...McKay's finest hour was sports' darkest, when 11 Israeli athletes perished in a terrorist attack at the 1972 Munich Olympics. As he reported the story over 16 uncertain hours, McKay was calm, capable and compassionate--and thinking of the parents of Israeli weight-lifter David Berger, an American who had immigrated to Israel.

His friend Sandy Berger (who would later replace Lake) fought to get Holbrooke appointed ambassador to Germany...
...like Bill Clinton circa 1993, when he entered the White House not long after the fall of the Soviet Union and with Lake as his top foreign policy adviser. Hillary Clinton's political emphasis is reminiscent of her husband's poll-driven final years, when Holbrooke, Albright and Berger ran diplomacy. "The real foreign policy choice," says a former Clinton State Department official, "may be between Clinton Term One and Clinton Term...
