...with high-visibility projects such as steel mills. At the same time, the U.S. has given an estimated $1 billion in military assistance to Pakistan, a member of the SEATO and CENTO alliances. John Kennedy, it is true, rushed $80 million in war supplies to New Delhi when the Sino-Indian border war erupted in 1962.

But the prospects for future tours are mind-bending: "Swim the Yangtze in Chairman Mao's wake," for example; or perhaps "Join the Harvest at the Sino-Albanian Friendship Commune." For the present, however, the few Americans allowed into China in the sneakered steps of the U.S. table tennis team have accumulated sufficient experiences to allow construction of a half-Baedeker...
