In the book, Rice's best friend, Stanford University's Prof. Coit Blacker, relates what happened when she went to buy jewelry and the saleswoman brought her cheap earrings from the display: "Let's get one thing straight," Rice told the sales clerk, "You're behind the counter because you have to work for the minimum wage. I'm on this side because I make considerably more." The store manager quickly brought her the expensive earrings. The lesson of the story is clear: The secretary of state knows how to get what she wants, by force if necessary.
