Here’s the piece on London for New Jersey’s Bergen Record, which they requested yesterday. It’s not a brilliant piece of work — written on a very tight deadline, for the paper’s very mainstream audience — but it gives a general overview of the mood, as I caught it, in the immediate aftermath of the bombing. The paper’s headline is a bit off; there was an indomitable spirit at work, but there wasn’t that much visible "rubble," as three of the bombs were underground. Anyway, here it is, written about eight hours after the attacks.
