The Wall Street Journal

Up to 100 ... from only 2 yesterday. That's how many are now quarantined, being observed for Ebola

LA's minimum wage boost to nearly twice the federal level will be a prime test to see if it helps lift workers out of poverty ... or increases joblessness and blunts growth.

Resignation (?) of Secret Service chief presages likely shake-up. Really?
