FROM THE EDITORS» 

U.S.:
Occupy Wall Street and Mitt Romney's statements dividing the country by income tax level "are two examples of the systematic organization of stupidities. Both the '1 percent versus 99 percent' and the 'makers versus takers' slogans are ideological constructs borne of ignorance, mythology and the tribal arrogance that results from spending way too much time with people like yourself."

Middle East: A week after the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, "riots sparked by the made-in-the-USA, anti-Islam video that ostensibly helped to provoke his death have continued, underlining that U.S. positions in the region can become hostage at any time to some crackpot's irreverent portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad."

Ezra Klein» 

Romney utterly misses what "most of us know without reading any studies: It's really, really hard to be poor. . . . The working poor haven't abdicated responsibility for their lives. They're drowning in it."

Margaret Carlson» 

Mitt Romney's campaign "has several lifelines to go until November. . . . Every losing campaign finds its own way to fall apart. What's different about Romney's (so far, at least) unsuccessful campaign is that it is acting the part of the loser so early."

Clive Crook» 

"QE3 was the right move. . . . Is demand in the economy too weak to keep its resources adequately employed? Yes. Are inflationary pressures building? No. Can QE3 deliver some stimulus? Yes. That's as much as you need to know to congratulate the Fed."

Peter Orszag» 

Paul Ryan's budget plan would reduce choice for people on Medicare. "Doctors see Medicare patients, despite the relatively low payments they receive for doing so, partly because Medicare represents such a large share of the health-care market. If a substantial number of beneficiaries moved out of Medicare and into private plans, as Ryan proposes, doctors would have much less incentive to see Medicare patients."

William Pesek» 

"Goats are all you will find on the cluster of uninhabited rocks over which the Japanese and Chinese seem ready to go to war. . . . China and Japan must act to get a grip on these tensions. Sitting back and letting things escalate by the day imperils Asia's outlook."

Matthew Bryza» 

"The European Union's launch of an antitrust probe against OAO Gazprom announced this month, is a landmark case. It shows a new EU resolve to crack down on rent-seeking by Russia's natural-gas behemoth and, at long last, to heed the complaints of the bloc's smaller ex-Soviet members."

"Between us, we had $1,500 in our bank accounts. We would use it to start a company that would sell jackets like the British Burma jacket and anything else like it we could find. Therein lay our full and complete business plan." The first of three excerpts from "Wild Company: The Untold Story of Banana Republic."
