  <description><![CDATA[  After the Columbine tragedy, one faction held guns responsible for the slaughter, and another blamed the culture. Since the guns question has been debated into the ground, I confine myself here to the culture question.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/32288/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  The 2000 presidential campaign has already begun--a little early for my taste. The speech writers are busily at work spinning out their anodyne alliterations, their balanced bromides, their cautious clarion calls. They have already produced for George W. Bush "Compassionate Conservatism" and "Prosperity with a Purpose." Al Gore seems to be ditching "Reinventing Government," "Inventing the Internet," "Global Warming," "The Third Way," and all those other nerdy notions. He is aiming directly at the soft American heart by offering himself as the "Friend of the Family."<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/30721/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  Coming to work on the bus the other day, I sat across the aisle from a woman who was probably in her 50s. She was plain looking and plainly dressed. I guessed her to be a household worker. Her slip was showing. That is not unusual. What struck me was that the hem of her slip was lace.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/28629/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  After all these years I am still amazed at the persistence of people in believing things that are unproved or that are more complicated than they realize. My most recent example is Pay Equity Day, called to protest the fact that women's pay is only 74 percent of men's. Pay Equity Day was April 8. Perhaps you missed it.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/25626/?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=2211" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=2211" border="0" vspace="5" /></a><!--AD END-->  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  A year ago I was living in a $150,000 apartment, which I owned. It was a small, two-room apartment. Now I am living in a $175,000 apartment, which I own. It is also a small two-room apartment. In fact, it is the same apartment, although a little shabbier. A year ago I could have sold the apartment for $150,000. Now I can sell it for $175,000.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/22191/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>
