A few days later, regressing to kindergarten, someone had written "Bert and Margie sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g."

President Jimmy Carter and Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski both recognize that Washington's announcement of diplomatic relations with Peking, plus next week's visit by Teng Hsiao-p'ing, provoked the Soviets to stall on a new SALT treaty and a summit meeting between Carter and Leonid Brezhnev.
