"The Uncertain Tradition" (as Professor Norman A. Graebner charactized the lot of those who have served as U.S. Secretary of State) has become even less certain. Secretary-designate Hillary Rodham Clinton, if confirmed by the U.S. Senate, will become the third woman at the head of the Department of State. Madeleine Albright, Condoleeza Rice, and — if confirmed — Hillary Clinton: a monstrous regiment of women or a rightous sisterhood? If this is (fair & balanced) unpredictability, so be it.
