Can Lamont McKoy convince the Supreme Court that he’s innocent with new evidence?
BY R ACHEL W EINER
Lamont McKoy had been in
prison for five years when he
reached out to the police.
“I’m not trying to be a nui-
sance,” he wrote in his 1995 letter
to a Fayetteville, N.C., officer. “But
please help me out of this mess.”
Four years earlier, McKoy had
been convicted of murdering My-
ron Hailey in a drug deal gone
bad. McKoy, 18 years old at the
time of his arrest, said he had
heard rumors at the time that a
man named William “Rat Rat”
Talley was truly responsible. Now
McKoy named 10 people he
thought might say as much to law
enforcement.
Police didn’t need McKoy’s
help. As part of a federal task
force investigating Fayetteville’s
“Court Boys” gang, the officer had
already heard four cooperators
name Talley as the shooter. And
months before McKoy sent his
letter, a federal prosecutor had
stood up in court and told a jury
in Talley’s drug trial that, even

A long-disputed Appalachian
natural gas pipeline could be on a
fast track to completion as part of
the new debt ceiling deal.
President Biden and House Re-

It is another White House con-
cession to Manchin, who has long
championed the 303-mile pipe-
line, which would carry West Vir-
ginia shale gas to the East Coast
but has been tripped up by dozens
of environmental violations and a
slew of court fights. Environmen-
talists have fought the project
since its inception, and the new
provision aims to block them from
challenging almost all govern-
ment approvals for the line to cut
across federal forests and dozens
of waterways in Appalachia’s hilly,
wet terrain.
It is one of only a few energy and
climate provisions to make the
deal, drawing ire from pipeline
opponents and climate activists.

understood, with a lack of medi-
cal evidence to explain or treat
their symptoms and little impetus
for researchers to dedicate their
careers to such confounding cas-
es.
“Those fears are very well-
grounded,” said Emily Taylor, vice
president for advocacy and en-
gagement at Solve m.E., a non-
profit for people with myalgic
encephalomyelitis/chronic fa-
tigue syndrome, known as mE/
CfS.
“What we know from mE/CfS
and other post-viral diseases is
that the recovery rate drops after
about four years,” Taylor said.
Taylor helped organize an April
meeting in Washington where
long-haulers joined with Solve
m.E. to lobby lawmakers to de-
vote dollars to addressing a range
of post-viral conditions through
the Care for Long Covid Act.
That show of unity comes as
divisions have emerged among
long-haulers, some of whom are
less ready than others to accept
that the rest of the country has
doffed its masks and is moving
on.
“What navigating the pandem-
ic has come down to is individual
choices,” said maria Town, presi-
dent of the American Association
of People With Disabilities who
noted that hundreds of people are
still dying from covid every day
while others become disabled.
“With the end of the public health
emergency, it is going to be even
harder for people to make in-
public health emergency. rules
for reporting test results have
been relaxed, making it harder to
tell where the coronavirus is prev-
alent. Tens of millions of Ameri-
cans will have to determine
whether they remain eligible for
medicaid benefits. And despite
the Biden administration’s deci-
sion to extend access to controlled
substances through telehealth for
six months, many patients feel
vulnerable to further changes in a
policy they have come to rely on.
They are already navigating
disconcerting changes in their
doctors’ offices.
“In addition to feeling left be-
hind on a conceptual level, many
patients are feeling unsafe in
accessing medical care. They
don’t know who to trust to be
masked,” said David f. Putrino,
director of rehabilitation innova-
tion at mount Sinai Health Sys-
tem in New York. The end of the
health emergency will result in “a
lot more cases,” he warned.
for people with long covid, the
specter of reinfection looms —
and it’s not clear how dangerous
reinfection is. one support group,
the Patient-Led research Collab-
orative for long covid, recently
released a survey to assess the
impact, aiming to fill that vacuum
in public health knowledge.
michelle Haddad, a neuropsy-
chologist who runs a long-covid
clinic at Emory rehabilitation
Hospital in Atlanta, said the risk
of reinfection has heightened
anxiety for some patients, exacer-

bating PTSD. one patient, an
emergency room physician who
developed severe long-covid
symptoms after contracting covid
in 2020, got a second case in 2022.
“He was back at square one,”
Haddad said. “It’s so dishearten-
ing.”
A study of almost 10,000 adults
released Thursday as part of the
National Institutes of Health’s
rECoVEr project identified the
most common of the 200-plus
symptoms associated with long
covid and found that reinfections
were linked with higher frequen-
cy and greater severity of long-
covid symptoms.
The $1.15 billion NIH project
has come under fire for focusing
on sweeping observational stud-
ies that track participants’ health
information rather than empha-
sizing clinical trials, which might
identify treatments more quickly.
Its studies have enrolled 16,000
participants to provide data that
should help capture the causes of
the condition and potentially
identify measurable biomarkers
for long covid and other post-viral
illnesses in blood or other bodily
fluids or tissues.
The first potential treatment it
will study is the antiviral drug
Paxlovid, already used by some
patients when they first fall ill
with covid. The estimated com-
pletion date of that drug study is
early 2024.
“Those are timelines associat-
ed with incremental discovery,
not disruptive innovation,” said
Putrino, who has turned to alter-
native funding sources. “We need
treatments in two or three years.
We’re not seeing the methodolog-
ical changes consistent with that
time window.”
But Walter J. Koroshetz, one of
the rECoVEr co-chairs, argues
that the systematic approach is
designed to avoid the problems
that have bedeviled research into
mE/CfS, post-Lyme disease and
post-mononucleosis.
“There probably isn’t going to
be a quick solution,” said Ko-
roshetz, who pointed to 10 pre-
prints and 17 peer-reviewed pub-
lications in the National Library
of medicine’s Pubmed database
resulting from rECoVEr re-
search, even as he acknowledged
that the NIH program is not
communicating its progress well
enough.
“We do have a problem be-
cause people don’t understand
what’s been happening,” Ko-
roshetz said. Piles of academic
papers covering counters in his
office reflect the research going
on across the country.
But the overall government
response strikes many as slug-
gish. In late may, the Department
of Health and Human Services
sent out an email announcing it
would soon be posting the job of
director for the proposed office
of Long CoVID research and
Practice. That office was first
called for in August 2022 in the
National research Action Plan on
Long CoVID.
Allison N. o’Donnell, deputy
director for long covid at HHS,
said she did not have “exact
timing on when the position will
be posted.”
This spring, HHS published a
fact sheet showing the progress
the administration has made
with its whole-of-government re-
sponse to long covid, including
promoting patient-centered care
models and resources for provid-
ers.
Some frustration with the pace
of research may stem from unre-
alistic expectations about the
speed of science that were
sparked by the unprecedented
development and rollout of coro-
navirus vaccines.
“‘If we can move heaven and
earth with vaccines,’ people are
asking, ‘why can’t we develop a
treatment for long covid?’ ” Jack-
son said.
The slow pace of research and
risk of low returns also prove
discouraging for scientists, ac-
cording to Harlan Krumholz, a
Yale School of medicine cardiolo-
gist who transferred his expertise
in clinical research to long covid
early in the pandemic.
“It’s not an area that research-
ers are rushing to be part of,”
Krumholz said. Unlike cancer or
neurology research, fields that
can deliver stunning break-
throughs for ambitious young
scientists, post-viral studies are
moving slowly.
“People have been in the wil-
derness for decades with Lyme
and mE/CfS,” Krumholz said.
meanwhile, misconceptions
are settling in, said Ziegler, the
Nashville attorney, including that
long covid amounts to little more
than “brain fog.” Those two
words fail to capture the cogni-
tive deficits, including slower
processing speeds that he has
experienced.
At the same time, worries are
mounting about the impact of
even mild infections on brain
functions, with two recent stud-
ies out of Germany suggesting
persistent neuro-inflammation.
“The critical challenge,” writes
Eric Topol, director of the Scripps
research Translational Institute,
“is how to arrest the process and
alleviate the neurologic symp-
toms that people with long covid
are suffering.”
many physicians, including
Jackson, are employing the tools
of cognitive rehabilitation for
long-covid patients, helping
them develop an array of com-
pensatory skills to offset deficits,
much as if they had suffered a
traumatic brain injury.
Even as treatment strategies
evolve, patients are desperate to
understand what the end of the
public health emergency will
mean for them.
“The lack of clear guidance
leaves people in despair,” said
francesca Beaudoin, director of
the Long Covid Initiative at
Brown University, who said she
had been receiving emails and
calls from patients.
That sense of despair is famil-
iar to Jimmie Lou DeBakey, who
tested positive for the coronavi-
rus in January, beginning her
long-covid journey just as the rest
of the country was putting the
pandemic into the past. In febru-
ary, overwhelmed by lassitude,
she went to the emergency room,
where a doctor looked her in the
eye.
“There’s not a thing I can do for
you,” she recalls him telling her.
“No medicine. No magic bullet.
No nothing.”

Tex. GOP passes voting bills targeting Democratic county
Measures change
policies, give secretary of
state oversight in election
BY PATRICK MARLEY
Texas Republicans wound
down their regular legislative
session Sunday by changing
election policies for a single
populous Democratic strong-
hold but not other parts of the
state.
The measure gives the secre-
tary of state under certain condi-
tions the power to run elections
in Harris County, home to Hous-
ton and 4.8 million residents. It
follows a bill approved days
earlier that shifts the oversight
of elections from its appointed
elections administrator to the
county clerk and county asses-
sor.
Harris County officials at a
news conference last week said
they would bring a lawsuit chal-
lenging the measures as soon as
Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signs them
into law.
“These bills are not about
election reform,” said Harris
County Judge Lina Hidalgo, the
county’s chief executive.
“They’re not about improving
voters’ experience. They are en-
tirely about suppressing voters’
voices. The reasoning behind
these bills is nothing but a
cynical charade.”
Also over recent days, the
Republican-controlled legisla-
ture passed bills increasing pen-
alties for illegal voting and likely
setting the stage for the state to
withdraw from the Electronic
Registration Information Cen-
ter. The center was formed in
2012 to help states maintain
accurate voter rolls, identify in-
stances of potential fraud and
contact people so they can regis-
ter to vote. More than half the
states belong to the consortium,
but some Republican-run states
have bolted from it over the last
year as election deniers have
spread false information about
its work.
Critics are concerned about
how the two bills affecting
Harris County will interact with
each other. One bill requires the
county to change who oversees
its elections starting Sept. 1, just
weeks before Houston holds its
election for mayor.
The quick transition could
easily lead to problems, oppo-
nents of the measure say. If
problems do occur, Secretary of
State Jane Nelson could use the
provisions of the other newly
passed bill to oversee elections
in Harris County. That would
mean Nelson, a former state
senator appointed as secretary
of state by Abbott, would be in
charge of the 2024 presidential
election for the county.
And if Nelson did not believe
that the new officials in charge
of elections — Harris County

Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth and
County Assessor Ann Harris
Bennett — had rectified prob-
lems, she could initiate legal
proceedings to remove them
from office under the legislation.
Local officials said it would be
unjust to allow the secretary of
state the power to take action
against two Black women but
not those who hold equivalent
positions in the state’s 253 other
counties.
Under the bill, Nelson could
oversee elections in Harris
County if she found “good cause
to believe that a recurring pat-
tern of problems with election
administration or voter registra-
tion exists in the county.” She
would get to sign off on all of the
county’s election procedures and
could install members of her
staff in Harris County offices.
“If the secretary’s office was
motivated to the extent that they
really wanted to be very involved
directly in election administra-
tion, I think that this bill does
provide that opportunity,” said
Daniel Griffith, the senior policy
director for Secure Democracy, a
nonprofit group focused on ex-
panding access to voting.
Republicans contended they
needed to adjust how elections
in Harris County are conducted
because of past problems. In the
March 2022 primary, the county
didn’t have enough poll workers
and failed to count about 10,000
mail ballots on Election Day. In
the November 2022 general elec-
tion, some polling places opened
late and some ran out of ballots,
which forced voters to wait for

ballots to be restocked or go
elsewhere.
State Sen. Paul Bettencourt
(R), who wrote the bills focused
on Harris County, called the
November problems a form of
voter suppression. Voters having
to go to more than one polling
site to cast a ballot “is utterly
unacceptable by any measure-
ment,” he said.
County officials have said they
have learned from the errors and
the latest legislation would
cause new disruptions. Hidalgo
said other counties in Texas
faced issues but have received
far less scrutiny.
Harris County is a bright blue
spot in a red state. Donald
Trump won Texas’ presidential
election in 2020 by six points,
even as he lost the county by 13
points to Joe Biden.
The county has been at the
center of battles over voting for
years. Amid the coronavirus
pandemic in 2020, the county
implemented overnight voting
to accommodate shift workers
and set up a drive-through vot-
ing program. Abbott and Repub-
lican lawmakers banned those
practices a year later with
sweeping legislation that also
allowed partisan poll watchers
to get closer to election officials
and banned officials from send-
ing unsolicited applications for
absentee ballots.

changing election laws. One bill

as 20 years in prison. Illegal
voting had long been a felony in
Texas but lawmakers changed it
to a misdemeanor in 2021 as part
of that year’s overarching elec-
tions legislation.
Illegal voting in Texas and
elsewhere is rare. Opponents of
the bill said having extremely
stiff penalties could deter legiti-
mate voters from casting ballots
out of fear that they could inad-
vertently violate election rules
and be punished.
A bill that passed on Saturday
would allow members of the
public to inspect ballots two
months after any election. Those
who examined ballots would not
have access to information that
would show whom individual
voters voted for.
States have mixed policies on
letting members of the public
examine ballots, with some
states treating them as confiden-
tial and others treating them as
public records that anyone can
review. Critics are worried the
Texas legislation would allow
members of the general public to
handle ballots, running the risk
they could add markings to them
or otherwise damage them.
The Texas Constitution, like
those in many states, bars the
legislature from passing laws
that apply only to specific juris-
dictions. Harris County officials
said they would use that provi-
sion of the state constitution to
challenge the legislation target-
ing their county.
Whether they succeed will be
up to the courts. The legislation
does not mention Harris County
by name. Instead, one bill is
written to apply to counties of
more than 3.5 million and the
other to counties of more than 4
million. Harris County is the
only county that meets those
thresholds.
“We’re suing the state of Texas
to protect Harris County, to pro-
tect Harris County residents, to
protect our public officials and
to stop the state from targeting
us,” Harris County Attorney
Christian Menefee said during
last week’s news conference.
Historically in Texas, county
clerks have overseen election
administration and county as-
sessors have overseen voter reg-
istration. The state allows coun-
ties to shift all those duties to a
hired election administrator,
and about half the state’s coun-
ties have done so. Harris County
adopted such a system after the
2020 election but will no longer
be allowed to continue it under
one of the bills headed to the
governor.
The legislature failed to pass
one bill that had alarmed Harris
County officials that would have
allowed the secretary of state to
order a new election in the
county if more than 2 percent of
its polling places ran out of
ballots for more than an hour.
Critics called the legislation a
recipe for a crisis that could have
thrown the results of the next
presidential election in doubt.

No fatalities reported
in building collapse
Officials in Iowa are making
plans to demolish a six-story
apartment building a day after it
partially collapsed, injuring at
least one person and displacing
countless residents and business
owners. No fatalities have been
reported.
City officials in Davenport, a
city in eastern Iowa, said in a
news release that the property
owner was served Monday with
an order for demolition of the
building that was once the
Davenport Hotel. Residents were
not being allowed back inside to
remove their belongings due to
the building’s unstable
condition.
The cause of the collapse was
not immediately known.
Meanwhile, firefighters and
other first responders are being
credited with saving lives — at
great risk to their own personal
safety, officials said during a
Monday morning news
conference.
Fire Chief Michael Carlsten
said workers and K-9 units
searched for survivors
throughout the night and
rescued one person from the
building — bringing the total
number of people rescued by fire
officials to eight. An additional
12 people were escorted out by
fire crews when they first
responded to the collapse on
Sunday evening.
“No known individuals are
trapped in that facility,” Carlsten
said. Authorities have not
released how many people were
injured or provided details on
the nature of their injuries.
Carlsten did say that the person
who was rescued overnight was
in the hospital.
The building collapsed just
before 5 p.m. Sunday. Carlsten
said the back of the complex had
separated from the mixed-use
building, which houses both
apartments and businesses.
Authorities also found a gas leak
in the building after the collapse.
Officials switched from a
search and rescue mission to a
recovery mission late Monday
morning.
Rich Oswald, director of
development and neighborhood
services for the city of
Davenport, said at a news
conference on Sunday that work
was being done on the building’s
exterior at the time of the
collapse.
City officials said Sunday that
they had several complaints from
residents about needed repairs.
“The tenants told us the
building was going to collapse,”
Jennifer Smith, co-owner of
Fourth Street Nutrition, which
moved into the building this
winter, told the Quad-City Times.
There were 84 units in the
building, a mixture of residential
and commercial spaces, the
mayor said.

