High court will again
weigh required fees to
public-employee unions
BY R OBERT B ARNES
With a conservative majority
back in place, the Supreme Court
on Thursday announced that it
will once again hear a challenge
to the required payment of fees to
public-employee unions, an im-
portant but controversial tool for
the American labor movement.
Some public employees say
their free-speech rights are violat-
ed by the requirement, and con-
servative legal activists have at
least twice asked the Supreme
Court to overturn a decades-old
precedent that allows agency
fees. Approximately 20 states al-
low them.
It appeared the challenge
would be successful the last time
the issue was before the court, in
January 2016. But Justice An-
tonin Scalia died a month later,
and the court announced that it
had split 4 to 4 on the issue.
Now Justice Neil M. Gorsuch

to further rig the economic rules
against everyday working peo-
ple, said Lee Saunders, president
of the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Em-
ployees.
The billionaire CEOs and cor-
porate interests behind this case,
and the politicians who do their
bidding, have teamed up to deliv-
er yet another attack on working
people by striking at the freedom
to come together in strong
unions, he said.
The case involves only
public-employee unions not
private workers but those
unions are the strongest segment
of an organized labor movement
that is increasingly tied to the
Democratic Party. At the same
time, Republican governors
across the nation have become
embroiled in high-profile battles
with the public-employee unions
in their states.
Challengers are directly asking
the court to overturn a 1977 deci-
sion, Abood v. Detroit Board of
Education, that favored the
unions. That ruling said states

Gorsuch gives speech at Trump hotel
BY R OBERT B ARNES
The controversy remained out-
side Trump International Hotel
on Thursday afternoon. Inside,
Supreme Court Justice Neil M.
Gorsuch delivered a tribute to
civility and free speech to a con-
servative education nonprofit.
Gorsuchs speech stirred pro-
tests because of its setting: The
Pennsylvania Avenue hotel is at
the center of a lawsuit over
whether commercial payments to
President Trumps companies im-
properly benefit the man who
nominated Gorsuch to the court
earlier this year.
Outside, protesters organized
by the abortion rights group
NARAL and other organizations
inflated a large figure in a hazmat
suit for a corruption cleanup.
They chanted that Gorsuch was a
sellout.
Even Senate Minority Leader
Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) re-
leased a statement saying Gor-
such should not have gone to the
hotel.
Justice Gorsuch speaking to a
conservative group in the Trump
Hotel, where the president con-
tinues to hold a financial stake, is
everything that was wrong with
his nomination, Schumer said.
But Roger R. Ream, president
of the Fund for American Studies,
told the crowd of conservative
donors in the gilded Presidential
Ballroom that politics had noth-
ing to do with the luncheon cel-

member that democracy depends
on our ability to reason and work
with those who hold very differ-
ent views from our own.
We have to learn how to not
only tolerate different points of
view but to cherish the din of
democracy.
Some critics were upset that
Gorsuchs visit to the hotel came
on the heels of a trip with Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McCon-
nell (R-Ky.) to the senators alma
maters, where Gorsuch gave lec-
tures and answered questions.
Other justices give similar
speeches frequently, but McCon-
nell played a key role in blocking
President Barack Obamas nomi-

Gorsuchs nomination.
The hotel is the focus of a
lawsuit alleging that payments to
Trumps companies violate the
Constitutions emoluments
clause, which forbids federal offi-
cials from accepting payments
from foreign governments and
compensation beyond their sala-
ries from the federal government
or the states.
Facing calls to divest his busi-
ness interests, Trump turned over
management of the Trump Or-
ganization to his two oldest sons
and vowed to reap no hotel prof-
its during his presidency. But
against the advice of top federal
ethics officials, he has retained
his ownership stake in the hotel,
allowing him to eventually profit
from the business.

We are now one step closer to
freeing over 5 million public sec-

fighters, and other employees
from the injustice of being forced
to subsidize a union as a condi-
tion of working for their own
government, Mark Mix, presi-
dent of the National Right to
Work Legal Defense Foundation,
said in a statement.
The lead plaintiff in the case
the court accepted is Mark Janus,
a child-support specialist at the
Illinois Department of Health-
care and Family Services.
Union leaders responded to the
courts decision to take the case by
saying the real players behind the
effort are those who want to blunt
the effect of public-employee
unions, the most muscular part of
todays labor movement.
The Janus case is a blatantly
political and well-funded plot to
use the highest court in the land
could allow public-employee
unions to collect fees from non-
members to cover the costs of
workplace negotiations but not
the unions political activities.
The unions say losing those
fees would be a heavy blow be-
cause there is no incentive for
workers to pay for collective-bar-
gaining representation they
could receive free. About 20
states, including California, allow
what the unions like to call fair-
share fees.
But conservative justices have
sharply questioned whether it is
possible to separate public-
employee negotiations from the
kind of public-policy questions
teacher salaries and classroom
sizes, for instance, and the tax
dollars needed to pay for them
that are raised.
The case is Janus v. AFSCME

The General Assembly,

As a candidate in 2014, Rauner

The proposal would allow
abortions funded by state

The project won several

Ocials target sanctuary cities in latest round of immigration arrests

BY M ARIA S ACCHETTI
The Trump administration has
arrested hundreds of undocu-
mented immigrants in cities that
are hostile to the federal govern-
ments deportation crackdown,
the latest salvo in a growing battle
over sanctuary jurisdictions.
Federal officials said Thursday
that Operation Safe City specifi-
cally targeted some of the fiercest
opponents of President Trumps
immigration policies, including
New York, Los Angeles, Baltimore
and Washington.
In all, 498 immigrants, includ-
ing 28 in Baltimore and 14 in the
District, were taken into custody
in a four-day operation that end-
ed Wednesday, officials said. Just
under two-thirds of those arrest-
ed had criminal records in the
United States.
Hundreds taken into
custody, but not all have
criminal records
We are never going to stop
enforcing the laws that were au-
thorized and required to do, said
Matthew Albence, an executive
associate director of U.S. Immi-
gration and Customs Enforce-
ment. If we need to go into these
locations every week, we will go
into these locations every week to
remove these public safety
threats.
The arrests were a provocative
move by an administration that
has attempted to penalize juris-
dictions that refuse to cooperate
with federal deportation efforts
but has met with resistance at
every turn. Federal courts have
largely blocked Trumps January
executive order that threatened
to strip federal grant money from
such cities and towns.
Hundreds of jurisdictions re-
strict how much their local offi-
cials can cooperate with immigra-
tion agents. Some limit their ac-
cess to local jails or refuse to
provide federal authorities with
information about immigrants
arrested for local crimes.
Administration officials say
these cities shield criminals from
deportation. But advocates for
immigrants say police responsi-
bilities do not include enforcing
civil immigration laws and warn
that doing so makes otherwise
law-abiding immigrants less like-
ly to report crimes.
These raids are simply an-
other attempt by the president
and his anti-immigrant chiefs to
bully cities into undermining the
constitutional protections of all
residents, irrespective of their im-
migration status, said U.S. Rep.
Michelle Lujan Grisham
(D-N.M.), chairwoman of the
Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
Despite the administrations
stepped-up arrest efforts, the lat-
est data shows that the number of
deportations has fallen over the
past 12 months.
In New York City, officials said
Thursday that they would stand
by their policy of cooperating
with immigration officials only in
cases involving individuals who
have been convicted of a serious
or violent felony within the past
five years, or who are on the
terrorist watch list.
New York City has the greatest
number of immigrant residents
weve had in a century, and are
the safest weve been in modern
history, said Rosemary Boeglin, a
spokeswoman for Mayor Bill de
Blasios Office of Immigrant Af-
fairs. We will continue to volun-
tarily cooperate on requests from
federal immigrant enforcement
within the parameters of our lo-
cal laws.
Immigration officials said such
decisions by cities force them to
arrest people on the streets,
which could endanger federal
agents and the public, rather than
focusing their efforts on immi-
grants who are in jail for local
crimes and eligible for deporta-
tion.
Officials said there have been
37 assaults against immigration
authorities this fiscal year, which
began last Oct. 1, compared with
nine in fiscal 2016.
During this weeks arrest oper-
ation, officials said, an armed
gang member in Los Angeles al-
legedly rammed their vehicles
with his own when they tried to
arrest him. He was taken into
custody.
Sixty-three percent of those ar-
rested in Operation Safe City,
about 317 people, had convictions
for crimes including drunken
driving, sex offenses and drug
charges. They included a Balti-
more woman from El Salvador
who had been convicted of first-
degree assault, a sex offender
from India who lives in Boston,
and a Guatemalan national living
in Denver who has six drunk-driv-
ing convictions. One hundred
eighty-one people arrested had
no criminal records.

Deportations are down, but its not for lack of eort by ICE
DEPORTED FROM A1
agents have made 43 percent
more arrests since Trump took
office compared with the same
period last year.
While ICE took into custody
more immigrants with criminal
records, the fastest-growing cat-
egory of arrests since Trumps
inauguration is those of people
facing no criminal charges.
The agency arrested more than
28,000 non-criminal immigra-
tion violators between Jan. 22
and Sept. 2, according to the agen-
cys records, a nearly threefold
increase over the same period in
2016.
ICE has taken the gloves off,
and they are going after whoever
they want and for whatever rea-
son, said Ray Ybarra Maldonado,
an immigration attorney in Phoe-
nix. Its a free-for-all now.
There appear to be several fac-
tors that explain why deporta-
tions have declined despite the
increase in arrests, according to
policy experts, immigration attor-
neys and current and former ICE
officials.
The number of people attempt-
ing to sneak across the U.S. border
with Mexico fell dramatically in
the months following Trumps in-
auguration, reducing the supply
of easy-to-deport immigrants.
And while the administration
has directed ICE to ramp up en-
forcement, antipathy toward the
presidents policies has super-
charged the fundraising ability of
advocacy groups and pro-bono
law firms that help immigrants
fight deportation.
The additional arrests and liti-
gation appear to be putting a new
burden on the U.S. federal immi-
gration court system, which faces
a backlog of more than 600,000
cases.
It may take years before immi-
grants arrested under Trump can
be deported after exhausting
their appeals.
In just one example of new
efforts to challenge the presi-
dents immigration policies, the
Southern Poverty Law Center says
it has opened offices in four towns
with large ICE detention centers
in the past six months. Flush with
donations and offers from volun-
teer lawyers eager to help, the
group is providing free legal help
to hundreds of detainees, said
Dan Werner, director of the
Southeast Immigrant Freedom
Initiative.

ICE officials say they will con-
tinue to prioritize criminal sus-
pects, but their new marching
orders make clear that anyone in
the country illegally is subject to
arrest.
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), a
member of the House Committee
on Homeland Security, said
Trump is keeping his promise to
the American people to secure the
border, deport illegal immigrants,
and fix an immigration system
that has long been broken.
Asked to comment on this
years lower deportation num-
bers, Smith blamed sanctuary
policies and advocacy groups for
holding ICE back.
At every turn illegal immigra-
tion activists sue the administra-
tion and cooperating local law
enforcement to stop increased en-
forcement efforts, he said in a
statement.
While the number of U.S. juris-
dictions that have sought new
partnerships with ICE has in-
creased since Trump took office,
others with sanctuary policies,
such as Chicago, San Francisco
and Los Angeles, have become
less cooperative, according to
Randy Capps, research director at
MIKE BLAKE/REUTERS
the nonpartisan Migration Policy
Institute in Washington.
ICE can make arrests of poten-
tial deportees with targeted oper-
ations on the street or in private
homes, but they are relatively
costly and time-consuming be-
cause they require planning and
multiple ICE personnel, Capps
said. Picking up deportation-eli-
gible immigrants at jails and pris-
ons is much cheaper and far easi-
er logistically.
ICE needs those facilities to
hold on to potential deportees
after theyve served their sen-
tences or jail time and to give its
agents enough time to make a
pickup. Without more officers or
more cooperation, its unclear
how much more they can signifi-
cantly increase their arrest num-
bers, Capps said.
Some attorneys and immigrant
advocates say ICE has tried to
boost its sagging deportation
stats by going after the easiest
targets in particular immi-
grants who show up for regularly
scheduled check-ins with ICE
officers. Under the previous ad-
ministration, many were allowed
to stay for humanitarian reasons
if they faithfully appeared for pe-
riodic meetings with ICE and
didnt commit crimes.
But this year, an unknown
number have appeared for ICE
check-ins only to be arrested or
given an ultimatum to
leave. This is all about the low-
hanging fruit, said Charles Kuck,
an Atlanta immigration attorney
who teaches at Emory University.
Its how you can spend the least
amount of money to get higher
deportation numbers.
Kuck said 15 to 20 of his clients
have been arrested in recent
months this way. These are peo-
ple coming in just as ICE told
them to, so theyre almost de facto
not bad hombres, he said.
ICE officials say they are not
targeting such people but merely
upholding the law by enforcing
deportation orders. The Obama
administration is also to blame,
others say, for giving many of
those immigrants the unrealistic
expectation that ICE would let
them defer deportation indefi-
nitely.
The arrests have left immigra-
tion attorneys painfully unsure
how to advise their clients, said
Royce Bernstein Murray, policy
director at the American Immi-
gration Council, an advocacy
group.
Its a lose-lose, she said. If
they dont show up for their
check-in with ICE, they violate the
terms of supervision and become
a target for arrest. If they do show
up, they could be taken into cus-
tody anyway.
Many ICE agents praise Trump
for giving them more latitude to
do their jobs, granting more dis-
cretion over who they can arrest
and where. As a result, they have
increasingly detained a category
of people known as collaterals.
Under the Obama administra-
tion, ICE agents seeking to arrest
a suspect would not typically ask
for the documents of relatives and
other people living with the sus-
pect.
Now they have more discretion
to do so, resulting in additional
collateral arrests, including po-
tential deportees with no crimi-
nal record.
Philip Miller, a top ICE official,
said this week at a policy forum in
Washington that the agency will
conduct more street-level arrests
in jurisdictions that do not coop-
erate at the jails. Not very safe for
my officers. Not the most efficient
way to utilize our resources, he
said. But in jurisdictions that
dont work with us, were left with
no other choice.

Price has come under the most
intense scrutiny President
Trump chastised him publicly
Wednesday and suggested that his
job was no longer secure but
lawmakers are also demanding in-
vestigations into travel by Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency Ad-
ministrator Scott Pruitt and Treas-
ury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
And a private plane chartered
this summer by Interior Secretary
Ryan Zinke, for a flight from Las
Vegas to near his home in Mon-
tana, cost taxpayers $12,375, ac-
cording to a department spokes-
man. Zinke also used private flights
during a trip to the Virgin Islands.
Pruitt has taken at least four
noncommercial and military
flights since mid-February, ac-
cording to congressional over-
sight records, costing taxpayers
more than $58,000. Mnuchin is
under investigation by the Treas-
ury inspector general for his use of
a government plane to visit Ken-
tucky in August, as well as for
flying on an Air Force C-37 to
Washington after visiting Trump
Tower in New York City.
Last week, Prices office ex-
plained that he had turned to
chartered jets when needed for
the most efficient and effective
travel in managing his depart-
ment and maintaining contact
with the public.
This is Secretary Price, getting
outside of D.C., making sure he is
connected with the real American
people, said Charmaine Yoest, his
assistant secretary for public af-
fairs.
An HHS official said Thursday
that Price would write a check for
$51,887.31, which appears to cover
the cost of his seat on chartered
flights but not those of his staffers.
Politico, which first reported on
Prices repeated use of chartered
jets, has estimated the total ex-
pense of these trips exceeded
$400,000 and it reported early
Thursday evening that his White
House-approved flights on mili-
tary planes to Africa, Europe and
Asia had cost more than
$500,000.
Yoest said in an interview that
Price needed the military aircraft
for secure communications dur-
ing the overseas trips, which in-
cluded roughly a half-dozen aides.
His wife, Betty, also joined him,
Yoest added, but Price covered the
cost of her travel.
White House spokesman Raj
Shah said using military aircraft
for Cabinet and other essential
travelers is sometimes an appro-
priate and necessary use of re-
sources and such requests are
closely reviewed. Officials have
limited support missions to trav-
el that is central to the White
Houses mission.
Although Price said in his state-
ment that his private-charter trav-
el had been approved by legal and
HHS officials, he added that he
regretted the concerns this has
raised regarding the use of taxpay-
er dollars.
All of my political career Ive
fought for the taxpayers, Price
said. It is clear to me that in this
case, I was not sensitive enough to
my concern for the taxpayer. I
know as well as anyone that the
American people want to know
that their hard-earned dollars are
being spent wisely by government
officials.
Price said he will continue to
cooperate fully with the HHS in-
spector generals office, which is
reviewing the flights. He also said
he has initiated his own depart-
mental review to determine if any
changes or reforms are necessary.
On Wednesday, Trump was
noncommittal about whether he
would ask Price to resign. Re-
sponding to questions from re-
porters at the White House,
Trump said he was looking into
details of the secretarys travels
and that personally, Im not hap-
py about it, and I let him know it.
It is unclear whether Prices ges-
ture to defray part of the flights
cost will be enough to save his job;
the White House did not comment
on that matter after his announce-
ment.
At a briefing before Price issued
his statement Thursday, White
House press secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders said the presi-
dent and his aides were waiting to
see what happened with the HHS
inspector generals probe and oth-
er investigations also underway.
House Democrats, who requested
the inspector generals involve-
ment, have said Prices flights ap-
peared to violate federal law in-
tended to ensure that executive
branch officials use the most eco-
nomical travel available.
Senate Judiciary Committee
Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-
Iowa) asked Trump on Thursday to
impose a government-wide ban on
the use of charter flights by admin-
istration officials and to detail
what steps the administration has
taken to ensure that cabinet secre-
taries use the most fiscally respon-
sible travel in accordance with the
public trust they hold and the spir-
it and the letter of all laws, regula-
tions, and policies that apply.
That followed a request Tues-
day by the chairman and ranking
Democrat of the House Oversight
Committee that Price and more
than 20 other agency heads list all
use of private, charter aircraft and
government-owned aircraft by po-
litical employees since the presi-
dents inauguration.
The Treasury inspector general
is reviewing all of Mnuchins
flights and his travel requests, in-
cluding one his office made for a
government jet to fly him and his
wife, Louise Linton, on a honey-
moon trip to Europe this summer.
Were going through this proc-
ess, were going to do a full review
and well see what happens,
Sanders told reporters.
To be clear, the White House
does not have a role on the front
end of approving private charter
flights at agencies, she said.
Thats something were certainly
looking into from this point for-
ward and have asked a halt to be
put, particularly at HHS, on any
private charter flights.
Even some of Prices longtime
allies have questioned his frequent
use of private aircraft to journey to
places where he owns property,
such as St. Simons Island, Ga., and
Nashville. One trip included a get-
together with his son.
Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), who
chairs the House Appropriations
Subcommittee on Labor, Health
and Human Services, Education,
and Related Agencies, said in an
interview Wednesday that the jux-
taposition of the secretarys lavish
trips and the budget cuts he is
seeking posed a serious problem.
Optics matter in politics, Cole
said.

Zinke chartered oil executives plane with Interior funds

BY D REW H ARWELL
AND L ISA R EIN
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke
chartered a flight from Las Vegas
to near his home in Montana this
summer aboard a plane owned by
oil-and-gas executives, internal
documents show.
The flight, along with private
flights during a trip to the Virgin
Islands, could propel Zinke into
the growing debate over the costs
of travel by Cabinet secretaries,
some of whom have chosen ex-
pensive charter jets and military
planes at high expense to taxpay-
ers over the cheaper option of
flying commercial.
In June, Zinke and his staffers
took a four-hour flight from Las
Vegas to Kalispell, Mont., aboard
a private plane owned by the
executives of a Wyoming oil-and-
gas exploration firm, aviation
and business records show.
The landing in Kalispell put
Zinke a short drive from his home
in Whitefish, Mont., where he
spent the night, documents show.
The flight cost taxpayers
$12,375, according to an Interior
Department spokeswoman. Com-
mercial airlines run daily flights
between the two airports and
charge as little as $300.
The new flight details show
how Zinke has mixed political
gatherings and personal destina-
tions with his taxpayer-funded
work as the head of a federal
agency that manages or controls
the vast majority of federal land.
Interior Department spokes-
woman Heather Swift said
Zinkes charter flights were au-
thorized by ethics officials and
booked only when feasible com-
mercial flights were unavailable.
Previous interior secretaries flew
charter flights when needed,
Swift added. She did not provide
documentation of the approvals.
Zinke spoke the next day at the
annual meeting of the Western
Governors Association, Swift
said, and no commercial flight
was available that would have
gotten Zinke and his staff from
his Las Vegas speech to Montana
on time. Tickets for Zinke and
staffers were paid out of the
departments budget, Swift said.
Jay Nielson, the executive vice
president of Nielson & Associ-
ates, an oil-and-gas exploration
and production firm, co-owns the
plane through a holding compa-
ny, but he said he was not in
control of the plane at the time
and that it was chartered through
a company called Choice Avia-
tion. He told The Washington
Post he was unsure whether
Zinke flew on the plane and
added, Part of why people char-
ter planes is they like to remain
somewhat private.
A representative at Choice Avi-
ation, who declined to give her
name, said she was unsure
whether Choice chartered a flight
for Zinke, then said the company
did not charter the flight. She
then ended the call.
Details of the flight, some of
which were first reported by Po-
litico, are confirmed through in-
ternal calendars obtained by The
Post that depict a busy schedule
of travel for the secretary, whose
department oversees land and
natural resources.
Zinke took the private charter
flight in late June after giving a
motivational speech to the Vegas
Golden Knights, the citys new
National Hockey League team.
The team is owned by Bill Foley,
chairman of Fidelity National
Financial. Employees and politi-
cal action committees associated
with the financial services com-
pany donated a total of $199,523
to Zinkes two congressional cam-
paigns, Federal Election Commis-
sion records show.
Zinke was in the Las Vegas
area that day after flying on a
commercial Southwest Airlines
jet from Reno, Nev., where he
spoke the night before at a nearby
dinner in Lake Tahoe held by the
Rule of Law Defense Fund, a
conservative group of attorneys
general backed by the Koch
brothers.
Just before the Golden Knights
dinner, Zinke had appeared in
the tiny rural Nevada town of
Pahrump to announce a routine
local funding grant from Con-
gress to rural communities. It
was one of several official trips
that coincided with weekends
Zinke spent at his homes in Santa
Barbara, Calif., and Montana.
Aaron Weiss of the Center for
Western Priorities, a nonprofit
conservation and advocacy
group, said, Secretary Zinkes
entire Nevada trip appears to be a
flimsy excuse for a political event
in Tahoe and a thank-you dinner
with his biggest campaign bun-
dler.
There was no legitimate rea-
son for the secretary to be there
in the first place, Weiss said.
Then he saddles taxpayers with
the bill for a private plane when
he could have easily flown com-
mercial.
Zinke and his official entou-
rage also boarded private flights
between the Caribbean islands of
St. Thomas and St. Croix during a
three-day trip to the Virgin Is-
lands in March, his first month
on the job.
The spring trip included an
official snorkeling tour of the
nearby Buck Island Reef National
Monument, a centennial cer-
emony for a local holiday cel-
ebrating the islands transfer to
the United States, and a viewing
of a military parade.
Zinke also attended a Virgin
Islands GOP event and spoke on
behalf of President Trump. John
Canegata, chairman of the Re-
publican group, said in a state-
ment then that Secretary Zinkes
visit to our islands in his first
month on the job is a reaffirma-
tion of the strong commitment
that President Trump made to the
Virgin Islands during his cam-
paign. He added, By contrast,
the now-former administration
failed to send the Interior secre-
tary to the territory until the final
months of its second term.
Swift said several high-ranking
government officials attended
and reiterated that the depart-
ment has jurisdiction over terri-
tories such as the Virgin Islands.
She said the flights were taken
because no commercial flights
were available at the time. She
could not give a cost estimate for
the private airfare but said tickets
for Zinke and staff were paid out
of the agencys budget.
Several other trips also al-
lowed Zinke to attend political
events. One of Zinkes first trips
in Montana where he visited
Mammoth Hot Springs, attended
a Snow Removal Crew Meet &
Greet and gave brief remarks to
park staff in front of a rock-climb-
ing wall included an evening at
the Yellowstone Club, an ultra-
exclusive social club and ski re-
sort in Big Sky, Mont., for a
reception for Sen. Steve Daines
(R-Mt.), calendars show. Zinke
spent the next day at the Big Sky
Resort, which fliers say was host-
ing a weekend in the Montana
mountains as part of a fundrais-
er for a committee raising cash
for Dainess 2020 reelection cam-
paign. After another Daines re-
ception and dinner that evening,
Zinke spent the night at Dainess
home. He flew home the next day.
Zinke joins several Trump Cab-
inet secretaries, including Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency Ad-
ministrator Scott Pruitt and
Treasury Secretary Steven
Mnuchin, whose travels have
been questioned by agency in-
spectors general, members of
Congress and the public.
Health and Human Services
Secretary Tom Price said this
week he would stop flying on
charter planes and reimburse
some of the costs of his travel
aboard private jets, which cost
taxpayers more than $400,000.

Interior secretary and his workers feuding over loyalty, job reassignments
BY D ARRYL F EARS
As Interior Secretary Ryan
Zinke blasted many within his
department this week for being
disloyal to the Trump administra-
tions agenda, the agencys inspec-
tor generals office continued a
probe into whether officials acted
inappropriately when they
abruptly reassigned dozens of
senior workers.
Deputy Inspector General
Mary Kendall is working to de-
termine if the U.S. Department of
the Interior followed appropriate
guidelines and best practices in
the reassignment of Senior Exec-
utive Service employees, accord-
ing to spokeswoman Gillian Car-
roll.
The reassigned workers in-
clude Joel Clement, a scientist
and policy expert who was
removed from his job as director
of policy analysis and moved to a
revenue accounting position for
which he has no experience.
Clement became a whistleblower
drilling and logging on public
lands clashes with the goals of
scientists and others at the agen-
cy who study the effect of fossil
fuels and deforestation on global
warming. The mission of other
offices within Interior is to ensure
that taxpayers get a fair share of
royalties from mineral excavation
and that corporations pay the cost
of restoring land disrupted dur-
ing mining, drilling and logging
operations.
During a speech Monday to oil
and gas executives, Zinke, a for-
mer congressman from Montana,

Clement said Interior officials
never discussed his reassignment
with him before he received a
notice in June.
He believes . . . that the admin-
istration targeted him because he
was speaking out about the dan-
ger [of climate change] to Alaska
Native communities, said lawyer
Katherine Atkinson, who is repre-
senting Clement. As a result, they
labeled him as a climate guy.
Beyond how the reassignments
were carried out which Atkin-
son said violated the U.S. Code
its a waste of government money
to just arbitrarily move people
around in the hopes that they will
quit, she said.
Senior Executive Service mem-
bers are appointed by the heads of
agencies based on their job quali-
fications and serve at their plea-
sure. They can be reassigned at
any time, but certain steps must
be taken, including written notice
at least 15 days before the effec-
tive date of such reassignment,
according to the rules.
In addition, career appointees
may not be reassigned outside
their commuting area unless
the agency consults with the indi-
vidual, explains the reason for the
move and discusses his or her
preferences for the next job. In the
absence of a face-to-face meeting
or, presumably, a telephone call,
the person should receive a writ-
ten notice, with a statement of
the reasons for the reassignment,
at least 60 days before the effec-
tive date of the reassignment.
Clement and several other ca-
reer appointees say none of that
happened. One reassigned execu-
tive who asked for anonymity be-
cause of fears of retaliation said
she found out when a superior
was handed a blue envelope con-
taining six names, including hers.
Within an hour I got an official
letter giving me a week to accept
the new assignment, she said.

Scalise addresses a packed House in an emotional return

SCALISE FROM A1
Ryan (R-Wis.) from the rostrum.
To speak out of order, Mr.
Speaker, said Scalise, prompt-
ing another roar of applause.
The chamber was rife with
emotional displays. Scalise
made it three steps into the
chamber before Rep. Bruce
Poliquin (R-Maine) delivered a
bear hug. Democrats waved and
whooped at Scalise from across
the chamber. Faces throughout
the room tightened to stifle tears
as Scalise thanked God, family,
friends, colleagues, doctors and
the law enforcement officers
who ultimately killed the shoot-
er before he could do more harm.
Im not a big crier, Ryan told
reporters later, recalling a pri-
vate meeting with Scalise earlier
in the day. But I just was a
babbling idiot. I just could not
compose myself.
Scalise sat alongside other
GOP leaders House Majority
Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca-
lif.) and Chief Deputy Whip Pat-
rick T. McHenry (R-N.C.) but
also next to a close Democratic
friend, Rep. Cedric L. Richmond,
a fellow Louisianian who was
among the first lawmakers to
arrive at the hospital after the
shooting.
Scalise made his way through
the House halls in a scooter
emblazoned with the Louisiana
State University logo then got
back on his feet to cross National
Statuary Hall, greeting tourists
and reporters on his way to his
office. Trump later tweeted vid-
eo of Scalises remarks and wel-
comed him back to work.
Hodgkinson opened fire dur-
ing the GOPs early-morning
practice for the annual Congres-
sional Baseball Game, shooting
four people. He was pronounced
dead at a hospital after a gun
battle with police.
On the House floor Thursday,
Scalise reflected on prayers that
were answered and messages of
support he had received from
world leaders he had never met.
While some people might fo-
cus on a tragic event and an evil
act, to me, all I remember are the
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) is embraced in the House chamber after returning for the first time since being shot in June
during a practice for the Congressional Baseball Game. Doctors said Scalise was at imminent risk of death when he arrived in their care.
thousands of acts of kindness
and love and warmth that came
out of this, he said.
He gave special recognition to
the two Capitol Police officers
serving on his security detail,
David Bailey and Crystal Griner,
who were at the Alexandria ball-
park and fired shots that are
credited with preventing Hodg-
kinson from harming more peo-
ple.
You are my hero, Scalise told
Bailey, who sat in the House
gallery next to Scalises wife,
Jennifer. You saved my life.
Scalises return was particu-
larly emotional for a few dozen
Republicans who had been there
on the field 31/2 months ago,
dodging bullets and diving to
the ground, then trying to help
the wounded before the ambu-
lances arrived.
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who
was present at the baseball prac-
tice and among the first people
to reach Scalise after he was
shot, joined several senators
who rushed across the Capitol to
watch his return.
Rep. Charles J. Chuck Fleis-
chmann (R-Tenn.), who injured
himself when diving into the
dugout to escape the shooter,
reflected afterward on how the
happy drudgery of an early-
morning practice gave way to an
act of shocking violence.
Its still hard sometimes for
me to get my head around the
fact that a field that we played at
for seven years without incident
I mean, not even a protest
that that happened, Fleis-
chmann said. But Im just infi-
nitely thankful that all of the
people involved are making a
full recovery.
Scalise used his speech to
highlight the lifesaving work of
one of the unheralded players in
the shooting incident: Rep. Brad
Wenstrup (R-Ohio), a backbench
lawmaker in his fifth year in
office and a former combat
surgeon with a Bronze Star from
HOUSE TV/REUTERS
his Army tours in Iraq.
Wenstrup rushed to Scalises
side on June 14, applying tourni-
quets to keep blood loss down
until he could be flown to a
trauma center. As Scalise led a
standing ovation for Wenstrup,
the Ohio Republican darted
across the floor and into his
friends arms, both lawmakers
near tears.
The type of pelvic wound suf-
fered by Scalise is considered
extremely dangerous, doctors
say, because that area of the body
is crowded with organs and
blood vessels. It is home to the
iliac blood vessels, which in-
clude major arteries branching
off from the aorta.
Scalise underwent several
surgeries at MedStar Washing-
ton Hospital Center to repair his
injuries and, at one point, suf-
fered a setback because of an
infection that required addition-
al surgery. He was discharged in
late July to begin what doctors
called intensive inpatient reha-
bilitation at the adjacent Na-
tional Rehabilitation Hospital.
Scalise praised his medical
team Thursday: They gave me a
second chance at life.
MedStar said in a statement
that they watched with great
joy as Scalise returned to work.
For the past few months, our
teams have been in awe of Rep.
Scalise and his intense commit-
ment to returning to his family,
home and his important work on
Capitol Hill, the statement said.
A spokesman for Scalise said
the congressman will be resum-
ing his work at the Capitol, while
also completing an extended peri-
od of outpatient rehabilitation
over the coming months.
Scalises appearance Thursday
came with only minutes notice
for all but a tight circle of top
leaders and aides. But there were
signs that Scalise was preparing
his comeback: On Wednesday,
CBS News teased a coming 60
Minutes interview, airing Sun-
day, Scalises first media appear-
ance since the shooting.
My femur was shattered, he
told correspondent Norah
ODonnell, according to excerpts
of the interview released Thurs-
day by CBS News. The hip and
pelvis had serious damage
where the bullet went through
and, you know, did some damage
to areas that had to be shored up
with steel plates. And then they
did a phenomenal job of rebuild-
ing you know . . . rebuilding
Humpty Dumpty.
They put you back together
again, ODonnell said.
They put me back together
again, Scalise replied.

Most in poll
say climate
is boosting
hurricanes
Americans responses
break down largely
along partisan lines
BY E MILY G USKIN
AND B RADY D ENNIS
A majority of Americans say
that global climate change con-
tributed to the severity of recent
hurricanes in Florida and Texas,
according to a new Washington
Post-ABC News poll. That marks
a significant shift of opinion from
a dozen years ago, when a majori-
ty of the public dismissed the role
of global warming and said such
severe weather events just hap-
pen from time to time.
In a 2005 Post-ABC poll, taken
a month after Hurricane Katrina
ravaged the Gulf Coast and dev-
astated New Orleans, 39 percent
of Americans said they believed
climate change helped to fuel the
intensity of hurricanes. Today,
55 percent believe that.
The shift may in part reflect
scientists increasing confidence
and their increasing amount of
data in linking certain extreme
weather events with climate
change. Many researchers have
been unequivocal that while hot-
ter oceans, rising seas and other
factors are not the sole cause of
any event, the warming climate
is contributing to more-intense
storms and more-frequent, more-
crippling storm surges and flood-
ing.
Yet for many Americans, the
role of climate change has be-
come as much about political
beliefs as scientific findings.
Over the past decade, Demo-
crats and independents account-
ed for most of the growing per-
centage of Americans who said
climate change was a culprit in
the intensity of hurricanes. While
fewer than half of Democrats
said climate change was a signifi-
cant factor behind the intensity
of hurricanes in 2005, that figure
rose to 78 percent this month
after hurricanes Harvey and
Irma. Similarly, 42 percent of
independents saw climate
change as contributing to the
severity of hurricanes in 2005
a season in which hurricanes
Rita and Wilma hit the United
States while 56 percent now
do.
By contrast, attitudes among
Republicans have hardly
changed over the same period.
About 72 percent currently say
that the severity of recent storms
was merely the result of the kind
of intense weather events that
materialize periodically. In 2005,
70 percent had that view.
Younger adults are much more
likely to attribute a role to cli-
mate change in the intensity of
major storms, and their opinions
appear to have shifted sharply
over the past decade or so. The
new poll finds that 67 percent of
adults younger than 30 say cli-
mate change contributed to the
recent hurricanes power, as do
64 percent of those in their 30s.
Meanwhile, only about half of
Americans ages 40 to 64 say that.
The percentage is lower still for
people older than 65.
Despite the damage their
states suffered, the Post-ABC poll
finds that residents in Texas and
Florida appear more skeptical of
linking climate change and a
storms punch than Americans
nationally. The poll included 134
respondents living in one of the
two states, and just under half
say the severity of the recent
hurricanes was typical. Forty-
four percent say their intensity
was made worse by Earths
changing climate.
The Post-ABC News poll was
conducted Sept. 18-21 among a
random national sample of 1,002
adults reached on cellular and
landline phones. The margin of
sampling error for overall results
is plus or minus 3.5 percentage
points.

