“A crisis is brewing” in Scotland. “Ms Sturgeon intends to demonstrate such demand for separation that a Westminster government using its constitutional power of obstruction would appear to be in egregious violation of democratic principle. If unionists do not want to be caught in that position, they need something more than a legal veto over a referendum. They need the political arguments that can win one.”

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine calls into question the wisdom of the environmental, social and governance movement’s policy centerpiece: restricting oil and gas investment.” Moreover, “the coordinated effort to depress oil and gas production is potentially a violation of American antitrust law. This combination of bad policy and legal risk will likely” cause the movement to “lose much of its support.”

Alex Rodriguez, the current home-run king and highest paid baseball player of all time, “has now made history of another sort as the recipient of the longest suspension ever for a doping violation.” If the arbitrator’s decision proves binding, he’ll be out a full season (162 games). “It’s clear that baseball’s steroid era isn’t over. But with a tough investigation and tough penalties, the sport appears finally to be turning the corner.”