State Farm
stops taking
Calif. clients
BY ANUMITA KAUR
State Farm has stopped accept-
ing homeowner insurance applica-
tions in California, where it had
been a leading home insurance
provider, due to the increased risk
of catastrophes like wildfires and
high construction costs.
The decision, which won’t im-
pact current customers, went into
effect Saturday and signals the
growing threats to insurance avail-
ability and affordability in the face
of climate crisis-fueled disasters,
experts told The Washington Post.
“State Farm General Insurance
Company made this decision due
to historic increases in construc-
tion costs outpacing inflation, rap-
idly growing catastrophe expo-
sure, and a challenging reinsur-
ance market,” the company said in
a statement. “It’s necessary to take
these actions now to improve the
company’s financial strength. We
will continue to evaluate our ap-
proach based on changing market
conditions.”
The company said it recognized
the state government’s wildfire
loss mitigation efforts, and
pledged to “work constructively”
with the California Department of
Insurance and policymakers “to
help build market capacity in Cali-
fornia. However, it’s necessary to
take these actions now to improve
the company’s financial strength.”
State Farm did not respond to a
request for comment.
Nearly 25,000 homes and other
buildings across California have
been destroyed by massive fires in
the past five years. Thousands
more have been badly damaged. A
California Department of Insur-
ance assessment predicted that by
2100, an average of 77 percent
more acres will burn every year
across the state, and insurance
companies “may withdraw from
offering insurance” as conditions
worsen, The Post previously re-
ported.
Trouble from insurers is crop-
ping up in parts of California, like
throughout the Sierra Nevada re-
gion, according to Ryan Tompkins,
a forester and natural resources
adviser with the University of Cali-
fornia.
“Many of our communities in
rural, forested areas of California
are experiencing not only increas-
ing wildfire and increasing wild-
fire severity, but also increasing
insurance problems,” Tompkins
said. “They’re getting dropped.
They’re getting non-renewed.
We’re seeing a sort of insidious,
quiet impact economically.”
The communities hit hardest
“may already have a higher proba-
bility of being disadvantaged,” fur-
ther amplifying their economic
burdens, Tompkins added. “A lot of
the communities that I serve are
grappling with these problems
firsthand. … If you have a mort-
gage, you need an insurance as
part of that agreement. If you can’t
get insurance, it’s going to have
cascading impacts.”
Increasing construction costs
nationwide compound the climate
crisis-related risk for insurers, said
Janet Ruiz, communications direc-
tor with the Insurance Informa-
tion Institute, a nonprofit organi-
zation that provides information
on the insurance industry.
“Reinsurance is also getting
more expensive due to the amount
of losses, not just in California, but
also in other states” that experi-
ence tornadoes, hurricanes and
other disasters, she said.
After Hurricane Ian, about a
dozen firms that provide home-
owners insurance in Florida be-
came insolvent, The Post reported,
leaving hundreds of thousands of
property owners scrambling for
coverage.
California’s “issues are a little
different, but we have so far man-
aged to not have insolvencies,”
Ruiz said. Instead, “companies are
shrinking how many policies they
can handle in each area. Other
companies are non-renewing in
high-risk areas.”
As climate risks — ranging from
wildfires, drought, extreme precip-
itation and storm surge — intensify
in California and throughout the
country, insurance companies and
government regulation will have to
find a way adapt, said Noah Diffen-
baugh, a climate scientist and pro-
fessor at Stanford University.
“Home insurance is a key way
that people manage risk of climate-
related hazards. And we’re seeing
that these events can be very costly
both at the individual level,” Diff-
enbaugh said, “and clearly can be
very costly for insurance compa-
nies.”
State Farm’s decision to cease
offering home insurance in the
most populous state shows “adap-
tation is very difficult” within the
climate crisis, Diffenbaugh added.
“What’s becoming increasingly
clear is that the gap between what’s
happening and what we’re pre-
pared for is getting wider and wid-
er.”

Despite legal obstacles, N.C. man convicted of murder fights to clear his name
McKoy from A1
though he wasn’t charged with
Hailey’s killing, Talley “shot him
dead.”
But despite the prosecutor’s
declaration and new evidence
mcKoy and his attorneys present-
ed — including that the sole
eyewitness who testified at trial
was unreliable and that a detec-
tive on his case was later convict-
ed of taking bribes from drug
dealers — he cannot clear his
name.
Standing in mcKoy’s way is the
Antiterrorism and Effective
Death Penalty Act, a 1996 law that
imposed steep legal barriers on
those seeking to overturn what
they believe were wrongful con-
victions. The law, supported by
republicans and Democrats
wanting to appear tough on
crime, says that a person can only
appeal to federal courts once and
has only a year to do it, and that
those courts must defer to state
court findings. After the law’s
passage, successful petitions de-
clined dramatically.
There is a way around the
limits — new evidence of “actual
innocence.” But mcKoy’s case
shows how even when new evi-
dence emerges, federal courts are
extremely reluctant to overturn
state convictions.
“The statute is kind of de-
signed to put prisoners in crazy
Catch-22s, and the Supreme
Court has read it very expansive-
ly,” said Noam Biale, a criminal
defense lawyer who specializes in
such appeals.
While fighting his conviction
and meeting repeated rejection,
mcKoy was released on parole
after 27 years in prison. But he is
still hobbled by being labeled a
convicted murderer and still
fighting to prove he is not one.
mcKoy’s attorneys have now
filed a long-shot appeal to the U.S.
Supreme Court, trying to keep
alive a fight he started decades
ago in his note to the officer.
“Please don’t cover this up,”
mcKoy’s 1995 letter said. “You
know rat kill that man I’m in
prison for. So please hear me out.”
‘I know it’
Hailey had the day off on
Jan. 25, 1990. The 30-year-old had
a new job — and a two-year-old
addiction to crack cocaine. His
wife was trying to keep him from
spending his whole paycheck on
drugs. After they argued at his
mother’s house, Hailey took off in
his wife’s car.
The next morning, her blue
Honda Accord was found crashed
off the side of the road in fayette-
ville, 25 miles from the small
town where the Haileys lived.
myron was slumped behind the
wheel, with a bullet hole straight
through the driver’s seat and his
chest. Two .357-caliber bullets
were inside the car.
He was last seen at 8:55 p.m.
the night before, returning
clothes to a store 45 minutes from
fayetteville. Based on tire tracks
where the car went off the road,
police assumed Hailey was travel-
ing east when he hit a tree and the
car tumbled down an embank-
ment.
Police began scouring the Hay-
mount Hill neighborhood, where
a gang shooting earlier on Jan. 25
had knocked out the power.
But as they canvassed the city,
identifications of Hailey’s killer
were vague and contradictory —
until february, when Bobby Lee
Williams, also known as “Straw-
berry,” told police mcKoy had
killed Hailey in a drug dispute.
According to the police file,
Williams relayed that mcKoy
tried to sell Hailey powdered
aspirin as crack cocaine, then
Williams intervened and forced
the dealer to hand over the real
drugs. Williams said he then saw
mcKoy chase as Hailey drove
away, firing a gun twice.
Before Williams, mcKoy had
only been named as one of many
potential witnesses to Hailey’s
killing. mcKoy was in the
“streets,” he later acknowledged.
After his father died working at
the commissary at fort Bragg,
mcKoy started noticing other
kids in the neighborhood with
rolls of cash and new clothes. He
turned from dreams of following
his father into the military to
dealing drugs.
Williams had also told investi-
gators mcKoy’s friends were in-
volved in the shooting, prompt-
ing police to round them up. one,
16-year-old Charmaine Evans,
implicated mcKoy.
But those accounts quickly be-
came problematic. Evans was
handcuffed to a chair for hours
before naming mcKoy, according
to the police record. Days later,
before he was supposed to testify
in court, Evans told his lawyer he
had lied.
“I didn’t know nothing about
it,” he said in a recorded conversa-
tion with his attorney included in
the court record. “They said they
were gonna keep me down there
in jail if I wouldn’t tell them
nothing.”

Page 1 of a letter written by charmaine Evans to Lamont McKoy’s
attorney. As a teen, Evans had implicated McKoy in the Hailey case.
Evans did stick to one part of
his story: that mcKoy carried a
.22-caliber gun, not a .357 like the
rounds shot at Hailey. That infor-
mation did not make it into the
police record of the interview.
Court records show Williams,
who at the time was on parole for
armed robbery and manslaugh-
ter, appeared to make inconsis-
tent statements in his account —
about the weather, Hailey’s cloth-
ing and whether there was a
passenger in the car.
The physics of Williams’s story
were also improbable, said
Graham Gurnee, mcKoy’s first
appellate lawyer. Williams’s ac-
count required both him and
mcKoy to catch up with a moving
car by running through trees, and
Hailey to make a series of turns
while fleeing gunshots.
“It just did not ever make sense
to me,” Gurnee said. “But I was
never able to get anything to back
that up.”
Two other witnesses said they
saw mcKoy shooting at a car that
night, but their timing did not
line up with Williams’s account,
and they were not called to testify
at trial, according to the court
record.
Years later, Evans — the teen
who implicated mcKoy — would
twice reach out to Gurnee asking
if he could help free mcKoy. “It
had always been on my mind and
in my heart,” Evans wrote.
The state had one other piece
of evidence. Police officer mike
Ballard testified that in a brief
conversation on the street about
a month after the shooting, mcK-
oy replied, “I know it,” when the
officer accused him of murder.
mcKoy maintains he was being
sarcastic.
Ballard did not arrest mcKoy,
instead suggesting he agree to be
photographed and polygraphed.
mcKoy refused and was allowed
to leave; in subsequent notes,
Ballard said mcKoy made no
“incriminating remarks.”
The judge told jurors at mcK-
oy’s trial they could take the

After four days of testimony

unanimous — guilty of first-de-
gree murder.
‘William Talley
shot him dead’
four years later, members of a
local fayetteville gang known as
“the Court Boys” went to trial in
federal court.
facing rising violence, fayette-
ville police had teamed up with
federal agents to take down the
gang, which operated out of a
housing complex called Grove
View Terrace. Ten men pleaded
guilty in federal court. Three
went to trial in 1995 — including
Talley, the one known as “rat
rat.”
Talley was accused only of
selling crack for the gang while
armed. But prosecutors told ju-
rors he was not just a drug dealer
but a killer.
Two cooperating gang mem-
bers testified they saw Talley
shoot at a driver who tried to rob
them of drugs in the Grove View
Terrace housing complex the
night Hailey was killed, and that
they saw the crashed car on an
embankment the next day.
In closing arguments, Assis-
tant U.S. Attorney John Bennett
held up the gun Talley was carry-
ing when arrested and told the
jury to “use your common sense.”
It was a .357-caliber revolver,
according to the court record.
“Ladies and gentlemen, what
do you think happened to the
driver of that car?” Bennett
asked. “What happened is that
William Talley shot him dead.”
Talley did not respond to re-
quests for comment through his
last attorney or calls to his listed
phone number. A man at his last

himself as “William” declined to

could not be reached for com-
ment.) The students learned one
of the two investigators on mc-
Koy’s case, who had been under-
cover in Grove View Terrace, had
since been convicted of taking
bribes to drop drug cases. And
they found an incident report
showing several police officers
responding to the earlier gang
shooting were present at the ex-
act time and place that Williams
claimed mcKoy shot Hailey,
which mcKoy’s lawyers argued
would have made it impossible
for the killing to go undetected by
law enforcement.
But North Carolina state
courts again dismissed his ap-
peal, saying that it came too late
and that mcKoy should have
found the new evidence before
his trial. The Duke team went to
federal court. They hired a me-
chanical engineer who testified
that the tire tracks from the crash
site were misinterpreted and Hai-
ley could easily have been coming
west from Grove View Terrace.
And then, buried in the docu-
ments turned over by the state,
they found two pieces of paper:
typed records of the first tips to
police that came in after Hailey’s
death. one was from a woman
who said “rat-rat did the shoot-
ing” and identified a witness. The
second said an “intoxicated” call-
er “named the person he said was
responsible.” Scrawled on the re-
port was “rat-rat’ from
Groveview Terr.”
In late 2019, a federal judge in
North Carolina heard mcKoy’s
case.
In the courtroom was myron
Hailey Jr., who was 3 when his
father was killed. Next to him was
his fiancée, who gasped when
crime scene photos were shown.
The dead man in the car looked
just like her future husband.
In Hailey Jr.’s one clear memo-
ry of his father, Hailey Sr. is
leaving through the back door,
saying, “I’ll be back.” Even that
could be imagined, he knows.
And he could be wrong about
who killed his father. But he has
always understood mcKoy to be
the killer, and the hearing did not
change his mind.
In the elevator outside the
courtroom, the two men found
themselves alone together. Hailey
Jr. recalled it as the strangest
silence of his life.
“Look, man, I didn’t kill your
dad,” mcKoy eventually said.
“okay,” Hailey Jr. responded.
He didn’t believe it. Neither
did the court.
As U.S. Appeals Court Judge J.
Harvie Wilkinson III put it at oral
arguments in mcKoy’s case,
“There are very few cases that
there’s not some after-discovered
evidence. It’s always brought up.
And I thought that [the Antiter-
rorism and Effective Death Penal-
ty Act] was passed to shut off
these kinds of claims because
they just go on and on.”
In December, the 4th Circuit
issued an unpublished opinion
that the evidence was “not con-
clusive” enough to meet the “very
demanding burden” of “actual
innocence.”
Jamie Lau, a professor at Duke
Law who argued mcKoy’s case,
said the appellate court is sup-
posed to look at the evidence with
fresh eyes but instead relied heav-
ily on the state court rulings that
were based on incomplete evi-
dence.
“It’s no way to operate a system
that’s concerned with the truth,”
he said.
In prison, mcKoy missed the
death of an aunt who had cham-
pioned his case for years. mcKoy’s
wife was pregnant with their son
when he was arrested; he asked
for a divorce so she could move on
without him. for 27 years he slept
on hard cots in long halls, avoid-
ed knife fights and saw his family
once a month at most.
In 2017, with help from Duke,
his parole was granted. He went
first to Golden Corral, for the first
meal where he was able to have
seconds in nearly three decades.
Then to the graveyard to visit the
relatives who died while he was
behind bars. And then to see his
mother, who survived.
He wants to become a commer-
cial truck driver; see the country,
make good money. But several
employers rejected him because
of his record; he is back at the
same scrap yard that employed
him as a prisoner on work re-
lease.
Talley was released from pris-
on two years after mcKoy, in 2019.
They passed each other on the
street in fayetteville once, ac-
cording to mcKoy.
Neither man said anything.

Uganda imposes life
imprisonment or death
for same-sex activity
BY L EO S ANDS
AND R AEL O MBUOR
Uganda’s president signed into
law a wide-ranging anti-LGBTQ
bill on Monday that imposes life
imprisonment for same-sex activ-
ity and the death penalty in some
cases, signaling an intensification
of the East African nation’s crack-
down on LGBTQ+ people despite
widespread international con-
demnation of the law.
The Anti-Homosexuality Act
2023 punishes those found guilty
of “aggravated homosexuality”
with death, a category broadly
defined by legislators to include
offenses that range from having
gay sex with a minor to seducing
someone through “misrepresen-
tation” or “undue influence.”
The new law also imposes life
imprisonment as punishment for
anyone found to have performed
a sexual act with a person of the
same gender, and up to seven
years in prison for “an attempt to
commit the offense of homosex-
uality.”
“The people of Uganda have
spoken,” tweeted parliamentary
speaker Anita Annet Among, an-
nouncing that President Yoweri
Museveni had signed the legisla-
tion. “I now encourage the duty
bearers under the law to execute
the mandate bestowed upon
AbUbAkeR LUbowA/ReUteRs
them in the Anti-Homosexuality
Act.”
Uganda’s parliament originally
passed the bill in March, but it
was returned to legislators by a
presidential veto. The final bill,
approved by Museveni, remains
largely the same but no longer
includes a requirement for people
to report homosexual activity or
criminalizes merely identifying
as LGBTQ+.
The bill’s passage into law
Monday sparked fear and confu-
sion among LGBTQ+ Ugandans,
many of whom have already fled
the country.
“The news means that I will
never see home again,” said a
32-year-old gay asylum seeker
speaking to The Washington Post
by phone from the Kakuma refu-
gee camp in Kenya. He spoke on
the condition of anonymity.
“I left Uganda in 2018; it was a
scary time for me. I feel the fear,
like that morning I ran away from
my home. I am in the refugee
camp at the moment and never
felt so disillusioned in my life,” he
said.
“I feel extremely scared,” said
Jude, 38, who asked to be identi-
fied only by his first name to
protect his identity, speaking by
phone from the same refugee
camp on Monday.
“It’s a tragedy on our story and
entire community,” he said. “I
have no option in Uganda.”
According to the Human Dig-
nity Trust, a London-based non-
governmental organization that
monitors the legal status of LG-
BTQ+ people in different coun-
tries, same-sex activity has been
punishable by life imprisonment
in Uganda since 1950, when the
law was inherited from British
colonial statutes. The organiza-
tion said that there is substantial
evidence of the previous law be-
ing used to arrest and arbitrarily
detain LGBTQ+ people but that
actual prosecutions are rare.
Western officials and nongov-
ernmental organizations con-
demned the act, with some argu-
ing that Uganda’s stigmatization
of LGBTQ+ people threatened the
health of people living with HIV
there. “Uganda’s progress on its
HIV response is now in grave
jeopardy,” Winnie Byanyima, ex-
ecutive director of the Joint U.N.
Program on HIV/AIDS, said in a
joint statement also signed by the
leaders of the Global Fund to
Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Ma-
laria and the U.S. President’s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
“LGBTQI+ people in Uganda
increasingly fear for their safety
and security, and increasing
numbers of people are being dis-
couraged from seeking vital
health services for fear of attack,
punishment and further margin-
alization,” they said.
Versions of Monday’s legisla-
tion targeting LGBTQ+ people
have been around in Uganda
since 2009. In 2014, Museveni’s
government passed a similar law,
whose first iteration included the
death penalty for some offenses —
but was struck down by the court
for not following due parliamen-
tary process.
Eric Gitari, an LGBTQ+ activist
in Kenya, said in a statement: “It’s
a sign of democracy in retreat. An
attack on the Rule of Law. A
political call to arrest and violate
the rights of LGBTQ Ugandans.
This has set a bad precedent in
other African countries that are
considering similar laws such as
Kenya.”
“Nonetheless one day we shall
defeat these assaults on our hu-
man rights and triumph in equal-
ity and inclusion for LGBTQ per-
sons within African countries,” he
added. “This ideal must be our
guiding light in this moment of
darkness and tears.”