Getting goods to Puerto Rico is only a rst step
Containers stranded at
ports by storm-ravaged
distribution system
BY A RELIS R . H ERNNDEZ
AND S TEVEN M UFSON
Three days after Hurricane
Maria clobbered Puerto Rico, the
Crowley shipping company
opened its San Juan terminal
and switched on its computers.
When the port opened at 8 a.m.
the next day, the shipping firm
delivered 500 containers of com-
mercial goods. Three of its man-
agers had to cut their way out of
their homes to get there.
Four days later, those contain-
ers and others filled with goods
for stores such as Home Depot
and Walgreens have been lan-
guishing at the port. Retailers
hobbled by broken distribution
chains and damaged stores have
opened only a few outlets, and
customers have had to wait in
long lines.
Its pretty ugly out there, said
Jose Ayala, Crowleys vice presi-
dent for Puerto Rico services.
There is damage to the trucking
infrastructure, to the distribu-
tors, to the supermarkets, to the
roads. And then, if your infra-
structure is not so damaged, and
you can get a driver to the truck,
there is no fuel to move the
equipment.
About 15 federal agencies,
Puerto Ricos pain is nowhere more apparent than at hospitals
Only half its facilities are
functioning, and their
electricity is intermittent
BY S AMANTHA S CHMIDT
AND D ANIEL C ASSADY
san juan, puerto rico The
intensive care unit was swelter-
ing in the afternoon heat, the
doctors covered in sweat and
fanning themselves with their
scrubs. Already compromised by
weakened physical conditions
and a lack of food and water,
intubated patients melted under
individual fans.
Its an oven, said Cesar Castil-
lo, a surgery resident at Centro
Mdico Hospital in San Juan. Its
hard to get their fevers down.
It has been more than a week
since Hurricane Maria devastat-
ed Puerto Rico, and the humani-
tarian crisis that has ensued is
nowhere more obvious than in
the health-care facilities that of-
ten are without electricity and
always are overwhelmed.
About half of the islands hos-
pitals 33 are functioning.
Those that are accepting patients
have intermittent power and
have to pray that the diesel fuel
running their generators will last
until the next truck arrives.
Forced to take people from
hospitals that have closed, hospi-
tals outside San Juan are over
capacity and overwhelmed by
patients. Some hospitals have
become more akin to community
centers, with people lining up to
use the cafeterias, and relatives
of patients trying to use the
showers and bathrooms because
they dont have water at home.
Doctors across Puerto Rico say
that many patients, particularly
elderly ones, are arriving at hos-
pitals in deteriorating condition
because they waited too long to
seek treatment, in many cases
because they couldnt find the
gas to drive. Others worry that
since so many people are without
water and electricity, infections
and diseases will spread more
easily.
Numerous patients already
have been treated for dengue a
mosquito-borne virus in Hos-
pital del Maestro, a small facility
in the Hato Rey neighborhood of
San Juan. Many people have ar-
rived with herpes, asthma and
respiratory problems.
I lost count of how many
people have come with conjuncti-
vitis, said Lisa Matos, supervisor
of the hospitals emergency
room. Conjunctivitis, or pinkeye,
is often caused by lack of hygiene,
Matos said. Without running wa-
ter in their homes, people are
washing their hands less.
The lack of power, water and
fuel is affecting hospitals as it is
affecting much of society here.
The San Jorge Childrens Hos-
pital in Santurce was without
power for nearly eight hours
earlier this week after running
out of diesel for its generators;
half of the 90 patients there were
either transferred or released.
Domingo Cruz, a San Jorge
administrator, said his hospital
desperately needs a steady sup-
EZ SU
charitable groups and the Puerto
Rican government are rushing to
get goods shipped to the territory
and to have them distributed.
Crowley is filling its ships with
generators, food and water for
the Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency, and it expects to
deliver more than 1,000 contain-
ers on five barges in the coming
days. It dispatched more than
200 on Thursday.
President Trump, under politi-
cal pressure from critics who say
his administration has lagged in
providing aid to Puerto Rico,
flipped his position on Thursday
on the 1920 Jones Act and said he
would waive the requirement
that vessels traveling between
U.S. ports be U.S. ships. However
the waiver lasts only 10 days,
according to a Bloomberg News
report.
While many lawmakers from
both parties said the Jones Act
waiver would speed assistance
for Puerto Rico and reduce costs,
U.S. shipping executives in-
cluding Crowleys and mari-
time unions warned that the
bottleneck was on the island, not
on the seas. Huge swaths of the
population still lack fuel, water
supplies and communication
links.
John Rabin, acting adminis-
trator for FEMA Region II, said
the agency has established 11
staging areas and delivered food
and water to 78 municipalities.
He said that 676 gasoline stations
were open Thursday morning,
although residents said that sup-

the hospitals more than 20 operating rooms have been open on a daily basis, because the others lack water or fuel.
ply of fuel. Some staff members
are staying at the hospital so as
not to waste gas commuting.
Nothing can function without
power, Cruz said. Outside right
now, we have a tank that holds
4,000 gallons of diesel. The hos-
pitals two combined building
use 1,500 gallons every day.
Cruz said the situation is going
to get worse before it improves.
During November and De-
cember, its going to get bad,
Cruz said. There are going to be
cases of dehydration, there are
going to be cases of dengue fever.
There are going to be people with
diabetes who havent been taking
care of themselves because their
focus has been on rebuilding
their lives and taking care of their
families.
Centro Mdico gained electric-
ity for about two days, but lost it
again, forcing the hospital to rely
solely on generators. Just four of
the hospitals more than 20 oper-
ating rooms have been open on a
daily basis, because the others
lack water or fuel, said Segundo
Rodrguez Quilichini, chancellor
of the University of Puerto Ricos
Medical Sciences Campus.
Scores of patients have been
forced to delay surgeries, and
doctors are desperate to do their
jobs, said Juan Nazario Fernan-
dez, a senior medical officer.
The San Juan hospital is a base
of operations for Health and
Human Services, a command
center for critical and acute care.
Seven regional hospitals have
been deemed primary medical
care hubs for the islands more
than 3 million residents.
Hospital HIMA San Pablo Ca-
guas, about 22 miles south of San
Juan, is a hub for the eastern
region. A sign on the main en-
plies ran out by early afternoon
at many of the stations.
Today is going to be a very
difficult and hard day, Rabin
said. Hopefully today will be a
little bit better than yesterday
was. And hopefully tomorrow
will be a bit better.
One of the most troublesome
obstacles to relief efforts has
been the electrical grid, crippled
by fallen transmission and distri-
bution lines. Though utilities
belong to national groups that
help coordinate out-of-state
workers to help repair storm
damage, so far the mainland
utilities have sent crews only to
help assess damage. Sue Kelly,
president of the American Public
Power Association, said Wednes-
day there was no point in send-
ing repair crews who need food,
water and shelter if they did not
have the poles, wires and trucks
needed.
Meanwhile, lawmakers in
Congress and Puerto Rican Gov.
Ricardo Rossell have been jock-
eying over who should take
charge of the humanitarian re-
sponse effort.
Rossell asserted that he was
fully in command even as Sen.
Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and other
lawmakers on the mainland
stepped up demands for the
appointment of a federal official
to oversee relief efforts.
Lets make this clear, this is
an operation of the government
of Puerto Rico, Rossell said.
We set the priorities. . . . We are
taking action, and there are re-
trance doors Wednesday indicat-
ed that just one visitor per pa-
tient would be allowed in, for
security reasons. The hospital is
well over its maximum capacity
of 405 beds.
Every single square foot here
is being dedicated for clinical
purposes. The logistics are crazy
right now, said Armando
Rodrguez, the hospitals vice
president. In the emergency
room, hospital beds clogged hall-
ways. This is not the way to run
an ER.
Gloria Dominguez, 81, had
been in the emergency room
since 8 p.m. the previous night,
having called an ambulance be-
cause of chest pains. By 2 p.m. the
next day, she had not yet been
placed in a bed. Instead she had
been sitting in a chair, receiving
oxygen, all night and all day.
Feet away, lying in a bed sur-
rounded by other patients, Pablo
Rosario received antibiotics
through an IV. After a foot of
water had entered his home in
Juncos, Rosario developed an
ulcer on his left foot. On Sunday,
he tried going to a hospital in
Humacao, but the roof of the
operating room had blown off. So
he was transported to Caguas.
He needs surgery, but they
dont know when he can have it,
said his wife, Liduvina Martinez
Rodriguez. There are not enough
beds to admit him to a room.
The hospital also was still
treating 28 patients from the
islands of Tortora and St. Thom-
as, people who had been airlifted
out after being rescued in the
aftermath of Hurricane Irma ear-
lier in September.
They opened their eyes and
didnt know they were in Puerto
Rico, said Natalia Rodrguez, a
THE WASHINGTON POST
sults.
Yet the results are mixed, even
by the governors own assess-
ment.
Luis Muoz Marin Airport in
San Juan has been able to handle
a trickle of flights about half a
dozen a day for several days; it
was expecting nearly two dozen
planes to land on Thursday. To
relieve congestion, the Air Force
opened airports in Ceiba and
Aguadilla. Rossell described
plans to reestablish a radar in El
Yunque, the national rain forest,
to augment operations at all the
islands flight hubs.
Ports are slowly reopening.
FEMA said it would bring in
about 3.2 million meals and
2.68 million liters of water, some
by air and some by sea. Only
28 percent of the island now has
some cellphone reception. About
86 bank branches are open, but
many people still have no cash or
access to checking accounts.
FEMA said it would use barges
to ship 100 fuel distribution
trucks with 275,000 gallons of
diesel and 75,000 gallons of gaso-
line. The shipment is expected to
arrive Sunday.
I wish we were in a better
position, but we are limited by
the gravity of the situation, Ros-
sell said. In Florida and Texas,
where major hurricanes landed
in the past two months, resourc-
es were brought in by road, but
Puerto Rico is an island. We
have to bring them through boats
and airplanes.

hospital staff member. Many
have had no contact with family,
and the hospital has been unable
to communicate with its partner
hospital in Tortora since Irma.
The hospitals vice president is
most concerned about the pa-
tients receiving dialysis several
times as many as the hospital
usually takes in. About 140 pa-
tients were on dialysis in the
Caguas hospital on Wednesday,
while it usually receives about 15.
I dont have the space for
more people, he said. I am very
worried, not for the ones that are
here. Im worried about the ones
that are not.
But the HIMA hospital was
lucky to have plenty of diesel and
water reserves, Rodrguez said. It
also received a large shipment of
supplies that day from the Na-
tional Guard. Other hospitals
arent so lucky.
Just before noon Wednesday,
Ruben Norat Roig, administrator
of Centro Mdico Menonita in
Cayey, was running out of diesel
to run generators for his dialysis
patients.
I have enough until 3 p.m., he
said. I dont have anywhere to
put them.
While a diesel truck had ar-
rived to fuel up the generators for
the main hospital, the hoses did
not match up with the generators
for the dialysis center. But at least
the diesel distributed Wednesday
would give the hospital enough
fuel for three days.
That was like winning the
lottery, he said.
Rep. Richard E. Neal (Mass.),
the ranking Democrat on the
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee, said Thursday that dialysis

treatment are in dire condition

Act. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.),
a longtime advocate of repealing
the Jones Act restrictions, wrote
to the Department of Homeland
Security saying, I am very con-
cerned by the Departments deci-
sion not to waive the Jones Act
for current relief efforts in Puer-
to Rico, which is facing a worsen-
ing humanitarian crisis follow-
ing Hurricane Maria.
Economists agree. In 2015,
Anne Krueger, former chief econ-
omist of the World Bank, wrote
that the Jones Act requires us-
ing very costly US-built ships and
crews for all sea transport to and
from the mainland.
Thomas B. Crowley, chief exec-
utive of the Crowley shipping
firm, said this issue should ap-
peal to Trump, who says he wants
to protect American jobs.
If we cut some American jobs,
replace them with foreign labor
and save a few pennies on the
delivered goods, then perhaps
you could get the answer swayed
to yes, but no one has ever made
a factual case that this is true,
Crowley said in an interview.
After the president announced
the waiver, Crowley said in an
email: We understand the waiv-
er will be temporary. In the
meantime, we hope people will
take the time to learn what our

statement urged evacuation of
patients if supplies cant be made
available soon.
I am deeply concerned about
reports from Puerto Rico that
millions of people, including
thousands of dialysis patients,
are not receiving the urgent med-
ical care they depend on, Neal
said. In this day and age, no
American should ever die of a
manageable medical condition.
In places outside San Juan,
such as the hospital in Cayey, a
near-total lack of communication
has created a nightmare for doc-
tors. The hospitals electronic
records system is down, forcing
doctors to note information man-
ually and leading visit times to
double. With no phone reception,
doctors cant be on-call from
their homes, so theyve been
forced to sleep in the hospital,
using rooms that could house
patients.

Janet Colon Ramos lay in a hospi-

shingles. Colon Ramos who
lives in the town of Corozal, more
than 20 miles southwest of San
Juan waited four days to get
treatment for the virus. With no
Internet service or phone recep-
tion, she didnt know whether
hospitals were open, and she
didnt want to risk running out of
gas searching.
Colon Ramos had been told
the shingles might have been
activated by stress.

On Vieques, primitive takes on a new meaning
Residents of the remote Puerto Rican locale struggle to maintain a sense of normalcy amid fears that no one will be coming to save them
BY A MY G ORDON
vieques, puerto rico This
small island seven miles off the
east coast of Puerto Rico has been
without running water, power,
gasoline or communications for
more than a week, leaving its
9,000 residents teetering on the
edge of crisis and clamoring for
help.
The water sanitation plant has
not run in four days because of a
lack of fuel, threatening an is-
land-wide sewage backup. The
backup generator at the only
hospital in Vieques was stolen;
the remaining generator is al-
most out of fuel, and 18 dialysis
patients cannot survive without
consistent power to the hospital.
And Vieques cant easily re-
ceive supplies because of its loca-
tion. One shipment of gas has
arrived since the storm, and the
municipality had limited access
to it because residents who had
been waiting in line for three
days reportedly hijacked the
pumps, according to a quasi-re-
lief group and residents on the
island.
The island a community
best-known for its decades-long
fight against the U.S. Navy, which
operated a bombing range here
is faring like many other remote
Puerto Rico locales that have not
yet received external help: People
are struggling to maintain any
sense of normalcy, and they have
little confidence anyone is com-
ing to save them.
When asked at a news confer-
ence Thursday if reports of the
hijacked gas station were true,
and if local authorities had re-
quested martial law to regain
control of the island, Puerto Rico
Gov. Ricardo Rossell said he had
not heard about the situation but
was sending help.
Before Hurricane Maria
slammed the island, Vieques was
verdant, a paradise retreat with
pristine beaches, a large nature
preserve, home to many U.S.
mainland retirees.
The landscape now is almost
unrecognizable. Trees were up-
rooted, and those still standing
are bare and offer no shade.
Homes were destroyed. People
are getting desperate.
Lucky to get out
Five days after Maria hit
Vieques, I started my day in the
dark at 5 a.m. waiting in line for
gas. Because there was no com-
munication with the rest of the
world, there was no way to know
if it was actually coming.
Roughly 30 people were in
front of me on line; one had been
waiting for 11 hours the previous
day and left her car there over-

how quickly relief efforts can be
mobilized.
By contrast, eight days after
Hurricane Maria ripped across
neighboring Puerto Rico, just
4,400 service members were par-
ticipating in federal operations to
assist the devastated island, an
Army general told reporters
Thursday. In addition, about 1,000
Coast Guard members were aid-
ing the efforts. About 40 U.S. mili-
tary helicopters were helping to
deliver food and water to the
3.4 million residents of the U.S.
territory, along with 10 Coast
Guard helicopters.
Leaders of the humanitarian
mission in Haiti said in interviews
that they were dismayed by the
relative lack of urgency and mili-
tary muscle in the initial federal
response to Puerto Ricos catas-
trophe.
I think its a fair ask why were
not seeing a similar command and
response, said retired Lt. Gen. P.K.
Ken Keen, the three-star general
who commanded the U.S. military
effort in Haiti, where 200,000 peo-
ple died by some estimates. The
morning after, the president said
we were going to respond in Port-
au-Prince . . . robustly and im-
mediately, and that gave the whole
government clarity of purpose.
Rajiv J. Shah, who led the U.S.
Agency for International Develop-
ment during the Haiti response,
said he, too, was struggling to un-
derstand the delays.
We were able to move more
quickly in a foreign country, and
with no warning because it was an
earthquake, than a better-
equipped agency was able to do in
a domestic territory, he said.
The Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency has defended its
efforts in Puerto Rico, saying it is
coordinating a wide-ranging cam-
paign to simultaneously deliver
food, water and medicine and to
restore power, clear pathways to
hospitals and reopen mangled
ports and airports.

tables at the pumps to play domi-
noes while they waited. I left,

ble to get to Puerto Rico on a
Its a monumental task, one that
FEMA says has been complicated
immensely by a near-complete
collapse of cellphone service on
the island, as well as years of ne-
glect to power lines and other
utility systems.
FEMA and Defense Depart-
ment officials have taken steps to
beef up the response, announcing
Thursday that they would elevate
the military command structure
on the ground in Puerto Rico,
sending in a three-star Army gen-
eral, Lt. Gen. Jeffrey S. Buchanan.
Keen, who was named to lead
the efforts in Haiti three days after
the quake, pointed to a complicat-
ing factor: Puerto Rico is a U.S.
territory, not a foreign nation, and
that makes a huge difference in
the rules of engagement when dis-
aster strikes.
In Haiti, the United States was
able to deploy active military com-
bat brigades, quickly install a mili-
tary commander and militarize read from an email in which a
the airspace at the invitation of
Haitian officials.
In Puerto Rico and other U.S.
territories, the nearly 140-year-old
Posse Comitatus Act limits the
role that active military personnel
can play.
Also, Puerto Ricos aid requests,
made under a mutual-assistance
compact among the states and
U.S. territories, helped shape the
response. In recent days, as criti-
cism of the effort has grown, ad-
ministration officials have repeat-
edly said they are delivering what
Puerto Rico has asked for.
Maj. Gen. James C. Witham,
director of domestic operations
for the National Guard Bureau,
said that immediately after Ma-
rias landfall, Puerto Rico request-
ed only communications equip-
ment and fewer than 200 military
police officers. By comparison,
17,567 guardsmen from 24 states
were on duty in Florida a day after
Hurricane Irma made landfall.
More than 400 guardsmen
from other states had been in
Puerto Rico, assigned to help with
cleanup from Irma, before Maria.

Most evacuated in advance of Ma-
ria, and Puerto Rico has made no
request for them to return, offi-
cials said.
All but about a few hundred of
the 2,000 guardsmen now in Puer-
to Rico are members of the terri-
torys own Guard unit. The Na-
tional Guard Bureau has drafted
plans to send as many as 6,000
soldiers, but Puerto Rico has yet to
request them, Witham said.
Essentially, everything Puerto
Rico has asked for up to and in-
cluding today weve tried to align
with and lean as far forward as we
can, Witham said.
What is clear is that, since Ma-
ria ravaged the island, there has
been a disconnect between the
level of aid requested or delivered
and the needs of residents who are
desperate for water, food and ba-
sic necessities of life.
At a hearing Wednesday, Sen.
Margaret Wood Hassan (D-N.H.)
former Puerto Rico governor, Ale-
jandro Garca Padilla, warned that
unless we see a dramatic increase
in assistance and personnel reach-
ing the island soon, many thou-
sands could die.
We need the Army and the
National Guard deployed
throughout the island, now, to-
day, Hassan said, reading from
the letter. This cannot wait an-
other day. Despite federal agen-
cies coordinating in San Juan,
there is very limited presence of
military personnel assisting peo-
ple in the streets and throughout
our communities.
Elaine Duke, the acting head of
the Department of Homeland Se-
curity, responded: The president,
vice president and I talked with
the governor yesterday. And that
was about 1 oclock. And we he
had no unmet needs at that point.
John Rabin, a senior FEMA offi-
cial in Puerto Rico, denied during
a media teleconference Thursday
that the federal government is
waiting for requests from officials
on the island.
We are in lockstep with those
an hour on the ground, and
tearful calls to my parents, my
brother, my editor I learned at
the last minute that a seat had
opened up on a private aid flight
to the mainland United States
with ViequesLove, a group that
had brought satellite phones and
medical supplies to Vieques. It
was the first intimation I had that
someone, anyone, was trying to
help us. I was relieved that no one
had forgotten about us. But I was
also desperate to leave.
After stuffing some damp,
dirty clothes in a bag, I grabbed
my dog and returned to the air-
port. Within minutes we were
airborne. We touched down in
Florida about 10 oclock Monday
night.
In the days since, I have been
constantly responding to posts
from people in the United States
and across the globe asking if
their loved ones on Vieques are
okay. With no direct communica-
tion between Vieques and the
rest of the world, I am one of very
few people that can offer any
information about the people still
guys, but we also recognize that
this is a disaster and we have our
priorities, Rabin said. We are not
in a waiting mode for anything.
Also Thursday, Puerto Rico Gov.
Ricardo Rossell defended his
governments response to the hu-
manitarian crisis. He said the un-
precedented destruction of the
storm and logistical limitations
have impeded the flow of resourc-
es to some of the islands commu-
nities.
Rossell walked into a daily
briefing at the Puerto Rico con-
vention center accompanied by a
general or an admiral represent-
ing each branch of the U.S. mili-
tary, displaying a united front a
week after the hurricane walloped
the island.
The governor emphasized that
federal agencies are taking their
direction from the territorial gov-
ernment.
Lets make this clear this is
an operation of the government of
Puerto Rico, Rossell said. We
set the priorities. . . . We are taking
action, and there are results.
Rossell said the islands geo-
graphical challenges everything
must be brought in by boat or air
and the widespread communica-
tion failures have complicated re-
lief efforts.
W. Craig Fugate, who was Presi-
dent Barack Obamas FEMA direc-
tor for all eight years of his presi-
dency, said that in a worst-case
scenario, such as a tsunami, the
federal government had long con-
templated that Puerto Rico could
be completely isolated, with its
ports destroyed and all food and
water needing to be airlifted onto
the island or shuttled by Marine
units that could land on beaches.
Fugate said FEMA did not have
to wait for a signal from Puerto
Rican authorities before activat-
ing more military assets.
Two U.S. defense officials,
speaking on the condition of ano-
nymity to discuss the sensitive op-
eration, said the inability to com-
municate readily with Puerto Ri-
can officials immediately after the

other limiting factor, they said,
was that FEMA officials did not
have a full understanding of the
devastation and the challenges
until Director William Brock
Long visited the island Monday.
The next day, Long announced
outside the White House that the
military would deploy to Puerto
Rico the 1,000-bed hospital ship
USNS Comfort.
At least two other Navy ships,
the USS Iwo Jima and the USS
New York, responded to Hurri-
cane Irma earlier in the month off
the Florida Keys and could have
been used to respond to Maria.
Defense officials said they were
instead sent back to Mayport, Fla.,
and remain in port there on
prepare-to-deploy orders. They
may yet be called upon to join the
response.

Past militants helping shape Libyas future
Abdulhakim Belhadj and other former ghters were once linked to al-Qaeda. Now they are politicians and businessmen.
BY S UDARSAN R AGHAVAN
istanbul Abdulhakim Bel-
hadj has shed his combat fatigues
for gray sport jackets and crisp
white shirts. He has given up his
AK-47 rifle for an election ballot.
Once a jihadist and revolutionary
commander, he is now a globe-
trotting Islamist politician and
businessman.
My thinking of that time is not
a reflection of the way I think
now, the compact 51-year-old
said, referring to his fighting days
in Libya.
But in a war-divided nation,
penetrated by the Islamic State
and struggling to forge a new
identity, Libyans have not forgot-
ten who Belhadj once was.
They remember that he fought
alongside Osama bin Laden in
Afghanistan. They remember
that he led the Libyan Islamic
Fighting Group (LIFG), an ob-
scure, al-Qaeda-linked militia
that the United States branded a
terrorist organization. Belhadj
was considered so dangerous that
he was arrested and interrogated
at a secret CIA rendition site in
Asia after the Sept. 11, 2001, at-
tacks. Later, he was tortured in a
Libyan prison.
Today, as key players in the
contest between Islamists and
their rivals for the soul of the new
Libya, Belhadj and his comrades
represent a rare instance of for-
mer militants associated with al-
Qaeda achieving not just legiti-
macy but the ability to shape the
course of a nation.
These guys are very involved
in the political landscape of run-
ning things in Tripoli, said Clau-
dia Gazzini, senior Libya analyst
for the International Crisis
Group. The worry for some, she
said, is: Have they really shed
their jihadist upbringing?
The trajectory they followed is
a winding and uniquely Arab
one. The group dates to the battle-
fields of the Cold War and blos-
somed under the oppression of
Libyas autocratic leader, Moam-
mar Gaddafi. During the Arab
Spring, Belhadj and his comrades
played crucial roles in the revolt
that led to the strongmans ouster
and killing, six years ago next
month.
Now, as he navigates Libyas
regional and tribal schisms, Bel-
hadj enjoys power, influence and
wealth. But he remains a widely
feared and controversial figure,
viewed as a warlord and a terror-
ist mastermind, even as his sup-
porters paint him as a misunder-
stood idealist.
Belhadj represents a threat
now and will do so in the future,
said Abdullah Belhaq, a spokes-
man for Libyas eastern-based
parliament. He is followed by a
number of armed militias, and
they will always be against the
establishment of a state, to safe-
guard their interests.
Rendition and torture
I first met Belhadj, a civil engi-
neer by training, in May 2010 in
the Libyan capital, Tripoli. He
and several LIFG leaders had
recently been released from pris-
on under an extremist-rehabilita-
tion program conceived by Gad-
dafis son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi. In
exchange, they vowed to re-
nounce violence and work to dis-
credit al-Qaeda.
Many Libyans and Western
diplomats were skeptical. Belhadj
and his comrades were among
scores of Libyans who had trav-
eled to Afghanistan to fight the
occupying Soviet forces. They
met bin Laden in a training camp,
an LIFG co-founder, Sami al-
Saadi, told me at the time. He was
impressed, he said, by bin Ladens
devoutness.
Belhadj returned to Libya in
the early 1990s. There, he
launched the LIFG to overthrow
Moammar Gaddafi and trans-
form Libya into an Islamic state.
A low-level insurgency followed,
as well as three failed attempts to
assassinate the dictator. By then,
Belhadj was known by his nom de
guerre, Abu Abdullah al-Sadiq.
Gaddafis regime crushed the
LIFG, and by the late 1990s Belh-
adj and his comrades had fled to
Afghanistan and Pakistan, where
they forged alliances with leaders
of al-Qaeda and the Taliban, ac-
cording to Libyan authorities and
analysts. Belhadj, while acknowl-
edging the links, denied he was
close to either group.
In the months before the 9/11
attacks, bin Laden urged the
LIFG to join his efforts to target
the United States and its allies.
Belhadj balked. His groups sole
mission, he said recently, was to
topple Gaddafi, not attack the
West and I told it to the
al-Qaeda leaders. But the LIFG
split over that choice, and some
senior members joined bin Lad-
en.
In late 2001, with the Taliban
decimated and bin Laden on the
run, many LIFG commanders
fled the region. Three years later,
Belhadj and his pregnant wife
were arrested in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia, and taken to a CIA site
in Thailand. Saadi and others
were arrested elsewhere in Asia.
They were handed over to the

Libyan government. Gaddafi,
once a sponsor of terrorism, had
become a counterterrorism ally of
the West.
For six years, the LIFG leaders
were held in the notorious Abu
Salim prison in Tripoli. I was
beaten, hung from walls by my
arms and deprived of food and
sunlight, Belhadj recalled.
Human Rights Watch investi-
gators, citing documents un-
earthed in Libya, corroborated
Belhadjs accounts of the CIA ren-
dition and torture in Abu Salim.
Encouraged by moderate Is-
lamist preachers and the younger
Gaddafi, Belhadj and his com-
rades crafted a 400-page manifes-
to denouncing al-Qaedas beliefs
and attacks on Western civilians.
Still, waging jihad against U.S.
forces in Iraq and Afghanistan
was a sacred act, they main-
tained. When America invades a
country, the insurgency is legal,
Belhadj told me in 2010.
A year later, a violent uprising,
echoing similar ones sweeping
the Arab world, began. Belhadj
and his comrades, with their anti-
Gaddafi credentials, were cata-
pulted into leadership roles.
Influence and riches
Belhadj became the command-
er of the Tripoli Brigade, a rebel
militia, and on Aug. 22, 2011, he
and his men entered the Bab
al-Aziziya compound, Gaddafis
fortress and nerve center.
For the past several months,
they had helped lead the battle
against Gaddafis forces, aided by
NATO airstrikes. On this day, they
were close to seizing control of
Tripoli, and Gaddafi had fled east.
Belhadj spotted the dictators
chair and sat in it. To be sitting in
Bab al-Aziziya was something we
always dreamed of, he recalled.
Belhadj was named the leader
of the Tripoli Military Council,
the committee in charge of keep-

ing order in the capital after
Gaddafi was killed by rebels less
than two months later. He would
also join the rebels Supreme Se-
curity Council. Other LIFG mem-
bers joined Islamist movements
and ran religious youth camps,
advocating strict Islamic sharia
laws.
Saadi founded a political party.
Khalid al-Sharif, the deputy emir
of the LIFG, was appointed depu-
ty defense minister in two post-
Gaddafi governments. He also
became an influential figure
aligned with the U.N.-backed
Government of National Accord,
one of three governments vying
for control of Libya.
In 2014, Belhadj and other
LIFG members backed Libya
Dawn, a collection of Islamist
militias that briefly seized control
of Tripoli and proclaimed their
own government. Their actions
split public opinion.
There is deep-seated hostility
towards the very idea of political
Islam, said Mattia Toaldo, a Lib-
ya analyst at the European Coun-
cil on Foreign Relations. Its a
legacy of the Gaddafi regime. He
built this distrust of Islamists by
saying they were foreign agents in
Libya responding to foreign pow-
ers and foreign agendas.
That is precisely how Belhadjs
enemies have portrayed him.
Anti-Islamist factions in eastern
Libya, including Gen. Khalifa
Hifter, whose forces control much
of the east, have declared Belhadj
a leader of al-Qaeda. Others say
he is with the Islamic State. He
has denied the allegations.
Today, Belhadj has parlayed his
revolutionary connections into
vast wealth and influence. Even
though he holds no official posi-
tion in government, his well-
armed loyalists wield power in
the capital. But because he has
moved out of the public spotlight
and kept his political and busi-
ness dealings secret, he remains
an enigma to many Libyans.
While some Libyans now view
Belhadj as a businessman, others
beg to differ. They believe hes
just pretending to be all about
business but hes still calling all
the shots, said Gazzini, of the
International Crisis Group.
Belhaq described Belhadj as
exercising immense power large-
ly through ill-gotten money, not-
ing that within two years of his
release from prison he owned an
airline company. Where did he
get these billions from? the east-
ern parliamentary spokesman
said.
Belhadj, who now divides his
time between Turkey and Tripoli,
denies he owns an airline or any
large business interests. Maybe
they are confusing me with an-
other man with a similar name,
he said, smiling.
Electoral ambitions
Belhadj resigned from the
Tripoli Military Council to launch
his own political party, al-Watan,
or Homeland. He believes in
democracy, he said, and ran un-
successfully in national parlia-
mentary elections in 2012. He
insists he no longer controls a
militia. He supports the
U.N.-backed government, he said,
because we dont want to be out
of the international community.
In recent months, he has traveled
to Switzerland and South Africa
to encourage a peace process for
Libya.
His followers hope he will run
for prime minister if Libya be-
comes stable enough to hold elec-
tions again.
Hes a hard worker, and he is
very transparent, said Jamal
Ashour, a top official in al- Watan.
When you speak with him, his
priority is the country.
His past, though, keeps chas-
ing him.
Salman Abedi, the bomber who
killed 22 people at a May concert
in Manchester, England, is said to
have been radicalized by former
LIFG members, including his fa-
ther. Belhadj said that Abedis
father was never an LIFG mem-
ber and called the Manchester
attack a crime.
In June, Saudi Arabia and
three other Arab nations placed
Belhadj on a list of alleged terror-
ists backed by Qatar. That came
soon after the bloc imposed an
economic and transport blockade
on the tiny, gas-rich nation, ac-
cusing it of financing extremism,
which it has denied.
His inclusion on the list, Bel-
hadj said, was politically motivat-
ed. Qatar helped finance and arm
him and other rebels against Gad-
dafi. Now, Egypt and the United
Arab Emirates, part of the Saudi-
led bloc, are supporting the anti-
Islamist factions in Libya, includ-
ing Hifter.
The LIFG ended when we left
prison, Belhadj added. I am no
longer a member of the LIFG
mind-set.
Belhaq remains unconvinced.
The terrorist actions of the
Libyan Islamic Fighting Group
are still continuing, even if under
a different name, he said. Bel-
hadj is still playing a role in this,
even if he does it from behind a
curtain.

Women will be able to
start driving at age 18
Saudi women will be allowed
to drive from the age of 18, a
government spokesman said
Thursday, partially allaying
speculation they could still face
tighter controls than men when
finally allowed behind the wheel.
In a royal decree issued
Tuesday, King Salman ordered an
end to the ban on female drivers,
a conservative tradition that has
limited womens mobility and
been criticized by rights activists
as an emblem of their
suppression. Saudi Arabia is the
only country in the world that
bans women from driving.
The decree stipulated that the
change must apply and adhere to
the necessary sharia standards,
or Islamic law, but did not
elaborate, sparking speculation
that restrictions might include a
higher minimum age or limited
hours.
The king ordered a ministerial
committee to report within 30
days on how to implement the
new policy by June 24.
Asked on al-Arabiya TV about
the minimum driving age for
Saudi women, Interior Ministry
spokesman Mansour al-Turki
said, Eighteen years is the age at
which a person can obtain a
drivers license and drive a car in
the kingdom.

U.N.: Latest Rohingya

The United Nations says the
number of Rohingya Muslims
who have fled from Burma to
Bangladesh since August has
topped 500,000.
U.N. deputy spokesman
Farhan Haq said Thursday that,
combined with refugees who fled
earlier, the total number of
Rohingya in Bangladesh is
believed to be well over 700,000
people. It is the largest mass
refugee movement in the region
in decades, Haq said.
As of Thursday, Haq said,
humanitarian partners have
received $36.4 million less
than half the $77 million the U.N.
called for in early September.
Also Thursday, police said at
least 15 Rohingya refugees,
including 10 children, died while
fleeing to Bangladesh when their
reporter arrested in Barcelona
last month on a Turkish warrant
for alleged terrorism.
A court statement said Hamza
Yalcin, arrested Aug. 3, must

The court said Yalcin had been
given accommodation in
Barcelona by a branch of the PEN

Borders have demanded Yalcins

U.S. to send strategic military assets to South Korea

Trump agreed to
enhanced deployment on
rotational basis
BY A NNA F IFIELD
AND D AN L AMOTHE
The United States will send
strategic military assets to
South Korea on a more regular
basis to better deter North Korea,
the Souths national security ad-
viser said Thursday.
The decision comes at a time of
escalating tensions between the
United States and North Korea,
with many analysts concerned
that incendiary rhetoric, com-
bined with more frequent fly-
overs by U.S. bombers, could lead
to a catastrophic miscalculation.
Chung Eui-yong, national se-
curity adviser to President Moon
Jae-in, told lawmakers in Seoul
that U.S. strategic assets could
be deployed to South Korea on a
rotational basis before the end
of the year.
This will help us expand our
defense capabilities, Chung told
the lawmakers, according to Park
Wan-joo, spokesman for the rul-
ing Democratic Party.
Strategic assets went unde-
fined, but South Korean officials
usually use the term to refer to
B-52 bombers, stealth warplanes,
nuclear-powered submarines
and aircraft carriers.
The Pentagon confirmed that
Moon and President Trump
agreed to enhanced deployment
of U.S. strategic assets in and
around South Korea on a rota-
tional basis when they met last
week on the sidelines of the U.N.
General Assembly.
We continue to work with our
ROK allies on the best way for-
ward to meet this intent, but it
would be inappropriate to dis-
cuss any additional details at this
time, said Pentagon spokesman
Christopher B. Logan, in refer-
ence to the Republic of Korea, the
South.
South Korean lawmakers were
told that Washington had put its
pledge on the deployment in writ-
ing, Park confirmed.
North Koreas foreign minister
recently warned that his coun-
trys military was ready to shoot
down U.S. military planes even if
they were not in North Korean
airspace.
To celebrate its Armed Forces
Day, which falls on Sunday, South
Koreas military showed off some
of its new weapons during a pa-
rade Thursday. For the first time,
the military displayed its Hyun-
moo ballistic missiles, which can
reach all of North Korea and are a
key element of its Kill Chain
preemptive-strike system.
Our governments determina-
tion to protect peace requires
strong defense capabilities, and
we will stand up against reckless
provocations with strong punish-
ment, Moon said after inspecting
the weapons.
Securing counter capabilities
against North Korean nuclear
and missile threats is the most
urgent task. We must further
strengthen our Kill Chain and
Korean missile defense system,
the president said.
South Korean Defense Minis-
ter Song Young-moo last month
asked his American counterpart,
Jim Mattis, to send such military
hardware to the southern half of
the peninsula on a regular basis.
A poll that YTN, a South Ko-
rean cable news channel, com-
missioned in August found that
68 percent of respondents said
they supported bringing tactical
nuclear weapons back to South
Korea.
This issue has become increas-
ingly important to South Korea as
tensions with North Korea have
risen. With top Trump adminis-
tration officials repeatedly saying
that military options for dealing
with Kim Jong Uns regime are on
the table, some in South Korea
have grown more concerned
about becoming collateral dam-
age.
The Pentagon typically is resis-
tant to talking about the deploy-
ment of nuclear weapons any-
where, citing security concerns. It
also does not often talk about the
deployment of submarines,
whose benefits as part of the
Silent Service include lurking have not been able to do so since
undetected beneath the oceans
surface.
Mattis did disclose recently
that he spoke with Song about
potentially deploying tactical nu-
clear weapons after the defense
minister brought up the idea dur-
ing a visit to Washington, but the
Pentagon chief has declined to
elaborate.
I wont talk about where we
keep nuclear weapons, where we
station them or anything like
that, he told reporters Sept. 13.
Its simply a long-standing policy
so . . . our adversaries never know
where theyre at. Its part of the
deterrent that they cannot target
them all. Theres always a great
big question mark.
The Pentagon has kept bomb-
ers in the Pacific for years at
Guams Andersen Air Force Base,
perhaps one of the main reasons
that the North Korean regime has
threatened to strike the U.S. is-
land territory. The United States
has flown numerous flights over
the Korean Peninsula recently,
and North Korea has threatened
to shoot them down, even if they
are in international airspace,
where they are legally allowed.
U.S. bombers include the B-1B
Lancer, the B-2 Spirit and the
B-52 Stratofortress. In Guam, the
Air Force primarily has main-
tained B-1Bs, which once were
able to carry nuclear bombs but
2007, when the service began
removing hardware for them to
carry nuclear weapons as part of
the New START Treaty with Rus-
sia.
North Korea has enough con-
ventional artillery trained on the
greater Seoul area, home to
25 million people as well as sev-
eral large U.S. military bases, to
cause widespread devastation be-
fore the U.S. and South Korean
militaries could respond.
If North Korea were to start
unleashing its artillery on the
South, it would be able to fire
about 4,000 rounds an hour, Rog-
er Cavazos of the Nautilus Insti-
tute estimated in a 2012 study.
There would be 2,811 fatalities in
the initial volley, and 64,000 peo-
ple could be killed that first day,
the majority of them in the first
three hours, he wrote.
As North Korea has continued
to show off its growing arsenal
detonating a hydrogen bomb and
firing increasingly long-range
missiles the U.S. and South
Korean militaries have been con-
ducting drills as a show of
strength.
Air Force B-1B bombers from
Guam and Marine Corps F-35B
fighters from Iwakuni, Japan,
have been dropping bombs on a
training range in South Korea,
just a few dozen miles from the
border with the North.
South Korean F-15K fighters
have been doing the same, and
South Korea has tested missiles
designed to show that North Ko-
reas nuclear and missile test sites
are within range.
South Korean officials, howev-
er, have been pushing for more
than flyovers from warplanes
based in Japan or Guam: They
want them to land in South Korea
to show greater commitment to
the military alliance.
But there are logistical reasons
that cannot happen, Jon
Wolfsthal, a nuclear expert who
served on President Barack
Obamas National Security Coun-
cil, has said. Military airstrips in
South Korea are not long enough
for big, heavy B-52s, and the
United States does not want its
high-tech fighter jets sitting with-
in range of North Korean artil-
lery, he said.
The United States regularly
sends aircraft carriers, as well as
Los Angeles-class submarines, to
South Korea during annual joint
military exercises. But the South
Koreans are seeking a more con-
sistent and higher-power show of
U.S. military commitment.

