  2. Editorial: Why did the IRS muscle the right?

    Internal Revenue Service targeting of conservative groups startles many Americans because such abuses are rare but consequential: When the House Judiciary Committee approved Articles of Impeachment on a momentous Saturday night in July 1974, one of the most devastating charges was that Richard M. Nixon, "personally and through his subordinates and agents," had exploited the supposedly sacrosanct IRS to target foes on his notorious Enemies List.

  6. Will Dodd-Frank save (or stifle) capitalism?

    WASHINGTON -- It's been five years since the onset of the financial crisis -- the rescue of Bear Stearns in March 2008 -- and we still don't know whether the financial system is safe. In a recent speech, Daniel Tarullo, the Federal Reserve's point man on regulation, contended that substantial, though incomplete, progress has been made. As an example, he cited the doubling of equity capital for the 18 largest bank holding companies from $393 billion in late 2008 to $792 billion at the end of 2012. Equity capital is shareholders' money; it acts as a buffer against losses. Interestingly, JPMorgan Chase's well-publicized $6 billion loss by the trader nicknamed the "London Whale" confirms the point. Despite the loss's size, it never threatened a panic or overall financial stability.

  11. 10 things you might not know about hamburgers

    May is National Hamburger Month, and the industry hopes you'll forget all about last month, when a Utah man attracted publicity by claiming he had a 14-year-old McDonald's hamburger that has never been refrigerated yet looks like new — no mold, no decomposition.

McDonald's officials saw no cause for concern, theorizing that the burger looked like new because it was dehydrated, not embalmed in scary preservatives. Here are 10 juicy facts about hamburgers. Please pay attention — you'll be grilled for the answers.
