Carloads pursued the couple when they went into town. A motor-boatload of newsmen rocked their sloop during an afternoon sail. Kissinger finally negotiated a truce halfway through the ten-day honeymoon. In exchange for a press conference, the newsmen agreed to leave the couple alone. Summoning the press to the house of Mexican Foreign Minister Emilio Rabasa, Kissinger, dressed in a white guayabera (a casual Mexican shirt), was his usual genial self. Nancy, peering from...