DAY! She had put on makeup
and fixed her hair, filled a thermos
with cold-brew coffee and
prepped her navy blue suit.
Wright had prayed, too, but for
what God wanted instead of what
she wanted, because the latter
still felt beyond possibility.
It had been three months since
she had applied to serve as a clerk
for Supreme Court Justice Sonia
Sotomayor and two weeks since
Wright had gotten the call: The
justice would like to have you
come in and interview.
Seriously? Wright said, suc-
cumbing to tears she almost never
shed.
More than 30,000 law school
students graduate annually, and
the Supreme Courts nine mem-
bers offer just 36 clerkships each
year. Getting chosen would be, as
Wrights husband described it,
like getting drafted into the NBA.
Those selected enter one of the
most elite fraternities in the legal
world, routinely receiving signing
bonuses in excess of $300,000
from their first post-clerkship law
firms.
Wright had so many reasons to
doubt she belonged. She was an
African American woman who
had grown up in Southeast Wash-
ington and never traveled outside
the country, trying to join a group
that, historically, had been domi-
nated by affluent, worldly white
men. She was 33 and had an
8-year-old son. She had attended
Georgetown Law at night, while
working full time as a paralegal,
because Wright and her husband
couldnt afford for her not to.
Shed taken out loans to pay for it,
too, leaving the family with a
quarter of a million dollars in
debt.
In a sense, though, Wright also
believed shed spent her entire life
preparing for that day. So much
terror and upheaval, misery and
loss maybe it all had led to this.
She had barely slept in those
two weeks after the call, reading
70 court opinions, reviewing at
least 20 of Sotomayors written
decisions and scouring YouTube
for interviews that the courts first
Latina had given. Wright outlined
cases that were especially mean-
ingful to her about the Sixth
Amendment, equal protection,
voting rights and filled 41 pages
of notes.
It doesnt matter where you
come from, what you look like or
what challenges life throws your
way, she watched President Ba-
rack Obama say in a video from
the day he announced Sotomay-
ors nomination.
Now, three hours before the
interview, Wright was on Trini-
dad, in front of the rowhouse,
thinking of her father. She was
less than two miles from the steps
that lead to the marble columns
and bronze doors of the highest
court in the nation.
I hope I made you proud, she
silently told him.
You dont have to do this
Hes gone to heaven, Wrights sleeping, she read.
mother had said to her in 1989,
and when the little girl on the bed
understood that meant her dad
was dead, she curled into a ball
and sobbed.
Wright had come to the na-
tions capital as a toddler, after her
parents divorce, and lived with
family in an aging home across
the street from a housing project
in Southeast. Amid the exploding
crack epidemic, two of her uncles
stayed there, too, before one, who
sold drugs, went to prison for
sexual assault and the other
served time for armed robbery.
Even her mother had abused
drugs at one point.
After her dads death, Wright
lived for a few months with an
aunt who was hooked on crack.
The girl saw used needles and
blackened spoons in the house
and, outside it, men trying to
exchange money for sex. Neigh-
borhood kids teased her because,
they said, her aunt was a prosti-
tute. Once, the woman brought
Wright with her to a drug house
when she needed a fix. Another
time, Wright awoke on a sofa bed
to find that someone had stolen
her clothing.
Everything had been sold ex-
cept my underwear, said Wright,
who realized that even her most
important possession in the
world, a videotape of The Little
Mermaid, was taken.
Another aunt, a heroin addict
who would die of AIDS years later,
insisted one day that Wright look
at the sores and track marks on
her arms. You dont have to do
this, she told the girl.
Gone was the unshakable feel-
ing of security that her father,
Thomas W. Moore, a stout Army
veteran who worked as a correc-
tions officer, had always given her,
even when theyd been apart.
In her most vivid memory of
him, she was wearing a baby-blue
shirt that matched the bows in her
braided hair, and before her stood
a white pony she was too scared to
ride. Moore snatched up his
daughter and plopped her atop
the saddle. Suddenly unafraid,
she grinned for a photo until her
cheeks could stretch no farther.
When she saw her dad in an
open casket at the funeral, Wright
hoped he was just asleep until she
touched him and felt the chill
across his skin. Shed never faced
dread like she did on that winter
day: If I stay here, Im going to die.
She learned that the pension
and life insurance money hed left
her was being overseen by a per-
son called an attorney. Wright
expected Leonard McCants to be
white, but when the second-grad-
er met him in a fancy Silver
Spring, Md., law office, he was
black, like her, and in a crisp suit
and tie.
What do I have to do to be like
you? she asked.
Read a lot, McCants told her,
and become a good writer.
The little girl found a library
and asked for all of the hard
books, and she came back with
Pride and Prejudice, The Great
Gatsby, For Whom the Bell Tolls
and dozens of others that would
consume her childhood. Because
her father had been shot at night
in a crime detectives never
solved she often didnt feel safe
until the sun came up. Instead of

heard about Washingtons School

tions in the region. When her

Tiffany Wrights childhood visit to an attorney to learn about her slain fathers pension and life
insurance eventually led her to law school at Georgetown and a Supreme Court clerkship.
glected to write an essay required
for the application, Wright did it
herself and put their names on it.
She got in.
That led her in 1999 to the
University of Maryland, where
she met a fellow freshman named
Michael who had wide shoulders
and an affinity for smart women.
During one of their first conversa-
tions, he recalled years later,
Wright told him she wanted to
become an attorney, run her own
law firm and make $90,000 a year.
She was magical
By graduation, none of that
looked attainable. She had strug-

in large part because she arrived

Tatel urged her to apply. Then
came the call from Sotomayors
office.
Her palms were slick with
sweat when she arrived at court.
She could feel her pulse beating in
her fingertips.
The justice is here, someone
told Wright.
She stood and walked down a
hallway, where a door in front of
her opened. There was Sotomay-
or, smiling, her hand extended.
Oh, Tiffany, the justice said,
its so great to meet you.
Eighteen months later, on Oc-
tober 4, 2016, in a room with red
velvet drapes and a 44-foot-high
coffered ceiling, Wright took a
seat in a wooden chair as a Su-
preme Court clerk.
Bound by confidentiality, she
could never speak of the work
shed do for Sotomayor during a
year in which the justices would
take up cases involving trade-
marks and free speech, racial ger-
rymandering and President
Trumps travel ban.
But on her first day in the
nations most important court-
room, this is what Wright could
say: She was the only clerk who
was a mother, the only one who
was African American, the only
one who had grown up in South-
east Washington.
And on that day, Wright knew
how her father would feel.

ISIS releases a rare audio Tsunami brought 280-plus

it claims to be of Baghdadi
Unveried recording
may be effort to disprove
reports of leaders death
BY L OUISA L OVELUCK
beirut The Islamic State on
Thursday released what ap-
peared to be a rare recording of
its cloistered leader, Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi, vowing to continue
the groups fight across Syria and
Iraq as its self-proclaimed ca-
liphate there crumbles.
Peppered with references to
current geopolitical flash points,
including North Korea and Iraqi
Kurdistan, the unverified 46-
minute speech seemed partly
intended to silence reports that
Baghdadi has been killed on the
battlefield.
It has been almost a year since
his last message to followers,
recorded as Islamic State mili-
tants girded themselves for a
U.S.-backed assault on Mosul,
their largest stronghold. The city
is now fully controlled by the
Iraqi government, and Mosuls
mosque from which Baghdadi
made his only public appearance
as the militant groups leader
lies in ruins, a shattered remind-
er of the dominance the Islamic
State once held over a swath of
land that spanned almost a third
of Syria and Iraq.
Three years on, the Islamic
State, known as ISIS, is defend-
ing a shrinking stretch of terri-
tory.
In Iraq, the group is down to
two strongholds after losing a
grueling nine-month battle for
control of Mosul. In Syria, the
Islamic State has all but lost its
grip on its onetime de facto
capital of Raqqa and is facing
parallel U.S.- and Syrian-backed
offensives in the oil-rich eastern
province of Deir al-Zour.
In Thursdays recording, the
voice purporting to be Baghda-
dis cast those defeats in a more
charitable light.
This predicament is a gener-
ous gift from God, he said.
A man purported to be Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
making his first public appearance speaks at a mosque in Mosul in
an image from a video posted online on July 5, 2014.
He also consoled foot soldiers
and supporters over their recent
defeats, saying the top priority
for Muslims is to satisfy God.
Victory against their enemies
and the enemy of God comes
next, the speaker said, lauding
what he depicted as a valiant
defense of Mosul.
The date and whereabouts of
the messages recording are un- about the continued appeal of its
clear. Baghdadi is notoriously
secretive and rarely sighted.
News reports have suggested
that he suffered a serious injury
in the spring of 2015.
On Thursday, some online
commentators said that the lat-
est recording appeared to as-
sume that the city of Raqqa had
been entirely recaptured by a
Syrian force, suggesting the au-
dio had been recorded without a
clear release date.
Russian officials said in June
that there was a high probabili-
ty that the Islamic State leader
had died in an airstrike on
Raqqa. But U.S. officials have
said as recently as August that
Baghdadi was alive.
According to Western diplo-
mats, the Islamic States most

lieved to be hiding around the

Plastic junk spewed forth
by 2011 disaster in Japan
traveled far, with guests
BY B EN G UARINO
In 2011, a massive earthquake
shook Japan and reshaped the
seafloor. The quake shoved an area
the size of Connecticut up by
30 feet. The tsunami that followed
killed roughly 18,000 people. As
water swamped the Fukushima
Daiichi nuclear power plant, three
reactors melted down. Japans
wounds are still healing.
The tsunami swept 5 million
tons of debris into the ocean. Much
of the junk did not degrade. Fiber-
glass boats, far-flung buoys and
plastic shards swirled through the
Pacific. Some of the objects came
to rest half a world away, like a
60-foot-long polystyrene and con-
crete dock that landed in Oregon
in the summer of 2012.
The dock completed its 4,000-
mile journey by beaching itself
close to Oregon State Universitys
Hatfield Marine Science Center. A
university biologist who special-
ized in marine invasive species
was one of the first people to ap-
proach it. Researchers later dis-
covered that the dock harbored
close to 100 Japanese species.
That was the neon light, said
marine biologist James Carlton, a
Williams College professor based
in Mystic, Conn. That was the
harbinger of things to come.
Carlton and a team of fellow
scientists realized the Pacific
Northwest faced an influx of un-
sinkable junk caked with marine
life. The scientists created a net-
work of volunteers in Hawaii and
Alaska, down the Pacific North-
west to the middle of California.
State and local officials, park rang-
ers and legions of citizen scientists
reported or bagged up what be-
came known, in the biologists lin-
go, as JTMDs: Japanese tsunami
marine debris. (None of the debris,
Carlton said, showed any traces of
radiation.)
If a boat landed on the beach in
San Francisco, Carlton said, Id
get a call in my lab within a couple
of hours.
The JTMDs ferried a lot of ani-
mals, as the scientists described in
a paper published Thursday in the
journal Science. During six years
of study, from June 2012 until this
past February, Carlton and his col-
leagues counted more than 280
species of Japanese hitchhikers on
600 pieces of debris.
Most were spineless marine
critters: sea stars, sea slugs, oys-
ters, barnacles, mussels, amphi-
pods, bryozoa and isopods. Only a
few alien arrivals, two species of
Japanese fish, had backbones.
What weve done is
change the world of
what can be cast into
the ocean.
Ceridwen Fraser, a marine biologist
who was not involved with the
research
This was unlike anything Carl-
ton had witnessed in his 50 years
of studying marine invasions, he
said. As time went on, the eye-
brows keep going higher and high-
er. The jaw keeps dropping lower
and lower.
Although the scale of the event
was unprecedented, the concept
that rafts carry animals across
oceans was not.
This is a really nice example of
the very important role that long-
distance dispersal in general, and
rafting in particular, plays in struc-
turing global patterns of biodiver-
sity, said Ceridwen Fraser, a ma-
rine biologist at Australian Na-
tional University who was not in-
volved with this research.
Transoceanic crossings have
happened for millions of years. A
recent genetic study of trapdoor
spiders found that they must have
crossed on a raft from Africa to
Australia a few million years ago;
the spider relatives on each conti-
nent were too closely related to
have last shared an ancestor when
Africa and Australia were still geo-
logically connected, some 100 mil-
lion years back.
In one well-documented case,
15 iguanas floated atop a cluster of
uprooted trees to the Caribbean
island of Anguilla in 1995. The
lizards have since established a
breeding population on the island.
Of the Japanese species that ar-
rived on the tsunami debris, only
about a third were already present
on the American Pacific coast. The
debris at sea becomes like travel-
ing villages, Fraser said. Many
rafting organisms brood their
young so their kids grow up on
the same raft.
The JTMDs were mostly syn-
thetics: fiberglass, polystyrene,
polyvinyl chloride material that
stayed afloat and wouldnt de-
grade. Wood carried away by the
tsunami probably sank, water-
logged or bored with holes by sea
creatures.
The fact that plastic has re-
placed wood was a major factor in
this tsunami-driven dispersal,
Carlton said. The last time a tsu-
nami hit Japans Sanriku coast, in
1933, the population lived in small
villages with wooden homes.
The other factor was coastal de-
velopment. That whole [village]
system is gone, replaced with cities
and vast infrastructure, Carlton
said. What weve done is change
the world of what can be cast into
the ocean.
The combination of plastics
plus coastal mega-developments,
he said, was a state change that
has occurred around the globe.
Although the scientists do not
have immediate plans to study the
wreckage from recent hurricanes
in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexi-
co, Carlton said the debris field
may be assessed when things re-
turn to a better quality for life for
everyone.
Tsunami debris continues to
wash up along the Pacific North-
west. Carlton said he expects the
objects and their living cargo to
arrive for the next 10 springs to
come.

Backlash follows U.S.
move to impose duty on
Canadian-made jetliners
BY A ARON G REGG
Chicago-based Boeing won a
major victory against a foreign
competitor earlier this week
when the Commerce Department
signaled its intent to impose a
219 percent tariff on Canadian-
made jetliners, claiming aircraft
maker Bombardier has been un-
fairly propped up by the Cana-
dian government.
But critics of the decision say
Boeing itself benefits from its
own form of government support,
which includes federal contracts
and tax breaks from state govern-
ments in the United States a
reflection of how U.S. corpora-
tions are also dependent on gov-
ernment policies, contracts, deci-
sions and in some cases direct
financial inducements in their
attempts to remain internation-
ally competitive.
The truth is anybody whos in
aerospace receives some type of
subsidy, and certainly Boeing is
no exception to that, said Darryl
Jenkins, chairman of the Ameri-
can Aviation Institute, an inde-
pendent think tank focusing on
the commercial aviation indus-
try.
A large percentage of Boeings
business comes from defense
contracts, of which the U.S. mili-
tary is easily its largest customer.
The companys Arlington-
based defense, space and security
business reported close to $7 bil-
lion in revenue in the most recent
quarter. The Pentagons fiscal
2017 budget called for buying
seven more Apache helicopters,
12 F-18 Super Hornets and four
V-22 Ospreys from the company.
Many of these contracts also
cover research-and-development
expenses that can nurture new
products, such as a $499 million
deal to help the Air Force develop
future air vehicles.

In some cases, the company
gets tax breaks from state govern-
ments hoping to lure high-paying
engineering jobs, such as an
$8.7 billion tax break the compa-
ny received from Washington
state in exchange for setting up
jobs there. Others argue that the
U.S. Export-Import Bank indi-
rectly facilitates Boeings sales
abroad, because the banks loans
effectively allow foreign airlines
to purchase Boeing jets at a dis-
count.
At the heart of the Commerce
Departments proposed tariff is
Bombardiers C Series CS100
commercial jet, which seats
about 100. Last year, Bombardier
agreed to sell 75 commercial jet-
liners to Delta Air Lines in a
multibillion-dollar deal.
Boeings objection to the deal
mystified some. Boeing was not a
competitor in Bombardiers bid
for Deltas business last year and
does not make a similar plane.
Some saw it as a political move.
The less savory aspect of this
is its a great chance for Boeing to
find common ground with Don-
ald Trump to please the economic
nationalist wing of his base, said
Richard Aboulafia, an analyst
with Teal Group, a firm that
provides aerospace and defense
analysis.
A week before Tuesdays deci-
sion, Bombardier released a
sharply worded statement titled
Boeings hypocrisy, linking to a
Seattle Times article that detailed
how Boeing has sold the 787
Dreamliner at a loss for years, in
the hope that it eventually will
make up the difference in future
sales.
It is pure hypocrisy for Boeing
to say that the C Series launch
pricing is a violation of global
trade law when Boeing does the
same for its new aircraft, Bom-
bardier said in its statement.
Boeing rejected the compari-
son.
It is simply inappropriate to
equate the billions in subsidies

style paid off in 16 but
has impeded his agenda
BY D AMIAN P ALETTA
After eight months of negotia-
tions, White House officials and
Republican leaders last week ar-
rived at a secret, hard-fought
compromise: They would push to
lower the corporate tax rate to
20 percent.
On Sunday, President Trump
walked alone to a group of report-
ers on a runway in New Jersey and
told them his preference for the
corporate tax: 15 percent.
Its indicative of an approach
Trump has employed throughout
his presidency: He has taken a
hands-off approach to working
out policy details, keeping clear of
granular discussions and declin-
ing to take a stand on the thorni-
est questions. When plans are
almost ready, he has again and
again demanded that they be,
in vague terms, better.
The approach was successful as
a presidential candidate: It al-
lowed Trump to promise his presi-
dency would yield big benefits for
his supporters, But by not laying
out details of how he planned to
deliver, he left his opponents with
little to latch onto.
As president, however, it has
yet to yield a major legislative
victory despite Republicans
controlling both the House and
Senate.
Its the chickens coming home
to roost, said Douglas Holtz-

Will middle class catch a tax break in GOP overhaul? Hard to tell, critics say.
Plan is skimpy on details,
but a modest cut is likely,
with winners and losers
BY C AROLYN Y . J OHNSON
The White House on Thursday
sought to defend the central
premise of its tax overhaul that
it would represent a huge benefit
to the middle class amid grow-
ing doubts from tax policy ex-
perts, Democrats and even some
prominent conservatives that it
would accomplish that goal.
Critics said that glaring omis-
sions from the plan released
Wednesday make it hard to tell
whether middle-class families
would fare better or worse, but
they predicted that once the
blanks were filled in, the effects
were likely to be a modest cut with
some winners and losers. People
who itemize deductions on their
tax returns and live in high-tax
states, for example, may lose a
valuable deduction in their state
and local taxes.
There is simply no chance this
proposal is going to deliver a
historically large tax cut for
middle-income people. It would
have to be changed radically for

Congress one of these days.
Im talking about the
proposed repeal of the estate
tax, which Trump and many
Republicans have taken to
calling the death tax even
though its paid by only about 1
in every 500 estates. As opposed
to the millions of small
businesses that Trump claimed
in his Wednesday speech would
be helped by eliminating the tax.
As things stand now, estates
of more than about $5.5 million
about $11 million for married
couples pay taxes of up to
40 percent on assets above those
thresholds. I think the rate is
excessive, and I dont know how
many people leap through
endless hoops to minimize or
eliminate estate taxes but
thats a topic for a different day.
What I do know, however, is
that death conveys a big
President Trump takes the stage to talk about his tax plan Wednesday in Indianapolis. Thus far its a plan with very few details.
White House and GOP leaders
have still not sorted through
many of the most vital details of
Trumps promise to deliver the
largest tax cut in U.S. history.
There is, in short, no ham-
mered-out tax plan, only a nine-
page framework of GOP goals that
have yet to be filled in or agreed
to. Lawmakers now plan to clash
over the details, with the White
House staying in touch but giving
them room to negotiate.
They stuck with the 20 percent
tax-rate target in the unified
framework released Wednesday,
but some people close to Trump
fear he might waver again.
Speaking Wednesday in Indi-
ana, Trump said the tax rate
would end up being no higher
than 20 percent, leaving the door
open for him to keep trying to
push it lower.
These tax cuts are significant,
he said. Theres never been tax
cuts like were talking about.
that to happen, said Howard
Gleckman, a senior fellow at the
Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Cen-
ter. And similarly, when they
have said at times this would not
be a tax cut for high-income peo-
ple, they cannot deliver on that
either. This is going to be a very,
very big tax cut for the highest
income people.
White House economic adviser
Gary Cohn said on ABCs Good
Morning America that the aver-
age family of four making
$55,000 would see its taxes de-
crease between $650 and $1,000.
He acknowledged that some mid-
dle-class families might see tax
increases.
Theres an exception to every
rule, Cohn said on the morning
show.
The tax plan has provisions
targeted at middle-class taxpay-
ers. It doubles the standard de-
duction, increasing the amount of
money people can earn tax-free
up to $24,000 for a married cou-
ple. But that comes paired with
the loss of the $4,050 per person
exemption currently in the tax
code, which could mean that large
families could end up worse off.
Whether they do would depend
in part on how much bigger the
existing child tax credits get. The
plan says it would significantly
increase those credits by an un-
advantage to the estates of the
99.8 percent of us (including
me) who havent accumulated
enough assets to be subject to
the tax an advantage that
could shrink or disappear to
help Trump and Congress
accommodate the 0.2 percent.
The advantage: When we die,
the tax basis value for tax
purposes of assets we leave
behind is marked up, tax-free, to
their value on the day we died.
So if you started your married
life 40 or 50 years ago by buying
a $27,000 house, traded up a few
times and are leaving behind a
house worth about $500,000,
your inheritors can sell the
house without having to pay
capital gains tax or having to
figure out what your tax basis in
the house was.
This tax-free step-up also
helps your heirs should you
The nine-page document re-
leased Wednesday pales in scope
compared with the 461-page tax
plan the Reagan administration
offered in 1985 that helped shep-
herd the last tax overhaul into law.
On health care, infrastructure,
the deficit and a range of other
issues, the Trump administration
has stopped short of specifying its
platform.
On Tuesday, Trump told a
handful of Republicans and Dem-
ocrats in a White House meeting
that he was now opposed to pub-
lic-private partnerships for infra-
structure programs. He cited the
example of a toll road in northern
Indiana that fell into bankruptcy.
He dismissed it categorically
and said it doesnt work, said
Rep. Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.), who

Immediately after the release
of the tax overhaul plan by the
White House and leading Repub-
licans on Wednesday, Republican
Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and
Mike Lee (Utah) seized on the
question of how much the child
tax credit, currently valued at up
to $1,000 per child, would grow.
Given the fundamental re-
forms of the framework, the child
credit must be at least doubled in
order to ensure working families
get real tax relief, Rubio and Lee
said.

taxable account, stock that you
bought 25 years ago and whose
quarterly dividends youve been

to the tax-free step-up, your
heirs dont have to try to figure
out how much you paid for each
part of the holding.
So, you see, this provision of
the tax code provides
substantial breaks for the
99.8 percent. And these breaks
might well be limited or even
eliminated if the estate tax is
repealed, to help cover the cost
of eliminating the tax for the
5,000 to 6,000 estates a year
that are subject to it.
Why do I say that? Because
theres a precedent for it. As I
wrote in January, when I
anticipated that eliminating the
estate tax would be a key item

Senior administration officials
were flabbergasted. They had
spent months designing a $1 tril-
lion infrastructure plan that cen-
tered on the idea of privatizing
roads, air traffic control systems
and other networks. On Wednes-
day, they were still trying to sort
through whether Trump had mis-
spoke or changed policy.
Trumps team had planned to
issue his infrastructure plan in
May, but staffers have been beset
by delays, in part because they
cannot agree on how to finance
the entire operation.
The indecision has been most
evident on health-care policy.
Trump vowed to roll back the
Affordable Care Act on his first
day in office, but the White House
never advanced a single substan-
tive health-care proposal, relying
instead on Congress, which failed
multiple times to enact changes
into law. When the House passed
a bill in June, Trump said he
JABIN BOTSFORD/THE WASHINGTON POST
Lily Batchelder, a professor of
law and public policy at New York
University School of Law, said
that if the increase in the child tax
credit is relatively small, millions
of middle-class people who do not
itemize deductions on their taxes
could see an increase in their
taxes under the plan. Thats be-
cause families will lose the per-
sonal exemption. A family of four

If the estate tax is repealed,

to tax-free step-up if Trumps
proposal is adopted. I got a

He later complained to Senate
Republicans that the bill was

His budget proposal was so

gressional Budget Office said it
could not adequately review it,
adding that the proposals . . . are
in many cases not sufficiently
specified, and in some cases
found the White Houses eco-
nomic claims would not be
achievable.
This is markedly different from
past White House operations,
which have often buried Capitol

posals hoping to have a lead role
in how bills are written.
To be sure, that approach does
not always work. The Clinton ad-

I think, far and away, the big-
gest problem is youre potentially
raising taxes on a lot of middle-
class families unless you fill in
the details the right way, said
Ramesh Ponnuru, a senior editor
at National Review. If it raises
taxes on the middle class, its
political poison.
On net, the changes in the plan
might end up being a wash or
slight cut for most middle-class
families, several economists said.
Only about 30 percent of fami-
lies itemize deductions, so the
effect of losing the state and local
tax deduction will be far from
universal. Two of the most popu-
lar deductions are explicitly being
retained for mortgage interest
payments and charitable contri-
butions.
I would imagine most middle-
class people would not be affected
much. . . . I wouldnt imagine any-

tax rate or a giant cut, said Apar-

clear cuts spelled out, with an end
to the estate tax and a cut to the

makes it impossible to calculate
how much Trump would
personally benefit from the
proposals hes peddling,
something that I think is
important for us to know.
But even though details are
lacking, theres one thing we can
be sure of. Its this. Trump and
his family plus the families of
the centimillionaires and
billionaires in his Cabinet and
among his advisers and
financial backers would
benefit enormously from the
end of the estate tax. Regardless
of the harm that repeal would
certainly do to public finance

care changes, but Congress
balked and it ended up a chief
unmet goal of Bill Clintons presi-
dency.
White House officials say they
learned a hard lesson from the
failed effort to roll back the Af-
fordable Care Act, which featured
numerous competing GOP plans
the party never coalesced around.
By moving more slowly on tax
cuts, White House officials hope,
they have a greater chance to
bring people aboard.
Those decisions will now be
tested.
The Committee for a Responsi-
ble Federal Budget estimates that
the new GOP framework would
cut taxes by $5.8 trillion and re-
coup $3.6 trillion by eliminating
mostly unspecified tax deduc-
tions that many companies will
fight to preserve. Even if all those
battles are won, it will lead to a
$2.2 trillion gap in revenue over
10 years, the committee forecast, a
level that could prove difficult to
push through Congress.
Trump has shown an element
of urgency on the tax push,
though, and he has told aides he
wants it completed by the end of
the year. Still, Republican leaders
struggled for months to reach
agreements on specifics, at times
leaving final decisions for later.
Republicans on Capitol Hill
seemed willing to step in now and
try to take the nine-page frame-
work and mold it into a tax bill,
which many of them say will give
lawmakers a bigger say in the
process.
Im actually grateful theyre
letting us fill in many of the
blanks, said Rep. Carlos Curbelo
(R-Fla.).
Treasury Secretary Steven
Mnuchin had long said the goal
for the tax-cut bill was to pass it by
August, but Republicans working
on the plan didnt even have the
nine-page framework by then.
Now, lawmakers have only a cou-
ple of months to decide which tax
breaks to jettison, what changes
should be permanent,and wheth-
er to prevent the wealthy from
receiving too much as part of the
deal. Administration officials
want the tax deal to be finished by
the end of the year.

top tax rate although Congress
will have the ability to create a
higher rate.
The larger middle-class benefit
projected by some conservative
economists is not the tax cuts
themselves, but the effect that
changes to business taxes could
have on economic growth.
Theyll get a tax cut. Theres no
question about it, said Douglas
Holtz-Eakin, president of the
American Action Forum. But the
more important thing is to pay
smaller taxes out of a bigger pay-
check. The most important thing
for the middle class is to have an
economy that performs better.
There will be squabbles about
how to factor in any growth from
the economy in determining the
long-term economic effects of the
plan, but the larger middle-class
tax burden could lie in the future.
We are running a debt of
$20 trillion-plus, said G. William
Hoagland, a senior vice president
at the Bipartisan Policy Center
and a longtime Republican budg-
et aide. We have to remember
that debt is a tax on future genera-
tions, and so we talk about the
immediate benefits, but also we
have to recognize if this added
to the debt significantly, we are
simply transferring a tax to future
generations.

Toys R Us bankruptcy ling sends ripples of trouble through toy industry
Mega-retailer owes
$7.5 billion to more than
100,000 creditors

Within hours of Toys R Uss

maker of Max Tow Truck and

a financial alarm of its own:
Jakks Pacific, the company said,
expected to swing to a loss this
year as a result of the mega-retail-

USDA closes investigation into enormous organic farm
But agency is silent on
complaints that Aurora
violated rules last year
BY P ETER W HORISKEY
The Agriculture Department
has closed an investigation into
Aurora Organic Dairy, a mega-
dairy highlighted in a Washington
Post article this year, finding no
violations of organic standards.
But the agency did not say
whether the investigation dis-
proved the potential violations
The Post uncovered last year, say-
ing only that Aurora is currently
operating in compliance with or-
ganic rules.
We determined that Auroras
livestock and pasture manage-
ment practices comply with exist-
ing USDA organic regulations and
NOP policies, Betsy Rakola, di-
rector of enforcement for the Na-
tional Organic Program at USDA,
wrote in a letter to Aurora.
Therefore, the case is hereby
closed.
The closure of the case was
blasted by Cornucopia Institute,
the watchdog group that filed the
official complaint that set off the
investigation after The Posts re-
port.
Federal regulators believe Au-
rora and other large members of
the industry lobby group Organic

standards.

have come under increasing pres-

lations that could impact their
massive advertising businesses.
The Washington Post reported
this week that some of the 3,000
Facebook ads bought by Russian
operatives promoted African
American rights groups, includ-
ing Black Lives Matter. Those ads
were targeted at users in specific
locations such as Ferguson, Mo.,
and Baltimore, two cities that
have faced violent protests over
police shootings of black men.
Ads aimed at voters in other
regions, meanwhile, suggested
that the same groups posed a
rising political threat.
Other ads featured Muslims
supporting Democrat Hillary
Clinton for president and were
targeted at Facebook users who
might fear Muslims.
Facebook, Google and Twitter
are being summoned to a public
hearing before the Senate Intelli-
gence Committee on Nov. 1.
The Twitter accounts, which
were taken down over the past
month, were associated with 470
accounts and pages that Face-

As toymakers and suppliers
decide what to do next, many say
they are likely to lose millions of
dollars as a result of the bank-
ruptcy, sending a ripple of finan-
cial troubles throughout the toy
industry.
This year continues to present
a challenging retail environment,
which has now been further dis-
rupted by the Toys R Us Chapter

But lawmakers and analysts
criticized Twitter for appearing to
have accepted and looked into
only the data that it had received
from Facebook, rather than con-
ducting a broader internal inves-
tigation.
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), the
ranking Democrat on the House
Intelligence Committee, said
Twitter needs to launch a far
more robust investigation into
how Russian actors are using its
site, adding that there are seri-
ous questions about whether
Twitter has the capability to do

mine how much the Russians
used their platform.
In a blog post, Twitter did not
reveal who was targeted by the
ads or how many times they were
shared. Twitter declined to com-

ed a broader search of its users for
Russian interference. The compa-

The company has been on a
downward spiral for years,
crushed by growing competition
and mounting piles of debt. An-
nual sales have fallen for six years
in a row, and last year Toys R Us
reported a loss of $29 million.
Bankruptcy experts said the
companys future will largely de-
pend on whether it can persuade
its suppliers to keep shipping
their products, particularly
ahead of the holiday season,
which accounts for about 40 per-
cent of its annual sales.
If the bankruptcy filing does
not allay supplier fears and con-
sumer fears, the holiday shop-
ping season could be disastrous
leading to, at a minimum, store
closings or possibly a complete
liquidation, said Tom Arnold, a
finance professor at the Univer-
sity of Richmonds Robins School
of Business.

that it had received $3.1 billion

last year but has not shared the
contents of those records or how
they might have shown that Auro-
ra was meeting grazing require-
ments.
The Post article reported that
during visits to Auroras High
Plains complex across eight days
last year, signs of grazing were
sparse, at best. Aurora said its
animals were out on pasture day
and night, but at no point during
those visits was any more than
10 percent of the 15,000-cow herd
out on pasture. A high-resolution
satellite photo taken in mid-July
by DigitalGlobe, a space imagery
vendor, showed a typical situation
only a few hundred on pasture.
The USDAs Rakola said the
Post photographs, visits and
chemical testing did not prove
violations.
The photographs and observa-
tions referenced in the news arti-
cle, while reviewed as supporting
information, did not provide suf-
ficient evidence to substantiate
such violations, Rakola said in
the letter.
The USDA also confirmed that
the required annual inspection of
Aurora, which was conducted by
the Colorado Department of Agri-
culture, occurred after grazing
season, contrary to policy. But it
announced no sanctions against
the agency for the breach.
Consumers pay roughly twice
the price for USDA Organic milk,
believing among other things that
the cows that produce it are al-
lowed to graze during grazing
season.
But many organic farmers and
industry observers say that USDA
enforcement of those standards
leaves consumers far too vulner-
able to fraud and small family
farms open to unfair competition.

Google, the largest online ad-

also has been asked to provide

Congress, but it has not said
whether it will do so. The compa-

Google did not respond to repeat-

In many ways, Twitter has been
the most vulnerable to exploita-
tion among social media compa-
nies. The company officially says
that 5 percent of accounts on
Twitter are bots, but outside re-
searchers say the number could
be much higher.
It is easy to create fake ac-
counts on Twitter, making it hard
for the company to discern the
extent of Russian meddling, ana-
lysts said.

