Even at a school of overachievers, Perez stood out. She held the second highest rank in her senior class and as brigade command sergeant major was the highest-ranking minority woman in the history of West Point. She set school records as a sprinter on the track team, led the school's gospel choir, tutored a number of other students and even helped start a dance squad to cheer on the football and basketball teams. Professors wanted her to be in their classes; soldiers wanted her to lead their cadets; underclassmen wanted to absorb a little bit of the drive...

...Beijing as too close to Washington, he may find China cool to his candidacy. Ironically, however, there's also a danger that South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun's rocky relationship with Washington could cool U.S. support for Ban. Another drawback is his lack of international stature. Ban's highest-profile role has been in the Six-Party talks to defuse North Korea's nuclear ambitions, which ultimately yielded almost nothing - although that frustrating experience could be good practice for life in the U.N.
