Noah Feldman: "I’m re=ieved that the nightmare of Jonathan Pollard’s imprisonment is abo=t to be over. Not because I feel any sympathy whatsoever for the convicted=spy who will be paroled in November after spending 30 years in prison. No,=what relieves me is that, once he’s freed, we’ll be spared=the spectacle of respectable American Jewish leaders calling for his early=release." Read more...=/a>

Cities

Feldman: "Boston’s wo=ld-class universities and hospitals make it a globally significant metropo=is. But its residents have rejected the cosmopolitan dream of hosting the =024 Summer Olympics, causing the U.S. Olympic Committee to cut ties with t=e city Monday. The public intransigence wasn’t just an expression =f fiscal caution. It was something deeper, a self-conscious embrace of pro=incialism as a value."

Wall Street

Matt Levine: "One striking th=ng about modern financial markets is how many of the transparent, anonymou=, all-to-all markets end up dominated by dealers anyway: Electronic tradin= reduced the dominance of banks in equities and Treasuries, but high-frequ=ncy traders came in to fill the void. It turns out that markets like havin= middlemen to tell them what the price is." Read more...

SPORTS

Kavitha A. Davidson: "To the =urprise of absolutely no one, the NFL has upheld the four-game suspension =iven to Tom Brady by the NFL. But the great suckhole of time and energy th=t is Deflategate still hasn't run its course." Read more...

Davidson: "A great summer for=women in sports just got even better, with the Arizona Cardinals announcin= they've hired the NFL's first female coach." Read more...

Jobs

Megan McArdle: "A $15 minimum=wage would probably cause some job loss in the New York City area, but it =ould be devastating to upstate, where wages are much lower. The median hou=ly wage for New York State is only $19.65, meaning that fast-food workers =ill now be paid 75 percent of the median for doing work that involves so l=ttle skill that it is frequently performed by teenagers who aren't old eno=gh to drive. And in the poorer regions, that disparity is likely to be eve= more stark." Read mor=...

Economics

Noah Smith: "Rational expecta=ions might really be wrong. People might make systematic errors, thinking =hat booms or busts will last forever. If that’s the case, then it =ill require the economics profession to abandon one of its strongest ortho=oxies." Read more...

Companies

Mark Gilbert: "Few institutio=s understand the time value of money as well as the world's major oil comp=nies. Spending billions of dollars digging holes in the ground in the hope=of finding enough black gold to make a profit in the following decades mea=s taking a long view of what a dollar is worth now versus what its value m=ght be years hence. And that, in turn, helps explain why BP shares are ris=ng today even after the company reported its worst profit in at least a de=ade." Read more...=/span>

Media

Justin Fox: "I’m gues=ing that the next thing we’ll see is the collapse of midsize newsp=per after midsize newspaper as the cost-cutting reaches its logical conclu=ion. There have been lots of newspaper closures before, but they’v= mostly been of also-rans whose departures left the market in the hands of=the dominant local paper. Now I think the end is near for the dominant pap=rs too." Read more...<=a>

Education

McArdle: "The study still fou=d appalling high levels of rape -- nearly 11 percent of men in the study r=ported completing at least one rape either in college, or before. The scop= of the problem is real. But the shape may be much different than we thoug=t." Read more...<=span>

Russia

Leonid Bershidsky: "Russian P=esident Vladimir Putin is nothing if not cunning when it comes to dealing =ith his adversaries. When he signed a law allowing the government to ban a=y nongovernmental organization deemed 'undesirable,' it was clear some for=ign NGOs would suffer. What was less obvious -- though, in hindsight, inev=table -- is that organizations would start getting flak in the West for not having the law applied to them." Read more...
