Henry Kissinger speaks about Andrei Gromyko

Gromyko had a great sense of humor. When we were in Moscow in the summit of 1972, I said to him, "Mr. Foreign Minister, our Xerox machine broke down. If I hold these documents up to the ceiling, would you give me a copy of what you photograph?” And he said, “I’d like to, but the cameras were installed by the czars. They’re good on people; they’re not good on documents."

Hahaha... that's hilarious. From what I heard Kissinger always knew how to keep those Kremlin commies laughing. It put them into a good negotiating mood.
