...Clark's top deputy, Robert McFarlane, a seasoned and pragmatic professional in national security affairs. But as always when a powerful post is up for grabs, there were other contenders. Officials who feared that "Bud" McFarlane would not be a forceful advocate for hard-line views vigorously promoted Jeane Kirkpatrick, Reagan's intellectual, ideological and sometimes abrasive Ambassador to the United Nations...
...alongside this winning Buckley lurks Buckley the Patrician--heir to a family fortune, yachtsman, product of British prep schools and America's second best university. This Buckley sails and skis for fun, goes to ballets with the President's son, substitutes U.N. Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick when Vice-President George Bush can't lunch with him.

Startled White House aides tried to douse that fire by saying that Lichenstein's views were purely "personal." Then U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick sprinkled some kerosene on the blaze. Let the U.N. deliberate for six months of each year in the U.S., she proposed, but give delegates a taste of Soviet life by moving them to Moscow for the other six. That controversial notion she quickly disowned as "academic" speculation...
