Henry Kissinger passed away

I remember him when I was a kid then teen. My dad hated the man. I actually had the curiosity to learn about Kissinger because as odd as it sounds I wanted to know why my dad hated him so.

Primarily I believe it was the so called womanizing- true or not

Between his first and second marriages (according to his biographer, Walter Isaacson), Kissinger dated actresses Jill St. John, Shirley MacLaine, Marlo Thomas, Candice Bergen and Liv Ullman.

"Power," he once famously said, "is the ultimate aphrodisiac."

Remember him well. Seems he was always in the news back in the early '70's. I was just a boy at the time but even then I could tell that he was an influential figure. A lot of good and bad said about him today. Regardless where you stand on the man, it can't be denied that he was an interesting and powerful political giant.
