Ramesh Ponnuru: "Two story li=es about Pope Francis' politics have competed for airtime during his visit=to the U.S. this week. Is he the 'progressive pope,' a champion of the Dem=cratic Party's agenda, or is he a spokesman for universal values that tran=cend our tedious political divisions? The answer contained in his address =o Congress is: He's both." Read more...

Companies

Justin Fox: "So why exactly i= VW’s emissions-cheating this huge deal that has already cost the =hief executive officer his job and may now pose an 'existential threat' to=the company? I’ve been wondering about this all week. Two answers =eep rising to the top, and the weird thing is that they offer diametricall= opposed lessons for other corporations." Read more...

Health-Care Reform

The Editors: "Some medicines =ay be so unique and effective as to be worth buying at a high price. But b=th Medicare and private insurers need to know which ones they are."=Read more...

Declassified

Eli Lake and Josh Rogin: "The=e are now multiple investigations inside the intelligence community and on=Capitol Hill into whether senior intelligence officers at U.S. Central Com=and altered intelligence assessments of the U.S. war against the Islamic S=ate. The main whistleblower will meet with senior senators on the matter a= early as next week." Read more..=

Europe

Mark Gilbert: "You might expe=t that the Spanish government would have learned some important lessons fr=m the U.K. executive's near disaster in last year's Scottish referendum. A=parently not, judging from the scaremongering attempts to dissuade Catalan= from backing the region's secessionists in Sunday's election." Read more...

Leonid Bershidsky: "As it acc=pted the resignation of Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn on Wednesday, th= executive committee of Volkswagen's supervisory board praised his 'toweri=g contributions' to the company that stands to lose much of its $37 billio= cash stash making amends for major fraud committed on Winterkorn's watch.=Such graciousness is a German tradition, and it raises the question whethe= there's something fundamentally wrong with the country's corporate establ=shment." Read more...

Economics

Noah Smith: "The problem with=these emotional causes of risk tolerance is that unlike rational calculati=n, they can lead people to take risk with no compensating return. People m=y gamble simply to prove their own skill, or because they overestimate the=r chances of winning. Taking risk without getting higher expected returns =s bad for your financial health. The gender difference in risk preferences=may therefore be bad news for male investors."

Education

Megan McArdle: "In truth, I a= not opposed to early childhood education programs. I am opposed to blind =oosterism of such programs, the kind that confidently predicts marvelous r=sults from thin empirical evidence, and briskly proceeds to demand huge su=s be spent accordingly. There are three big problems with this." Read more...

Sports

Kavitha A. Davidson: "Basebal= lore is often about exaggeration, overvaluing a player's accomplishments =r obscuring his true place in the game with hyperbole. That isn't a risk y=u run when talking about Yogi Berra, who died Tuesday evening at the age o= 90." Read more...

Russia

Bershidsky: "The $12 billion =rbitration claim that Sergei Pugachev filed against Russia this week to ob=ain restitution of his seized assets could make him just another ex-oligar=h with a grievance. Russia has produced a fair number of these in recent y=ars. Yet the story behind the litigation exposes the predatory, inept bure=ucracy that now runs the enormous state sector of the Russian economy, and=shows how the romance and ambition that once propelled the transition from=communism to capitalism met its end." =a href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/click/5207765.13274/aHR0cDovL=d3dy5ibG9vbWJlcmd2aWV3LmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy8yMDE1LTA5LTI0L3doeS1hbi1leC1vbGln=XJjaC1pcy1zdWluZy1ydXNzaWEtZm9yLTEyLWJpbGxpb24/55086a4c3b35d051538c37ccBac=1fc6d" style="text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;line-height:1.6em">Read=more...
