...Chandler. Hopper's European contemporaries, especially in Weimar, Germany, had also dealt with this theme: the city as condenser of loneliness. But none of them did it with the same etiquette of feeling. Hopper had no expressionist instincts at all. He sensed, but did not agonize over, a profound solitude, a leaning toward Thanatos that lay at the core of American optimism. Although he was the first painter to deal with it, he was not the first American to do so. The natural text for Hopper's city painting had been written by Melville in the first pages...

Seweryn Bialer, a fellow Polish American who succeeded Brzezinski as director of the Research Institute on International Change at Columbia University, calls him "extraordinarily decent and honest." Bialer says he has profound disagreements with the Carter Administration, particularly over its difficulty in promulgating clear and steady policies, but he does not blame Brzezinski alone: "It's the President's fault. My disappointment with Brzezinski is that he cannot change the President to make him less spasmodic...
