...Pentagon. But again, the success of his efforts will depend largely on administration support, both in the public tone it sets for arms control and in its long term plans for weapons procurement. Carter's recent advocacy of arms control will come to naught if it is not followed by decisive action in the bureaucratic battles that are sure to follow in the months and years ahead...
Warnke has written that the Soviet Union has only one "super-power model" to follow in its defense policies, and he has urged that it is time for the United States to start presenting a wortheir model for the future: "The steps we can take in trying to start a process of reciprocal restraint are not drastic. They would create no risk to our national security. We can be the first off the treadmill. That's the only victory the arms race has to offer." Jimmy Carter has chosen for himself an able advocate and adviser in Paul Warnke...
...book is a tangle of anecdotes. Some are funny, some are interesting, but there's not nearly enough material here for even a magazine feature, let alone a full book.

It turned out that Neal's pipe had burst and been repaired. He had, in fact, been in the bathtub when...
Prenotification is a key part of Carter's anti-inflation strategy. The President does not want to let wage and price boosts follow their own course; yet he has ruled out controls, and is reluctant to proclaim hard-and-fast guidelines businessmen and labor leaders would be expected to follow. That leaves jawboning against individual pay and price hikes, but Carter would like to avoid noisy public confrontations. So his advisers have been passing the word that corporate and union chiefs planning increases that could significantly affect the economy should talk them over with Administration officials privately in advance...
