...success King Hussein had as a force for peace in the past five years was remarkable; in failing health, the signing of a 1994 treaty with Yitzhak Rabin and his quiet hand behind both the Palestinians and the Israelis at the Wye River accord--his frail hand the crucial fourth at the signing table--showed a resolve to not let past mistakes prevent future triumph. "Our king," Clinton called him at a prayer breakfast Thursday, which must always seem a strange phrase out an American president's mouth. Yet Clinton was right that he was our king: In the past...

King Hussein is especially beloved here for his emotional speech at the death of his friend and colleague Yitzhak Rabin and, in an occasion less well known outside Israel, his visit to comfort the families of seven Israeli schoolchildren killed by a Jordanian soldier.

The New York Post called it an "icy graveyard brush-off." And yet as Air Force One prepared to take off from Ben Gurion Airport early Tuesday evening, returning to Washington and the impeachment ordeal, Congressman Sander Levin encountered the First Lady as he made his way back to his cabin. She talked for 15 minutes about the history that her husband had made...
