FROM THE EDITORS» 

U.S.: President Barack Obama made an inaugural vow to create "an unprecedented level of openness in government" and act promptly to make official information public: "By that benchmark, Americans aren't much better off than they were four years ago."

Europe: "Anyone who thought the euro crisis was coming under control might want to think again. . . . In short, the EU's crisis management is a mess -- a failure of coordination and a formula for uncertainty, political instability and fiscal overkill."

William Cohan» 

"The Securities and Exchange Commission, it seems, has finally lost its mind. In April, motivated by what I consider pure maliciousness, the SEC initiated a 'cease and desist' administrative proceeding it deemed 'necessary for the protection of investors and in the public interest' against Egan-Jones Ratings Co., a privately owned, 20-person firm based in Haverford, Pennsylvania, and against its principal owner."

The new U.S. Supreme Court term is already here: "In the balance first is the future of human rights litigation in U.S. courts -- and whether torture committed by foreigners abroad is any of our business. . . . Will the Supreme Court overturn an eight-year old precedent, removing the federal courts from the realm of international human rights?"

Albert Hunt» 

"There may be only one impediment to President Barack Obama maintaining his small lead in the U.S. election over the next week: arrogance. . . . The president's campaign sees Romney as an out-of-touch stiff without core beliefs, willing to say or do anything for political advantage." Expressing that viewpoint "poses the greatest danger for the president in the debate."

Simon Johnson» 

 "Global regulators have a peculiar way of assessing the soundness of big banks: Ask bankers how risky their investments are, then figure out if they have enough capital to absorb the potential losses. This method, known as risk weighting, has failed repeatedly -- most spectacularly during the 2008 financial crisis. . . . We should abandon the notion of risk weights and move the tangible-equity ratio back toward 20 percent."

"It is surprising that no one has recognized that governments (state as well as federal) have been following a too-big-to-fail policy in higher education for decades. While I can name several large businesses ... that have failed over the last decade or so, I cannot think of a single example of a large American university that has failed or closed its doors."
