Buckley soon learned the U.N. folkways: that the Soviet Union's Yakov Malik has "a deeply cultivated propensity for lying"; that the U.N.'s reputation as "the densest collection of oratorical bores in the history of the world" owes most to Saudi Arabia's Jamil Baroody; that racism at the U.N. is what white does to black, never the reverse. He found that the U.S. is excessively concerned about not giving diplomatic offense and that around the U.N., the convention is simply to ignore Soviet infractions against the organization's stated ideals.

The U.S. opposes Malik's demand...

In a shrewd parliamentary maneuver, Malik tried to get certain changes he favored incorporated in a revised text of a report by Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim on the U.N. force. Scali, who thought that he had reached agreement with Malik on the report in a behind-the-scenes huddle, was apoplectic.
