Yeah, ol' Nicolai & Nixon were buds, sort of. You'd thought a old cold warrior like Nixon wouldn't have warmed up to Ceaucescu, easily the most despotic of the Comecon despots, but he did. Ceausescu seemed to draw his influence from Hitler & Dracula. Most of the Russians & Comecon leaders had SOMETHING to like about them, albeit small, but Nicolai had absolutely NOTHING to redeem him. Even his wife was hateful. But boy, did they get theirs in the end. Couldn't have happened to a nicer couple....-Sandy G.
