The Editors: "Voting rights a=e universal, and they should be universally protected. There's still a nee= for a robust Voting Rights Act. But those leading the crusade for changes=should aim to treat all the states -- and all kinds of voters -- equally."=Read more...

Middle East

Tobin Harshaw: "The arc of hi=tory shows that the checkbook bellicosity of the Gulf monarchies is hardly=new. The hyper-arming of the Middle East actually dates to the mid-2000s, =efore the U.S. and its partners began negotiating in earnest with Tehran o=er nuclear weapons." =ead more...

Economics

Noah Smith: "If minimum wages=don’t hurt employment, then a federal minimum wage is unfair to wo=kers in big cities because their raises will be less than those of small-t=wn workers. But if minimum wages do hurt employment, then small-town worke=s are going to be put out of a job -- and that's much worse. A much better=idea would be local 'living wage' campaigns, each one pushing for a number=that is appropriate to specific job markets." Read more...

Federal Reserve

Mohamed A. El-Erian: "Friday=E2��s jobs report probably won't change the general outlook for the U.=. labor market. But it is likely to have an impact on one of the financial=markets’ biggest obsessions: the date for the Federal Reserve�=80�s first interest rate increase in more than nine years." Read more...

2016 Elections

Albert R. Hunt: "The Republic=n debate on Thursday evening is sure to include contentious topics such as=immigration, Obamacare, taxes and Planned Parenthood. There should also be=occasion to debate Congress' constitutional responsibility to declare war =gainst Islamic State."

U.K.

Mark Gilbert: "London is a ho=bed of diversity and egalitarianism. It's not just the range of accents an= languages and skin tones jostling peacefully together; it's also a petri =ish of cultures and classes, with enough free art and music and theatre to=feed the soul of even the lowest-paid worker." Read more...

Russia

Leonid Bershidsky: "The saga =f the two Mistral helicopter carriers France built for Russia, but refused=to hand over because of the conflict in eastern Ukraine, is finally over. =he net result is that a French shipyard has been saved at the French taxpa=er's expense, while Russian taxpayers will pay to retool the country's wha=ves so the country can build more of its own warships." Read more...

Politics

Megan McArdle: "It may not be=so much that liberals don't care about sanctity, authority, and so forth, =s that they are culturally encouraged not to admit that they do. That may =eem like a distinction without a difference, of course, but I don't think =hat it is." Read more.=.
