		<description><![CDATA[Recently I finished reading &#8220;Orlando&#8221; by Virginia Woolf. The following quote is somewhat off the general drift of the book&#8217;s theme but is something that keeps coming to mind.
&#8216;No passion is stronger in the breast of man than the desire to make others believe as he believes. Nothing so cuts at the root of his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes being the father of an eighth grader can lead to some new insights into familiar subjects. Case in point &#8211; the Gettysburg address. What I did not know before is that there are a number of different versions, i.e. five manuscripts with slight variations.
The version carved in stone at the Lincoln Memorial begins

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting article in the New Yorker about the Mass-Observation movement in England from 1937 to 1945, which I never knew about before (but then there&#8217;s a lot I don&#8217;t know).
&#8216;
The first to daydream about an â€œanthropology of ourselvesâ€ was Charles Madge, a young man with a long face, slender fingers, beautiful manners, and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Robert Burns and Virginia Woolf were born on January 25. Colette and I have January 28. And on January 29 we have Germaine Greer, the controversial feminist.
&#8216;Love, love, love &#8211; all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was so impressed with the Effie&#8217;s Club Follies show Thursday, May 25, 2006 at the Georgia Theatre that I did a little research (google) on burlesque. I found out about Lydia Thompson and Ralph Allen and lots of stuff I never knew before.

		<description><![CDATA[This month Lewis discusses how hurricane Katrina is a windfall for Halliburton. The bitterness is palpable, and shared by me. &#8220;In Wahington at the moment we have a government owned and operated by a rapacious oligarcy that seeks to privatize &#8211; i.e. appropriate or destroy &#8211;  the public infrastructure.&#8221;
