Although registration is required for her 5:30pm EST joint appointment with Harvard Professor of International Relations Joseph Nye at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and tickets are sold out for her 8pm appearance at Harvard Book Store, there’s certain to be plenty of local media coverage once both engagements are over.

The occasion of Albright’s visit is the January 8th publication of her new book, Memo to the President Elect: How We Can Restore America’s Reputation and Leadership, which comes at a time when hostile opinions of the United States are rampant around the world. Many admirers are looking forward to what Albright has to say on this matter given her longstanding reputation as a dedicated diplomat.

If you’re eager to hear the former United States Ambassador to the United Nations (1993–1997) speak, it still might be possible to do so at the earlier JFK forum. And even if not, anyone who cares to can visit MSNBC to read a nice-sized excerpt from Memo to the President Elect, as well as view video footage recorded during Albright’s appearance on Today last Tuesday.
