Holbrooke Seen As Top Kerry Pick";No one is picking out their curtains yet, but speculation about who might fill the top foreign-policy positions in a John Kerry presidency already is intense,"; the
Los Angeles Times reports.
Early handicapping focuses on three names for Kerry's Secretary of State: Former U.N. Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) and former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger.
"Several Democrats close to Kerry place Holbrooke, 62, now vice chairman in the same private-investment firm as James Johnson, the director of Kerry's vice-presidential search, as the foreign-policy thinker the Massachusetts
senator looks to first."
