I don't know about anyone else, but I think the world I knew ended a few days ago and a new one began. I'm trying to understand the new one and figure out how to deal with it. At this point many of the facts of the new world are still obscure. A good deal of what I hear -- the tub-thumping, the sentimentalization, the reflections of reflections on the media -- now seem to echo from another room.
