March 21 - Administration officials hit the phones before George
Bush's choice of John Bolton as United Nations ambassador was
announced earlier this month. Secretary of State Condi Rice phoned U.N.
Secretary General Kofi Annan; the White House phoned foreign leaders.
Heads-up on these occasions is standard etiquette; but the callers'
message this time was part reassurance, part veiled threat: Bolton's
naming showed that Bush is serious about the United Nations-but
equally determined to see it reform.
