		<description><![CDATA[Whenever you hear someone say the words &#8220;cancer cluster,&#8221; turn and run. If that might be considered rude, just smile politely, make your phone ring, and sidle away never to return.
Cancer clusters are the mental plaything of the ignorant.
You don&#8217;t hear people talking in suspicous tones about &#8220;green shirt&#8221; clusters, do you? Yet I have [...]]]></description>
