    She entered college at the age of 15, and has worked her way up through the ranks to take a seat in President Bush’s cabinet. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was the commencement speaker Friday afternoon at the Mississippi College School of Law graduation. Before a packed audience, 110 Mississippi College law graduates received their final lecture from National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. Rice told the crowd, "You embody the truth that education is a great equalizer and that here in America it is not about where you come from but where you're going." Rice shared words of wisdom,...

    LONDON (AFP) - Top British tennis player Tim Henman has accepted an invitation to play US national security adviser Condoleezza Rice when he visits Washington for a tournament in July, a London newspaper reported. Rice, said to be passionate about tennis, will hit a few balls with Henman when he visits Washington for the Legg Mason Classic, a tournament on the men's professional tour, according to The Sunday Times. Henman's agent, quoted in the weekly, said the player had "agreed to play" Rice. The security adviser was a frequent doubles partner of Britain's former ambassador to the United States, Christopher...

    US vs Pyongyang: Watch RumsfeldBy Phar Kim Beng HONG KONG - As talks finally get under way between the United States and North Korea, the latter, which has made obstinacy and diplomatic misbehavior an art form, would do well to keep in mind the growing influence and staying power in Washington of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. With the US victory in Iraq all but declared, barely a year after a previous triumph in Afghanistan, Rumsfeld's influence has increased by several notches. Together with other neo-conservatives who urged the Iraq war, "Rummy", as he is affectionately known in Washington, is...

EST DR. RICE: Good afternoon. I have a quick opening statement, and then I'm happy to take questions. There's been a lot of speculation in the press in recent days about the post-Saddam Iraq, not all of it entirely accurate and some of it just plain wrong. (Laughter.) So I'm here to try and clear up a few things. Just as we've planned for a military victory, we have been planning...

    Bush national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, looking ahead to her political future, has "talked specifically" to high-level GOP insiders about the possibility of running for California governor in four years -- and has ruled out a 2004 U.S. Senate campaign against Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer, Republican Party sources said. Rice, the former Stanford provost who rates highly with California voters in opinion polls, is "very much open" to a future gubernatorial run in the nation's most populous state, according to those high-level Republicans. Though they admitted much depends on the outcome of the expected U.S. war in Iraq, Republicans at...

    The Republican Party's Black ProblemBy Jamie GlazovFrontPageMagazine.com | February 3, 2003 The “indiscretion” of Trent Lott reflected a problem that has long plagued the Republican Party: its consistent failure to court Black votes and to attract Black candidates. Many wondered how the Republicans could have allowed a Senator with ties to the Conservative Citizens Council to represent the party of Lincoln in the Senate. At the same time, many critics make the argument that it’s the Democrats who are the biggest hypocrites on race. Yet Republicans often fail to fight back when they are falsely portrayed as racists. So what is it, exactly, that Republicans must...

    'Mammy Condoleezza' Parody Prompts Apology, NAACP Mum A Florida radio station has apologized for letting one of its hosts air a racist song parody about Bush National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. But the apology comes no thanks to the local chapter of the NAACP, which was contacted about the racial outrage, but decided not to complain on behalf of the top black Bush official. The song "Condoleezza," aired repeatedly by WQAM-AM Miami radio host Neil Rogers, who's a harsh critic of President Bush, was a viscous racial assault on Ms. Rice that described her as a "black-haired answer-mammy" who "cleans...

    The other real power in the Oval Office Condoleezza Rice takes the softly softly approach but it belies a gritty determination Matthew Engel in Washington Saturday January 25, 2003 The Guardian There is a standard conversation in Washington, at every level of the power structure except the very top, and it always goes something like: "Powell thinks this; Rumsfeld thinks that; Cheney thinks that, only more so. And Condy? Well, she's, um, somewhere in the middle." Everyone now knows who Condy is. As President George Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice is, beyond any question, the most talked-about woman in...

    Why We Know Iraq Is Lying By CONDOLEEZZA RICE WASHINGTON Eleven weeks after the United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution demanding — yet again — that Iraq disclose and disarm all its nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs, it is appropriate to ask, "Has Saddam Hussein finally decided to voluntarily disarm?" Unfortunately, the answer is a clear and resounding no. There is no mystery to voluntary disarmament. Countries that decide to disarm lead inspectors to weapons and production sites, answer questions before they are asked, state publicly and often the intention to disarm and urge their citizens to...

    Jan. 17— By Patricia Wilson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - National security adviser Condoleezza Rice, the highest ranking African-American in the White House, said on Friday that race could play a role in college admission policies, putting her partly at odds with President Bush in a politically charged legal case.Acting on orders from Bush, who consulted at length with Rice, a former provost at Stanford University, political adviser Karl Rove, White House counsel Al Gonzales and others, Justice Department lawyers have urged the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down a University of Michigan program that favors minorities.Their brief took the side of...

    National security adviser Condoleezza Rice took a rare central role in a domestic debate within the White House and helped persuade President Bush to publicly condemn race-conscious admissions policies at the University of Michigan, administration officials said yesterday.The officials said Rice, in a series of lengthy one-on-one meetings with Bush, drew on her experience as provost at Stanford University to help convince him that favoring minorities was not an effective way of improving diversity on college campuses.Rice, the first female national security adviser, told Bush that she worked to increase the number of African American faculty members at Stanford but...

    < snip > Quiet, respectful, anonymous—but firm, just the way the president wanted it. Rice’s aides call her the “anti-Kissinger,” meaning that she does not need to show off her influence or present herself as a master global strategist like Henry Kissinger. That may be in part because Rice is not a strategic genius, but no one doubts her power. Rice’s aides also refer to her (affectionately) as the “Warrior Princess.” She is proud, elegant, fastidious about her appearance (she keeps two mirrors in her office, so she can see her back as well as her front) and utterly unflappable....

    To Condi, with sweetness by Greg Swann The Los Angeles Times has an article (registration required, alas) speculating on the prospects for a 2008 presidential match-up between Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice. It's not a brand-new idea. I first heard of it from Andrew Sullivan. And the Times article is following-up on, without mentioning, a recent public address by William Safire. I am in love with this idea, and not just because I have publicly and repeatedly declared my enmity for all things Clinton. I would love to see Hillary Clinton get trounced at the polls by Condi Rice, but, truly,...

    It's the ultimate inside-the-Beltway fantasy, a political tease too titillating to surrender, because it ends with the prospect of two women running against one another for president of the United States in 2008. [snip] Scenario One: Democrats rally around Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) as their presidential candidate in 2008, after she is reelected in a roar from New York in 2006. President Bush attempts to preempt Hillary's expected star-power run with a trump card of his own, naming national security advisor Condoleezza Rice as his vice presidential running mate in 2004. Bush-Rice triumphs at the polls, making Rice the first...

    When I was 16 - an overworked and harried high school senior trying to graduate and get on to college - she was 10. I remember her as the proper, well-behaved daughter of a popular local minister - a light- brown-skinned girl with button teeth, in the Birmingham, Ala., of the mid -'60s. Her childhood was similar to mine: She excelled in school, skipped several grades, attended church and Sunday school, took piano and dance lessons, was always asked to perform when relatives and friends came to visit, and strove to please her parents. Like mine, her parents did what...
