Matt Levine: Yahoo's plans to=spin off a legacy, ancillary business "assumed a pristine box full of Alib=ba shares. From the perspective of those plans -- plans for a tax-efficien= monetization of Yahoo's big pile of Alibaba shares -- Yahoo Small Busines= looked like a small smudge on the otherwise pristine box. Making that smu=ge look smaller makes the box more attractive. And so Yahoo did a lot to m=nimize the smudge." R=ad more...

ASIAN ECONOMY

William Pesek: "One year ago,=after Narendra Modi's election as prime minister of India, I explored how =sia's biggest economies were suddenly in the hands of leaders pledging hug= economic reforms. Like Modi, Japan's Shinzo Abe and China's Xi Jinping we=e promising to deliver big changes. How have things fared since then for A=ia's 'Axis of Reform'?" Read more...

INVESTING

Mark Gilbert: "At a time when=the U.S. Federal Reserve is being probed for leaking information to invest=ent firm Medley Global Advisors, you'd think central banks worldwide would=want their interactions with market players to be as impeccable and unimpe=chable as possible. To its shame, the European Central Bank seems to have =o such ambitions." Re=d more...

MIDDLE EAST

The Editors: "Islamic State's=capture of Ramadi, the capital of Iraq's Sunni Muslim heartland, may well =ead to the unraveling of President Barack Obama's Iraq strategy. More impo=tant, however, is how it affects Iraq's Iraq strategy." Read more...

COMPANIES

Justin Fox: "Every once in a =hile a business journalist notices how well Danaher Corp. has performed du=ing the past few decades, and feels compelled to remark upon it. Well, now=I’ve noticed, and I guess the most appropriate remark is 'wow.' Or=maybe 'jeepers.'" Rea= more...

ECONOMICS

Megan McArdle: "One can't hel= but admire Uber's willingness to follow the basic logic of economics any =lace it happens to lead. Even to price gouging." Read more...

HILLARY CLINTON

Ramesh Ponnuru: "As her campa=gn for the presidency kicked off, Hillary Clinton managed to go 27 days wi=hout answering a question from the press. On Tuesday, she broke that strea=. Here are a few questions reporters might want to ask the next time she d=cides to give her prospective subjects an opportunity to get unscripted an=wers from her." Read =ore...

UKRAINE CRISIS

Leonid Bershidsky: "Ukraine's=attempts to eliminate its past as a Soviet republic are as extreme as some=of the actions taken by Vladimir Putin's hated post-modern empire, where t=e parliament is now considering a bill that would ban likening the Stalin =egime to Nazism." Rea= more...

POLITICS

Jonathan Bernstein: "The cons=rvative movement isn’t going away; it is just going to adapt. How?=We don’t know! ... We can predict that over time the Republican Pa=ty (and the Democratic Party) will adapt to new demographic trends and eme=ging issues -- whatever they turn out to be." Read more...

ENTERTAINMENT

Stephen L. Carter: "A graphic=depiction of rape might sometimes be necessary to advance a story. It shou=d never be reduced to a plot device in order to shock the audience -- part=cularly on the screen, where the impact is so great. This is where 'Game o= Thrones,' in its television incarnation, runs into trouble." Read more...

2016 ELECTIONS

Bernstein: "Republican Govern=r Mike Pence is going to run for re-election in Indiana in 2016, forgoing = presidential run. ... The winnowing will continue before the field gets t= Iowa, and probably before the end of summer, both among plausible nominee= and the others." Rea= more...
