Henry Kissinger
Receives AEI Award

By Lois Romano
and Donnie Radcliffe

You might have thought he was
still secretary of state.

Last night, Henry Kissinger was
once again the center of attention in
Washington as the recipient of the
5th Annual Francis Boyer Award.
And 1,600 people filed into the
Washington Hilton Ballroom, as
guests of the American Enterprise
Institute, to honor him. Even his old
boss, former president Gerald Ford,
showed up.

Did it strike the former secretary
of state as odd that the ultra-
conservative think tank singled him
out for its prestigious public policy
award?

"Why?" asked Kissinger with typ-
ical stone-faced humor. "Because
they're to the left of me? I wondered
why they waited five years."

But AEI president William J.
Baroody said the selection of Kiss-
inger didn't mean AEI was changing
its stripes.

"AEI doesn't change," said
Baroody. "AEI is passionately ded-
icated to the competition of ideas,

and we look for the most articulate, intelligent spokesman for major points of view."

As recipient of the award, Kissinger last night delivered the Francis Boyer Lecture on Public Policy, which carries with it a stipend of $10,000.

Former Cabinet members, Kissinger aides, many conservatives and hundreds of ghosts of Washington past listened to the lecture and ate filet mignon.

The silk was ample, the perfume heavy and the shirts starched. They talked about the olden days, the budget, the Libyan crisis and Henry Kissinger's weight.

"You're looking younger all the time, and he's looking older," Brent Scowcroft, former national security adviser, joked to his old boss Ford about Kissinger. "We're trying to figure out why Henry's getting so fat."

Kissinger stood there without acknowledging he was being discussed.

"He's eating too much, that's why he's getting fat," said Ford knowing-
ly.

"It's that he's doing so much speaking around the country, and he's eating out all the time," chimed in Kissinger's wife, Nancy.

"Well what should we do about this, Nancy?" said Ford.

Kissinger still watched from the sidelines.

"He promised to lose weight. The doctor wants him to," said Nancy Kissinger. "When he first got to Washington he weighed 155 pounds, and he weighed 214 when he left. That's the truth."

Kissinger disputed nothing.

While his weight seemed a concern to some, the memories mostly flowed funny and fond.

"The funniest thing I remember about Henry is when he came to Washington and held his first press conference," recalled Martin Ander-
son, Reagan's domestic adviser. "All the reporters were fumbling, and finally someone asked whether he wanted to be addressed as professor

or doctor. Henry said, 'I have always preferred His Excellency.'"

"I think he's a man who has gen-
ius, charm and great wit, but now
and then is capable of being a bit
devious," said U.S. Ambassador to
West Germany Arthur Burns. Long
pause. "Maybe you better leave out
devious."

National security adviser Richard V. Allen, on administrative leave from the same job Kissinger first had when he joined the Nixon administration, said, "When I think of Henry I think of a man of great brilliance and force of intellect."

"And I also think of a man who speaks German almost as well as I do," said Allen, grinning. "I've known him for 20 years. We hammered out the Vietnam plank at the 1968 Miami convention and almost got caught behind a palm tree by Daniel Schorr. I passed myself off as Henry's student."

Allen was jovial.

"The mayor of Canton is coming to my house for dinner," said Madison Hotel owner Marshall Coyne. "I'd really like you to come."

"I'll let you know," said Allen, "but
can I first wipe this lipstick off your
cheek."

"No, no, please don't," pleaded Coyne. "It makes me look popular."

By far the most popular person was Kissinger. Former White House social secretary Maria Downs called him a social secretary's "dream." "He was just so much fun," Downs remembered. "Even after he was married, we always had to seat him next to a pretty girl or we'd hear about it later."

The band played, the fine wine flowed and the former secretary of state dominated the show once again.

# Big-Band Jazz at Its Best

By Mike Joyce

When Mike Crotty and the Sunday Morning Jazz Band perform locally they invariably play “Well You Needn’t,” a Thelonious Monk composition. But this is no mere tribute to Monk; it’s a puzzle worthy of Rubik himself. Crotty’s version contains snippets of at least 15 melodies composed by Monk, all transcribed, edited and woven into one ingenious arrangement.

Like the best of Monk's work, Crotty's salute is witty and playful, delightfully unpredictable and likely to haunt the listener long after the last note sounds. Happily, jazz buffs interested in testing their wits no longer have to suffer the indignity of

scribbling their answers on a table napkin by candlelight. "Well You Needn't" is one of six genuinely distinctive arrangements included on the Sunday Morning Jazz Band's long-awaited debut album, "In Search of the Phoenix" (Jazz Heritage JHI 81001).

