...Bush makes clear that he expects to operate strictly behind the scenes while doing little in the public eye, except perhaps attending those foreign funerals. His model Vice President is Nelson Rockefeller. At meetings of the National Security Council that Bush attended in 1975-76 as head of the CIA, he recalls, "Rockefeller gave his advice and would speak up even if he disagreed with President Ford. He was strong, and Ford was impressed." Bush says he will do the same, but he adds that "if Reagan took a position that I disagreed with, I would not try to embarrass...

In the standard stereotyped drama, he recalls, "you'd have a hero who becomes a model worker, then gets wounded, but comes back to work before his wounds are healed. Seeing 100 plays was the same as seeing one play. But now things are changing, and we feel the changes profoundly. We may even produce a Eugene O'Neill in China, maybe even our own Shakespeare...