Vancouver retiree earns his degree
54 years after enrolling at university
BY D ANIEL W U
Arthur Ross was feeling rest-
less in retirement. He was happy
after a 35-year career as a lawyer
in Vancouver, but as it wound
down, the history enthusiast
started thinking about returning
to the classroom. He knew where
he’d go — back to the University of
British Columbia, where he’d en-
rolled in 1969 and left three years
later without earning a diploma.
“It’s unfinished business,” Ross,
now 71, remembered thinking in
2016. “Let’s see what happens, one
course at a time.”
On Thursday, Ross had his an-
swer. He walked onstage in cap
and gown to receive a bachelor’s
degree 54 years in the making,
making him one of the slowest
degree-earners in the world.
Ross doesn’t mind the distinc-
tion. He was thrilled to rekindle —
and properly wrap up — his time
as a student, he told The Washing-
ton Post.
“I hope other people, those who
are thinking about doing this, I
hope they do realize it’s possible to
do this,” Ross said. “And it’s super
enjoyable.”
Ross grew up in Vancouver,
B.C., close to the University of
British Columbia, and several
family members had graduated
from there before him. Going
there after high school felt like a
natural step, he said, even though
he didn’t have a career goal in
mind. Ross enrolled in 1969 and
took classes in English before dis-
covering he had a passion for act-
ing.
“For most young people who
get the acting bug, it is a bug you
cannot let go,” Ross recalled. So he
left the university after two years
to enroll in a Montreal theater
school, leaving an unfinished
transcript behind.
But after three years in theater
school, Ross said he found acting
to be too taxing of a pursuit. He
pivoted once more to law, which
required him to re-enroll at the
University of British Columbia for
a year to complete the three col-
lege years required to qualify for
law school in Canada. Then he left
Vancouver again — undergradu-
ate degree still incomplete — for
the University of Toronto’s law
school.
Law school did end up giving
Ross a diploma, and a decades-
long career. He didn’t think much
about the undergraduate degree
he’d left unfinished until he re-
tired in 2016. Ross, a history en-
thusiast, said that watching a Ger-
man opera rekindled curiosities
about European society before the
First World War. He wanted to
learn and discuss. So he picked up
the phone and called the Univer-
sity of British Columbia to ask
about enrolling part-time so he
could sit in on a European history
class.
In January 2017, Ross found
himself back at school, on a cam-
pus that looked different from
what he remembered. Ross had
changed, too. He had to stop him-
self at times, he said, from speak-
ing too much in discussion sec-
tions and bringing his trial lawyer
experience to bear — “I had to
learn to keep my mouth shut!” —
but said that classmates and pro-
fessors were supportive when he
shared his unusual story.
“Maybe they were surprised
about all of that, but I think they
were just welcoming,” Ross said.
One part-time class led to an-
other, and Ross eventually decid-
ed he’d commit to finishing his
degree. Luckily, he realized he’d
only need to take history classes to
fulfill the requirements for a
Bachelor of Arts degree and a
history major.
Ross chipped away at his course
load slowly. His matriculation was
delayed once more by covid-19.
Frustrated by online classes, he
took another year off in 2021 and
CoURtesy of the UniveRsity
of bRitish CoLUmbiA
Arthur Ross, 71, and friend
A7
watched sympathetically as the
pandemic disrupted the lives of
the rest of the student body.
“I really applaud them for stick-
ing with it through some difficult
times in order to now graduate
and move on,” Ross said. “They are
the ones, far more than me,
they’re the ones who deserve cred-
it.”
Ross completed his final class, a
historiography of the Holocaust
in Eastern Europe, in December.
All that was left was to receive his
diploma in the university’s May
graduation ceremony. His family
and children were in attendance
Thursday when he finally re-
ceived his Bachelor of Arts degree.
Ross plans to frame it alongside
his law certificates.
Ross’s graduation might even
land him in the record books. The
54 years he spent earning his de-
gree, from enrollment to matricu-
lation, just surpasses the Guin-
ness World Records listing for the
longest time taken to complete a
degree, 52 years, CBC Radio Cana-
da noted.
Guinness World Records did
not respond to a request for com-
ment from The Post. Ross, for one,
thinks some of his graduating
peers deserve more credit than
him.
“I’m thinking of all these PhD
students who are also getting
their doctorate, who have prob-
ably done amazing research in
some field, and I’m just an anoma-
ly who happened to take a long
time to get a degree,” Ross chuck-
led. “It’s a bit disproportionate.
But I’ll take it.”
Ross enjoyed his last day as a
college student after his gradua-
tion ceremony, cycling to a cele-
bratory dinner with his family
where he kept his graduation cap
on.
He’ll return to retirement,
though he might have a challeng-
er for his record soon. Ross’s wife,
who also left college early to trans-
fer to law school, has since teased
the idea of returning to complete
her undergraduate degree, he
said.
“Now she’s threatening to go
back to university, and take even
longer than it took me, to get her
Bachelor of Arts,” Ross laughed.
“More power to her if she does
that.”

Severe drought forces desperate measures in Uruguay
With main reservoir nearly depleted, state water company starts adding saltwater to public drinking supply, leading to unhealthy sodium levels in tap water
BY L UCIEN C HAUVIN,

MONTEVIDEO, uruguay —
When the headaches began,
María Sosa thought back to
breakfast a few days earlier.
She had been boiling eggs in
their kitchen. Her husband,
drinking water, asked if she
thought it tasted off.
“A looked at the pot and it was
white, tainted with salt,” said
Sosa, 62. “I knew right there: This
was going to be a problem.”
Uruguay, beset by high temper-
atures and drought, is running
out of freshwater. Montevideo,
the capital, is down to just a few
days’ supply.
This small, affluent South
American nation is not alone in
its suffering. Historically hot, dry
conditions are harming crops and
shaking economies across the
Southern Cone. Amid global cli-
mate change, the region is warm-
ing more rapidly than the rest of
the world. Precipitation during
the last four months of 2022 fell
to half the average, the lowest
level in 35 years.
Andean glaciers have lost more
than 30 percent of their area
since the 1980s, according to the
U.N. World Meteorological Or-
ganization. Central Chile is
13 years into its longest drought
in at least a millennium. Argenti-
na’s agricultural exports are ex-
pected to fall by 28 percent in
2023.
But in Uruguay, extreme
weather has pushed authorities
to an extreme response.
The Paso Severino reservoir,
which provides freshwater to
more than half the country’s mARIAnA gReIF/ReuteRs

3.4 million people, is down to A truck crosses a bridge over the Canelón Grande reservoir in Canelones, Uruguay, where water levels have fallen to historic lows amid severe drought, as seen on May 18.
5 percent of capacity. So the State
Sanitary Works Administration
secured permission this month to
exceed the legal limits for sodium
and chloride in public drinking
water and has begun adding sup-
ply from the Río de la Plata, the
estuary where the freshwater of
the Paraná and Uruguay rivers
meets the saltwater of the Atlan-
tic Ocean.
The result: The amount of sodi-
um in the tap water has reached
421 milligrams per liter, the gov-
ernment announced last week.
That’s more than twice the World
Health Organization recommen-
dation, 50 percent more than
Uruguay’s previous authorized
limit and 10 times the system’s
historic levels. PAblo PoRcIunculA/AFP/getty ImAges

Chloride has reached 686 milli-
grams per liter of chloride, also
50 percent more than the previ-
ous authorized limit.
What’s more, the water tastes
distinctly salty.
“For the population in general,
it is not a health problem,” Public
Health Minister Karina Rando
told reporters when the measure
was announced. But her ministry
issued a warning: “As for people
with hypertension, kidney diseas-
es and people who have a medical
recommendation for a salt-
restricted diet, it is recommended
to take extreme blood pressure
controls, not to neglect their med-
ical controls and, if possible, con-
sume bottled water.”
Sosa is among those affected.
She suffers from hypertension; it
took her a year to get her blood
pressure under control.
Since her tap water turned
salty, she has sharply cut her
intake. “I used to drink around
30 or 60 ounces of water a day,
and now I only drink two glasses,”
she said. “I find myself saving

whatever water is left from my
husband’s tea, and we just have a
mate or two a day. Our entire lives
changed.”
In Barrio Nuevo Amanecer,
Sosa’s neighborhood on the out-
skirts of Montevideo, the prob-
lem is widespread. In a country
where the drinking water has
been recognized as among the
world’s purest, the cost of buying
bottled water is busting family
budgets.
Opposition politicians and
some Uruguayans are blaming
President Luis Lacalle Pou for
what they say is incompetence or
corruption. Protesters have
chanted, “It’s not drought, it’s
looting.”
“The crisis itself could have
had a much more anticipated
communication plan. Since last
year there was a warning that the
drought was going to continue,”
said former environment minis-
ter Carlos Colacce. “From one day
to the next we find out that the
water has to start coming out
salty.”
Lacalle Pou said the crisis did
not take his government by sur-

prise. “I don’t want to focus on
what was not done,” he told re-
porters, but on new projects: a
water treatment plant, a dam and
a desalination plant imported
from the United States.
What did catch Lacalle Pou by
surprise was the boy who asked
him about the water as he visited
a primary school. “One question,”
the boy said. “What is wrong?
Why is the water so salty?”

Through the city’s network of

workers are identifying people at
risk and doctors are giving “pre-
scriptions” to vulnerable patients
to be redeemed for bottles at local
businesses. At least 70 percent of
people who visited polyclinics in
the past week suffered from high
blood pressure, officials said.
“I haven’t used my prescription
for water yet,” Sosa said. “I helped
an 80-year-old neighbor to look
for hers, because I could still buy
water. But now I have to. I need
to.”
Opposition parties have called
on the health and environment
ministers to testify on the crisis.
“A water management mistake
was made,” said senator opposi-
tion leader Enrique Rubio. “They
ignored the problem.”
“We called for an interpellation
not to discuss the projects but the
management of the water crisis,”
he said. “We are getting to a limit
situation if it does not rain.”
Soledad Furtado is a co-owner
of Parque Congelados, a super-
market in Montevideo’s Pardo
neighborhood.
“The only question people ask
us these days is about water,” she
said. “They want to know if we’ve
heard anything.”
“We limit purchases to 12 liters
[about 3.2 gallons] a day, because
we want to make sure that there is
enough for everyone. People are
using bottled water for almost
everything these days.”
After months with little rain,
any drop is cause for celebration.
“Luckily, we started the day with
rain,” German Ambassador Eu-
gen Wollfarth tweeted Friday.
“Very grateful to get wet.”

Rivals agree to extend
cease-fire 5 more days
Sudan’s warring military
factions agreed on Monday to a
five-day extension of a cease-fire
agreement, after renewed heavy
clashes and airstrikes in parts of
the capital threw fresh doubts on
the effectiveness of the truce.
Saudi Arabia and the United
States, which brokered a week-
long cease-fire deal, announced
shortly before it was due to
expire Monday evening that the
parties had agreed to extend it.
Although the cease-fire had
been imperfectly observed, it
had allowed the delivery of aid
to an estimated 2 million people,
the two countries said in a joint
statement. “The extension will
provide time for further
humanitarian assistance,
restoration of essential services,

Ex-president gets
14 years in prison
A judge sentenced former El
Salvador President Mauricio
Funes to 14 years in prison
Monday for negotiating with
gangs during his administration.
Prosecutors accused Funes,
64, who governed from 2009 to
2014, of illicit association and
failure to perform his duties for
the gang truce negotiated in
2012. They say the negotiations
were aimed at getting the
country’s powerful street gangs
to lower the homicide rate in
exchange for benefits to the
gangs’ imprisoned leaders. Funes
denied the allegations.
Funes’s former security
minister, Gen. David Munguía
Payes, also was sentenced to 18
years in prison for his
involvement in the negotiations.
Munguía Payes said after
sentencing that the trial was full
of irregularities and that the
accusations against him “have
no foundation.”
President Nayib Bukele has
been accused of engaging in the
same kind of negotiations with
the gangs.

Monday’s announcement

spending, supply chains and
capabilities are believed to give
it a significant edge over China,
at least for now. The United
States aims to put astronauts
back on the lunar surface by the
end of 2025 as part of a renewed
commitment to crewed missions.
The deputy director of China’s

Erdogan congratulated on win by disparate world leaders

Turkish president takes
his increasingly hard-line
rule into a third decade
BY L OUISA L OVELUCK
ANkArA, Turkey — World lead-
ers congratulated Turkish Presi-
dent Recep Tayyip Erdogan on
Monday as the country’s election
board confirmed that the 69-year-
old had won a close and bitterly
fought presidential election, en-
suring that his divisive tenure at
Turkey’s helm would extend into a
third decade.
Erdogan won 52 percent of the
vote, the election board’s chair-
man said, giving him a four-point
edge over his opponent, Kemal
Kilicdaroglu, and affirming Erdo-
gan’s uncontested control over the
levers of state and the country’s
foreign policy direction.
In public messages, leaders on
both sides of a geopolitical cre-
vasse signaled hopes for a stron-
ger relationship: President Biden
said he looked forward to “con-
tinuing to work together as NATO
Allies on bilateral issues and
shared global challenges”; Rus-
sian President Vladimir Putin
welcomed a fresh term for a “dear
friend”; and European Commis-
measures against journalists and
civil society while centralizing
power in the executive branch.
In many cases, noted Lisel
Hintz, a professor of international
relations at Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity’s School of Advanced Inter-
national Studies, Monday’s con-
gratulatory messages from inter-
national leaders were “transac-
tional.”
“No mention that the democra-
cy they’re hailing was, in large
part, oppositional action in the
face of authoritarianism. So much
just swept away,” she tweeted.
In Washington and European
capitals, officials had stayed
publicly quiet throughout the
campaign, some privately hoping
that it would be Erdogan’s last. His
relationship with Western nations
has been testy in recent years, and
ahead of the first round of voting,
some opinion polls suggested that
Kilicdaroglu was headed for out-
right victory.
In the capital, Ankara, the cele-
brations of Erdogan’s supporters
reverberated into the early morn-
ing hours as men, women and
children carried flags through the
streets and campaign buses blast-
ed songs in the president’s honor.

portant role on the world stage: It
is a mediator in Syria and Ukraine,
two of the most consequential
wars of the past decade, and
struck a more than $6 billion
agreement with the European
Union that effectively hands
Turkey responsibility for prevent-
ing million of refugees from reach-
ing the European mainland.
But at home, Erdogan has ruled
with an increasingly authoritari-
an bent. His unorthodox policies
have damaged the economy, mak-
ing it hard for many citizens to
make ends meet. Critics accuse
him of dismantling the country’s
democracy by using repressive
across large parts of the country
and overseen the growth of the
defense industry, while bringing
Islam back into public life after it
was banned by the republic’s
founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
The country today is deeply di-
vided along numerous religious
and ethnic fault lines, and Erdo-
gan has proved a master at ex-
ploiting both issues. On Monday,
the official English-language tran-
script of the president’s victory
speech omitted lengthy sections
in which he had accused foreign
powers and the opposition of con-
spiracy.
For foreign allies now sounding
a congratulatory note, a host of
challenges lie ahead. The first
comes in the shape of a NATO
summit on July 11, when Turkey is
expected to be asked to drop its
strenuous objections to Sweden’s
accession into the military alli-

A farm-to-table evangelist finds refuge in a Russian village

ReSTAuRAnT from A1

village of Knyazhevo in 2018,

after leaving moscow, where he
had founded one of the city’s
best-known farm-to-table restau-
rants and also managed procure-
ment of high-quality cheese, meat
and vegetables from small pro-
ducers for a major supermarket
chain.
full of hope and trepidation,
the family swapped moscow for a
rural life, rediscovering bucolic
traditions and slow food cooked
over a traditional russian wood-
fired clay stove, called a pechka,
using only sustainable products
that they grow or source from
other artisanal farmers and pro-
ducers. there are cows to be
milked, livestock to be fed, an
elderly donkey to be petted, a
garden to be tended, firewood to
be gathered, cheese to be made
and menus to be prepared.
Like many russians, akimov
sees the war as terrible, but also
something that is beyond his
influence. He avoids the news,
which he regards as useless ma-
nipulation.
“of course, i don’t like it that
my friends, maybe some very
good writers or actors, leave and
live somewhere else,” he said.
“But what can i do about it?
nothing.”
Such fatalism is common in
russia, and also fuels criticism —
heard in ukraine and elsewhere
— that all of russian society is
culpable for the war, if only be-
cause of the collective compla-
cency that has kept putin in
power.
While akimov’s life as a small
farmer, producer and restaura-
teur blossoms, russia’s war has For the Washington Post

desecrated ukrainian villages
and towns in the east and de-
stroyed thousands of farms and
livelihoods there. grain ship-
ments have been blocked, and
many ukrainian farmers face
danger trying to plant fields now
sown with land mines and other
unexploded ordnance.
russia’s war, often referred to
euphemistically by russians as
“the current situation,” may
mean more customers for people
like akimov. But it also threatens
to stifle russia’s cross-fertiliza-
tion with Western ideas that

and the slow food movement that
sprang up in italy in the 1980s.
Levels of support for the war
are still high, but many russians
do not want to think about it,
escaping into their daily lives and
passions, shutting out reality.
even talking about the war is
dangerous. public opposition to it
— even in private conversation —
is illegal, and posting criticism on
social media risks a long jail term.
akimov, like most russians,
treads carefully.
“of course, it’s a psychological
stress,” he said, referring to the
war. “i’m thick-skinned. But i see
people around me are nervous.
all my friends and sisters and
brothers, they’re really stressed
and sad about it. i see that some
people in the community are
afraid for the future,” he said.
Before the full-scale invasion,
flitting to france or italy for a
long weekend was an easy option
for wealthy russians. With last
year’s closure of european air-
space to russian flights, making
such trips long and expensive,
many russians are vacationing in
their own country, while well-to-
do muscovites seek weekend culi-
nary adventures within easy
reach of the capital.
russian domestic tourism is
predicted to rise by 5 percent in
2023, up to 72 million people, ilya
umansky, president of the rus-
sian union of travel industry told
journalists last month, a figure
aided by government steps to
exempt domestic tourism from
sales tax.
“i remember at one time every-
one thought, ‘We need to go to
paris, or we need to go to new
York or mexico or somewhere else
because very interesting things
are happening there. Let’s go
there,’ ” akimov said. “now, obvi-
ously, you think, ‘oh. We can’t go
there. Where to go? We live in the
biggest country in the world.
maybe i can go to see some of
russia.’ ”
for some, he said, a visit to the
russian countryside is a revela-
tion. “and then you go some-
where and think, ‘Yes, it’s inter-
esting. i didn’t even think that
such people, such situations, such
culture could be found here,’ ” he
said.
Living off the land in a small
russian village is not always care-
free. the work is hard, the hours
long and farm employees some-
times go on alcohol binges for
days or disappear permanently
without giving notice or reason,
akimov said. the war seems dis-
tant. Local people don’t talk or
think about it much, he admitted.
“my friends in moscow, every
day they’re talking just about it,”
he said. But in his village, he said,
“we’re discussing: ‘What about
your farm? How’s your business?

