    <about><![CDATA[I intend to make Samad Beh-Rang (Behrangi) books available to as many English readers as possible. Samad was an educator and his books have influenced many generation of readers. Although written for children, they have numerous messages for all ages and will be more appreciated by tweens, teens, university students, teachers and all who want to make a difference.]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[I love this forum. I have also worked all my life as document control analyst and I have been reviewing documents for accuracy and compliance, and unfortunately I used to judge some writings on their poor English as well.<br/>However I should have realized that mistakes happen and the quality of any written work can still be good enough to read. For example when I published my book &quot;The Little Black Fish&quot;, there were some typing errors and a few other mistakes. In my opinion the autocorrect feature on Word has a role creating these problems. I am hoping to be able to have a revised copy published.<br/>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Hi, Jongalt. <br/>You have raised a question that is in so many people's minds. George Orwell must have been a true communist since he participated at the Spanish Civil War, their last stance and where they were put to test. <br/>Could it be that here as well as in &quot;1984&quot; he saw the danger and was criticising the path the Soviet Union was leading to. A path that, four decades later led to their destruction. How and why this happened would definitely need a lot of research. ]]></body>
