Dr. Kissinger's wit

DR. HENRY Kissinger's wit has not lost its sting. Samples from an
impromptu speech at the Intercon yesterday at a breakfast with other
distinguished UNCTAD delegates:

"No peace without justice"... "No stability without
equilibrium"... "No progress without compassion."

"There ought to be international conduct in negotiations and deals"
(perhaps, referring to the serendipity of events even in supposedly official
conferences). The chief delegate of a major superpower who sat near the
podium where Dr. K spoke leaned back when the former US State Secretary
said: "No nation should impose its will upon another, no matter how small
the latter may be."

Referring to a Constitutional proviso barring non-American born from
becoming a US president, Dr. K said: "There is no Constitutional prohibitions
against becoming a vice president — just as there is no Constitutional
provision in the world prohibiting one from becoming an emperor."
