HEALTH 

The Editors: "A 14th-century weapon is not the best defense against a 21st-century illness. That's not simply common sense, it's also the scientific consensus, and why public officials in the U.S. are wrong to insist on mandatory quarantines for health workers returning from Ebola-afflicted West Africa."

WALL STREET 

Matt Levine: "Let me tell you about copper. Copper is a metal that lives in the earth, and sometimes people pull it out of the earth and make it into pennies or whatever. There is a lot of it. ... When one person owns 50 or 80 or 90 percent of the supply of a commodity, people tend to throw around words like 'cornering the market,' and worry about higher prices and manipulation."

TECH 

Katie Benner: "If retailers roll out a mobile wallet that bypasses the major credit card networks, which types of consumers benefit? Will the payment network, ultimately, catch on? These questions became more that just hypothetical amid reports that Rite Aid and CVS disabled the use of Apple Pay at the checkout counter."

TAXES 

Megan McArdle: "I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to catch tax evasion. I'm saying we shouldn't try so hard that we end up criminalizing a lot of innocent behavior. There are worse things than a country with some tax fraud. And one of those things is a government with vast and arbitrary power to punish people who have done no wrong."

MIDTERM ELECTIONS 

Francis Barry: "In a solidly conservative district that Mitt Romney won in 2012 with 60 percent of the vote, a Republican candidate is attacking his opponent for being too conservative. In another district that shades red, a Republican is attacking his opponent for not taking a strong stand against the Confederate flag. Is this a campaign bizarro world? No, it's just life under a 'top two' voting system."

Jonathan Bernstein: "It's correct that good political reporting can, in the right circumstances, beat early forecasts from Nate Silver (or the Monkey Cage, or anyone else using objective indicators). But that hardly discredits what these modelers do or how they do it."

POLITICS 

Clive Crook: "Polarization in Washington and the country at large has paralyzed the U.S. system of government. That's why most Americans don't care about the midterm elections. Whatever happens, they think, it won't make a difference."

RUSSIA 

Leonid Bershidsky: "I experienced conflicting emotions as I read Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent declaration of a new Cold War in a speech to the Valdai Club of Russia experts. The Russian leader blamed the U.S. for what he sees as the collapse of the global security system and warned America not to mess with Russia. At many points in the speech, I found myself nodding in agreement -- but it's impossible to buy the entirety of Putin's message, because he is the wrong messenger."

CONGRESS 

Ramesh Ponnuru: "Representative Kevin McCarthy, the House majority leader, says that he wants to pass a budget for next year soon after the midterm elections. Then Republicans -- whom he hopes will be in charge of the Senate as well as the House next year -- can work on bigger legislation to 'prove we could govern.' I don't see how this can possibly work."

LATIN AMERICA 

The Editors: "In her victory speech after narrowly winning re-election to a second term Sunday, Dilma Rousseff said, 'I want to be a much better president than I have been until now.' That shouldn't be too hard; she has presided over an era of political division and economic stagnation. Luckily, Rousseff has two quick opportunities to show she means it."

Mac Margolis: "Dilma Rousseff stepped up to the microphone at the packed hotel auditorium in Brasilia and paused. She had just shoehorned victory from Brazil's closest presidential contest on record, beating Social Democrat Aecio Neves by 3.4 million votes out of more than 110 million cast, but you'd never have known how close it was by the militantes' war whoops. These might be the last 'oles' she'll hear for a while."

MIDDLE EAST 

Noah Feldman: "The American diplomat Edward Djerejian once famously remarked that if Islamists were democratically elected to office, the result might be 'one man, one vote, one time.' Preliminary results from Tunisia's second democratic election show that this concern was unwarranted, at least in Tunisia."

GUNS 

Francis Wilkinson: "An elegant Sunday New York Times op-ed article on Americans and gun rights, by Charles C.W. Cooke of National Review, was a welcome departure from the low-grade hysteria typically promoted by the gun-rights movement. ... While smartly argued and blissfully free of demagoguery, the article nonetheless suffered from another movement affliction: terminal romanticism."

CULTURE 

Guan Yang: "The mistakes of big publishing are legion, but I doubt that the problem is that publishers are not investing enough in their business; rather, they are not investing enough in the right areas."

CHINA 

William Pesek: "Is China headed for a boom or bust? Depending on whom you read, the world's most populous nation is on the cusp of either a debt meltdown, or a middle-class expansion."

FOOD 

McArdle:"Do we need better food labels? ... Color me skeptical. I hate to be that contrarian who takes a stand against everything, even unobjectionable policies like food labels, except I guess I already did. It's not that I'm against transparency, per se. But I'm against the notion that more transparency is always and everywhere better, and provides tangible benefits to society."