As charming as the Monk maze is, the arrangement is by no means the most successful Crotty has developed. Though he is still quite young, he's written a good deal over the years and his credentials are impressive: For the past eight years he's been the Airmen of Note's principal composer and arranger; his charts frequently bolster Clark Terry's Big Band sound, and recently he also composed a score for Terry and the Denver Symphony Orchestra. Even so, "In Search of the Phoenix" is likely to be widely regarded as his most impressive achievement.

The album opens with "Jeanine," a Duke Peterson tune, which blasts out of the gate and then swings with enormous verve and momentum. Muted brass and robust reeds coalesce in vigorous and colorful ensemble performances. They're interspersed with incisive solo contributions from several members of the SMJB who consistently stand out: saxophonists C.J. Landry, Mike Redford and Crotty; trumpeter Steve Robinsons and trombonist Ken Hedberg.

Hedberg's lyrical phrasing also imparts a special warmth to "Tone Poem for a Rainy Day."

grations — then Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes" is one of its most rewarding. This is the kind of chart one hears all too seldom from big bands. Crotty has remained faithful to the spirit of the original version, retained its personality and enhanced it considerably.

In return, all one can hope for is that, through airplay, this performance and the others on "Phoenix" will enhance the SMJB's growing national reputation. It couldn't happen to a better big band.

Other local jazz albums worthy of mention include pianist Stef Scaggiari's "Just the Beginning" (Gene Machine SS11180), which, incidentally, also features the SMJB's fine drummer Dave Palamar.

Occasionally Scaggiari displays a sweet tooth for pop-jazz confection. His own "Window-shopping," for example, suggests the spry yet forgettable funk Ramsey Lewis hammers out on occasion. Another of Scaggiari's tunes, "My Little Girl," resembles the sort of lilting, lightweight electric piano diversion Bob James has mastered. Neither tune can compare with the best Scaggiari has to offer.

On "I'll Remember April," Scaggiari proves he has a marvelous right hand, capable of fleet and often loveably melodic improvisations. He also works beautifully with bassist Marshall Hawkins, whose strong sense of direction is sorely missed when Scaggiari turns to the electric piano for inspiration.

Another stand out is "Indian/Donna Lee," which finds Scaggiari and his sessionmates straddling along with impressive ease and confidence.

Finally, there's no telling just what the iconoclastic keyboard player Lamont Johnson will perform. Johnson always has a few tricks up his sleeve. His latest album, "New York Exile" (Masterscores MS 801R21S), is a wonderfully evocative remembrance of the years he spent in New York. Each of the seven selections succeeds in conveying a different and quite specific urban mood or setting — a slow Hudson River fog descending on the city, the bump-and-grind burlesque of Old Broadway, the charged atmosphere of a Lower East Side jazz club, even bag ladies vying for space

## Kissinger backs sanctions

By GREG O'BRIEN

The United States should consider sanctions against Libya — even if reports of a Libyan assassination plot can't be proved, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said yesterday in Boston.

Sanctions available to the United States include a ban on oil and natural gas imports from Libya as well as an embargo on all trade.

"I think the basic problem presented by the Libyans is (their) encouragement of terrorism as an instrument of international diplomacy," Kissinger said during an interview at the Kennedy Library. "There is no doubt that this is happening."

Asked about reports of Libyan hit squads loose in the United States, Kissinger

replied, "I can't believe our government would make these charges (Libya's alleged plot to kill U.S. officials) unless they had evidence ... I suspect there must be something to it."

"You can't overreact to that."

Asked about Libya's Col. Moammar Khadafy Kissinger said, "I wouldn't want to build him up so much and make him a mythical figure ... I'd like to see him less in the headlines. He isn't that crucial a figure except as a symbol."

Kissinger said most Arab leaders he knew thought Khadafy was "crazy."

"It's one of the few things in which there seems to be consensus in the Middle East," he added.

Kissinger was in Boston Tuesday on private business.

Yesterday was his first tour of the Kennedy museum.

higher rate this year, Rossetti said. But com-
plaints of sexual molestation are down slightly.

What makes the situation critical, Rossetti said, is that the higher number of crimes in certain categories are being committed during the library's shorter hours, which began last March.

"Several years ago," he said, "we had a few police officers patrolling the library. Then only one officer was assigned to us. Last October that officer was eliminated."

Director McNiff said an outside security
force would not have to be hired if laid-off Bos-
ton police officers are brought back and one or
two are assigned to the library.

"The appropriation of $25,000 by the trustees means we will have to curtail some service or some activity," he said. "We won't lay off any more staffers. We need every employee we have now."

Sería interesante conocer que opina el senor Henry Kissinger sobre las acusaciones que le hace el profesor Juan Bosch de ser él responsable directo de la pérdida de miles de vidas en Vietnam y de la muerte del presidente chileno Salvador Allende en 1973. Sería interesante pero es muy poco probable que mister Kissinger se refiera a ellas desde su lugar de descanso en Casa de Campo, La Romana, donde acercarse al área donde se encuentra ha sido vedado no sólo para los periodistas, sino para muchos miembros de la servidumbre.

