Blimey!........
......a very sad loss. His regular feature on BBC Radio four called "Letter from America" is one of the longest running shows in radio history. The show has become part of the fabric of English life, its very hard to accept the fact that he will not be broadcasting again.
His insights in to American life, and international affairs in general have been enlightening and thought provoking, I have always looked forward to listening when ever I can. They are sometimes comforting, sometimes amusing and sometimes challenging, but always intelligent, informed and engaging.
A great loss to both the U.S. and the U.K.
