...ADMINISTRATION'S policy shift has not been without its critics, U.N. ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick's consultation last March with high-level South African intelligence officials aroused fears that "constructive engagement" would involve Americans in the South African regime's repression of Blacks. A series if unexplained but highly-official diplomatic shuttles between Pretoria and Washington, along with voices of outcry from Black African capitals, added to the sense of confusion. More recently, a Reagan Administration's effort to back South Africa officially in certain areas has become clear, most prominently its pledge to veto any resolution in the U.N. security...
...Haig-Gromyko conference took place in the office of the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Jeane Kirkpatrick, on the eleventh floor of the U.S. Mission in New York. Sitting on green sofas, the two men chatted while photographers clicked away. In a slip of the tongue, Haig noted that he had been reading the Soviet official's "bibliography" and learned that Gromyko had begun his diplomatic career in the U.S. in 1943 as Soviet Ambassador to Washington. Gromyko, 72, corrected the record by observing that he first came to the U.S. in 1939 as a counselor in Moscow...
...office, Reagan is much less dependent on the press than he used to be when campaigning (then, he often drew his facts from newspaper snippets, and found his U.N. Ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, by admiring a magazine article she wrote). Now Reagan seems to get ideas mostly when they are brought to him as problems. That leaves little place for intellectual gurus. Columnist George F. Will, who might have aspired to play such a role, now plays candid friend on the outside. This requires some gymnastic stretches-insisting that he still deplores Reagan's campaign promise to give a woman...
Haig was making major foreign policy statements of his own last week. At a United Nations conference on Cambodia he attended with U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, he attacked the Soviet Union and its "puppet regimes" in Southeast Asia. He also gave a speech designed to reassure NATO allies that the U.S. is seriously committed to resuming talks with the Soviets, before the end of the year, on limiting medium-range nuclear weapons in Europe. Said Haig: "The charge that we are not interested in arms control or that we have cut off communications with the Soviets is simply not true...
...might blunder the nation into war, Reagan had lacked strong support among women in last year's campaign. Moreover, his Administration's record of appointing women to office is very poor: only one highly visible Cabinet-level post (Ambassador to the United Nations Jeane Kirkpatrick); only 45 women among the 450 highest positions...
