Midterm Elections 

Margaret Carlson: "So much has been spent on the midterms -- $4 billion and counting -- and there's so little to show for it. ... Our politics have become so toxic that even those with a dynastic tradition of public service -- and have the thick skin that goes with it -- are now suspect."

Cass R. Sunstein: "The Republican Party seems poised to make significant gains in the U.S. Senate and the House, and might well end up with control of both. If so, how will it define itself? ...One of modern conservatism's greatest heroes, Friedrich Hayek, offered an answer."

Ramesh Ponnuru: "In most of the states with competitive elections this week, voter anger is directed at President Barack Obama. Republicans are motivated to vote against him, while Democrats are apathetic or demoralized. In Wisconsin, on the other hand, there's still a lot of liberal passion directed against Republican Governor Scott Walker."

Jonathan Bernstein: A guest piece in the New York Times "argues against the midterms. David Schanzer and Jay Sullivan of Duke University would prefer four-year terms for the House, coordinated with presidential elections, and four- or eight-year terms for the Senate. It's a terrible idea."

CLIMATE CHANGE 

The Editors: "The latest United Nations report on climate change is a collection of previously published findings and grimly familiar statistics. Nonetheless, it raises anew a crucial question: How can we move from admonition to action?"

Noah Smith: "The fight to develop renewable energy is a battle of good against evil, and the future of humanity hangs in the balance. No, I'm not talking about climate change (though that is certainly important). I'm talking about the distribution of wealth and power across the whole planet."

Law 

Noah Feldman: "Menachem Zivotofsky hasn't had his bar mitzvah yet, but he's already been to the Supreme Court -- twice. A U.S. citizen born in Jerusalem, Zivotofsky (through his American-Israeli parents) seeks to have his birthplace named as 'Israel' on his U.S. passport, not 'Jerusalem' as is State Department practice."

Feldman: "Is it a lie if you don't know what you're saying isn't true? This eternal philosophical question, well-known to 6-year-olds everywhere, is now before the U.S. Supreme Court."

Health-Care Reform 

Lanhee Chen and Topher Spiro: "Republicans and Democrats have little occasion to agree on anything in these toxic times. Nowhere are their differences more acute than on health-care policy. ... Yet it is still possible to make progress on changes that will improve the health-care system."

Tech 

Megan McArdle: The hopes of those who dream of space tourism "may be dashed after the crash of Virgin Galactic's VSS Enterprise. ... I'm not so sure."

Russia 

Leonid Bershidsky: "The Russian government is handing over the school textbook market to Arkady Rotenberg, a friend of President Vladimir Putin's who heads the board of directors of a major publishing house, Prosveshcheniye (Russian for Enlightenment). It's easy to portray Russia as a shameless kleptocracy where any and all principles are sacrificed to the enrichment of Putin's clique, but the story is more complicated. It's also worse."
