...variety of conflicting signals reaching the Soviets has prompted New Times, a Moscow weekly, to complain about the "contradictory and unpredictable nature of the Washington Administration's behavior," which is as "changeable as the weather." Some U.S. allies make similar complaints. Groused West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt: "There is no consistency [to Carter's policies]. It's constant zigzagging...

...Washington, Miller is widely regarded as one of the best appointments that Carter has made. Private bankers commonly echo Milton W. Hudson, vice president of Manhattan's Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., who says Miller has put on "a virtuoso performance." Foreign leaders agree. Typically, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, who has long railed at Washington for failing to appreciate the dangers of the dollar's slide, feels that he has at last found a firm ally in Miller...
