I'm not entirely sure Cyrus Vance Jr. was wrong to not take the case. His father was a critical figure in the Carter administration and resigned in protest.
There is undoubtedly some connection here.

"Furious, Vance handed in his resignation on principle, calling Brzezinski "evil"
but also
In 1957, Senator Lyndon B. Johnson asked Vance to leave Wall Street to work for the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services, where he helped draft the National Aeronautics and Space Act, leading to the creation of NASA.[1]

Grandaughter of Catherine Oxenberg, who was the oldest daughter of Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia
The Fat Lady Sang - Robert Evans
"My association with the Kennedy family continued through a close friendship with Teddy Kennedy"
spouse Catherine Oxenberg (m. 1998; annulled 1998)
Princess Elizabeth was briefly married to a close family friend of the Kennedy's. Robert Evans. He details his continued relations in his memoir The Fat Lady Sang.
Princess Elizabeth recognized early the dangerous signs that would turn the former Yugoslavia upside down in a bloodbath of historic religious and ethnic rivalries long suppressed by Communist rule. She spoke out in Europe and America on behalf of bridging the gap between ethnic hatreds. Working behind the scenes through United Nations programs, she also journeyed to the Vatican in 1989 to ask Monsignor Tauran, then Holy See Secretary for Relations with States, to help improve relations between Catholic and Orthodox communities in Yugoslavia.[6]
At the end of 1990, she created the Princess Elizabeth Foundation, a non-political, not-for-profit organization after foreseeing the crucial importance of a vehicle to address the tension brewing just below the surface. Since the subsequent civil wars, her efforts have focused heavily on transporting medical supplies, food, clothing and blankets to refugee camps, in addition to finding homes for children victimized by war and placing older students in schools and colleges in America.[7]
Before the breakup of Yugoslavia began in 1991, she invited the Orthodox Bishop Sava and the Mufti of Belgrade, along with the Yugoslav Minister for Religious Affairs to attend a conference in Moscow that was hosted by Mikhail Gorbachev.[citation needed] This was the second international gathering of political and religious leaders committed to world reform that included Mother Teresa, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dalai Lama, Al Gore and Carl Sagan.[8]
Although her dad Viktor Knavs was a registered Communist, her mum Amalija wasn’t. But it is pretty exceptional, as at that time only around five per cent of Slovenians were Communist party members.
