At the close of World War I, the leaders of the war's victorious nations, American President Woodrow Wilson, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George and French Premier Georges Clemenceau, met in Versailles, France, to discuss a peace treaty that would formally end the war, decide the fate of the war's main loser, Germany, and hopefully construct a lasting peace in Europe. The result - the Treaty of Versailles - did none of those things, in part because Wilson, who originally wanted a treaty that went easy on Germany, was unable to counter Britain's Lloyd George, and especially France's Clemenceau, who wanted to teach Germany a lesson by imposing the harshest terms possible.

PARIS - A recent visit to the Musee de l'Orangerie in Paris was a joy. When I had tried to see Claude Oscar Monet's famous waterlily paintings in 2005, I was disappointed that the museum had been closed for a renovation, which had begun in 2000. Now the finished construction allows natural light to flow through the glass ceiling, illuminating the soothing water garden paintings and creating a calm, meditative oasis in what is normally a busy, noisy city. Between 1918 and his death in 1926, Monet created and continually reworked his "Water Lilies" series, known in France as the "Nympheas." Each of the eight paintings is six-feet, six-inches tall and they vary from 19 feet to 55 feet long. The museum curators arranged them in two oval rooms - four paintings in each. Laid out east to west,...

President Bush will be either one of America's most significant presidents or one of its great failures. His inaugural address, as well as his State of the Union speech, point the way toward massive, radical conservative change at home as well as overseas. If he succeeds in remaking the political map in the Middle East and reforming Social Security, one of the country's great social and moral triumphs, he will have made his mark in history. If he accomplishes neither, his failure will be of historic proportions. So which is it to be? Triumph or disaster? That the president is determined, there is no doubt. But does he realize the challenge he has set for himself? And for his country?
