		<description><![CDATA[On the night of April 18, three days after the Boston Marathon bombing, a side-drama to that story unfolded between three men as they criss-crossed the city, a performance staged partly in the theater of culture.

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a dumb thing you should never do: watch the 007 caper &#8220;You Only Live Twice&#8221; with your feminist American girlfriend — a woman of color to boot. In a series renowned for its sexism, the Japan entry takes the biscuit. My date night was first upset as Bond is massaged in a bathhouse [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had been warned of the &#8220;Circus,&#8221; yet still I was unprepared. A vast lecture hall, students scattered, some of their chats undisturbed by the start of class.