Senate Democrats push
infrastructure spending
They see a win-win for
lawmakers, White House
in $500 billion proposal
BY A SHLEY H ALSEY III
Senate Democrats, embold-
ened by the GOPs failure to
unilaterally pass a health-care
bill, are launching an effort to
win bipartisan support for the
investment of $500 billion in
taxpayer money in infrastruc-
ture improvements.
With health-care changes at a
standstill and tax reform an-
other objective on which Repub-
licans campaigned last year a
complex project that is expected
to take months, Democrats hope
infrastructure spending will
emerge as a desirable legislative
win for Congress and the White
House.
The Democratic push came in
a week when President Trump
appeared to acknowledge that
his campaign promise to raise
$1 trillion for infrastructure
largely through private-sector in-
vestment was not feasible.
Democrats on the Senate Envi-
ronment and Public Works Com-
mittee sent a letter Thursday
asking to meet with Transporta-
tion Secretary Elaine L. Chao,
reminding her of her confirma-
tion-hearing promise to work in
bipartisan fashion in delivering
on Trumps campaign promise.
That appeal is buttressed by an
internal committee document in
which the Democrats outline
their infrastructure priorities for
Chairman Sen. John Barrasso (R-
Wyo.). Barrasso expressed wor-
ries at a committee hearing in
February that rural states like his
wouldnt attract much of the pri-
vate investment Trump promised.
We have woefully
underinvested in our
nations infrastructure
for decades.
Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.)
The committees Democrats
spelled out a proposal to spend
$500 billion more from taxpay-
ers on infrastructure over 10
years, all in areas within its
purview. (The committees do-
main is highways, the Banking
Committee handles transit sys-
tems, and the Commerce Com-
mittee is responsible for buses
and railways.)
With no more than a nine-
page tax proposal on the table
thus far, and divisions within the
GOP that need resolution before
a tax bill can pass, Democrats
and many Republicans see an
infrastructure funding package
as something on which Congress
can more readily agree.
With health care, we have
clearly seen that trying to rush
through legislation on major,
complex issues on a partisan
basis is not a winning strategy,
said Sen. Thomas R. Carper
(Del.), the Senate Environment
and Public Works Committees
ranking Democrat. Senate Re-
INTELLIGENCE FOR LEADERS
WASHINGTONPOST.COM/POWERPOST
publicans should not make the
same mistake on infrastructure,
especially when we have an in-
credible opportunity to come
together and do something his-
toric that could positively impact
every corner of this country.
The decline of key systems
highways, water and sewer, the
electrical grid, ports and levees
along inland waterways has
been well documented, and state
governments unable to keep up
with repairs or expand when
needed have communicated that
to Congress.
With an abundance of biparti-
san will to meet the need, the
unresolved controversy has been
how to pay for it. The options
range from leaving much of the
tax burden to the states, to
increasing the federal tax on gas
and diesel, to forcing multina-
tional companies who have kept
about $2 trillion in profits off-
shore to bring the money home,
using the tax revenue from that
money to pay for infrastructure.
But Congress, reluctant to ap-
prove anything that sniffs of a tax
increase, has not opted for any of
those options, or some combina-
tion of them. Instead, federal
funding for transportation infra-
structure has limped along with
current revenue, boosted by
funding that members of both
parties have called gimmicks.
We have woefully underin-
vested in our nations infrastruc-
ture for decades, and aging
roads, highways, bridges, rail-
ways and waterways across our
country show the consequences
of those shortsighted decisions,
Carper said, echoing the findings
of numerous studies. If we make
serious and smart investments in
infrastructure, we could jump-
start our local and national econ-
omy. We cant afford to squander
this moment.
In a meeting with House Dem-
ocrats on Tuesday, Trump re-
versed the position he cam-
paigned on and enunciated at
the outset of his presidency.
Based on a 10-page paper
developed late in the campaign,
Trump said he would stimulate
$1 trillion in infrastructure ex-
penditures over 10 years by
granting $137 billion in tax cred-
its to private investors.
The paper was the creation of
Wilbur Ross, who now serves as
commerce secretary, and Peter
Navarro, who heads the presi-
dents National Trade Council.
On Tuesday, however, Trump
told Democratic members of the
House Ways and Means Commit-
tee that luring private investors
into a partnership with govern-
ment was not the answer.
That change of stance sur-
prised even those who had ques-
tioned whether private investors
could meet all but a sliver of the
need. Among those who support-
ed the Ross-Navarro approach,
the reaction was shock.
I was both astonished and
dismayed, said Bob Poole, direc-
tor of transportation policy at
the libertarian Reason Founda-
tion. Everything the administra-
tion had said up until [Tuesday]
was that public-private partner-
ships and private investments in
infrastructure improvements
was going to be the core of the
program. There is not $1 trillion
of federal money available.

FBI ceremony notable for no-shows
Trump, Comey, Mueller
skip Wrays swearing-in
amid Russia probe
BY D EVLIN B ARRETT
The ceremony installing Chris-
topher A. Wray as FBI director
went off without a hitch Thurs-
day and without the traditional
presence of the president and
Wrays immediate predecessors.
Wray took over as director of
the FBI in August, but Thursday
in the courtyard of FBI headquar-
ters, he was formally sworn in.
While a number of current and
former law enforcement officials
attended, the installation cer-
emony was most notable for its
no-shows which included Pres-
ident Trump and former direc-
tors James B. Comey and Robert
S. Mueller III. The president
would normally make remarks,
and the directors predecessors
would be in the front row of the
audience. Thats what happened
at the last such event, held for
Comey in 2013.
But under the current circum-
stances that would have made for
an incredibly awkward public
moment. The FBI is investigating
the presidents interactions with
Comey and others as part of the
probe into whether Trump asso-
ciates may have coordinated with
agents of the Russian govern-
ment to influence the 2016 presi-
dential election.
The selection of Wray to be the
new FBI director only came about
because Trump fired Comey in
May, a move which led shortly
after to the appointment of Muel-
ler as special counsel overseeing
the probe.
None of the speakers referred
directly to the Russia probe, but
its shadow seemed to hang over
the 45-minute proceeding on a
sunny afternoon.
In its way, the event was a
physical manifestation of the un-
usual amount of distance the FBI
now has from the White House
because of the investigation. The
Federal workers honored at gala get Trumps praise

ironic, to see a top

I am honored to serve
alongside you in government and
have a great appreciation for your

tuxedo-clad Mick Mulvaney,
director of the Office of
Management and Budget, told
the 2017 winners of the Samuel J.

Medals, a.k.a. Sammies.

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray speaks at his installation ceremony at FBI headquarters Thursday.
most senior administration offi-
cial in attendance was Attorney
General Jeff Sessions, who has
recused himself from the Russia
probe.
Sessions called Wray a bril-
liant attorney dedicated to the
rule of law. Many of his com-
ments praising Wray, though,
In the days to come, Chris, therell be many
controversies. There seem to be a lot of them these
days, but theyve always been out there.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions
could also be taken as an implicit
critique of Comey, whose ouster
Sessions helped engineer.
Nothing is more important to
me, you have to know, than en-
suring that this nation has a
director of the FBI of the highest
quality, Sessions said. You can
know we have spent time
[Deputy Attorney General] Rod
with its 60-foot ceiling
surrounded by fluted columns, on
Constitution Avenue NW. Now
reading a letter from Trump,
Mulvaney said, We are grateful
for all of our nations hard-
working federal employees and
their continued commitment to
serving our country.
Unfortunately, that gratitude
was not reflected in Trumps plan
to cut federal retirement benefits
seriously devaluing the
1.9 percent raise federal workers
are to receive next year. Gratitude
was not demonstrated by Interior
Secretary Ryan Zinke, who this
week accused 30 percent of his
staff of disloyalty. The
appreciation Mulvaney expressed
was not shown in his budget
proposal, which cuts staff
numbers and undermines
agencies missions, or in the failing
grades he earned on federal union
scorecards as a U.S. representative
from South Carolina.
That aside, everyone took the
words of Trump and Mulvaney at
face value. It was a celebration of
federal workers, whose devotion
to mission is unflinching and
inspiring, no matter the political
circumstances. There was no talk
of draining the swamp.
Our democracy depends
considerably on a well-
functioning government with the
best people, said Max Stier, the
president and chief executive of
the Partnership for Public
Service, the nonprofit
organization that sponsors the
Sammies. And the
accomplishments of tonights
winners should engender trust
and confidence in our federal
workforce.
This week, we listed the
winners and their achievements.
Today we learn more about the
honorees and get their thoughts.
Federal Employees of the
Year: Phillip A. Brooks, Byron
Bunker and Joshua H. Van Eaton,
an Environmental Protection
Agency and Justice Department
team. Their work led to
$17.4 billion in legal settlements
over a Volkswagen scheme to
evade U.S. auto emission
standards.
Bunker of Ann Arbor, Mich.,
has been with the EPA for 18
years. In the end, the tangible
public health benefits of EPA
programs are the most rewarding

Rosenstein and I and others have
worked on this evaluation and
I was so pleased, thrilled really, to
recommend to President Trump
that he be nominated to be your
director.
Sessions played a key role in
the firing of Comey discussing
the matter beforehand with the
president, and then recommend-
ing the directors removal less
than four years into Comeys 10-
year term.
A director must know it is not
about him, but about security and
justice, and most of all, law, said
Sessions. Director Wray meets
that test in full.
The attorney general finished
aspect of our work. We frequently
hold public hearings on new
environmental policies and hear
very personal stories . . . that
invariably renew my focus on why
we do our work and the relevance
of it in the day-to-day lives of real
people.
Brooks, a federal worker since
1987, works at EPA headquarters
in Washington. The settlement
made clear to the world that the
United States will not tolerate
purposeful evasion of its
environmental rules.
Van Eaton of Arlington has
been with Justice since 2008. I
consider my work enforcing and
upholding the rule of law as a
Department of Justice attorney to
be a special privilege and a
solemn responsibility.
Career Achievement Medal:
Tedd V. Ellerbrock, of the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention in Atlanta, will be 71
on Friday and is the oldest
winner. He was instrumental in
providing assistance to millions
around the world living with HIV
and AIDS. For nearly 50 years, I
have been pursuing that vision (to
get medicine to poor countries),
and my career at CDC . . . has
helped me finally achieve the
vision. The only part of my career
that I regret is that someday I will
probably have to retire. . . . I
cannot imagine any activity that
will be as enjoyable and
rewarding as my involvement in
this effort.
Science and Environment
Medal: Rory A. Cooper, with the
Department of Veterans Affairs in
Pittsburgh, designed innovations
that provide increased mobility
for veterans with disabilities.
The most rewarding part of my
career is seeing the impact of our
work on veterans, their families
and people with disabilities.
Homeland Security and
Law Enforcement Medal:
Timothy P. Camus, with the
Internal Revenue Service office in
the District, and the IRS
Impersonation Scam team
shutdown a massive fraud in
which 10,000 Americans paid
$54 million in bogus tax bills.
Our team made an impact by
using every possible approach to
protect innocent people from
being victimized by criminals
who were impersonating the IRS.

his remarks with a warning, of
sorts: In the days to come, Chris,
therell be many controversies.
There seem to be a lot of them
these days, but theyve always
been out there. It is the nature of
the job, I suppose.
When it was his turn to speak,
Wray mentioned his predecessor
Comey in listing the previous
seven people who have been con-
firmed as FBI director. He
praised the great traditions of the
FBI but noted that its history
hasnt come without missteps, it
hasnt come without errors in
judgment.
Hundreds of FBI employees
and relatives gathered in the
courtyard to watch the ceremony,
and hundreds more watched
from the buildings upper floors.
Our mission is simple, but
profound to protect the Ameri-
can people and uphold the Con-
stitution, Wray said. That mis-
sion hasnt changed, and it wont
change, not as long as I have
anything to say about it.

so they did not become victims in
the first place.
National Security and
International Affairs Medal:
Alex Mahoney of Washington,
and the Agency for International
Development Middle East Crisis
Humanitarian Response team,
helped provide water, food and
medicine to 7 million people in
Iraq and Syria. Working for the
federal government is the best
career choice I could have made.
. . . We are saving lives.
Promising Innovations
Medal: Flora Mackie Jordan,
28, of the Marine Corps Systems
Command in Quantico, Va., and
the youngest winner, developed
body armor that is significantly
lighter, can be better adjusted to
individuals and is as protective as
heavier gear. The most
rewarding part is working with
the Marines and being able to
provide them with something
that improves their ability to do
their mission and just makes their
lives a little bit easier/less
painful.
Management Excellence
Medal: Courtney Lias, Stayce

DAVID IGNATIUS
A clue
to Trumps
foreign policy
O S
ne simple rule for decoding foreign
policy is that presidential trips
often drive the agenda. So the fact
that President Trump is planning
to visit Beijing and other Asian capitals in
just over a month may tell us more about
whats ahead in that region than all the
tweets, rumors and palace intrigue.
War with North Korea? Its a scary
possibility, for sure. But a president who is
preparing for a grand meeting in Novem-
ber with Chinese President Xi Jinping
wont want to fly there through a cloud of
nuclear fallout. Will Xi deliver on his
promise to pressure Pyongyang before-
hand? The trip plans make that more likely
than some analysts think, given that Xi and
Trump want a Mar-a-Lago 2.0 that cel-
ebrates joint efforts on regional issues.
And what about Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson, the gray man of Trumps foreign
policy team and the subject of ceaseless
rumors that he will be fired? Well, he was
on his way to Beijing Thursday to prepare
the way for the Trump visit. Its unlikely
that the Sherpa will be thrown off the
mountain before the president reaches the
summit.
The hardest challenge in following this
chaotic White House is separating actual
policy from the House of Cards backbit-
ing that surrounds the president. Trump
seems to operate with what might be called
an iron whim, becoming enraged about
perceived slights and oversights, fulminat-
ing one moment and threatening retribu-
tion but then turning to something
entirely different.
In Trump world, were
learning to watch what he
does more than just read his
inflammatory tweets.
These presidential cycles of favor and
disfavor seem to change almost daily:
Trump publicly insults Attorney General
Jeff Sessions but continues to work with
him. He rages at Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and flirts with his
Democratic rival, Sen. Charles E. Schumer
(D-N.Y.), and then a few weeks later dis-
cards bipartisanship and panders to his
GOP base. Most recently, he was all in for
Luther Strange in Alabamas Republican
Senate primary until he wasnt.
At the center of this perpetual White
House hurricane have been Tillerson and
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who in the
administrations first weeks lashed them-
selves to each other and to the mast of
policy. That alliance seems as steady as
ever, even as the rumors fly that the
president is about to throw Tillerson over-
board in favor of U.S. Ambassador to the
United Nations Nikki Haley. That Cabinet
shuffle may happen eventually, but its
unlikely now, when Tillerson is stewarding
the China trip and diplomatic strategy for
North Korea.
The politics of travel helps explain
another policy knot. Trumps first overseas
destination was Saudi Arabia, and he loved
the royal pomp that greeted him. He
invested heavily in Crown Prince Moham-
med bin Salman as a change agent a
Trumpian disrupter of the status quo in
Saudi Arabia (who delivered bigly with
this weeks announcement that women
will be able to drive).
When the Saudis and the United Arab
Emirates decided to squeeze their trouble-
some neighbor Qatar, Trump instinctively
sided with Riyadh. Tillerson initially
peeved Trump by leaning the other way,
arguing that this dispute should be medi-
ated. But by this month, Trump seemed to
have come around to Tillersons viewpoint
and was talking on the phone to King
Salman and in person to Qatars ruling
Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani to say
that it was time to resolve the dispute. An
effort last week failed, but there will be
another.
Trump still leans toward Riyadh, but he
knows that Tillerson and Mattis have a
united front on this issue, as on most
others. The Tillerson-Mattis relationship
remains the balance wheel of this adminis-
tration. Trump may get angry, as after
Tillersons comment that the president
spoke for only himself after the Charlottes-
ville unrest. But its said that Trump
watched the video of Tillersons remarks
three times and decided he was okay with
them, though he may still be quietly
grumbling.
Tillerson remains mystifyingly reluc-
tant to use the communications tools that
are an essential part of U.S. foreign policy.
The latest example was the way he ceded
control of refugee policy, a traditional State
Department issue, to White House aide
Stephen Miller, who set a cap of 45,000, the
lowest in decades. Apparent (unfortunate)
message: Tillerson didnt want another
open dispute with the president.
In Trump world, were learning to watch
what the president does more than just
read his inflammatory tweets. That lesson
applies to his itinerary. Watch where he
goes, and some of the policy implications
become clear. A president who is about to
attack North Korea doesnt schedule a
November trip to China.

The GOPs ridiculous tax claims
L
ast year, I proposed a
handy rule of thumb for evalu-
ating the economic proposals
of politicians: The more
growth they promise, the worse their
plan probably is.
Why? Because the promise of bon-
kers growth usually means the politi-
cians need that bonkers growth to
paper over the ginormous deficits
sure to follow in the real world,
under more realistic assumptions.
If you assume that the economy
goes gangbusters and everyone gets a
lot richer, then the tax base swells,
spending on social-safety-net services
falls, and hallelujah! That expensive
thing you want no longer looks so
expensive. Maybe its even free!
This rule of thumb was useful dur-
ing the presidential campaign, when
candidates promised that their infra-
structure, health and tax proposals
would pay for themselves through
faster growth. Its relevant again with
the Big Sixs new tax plan. tration officials who has been us-
I put plan in scare-quotes here
because its not really a plan. At best
its an outline, offering barely more
detail than the bullet points the
Trump administration released
in April. It doesnt even specify the
thresholds for the individual income-
tax rates it proposes. It also doesnt
identify a single individual tax prefer-
ence it would kill, despite claiming to
simplify the code and close lots of
loopholes. Even the state and local
tax deduction, which administration
officials have talked about eliminat-
ing, isnt explicitly mentioned.
The plans designers may not know
what their proposal is, exactly, but
they know it will turbocharge growth.
President Trump told a group of
Democrats and Republicans on Tues-
day that this tax framework could lead

Why add a vital ally to the travel ban?
BY N ASSER W EDDADY
T
he latest iteration of the Trump
administrations travel ban
came with a twist that baffled
many Africa watchers: the in-
clusion of Chad, a country that has
played a critical role in fighting Islamist
terrorist groups in Africa, such as al-
Qaeda and Nigerias Boko Haram.
It is hard to overstate the degree to
which Chad is no softy on terrorism.
President Trumps travel ban for the
country sends a chilling message to
other nations: Even if you stand by the
United States and the West and spill
blood to combat terrorists in the proc-
ess you still might end up on the
presidents list of U.S. undesirables.
Few remember how hard-pressed
France and the United States were in
2013 to find African nations willing and
able to contribute effective combat
troops to dislodge al-Qaeda affiliates
from northern Mali. Yet despite the
United States well-justified skepticism
of African military capabilities, Chadian
troops ended up spearheading the of-
fensive to liberate northern Mali from
terrorist rule after France launched
Operation Serval that January. Having
earned a reputation for possessing some
of the best desert-warfare troops in the
world, Chad then sent troops to north-
ern Nigeria, where they were often
considered more capable than the Ni-
gerian military.
And lets not forget that Chad houses
a U.S. drone base as well as Special
Operations forces critical to American
security interests stretching from So-
malia to Mauritania. Its capital city of
EZ
cent a year, as my Post colleagues re-
ported.
To give you a sense of how ridicu-
lous that is, the Federal Reserves me-
dian forecast for long-term growth is
1.8 percent, thanks in part to demo-
graphic challenges facing the country.
(What matters is the long-term num-
ber, as growth rates can bounce
around a lot quarter to quarter and
over the course of the business cycle.)
The Congressional Budget Office, in
scoring Trumps budget this year, said
it would add maybe a tenth of a
percentage point to growth bring-
ing us to a whopping 1.9 percent.
Trumps own economic advisers
have said they think the sum total of
all his tax and regulatory policies
would get us to only 3 percent
growth, a number that has been
mocked by more or less the entire
economics community.
National Economic Council Direc-
tor Gary Cohn is one of the adminis-
Republicans may see this as a best-
ing that 3 percent benchmark, which
he repeated on CNBC on Thursday
while declaring that perhaps we
might get even substantially over
3 percent.
We think we can pay for the entire
tax cut through growth over the cycle,
he explained.
Uh-huh.
A Tax Policy Center estimate of the
fuzzy April framework found that it
would lower revenue between
$3.5 trillion and $7.8 trillion over a
decade, depending on which loop-
holes you assume get closed. Its num-
bers dont change much after account-
ing for economic growth effects.
A separate estimate of the more
recent framework, released by the
Committee for a Responsible Federal
Budget, put the cost at about $2.2 tril-
lion.
NDjamena also serves as the nerve
center for Frances Operation
Barkhane, a combat mission to help
nations of the Sahel region secure their
territories while building their own
counterterrorism capabilities. The
NDjamena base allows France to
launch surveillance missions and air-
strikes in critical areas such as southern
Libya, northern Niger and northern
Mali, removing the need to deploy U.S.
troops in the region.
The presidents travel ban for
Chad sends a chilling
message to other nations.
Trumps decision becomes even more
odd when you factor in his removal of
Chads neighbor, Sudan, from the ban.
The Sudanese regime of Omar Hassan
al-Bashir is known for committing
genocide in Darfur, harboring Osama
bin Laden and, until recently, cozying
up to Iran. Sudan exports Islamist
extremists to Libya and Iraq. It also
allows extremists a breathing space
despite pretending otherwise. Chad, by
contrast, has produced far fewer ex-
tremists, and it has publicly denounced
Salafi extremism and some Persian Gulf
states for their troubling role in spread-
ing extremism to the region in the past.
Chad has also taken active measures to
limit the impact of Salafi activism and
literature in its territory.
Of course, Chad is not exactly a role
RE
J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Whatever the actual number is, we
know its in the trillions. No realistic
amount of growth is going to wipe that
out.
In light of all these grand growth
projections, I propose a corollary to
my earlier rule.
Here it is: If you promise that your
policy will pay for itself through
faster economic growth, you must
commit in advance to cutting the
programs you love most if that growth
doesnt materialize.
For Republicans, that means writ-
ing language into their tax bill lopping
trillions off defense spending. Hey, if
they truly believe their plan wont cost
a dime, surely theres no risk to our
national security.
Otherwise, the yawning deficits
that would inevitably result from the
Trump plan may turn into an excuse to
decimate programs Republicans are
already eyeing, such as Medicaid and
food stamps. In fact, starve the beast
case scenario.
Kansas provides a cautionary
tale here. The state passed sweeping
tax cuts in 2012 on promises that they
would unleash boundless economic
growth. Instead, the state had below-
average growth and huge budget
shortfalls, which led to brutal cuts to
services. School districts had to end
the school year early because they
literally ran out of money.
Eventually, after coming to terms
with the failure of their supply-side
experiment, the state partially re-
versed its disastrous tax cuts.
Which may be where the country
ends up in a few years, if this Trump
tax framework passes. But as Kansas
proves, a lot of damage including, in
the federal case, bigger debt can be
done in the meantime.

model in democratic rule or peaceful
transfer of power. Critics may argue that
Chads hard-line stance on terrorism
has been a ruse to buy Western silence
on its democratic shortcomings. That
may be true, but the fact remains that
without Chadian assistance, Western
nations such as the United States,
France and Britain would have to send
their own troops to combat terrorism.
Besides, the West has for decades
sacrificed its principles for expediency,
backing unsavory rulers preferring
short-term security and geopolitical
gains over long-term democratization.
And in any case, the nature of the
Chadian regime is a moot point in the
Trump era. Democracy and human
rights promotion have not been a priori-
ty for the Trump administration. In-
stead, its foreign policy has so far
embraced autocrats and rejected Amer-
icas tradition of standing for its core
democratic principles.
Whatever one thinks of the war on
terror and the vast moral gray zones
involved in combating terrorism, it is
impossible today to continue effectively
combating the scourge of Islamist ex-
tremism without enlisting competent
allies. Chad, a Muslim-majority nation,
never shied away from fighting Islamist
terrorism, despite its poverty. At a time
when many nations have been either
unwilling or unable to slay the beast,
Trumps decision to shun one of the few
countries that has risen to the challenge
makes no sense.

Trumps
Cabinet loves
living large
o are there members of President
Trumps Cabinet who dont travel
by private jet? Put another way, do
any of our top officials understand
the difference between public service and
personal luxury?
Trump may not have Made America
Great Again for you or me, but he has
made it pretty sweet for political appoin-
tees who want to jet around like billion-
aires at other peoples expense. Nice work
if you can get it.
Health and Human Services Secretary
Tom Price seems to have been the most
egregious abuser. According to Politico,
Price took at least 24 flights on private
chartered aircraft since early May, at a
total cost of more than $400,000. He also
took military jets to Africa, Asia and
Europe at an additional cost of more than
$500,000, Politico reported. Until all the
scrutiny, Price wasnt picking up the tab.
We the taxpayers were. On Thursday,
Price said he would write a check to the
Treasury Department for about $52,000
to cover the cost of his seat on those
chartered domestic flights.
Now, everyone understands that the
secretary of defense would take an expen-
sive military flight to visit the troops in a
war zone, or that the secretary of state
would be flown in his own government
plane to an international conference, or
that the secretary of homeland security
might charter a jet to reach the scene of
some domestic crisis. But the secretary of
HHS? Did some regional office need him
to make an emergency delivery of printer
ink?
Politico cited a June 6 flight Price took
to and from Nashville for a morning
appearance and an afternoon speech. The
cost was a staggering $17,760 while
commercial flights would have allowed
Price to complete the same itinerary for as
little as $202.
There was nothing normal about this.
Previous HHS secretaries have flown
commercial. I dont think it should be
mandatory for Cabinet officials to squeeze
themselves into coach, as members of
Congress often do when flying back and
forth to their constituencies; business
class, when available, would seem appro-
priate. But chartering a jet for a non-
urgent hop to Nashville is simply beyond
the pale especially given that Price
seems to have had personal reasons for
making that trip.
It turns out that Prices son lives in
Nashville, and that Price owns a condo-
minium there. In fact, Price found time
during that June 6 trip supposedly so
chock-full that he needed to go by private
jet to meet his son for lunch.
In August, also according to Politico,
Price flew in a chartered jet paid for by
you and me on his way to St. Simons
Island, Ga., a pricey resort where he and
his wife own property. He was attending a
Medical Association of Georgia retreat,
where he was scheduled to give a Sunday
speech. Why, then, with his oh-so-busy
schedule, did he need to arrive on Friday
afternoon?
Price has not been the only offender.
Environmental Protection Agency Ad-
ministrator Scott Pruitt has taken at least
four charter and military flights that cost
a total of more than $58,000, The Post
reported this week.
One of Pruitts flights on a chartered
aircraft was an Aug. 4 trip from Denver to
Durango, Colo., for a meeting with Gov.
John Hickenlooper (D) at a site where the
EPA accidentally triggered a spill of pol-
lutants two years ago. The EPA explained
that the commercial flight Pruitt had
planned to take was delayed. It turns out,
however, that Hickenlooper offered to
take Pruitt to Durango on his state-owned
plane, which presumably would have cost
the EPA nothing. The problem was that
the governor had room to accommodate
Pruitt but not his entourage.
That was obviously a dealbreaker for
Pruitt, who travels about the country and
even his headquarters building with Be-
yonc-level security. Unlike any previous
EPA administrator, Pruitt demands
round-the-clock protection by agency en-
forcement agents requiring triple the
manpower his predecessors needed.
Pruitt also is spending nearly $25,000 to
construct a secure, soundproof communi-
cations booth in his office. But my point
here isnt about paranoia. Its about imag-
ined grandeur.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin
inquired about using a $25,000-an-hour
military plane for his European honey-
moon last month. That didnt work out,
but he did take a government plane on a
trip to Fort Knox, Ky., that seemed suspi-
ciously timed to view the recent solar
eclipse.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has
acknowledged using private jets. But shes
a billionaire and pays the cost herself, as
did billionaire Penny Pritzker when she
was commerce secretary in the Obama
administration.
For the others, however, all this grasp-
ing is not just wasteful but unseemly. Most
of the Cabinet officials Ive known over
the years saw their jobs as a sacred trust.
They felt deeply responsible to the Ameri-
can people and the dedicated personnel in
their agencies.
For Price, Pruitt and Mnuchin, appar-
ently, its more about living large.

Tax reform for cowards
Mr. Trump is right. It would take a miracle for the Republican plan to deliver relief
T
AX REFORM was supposed to attract wide,
bipartisan support. Lower rates would be
fully offset by cutting unneeded deductions
and loopholes. The benefit would be a
simpler, more efficient tax code. But the idea has
moved steadily toward just another irresponsible
GOP tax cut, paid for with magical thinking, that
would erode the nations fiscal health and burden
future generations. Republicans who know better
must resist this path.
President Trump released a tax reform framework
Wednesday, promising that historic tax relief
would result in higher wages and a middle-class
miracle. Thats about as likely as it sounds. In fact,
the plan is packed with giveaways to the wealthy and
threatens to add even more to the debt.
Mr. Trump promises hefty tax cuts for ordinary
people and little benefit to top earners such as
himself. But because he refuses to release his own

A journalist is abducted and smuggled
from Georgia to Azerbaijan.
J
UST PAST 7 p.m. on May 29 in Tbilisi, the
capital of Georgia, an independent journalist,
Afgan Mukhtarli, called his wife from a cafe to
say he was coming home. She asked him to buy
bread, according to a friend of the journalist
who was at the cafe. The friend departed, but
Mr. Mukhtarli never made it home. A day later, his
wife discovered he was in neighboring Azerbaijan,
in jail. Fearing persecution as a journalist,
Mr. Mukhtarli had fled Azerbaijan two years earlier.
In a brazen example of a police state reaching
beyond its borders, Azerbaijan apparently dragged
him back.
Mr. Mukhtarli, an outspoken critic of the authori-
tarian Azeri president, Ilham Aliyev, had investigat-
ed corruption in Mr. Aliyevs defense ministry. At the
time of his disappearance, he was investigating
Mr. Aliyevs personal assets in Georgia; he had also
contributed reports to Meydan TV, an independent
digital media service reporting on Azerbaijan.
Mr. Mukhtarli was questioned in the politically
motivated prosecution of another reporter, Khadija
Ismayilova, and he finally fled to Georgia in 2015.
According to accounts Mr. Mukhtarli gave his wife
and lawyer, after leaving the cafe he was abducted
near his home in Tbilisi, beaten, blindfolded, driven
in three separate cars and brought to a border
crossing with Azerbaijan, where 10,000 euros were
stuffed in his pockets. On the Azeri side, he was
charged with smuggling and illegal border crossing.
Months later, he is still in detention in Baku.
The Mukhtarli affair has a certain stench. Mr. Ali-
yev easily took his strongman methods into the
heart of another country, Georgia. The European
Parliament passed a condemnation, but otherwise
this kind of behavior has not drawn the sharp
international censure it deserves. In a brief state-
ment, the State Department said it was disturbed
by the reported abduction. Such timidity may
confirm to Mr. Aliyev that the United States under
President Trump doesnt really care when human
rights and the rule of law are trampled abroad.

L
IKE CONGRESSIONAL Republicans who at-
tack studies showing how many people
would lose health insurance if they repealed
Obamacare, some Democratic lawmakers are
in denial when it comes to the likely impact of a
sharp increase in the minimum wage. A case in point
is Montgomery County, where a majority of the
all-Democratic County Council is pushing for a
30 percent minimum-wage hike, despite evidence it
would cost thousands of jobs.
Some of those council members were gleeful this
summer when a consulting group acknowledged
computational errors in its estimate that roughly
10 percent of the countys private-sector workforce
about 47,000 employees would lose their jobs by
2022 if the minimum wage rose to $15 an hour by
2020 from the current level of $11.50. The consultant
revised the estimate downward by about half, but
not before higher-wage advocates dismissed the
report, or any similar study that would survey
county employers, as worthless.

tax returns, Americans have no idea how much he
would benefit from his own tax plan. Three major
provisions suggest it would, in fact, do a lot for the
wealthy.
First, it would create a special rate for so-called
pass-through corporations, which, if not done care-
fully, could open a massive loophole in the tax code,
leading to widespread tax avoidance among finan-
ciers, lawyers and people who can pay for savvy tax
advice.
Second, the plan would eliminate the alternative
minimum tax, which prevents wealthy people from
ducking their tax bills. Mr. Trumps leaked 2005 tax
return showed he paid a hefty bill because of the
alternative minimum tax a decade ago.
Third, the plan would end the estate tax, which
would be a brazen giveaway to wealthy heirs. Only
the richest of estates are subject to the tax, yet
cutting it would blow a big hole in public finances.

and tactics with each other: clamping shut over-
seas-based nongovernmental organizations, warn-
ing of foreign agents lurking around every tree,
smothering free speech online. Mr. Aliyev may have
been reading up on Chinas experience snatching
dissidents across frontiers with impunity. Mr. Ali-
yev is so well practiced in the illiberal toolkit that
for all we know, he may be teaching the dictator-
ship seminar himself these days. Sadly, the classes
are full.
Another reason this affair stinks is the murky role
In fact, any assessment of the economic impact of
higher wages would be worth little if it did not
somehow address the impact on businesses and
their likely response. Economists at the University of
Washington concluded recently that job losses and
reduced hours cost low-income workers in Seattle an
average of $125 a month after the city started
phasing in a $15 minimum. Why would Montgomery
fare better?
Despite the warnings, some Montgomery politi-
cians are willing to gamble on job losses, especially
as the political heat intensifies ahead of next years
elections for council and county executive.
County Executive Isiah Leggett (D), who vetoed a
$15 wage bill in January, now fears that slightly
revised legislation may pass with a veto-proof
majority. The revised bill, again sponsored by
at-large council member Marc Elrich, who is
running for county executive, would give small
businesses those with fewer than 26 workers
two extra years (until 2022) to comply; bigger firms
booked. I drove to Atlanta.
I did not make that decision lightly.
My departure never put students in danger. I
made sure essential staff were in place. We had
clear communication channels and were in con-
stant contact.
Although I do not believe my actions warranted
termination, that is Ms. Genshafts decision. During
my tenure, USFSP introduced new majors and
minors, improved rankings, secured the largest
private gifts in school history and established its
first named college. I am privileged for my time at
the university. We made extraordinary progress,
and I am grateful for all those I have met and all I
have learned along the way.
Sophia Wisniewska, St. Petersburg, Fla.
The plan would do this while promising uncertain
benefits to ordinary people who work for a living. In
a time of extreme wealth inequality, this is the last
thing Congress needs to do.
And Republicans are not going to pay for these
giveaways to the rich, which means future workers
will pick up the tab. They have promised to raise
money by cutting tax deductions, but they have been
more specific about the deductions they would keep
than the ones they would eliminate. Theyve done
none of the hard work, in other words. Meanwhile,
they admit they are unwilling to fully pay for the tax
cuts they want, so they are giving themselves
permission to cut up to $1.5 trillion in taxes without
any offsets at all, arguing that a spurt of economic
growth would make up for much of the lost revenue.
This is tax reform, in other words, for dishonest
political cowards. It is not a legacy that members of
Congress should want to leave to their children.

Labor unions, whose clout in the county is
considerable, are pressing hard for the higher
minimum, which would be the first of that amount
in any suburban locality in the United States. No
doubt it would be a boon for some minimum-wage
workers, who fill about 1 in 5 private-sector jobs in
the county and struggle with the countys high cost
of living. But the trade-off the potential loss of
20,000 or more jobs would disproportionately
hurt youth and minority workers.
Mr. Leggett, on the verge of retirement and intent
on protecting the county from job loss, would
postpone implementation for large businesses until
2022 and give small businesses which hed define
more broadly, at fewer than 51 employees until
2024 to comply. That would provide the vast majori-
ty of county firms a seven-year phase-in. Council
members should take Mr. Leggetts sound advice and
resist the populist fervor that would put county jobs
at risk.

Where was the plan for Puerto Rico?
Regarding the Sept. 26 front-page article White
House feels the heat over Maria response:
We have 100,000 or so uniformed soldiers on
military bases in the United States. Why cant we
have a military-type response to remove trees, open
roads, and restore power and potable water in
Puerto Rico a Berlin Airlift-type operation for the
islands immediate needs?
Why isnt this plan permanently in place to react
to emergencies across this country? Or why dont
we just evacuate the island and let Wall Street
figure out how to get its money back?
Keith Foucher, Allentown, Pa.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure. A contingency plan that was worked out years
ago in case of a devastating hurricane in Puerto
Rico would have been worth a ton of words on how
to deal with the territorys current critical situation.
Miami is about 1,000 air miles from San Juan,
and were still tut-tutting about how to help these
Americans recover [Rebuilding Puerto Rico, edi-
The Federal Emergency Management Agency
should have developed a rock-solid what-if plan for
Puerto Rico, as hurricanes occur every year in the
Atlantic Ocean. Better to have a plan and not have
to use it than not have a plan that could forestall
unnecessary deaths of Americans.
If he wanted to, President Trump could immedi-
ately visit the devastated island. Words dont help
people in dire need.

An excellent speech on speech
I heard Attorney General Jeff Sessionss speech
at the Georgetown University Law Center on the
radio, and I thought it was excellent [Sessions
criticizes free-speech policies, Metro, Sept. 27]. He
reminded us that in a democracy, all points of view
may be expressed and that civil debate of ideas is
the business of colleges and universities. Quoting
Thomas Jefferson on the importance of free speech,
he deplored the banning of disfavored speech on
campus and student protests preventing people
from speaking. The speech was a very good
expression of the ideals of our Constitution.
Susan Cochran, Edgewater
It was disingenuous for Molly Roberts to
suggest moral equivalence regarding Georgetowns
sneaky efforts to rein in protest speech so
Attorney General Jeff Sessions could speak [The
sneaky way to shut down free speech, PostPartisan,
Sept. 27]. The overwhelming problem on many U.S.
campuses is censorship from the left of anyone who
challenges their views. Ms. Roberts employed one
of the sneaky rhetorical tricks from the left:
drawing moral equivalence based on an anecdote
or two and ignoring the real scope of the problem.
Moral reasoning requires a sense of proportion.
Thomas OHare, Charlestown, R.I.
Leave these rules alone
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Rosss Sept. 22
op-ed, NAFTAs rules of origin are killing American
jobs, is a textbook example of the expression cant
see the forest for the trees. A focus on bilateral trade
balances or content requirements obscures a much
larger and more important picture.
In the case of the North American Free Trade
Agreement, more than 1 million more vehicles were
year before NAFTA. Since NAFTA, U.S.-built auto
exports have doubled and auto plants have been
built in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi and
South Carolina. Existing plants in Indiana, Kansas,
Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio have ex-
panded, and more are planned.
Within the past month, Toyota and Mazda
announced plans to build a U.S. assembly plant
while BMW, Ford, Honda, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo
Cars announced major expansions of their existing
U.S. plants. In addition, GM has invested almost
$3 billion in the past year and FCA US, the American
subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, has made
new U.S. investment commitments of more than
$9.6 billion.
This is the more important story that needs to be
told. NAFTA, by encouraging open trade and
investment, has been key to keeping the U.S. auto
industry competitive. The United States leads the
world in innovation because its so open and
competitive.
Mr. Rosss proposed NAFTA rules-of-origin
changes would jeopardize the U.S. auto industry and
the 7 million jobs the sector supports.
The United States will get lost in the forest if we
focus on trade balances or content rules.

