    Will Voters in Scotland Decide to Go It Alone?

    As the NATO summit ended today in Wales, Prime Minister David Cameron was trying to keep his own country together. In less than two weeks, the UK will no longer be the “United Kingdom” if Scotland votes to become independent. There’s a lot at stake for America, the global economy, diplomacy and international defense.

    As the NATO summit ended today in Wales, the host—Prime Minister David Cameron—was trying to keep his own country together. In less than two weeks, the UK will no longer be the “United Kingdom” if Scotland votes to become independent. More than 300 years of history will come to an end, and maybe even the Union Jack—the original red, white and blue. Despite jokes about Mel Gibson dressed in a kilt, there’s a lot at stake for America, the global economy, diplomacy and international defense.

    Also, NATO responds to Ukraine and ISIS. Plus: is baseball being destroyed by a simple technology?
