AOL: 

Ezra Klein: "As chief executive officer of AOL Inc., Tim Armstrong shouldn't have stood up and blamed proposed changes to the company's 401(k) plan on two discrete  and, to many AOLers, recognizable medical catastrophes. ... An irony of Armstrong's predicament is that Obamacare, which he partly blames for his company's increased costs, might be its salvation."

Margaret Carlson: "It is Armstrong's company that is distressed, and he might want to look at himself. AOL's stock price is up on the hope that he's going to turn things around, but since taking over in 2009 he's done little except splurge on acquisitions and other missteps."

Megan McArdle: Armstrong's "explanation of the decision-making process seemed basically fair to me. ... Unfortunately, our emotional reaction to anyone who dares to mention our expensive choices makes it very difficult to have a rational conversation."

MICHAEL SAM: 

The Editors: In the case of Michael Sam, the National Football League must "ensure that a mere prospect be treated with respect. Sam, an All-America defensive end who is expected to be selected in the NFL draft, announced Sunday that he is gay."  The NFL's early response to the news has been encouraging.

Kavitha A. Davidson: "The outpouring of support for the brave honesty from the University of Missouri defensive end has been encouraging, but will be for naught if he doesn't make it onto a National Football League squad."

FREE TRADE: "Trade-promotion authority is the rare issue where President Barack Obama is closer to congressional Republicans than to Democrats," Ramesh Ponnuru writes. Supporters of free trade should "reconsider whether trade-promotion authority ought to be as central to their game plan as it has been for the last few decades."

THE BEATLES: 

Francis Barry: "Now that the media hoopla over the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America is finally subsiding, it's worth remembering another landmark event from that week in 1964 -- and why it still matters. Three days before the Fab Four touched down at John F. Kennedy airport, President Lyndon B. Johnson presided over the official certification of the recently ratified 24th Amendment." Eight states still have not ratified it.

James Greiff: "By quitting when they did, the Beatles -- as any number of writers have noted -- preserved forever the distilled genius of the four young men from Liverpool before it began to flag." The Rolling Stones should heed that lesson.

JAPAN: "Where do they find these people?" William Pesek: "That question is surely on the minds of many Japanese women today, who have good reason to wonder how Yoichi Masuzoe squeaked into public office even after leaving a sordid paper trail of sexist comments."

SWITZERLAND: The Editors: "The Swiss have voted to impose quotas on immigration, a decision that will reverberate across Europe -- and should sound especially loud in Brussels."

INDIA: "India's biggest businessmen want Narendra Modi, the chief minister of Gujarat, to be the country's next prime minister," Pankaj Mishra writes. "The phenomenon of Modi seems the most revealing symptom and effect yet of India's fraught attempt at economic liberalization since 1991."

IMMIGRATION: Jonathan Bernstein: "I'm not exactly convinced by the recent Republican talking point that they're not able to pass immigration reform because they don't trust President Barack Obama to enforce the law. ...It's all about whether Republican leaders want immigration reform enough that they're willing to go against those in the party who oppose it."
