PEOPLE, Page 94What Makes Henry Happy
By 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.
