CLINTON, William. Selected Remarks. 7 volumes, various dates. FIRST EDITIONS. Two are INSCRIBED BY PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON.
Madeleine Albright worked with President Clinton for more than 30 years, during which time both gave countless speeches and public appearances. In one press conference, while serving as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Albright condemned the acts of the Cuban pilots who shot down unarmed civilian planes over international waters: "This is not cojones, this is cowardice." Recalling the reaction in a later interview, Albright stated: "President Clinton thought it was the best line ever and he sent me down to Miami in order to be part of the ceremony honoring the fallen pilots. And I'm walking into the Orange Bowl, through the tunnel that the [Miami] Dolphins come in, and 60,000 Cubans stood up and said, 'Madame Cojones.'"
Together, 7 works, in original bindings (condition generally fine). Two with presentation inscriptions.
Provenance for the lot: Secretary Madeleine K. Albright’s copies, with bookplates.
