Life Of The Party

Ryan Lizza | New Yorker | 2 March 2012

Our Great Moral Decline

RM | Economist | 2 March 2012

Really? Let's have a look at crime rate, abortion, charitable giving, affiliation with religion and out-of-wedlock births. And, while we're at it, let's think about what "moral" really means. Sober, sensible, interesting analysis Comments

The Incentive Bubble

Mihir Desai | Harvard Business Review | 18 February 2012

"Nothing is more important for a market economy than the structure of incentives for managers and investors. Unfortunately, the idea of market-based compensation is both remarkably alluring and deeply flawed." Here's why Comments

Tony Judt: A Final Victory

Jennifer Homans | NYRB | 1 March 2012

Cheat Sheet - Rush’s ‘Slut’ Apology Is Only a Start

Today: Tornadoes Leave 38 Dead , Russia Voters Allege Fraud , Romney Wins Washington Caucuses
The Daily Beast Cheat Sheet: Morning

March 04, 2012
Media Misogyny

In a rare show of humility, Rush Limbaugh apologized on Saturday for calling a Georgetown Law student a "slut" after she testified before Congress about contraception. The Daily Beast's Kirsten Powers rejoices in the mea culpa—but says it's time for the liberals who led the charge against Limbaugh to fess up to their own spotty records on media misogyny. Yes, it's true: Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Bill Maher have been waging a war on women for years.

DEVASTATING

Residents in the Midwest and the South on Sunday mourned the deaths of at least 38 people killed by tornadoes and storms as the cleanup effort began. Deaths were reported in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Alabama, and Georgia after a string of killer tornadoes swept through the area, destroying entire communities. But there were also stories of survival: 11 schoolchildren weathered a storm by taking cover under their desks in Indiana, and in Kentucky five people had to huddle in a basement as a church collapsed above them. A toddler was found alone in a field in Indiana—her mother, father, sister, and brother all died Friday.

AT THE POLLS

Russians headed to the voting booth Sunday, as current Prime Minister and former president Vladimir Putin sought a convincing return to the nation's highest office. But opponents said the presidential election was marred by fraud, listing alleged irregularities online while vowing to step up protests against Putin. The watchdog agency Golos said there were reports of busloads of voters being driven around to cast ballots multiple times at different voting stations.

GOP

More inevitability for Mitt Romney? Media outlets called Saturday night's GOP caucuses in Washington early in the night as the former governor took a double-digit lead. With all of the state's precincts reporting, Romney had 37 percent of the vote, while Ron Paul took 25 percent, just a percentage point ahead of Rick Santorum. Newt Gingrich was far behind at 10 percent. Ron Paul was the only candidate in Washington when the caucuses began; the others were all campaigning in Ohio in preparation for Super Tuesday.

SYRIA

The Red Cross hoped to enter the Syrian city of Homs for a third day Sunday, but government troops were still blocking their access and preventing them from delivering aid to besieged residents. "We have the green light. We hope to enter. We hope today is the day," said the Red Cross's Syria spokesman, Saleh Dabbakeh. "We are very concerned about the people in Baba Amro," he said, referring to the isolated neighborhood bombarded by forces loyal to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. A witness in the border town of Qusair, south of Homs, said government forces shelled the town and forced residents to flee on foot to neighboring Lebanon.
