Matt Levine: "It's a great team, no? Buffett can look cuddly, 3G can be ruthless. Buffett offers Kraft shareholders = long-term investor with a nice halo, while 3G offers them operational exp=rtise and a track record of successful cost-cutting." Read more...

Justin Fox: "It is nothin= new for Kraft Foods Group to undergo an ownership change. ... I will wage=, though, that this particular ownership change, with Kraft Foods merging with H=J. Heinz in a deal arranged by Jorge Paulo Lemann’s 3G Capital=and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, will be more dramatic and=traumatic (for Kraft Foods employees, not necessarily customers or shareho=ders) than all the rest combined." Read more...

Mark Gilbert: "Turns out, Kraft is (somewhat =chizophrenically) one of the world's best-known food brands while also one=of the world's most parochial companies. As the pie charts show, Kraft ear=s just 2 percent of its $18 billion of annual revenue from selling Philade=phia cream cheese, Grey Poupon mustard and Planters peanuts in overseas ma=kets. It makes the rest of its sales exclusively in North America." Read more...

2016 Elections

Francis Wilkinson: Re=d more...

Jonathan Bernstein: "Most=likely, the party will decide well before the Iowa caucuses whether it�=80�s for Bush or not. But Kraushaar is correct. If party actors remain s=lit or uncommitted and prefer to wait for tests of electoral strength, it=E2��s easy to imagine Bush finishing fifth or lower in Iowa, failing t= rally in New Hampshire, and then finding himself almost a non-factor in S=uth Carolina." Read mo=e...

Bernstein: "Choosing a nominee isn’t about 'anointing a savior' -- that m=kes it sound as if the country is full of saps and rubes who believe such =tuff. Nomination politics isn’t about the candidates much at all. =t’s about the party." Read more...

Europe

Marc Champion: "T=e 'lame duck' jokes were flying at today's Prime Minister's Question Time, the last of these weekly=pieces of political theater before the election. Voters are now left to wo=der what Cameron's decision to stand down means." Read more...

Leonid Bershidsky: "During a =eeting of Ukraine's cabinet today, the head of the country's Emergency Sit=ations Service and his deputy were handcuffed and led =way in front of television cameras as a demonstration of the government's =eriousness about rooting out corruption. While a crackdown is sorely need=d in Ukraine, the size of a country's shadow economy depends less on such =heatrics than on economic performance."

Ukraine Crisis

Bershidsky: "As if its festering conflict with Russia and war-torn economy weren't e=ough, Ukraine is facing a growing self-inflicted problem: a showdown betwe=n the government in Kiev and an influential billionaire with his own priva=e army. Sadly, this is not a righteous fight on either side." Read more...

Asia

Chandrahas Choudhury: Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore who d=ed this week at 91, had a lot to say about =ndia. He never sugar-coated his remarks, nor did he resort to the many cli=hés used by thinkers both in the West and in India." Read more...

Adam Minter: "Chinese tourist= can't seem to get enough of Japan. In 2014, 2.4 million Chinese visited J=pan, an 83 percent increase on the previous year. And last week the Japane=e government announced that it was increasing Chinese consular staff to handl= a surge of Chinese visa applications." Read more...

Law

Noah Feldman: "Pregnant women won a somewhat surprising victor= at the U.S. Supreme Court today. The court’s four liberals go= help from Chief Justice John Roberts, who joined the ma=ority opinion by Justice Stephen Breyer, and a surprise concurrence in=the judgment from Justice Samuel Alito, who rarely crosses over to the lib=ral side. Roberts and Alito may each have had his own reason for breaking =onservative ranks." Re=d more...
