didn't you have a Nixon version of the golden rule for dealing with the Russians oh yes I uh had a very interesting conversation in the first state dinner that we had for go to myair uh she was very concerned uh about what she thought was a soft-headed views of some Europeans uh who were slobbering over it as she put it the idea of Deton and she just wanted to be sure that we weren't taken in by the Russians because she grew up in Russia and she remembered uh that uh the Russian drunken policeman used to
come by every Saturday night and beat her father up because they happened to be a Jew and so she had strong emotional feelings against them but also she didn't trust them generally and then in order to reassure a bit I said well let me give you a definition of dayon that is a little different I said there is the Golden Rule of the Bible do unto others as they do unto you I said that isn't the way you deal with the Russians uh the international Golden Rule and particularly one that must apply whenever you're dealing
with an adversary like the Russians is do unto others as they do unto you she started a nod and Henry Kissinger said plus 10%
