		<description><![CDATA[We all remember the end of last year for the dismal outcome, at Copenhagen, for concerted international action to deal with the world’s problems. Just a few weeks before, however, another meeting took place. In November last year, the International Encounter of Left Parties met in Caracas. At that meeting, Hugo Chávez, in typically theatrical [...]]]></description>

My short story &#8216;Bite&#8217; is part of the most recent of Five Fishes online journal&#8217;s &#8216;friday buckets&#8217; of poetry and flash fiction, published [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The father of structuralism, Claude Lévi-Strauss, has died a few weeks before reaching his 101st birthday. 
Dans une époque pressée, confuse, massivement portée à la veulerie et au simplisme, l&#8217;homme passait fréquemment pour distant. Tous ceux qui eurent la chance de l&#8217;approcher peu ou prou savent combien cet esprit universel, profondément attaché à la dignité [...]]]></description>

We do our best to improve things, but we face a mountain of ignorance and a swamp of superstition. They are confused. They don’t know what they want. This is a fine city, but its people are still mountain folk [...]]]></description>

In the UK, which is in general more closely aligned to the politics of the US (a neoliberal consensus on the centre right) than the mainstream of Europe, the NHS is the one public [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Never mind the Federation’s code of non-interference or whatever it’s called. The fact is that the Federation starships zoom around the galaxy armed to teeth. Of course the enemy fires on them first; that’s the standard justification for militarism, an external threat that must be defeated. This is not unusual in Hollywood, but something like [...]]]></description>

You can write any number of scraps of text, organise them as you see fit, re-order them, combine them in ad hoc ways, and take &#8220;snapshots&#8221; (named versions) of a manuscript. The full-screen mode is brilliant for clearing away the clutter and concentrating on your work:

His arguments about the responsibilities of a journalist vis-a-vis the feelings of a private citizen are those of a jobsworth, and utterly [...]]]></description>
