		<description><![CDATA[I would assume that, to most people, Care Under Fire sounds like a misnomer. It combines a term that we commonly use in a sterile and static context, &#8220;care&#8221;, with a very dynamic term, &#8220;fire&#8221;. Then it mentally conveys that someone is doing the static part while directly &#8220;under&#8221; the dynamic part. It sounds like [...]]]></description>
