...Bush unveiled a near identical position on Chechnya more than a week later--in a precooked foreign-policy address--but by then it sounded stale. "McCain was the first senior American politician to say that what the Russians are doing is genocide," says former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski. "It was a gutsy call, and he called it just right." It was more than good timing. While campaign finance is his calling card, foreign affairs is McCain's intellectual passion.

Apart from the intellectual equipment her mentors provided, Albright also learned to keep her wits about her as she acquired the essential diplomatic skill of making people who were uncomfortable with each other become comfortable with her. This was never clearer than when Muskie was Secretary of State and Brzezinski tapped Albright to work with him at the National Security Council. It was a low-level staff job, but "she was always at the center of things," recalls Richard Moe, then Vice President Mondale's chief of staff. She was the rare staff member who could work with both...
