All of which suggests that President Clinton won't be able to claim ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as part of his legacy, for the simple reason that it won't have ended.

Instead, she combines an archaeologist's reverence for the land's past, an environmentalist's concern for its future and an artist's appreciation of its present to create a new kind of public space...
