The all-or-nothing, in-your-face politics of the street was uncomfortable for someone from a family who didn't like conflict of any kind.

Leaks from the delegations suggest Arafat has twice gestured toward the door, ordering his aides to pack their bags on Saturday night and trying to phone U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan early Tuesday to tell him the talks had failed. Now, Israel radio reports Barak is planning to go home Wednesday evening with no deal. But while the others are threatening to leave, President Clinton has delayed his scheduled...
