It was a fantastic posting, and this past November, I was absolutely delighted to receive an MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order […]

In some ways, it feels presumptuous for me to write about the tenth anniversary of 9/11. At the time of the attacks, I wasn’t here yet – my posting in New York didn’t begin until 2008. It seems like so much has been written by people better qualified to reflect on the last ten years. However, […]