The oath is to the Constitution
As The Post reported, in a speech to the National
Petroleum Council on Monday, Interior Secretary
Ryan Zinke claimed that nearly a third of his staff is
disloyal to President Trump [Interior secretary
says 30% of staff is not loyal to Trump, PowerPost,
Sept. 27]. As a member of the civil service at the
Interior Departments Bureau of Land Manage-
ment, Id suggest Mr. Zinke needs a lesson in civics.
In Nazi Germany the civil service pledged personal
loyalty and obedience to Adolf Hitler. This is not the
way of a free society.
When I joined the Interior Department in 2002, I
took an oath to support and defend the Constitu-
tion of the United States against all enemies, foreign
and domestic and to well and faithfully discharge
the duties of the office on which I am about to
enter.
To the best of my ability I have done so, in
Republican and Democratic administrations.
In the federal civil service, our ultimate alle-
giance is to the Constitution and the American
people. We should support the goals of each
administration, but we do so within the framework
of existing laws, regulations and judicial decisions.
Civil servants have a responsibility to offer objective
information and impartial advice, not blind loyalty.

Making anti-globalism
great again
I
t was a scene that could only have
taken place in the globalized, inter-
connected, multicultural world
that we now inhabit: Nigel Farage
a former British stockbroker, a Brexit
campaigner, a wearer of pinstripe suits,
a denizen of elite London eating estab-
lishments appeared onstage this
week in Fairhope, Ala., campaigning
for former judge Roy Moore. He didnt
argue that Moore, who was tossed off
the Alabama Supreme Court for disre-
garding the law, would actually be good
for the people of Alabama. He didnt
have much to say about the Alabama
economy or Alabamas particular prob-
lems. Instead, he called on Alabama
voters to support Moore because its
important for the whole global move-
ment across the West that we have built
up and we have fought for.
Sacrifice your own interests for
those of the movement! Ignore local
issues in the name of an international
cause! If you had closed your eyes and
silenced the country music playing in
the background, it could have been a
Marxist rally from yesteryear. Farage
denounced big banks and multina-
tional corporations. He condemned
the enemy within a turn of phrase
used frequently and famously by Stalin
himself by which he meant the es-
tablishment Republicans, i.e., Ameri-
cas elected legislators, who are said to
be impeding the international revolu-
tion. In the face of these parasites and
saboteurs, he called upon the global
movement of anti-globalists to reju-
venate the movement and to make
anti-globalism great again, just like it
was back in the good old days of 2016.
It was a weird moment, not least
because there arent any pro-
globalists to fight back. Globalism is
a fiction invented by Stephen K. Ban-
non, Breitbart News and a host of
Internet trolls, both amateur and pro-
fessional, and promoted on social me-
dia. Its a phantasm that, like Islam
(or, for that matter, the international
Jewish conspiracy), makes a good en-
emy and helps unite people as different
as Farage, Moore, the citizens of
Fairhope and the people of Sunderland,
at least in cyberspace. But anti-global-
ism, otherwise known as nationalism,
populism or sometimes fascism, is real.
In fact, the movement Ive also called
the Populist International appears to
be growing in both strength and stu-
pidity.
Look, for example, at the reactions of
the international anti-globalists to the
MICHAEL GERSON
Roy Moores zealotry
S
o the systematic confirmation
of toxic GOP stereotypes con-
tinues. Nativism? Build that
wall. Misogyny? Grab that . . .
woman. Racial bias? Equivocate about
white supremacists. Religious intoler-
ance? Enter Roy Moore, likely to be the
next senator from Alabama.
Moores victory over a more main-
stream candidate in Alabamas Senate
primary has far-reaching political im-
plications. It demonstrates that anti-
establishment populism is still on an
upswing among GOP primary voters
(at least in the most conservative
places). Even President Trump could
not channel it to his favored candi-
date, incumbent Sen. Luther Strange.
And this is likely to intimidate gutless
Republicans everywhere.
But Moore represents a peculiar
challenge to the GOP future. He holds
to a particularly rigorous vision of a
Christian America, ultimately ruled
and legitimated by biblical law. In
his conception, the freedom of reli-
gion in the First Amendment is limit-
ed to the Christian (and presumably
Jewish) version of the creator God. So
the protections of the Constitution do
not extend to, say, Buddhism and
Islam. Buddha didnt create us, ex-
plains Moore. Muhammad didnt cre-
ate us. Its the God of the Holy Scrip-
tures.
The absurdity of this claim is just
stunning. Moore is contending that
when the First Amendment says,
Congress shall make no law respect-
ing an establishment of religion, the
document was actually intending to
establish a religion. This indicates a
type of zealotry willing to call night
day and day night.
Moores conception of the supreme
law of the universe seems particularly
focused on the sex lives of American
citizens. Rather than motivating a
passion for racial justice, or a mission
of prison reform, or a fight against
global poverty, Moores law would
punish homosexuality and defy the
Supreme Court on same-sex marriage.
His enthusiasm for imposing his con-
ception of Christian law is only
matched by his fear that sharia law is
being imposed in Illinois, Indiana
up there. I dont know.
Some of the arguments against
Moores view of a Christian America
are prudential. Over time at least
since Calvins Geneva and Cromwells
England Christians have learned
that too close a relationship between
church and state is highly damaging
to both. Associating the reputation of
the Christian gospel with the fortunes
better-than-expected 13 percent result
for the Alternative for Germany (AfD)
party, the German nationalist party, in
last weeks German parliamentary
elections. For most Europeans, 13 per-
cent support for a party whose co-
founder wants to revive pride in Ger-
manys Nazi past is at very least an
unwelcome result. But not for Marine
Le Pen, the leader of Frances National
Front France being a country that
knows a lot about the evil impact of
German nationalism in the past: She
congratulated our AfD allies for their
historic showing. Weirder still, voices
congratulating the AfD were found on
the nationalist right in Poland, a coun-
try utterly devastated by German na-
tionalism in the past. Even in Britain, a
country that has practically fetishized
its role in the war against Nazi Ger-
many, quite a few loud voices were
found in support. Farage, for example,
praised the AfD for its historic
achievement; just before his trip to
Alabama, he went to Germany to sup-
port one of its candidates, too.
Behind these public performances,
the international anti-globalist move-
ment, like its Marxist precursors, has
some less visible propaganda arms.
Just as the Comintern ran disinforma-
tion campaigns on behalf of the Soviet
Union, the informal alt-right coalition
now runs social media campaigns for
the Populist International. In both the
French and German election cam-
paigns, the international alt-right post-
ed, tweeted, memed and trolled its
support for its candidates. Alongside
their Russian comrades its not easy
to distinguish Russian and alt-right
trolls and bots, because they use the
same kind of language the global
anti-globalists helped the AfD domi-
nate German Twitter. Hard to say how
much it matters, but in some elections,
where a couple of percentage points
can make an enormous difference, of
course it could matter quite a lot.
The bigger question is when the
penny will drop; that is, when will loud
French or Polish nationalists begin to
ask themselves whether equally loud
German nationalism is actually good
for their country, and when will the
good people of Alabama start to won-
der whether Farage and Bannon really
have their interests at heart? The prec-
edents arent good: The international
Marxist movement lasted for more
than a century, so we may have a while
to wait.

of any politician or movement is
bound to dishonor sacred things. As-
sociating the Christian gospel with the
political priorities of Roy Moore
would be foolishness compounded by
heresy.
Disestablishment, pluralism and
democracy are good for religious be-
lievers and, not incidentally, for
everyone else. I am a democrat, said
C.S. Lewis, because I believe that no
man or group of men is good enough
to be trusted with uncontrolled power
over others. And the higher the pre-
tensions of such power, the more
dangerous I think it both to the rulers
and to the subjects. Hence theocracy is
the worst of all governments. If we
must have a tyrant, a robber baron is
far better than an inquisitor. The
barons cruelty may sometimes sleep,
his cupidity at some point may be
sated; and since he dimly knows he is
doing wrong he may possibly repent.
But the inquisitor who mistakes his
own cruelty and lust of power and fear
for the voice of heaven will torment us
infinitely because he torments us with
the approval of his own conscience.
It is easy to imagine Moore sleep-
lessly considering American deca-
dence, because his version of biblical er Hugh Hefner, who died Wednesday at 91,
law is ceaselessly violated. It is worth
asking: What is his limiting principle
in enforcing the voice of Heaven? The
Ten Commandments set aside the
Sabbath for rest. Should that be man-
dated? How about Old Testament rec-
ommendations of the death penalty
for adulterers, apostates, blasphemers
and incorrigible children? Why not
enforce the Apostle Pauls admonition
against foolish talk? But that would
leave Moore speechless.
No, Moore is not really a theono-
mist. The boundaries of his worldview,
it turns out, almost exactly coincide
with those of the Breitbart agenda.
Moores study of divine law has led
him, in the end, to the shabby, third-
rate gospel of Stephen K. Bannon.
The strongest objection to Moores
hardness and harshness is theological.
On the consistent evidence of Jesus
ministry, what public attitude did he
condemn the most? He stood against
people who talked constantly of the
law, who thought they were especially
virtuous, who enjoyed scolding peo-
ple, who judged others without ten-
derness and understanding. He was at
constant war with the self-righteous
and took the side of the social outcasts
they condemned.
Now we see the return of the Phari-
see.

President Trump speaks at a rally in Huntsville, Ala., last Friday.
JOE SCARBOROUGH
A Trump crowd
shows its ugly side
W
ho are you? Ive got to say
that I really dont know
anymore. Its kind of a
strange turn of events
since we went to the same public
schools across the Deep South, then
attended the same state colleges,
cheering wildly on Saturdays for our
favorite SEC teams, and spent Sun-
day mornings together in the same
Southern Baptist pews. We even went
to Training Union on Sunday nights.
Remember how our conversations
always seemed to turn to politics?
How we criticized Bill Clinton for
playing so fast and loose with the
truth? And how shamefully Demo-
crats turned a blind eye to his fabrica-
tions and outright lies? Man, how
could those Democrats sleep at
night?
And what about how the guy we
voted for, George W. Bush, running
up the federal debt and launching
ill-planned foreign adventures over-
seas? We swore that the next time
Republicans got in power, we would
pressure them to cut spending, at-
tack the debt and put Americas
foreign policy on a restrained and
reasonable path. After Bush, we grew
enraged by President Barack
Obamas efforts to reorder one-sixth
of our economy on a straight party-
line health-care vote. How reckless
was that!
You and I always agreed that
Washington Democrats and Republi-
cans were cut from the same cloth,
and that we needed to keep both
sides honest. We were united by the
shared belief that politicians must
put country above party, right?
Right?
What happened to you?
The guys I came up with in Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi and north-
west Florida for more than 40 years
would never boo a former American
prisoner of war especially one who
refused to return home until the
enemy released every one of his
buddies in the prison camp. South-
ern guys like us loved that leave no
man behind ethos when John
Wayne or Sylvester Stallone exhibit-
ed it on movie screens. So why would
you even think of booing a man, now
ACT FOUR
Excerpted from washingtonpost.com/news/act-four
Hugh Hefners uneven
sexual-liberation legacy
On some major social issues, Playboy found-
was early to take what are today mainstream
progressive stances. As my Post colleague
Derek Hawkins noted, Hefner was an early
and avid defender of gay rights, arguing that
sexual liberation had to include gay people,
too, for it to be meaningful. The same
instincts led Hefner to publish extensive
coverage of the emerging AIDS epidemic,
recognizing that a sexually transmitted dis-
ease had no sexual orientation.
Hefner threw racially integrated parties in
decades when it was not always popular to
do so. Playboy picked its first black Playmate
in 1965. His magazine helped jump-start
writer Alex Haleys career, including impor-
tant interviews with Malcolm X and the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. And Playboy and
Hefner backed reproductive rights, the
Equal Rights Amendment for women and
the Kinsey Institutes research into sex.
Of course, these are the parts of Hefners
sexual revolution that fit neatly together. If
its important to you to be able to have sex
with large numbers of women without
necessarily entering a long-term monoga-
mous relationship, then of course its in your
interest that women be economically inde-
pendent enough not to rely on a spouse. If
you want to be able to have a lot of sex
without having a family, then its critical that
you and your partners have access to contra-
ception and the ability to legally and safely
terminate any unwanted pregnancy. If you
want to do all of these things while maintain-
ing your health and without people thinking
RE
fighting for his life, who showed that
true grit in real life?
But boo Sen. John McCain (R-
Ariz.) you did, at the behest of Presi-
dent Trump during a rally in Ala-
bama last week.
Mike Allen of Axios further report-
ed this week that Trump has been
physically mocking the thumbs-
down gesture McCain used to deliver
the deciding vote against the Repub-
lican health-care bill in July. Did that
mocking involve an imitation of Mc-
Cains stiff arm movements? In case
you havent read a newspaper in the
45 years since we played on the same
Dixie Youth Baseball team together,
McCain got the hell beaten out of him
by the communists who held him in
the Hanoi Hilton for more than five
years.
At that same time, Trump was
dodging the draft by claiming that
bone spurs stopped him from serving
his country in uniform. And yet this
crippling condition didnt stop the
spoiled Ivy League student from play-
ing football, tennis and golf. After
four draft deferments, Trump gradu-
ated from the University of Pennsyl-
vania in 1968 on the same day 40 U.S.
servicemen were killed in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, McCain continued re-
ceiving the beatings that would for-
ever leave him incapable of lifting his
arms over his head. He kept enduring
torture because he refused to leave
his band of brothers behind.
Do you have that kind of charac-
ter? If you booed McCain at last
weeks rally, dont bother answering.
Someone has obviously failed you in
your life; you probably need to spend
some time figuring out who that was.
And if you still go to church, you may
also want to pray for all those around
you who put tribal politics ahead of
basic humanity.
Then maybe you should drive
home and tell your children the story
of John McCains sacrifice. If you can
teach your children that lesson of
heroism, theres a chance they might
grow up to have more character than
the president you now praise.
And perhaps there just may be
hope for our country.
joe.washpost@gmail.com
that theres something wrong with you, then
prompt medical responses to sexually trans-
mitted disease outbreaks and research into
human sexuality that normalizes previously
stigmatized behavior are obviously to your
advantage. And if, above all, you venerate the
pursuit of a good time, why wouldnt you
want to party with, talk to, be entertained by
and read writing by the most interesting,
talented people around, regardless of their
race, sexual orientation or gender identity?
But not every tension inherent in sexual
liberation is so easily resolved. Hefner may
have advocated womens equality and inde-
pendence in the political sphere, but that
ideal state of affairs never arrived in Hefners
lifetime. And Hefners own relationships
were not necessarily defined by an equal
balance of power.
In his own pajama-clad way, Hefner
raised the question of whether sexual libera-
tion benefited men more than women. Its
an uneasy doubt that lingers around every-
thing from contemporary debates about
slut-shaming to discussions of partying
and sexual assault on college campuses.
Even if women could participate in the
sexual revolution with as much physical
safety and reputational security as men, our
gender politics are such that the power that
comes from sexual expression still accrues
differently to men and women. Im not sure
appearing as a Playboy centerfold ever did
as much for a woman as the Playboy brand
itself did for Hefner: A woman can gain
from being gorgeous, but she doesnt always
gain as much as the man who sleeps with
her, marries her or claims to have discovered
her.

The athlete
as agent
of change
BY L ONNIE B UNCH
AND D AVID S KORTON
A
n athlete silently protests
during the national anthem.
People respond with taunts
of traitor, youre a dis-
grace and leave our country! Are
these angry tweets aimed at National
Football League players kneeling dur-
ing the national anthem? Or heated
rhetoric about National Basketball
Association players not visiting the
White House? No, it is invective that
was hurled at Toni Smith, the then-
21-year-old senior guard on the Man-
hattanville College womens basket-
ball team, who expressed her opposi-
tion to the Iraq War in 2003 by turn-
ing her back on the flag.
The history of protest in sports,
much like that across society, holds
many lessons for us that we can apply
to the rancor that currently engulfs
the nation. Sport has always been a
canvas used to challenge convention,
prove the worthiness of a marginal-
ized group and prod the nation to live
up to its stated ideals.
From John Carlos and Tommie
Smith raising their fists atop the podi-
um at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics
to Colin Kaepernick taking a knee to
highlight police brutality, dissent is as
much a part of sports as it is a part of
our democratic tradition. Athletes
have used their fame as a platform to
address injustice: Billie Jean King ad-
vocated for Title IX to bring about
more gender equality in college ath-
letics; the Phoenix Suns wore
Spanish-language versions of their
jerseys to protest racial-profiling
laws; Muhammad Ali refused to par-
ticipate in the Vietnam War.
If we are to move past reactionary
anger, we must acknowledge the fact
that the American experience differs
among people and groups. Nothing
brings that home quite like seeing a
display of Jackie Robinson, a hero for
breaking the Major League Baseball
color barrier, and finding out that he,
too, saw the flag in a different light
due to the racism he faced every day.
As he wrote in his 1972 autobiogra-
phy: I cannot stand and sing the
anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I
know that I am a black man in a white
world.
Robinson and many other athletes
have played critical roles in enabling
social change that has created a more
inclusive society, often at great risk to
their careers. Any suggestion that ath-
letes should stick to sports dimin-
ishes their courage and ignores the
deeply held tradition of dissent that
separates liberal democracies from
authoritarian states.
Our nation has always struggled to
equally apply the ideals embodied in
our Constitution and the Bill of
Rights. Although the United States is
steeped in the principles of individual
liberty, freedom of expression and
democracy, people of color, immi-
grants and women have struggled to
receive the full benefits of citizenship.
And the struggle to perfect our union
continues. Admitting to our imper-
fection is not a weakness, nor is it
unpatriotic.
As Toni Smith said in a statement
following the uproar over her protest:
It is my right as an American to stand
for my beliefs the way others have
done against me. Being patriotic can-
not simply be an empty slogan. Patrio-
tism can be shown in many ways, but
those who choose to do so by saluting
the flag should recognize that the
American flag stands for individuali-
ty and freedom.
To many who profoundly love the
United States, protest is one of the
highest forms of patriotism. The need
to form a more perfect Union is
enshrined in the preamble to the Con-
stitution. The framers knew that the
only way to improve our democratic
republic is to continuously assess it
and work to make it better through
principled dissent and vigorous de-
bate, and that happens regardless of
whether the debate emanates from
the halls of Congress or a football
stadium. Increasingly, though, many
of us seem to be ignoring the lessons
that history has to offer.
Museums and other cultural insti-
tutions are a potential solution for
this. Sport is a powerful way to do so
because it resonates with people; pas-
sion for a team is often passed down
from generation to generation. When
we display Tommie Smiths warm-up
suit and explain why he and Carlos
raised their fists at the Olympics and
the costs they incurred by doing so,
generations of people who werent yet
born can see both the progress made
and the unfinished work ahead of us.
In some ways, sports are conducted
on the ultimate level playing field, a
meritocracy where ability outweighs
backgrounds, beliefs, race and reli-
gion. Athletes have unique insight
into working toward a goal and look-
ing past individual glory for the great-
er good. As such, they have something
profound to say about our nation, our
freedoms and who we aspire to be. We
should listen.

Cause of
students
death still
a mystery
Coroner in Ohio unable
to explain loss of oxygen
to Otto Warmbiers brain
BY S USAN S VRLUGA
A coroner could not determine
what caused Otto Warmbier, the
University of Virginia student
who was imprisoned in North
Korea, to suffer a dangerous loss
of oxygen to his brain, according
to a report released this week.
Warmbier returned to the
United States in June after being
in a coma for more than a year.
The coroner in Hamilton County,
Ohio, performed high-tech medi-
cal imaging tests and a physical
examination of Warmbiers body.
At some point more than a year
ago, Warmbiers brain was
starved of oxygen, but many
causes could explain that, and the
report from the Hamilton County
coroner could not point to a
definitive cause.
Im not denying that he was
tortured, the coroner, Lakshmi
Kode Sammarco, said. I dont
know that he was tortured or not
tortured.
We didnt have physical evi-
dence of torture other than the
anoxic encephalopathy in the
brain and the inexplicable scar
on the top of the foot, she said,
using the medical term to de-
scribe oxygen deprivation in the
brain.
Warmbiers death the loss of
a young, scholarly, adventurous,
much-loved University of Vir-
ginia student touched off
mourning, outrage and height-
ened tensions between the Unit-
ed States and North Korea this
summer. It also led to many
questions, most of which remain
unanswered.
North Korea again denied
Thursday that Warmbier was tor-
tured, despite what his parents
and President Trump have said in
recent days.
The students parents, Fred
and Cindy Warmbier, did not
immediately respond to mes-
sages seeking comment, but ear-

Yes, Stave is relieved that his
family will be free after decades
of harassment, but the decision
was also driven by the declining
demand for abortion and the
soaring cost of security.

Although Stave vehemently
supports a womans right to
choose and felt conflicted about
selling the clinic, its still a
business, he said. And a
business has to make money.
The abortion rate has fallen
to its lowest level since the 1973
Supreme Court decision in Roe

Guttmacher Institute.
The number of abortions they
performed every week? It can
be counted on one hand, Stave
said.
Between the high cost of an
elaborate security system to
protect a clinic bombarded with
death threats and its constant
legal fees (which reached six
figures last year), they simply
couldnt keep the clinic afloat,
he said.
When Guttmacher reported
earlier this year that abortions
had fallen by more than half
nationwide, conservatives
patted themselves on the back
for the restrictive state laws

like door width and parking

The brief statement from a
federal appeals court in Washing-
ton is the latest setback for the
Districts efforts to restrict the
carrying of guns in public places
to people who demonstrate a
good reason to do so.
The Districts top lawyer had

The citys permitting system
had remained in effect while the
appeal to the full court was under

meant the District still was able
to bar most residents from carry-

Bellwether Pr. William a battleground for Virginia House
CANDIDATES FROM B1
In recent election cycles,
Prince William has shifted from
mostly white, rural and reliably
Republican to diverse, developed
and swingy an example of a
changing Virginia. The county
voted for George W. Bush twice,
then swung to Barack Obama,
voting for him twice, and Hillary
Clinton last year. It voted for
Republican Robert F. McDonnell
for governor in 2009, then swung
to Terry McAuliffe four years lat-
er.
This election, a diverse Demo-
cratic slate is hoping to take
advantage of those demographic
and political shifts to challenge
longtime, white male GOP in-
cumbents in state legislative dis-
tricts carried by Hillary Clinton
last November.
They include a transgender
woman taking on one of the
legislatures most conservative
culture warriors, a Latina chal-
lenging a retired soldier, and one
of the first black female graduates
of Virginia Military Institute run-
ning against a local GOP activist
and military contractor for an
open seat.
In addition, Lee Carter, a white
Marine Corps veteran who fits the
more traditional Democratic-
candidate mold, is challenging
GOP House Majority Whip Jack-
son Miller, who just months ago
lost a special election in Prince
William in an upset seen as a
wake-up call for Republicans.
Some say the Democratic Par-
tys best hope for resurgence lies
in changing suburbs such as
Prince William County.
The center of gravity, so far,
for Democrats in 2018 is subur-
ban districts with voters turned
off by Trump and embracing the
changes and diversity in their
community, said Jesse Ferguson,
a Democratic strategist with deep
ties to Virginia.
For some, the historic nature of
their candidacies is bringing na-
tional attention and dollars.
Danica Roem, who would be
the first openly transgender per-
son elected to the Virginia legisla-
ture, has raised more than
$374,000, roughly four times as
much as her Republican oppo-
nent, Del Robert G. Marshall.
The Latino Victory Fund has
endorsed Ayala, whose father was
an immigrant from El Salvador,
and Elizabeth Guzman, an immi-
grant from Peru, to become the
first Latinas elected to the legisla-
ture.
Both raised in the range of
$150,000 in July and August, near
the top of the list for House
candidates.
But success is by no means a
given.
Democrats face challenges in-
cluding redistricting that has di-
luted the Democratic vote, in
addition to well-established Re-
publicans who wield the power of
incumbency. And voter turnout
in Virginias gubernatorial con-
tests usually plummets from the
preceding presidential year a
phenomenon that tends to favor
Republicans.
They have greater name rec-
ognition, greater ability to fund-
raise, and they have connections
built over years of constituent
services, said Stephen Farns-

University of Mary Washington.

Safeway, residents reach deal on alcohol sales THE DISTRICT

Dupont neighbors
Food Not Booze protest
led to a compromise
BY P ERRY S TEIN
While a divided Congress
fought over health care and tax
reform, a battle in a divided
neighborhood in the nations
capital was being waged with
campaign-style yard signs,
packed community meetings
and the pithy slogan Food Not
Booze.
The quarrel was over a liquor
license at a Safeway grocery store
on 17th Street NW that residents
have long dubbed the Soviet
Safeway because of its reputa-
tion for long lines and empty
shelves.
The Dupont Circle grocery
store and community leaders
reached a settlement late Tues-
day allowing Safeway to receive a
liquor license on restricted
terms, but the drawn-out debate
resurfaced old questions in a
fast-changing city about the level
of input residents should have in
the operations of a private busi-
ness.
And the resistance, residents
say, was never just about the
booze.
The grocery store applied for a
liquor license earlier this year,
but residents argued it would
bring competition to locally
owned businesses. They also op-
posed alcohol taking coveted
shelf space that could be used for
food at a cramped store.
The ANC [Advisory Neigh-
borhood Commission] has dug
their heels and they will not
acknowledge what the people
want, said Nick DelleDonne,
who serves on the ANC, which
narrowly voted to protest the
liquor license on a 4 to 3 vote.
And why is that? I think they are
biased toward corporations.
But then, of course, some say
there is the issue of capitalism:
Was it really the ANCs role to tell
a private company what it can or
cannot sell?
We live in a free society and
businesses can operate as they
choose, said Scott Davies, an
ANC commissioner who didnt
oppose the liquor license.
A neighborhood association, a
nearby liquor store and a parent
group from an elementary school
organized opposition to the li-
quor license.
Receiving a liquor license is a
multistep, bureaucratic process.
First, a company must apply
with the citys Alcoholic Bever-
age Regulation Administration.
The administration determines
whether the establishment
meets qualifications and publicly
posts the application, giving a
deadline for the community to
protest the application.
If the local ANC or neighbor-
hood association decides to pro-
test and the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board determines
that the protest has standing
the parties enter into a media-
tion phase. If they cant reach a
settlement, the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board hears argu-
ments and decides whether to
issue the license.
In the Safeway settlement,
which still needs final approval
from the control board, the busi-
ness agreed to limit beer and
wine sales to 4 percent of annual
revenue. The grocery store had
wanted more than 80 feet of shelf
space dedicated to beer and alco-
hol but agreed to half that. The
location is open until midnight,
but it agreed to stop selling
alcohol at 9 p.m.
The store also agreed not to
promote alcohol through in-
store displays and said it would
develop a plan showing how it
would contribute to the commu-
nity.
Safeway spokeswoman Steph-
anie Maxwell Ridor described
the agreement as amicable.
Part of the community con-
cern was that we would remove
food items, and we do not antici-
pate that any items will be dis-
placed that are in constant de-
mand, Ridor wrote in an email.
The agreement with the ANC is
similar to our other stores and
we will abide by the terms of our
commitment.
Residents who protested the
liquor license were lukewarm to
the agreement but said the terms
seemed promising.
Were going to have a party to
celebrate what people can do
when they come together, said
Robin Diener, president of the
Dupont Circle Citizens Associa-
tion. We didnt have a complete
win, but we did help mitigate the
negative effects of a large foot-
print.
Barbara Donaldson, who
spearheaded the opposition of
parents from nearby Ross El-
ementary School, said Safeway
agreed that checkout lines
wouldnt snake through the alco-
hol aisle. She said her children
often go to the grocery store by
themselves and she wants to
ensure a robust selection of
healthy foods is offered.
The settlement could bring an
end to a months-long fiery and
sometimes nasty battle. In
August, hundreds of people
packed into a community meet-
ing about the liquor licenses,
many wearing matching shirts
that said Food Not Booze at
Safeway. Residents planted
signs in their yards with the
same slogan. Fliers linked the
owner of Safeway to President
Trump and gun manufacturing.
DelleDonne received an offi-
cial reprimand from the commis-
sion for disrespectfully commu-
nicating with other ANC offi-
cials, according to the commis-
sions resolution on the matter.
He said those claims were un-
true, and he only took a strong,
opinionated stance because
thats what his constituents
wanted.
I intend to represent my con-
stituents aggressively, he said. I
think we have woken up the
community to the decisions that
are made on their behalf.

a man in the parking lot of a
7-Eleven store in Southwest
Washington, according to D.C.

Martell Antonio Hall of
Southeast Washington was
arrested Wednesday. He is charged
with killing David Thomas Neal,
31, also of Southeast, about
9:30 p.m. at the convenience store
in the 3900 block of Martin Luther
King Jr. Avenue SW.
An arrest affidavit said the
suspect entered the store and told
people that free marijuana was
being given away outside. Police
said Neal followed the man out
and the two argued. Neal was
stabbed during the argument,
police said.

A profane message
on roadwork sign
Typically electronic roadwork
signs are meant to signal to
drivers that theres construction
or a detour ahead. But one that
was spotted by area residents in
Bethesda had a profane message.
The sign was near Jones Bridge
Road and Connecticut Avenue,
according to neighbors who
posted a photo of the vulgar
sexual message on the
communitys Facebook page.
(Because of the nature of the
message, The Washington Post is
not posting a photo of the sign.)
Ilana Knab of Bethesda said
she saw the sign near Jones
Bridge Road just before 7 p.m.
Wednesday. She said the sign
switched every few seconds from
a warning of delays to the vulgar
message.
Knab laughed when she saw
the sign. Many area residents
suggested that it could be a
statement about the building of
the controversial $2 billion light-
rail Purple Line. Many residents
oppose the 16-mile line that
would run between downtown
Bethesda and Silver Spring.

His father was an obstetrician
and gynecologist who provided
an array of health services for
women. In wasnt until after his
death that the clinic focused
only on abortions, with LeRoy
Carhart renting the space to
become one of Americas few
doctors who very publicly offers
late-term abortions.
Maybe another 10 doctors do
them, too, but they are more
quiet about it, Stave said.
After George Tiller, another
late-term abortion provider, was
murdered in his church on a
Sunday morning in 2009,
Carhart adopted a very
elaborate plan of travel and
communication to deal with the
constant death threats. He flew
from his home in Nebraska to
Maryland weekly to perform
those abortions.
In the past year, the number
of those abortions didnt reach
double digits, Stave said.
The women typically came
from far away. Nearly all of

them were married, often older
and usually already mothers.
And they were told, late in their
pregnancies, that their lives
were in danger, or that the
complications in their
pregnancy were a near
guarantee that a child would not
survive after birth, Stave said.
It was usually a very
agonizing decision. Nobody
wants abortions to begin with.
Thats something the other side
doesnt understand, Stave said.
The reality is that people still
need them.
Because most of the women
were already traveling to the
Maryland clinic from elsewhere,
the Stave family reasoned that
they can also find their way to
the other remaining providers
the public ones in Denver and
Albuquerque, as well as the
underground network of
doctors who do it quietly.
Theres a lot of sadness,
yeah, a feeling that were letting
the public down, Stave said,
days after closing the deal.
Its a tough thing to do.
Theres no question about it,
Stave said. My father started
[the clinic] shortly after Roe v.
Wade was passed. It was one of
the longest, continuously
operating businesses in the
country, and we feel that we

Carhart has vowed hell open

Stave said Carhart is going to
have a hard time finding

All women have to do is

Ocials held in contempt over defendants care

Health secretary is told
to staff units to care for
mentally ill facing trial
BY O VETTA W IGGINS
AND E LLIE S ILVERMAN
Acting Maryland Health Secre-
tary Dennis Schrader and four
other top state officials were held
in contempt of court Thursday by
a Baltimore judge for failing to
increase the number of psychiat-
ric hospital beds available for
mentally ill criminal defendants.
Retired Circuit Court Judge
Gale E. Rasin, who had been
weighing a contempt order since
last year, said the officials had
willfully disregarded past court
orders to provide proper treat-
ment for mentally ill inmates.
She gave Schrader until Dec. 31
to fully staff and admit patients to
a 20-bed unit at Clifton T. Perkins
Hospital Center in Jessup, Spring
Grove Hospital Center in Catons-
ville and a third facility, to be
selected in consultation with the
state director of hospitals, that
would also accommodate 20 in-
mates in need of psychiatric
treatment.
The actions and omissions of
the Department and the respon-
dent officers and agents have
been knowing, intentional and
voluntary, Rasin wrote in a 58-
page opinion.
She slammed the agency for
failing to act despite years of
notice about the problem, inter-
nal recommendations to increase
bed size, admonitions by the judi-
ciary, oversight of the legislature,
civil charges of contempt of court,
and commitments by its own
Secretary.
Schrader said in an interview
that the department has been
working hard to try to reduce the
wait list. It was a little disap-
pointing, he said. This has been
one of my top priorities. We cant
do these things overnight.
The Maryland Public Defend-
ers Office sued the state last year
in an attempt to compel the
officials to transfer mentally ill
defendants into hospital beds,
rather than leaving them in jail
cells.
At the time the lawsuit was
filed, 84 jail inmates were waiting
for beds after being ordered by a
court to get psychiatric treatment
in a hospital. A spokesman for the
department said Thursday that
the current number of inmates
awaiting a bed is 21.
Assistant Public Defender Sha-
ron Bogins Eberhart called Ra-
sins order a victory for her cli-
ents, and any other inmate with a
mental illness.
They tell us theyre going to do
something and its not getting
done and my clients are suffer-
ing, she said. Its promising that
someone has finally held the de-
partments feet to the fire.
Gov. Larry Hogan (R) prom-
ised in 2016 to work very closely
with then-Health Secretary Van
T. Mitchell to reduce the list of
mentally ill inmates awaiting
hospital treatment.
Mitchell called the situation a
crisis and said he planned to

more staff and resources, she
argued, so more inmates can be
admitted.
Last year, Mitchell said he
made a mistake not asking the
state legislature for more money
to provide beds.
The test of a society is how you
treat the less fortunate and the
disabled, and were locking them
up in a jail instead of putting
them in a hospital where they
belong, Eberhart said. Its not
fair to the staff at the jail, and its
not fair to my clients.

