Sad Loss in Britain
If you haven’t heard yet, David Cameron, Tory leader and probable next prime minister of England, lost his 6-year-old son Ivan yesterday. Ivan had a pretty severe form of cerebral palsy, so it wasn’t entirely unexpected, but the news appears to have genuinely shattered much of the country today. The New York Times has a good account. And for the first time in 15 years, they canceled Prime Minister Questions, replacing them with expressions of condolences.
