Five Strikes & a Spare. Eisenhower and Khrushchev flew from Washington to Camp David together in a helicopter, accompanied only by their interpreters and secret-service details. Their principal aides-Secretary of State Christian Herter and Ambassador to the U.N. Henry Cabot Lodge; Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and U.S.S.R. Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov-also helicoptered together. First evening the two parties sat down to a roast beef dinner, afterwards watched U.S. Navy movies taken on the North Pole trip of the nuclear submarine Nautilus, and also took in a western movie.

When it came time for the predictable message, Khrushchev was, as always, prepared: "These Soviet and American pigs can coexist-why then can't our nations coexist as well? . . . If I may say something in a joking manner-slaves of capitalism live well. But slaves of Communism also live well...
