		<description><![CDATA[Eight months pregnant, Elvira, 28, was poised, articulate and confident through a two-hour prenatal class. Then she formed a circle with 10 other mothers-to-be, caught a skein of bright pink yarn a nurse tossed to her, and burst into tears of gratitude.
“Thank you, thank you, you have taught me so much,” Elvira said, clasping one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One perverse side effect of the stalled national health reform legislation is that popular, commonsense provisions tucked in the bills get stuck too.
