...three weeks into Carter's presidency; Carter's ill-fated ?and ill-considered?opening move in SALT, which would have required drastic reductions in the Soviet arsenal; his unseemly rush to normalize diplomatic relations with Peking, grant China most-favored-nation status and sell it military equipment; his saber rattling over the belated discovery last August of a Soviet combat brigade in Cuba...
