Henry Kissinger
Henry Kissinger was just released from a hospital in Seoul, Korea after suffering from stomach pains. For the younger generation, Kissinger may be a familiar name but his achievements might not be known.
Kissinger was the U.S. Secretary of State in the mid-70s for Nixon and Ford. A Harvard grad, the German-born government employee was the one guy who came away from the Watergate scandal unscathed. Foreign policy has always been Kissinger’s claim to fame, most notably when he helped ease the tension among the U.S., China, and the Soviet Union. Kissinger’s negotiations led to treaties which helped reduce arms and made relations a little more civil among the major world powers.
Currently 86, Kissinger is still outspoken, sometimes to the point of controversy, and he is often consulted on foreign policy and diplomacy even to this day. Not a year goes by that his name doesn’t come up in the news, and now you’ll be ready the next time you see a “Kissinger” in the headlines.
