		<description><![CDATA[I know that many people in our 6th District consistently vote Republican. It&#8217;s a matter of party loyalty. I myself regard loyalty as a great virtue. I am loyal to my friends, and I am faithful to my wife, and I still root for the teams from where I lived as a boy. But loyalty, [...]]]></description>

Most everyone encourages me to do that more. But I am convinced that we will meet the profound challenge of our present crisis only to the extent that we grasp a reality that’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[REDEEMED BY SACRIFICE: ‘IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE’ There is, perhaps, no single movie that is more beloved for the Christmas season than “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Frank Capra’s great film from 1946.