“I think that something bad happened, but it’s

a chance to look at ourselves — inside
of ourselves — and to open ourselves and
understand ourselves. And I hope that Russian
society will be able to look inside of itself.”
Boris Akimov, referring to Russia’s war with Ukraine and how it could be
providing a moment for Russians to be introspective about their heritage.

and later, toward fall, people will

restaurant includes a curd

ed lamb and vegetables, and a
pastry filled with fruit and sour
cream. There is wine made from
sour black bread, and locally dis-
tilled samogon, a form of moon-

akimov said the 2014 russian
embargo on Western food im-
ports and state support for farm-
ers helped foster the farm-to-ta-
ble industry. He is constructing a
bigger restaurant in the forest for
his expanding clientele.
But most of the growth, he
said, comes because some city
business executives and manag-
ers — like him — wanted to leave
their jobs and set up small rural
farms or businesses with no am-
bition to get rich or to be famous
beyond their own small commu-
nity.
“The main reason is that a
post-soviet generation grew up,
who wanted to change their lives,
and some of them wanted to be

they think, ‘It’s a very good busi-

don’t know anyone like that. The
main thing is your way of life: You

After reelection win, Turkey’s Erdogan continues his divisive rhetoric
His remarks set a bitter,
turbulent tone for his
next term, analysts say
BY K AREEM F AHIM
ISTANBUL — President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan sang and smiled,
reveling in the applause of the
supporters he addressed Sunday
after the toughest election of his
long career. In victory, though,
instead of soothing the nation, he
lashed out at a familiar set of
villains, in remarks that may set
the tone for his next term.
He was dismissive of his oppo-
nent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu. “Bye,
bye to Mr. Kemal,” he said. He
denigrated LGBTQ people as a
threat to “family.” And he ruled
out any release for an imprisoned
Kurdish political leader, calling
him a “terrorist.”
Similar remarks had been part
of his campaign stump speech
over the past few weeks as Erdo-
gan tried to distract from Tur-
key’s economic crisis, marked by
soaring inflation. His focus — on
threats to the nation and to the
fabric of conservative life —
helped rally a coalition of sup-
porters that included pious Mus-
lims and hard-right nationalists
and gave Erdogan 52 percent of
the vote in the runoff held Sun-
day.
As the country moved on from
the election, Erdogan would not
easily abandon the bitter rheto-
ric, analysts said, setting Turkey
on a divisive and turbulent course
for the foreseeable future, even as
Erdogan juggled a need to stabi-
lize the economy as well as Tur-
key’s often stormy relations with
allies in the West.
In fact, “I think he is going to
harden” his rhetoric, said Berk
Esen, a professor of political sci-
ence at Istanbul’s Sabanci Univer-
sity. “We are going to see him
adopt a very polarizing discourse
using ethno-religious themes” to
maintain his “winning coalition”
of voters.
Erdogan’s victory was a blow to
opposition supporters who had
rallied around Kilicdaroglu’s ear-
ly campaign pledges, which in-
cluded a restoration of the coun-
try’s democracy, protection for
civil liberties and even the release

of some of the nation’s most
high-profile political prisoners,
among them Selahattin Demir-
tas, the imprisoned Kurdish lead-
er.
As Erdogan railed against
LGBTQ people during the cam-
paign, Kilicdaroglu suggested he
would allow pride parades,
banned under the current gov-
ernment. For a time, Kilicdaroglu
promised a more civil public dis-
course and, most important,
change, after two decades with
Erdogan as Turkey’s leader.
The government’s mismanage-
ment of the economy and its
faltering response to deadly
earthquakes in February prom-
ised to broaden the opposition’s
appeal. But Erdogan, a gifted
orator, raised the specter of dark
threats to the nation emanating
from the opposition, casting him-
self as the bulwark against chaos.

example, Bunyamin Eken, 39,
who supported Erdogan, criti-
cized Kilicdaroglu for saying he
would release Demirtas as well as
a once-obscure civil-society activ-
ist named Osman Kavala, held on
charges that human rights
groups say are baseless. Eken
elevated such worries above his
own economic concerns, after
Erdogan cast Kavala as the leader
of a global plot against Turkey.
Kilicdaroglu, who trailed Erdo-
gan in the election’s first round,
was forced to adopt more aggres-
sively nationalist themes before
Sunday’s vote, including anti-im-
migrant rhetoric targeting mil-
lions of refugees from Syria and
elsewhere who have settled in
Turkey.
Despite the president’s win-
ning strategy, “I don’t think
things are going to be easy for
Erdogan,” Esen said. “He doesn’t
have the means to rebuild the
earthquake zone. He doesn’t have
the means to solve the migration
crisis. At some point the Turkish
economy is going to crash.”
And although Erdogan’s alli-
ance had won a majority of seats
in parliament, his own party was
dependent on more extreme co-
alition partners — who oppose
women’s rights or greater recog-
nition of Turkey’s Kurdish minor-
ity and could demand policies
that reflect their concerns, Esen
said.
“Erdogan put together a win-
ning coalition based on fault
lines: Turkish versus Kurdish na-
tionalism, secular-urban versus
the Sunni majority. This is a
winning formula,” he said.
“This is not a better formula for
Turkey,” he added.
Erdogan will remain in “cam-
paign mode” at least until next
March, when local elections are
set to be held, said Ozgur

At the same time, he “will need to
juggle an economic crisis of his
own making, and actually, he is
running out of ammunition,” he
said, noting that Turkey’s foreign
reserves had recently fallen be-
low zero for the first time since
2002.
Erdogan’s need to stabilize the
economy is likely to result in a
foreign policy less turbulent than
in the recent past, as Turkey
relied on short-term cash flows
from countries such as Russia,
the United Arab Emirates, Saudi
Arabia and Qatar. “He will be very
careful not to irritate them,”
Unluhisarcikli said. Turkey also
needs to “appease international
financial markets,” which would
require that Erdogan stabilize
relations with Europe and the
United States.
President Biden’s early, con-
gratulatory tweet after Erdogan’s
victory Sunday — and a phone
call between the two leaders
Monday — might show that both
countries are interested in de-es-
calating years of tense relations
over Syria and Turkey’s close
relations with Russia,
Unluhisarcikli said.
At home, though, “the level of
tension we witnessed during the
last couple of months is not
sustainable,” he said. “I don’t
expect tension to continue at this
level, but I don’t expect consensu-
al politics either. I expect
President Erdogan to decrease
tensions a little bit, only to re-in-
crease them” before the next elec-
tion.
For young voters like Ilgin
Yilmaz, who voted Sunday for
Kilicdaroglu, clinging to the pos-
sibility of Erdogan’s defeat even
as it looked unlikely, another
season of divisive politics seemed
too much to bear.
“I was born in the 2000s and I
woke up with this government,
and now I’m 23 years old and still
they are here,” she said. As a
woman, she feared the influence
of political parties aligned with
Erdogan that favor strictly curb-
ing women’s rights. As a medical
student, she was angered by the
president’s dismissive remarks
toward doctors who wanted to
leave Turkey over poor working
conditions.
“We really hate this govern-
ment,” she said.

Chinese police clash with protesters over mosque NATO’s peacekeepers
Plan to demolish dome is
part of Communist Party
move to control religion
BY C HRISTIAN S HEPHERD
AND V IC C HIANG
Residents of a majority-
Muslim town in southwestern
China clashed with police over
the weekend as they tried to stop
the demolition of a domed roof
from a centuries-old mosque,
part of the Chinese Communist
Party’s expanding effort to con-
trol religion.
Dozens of officers in riot gear
beat back a crowd as they pushed
toward the gate of the Najiaying
Mosque, an important seat of
worship and religious teaching
for ethnically Hui Muslims in
Yunnan province, on Saturday
morning, according to videos
sent to overseas activists and
posted to Twitter.
Later clips showed that police
had retreated from the area while
demonstrators staged a sit-in out-
side the gate that continued
through the night. Dozens of
camouflaged officers from the
armed police arrived on Sunday,
according to another video.
The incident appeared to be
related to a court judgment from
2020 that ruled some of the
mosque’s most recent renova-
tions were illegal, and ordered
demolition.
Calls to local phone numbers
Monday went directly to messag-
es indicating the lines were busy.
Activists speculated that authori-
ties had cut off local cell service.
On Sunday, Tonghai County
police labeled the incident “seri-
ously harmful to orderly social
management” and urged anyone
involved to surrender themselves
to law enforcement before June 6
for a chance at a lighter punish-
ment.
With a history that may stretch
as far back as the 13th century,
the Najiaying Mosque was ex-
panded many times over the
years to add buildings, as well as
four minarets and a domed roof.
In 2019, part of the structure was
listed as a protected cultural relic.
In recent years, however, Com-
munist Party restrictions on the
pious have escalated sharply. The

country’s top leader, Xi Jinping,
has demanded absolute political
loyalty of faith communities and
the “Sinicization” of religion.
Surveillance of religious lead-
ers has also intensified. A nation-
wide database of officially ap-
proved Islamic, Protestant and
Catholic religious teachers was
launched this month.
The campaign has focused on
Islam and Christianity because of
the party’s deep-seated fear of
faith being a vector for foreign
influence. As well as restricting
international exchanges and do-
nations, authorities have remod-
eled religious buildings whose
outward appearance was deemed
insufficiently Chinese.

gion that was home to millions of
Uyghur Muslims who speak Tur-
kic languages, was hit the hard-
est. There, the Sinicization push
was combined with a “deradical-

ber of mosques and shrines de-
stroyed in the region reach into
the thousands.
Unlike in Xinjiang, the Manda-
rin Chinese-speaking Hui minori-
ty originally avoided similarly
severe restrictions. But eventual-
ly, the crackdown spread to Is-
lamic communities across the
country’s northwest, including to
Hui in Qinghai.
Situated in an ethnically di-
verse and remote region of China,
the Hui of Yunnan are among the
last to face scrutiny. The region is
often held up as an example of an
ethnically and religiously diverse
place, where residents are adept
at navigating various identities
and being politically flexible
when necessary.
Even government-backed re-
searchers acknowledge that a
flexible approach historically al-
lowed Hui in Yunnan to avoid the
worst excesses of the Cultural
Revolution, when most of China’s
mosques, churches and temples
were closed.
At the time, the Najiaying
Mosque hosted readings of Mao

gans on the walls so the Hui could
meet and continue worshiping,
Li Hongchun, a researcher at the
Yunnan Academy of Social Sci-
ences, wrote in an article about
regional history published in
2010.
“At critical junctures when
faced with a political conflict that
could slip into violence, the Hui
of Najiaying kept quiet and ac-
tively engaged with the govern-
ment to dispel misunderstanding
and successfully avoid tragedy,”
demonstrating a “unique kind of
ethnic survival wisdom,” he said.
But that space for negotiation
and a nonviolent outcome ap-
pears to be shrinking.
On Monday, as news of the
unrest spread, nationalist com-
mentators urged a forceful re-
sponse. On microblog Weibo, Xi
Wuyi, an influential Marxist
scholar at the Chinese Academy
of Social Sciences known for her
hard-line stance against religious
expression, called for “zero toler-
ance” of what she labeled crimi-
nal activities.

ZvECAN, Kosovo — The NATO-
led peacekeeping force said on
Monday that 25 of its troops were
injured in clashes with ethnic
Serbs in northern Kosovo after
they tried to take over the offices
of one of the municipalities
where ethnic Albanian mayors
took up their posts last week.
The Serbs clashed with NATO
troops and Kosovo police in the
municipality of Zvecan, 28 miles
north of the capital. The soldiers
fired tear gas and stun grenades
to protect the Kosovar officers
and disperse protesters, accord-
ing to witnesses. The assembled
Serbs responded by throwing
rocks and other hard objects at
them.
“Several soldiers of the Italian
and Hungarian KFOR contingent
were the subject of unprovoked
attacks and sustained trauma
wounds with fractures and burns
due to the explosion of incendiary
devices,” said the NATO peace-
keepers in a statement.
Some Kosovo police vehicles
and one belonging to journalists
were damaged and sprayed with
Serb nationalist symbols.
Addressing the nation late
Monday, Serbian President Alek-
sandar Vucic said he would spend
the night with his troops on the
border with Kosovo who were
placed on the highest state of
alert on his orders last week. He
said 52 Serbs were injured in the
clashes, three seriously, and four
were detained.
“The consequences (of the
clashes) are big and grave and the
sole culprit is (Kosovo Prime Min-
ister) Albin Kurti,” Vucic said. He
referred to the Albanian forces in
the north Kosovo as “occupiers.”
The violence was the latest
incident as tensions soared over
the past weekend, with Serbia
putting the country’s military on
high alert and sending more
troops to the border with Kosovo,
which declared independence
from Belgrade in 2008.
Kosovo and Serbia have been
foes for decades, with Belgrade
refusing to recognize Kosovo’s
A13
sovereignty.
The United States and the Eu-
ropean Union have stepped up
efforts to help solve the Kosovo-
Serbia dispute, fearing further
instability in Europe as Russia’s
war rages in Ukraine. The E.U.
has made it clear to both Serbia
and Kosovo they must normalize
relations if they’re to make any
progress toward joining the bloc.
Russian Foreign Minister Ser-
gei Lavrov described the situa-
tion in Kosovo as “worrisome,”
blaming the United States and
NATO for claiming dominance in
that part of the world.
“A big ‘explosion’ is brewing in
the center of Europe, in the very
place where, in 1999, NATO car-
ried out aggression against Yugo-

referring to the NATO-led inter-
vention in 1999 that stopped a
bloody Serb crackdown against
ethnic Albanian separatists.

and the NATO-led Kosovo Force,

last month.
The votes were largely boycot-
ted by ethnic Serbs, who form the
majority in those areas. Only
ethnic Albanian or other smaller
minority representatives were
elected to the mayoral posts and
assemblies.
Serbia’s prime minister, Ana
Brnabic, criticized the interna-
tional handling of events in Koso-
vo, saying that KFOR was “not

protecting the usurpers,” appar-
ently referring to the new mayors.

As retailers face head winds, some fly out to the suburbs
Companies try to hold on in urban centers despite organized shoplifting, declining foot traffic after the pandemic and rapidly rising labor and rent prices
BY J ACLYN P EISER
Keith Redmond wasn’t
thrilled when Giant Food closed
one of the entrances to its super-
market in Bowie, Md., because it
created a longer walk to the
pharmacy for his elderly father.
So when Redmond spotted
company president Ira Kress
walking past oranges in the pro-
duce section recently, he made a
point of politely voicing his con-
cerns for his father. “He’s got
mobility issues,” said Redmond,
who recognized Kress from his
photo on signs around the store.
“From a customer’s point of view,
it’s frustrating.”
Kress would rather not make it
harder for shoppers to enter the
supermarkets he oversees, but
closing the entrance is worth it,
he said, because it creates more
obstacles for shoplifters and al-
lows for fewer guards. It’s one
way the regional grocery chain is
trying to confront a trend report-
ed by retailers across the coun-
try: rampant and pervasive theft.
Crime isn’t the only problem
retailers face right now. There’s
also decreased foot traffic in
urban centers and inflation-re-
lated issues such as higher labor
and real estate costs. Combined,
these forces are leading some of
the country’s largest companies
to take a hard look at underper-
forming markets, and in some
cases, close stores.
But shoplifting is high on
Kress’s mind these days.
“To say [theft has] risen ten-
fold in the last five years would
not be an understatement,” Kress
said, noting that violence has
also “increased exponentially.”
The Bowie store is about 19
miles east of downtown D.C. But
the problems retailers face have
been particularly pronounced in
larger cities — Walmart, Whole
Foods, Nike, Kroger, Nordstrom,
Old Navy and Target have an-
nounced exits from major urban
areas. In addition to D.C. itself,
other cities seeing news of stores
pulling out include San Francis-
co, Portland, Ore., Philadelphia,
Chicago, Atlanta and Seattle.
The trend, which industry ex-
perts say is in its beginning
stages, could foreshadow a fur-
ther emptying of downtowns al-
ready wounded by the pandemic.
Although retail vacancy rates for
dense urban centers have been
declining over the past decade,
figures from real estate data firm
CoStar show the numbers inch-
ing up in some cities.
“For the big box and the gro-
cery [stores], which are trying to
optimize a single-digit margin, it
is very difficult to operate, and
you will see more and more exits
happening,” said Lakshman
Lakshmanan, senior director in
Alvarez & Marsal’s consumer and
retail group.
Giant Food — which has 165
supermarkets across D.C., Dela-
ware, Maryland and Virginia —
hasn’t closed any stores yet, and
Kress said he’s taking certain
actions, knowing they inconve-
nience shoppers, because “the
alternative is worse for custom-
ers.”
“The last thing I want to do is
close stores,” Kress added. “But
I’ve got to be able to run them
safely and profitably.”
Crime
Idling near the bakery display,
waving hello to associates stock-
ing produce, Kress reminisced
about his early years at the
supermarket chain. As an 18-
year-old working as a part-time
cashier at a store in Montgomery
County, Md., Kress often saw
people snatch cigarette boxes
from a large display at an aisle
endcap.
Thieves now target many oth-
er goods, Kress said. “It’s contin-
ued to escalate,” he said. “So now
it’s Tide and Dove and razor
blades and Olay, or roasts or
shrimp or crab legs.”
And violence has become a
constant worry for him.
“We used to chase shoplifters,”
he said. “And you’d get the prod-
uct back, and nobody would ever
fight you. … I didn’t worry about
somebody pulling a knife or gun
on me [40] years ago.”
Kress frequently considers the
worst-case scenario. Last year, a
woman at a Giant store fired her
gun at an armed guard after he
confronted her for stealing. The
guard also discharged his weap-
on, and they both died.
Shoplifting has also become a
form of organized crime involv-
ing coordinated operations
“from the theft of goods through
the laundering of proceeds gen-
erated from the resale of stolen
merchandise,” according to a
Economy & Business
The exterior of San Francisco’s Westfield Mall, where Nordstrom is located. The company announced it will not be renewing its leases with the shopping center.
study from the National Retail
Federation.
“We’re seeing the highest level
of organized retail crime and
theft ever,” Lakshmanan said.
Retailers reported that inci-
dents of organized retail crime
increased in 2021 by an average
of 26.5 percent, according to the
retail federation. Store owners,
the report says, blamed orga-
nized retail crime for about half
of the $94.5 billion lost that year
to retail shrink — the depletion
of inventory caused by some-
thing other than sales.
Stores are experimenting with
ways to mitigate the issue. Giant
Food has hired security guards —
some of them armed, depending
on the history of violence in a
given store — and limited self-
checkout to 20 items. The com-
pany also secured items such as
razor blades in wall dispensers
that make noise when items are
removed.
REI, which announced it is
closing its Portland, Ore., loca-
tion next year after nearly 20
years there, spent more than
$800,000 in 2022 on additional
security at the location, a spokes-
person told The Washington
Post. This includes new windows
with security glass, around-the-
clock patrols, better outdoor
lighting and a new security cam-
era system.
A Whole Foods store in down-
town San Francisco placed fliers
on shelves instructing customers
to find a team member to retrieve
alcohol, supplements and other
high-value merchandise such as
Manuka honey from the back,
according to Chris Torossian, a
former manager in the bakery
department.
“I was kind of surprised at the
amount of effort that went into
trying to mitigate the situation,”
Ira Kress, president of Giant Food, is using some creative methods to try to cut down on shoplifting at
his stores. “The last thing I want to do is close stores,” he said.
eZ re
he said.
Theft occurred “pretty much
daily,” Torossian added, and he
frequently heard from co-work-
ers who felt unsafe. Team mem-
bers were instructed not to chase
or accuse shoplifters. In one
instance, someone threw a cup of
hot coffee on an employee’s face
after they confronted the indi-
vidual for stealing the drink,
Torossian said. He also heard of
instances where thieves bran-
dished knives.
In April, the company said it
was closing the location “for the
time being” to “ensure the safety
of our Team Members.”
(Whole Foods’s parent compa-
ny, Amazon, was founded by Jeff
Bezos, who owns The Washing-
ton Post)
That San Francisco location
had a police presence, Torossian
said. But most retailers don’t get
that kind of support, Kress not-
ed.
“We have the police come to
our stores … they’ll take the
information, they’ll record it,” he
said. “But there’s really nothing
being done with that, because
they had two homicides that
were a bank robbery and two
shootings. So it’s like, where are
they going to focus their time
and attention?”
Whole Foods did not respond
to a request for comment for this
story.
Economic pressures
As Kress stood near the cus-
tomer service counter with the
store manager for the Bowie
location, the health and beauty
care aisle manager approached
with a dilemma. Giant Food had
a new policy to thin the shelves of
high-value, frequently stolen
items, but she couldn’t limit her
inventory of vitamins that day
because the store was running a
buy-two-get-one-free special.
An easy solution would have
been to skim the shelves and
keep an associate nearby who
could quickly replenish items out
of stock. But the aisle manager
was leaving at 2 p.m., and there
wasn’t enough staff to take over
afterward.
“You couldn’t ever do that —
and schedule people and pay for
it,” Kress said. “That’s why all of
this is so hard.”
Like most retailers, Giant
Food operates on slim profit
margins. Retailers’ costs for op-
“It’s not an exodus, it’s
a transfer. It’s some
leaving, other things
coming in, to create a
new equilibrium.”
Ethan Chernofsky,
Senior vice president
of marketing at Placer.ai, on stores
moving from cities to suburbs
erations, labor and rent have all
increased during this inflation-
ary era, and the issues have been
exacerbated in large urban areas,
where minimum wages are high-
er and store inventory delivery is
more complicated and often ac-
crues traffic fines, according to
Lakshmanan.
Meanwhile, the labor market
remains hot, with unemploy-
ment rates hitting a post-pan-
demic low of 3.4 percent.
“It’s harder to hire people,”
said Mark Zandi, chief economist
at Moody’s Analytics. “Labor
shortages are a real problem, and
JAhi chikWendiu/the WAShinGton PoSt
the washington post
wage costs have risen dramati-
cally.”
Rents are still elevated, Zandi
added, though he expects them
to start declining in urban cen-
ters as more retailers leave.
Shifting consumer behavioral
trends aren’t helping. New gov-
ernment data and earnings re-
ports indicate that more Ameri-
cans are being strategic — hunt-
ing for deals, settling for more
affordable options and focusing
on essentials.
Moving to suburbs
There was a lot of buzz among
Whole Foods staff in San Francis-
co when the 65,000-square-foot
flagship store opened last March
at Eighth and Market streets.
Torossian, who had worked in
stores for seven years prior, was
among them. But it became clear
soon after opening that things
weren’t going as planned.
“I can say for sure that the
sales and the traffic … were
definitely lower than what we
were projected to do,” Torossian
said.
Nordstrom cited diminishing
foot traffic as a reason for not
renewing leases for its store in
Westfield Mall and a Nordstrom
Rack across the street in down-
town San Francisco. Target said
it was a reason for store closures
in Philadelphia and Minneapo-
lis.
Tom McGee, president and
chief executive of the ICSC, for-
merly known as the Internation-
al Council of Shopping Centers,
said remote work has had the
“most significant” impact on re-
tail in urban areas.
“People aren’t going into the
offices at the same level of fre-
quency that they did pre-pan-
demic,” he said, and these stores
“are very dependent upon office
traffic.”
Findings from foot traffic ana-
lytics firm Placer.ai showed that
nationwide retail foot traffic fell
5 percent in March year-over-
year. New York saw a 14.2 percent
drop in April compared with the
same period in 2019. Los Angeles
foot traffic fell 12.6 percent, and
Chicago’s dropped 7.2 percent.
Some of the larger U.S. cities
seeing higher retail vacancy rates
include Los Angeles, Chicago,
San Francisco, D.C. and Detroit,
according to data from CoStar.
In many cases, stores are mov-
ing to the suburbs. After Nike
closed its downtown Seattle store
in January, it opened a new
location months later at an up-
scale shopping center in nearby
Bellevue, Wash. The company
would not tell The Post why it
closed its Seattle store but said:
“We regularly evaluate our store
locations to give us the best
opportunity to personally con-
nect with consumers through
premium products, experiences
and services.”
Retail in the suburbs is doing
“exceptionally” well, McGee said,

