Arafat to attend summit
Egypt bows out of conference
WASHINGTON — President Clinton's politically risky Mideast summit lost an Arab participant yesterday when Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak bowed out, but Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat sent word he would attend.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered to continue negotiations with the Palestinians until all obstacles to a peace accord were resolved. He said that he and Arafat would be directly involved in such negotiations.
The Associated Press
Secretary of State Warren Christopher said, "It's clear to me that the Middle East peace process is in a state of crisis."
Mubarak's rejection of Clinton's invitation to participate in the summit was unlikely to seriously affect chances of defusing tensions on the West Bank and in Gaza or on American efforts to launch Israeli-Palestinian negotiations on a permanent peace agreement.
Peacemaking is like riding a bicycle, Christopher said: "You have to keep going forward."
But the administration looked to him as a steadying influence — Egypt was the first Arab country to agree to peace with Israel — and as a potential supporter of whatever agreements might emerge from the talks set to open today.
However, Arafat shook off Egyptian suggestions that he seek a delay and advised American mediator Dennis Ross that he would arrive today after meeting with European foreign ministers in Luxembourg. The allies have stood behind the Palestinians in their conflict with Israel, triggered by Israel's opening a tourist tunnel that passes the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
"I think the fact that President Clinton took the step to call this session, to invite the leaders here, reflects the seriousness and gravity of this moment. There was no alternative because the alternative was quite clearly a fundamental, grave risk to the process itself," he said.
"I don't know what the result of the summit will be," Burns said. "None of us do."
"Our expectation is he is coming tonight, and we look forward to it," said State Department Spokesman Nicholas Burns of Arafat. "We understand there was some hesitation."
Mubarak was sending Foreign Minister Amr Moussa to Washington, but Burns said he wouldn't participate in the negotiations.
But in a phone conversation yesterday, Clinton failed to persuade Mubarak to join King Hussein of Jordan in assisting the negotiations.
Nor was Burns able to assure that Arafat and Netanyahu would meet face to face.
Clinton is embarking on a similar diplomatic adventure.
Summits usually are scripted, with aides working out at least a measure of agreement. However, there have been exceptions.
President Jimmy Carter risked failure in summoning Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Menachem Begin to Camp David in 1978 with no assurance that they would agree on a peace treaty.
"It is rare in this process that we engage at this level, at the highest level, without a preordained outcome," White House Spokesman Mike McCurry said.
Mubarak, who is angry at the Israeli government for its policies, is sending his foreign minister, Amr Moussa. "It would have been preferable to have Mubarak here," he said.
"Peacemaking is likeriding a bicycle. You have to keep moving forward."
Warren Christopher U.S. Secretary of State
The talks are designed to defuse tensions and revive faltering peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority about the future of Jerusalem and Palestinian aspirations for a state with its capital in Jerusalem.
Disney entraps innocent guests
The Associated Press
case. But it never did.
Terri Dorsett, a 17-year-old from Yakkinville, N.C., got a lesson in relentlessness after she visited Disney World with her high school band last year.
She and a few classmates visited a Disney store and were arrested for shoplifting, taken to the security office, fingerprinted and, her father says, prevented from calling anyone. "She was hysterical," said Thomas Dorsett, a North Carolina businessman.
She also was innocent, she said. One of the other girls admitted dropping a $1.98 Mickey Mouse pen into Terri's shopping bag without her knowledge. He said his daughter passed a polygraph test he arranged.
"Disney would not back off," said the family's lawyer, Harrison Slaughter.
Dorsett said he met with prosecutors and Disney officials who seemed sympathetic. He thought for sure the company would drop her
Dorsett spent $15,000 fighting the criminal charge that eventually went to trial. His daughter was acquitted.
Dorsett now has filed a federal civil suit against Disney and says he is convinced that Disney maliciously prosecutes innocent people.
"Mickey Mouse is not the guy we thought he was," he said.
"It's scary what can happen to a child," Dorsett says. "The prosecutor's office, they are scared of Disney. Disney rules that area with an iron fist. It is a joke."
Warren would not comment how Disney's security people nab suspected shoplifters.
"That puts us in the position of educating people we're trying to keep an eye on," he said.
In another case, Vicki Prusnofsky,
a metropolitan New York social worker, made one of her many trips to the park in February 1995 with her daughter and her husband, a psychiatrist. They stayed in their Disney World condominium.
While the other two went to ride little race cars, Prusnofsky — accessorized in Mickey and Minnie earrings, Disney hat and sweatshirt — went to a shop to buy film.
She didn't bother to take her receipt, she said.
"I finally went outside and sat on a bench and started loading the camera," she said. "These two obnoxious security women came after me flashing their badges and saying that I stole the film."
It was roughly 5 p.m. and she was supposed to meet her family at the spinning tea cups in an hour. But the security people would not let her go back into the store so the cashier could vouch for her story, she said.
