The Editors: "No one familiar with the ugly history of Argentina's intelligence services would argue against its reform. Yet few would have chosen President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner to lead the charge -- and her dissolution of it is yet another effort to warp Argentina's government to suit her interests and allies." Read more... Barry Ritholtz: "Apple's first-quarter earnings were blowout numbers. Far beyond what anyone forecast, the figures show Apple arguably had the single-greatest quarterly performance in U.S. corporate history. ... How did Apple rack up such gigantic sales numbers?" Read more... Christopher Flavelle: "The White House is right: Abandoning President Barack Obama's proposal to end the tax exemption for some college savings accounts doesn't much affect the budget. But his reversal in the face of widespread criticism matters a lot from another perspective: It demonstrates the shallowness of the inequality conversation." Read more... Marc Champion: "The Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny recently said that were it not for Western economic sanctions, Russian tanks would already have swept west to the port city of Odessa, occupying a huge swath of southern Ukraine and cutting off the rest of the country from the Black Sea. He's probably right, yet it won't count for much if Ukraine's government doesn't take advantage of the respite sanctions have provided by changing course." Read more... Chandrahas Choudhury: The main plotline of the story of President Barack Obama's visit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, "carefully orchestrated by Modi (perhaps the most versatile Indian engineer of political symbolism since Mahatma Gandhi), was Indian pride." Read more... Ramesh Ponnuru: "Conservatives in Washington are increasingly confident that the Supreme Court will rule this summer that the White House has gone beyond its legal authority in implementing the Affordable Care Act. ... They would be wrong." Read more... Noah Feldman: On Tuesday, Roy Moore "sent the Alabama governor a letter asserting that Alabama judges aren't bound by the federal district court decision requiring issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples in the state. Moore's idiosyncratic view isn't completely crazy -- but it is dangerously wrong." Read more... Justin Fox: "The theme of the week so far in U.S. corporate earnings announcements has been that the rest of the world is dragging us down." Read more... Stephen L. Carter: "It's become commonplace of discussions about online privacy to assert that few people actually worry that much about the digital trails they leave as they travel through cyberspace." But that doesn't mean "that Internet users don't actually care about their privacy. They just don't care enough to stop using the Internet." Read more... Megan McArdle: "T. Rees Shapiro, the Washington Post reporter who has done an amazing job covering the debacle of Rolling Stone's story about an alleged rape at the University of Virginia, has gotten an interview with members of Phi Kappa Psi. This is the fraternity that was accused in the article of staging some sort of gang-rape initiation ritual. And the story its members tell is more than a little worrying." Read more... David Kahn: "Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announced Tuesday he would authorize $220 million in state bonds to help build a new arena for the National Basketball Association's Milwaukee Bucks, projected to cost $450 million to $500 million." Instead, here's an idea: "Build a dramatically smaller arena than currently exists in Milwaukee and similarly sized markets, developing a facility more in tune with the future of sports consumption while saving approximately $100 million in construction costs." Read more... Kavitha A. Davidson: Two former Vanderbilt University football players were convicted Tuesday "of raping a fellow student back in 2013. While it was a rare win for justice in such cases, it nonetheless highlights the many ways the system is stacked against victims." Read more... | |||
