But not until the Watergate disclosures came gushing forth in 1973 did he learn that for 21 months...
...effort to salvage the deadlocked Rhodesian talks, to dine with Prime Minister Callaghan and attend a soccer match. Then he left for Washington, to sort out his plans for the future. There will be a "decent interval" of a year for work on his memoirs. And what then? When newsmen teased him, Henry Kissinger replied-some would say with a Mona Lisa smile-"I'll be back...
