		<description><![CDATA[One dull week in February when everything in Britain was coated in drizzle, my partner and I ran away to Andalucia and, under a crisp blue sky, we drove far up into the mountains north of Seville, through a small town of narrow streets and white houses called Cazalla, out into the hills again, up through the poplar trees, where we rounded a bend and suddenly discovered an absurdity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The lost American nods into his beer and says that the Greeks are different. He should know. He came here, he's not sure, maybe 20 years ago - he just dropped out and never came back - and he's been here ever since, mostly writing poetry, and for all that time he's been illegal, no kind of papers at all, and the fact is that it's never caused him a moment's hassle.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once, the world was full of mysteries, some of them frightening, some of them wonderful, some of them merely fascinating, but now, it can be a banal and predictable place, the tracks of daily life so well-beaten and defined, our culture awash with the imbecile obvious, our existence suffocating in safety. But mysteries remain.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are not a lot of rebels in America. Most Americans don't seem to realise this - they still think they're living in the home of the free - but the truth is that the decisions of their daily life have become so commercialised, their self-image so puffed up with patriotism, their politics so encased in self-righteousness that this society, which is so keen to boast about its devotion to the individual, has become a cathedral to conformity. Nevertheless, a few survive. 
Houston is a metaphor for all this. At first sight, it is the whole American nightmare embodied in concrete - 50 miles wide, littered with ghettos, ravaged by freeways, awash with drugs and crime and corruption - and yet, down on the ground, in the shadow of the arrogant skyscrapers with their hostile reflecting walls, there is yet life, creative, rebellious, human life. Which is where the Art Cars come in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is early morning on the Murray river up on the northern border of the state of Victoria. Every so often, a gang of bright white cockatoos comes crashing out of the tree tops, screaming abuse at each other on their way across the water, but otherwise the river and the forest are deeply silent as Bill Vickers pushes his boat upstream.]]></description>
