		<description><![CDATA[Blues music is respected now, but, as David Epstein’s explains (in Inside the Box), it was known in its early days as “the devil’s music.” Pious families learned that blues shouldn’t be played in the house. [Robert] Johnson learned a different lesson: that competent guitar players could attract whiskey, women, and a little spending cash. [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Latin, Bryan Caplan notes (in The Case Against Education), “alma mater” means “nourishing mother”: A rich metaphor. A nourishing mother doesn’t merely teach you practical skills or help you land a well-paid job. She nurtures your whole person, teaches you right from wrong, and shows you the magic of life.

		<description><![CDATA[Bryan Caplan explains (in The Case Against Education) why vocational education rules: In proponents’ eyes, vocational education raises pay, reduces un&#173;employment, and increases high school completion. Research, though a bit sparse, supports proponents on all counts. Core insight: vocational students are typically “academic underachievers” before entering the vocational track. The right metric isn’t, “How do [&#8230;]]]></description>
