		<description><![CDATA[Jonathan Franzen&#8217;s homily on the trouble with ebooks and the superiority of print has zapped its way around the world from the Hay Festival in Cartagena, Colombia (the Telegraph&#8217;s showbusiness editor has the full story): Someone worked really hard to make the language just right, just the way they wanted it. They were so sure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When he allowed universities to charge students up to £9000 a year in tuition fees, Michael Gove said that the increase wouldn&#8217;t put students off. Here are the latest data from Ucas: 1. Total applicant numbers at this stage of the cycle are 7.4% lower than at the same point in 2011. 2. The number [...]]]></description>

Except that – assuming he really does go – Italy’s longest serving postwar prime minister will have been finally driven from office not for corruption, croneyism, tax evasion or colluding with the mafia; not for the conflict of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With great power, as Spider-Man&#8217;s Aunt May didn&#8217;t put it, comes great opportunity to shirk responsibility. It&#8217;s one law for the feral underclass, bundled into the all-night magistrates&#8217; court for speedy and punitive sentencing; another for their feral overlords, dodging a £10 million tax bill with a handshake. For a while there it looked as [...]]]></description>

He has apparently &#8216;impressed the Downing Street team with his passion for the Coalition over the past year&#8217;. (His assessment of Cameron&#8217;s conference speech a year ago could have been mistaken for a job application, displaying broad [...]]]></description>
