For a while he worked for Rockefeller Center in Manhattan and gained attention for recognizing the A.F.L. as the bargaining agent for center employees.

Even as Brzezinski was urging wholehearted support for the Shah, the President told reporters, "I don't know, I hope so," when asked if he thought the Shah could survive. U.S. dependents in Iran were told to stay there; then they were advised...
