Bootz - Assuming your care...

Stevenson was UN Ambassador under Kennedy and during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was never hung out to dry, at least as I would use the phrase, but became an increasingly marginal figure, mainly because be chose to take a position during the Cuban missile crisis that was accomodationalist to an extent that it couldn't and wouldn't be considered by Kenndey and his circle. He was hurt when his posiiton was leaked to the press by Assistant Secretary of State Roger Hillsman with the words "Adlai wanted a Munich."

UN Ambassador during the Powers/U2 caper was Henry Cabot Lodge. He was a player and never in that position that I can remember.

Master of the art of hanging people out to dry was of course Henry Kissinger when he was National Security Advisor. He had his own exclusive channels to the President and key people on the hill, and lesser players like the Secretaries of State and Defense didn't know what was going on unless and until they read it in the papers.
