...that he established, with Nixon's encouragement, to bypass the regular bureaucracies. One such channel was set up in Paris to deal secretly with North Vietnamese negotiators. Initially he dealt with Xuan Thuy, Hanoi's chief negotiator at the official plenary peace talks on Avenue Kleber. On one occasion, Xuan Thuy argued that hundreds of thousands of North Vietnamese troops were in South Viet Nam through the "free choice" of the local population. Kissinger found this so absurd that, he writes, "I jokingly invited him to Harvard to teach a seminar on Marxism and Leninism after...
...they are right next to the notorious "combat zone," where neon signs for porno joints light up more often than the theater marquees. Although the venerable Boston Symphony Orchestra continues to flourish, it is the city's only established performing arts institution. Even the major touring companies bypass Boston: world-famous dance troupes like the Bolshoi, Stuttgart and American Ballet Theater no longer visit because Hynes Auditorium, the only large facility, has the acoustics of a cow barn.

...Coronary bypass surgery was introduced in 1967 to combat coronary-artery disease, the nation's No. 1 killer. The disease is characterized by narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, leading to severe chest pains known as angina pectoris, or to heart attack and sudden death. In the operation doctors graft portions of a leg vein around the clogged part of the artery, thus creating a detour or bypass for the blood. Last year more than 80,000 such operations were performed. The average cost: $10,000 to $15,000. Despite its growing...
