Her kohl-rimmed eyes gleaming, Nadia undulated over to the tables where the VIPS were sitting. Then, while Iranian plainclothesmen efficiently stymied the photographers, she nestled herself on Kissinger's lap for three minutes or so. "A delightful girl," said Henry the K later, "very interested in foreign policy." What had they talked about?
