Nikki not allowed to visit Disneyland...

Frankly, I've always had a sneaking respect for Nikita Krushchev... At least it seemed like he had a sense of humor when he wasn't banging shoes on desks.

Anyhow, there is the story of an American visit in 1959 where he toured all over the place. Yes, it was propaganda, BUT on the other hand, he should have been allowed to go to Disneyland... Everybody eventually visits!

It seems like even Walt was kind of looking forward to this...
What a publicity coup it would have been.
