...however, has been careful to cultivate other men whose help she needs. "It makes a big difference...if you can get on a first name basis with a foreign minister," Albright told TIME. She has exchanged a dozen letters and phone calls with usually dour Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeni Primakov, who now greets her with flowers when she flies to Moscow. The two even share private jokes. During one of their first meetings, Albright recounted that she learned that her Georgetown house was infested with termites.
