Indira and Nehru flew on a scheduled Air India flight to New York, and Nehru arrived exhausted. Almost immediately after disembarking, badly jet-lagged, he had to appear on the current affair television programme, ‘Meet the Press’.. . . . . Then he and Indira went to Rhode Island to meet the Kennedys at their farm. Driving past huge mansions of the super rich in Newport, Kennedy jocularly remarked to nehru he wanted him to seel how the American poor lived. But Nehru did not crack a smile. . . . .

. . . The atmosphere did not improve in the capital. During talks between Nehru and Kennedy, which Question after question he answered with monosyllables or a sentence or two at most. The subjects covered included Berlin, Vietnam, nuclear testing and Indo-Pakistan relations, but only the last provoked any meaningful response from Nehru. Nehru and Kennedy then had a long private meeting, but neither divulged what transpired during it. . . . .~ 262
