But there's a strong urge among Israelis to turn their backs on the Palestinians, whose leader rejected at Camp David this summer what they see as a generous offer of about 95% of the land in the West Bank.

He had been drinking beers that night with his sister Dorothy, Australian tennis star John Newcombe and Newcombe's wife. Officer Bridges, just getting off duty, saw Bush's car slipping briefly onto the shoulder before getting back on the road. Bridges stopped the car and asked Bush to take a balloon test. The result: an alcohol level over Maine's 0.10 legal limit. Bush readily admitted...
