...Sovietization enable the U.S.S.R. to survive as the world's last multinational empire? Some Western experts, with more than a touch of wishful thinking in their speculation, predict that the U.S.S.R. will come apart along its Muslim seams in the south and east. Others, including National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, also look for trouble in Eastern Europe, particularly in Brzezinski's native Poland. Columbia University's Seweryn Bialer agrees. Until now, he says, the Soviets have been fortunate that uprisings have broken out in only one country at a time in Eastern Europe?East Germany, 1953; Hungary, 1956; Czechoslovakia...
Vance mentioned Carter only once, with words of praise for his energy program. He never mentioned his pugnacious rival. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, at all. But he must have been recalling past arguments in Washington when he warned a Harvard commencement audience of 25,000 against "a dangerous new nostalgia," a "longing for earlier days, when the world seemed, at least in retrospect, to have been a more orderly place, in which American power could, alone, preserve that order."

AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY under Zbigniew Brzezinski is returning to its state under our last realpolitik, government-professor National Security Adviser: a nearsighted, bipolar view of the world which cares less about a nation's welfare or common interests with us than about its value in the life-or-death wrestling match between the two superpowers.

...seated on your side of this room." He served on the committee for six years. Muskie's role in the Administration rather than his views on specific policy issues seemed to be on most Senators' minds. They urged him not to be upstaged by National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. Said Delaware Democrat Joseph Biden: "I hope that you will walk into the President's [office] and tell him that if he doesn't support you, you'll leave." New York Republican Jacob Javits assured Muskie of congressional backing if he gets into a squabble with...
Asked about foreign policy differences among officials in his Administration, Carter first denied that there were any, then took the occasion to rap his National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. Brzezinski, said Carter, "is kind of feisty. He's aggressive. He's innovative. He puts forth bright ideas, some of which have to be discarded." But Carter then dealt far more harshly with former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. Said the President: "I see Ed Muskie as being a much stronger and more statesmanlike ... figure who will be a more evocative spokesman for our nation's foreign policy...
