The Editors: "It's a shame th=t Senator Lindsey Graham, who on Monday joined the burgeoning field of Rep=blican presidential candidates, is best known for his foreign-policy stand=. ... Graham's ballistic foreign-policy routine attracts attention, but it=s his pragmatism in domestic affairs that merits a larger audience." Read more...

Jonathan Bernstein: "What Gra=am is up to, it seems, is running John McCain's third presidential campaig=. ... It isn't going to work this time. To begin with, Lindsey Graham simp=y isn’t John McCain, charismatic war hero. Perhaps more important,=Republicans in 2016 have at least half a dozen people with conventional cr=dentials who are stronger candidates for the nomination than anyone McCain=faced in 2008." Read =ore...

Wall Street

Barry Ritholtz: Seven years after he drove the 158-year-old firm he ran with an iron fi=t into bankruptcy, Richard Fuld, the former chief executive officer of Leh=an Brothers, has reappeared to accept blame for, well, absolutely nothing.="Fuld seems to believe himself blameless for either his role in the crisis=or the collapse of Lehman. ... For the man known as 'The Gorilla' to make =uch an assertion is beyond absurd." Read more...

Declassified

Josh Rogin: "Chinese military=officials attending a major security conference in Singapore over the week=nd made clear that they have no intention of halting their aggressive acti=ities in the South China Sea, and they are confident that U.S. President B=rack Obama is not going to be able to stop them." Read more...

Eli Lake: "The Senate is like=y to pass the USA Freedom Act, which will require the NSA to search out co=nections between suspicious phone numbers using data stored by the telecom=companies, rather than data banked by the NSA itself. ... But what about t=ese vulnerable days in the meantime? The reality is they're not very vulne=able." Read more...

National

Peter R. Orszag: "As the worl= grows ever better at gathering and making use of data, the question arise=: Might the measurements and statistics that private businesses accumulate=be used to help government statistical agencies that are under increasing =udget pressure? Two recent studies suggest they can." Read more...

Banking

Leonid Bershidsky: "Near-zero=interest rates in Europe have made individual deposits an unnecessary head=che for local banks: Wholesale funding is cheaper and easier to arrange. T=ere are two banks that exist in a different reality, however: the Austrian=subsidiaries of Russia's state-controlled Sberbank and VTB. They very much=want Europeans' savings because they know how to play the Russian carry tr=de." Read more...=/span>

Law

Cass R. Sunstein: "This month= as the Supreme Court finalizes some unusually momentous decisions, it�=80�s a good time to ask: Which of the justices' opinions have been the g=eatest of all time?" Read more...

Europe

Mark Gilbert: "Germany is the=11th most sexually satisfied country in the world, beating the U.S. and Ch=na but lagging world leader Switzerland, according to a recent survey by p=ophylactic maker Durex. Unfortunately, bedroom bliss hasn't been translati=g into the production of tiny new Teutons. And if that doesn't change, Ger=ans, sexually satisfied or not, will be jeopardizing their country's econo=ic future." Read more=..

Culture

Megan McArdle: "Joan Didion m=morably writes that 'I was in love with the city, the way you love the fir=t person who ever touches you and you never love anyone quite that way aga=n.' ... I, however, have never loved New York like a lover. To be born in =ew York is to love the city the way you love your parents, the way you lov= dog-eared books and macaroni and cheese in front of the television, and t=e body-memory of running pell-mell down a sidewalk without fear or purpose=... a sidewalk that, in your case, was strewn with litter, and nonetheless=beautiful in the morning sun." =span class="topic-read-more" style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;text=decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;font-weight:normal;font-size:17px;line-heigh=:1.6em;text-transform:none">Read more...

Economics

Noah Smith: "I suspect that t=e rancor that surrounds behavioral economics is rooted in politics. ... Th=t’s a shame. Behaviorism isn’t about providing a justifica=ion for government intervention; it’s about finding a more useful =xplanation of economic phenomena." Read more...

Sports

Mark Whitehouse: "Among the l=ssons to be learned from the latest scandal engulfing FIFA, soccer's rulin= body: If you give officials from small countries with corrupt governments=outsize power in deciding who will host the World Cup, you're asking for t=ouble." Read more...<=a>
