  <description><![CDATA[  In poor urban communities, day care centers present themselves as places where "miracles" occur, as places where minority children are given "tender loving care" and can experience "love in action" in an otherwise hard world.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2231154/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  This year Ramadan continues until Sept. 19 and for some Muslims began on Aug. 21. (As Slate explained in 2001, the exact dates vary from country to country and even from mosque to mosque.) During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink during daylight hours.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2228548/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  I used to catch sight of the towers of the World Trade Center when driving north along the New Jersey Turnpike, approaching Elizabeth, a clear sign that home was near. I spotted them from the wildlife refuge in Jamaica Bay, Queens, and from struggling neighborhoods in the Bronx. When I photographed New York City as it appeared from Jersey City, the rational geometry of the towers contrasted with the expressways, factories, railroads, and cemeteries in the foreground. From Crown Heights in Brooklyn, the Twin Towers played second fiddle to the Williamsburg Savings Bank and its gigantic clock.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2226525/?from=rss">more ...</a>]<!--AD BEGIN--><br clear="all" /><a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=4899" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=4899" border="0" vspace="5" /></a><!--AD END-->  ]]></description>
