Help with Xml parsing

bj0011

I am trying to parse an XML file obtained from a public WebService (see below). This file does not seem to be loading into a .NET XmlDocument right (I think it is because of all of the <Item Name="" Type=""></Item> elements). I need to get out the data for the <Id/>, Name="Authors", Name="Title", and Name="PubDate" elements. Anyone have an idea how to do this (I have tried to get them out short of dumping the doc out to a string and parsing it that way)
