 The Globalist | Global Culture -- We Are the World: Super Bowl XXXIX
It is present in the declarations of radio and television broadcasters when they give dramatic emphasis by saying that "the whole world" is watching some event, whether it is a vote on some reality TV show — or the outcome of a criminal trial.
It isn't the biggest in the world, because Russia and China are both much bigger, but it is big enough to get lost in — and to take care of almost every conceivable cultural, social, economic and political need of Americans.
At the very least, the fact that relatively few Americans have links with the rest of the world — despite the waves of recent immigrants from large parts of the world — means that they end up having little understanding of it, or sympathy for it.

 Amazon.com: The Golden Bowl (Oxford World's Classics): Books: Henry James,Virginia Llewellyn Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The subject of "The Golden Bowl" is the reciprocal marriages of father and daughter, to a pair of former lovers.
There are at least two movie adaptations of James's "The Golden Bowl" that I'm aware of: a recent one (2000) with Nick Nolte and Uma Thurman (generally regarded as tiresome), and a colossally inept and nauseating BBC version from, I think, 1972.
In defense of this, I can only say that the elegance of the prose itself evokes the elegance of James's world, yet there is something sinister lurking underneath the prose; in the same way that, I submit, James is suggesting that something sinister is lurking under the superficialities of this high-hushed world.
