A bit of a shameless plug, but I don't think I've put this down on "paper" in Alternate Cabinets yet. Also it has the advantage of getting into some of the weeds because there's
such fun to be had at the intra-departmental level too. The initial Cabinetry for my TL in progress
McGoverning, no spoilery changes over time here but the picture as of early 1973. For anyone interested.

[1] Frank's wearing two hats in consequence of his central role with the administration's brains trust
[2] Though he doesn't have a formal title just yet, the senior administration bosses are maneuvering to give Clark Clifford a special ambassadorship that would in effect make him "arms control czar" for the administration, even though the subject-matter post at ACDA belongs to the retired liberal-Republican, anti-Vietnam senator from Kentucky John Sherman Cooper
[3] Returns for a hat trick
[4] Moynihan and John Kenneth Galbraith were close personal friends (JKG was actually close friends with several people whom he disagreed with even more sharply on policy, most famously William F. Buckley, and here despite Moynihan's association with Nixon they find a job for DPM even if it's a hardship post)
[5] Have I mentioned that this is pretty much the most Indophilic US administration in American history, even compared to JFK's?
[6] The McGovern administration beats OTL's Carter administration to the punch and sets up the subject-matter Undersecretaries at DoD
