Nixon's speech was a ringing retort to Soviet internal propaganda that the exhibition was not typical of U.S. life. Expecting that his speech' would reach millions of Russians (it was printed in both Pravda and Izvestia), Nixon had thrown away the State Department's proposed drafts and written his own text to take advantage of the richest propaganda opportunity the Soviet government had ever handed a U.S. official...
Hall of Rabbits. By this time the Soviet press had thawed, and began running detailed accounts of the running debate between Nixon and Khrushchev. Both Pravda and Izvestia even carried photographs of Nixon. When Nixon got around to visiting Moscow's permanent U.S.S.R. Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition, just about everybody in Moscow seemed to know who he was. Walking around the monumental 500-acre exhibition - which even includes a Hall of Rabbits-Nixon shook more than a hundred hands, smiled at and was smiled at by thousands of friendly Russians...

While New Yorkers were jamming into the Coliseum to look over Soviet wares ranging from Sputnik models to calendar...

Wrote one Russian professor about an encounter in the heart of Manhattan. "I can almost see standing in front of me now a man of 35, unshaven, in a soiled, rumpled raincoat, hunched over, and in a whisper asking for only a cigarette." Pravda this month gleefully printed an Associated Press picture (see. cut) of the tattered family and the shack of a striking Kentucky coal miner...
