KISSINGER: Well, first of all, it is incorrect to say that we cut off the credit. Most of the credits that were cut off were cut off as the result of the basic policies of the Allende government. Mr. [Robert] McNamara [head of the World Bank and former U.S. secretary of defense] gave a speech or a press statement last summer in which he explained that the World Bank does not extend credit if there is an expropriation without compensation, if the economic policies of the country do not make it a good credit risk, and a third reason which...
...have it all their own way. They suffered the most embarrassing loss of the conflict: the sinking of the 3,500-ton Turkish destroyer Kocatepe by a Turkish jet. At least 16 sailors were killed. The accident happened when the Turkish navy provided the air force with incorrect map coordinates of the area in which it would be steaming.

The rejection was hard enough to accept, but then the department decided to make an example of his case, and denied him credit for his tutorial. Without the credit...
...reviews of my books. But after coming across the one by Martha Duffy on my novel The Eye of the Storm [Jan. 14], in which she refers to me as "living in Sydney with several dogs and a male housekeeper," I feel I must draw your attention to an incorrect, and I should have thought gratuitous, biographical detail. The distinguished and universally respected man who has given me his friendship and moral support over a period of 34 years has never been a housekeeper. I am that, and shall continue playing the role at least till I am paralyzed...
