KISSINGER, HENRY 1923-
National security adviser, 1969-1975; secretary of state, 1973-1976
A Flamboyant Figure
Widely acknowledged as the most influential foreign-policy figure in the 1970s, Henry Kissinger's career in diplomacy was marked by surprising initiatives, sudden announcements, and secret negotiations. His high visibility made him a celebrity; before he married Nancy Maginnes in 1974 he had a reputation as a playboy, followed by both the press and the paparazzi. His flamboyance often led to tensions between him and the two presidents he served, but his presence provided vital continuity between the Nixon and Ford administrations.
