...other powers. This week we undertake a major assessment of Carter's international performance to date. In accompanying articles we discuss secretary of State Cyrus Vance and how he fits in to the mechanism that shape foreign policy, and we report the ideas of National Security Adviser Zbigmew Brzezinski...
