As Conor Sen warns, we're about to find out.The Riddle of Wall Street Brain DrainTop college graduates are still flocking to Wall Street, even though Silicon Valley has stolen some of its luster. But does the Ivy-League-to-finance pipeline leave other industries begging for skilled workers? Noah Smith investigates (and finds reason to be worried).Clinton's Powerful, Unreliable CoalitionIt's been a grueling few weeks for Donald Trump in the polls, and Hillary Clinton is probably feeling buoyant.

Hunt notes that Democratic celebrities are hitting the stump, while Republican heavyweights are staying home.What John Kerry Should Do to Divide Iran and RussiaIran's constitution forbids foreign forces on its soil, but Russian warplanes are using an Iranian air base anyway. Eli Lake says that's an opportunity for tough diplomacy from the U.S. secretary of state.China's Emptying OceansSeafood, once a culinary luxury in China, has become commonplace; the country is now the world's largest consumer of seafood. But that's come at a price: There are almost no fish left in the East China Sea.
