Noah Feldman: "In retrospect,=it seems inevitable that Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev would ge= the death penalty. ... I still feel surprised and unsettled by the verdic= -- because here in Massachusetts, where I was born and have lived most of=my life, the death penalty has over the last several generations come to s=em distant, foreign and unfamiliar." <= href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/55086a4c3b35d051538c37cc2lzlz.=653/VVZuhkmOnk5XK6UFBef79" style="text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;lin=-height:1.6em">Read more...

WALL STREET

Matt Levine: "Where nobody kn=ws what a thing is worth, there are more opportunities to find buyers who =re willing to pay way more than sellers want. When that happens, the value=of making a deal can be really large, and the services of a middleman can =e really valuable. And the temptation for that middleman to take all of th= value for himself can be overwhelming." Read more...

TECH

Leonid Bershidsky: "PayPal bl=cked an account set up by Russian activists seeking to collect funds for t=e publication of a report on Russia's involvement in eastern Ukraine. The =.S. online payment company explained that it didn't 'provide the option of=using its system to receive donations to political parties or causes in Ru=sia.' It's just the latest example of an Internet giant cast in a role for=which it is ill-equipped." Read more...

CIVIL RIGHTS

Francis Barry: "The national =ecline in arrests runs counter to the idea that America has become increas=ngly overpoliced, particularly in poor minority communities." Few writers =nderstand Baltimore’s mean streets as well as "The Wire" creator D=vid Simon, "but as the political debate over policing continues, it�=99s important to separate fact from fiction."

RELIGION

Megan McArdle: "Conservative =hristians are taking part in the 'national conversation' on poverty. They'=e also taking action. If there is a societywide effort to fight poverty, i= is arguably the secular folks who are shirking." Read more...

U.K.

Mark Gilbert: "Astonishingly,=Britain now has more breweries per person than any other country in the wo=ld. ... But such abundance also presents an irresistible target for the bi= players seeking to bring cachet to dull global brands by adding the pizaz= of small-batch beverages." Read more...

ENVIRONMENT

Justin Fox: Farmers in Califo=nia's Sacramento Valley "are flooding hundreds of thousands of laser-level=d acres under five inches of water as they prepare to plant the annual ric= crop. ... Even rice farmers get that there is something incongruous about=this." Read more...
