...Rockwell International, who expanded the firm into an aerospace giant that built space shuttles and the much maligned, hugely expensive B-1 long-range bomber; in Los Angeles. Known for his bluntness--"A bomber is a baby killer; people don't like bombers," he once said--Anderson successfully lobbied Ronald Reagan's aides to resurrect the controversial B-1, which could carry nuclear weapons and had little risk of radar detection, after it had been abandoned during the Carter Administration.

Haass worked for Ronald Reagan, for Bush's father and, as the policy planning boss at State under Colin Powell during Bush's first term. By virtue of his post at CFR, he is as close as you can come these days to the voice of the U.S. foreign policy establishment...
