Josh Rogin: "Days after the U=S. and Turkey announced a breakthrough deal to fight together against the =slamic State, U.S. officials are insisting that -- contrary to reports -- =here are definitely no U.S. plans for a 'safe zone' inside Syria. In fact,=there really is no 'zone,' and there is no plan to keep the area 'safe.'"<=span> Read more...=/p>

Middle East

The Editors: "Above all else,=collective security requires solidarity. So NATO ambassadors were correct =o keep the focus of Tuesday's extraordinary meeting about Turkey squarely =n the need to fight terrorism 'in all its forms and manifestations.' It's =oubtful, however, that prosecuting members of Turkey's parliament is what =hey had in mind." Read=more...

Science

The Editors: "The fight again=t Alzheimer's disease tallied a small victory last week, when two new drug= were found that possibly slow its relentless attack on brain cells. But t=e search for a cure isn't moving nearly quickly enough." Read more...

Greece

Mark Buchanan: "One of the mo=e troubling elements of the recent drama over Greece's debt was the urge b= many to see a deficiency of national character, rather than euro-zone eco=omics, as the problem. Right-leaning opinion, not only in Germany but arou=d the world, put the trouble down to Greek corruption and, worse, laziness= ... We shouldn't conclude much of anything from such comparisons. It's a =omplete myth that economic productivity somehow reflects the average abili=y of people to work hard." Read more...

Tech

Leonid Bershidsky: "There is =o way to shield oneself against that kind of unpleasantness from real-worl= strangers or, say, vandals who leave their messages on walls. In a two-ti=r system, anonymous trolls will be reduced to the status of nasty stranger=. Even now, the healthy reaction is to ignore or ban them, but with verifi=ation available, there will be no reason at all to treat trolls as people.=They will be fair game." Read more...

Economics

Noah Smith: "In Japanese comp=nies, boards are almost always made up of people who work for the company.=This provides a strong incentive for empire building in which managers try=to expand market share -- and their own perks and privileges -- instead of=profitability or shareholder value. Basically, Japanese managers can run c=mpanies like their own private fiefdoms, splurging on trips, bar girls and=other entertainment expenses." Read more...

China

William Pesek: "The stakes ha=e never been higher in gauging risks in China, which fund manager Bill Gro=s dubbed the 'mystery meat' of emerging markets. And yet Beijing is failin= in its own fiduciary responsibility to create a more sustainable economy.= Read more...

Investing

Mark Gilbert: "For gold, the =orst might not be over. It currently trades at a bit less than $1,100 per =unce, and it's expected to drop to $984 before January, according to the a=erage estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of 16 analysts and traders. But =o someone who appreciates the role that gold bullion, bars and coins can p=ay in an investment portfolio, that shouldn't matter." Read more...
