Summary / Abstract (Note) | There was a time when America’s heartland was seen as critical to the nation’s strength. Its food, factories and coal powered the nation; its men and women fought its wars; and its white-picket-fenced small towns evoked the American dreams of foreigners. During the Cold War, none other than Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev visited one such town – Ames, Iowa – because he was ‘curious to have a look’ at America while in the country for meetings in 1959. |
