AdvertisementBottom line: If Reagan is remembered as a great foreign policy president, he owes much of his reputation to the patient, often unspectacular work of his secretary of State. With Nixon, Kissinger worked for a president who thought deeply about global strategy; their foreign policy mind meld became legendary.
