		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading a book (The Grace of Silence) by Michele Norris,  journalist and NPR (National Public Radio) commentator.  It&#8217;s a memoir in which she tries to address the issue of race in America.  Yes, we do have an African-American president, but that still hasn&#8217;t made it that much easier for serious conversations about race [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just finished reading a book about the roundup of Jews in Paris in July of 1942.  I must admit that I was quite shocked.  Certainly I knew about the occupation of Paris during World War II and about the collaboration of the Vichy government.  And, I knew that French Jews had been sent to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Sunday, Oakland, California, hosted a running festival.  Oakland is across the bay from San Francisco and adjacent to where I live.  Often Oakland is in the news for its high number of homicides, but this week the city was in the news for a stellar running event. My friend Bruce was running the marathon [...]]]></description>

Two California cities, Crescent City and Santa Cruz, were especially affected.  Crescent City is in the north part of the state, close to the [...]]]></description>

This holiday is observed in honor of two American presidents – specifically George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Both men had birthdays in February. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think what I noticed most about last night&#8217;s speech was the difference in tone from last year&#8217;s State of the Union address.  This year the event seemed so much more subdued, maybe even more calm.  That was probably the result of the attempted assassination on one of Congress&#8217;s own members, Gabby Giffords. Both Obama&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Americans will have tomorrow off as a holiday to celebrate the work of  Martin Luther King, Jr. Using tactics like those of Gandhi, he courageously led the American civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.  In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.

First reports said that the Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords had been killed.  I was horrified.  I could not leave the computer and kept checking for [...]]]></description>