with re-leasing rates up and va-
cancies low. In this case, remote
work has helped these stores, he
added. Plus, many millennials
moved to the suburbs during the
pandemic and retailers followed,
according to Ethan Chernofsky,
senior vice president of market-
ing at Placer.ai.
“It’s not an exodus, it’s a trans-
fer,” he said. “It’s some leaving,
other things coming in, to create
a new equilibrium.”
Community consequences
Bryson Wilson worked at the
Walmart on D.C.’s H Street for
three years before he left in 2020,
but he returned often as a cus-
tomer. In the past year he noticed
uneven inventory on shelves and
saw videos of broken freezers.
But Wilson still found news of
the store shutting down earlier
this year shocking and devastat-
ing — not just for himself, but for
his former colleagues and the
community.
In a statement to The Post, a
Walmart spokesman said “there
is no single cause” for the D.C.
closure. “Ultimately, these deci-
sions are based on a number of
factors, including performance,
population, customer needs, and
proximity to nearby locations,”
said Charles Crowson, Walmart’s
senior director of global commu-
nications.
Many older shoppers on fixed
incomes rode the bus to the store,
where they bought groceries and
filled their prescriptions, Wilson
said. Walmart was also the
cheapest check-cashing option in
the area, he added.
“That’s what I find really
heartbreaking,” Wilson said.
“Where are these senior citizens,
who don’t have access to cars and
have limited income, going to
shop?”
That kind of consequence
weighs heavily on Kress, he said,
because Giant Food embeds itself
in communities, partnering with
local nonprofits and sponsoring
Little League Baseball teams. It
fuels his frustration when politi-
cal leaders criticize retailers for
leaving cities.
“It’s laughable for any of our
politicians — and I’ve offered to
meet and talk with any of them —
to be ignorant to what’s going on
in their communities, in their
jurisdictions, with their constitu-
ents,” he said. “And for politicians
to blame businesses … for leaving
is embarrassing.”
Back near the oranges in Bow-
ie, Redmond listened as Kress
explained the store’s reasons for
closing the entrance near the
pharmacy.
And after making his com-
plaint to the company president,
the shopper commiserated with
him: “I’m sorry you’re going
through all these problems,” Red-
mond said.

Both sides work to secure votes for a debt ceiling deal

dEBT FrOm A1
government will exhaust funding
to pay its bills. mcCarthy needs a
“majority of the majority,” or at
least half of the 222 republicans
in the House, even to bring the bill
to the floor. He could lose up to 111
of his own party members but
then would need up to 107 Demo-
cratic votes to pass the bill.
mcCarthy returned to the Capi-
tol on monday morning but pro-
vided no new details. He went to
his office to continue the work of
selling the bill to fellow republi-
cans.
House republicans had al-
ready begun to reach out to mem-
bers who have publicly expressed
opposition, as well as others on
their radar who could be con-
vinced. Leaders of each of the
republican ideological factions
were aiming to get a sense of
where their membership stands
ahead of their return to the Capi-
tol on Tuesday evening, when
leaders will work during vote se-
ries to whip support among ap-
parent holdouts.
rep. Dusty Johnson (r-S.D.),
who chairs the pragmatic con-
servative main Street Caucus,
said leaders and their allies are
working the phones, sitting down
with members and “working
through the bill,” specifically not-
ing how some defense hawks have
concerns that military spending
would not be increased signifi-
cantly.
“This thing will absolutely
pass,” Johnson said. “I’ve talked to
dozens of members, and listen,
not every single member is on
board. … We’ve got a big diversity
of opinions in the U.S. House.
Some people are going to vote no,
but a lot more are going to vote
yes.”
rep. Stephanie I. Bice (r-Okla.)
echoed that point, stressing,
“How can [republicans] not be
comfortable with the $2.1 trillion
in savings?”
On “Fox News Sunday,” mcCar-
thy brushed off criticism from
some House republicans that he
had failed to extract sufficient
spending cuts, saying, “Well,
that’s okay, because more than
95 percent of all those in the con-
ference were very excited.” He
continued to predict that he
would have all the necessary GOP
votes and that far-right members
of his conference would not move
to vacate him as speaker.
While neither side would pub-
licly reveal its whip counts, GOP
leaders and Biden tried to project
confidence that they were making
progress toward securing a
healthy majority.
mcCarthy’s top allies convened
a conference call with 14 republi-
ting updates throughout the day,
the official added.
As Biden was leaving the White
House on monday afternoon, he
was asked whether he was confi-
dent that the debt ceiling deal
would pass Congress, and he re-
plied, “I feel very good about it.”
He said he had spoken with a
number of lawmakers, including
Senate minority Leader mitch
mcConnell (r-Ky.).
White House officials had
briefed House Democrats in a
Sunday call, running through the
bill and trying to assuage lawmak-
ers’ concerns by answering ques-
tions about specifics. House Dem-
ocratic leaders began to poll their
members on support for the deal,

100 pragmatic Democrats, whose
leaders pledged Sunday to help
shepherd the votes necessary to
prevent a default. Notably, the
White House has not set up a
similar call with the liberal fac-
tion, the Congressional Progres-
sive Caucus, whose members have
expressed frustration that Biden
didn’t do enough to include their
concerns in the negotiations.
New Democrat Coalition Chair
Ann Kuster (D-N.H.), pressed on
whether she thought there would
be significant support for the leg-
islation among Democrats who
are concerned that key parts of
the party’s platform were not ad-
dressed, said she expected that
most of the bipartisan votes
would come from ideologically
centered groups like hers.
“There will be some bitter pills
to swallow. But at the end of the
day,” she said, “it’s very clear that
you can be part of the solution or
part of the problem. And right
now our country needs us to step
up and be part of the solution.”
On monday, Ben LaBolt, the
White House communications di-
rector, told mSNBC that the
White House is focusing on per-
suading Democrats to accept the
deal. He said Biden had seen “sup-
portive signs” from center-left
House Democrats, while other
House members were still receiv-
ing the bill text. “We’re hopeful …
that they will end up supporting
the agreement,” he said.
Shalanda Young, director of the
Office of management and Budg-
et and a lead negotiator, told the
“Today” show monday that she
was confident members of Con-
gress would support the deal be-
cause they “know that default
would have been devastating to
this country — and on balance,
this deal strikes a responsible
tone.”
The first real test comes Tues-
day afternoon, when the House
rules Committee will meet to
consider the bill. Four Democrats
and nine republicans sit on the
panel, including three who side
with the far-right wing of the GOP
conference. reps. ralph Norman
(r-S.C.) and Chip roy (r-Tex.)
have already come out in opposi-
tion.
In a positive sign for mcCarthy,
rep. Thomas massie (r-Ky.), a key
swing vote on that panel who is
popular among far-right con-
servatives, used social media
posts to tout aspects of the deal,
particularly its inclusion of a
measure he sponsored for a man-
datory 1 percent cut in govern-
ment accounts if Congress doesn’t
pass all of its bills to fund federal
agencies.
“That’s in this debt limit deal,”
massie tweeted late Sunday, post-
ing an image of the bill’s text with
a red arrow drawn to his provi-
sion. He has not formally en-
dorsed the overall legislation, but
his posts have generally praised
the process and content of the
measure.
In the Senate, at least nine
republicans will need to join all
51 members of the Democratic
caucus to send the bill to Biden’s
desk. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham
(r-S.C.) has come out against the
deal. But mcConnell, the republi-
can Senate leader, issued a state-
ment Sunday night backing the
legislation, calling on the Senate
to “act swiftly and pass this agree-
ment without unnecessary delay.”
Economists have begun to
weigh in, suggesting that the deal
to raise the debt ceiling appeared
to be good news for the economy,
which has been on uneven footing
lately.
mark Zandi, chief economist at
moody’s Analytics, tweeted Sun-
day that while some of the pro-
posed cuts could become an “eco-
nomic headwind later this year
and next,” they would not be dra-
matic enough to topple the econo-
my.
“A sigh of relief will be appro-
priate when the deal becomes
law,” he wrote, “as it will help the
nation avoid a recession.”

electric transmission projects —
crucial to Biden’s goal of transi-
tioning away from fossil fuels —
but excluded such provisions from
this deal. The White House also
said it fended off efforts to cut
billions in spending from major
legislation Biden had champi-
oned, including last year’s roughly
$370 billion package that funded
his climate agenda.
That was not enough to please
environmental groups. The Sierra
Club on monday called for Con-
gress to reject it, as did Sen. Tim
Kaine (D) from Virginia, where
both U.S. senators have opposed
the pipeline project.
Kaine said monday he planned
to propose an amendment to strip
the bill of the pipeline provisions.

White House spokesman Abdul-

White House officials also said

Washington
completes
its most
idiotic ritual
T I
he tiresome, pointless and dan-
gerous exercise of flirting with
the debt ceiling is the most
idiotic ritual our elected lead-
ers in Washington regularly perform.
It’s like running with the bulls in
Pamplona — but without the adrena-
line rush, and with graver consequenc-
es for a false step.
The 2023 production of this melodra-
ma appears to be nearing its finale. On
Saturday, President Biden and House
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)
reached an agreement “in principle”
that it would be better, on balance, not
to crash the global economy and rob the
nation of trillions of dollars in wealth.
I’ll go out on a limb and say that most
Americans would agree.
Now, like a washing machine
toward the end of its cycle, we have
shifted into the spin phase. House
Republicans who support the deal
McCarthy negotiated on their behalf
crowed Sunday that they made out
like bandits. The deal is a “remarkable
conservative achievement” that pro-
vides “no wins for Democrats,”
Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) said on
CNN. “Overwhelmingly, Republicans
in this conference are going to support
the deal. How could they not? It is a
fantastic deal.”
The initial reaction from Democrats,
by contrast, ranged from caution to
skepticism. Minority Leader Hakeem
Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said that “there will be
Democratic support . . . but I’m not
going to predict what those numbers
may ultimately look like.” Rep. Pramila
Jayapal (D-Wash.), chair of the Con-
gressional Progressive Caucus, said she
did not yet know if she will vote for the
deal, blasting its strengthened work
requirements for food stamp recipients
as “absolutely terrible policy.” Rep. Jim
Himes (D-Conn.) said he is “tempted to
say” that he is a “no.”
In keeping with the rules of post-
negotiation spin, all of this probably
means the opposite of what it purports
to say. Based on what we’ve learned
about the Biden-McCarthy agreement
so far, it looks to me as though
Republicans got relatively less of what
they wanted, while Democrats got
relatively more.
The biggest win of all, for the nation,
is that apparently we get a near
two-year respite from this ridiculous
game. Congress or the president
should use that time to eliminate the
debt ceiling once and for all.
At issue, remember, is whether the
U.S. government will honor the debts
and spending commitments Congress
has already made. It would be an
unmitigated catastrophe if the world’s
greatest economic power, issuer of the
world’s most widely used and trusted
reserve currency, were to turn dead-
beat and fail to pay its bills. Debating
whether Biden or McCarthy deserved
most of the blame would be irrelevant.
Interest rates would soar, and retire-
ment accounts plummet, for Republi-
cans and Democrats alike.
I’m all for a debate on how to
address the nation’s $31.46 trillion debt
— a rational debate, considering both
spending and revenue. This should
take place, however, during the budget
and appropriations processes, which I
dimly remember from the days when
Congress was functional. It makes
absolutely no sense to try to implement
sensible, effective, long-term policies
under a sky-is-falling deadline.
So far, no Congress or president has
been reckless enough to let the sky
actually fall. Even Donald Trump,
when he was president, scoffed at the
idea of using the debt ceiling as a
bargaining chip. In his town hall on
CNN, Trump urged Republicans to pull
the pin on the default grenade — “You
might as well do it now, because you’ll
do it later,” he said — but I took his
words as nothing but bluster for the
MAGA base. It should be noted that the
debt grew by a whopping $7.8 trillion
during Trump’s four years in office.
Assuming the deal that Biden and
McCarthy worked out makes it through
both chambers of Congress and is
signed into law, there will be some
painful but survivable time-limited
cuts to “discretionary” spending — the
kind that actually helps people. Work
requirements for food-stamp recipi-
ents, which now end at age 50, will be
extended to age 54. The permitting
process for energy projects, “dirty” and
clean alike, will be shortened. Defense
spending will rise, as it always does.
And we will not have to revisit the debt
ceiling question for nearly two years.
I have an idea: How about never?
Does never work for you?
Democrats should have tried to do
away with the debt ceiling when they
controlled the White House and both
chambers of Congress. After this agree-
ment is signed and sealed, Biden
should look for a way to have the
Supreme Court decide whether the
14th Amendment makes the debt ceil-
ing unconstitutional, as some legal
scholars believe.
Reasonable people need to stop the
madness. One of these times, unreason-
able people will miscalculate — and
deal the nation a crippling self-inflicted
blow.
The ghosts in my garden
keep on giving, year after year
BY K RISTIN VAN O GTROP
A
n invasive ground cover is
taking over the pachysandra
bed in my front yard at a
remarkable rate. According
to a plant identifier app, it’s glechoma
hederacea: ground ivy. I don’t know
how it got there, and I don’t hate it. A
member of the mint family, it is small
and beautiful, with delicate purple
flowers; apparently you can steep it in
hot water to make tea. But I am wor-
ried about what it means for my rela-
tionship with Aunt Marca.
I am an average gardener, passion-
ate but feckless. I have enough sense
not to hedge-clipper my azaleas into
giant, round, Volkswagen Beetle-sized
blobs, but not enough expertise to
prune my flowering quince without
first watching a YouTube tutorial. My
sisters and I find it funny that the
chore we most hated growing up —
weeding the garden — has become a
favorite way to spend a Saturday after-
noon. Love of gardening was passed
down from our mother to us, gradual-
ly but persistently, like ground ivy
overtaking pachysandra.
My husband and I bought our
house 19 years ago from a woman
named Valerie who didn’t seem to care
much for gardening; instead, she
hired a landscape designer who later
informed me that Valerie loved “ro-
mantic flowers.” Though I still don’t
know what that means, exactly, I think
of — and silently thank — romantic
Valerie every year as the lavender
lilacs and pink peonies compete for

yard.
After I took over Valerie’s garden, I

Silicon Valley didn’t learn from Elizabeth Holmes
E
lizabeth Holmes tried finding a
workaround, but the disgraced
Silicon Valley entrepreneur must
finally report to prison on Tues-
day. Silicon Valley, for its part, has barely
paused to notice.
Federal prosecutors indicted Holmes
five years ago on multiple counts of con-
spiracy and defrauding investors and pa-
tients through her failed Silicon Valley
start-up, Theranos. Convicted early last
year on four of those charges and sen-
tenced to 11 years and three months in
prison, Holmes is set to report to a mini-
mum-security “prison camp” about
100 miles from Houston.
Holmes made multiple efforts to wiggle
out of doing time, including repeated
maneuvers by a legal team estimated to
have cost more than $30 million. She
allegedly contemplated fleeing to Mexico.
And since her conviction, she and her
partner, Billy Evans, conceived a second
child; she gave birth in February. Holmes
revealed in a fawning profile in the New
York Times — which recast her as “Liz” —
that she has been volunteering for a rape
crisis hotline.
Holmes’s saga was always a Rorschach
test for how to think about the Valley, a
cautionary tale that either exposed the
“fake it till you make it” mentality of
start-ups or served as a prime example of
the deep-seated misogyny in the technol-
ogy industry. How is it that a woman is
going to jail while the Valley, although
chock-full of geniuses, still shields a re-
markable number of entitled male grift-
ers cashing in on all the ready money?
More likely, Holmes will be remem-
bered as a colorful executive who lied
about what her company could do and
suffered the consequences. When her trial
began in September 2021, much was
made about what her case said about an
industry that changed the world — and
not always for the better. Yet despite her
black turtlenecks and Stanford dropout
cred, neither Holmes nor Theranos was
really of Silicon Valley. Her venture capital
backers weren’t among the A-list inves-
tors who had funded the likes of Apple,
Google and Facebook. Theranos was a
medical device company, a totally distinct
— and, truth to tell, junior varsity — subset
of the information technology ecosystem.

