...Zbigniew Brzezinski, the President's foreign policy expert, is fully schooled in the tradition of predecessors like McGeorge Bundy, Walt Rostow and Kissinger. Crisis was a way of life. Their families were stangers. They set up cots next to their desks so that they could be within steps of the hot-line messages that dropped into the Situation Room. Not only did Brzezinski defy tradition by going off to Maine's Mount Desert Island for a week, but when his boss was at Camp David, he played tennis on the White House court in the middle...
...When Zbigniew went to Camp David to confer with Carter, the President and Rosalynn were riding bicycles in the sunshine. The consultations on the mountaintop were so productive that Brzezinski vowed to recommend that the White House set up summer operation at Camp David from June to September for at least three or four days of each week...

He called for a "new international economic order" and for new American leadership to help create it-a leadership that would set "politically and morally compelling directions to which the public might then positively respond." Now the Polish emigre academic, a man of angular features whose crew cut seems a carryover from the '50s, is comfortably entrenched in the West Wing of Jimmy Carter's White House, in the same large, gold-hued corner...