Spike in assaults
after city jail closes
Union leaders concerned
over violence at facilities
in Baltimore, statewide
BY M ICHAEL D RESSER
Baltimore Central Booking
and Intake Center, the first insti-
tution people are brought to after
being arrested in the city, has
seen a spike in assaults since Gov.
Larry Hogan (R) closed the city
jail, state statistics show.
Assaults by inmates at Central
Booking, both on staff members
and on other inmates, jumped in
the 12 months that ended
June 30.
Few disputed Hogans decision
to begin shutting down the de-
crepit and dangerous Baltimore
City Detention Center in July
2015 a process completed this
month.
Parts of the state-run facility
were more than 100 years old,
and its obsolete design made it
difficult for officers to monitor
inmate behavior. Its porous secu-
rity invited rampant smuggling
of contraband, and in its final
lems there. He said the transfers
have reduced the vacancy rate to
2 percent.
McLhinney did not agree with
the unions contention vacancies
made the facility less safe.
Were not making the connec-
tion between staffing and as-
saults necessarily, he said.
Central Booking takes in and
processes a range of arrestees
from alleged shoplifters to mur-
der suspects.
Corrections officials say its a
more dangerous combination
than in the state prison system,
where convicted criminals are
classified and sent to institutions
with the appropriate level of
security. As inmates get used to
the prison system and its re-
wards for good behavior, officials
say, they grow less prone to
violence.
That pretrial population is
much more volatile, McLhinney
said. What were seeing there is
more violent individuals.
Department statistics show
prisoners find a wide variety of
ways to assault staff. The most
common attack is punching,
closely followed by spitting and
pushing. Officers were also hit
with crutches, handcuffs and, in DANIEL LIN/HARRISONBURG DAILY NEWS-RECORD/ASSOCIATED PRESS

years the Black Guerrilla Family one case, a broom.

gang virtually ran the institution.
In 2013, federal prosecutors
indicted dozens of corrections
officers, inmates and civilians
outside in a scheme to smuggle
contraband into the facility.
Records show as the jail was
shut down, much of its violence
moved to other facilities.
Leaders of the union that rep-
resents officers at Central Book-
ing say the institution is crowded
with more difficult arrestees,
who previously would have been
housed at the jail. They say
growing staff vacancies have
forced officers to work more
overtime, impairing their effi-
ciency.
Gary W. McLhinney, director
of professional standards at the
state Department of Public Safe-
ty and Correctional Services, said
a recent transfer of officers from
the last adult building closed at
the city jail to Central Booking
should help alleviate the prob-
The Magazine
Department Secretary Ste-
phen T. Moyer, who took office in
2015, said Thursday weve creat-
ed safer environments for our
correctional officers.
Records show assaults on de-
partment staff statewide
dropped from 620 in fiscal 2016
to 563 in 2017.
State records, obtained by The
Baltimore Sun through a public
information request, show rising
assaults at Central Booking and
other facilities that have taken on
detainees who would once have
been held in city jail.
There were 82 assaults on staff
members at Central Booking in
fiscal year 2017, a 52 percent
increase over the 54 reported
in 2016.
The pace of assaults on staff at
Central Booking picked up over
the second half of the fiscal year:
There were 55 reported between
January and June. The numbers
peaked at 17 in May more than

any month in the last three years.
Inmate-on-inmate assaults
rose from 196 to 262, a 33 percent
increase. The institution saw an
especially violent stretch early
this year, with 106 assaults on
inmates from January through
March.
The increases were sharper
when compared with fiscal 2015,
which spanned the last seven
months of the OMalley adminis-
tration and the first five under
Hogan. State corrections officials
say comparison is misleading
because the department tight-
ened up its assault reporting
policy early in fiscal 2016.
That could help explain why
inmate-on-inmate assaults at
Central Booking jumped from
16 per 100 average daily popula-
tion in fiscal 2015 to 26.75 in 2016
making it by far the most
violent state-run prison or jail in
Maryland.
The increases in assaults came
even though state records show a
decline in average daily popula-
tion from 794 in fiscal 2015 to 729
in fiscal 2017. Thats an 8 percent
drop, roughly in line with the
drop in the state prison popula-
tion over the same period.
The records provided by the
department show a surge in va-
cancies at Central Booking after
October 2015. That month there
were 21 vacancies, but a year later
there were 50.
They had a mass exodus of
people who were so unhappy
with the administration, said
Lisa Speight, president of AFSC-
ME Local 3737, which represents
officers at Central Booking.
Theyre running people off with
their bad performance and bad
management.
Speight said Central Booking
became more dangerous after the
city jail was closed.
Speight said the fifth floor of
Central Booking, which had
housed only male prisoners, was
converted to a dormitory for
women. She said mentally ill
women, who formerly had their
own unit in the Womens Deten-
tion Center, were mixed in with
the general population on that
floor.
Charles Weiner, an assistant
public defender who works at
Central Booking, said his clients
tell him mixing all the women
there has led to less privacy and
more confrontations.
I suspect that until they are
more appropriately quartered,
the women will face a higher risk
of encountering trouble, he said.
Although additional staff might
help control behavior and add a
measure of safety, it wont pro-
vide the space, comfort and pri-
vacy that our clients should
have.
The public safety department
said it had cut vacancies to nine
out of 400 allotted positions as of
July 7. Department spokesman
Gerard Shields said the closure of
the detention centers Jail Indus-
tries building on Aug. 1 allowed
authorities to transfer officers to
Central Booking.
Richard Parker is special assis-
tant for corrections at AFSCME
Council 67, which includes the
union local that represents offi-
cers at Central Booking. He said
he hadnt heard of any influx of
new officers at the facility.
The rate at which theyre
drafting officers has not
changed, he said.
The increase in assaults at
Central Booking in fiscal 2017
came as assaults at the city jail
fell along with its population.
At the jail, assaults on officers
dropped from 70 in 2016 to 36 in
2017. Inmate-on-inmate assaults
dropped 12 percent to 153 as
the average daily population fell
by more than half.
Other facilities that accepted
prisoners from the jail also saw
more violence. The increase was
especially apparent at the Metro-
politan Transition Center a
part of the Baltimore correction-
al complex that handled an addi-
tional 300 pretrial inmates per
day between 2015 and 2017.
Inmate-on-inmate assaults at
the transition center jumped
from 61 in 2016 to 105 in 2017.
Assaults on staff increased from
27 to 34.
Officer Robert Smead has
worked at the center for six years.
When the state closed the jail, he
said, his facility ended up putting
people who had been housed in
cells in 74-bed dormitories.
In some cases, he said, the
dorms end up housing people
from rival gangs. Often, he said,
the facility has to mix people
accused of serious crimes with
those charged with lesser offens-
es.
Steve Geppi, who headed the
departments intelligence unit
until he was ousted in late 2016,
said the sudden closure of the jail
brought problems to the other
institutions.
That shutdown was the most
abrupt, disorganized operation
you can ever imagine, Geppi
said. There was very little
thought put into it. It was a
mess.
Parker said the jail was closed
without clear plans to redistrib-
ute its prisoners. He said many of
the defendants housed in Central
Booking shouldnt be there.
In my view, its a tragedy
waiting to happen, he said. You
cant just have all these condi-
tions that create a perfect storm
without some serious level of
danger coming to fruition.
McLhinney disputed the
charges of disorganization.
Just because people didnt
know about it doesnt mean a lot
of planning wasnt going on, he
said.
He said leaders at Central
Booking are on top of the situa-
tion.
They do a pretty good job of
monitoring the temperature ev-
ery day, McLhinney said. But
its a jail, and nobody detained
there wants to be there.

a day when the Lord is favorable?
No, this is the fast I desire: To

and untie the cords of the yoke. To

ZUZANA RUZICKOVA, 90
Holocaust survivor, eminent musician
BY E MILY L ANGER
Zuzana Ruzickova, a Czech sur-
vivor of the Nazi concentration
camps who rediscovered beauty
in life through the music of J.S.
Bach, a canon to which she dedi-
cated her life as one of the worlds
premier harpsichordists, died
Sept. 27 at a hospital in Prague.
She was 90.
The cause was pneumonia and
exhaustion, said a cousin, Frank
Vogl.
Ms. Ruzickova achieved inter-
national renown as the first solo-
ist in history to record Bachs
complete keyboard works. The
collection, originally made for the
French label Erato from 1965 to
1974, filled 35 records and was
rereleased last year by Warner
Classics in advance of her 90th
birthday.
A documentary about her life,
Zuzana: Music Is Life, directed
by the Bethesda, Md.-based Har-
riet Gordon Getzels and Peter
Getzels, was released earlier this
year.
Ms. Ruzickova trained initially
as a pianist but became best
known as a virtuoso of the harpsi-
chord, a principal instrument for
which Bach composed, and one
whose sound she helped revive in
modern concert halls.
Her devotion to the German
composer, whose life spanned the
17th and 18th centuries, was deep
and almost primal. She said she
had loved his music since she was
an 8-year-old in prewar Czecho-
slovakia and credited Bachs re-
strained intensity with helping
her endure the horrors and mem-
ory of the Holocaust.
In the Baroque perfection of
his preludes, fugues, toccatas and
fantasias, she said, one could find
the order that is not always visible
in the melee of human life.
I needed Bach, Ms. Ruzickova

move ahead expeditiously af-
ter a federal appellate court
recently allowed work to begin
after a year of legal delays.
Even so, Leventhal said, Its
now the states obligation to be
fully transparent, fully commu-
nicative and sympathetic. There
are some real hardships and
inconveniences.
Charles Lattuca, who oversees
the Purple Line for the MTA, said
the project got off to a bit of a
rough start because it faced so
much uncertainty both legal
and financial until late Au-
gust.
He said state officials directed
Purple Line Transit Partners to
close the trail with a seven-day
notice, instead of the 30-day
notice that residents said theyd
been told they would receive, to
try to limit potentially costly
delays once the court allowed
work to start.
Now were playing catch-up,
Lattuca said. Unfortunately, we
regret some people were impact-
ed negatively by the closure of
the trail in its entirety with very
short notice, but we had to make
the decision as to what the
impact on the state was going to
be. It was a tough choice.
In the future, he said, Were
going to adhere to the public
notices that we promised folks,
and I think people will be happi-
er.
He also said community advi-
sory teams made up of neighbor-
hood representatives along the
alignment between Bethesda in
Montgomery and New Carroll-
ton in Prince Georges County
will begin meeting with project
officials in mid-October.
Rob Chappell, chief executive
of Purple Line Transit Partners,
told council members that parts
of the trail cant remain open
during construction, as trail us-
ers have requested, because it
would be unsafe. He said work-
ers are driving trucks and mov-
ing equipment along the trail to
limit their time on local streets.
Chappell said Purple Line
Transit Partners, a team of com-
panies that signed a $5.6 billion
public-private partnership with
the state to build the line over
five to six years and then operate
and maintain it for 30 years, will
work with the community.
Were going to work with the
MTA and the public, Chappell
said after the meeting. Were
going to be here for 35 years, and
well be a good neighbor.

July 1, 1969. She said her
passion for Bach helped her
survive the Holocaust.
told BBC Music Magazine. Un-
like Beethoven, who shakes his
fist at the heavens, Bach could
help me after everything Id been
through. His music is above hu-
man suffering.
Zuzana Ruzickova was born
Jan. 14, 1927, in the Czech city of
Pilsen. Her parents, who were
Jewish, ran a general store and
encouraged her love of music. She
received her first piano lessons as
a gift when she recovered from a
childhood bout of tuberculosis.
Ms. Ruzickova was 12 when the
Germans invaded and occupied
Czechoslovakia. She and her par-

concentration camp-ghetto locat-
ed outside of Prague and also
known as Theresienstadt, where
her father perished.

THE REGION
Metro board chief fears more funding uncertainty
BY F AIZ S IDDIQUI
AND R OBERT M C C ARTNEY
Metro board Chairman Jack
Evans said Thursday that the
jurisdictions that fund the transit
agency will have to increase their
contributions for the coming
budget because theyve been un-
able to reach consensus on a
long-term funding solution.
I fear thats whats going to
happen, Evans said following
Thursdays board meeting.
Evans said Virginias Republi-
can-controlled legislature and
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R)
continue to be roadblocks to ded-
icated funding, even though Vir-
ginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D)
this week pledged to include such
a funding mechanism in his final
budget before leaving office in
December.
Instead of having a long-term
funding plan in place by July
2018, as Metro officials had
hoped, Evans acknowledged its
likely the discussion of dedicated liams (D), who now serves as
funding will have to be revisited
during the 2019 legislative ses-
sions.
Evans praised McAuliffe for
introducing dedicated funding,
even if he wont be able to see the
proposal through after his term
ends.
The Districts on board, so way of raising funding. (D.C. offi-
thats not a problem, Evans said. cials favor a regionwide sales tax,
So it really comes back to Mary-
land [and] whether Governor Ho-
gan will input dedicated funding
in his budget or whether the
legislature on its own will put it
in. And we have no indications
that either of those things will
happen, so that is a real concern.
Metro General Manager Paul J.
Wiedefeld is seeking $15.5 billion
over 10 years to support Metros
safety and maintenance needs,
including $500 million in new,
annual dedicated funding to bol-
ster the agencys capital budget.
Hogan has proposed $2 billion
over four years split evenly
among Maryland, the District,
Virginia and the federal govern-
ment to cover Metros finances
in the short term. But critics,
including D.C. Mayor Muriel E.
Bowser (D), contend the Hogan
proposal falls short of the bond-
able funding source Metro says it
needs by July 2018.
Metro stands alone among
large big-city transit systems in
its lack of a significant source of
dedicated funding, which local
leaders say could be used to
enable long-term borrowing to
address Metros capital needs.
Meanwhile, the board heard
no fewer than three proposals
OBITUARIES
her mother were deported to
Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp
in occupied Poland. Narrowly
avoiding the gas chamber, they
were selected for slave labor in
Hamburg before ultimately being
liberated by the British from
Bergen-Belsen in Germany.
Music, Ms. Ruzickova said, was
her salvation. On the cattle car en
route to Auschwitz, she scribbled
several bars from Bachs English
Suite No. 5 in E minor on a piece
of paper. I wanted to have a piece
of Bach with me as a sort of
talisman because I didnt know
what was awaiting us, she told
the BBC.
In the camps, she sang passag-
es from operas to fellow inmates
as a means of psychological es-
cape.
Upon her return to Czechoslo-
vakia after the war, Ms. Ruzickova
attempted to resume her musical
studies, but slave labor had badly
injured her hands. Her physical
wounds, combined with her emo-
tional ones and her lost years of
study, led teachers to tell her that
she could no longer hope for a
career in music.
But she persisted and received
a scholarship to the Prague music
academy in 1948, her cousin said,
the year communists came to
power in Czechoslovakia. Be-
cause she refused to join the
Communist Party, the academy
declined to award her the doctor-
ate that her cousin said she had
earned.
At the academy she met Viktor
Kalabis, a Czech composer, whom
she married in 1952. Poverty-
stricken, they lived for a time with
her mother in a small apartment
and slept under the piano.
As Ms. Ruzickovas musical tal-
ent blossomed, the Communist
Party government allowed her to
travel for concerts but collected a
large portion of the foreign cur-

systems most pressing issues.
Former D.C. mayor Anthony Wil-
executive director of the Federal
City Council, advocated a stream-
lined Metro board that could
swiftly enact major reforms. An
economist hired by Metros larg-
est union pushed for special tax
districts that would tax property
owners who live near stations as a
core, these problems are inevita-
bly the product of a governance
which has been criticized as re-
gressive.)
And an activist group that
enjoys union support, the Save
Our System coalition, delivered
petitions with 11,000 signatures
demanding a trifecta of rider-
friendly initiatives: flat fares, ex-
panded service and free trans-
fers.
Although Wiedefeld enjoys
broad support among local lead-
ers, he and the board have be-
come targets of resentment from
activists and some everyday rid-
ers, who gave more than 40 min-
utes of testimony on issues such
as the impact of the fare increases
and service cuts instituted in
July.
As they look to right the sys-
tem, regional officials also are
seeking guidance from former
U.S. transportation secretary Ray
LaHood, who is in the midst of a
comprehensive study on how to
overhaul the agency with a
focus on governance due next
month.
Williams, the former mayor,
argued that the combination of
an excessively large board, split
legal duties and frequent turn-
over has prevented the panel

She said her husband persuaded
her to perform in Germany to
show that Hitler had not succeed-
ed in extinguishing German or
European culture where she
won the ARD music competition
in 1956.
The invitation from Erato to
record Bachs keyboard composi-
tions brought her to the attention
of classical music enthusiasts
around the world.
Theres a sense of rightness to
Zuzana Ruzickovas Bach that
transcends fads and fashions and
the deadening impact of scholar-
ly dogma, music writer Rob Cow-
an observed in a 2017 review for
Gramophone.
Some might find it just a mite
too stately, its persistent propen-
sity for shifting colors and regis-
trations intrusive, he continued.
In your face is the appropriate
modern phrase I suppose, but
there isnt a musical face in exis-
tence Id rather confront than
Bachs and I thank Zuzana Ruz-
ickova for this sublime close en-
counter.
Ms. Ruzickova also was widely
noted as an interpreter of Do-
menico Scarlatti, an Italian con-
temporary of Bachs. After the
Velvet Revolution ended commu-
nist rule in Czechoslovakia in
1989, she received a professorship
long denied to her and performed
for the first time in the United
States. She also lectured on her
experiences in the Holocaust, her
cousin said.
Ms. Ruzickovas husband died
in 2006, two years after she re-
tired from the stage. She had no
immediate survivors.
Bach is very soothing, Ms.
Ruzickova told the BBC last year.
You always feel in his music that
God is present somehow. And
that, of course, helps.

in Metros best interests. He said
governance is as big a problem as
a lack of funding.
The problems Metro is facing
today are not simply the result of
chronic disinvestment, said Wil-
liams, who was speaking on be-
half of a coalition of 32 major
business and civic groups from
throughout the region. While
funding is certainly a significant
factor, we believe that at their
burden of paying for Metro from
structure that, as designed, is
fundamentally flawed and natu-
rally leads to short-term think-
ing, which leads to poor out-
comes.
Williams proposed that the
board should be right-sized and
include members who have quali-
fications in transit, management,
finance and safety. Board mem-
bers primary legal responsibility
should be to the overall well-be-
ing of Metro, Williams said, rath-
er than divided between the tran-
sit system and the jurisdictions
that appoint them.
W. Edward Walter, chairman of
the Federal City Council, agreed
with Evans and others that it
appears increasingly likely that
any decision on dedicated fund-
ing will have to wait until legisla-
tive sessions in Maryland and
Virginia in early 2019.
I think we have a concern that
given where we are at this point
in time, and recognizing the
change in Virginia [because of
the November gubernatorial
election], that it may be difficult
to deal with the long-term fund-
ing solution in the spring of next
year, Walter told reporters after
the councils presentation to the
Metro board.
ANNE JEFFREYS, 94
A star for all mediums,
screen, stage or TV
BY A DAM B ERNSTEIN
Anne Jeffreys, a musical thea-
ter performer who became an
enduring presence on TV, star-
ring as the ghostess with the
mostest on the 1950s sitcom
Topper and decades later as a
glamorous grande dame on the
soap opera General Hospital
and its spinoff Port Charles,
died Sept. 27 at her home in Los
Angeles. She was 94.
A son, Jeffreys Sterling, con-
firmed the death but did not cite
an immediate cause.
A lively Southern blonde, Ms.
Jeffreys sang with opera compa-
nies in New York and worked as a
Powers model before film scouts
spotted her in a Hollywood musi-
cal revue. She appeared in low-
budget westerns, thrillers and
jungle pictures, and had a small
role in I Married an Angel
(1942), which marked the final
screen pairing of the popular
operetta team of Jeanette Mac-
Donald and Nelson Eddy.
Ms. Jeffreys went on to vamp
Frank Sinatra in a phone booth
in the musical Step Lively
(1944) and had leading roles
opposite Lawrence Tierney in
Dillinger (1945) as the moll
fatale known as the lady in red
and as the romantic foil to Pat
OBrien in the comedy Riff-Raff
(1947). More often she was rele-
gated to B pictures, including
Zombies on Broadway (1945)
with Bela Lugosi and eight pic-
tures with the perennial western
sidekick George Gabby Hayes.
Hayes was nothing like his
character, she recalled to the
publication Films of the Golden
Age. He traveled in a limo, often
wore a tux and was quite hand-
some. I used to see him out in
clubs in New York City. For those
B5
You may find that the govern-
ance piece has to happen first,
and then there may need to be
some level of funding for a year
and then a longer-term solution
for funding, Walter said.
Asked whether such a delay
would mean Hogans plan de-
serves serious consideration as a
stopgap, Walter said, Some ver-
sion of that might make sense at
least for next year, because we
clearly have a [budget] shortfall
for next year, so were going to
have to solve that shortfall.
Wiedefeld has said the Hogan
plan might be the most realistic
approach to keeping Metros fi-
nances stable, given the political
realities.
But Walter added that Hogans
plan is flawed because it covers
only four years and does not
include dedicated funding,
whereas a long-term, permanent
solution is needed.
As officials debated the pro-
posals, Peter Donohue, an econo-
mist with San Francisco-based
PBI Associates, suggested that
Metros funding could be stabi-
lized through transit assessment
districts, which tax property
owners along the system based
on how transit service boosts
their property value. He argued
that this approach shifts the
poorer families to property own-
ers who benefit from being close
to stations.
The basic notion is the prop-
erty values are enhanced by prox-
imity to transit service, he said.
Those property owners should
pay a [share] proportionate to the
benefit they receive.
The union-backed proposal
would include tax-exempt par-
ties, who cost the District more
than $1 billion in property taxes
annually, according to the pre-
sentation.
Could it realistically gain trac-
tion in an environment where
there are already so many reform
proposals on the table?
Realistically, politics is hardly
a world of realism, Donohue said
later. But I do think that one of
the attractions we have for our
proposal is, one, it makes funding
secure. It makes it reliable. And it
makes it equitable.
But Metro board member Da-
vid Horner asked whether the tax
district model would drive people
away from transit-adjacent prop-
erty in the long run.
Donohue replied that proximi-
ty to transit is an incentive in
itself.

Ms. Jeffreys also had the re-

cartoon and starring Morgan

(1948).
In 1950, she replaced Patricia
Morison in Cole Porters hit mu-
sical comedy Kiss Me, Kate, one
of the most popular stage musi-
cals of all time. The play, which
won the Tony Award for best
musical, was about battling ex-
spouses hes vain, shes tem-
pestuous who unite for a
revival of Shakespeares comedy
The Taming of the Shrew. Al-
fred Drake was the male star, and
Ms. Jeffreys performed some of
the shows best-known songs,
including such standards as So
in Love, Wunderbar and I
Hate Men.
Not long after, Ms. Jeffreys
teamed with her husband, the
debonair actor Robert Sterling,
in a hit nightclub act. In 1953,
they became household names
as stars of CBSs Topper, based
on the Thorne Smith novels and
the 1937 film comedy starring
Cary Grant and Constance Ben-
nett.
Ms. Jeffreys and Sterling
played George and Marion Ker-
by, mischievous millionaires
who die in an avalanche while
skiing and return as ghosts to
haunt their home and its new
occupant, a strait-laced banker
named Cosmo Topper (Leo G.
Carroll). The shows special ef-
fects were at the root of much of
its humor, including sequences
where the Kerbys walked
through walls, vanished from
scenes and moved objects
around a room while in ghost
form.
New York Times TV critic Jack
Gould found the show a one-joke
stunt, but he praised the two
playful leads for portraying the
Kerbys very eagerly. The series
ran three years and continued in
syndication much longer.
Ms. Jeffreys and Sterling,
meanwhile, went on to other
ventures. They co-starred in the
short-lived ABC series Love
That Jill (1958), as the heads of
competing modeling agencies,
and appeared together in region-
al productions of musicals, in-
cluding Camelot and The
King and I.
Sterling semi-retired from act-
ing in the 1960s to focus on
business endeavors, including
manufacturing golf clubs, but
Ms. Jeffreys remained a stage
and TV stalwart, notably as the
mother of David Hasselhoff s
character on Baywatch and as
widowed socialite and hospital

mother once described as a
guided missile with charm.
Mother had the drive and the
ambition, Ms. Jeffreys told the
Toronto Star. She would say you

Southern family which thought
going on the stage was just not
the thing for a nice girl, but
mother thought otherwise. She
heard me sing along with the

In addition to performing, Ms.

ble causes, including Childhelp
USA, which aids victims of child
abuse, and animal rescue
groups.
An early, wartime marriage to
a soldier, Joseph Serena, was
annulled. She was married to

days of computer programming. He retired
as a Computer Systems Analyst from the
Department of Energy in 1995.
In 2007, he moved just outside of Gettysburg
where he enjoyed a slower pace of life, civil
war history, and the countryside. He Rocked
the Red and Feared the Turtle, was a devoted
and often disappointed Skins fan, and he
loved having baseball back in DC. He never
met a pair of glasses or a coffee mug he
didnt lose, or an animal that he wouldnt give
a home to. Mike formed lifelong friendships
in his early years and was a good friend
to all who knew him; but he was an even
better, more devoted son, brother, father, and
grandpa.
He was overly generous, highly opinionated,
lovable, and funny. Mike was a survivor of
car wrecks in the 50s, military combat in the
60s, his teenage daughters in the 80s, and
a horrific motorcycle accident in the 90s. In
2012, he received a diagnosis of Idiopathic
Pulmonary Fibrosis and in true Mike fashion,
he remained optimistic, fought hard and
fierce, but succumbed after a five-year battle.
He is survived by his daughters, Tracy Monaco
of Sarasota, FL, and Christine Monaco Wil-
liams of Hyattsville, MD; his son-in-law, Ken
Williams; his granddaughters, Ella and Char-
lotte Williams; and his girlfriend, Elizabeth
Desmond of Gettysburg, PA. He is also sur-

his brother, Daniel Monaco of Brunswick, MD;
and his former wife, Shirley Donaldson of Port
Charlotte, FL. He was preceded in death by
his brother, Donald Monaco of Silver Spring,
MD.
Michael will be interred at Arlington National

LAUREL DENMEAD MIKHALEVSKY
Laurie (Age 91)
Peacefully at her home surrounded by fam-
ily on September 22, 2017. Laurie was born
on May 14, 1926 at the Columbia Hospital
for Women in Washington DC. She attended
Holton Arms School and graduated in 1945.
She studied at the University of Hawaii
and University of Maryland. Her father Vice
Adm. John Esten Billick Whelchel was a
decorated WWII naval officer, and coach
of the Redskins in 1949 (Washington Post,
November 7, 1973). While her family was
stationed in Hawaii, Laurie met her future
husband, Ensign Nicholas S. Mikhalevsky. It
is a favorite family story. She loved music
and played the piano and the guitar. One
evening Nick was walking in Makalapa,
the officers quarters area in Pearl Harbor,
when he heard Rachmaninoff being played
on the piano. He asked who was playing and
his friends told him it was Laurie Whelchel,
the admirals daughter. They were married
in Little Creek, VA on December 4, 1948.
That started a 30 year naval career. Nick
achieved the rank of Capt., was the Com-
manding Officer of two destroyers, and
Commodore of a destroyer division and
squadron. Laurie was a loyal navy wife,
devoted to her husband, and a loving moth-
er who raised two children. She managed
the household, including the long separa-
tions when Nick was deployed at sea and
away from home, 15 of the 30 years he
was in the navy. Nick passed away in
January of this year at 93 (death notice
Washington Post, January 26, 2017 and
Of Note obituary March 30, 2017). Laurie
and Nick celebrated their 68th wedding
anniversary last December.
In addition to her husband Laurie is prede-
ceased by her brother John Whelchel and
sister Louise Wiot. She is survived by her
son Peter (Litsa), Arlington, VA, daughter
Nina Perry (Mark), Arlington, VA, four grand-
children, and seven great-grandchildren.
Burial will be at Arlington National Ceme-
tery. Contributions can be made to Saint

KILBANE
MARY ANN KILBANE
December 12, 1924 ~ September 21, 2017
The greatest generation left a formidable imprint upon the world, just as Mary Ann Kilbane
did throughout her 92 years.
Hard work and values, developed during the worst of times, built her character. Always
a teacher, she was also a student, seeking intellectual adventures in even the mundane.
God and family were her protective shield and a source of joy. Country and tradition meant
everything, and life was even better with a French twist.
Mary Anns legacy is a challenge to do it all, with humility, gratitude and integrity. Lucky
are those who knew her.

Frances grew up in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
She was a graduate of National Cathedral
School, Bradford College and Sarah

After graduation, Frances moved to New

MAURICE BERNARD TOBIN
January 23, 1933 September 17, 2017
Maurice Bernard Tobin, attorney, Congres-
sional counsel, author and speaker died in
Naples, Florida of complications following a
heart attack.
Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri,
Mr. Tobin, then working with the Assistant
District Attorney, came to Washington in
early 1962 with the wave of Kennedy enthu-
siasts, then worked first for Senator Edward
V. Long (D-Missouri) and as a counsel to the
Natural Resources Committee. Tobin next
served as Counsel to the House Commit-
tee on Public Works (and Legislative Assis-
tant to its Chair, John Blatnik). Because of
its jurisdiction over rivers and harbors, he
handled the first water pollution hearings
throughout the country and then helped
write the legislation which, signed by Presi-
dent Johnson, became the foundation of the
environmental movement.
An acknowledged expert in water pollution
and environmental issues, he is the author of
Environmental Working Papers, based upon
speeches he gave nationally and internation-
ally, among them Puraqua in Rome and the
Salzburg Seminar. He left Congress to launch
the law firm of Tobin, French and Dillon in the
early 1970s specializing in environmental
issues and later, some telecommunications
matters. Mr. Tobin organized an international
conference of 25 top world telecommunica-
tions leaders at Leeds Castle in the UK,
which resulted in a report that was widely
distributed and influential at the time. He
was a delegate to the International Telecom-
munications Union Plenipotentiary Meeting
meetings in Nairobi in the early 80s.
An accomplished speaker, Mr. Tobin directed
and moderated hour-long documentaries
(the first ever aired by C-Span) for Clemson
Universitys Strom Thurmond Institute on
topics including Super Tuesday, the Federal
Budget, Leveraged Buy-Outs, The Senate
Machine, and Terrorism, a topic he
addressed two decades before it escalated
to a central issue. All the programs included
multiple senators, judges and civic leaders,
and are still requested, having become an
important political historical resource. He is
the author of Hidden Power: The Seniority

to music began while she was a student
at National Cathedral; continuing to sing
in church choirs for years afterwards. She
was a devout member of St. Columbas
Episcopal Church and The Episcopal Church
of the Redeemer. She was an enthusiastic
supporter of The Washington Revels, Vocal
Arts DC, The Choral Arts Society of Wash-
ington, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and
Arena Stage. As an avid Democrat, Frances
took time to walk for causes she believed
in: protecting the environment, equal rights
and Democratic issues, while also protesting
against those she did not.
Frances was a grateful member of Alcoholics
Anonymous since 2000 and of the Chevy
Chase Club where she played tennis and
spent many years enjoying the view of the
11th fairway from her back deck. She loved
spending time in her gardens, listening to

later enjoy arranging to display around her
home. She happily renovated each house she
lived in, finding joy in the creative process.
Frances is survived by her daughter, Barclay
Newlands Sharon of Charlotte, North Car-

and was a committed father and hence
soccer coach, lacrosse parent and chauffeur.
He was a tennis player, skier and hiker, loved
Broadway musicals and other theatre, read
voraciously and was immersed in current
events and politics his entire life. His wit,
warmth and his enthusiasm lifted any room
he entered.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Joan
Fleischmann Tobin; their daughter, Alexis
Dorette Tobin; and their son, Ian Maurice
Tobin. He is also survived by his sister, Mary
Tobin Mahr; his brothers Kelly Tobin and

Passersby were able to perch
on nearby benches and walls and
view the spectacle for themselves.
Traffic swirled in the distance.
Tour buses slowed.
Fashion always sees itself as a
reflection of the culture and an
arbiter of the times. But so often,
these shows are walled off from
the public, tucked away in some
dark grotto or behind gilded
doors. On Tuesday night, Saint
Laurent was immersed in the city
where the brand was born, the
city that defines it. And both the
city and the collection dazzled.
Maison Margiela
On the runway for spring 2018
at Maison Margiela, Creative Di-
rector John Galliano took a
trench coat, pulled it apart and
turned it into a dress. He turned
others into skirts. He trimmed
their skeletal remains with feath-
ers.
He took a bit of lush cotton
fabric that looked like a towel,
something that youd wrap
around your head after a shower,
and made it into a skirt and an
evening coat. He made it fancy
and sophisticated. It still sort of
looks like a towel. But it also
looks like clothes.
He took the accoutrements of
air travel the inflatable neck
rest, the favorite pillow, the eye
mask, the priority luggage tag,
all symbolic of the desperate
way fliers try to make a wholly
uncomfortable experience bear-
able and transformed them
into charms. The point of it all
was to appropriate the inap-
propriate.
But these clothes and accesso-
ries are more than just wry jokes
or bits of whimsy. Because they
are executed with elevated tech-
nique and breathtaking skill,
they rise above the joke to be-
come something enticing on their
own.
Dries Van Noten
Dries Van Notens shows are
dramatic and theatrical, but he
does not allow anything to dis-
tract from the clothes them-
selves. They are not hidden in
murky lighting or diminished by
a front row filled with celebrities.
And if a consumer purchased one
of his jackets or a pair of his
trousers five seasons ago, in all
likelihood those clothes would be
just as relevant today. His point-
of-view evolves. It does not whip-
saw.
His spring 2018 collection is an
exuberant display of scarf prints
and motifs, richly embellished
dresses and boots, competing tex-
tures, and tulle pullovers that
surround an oversize blazer like a

His womenswear is distin-
guished by the juxtaposition of
prints, colors and textures that
might initially appear to be at
odds. But he finds the subtle
connections that allow them to
peaceably, beautifully coexist. He
is a fashion diplomat.
The Belgian-born designer
plays with layers and propor-
tions, favors soft draping over
sharp tailoring, and aims for
romance rather than overt sex
appeal.
Van Noten is not as famous as
some of his contemporaries. Few
outside the fashion industry
would recognize him on the
street. His brand doesnt have a
logo to serve as its philosophical
shorthand. The clothes he creates
tell his story in full.

If you were still a boy, in almost
a Peter Pan kind of way, and
could have just the perfect life
you wanted to have, thats the life
I invented for myself.
What kind of person would
choose to live in a childs fantasy
rather than a grown-up one? Or,
dont answer that, since the
answer might be, All of us, if we
only had the money. A better
question might be, What kind of
cohort allows itself to be defined
by the sexual expectations of an
inexperienced 13-year-old?
Because thats essentially
what happened, for thousands of
Hef s admirers. His origin story
that he was irrevocably dam-
aged in 1949 by learning that his
first wife had cheated on him
has a whiff of prototypical Red-
dit red-pill whininess to it. I was
absolutely devastated, he said in
a 1994 interview. Im sure in
some way, that experience set me
up for the life that followed.
The devastation would be nor-
mal. Less normal is the response
of creating a whole empire
around the idea that women
cant be trusted and so they
should instead be imprisoned in
the purgatory between raunch
and domesticity.
When Holly Madison, Hef s
B
ut that was Hugh Hefner for
you. Nostalgic for some
time that never existed,
wherein women dutifully obeyed
a 9 p.m. curfew (a requirement
for live-in girlfriends) and cud-
dled up for family movie night,
but they also couldnt wait to
jump into a pair of three-inch
heels and into a night of harem
duties. In 2013, an Esquire writer
did a deep dive into the mansion
itself, with its threadbare sofas
and nightly desserts of apple pie
and ice cream sundaes, and Es-
quire concluded that the place
had the vibe of less a sex palace
than a grandmothers living
room.
Think of those threadbare so-
fas and its almost impossible to
dislike Hugh Hefner. For all of
his pageantry, as he got older he
got quainter. He certainly didnt
seem to belong in this current
grab-em-by-the-kitty era. By the
end of his life, one has a far
easier time picturing Hugh Hef-
ner buying his girlfriend a comfy
pair of slippers than one of the
satin corsets the Bunnies used to
wear.
We will never recapture the
importance of Playboy in the
60s and 70s, he told The Wash-
ington Post in 2003, because we
specifically attractive were free
to have sex. Was that enough?
Was that enough for him to be a
hero for women, or just to be a
god among men? Maybe, for
feminists, he can be a Playmate
of the Month for a shorter
month. February not on a leap
year. Thats all.
Hell be laid to rest perma-
nently in the cemetery slot next
to Marilyn Monroe. Incidentally
Hefner, the man given credit for
launching Monroes career as a
sexbomb, never asked her per-
mission to do so. The nude
photos that appeared in Play-
boys first issue werent intended
for the magazine theyd been
shot years before when Monroe
was penniless and desperate.
She didnt think theyd become
so public, but Hefner found and
bought and published them, and
Monroe grew into that persona
and later embraced it and be-
came world famous.
Its a parable, in some ways,
for Hef s relationship with wom-
ankind. Give them power, but on
his terms. Make them famous,
keep them nude. Change the
course of their history, for good
or ill, and then stick next to them
for all of eternity.

