...information about the Paris peace talks, then being conducted by the Johnson Administration. At the same time, Hersh claims, Kissinger was also offering to turn over damaging files on Nixon that had been compiled by the Rockefeller campaign staff, for whom Kissinger had worked, to Zbigniew Brzezinski, then Hubert Humphrey's foreign policy coordinator. Kissinger has written in his memoirs that he was approached by both campaigns for advice. But Hersh, quoting some former Nixon campaign officials, paints Kissinger as a double-dealing job seeker. Last week Kissinger angrily denied these specific charges as "a slimy lie." He said...
...quitter. He never seemed to stand a chance, but always continued the fight, often with success one could never have imagined. It seems fitting that, as one tribute notes, one of his favorite, film moments was a scene from The African Queen in which Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart emerge from an unnavigable jungle river.

More important, she imbibed at college the heady spirit of '60s idealism, reading Thoreau, watching Martin Luther King Jr. and raEying for civil rights...
...face. What he seems to have forgotten about 1976, however, is that Jimmy Carter, because of Watergate, could easily run on the morality issue, and that other prominent Democrats were not in the race--Wallace was perceived as too infirm, and the nation learned of the tragedy of Hubert Humphrey's cancer in his decision not to run. Sen. Bumpers has started to organize too late (yes, March 1983 is probably too late). Straus is an interesting and potentially attractive candidate--a Southerner and a prominent conservative within the party--but he would also be the first Jewish American...
