Then the two men and their wives choppered to Camp David for a sleepover. After a chatty, getting-to-know-you fish dinner, the two leaders adjourned for a discussion on a range of issues including terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, while Hillary and Nava Barak discussed their own shared interests in women's health issues.
