The New York Times > Washington > Delay Is Sought in Vote on U.N. Nominee: "'Under Secretary Bolton was never the formidable power that people are insinuating he was in terms of foreign policy, or blocking the policies that Secretary Powell wished to pursue,' Lawrence Wilkerson, who served as Mr. Powell's chief of staff, said in a telephone interview.
