00:00 Former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger died on Wednesday at his home in
00:08 Connecticut at the age of 100, Kissinger Associates Inc. said in a statement.
00:15 Kissinger was active into his 90s, attending meetings in the White House, publishing a
00:20 book on leadership styles, and testifying before a Senate committee about the nuclear
00:26 threat posed by North Korea.
00:28 In the 1970s, he had a hand in many of the epoch-changing global events of the decade
00:34 while serving as Secretary of State under Republican Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald
00:40 Ford.
00:42 The German-born Jewish refugees' efforts led to the diplomatic opening of China, landmark
00:48 U.S.-Soviet arms control talks, expanded ties between Israel and its Arab neighbors, and
00:55 the Paris Peace Accord with North Vietnam.
00:59 But Kissinger's reign as the prime architect of U.S. foreign policy waned with Nixon's
01:04 resignation in 1974.
01:07 Still, he continued to be a diplomatic force under Ford and to offer strong opinions throughout
01:13 the rest of his life.
01:16 His 1973 Peace Prize, awarded jointly to North Vietnam's Le Tocqueville, who had declined
01:22 it, was one of the most controversial ever.
