And now a few words from Walter Russell Mead

Ruminating about the growing problem of student loans - here

" a college’s financial aid office can’t really be trusted any more than a used car salesman can be trusted to explain the credit products his company offers.
"Nanny staters worry about what size sodas we are drinking and how much salt a restaurant is putting on our fries, but nobody seems to care much about a generation of young people signing their futures away based on limited information."

Celebrating a typically American response to the rising cost of doctor's visits - here
Walgreens just became the first chain store to offer diagnosis and treatment services for chronic conditions like asthma and diabetes.......Care at places like Walgreens and CVS is as much as 30-40 percent cheaper than the same care at traditional doctors’ offices and 80 percent cheaper than an emergency room visits. And it’s not only cheaper; it will also help to expand access to care as the demand on doctors’ time grows under Obamacare.

Observing Pope Francis, the miracle worker - here
Jesus began his ministry by turning water into wine. Pope Francis has started his with an equally astounding feat: winning over the editors of the New York Times, who have published a raft of fawning stories highlighting Francis’s papal humility.
