A Good Move At Stanford

“We are very fortunate to have Condoleezza Rice assume the helm of the Hoover Institution,” (Stanford President) Tessier-Lavigne said. “Her accomplishments as a scholar, strategic thinker, and public servant and her deep commitment to Hoover make her the ideal leader for defining the next chapter in Hoover’s long and distinguished history. She is also an exceptional teacher and is strongly committed to Stanford, having served as the university’s provost for six years and a member of our faculty since 1981. I and many other leaders at Stanford have greatly valued her wisdom and counsel and look forward to welcoming her to our executive leadership team.”  link

An essay by Dr. Rice about the Soviet Union was part of the reading in a national security seminar course I took during my senior year at West Point.
