...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. Carter never went along, although White House senior aides say the President has developed a healthy skepticism about Brzezinski's steady stream of proposals. During the final spasms of the Iranian crisis, for instance, it was first decided that Brzezinski, not Vance, should fly over to try personally to bolster the Shah, a mission Brzezinski eagerly pushed. At the last moment, Carter was talked out of the plan, finally agreeing that...
...public for fine photographic prints is growing, and prices are soaring (see box). But it can hardly be called a large audience. Most people are immersed in a daily stream of documentary photographs from newspapers, magazines and television. The purpose of these images is information; they are scanned, milked, passed over. From that documentary point of view there is something perverse and excessive in the very idea of paying thousands of dollars for a single photo, a sum which a decade ago would have brought home three or four moderately good Rembrandt etchings...
...Then I looked a little closer and noticed a construction crew working out on the street. With mean jackhammers and hard, old faces, they penetrated concrete and dredged up sludge. Scrubby, spotless students passed them by with remarkable direction and oblivious, vacant expressions. They continued like a stream of mosaic colors, and the noise became louder; orange cement mixers whirling and turning and the tools spitting out their dense, metallic noises; they got louder and louder, so loud that I blocked my ears and worried that my neighbor might come to complain about the stereo again.

...dynasty, a new spirit ruled the land. From the flagpole by the bunker in Managua where exiled Dictator Anastasio ("Tacho") Somoza Debayle had commanded a bloody last stand fluttered the red-and-black banner of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (F.S.L.N.). Even the sounds were different Gone was the stream of anti-Communist propaganda that had once poured from Somoza's radio station. In its place came round-the-clock broadcasts of revolutionary songs and tributes to General Cesar Augusto Sandino, the legendary nationalist guerrilla slain by Somoza's father in 1934. Proclaimed an announcer: "The sons...
...ambitious new design, the rising price of petroleum seems destined to awaken the nation from its energy stupor. As the cost of crude climbs, more and more technologies-some of them new and exotic, others as familiar as moonshine stills and windjammer sailing ships-are beginning to come on stream to conserve fuel and produce energy for the 1980s from unconventional sources. Clever inventors and canny investors see prospects of becoming instant energy millionaires. Long stagnant industries such as coal and steel stand to recover and prosper. Resource-rich regions can expect to surge as new plants and mines start...
