- <p> It was a trying time for Henry Kissinger, who testified for
- the plaintiff last week in the Chicago libel trial of
- journalist Seymous Hersh. The plaintiff was onetime Indian Prime
- Minister Morarji Desai, 93, who claimed Hersh defamed him by
- writing that Desai was once a paid CIA informant. Not so far as
- he knew, declared Kissinger, who was National Security Adviser
- at the time. Grumpy over having had to travel to the Windy City,
- Kissinger gave the back of his hand to the defendant, who had
- written an unflattering 1983 portrait of Kissinger. "I'd be just
- as happy if I never heard of Mr. Hersh again," he said later.
- Desai may feel the same way. He lost the case.
