Madeleine Albright's pin-diplomacy
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is not only famous for becoming the first woman ever to hold the post, but also for her penchant for pins.
Her famous brooches sent a message to dictators, presidents, and foreign ministers.
It's the focus of her new book, "Read My Pins."
Our John Roberts had a chance to talk with Secretary Albright yesterday at New York's Museum of Arts and Design where more than 200 of her most important pins are on display.
A sample of pins from Secretary Albright's book:
Blue Bird, Anton Lachmann (Austria), c. 1880; Katie’s Heart, Katie Albright (USA), 1972; Serpent, Designer Unknown (USA), c. 1860
