The air in the Rose Garden was otherwise unmistakably thick: Bush aides who normally cram the colonnade . to see famous faces stayed defiantly in their cubicles; a Bush press officer curtly warned his Clinton counterpart that the boxwood and the decorative cabbage plants were a no-spin zone.

...talks in the absence of a complete halt in settlement building. Egypt showed the most enthusiasm. After his tete-a-tete with Rabin, President Hosni Mubarak lauded Israel's "good step on the right track."
