Jeane J Kirkpatrick
I knew Ambassador Jeane J Kirkpatrick since 1972 when she was member of the of the original Board of Directors of the Coalition for a Democratic Majority, a "ginger group" formed to get the Democratic Party away from it leftward tropism, then called "McGovernism."
A few years later we arrived at the American Enterprise Institute at about the same time.
She was an American Original.
She had three sons as a relatively young woman and was, accordingly, able to a pursue her remarkably productive career in her chosen field of political science --- decidedly not of the ivory tower variety --- for many decades.
She was fluent in a number of languages.
She was highly cultured woman.
She was great cook.
She lived a full life.
R.I.P.