small spiral-bound notebook. Each
time I buy a plant, I tape the plastic
identifying tag that comes with it onto
a page, noting when I planted the item
and where. Almost two decades later,
the book is nearly full. But it doesn’t
tell the whole story. The plants that
mean the most to me didn’t come with
tags; they arrived in yogurt containers
and plastic bags and cardboard boxes.
My mother started it. Soon after we
bought the house, she began showing
up for every visit with plants in the
back of her car. They were things she
had dug up from her own beds so I
could plant them in mine. She was
helping us save money, yes, but the
plant sharing was an expression of
love, an unspoken lesson in perennial
connection. Each spring, when plants
poke through the soil, I am reminded
of my childhood home, which she sold
years ago. It’s as though my mother is
by my side as I walk around my garden
and admire her transplants: yellow
day lily, celadon poppy, mayapple, os-
trich ferns, the wild blue phlox that
smells like baby powder and looks
nice in a vase on the dining room table.
My garden is filled with the pres-
ence of other generous gardeners who
have given me plants over the years.
They are gifts that keep on giving,
season after season: epimedium from
Jim when he knew I needed a ground-
cover next to the patio; yellow tree
peonies and purple bearded irises
from Barbara before she moved away.
Evening primrose from my former
next-door neighbor, Mrs. Reynolds;
rose lily of the valley, that rare beauty,
from Uncle Petz in Ohio.
And, of course, the four flats of
pachysandra from Aunt Marca, which
we planted together, on a surprisingly
Elizabeth Holmes leaves federal court in San Jose in 2019.
But with a bit of hindsight, it’s already
clear that Holmes’s conviction and Thera-
nos’s failure have had zero impact on the
hubristic culture of the start-up world,
tut-tutting predictions to the contrary. As
you read this, entrepreneurs and inves-
tors who run the gamut from charlatans
to visionaries are setting aside business
plans focused on vague cryptocurrencies
and the blockchain and refocusing in-
stead on generative artificial intelligence.
(Sad you never figured out crypto? Don’t
be.) VC investments in the technology
behind the popular ChatGPT revolution
grew more than tenfold to $4.5 billion last
year from 2018. A new gold rush has
begun.
Despite widespread layoffs, tech com-
panies large and small are humming
along. Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet,
Google’s parent company, are each worth
well over $1 trillion. Nvidia, which sup-
plies semiconductors to computers that
host the “large language models” that
power AI applications, has supplanted
Intel as the dominant chip kingpin. Cre-
ative destruction continues to chew
through companies of all kinds.
A self-serving argument has crept up of
late that somehow Holmes was singled
out for something other than defrauding
investors. Holmes was acquitted on all
counts related to patients, and the jury
couldn’t agree on whether she defrauded
early Theranos investors. To some, that
means Holmes is being incarcerated only
for having hoodwinked the big-money
likes of Rupert Murdoch and Betsy DeVos.

hot spring weekend, laughing and
sweating, hands and knees brown

Fans of formal gardens would
frown upon the mishmash of colors
and shapes that dot my yard. But I
don’t care. Despite my deficiencies as
a gardener — columbine in various
shades keeps popping up for reasons I
can’t fathom; bleeding heart fails no

keep alive the plants that mean the
most, these living connections to peo-
ple and times that feel important to
me.
Until the glechoma hederacea
started taking over Aunt Marca’s
pachysandra bed.
A woman with no children of her
own, Marca was like a second mother
to me, with a terrific sense of humor
and an ability to find the best in people
and things. She loved wordplay, and so
would have made something of the
fact that glechoma rhymes with glio-
blastoma, which is the form of brain
cancer that, after a long struggle, end-
ed her life last fall. A physician once
told me that glioblastoma is like a web
that can thread its way through the
folds of the brain before you know it is
there. Like ground ivy, it takes over —
and obliterates.
Gardening is serendipitous, espe-
cially in a yard such as mine, full of
donated plants and a haphazard de-
sign scheme. I wonder: What would
Marca have done with the ground ivy?
I’m not sure. She could find beauty in
unexpected places. At least for this
year, I might just leave it alone.

Theranos, and more of a message to ambi-
tious women everywhere. Don’t girl boss
too close to the sun, or this could happen to
you . . .”
That’s some snazzy writing, but it lands
some distance from the truth. I attended
day after day of her ennui-inducing nearly
four-month trial in San Jose, and I saw
just how fair a shake Holmes received. She
was convicted by a diligent jury of her
peers, responding to instructions by a
judge who gave Holmes every opportu-
nity to defend herself. Having been there,
I can confirm that the trial was very much
about what Holmes did and didn’t do at
Theranos. (And let’s not forget the Thera-
nos fiasco also snagged a guy: Sunny
Balwani, Holmes’s former romantic and
business partner, who was also convicted
and sentenced to federal prison in a sepa-
rate trial.)
Silicon Valley, in all its brilliance and
arrogance, its paradigm-shifting moon-
shots and its spectacular failures, just
keeps iterating, in most ways oblivious to
its own shortcomings. The captivating
rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes did
nothing to change that.

The race to be
the GOP’s
biggest loser
in 2024 is on
understand why Ron DeSantis thinks
Republican primary voters might
want an alternative to Donald
Trump. I get why conservative stal-
warts such as Nikki Haley and Chris
Christie think the voters might welcome
an alternative to DeSantis.
What’s less clear is why Chris Sununu
and Asa Hutchinson would think there’s
any market in today’s Republican Party
for a kinder, gentler voice. Do they really
think a pro-governing pragmatist can win
the nomination?
The answer is probably not. But that
doesn’t mean there aren’t other things —
celebrity, adoration, even financial oppor-
tunity — to be won by trying.
I’m not suggesting that Sununu and
Hutchinson, the governor of New Hamp-
shire and a former governor of Arkansas,
respectively, don’t tell themselves they’ve
got a legitimate shot at becoming the next
president. (Hutchinson has already an-
nounced his candidacy, and Sununu has
said he’s thinking about it.) I’m suggest-
ing there’s a reasonable Plan B.
In 2016, a lot of people wondered why
John Kasich, then the governor of Ohio,
got into the race late and then slogged
through months of primaries, long after it
was clear that Donald Trump was cruis-
ing to the nomination. Kasich won exact-
ly one state — his own.
I talked to Kasich a lot back then, and I
can tell you: He wanted very much to be
president and believed he could win,
right up until the moment he knew he
couldn’t.
But Kasich came away from that cam-
paign with something that would have
seemed unthinkable for most of his
career, when he was largely reviled on the
left as a blustery, union-busting religious
zealot. By standing up to Trump and
making the case for civility in public life,
he became — at least in the eyes of a lot of
Democrats, independents and the news
media — the fatherly conscience of the
Republican Party.
There’s an established template for
this kind of campaign, and it goes back
to 2000, when John McCain defied his
party and tried to derail George
W. Bush’s highly choreographed march
to the nomination. For most of his long
career in Congress and the Senate,
McCain, like Kasich, had been a reliable
conservative vote on most everything,
and his organization had exerted a
distinctly undemocratic control over
politics in Arizona.
But in 2000, McCain ran expertly as a
bombastic reformer in the tradition of
Theodore Roosevelt, recasting himself as
a truth-telling antidote to partisan ex-
tremism. In narrowly losing and incur-
ring the contempt of his own party’s
leaders, he transformed himself, for a
long moment, into the most popular and
marketable politician in America.
When McCain (who was nothing if not
persistent) finally managed to wrest the
nomination in 2008, largely by sucking
up to Bush, he found, to his enduring
frustration, that he had sacrificed his
most powerful asset along the way. By
trading in his “maverick” image for the
role of Republican elder, he betrayed his
most avid constituency.
Four years later, an obscure former
governor named Jon Huntsman Jr. re-
turned triumphantly from his post as
ambassador to China to run on a similar
platform of moderation and civility. He
failed spectacularly (accompanying him
on his first trip to New Hampshire, I
compared him, not unfairly, to the “Un-
frozen Caveman Lawyer” from “Saturday
Night Live”), but even that debacle of a
campaign was enough to elevate Hunts-
man to the roles of minor statesman and
frequent media guest.
Incidentally, all three candidates —
McCain, Huntsman and Kasich — relied
on a renegade image-maker named John
Weaver, who can fairly be credited with
pioneering this Republican strategy of
winning over just about everybody but
Republican voters.
If this is the kind of campaign Sununu
and Hutchinson have in mind, then
ideology has little to do with it. Hutchin-
son, in fact, is about as socially conserva-
tive as you can get. What “moderate”
means now, at least to the media and the
left, is a refusal to demonize Democrats
or cave to conspiracy theories. Most of
all, it means clearly condemning Trump
and his insurrectionist movement. (I
suppose this would make Christie as
moderate as anyone, but his previous
ties to Trump make him a hard sell as a
national healer.)
The odds of winning the nomination
with this kind of strategy are probably
close to nonexistent. But the odds of
emerging with a serious public platform,
if you do it well? Maybe a book deal or
even a cable show? Those are odds I
would take.
It’s worth noting, though, that if Su-
nunu or Hutchinson plan to audition for
the role of lonely Republican statesman,
they might have to reckon with some
competition. Liz Cheney, a former con-
gresswoman who was banished by her
party after voting for Trump’s impeach-
ment, hasn’t ruled out an independent
bid herself, and I wouldn’t dismiss her
chances.
In the perennial primary to become the
conservative icon of NPR listeners and
humanities professors everywhere, she’s
off to a commanding lead.

Will focus on policy and

BY N ICK A NDERSON

George Washington Univer-

humanitarian activist José An-
drés to launch a Global Food
Institute in the nation’s capital,
with a mandate to study inequi-
ties in hunger, nutrition and
related issues, as well as identify
solutions to problems with the
world’s food supply.
For Andrés, a spanish Ameri-
can immigrant who has founded
numerous restaurants in the
Washington area, the intersec-
tion of food with humanitarian
issues — including disaster relief
— has long been a major focus.
now he wants to help bolster
academic inquiries into the food
system. The university an-
nounced on May 23 that Andrés
has made a “founding gift” — of

establish the institute.

Doing the right thing
Some of the girls behind the

since they were 5. They have
become friends through camp-
ing, hiking and kayaking trips,
including one near the marlton
forest.

cy not only influences the organi-

but also inspires other young

people to make a change in their
communities. rishima Singh, 13,
of fairfax said this was her first
time protesting — and she hopes
to continue.
The girls said they often think
about their future on this planet
and worry how climate change is
destroying it.
Nethra, who helped start a
climate advocacy group at her
middle school, cited the “30 by
30” agreement reached last year
at a U.N. biodiversity summit,
calling on nations to conserve for
wildlife at least 30 percent of
land, inland waterways, and
coastal and ocean areas by 2030.
The possible sale of this forest to
the m-NCPPC, she said, presents
an opportunity to follow that
guidance.
The m-NCPPC was hoping to
purchase and preserve the land,
while possibly providing natural
surface walking trails for visitors,
Quattrocchi said. The forest is
entirely within the Patuxent wa-
tershed, a critical area for drink-
ing water, with mature trees and
animals and plants such as mar-
bled salamanders and putty root
orchids, he said.

“win-win” in terms of providing
the organization with funds and
conserving valuable land, accord-
ing to a may 2022 letter of inter-
est the commission sent to Girl
Scouts Nation’s Capital.
“Just kind of the sheer size and
the fact that this intact forest is
still there, is just a windfall of an
opportunity for resource conser-
vation,” Quattrocchi said. “We’re
acting in good faith, you know,
kind of a handshake agreement
at this point. But yeah, I’m rea-
sonably optimistic.”
The girls hope that Girl Scouts
Nation’s Capital will sell the land
to the park commission over de-
velopers. meanwhile, they want
more people to sign their petition
to hold the organization to its
principles.
“A lot of people, their focus
isn’t on doing the right thing. It’s
doing the easier thing. And so I
just say, like, forest destruction or
saving a forest starts one organi-
zation, or one forest, at a time,”
said Sienna mcIntyre, 13, of Hern-
don. “They’ve always told us, like,
‘Leave this spot better than you
found it.’ And developing it for,
like, a bayside residence, or what-
ever, is not exactly leaving it
better than you found it.”

National Zoo welcomes newborn
western lowland gorilla to its troop
BY M ARTIN W EIL
A gorilla was born over the
weekend at the Smithsonian’s Na-
tional Zoo in Washington, the zoo
announced Sunday.
The baby, whose sex is yet to be
determined, was born Saturday
to Calaya, a 20-year-old western
lowland gorilla, the zoo said. The
baby’s father is another zoo resi-
dent, Baraka, 31. The parents
bred in September, the zoo said.
The newborn entered the
world between midnight and 6:15
a.m., the zoo reported.
The birth contributes to the
survival of what the zoo described
as a critically endangered species.

At a typical university, many
units can venture into the study
of food — starting with, obvious-
ly, schools of agriculture. But
academic institutes devoted to
food have cast a fresh, interdisci-
plinary spotlight on the subject
in recent decades. The University
of Wisconsin at madison has a
food research Institute focused
on food safety. The Berkeley
food Institute, affiliated with the
University of California at Berke-

healthy and affordable food and
promote “sustainable and equi-

University hosts a food & Nutri-

similar mission.

Md. teen identified as
Metro shooting victim
Police said monday that they
were searching for the assailant
in a fatal shooting Sunday on a
metro train — the second killing
this month in the transit system
to leave a teenager dead.
About 11:40 a.m. Sunday,
officers responded to the Navy

person was shot on a metro
train, D.C. police said in a
statement monday. They found
the victim, 17-year-old Brendan

at the scene, the statement said.
The shooting occurred inside
a rail car while it was traveling
from the L’Enfant Plaza station
to the Waterfront station, police
said, and the train operator was
alerted to the shooting near the
Navy Yard station, where the
train was ultimately stopped.
The killing was captured on

cannot be past eighth grade or
older than 15; the youngest ones
this year are 9.
Akash first qualified for the
Bee in 2016, when he was 6. He
returned in 2018, 2019, 2021 and
2022. The farthest he got was
42nd place, in 2019, a record he
hopes to break. This year is his
last chance before he ages out.
“I’m just a person who really

It felt hard to believe he was
about to age out of the spelling

Speedskater won United States’ only gold medal at 1964 Winter Olympics
A SSOCIATED P RESS
Terry mcDermott, a speedskat-
er who won the only gold medal
for the United States at the 1964
Winter olympics, died may 20 at
82.
U.S. Speedskating announced
the death in a statement but
provided no further information.
mr. mcDermott was an appren-
tice barber and unheralded figure
on the speedskating scene when
he stunningly won the 500-meter
event at the Innsbruck Games,
upsetting two-time reigning
olympic champion Yevgeny
Grishin of the Soviet Union by a
half-second.
Grishin posted a time of 40.6
seconds in the second pairing of
the 500. While two skaters would
match his time, no one beat it
until mr. mcDermott went off in
the 17th pair.
mr. mcDermott crossed the
line in 40.1 to shatter Grishin’s
olympic record and deny the
Soviet great from adding to the
four gold medals he had won at
the two previous Winter Games.

