Don't bring America's longest war to end just yet
President Joe Biden, a longtime critic of U.S. military strategy in Afghanistan, can't be eager to preside over the 20th anniversary of what is already America's longest war. But if he's to secure U.S. interests and give Afghans a chance at achieving peace, he won't have much choice.

Abolishing Peace Corps would be mistake
“Why should you, a white woman, go work in Africa?” The question was from an African-American newsroom colleague, and it knocked me back. It was the late 1990s, and I had just announced that I was joining the Peace Corps, assigned to a remote public health post in Zambia, in southern Africa.

US must step up to help WTO succeed
The new head of the World Trade Organization, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, starts work this week. Hopefully she likes a challenge. She takes charge of an institution once seen as vital for global prosperity but now widely regarded as moribund, and she'll need to contend with a new climate of opinion that seems to regard free trade as passe and measures to build domestic economic resi...

Powell's reassurance and question for future
The stock market applauded Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's testimony to Congress Feb. 23, rebounding on his assurance that an increase in interest rates is nowhere in sight. Powell's message was well-grounded as well as reassuring - but there's no disguising the challenges that lie ahead for monetary policy.

How to improve Affordable Care Act
Here's some news from 2020 that seems almost good: Despite heavy job losses during the pandemic, the proportion of Americans without health insurance didn't spike, as you might have expected. Some employers maintained their coverage. Many of those who lost their employer-provided policies picked up Medicaid coverage instead. And others bought individual policies on the state ...

Long, slow demise of Israel-Palestine peace process
Long, slow demise of Israel-Palestine peace process
Twenty-five years ago last week, I rushed to the scene of a powerful explosion in downtown Jerusalem. A 22-pound bomb packed with nails and ball bearings and live bullets had been detonated on the No. 18 bus at 6:46 on the morning of Feb. 25.
