...attach the utmost importance to our relationship with the U.S. Certainly there were some shocks last year. Concerning the President's visit to Peking, we had a talk about that at San Clemente, so I was not surprised by the outcome. We also dwelt on economic problems, some of which still remain, even though President Nixon ordered a wage-price freeze and made an agreement on a currency realignment. I hope very much that the U.S.'s economic well-being will be restored soon, because we are so dependent on the U.S. for our own well-being...

Pearlstein scorns using photographs. "It never occurred...
...researchers feel as free to advance hypotheses as they wish, whatever the evidence (or lack thereof) may be; but when dealing with propositions so monstrous and destructive to human relations and the cause of human dignity as that of hereditary racial inferiority, let this freedom be tempered by the utmost caution and sense of responsibility. In the case of your Atlantic article this, it seems to me, would have called for a careful and extensive discussion of the existing lack of evidence on point (2) and of the considerable difficulties in overcoming it. I do not claim that my morals...
