Matt Levine: "Thursday mornin='s Pimco cross-selling story is a fascinating little study in bond market =iquidity. There are two stories of bond market liquidity. One is a story o= costs. ... The other story is a story of risks." Read more...

EUROPEAN ECONOMY

Justin Fox: "It's pretty well=known that France hasn’t been an economic dynamo for a while. What=is less often noted is that conditions are ripe for much, much stronger pe=formance." Read more.=.

CHINA

Adam Minter: "Last weekend, H=ngary became the first European country to sign onto China’s New S=lk Road initiative, a multibillion-dollar program to build up infrastructu=e and trade along the land and maritime routes of the ancient Silk Road th=t stretched across Asia and Europe. ... It wouldn't be surprising if other=European countries are tempted to forge their own partnerships with China.=But they should understand that China is unlikely to back down on its nati=nal interests when it comes to investing in Europe." Read more...

CLIMATE CHANGE

The Editors: "Congress has be=ore it legislation that would cut emissions and still protect American com=etitiveness. Lawmakers seeking an effective alternative to Obama's regulat=ry approach to climate change but are worried about the growing cost of in=ction should give the bill the attention and improvement it deserves." Read more...

TECH

Leonid Bershidsky: "Apple is =bout to give iPhone and iPad users the opportunity to block ads. This foll=ws a recent German court decision affirming the legality of ad-blocking so=tware and may point to a wider rejection of invasive advertising. Companie= with ad-based business models may soon have no choice but to rethink thei= approach." Read more=..

MEDIA

Megan McArdle: "Apple's job i= to make products that please its customers." The news that its new mobile=operating system will support ad blocking "will certainly please the custo=ers, however bad it is for the media business." Read more...

ASIAN ECONOMY

William Pesek: "South Korea's=MERS outbreak is a public health crisis that has grown to become a politic=l and economic problem. ... Eventually, the MERS cases will dwindle and th= public's facemasks will come off. And, at that point, Korea will still be=uncomfortably wedged between a slowing China and Japan's beggar-thy-neighb=r recovery plan." Rea= more...

LAW

Jonathan Bernstein: "Beware o= any presidential candidate peddling a constitutional amendment. ... Suppo=t for a constitutional amendment is a way of ducking an issue. That�=99s especially true for presidents, who don’t have any formal role=in amendments." Read =ore...

LATIN AMERICA

Mac Margolis: "Until recently= Venezuela seemed to be working some magic on Spain. Spain's far left, led=by the socialist Podemos party, fell hard for the lingering charms of the =ate Hugo Chavez's revolution. But beyond the radical fringe, the Spanish t=ke on the Bolivarian experiment was less flattering." Read more...

CULTURE

Stephen L. Carter: Science fi=tion writer Ursula K. Le Guin's lament that Amazon's quest for short-term =ales is destroying serious literature has drawn both plaudits and criticis=s. "I think Le Guin is half right -- or, more to the point, she has identi=ied the correct problem but chosen the wrong villain. She is blaming Amazo= for a huge shift in consumer taste, a wave Amazon may be riding but did n=t create." Read more.=.

SPORTS

Kavitha A. Davidson: The NHL'= playoff beards are galvanizing -- "they unite players and fans, who get i= on the fun and grow their own beards in solidarity with their teams. ... =ure, I prefer my Henrik Lundqvists neatly trimmed and my Patrick Sharps cl=an-shaven. Push those beautiful, bare faces out as much as possible during=the regular season. But for two months out of the year, may the beard be w=th you." Read more...=/a>
