Carter moved quickly to recover. He made an appearance of his own before reporters to proclaim that he had begun working to ease California's gas shortage long before Brown's visit. On May 1, Carter said, the Department of Energy changed the gasoline allocation formula so that California will get more gas.

Louis claims to have worked on The Coming Decline for ten years, roughly the length of time since he became the first Soviet citizen in two decades to visit Chiang Kai-shek's Taiwan, secretly, in late 1968.

At the invitation of President José López Portillo, Castro made a 32-hour visit to the resort island of Cozumel, with a brief stop on the mainland. Between meetings with López Portillo, who effusively welcomed him as "one of the personalities of this century" who had "restored dignity to Cuba," Castro inspected Mayan ruins in Tulum, and ogled bikini-clad American tourists...
