The Editors: "Ted Cruz launch=d his presidential campaign on Monday by appealing to the country’= 'courageous conservatives.' ... What would courageous conservatism actual=y require? And what, if anything, does it have to do with Cruz? In electio=s, appealing to the party's base doesn't need courage. To challenge the ba=e, you have to be brave." Read more...

Jonathan Bernstein: "I can�=80�t pretend to be neutral about Ted Cruz, who formally announced Monday=that he’s running for president. Fortunately, Tailgunner Ted's cha=ces of winning the Republican nomination are extremely slim at best." Read more...

DECLASSIFIED

Josh Rogin: "Freshman Senator=Ted Cruz is running for president, hoping to gain the Republican nominatio= by bringing together conservatives, libertarians and evangelicals. On for=ign policy, that’s a tough balance to strike. Yet Cruz has crafted=his own brand of hawkishness tailored to please even his Tea Party support=rs." Read more...<=span>

CURRENCY

Megan McArdle: So what are bi=coins exactly? "The fact is that there is no singular 'what' -- and therei= lies both their strength and their weakness, and also, I think, a lot of =he confusion about the digital currency's future." Read more...

COMPANIES

Justin Fox: Starbucks's CEO i= moving on from the disastrous "Race Together" initiative. "We do 'have pr=blems in this country in regards to race,' and Howard Schultz is a manager= so what should we expect from him? More of the same, I would think. And m=ybe that isn't such a bad thing." Read more...

HEALTH-CARE REFORM

Bernstein: Happy fifth birthd=y, Obamacare. "In the end, we’re headed away from the repeal polit=cs we’ve been stuck with for the last five years, and toward treat=ng health care as a normal political issue." Read more...

MEDIA

McArdle: "When Rolling Stone =an a story about a horrific rape that allegedly occurred at a UVA fraterni=y, I was sickened." After listening to the Charlottesville Police Departme=t's news conference Monday, "whatever happened on that night, it is almost=certainly not what Sabrina Rubin Erdely wrote in Rolling Stone."

EUROPE

Leonid Bershidsky: "Chinese i=vestors have a powerful attraction to companies in the European Union, and=their targets are increasingly high-profile. In recent days, they've shown=interest in an 18-building compound on Berlin's Potsdamer Platz and in the=Italian tiremaker Pirelli. For some unfathomable reason, Europe considers =hinese investors, even state-owned ones, more benign than, say, Russian on=s." Read more...<=span>
