The Nixon administration names Henry Kissinger as White House assistant for national security, with Harry Dent and John Sears as deputy counsel, signaling deliberate cross‑party balance. Kissinger, praised across camps, frames a Europe and Atlantic focus, while keeping Asia expertise and a wary stance toward Soviet power. Richard V. Allen supports Kissinger, and Nixon’s broader team begins on an auspicious note.
