The story goes like this: When Richard Nixon was supposed to visit China, his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger went ahead of the President to look after the Protocol details. A journalist in Paris was given a scoop in the middle of the night or early mornig by good samaritan friend who was bothered about his welfare and promotion in the firm. The Scoop read: 'KISSINGER IN CHINA'. It arrived through the fax which invariably disturbed the sleep of the poor man who considered it a joke and called a lot of names to this person who had sent the fax. He slept over the fax. But when he got up next morning, he discoverd himself in a changed world. China and United States were friends and he had lost the one and the golden chance to become immortal and famous in history. Your prompt response to my mail tells me that you are a true journalist and would not commit the same mistake that that poor journalist had committed.AMATYA 'ACKROYD' RAKSHASAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05357932894180153743noreply@blogger.com
