Throughout her diplomatic career, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright used pins to express her moods and opinions. As Secretary of State, Albright was deeply involved in peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Here, Albright listened in while PA president Arafat spoke to President Clinton on the phone, during their meeting at Arafat’s office in Gaza, in the West Bank, on September 3, 1993. “I wore a bee when I was talking to Yasser Arafat, because bees sting and I needed to deliver a sharp message,” Albright said.
