Ted Johnson reports that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has signed with the William Morris Agency, the first step in what is being called the “reinvention and evolution” of her career. Dr. Rice will focus on books, lecture appearances, philanthropic activities and “new business initiatives in the media, sports and communications sectors.” She will be represented by WMA chief Jim Wiatt and Wayne Kabak. The agency currently represents House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Byron Dorgan, Sen. Jim Webb and former Sen. Fred Thompson. In the past, William Morris has represented former President Gerald Ford and his wife Betty, Gov. Mitt Romney and Sen. John Edwards.
Dr. Rice will be writing two books: One will focus on her diplomatic career, and the other will be about her parents, the Rev. John Wesley Rice Jr. and Angelena Ray, whom her daughter has referred to as “educational evangelists” for their influence on pursuing academic excellence.
