A bug pin by Iradj Moini worn in 1999
There was a story behind every choice. I wore a bee when I was talking to [president of the Palestinian Authority] Yasser Arafat, because bees sting and I needed to deliver a sharp message. And when we found out that the Russians had been bugging the State Department, we did what diplomats do, which is démarche Moscow. But the next time I met with the Russian foreign minister, I wore a huge bug pin, and he knew exactly what I was referencing.
