- Report measures air pollution from Pa. shale industry
About 4% of the air pollution from Pennsylvania's industrial facilities in 2011 came from the shale natural gas industry, according to a report from the state's Department of Environmental Protection. Drillers produced 16,542 tons of nitrogen oxide in 2011 compared with 142,749 tons from power plants, the report found. "[E]ven if you are only focused on emissions from drilling and fracking, it's still a very small number when compared to other manmade emissions," said Andrew Paterson, the Marcellus Shale Coalition's vice president of technical and regulatory affairs.

- Logistics, not strategy, is the path to victory
Two new histories of World War II reveal the key role that logistics played in securing the Allies' victory, writes Michael Schrage. Little-known bureaucrats re-organized the U.S. and British supply chains to ensure the front-line fighters had everything they needed to succeed. "In wartime, logistics eats strategy for lunch," Schrage argues. CNNMoney/Fortune
