Nonetheless, Brzezinski's bristling rhetoric-diplomacy by bluster, some called it-kept his colleagues nervous. Kissinger, for one, tried quietly through various Cabinet members to convince Carter that he should get rid of Brzezinski.

...more solemn study and the focus of boundless popular curiosity. It has become a truly prodigal fountainhead of entertainment, inspiring everything from sappy comedy to high tragedy, engendering chillers, thrillers and even fantasies that have been coming forth in salvos of histories, novels, movies and television shows. Furthermore, say experts who keep an eye on such trends, although it has not yet given birth to a Gone With the Wind, World War II is at last supplanting the Civil War as the country's favorite conflict for probing, pondering and-to be honest-enjoying...
