While the status of Sino-Soviet relations will not be explicitly raised by Brzezinski during his trip, China's deep fear of the U.S.S.R. has been a crucial element in the development of closer U.S.-Chinese ties. But the very slow pace of normalizing the links between Washington and Peking has clearly displeased Chinese leaders. One of Brzezinski's main tasks will be to assure China's leaders of the U.S. commitment to closer ties with their country...
Until a Palestinian leadership arises which is willing to base its claim on the deep-felt national identity of the Palestinian people, rather than on denial of the deep-felt national identity of the Jews, which will reciprocate the proclamation of Israel's first president, Chaim Weizmann, that "co-operation and friendly work with the Arab people must be the cornerstone of all our Zionist activities in the land of Israel," and which will advocate its cause with treaties at a peace table instead of with the grenades and machine guns of terrorist "freedom fighters" on civilian buses--until that...

That is a gross oversimplification. Two very different calamities befell the two earlier Presidents; Johnson was swept aside by a deep historic groundswell against the Viet Nam War, while Nixon was engulfed by a series of misdeeds and deceptions of his own making. If Carter fails to assert stronger leadership, and to project a sense and a pattern of purpose, the premature talk about a one-term presidency may yet become pertinent...
