...Russia. Arbatov has, as he says, "done his homework" on the U.S. Currently he is doing some firsthand research by traveling in the U.S. and talking with journalists, businessmen (California's Norton Simon, Litton Industries' Charles-"Tex"-Thornton), and even U.S. Russia watchers (Columbia's Zbigniew Brzezinski, Harvard's Merle Fainsod). He participated in a discussion group of U.S. and Russian leaders in Rye, N.Y., and will travel to Washington, Boston and California before his return...
...party leaders, commissioning polls of voter attitudes toward Humphrey and drawing up an overall battle plan. For months, 32 individual study groups have been working up position papers for the Vice President.

Unable to cope with the complexities of the present, many of them try desperately to reassert simplistic values of the past. What passes for revolution in their case, says Brzezinski, is nothing...
...that Washington would like. Hanoi may get the N.L.F. recognized as a legal party, but not as a controlling force in a coalition government. If there is to be a settlement at all, it must be one that hews fairly closely to the existing situation. As Columbia Political Scientist Zbigniew Brzezinsky put it recently: "A settlement is a ratification of reality, not a structuring of reality...
