BILLIE'S Comments.

I just found out that Madeleine Albright passed.
I have to post something in her memory.
Wednesday, March 23, 2022 was a sad day for women all over the world. We lost an amazing woman when Madeleine Albright left her earthly existence and left us with a void in our lives. Her strength of character was an inspiration to many women.
Albright is widely considered to be one of the most influential women in American politics, and her tenure as Secretary of State is often cited as a model for future female leaders. Since leaving the Clinton administration, she has written a series of books. One, "Hell and Other Destinations," was published in April 2020. Others include her autobiography, "Madam Secretary: A Memoir" (2003) and "Read My Pins: Stories from a Diplomat’s Jewel Box" (2009). In all these books, her thoughts on politics and her worldview as a seasoned politician shine through. She is without doubt one of the most important figures in modern politics in the United States.
“A lot of people think international relations is like a game of chess. But it's not a game of chess, where people sit quietly, thinking out their strategy, taking their time between moves. It's more like a game of billiards, with a bunch of balls clustered together.”
— Madeleine Albright
Rest in peace, Madeleine, and thank you for all your efforts to make this world a better place for all of us to live in.

Madeleine (Korbel) Albright
Born in what was then Czechoslovakia to Josef Korbel (a Czech diplomat) and Anna Spieglová Korbel, Madeleine had one younger sister, Katherine, and one younger brother, John. After WW2, the family moved around Europe due to her father's diplomatic missions. She spent her teen years in Denver Colorado, graduating from high school in Denver. While interning at The Denver Post during college at Wellesley, Madeleine (as she was then known) met newspaper scion Joseph Medill Patterson Albright. They married shortly after she graduated - in 1959. They eventually had 3 children (2 of which were twin daughters) and remained married until their divorce in 1982. Appointed to US Ambassador to the United Nations by President Clinton in 1993, he later appointed her as the first female Secretary of State from the United States (1997). For additional details about Madeleine's illustrious life see her USA Today Madeleine (Korbel) Albright: Obituary.

For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living. For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations. I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it. In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK.
My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
