...done in the Israeli-Egyptian negotiations, Kissinger first tried to map out a disengagement line. The initial Syrian proposals, which called for the immediate return of all the territory captured by Israel since 1967, were quickly dismissed as unrealistic.

His office at 641 Huntington Ave. is clearly a temporary measure, dominated not by a massive oaken desk, but by a few filing cabinets and bulletin boards. There is another map of Africa, perforated by colored push-pins, and an exhortation, carefully written in magic marker on lined yellow paper, to remember that "I" is the least important word and "we" is the most. His inspirational message is obscured when the office door is open. Karefa-Smart maintains a more substantial address...
