Stephen L. Carter: in the time =emaining." Read m=re...

Law

The Editors: "It =sn't difficult to kill a prisoner swiftly. A bullet to th= heart, or lopping off the head, does the job. Yet states have chosen =o disguise the brutality of the death penalty by adopting lethal injection=-- a method that purports to be more humane but, because it doesn't work =eliably, is actually more cruel than, say, death by firing squad. The desi=e to sanitize execution has made a terrible policy even worse." Read more...

Economics

Clive Crook: "The U.S. Federal Reserve wants to get monetary policy back to normal without sca=ing or surprising the financial markets. Now, try defining 'normal,' and y=u can see it's going to be difficult." Read more...

Noah Smith: "There’s just one problem with Brooks’ proposal -- they=E2��re a solution to a problem that doesn’= exist. Brooks’ anecdotes conflict with statistical reality -- Ame=icans are behaving better, not worse. Indeed, in most ways, American behav=or is better than it has been in living memory." Read more...

Europe

Mark Gilbert: "So=the Greek banking system had just a bit more than 140 billion euros at the=end of February. That's down almost 15 percent since the end of November, =uggesting bags of capital are fleeing the country as fast as their little =egs can carry them."Read more...=/a>

Latin America

Mac Margolis: "Taking over one global giant -- then making it even bigger -- is exac=ly what Lemann and his partners at 3G Capital, a Brazil-based private equi=y firm, have done best for the last two decades. Kraft adds another legacy=brand to 3G's spreading crown and also consolidates Lemann's unlikely repu=ation as Latin America's most understated billionaire." Read more...

Companies

Gilbert: "As the world b=comes increasingly reliant on digital communications, mobile-phone connect=vity and Internet access are evolving into dull but essential utilities rather than glamoro=s technology services. Lower revenue is one consequence of this. The bigge= trend, though, is likely to be more consolidation as fewer firms fight fo= bigger market shares." Read more...

Education

Mark Buchanan: "Learning=how to distinguish between fact and opinion would seem to be a pretty fund=mental piece of any education. In the bizarre world of U.S. public schools= though, it's proving to be controversial." Read more...
