One little complaint with the essay in the NYT is the claim D. P. Moynihan was a neocon. Moynihan perceived much more complexity than neocons seem comfortable recognizing. I believe Moynihan voted against authorizing the 1991 war with Sadaam over Kuwait. DPM was rare: a firm-minded Democrat and a politician with scholarly legitmacy.
RESPONSE
Finding no Republican to hand, the Institute Of Politics provided Dan Moynihan as faculty advisor to the Seminar on the Coevolution of British and American Conservatism I organized as a Harvard undergraduate. He was indeed too astute a politician to subscribe to anything so parochial as ideology.
That is what makes him in retrospect so appealing, and from a Republican perspective, so dangerous an historical figure-- Hillary Clinton is a Senatorial avatar of Dan at his most liberal.
