Dear Henry:

Many times I have thought of you during the years
since we have seen each other. Do you remember that fascinating
lunch we had with John Courtney Murray? I have admired you
greatly and have thanked God many times that you are where
you are.

We are both members of the Harvard College Class
of 1950, and as you know, we have our reunion in June.
Although I am sure that you will be called upon to do great
things at the reunion itself, I am writing to ask if you
would meet with a group of our classmates at a pre-reunion
gathering to be held here at Harvard on Saturday October 19.
The group will be assembling here on Friday night, and then
we hoped that you could talk with them on Saturday morning,
the longer the better. We expect about 100 men and their
wives, but if you were able to come, the number would
undoubtedly increase.

I am reluctant to add this invitation to your
heavy burden, but I know that you will understand.

All the best in all your good works.

Dear Mr. Kissinger;

The USSR Ambassador to France and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade visited my office in Paris last week. We have a major design programme head of us and perhaps, you might like to know about it.

Whenever you have a free moment while in Paris, my wife and I would be happy to have you dine with us and some of our young chic Parisien friends.

Dear Secretary Kissinger:

You and Mrs. Kissinger were so kind to
invite Mrs. Logan and me to that ex-
citing luncheon for Their Majesties.

Glamorous as it was, for me the out-
standing moment was when you remembered
at the receiving line that I had lectured
to your Harvard students back in the
early Fifties.

I remember it well, not only your intro-
duction of me in which you gave me
extra-curricular credit, but particularly
after I had explained to your students
how hard we had worked to make WISH YOU
WERE HERE, my most recent hit (at that
time) into a play that would please
the public, and how excited we were to
turn a complete failure into a financial
success.

I remember that one of your students,
a young man with a strong German accent,
asked me a startling question. He said,
"But Mr. Logan, why do you have to please
the public? A true artist wishes only to
please himself."

I was suffused with rage and spoke back
sharply, "That's masturbation! I'm
interested in another form of sex and
another form of theatre."

It has occurred to me in later years
that that young man might possibly be
the current critic of New York Magazine,
John Simon. If that is true, no wonder
we have such a difficult time pleasing
him.

Meanwhile, thank you and Mrs. Kissinger
again, and my heartiest good wishes to
you in your efforts to help our country.
You are certainly a hero with all the
people I know.

Dear Mr. Secretary,

assuming that in the meantime you have received
Rudolf Augstein's letter dated November 4, 1976, I take
the liberty of drawing your attention to his recent
column "Good-bye, Kiss" in the current issue of DER SPIEGEL, a copy of which is enclosed (page 129).

If I can be of any service in forwarding your -
hopefully favorable - reply to Rudolf Augstein, please
let me know.

of themselves as Romeos, but
Heinz definitely was not one
of them. Anyway, he was too
skinny."

Kissinger's frail build failed
him when it came to sports,
too.

"Henry was as enthusiastic
about soccer as anybody,"
said schoolmate Henry Gitter-
man, who also lives in Tea-
neck, N.J.

"He thought he was good —
but to be honest, he was not
the athletic type."

The first signs of the show-
manship that were later to be
such a part of his political per-
sonality came during dramatic
programs staged by the Jewish

Pesky Mosquito Can Be Useful

We may curse the mosquito,
but it's more valuable than
you think.

If it weren't for the mos-
quito, some of the nation's
most beautiful wild flowers
would vanish, claims Univer-
sity of Utah scientist Dr.
Lewis Nielsen. "As the mos-
quito flies from flower to flow-
er it pollinates the blossoms
and enables the flowers to re-

produce. There are several
species of wildflower — tiny
flowers like forget-me-nots —
that may depend exclusively
on the mosquito for pollination.

"The mosquito occupies a
very important place in the
natural food chain," said Dr.
Nielsen, professor of entomol-
ogy. "Birds, bats, dragonflies,
spiders and fish depend on the
mosquito as a food source."

youth club, where Kissinger
had many leading roles.

"Even at 13 or 14, Heinz was
a more skillful debater and
writer than boys who were a
lot older," said club leader
Leo Hexter, who now lives in
Washington Heights, N.Y.

But schooldays in Fuerth
were soon overshadowed by
the growing terror of Nazism.

"Gangs of Nazis and Hitler
Youth picked on us," remem-
bered Miss Rosenkranz. "The
Germans grabbed our school
cases and scattered our books
all over the streets. Then
they'd beat us up. Heinz went

home more than once with a
black eye."

But Kissinger would rather
stand and negotiate than fight,
said his friend Paul Stiefel,
who now lives in Chicago:

"I always felt he tried to
avoid controversy. He was a
studious boy — he preferred to
talk his way out of a corner
rather than go bullheaded and
be aggressive."

To this day, Kissinger claims
that his experiences with the
Nazis did not influence him ...
a contention his friends do not
believe.

Shortly after Kissinger's 15th
birthday, in 1938, the family
fled to America. And it was
then that the boy began to
show the real authority that
was to mark his later life.

He and another immigrant,
his old classmate John Sachs,
joined the Beth Hillel youth
group. "We were in the debat-
ing society and Henry was
really a star," recalled Sachs.
"He always gave better argu-
ments on politics than any-
body. That was the first time
he showed signs of leadership
and determination.

"Even at that age he began
to give the appearance of being
arrogant. I am sure he does
feel that he is superior."

That trait emerged even
more strongly during Kissin-
ger's military career.

Jerry Bechhofer met him
again in 1945 while they were
both serving with the U.S.
Army in Germany. "Henry —
at age 22 and only a private —
had become the military gov-
ernor of Bensheim," said Bech-
hofer. "He had complete con-
trol. That was when the real
Henry Kissinger emerged."

But, like many old friends,
Bechhofer feels that Kissinger
has turned his back on his
past. "To many of his old asso-
ciates, it seems as if it is be-
low his dignity to remember
his Jewish background," Bech-
hofer said.

Dear Mr. Loomis:

I would be very pleased if you could join me for
lunch at the Department of State on Friday, November
15, at 1:00 p.m. I would also be glad to have your
principal officer responsible for public affairs pro-
gramming matters join us.

On this occasion, I hope to obtain your views and
those of other national network executives as to the
adequacy of the domestic public dialogue on the issues
we face in an increasingly interdependent world, and
whether and how that national discussion might be
broadened.

I hope you will be able to be with us, and look
forward to seeing you then.

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I would like to take this opportunity to bring to your attention a young lady on your staff who has been most courteous and helpful when I have found it necessary to contact the State Department in behalf of my constituents.

During the past year, I have repeatedly called upon Miss Jane Rothe for assistance when I have been unable to obtain cooperation from the State Department Congressional Relations Office. The Congressional Relations Office in the Department of State repeatedly has referred my office to various sources to obtain the desired information, and after exhausting the list of telephone numbers and sources given and not obtaining results, I have called upon Miss Rothe. I would like to point out that on many occasions my requests have been for basic simple information.

At any rate, the purpose of this letter, is to advise you of the outstanding qualities of Miss Rothe. I have found her to be courteous, prompt, and eager to render every possible service. I feel that she is an intelligent and gracious young lady. The Department of State is indeed fortunate to have a person of her caliber in the Secretary's Office.

With best wishes, I am
