U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Dec. 10, 2007 (Getty Images)W00T's up?
When Condoleezza Rice became secretary of state, American foreign policy went in a new direction. New York Times correspondent Elizabeth Bumiller, author of a new biography of Rice’s life, explains. And: are you a locavore? How very leet of you. We talk to the editor-at-large of the Oxford English Dictionary about the new words of 2007. Also, a preview of the Mitchell Report on steroids and baseball, and where people go to get their work done.
