President Obama insists hes a free-market guy. But you have to wonder whether he understands how a free economy really works.

The most important quality any piece of writing can have is doneness.

The coverage of Central America in recent months points up one of the ugly truths about the American press: the better the news, the less of it you get. As the war began to turn against the Communist guerillas in El Salvador, there was a palpable dip in the attention paid to it.
