Kissinger in Hospital After Heart Attack

Former secretary of State and Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry A. Kissinger has suffered a “limited” heart attack but is doing well and is expected to recover, hospital officials in New York said. Kissinger, 77, who served as secretary of State under Presidents Nixon and Ford, suffered what doctors called a limited heart attack and was admitted to New York Weill Cornell Medical Center of New York Presbyterian Hospital, the hospital said. “He is doing well and is expected to be in the hospital for a few days,” said hospital administrator Abby Jacobsen. The German-born Kissinger shaped policies behind major world events of the 1970s, including the Vietnam peace agreement, the reopening of U.S.-Chinese relations, growing contact between Israel and the Arab world and U.S.-Soviet arms control talks.
