Mohamed A. El-Erian: "The Fed=ral Reserve's Open Market Committee meeting this week will be particularly=notable if central bank officials signal Wednesday that they are inclined =o embark on a new interest rate cycle in September, raising floored policy=rates for the first time since 2006. I expect the central bank to show it =s leaning toward a hike, after weighing these five considerations."=Read more...

2016 ELECTIONS

The Editors: After nearly two=decades of flirtation, Donald Trump has finally decided to run for preside=t. You can say this for him: "He is a brilliant salesman. It is a useful t=lent to have in politics. The man himself may have had his share of financ=al and professional challenges, but the Trump name endures as a distinctiv=ly American brand of gaudy luxury." Read more...

Ramesh Ponnuru: "As opinion p=lls keep finding higher popular support for same-sex marriage, Republican =trategists have come to dread the issue. A lot of them want it to simply g= away -- and they think the Supreme Court might oblige them. ... This line=of thinking is mistaken. If the court says that all states must recognize =ame-sex marriage, it would put Republican candidates in a worse bind than =hey're in already." R=ad more...

DECLASSIFIED

Eli Lake and Josh Rogin: "The=Central Intelligence Agency was able to do something last weekend many sus=ected it could not: locate and kill the leader of al-Qaeda's Yemen franchi=e, Nasir al-Wuhayshi. The agency did it, according to =.S. officials familiar with the events, with no official presence in Yemen=and no partnership with the country's intelligence service or military." Read more...=/p>

FOOD

Stephen Mihm: "Last week, the=House of Representatives voted to repeal a law requiring pork, chicken and=beef from Canada and Mexico to have so-called country-of-origin labels. ..= These labels, enacted as part of farm bills in 2002 and 2008, were initia=ly viewed as a way to protect consumers. But history suggests that country=of-origin laws have a long and dubious history as a weapon in the protecti=nism arsenal." Read m=re...

INVESTING

William Pesek: "For China, th=re's both good news and bad in achieving status as an independent asset cl=ss. The good news is that it confirms the financial clout Beijing covets. =he bad news is it might encourage policy makers to lose sight of the count=y's economic fundamentals." Read more...

EUROPE

Clive Crook: "Suppose for a m=ment that the European Union gets what it's demanding from Greek Prime Min=ster Alexis Tsipras. It doesn't look as though that will happen, but let's=imagine that Tsipras surrenders. How long, I'm wondering, would this smell=like victory?" Read m=re...

Megan McArdle: "Greece really=seems to be flirting with exiting the euro, even though this would not be = good idea. Why does this sort of thing happen? Because market logic is of=en not competitive with more primal instincts about outsiders, not to ment=on fairness." Read mo=e...

MIDDLE EAST

Noah Feldman: "Deposed Egypti=n President Mohamed Mursi has been sentenced to death on trumped-up charge=. Will he be executed?" What happens under President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi'= guidance "will determine much about Egypt’s future in the next de=ade." Read more...

COMPANIES

Justin Fox: "The shareholders=are the owners of a publicly traded corporation, and it is the job of the =irectors to look out for their interests. To many investors, financial jou=nalists, corporate executives and even board members, these are self-evide=t truths. As a matter of corporate law and history, though, they’r= only partial truths, and recent ones at that." Read more...

SPORTS

Kavitha A. Davidson: "If you =eeded any more proof that your beloved sports team is nothing more than a =old, calculating corporation, look no further than the St. Louis Cardinals=" Team officials are being investigated "in the first known case of corpor=te espionage involving a sports team hacking another."
