Even then I knew, right in the gut of me, that was the end of the Eighties. Everybody knows when the Nineties ended. But even before that, there were signs erupting like night flares: blackouts in California, on the East Coast–praise be to Allah for showing the Americans what it’s like, even if only for a few…
