Changes

Although [[Timothy Garton Ash]] is my political opponent, I’ve always admired his wealth of precise observations and found him a reliable source on the vicissitudes of post-[[Communist]] [[Eastern Europe]]. In his new book, <i>The Free World: America, Europe and the Suprising Future of the West</i>, [[Ash]] applies his signature bitterly witty approach to the growing tensions between key [[Western Europe]]an [[state]]s and the [[United States]]. His aperçus about the relations among the [[United Kingdom]], [[France]] and [[Germany]] recall the gentle irony of a novel of manners, giving a new twist to the old topic of “[[European trinity]].”
