...have had an antagonistic relationship that dates back to the early days of the Ford Administration and has sometimes been displayed in public. One day in September 1974, Kissinger emerged from the Oval Office and facetiously asked Rumsfeld, then U.S. Ambassador to NATO, "Would you like to kiss my ring?" Two months later, both were in Peking with Ford. As they headed for the limousines one morning, Kissinger asked Rumsfeld, "Would you like to go sightseeing with Nancy or come to the talks with me?" Rumsfeld winced noticeably and replied, "I'll come with...

It is a street fight, two sleek men clutching bills and taking bets, two bare-chested bruisers facing each other, brown ill-fitting suits and anxious Depression faces crowded around the bare floor that serves as a ring. The bets are in, the bruisers battle: it's no holds barred-kicking, hair-pulling, and annihilating past the point of all reason; just don't kick a man when he's down. Bronson watches from a distance and there is no sign, no glimmer of what he thinks...
