England and the U.S. share a language and intertwined histories, but are still two very different cultures. We use the American perspective to help make sense of English culture -- from the traditional “stiff upper lip,” to modern consumerism. Also: the life of Father Mychal Judge, who died in the 9/11 attacks. Hard-living journalist David Carr on his struggles with drug addiction. And to start us off: a look at the historical and religious basis for the growth of radical Islam.
