...from the President. Kissinger has long been disturbed by U.S. inattention to Europe, and he was Nixon's key consultant throughout the tour. To the 15 ambassadors from NATO's member nations, Nixon proposed that after 20 years the alliance "must replace the unity of a common fear with the community of a shared purpose." He noted that the U.S. has already begun preliminary planning for a Soviet Summit.

His early years in the Ukraine were spent amid both prosperity and a continual fear of pogroms. At 19, he landed at Jaffa in the aliya, or immigrant wave, of 1914, and hiked across the sandhills to a farming village.
