...father was the first of the intellectual mentors who sharpened her skills and toughened her hide. The other dominant figures, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Muskie, were known for their fierce, intellectual appetites and the grilling they put their students and colleagues through. Brzezinski, Albright's Ph.D. adviser at Columbia and later her boss at the National Security Council, could fillet an unprepared student in a second; he gave out so few A's that he wrote personal notes along with them. Albright became a favorite of his, and it was here, as one of the few female students in his class...

...anything, the group is a bit too pleasant and agreeable. Christopher and Lake, as veterans of the Carter Administration, remember all too well how its foreign policy was almost paralyzed by the rivalry between National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. They have vowed not to repeat that experience and have succeeded -- but at a heavy price. Too often they let politeness develop into fuzzy agreements rather than vigorously thrashing out alternative policies for the President's decision...
