> It was probably not how Henry Kissinger wanted to Start the Week.
> After an extraordinarily bad-tempered interview with Jeremy
> Paxman on the Radio 4 debate programme yesterday, Dr Kissinger
> left suddenly in the middle of the broadcast.
>
> What was meant to be a gentle opportunity to plug the latest
> chapter in his memoirs for the 75-year-old diplomat, turned into
> a scuffle as he could barely conceal his rising temper during a
> "challenging" interview with Mr Paxman.
>
> Dr Kissinger, who had been reluctant to appear at all on the
> programme, was clearly unaccustomed to the robust questioning of
> Mr Paxman. However the former US secretary of state got off
> lightly compared to the former home secretary Michael Howard,
> once famously asked the same question 13 times by Mr Paxman on
> Newsnight.
>
> On three occasions Dr Kissinger accused Mr Paxman of inaccuracies
> in his questions - at one point suggesting he had been promised
> an easy ride, responding: "I wonder what you do when you do a
> hostile interview".
>
> That followed Mr Paxman's question: "Did you feel a fraud
> accepting the Nobel prize [for the Indo-China peace agreement]?"
>
> After two questions from his fellow guests, Dr Kissinger left the
> studio muttering as Mr Paxman interrupted himself to bid him a
> hasty "thank you and goodbye".
>
> Suspecting that he would be "set up" by the other panellists, the
> diplomat had warned the BBC that he might not stay for the round
> table debate and, as soon as his interview had finished, he left
> the studio.
>
> Protracted last-minute negotiations revealed that he was
> concerned that some of his more controversial positions, such as
> the bombing of Cambodia and his more recent support for General
> Pinochet, might prove unpopular in the adversarial show.
>
> He is understood to have been told by production staff that he
> did not have to join in the debate. He had expressed his
> unhappiness at the line-up of fellow guests including the human
> rights campaigner and barrister Geoffrey Robertson QC, and the
> writer Frances Stonor Saunders, whose book on the influence of
> the CIA is just about to be published.
>
> Before their meeting on air this morning, both Mr Robertson and
> Mr Stonor Saunders had said how much they were looking forward to
> challenging Dr Kissinger. They had to get in quick however,
> before the man Mr Paxman described as the world's most famous
> diplomat decided enough was enough.
>
> A BBC spokeswoman denied Dr Kissinger had stormed out of the
> programme, saying the production team had always known he might
> not stay for the debate. In a statement, the BBC said: "The
> challenging conversation in this morning's Start The Week between
> Dr Kissinger and Jeremy Paxman made fascinating listening.
>
> "We welcomed his contribution to the programme and hope he would
> join the debate with the other guests, although we were aware
> that this might not be possible. Sadly he chose to leave the
