...complexity. Carter, the engineer, has addressed energy, inflation, unemployment, the Middle East, the SALT II agreement and government reorganization, treating each one methodically and with an almost unheard-of degree of presidential attention to detail. He has also been willing to try bold new approaches, like the Camp David summit. Yet the more he studies, the more it becomes apparent not only that each problem is difficult, but that each is connected to other problems.

President Jimmy Carter and Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski both recognize that Washington's announcement of diplomatic relations with Peking, plus next week's visit by Teng Hsiao-p'ing, provoked the Soviets to stall on a new SALT treaty and a summit meeting between Carter and Leonid Brezhnev. In Washington, the Cabinet-level Policy Review Committee on China has recommended that the President avoid any steps that could be construed as a "tilt" toward China at the expense of the Soviet Union...
