		<title>Still life with border</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I passed through southern Arizona last week and called up Shaine Parker. He lives in the little border town Douglas, and a couple of years ago he spent several months, full time on a grant, gathering into big, plastic garbage bags what undocumented immigrants throw out on their secret treks north. Shaine said he would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Queens of Heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Jan Haaken is a woman for all seasons. Not only does she teach psychology   at Portland State U. in Oregon, but she&#8217;s got a radio political talk show in that city, a psychotherapy practice informed by serious Freud and serious feminism, and a flowering career as a film producer and director.

		<title>Mort Miracle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Morten and I were at Bed, Bath &#38; Beyond last night looking for Christmas cookie tins so he can send out his homemade Norwegian baked goodies to friends and family &#8212; including Scandos, boricuas, DR&#8217;s, and Jews. While he was poking through the shelves I spied a Martha-Stewart-fancy dreydl and took it over to show [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sex-Panic Death of Operation Santa Claus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[






Santa Claus is dead! At least, the charity Santa who was born during the first Gilded Age, and whose fantasies about the poor fueled Operation Santa Claus, an enormous, Victorian-mentality  welfare program run for decades from the giant Post Office at 33rd Street and 8th Avenue in New York City. 
Yesterday, three months after [...]]]></description>

		<title>Under the Volcano</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just made another work trip to Mexico, starting with the bracing metropolitan capital then heading to aching little villages in the South. The US State Department has a travel advisory out for Mexico, mainly because of  drug-trafficking related violence on the border. But Americans are avoiding the  interior as well. One still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tchotchkobama</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

This summer I was at the Carnavalet, a museum in Paris that reprises that city&#8217;s history, with emphasis on the events of 1789-1799. The coolest thing there is the   collection of French Revolution tchotchkes &#8212; everything from sans culottes paper dolls to lumpily glazed plates and mugs celebrating &#8220;Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité,&#8221; as well [...]]]></description>

		<title>A day with the traders, a night with Naomi Klein</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I knew it would be standing room only at the Nation&#8217;s and the Brecht Forum&#8217;s &#8220;Emergency Forum on the Economy,&#8221; on Friday night. So I made plans to go downtown early. I decided to drop by the New York Stock Exchange first, to gauge the mood on Wall Street.
I arrived in late afternoon. The market [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Enemy, My Stocks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a must-read from the wonderful writer  Judith Levine, about how Wall Street is as irresistible to Americans as wife beaters are to women:
For a girl who grew up in a communist family, this month&#8217;s events should be cause for fireworks. As Marx predicted, the self-sown seeds of capitalism&#8217;s own destruction are spreading tendrils [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wall Street Crash Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In &#8220;Born-Again Democracy,&#8221; a comment in the Oct. 20 issue of The Nation, William Greider notes that &#8220;Our country is at a rare and dangerous juncture. The old order is crumbling, and virtually all the centers of power that govern us have been discredited by events&#8230;Given that political paralysis, people have to find their own [...]]]></description>

This reminds me of how Sarah&#8217;s trotted her kids out. Not just their bodies and faces but their names, which Mom flashes like  medals (go to CafePress.com and [...]]]></description>
