The Editors: "Many members of=Congress seem to view the U.S.'s most deadly criminals -- those who carry =uns -- as a protected class. For decades, they've tried everything imagina=le to cripple the agency charged with enforcing federal laws against illeg=l gun buying, trafficking and possession. Meanwhile, advocates of stricter=gun-law enforcement have fought a losing battle to strengthen the agency=E2��s hand. Now, it may be time to admit defeat and change the strateg=."

Tech

Katie Benner: "My phone -- wh=ch I once used for photos, music, e-mail and maps -- is now crammed full o= apps for on-demand services. It's just one sign of the crazy boom in comp=nies that want to turn our phones into remote controls for the real world.=... As the money flows and new startups are formed seemingly every month, =ere are some ways that the on-demand space will probably shake out."Read more...

Economics

Mark Buchanan: "Some of the l=ading names in economics -- New York University's Paul Romer and Nobel lau=eates Robert Lucas and Edward Prescott -- have gotten into an unusually pu=lic tiff over the proper use of math. Academic as it may seem, the battle =eveals a deeper rift in a discipline that is supposed to be aimed at makin= us all better off." =ead more...

Health

Peter R. Orszag: "The income =ap between smokers and nonsmokers has grown. And it's something companies =ay need to address directly in their efforts to help employees kick the ha=it." Read more...=/span>

Declassified

Josh Rogin: "Russia is so des=erate to hide its military involvement in Ukraine that it has brought in m=bile crematoriums to destroy the bodies of its war dead, say U.S. lawmaker= who traveled to the war-torn country this spring." Read more...

Eli Lake: "Despite last-minut= jitters from Israel, the Obama administration will continue to play along=by shielding the Jewish state from a conference that could force it to dis=lose its nuclear weapons." Read more...

Companies

Orszag: "The popular concepti=n that increasing inequality is explained mostly by widening gaps between =op earners and lower earners within each company is, to put it gently, wro=g. It's not that your manager is increasingly earning a lot more than you =re; it’s that companies are becoming ever less similar to one anot=er." Read more...

Transportation

Mark Gilbert: "It seems prett= clear that auto ownership, at least in our crowded cities, is going the s=me way as music or software. ... If you live in a city center, why have an=expensive depreciating asset sitting in its parking place for most of the =ime if Ford will let you pay just for the road time you need and nothing m=re?"

Investing

Barry Ritholtz: "Traders retu=ning to their desks after the long holiday weekend will be greeted by the =ontinuing Greek saga, a guessing game about when the Federal Reserve will =aise rates and a megamerger in the cable industry. But the debate I am muc= more interested in is the one taking place about U.S. stock valuations. I= is more significant, and not as well understood as those other discussion=." Read more...<=span>

Environment

Justin Fox: "Since the days o= Henry Miller, California farming has been, even more than in other places= a business. So it's important to consider the business reasons why Califo=nia farmers grow (or grew) thirsty crops." Read more...
