...Wang and her colleagues from Pittiglio Rabin Todd & McGrath arrive at 8 p.m. for their "team dinner." They are disturbingly punctual, a characteristic I note on my list of consultant stereotypes, along with "overachiever" and "talks in bullet-points." Wang, the "business analyst" and most junior member of the team, chose the restaurant and puts the blame on Zagat's when Tom, the "project director" makes fun of the fancy French decor...
...Yitzhak Rabin risked - and lost - his life for the Oslo Accord, and President Clinton hopes his memory will inspire Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak to take the giant steps required to complete the peace process. But it may take more than even Rabin's inspirational example, commemorated by Arafat, Barak and Clinton in a ceremony in the Norwegian capital Tuesday, to spur progress in the troubled march to peace.

Barak's government counters that whatever Rabin offered was hypothetical, and the only way to strike a deal is to resume the bargaining. Syria may eventually agree. "Assad...
...Nava Barak discussed their own shared interests in women's health issues. Clinton took the couple on a stroll through Camp David, which figures so prominently in Israeli history. As he showed them the cabin where the Camp David accords were negotiated, the two men shared recollections of Rabin. Shortly after 1 a.m., the party retired, their friendship cemented and their historic mission clear, locked up by Barak's assurance that Israel was prepared to make "painful compromises" for peace...
