The Media
While staying at the Sheraton hotel in Chicago at the APSA, I had the television on from time to time in the morning before I went out and in the evening after I came in, tuned to CNN (when I wasn’t trying to catch up with baseball news), with the result that I flew back to England knowing an awful lot about the moment-by-moment progress of hurricane Frances across the state of Florida, and (in comparison) a quite trivial amount about the atrocities in Beslan.
I’m catching up now.
