Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slide as Warsh's Fed edges closer to rate hike. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slide as Warsh's Fed edges closer to rate hike.

Perspective signals
