"The whole world depends on America ultimately,
particularly Britain. And also, I love
America—a marvelous country. But in a sense
I don't worry about America because I think
America has such huge strengths—particularly
its freedom of thought and expression—that it's
going to survive as a top nation for the foreseeable
future. And therefore take care of the world."
British historian Paul Johnson
in today's Wall St. Journal
