Even the summit's death seemed odd. It came at 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Saeb Erakat, a top aide to Yasser Arafat, walked into the living room of Aspen Lodge, where Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and National Security Adviser Sandy Berger sat, and read them a letter from the Palestinian leader.
