  1. Travel guide fans, fear not: Frommer buys Frommer's from Google

    Things have not been looking good for travel guides lately. In mid March, BBC Worldwide announced that it would sell the Lonely Planet travel guide series for the low, low price of $77.8 million -- less than half of what it paid for the property in 2007, at a loss of more than $120 million. A week later, <a href="http://skift.com/2013/03/21/google-quietly-pulls-plug-on-frommers-print-travel-guidebooks/">news</a> came that Google, which owned rival travel guide Frommer's, would cease its print publication.

  2. Rolling back the tax breaks for supersized nest eggs

    President Obama's <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/budget/fy2014/assets/budget.pdf">budget proposal</a> included a number of proposals to increase tax revenue not by raising rates but by cutting back on tax breaks. The Wall Street Journal's editorial board <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324050304578412932073225110.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_AboveLEFTTop">singled out</a> one such measure for ridicule Friday: a cap on an individual's tax-sheltered retirement accounts at "an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per year in retirement, or about $3 million for someone retiring in 2013."

  5. Surveillance cameras and the Boston Marathon bombing

    Investigators in the Boston Marathon bombing <a href="http://www.boston.com/metrodesk/2013/04/17/boston-medical-center-reports-five-year-old-boy-critical-condition-victims-treated-from-boston-marathon-bombings/gkKXBTqL2jyNhsC2Kz5GyO/story.html">closed in</a> on suspects with surprising alacrity, shifting from "few leads" to "possible arrests" in a matter of hours. That's due in part to the ample resources and expertise that city, state and federal authorities threw at the crime scene. But it also reflects how much investigators had to work with. We should celebrate the former but think carefully about the latter.
