...RUSSIA v. CHINA. "The shaking of hands by Chou Enlai, Mao Tse-tung and Nixon is a result of Chinese-Russian antagonism. China is trying to isolate its No. 1 enemy, Russia. The U.S. is the No. 2 enemy. For Russia, China is the No. 1 enemy and the U.S. is No. 2. The Russians hate me. It seems that my only sin is to be too strongly supported by China...
...tronies and absurdities were all there, befitting such a grand show. There stood Richard Nixon stalwart of Dulles's moribund cold war strategy of the fifties shaking hands with Premier Chou En-lat and Chairman Mao Tse-tung and reciting quotations from Mao himself (even if only from his poems).

Quick Mind. To keep up the spirit of summitry, Nixon and Foreign Policy Adviser Henry Kissinger spent much of last week briefing Cabinet officers, congressional leaders and newsmen on what had gone on behind the scenes in Peking.

Today it is slower, far less cosmopolitan, and a bit more relaxed and friendly than dour Peking or supercharged Shanghai. The Communist regime has turned the city into an industrial hub, but the factories are mercifully screened from view by groves of trees. TIME Correspondent Jerrold Schecter, who was permitted...
...line runs all through Nanking. At one school I was treated to a recital of songs by the Little Red Soldiers Mao Tse-tung Thought Team. Then there was the demonstration by the People's Militia, which practices twice a week. The marksmen-some were eight-year-old girls who were smaller than the rifles they carried -ran to the firing line shouting "Heighten our vigilance, defend the motherland!" The targets no longer carried the slogan "Defeat the U.S. aggressors and all their running dogs," but the children managed to demolish them.anyway. The platoon leader, a 30-year...
