Stressing the role of hope and persistence in peace negotiations, U.S.
special envoy to the Middle East, former Senator George J. Mitchell,
told a standing-room crowd in Colby College's Lorimer Chapel Oct. 22,

in my adult lifetime we have a president who placed this high on the
agenda right at the beginning of his term, not at the end," he said.
"That's a huge factor."