MUSIC REVIEW
NSO dives into season energetically
BY A NNE M IDGETTE
After the weekends season-
opening gala, the National Sym-
phony Orchestra got its regular
season underway Thursday night
with an all-American program
that represented some continuity,
and a break. The continuity lay in
the selection of pieces, which con-
tinued the Bernstein theme of this
season: works by Leonard Bern-
stein, his friend and mentor Aar-
on Copland, and one of his succes-
sors, John Adams. Adamss Short
Ride in a Fast Machine is a great,
upbeat way to start your subscrip-
tion season; indeed, the Balti-
more Symphony Orchestra
played it as the first piece on its
regular season just two weeks ago.
Other than color, Salesmans 2017 model looks the same
THEATER FROM C1
matized operate differently on
this Willy Loman? Raynes pro-
duction does not italicize the
issue, but the show is not indif-
ferent, either. Audiences seeing
this play now in Washington will
be attuned to fissures delineat-
ing race, and pick up on how this
particular world is arrayed.
Other men, I dont know
they do it easier, Willy confides
to Linda. Its almost impossible
not to fill in the blank.
The sales firm where Willy is
failing is run by a black man,
Howard (a confident, nattily at-
tired KenYatta Rogers the neat-
ly tailored costumes are by Wade
Laboissonniere), whose dad hired
Willy back in the day. When the
unreliable Willy loses his temper
pleading to be kept on, Howard
finally snaps, I dont want you
representing us. You always won-
der about Willys perverse pride,
trying to cling to this old sales-
mans job when his carefree neigh-
bor, Charley, offers him work.
Here, you wonder whether Willy
is craving greater loyalty from his
black-run firm, and whether hes
resisting working for his neighbor
(a jaunty, joshing Michael Russot-
to) because Charley is white.
The hotter sparks fly in the
household, though, which never
seems more familial than when
Schraf s Linda dresses down her
two grown boys. Linda cuts
through the male noise and
stuns her sons by revealing Wil-
lys suicidal tendencies, and
Schraf s biting lucidity gives the
evening one of its rare lump-in-
the-throat moments.
As Biff and Happy, Thomas
Keegan and Danny Gavigan are
lanky, handsome and combusti-
ble, especially Keegans brooding
Biff. Keegan is as quick-triggered
as Wallace when it comes to the
father-son fights; Rayne is keen
to keep a flame under this fam-
ilys simmering panic and sud-
den flaring squabbles. Wallace
and Schraf partners in real life
share some lovely, unguarded
moments that draw you into the
Lomans struggles, but they are
also unflinchingly brusque with
the familys uglier moments.
Wallace has the kind of gravi-
tas you expect as this complex,
flailing icon. His stride can be as
powerful as his voice, but he also
freezes in place a number of
times, as if physically paralyzed
by regret and financial pressure.
In Wallaces interpretation, you
see how starved Willy is for any
scrap of the economic success
thats easy to talk about but
somehow impossible to grasp.

it. When he read Landmarks
brief against Regal for doing
exactly the same thing that he
believes drove him out of
business, the hypocrisy and the
irony were so strong I
reconsidered my position.
On Wednesday Levin, along
with Washingtons Avalon
Theatre, the Denver Film
Society and Cinema Detroit,
filed suit against Landmark in a
complaint filed in U.S. District
Court for the District of
Columbia. The four
independent exhibitors seek
relief from Landmarks
unlawful anti-competitive
practices, alleging that
Landmark uses its market
dominance to demand exclusive
rights to screen specialty films,
resulting in no local
competition for those films
despite consumer demand.
. THE WASHINGTON POST
The break lay in the fact that,
after the big buildup to the arrival
of the new music director, Gia-
nandrea Noseda, hes gone for
several weeks. This is all accord-
ing to plan: Even when he was
announced as music director a
year and a half ago, Nosedas
schedule was already full enough
that he could commit to only eight
weeks with the NSO this season.
He will be returning in November.
But it does make for a bit of
anticlimax for subscription audi-
ences, entering the hall past post-
ers of Noseda, to hear Cristian
Macelaru, who led Thursdays
program, instead.
Not that Macelaru is a slouch,
as the NSO, and its audiences,
have had several chances to deter-
Yes, this abrasive man is annoy-
ingly self-deceiving, yet Wallace
allows you feel for him as Willy
keeps coming up empty.
The rub is that both Willy and
this respectful production reli-
ably blow up on schedule. There
are no real missteps, but there
are few surprises (though the
familys funny twist on the
phrase well-liked is one). Its
earnestness and insistence be-
come liabilities. Emotionally, its
almost all as expected.

was not available for comment
on Wednesday. But historically,
the chain has argued that the
kinds of independent, foreign-
language and nonfiction films it
plays known as specialty
films have too small an
audience to justify playing on
several local screens at once. If
the Avalon and Bethesda Row
were to play the same movie at
the same time, the argument
goes, it would cannibalize the
films box office and unfairly
hasten its early demise.
That argument might hold for
an obscure, micro-budgeted
indie with a minuscule
audience. But in recent years a
different kind of specialty film
has emerged, especially during
awards season, that becomes a
must-see title exemplified by
movies like Moonlight, Hell
or High Water and Birdman,
all of which are mentioned in
mine. His approach to Short Ride
in a Fast Machine was firm and
robust, with an emphasis on the
underlying pulse supporting a
score that burst at the seams with
color, flying by in a flash.
The evenings main focus was
on Copland, starting with his first
major work: the Symphony for
Organ and Orchestra he wrote at
the instigation of his teacher, Na-
dia Boulanger, when he was in his
20s. It is characterized by a quest-
ing angularity (the composer
himself later thought the work
was too European). Angular,
too, was the performance of the
soloist, Cameron Carpenter, the
enfant terrible of the organ, who
played the solo line of this not-
quite concerto with abandon and
the theaters complaint. Those
movies occupy a space between
art house and mainstream,
becoming modest juggernauts
that not only withstand runs at
multiple theaters but benefit
from them. As Tom Bernard, co-
president of specialty
distributor Sony Pictures
Classics, told me, specialty-film
clearances make no sense in an
art-hungry market like
Washington. I dont
understand why anyone would
do that, because D.C. still
doesnt have enough theaters to
hold the art market, he said.
Films are still coming off the
screen early. So the more
mouths to feed, the better for
the business.
To Bernards point, on those
vanishingly rare occasions when
small theaters have played a
movie along with Landmark, the
result is usually a healthier box
office return for the title in
EZ M2
his signature unusual registra-
tions, as if setting out to make the
piece sound as unlike the stereo-
type of organ sound as possible.
The rocketing scherzo with its
syncopations sounded like a natu-
ral fit for Carpenters aggressive
virtuosity, but the finale splin-
tered inconclusively, with soloist
and orchestra failing to unite in a
common point.
The fault is partly Macelarus;
he is fond of exaggerated con-
trasts, from slowed-down quiet
sections to explosive outbursts of
fortissimo. Contrasting with the
organ symphony, after intermis-
sion, was the quintessentially
American Appalachian Spring,
which epitomizes the idea of
straightforwardness. In this read-
ing, though, it sometimes threat-
ened to founder on the exaggerat-
ed, slowed-down drama of its
quiet passages, before whiplash-
ing abruptly into what sounded
like a hoedown projected in a
question. Earlier this year, the
Avalon opened the World War II
drama-comedy Their Finest
one week after it opened at
Bethesda Row. Although
business dropped at that
location, it was still the theaters
best-performing title that
weekend; with the Avalons
added receipts, Their Finests
overall local box office held
steady instead of dipping by the
usual 30 or 40 percent.
Although the Landmark
lawsuit concentrates on business
practices, whats really at stake
is audience choice and
autonomy: No one knows their
communities better than local
independent theaters, whose
programmers and bookers
regularly scour the festival
circuit for movies they know will
appeal to patrons, many of
whom they know on a first-name
basis. Those loyal customers, in
turn, come to rely on their local
theaters taste, amenities and
attention to comfort and pristine
presentation.
What really hurts as a theater
owner, said Levin, is being
forced to break faith with an
audience youve taken care to
develop and feel honor-bound to
serve. At the West End, he said,

The 2013 film Anita, about

mercurial and brilliant music was
a nice showcase for a conductor
fond of contrasts and an orchestra
that has started the season sound-
ing energetic.
It was an especially good night
to be a trumpeter or trombonist,
from the finish of the Bernstein to
a brass-heavy arrangement of the
Star-Spangled Banner at the
start. When the national anthem
ended, one audience member
bawled out, raucously, God save
President Trump!, eliciting from
the public a frisson of protest, or
of simple perplexity.

Cap Ward turn back
wont kneel the clock
for anthem for baseball
BY M ATT B ONESTEEL BY M ARISSA P AYNE

As one of the NHLs few black
players and with the season fast
approaching, San Jose Sharks for-
ward Joel Ward had a decision to
make: Would he protest police
brutality and racial inequality by
taking a knee on the ice during the
playing of the national anthem as
many NFL players have done this
season?
He said he considered it, espe-
cially because of the racism he has
encountered both on the ice and
off it.
Ive dealt with it a lot, Ward
told the Mercury News this week.
Ive had a few things that have
happened to me that you could
say are not the norm. Ive been
singled out at different events.
Ive been pulled over. Ive dealt
with racism right to my face.
It has been 100 years since the
United States became involved in
World War I. To mark that cen-
tennial, the U.S. Naval War Col-
lege in Newport, R.I., planned a
unique celebration: On Friday,
the college will gather Navy sail-
ors and Army soldiers to play a
baseball game as if it were 1917,
the school announced. That
means flannel uniforms, a larger
strike zone and, yes, spitballs and

Redskins have lost
six in a row against Chiefs,
many in ugly fashion
BY S COTT A LLEN
The last time the Washington
Redskins played the Kansas City Chiefs,
the smallest announced crowd in FedEx
Field history watched Jamaal Charles
run for 150 yards in the snow, Robert
Griffin III get sacked five times and the
Chiefs rout the Redskins, 45-10, in
December 2013 in one of the worst losses
of the Daniel Snyder era.
The last time the Redskins beat the
Chiefs, Snyder was an 18-year-old
student who had yet to drop out of the
University of Maryland, and none of the
players on Washingtons current roster
were born.
The Redskins are 1-8 all time against
Kansas City and have lost six straight in
the series, Washingtons longest active
losing streak against any team. Their
lone win was a 27-12 victory at RFK
Stadium in 1983.
Heres a look back at the Redskins six
losses in the 34 years since their last win
in the series.
Nov. 15, 1992, at Arrowhead
Stadium: Chiefs 35, Redskins 16
The Chiefs scored on their first four
possessions to build a 28-0 halftime lead.
These are tough times, Redskins Coach
Joe Gibbs said after Washingtons second
blowout loss in three weeks dropped the
team to 6-4.
Chiefs quarterback Dave Krieg
completed 19 of 29 passes for 302 yards.
The Redskins best play was a 33-yard
run by Brian Mitchell on a fake punt.
Nov. 5, 1995, at Arrowhead
Stadium: Chiefs 24, Redskins 3
Quarterback Gus Frerotte, who
finished 11 for 34 for 140 yards, gave way
to Heath Shuler in the fourth quarter,
and Washington failed to score a
touchdown for the third time in 10
games while falling to 3-7. Shuler was 1
for 5 with two interceptions.
I was extremely proud of the way our
players competed, Redskins Coach
Norv Turner said after Kansas City
improved to 8-1. I dont know that as we
got through the first quarter, the way it
was going, that anyone could be sitting
there in that situation saying theres a
hell of a lot of hope that well win this
football game. But you couldnt tell that
by the way they went out and competed.
Sept. 30, 2001, at FedEx Field:
Chiefs 45, Redskins 13
Im as disappointed as I have been at
any time in my coaching experience,
Coach Marty Schottenheimer said after
the Redskins fell to 0-3 with a season
point differential of 112-16. I dont think
Ive ever been through anything like
this.
Former Redskins quarterback Trent
Green, playing for the Chiefs, passed for
307 yards and three touchdowns, and
running back Priest Holmes added
147 yards rushing and two scores for the
previously winless Chiefs. Washington
quarterback Tony Banks threw for only
116 yards.
Its pretty bad, Redskins defensive
lineman Kenard Lang said. I dont even
want to show my face outside this locker
room.
Oct. 16, 2005, at Arrowhead
Stadium: Chiefs 28, Redskins 21
Led by Mark Brunells 331 yards
passing, including a 78-yard touchdown
pass to Santana Moss, the Redskins
outgained the Chiefs by more than
100 yards. But Kansas City won the
turnover battle (3-0).
Holmes was limited to 18 yards on
14 carries, but he had five receptions for
100 yards, including a 60-yard
touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
Jared Allen sacked Brunell three times.
Its been the same story weve been
singing all year long, Redskins running
back Clinton Portis said. Turnovers and
penalties. Turnovers and penalties.
Nothings changed.
Oct. 18, 2009, at FedEx Field:
Chiefs 14, Redskins 6
Four Ryan Succop field goals and a
safety accounted for the Chiefs scoring in
a game that featured barely 500 yards of
total offense. Heres how The Washington
Posts Thomas Boswell described the
scene as Succop put the Chiefs ahead for
good in the fourth quarter.
With less than four minutes to play at
FedEx Field, the sparse remains of the
Redskins crowd stood as one. And they
did nothing.
They did not cheer. They did not
exhort their team to block a long field
goal by a Kansas City rookie named Ryan
Succop, the final player picked in the last
NFL draft, which would put the awful
Chiefs, losers of 28 of their previous
30 games, ahead 9-6.
The crowd did not boo, either.
Instead, in a sight I can never remember
at a sporting event, the fans
spontaneously shared a moment of
silence, a communal mortification, as
they stood witness to the bleakest
moment all factors considered in
the history of the Redskins franchise.
Dec. 8, 2013, at FedEx Field:
Chiefs 45, Redskins 10
The highlight of the game for
Washington was a seven-yard
touchdown pass from Robert Griffin III
to Logan Paulsen with the Chiefs already
leading 31-0. Quintin Demps returned
the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a
touchdown to quash any hopes of a
historic comeback.
To put up a performance like this and
get booed in your home stadium,
linebacker London Fletcher said. I
understand the fans frustration. I
wanted to boo us too.
The loss, which dropped Washington
to 3-10, came on the same day that a
report leaked that Coach Mike
Shanahans relationship with Snyder
was damaged beyond repair. Shanahan
was fired after the season.

of the story of the American
experience during the First
World War.
While baseball didnt have a
direct impact on the outcome of
the war, it has been credited as a
diplomatic tool. For example, on
July 4, 1918, Britain officially
observed American Independ-
ence Day and celebrated by hold-
ing a baseball game between
Navy sailors and Army soldiers
on the grounds of Londons Chel-
sea soccer team, according to the
federally run American Battle
Monuments Commission.
Around 18,000 spectators, in-
cluding King George V, came out
to watch the game, which the
Navy sailors won, 2-1.
That game was part of a league
created in Ireland by Navy Adm.
William S. Sims in 1917 that was
meant to dispel tensions between
the Irish population, which was
already deeply suspicious of Brit-
ish activity, and the U.S. military.
Through baseball, Sims at-
tempted to show that our troops
and sailors were no longer Ger-
man, or Irish, or anything other
than American, Kohnen said in
the schools announcement last
week. Not only did baseball pro-
vide a diversion from the horrors
of war, but baseball also demon-
strated a unique American iden-
tity.
The league proved quite popu-
lar and attracted some big-name
talents who were serving in the
military at the time. Among them
were Hall of Famers Herb Pen-
nock and Casey Stengel, who
served in the Navy, and Ty Cobb
and Christy Mathewson, who
served in the Army.
No pro players will be involved
in Fridays game. Instead, stu-
dents of the war college will suit
up to play seven innings at Car-
dines Field, one of the oldest
ballparks in the country and
home to the Newport Gulls, a
summer college baseball team.
The game, which is open to the
public with no admission charge,
is slated to begin at 4:30 p.m.

It took just three days for the

Caps Graovac auditioning to be Beagles new PK partner

BY I SABELLE K HURSHUDYAN
After the Capitals 4-1 loss to
the New Jersey Devils on
Wednesday night, forward Tyler
Graovac seemed conflicted as he
stood in front of his locker room
stall. Graovac had another strong
showing in an effort to make
Washingtons opening night ros-
ter; he scored the teams only goal
of the game and just the Capitals
second five-on-five goal of the
preseason.
But Graovac was unhappy with
the other part of his audition.
Playing on a top penalty-killing
pair with forward Jay Beagle,
Graovac was on the ice for two of
the Devils three power-play goals
in the first period.
You have to take responsibili-
ty for it, and you have to make the
proper adjustments, Graovac
said. For me, I want to take that
opportunity and have that re-
sponsibility this year.
With the NHL cracking down
on slashing, the start to the
regular season may feature a lot
of penalties, as has been the case
in exhibitions. That puts even
more spotlight on a penalty kill
that could still be a work in
progress this time next week. The
Capitals have two preseason
games left to decide who will
start the season on either side of
Beagle on the fourth line. But
figuring out who in the lineup
should replace Daniel Winnik as
Beagles regular penalty-kill part-
ner might stretch into the regular
season.
I think someone who antici-
pates well off of him, Coach
Barry Trotz said. Thats sort of
key. Its almost like a pair of
defensemen; you want to have
the ability to anticipate. Some-
times you put two guys together,
and you think it should work, and
it really doesnt. Then you put
another pair together, and they
just instinctively work well to-
gether. Last year, Beags and Win-
nie were really good, and Lars
[Eller] and Tom [Wilson] had a
little bit of chemistry [on the
second unit]. That is going to be
very, very important for us going
forward, finding that next guy.
Beagle has played in two pre-
season games, and in the first
one, Washington paired him with
Devante Smith-Pelly on the pen-
alty kill. The Carolina Hurricanes
won that game, 4-1, and in four
power-play opportunities, Caro-
lina scored one goal, when Smith-
Pelly and Beagle werent on the
ice. On Wednesday night, the
Devils had three power plays in
the first 14 minutes, and they
scored less than a minute into all
three. Washington kept New Jer-
sey off the board the rest of the
game.
Washingtons penalty kill has
been a source of strength for the
team over the past two years, and
Beagle has played a large part in
that. Since the start of the 2015-16
season, the Capitals have an 84.5
penalty kill percentage, third best
in the league, and Beagle has
logged more than 337 shorthand-
ed minutes in that span, which is
more than any forward and third
most on the team. Winnik, now
on a professional tryout with the
Minnesota Wild, played with Bea-
gle most in that role, and prefera-
bly one of Beagles new linemates
will replace him.
Its easy to build off of and get
chemistry with another guy when
youre killing with a guy and then
playing five-on-five, Beagle said.
It comes faster.
T.J. Oshie and Beagle made a
dynamic penalty-killing pair for a
short stretch of games early last
season, but its a lot to ask of
Oshie to play in the top-six for-
ward corps at even strength and
then also take on top power-play
and top penalty-kill responsibili-
ties. While Oshie and center
Nicklas Backstrom log short-
handed minutes, it tends to be
just at the end of the penalty kill,
which makes the transition back
to five-on-five easier because Os-
hie and Backstrom play on a line
together. Creating shorthanded
pairs who also play together at
even strength helps maintain line
continuity in the shifts after a
penalty kill.
Graovac seems to be a favorite
to make Washingtons opening
night roster because his play at
JOHN MCDONNELL/THE WASHINGTON POST
five-on-five has been so strong,
Since the start of the 2015-16 season, the Capitals have killed 84.5 and he likely will get another
percent of their penalties, and Jay Beagle is a big reason for that. opportunity to kill penalties with
Beagle. The two together would
seem to be an advantage for the
Capitals on faceoffs because both
are natural centers and have
opposite dominant hands.
You know what? Hes a smart
player, and I really just kind of
feed off him, Graovac said. You
just follow his stick, and youve
just got to fill the lanes and hold
that to the intersection. I think
there was a couple times where
they didnt really get to set up too
many times, and thats key for us.
Thats something I liked to do on
the PK when I played last year a
little bit; if they cant even set up,
then thats the best PK. I think we
did a little bit of that, but unfortu-
nately, tough start on the PK.
Along with Graovac, forwards
Nathan Walker and Alex Chias-
son appear to be the front-run-
ners to seize Washingtons depth
forward openings, and they have
experience killing penalties, too.
Beagle said he likes to make note
of whom he has chemistry with in
games, practices and scrimmag-
es, but the pieces around him
have rotated so much during this
training camp that it has been
hard to handicap.
Weve still got some good
players that are going to get an
opportunity to showcase that
next game, Trotz said. Were
going to have to make some
decisions as were getting down
to the short strokes with two
games left.

NATIONALS 5,
PIRATES 4
BY C HELSEA J ANES
Sean Doolittle punched and be-
rated his baseball glove as he
marched off the mound Thursday
night, knowing full well that his
first blown save in 22 chances as a
Washington National was not the
gloves fault.
The responsibility was his, and
Doolittle explained his mistakes
afterward. He did not fully com-
mit to the first-pitch fastball An-
drew McCutchen hit for a single or
to the first-pitch fastball Josh Bell
hit out to tie the game in the ninth.
[Those pitches] didnt have
that killer instinct behind them,
Doolittle said. Sometimes when
things have been going good
and theyve been going good for a
while I dont want to say you let
your guard down . . .
One blown save hardly matters
to the Nationals now. Their fate
has been sealed for some time.
Their bullpen is as sturdy as it has
ever been. Besides, the Nationals
went on to win, 5-4, when Ale-
jandro De Aza drove home Antho-
ny Rendon in the bottom of the
inning.
But those two pitches could
lead to one of two conclusions.
One, as Manager Dusty Baker put
it, is better now than later.
Doolittle was never going to be
perfect, so he might as well lapse
in a meaningless September
game.
The other conclusion is more
sinister, the kind no one would
dare speak, and it is this: Sudden-
ly, doubt exists where there was
little. Doolittles outing illumi-
nates one of the primary questions
hovering around the Nationals as
they march unconvincingly
through the final days of a sleepy
regular season. Does what hap-
pens now, when there is no pres-
sure, foretell anything that will
happen a week from now, when
Alejandro De Aza knocked in the game-winning run in the ninth and
finished 2 for 3 with a run and two RBI against the Pirates.
The teams hitting has been
stagnant for quite some time, in
large part because Baker has rest-
ed regulars regularly for a few
weeks. Bryce Harper, Trea Turner,
Ryan Zimmerman, Jayson Werth
and Matt Wieters sat Thursday.
The line between needed relax-
ation and over-sedation is thin,
and the Nationals have exhibited
sluggish tendencies lately.
With the Nationals up by a run
in the second, for example, Edwin
Jackson could not bunt Jose Loba-
ton to second, so when Wilmer
Difo singled a batter later, no runs
scored. A half-inning after that,
Jackson walked Pirates No. 8 hit-
ter Max Moroff to start what be-
came a two-run rally that neednt
have been much of a rally at all.
Whatever its origins, that rally
provided arguments for Bakers
caution with his stars. First, Pi-
rates starter Ivan Nova left the
game mid-at-bat after bunting a
ball off his finger, ending his eve-
ning after two innings of one-run
ball. Second, left fielder Howie
Kendrick dived for a sinking line
drive that bounced in and out of
his glove. A half-inning later, he
was out of the game, a precaution-
ary measure because his ham-
string was tight.
Most of the past two weeks have
been geared toward avoiding trou-
ble like that before October, but
these weeks do matter. Jackson,
for example, saw his latest big
league renaissance slide softly
into hibernation after six strong
innings in his final start of 2017.
He might not earn a spot on the
playoff roster, but after four starts
in which he allowed at least four
earned runs each, Jackson some-
how rebounded just a few days
after the loss of his grandmother.

NFL NOTES

Top overall pick Garrett

back at Browns practice
F ROM NEWS SERVICES
Myles Garrett practiced.
For the Browns, thats enough
to celebrate.
We almost started to throw a
little party to see him back out
there, defensive back James Mc-
Courty said. We should have had
him introduce himself to the de-
fense again.
The top overall pick in this
years draft, Garrett returned to
the practice field for the first time
in three weeks Thursday, increas-
ing the possibility he could make
his regular season debut Sunday
against Cincinnati.
Garrett missed Clevelands first
three games with a high right
ankle sprain, leaving a hole in the
defense and depriving the Browns
of a chance to see a player they
believe could change their fran-
chises fortunes.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pounder
stretched, ran and joined Cleve-
lands defensive linemen as they
went through individual drills
during the portion of practice
open to the media.
Afterward, Coach Hue Jackson
said Garrett looked like Myles
but wouldnt go as far as saying
the rookie defensive end will play
troit (2-1) on Sunday.

PROTESTS: NFL Commis-
sioner Roger Goodell held a
roundtable meeting with roughly
25 owners, league executives and
players Tuesday night to discuss
the national anthem demonstra-
tions.
New York Giants linebacker
Jonathan Casillas said the summit
at the leagues headquarters in
New York lasted roughly two
hours and was attended by several
of the NFLs most prominent own-
ers, including John Mara of the
Giants, Robert Kraft of the Patri-
ots and Art Rooney II of the Steel-
ers. NFL Executive Vice President
Troy Vincent also attended along
with eight players from five teams.
Casillas said the group talked
about what to do to move forward
and how to approach the whole
kneeling situation.
It was a whole bunch of opin-
ions shared, Casillas said. There
was nothing we decided were go-
ing to do collectively. . . .
Tennessee Titans tight end Del-
anie Walker said he and his family
have received death threats since
he told fans not to come to games
if they felt disrespected by NFL
players protests.
Walker shared the threats in a
PACKERS 35,

green bay, wis. Aaron Rodg-
ers threw four touchdown pass-
es, and the injury-riddled Green
Bay Packers converted three
turnovers into scores in an event-
ful 35-14 victory over the mis-
take-prone Chicago Bears on
Thursday night.
Rodgers connected with Da-
vante Adams and Randall Cobb
on short touchdown passes to
help build a 21-0 lead in the
second quarter of a game delayed
45 minutes between the first two
quarters because of lightning.
The Packers overpowered the
Bears down the stretch to slog
out a win as intermittent rain fell
at Lambeau Field.
The Packers lost two more key
players to injuries. Adams left
the field on a stretcher after
getting hit in the head during a
tackle by Danny Trevathan in the
third quarter. Running back Ty
Montgomery was knocked out in
the first quarter with a chest
injury.
But the Packers capitalized on
an awful start by Bears quarter-
back Mike Glennon, who ac-
counted for four turnovers. JEFF HANISCH/USA TODAY SPORTS

Sunday.
We will continue to evaluate,
see where he is and kind of go
from there, Jackson said. But it
was good to have him back out
there, running around, making
plays and doing all of that. We will
see where he is.
Garrett got hurt Sept. 6 when a
teammate inadvertently fell on
his ankle during practice.
At the time, the Browns said he
would need at least a month to
recover, but the 21-year-old has
come back quicker than expected.
VIKINGS: Minnesota quar-


terback Sam Bradford was ruled
out again this week because of
lingering soreness in his left knee,
meaning Case Keenum will make
his third straight start.
Coach Mike Zimmer said that
Bradfords status remains day-to-
day. Surgery isnt needed, Zimmer
said, only rest.
Day-to-day, he said. I dont
know what day-to-day is. Just day-
to-day.
Bradford hasnt practiced in a
week.
He was declared out shortly
before kickoff Sept. 17 at Pitts-
burgh, then two days before the
most recent game against Tampa
Bay when he traveled to seek a
second medical opinion on the
knee. The Vikings (2-1) host De-
social media post. Associated Press Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was an efficient 18 for 26 for 179 yards as Green Bay improved to 3-1.
The Pro Bowl tight end, who
toured the Middle East this year
on the NFLs USO Tour, called the
threats heartbreaking. He said
the racist and violent words both
he and his son have heard are a
reminder of how the country is
divided and full of hateful rheto-
ric. Walker said the words only
will drive him as he works to reach
out to community groups, listen
to opposing opinions and honor
members of the military.
Associated Press
The Ravens announced that a
vocal trio from the U.S. Air Force
Heritage of America Band will
perform the national anthem be-
fore Sundays game against the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
The trio has sung the national
anthem at the 2015 Preakness, the
2013 World Series and the 2012
NFL Pro Bowl.
The decision comes two days
after the teams anthem singer for
the past four years, Joey Odoms,
resigned.
A combat veteran, Odoms
wrote on Instagram that the
tone/actions of a large number of
NFL fans in the midst of our coun-
trys cultural crisis, have con-
vinced me that I do not belong at

Excerpted from night against the Kansas City

washingtonpost.com/insider
Thursday takeaways:
Tackle out, baby near
Here are the top takeaways from
Thursdays practice and locker
room availability at Redskins
Park.
1. Surgery for Nsekhe:
Backup offensive tackle Ty
Nsekhe needed surgery to repair
the core muscle injury that he
suffered in Sunday nights win
over the Oakland Raiders. The
injury is a sports hernia, but
core muscle injury is the term
now used. Coach Jay Gruden
said that Nsekhe is expected to
miss three to six weeks.
It might not sound like a big
deal that a backup tackle is
injured. But Nsekhe ranks
higher in importance than many
backup linemen in the league.
The 6-foot-8, 338-pounder
played in all 16 games for
Washington last season, starting
four of them. Multiple times last
season, right tackle Morgan
Moses left a game briefly with
ankle injuries, and Nsekhe
always replaced him without the
offense seeing a slip in
performance.
With Nsekhe sidelined,
coaches will turn to T.J.
Clemmings, whom Washington
claimed off waivers after final
roster cuts.
2. Progress for injured trio:
The Redskins beat the Raiders
without three key players: tight
end Jordan Reed, running back
Rob Kelley and inside linebacker
Mason Foster. Reed missed the
game with a sprained SC joint,
which is a bone in the chest,
Kelley with a rib contusion and
Foster a dislocated shoulder. All
three returned to the practice
field Thursday but did so in a
limited capacity. They all
reported progress while
expressing optimism they will be
able to play on the road Monday
Chiefs.
3. Cousinss wife goes into
labor: Quarterback Kirk Cousins
was supposed to address the
media after practice, but as the
locker room opened, he rushed
out in street clothes with a bag
in each hand. He told Gruden
that he had gotten a text
message from his pregnant wife
that she was in labor and he was
heading out to be with her.
Cousins and his wife, Julie,
have been waiting for the birth
of their first child since Sept. 18,
the babys due date. Cousins
hadnt planned to miss any
game action because of the
birth, but, ever the planner, he
had done his research and
learned that a high percentage
of first babies are late arrivals. It
turns out that the statistics
applied in this case, and it looks
as if Cousins will not have to
miss a game or the arrival of his
son.
4. Manusky not yet sold on
defense: After three games,
Washington ranks fifth in the
NFL in total defense, ninth in
points allowed, 12th against the
pass and second against the run.
The Redskins are also fourth in
the league with seven takeaways.
But defensive coordinator Greg
Manusky isnt sold on his
defense. The coach said the unit
isnt there yet, even after his
players shut down a powerful
Raiders defense (0 for 11 on
third downs) and forced
multiple turnovers for a third
straight week.
The characteristic that
Manusky still seeks?
Consistency.
Weve just got to put a couple
games back-to-back, I think, he
said Thursday. You know, we
played good the other night, but
Im just saying, we could get
better. I think, overall, were
pulling together as a defense. Its
going to take a little bit of time,
but were getting there.
Mike Jones
Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson, drafted No. 22 overall in 2016, was used mostly as a decoy or blocker in the first two games this year.
Doctson reaches a high point in victory over Raiders
DOCTSON FROM D1
Doctson had to prove himself in
practice.
Doctsons role largely went un-
changed during the first half of
Sunday nights win over the Raid-
ers. Not until the third quarter
was he targeted, and he dropped
that pass. But later that quarter,
Doctson delivered.
On the touchdown, Doctson
was a secondary option. Terrelle
Pryor Sr. was the intended pri-
mary receiver, but he hadnt beat-
en his defender when Cousins
dropped back and looked to pass.
So the quarterback shifted to
Doctson.
I looked back over to Josh, and
[safety Reggie Nelson] was get-
ting deep as well, but I do like
Joshs ball skills and his ability to
catch the ball up in the air, Cous-
ins said. And I thought, You
know what, Im going to give him
a chance. They have been asking
me to give him that chance, and
lets give it to him. It was scary
when it left my hand because I
still see David Amerson going up.
Hes got the ball skills, too, and
Josh made me right, but that play
can go either way, you know?
Thats why this game is so tough.
The typically understated
Doctson was asked what he saw
on the play.
Just the ball. Opportunity, he
said.
He offered little insight on the
way he attacked the ball to beat
Amerson for the catch.
Its natural, man. Thats how
body goes, man, he said. Its just
God-given talent. Its not much.
Just attack the ball.
Doctson, 24, was more emo-
tional at the time of the play. He
jumped up after getting tripped
by Nelson after scoring and yelled
in celebration while spiking the
ball.
Teammates rushed downfield
to congratulate him, and as Red-
skins fans danced to the team
fight song in the stands, Cousins
looked at them and pointed to
Doctson as if to say, Did you see?
He did it! This is what weve been
waiting for!
The Redskins have waited.
That 52-yard reception was Doct-
sons first touchdown, and it was
only his third catch and 10th NFL
target.
Last season, while dealing with
Achilles tendon injuries, Doctson
recorded a 57-yard catch and a
nine-yard grab. He then missed
the final 14 games, unable to get
the Achilles tendon strains to
heal.
Team officials took a gamble
when they let Garcon (their physi-
cal possession receiver) and Jack-
son (the elite deep threat) sign
elsewhere, but they believed a
healthy Doctson would offer a
blend of both wide receivers tal-
ents.
Receivers coach Ike Hilliard
has said Doctson can run every
route in the passing tree, and he
can line up at any of the three
wide receiver positions. But the
hamstring and groin strains of
the preseason led to reservations
in Grudens mind and perhaps
Cousinss mind as well.
The Redskins have needed
someone to step up at one of the
outside wide receiver positions.
Jamison Crowder starts there, but
hes best operating out of the slot.
Pryor signed this offseason as a
free agent has yet to find com-
fort and consistency in Washing-
tons offense.
And while Ryan Grant is
steady, he has limitations. Wash-
ington has talented tight ends in
Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis and
Niles Paul and a dynamic pass-
catching running back in Chris
Thompson. But every offense
needs a well-rounded, chain-
moving, field-stretching wide re-

ceiver, and a healthy Doctson of-
fers just that. Such ability will
enable Gruden to open the play-
book even further and provide
another threat defenses will
struggle to counteract.
But first comes the trust.
Thats exactly it, Gruden said.
And thats something thats got to
continue to develop because Josh
can do things not many people
can do when the ball is in the air.
He can track it, he can go get it,
and he can leap and high-point it
like he proved [Sunday] night. I
think with that will hopefully
come more opportunity for him to
make plays down the field on the
ball where he looks like he might
be covered but Kirk might give
him a chance. Hopefully it wont
lead to interceptions, but Josh
will make plays for him. Well give
him more opportunities.
Cousins put his trust in Doct-
son on Sunday, and Doctson re-
warded him accordingly.
The wide receiver made no
bold proclamations about his ex-
pectations going forward. But he
does think his big catch provided
something much needed for
Cousins going forward.
Now hes got the trust, Doct-
son said.

Silver expects NBA players to stand during the anthem

Commissioner was vague
about consequences
for those who dont
BY T IM B ONTEMPS
President Trumps comments
and tweets about NFL players
who take a knee during the na-
tional anthem and the leagues
response, from owners to players
has dominated headlines since
last weekend. They also have led
to plenty of discussion about
what, if anything, NBA players
will do during the anthem when
preseason games begin this
weekend or when the regular
season begins in less than three
weeks.
There is one significant differ-
ence, however, between the two
leagues: The NFL has no rule
about what players should do
during the anthem. The NBA
does.
We have a rule that requires
our players to stand for the an-
them, NBA Commissioner Adam
Silver said at his news conference
following the conclusion of this
weeks Board of Governors meet-
ings in New York. Its been our
rule for as long as Ive been
involved with the league, and my
expectation is that our players
will continue to stand for the
anthem.
The rule, which states players,
coaches and trainers should re-
main reasonably still, stand tall
in a straight and orderly line, and
Commissioner Adam Silver also announced that the league will change its draft lottery system.
act in a respectful manner
through the period, was enacted
decades ago and was originally
meant as nothing more than to
ensure players werent shooting
around or stretching while the
anthem was being played before
a game.
But now, in the age of Trump,
enforcing the rule could come in
a very different context.
Earlier this week, Golden State
Warriors star Stephen Curry said
he and his teammates still hadnt
decided whether they would do
anything during the anthem. The
Warriors, who were disinvited
from the traditional White House
JULIE JACOBSON/ASSOCIATED PRESS
visit league champions make via
a Trump tweet Saturday an
invitation they likely would have
turned down if given the chance
play in the first preseason
game of the year Saturday eve-
ning when they host the Denver
Nuggets in Oakland, Calif.
When Silver was asked directly
what would happen if a player
chose to kneel or undertake some
other form of protest during the
anthem, he said, If that were to
happen, well deal with it when it
happens.
The leagues operations manu-
al states: Violations of these
rules will subject the team, player
and/or the relevant team person-
nel to appropriate action. In
other words, wide latitude is
given to the league office to levy
discipline in such a matter and
its hard to see how the NBA
would want to wade into a cultur-
al fight with its players, if they
chose to do so, with heavy penal-
ties.
Still, Silver made it clear on
multiple occasions Thursday how
he preferred the players would
handle the situation.
Its my hope our players will
continue to use that as a moment
of unity, Silver said. For exam-
ple, many of our teams locked
arms during the anthem, which I
felt was a respectful show of
unity. Many of our players have
spoken out already about their
plan to stand during the anthem,
and I think they understand how
divisive an issue it is in our
society right now.
The discussion about the an-
them overshadowed several
changes the league made during
its annual preseason gathering.
The most significant were chang-
es in the draft lottery format,
which will be enacted for the 2019
draft, and for the rules governing
resting players, which will go into
effect this season.
Both changes were widely ex-
pected to pass, thanks to backing
from the league office, and did so
easily.
On lottery reform, the league
flattened out the odds at the top
giving the three teams with the
worst records each a 14 percent
chance of winning the top pick.
Previously, the team with the
worst record had a 25 percent
chance at the top pick.
By improving the odds of other
teams and by increasing the
number of lottery drawing spots
from three to four the leagues
goal is to eliminate tanking, the
practice of franchises trying to
lose as many games as possible to
secure the highest possible draft
pick.
The topic of resting players
came to a head last season when
multiple nationally televised
games specifically one featur-
ing the Warriors and San Antonio
Spurs and another between the
Los Angeles Clippers and Cleve-
land Cavaliers were left with
most or all of the stars on both
teams sitting out.
The NBA largely addressed
that issue by changing the sched-
ule this season, adding a week to
the regular season and building
in rest days around the national
TV games in the schedule. But
now if teams choose to rest play-
ers for a national TV game they
can be subject to a $100,000 fine.
In addition, teams that choose to
rest healthy players for large
stretches of the season like the
Phoenix Suns did last year with
guard Eric Bledsoe also could
face league discipline.

