...austere International Style of architects like Le Corbusier, and I should have considered the Paris Opéra to be inflated and vulgar. Instead, as I walked into that gilded whale, I felt like Jonah being swallowed by the great fish.

The Times editorial page, which has been fiercely critical for years about Whitewater and other Clinton scandals, forgives all of that now. Edifyingly, the capacity...
