Henry Kissinger, who was US Secretary of State for two US administrations, under both Nixon and Ford, has died at age 100. Kissinger who was considered an intellectual was both embraced and reviled depending upon the subject about which he was talking.
However, for our discussion here on this blog, Kissinger was the man who was approached by Americans for Simas, including my father Lawrence, and who spoke with Richard Nixon and made the release of Simas Kudirka not only a priority, but aided in it becoming a reality.
On the occasion of Kissinger's death, I thank him for this victory.
Kissinger is said to have died at home in Connecticut. I sent condolences to Mr. Kissinger's family and his adult children.
