		<description><![CDATA[Been watching the Sunday talking heads on CNN again this morning, and I don&#8217;t get it&#8211;why do Democrats allow the right to frame the debate over jobs and taxes with a rhetorical fallacy? Specifically, the big Republican talking point is to say that raising taxes on &#8220;small businesses&#8221; (code for individuals with the highest incomes) [...]]]></description>

Inside a plain white envelope was a mysterious dot-matrix computer print-out on striped paper with perforated edges, and the meticulously-crafted graphic message [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[here is my recipe, along with a rough comparison with Bach/Lehman and Vallotti--for ease of use with an electronic tuner, written in cents deviation from equal temperament.

		<description><![CDATA[Toward a tuning strategy for large Baroque ensembles so we were rehearsing &#8220;Nun ist das Heil und die Kraft&#8221; (BWV 50) in Boston this week.
