Cass R. Sunstein: "With the l=ss of at least eight lives, this week’s train crash in Philadelphi= is of course a national tragedy. It’s crucial to understand why t=e accident occurred and to take steps to make such tragedies less likely i= the future. But there is also a serious risk of overreaction." Read more...

Mark Gilbert: "Now that the u=ique selling point of London cabbies -- their proficiency at navigating th= capital's Byzantine street system -- is replicable by any mobile phone th=t can run Google Maps, their days are clearly numbered. While there are se=timental reasons to lament the demise of black cabs, Londoners should trea= it as a sign of progress." Read more...

Environment

The Editors: "California's wo=st-in-a-century drought is forcing the state to impose strict limits on wa=er use and to consider increasingly elaborate and expensive proposals to m=ve water from here to there. Those steps may be necessary, but they should=be accompanied by something more rational and efficient. That mechanism, o= course, is the market." Read more...

Ukraine Crisis

Leonid Bershidsky: "We hadn't=heard much from the separatists in eastern Ukraine lately, but this week t=ey put forward proposals for the long-term status of those regions. These =re mainly in line with the Minsk peace plan of February, but they are also=designed to be rejected by the government of Ukraine as a way to produce a=permanent frozen conflict zone, akin to the Russian-controlled areas of Ge=rgia."

Entertainment

Stephen L. Carter: "The criti=s are right that 'Mad Men' was stronger in the early seasons, when it won =our straight Emmys. In the later years, there was too much soap opera, and=the writers visited the blow-up-the-firm well twice too often. Yet even at=its weakest, the show was among the very best dramas in TV history."

Asia

Andrei Lankov: "Since coming =o power three years ago, dictator Kim Jong Un has presided over a large-sc=le and very violent purge of North Korea's military and civilian leadershi=. Some 70 high-level officials and generals have reportedly been executed =uring Kim's brief reign. This marks a dramatic reversal of the strategies =im's father and grandfather used to stay in power."
