Nixon, comporting himself with dignity but with an enthusiasm that sometimes made him seem overeager, said nothing of importance in public during the entire trip. His ingratiating small talk was more pedestrian than usual; his toasts were ringing evocations of a world without walls. He even quoted Mao Tse-tung: "So many deeds cry out to be done . . .
