In January 1960, the couple moved to her husband's hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Joseph worked at the "Chicago Sun-Times" as a journalist, and Albright worked as a picture editor for "Encyclopædia Britannica". The following year, Joseph Albright began work at "Newsday" in New York City, and the couple moved to Garden City on Long Island. That year, she gave birth to twin daughters, Alice Patterson Albright and Anne Korbel Albright. The twins were born six weeks premature and required a long hospital stay. As a distraction, Albright began Russian classes at Hofstra University in the Village of Hempstead nearby.
