...Cheney was a major factor in encouraging Robert Zoellick, a forceful conservative realist, to become Rice's Deputy Secretary-which may be a sign of new vice presidential wisdom as well. Philip Zelikow, who won praise as executive director of the 9/11 commission, will probably serve as Rice's counselor.
