...ending British rule in the North. In January 1994, Adams applied again. He still refused to rule out violence, but, hoping that he would, and over the protests of the State Department, Clinton granted the visa, siding with his National Security Council advisers, among them Anglo-Irish specialist Nancy Soderberg, a longtime staff member of Senator Edward Kennedy's. Clinton had appointed Kennedy's sister, Jean Kennedy Smith, ambassador to Ireland...
...band Iron Butterfly; and Dan Murphy, a retired admiral who had held top jobs in the CIA and the Bush vice presidency. Grobmyer's plan was heard far and wide: it reached Clinton twice by letter, and it landed in offices as high as Deputy National Security Adviser Nancy Soderberg's. In fact, it so consumed White House aides that the relentless Grobmyer was dubbed the "pitchman" by an insider. But for all the boasting he did about his presidential connection, Grobmyer came away without the environmental waivers he needed to deposit the radioactive waste in Palmyra atoll...
Heslin alerted the NSC to the lobbying by Fowler, and council deputy director Nancy Soderberg called Fowler and told him, in essence, to lay off.

There are no complaints on either side about the one-way dialogue. "There's no reason why he should be in on day-to-day decisions," says another Clinton adviser. "So long as he can understand what the implications are for his own Administration, he has what he needs...
Working mostly by phone and fax with Berger and three other foreign policy analysts -- Michael Mandelbaum, Nancy Soderberg and Leon Fuerth -- Lake limited his traveling to Thursday through Monday so he could continue teaching. Clinton gave speeches stressing mainstream foreign policy themes: promoting democracy, a strong but revamped defense and the need for creative thinking on global problems like the environment. He counterpunched on Iraqgate and Irangate. On a few carefully chosen issues like aid to Russia, the need to help Somalia, and punishing Serbia for "ethnic cleansing" in Bosnia, the Democrat took positions slightly forward of Bush...
