...giant leap. For the peace process, not quite a small step. Before his election as Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu had sworn he would never deign to meet Yasser Arafat, a man he considered little more than a terrorist. Last week, however, Netanyahu was finally nudged into a handshake with the Palestinian leader. It was an enormous psychological hurdle for the Israeli leader. His Palestinian partners, though, felt as if they were beginning a relationship from scratch...

While Netanyahu praised the goal of assuring the "security and well being...
...Carville as an antidote to the resident genius' screwier ideas. He saves Morris--and Clinton by extension--from crashing and burning. On the night of the Israeli election, when the race was too close to call but exit polls had Prime Minister Shimon Peres in front of challenger Benjamin Netanyahu, Morris wanted Clinton to go in front of the TV cameras to congratulate Peres on his victory, which would have been a blunder of Dewey-beats-Truman proportions. Stephanopoulos quietly killed the idea...
