Abstract

THE AUTHOR TAKES A LOOK AT THE USE OF AIRPLANE TRAVEL FOR DIPLOMATIC NEGOTIATIONS. HE TRACES HOW ROBERT MCNAMARA FLEW BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SAIGON AND WASHINGTON IN THE EARLY 60'S, HOW AVERELL HARRIMAN TOOK OFF TO INDIA AND PAKISTAN, & HOW HENRY KISSINGER FLIES FROM WASHINGTON TO NORTH VIETNAM, PARIS, CAMBODIA, AND BACK AGAIN. BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN TIME ZONES, JET LAG IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM.
