...they lunched on cold fried chicken; like everything except the plane tickets, the lunch was paid for by the Carter campaign committee, which was apparently making an ostentatious show of frugality. First out of the bus was former Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Warnke, his rumpled seersucker jacket slung over his shoulder and his face flushed in the breezeless, 101° heat. He was followed by two former Deputy Defense Secretaries, Paul Nitze and Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown, Washington Attorneys James Woolsey and Walter Slocombe, Brookings Institution Fellow Barry Blechman and Columbia University Political...
