...Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin. He has markedly improved his grasp of foreign affairs (see interview page 14). As a result, he speaks out more confidently. He has recently been at pains to stress the U.S. commitment to South Korea and suggest the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons in its defense...
Rising sales of tennis equipment and enrollments in health clubs suggest that the U.S. is becoming a nation of fitness fiends. Yet for every jogger puffing through a park, there are probably still a dozen more Americans for whom a stiff workout is getting up during a TV commercial to fetch another beer.

He is like a little boy throwing a nightlong temper tantrum. His twitchy gestures suggest those of a puppet on the strings of a drunken puppeteer. His voice is woefully devoid of resonance.
