became paramount.

WASHINGTON - Working at the National Archives in the late 1990s,
historian William Burr stumbled onto a 1962 telegram written by fabled
diplomat
George Kennan about China's nuclear program. The telegram, essentially a
translation of a Yugoslav newspaper article, was mostly innocuous, but
Burr decided to
make a copy of it.
