...friend describes Rice's transition from the White House to the State Department as "liberating." "She now has a department to manage. She has duties to perform," says former Secretary of State George Shultz, one of her mentors. "That's what she really enjoys and likes." Rice's forward-leaning approach leaves little space for formalities. She doesn't e-mail because it is impersonal and indelible, communicating mainly through person-to-person calls.

After a few days of soul searching, Kalb met with Shultz, then resigned the next...
...dissenting from Secretary Shultz," insisted Kalb. "To me, he is a monument of credibility, integrity, courage, strength." Shultz was equally gracious about his departing press secretary, saying, "I am sorry to see Bernie Kalb go. I admire him as a fine journalist, respect him as a colleague and adviser, and value him as a friend." In Kalb's nearly two years at the State Department, he had grown close to Shultz, nudging him into appearing on television more frequently to play up his role as advocate for the Administration's foreign policy...
