Her most ardent courtship has been of Senator Jesse Helms, the Foreign Relations Committee's curmudgeonly chairman whose home state of North Carolina Albright has visited twice. During her trip there last March, she spoke at Helms' alma mater and attended a birthday dinner for his wife. When Albright boarded the Air Force jet to return to Washington, she found on her seat a bag of barbecue...
