Rice and Albright are "Sisters"


I heard a great piece on the radio the other day.

Madeleine Albright was Secretary of State during the Clinton administration.  She was the first female secretary of state. Her father was a professor of international relations at some university in Colorado.

Current U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice studied with Albright's father, was his "star" pupil and was very close to him.  Albright tried to recruit Rice for the national security team prior to the first Clinton presidency.

Rice told Albright she was a republican, which shocked Albright. Apparently they share many of the same views on international relations, but very much differ on the approach.
