FROM THE EDITORS» 

Minimum Wage: Raising the minimum wage to $9 from the current $7.25, not ideal. "Still, it's the right thing to do. A better way to keep people working and out of poverty would be to expand the earned income tax credit, a program that makes direct payments to low-wage workers through the income-tax system . . . but we're under no illusions about its prospects in the current political climate."

Subsidy Math: "Our calculation, in a Feb. 21 editorial, showing that the top 10 U.S. banks receive a taxpayer subsidy worth $83 billion a year has generated some, um, discussion. It's a big number, and the subsidy is a big issue for the banks. How did we get there?"

Cass R. Sunstein» 
"Executive actions are nothing new, and presidents, both Republican and Democratic, have properly undertaken a large number of them. They are an established part of our constitutional system -- and are typically legitimate because Congress itself has previously authorized them."

William D. Cohan» 
"What are we to make of the ability of hedge-fund managers and other influential investors to manipulate the market with impunity and make millions of dollars doing it? The question was raised anew on Feb. 16 after news broke that Daniel Loeb of Third Point LLC had sold a portion of his 8.9 million shares in Herbalife Ltd."

Albert R. Hunt» 
"The late William F. Buckley and Karl Rove have little in common, other than the Republican Party and intelligence. Buckley's politics were guided by principle; Rove's principles are guided by politics. Yet Rove, the party establishment's money and strategy guru, is channeling Buckley, a founding father of contemporary conservatism, by trying to root out extremism from the Republican mainstream."

Paul Bogard» 
"Thanks to a new law, not only Paris but all of France will see its lighting level reduced, beginning this July. . . . The new law promises to reduce carbon emissions and save energy -- the annual equivalent of 750,000 households' worth. . . .  If the City of Light can do it, why shouldn't we?"

Gary Milhollin» 
"Negotiators from the world's major powers sit down with Iran this week for more talks on its nuclear program, just weeks after North Korea tested another nuclear weapon. . . . North Korea's nuclear saga is a cautionary tale for anyone attempting to bargain with the Islamic Republic."
