On 3 June 1961 Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev arrived in Vienna. Shortly afterwards, U.S. Air Force One landed at Vienna's Schwechat Airport and John Kennedy disembarked. After the unsuccessful invasion of Cuba, there was much to talk about. Moreover, it was finally time for Kennedy to get to know his famous antagonist personally. This summit, followed closely by the curious Viennese and vigorously acclaimed at every opportunity, established Vienna's reputation as a city for high-ranking international conferences once and for all. Where else can security and quality of life blend so thoroughly with charm and sophisticated culture? How else can one explain the light-hearted atmosphere in which Nikita Khrushchev wagered over a pig with Leopold Figl, president of the Austrian parliament?
