Hope you voted today. I also hope and pray that the new batch of leaders, no matter who they are, will try hard to work together.
Last night I read another article about Madeleine Albright's pins. As you may know, despite speaking six or seven languages, she often used her brooches or pins to make a "point" when she was Secretary of State. And she still does.
It all started with Saddam Hussein. When the first Gulf War ended she was depicted in the Baghdad papers as a "serpent." So she decided to wear her snake pin.
When the Russians were bugging the State Department in the 90s she wore her big bug pin.
One of my favorites is her Dove pin.
Also, on this voting day when I think the most important need is coming together - I love the story Madeleine Albright tells about her dad.
He was a brilliant professor. She was a brilliant student. But, as she says her dad told it, she wasn't his most brilliant student.
Condoleezza Rice was.
