Hillary Clinton In The Record Books

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will make the record books this week with her visit to eastern Europe. USA Today reported her Thursday visit to Latvia will mark the 100th country she has traveled to during her tenure. That breaks former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's previous record of 96 countries and surpasses her immediate predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, who went to only 88 countries. But, while former Secretary Rice visited fewer countries, she traveled more, logging more than 1 million miles as the nation's top diplomat. Clinton has yet to reach 800,000. Secretary Clinton credits good stamina and interesting work with helping her recover from jet lag.