“The hardest ones are the Celt-
ic languages — Ireland, Scotland,
Wales,” he said. “The languages in
those regions have really interest-
ing spelling patterns that aren’t
as easy to memorize.”
for example, “clarsach,” a Celt-
ic harp, or “avourneen,” an Irish
Gaelic word meaning “sweet-
heart.” And a word for a tradition-
al Scottish or Irish social gather-
ing that he pronounced “kay-lee”
but said, “It is spelled — I kid you
not — C-E-I-L-I-D-H.”
Akash does not come from a
tradition of spelling stars. “It’s
not in our family. We are from
India; we don’t have spelling
bees. It’s all from Akash,” said his
mother, Chandrakala Vukoti. “Ev-
erything is a new adventure for
us.”
relatives in India are “so hap-
py and excited,” though, she said.
“They are curiously waiting to see
what next Akash is going to do.”

was 2. She joined him at the

Preparing for the Bee not only
gives contestants “a greater ap-
preciation for the language that
we speak every day” but also
teaches discipline and how to
deal with adversity, Akash said.
And, at the competition, “You
make a lot of friends that you’re
going to have for a long time,
because they all share with you
the love for the English language.
It’s great fun to talk about the
English language together, to talk
about our favorite words.”
What is Akash’s favorite?
It’s 45 letters long. Allow him
to spell it for you:

The word was created in 1935
by the president of the National
Puzzlers’ League, to become the
longest word in the English lan-
guage (although the merriam-

Sure, memorial Day — for the
folks who aren’t among the
civilians seeing it as merely a
long weekend of cookouts and
cocktails — usually focuses on
battlefield heroes and lives lost
in combat.
The solemn wreath layings
and somber color guard
ceremonies have a familiar
narrative about combat and
battlefield honor.
But the sprawling military
machine that makes the United
States a global force yields
sacrifices that are less cinematic.
Take, for example, accidental
training deaths — like that of
1st Lt. Hugh Conor mcDowell, a
D.C.-raised marine I have often
written about — which also have
outpaced combat deaths in

for two years.
In an era when speedskating

who took his own life in 2015, a
year after returning home from
serving in Afghanistan.
“It is a day set aside for
Americans to honor military
personnel who perish in our
nation’s wars,” said Lambert,
who found his son’s body dressed
in desert combat fatigues,
holding his dog tags in his left
hand. “our son didn’t die while
he was serving in war, but a lot of

because of what he experienced

their liberation from Auschwitz in 1945. In the photograph, she is seventh from left.

Child survivor of Auschwitz was
subjected to Mengele experiments
BY E MILY L ANGER
The Nazis came for Marta Wise
on her birthday. She was only 10
but, as a Jew in Hitler’s Europe,
had long before lost any sem-
blance of normal childhood. Mar-
ta had spent two years on the run
or under an assumed identity
when the truck stopped outside
her apartment in Slovakia to take
her away.
She arrived on Nov. 3, 1944, at
Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi
death camp in occupied Poland,
where she was subjected to the
medical experiments of Josef
Mengele, the SS physician known
to his victims as the “angel of
death.” Her survival, she later said,
she owed to luck, to the compan-
ionship of her sister Eva — who
was arrested and imprisoned with
her — and to hope.
When the Soviet army entered
Auschwitz on Jan. 27, 1945, Marta
weighed 37 pounds. She and Eva
are among the 13 children who
appear in a picture taken by a
Soviet photographer shortly after
the camp was liberated, a portrait
of barest survival and, today, one
of the most haunting images of the
Holocaust.
Mrs. Wise, 88, died May 19 at a
hospital in Jerusalem. Yad Vash-
em, the Holocaust memorial in
Israel, announced her death but
did not cite a cause.
Mrs. Wise’s testimony, which
she shared with groups from
around the world as a guide and
speaker at Yad Vashem, had grown
increasingly valuable in the later
years of her life, as the number of
living survivors dwindled and as
child survivors increasingly be-
came the bearers of firsthand
memory of the Holocaust.
As a 10-year-old who escaped
death at the largest Nazi killing
center, Mrs. Wise was by any
measure extraordinary. Of the 6
million Jews murdered in the
Holocaust, nearly 1 million died at
Auschwitz. According to the
camp’s memorial and museum,
only about 500 prisoners under
the age of 15 were alive at the time
of liberation.
Reflecting on her months in the
camp, Mrs. Wise said she remem-
bered mainly her fear, her hunger
and the cold. “I’m not sure how
much I understood,” she re-
marked years later in an interview
recorded by Yad Vashem. “I was a
kid, after all. But it was a different
world. … It wasn’t from this world,
Auschwitz.”
Marta Weiss was born in Brati-
slava, in what was then Czechoslo-
vakia and is now Slovakia, on Oct.
8, 1934. She was the fourth child in
an Orthodox Jewish family that
would eventually grow to include
eight daughters and one son.
Her father, an affluent busi-
nessman, owned spinning and
weaving mills as well as a retail
store. Mrs. Wise remembered her
mother as an elegant woman, ever
stylish even as she looked after her
many children.
Mrs. Wise had a happy child-
hood, surrounded by her siblings,
cousins, grandparents and other
relatives in the stately residence
where the family lived near Brati-
slava’s presidential palace.
But the dismemberment of
Czechoslovakia in the Munich
Agreement of 1938, in which Nazi
Germany was permitted to annex
the German-speaking Sudeten-
land in exchange for Hitler’s emp-
ty promise of peace, soon upended
life for Jews in Slovakia.
Although formally independ-
ent, Slovakia became essentially a
satellite state of Nazi Germany
and, according to the U.S. Holo-
caust Memorial Museum, was the
first Axis partner to agree to the
deportation of Jews in accordance
obituaries
with what the Nazis termed the
Final Solution.
Despite her youth, Marta began
to intuit the threat as she saw
signs forbidding “Jews and dogs”
in the park where she had once
played. Her father lost his busi-
nesses amid the worsening antise-
mitic persecution. In 1942, after
he was arrested and released for
ransom, he and his wife set about
scattering their children in places
they hoped would afford greater
safety.
Marta was spirited into Hunga-
ry, which was not yet occupied by
the Germans, to live with relatives
in the town of Sarvar. After the
Germans took over the country in
March 1944, she was smuggled
back to Bratislava, making part of
the journey on foot through wheat
and cornfields.
Her parents then sent her with
her sister Eva, three years her
elder, east of Bratislava to the city
of Nitra, where the girls lived with
a nanny, posing as Catholic chil-
dren orphaned in wartime bomb-
ings.
They attended school and Sun-
day church services, rigorously
keeping their cover. For an added
measure of protection, Eva be-
friended the daughter of a high-
ranking SS officer, who treated her
with affection, often challenging
her to games of chess.
“That’s how people
survived, by believing
that they will find their
families when it’s all
over. And that kept
you going. Hope keeps
you going.”
Marta Wise,
in interview recorded by Yad Vashem
One day, Mrs. Wise recounted,
the SS officer remarked on the
upcoming Jewish holidays of
Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
Many Jews had already been
deported from Bratislava. On the
High Holy Days, the officer said to
Eva, any who remained would
“come out of hiding like rats out of
their holes” to attend religious
services. The Nazis would take the
opportunity, he declared, to make
Bratislava “Judenfrei” — free of
Jews.
Eva managed to send word of
the coming roundup to her par-
ents, who passed the warning to
other Jews also in hiding in Brati-
slava. At least for the moment,
they owed their safety to a young
girl.
Marta and Eva’s arrest came as
they returned home from church
on Oct. 8, 1944. Watching as a
truckload of soldiers stopped out-
side their apartment building, “we
all thought they were off to the
front and people saluted them,”
Mrs. Wise told an interviewer
years later. “But they weren’t go-
ing to the front. They had come to
pick up a 10-year-old and a 13-
year-old child.”
The sisters were interrogated
about their identity and beaten
before they were taken to the
Sered concentration camp in Slo-
vakia and then to Auschwitz. De-
scribing the interminable train
ride, Mrs. Wise told Yad Vashem
that people died standing up; the
cattle car was packed so tightly
with human life that even the
dead could not rest on the
ground.
Upon their arrival at
Auschwitz, an adult hoisted Marta
DAn BAliltY/AP
to the tiny window at the top of the
train car and asked what she saw.
“A lot of smoke in the air,” she
replied, her first sight of the
camp’s crematorium.
Marta and Eva were at first
separated in the selection line,
with Eva chosen for work and
Marta directed toward the gas
chambers, according to a pub-
lished account of their story. A
flyover by a Soviet airplane caused
a stir of commotion on the
ground, allowing the girls to be
reunited.
They spent their imprisonment
largely together. “I was ‘lucky,’ un-
der the circumstances — I was
lucky that the madman allowed
me to be near my sister the whole
time,” Mrs. Wise told Yad Vashem,
referring to Mengele.
Marta and Eva were placed to-
gether in a block with twins and
dwarfs, many of them personally
selected by Mengele for his sadis-
tic and often fatal studies. Both
Marta and Eva underwent medi-
cal experiments, although they
never learned precisely what
kind; Mrs. Wise recalled only
blood draws and injections that
brought on agonizing stomach-
aches.
“I don’t remember the details,”
she told Yad Vashem. “I just re-
member the pain, and I remember
the injections. I remember him
coming, and then you wanted to
die anyway as soon as you saw
him.”
Through their imprisonment,
“amongst all this death, and hor-
ror, and torture, and murder,” Mrs.
Wise said, it never occurred to her
or her sister that their parents
would not be waiting for them at
home when liberation came, or
that life would not be the same
when they returned.
“That’s how people survived, by
believing that they will find their
families when it’s all over,” she told
Yad Vashem. “And that kept you
going. Hope keeps you going.”
Mrs. Wise’s younger sister Ye-
hudit died in Auschwitz. Her oth-
er siblings and her parents sur-
vived the Holocaust. Their moth-
er, Mrs. Wise recalled, was “flab-
bergasted” when she and Eva
appeared at their home in June
1945 after hitchhiking their way
back to Bratislava.
“I don’t think she recognized us,
really,” Mrs. Wise said. “It’s beyond
words to describe what you felt
like when you got back.” But the
joy of their reunion was tempered
by yet another separation: Marta
and Eva were both sick with tuber-
culosis, a highly infectious disease
that was rampant in the camps,
and could not remain at home
until they had recovered.
As the sisters grew up, Mrs.
Wise said, they told their parents
nothing of their experience at
Auschwitz. “We didn’t have the
heart to tell them such a thing,”
she said.
In 1948, the family immigrated
to Australia, where Marta studied
history at the University of Mel-
bourne. In 1957, she married Har-
old Wise. They lived in Australia
before settling in Israel in the late
1990s.
Mrs. Wise’s survivors include
her husband; their three daugh-
ters, Michelle Shir, Judy Joss and
Miriam Bruce; and many grand-
children and great-grandchil-
dren. Mrs. Wise’s sister Eva Slo-
nim, the author of the memoir
“Gazing at the Stars: Memories of
a Child Survivor,” is 91 and lives in
Melbourne.
“I don’t know how we survived,
how any single person survived in
that climate,” Mrs. Wise told the
Associated Press. “That is a mira-
cle to me. … And why I survived
and others didn’t I don’t know. I
am not God.”

Gene Luen Yang graduated from the

same California high school as steven
spielberg. so when he recently watched
“The Fabelmans,” spielberg’s semi-au-
tobiographical coming-of-age tale that
at one point re-creates the look of their
alma mater, he was stirred by strange
feelings. It wasn’t just the eerily familiar
walls and hallways. on a deeper level,
the movie also churned up the memories
of prejudice.
In that oscar-nominated 2022 drama,
the young future filmmaker endures
antisemitic bullying in the ’60s. Yang
attended saratoga High a qua-
rter-century later, by which time such
physical attacks were not as common,
Yang says during a video interview this
month from his native Bay Area. In-
stead, he sometimes experienced racist
language and this “weird, vague exclu-
sion” of Asian American students such
as himself.
It was within that campus culture
that Yang read Jonathan swift’s classic
“A Modest Proposal.” He became so
struck by the power of its devastating
satire that he tried his hand at crafting
his own literary humor — but from an
Asian American perspective.
That writing exercise became a seed
for Yang’s trailblazing 2006 book,
“American Born Chinese,” the first
graphic novel to be named a National
Book Award finalist. “I think I wanted to
talk about the racism that wasn’t called
out as racism,” during a time when
“American culture was just much more
tolerant of using Asians and Asian
Americans as comedic punching bags,”
Yang says. He also wanted to present
people of Asian descent “as three-

married — all held in mild contempt. The promotion is not a recognition
of his qualities. or maybe it is: Tom “wins” because of his servility. His
ability to follow orders. His high tolerance for pain.
The verbose and witty Roys finish the
series in silence. Having declared they’re
all “nothing,” Roman (Kieran Culkin)
ends the series at a bar, a hint of a smile on
his cut-up face. An expressionless shiv
(sarah snook) accepts Tom’s offer of a ride
and gingerly touches his proffered hand.
And Kendall (Jeremy strong), the figure
“succession” was always just a little too
tempted to focus on — gets no taste of the
sublime. If his final ascent to the throne is
aborted, his fall has none of the elegance
tragedy implies. It’s farcical. Ugly.
Incidental.
Most importantly, perhaps: The show
— which has always been so propulsive,
so stylishly driven — discovers that its
central question has always been a dull
one. Watching Matsson win is so boring
that the camera drifts away during the
signing ceremony, uninterested. It tries to
zoom in on Tom, briefly, as Matsson starts
dancing with him, but it gives up. The
stakes of the series stemmed, in the end,
from the hubristic desires of one man, the

late Logan Roy (Brian Cox). With him
gone, they go, too.
Cox’s extraordinary performance as a
sadistic patriarch single-handedly
endowed a bland procedural question
about corporate governance with
dynastic and meritocratic overtones. This
was what made “succession” so addictive.
Like the main title theme, which blends
hip-hop with classical music, Logan’s
appetite for world-building led him to try
to merge two competing systems: the
kind of hyper-capitalist competition he
made his “nut” on, and the inherited
divine right of kings. In the one, you
self-fashion and act upon the world. In
the other, you channel that which is
already in you.
He embodied other contradictions,
too, of course: He was simultaneously the
corporation — faceless, inhuman — and
unique, irreproducible, specific. For his

at arena, “exclusion” looks at how hollywood
misrepresents asian american history. c4
It was the fall of 1987, and Hollywood
studio executive sherry Lansing had just
finished production on the biggest movie
of her career. For several Friday and sat-
urday nights after its release, she remem-
bers that she and director Adrian Lyne
and his wife, samantha, would eat dinner
at a restaurant across the street from a
movie theater and watch the crowds line
up. When they knew the film had about 30
minutes left, they would sneak into the
theater’s projection room and see the
audience watch the climactic final scene.
Inevitably, the sold-out crowd started
screaming, jumping out of their seats
with popcorn flying everywhere, like they
were all on an airplane that suddenly took
a nosedive.
The movie was “Fatal Attraction,” and
the scene was horrifying: Alex (Glenn
Close), the spurned pregnant mistress of
Dan (Michael Douglas), breaks into his
house with a knife and attacks his wife,
Beth (Anne Archer), in the bathroom.
eventually, Dan runs to save his wife and
drowns Alex in the bathtub — except Alex
pops up like a zombie out of the water and
tries to stab him. Then Beth, out of no-
where, grabs a gun and shoots and kills
Alex. Cue the screaming.
Lansing loved to follow moviegoers out
of the theater and even into the women’s
restroom, eavesdropping on their
shocked reactions. The movie would go
on to make more than $156 million that
year (the second highest grossing film in
the United states) and receive six oscar
nominations, including for best picture
and best director, with acting nods for
Close and Archer.

unslakable thirst for paternal
approval mixed with a deep,
almost Puritan fear that they
didn’t deserve it. “I am the eldest
boy!” Kendall yells in the middle
of his final tantrum, as the finale
deflates all the show’s most
grandiloquent impulses. “You’re
not,” Shiv says, laughing.
It sometimes seemed as if
“Succession” tried to bridge two
irreconcilable modes: satire and
tragedy. As an ambitious “prestige
TV” show in a post-prestige age, it
needed to move a step or two
beyond the experiments
conducted by the antihero shows
it clearly regarded as its
predecessors. If the question back
then was, “Will audiences still like
our hero if we make him
[drumroll] bad?” the answer — we
know by now — is a definite yes.
We know, too, how these shows
handled the problem of overly
attached viewers: They made the
(anti)hero more and more
monstrous until taking their side
became, if not impossible,
rationally indefensible.
Sometimes these shows have had
to spell their correctives out a
little artlessly; it took “Breaking
Bad’s” Walter White literally
saying, “I did it for me,” to get
some fans to stop repeating his
constant refrain: “What I do, I do
for my family.”
“Succession” understands
much of this. Logan frequently
says versions of the Walter White
line, and we know, as savvy TV
consumers, to see through it. (It’s
a refrain of Kendall’s by the end as
well, one more sign that he’s
trying to become his dad.) But in
combining a satire on the evils of
capitalism with a story about
family trauma and abuse,
Armstrong broke some
philosophically complicated
narrative ground. It’s not
surprising there were some slips.
If the antihero shows seduced
fans by effectively swapping in a
kind of workplace competence for
morality — Don Draper’s magical
sales pitches; mike
Ehrmantraut’s precision; Jimmy
mcGill’s gutsy, flawless cons;
Walter White’s “pure” meth —
“Succession” swapped in trauma.
You learned, quickly or slowly,
how messed up everyone was. or
watched characters such as
roman (with the launch
explosion) and Kendall (with the
death of a hired server) fail
catastrophically and cycle
through panic, guilt and shame.
The result, not surprisingly, has
been extraordinary viewer
sympathy for roman and Ken,
characters everyone readily
admits are “bad.”
(Shiv did not follow this
pattern, which might partly
explain why so many viewers
dislike her. Her failures are real,
such as her outburst at Tern
Haven in Season 2, but they only
ever involve her. We never once
see her worrying about people she
might have hurt.)
I
t is necessary and correct to
point out (as “Succession” fans
do whenever some version of
this argument surfaces) that
people are complicated, even if
they’re billionaires elevating a
fascist president into office so
they can make more money, and
good art should reflect that. But
sympathy — like symbolism — is a
potent instrument, and it was and
remains my position that
“Succession’s” control of it has
been interesting but imperfect.
Take the moment when
Kendall fires everyone at Vaulter.
The camera lingers on Kendall’s
face, reinforcing that this is about
his psychodrama, the humiliation
he’s enduring as he dismantles the
only company that mattered to
him — the one he thought was the
future of Waystar — on his father’s
say-so. The hundreds of
employees who work there, and
have just lost their livelihoods,
come off as rude and entitled, if
they register at all.
“Succession” needed to zoom
out to make the roys’ “badness”
actually land for viewers who
otherwise experience it only
theoretically — and theory is not
persuasive. “America Decides” did
just that: The episode in which
roman, Kendall and Tom call the
election for Jeryd mencken was a
brilliant example of the antihero
correctives that shows resort to to
help reluctant audiences turn on
bad protagonists. The show was
finally showing the downstream
effects of the roy psychodrama on
the public, and it did so by making
it personal. one way to overcome
any sympathy that viewers feel for
these characters is to remind
them of a traumatic moment that
made us miserable or afraid. fan
forums filled up with references
to the 2016 or 2020 elections after
that episode aired. It made
roman legible as a real villain, not
just an ironic but ineffectual
nihilist.
But then the show turned
inward again! The funeral
episode happened, and Culkin’s
performance as roman was
heartbreaking. I worried.
my concern grew when I
realized, while re-watching, that

