In a reflection about time, or lack of it, Peggy Noonan writes about disappearing time, western civilization and living in fear.
“...who do they hate most?... Manhattan, where the economic and media power of the nation resides, the city that is the psychological center of our modernity, our hedonism, our creativity, our hard-shouldered hipness, our unthinking arrogance.”
A strangely prophetic piece; it was written in the summer of 1998, three years before 9/11, and was republished in the Wall Street Journal on 9/18/2001.
