    Triumph and Tragedy

    It has been said that the only thing assured in life is change. In the last week Britons went from celebrating the Live 8 concert, hosting the G 8 Summit, to winning the 2012 bid for the Olympics, to being hit with multiple bombings in the London transportation system. Monday on the Brian Lehrer Show The Economist’s Adrian Wooldridge examines the results of the G 8 Summit, the effects of terrorism on George Bush’s allies and the potential of Chief Rehnquist’s resignation.
