Clinton allowed himself to be drawn in as the mediator of first resort, which diminished the gravity of his own interventions - witness the fact that the President spent almost a full week at Wye River in 1998 cajoling Yasser Arafat and Benjamin Netanyahu into a relatively minor set of agreements.

Except for some minor movement in his shoulders, left arm and left hand, he was paralyzed below the neck.
