...Minneapolis the next day, Kissinger gave a foreign policy briefing to local notables, met the press and made a speech that was interrupted four times by a heckler. The Secretary paused and commented patiently, "I think I have some of my Harvard students here," and from then on owned the appreciative audience. His charm worked equally well on six-year-old Beth Wilder. When she held up her autograph book to him, Kissinger, spoofing his own legendary ego, asked hopefully, "Am I the first?"-and effectively mimed disappointment when she said...
...district, Edward P. Boland (D.) in the 2nd, Robert F. Drinan (D.) in the 4th, Michael J. Harrington '58 (D.) in the 6th, Torbert H. MacDonald '40 in the 7th, Thomas P.

The airlines are almost as crucial as a good housekeeper. "We should own 50% of Northwest Airlines," says Hicks Griffiths, whose wife commutes to Michigan for long weekends. First-Term Congresswoman Yvonne Burke, 41, spends so much time commuting to Los Angeles, where her husband William is a health-care consultant, that daughter Autumn had logged 30,000 miles by the time she was four months...
...image is that of a man who is brilliant, aristocratic and cool; no one has ever accused him of not being sérieux. The audiences at his rallies, considerably younger than those at Chaban's, thoroughly enjoy it when Giscard drops his professorial mien to demolish a heckler with cutting repartee.
