Success is counted sweetest/By those who ne'er succeed. To comprehend a nectar/Requires sorest need," famously wrote Emily Dickinson. Success and its sweetness struck me recently after seeing the "The King's Speech.

We accompany him to sessions with a speech therapist, experience the series of events that bring him to the throne in 1936 and agonize with him as he gives the speech to his subjects and the world regarding Britain's declaration of war against Germany.

It was the worst day in the history of the Washington Redskins - far worse than their 73-0 rout by the Chicago Bears in the NFL championship game 364 days earlier or the losses that would come decades later in Super Bowls VII and XVIII. This day brought a victory for the team but a terrible defeat for the nation. The date was Dec. 7, 1941 - "a date that will live in infamy" President Franklin D. Roosevelt called it the following day when he asked Congress for a declaration of war against Japan. Later that week, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. All told, the toll from Pearl Harbor was 119 ships sunk or damaged and 2,300 deaths.

The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. ... We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. ... We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them. These were the words spoken by President Wilson on April 2, 1917, before a joint session of Congress to seek a declaration of war against Germany. These words could be spoken today by President Bush. In fact, in a similar formulation, these words have already been spoken by our 43rd president.

A plan to exhibit the Enola Gay at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum (NASM) renewed debates about the morality of the bombing of Hiroshima, which ended World War II at the cost of thousands of civilian lives. The plan has also focused attention on the changing role of the NASM. Originally a museum that celebrates the technical achievements of Americans, the NASM has become in the 1990s a venue for critical and interpretive exhibits highlighting social issues. Public funding and the viewpoint of the Smithsonian secretary have also influenced the character of the Smithsonian's exhibits.

In addition to the large decisions and actions that drove the Nazi genocide, the history of the Holocaust includes a number of small-scale "episodes"--initiatives, transactions, scenarios, confluences--which, although sounding now in a minor key, reflect in their combination of improbability, cruelty, and (often) irony the harsh and arbitrary edges of the larger atrocity of which they are part. Here, Lang describes the improbability and irony figure of Theodore N. Kaufman's works that illuminated the spotlight not of local but of world history.
