...kept its word. So at a lavish Mid-Autumn Festival party on Sept. 17 hosted by Chinese Vice Foreign Minister and chief negotiator Wu Dawei, Hill went to work. According to a U.S. official, in between the Dynasty-brand wine, mooncakes and calls to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who was in New York buttonholing foreign ministers as they attended the U.N. World Summit, Hill nailed down agreements that the others would not help North Korea get its reactor until Pyongyang's nuclear warheads and fissile material were eliminated. Confident that the U.S. line would be backed, Hill...
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice believes U.S. and European diplomatic efforts will soon bear fruit in the form of international pressure on Iran to desist from its nuclear program. In a wide-ranging interview with TIME on Monday, the secretary of state indicated that Washington is confident of carrying the support of a majority of the 35 members of the board governing the International Atomic Energy Agency for a resolution to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over its failure to disclose numerous aspects of its nuclear program.

In a much-anticipated speech Ahmadinejad offered to permit foreign countries as well as private companies to participate in his country's uranium enrichment program as a confidence-building measure that would demonstrate Iran is not fabricating nuclear weapons. He also asked the UN General Assembly to set up a special committee to compile a report and draw up practical strategies for complete nuclear disarmament...
...bayou blunders also intruded on a pre-summit visit Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice paid to Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., publisher of The New York Times, and his "publishers luncheon." She was asked about the possibility that Katrina had fueled perceptions "that George Bush doesn't care about black people." Rice said it was "poisonous" for someone to suggest that the president would decide who ought to be helped on the basis of color. "You know the phrase that actually attracted me to him more than anything else didn't have anything to do with foreign policy-it was actually...
