Henry A. Kissinger '50 remembers all too well the New York Times' disclosures in 1967 of foundations that channelled Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) money into "patriotic causes" back in the 1950s. Starting in 1951, when he was still a graduate student at Harvard, Kissinger directed Harvard's Summer International Seminar--a program that brought to Harvard rising stars in foreign policy and political, cultural and literary life from Europe and Asia to school them in American foreign policy and, within certain bounds, to promote "freedom of exchange." Men on the order of Pierre Trudeau and Valerie Giscard D'Estaing...
...claim lies beneath his arrogance. At Harvard, this anxiety displayed itself in his retreating behavior and his distaste for faculty polities. In over-reacting to a critical pamphlet. Kissinger once more allowed his suspicious temperament to take charge of his actions. Landau recognizes this tendency in his writing as well...
...first option is to take the conservatives' traditional approach, building up personal coalitions relying on personality and a few wellknown positions as well as on the backing of the ever-powerful CCA.

In contrast. Michael's real mother--played in fine, shrill-voiced style by Bethany Tanner--is a petty and uncaring termagant, mostly interested in how many of her silk gowns...
Members of the cast each played at least two and as many as six roles which sometimes worked well, depending upon the actor. Jonathan E. Alsop slid versatilely from the pomposity of the Grand Duke to the kind-heartedness of the peasant Lavrenti. And Stephen Kent neatly changed gears from the obsequious Fat Prince to the macho Corporal to the doddering Old Man. However, Daniel Hershman was dismayingly flat, whether as the governor, monk, or Shauwa...
