...have to travel very far. The place for the first U.S.-Soviet summit conference in six years was no Yalta or Geneva. Rather, as the wife of New Jersey's Governor put it, it was "Smalltown, U.S.A.," the little (pop. 11,689) college community of Glassboro, 135 miles from Washington, near the Colonial farming settlement and crossroads once known as Long A-Comin...
