Nixon will leave Asia bound for Rumania and the first visit of a U.S. President to a Communist capital in history. On his homeward flight, he will make a refueling stop at a U.S. Air Force base in Britain, pausing long enough to hold a meeting with Prime Minister Harold Wilson. But the trip is designed primarily to give the President a solid grounding in Asian current affairs. In the unlikely event that he does not bring back enough homework of his own, he will get quite a bit more information from Secretary of State William Rogers, who will leave...

More leisurely visitors sipped wine in the chiaroscuro atmosphere of the Florian Café, where modern expatriates from Ezra Pound to Peggy Guggenheim have gathered to talk.

Present U.S. policy in Viet Nam "is viewed here with the greatest sympathy." He made no startling announcements regarding France's financial and economic problems, though he reiterated an oft-stated campaign theme that their solution depended on stimulating foreign trade. There was, in fact, little startling news anywhere in the conference, in sharp contrast to De Gaulle's habit of almost invariably springing a front-page surprise...
