...that women, when they are in power, are much harsher than men ... You're schemers, you're evil. Every one of you." The misogynist? Iran's Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, 54, in an interview with idol-smashing Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci published in the New Republic. Fallaci, whose belt already holds the scalps of Henry Kissinger, Willy Brandt and Nguyen Van Thieu, scored again with the revelation that the Shah is not, after all, a ladies' man. What prompted His Sublime Highness's anger, however, was something quite simple. Fallaci had asked...
Henry Kissinger was terribly embarrassed when Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci quoted him describing himself as a character out of Zane Grey. He did not deny that he had said those words-"Why I agreed to it [the interview], I'll never know," he confessed later-but it was a little hard to imagine just how the precise, bespectacled professor of history at Harvard could see himself as a lean, flinty-eyed macho on horseback. Still, in a way Kissinger's self-portrait was not so preposterous as it sounded. Proud, private and consummately confident of his ability, Kissinger...
...Women are more stubborn than men. That's why they make good reporters." Oriana Fallaci, the tiny (5 ft. 1 in.)

Henry Kissinger didn't talk as much because he's slightly taller than...
...relationship between the two has occasionally been strained, however, most notably by a recent two-hour interview that Kissinger foolishly granted to Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci. The quotes in that performance were so startling and hubristic that some readers familiar with Kissinger's intellectual style suspected Fallaci of embroidery. "President Nixon showed great vigor, a great ability, even in picking me," Kissinger is quoted as saying, apparently in all seriousness; of course he was quite right, but perhaps he should not have been the one to say it. In an interview that fairly bristles with the first person singular pronoun...
Prior to the Simla summit, Bhutto had described Mrs. Gandhi (in an interview with Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci) as "a mediocre woman of mediocre intelligence." Returning home from the meeting to Islamabad, he praised Mrs. Gandhi as "an extremely reasonable leader who looks to the future" and described the agreement as "not my victory and not a victory for India. [It is a] victory for sanity, principles and justice. Nobody has won and none has lost," he added...
