...long as Chou remained alive, even gravely ill on a hospital bed, the policies pursued by Teng Hsiao-ping bore the stamp of the Premier's authority. For many world statesmen?notably including Henry Kissinger???Chou personified what they would like China to be: reasonable, flexible, nonaggressive (see obituary, page 30). With the Premier's death, China lost half of the remarkable team that symbolized the People's Republic both to its own people and to those outside. Now only Mao remains, mentally alert at 82 but frail, slack-jawed and slurred of speech...
...speech with Ford until 1:30 a.m. on the day it was delivered. Until then, the President had not even decided whether he would ask for any further military aid for South Viet Nam. Ford finally produced a speech that sounded as though it had been written by Kissinger???and probably was. For it is Kissinger who has been most pessimistic about the consequences for America's position in the world if South Viet Nam fell ignominiously. And Kissinger's reputation and achievement in the Paris accords is in jeopardy in Indochina...
Among columnists, Old-Line Liberal Marquis Childs joined Conservatives James Kilpatrick and Joseph Alsop in the antipress chorus on the Kissinger incident. Alsop gloomed that the treatment of Kissinger???a product of the "enormous, Watergate-induced self-importance of the American press"?might further decrease the value of the dollar and put U.S. foreign policy "on the dung heap of disorder." Well, hardly. But the press?especially Washington newsmen?had indeed given the unfortunate impression of ganging up on the only hero in town...

He kept all of his top-level security clearances and remained active as a Government consultant. Ellsberg worked with Henry Kissinger???his former teacher?to smooth the transition from the Johnson to the Nixon Administration, and has said that he drew up the options for a Nixon Viet Nam policy. According to Ellsberg, Kissinger adopted all of his proposals almost verbatim except one: a fixed withdrawal date...
Nixon was pursuing not so much a "Southern strategy" as a Middle American strategy. The South is only one part of the Middle America that Nixon has installed in Washington. His Administration?with such exceptions as Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Henry Kissinger???is like the reunion photograph of a Depression class that rose to the top by Horatio Alger virtues. Interior Secretary Walter Hickel arrived in Alaska at the age of 20, with 37¢ in his pocket. George Romney, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, is the son of a Mormon who was driven out of Mexico by Pancho...
