Anonymous | Spiegel | 14 May 2012 The view from Germany: "Greece has been in intensive care for years, but the patient, instead of recovering, is just getting sicker and sicker." Elections were final straw, it's time to leave the euro. Here's how it could happen Comments Jeffrey Toobin | New Yorker | 14 May 2012 How America's Supreme Court rewrote campaign finance law in the case of Citizens United. "The decision followed a lengthy and bitter behind-the-scenes struggle that produced both secret unpublished opinions and a rare reargument" Comments Shelley Kagan | Chronicle Review | 13 May 2012 You can't fault the Chronicle for not asking the big questions. The answer? Prospect of dying is unpleasant for most people. Process of dying is rarely much fun. Beyond that, it's just the opportunity cost of not being alive Comments Colin Powell | Newsweek | 13 May 2012 Reflections on Iraq war. "We eliminated the very officials and institutions we should have been building on, and left thousands of the most highly skilled people in the country jobless and angry—prime recruits for insurgency" Comments Benjamin Wallace | New York | 13 May 2012 How one man fooled some of the world's most knowledgeable wine collectors. It's easy to say they should have spotted the con, now that Rudy Kurniawan has been indicted for fraud. But vanity, greed, credulity can be a powerful brew Comments Sean O'Hagan | Observer | 13 May 2012 Story of Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, and how they changed war photography forever. Radical activists, lovers, chroniclers of Spanish civil war. Both died on assignment. "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough" Comments |
