Friday morning roundup

There really are smarter and stupider ways of eliminating your enemy.

India is dragging its "perpetually decrepit" urban infrastructure into the 21st century, with the Delhi Metro system leading the way. Your move, WMATA.

The Post is down, but I'm going to recommend two or three articles from the print edition, all about Elena Kagan. The first is about how her White House experience is invaluable because of the understanding it gives her of how government--particularly the Executive Branch--works (and doesn't work). Then, see the Ruth Marcus's column about how the assumption that single women are necessarily lesbians is unfortunate. If you'd like, see the article in the Style section about how it's only normal to wonder about sexual orientation, and if Ms. Kagan is a lesbian, it's not like there's anything wrong with that. But that's not the point; the issue is society's perception of single women.
