Dr Dorothy Fosdick was aide to Senator Henry M. Jackson.[1]

She was the daughter of Harry Emerson Fosdick, a pacificist preacher for whom John D. Rockefeller had built the Riverside Church in New York. However, she rejected her father's views in favour of the liberal realism of his rival, Reinhold Niebuhr.[2]
