When Clinton invited the 42 members and partners of NATO to Washington for a 50th birthday party, he envisaged a glittering capstone to his diplomatic legacy, grandly positioning the alliance as the bigger, broader 21st century mainstay of pan-European security.

Even with a drummer and percussionist playing simultaneously, the sounds were never muddled and Wilson's voice was never muscled into the background...
