...Appalled by whispers of Gloria Sr.'s loose life of pornographic orgies and sapphic lovers, Little Gloria's paternal aunt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, sued for custody of the child in 1934 and won.

Along with her appeal to male conservatives, Kirkpatrick is in good standing with feminists. Says Judy Goldsmith, president of the National Organization for Women: "Whether she is a Democrat or a Republican is not relevant to NOW.
