...cool, gray professional who serves as the U.S.'s 56th Secretary of State, last week found himself tossing and twisting on a blue and green sofa bed some 35,000 ft. over the Sahara desert. He was on the move once again, in a white and blue Air Force Boeing 707 outfitted like a flying foreign ministry, with its own cryptographic machines and its own ice cubes...
...Leslie Gelb, director of the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs; Legal Adviser Herb Hansell, and Nimetz. Next in order came Dutch Foreign Minister Christoph van der Klaauw, CBS Correspondent Richard Hottelet, and a White House meeting on SALT between the President and Brzezinski.

Marshall Shulman, 62. Sporting an old-fashioned green eyeshade and cultivating the air of an absent-minded professor baffled by governmental bureaucracy, the longtime director of Columbia University's Russian Institute has become Vance's closest adviser and a key influence on Soviet-American policy.

Gregory made his twin-engined Beechcraft available to ferry Carter's mother, Miss Lillian, to a wedding in Fayetteville, N.C., in December. Trinkets from such encounters line Gregory's walls...
...arrive to carry you back north, you walk along the Washington streets. The sun is down now, but the sky is still deepening, an electric blue background for a postcard-pretty, 1000-megawatt Capitol dome. Your legs ache a little, and you feel drained, peaceful in the night air. For a second, staring at the brilliant white Capitol dome, you feel a pang of--nah, really? You?--patriotism. It's getting late. Some kids are running across the courtyard below the Capitol building, brandishing sticks and hollering away the silence...