Cantor is trends.
On business trips, Falk and his
executive vice president are a

an agent package deal. He and Cantor have

been together for every negotia-
tion over the last decade. They sit

blazing her courtside to watch their clients on

the NBA stage. Cantor, who avoids
the subject of her age, has bristled

own trail at times for being judged on how

CANTOR FROM D1
holds a masters degree. For his
first sponsorship deal, she chose a
bank. The week before training
camp, she flew to Milwaukee to sit
in on his five-hour commercial
shoot, and after Brogdon weighed
in a little lighter than the Bucks
expected, Cantor smoothed
things over with the team. While
there, she also put in face time
with Monroe, dining out and
holding his last contract discus-
sion before he hits free agency in
10 months. By that weekend, Can-
tor was overseeing Porters move
into his new home in Arlington,
which came after F.A.M.E. helped
him negotiate a four-year,
$106 million maximum contract
to remain with the Wizards this
summer.
This ability, to advocate pas-
sionately on behalf of her clients
to NBA general managers or even
moving companies, helped con-
vince Porter to sign with F.A.M.E.
in 2013.
First impression was, God
dang, who is this woman? Porter
said. Shes fierce. She gets stuff
done.
The mother of two young girls,
the Potomac-based Cantor was
recognized this month by Sports-
Business Journal as a Game
Changer, an honor given to
35 women in leadership positions
across sports. While Cantor didnt
even realize she was the only cur-
rent female NBA agent with a
client until she was informed by
the publication, NBPA Executive
Director Michele Roberts said the
fact that there arent more is dis-
heartening.
It is an incredibly, incredibly
competitive field. I suspect that
theres more dirty laundry than I
even want to admit exists, Rob-
erts said. Agents themselves tell
me it really is a raw-knuckled
brawl kind of business. It may be
that its just the kind of work that
women just find distasteful on
some levels. I suspect that not a lot
of women are trying to knock on
these doors, and that disappoints
me.
Growing up, one of the boys
Cantor has never really felt like
a pioneer even though she al-
ways has kind of been one,
stretching back to her days as a
ballgirl in the first season the
then-Washington Bullets hired
girls for the job.
Growing up in Bethesda, it was
normal to be one of the boys.
When Noah Cantor and his bud-
dies played football, so did his
little sister. The peer-like relation-
ship of the Cantor siblings was
cemented one day at their grand-
mothers house when Noah was

teasing Danielle, pinning her
down. She fought back by knock-
ing his front tooth out.
Some of us were probably a
little more scared of her than she
was of us, Noah said.
That intensity translated to the
soccer field, where Danielle was
an All-Met goalkeeper at Whit-
man High. During a Maryland
state finals game for her club
team, the Bethesda Shakers, a
fearless Cantor lunged to stop a
breakaway. The move saved a
goal, but Cantor suffered a con-
cussion. She left the field in an
ambulance.
She was very, very competi-
tive, former Whitman girls soc-
cer coach Sam DeBone said of his
four-year varsity letter winner,
calling her the kind of athlete
every coach would like to have.
In fact, DeBone added, if I light blue eyes and a 67-year-old
had a whole team of Danielle
Cantors, Id be very successful.
A focus on finance
Cantor suffered so many inju-
ries once, as a Bullets ballgirl,
an errant Juwan Howard pass
broke her nose, her second such
injury that she grew adept at
self-diagnosing torn and pulled
muscles. She imagined she would
become a sports physician. But
after tearing her medial collateral
ligament her sophomore year at
Penn and toughing it through one
more soccer season, she chose to
focus on finance. She graduated
from the Wharton School of Busi-
ness and accepted a job at SFX
Sports Management in 2000,
tasked with marketing profes-
sional athletes.
PHOTOS BY SALWAN GEORGES/THE WASHINGTON POST While some of her peers closed
the business day at happy hour,
Cantor remained in the office,
cold-calling Sacramento pizza
shops, grocery chains and car
dealerships to land sponsorship
deals for Mike Bibby, a Kings
player who was a Falk client at the
time.
Falk took notice. By 2007, he

executives. Actually, just one:
Danielle Cantor
Cantor.
Im sort of a bit of a contrari-
an, Falk said. The fact that there
are so few women is like motiva-
tion for me, just to be different. I
like being different. I like setting
the trends instead of following the
the relationship looks. Once,
while in the arena of a Central
Division NBA team, the owners
wife assumed Cantor was Falks
girlfriend.
My goal is to prove myself with
owners and GMs, so they know
who I am and they respect me
which I think has happened, Can-
tor said. But Ive had to work my
a-- off to prove myself.
At the negotiating table, Falk
does most of the talking while
Cantor sits back and observes, her
mind running through the
spreadsheets she has created to
prove their players worth. When
she does speak, its refreshing.
David Falk is a man whos done
an awful lot in this business, to say
the least. Hes a man that people in
this league respect . . . but at times,
everyone needs a buffer and Dan-
ielle is definitely that for David,
said John Hammond, the Orlando
Magic general manager. Danielle
can be sometimes a friendly voice,
a calming influence to some of us,
and I think thats why shes appre-
ciated.
Though on the surface Cantor
is a foil to Falk right down to
their contrasting appearances as
a blonde woman with piercing
bald man their business part-
nership is a match made in Type-A
heaven.
Heres the deal: I like to be
behind the scenes. And I dont like
people talking about me or writ-
ing about me, she said, enunciat-
ing so precisely she bares her
teeth on every consonant. But
when Im in a negotiation, when
Im in a recruiting meeting
game on.
As the partners waited for Por-
ter to join them in the office,
Cantor was very much in the spot-
light, getting coached by Falk as
they squabbled over the direction
of her photo shoot.
Relax. Just relax, Falk said,
watching Cantor glare out of the
window. Dont wrinkle your fore-
head.
Then he offered: Want me to
tell you a joke?
No, Cantor responded, hold-
ing her pose. The photographer
told me not to smile. He said,
Look natural.
She expressed how uncomfort-
able this felt, particularly the at-
tention, because this is a game she
would much rather play in the
shadows. Her goal is to be respect-
ed, not recognized. Besides, shes
busy.
While she was tied up with the
shoot, Falk asked whether he
should make an important call
that was on her to-do list. Cantor
responded bluntly: No. Please
dont.
Falk got the message, turning
away and smiling.
Shes the boss, he said.

For Midshipmen, its business as usual in 3-0 start
BY A VA W ALLACE
Despite his track record as the
longest-tenured, winningest
coach in Navy football history,
Ken Niumatalolo wasnt exactly
expected to have the Midship-
men barreling toward a 4-0 start
to a season that began with whis-
pers of the dreaded word re-

Navy began 2017 with a quar-

starts and three new starting
offensive linemen after graduat-
ing 14 first-stringers in total. The
team was picked to finish third in
the West Division of the Ameri-
can Athletic Conference after fin-

and its champion in 2016.

The Midshipmen will head to
Tulsa (1-3) on Saturday in posi-
tion to go 4-0 for just the second
time in Niumatalolos decade-
long tenure and the third time in
the past 38 years. The last time

with injuries.

with a higher number, according
to the complaint. The complaint
repeatedly refers to Coach-2,
but people familiar with the case

mind-set, as well as the continu-
ity of the coaching staff, as much
as he does his players for keeping
Navy on track this season.
This is a team thats going to
be resilient. Hopefully guys dont
get hurt, but its part of football,
unfortunately, part of sports. Peo-
ple get hurt. In life, people get
hurt, so the next person has to
step up, Niumatalolo said at
practice Wednesday. Really sad
for Tre because he was having a
phenomenal game, but I was
happy for Josh Brown and John
Brown III, who came in and did
really well. . . . I was pleased with
the young guys stepping up and
doing well.
His team also has been steeled
by its penchant for grinding out
close victories. The Midshipmen
played eight games decided by
eight points or fewer last season,
winning five; in their second
game of this season they held off
Tulane, 23-21.
Our games are always close. I
wish we could beat people like
Alabama does, but were the Na-
val Academy; our games are al-
ways close. We have to find a way
to make sure we win games and
dont lose them. Thats why Im
such a stickler on ball security,
penalties, missed assignments.
. . . So Im encouraged by us
finding ways to win close games.
It kind of builds your character,
ethical business practices, the
company said.
In that same Las Vegas meet-

All [Pitino has to do] is pick up

Palmer lit up when told of his

Mode.
The Jaguars also were led by a
talented running back. Juwon

your mental toughness, and we
know were going to have a lot of
those types of games.
Moored by its culture, Navy
also saw on-field improvement
Saturday.
Junior quarterback Zach
Abeys ball security was a big
issue in the first two games, and
Abey worked with Niumatalolo
and offensive coordinator Ivin
Jasper during the bye week to
tweak the way he had been hold-
ing the football (coaches noticed
he had been palming it rather
than applying pressure with his
fingers). Abey finished Saturdays
victory without throwing an in-
terception or losing a fumble for
the first time all season.
And in a game that required
the teams younger ball carriers
to step up, sophomore slotback
Malcolm Perry rushed for 100
yards, his first career 100-yard
game. Slotback Josh Brown, who
had two rushing touchdowns,
said the win over the Bearcats felt
like a step forward for this years
offense.
I think rushing for 500-plus
yards is a definite confidence
booster, especially compared to
our first two games, Brown said.
Hopefully we can just ride that
wave throughout the rest of the
season and just keep going up
and up.

was a surprise; Bowen, who grew
up in Saginaw, Mich., before
moving to Indiana, had been
expected to choose from Michi-

In a radio interview after Bow-

pressed amazement at how easy
it had been to land the star
recruit.
In my 40 years of coaching,
this is the luckiest Ive been, he
said.
On Tuesday, Louisville placed
Pitino, 65, on administrative
leave pending further review.

ANDREW GOMBERT/EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO
AGENCY-EFE/REX/SHUTTERSTOCK
Bill Clinton, George W. Bush
and Barack Obama were all
present Thursday.
GOLF ROUNDUP
Former
presidents
watch U.S.
take lead
A SSOCIATED P RESS
The opening ceremony at the
Presidents Cup was unlike any
other in golf with former presi-
dents Barack Obama, George W.
Bush and Bill Clinton on the first
tee.
The results were all too famil-
iar.
The Americans led at some
point in all five of the foursomes
matches Thursday at Liberty Na-
tional in Jersey City. They won
the first three. And when they
jumped on a ferry to take them
across the New York Harbor to
their Manhattan hotel, they had
the lead.
Behind a new tandem of Rickie
Fowler and Justin Thomas and an
old one of Jordan Spieth and
Patrick Reed, the Americans
jumped out to a 31/2-11/2 lead. It was
the sixth consecutive time they
led after the opening session in
an event they havent lost in two
decades.
Jordan mentioned that this
first session is pretty critical and
we need to go out there and take
care of business, Fowler said. I
feel like as a team, we did a really
good job of that. If we can do the
same thing tomorrow and win
another session, it puts us in a
great position.
Thomas and Fowler lost only
two holes in a 6-and-4 victory
over Hideki Matsuyama and
Charl Schwartzel. Spieth and
Reed improved to 6-1-2 as a tan-
dem in the Presidents Cup and
Ryder Cup. Spieth holed a 35-foot
putt on the 11th hole right when it
looked as if Emiliano Grillo and
Si Woo Kim might gain some
momentum. Instead, the match
was over three holes later, 5 and 4.
Dustin Johnson and Matt
Kuchar remained unbeaten in
four matches, not taking the lead
until the 16th hole and making it
stand in a 1-up victory over Adam
Scott and Jhonattan Vegas.
Weve been off to poor starts
for a while on Thursdays, Inter-
national captain Nick Price said.
We have a resilient team. They
have this ability to come back and
bounce back, and they have done
it. They did it last time in Korea.
Indeed, the Americans had a
4-1 lead after the first session two
years ago, and that Presidents
Cup came down to the final
match.
Phil Mickelson, playing in his
23rd consecutive team competi-
tion, ended the tough, wind-
swept afternoon at Liberty Na-
21
tional by missing an eight-foot
58 par putt or the U.S. lead would
have been even greater. He and
Kevin Kisner were 1 down with
two holes remaining to Jason Day
and Marc Leishman, so a half-
point wasnt bad.
Mickelsons only complaint
was that he botched his selfie
with the presidents, with barely
his head showing.

LPGA: Canadian Brooke
Henderson and Jodi Ewart Shad-
off of England shot 7-under-par
65s to share the lead in the New
Zealand Womens Open, leaving
home star Lydia Ko five strokes
back after the first round.
The playing partners led by
one stroke over Amy Boulden of
Wales and Belen Mozo of Spain,
with American Brittany Linci-
come, Beatriz Recari of Spain and
South Koreas Na Yeon Choi an-
other stroke back after 67s.
The New Zealand Open is on
47
6
the LPGA Tour for the first time
this year.
Henderson and Ewart Shadoff
took advantage of easier morning
conditions before the winds
picked up on the newly estab-
lished Windross Farm course east
of Auckland.
Going out there I knew I had
to take advantage of the good
conditions, Ewart Shadoff said.
I putted well today. I think the
greens are great. . . . They are
running really true.

BY F RITZ H AHN
After a year of pop-ups featur-

ever-changing bars on Seventh
Street in Shaw is taking a decid-
edly darker turn.
P.U.B. (short for pop-up bar)
Dread, which will be open daily
starting Sunday and through Hal-
loween, features rooms trans-
formed into a haunted forest out
of a creepy slasher flick; a doll-
house filled with the staring, un-
blinking eyes of dozens of old
dolls; and a graveyard packed
with coffins and tombstones.
The decorations are under
wraps, but expect them to be
incredibly detailed. In keeping
with previous bars, there will be
animatronic elements to surprise
guests. They will be more creepy
than jumpy, Drink Company co-
owner Derek Brown says. We

their drink.
If the roaring success of the
Game of Thrones pop-up taught
the team anything, Brown says,
its that its not enough just to
have a cool theme. As we go
along, we confirm more and more
that people really love an immer-
sive environment, he explains.
Halloween lends itself to that
very easily. Ultimately, the rooms
are tied together and create this
whole Halloween world. Its
creepy, spooky and occasionally
outright scary, but in the end,
youre drinking amazing cock-
tails. Youre just doing it while a
doll stares at you.
The cocktails, crafted by bar
manager Paul Taylor, include
Brains, a riff on the classic Zom-
bie cocktail, served in a skull-
shaped tiki glass and garnished
with a candy brain; the rum-and-
pumpkin-and-spice David S.

Before becoming an ice cream
mogul, Britton Bauer tried on
many hats: She attended pastry
school, dropped out of art school

disciplines have influenced the
way she develops flavors partic-

aromas in ice cream, rather than

life, she says. You only taste five

salty, sour, bitter and umami. Ev-
erything else is in your nose.
What followed was a mad-sci-

opment: rose petal, black pepper,

Q: Im a big fan of French bistro-
type food. Years ago (well,
decades, actually) I used to go to
La Chaumire. The last time I
was there I had the calf s brains,
which were rich and custardy
and oh so good. I thought I
would check in and see whether
youd been there at all recently,
and what you thought of it. I
know there are so many new
and exciting restaurants here,
but every now and then, its nice
to visit an old friend.
A: As a matter of fact, I dipped
into the venerable La
Chaumire just yesterday,
where I enjoyed a respectable
boudin blanc with sauteed
apples and sliced veal with
piped potatoes and a lemon-
caper sauce. Although I like the
beamed dining room best in fall
and winter, when the hearth in
the center of the room is active,
it was a treat to see some
familiar faces, including that of
the maitre d, who used to own
La Colline on the Hill. Good
times.

have recommendations of
historically significant
restaurants that can offer a great
dining experience, as well. I

The reason I brought up
Palena so much was twofold: I
wanted to give readers who
didnt know the chef s long
history some perspective and
establish why I was
disappointed by some but
certainly not all of what I
encountered in his new venture.
The price at the restaurant was
too high to overlook some flaws.
It was a coup for the
restaurant to get someone of
Knowless stature, and service is
a big issue in Washington, which
is why I spent time writing
about her.
I have nothing personal
against anyone associated with
the restaurant, and I dont think
I was cheerleading for any one
player. I just expected more
consistent deliciousness, thats
all.
Q: My husband and I ate at All-
Purpose on Saturday night for
the first time and were
celebrating a special occasion.
We ordered one dessert to share,
which the waiter indicated was
his favorite dessert on the
menu. When he brought it out,
he brought a second dessert and
said, I hope you dont mind I
also brought out my second-
favorite dessert for you to try.

. FRIDAY,
teacher!)
The owners of Esaan, a tiny
Thai eatery carved out of the
blink-and-you-missed-it Social
THE WASHINGTON POST
Restaurant and Oyster Bar in
McLean, have devised a novel
digital response to that opening
inquiry: A server pulls out an
iPad and scrolls through photos
of fully prepared dishes, one by
one. By one. By one. By one. By
one.
Sorry, I was just experiencing a
flashback.
You can understand why Es-
Youll sit through a slideshow before you order,
but the lasting images are whats on the plate
aan wants to present diners with
the culinary equivalent of a mug-
shot book before dinner. (This
dish here has been known to
assault a number of guests, much
to their liking.) Despite the pres-
ence of Little Serow, Baan Thai
and other critical darlings that
trade on the leaner, meaner qual-
ities of Isaan (or Esaan; spellings
vary) cuisine in the northeast,
many folks still associate Thai
cooking with green curry, coco-
nut milk and pad thai, the flavors
of the central and southern re-
gions of the country.
The first time I dined at Esaan,
I felt like a 10-year-old again,
sitting through a Kodak slide
show of my aunt and uncles trip
to Hawaii. My server literally
flipped through 20-plus photos,
oblivious that I had started
watching cat videos on my
phone. (I joke!) The place had
turned its educational opportu-
nity into a hostage situation. I
silently wondered whether I
should call the State Department,
or whatevers left of it. (I joke
again!)
I belabor this point because,
other than that re-education
camp at the table, I adore Esaan.
The restaurant customizes the
often-nuclear northeastern Thai
experience to your comfort level:
mild, medium, hot or Kim Jong
Un. The owners will even prime
you for the heat with some
exotic-sounding drinks that, on
closer inspection, are merely
classic cocktails disguised with
Thai accents. You can have your

Vietnamese, Cambodian and
Thai influences. Green papaya
salad has become a staple
throughout Southeast Asia, but
Esaan serves up a version (among
several on its menu) that reminds
you that the dishs origins lie in
Laos. The threads of unripe papa-
ya in the somtum muor look as if
they were shaved from different
fruit, their flesh inky from pla ra,
an opaque and particularly pun-
gent fish sauce common to the
region. Its a salad, hot and flavor-
ful, that leaves behind a perma-
nent footprint.
Sticky rice is a daily bread of
the Isaan table, used as both a
utensil and a salve for your
scorched tongue. At Esaan, the
kitchen offers miniature baskets
of black sticky rice, whose name
is misleading. The glutinous
grains are actually the color of a
nice Bordeaux, with the nuttiness
and toothsomeness of their wild-
rice cousins. When pressed into a
chewy scoop, the rice serves as an
excellent base and insulator for
almost everything on the menu,
particularly Esaans lengthy list
of salads.
Many of these salads are not
veg-friendly. Theyre meat-for-
ward preparations, such as the
classic minced-meat salad
known as larb, an Isaan dish that
has been muzzled, tamed and
pranced around on countless
Thai menus. Esaan lets its salads
remain feral, or as feral as youd
like: meaty dishes accented with
lime, fish sauce, chile peppers,
toasted rice powder and fresh
herbs, the flavors as direct as a
drill sergeant. The highlights in-
clude the moo nam tok, a grilled
pork shoulder salad thats given a
swift umami kick in the (pork)
butt, and the yum kai zapp, a
fried chicken salad lifted high on
a cloud of lemon grass.

TOP: The kai kra ta features
crumbled pork, Vietnamese cha
lua sausage and two sunny-side-
up eggs. ABOVE: Co-owner
Angie Rattanabanharn and chef
Polasate Rodanant.
Esaan buries a whole chicken
leg in its relaxed, coconut-milky
preparation of khao soi, a noodle
soup that, while delicious, will
not supplant the standard-bearer
at Baan Thai. The better bowl
here is the tom zapp moo, a
full-bodied, soft bone pork soup
that runs hot and sour with
galangal and lemon grass. The
kai yang Esaan, a marinated and
grilled Cornish hen, reaches its
full potential when dunked in a
pair of side sauces, like the Isaan
equivalent of Peruvian rotisserie
chicken.
The kitchen aims high with its
appetizers, and sometimes hits
the mark. The kai kra ta is a
mouthwatering review of porcine
products, including crumbled
pork and Vietnamese cha lua
sausage, each enriched with the
yolks of two sunny-side-up eggs.
Its downhill from there with the
starters, although the wizened
chicken wingettes, spiked with
galangal and garlic, taste better
than they look. Much the same
could be said for the beige des-
serts, the best of which is a dish of
sticky rice topped with custard,
at once warm, cool and sweet.
One of Esaans owners has
connections not only to the de-
parted Social, but also to Pasa
Thai, a more conventional Thai
restaurant around the corner.
The partners have done little to
the space in preparation for the
new concept: It boasts the same
weathered boards, the same tiny
bar, the same vintage BMW mo-
torcycle propped up in a corner.
In this way, Esaan resembles so
many other strip-center eateries
devoted to immigrant cuisines: It
has taken over a former restau-
rant site and instantly made it
sing, without any of the baubles
needed in more refined settings.

ASK TOM FROM 8
So nice we enjoyed trying
both. However, we were
surprised to find the second
dessert on our bill.
Is it strange to bring patrons
something they didnt order
and then charge for it, or is
that some new practice?
Obviously, we ate it and
enjoyed it, and we werent
going to let the small
additional charge ruin our
night, but it was kind of
annoying.
A: Ouch. Dessert your last
impression of an otherwise
awesome restaurant leaves a
sour taste, but only because
what had been presented as a
gift was in fact charged to your
bill.
I would have said
something along the lines of
You sent this out as on the
house or were we
mistaken? At any rate, your
waiter should be ashamed of
himself. Bad form.
Q: This is more a public
service announcement than a
question: Pineapple and
Pearls policy announced
upon booking and in follow-up
reminders is to charge half
the prix-fixe cost for your
party upon booking and the
balance on the reservation
date, with a refund of the first
available only if the
reservation is canceled at least
five days out. I reserved dinner
at the bar for my husband and
myself in July. My husband,
whos an active-duty military
officer stationed overseas, was
flying in for a few days, and I
booked us for the night he was
scheduled to arrive. He arrived
on time and went straight to
the emergency room with
hallucinations and a 106-
degree fever. Very scary. I
called the restaurant,
repeatedly, as I was driving to
the hospital to advise that we
wouldnt be coming; no one
picked up, and voicemail
wasnt offered. I sent an email.
My husband spent the night in
the hospital but recovered. I
heard from the restaurant the
next day: They very kindly
inquired about my husbands
welfare (good) but explained
that they did not make
exceptions to their
cancellation policy and would
not offer either a refund or a
credit (wow). Is this policy, as
implemented, reasonable? On
one hand, they advised me in
advance, and I implicitly
consented to the terms. On the
other hand, come on, really?
A: I reached out to chef-owner
Aaron Silverman, who
provided the following
response:
11
EZ
When competing in a
market such as ours (fine
dining) it is becoming
necessary and often common
practice to treat the experience
like that of a sporting event or
a concert/show; treating it like
the sale of a ticket. Just like a
concert or show, when one
gets sick or has to cancel for
any last-minute reason, you
unfortunately forfeit the
ticket. With that said, we only
apply this policy for
cancellations within 24 hours
of the experience.
Cancellations made prior to 24
hours are issued refunds of
varying amounts depending
on the timing of the
cancellation (five days, three
days, etc). This type of policy is
something we have to stick to
in order to provide the
experience we do at the price
point we offer.
In situations like these, please
know that our front-of-house
and guest liaison team do not
take it lightly. We understand
that dinner with us is oftentimes
a celebratory event and
something that our guests have
been looking forward to for
quite some time, so when
situations like these arise, we do
our best to offer options if they
are available. We offer guests [a
chance] to transfer their
reservation to friends or family
members, and we reach out to
concierges in the area with calls
to see if they might have guests
that have interest in dining with
us and filling the open seats. I
can assure you that last-minute
cancellations keep our staff up at
night more than any other issue.
For us, the only fair way to
handle these situations is to
firmly hold to our policy,
because otherwise we would
then be in the business of
quantifying hardship, which is
an inconceivable practice. In
our ideal world, circumstances
would be different, but we

with what we are given.
Tom, here: While Im
sympathetic to both the

14th Streets new two-story ramen shop, sure to be simmering hot

BY H OLLEY S IMMONS

Monday marked the opening of

Jinya, a Los Angeles-based ramen
shop, on 14th Street after almost
two years in the making. At two
levels and 4,000 square feet, the
new restaurant which joins a
sibling that opened last year in
Fairfax dwarfs other ramen
shops in the area, including Dai-
kaya, Toki Underground, Haikan
and Oki Bowl.
The menu, available for lunch
and dinner, is also much larger by
comparison.
Guests choose from six differ-
ent tonkotsu (pork) broth bowls;
five chicken broth bowls; and two

small plates, snacks and curries

round out the menu.
Bring friends so you can try as
much as possible, and be sure to
include a bowl from the tonkotsu
offerings, stewed with whole pork
bones for more than 10 hours.
Prepared on-site daily and avail-
able in thin, medium, extra-thick
or spinach varieties, the noodles
are aged for three days.
The spicy umami miso ramen
made with ground pork, bean
sprouts, green onion and bok
choy stood out over the spicy
chicken bowl sampled on a recent
visit. The unctuous pork broth
arrived swimming with chile oil
and was so fatty it lingered on the
slide down the throat.
Filled with a delicately sea-
soned blend of pork in nearly
translucent dumpling wrappers,
the gyoza pot stickers crunch

Food lovers are flocking to Annandale for
one culinary wonderland, and three planned
food halls will get a bite of the action.

in a school bus.
Thats where
Arturo Mei launched SnoCream,
a Taiwanese shaved-ice shop
based out of a parking lot in
Clarendon, in 2014. The fluffy
dessert, a cross between ice
cream and shaved ice, came in
such flavors as black sesame,
Thai tea and vanilla latte.
Crowds became so big that Mei
moved the bus to a larger space
with better hours an
Annandale strip mall where
the landlord of a vacant property,
enticed by the long lines,
approached Mei about a 5,000-
square-foot parcel.
Mei transformed that empty
space into the Block, a buzzing
culinary playground home to a
permanent location of

franchise. It also has stalls
serving Thai street food and
Asian comfort food.
Visitors can bounce stall to
stall devouring modern Asian
dishes prepared by a young crop
of chefs. Although the menus are
small, theyre always evolving.
People like the variety and
the vibe of the Block, says Mei,
who left a lucrative finance gig in
Los Angeles to start SnoCream.
It keeps them coming back.
THE WASHINGTON POST
Food courts are nothing new,
but food halls like the Block
represent a slightly new trend,
backed by a higher level of
culinary quality and heft. In the
Northeast quadrant of the
District, theres Union Market, a
former produce market turned
into a shiny hub for independent
grocers and small stands, selling
Venezuelan arepas and fresh
pastas. Grace Street Market in
Georgetown houses a handful of
D.C.-born businesses, including
Sundevich sandwiches, South
Block Juice and Grace Street
Coffee.
More are on the way. Three
new food halls are planned for
the region: near Union Market,
James Beard Award-winning
chef Jose Garcess Latin
American themed marketplace;
in Tysons Galleria, Mike
Isabellas outpost of Graffiato,
Kapnos, Pepita and six other
concepts; and in the Wharf
development, Nicholas
Stefanelli, of Masseria, will open
a three-level, 13,000-square-foot
Italian food hall, complete with a
salumeria, a cheese cave, a
butcher shop, a wine boutique
and prepared foods.
For consumers, these halls
serve as a one-stop shop where
they can try myriad dishes from
a number of chefs under one roof
a blessing when Mom has a
gluten allergy, sis doesnt eat
meat and Dad has the palate of a
4-year-old. For budding food
producers, its a chance to test
out a concept without
undertaking the financial risks
of a stand-alone bricks-and-
mortar operation. And as for
location: It can drive traffic to
as is the case with the Block an
otherwise isolated area.
Before the Block opened, that
strip malls crown jewel was a
Kmart. Today, the hall draws
young, experience-hungry
visitors who hang out at
communal tables dining on
braised-beef rice bowls,
Taiwanese fried chicken and
pork belly french fries.
Even Meis business associates
have been surprised by the
crowds: My landlord was like,
Wow, I never expected so many

made with ahi tuna, green and
sweet onion, seaweed, cucumber,
chili flakes, sesame seeds and a
light soy-sauce-and-ginger
dressing.
Everything is sourced through
local businesses except for the
sauce, which Pokworks supplies
for consistency. The kitchen
chops and piles fresh fish, which
arrives daily, atop your choice of
white rice, brown rice or quinoa.

FRIED CHICKEN TACOS ($9)
AT BALO KITCHEN
The fried chicken tacos at Balo
arent your average tacos. To
start, the shell is made from roti
canai, a Malaysian flatbread
thats denser and flakier than a
traditional tortilla. Its filled with
boneless chicken thighs, which
have been marinated in a tangy
blend of soy sauce and five spice,
battered in sweet potato flour,
deep-fried and topped with
pickled carrots, scallions and
Sriracha mayonnaise. The meat
is crispy but not greasy, and the
buttery roti canai enhances the
tender chickens umami flavors.

arry Seal, a real-life, albeit
minor, figure in the Iran-
contra scandal, takes cen-
ter stage in the fact-based
yet heavily fictionalized Ameri-

ures as Oliver North (Robert Far-

narration from late 1985 and ear-
ly 1986, just before the films
improbable but true-ish events
come crashing down around him.
The Barry we first meet is as
much Cruise as Seal, a roguish
TWA pilot who is at once more
handsome and charming than the
guy on whom this story is based
ever could have been, and less
straight-arrow a character than
The true-ish
story of a
roguish pilot
Fact-based comedy with Tom Cruise tells the story of
an antihero drug-runner during Iran-contra scandal
were used to seeing the actor
play. As the film opens, Barry is
shown creating turbulence from
the cockpit of his plane, jerking
the nose of his jet violently up and
down to wake his sleeping co-
pilot. Sully Sullenberger he
aint.
Almost immediately thereaf-
ter, Barry is shown being recruit-
ed by a CIA handler called, pseud-
onymously, Schafer (Domhnall
Gleeson), to undertake an aerial
photo reconnaissance of insur-
gents in Central America. Just as
quickly, this patriotic mission
leads to a side gig as a drug
courier for the Medellin cartel in
Colombia, through a combina-
tion of cinematically convenient
but historically implausible coer-
cion and sweet-talk involving
an offer of $2,000 per kilo of
cocaine transported. Before you
know it, Barry is simultaneously
running drugs, weapons and the
Nicaraguan freedom fighters
known as contras between South
and Central America and his
home base in Mena, Ark., where
he employs a crew of four fellow
pilots, all under the winking eye
of Schafer. Theres so much cash
being made that it overflows from
Samsonite suitcases, with bills
sticking out like cartoonish cor-
ruption markers.
And thats really what Ameri-
can Made is: a cartoon. Shot with
the grainy colors of a yellowed
photo album from the 80s, the
movie takes a larky and entertain-
ing look at a chapter of U.S.
history through a funhouse mir-
ror, darkened only slightly by the
shadow of violence that looms
over it, but it rarely clouds the
films sunny demeanor. Unlike the
real events, this tale is largely a
consequence-free one, despite the
central presence of such figures as
Pablo Escobar (Mauricio Meja),
the notoriously violent drug lord,
and his cohorts Jorge Ochoa (Ale-
jandro Edda) and Carlos Lehder
(Fredy Yate Escobar). Before the
films ignominious conclusion,
real violence rears its head only
once, in the form of a car bomb.
Liman knows how to keep the
convoluted, almost impossibly
far-fetched story on the rails,
without losing our attention, and
he adds many details that will
bring a smile. Unlike the CIA of
the directors The Bourne Identi-
ty, for instance a sleekly effi-
cient, high-tech world of shadowy
operatives and Machiavellian
control the agency that Scha-
fer works for is an incompetent,
fluorescent-lit cubicle farm popu-
lated by paper-pushing desk jock-
eys.
Cruise, for his part, seems al-
most too big for the part, a super-
UNIVERSAL PICTURES
star slumming as a slightly seedy
bagman. But he brings a game
willingness to get down and dirty
as Barry his tooth is knocked
out while the character is arrest-
ed. For much of the film, hes
covered with sweat, grime, blood
or in one scene, after crash-
landing his plane in a residential
neighborhood while eluding air-
borne DEA agents cocaine. Its
outlandish stuff all right, but
probably only a little bit more
preposterous than the true story.
Its also pretty funny.
Until, suddenly, it isnt. Al-
though American Made spins a
yarn of scot-free malfeasance, all
the money and coke and chica-
nery must eventually come to an
end, as it did in real life. Even as
Cruise keeps us rooting for Barry,
Liman reminds us that this is a
story of bad guys. The ballad of
Barry Seal doesnt end very well,
but it does better by us or at
least those of us who are looking
for a shred of verisimilitude.
American Made closes this
chapter of punch-drunk history,
not with the titter of forced laugh-
ter, but with a real-world bang.

Victoria and Abdul begins
with a disclaimer. The drama
about Queen Victorias friendship
with one of her servants an
Indian clerk named Abdul Karim,
whose close relationship with his
boss scandalized the Victorian
court is based on true events
. . . mostly, according to an on-
screen title.
Its not entirely clear, however,
exactly which part of the story is
loosey-goosey. Directed by Ste-
again plays Victoria.)
The little wink-wink of that
on-screen warning may simply be
a way to alert viewers not to the
fact that the story isnt told
straight, but to the fact that it isnt
told with a straight face. Frears
and Hall cant seem to resist
turning the scandalized reaction
of the aristocratic bluenoses to
Victorias relationship with her
Muslim manservant chiefly
embodied by Eddie Izzard in the
role of Victorias priggish son

The Unknown Girl



Strange symptoms recur in mesmerizing thriller
BY M ICHAEL O S ULLIVAN
A mystery lies at the heart of
The Unknown Girl, but it isnt
the one you think. When a young
sex worker (Ange-Dborah Gou-
lehi) is found dead under suspi-
cious circumstances near the of-
fice of Jenny Davin (Adle
Haenel), a young doctor working
in Belgium, Jenny is plagued by
the thought that she might have
prevented the death if only she
had opened the locked door to her
practice when the unidentified
woman rang her bell, apparently
seeking assistance. But it was late
at night, the office was closed and
what has been done cannot be
undone.
Or can it?
The themes of guilt and atone-
ment hang heavy over this quietly
mesmerizing drama, written and
directed by sibling Belgian film-
makers Jean-Pierre and Luc
Dardenne (Two Days, One
Night). Jenny quickly becomes
obsessed, not with solving the
crime if one has even been
committed but with finding out
who the dead woman was.
Make that who she is. As Jenny
Stopping Traffic: The Movement to
End Sex-Trafficking

 
First-person accounts
underscore a tragedy
BY M ARK J ENKINS
As a response to the wide-
spread and systematic sexual
abuse of children, the documen-
tary Stopping Traffic: The Move-
ment to End Sex-Trafficking is
inadequate. But then, any film
would be, given the scale of the
problem. There are 27 million
victims annually, according to
one advocate quoted in the mov-
ie. As an endnote acknowledges,
such statistics are unreliable and
probably understated.
That, of course, is because traf-
ficking and prostitution are
crimes, but also because theyre
taboo and shocking. So director
Sadhvi Siddhali Shree begins
with candid testimony from a
survivor of child sex abuse, John
A. King, whos now an activist. His
words alone make the movie a

The film visits Thailand, Viet-

Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes for Lizards

 
If youre not a shoe fan, you wont be pumped up
BY C HRISTOPHER K OMPANEK
There are two kinds of people
who know Manolo Blahnik: those
who own or long to own a
pair of the shoe designers lavish
heels, and those who, like the rest
of us, are aware of the name only
through the gushings of Sex and
the City protagonist Carrie
Bradshaw. The real-life Carrie,
writer Candice Bushnell, appears
briefly in the documentary
Manolo: The Boy Who Made
Shoes for Lizards, along with a
clip from the show in which
Carrie begs a mugger not to take
her Manolo Blahniks.
The film, by fashion journalist
and first-time director Michael
Roberts, will appeal to the de-
signers most ardent devotees, in
the barrage of effusive praise the
filmmaker has assembled from
such fashion-world elites as edi-
tors Anna Wintour and Andr
Leon Talley (who compares Blah-
nik to French poet Charles
Baudelaire). These moments
would play well at an honorary
gala but make for a less than
compelling film portrait. Wheth-
er fashion can rise to the level of
art is a question that largely goes
unexamined save for the en-
thusiastic films implied answer.
Similarly, Robertss inter-
views with Blahnik himself ven-
ture only into shallow waters.
We learn that the designer grew
up in the idyllic Canary Islands
and that one of his earliest
memories is of making shoes for
lizards out of candy wrappers

detail is otherwise glossed over,
save for an animated title se-
quences that echoes the levity of
the Pink Panther films. The
subject of Blahniks sexuality is
lagers livestock and sometimes
on villagers themselves.
At first, the film seems to vilify
hunting, as Shaul and Clusiau
take us to the Safari Club conven-
tion, a Las Vegas showcase for
wealthy hunters willing to shell
out tens and even hundreds of
thousands of dollars for the op-
portunity to go after what are
known as the big five: buffaloes,
leopards, lions, elephants and rhi-
nos. (Bagging a rhino in its native
habitat will set you back
$350,000.)
Footage of hunters laughing as
they pose for photos with their kill
will probably strike many viewers
as horrifying. But, as the filmmak-
ers make clear, there can be rea-
sons to hunt, apart from sport. In
addition to controlling such dan-
gerous predators, the meat from a
single elephant can feed an entire

might have otherwise gone hun-

Late in the film, the directors
take us to a rally protesting the
killing of Cecil, a beloved, (and
nearly tame) lion that had been an
attraction at a park in Zimbabwe,
and whose 2015 death became a
rallying cry for anti-hunting activ-
ists worldwide. We will shame
these people, one protester says,
unwilling to entertain that there
might be another side to the emo-
tionally fraught story.
To its credit, Trophy neither
shames its subjects nor offers an
easy solution. Rather, it takes a
reasoned and thought-provoking
view from many angles of a
problem for which there is, as
Trophy argues, no quick or sim-
ple fix.

Blahnik possesses an inherently
captivating cinematic charisma.
It could be enough to drive the
film, if only he bared more of his
soul. After a news clip is shown of
violent political upheaval in 1968
Paris, the designer admits, with a
nervous laugh, that Ive never
had any political beliefs. His
friend, jewelry designer Paloma
Picasso, recalls when a young
Blahnik holed himself up in his
shop.
Blahniks life appears to be
solely driven by his work a
singular sort of obsession that
has been captured in such great
documentaries as Errol Morriss

and Ethan Hawkes quietly fasci-
nating Seymour: An Introduc-
tion. The central problem here is
that Roberts seems too blinded
by the halo that hes placed atop
his subject. There are only so
many ways to say that someone is
great, and they all lose their
luster long before the closing
credits. This is partly due to the
films overly conventional style,
which feels especially jarring,
given how much is said about
Blahniks unparalleled verve.

the stoned high jinks of Cheech

in which royal security officers
harass a Muslim family and burn

which a man coughs up blood. A
dead body is shown, and a few
racist remarks are said in
reference to Abdul. It has a clear
message about very different
people being able to bond over
universal experiences and
