In 1994, when reports circulated in the Iraqi press calling Albright a serpent, she decided to wear the snake pin--in lieu of a name tag--when meeting with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz.

Morris paints himself as the cool, mature mind who advised on everything from suitable vacation spots to the Bosnian peace talks. And he breathlessly describes how he and Clinton toiled alone on the '95 State of the Union address, he at the typewriter, the President above him, "like a sequoia...
