Time editors missed her 1975 achievement as Anne Armstrong becomes ambassador to Britain, a move linked to influence and donations from prominent figures. The piece argues Armstrong earned the post for merit, citing her intelligence and Nixon era role, while contrasting with critics who see patronage in other diplomatic appointments and a consumer affairs post for Joan Braden as window dressing.
