“I had an arrow pin that looked like a missile, and when we were negotiating the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Russians, the Russian foreign minister asked, ‘Is that one of your missile interceptors you’re wearing?’ And I responded, ‘Yes. We make them very small. Let’s negotiate.’ Or, after we found that the Russians had planted a listening device—a ‘bug’—into a conference room near my office in the State Department, the next time I saw the Russians, I wore this huge bug. They got the message.”—Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State under Bill Clinton, describing her non-verbal style of negotiating, quoted in Megan Gambino, “Interview: Q&A,” Smithsonian, June 2010