Bosch Fustiga
Visita Kissinger

El ex Presidente Juan Bosch dijo hoy que es "verdaderamente penoso" que Henri Kissinger esté pisando tierra dominicana y que esté hospedado en la casa de un dominicano.

Asimismo, el líder del Partido de la Liberación Dominicana (PLD) calificó de "realmente infortunadas" las declaraciones del jefe de la Policía, mayor general Paulino Reyes

de León, en el sentido de que la institución respondería "golpe por golpe" los actos terroristas.

De igual modo, el profesor Bosch comentó los siguientes temas:

- Presupuesto de 1982;

- Proyecto para modificar la Constitución;

- Críticas del Partido de los Trabajadores Dominicanos (PTD); y

- Deuda de la Gulf and Western con el Estado.

Sobre la visita de Kissinger, ex secretario de Estado norteamericano, y quien está en el país desde ayer tarde, el ex Presidente Bosch declaró que "él es responsable directo de la pérdida de miles de vidas, de los bombardeos de Vietnam bajo el Gobierno de Nixon, las cuales fueron solicitados por él a Nixon y el Pentágono".

Según Bosch, Kissinger quería obligar a los vietnamistas a ceder en las

negociaciones de paz que se hacían, que aceptaran las condiciones de los norteamericanos. Además, indicó que el señor Kissinger "es responsable del asesinato de Salvador Allende y de miles de chilenos, porque personal-

mente él dirigió la conspicuencia para quitarle la vida al ex Presidente y para instalar en el poder a Pinochet. Es verdaderamente penoso que esté pisando tierra dominicana y que esté en la casa de un dominicano".

Según la información de que se dispone, Kissinger está alojado en la casa veraniega del modisto Oscar de la Renta, en La Romana.

En torno a las declaraciones del jefe de la Policía, Bosch declaró lo siguiente:

"Fueron declaraciones realmente infortunadas. El jefe de la Policía no debió nunca haber dicho ésto; él no es el que ejecuta las leyes, el que las hace cumplir. Esa es tarea de la justicia. Las leyes dominicanas no autorizan a la Policía a devolver golpe por golpe. Ese no es el papel de la Policía".

Bosch habló en el programa "Entrevistas" que produce todos los días, a la 1:30 de la tarde, por Onda Musical, el periodista Félix A. Gómez.

Señaló el ex Presidente que es el Poder Ejecutivo quien debe tomar en cuenta que se cumplan las leyes. Se preguntó Bosch qué sería de esta sociedad entonces "si admitimos que la Policía devuelva golpe por golpe; habría que devolver entonces, a la Policía, los golpes que ella da".

Citó el líder peledeísta el caso de los jóvenes Clodomiro Gautreaux Ortiz y Manuel Ramón Mesa de los Santos, muertos en lo que la institución del orden público dijo fue un enfrentamientos con supuestos participantes en un intento de secuestro del industrial José Miguel Bonetti Guerra, la semana pasada.

Considera Bosch que esa declaración de Reyes de León "fue una pífia" del departamento de Relaciones Públicas de la Policía. Estimó que el término "golpe por golpe" no debió ser utilizado.

En cuanto al proyecto de presupuesto para 1982, insistió el ex Presidente derrocado el 25 de septiembre de 1963 que el Estado dominicano debe exigir a la Gulf and Western que entregue los 13 millones de pesos que tiene retenidos desde hace algunos años por concepto de la aplicación de la ley 491, sobre Colonato Azucarero.

Aclaró que ésto no es un impuesto nuevo sino el cobro de una deuda y que ese dinero debe ser destinado, 10 millones de pesos para aumentar los sueldos de los profesores y los tres restantes para socorrer económicamente a la Uni-

Nadie podrá pensar que el anunciado viaje del ex secretario de Estado norteamericano Henry Kissinger a República Dominicana —en donde será huésped del modisto Oscar de la Renta— tendrá como objetivo encargar la confección de un traje a la medida para él o para su esposa Nancy. Míster Kissinger viene a auscultar la situación del país en sus distintas vertientes, para luego hacer recomendaciones en Washington. Y como debe sospecharse que Kissinger estará así sea de incógnito en Santo Domingo —al menos para la prensa— será innecesaria la peregrinación de políticos hacia La Romana.

Las agencias de noticias occidentales dicen que la situación laboral en Polonia tiene su principal foco de oposición al régimen en una huelga de mineros cerca de Varsovia. Radio Moscú dijo el sábado en la noche, en cambio, que allí los mineros estuvieron secuestrados por un grupo del sindicato Solidaridad, que era condenado a viva voz por familiares de aquellos a los que no se permitía salir. ¿A quién creerle? La crisis de Polonia parece que se ha convertido en una guerra propagandística al través de los medios de comunicación.
