Mohamed A. El-Erian: "Let's t=ke a deep breath: It shouldn't matter that much whether the Federal Reserv= decides this week to raise interest rates by 25 basis points, or possibly=even less. And the prospect of an increase certainly shouldn't produce dir= warnings about another 'Lehman moment' that would lead to global economic=and financial calamity." Read more...

Declassified

Josh Rogin: "The Obama admini=tration is preparing to announce a plan to admit more refugees over the ne=t two years, but at this point the numbers being proposed are too small to=relieve the crisis streaming out of Syria." Read more...

Greece

The Editors: "Whoever wins Su=day's parliamentary elections in Greece, the result will be unsatisfying u=less both Greek and European leaders can get with a simple, straightforwar= program: No more muddling though. Either Greeks accept the painful reform= necessary to keep the country in the euro -- or they reject them, return =o their currency and take full control of their economy. That's not the ch=ice Greeks will face this weekend." Read mo=e...

Health-Care Reform

Megan McArdle: "The Centers f=r Medicare and Medicaid Services inspector general has issued a new report=on what went wrong with the Obamacare insurance exchanges. ... The report =s very useful in its way. But ultimately, it focuses on side issues. Neith=r inadequate paperwork nor disclosure problems are why the exchange contra=ts went wrong. They went wrong because they could not do anything else: Th= task was too large, and the law’s architects didn’t under=tand how big it was." Read more...

Media

Justin Fox: "The past 15 year= would have been really tough for the Los Angeles Times no matter what. ..= Still, one can’t help but wonder what might have happened if the =ribune Co., owner of the Chicago Tribune, several other big-city newspaper= and a bunch of television stations, hadn’t bought Times Mirror, t=e LA Times’ parent, in 2000." =a href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/click/5155743.13690/aHR0cDovL=d3dy5ibG9vbWJlcmd2aWV3LmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy8yMDE1LTA5LTE2L2xvcy1hbmdlbGVzLXRp=WVzLW5lZWRzLWEtZGVhbC10aGF0LWxldC1zLWl0LXRocml2ZQ/55086a4c3b35d051538c37cc=7dd9ed0d" style="text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;line-height:1.6em">R=ad more...

2016 Elections

Francis Wilkinson: "[Wisconsi= Governor Scott] Walker has now dragged unnamed 'union bosses' -- who, in =015, would actually recognize their names? -- out for another flogging. In=tead of overhauling his anti-union message, which would pose clear risks t= a candidate increasingly deemed inconstant, Walker is re-emphasizing it, =ighlighting a plan to clobber unions wherever they still draw breath."

Law

Stephen L. Carter: "[Kim] Dav=s, a Kentucky state official until recently so obscure that reporters coul=n’t get her political affiliation straight spent five days in jail=for contempt after defying a court order to issue marriage licenses to sam=-sex couples. Upon her release, she was hailed by a handful of activists a=d politicians as a martyr for religious freedom. Everybody knows that. I=E2��m betting, however, that six months from now few people will remem=er Davis’s name, whether or not they agreed with her stand."R=ad more...

Economics

Noah Smith: "Tech stocks that=have gone public in the past couple of years have performed badly after th=ir share sales. But when stocks perform poorly after an IPO, it means that=the public bought at inflated prices. And if the public bought at inflated=prices, it means that demand was very high, not low. Investors snapped up =ny tech IPO they could get their hands on, even if it meant paying a premi=m. So tech IPOs are declining not because the public is shunning them, bu= because tech companies are choosing to stay private." Read more...

Sports

Kavitha A. Davidson: "The Int=rnet gambling act's fantasy sports exception, having passed before daily f=ntasy was a thing, raises big questions when it comes to sites such as Dra=tKings and FanDuel." Read more...<=p>
