...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. At a time when Republicans and conservatives suffer most from allegations of unfairness and snobbery, this Buckley is the mortal enemy of Republican election hopes...
...women have made the most advances." Indeed, should Ronald Reagan bow out in 1984, putting George Bush in the race for the presidency and leaving the vice presidency open, there are several G.O.P. women with running-mate potential.

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...
...South Korea outweighed its desire to humiliate the Soviet Union. It announced that it would abstain. Other Third World nations, including Zimbabwe and Guyana, argued that disputes over the facts of the incident made it impossible to single out the Soviets for blame. Applying strong pressure, U.S. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick was able to win the reluctant support of Jordan and Malta, thus corralling enough votes to force the Soviet Union to use its veto...
