BAD DEAL
Public pressure on the National Basketball Association is rising while Clippers' sponsorship is falling, all due to Donald Sterling's racist remarks. The NBA looks ready to sanction Sterling and "encourage" him to sell the team—but, Robert Silverman writes, that would only earn him a huge profit if he even agrees to do it.
NOW THEY SEE YOU
America's gazillion-dollar Joint Strike Fighter is supposed to go virtually unseen when flying over enemy turf. But the Pentagon's poor decision making has left the F-35 vulnerable to new Russia and Chinese radar systems, Bill Sweetman writes.
MORBID
On Monday the a judge nicknamed "The Butcher" sentenced hundreds to death, including the head of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Bel Trew investigates the magistrate who is determined to kill all opponents of the government and acquit all its police.
TROUBLED WATERS

Paul Simon and wife Edie Brickell were arrested Saturday and charged with disorderly conduct following a "family dispute" in New Canaan, Connecticut. Both appeared at court Monday, smiling and holding hands. Neither was taken into custody and were only issued misdemeanors. Chief of Police Leon Krolikowski said when he arrived at their home Saturday night, there were minor injuries and "aggressiveness on both sides." He added, "Frankly, they're both victims." Simon, 72, and Brickell, 47, have been married since 1992.

MYSTERY

Aerial search efforts for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 have been suspended, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced Monday. Saying that since "none of our efforts in the air, on the surface, or undersea have found any wreckage," the search will have to move on to a far more expansive phase. The new focus will be 60,000 square kilometers of ocean floor. Searching that area the size of West Virginia could take six to eight months and cost as much as $56 million.
