...them took place before he began to run for President, a period during which he had already admitted that he had caused ''pain in my marriage.'' Far more swampy were new suspicions that the Clintons, as First Couple of Arkansas, had somehow acted improperly while a real estate partner ruined a savings and loan institution that eventually cost taxpayers $47 million to bail out. The Justice Department is investigating the now defunct S&L and the Clinton partnership to see whether money from the thrift was diverted to support faltering real estate schemes, including a development company called Whitewater...
...passengers. Patterson and Perry both admit lying about the incident in depositions. One reason it was important for the White House to head off any erosion in public trust is that Clinton may well need it in weeks to come as he faces the questions surrounding former real estate partner James McDougal and the S&L he operated, Madison Guaranty. Clinton joined with McDougal and the two men's wives in a partnership to develop land along the White River.

Just as only a longtime anticommunist like Richard Nixon could convincingly make the opening to China, so only men with the longevity in their conflicts of Rabin, Arafat, De Klerk and Mandela had the credibility to make peace.

Their negotiations at times resembled nothing so much as the conflict they were trying to resolve. Mandela and De Klerk were at each other's throats even as they accepted...
...persuasively and intelligently pursued, can override the rather unimaginative human preference for war. If strong, focused leadership had come from Europe or from Washington, might it have averted the Bosnian bloodbath? If Jean-Bertrand Aristide were a Mandela -- and if he had some equivalent of De Klerk as partner on the other side -- could Haiti have been saved? No one can quantify a negative, but it seems obvious that the absence of leadership -- the opportunities squandered or unenvisioned -- costs the world dearly every day. War is a profound habit -- and sometimes a necessity. When Neville Chamberlain declared ''peace...
