		<title>Reconciliation: An Exercize in the Arts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Katherine Wright, &#8216;11
I had slept through the border crossing. My sleepy eyes awoke to snow-capped hills and small farmhouses in the distance, and it seemed as if a fairy tale was unfolding before my eyes. I looked down at my watch to discover that we had been driving long enough to have officially reached [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Perfect Woman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A film by Julia Bleckner &#8216;10
While studying abroad in Hyderabad, India, Julia Bleckner shot a short documentary examining what an ideal woman is in Indian Society. Her conversations with women highlight the widespread use of &#8216;Fair and Lovely&#8217; skin whitening products in India, and how conceptions of beauty, race and marriageability are communicated in Indian [...]]]></description>

		<title>“The Most Interesting Place in the World Is Where You Are Right Now” – A Talk with Stephen Kinzer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Olivia O&#8217;Sullivan
Stephen Kinzer did not like the lectern. Occasionally he would lean against it, casually, as if relating a story among friends, but mostly he walked around, away from, to the side of it – anywhere but neatly in front of it. Similarly, his hands didn’t want to stay still either, gesturing to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Green- A Semester in Freiburg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Michael Fisher, &#8216;11
I would not, by any stretch of the imagination, identify myself as particularly “green”.  When my family and I moved to Los Angeles five years ago, we lovingly embraced the consumer-friendly, car-oriented, perpetually air-conditioned world of Southern California.  At one time—of which I am both equally proud and ashamed to admit—we even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Step(pe) by Step(pe): Kazakhstan&#8217;s Reach for Regional Dominance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Ivelina Georgieva, &#8216;10
Kazakhstan is a country defined by the complex dynamics of Central Asia, a region that proves how impossible it is to not be fascinated by its politics, culture and history.  From the 19th-century Great Game between Great Britain and Russia, to the decades of Imperial Russia, to the years of Russification and [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Tuesday Speaker: Reza Aslan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Oxy hosts few speakers in Thorne Hall like Reza Aslan, and that isn’t without reason. There are few speakers out there who are regulars on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show (let alone six appearances), few speakers who might call on a member of the audience using the epithet “that dude” (and keep a straight face), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kjell Bondevik, Former Prime Minister of Norway, Visits Occidental</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 It could be said that in 2002, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Scandinavian country of Norway had one very unlikely characteristic in common: they were both led by clergymen. Or at least so went the humor of then President Mohammad Khatami of Iran and Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik of Norway. On [...]]]></description>

		<title>Author and Journalist David Wessel Visits Oxy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



 
In September of 2008, the already palatial halls of the Federal Reserve Building in New York City were undergoing renovation. The building that stood as a monument to the nation’s wealth and financial power had literal roots leagues beneath its floors: in vaults deep below lay hundreds of billions of dollars in gold—much not [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Unexpected Trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Katherine Lonsdorf ‘09
I distinctly remember the moment before the first punch.  He was looking down on me, his fist clenched, his eyes angry and clouded, his arm pulled back for momentum.  I screamed, eyes wide in disbelief.  I don&#8217;t remember if I braced for it or not.  I don&#8217;t think it would have mattered.

		<title>Witnessing History in the Making</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  
By Kera Bartlett ‘09
Lines of hundreds of portapotties could be seen in all directions, along with little green and blue huts with white roofs standing at attention. First aid and security tents were being erected on the grass and the distant sirens of a motorcade could be heard across the Mall. The wind that whipped around [...]]]></description>
