...Crimson then changes gears rather abruptly and comes up with a solution to the world's problems. Eureka! Socialism, obviously somewhat of a cause celebre on these pages, is a panacea that will save us; all we must do is "change the system," like changing from one brand of gasoline to another. This is a remarkably good example of what The Crimson has told us it abhors only a few paragraphs before--"simplistic--but useful--political analysis...
...influence on the negotiations and perhaps even deadlock them. Sadat apparently balked: he wants to give Kissinger another chance to pressure Israel into returning more of occupied Sinai to Egypt as another positive step toward settlement. Unwilling to suffer what might appear to be a rejection of his own brand of personal diplomacy, Brezhnev put off his trip.

He plans on 250 days of campaigning next year, during which he will rely on a savvy brand of political toughness underneath his populist, courtly charm. When a Washington reporter asked him last week if, considering the odds against him, he was not really running for Vice President, Carter replied evenly: "I'm not interested in the vice presidency, but I am very interested in the selection...
