		<description><![CDATA[Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar commemorates one of the great turning points in the history of Western Civilization: the transition of Rome from a republic to an empire. Before the time of Caesar, Roman sovereignty had resided with the people and the Senate. After Caesar, power fell into the hands of a hereditary emperor. Shakespeare's play [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Genetics is the study of inherited variation. While it usually refers to biological heredity, genetics can apply to language as well. Language, like life, is constantly evolving. From the time when an utterance is first given meaning, it is subjected to powerful forces of change. Some words are never more than passing fads, and they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I adore the name we've given our galaxy. The Milky Way—so delicious! It escaped the strange titles given to our near neighbors like Andromeda, Triangulum, and the ever-romantic Large Magellanic Cloud. Milky Way is much more homey. It's very pastoral, the sort of name you'd expect for a meandering country lane that runs between the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Music," wrote nineteenth century poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "is the universal language of mankind." This is a striking statement—and I fear the claims of poets are always best served cum grano salis to allow for gentle seasoning and healthy skepticism. Music is not language. Nor is music universal. It may be made by people everywhere, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've been thinking about you. No, not you personally. I mean that I've been thinking about you, the actual word. I can already tell that this might get confusing. You is such a common word that it's difficult to pull back from its everyday usage and discuss it deeply and objectively. However, the very fact [...]]]></description>
