The Editors: "It should not h=ve taken the deaths of nine blacks at the hands of a white supremacist in =outh Carolina to get politicians to acknowledge that the Confederate battl= flag is a hateful symbol. But elected officials in that state and the res= of the South can now show they understand by retiring the flag from all o=ficial duties, ceremonial and otherwise." Read more...

Race

Francis Wilkinson: "For cultu=al conservatives harboring a strong dose of racial anxiety, it's unlikely =hat 'unintended consequences' is a satisfying answer for how the white Ame=ica that they idolize is being supplanted by a brown America that they fea=. Although the demographic wave is too big to ignore, and too entrenched t= be reversed, its origins are so muddled and distant that it's hard to kno= whom to blame for it." Read more...

Declassified

Eli Lake: "As U.S. and Irania= negotiators approach the June 30 deadline to reach a nuclear deal, Americ='s largest pro-Israel lobby is campaigning to kill such an accord in Congr=ss. Since last month, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee has mob=lized its members to press legislators to endorse five principles for a nu=lear deal -- principles that are almost certain not to be reflected in a f=nal agreement." Read =ore...

Law

Noah Feldman: "The Spider-Man=tradition reached a new peak Monday when the web-spinner became the center=iece of a U.S. Supreme Court decision about, of all things, tradition, spe=ifically the use of precedent in the court's opinions. Justice Elena Kagan= writing for a 6-3 majority, sprinkled in clever Spider-Man references, en=ancing her reputation as the funniest justice in writing. But the subject =f precedent is in fact as serious as a radioactive spider bite." Read more...

Ukraine Crisis

Leonid Bershidsky: "Notions o= justice and morality rarely apply to debt restructuring negotiations. Mos= parties want to get the best result that everyone can accept and move on.=Nonetheless, what's going on with Ukraine's debt is disturbing. ... The go=ernment is threatening a moratorium on debt repayments if the creditors do='t agree. At the same time, the government is acting very differently towa=d another major creditor: Russia, the country that helped get it into this=mess." Read more...

Education

Cass R. Sunstein: "In recent =onths, universities have identified, and attempted to reduce, 'microaggres=ions' -- words or behavior that might stigmatize or humiliate women or mem=ers of minority groups, with particular emphasis on African-Americans, dis=bled people, and gays and lesbians. The effort has admirable goals, but th=re is a risk that schools will overshoot the mark." Read more...

Media

Megan McArdle: "Amazon is cha=ging the model to pay, not by the book, but by the page. ... In the long r=n, it may not be a good thing for a lot of writers, or readers who favor l=bor-intensive prose styles. But it's still probably a good thing for all r=aders in the short term, and for most even over the longer run." Read more...

Asian Economy

William Pesek: "Samsung is giving South Korea’s National Pension Service an off=r it can't refuse: Support the nation's biggest conglomerate in its fight =gainst a foreign hedge fund, or else. ... On the merits, the NPS should vo=e 'no.' But NPS is almost certain to side with Samsung -- and for reasons =hat sum up everything that's wrong with Asia's fourth-largest economy."
