Spinning Kissinger
I do occasionally read your magazine Fifteen Minutes and was quite interested to read about the Central Intelligence Agency's history with Harvard (Magazine, "Harvard and the CIA", Feb. 8), my alma mater and yours soon enough.
But imagine my surprise in seeing the article include Henry A. Kissinger '50 as the one who helped President Lyndon B. Johnson "bring the boys home," as it was so jocularly put. Kissinger did not help Johnson bring the boys home, but rather did his best to see that Johnson could not bring the boys home--which, if anyone really cares, cost America 20,000 more boys and the Nixon presidency.
Something to keep in mind, I suppose, or perhaps not.
