PEOPLE, Page 94What Makes Henry HappyBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
It was a trying time for HENRY KISSINGER, who testified for
the plaintiff last week in the Chicago libel trial of journalist
SEYMOUR 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.
