...curious that Henry Kissinger, the futurist who demands that the U.S. look far ahead before deciding what to do tomorrow morning, should be so much at home in the 19th century. However, states and statesmen were more predictable during that period, and the margin for error was a little greater. He is not alone in arguing that the U.S. could benefit from reading?and understanding?history.

...many foreign statesmen greeted Nixon's election with equanimity and even pleasure, it was partly because of familiarity. In his eight years as Vice President and five years as a paripatetic counsel for Pepsi-Cola, Nixon had met with virtually every world leader and with hundreds of the most prominent politicians from Paris to Pnompenh. The Shah of Iran sent a congratulatory cable citing "our long relationship of cordial amity." Even Gamal Abdel Nasser of the U.A.R., which has broken diplomatic ties with the U.S., expressed good wishes...
