...might fill the position? Robert Zoellick, the deputy secretary of state who has long dreamed of the Treasury job, is no longer thought likely to get it. Zoellick, a brilliant if sometimes brittle player who has about 20 IQ points on everyone else in Washington, may have assumed that he would get Treasury in exchange for backing up Condoleezza Rice at State for two years. But if there is no real chance to make economic policy in the Treasury slot, Zoellick probably doesn't belong there. A more likely candidate now is Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, a 53-year...

"That is the critical prerequisite, whether you're Henry Kissinger, whether you're Jim Baker, whether you're Condi Rice. She has that...
...Last week, those two nations surprised the world with an alternative planet-saving scheme at a location seemingly chosen at random. On the sidelines of an Association of Southeast Asian Nations meeting in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick and Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer unveiled the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate, a six-nation initiative that was pulled together in behind-the-scenes diplomatic talks over the past six months. The other countries taking part?China, India, Japan and South Korea?are responsible for 48% of the world's greenhouse...
