Jordan's King of nearly a half-century had always been both a fatalist and an optimist. So after six months of unsuccessful treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hussein bin Talal abruptly anointed as successor a little-known son, Abdullah, who promised the failing monarch "to follow in your footsteps...
Although Hassan was plainly galled by his brother's decision, he quickly affirmed his loyalty to the new heir. Abdullah, designated regent while his father struggles to overcome non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, pledged to Hussein to "follow in your footsteps." U.S. officials privately called him "a chip off the old block," and Israel reacted without alarm.

For an hour afterward, his eloquence lifted the mood. When it waned, Clinton tried his own stagecraft.
