...freewheeling Young had demonstrated an extraordinary capacity to ride out and survive the controversies that he generated. But this time there was no stilling the uproar when it was learned that Young had met with an official of the Palestine Liberation Organization, in violation of repeatedly stated U.S. policy, and then deliberately misled the Department of State about the meeting...
...soon clear that Young had become too great a liability for a White House that has been striving to demonstrate that it is capable of national leadership. Not only had Young's deception gravely embarrassed Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, but the meeting with the P.L.O. had enraged Israel and threatened to derail U.S. diplomacy in the Middle East.

This was the first that Foggy Bottom had heard of the matter and Young was asked for an explanation. His story: he had been out strolling with his son, decided to stop in to see Bishara, and there accidentally found Terzi, with whom he engaged in nothing more than "15 or 20 minutes of social amenities." Later, when this account was branded a lie, Young did some semantic acrobatics. "I did not lie, I didn't tell...
