Subdeacon Joe Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Kissinger. I've never been sure just what I think of him. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/henry-kissinger-american-diplomat-nobel-winner-dead-100-2023-11-30/ Nov 29 (Reuters) - Henry Kissinger, the dominant U.S. diplomat of the Cold War era who helped Washington open up to China, forge arms control deals with the Soviet Union and end the Vietnam War but who was reviled by critics over human rights, has died at the age of 100. Kissinger, a German-born Jewish refugee whose career took him from academia to diplomacy and who remained an active voice in foreign policy into his later years, died at his home in Connecticut on Wednesday, his geopolitical consulting firm, Kissinger Associates Inc., said.

Trailrider #896 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 A friend of my father's grew up in the same town as "Heinz", but, unlike Kissenger, learned English with no accent. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
