Publication of the report outraged the Administration and Kissinger. He is censured by the report for having "a passion for secrecy" and issuing statements "at variance with facts." Already depressed and testy, Kissinger was at the outer limits of his self-control when asked at a press conference about the House committee's charges. He exploded, accusing the committee of misusing classified information "in a tendentious, misleading and totally irresponsible fashion [that] has already done damage to the foreign policy of the U.S." Kissinger charged the committee with practicing "a new version of McCarthyism" and called its report...

You could, if you wanted to stretch things, see Barry's final act in the final duel as confirming his inner status as a gentleman while insuring that he loses the outer status. But how seriously are we supposed to take these duels? We can hardly be expected to take them in the spirit of picaresque amorality when they are the ordering principle of the whole plot, and we can hardly be expected to consider them dead-pan seriously in the Douglas...
