Quiet Little Revealed on Second Day of Summit President Clinton meets with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, left, at Camp David, Maryland, on the second day of the Mideast summit.
Negotiations continue despite troubles at home.
There has been real engagement among the parties. Mindful of news leaks that have plagued Mideast summits in the past, the White House has stressed that no information would be forthcoming about the substance of the talks. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat are meeting at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains. And I think the best thing to do is allow the parties to try to work through those differences. The White House emphasized the difficulty of trying to narrow differences that have led to more than a half-century of conflict.
