...Kissinger built a powerful policymaking apparatus that eclipsed the State Department. When Kissinger became Secretary of State in 1973, he took power with him to Foggy Bottom: his hand-picked successor as National Security Adviser, retired Air Force Lieut. General Brent Scowcroft, was strictly a scrupulous administrator. During the Carter Administration, Zbigniew Brzezinski in his turn built a Kissinger-style policy machine that competed for influence with State...
...Canaveral pad where he was first launched to prominence 21 years ago, he had a retort to Mondale written out: "For him to criticize me is a little like the first mate on the Titanic criticizing someone for going for a Lifeboat." He tagged Mondale as part of the Carter Administration that had given the country 21% interest rates and 17% inflation, leaving behind a deep economic mess. Glenn conceded that he had voted for some of Reagan's proposals in the Senate, but only after trying unsuccessfully to modify them. Said he: "What it came down...

While he did not always prevail in the private councils of the Carter Administration, his was the most active vice presidency in history...
...Glenn equally strong against President Reagan. One might wish for a crystal ball in trying to predict the outcome of the post-convention campaign but the recent past indicates that if the race is close a debate may be decisive. Certainly in the 1976 contest between Ford and Carter and again in 1980, a debate had a major impact. On the basis of Mondale's showing against Bob Dole in the 1976 vice presidential debate I would much prefer Mondale over Glenn in a debate showdown with President Reagan...
