I recall the morning of September 11th 2001. I was director of IPPR and we employed an intern from New York who was that day helping us organise a conference. I vividly remember her shock and distress when I took her to one side to describe - as best I could - what was unfolding in her home town. (As an aside, it is interesting to recall that just ten years ago - before mobile phones and laptops were routinely connected to the internet - it was possible for people to go some hours before being aware that a major world event had occurred. Now, everyone would know within minutes.)
