...Soviets have helped Carter out with this handicap of his. They lied to him about their involvement in Africa. Andrei Gromyko's eyeball-to-eyeball prevarication on that occasion is perhaps the greatest breach of diplomatic trust yet experienced by Carter. He believes the Chinese have never lied to him. Beyond that, when the President discussed the world with Teng, both men were somewhat surprised at how much they agreed about Western Europe, Africa, the Middle East. Even at this tentative stage, the Americans who are looking ahead to the Brezhnev meeting see that there will be substantive confrontations...
...dangerous source of energy. The agency's leaders and bureaucrats also developed a contemptuous attitude towards the people they ostensibly served; Jenkins who had been fighting federal regulation of strip mining told the press that he would pass a good bill if "the neurotics and psychotics would just trust us."

As consolidation of the market has quickened in the last several years (there were...
...During all those years," says an Iranian official, trying to explain the Khomeini phenomenon, "you couldn't talk to anybody because you couldn't trust anybody. Khomeini was strong enough to say one thing and stand for one cause from the beginning. The people began to appreciate him, and now they glorify him. No one should rule out the possibility of chaos, but there is one element that makes me think that it can be avoided: our religion. This religion will keep people together in spite of the horrible things that have been done...
