Jonathan Bernstein: "The Repu=lican Party, partially but not entirely thanks to Donald Trump, just gave =s perhaps the most entertaining debate in presidential primary history. An= it also showcased a field of talented politicians. But the problem is tha= everything was within a framework of a still-broken party." Read more...

Albert R. Hunt: "Donald Trump=couldn't resist being himself. That made him a dominant force in the first=Republican presidential debate, reinforcing his image as a bully in an eve=ing that produced fireworks, but probably changed nothing." Read more...

Ramesh Ponnuru: "Maybe the po=ls will prove me wrong, but I didn’t think the night actually went=well for [Donald] Trump. The crowd didn’t like it when he refused =o say he would back the Republican nominee. And he was at his least attrac=ive in an exchange with Megyn Kelly, one of Fox News’s three moder=tors for the debate." =ead more...

Bernstein: "[Carly] Fiorina .=. was animated (unlike the oddly sonorous Lindsey Graham), smooth (unlike =ick Perry, who as usual in these things took a while to warm up) and at le=st plausibly of the 21st century (unlike Bateson candidates Jim Gilmore and George Pataki and Ri=k Santorum, who answers every question by talking about what he did in Con=ress in the 1990s). That probably is not enough to make her the story of t=e night once the main event is over -- especially since I'm not sure how w=ll some of her confident-sounding foreign-policy answers will hold up to s=rutiny."

Asia

The Editors: "After 50 years =f ceaseless striving, Singapore can afford to relax just a little. If it w=nts to keep amazing the world, and to extend its miracle into a new era, i= may have to do just that." Read more...

China

Adam Minter: "China's debate =ver IVF is partly a debate over single motherhood. China still reveres -- =nd its government still promotes -- traditional family structures. Women a=e expected to marry and bear a child to carry on a family line; those who =ait past their mid-twenties are widely stigmatized as 'leftover women.' An= the only status that's considered worse for women than not marrying and h=ving children is having one without a spouse." Read more...

Entertainment

Justin Fox: "Every day, anoth=r entertainment giant or two reports earnings, and every day markets react=with dismay. It isn't that the earnings are so bad: This morning Viacom�=80�s results met expectations and Twenty-First Century Fox’s bea= them. But the continuing decline in the number of pay-TV subscribers -- b=th cable and satellite -- is raising fears that these companies’ p=ofits will be under pressure in the future." Read more...

Cars

Edward Niedermeyer: "If Tesla=can convince its investors to keep taking the long view on its business, i= may be able to raise enough debt or equity to bridge the death zone betwe=n now and late 2017, when its mass-market Model 3 is due to appear. But th=t requires finding investors willing to keep faith in a company that can n= longer back up the illusion that it is somehow fundamentally different th=n any other automaker. And even if it can pull that off, sooner or later i= has to start actually building and selling cars on schedule and in high v=lumes." Read more...

Asian Economy

William Pesek: "Indonesia has=come a long way since Oct. 20, when Joko Widodo was sworn in as president.=Unfortunately, the distance the country has traveled has been in the wrong=direction." Read more.=.

Law

Noah Feldman: "What counts as=discrimination? In our post-Ferguson era of heightened awareness of dispar=te racial treatment by police, no domestic question is more pressing. The =.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has just addressed it in the cont=xt of a Texas voter identification law -- and gave a measured, socially as=ute answer." Read more=..

Russia

Leonid Bershidsky: "Russian P=esident Vladimir Putin has mounted a new campaign in his propaganda war wi=h the West: The highly publicized destruction of imported food, which the =overnment banned last year in retaliation for Western economic sanctions. =his time around, though, his constituents aren't quite with him." <=pan class="topic-read-more" style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;text-=ecoration:none;color:#00b9e7;font-weight:normal;font-size:17px;line-height=1.6em;text-transform:none">Read more...

Latin America

Mac Margolis: "As Latin Ameri=a's biggest economy tanks and jobs disappear, debt collection has become a=growth industry. Collection agencies may no longer deploy clowns to family=doorsteps to shame debtors into compliance -- that's illegal -- but they a=e relentless and too often press their claims with all the finesse of a Co=leone." Read more...

Sports

Kavitha A. Davidson: "The Tam=a Bay Buccaneers have launched a new campaign to bring in female fans. Tha='s good! ... Unfortunately, instead of making their female fans feel value=, the Bucs' initiative, RED, is a slap in the face to every woman hoping t= be taken seriously. It's a new program built on the old tropes that women=don't understand football and that the way to a female fan's heart is thro=gh her wardrobe." Read=more...
