One of the most interesting things I learned about Henry Kissinger recently is that Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos fame (or, rather, infamy) managed to successfully dupe him into investing in her company. Proof that few are immune to the nefarious forces of skillful and strategic marketing.
Rolling Stone, among other sources, was not kind to Kissinger after his death. “The Cubans say there is no evil that lasts a hundred years, and Kissinger is making a run to prove them wrong,” Yale University historian Greg Grandin told Rolling Stone not long before Kissinger died. “There is no doubt he’ll be hailed as a geopolitical grand strategist, even though he bungled most crises, leading to escalation."

Henry Kissinger always considered himself to be a realist, but his concept of reality was pretty cynical, making him the perfect advisor for Richard Nixon!
