When one is accused of homosexual practices by a belligerent member of the opposite sex, one's spouse is likely to consider those fighting words. And Nancy Kissinger, 48, did. Last winter when she was accompanying her husband to Boston, where he was to undergo heart-bypass surgery, a pro-nuclear energy activist named Ellen Kaplan accosted the couple at Newark International Airport, baiting Henry Kissinger with the question, "Do you sleep with young boys at the Carlyle Hotel?"

Haig's operation, from which he recovered quickly, should not affect his health adversely. According to Dr. W. Gerald Austen, chief of surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, who performed a similar operation on Kissinger, "Patients who have successful coronary bypass surgery have very good blood flow restored to the heart. It is not surprising that those patients can do anything that any other healthy person...
