...enable economic decision makers to become familiar with the issues and the personalities that make current history. The first News Tour, to Western Europe and Russia, resulted in a long and memorable interview with Nikita Khrushchev. On three subsequent tours to Asia and Eastern Europe, participants met Marshal Tito, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, Indonesian President Suharto, Pakistan's then-President Ayub Khan, Generalissimo and Mme.
