Nikita Khrushchev's quote
When Richard Nixon told Khrushchev all about the great inventions America had back in the 50's, Khrushchev replied, "Don't you Americans have a machine that puts food in people's mouths and pushes it down?" Everyone thinks that he was making a comment about the USA caring more about consumer gadgets than conquering poverty, but it sounds like he was making a reference to the cruel "feeding machine" in Modern Times.
