FROM THE EDITORS» 

U.S.: Hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman calls Herbalife a pyramid scheme. "Herbalife is staging its own show Jan. 10, telling investors that Ackman doesn't know what he's talking about." The real question, however, is why the Federal Trade Commission "for three decades has punted on regulating" multilevel marketers such as Herbalife.

Switzerland: "Swiss banks UBS AG and Credit Suisse Group AG are among the safest in Europe, according to the measures regulators watch most closely. Therein lies a lesson in how easily we can be deluded into believing banks are secure."

Ezra Klein» 

"In the continuing drama that is the Obama presidency, Biden often appears as comic relief. . . . The irony, of course, is that the one bright spot in the White House's dealings with Republicans has been Biden's old-school, back-slapping, Senate-steeped, Washington-lifer approach. Turns out that sometimes an old dog knows the right tricks."

"The advantages of using drones are obvious. No American lives are put at risk, and the precision minimizes 'collateral damage.' . . . But drones also highlight a terrible anomaly of civil-libertarian societies: the contrast between how we treat killing -- state-sponsored killing -- in battle, and how we treat killing in civilian life."

Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds were denied entry to the Baseball Hall of Fame this year because they "violated Rule 5 of the Hall of Fame's election requirements, the 'character clause,' a self-important criterion that should have been stripped from the ballot decades ago."

Edward Glaeser» 

"The U.S. is far enough along in its recovery that it can begin balancing its books. An impressive new series of papers has estimated the impact of public spending on jobs during the recession, and concluded that we can make moderate budget cuts without sending the economy into a tailspin."

"The United States of America isn't going to default on its debt, even if Congress doesn't increase the statutory borrowing authority in the next couple of months. Everyone in Washington knows, or should know, this. Any assertions to the contrary are tantamount to -- perish the thought! -- playing politics with the debt ceiling."

"The fiscal outlook for many states is unsustainable. This eventually may influence the politics of the national budget, both directly (through battles over federal measures to help troubled states) and indirectly (through voters' attitudes toward government)."
