Michael Lewis: "The Greek Min=stry of Finance recently commissioned a study to determine how much German= should pay Greece for the atrocities committed by Germans in World War II= ... This study did not make it more likely that Germany would pay Greece =eparations: just the reverse. It enraged the German politicians whose indu=gence the Greek government now seeks. But it still served its purpose -- t= remind everyone that the Greek people still insist on their own righteous=ess." Read more...

U.K.

The Editors: "A clear result =s the last thing voters expect from Thursday's election in the U.K. Polls =ay that neither of the two main parties will win a majority in the House o= Commons. Days and maybe weeks of talks could follow, to see what kind of =overning partnership can be cobbled together. Another election in short or=er is possible. Confusing as all this may be, one point is already worth n=ting, regardless of the result: Britain needs to get more comfortable with=the idea of compromise." Read more...

Marc Champion: "Thursday�=80�s election in the U.K. is, by general agreement, one of the most impo=tant in recent history. At stake is Britain's fragile economy, its place i= Europe and perhaps the future of the union itself. So why has the campaig= been so petty and dispiriting?" Read more...

INVESTING

Mark Gilbert: "Sometimes, a m=rket move of 1,110 percent is meaningless. The law of small numbers explai=s why." Read more...<=a>

HEALTH-CARE REFORM

Megan McArdle: "Two years in,=there's a lot we still don't know about Obamacare. How many people will it=end up insuring? What will the premiums look like? How much will the progr=m cost? Some of these questions won't be answered satisfactorily for a whi=e. ... Other answers, however, will come into focus in the next year or so= The most important being: What will the market for individual insurance l=ok like once Obamacare is in full effect?" Read more...

2016 ELECTIONS

Stephen L. Carter: "Have the =uestions swirling around the finances of the Clinton Foundation damaged Hi=lary Clinton’s brand? Many observers seem to think so. That word -= 'brand' -- keeps popping up. Yet polls show that voters continue to lean =er way. When pundits express surprise at Clinton’s staying power, =hey are misunderstanding how brands work." Read more...

COMPANIES

Justin Fox: "Can you smell th= hot, sizzling breeze of change? If you can’t, you’re not =lone. The analysts who questioned McDonald’s executives after the =ompany unveiled its turnaround plan Monday took scant notice of all the mo=ern progressiveness in the air, focusing instead on the company’s =nnouncement that it’s going to hand 3,500 of its company-owned res=aurants over to franchisers. Investors seemed underwhelmed." Read more...

CHINA

Adam Minter: "The ride-sharin= app Uber has encountered more than its share of regulatory crackdowns dur=ng its international expansion. ... But when police in the Chinese city of=Guangzhou raided the local offices of the company last Thursday, it added = new wrinkle to a familiar pattern." <= href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/55086a4c3b35d051538c37cc2ks5e.=647/VUqTOkmOPQm-WSIqB4f1c" style="text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;lin=-height:1.6em">Read more...

CONGRESS

Jonathan Bernstein: "With the=death of Jim Wright, the 92-year-old former speaker of the House, there ha=e been a lot of colorful anecdotes about him and comment on the so-called =candals he was caught up in. But we should not let the moment pass with ou= noting the link between Wright and Congress as it exists today." <=pan class="topic-read-more" style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;text-=ecoration:none;color:#00b9e7;font-weight:normal;font-size:17px;line-height=1.6em;text-transform:none">Read more...

OIL

Leonid Bershidsky: "As Brent =rude oil reached more than $68 per barrel Wednesday, a high for 2015, anal=sts started to backtrack on earlier predictions of $40-$50 oil. The reboun=, however, may not last: Speculators appear to have disrupted Saudi Arabia=s strategic game against U.S. shale oil producers." Read more...

LATIN AMERICA

Mac Margolis: "The 10 biggest=earthquakes recorded since 1900 have taken more than 1.5 million lives -- =ot counting the toll from the 7.8 magnitude temblor in Nepal, which has ki=led 7,500 and counting. There's some hope that the big quakes of the futur= could be less lethal -- because we'll see them coming. Or at least, the r=ts will." Read more..=

SPORTS

Kavitha A. Davidson: "The '-g=te' suffix denoting public scandals is wildly overused, but in the case of=the New England Patriots, it might actually be rather apt. As with the ori=inal Watergate, the attempted cover-up of Deflategate is much worse than t=e crime itself." Read=more...
