Highly intelligent and with a generous share of ego, Brzezinski does not suffer fools easily. He gives the impression he does not think there are many people around with better ideas than he has - except for one notable exception: Carter. Asked from whom Brzezinski seeks counsel, one aide replied: "He listens to the President...
...main components of federal welfare?Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Medicaid, food stamps and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?distribute more than $30 billion to some 30 million Americans. The vast program is unfair and inefficient. Benefits vary widely across the country, in part because the states share the cost of the program, and their contributions differ dramatically. A family of four in Mississippi, for instance, receives $60 a month; in New York, it would get $450. Fathers are encouraged to desert, since AFDC payments generally go to single-parent families. If welfare mothers choose to work full...

Meantime, Gulf had missed out on most of the big U.S.oil strikes?the Rocky Mountains, west Texas, east Texas and Alaska...
...nations that are euphemistically classified as less developed countries (LDCs). People in the industrialized countries with pressing economic problems of their own might well say, "So what?" Poverty has long been a fact of life, and Americans especially feel that they have done more than their share in giving foreign aid since World War II. It is not, however, a question of altruism. The advanced countries have an urgent self-interest in improving a situation that in a few years may well overshadow any other international issue...
