...search the past for artists who were pariahs then, suitable for veneration now. Thus the hierarchy is upended. Novelists lauded in the '50s are forgotten now (don't expect a Sloan Wilson or James Gould Cozzens revival any time soon), while writers who were published only in cheap paperbacks (Jim Thompson) are heroes.

But he was never a chief of staff in the Jim Baker/Ken Duberstein/Leon Panetta mold. Those men played a different hand: they stood at the cross section of policy and politics, managed the process beneath them and teed up the crucial decisions for their boss.
