A. A variation on the musical term "con dolcezza" apparently!

Cool. Did you know that Condoleeza Rice apparently learnt to read music at the age of 3 and at one stage planned a career as a concert pianist?!

That's fantastic.  The world needs more politicians that are also musicians.

If only her diplomacy was performed "con dolcezza"!  Sadly, it's not.  She's more "con fuoco" IMO.  No parent wants to think of their little girl as "con fuoco," but had they, she would have ended up with a very different name!   ;)
