TECHNICALLY, Daniel Patrick Moynihan still is a Harvard Professor. But he has spent about half of his ten years here on sabbatical, leaving his tenured seat in limbo for well-publicized stints in the Nixon White House and ambassadorial posts in India and the United Nations. Although the University is hardly averse to globe-trotting faculty (Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger '50 did not lose his Government Department seat until spring 1973, four years after he had joined the Nixon administration), Moynihan's insatiable penchant for applied government exhausted even Harvard's patience...
...While Moynihan held onto his professorship by abandoning the U.N. in mid-winter, he's risking it again with his race for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat now held by James L. Buckley (R.-N.Y.). In fact, Moynihan will very likely be out one tenured chair in mid-September when the Empire State's liberal Democrats will split their primary votes among Rep. Bella S. Abzug, former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark and New York City Council president Paul O'Dwyer...
...already owned nearly 30 honorary degrees, but for Daniel Patrick Moynihan, 49, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, the offer of another -an honorary doctorate from the Hebrew University in Israel-was too good to resist. Moynihan, whose anti-Arab stand in the U.N. won the hearts of Israel, is now seeking the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in New York and needs the Jewish vote. So there he was campaigning, in a sense, 6,000 miles from his constituency. One problem: the Israeli leaders he met seemed distracted. "My mind was somewhere else," confessed Defense Minister Shimon Peres after...
...national defense, where clowns like Admiral Elmo Zumwalt have way too much influence with him. A $5.7 billion defense cut isn't much, especially compared to what McGovern people were talking about four years ago. But the faction embracing Sen. Henry Jackson is still in the party, as Moynihan's apparently popular candidacy attests, and the uneasy coalition of social forces that the Democrats represents will remain in tension at least through November...
...article, Managing Editor Richard Holbrooke notes that two strikingly different groups have converged to create a downbeat appraisal of the U.S.: the "guilt-ridden," Viet Nam-haunted American Left, and a number of "neoconservatives" including Henry Kissinger, former U.N. Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan and ex-Defense Secretary James Schlesinger. It was an odd linkage for the members of this trio, who strongly disagree on some policies and would certainly deny being downbeat on America. At any rate, says Holbrooke, the U.S. is not in bad shape-it still leads the world in gross national product, food production and military strength...
