		<description><![CDATA[Sarkozy seemed to represent a refreshing future for French politics after years dominated by cynical men like Mitterand and Chirac. And he seemed like a man of the moment: Throughout the world there is a growing disgust with the political class — the same gallery of men and women with the same trite ideas and sentimental platitudes, all propped up by media companies that have lost their ability to inform, let alone influence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harry Stein: All thoughtful people want to resolve America’s great historical ailment, racism. But one of the things we’ll have to do if that monumental  enterprise is to have any chance of success is to address honestly the  desperate condition of the urban underclass – not only because it is  the right and moral thing to do, but because as Daniel Patrick  Moynihan so presciently observed, the pathologies that emerge there  eventually take root throughout the rest of society.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harry Stein: Quite simply, whether in ignorance, ideological blindness or simple fear, the media, ever fixated on the racism canard, has doggedly refused to face the harder truths of race in America. Indeed, an excellent case can be made that it is in the racial arena, more than in any other, that its distorted worldview has done the most grievous harm.]]></description>
