There's an interesting article at the Times today on the difference between America and Europe. By far the most interesting part of the article are the pictures, which you can look at there on the right.
The article itself is a comparison of the nobility of Europe and the Nobility of America and how they aren't the same. What interesting about the article is the not-so-latent assumption that the European and American Upper Classes are the ones that matter. You can tell that by the way the author starts her fourth paragraph. "It may be a truism to say that Americans and Europeans regard each other with deep ambivalence."
But the pictures are well worth looking at.
