		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Seagull, your Apr. 21 column entitled &#8216;Branson marketing genius or ineptitude?&#8216; seems to suggest that &#8216;favoritism&#8217; should be shown to Branson&#8217;s regular shows in the marketing of Branson. Do you believe that?&#8221; &#8220;If by &#8216;favoritism&#8217; you mean giving preferred marketing opportunity and name recognition in an ad or other marketing to a show that is [...]]]></description>
