		<description><![CDATA[In his descriptions of the first century AD German tribesmen, the Roman general Tacitus wrote that it was a disgrace to throw away one&#8217;s shield. He was referring to deserting soldiers, who dropped their heavy shields and ran away from the battlefield in fear.

		<description><![CDATA[How many times during the course of the day do we ask each other the simple question, &#8220;How are you?&#8221; It is a brief question with expectation of an equally brief answer. We are usually not disappointed: &#8220;Fine. How are you?&#8221; &#8220;Can&#8217;t complain.&#8221; &#8220;Great, thanks.&#8221; And this is not necessarily a bad thing.

		<description><![CDATA[My grandmother did not believe that a man could walk on the moon. Even as we sat around the television that momentous day, July 20, 1969, she kept repeating, &#8220;That&#8217;s not real. That&#8217;s not real.&#8221; Her worldview did not allow for the occurrence of such apparent impossibilities.
