Ford's office is inundated by requests for appearances anywhere and everywhere. Congressmen plead and threaten for audiences. And in the mail the other day came a dispatch from Oriana Fallaci, the Italian journalist who has performed verbal lobotomies on many of the world's great men, the newswoman who warmly coaxed Henry Kissinger into describing himself as a kind of diplomatic Lone Ranger. Oriana Fallaci has found a place in her crowded schedule to request an interview with Jerry Ford...
...diplomacy is in ruins." An aide to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee accused Kissinger of fishing for sympathetic support: "He's playing the aggrieved party again, moping around, looking hurt and betrayed and talking about Greek tragedy." Recalling Kissinger's description of himself to Italian Journalist Oriana Fallaci, the aide added, "So the cowboy in the white hat and on the white horse has become the Greek tragic hero cursed by the gods...
...publicized dates with such Hollywood lovelies as Mario Thomas and Samantha Eggar to establish Kissinger as a "secret swinger." When Kissinger's role is less engaging, newsmen tend to look the other way.

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...
