Dear Dr. Kissinger,

Re: My enjoyed reading and learning of your book the White House Years.

Of all its 1,476 plus pages if I were to
select one factor which may have changed American
history I would select the innocent contents of page 7
reminding us of 1968 when the late Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
backed off to Richard Nixon's driving need, and what I
believe was Republican Party inside pressure to stop
the Governor from seeking the Republican Party
nomination.

I believed then, as I believe now that if
he had cast aside both of their strongly suggested views
the delegates would have eventually selected Nelson
Rockefeller to carry the Republican banner (ever riding
Party big wig pressures) and Gov Rockefeller would have
won the popular vote by a landslide. Had the course of
history taken such a path it is possible that Gov.
Rockefeller may have gone down in history as a great
American President. In brevity he should have punted
instead of passing.

Another area of concern in dealing or seeking
the cooperation of foreign world leaders; our imature
youth is dominating sound judgement.

We have a practice of dealing with other nations
via "politicians" rather than their expectations of
dealing with "diplomats" who are skilled in diplomacy.
In talk and negotiations the politician and the diplomat
are worlds apart. One is a skilled professional the
other is a child attempting to play a adult game. When
will we learn not to confuse the qualifications of the
two, if ever?

Those are this American's views, and thank you
for your public service, and the efforts of your quill.
You were a qualified diplomat and the system attempted
to convert you into a politician.

For The New Republic

Hans Morgenthau was my teacher. And he was my friend.

I must say that at the outset because so many obituaries
have stressed his disagreement with policies with which I
have become identified.

We knew each other for a decade and a half before I
entered office. We remained in sporadic contact while I
served the government. We saw more of each other afterwards.

It is not often possible that one can identify a seminal
figure in contemporary political thought or in one's own life.
Hans Morgenthau made the study of contemporary international
relations a major and separate discipline. All of us who
taught the subject after him, however much we differed from
each other, had to start with his reflections. Not everybody
agreed with Hans Morgenthau; nobody could ignore him. And on
a personal level he and I remained close through all the
intellectual upheavals and disputes of two and a half decades.

To establish international relations as a discipline
