Symbolism Meets Diplomacy

submitted by wictory on June 22, 2011, 6:29 pm

Photographs are the centerpiece of this coffee table-style book by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. I'm not very interested in or knowledgeable about jewelry, but it was easy to admire these pieces along with the commentary and intentions with which Albright presented them.

What I appreciated the most though, was the simplicity of Albright's tactic - wearing a pin that embodied the message she wanted to express that day - while performing one of the most difficult, complicated and nuanced jobs in government. Symbolic, simple and smart.
