When Claude Monet painted The Terrace at Ste. Adresse in 1866, he was a young unknown of 25, visiting at the family villa outside Le Havre. There he painted his father sunning on a poppy-laden terrace with pennants flapping overhead and the bustling harbor beyond. To critics today, the painting's brilliant colors seem to mark a historic moment, the "thrusting open of French doors to the whole world of light outside."

They claimed the backing of another 25 to 30 Center Union members. If true, it would cut Papandreou's hard core to fewer than 120 Deputies...
...plan was out of order, and the French might have gotten a garbled version. This did not alter the fact that there is a blanket prohibition against foreign air photos of French soil without permission of the government; even when the U.S. wanted photos of the American cemetery at Ste.-Mère-Eglise last year, it had to get approval...
