About.com table tennis forum member RDIRT posted a link to this excellent article about the origins of ping-pong diplomacy, and the men who began it - Glenn Cowan of the USA and Zhuang Zedong of China. For those of you interested in the history of table tennis - or who first heard about it due to the ping-pong diplomacy rematch, this is a entertaining must read.
