The last “man to see” has seen his last day.
In a long line of Washington wise men – from Harry Hopkins to Edward Bennett Williams to Clark Clifford, all with the ear of presidents and the political grease to make things happen – there was no wise man quite like Vernon Jordan, the civil-rights leader who died Monday.
For those seeking fame and favours, counsel and consolation, Mr. Jordan was the man to see in America’s capital. He was flamboyant. He was boisterous. He survived an assassination attempt – and managed to wear a matching Halston robe and pajamas in the hospital. He was a giant in corporate boardrooms where often all the others around the table were white.

Vernon Jordan never held elective office, was never a member of the Cabinet and never even worked for the federal government. He was a lawyer who rarely appeared in court, a corporate kingmaker who was not a registered lobbyist, a political strategist who did not direct a campaign.
Yet Jordan was, for years, one of the most influential figures in Washington. With a commanding presence, personal charm and an inviolable sense of discretion, Jordan had a rare combination of talents that made him the confidant of presidents, congressional leaders, business executives and civil rights figures.
