David Manning finds trouble wherever he goes. A week into his present job--special foreign policy adviser to the Prime Minister--he went to Washington to introduce himself to the US administration. He decided to fit in a couple of meetings in New York before returning to London. From his window seat of the shuttle as he flew over Staten Island, he saw smoke coming from the first tower of the World Trade Center. He had no idea what was going on.
