“So I would hope that this is an example of where crisis can be used to improve international communication.”
In the two decades that she has been out of government, Madeleine Albright has, remarkably, developed a portfolio perhaps even broader than the one she maintained as secretary of state during President Clinton’s second term. She served on the board of the New York Stock Exchange and co-founded the Albright Stonebridge Group, a business-strategy firm. She helped monitor elections, among other duties, as the chairwoman for the National Democratic Institute.
Ultimately we’re going to have to figure out what happened. It’s essential for us to work with the Chinese. They clearly have some responsibility in terms of the way they handled the coronavirus initially and in their way of not communicating — some suggesting that this was an American plot.
Clearly, I come from an era where American involvement did make a difference, but I have some problem accepting what you said about the last 50 years.

Reporter Almost Got Away With Skipping Pants On Good Morning AmericaDuring this time of covid-19 induced home quarantine and social distancing, hopping on a video chat to talk to co-workers, friends, and family is a regular occurrence, while the need to look presentable has petered out–a potentially disastrous combination. I, for one, have had many a pantless zoom call or during a video chat with my therapist. But the key to succeeding in such a risky, lazy venture is to always make sure the camera is angled in such a way that your bits won’t be on display to your shady co-workers or your poor grandma.
