Madeleine Albright, Vivienne Becker, Elaine Shocas, Bill Woodward - ...

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is probably the first to combine diplomatic memoir and collectibles--but she succeeds admirably. When Albright found that her personal interest in jewelry--especially pins and brooches--was noticed by both the press and by the foreign diplomats, she decided that her collection could communicate her feelings and intentions, serve as conversation starters, and appeal to her own sense of fashion. She judiciously selected pins that would convey messages to those alert audiences, such as a snake brooch she put on after having been called a "serpent" by one of Saddam Hussein's followers. READ MY PINS includes over 200 photographs of pins from Albright's collection.
