Barbara Walters was a part of the media entourage. I wonder what her memories are.

Couldn't they have kept him?

The sheer bizarreness of Nixon in China is what makes it so glorious to watch.

The rhythms and the tango dance make 'Nixon in China' glorious to listen to.

It must have been so weird for Walters and Walter Cronkite and the rest to go as part of the presidential entourage: China was not just new to presidential diplomacy but to them too. Very few Westerners had been allowed to visit China since 1949: they had little sense of what to expect.

[quote]The trip was historic for many reasons: Gough Whitlam was one of the first Western leaders, in opposition at the time, to make high-level political contact with the most populous communist power in the world during the Cold War.
