This is big, though overlooked, news. While Washington’s budget fracas grabbed everybody’s attention, the bond markets quietly rendered their verdict on inflation. Of the two events, the inflation verdict may be the more significant. Chronic inflation is a development only of the last half century, and especially the past 30 years. It has done enormous harm. It has worsened recessions; it has fostered, among farmers and others, massive land speculation, and it has spawned huge uncertainty....

Palestinian analysts say the strength of the Islamists is at a historical high: Hamas is already thought to be more popular in Gaza than Arafat’s larger and more moderate Fatah group. Some of Hamas’s leaders now talk about translating that might into political power. Mahmoud Zahar, one of the group’s leaders in Gaza, asserted last week that Hamas had the infrastructure to take over leadership “politically, financially and socially.” Arafat is worried about Hamas’s ascent and has offered the group membership into the already fractious Palestine Liberation Organization....
