		<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[Whatever the astrological meaning of Pluto is (transformation, death and rebirth), we can all agree that its cultural meaning entails the god of the underworld and death in general. How odd then that in the very year that astronomers down-graded Pluto&#8217;s status as a planet, the news for the lastÂ week of the year is dominated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ In an interview with Terry Gross on NPR&#8217;s Fresh Air, Outkast&#8217;s Andre Benjamin described how he sometimes writes songs by recording himself playing guitar and singing &#8220;baby talk&#8221;. He later listens to the recording and figures out what words he was saying.
Speaking in tongues is common among Pentacostals, but is apparently frowned upon by [...]]]></description>

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>

After hearing the new song, &#8220;John the Revelator&#8221; by Depeche Mode, I needed to refresh my memory as to how the original went. I got out my CD box set of &#8220;The Anthology of American Folk Music&#8221; and looking at the cloth-covered LP size box, I was struck by how old it looked. At some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Philip Pullman, author of the &#8220;His Dark Materials&#8221; trilogy, doesn&#8217;t think much of his fellow Oxfordian authors J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. He makes several comments about them in this New Yorker article. He does concede that â€œThe â€˜Narniaâ€™ books are a real wrestle with real things.â€
