Henry Alfred Kissinger  (May 27, 1923 – November 29, 2023)

Henry Kissinger, the influential former U.S. Secretary of State
who earned a reputation as a sagacious diplomat but drew
international condemnation and accusations of war crimes
for his key role in widening the American presence in Vietnam
and the U.S. bombing of Cambodia, died Wednesday.

He served as Secretary of State and national security adviser
under two Republican presidents, Richard Nixon and Gerald
Ford, and advised powerful leaders in both American political
parties for decades.

On this day in 1973, a Senate vote confirmed Gerald Ford as
vice president after Spiro Agnew resigned to avoid being indicted for allegedly accepting bribes. Ford was the first
vice president to be selected under the terms of the 25th Amendment.
