Conservatives turn on Silicon Valley -- and the free market
James Pethokou
i Week
After the 2012 election, national Republicans made a concerted effort to hack into Silicon Valley. The Romney campaign had just gotten thoroughly outclassed by the Obama technology team, and the GOP figured it couldn't hurt to have closer ties with a sector of vast wealth and cultural influence.

60-second take: The history of failed North Korea diplomacy
North Korea's nuclear threat has been 35 years in the making. AEl's Michael Rubin looks back to determine just how effective the US diplomatic strategy has been in deterring Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program.

No, education reform isn't in retreat
Is big, bold education reform in retreat? The Every Student Succeeds Act ended the Bush Obama era of sweeping federal action embodied by the No Child Left Behind Act, Race to the Top, and the School Improvement Grant program. It also severely limited the US Department of Education's ability to unilaterally exert its will. Many find this all disheartening because they believe that major federal action is how the nation shows it cares deeply about something. Not always so.
