		<title>Diaz Point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You drive to the end of the world, turn left, and continue — passing a forbidden territory larger than some countries, a pack of wild horses, a fortune in diamonds, and a barren, rocky, colourless landscape reminiscent of the surface of the Moon. <a href="http://www.andrewcusack.com/2010/03/14/diaz-point/">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>The State Opening of Parliament</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The State Opening of Parliament has always been an occasion of great ceremony, most especially so on the one occasion when the King of South Africa himself was actually present. There’s an unspoken contest among female MPs and MPs’ wives to wear the most daring or arresting hat to the State Opening, and tribal leaders often attend in traditional dress. <a href="http://www.andrewcusack.com/2010/03/14/state-opening-of-parliament/">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>The Abolition of Humour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Police Inspector Blog documents how, in Britain today, “you can be arrested for pinching a few crisps from a schoolfriend, throwing cream cakes or denying the existence of Santa Claus – while burglars, muggers and drug dealers go about their business unmolested.” <a href="http://www.andrewcusack.com/2010/03/12/the-abolition-of-humour/">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>A little dilapidation goes a long way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The government of Nassau have managed to maintain Chelsea and its grounds at exactly the appropriate level: not plastering over every crack to make it ‘good-as-new’, nor neglecting it so it becomes structurally unsound, but rather allowing it to develop and age naturally. <a href="http://www.andrewcusack.com/2010/03/11/chelsea-muttontown/">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>The Informal and the Formal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In January 1986, rebel forces seized the Ugandan capital of Kampala and the second Obote presidency collapsed. The old emperor had fled, and the apparatus of state hailed the new emperor as their own. Yoweri Museveni, Holy Writ in hand and guided by a clerk as the Chief Justice looked on, took the oath of office and formally ascended to the presidency of the nation. <a href="http://www.andrewcusack.com/2010/03/11/museveni-inauguration/">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>A precursor of Springtime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bescarved and betweeded, I tromped through the fields, greeted by birds singing an unusual tune, perhaps surprised by the lack of late winter’s usual frigidity. Viewing the leafless trees and the lifeless vegetation there is little doubt winter is still definitely upon us. But at least some of our avian friends remain amongst us. <a href="http://www.andrewcusack.com/2010/03/09/a-precursor-of-springtime/">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>Hans Laagland</title>
		<description><![CDATA["It does not matter what the artist paints, but how he paints it,” proclaims Hans Laagland. “That is why Rubens is a genius while Picasso’s work is passable. It has been downhill ever since Rubens. What comes after him no longer has any significance.” <a href="http://www.andrewcusack.com/2010/03/05/hans-laagland/">read more</a>]]></description>

		<title>The National Assembly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite the longer history behind the original wing of South Africa’s Parliament House, when most people think of Parliament today they think of the 1983 wing that currently houses the National Assembly — designed by the architects Jack van der Lecq and Hannes Meiring in a similar style. <a href="http://www.andrewcusack.com/2010/03/05/national-assembly/">read more</a>]]></description>
