					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some years ago I had the good fortune to meet <em>New York Times</em> columnist <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/ref/opinion/BROOKS-BIO.html">David Brooks</a> for lunch.  This was back in the days when he was writing for <em>The Weekly Standard</em> and contributing articles to <em>The  Atlantic</em>.  I admire David and his work.  He&#8217;s frequently an island of reason and moderation amidst an ocean of extremist media pundits. And if you&#8217;re interested in connection, David Brooks is a writer you&#8217;ll want to follow. Check out David&#8217;s latest articles related to connection: <em>The</em> <em>New York Times</em> column entitled &#8220;<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/18/opinion/18brooks.html?_r=1&amp;hp">Amy Chua is a Wimp</a>&#8221; and  the <em>New Yorker </em>article entitled &#8220;<a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/01/17/110117fa_fact_brooks">Social Animal: How the new sciences of human nature can help make sense of life</a>.&#8221;</p>
