Current Events

As in his 1967 book "Orbit
of China" Mr. Salisbury
concentrates on history and
traditions as a basis for
understanding current events.

Mr. Salisbury also called for
an end to American blockade
attempts in China.

History Prof. Thomas T.
Hammond echoed the praises
of Mr. Salisbury's
contemporaries when he said
"Mr. Salisbury seems to be a
really professional
newspaperman. He has a nose

for news and is always where
the action is. And, aside from
being a journalist writing on
today's news, he is also a
historian."
