		<description><![CDATA[&#160; When I was 10 years old, a high school friend took me to the AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park.

		<description><![CDATA[“My relationship to meat? I eat it,” said Jordan Clark (’12). As Jordan shares her simple and straightforward attitude towards meat-eating, both she and I are put at ease. This statement presents nothing uncomfortable or objectionable. Until you remember that when you eat meat, you are eating an animal. A creature that once lived, breathed, and [...]]]></description>

Until her death from cancer in September, Maathai, a Kenyan woman, used the simple act of planting trees to alleviate complicated problems of poverty, malnutrition, and unemployment in her country.

But something that can only be seen by an outside eye lies in plain sight: there is a lack of substantive discourse in the school and also the city of San Francisco as well. How can we expect to have debates and discussions that have any substance [...]]]></description>

It was 9/11 and I was standing in the Giants’ dugout, watching the Giants manager speak listlessly to reporters who swarmed around him like vultures as he perched in the dugout for a pre-game interrogation.
