The latest Kissinger story making the rounds in Washington: with 400 capital notables on hand for his son's bar mitzvah, Israeli Ambassador Simcha Dinitz was pleased. While some guests congratulated Son Michael, 13, at the party at the ambassador's residence, others surrounded the Secretary of State. "Did you have a bar mitzvah of your own?" Kissinger was asked. "Yes, I studied hard for it," he replied. "Was it similar?" the guests pursued. "No, it was different," answered Kissinger. "For one thing, the German Foreign Minister didn't come to my bar mitzvah." "They always think I should be up for an Academy Award," says Cinematron Raquel Welch, 34, of her two children, Tahnee, 12, and Damon, 14. Visiting New York City over Mother's Day to promote her newest film, Wild Party, Raquel disclosed that Daughter Tahnee had already received a few film offers of her own, all of which Raquel has turned down. "I've tried to protect them from becoming celebrities. That should be their choice," says she. "They are the biggest things in my life."
