From today's Boston Globe:
Communications between adversaries are a proud American tradition. Ronald Reagan, in meeting with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, paved the way for mutual nuclear arms reductions and limitations. The desirability of meetings between adversaries won President Jimmy Carter a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Menachem Begin together at Camp David; won President Teddy Roosevelt a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing Russia and Japan together over Manchuria and Korea in 1905; won Ralph Bunche, a distinguished American United Nations official, a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing the Arabs and Israelis together for their first armistice in 1949; and almost won President Bill Clinton a Nobel Peace Price for his effort to bring the Israelis and Palestinians together at Camp David in 2000.
