Will on FTC purse strings and the fashion giant merger
George Will argues the FTC overreaches in studying a Tapestry Capri deal. He notes combines would control a large share of luxury goods and warns the agency is misapplying antitrust fears to a market defined by prestige. He compares the agency to a failing baseball team and cites economic theories on positional goods and hedonic treadmill effects.

Biden eyes new moves to punish China and loosen Ukraine aid
David Ignatius reports that the Biden administration weighs sanctions on China for aiding Russia and may lift limits on Ukraine using U S short range weapons inside Russia. Blinken voiced a tougher stance after Beijing and Kyiv visits, citing dual use tech, machine tools, microelectronics, and satellite tech aiding Russia’s war effort. NATO’s Stoltenberg urged limited strikes across the border, signaling a possible shift in policy as Kyiv seeks stronger support amid Russian gains near Kharkiv and elsewhere.
