Working without pay, he juggled peacemaking with his regular job as a Washington lawyer, while navigating family crises, including his brother's death, his wife's miscarriage and the birth of their first child in October. After the pact was finalized, there was another area of agreement--for what Blair called the "infinite patience and kindness" of Mitchell.
