 Best of the Moment

Why Spain Will Leave the Euro

Michael Pettis | Economonitor | 18 May 2012

Just a matter of time. Painful, but no politically workable alternative. "The country has already started on the self-reinforcing downward spiral that leads to a crisis, and there is no one big enough to reverse the spiral" Comments

Lunch With The FT: Cornel West

Anna Fifield | FT | 19 May 2012

Main topic: Losing faith in Obama. He overpromised, underdelivered. “It’s like a novelist being obsessed with Tolstoy or Proust, and then he ends up writing short stories that can barely get into some middlebrow magazine." Ouch Comments

Hitler's Very Own Hot Jazz Band

Mike Dash | Smithsonian | 17 May 2012

Goebbels knew he had to engage the public, at home and abroad. "It was an effort that led directly to the creation of that oxymoron in four-bar form: A Nazi-approved, state-sponsored hot jazz band known as Charlie and His Orchestra" Comments

Fresno

Anonymous | n+1 | 18 May 2012

Essay. On growing up in an unhappy family in a blighted American town. "Fresno is amorphous, a conical blob that looks like a piece of bubble gum squashed against a sidewalk". Downtown died in the 1970s. Gangs took over the streets Comments

Addicts, Mythmakers And Philosophers

Alan Brody | Philosophy Now | 17 May 2012

Addiction assessed via philosophy. "For Socrates, ‘yielding to temptation’ is not being unwillingly overpowered, but is the experience of being a willing participant choosing what is at that moment wrongly thought to be best" Comments

What A Physics Student Can Teach Us About How Visitors Walk Through A Museum

Henry Adams | Smithsonian | 16 May 2012

Enjoyable blogpost on how people interact with museum exhibits. Suggests we often look at paintings for just three seconds, and very rarely for more than 45. Fine art encourages us to walk in orderly fashion, but not so modern art Comments

Cheat Sheet - What Happened to Obama’s Asia Pivot?

The Cheat Sheet

Today: Lockerbie Bomber Dies in Libya , Chen Guangcheng’s Flight to Freedom , At Least 4 Dead in Italian Quake
Cheat Sheet: Morning

May 20, 2012
DIPLOMACY

The president talked of shifting from Europe to Asia. But that idea has faded as the G8 and NATO meetings loom. Good riddance, writes The Daily Beast’s Leslie H. Gelb.

TERRORIST

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, convicted in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, died in Libya on Sunday at age 59, according to his brother. Two hundred seventy people were killed in the attack, and in 2001 Megrahi was convicted by a court in the Netherlands. In 2009 he was released from Scottish prison after a cancer diagnosis gave the bomber months to live. Upon returning to his home country of Libya, Megrahi was welcomed by then-ruler Muammar Gaddafi. Despite calls for the bomber to be extradited to the United States or the United Kingdom, leaders refused after toppling the dictator.

NEXT STOP, U.S.A.

Blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng arrived at New Jersey’s Newark Airport on Saturday night, capping a weeks-long diplomatic drama. The Daily Beast’s Melinda Liu reports from the plane on Chen’s hope for a new life in America—and concern for his aging mother back home.

TREMOR

Four people were killed by falling debris after an earthquake about 20 miles from Bologna, Italy, on Sunday. Two or more additional people may have been killed in the magnitude-6.0 quake in the historic northern Italian towns. The quake caused a ceramics factory to collapse in the town of Sant’Agostino and shook down the roof of a foundry in Tecopress di Dosso. Fifty or more people were injured in the disaster, reports said, as emergency officials rushed to the affected areas. It was the most serious quake to rattle the country since a 2009 tremor in L’Aquila that claimed almost 300 lives.

SURPRISE

It’s been quite the week for Mark Zuckerberg. On Monday the Facebook founder celebrated his 28th birthday, and on Friday he took his company public. One day later, the Facebook founder and Priscilla Chan wed in Palo Alto, Calif. The ceremony was held in Zuckerberg’s backyard with about 100 guests who all thought they were there to celebrate Chan’s recent graduation from medical school. Contrary to the lovelorn Zuckerberg portrayed in The Social Network, the two have been dating since they met at Harvard nine years ago.
