...five months since the Zarchis began their activities in Cambridge, their efforts have been met with the enthusiasm of students and faculty alike.

This was already a major test of Albright's blunt and brassy diplomacy. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat are now so mutually distrustful, so hamstrung by extremist political constituents, that they cannot bear to talk to each other, much less negotiate in good faith.
