Megan McArdle: "Whether Beiji=g's policy has 'worked' is somewhat subjective; if you think that financia= panic was imminent, then maybe it has. But even if you think that the gov=rnment's policies have prevented a disaster, you still have to ask whether=they can actually sustain a recovery." Read more...

Law

Noah Feldman: "A goodly porti=n of the Washington legal establishment has filed a friend of the court br=ef asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the conviction of a securities=fraudster. But the court shouldn’t take the bait, or the case. The=court doesn’t, and shouldn’t, engage in what it calls erro= correction, except maybe in death penalty cases." Read more...

Banking

Leonid Bershidsky: "The price=at which the U.K. government has sold a stake in the nationalized Royal Ba=k of Scotland suggests it will lose money on the bank bailout it construct=d at the height of the financial crisis, something the U.S. has managed to=avoid. At the time, though, Britain's toughness on rogue bankers was prais=d and the leniency of the U.S. -- which didn't fully nationalize any big b=nks -- was condemned. So who was right?" Read more...

Asia

William Pesek: "Thailand's gr=wth is the slowest among developing nations, its exports may contract 4 pe=cent this year and Bangkok is the only major Asian stock market experienci=g outflows. The currency is down 7 percent in six months. Thailand's new r=gime has learned the hard way that running Southeast Asia's second-biggest=economy isn't as easy its officials once thought." Read more...

Food

Justin Fox: "Yes, there are a=ready lots of meal-replacement and nutritional-supplement drinks out there= but as [software engineer Rob] Rhinehart told the Verge, 'they're loaded =ith sugar, they're just way too sweet, and they don't really have the macr=nutrient balance or the glycemic index that I would feel comfortable susta=ning myself on or a user on.' Soylent substitutes self-righteous strangene=s for the sugar. Seems like a pretty good trade to me." Read more...

Sports

Kavitha A. Davidson: "Former =outhern Methodist University star and college football broadcaster Craig J=mes is suing Fox Sports, claiming the company fired him from a broadcast g=g because of "religious discrimination," which is code for saying it objec=ed to his unabashed homophobia. It seems James is determined to make himse=f a martyr and hope everyone will ignore his extremely checkered past." Read more...
