...people's business was humming at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and on Capitol Hill at a tempo brisker than any heard since Lyndon Johnson's happiest days?and the tune was pretty much the President's. Nixon returned to the capital early in the week from his round-the-world tour with stops in Asia and Rumania; six days later, he flew to California for a month's vacation on the Pacific oceanfront, with a state dinner for the Apollo 11 astronauts in Los Angeles scheduled for this week. It was what came between jet journeys that counted...
...made relations between the U.S. and Europe better than they have been for years. The moon landing left Europeans spellbound, and Charles de Gaulle is no longer France; but some of the credit for improvement in the U.S.-European ambience this year is due to Nixon's February tour of NATO capitals and the sound advice of the President's White House foreign-policy adviser, Dr. Henry Kissinger...
...President's Asian tour seemed to be a limited success: the Nixon message, that the U.S. will keep a lower silhouette in that part of the world once the Viet Nam war is over, was received with understanding, though Nixon kept U.S. intentions inexact.

Though his speeches will be fewer, he will try to make them deeper. Muskie will also seek...
Though no formal friendship pact between the U.S. and Rumania was negotiated during President Nixon's visit to Bucharest, Rumanians seemed convinced last week that one had been signed, sealed and delivered. In an informal sense, it had. The images of Nixon's tour would remain for a long time. People folded away newspaper clippings showing a smiling Nixon with Rumanian shoppers and folk dancers (see color). They held onto the miniature U.S. flags handed out for the President's reception. Well into the week, at least one Bucharest shopwindow was still decorated with a homemade...
