Just after dawn on Oct. 7, we set off on the bone-shaking 15-mile drive to the base of the mountain. From there we headed out on foot across a small dam and then walked along an irrigation canal past rice paddies. Our leisurely stroll ended abruptly when the path veered off through 12-ft.-high, aptly named saw grass.

But his stroll over the Allenby Bridge spanning the River Jordan, which marks the border, made the equally telling point that both sides are loath to come together. The two Jordanian officers who accompanied the Secretary midway across the bridge and the waiting Israeli escort spoke not a word to one another...
