Victory in Chiapas signals PRI decline and reform questions
Our view argues Pablo Salazar's coalition victory in Chiapas marks a step in the PRI's erosion after seven decades of dominance. It questions whether free market reforms or a peace process with Zapatistas will follow, and warns that land rights and corruption risks could shape future change.

Who deserves credit for the good times in economics
Steve Chapman argues that the true architect of the current economy is Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, not Clinton or Bush. He credits Greenspan with managing monetary policy to curb inflation and sustain growth, while noting GOP fiscal discipline and limited spending also aided the surplus. Chapman also credits Clinton for reappointing Greenspan twice and for pursuing free trade and restrained regulation.
