...flak from Democratic (and even some G.O.P.) legislators when she testifies on Capitol Hill, but some of the most ferocious criticism she has recently faced comes from an unlikely source: John Bolton, the fiery conservative who served under Rice as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

Ambitious would certainly describe Black at the beginning of her career in 1966 as a lowly sales assistant at the now defunct Holiday magazine. She moved fast from the start, sometimes too fast for her own good. She once left her résumé on a copy machine at work, where it was found by a senior executive at Curtis Publishing Co., Holiday's owner. Oops. She learned...
