RIP.

A very accomplished individual.

Feel obligated to say I have mixed feelings about his record, but such is hindsight.

What book are you quoting?

I know enough about Nixon to appreciate what he did. I never understood why he chose Henry Kissinger.

I can recall one thing he repeated ad nauseum: “Peace is at hand”

"Rosalynn Carter, Charlie Munger, and now Kissinger.
What the hell is going on? The jab?"

Rosalyn Carter: 96 years old.
Charlie Munger: 99 years old.
Henry Kissinger: 100 years old.

It's due to advanced old age.

Loved him, hated him, or as often is the case with truly great men: both, Henry has had something interesting to say about virtually everything in world affairs for more than 75 years. A remarkable run. Came out with his last book after age 100. And came within 6 months of reaching his golden anniversary with 2nd wife Nancy, 11 years his junior. Not bad for a real refugee whose family arrived here with nothing but their lives. Most of his family stayed in Germany and were slaughtered by Hitler. A young Henry went back by the end of the war, as an army translator and intelligence operator tracking down Gestopo, and earning a Bronze Star. And left us an inspired movie parody of him by Peter Sellers in Doctor Strangelove. Immigrants like him we want.

Treason by Ann Coulter, best political book ever. Nixon deserves everlasting credit for naling Hiss, but his Presidency was VERY Liberal.

One thing I’ve never understood about Kissinger is how he never got rid of, or at least moderated his accent.

Ann Coulter has become nutty.

At first I liked her boldness, but she no longer fits the conservative pattern. (assuming anyone cares)

Wow that’s funny, I was talking about him with my brother over the summer saying many people die when they hit 100 as if they die on purpose, and here you go.

I won’t be attending Kissinger’s funeral but I will send a nice letter stating that I approve of it.

Nixon was lynched by the media, I learned to hate the media then.

I was a dumb kid back then, I cheered when the media lynched him. It took me several more years to learn to hate the media.
