...Kennedy School speech, Fahrenkopf referred to the opportunity the Reagan administration has given a select few Republican women--Sandra Day O'Connor, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and Elizabeth Dole--to serve in public office. What he failed to mention was that his "party of the future" would be infringing on the rights of millions of women by turning the calendar back on the abortion ruling...
Besides Bush and Kemp, Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole is expected to enter the race. Other possible hopefuls include Howard Baker (who held Dole's job before retiring last year), former Delaware Governor Pierre du Pont IV and even the freshly converted Jeane Kirkpatrick, recently retired Ambassador to the U.N. Yet Bush and Kemp so far best symbolize the struggle for the mantle of Reaganism, the battle between the mainstream of the party establishment and the activists of the New Right. Some Republican strategists even believe that the race will turn into a "cultural civil war," pitting the blue-blooded...
Outside of the President and perhaps the Vice President, Kirkpatrick, 58, is the most sought after political speaker in the country. She plans to accept 50 of more than 200 lecture invitations she has received for the coming year. Her fee is $20,000 and up, meaning that she will pull in a cool $1 million at least.

Republican National Committee Chairman Frank Fahrenkopf plans to showcase Kirkpatrick in a $100,000 campaign to convert Democrats in four states with potentially close Senate races next year (Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Louisiana). Last Friday 1,000 Republicans paid $50 a plate to hear her address a dinner in Des Moines; counting others who put up $1,000 each to meet her at a private reception, her appearances raised...
...Kirkpatrick's cult standing with the party's ruling right wing was firmly established last summer, when her attack on "the San Francisco Democrats," whom she blamed for an era of national self-doubt, drew a foot-stamping response at the Republican Convention in Dallas. While her departure from the Administration was somewhat strained, Reagan went to considerable lengths to retain her. Though it has never been mentioned publicly, Secretary of State George Shultz offered her a job as his deputy. Kirkpatrick has continued to please conservative supporters with calls for an assertive U.S. foreign policy. She has been especially...
