CHOU: Your flight was smooth, I hope? | |
NIXON: Oh yes, | |
smoother than usual I guess. | |
Yes, it was very pleasant. | |
We stopped in Hawaii for a day | |
and Guam, to catch up on the time. | |
It's easier that way. | |
The Prime Minister knows about that. | |
He is such a traveller. | |
CHOU: No, not I but as a traveller come home | |
for good to China, one for whom | |
all travel is a penance now. | |
I am most proud to welcome you. |
