"The reaction in Britain to the attacks in New York and Washington has been
uniquely intense, as if the terrorists had struck in London. The BBC has
sent most of its staff to New York, while the newspaper coverage has been
far greater than in America. In the New York Times or the Washington Post
you will look in vain for special supplements or an increase in pages. This
is partly because Britain has a more vibrant newspaper culture than the
United States, but it is more than that. Britain, or an influential part of
Britain, has become more American than America itself."
