...United States doesn't have a "shadow cabinet", but in the months ahead Cy Vance may be looking over his shoulder for evidence of one in the State Department. Lest Vance get hung up on the silly notion that he's the head honcho for foreign policy in the Carter camp, Zbigniew Brzezinski will be lurking in the dark corners of Foggy Bottom, trying to imitate the back-door strategy of another diplomat from the halls of academe...
Shirley MacLaine, who kicked off the show, sang a new version of Cy Coleman's It's Not Where You Start (the last lines: "It's where you finish/ And you've finished on top"). Leonard Bernstein conducted the National Symphony Orchestra in his composition If Ever Man Were Loved by Wife, which he dedicated to Rosalynn.

Instead, he will concentrate on organizing his staff and working with Jimmy Carter to develop the new Administration's foreign policy. Even after this initial period is over, Vance said, he does not envision a major personal role for himself as an international negotiator. But, he added, along with Carter, "I clearly intend to be involved in the determination of what the U.S. negotiating strategy will be." Thus, while Vance will not completely abandon Kissinger's balance-of-power approach to foreign affairs...
