I get the impression that "special relationship" is a euphemism for co-operation in spying and intelligence. The general public might think it implies wider mutual support, but is there much evidence in the last 70 years of the US supporting the UK when we are doing our own thing?

The Asimov story is wonderfully calming. Thank you.
