...meeting in the town hall of South London's Brixton neighborhood, community leaders voiced grief and rage over the Jan. 2 murder of two black teenage girls in Birmingham. "The horrendous barbarity of this crime ... left me feeling quite sick," said chairman Lee Jasper, a race-relations adviser to London Mayor Ken Livingstone. At a Whitehall summit called by Home Secretary David Blunkett, politicians, bureaucrats and police officers expressed grave concern over the latest crime statistics.

This was the year when the grief started to lift and the worries came in. During the first weeks of 2002, two dark moods entered the room, two anxieties that rattled down everybody's nerve paths, even on good days, and etched their particulars into the general disposition. To begin with, after Sept. 11, the passage of time drew off the worst of the pain, but every month or so there came a new disturbance--an orange alert, a dance-club bombing in Bali, a surface-to-air missile fired at a passenger jet--that showed us the beast still...
