BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Dec. 18&#8212;The key play was the first play today as the Minnesota Vikings trounced the Washington Redskins, 35&#8208;20, in the playoff game. What was it? A simple off&#8208;tackle call on which Francis Tarkenton handed the ball off to Brent McClanahan, Minnesota's &#8220;other&#8221; running back, and McClanahan raced downfield for 41 yards to the Redskin 25&#8208;yard line. That set the mood, the tone, of the one&#8208;sided contest.

WASHINGTON&#8212;Cyrus R. Vance, Secretary of State&#8208;designate; Zbigniew Brzezinski, who will be national security affairs adviser; W. Michael Blumenthal, named Secretary of the Treasury; Harold Brown, who may be chosen Defense Secretary&#8212;all are part of a small floating group that comes close to monopolizing the top foreign and national security posts in any administration. Known as the foreign policy community, it does not operate as a club of the like&#8208;minded or a conspiracy or a governing board. It acts more like an aristocracy of professionals. Its members sometimes actually make the decisions, usually define what is to be debated and invariably manage the resulting policies.

King Kong is something special and he knows it, so what he comes to New York to promote &#8220;King Kong,&#8221; the $25,000,000 remake of his 1933 picture, that opened this week, he asks for and gets the star treatment. He lays down rules. His press representative, a slight, nervous man, has at first demanded that I submit a list of questions to Kong in advance as well as allow Kong the right to check my copy. Both requests were turned down, though I compromised to the extent of telling the spokesperson some of the general topics I'd like to cover. &#8220;Just don't go into his private life,&#8221; said the spokesperson. &#8220;He won't talk about Christian Science, Mae. West, Doris Day or politics. He's a very private ape.&#8221;
