...figure of 78 hours. The problem is that the library, despite its name, is "public" in only one aspect: its availability to the multitudes. Only $2.5 million of its annual budget is contributed by the taxpayers of New York City. The other $17.5 million comes from private bequests, state and federal grants and donations from the public. It is woefully inadequate. Priceless books are disintegrating in the humidity because there is no air conditioning. A backlog of 200,000 acquisitions in storage may take two decades to process fully. There are only 19 guards for five stories of two block...
...With Brzezinski around the long oval table were, among others: Vice President Walter Mondale, Pentagon Chief Harold Brown, CIA Director Stansfield Turner, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman David Jones and Presidential Senior Adviser Hedley Donovan. They were joined, some 70 min. later, by Carter and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who had been conferring in the President's family quarters. At 10:30 the meeting broke up.

Over the weekend the seven and the other members (including former Secretaries of State Dean Rusk and Henry Kissinger) were to receive a thorough briefing on Vance's talks with the Soviets. Then they planned to huddle with Carter and top White House aides. Although the process seems time consuming, the outside experts would not be asked to reach a consensus, but would be used as a sounding board for Administration officials...
...Portillo, 59, flashed toothy smiles and made an awkward attempt to stand together arm in arm. But the transparent effort to present a buddy-buddy image tailed to camouflage the uneasy relations between the circumspect Carter and the blunt, ebullient Mexican. Their lack of rapport mirrors the testy state of affairs between the U.S. and its angry, increasingly influential neighbor to the south...