some of the show’s most effective
and memorable scenes — such as
the Season 2 finale, one of the
most thrilling episodes of the
series — depend on moves that
look in hindsight like mild cheats.
That episode, in which Logan
decides to sacrifice Kendall rather
than step down, as Waystar
royco’s board of directors has
asked, has a good bit of
Christological imagery that was
deeply moving in the moment but
that seems, in hindsight,
completely absurd. It’s no secret
that Kendall has a messiah
complex. (Shiv calls him “plastic
Jesus” for a reason.) What’s
puzzling here is how unironically
the camera and the score endorse
it.
But what troubles me most
about that episode, in retrospect,
is Logan’s smile — and a broader
pattern of readings (or
misreadings) it made available.
You know the smile I mean: The
final shot of the second season
zooms in on Logan’s face as he
watches Kendall denounce him.
This was the moment that really
cemented the myth of Logan as a
Great man, a guy driven, despite
his defects, by something beyond
self-interest. The idea that he
could take pleasure in his own
annihilation — if it meant his son
would ascend and become worthy
of his kingdom — is laughable,
given what we know about Logan
now. But it was powerful then,
and it demanded an explanation.
fan theories about the smile
exploded. It was suggested that
Logan planned it all: He knew
“the board” would never accept
his resignation (or something —
even though it had, in fact,
requested it), so he arranged for
Kendall to “kill” him instead. He
was setting his son up for success!
Sacrificing himself so his son
could emerge as the leader the
company needed!
That an episode about a man
sending his son to prison to avoid
responsibility himself got twisted
into a story about Logan’s wisdom
— or self-sacrifice! — was
troubling and fascinating. This
was not a fan “mistake”; it was a
From left, siblings Roman (Culkin), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Kendall (Jeremy Strong) share a rare bonding moment in show’s final episode.
ez re k the washington post
view Cox himself shared in an
interview with Vulture: “Logan
knew in order to sacrifice himself,
he would have to do it through his
family. He figured that the one
chance he had was to make
Kendall into the killer. That’s why,
at the end, he smiles. He’s
achieved what he was after. ‘my
son has come of age. He’s now
officially a killer.’”
It sometimes seemed as if “Succession” tried to
bridge two irreconcilable modes: satire and
tragedy. As an ambitious “prestige TV” show in a
post-prestige age, it needed to move a step or two
beyond the experiments conducted by the antihero
shows it clearly regarded as its predecessors.
And although Armstrong
sounded surprised when he heard
that reading, it’s plausible. The
biggest challenge “Succession”
faced in advance of the finale was
defeating the temptation to
overrate the icon it created. It’s
remarkable, given how easy it
would have been to misstep, that
the finale nailed it.
Take Tom’s ascension. Tom
winning was actually a fairly
popular fan theory, but most
people predicting it couldn’t
shake the idea that the contest
for Logan’s spot was — in some
bracing, admittedly immoral,
but thrillingly strategic way — a
meritocracy. That most people
intellectually understood the
show to be a scathing critique of
hyper-capitalism, etc., didn’t
save it from the idea that the
universe the show depicted (with
what level of irony, we couldn’t
quite gauge) was one where
everyone is terrible, sure, but
smart.
Some Tom theorists believed
he’d win because he didn’t show
up to Logan’s funeral, for
instance. He was too busy doing
his actual job, running news
network ATN, to show up for the
sake of sentiment. This (they
maintained) was what Logan
would have wanted, and exactly
the sort of test Kendall failed: It
was when Kendall turned up at
Logan’s birthday lunch in the
pilot, instead of staying to close
the Vaulter deal, that Logan
seemed to change his mind about
retiring and naming Kendall as
his successor.
Tom’s dedication to the work is
the kind of detail matsson — the
GoJo CEo — would notice, the
Tom advocates argued. He’d spot
the right man for the job by virtue
of his absence.
T
his kind of intelligent
microanalysis (which
accidentally grants some
very troubling premises) is pretty
typical of a lot of the discourse
“Succession” has generated
during its four-season run.
Such an argument presupposes
that the show’s lens is
meritocratic, too, in ways that
align with and valorize Logan’s
success. It presumes, to be
specific, that Logan — an egotist
who surrounded himself with yes-
men, made dissenters play “Boar
on the floor,” paid millions to
protect “mo” Lester mcClintock
and his ilk, imperiled the
company with a secret $3.2 billion
loan, thought buying local TV
stations was the way to keep from
getting eaten up by tech, had his
first wife locked up, strategically
lied to, manipulated and abused
his children, and floated his
charmless lover Kerry as a
possible ATN anchor — is a keen
david ruSSell/hBO
judge of ability. “What Logan
would have wanted” isn’t simply
descriptive in these discussions;
it’s operating as something of an
endorsement.
If we learned anything at all
about Logan over the course of
“Succession,” it’s that the show’s
juicy premise — a great man
wishes to pass his kingdom on to
his children and tests them to see
which is worthy — was both the
engine powering the story and a
total fake-out. Logan did not wish
to retire. He did not want a
successor. And for a man credited
with being decisive and blunt, he
was changeable. Shortsighted.
Cowardly.
That’s the tricky part about
trying to merge tragedy and
satire. “Succession” was
sometimes both a Great man
story and a parody of one.
“remember this,” Logan intones,
grandly, when he invites Shiv to be
CEo. “This is real. remember
this. This slant of light.
remember this. This is it.”
It’s quite solemn and totally
unreal. If you re-watch the series,
you’ll see a Logan who makes
mistakes constantly — who
refuses to face reality, doesn’t
know his own mind, vacillates
and hides. rather than tell Shiv
he’s changed his view, he asks
rhea Jarrell (Holly Hunter) to
fashion a trap that will let him
plausibly profess to be so angry at
her that he can weasel out of his
promise. It is, to use a roy-ism,
weak.
It seems likely that Logan did
precisely the same thing to
Kendall in the pilot: changed his
mind, then created a pretext
plausible enough to flunk Kendall
and make him feel as if his
rejection was a personal failure
rather than Logan’s whim.
Because Logan chose matsson
as his successor over his own
children, matsson has benefited
from that ambient respect for
Logan’s judgment. He must be a
fellow master tactician. fans
therefore wondered whether
matsson was up to some four-
dimensional chess as he dealt
with the roy siblings. He seemed

to like mind games, and the
assumption many viewers bring
to this storyline is that CEos are
canny and rational actors. So
mind games, sure — but to what
end?
None, the finale replies. The
games were always just games.
M
atsson’s reasons for
selecting Tom turn out to
have little to do with Tom’s
work ethic, his tactical skill or his
absence from Logan’s funeral. The
man Logan chose to sell his
company to wants Tom because
he’s attracted to Shiv and resents
her. “Why don’t I get the guy who
put the baby inside her instead of
the baby lady?” Is this the
reasoning of a brilliant “killer”?
matsson adds that he needs “an
American,” but what he wants
most is the aforementioned “pain
sponge” to act as frontman while
he slashes the company from
within. And that’s all.
None of the reasons Tom got
the job are even remotely
meritocratic — or connected to
any of the gladiatorial contests to
prove one’s worth that have
animated this entire series.
The idea that Logan was a
ruthless but rational actor —
horrible but basically right about
a lot of things — was so pervasive
that it sometimes threatened to
undo the show’s otherwise
brilliant and lacerating portrayal
of psychological abuse. That final
line of Logan’s to his children in
“rehearsal,” for instance — “I love
you, but you aren’t serious people”
— is frequently cited as the sage
verdict of a disappointed father
rather than a saboteur’s
description of the damage he’s
inflicted. (You don’t raise serious
people by making your first
question, in every scenario,
“What’s the play?”)
I think of the effect that line
had on people as the “Succession”
problem. It surprised me because
it so clearly isn’t what Logan
actually thinks — and because
this episode in particular, Logan’s
last with his kids, illustrates how
fallible and unserious he always
was. Earlier in that episode,
Logan tells Kerry frankly that the
position the kids have forced him
into is “delicate,” tricky enough
that he can’t afford blunt tactics.
“They have some juice,” he says,
nodding almost admiringly.
(Another smile!)
So he tries a charm offensive —
clearly as a “play,” in roy parlance
— to get the kids to back down.
Kerry explains his “offer,” which is
so unserious — to borrow a word
— that I can’t believe this one
sentence doesn’t overshadow the
rest of the scene. “You can
separate the personal and the
business,” Kerry says, elaborating
on his proposal that Logan take
ATN while the kids do Pierce. “You
can reset your dynamic as a
family.”
It’s a laughable proposition to
kids raised on Logan’s toxic
inability to separate the two, and
not even Logan can commit to the
idea for more than a sentence.
What follows is the most direct
and serious (I would argue)
confrontation between the
children and Logan in the series.
The kids try to get into the big stuff.
roman asks him about what he
did to them in Italy — recruiting
their mother against them.
Kendall asks whether he’s sorry for
hitting roman as a child or locking
up Connor’s mother. rather than
genuinely apologize or “reset the
dynamic,” Logan tacks back to
business: “Look,” he says, in a
pronouncement we now know is
100 percent incorrect, “the bottom
line is, if we ask for more money,
matsson walks.” “No,” Shiv says.
“You don’t know that!”
She’s right, and it’s sort of a
wonderful irony that Logan turns
out to be so wrong. “Deals have a
habit of disappearing because
[men] like matsson get pissed off
or snap,” he lectures, unaware
that his kids will spend
considerable energy trying to kill
this very deal, to no avail — that
the deal surviving is, in fact, the
kids’ tragedy.
The finale “fits,” to quote the
roys. Shiv is cast aside by the
misogynist with whom she cast
her lot. Kendall’s punishment for
backing roman’s fascist streak is
getting that fun little line about
his bloodline. The siblings anoint
each other, bond, then tear each
other to pieces. As for Kendall, he
blew up his arc in a single scene.
All the guilt and shame and
progress and reflection vanished,
along with that tender
confessional moment with his
siblings, when he denies,
reminded of the server, that
anything happened. All that
water imagery recedes. He’s just a
spectator now, not in the water or
under the water, but irrelevant.
The camera allows Kendall a
couple of seconds of that long-
awaited shot of his neck and back
— the one that mirrors the final
shots of Logan in the opening
credits, at tables containing his
family and employees — before
losing interest. It skitters back to
his profile, and the music climbs
to that familiar climax but stops
just before getting there. The
sound of water replaces it.

YANG from C1
dimensional human beings.”
The novel, which focuses on
student life and the immigrant
experience, and which also fea-
tures a fantasy narrative in-
spired by the 16th-century Chi-
nese epic “Journey to the West,”
gained popularity for how it
artfully tackled cultural percep-
tions. Now, in the streaming
series “American Born Chinese,”
which recently arrived on Dis-
ney Plus, Yang’s characters spot-
light social challenges faced by
Asian Americans amid a shift-
ing national conversation over
identity, representation and
racism.
Like the book, the action
comedy-drama will blend the
group dynamics at a largely
White high school with martial
arts and Chinese mythology —
plus all the endearing awkward-
ness of a sophomore named Jin
(played by Ben Wang) navigat-
ing social media, sports tryouts
and the expectations of his Chi-
nese immigrant parents, while
also befriending the son (Jimmy
Liu) of a supernatural monkey
King (Daniel Wu) and nurturing
his please-let-this-become-
more-than friendship with his
new crush (Sydney Taylor).
Showrunner Kelvin Yu has
teasingly called Wang “the Asian
American michael J. fox” for Gen
Z because of his high likability
factor, notes Yang, an executive
producer on the show. The show
also reunites recently minted
“Everything Everywhere All At
once” oscar winners michelle
Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan and
nominated castmate Stephanie
Hsu.
Some of the show’s talent say
the series arrives at an oppor-
tune time for such stories to be
widely appreciated, following
such high-profile projects as
“Crazy rich Asians, “Parasite”
and “Squid Game,” as well as
“Shang-Chi and the Legend of
the Ten rings,” whose director,
Destin Daniel Cretton, is an exec-
utive producer and one of the
directors of “American Born Chi-
nese.”
“The timing is perfect,” says
Wu, the Bay Area-born super-
star in Asian cinema who is
better known to some U.S. view-

drama, “Into the Badlands.”
“five years ago would’ve been
too early.”

ager no more, rainn Wilson is
now a travel guru. The actor, best
known for his role as Dwight
Schrute on the hit sitcom “The
office,” stars in “rainn Wilson
and the Geography of Bliss,”
which premiered may 18 on Pea-
cock. His mission? find what
makes the people in some places
happier than others.
Spoiler: It’s human connec-
tion. “It’s all about community.
It’s all about connection,” Wilson
said in a recent Zoom interview.
In each of the five hour-long
episodes, Wilson travels to a new
destination and ingrains himself
with locals to uncover their
unique brand of happiness. The
actor, who recently appeared in
“Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,”
discovers the joy in human con-
nection by, for example, wading
in frigid Icelandic waters and
playing a party game in Ghana.
Happiness is not a new inter-
est of Wilson’s. In 2019, his studio
and production company, Soul
Pancake, premiered the docu-
mentary “Laughing matters.” It
explored the relationship be-
tween comedy and depression
and was an avenue for Wilson to
discuss his own experiences. “I
grew up a pretty anxious and
depressed kid,” Wilson said in an
interview with Newsweek. “. . .
When I found that I could make
people laugh, that was my solu-
tion.”
We spoke with Wilson about
his travels and passion for happi-
ness. This interview has been
edited for length and clarity.
Q: What inspired your travel
journey to find happiness?
A: A magnificent book by a D.C.
native named Eric Weiner, “The
Geography of Bliss,” which is a
masterful and hysterical work
where he travels all around the
globe. It’s called “one Grump’s
Search for the Happiest Places
in the World.” I’m not as much of
a grump as he is, but the format
and the idea of looking for
happiness as opposed to looking
for delicious foods we thought
would be an amazing
ing to read subtitles,” Yang says,
and “are willing to watch shows
with a diverse cast, as long as the
story is good.”
Early this month, stars and
producers from the show were
celebrated during a White House
screening of “American Born
Chinese.” Yang says one of Presi-
dent Biden’s statements particu-
larly resonated with him.
“He talked about how America
is not organized around land and
is not organized around blood.
It’s organized around an idea,
and how Asian Americans are a
part of expressing that idea,”
Yang says. “I really appreciated
that, because it flies in the face
of, and runs counter to, the
perpetual ‘foreigner’ myth we
generally face.”
Long before Yang became a
macArthur “genius grant” recip-
ient and a national ambassador
for young people’s literature, the
former Bay Area schoolteacher
began drawing the “American
Born Chinese” novel with a
mission to address such perni-

foundation for a travel
docuseries. So we basically stole
it from his book.
Q: That gets me to my next
question. How did the show
come to be?
A: These young producers
named Casey [Scharf ] and Evan
[rosenfeld] just wrote me out of
the blue, and they said: “Hey, we
got the rights to this book. We
think you’d be the perfect host.”
I had spent a good amount of
my time and writing and energy
speaking about mental health
issues. I had shared about my
mental health struggles, and
they thought that I would bring
the perfect mix of seriousness
and profundity, but also jovial
hysterical-ness, to the
proceedings.
Q: You went to a host of

cious myths and illuminate his
truth.
“I first read the graphic novel
when I got the audition” in 2021,
says Wang, who is in his 20s,
“and it was deeply emotional for
me, because I had never once
before, in my entire life, read
seen or heard any piece of media
that felt like it so specifically
reflected my own experiences
growing up.”
Wu discovered the book about
a decade ago and identified with
it: “A lot of things Jin experiences
are things that I grew up with,
being a child of the ’70s and ’80s,
growing up where it wasn’t as
diverse and when I wasn’t seeing
myself on-screen.”
Yang, who began writing the
book in his 20s, says he is part of
an emerging Asian American
culture that’s individual from
“the culture that our parents or
grandparents came from. It’s an
expression of America, but it’s
distinctively our own.”
Yang had used the book’s com-
ic art and dialogue as a precise
locations for the show. Where
would you want to go back?
A: I would go back to any of the
countries that I traveled to. That
was my fifth trip to Iceland,
actually. It’s one of my favorite
places on the planet; the nature
is absolutely astonishing. I
found Ghana to be incredibly
beautiful and exhilarating, and
Thailand was magnificent. But I
would say that Bulgaria is kind
of the hidden jewel of Europe,
especially if you’re a nature
lover. The forests and mountains
there are exquisite. The food is
wonderful. The people are really
nice. I highly recommend
Bulgaria, even though it’s
ranked as one of the unhappiest
places in the world. There are a
lot of beautiful things to
discover about Bulgaria. I
should be a spokesperson for
Travel Bulgaria.

Q: What do you hope people
gain from this series?
A: I hope that people gain a
subscription to Peacock, which
is filled with delightful
programming. I’m only partially
joking, but also because “The
office” is on Peacock, I have a
certain brand loyalty to my old
employer, NBCUniversal
Productions, Incorporated. But
also what the writers and
producers have managed to do
with “The Geography of Bliss” is
pretty extraordinary. The show
is just incredibly uplifting, and it
makes your heart swell with joy
and is filled with laughter and
community and just an
appreciation for our magical and
audacious and sometimes
infuriating human species.

tool to satirize harmful Chinese
stereotypes through a broadly
sketched character named
“Chin-Kee.” “one reason I was
very, very reluctant to pursue any
sort of [screen] adaptation op-
portunity was, I was always
kind of freaked out that clips of
that character would show up
on YouTube completely decon-
textualized,” Yang says. “I told
this to [showrunner] Kelvin, and
he said: ‘Just put that in the
first episode. Whatever you’re
afraid of, put that in the first
episode.’ It was his way of mak-
ing it so that he could teach the
[viewer] how to think about
that.”
for the medium of live-action,
the show’s creative leaders decid-
ed such broad satire would work
better if they concocted a show
within the show. They created a
character named freddy Wong
(Quan), whose retro-sitcom an-
tics spoof the Asian stereotypes
depicted in such Hollywood fare
as John Hughes’s “Sixteen Can-
dles.”
At first, Quan turned down the
role flat, but he came aboard
after a Zoom meeting with the
show’s team. “I’m so glad he
came around,” Yang says, “be-
cause I honestly can’t think of
another person who could’ve
pulled that off.”

A: This show did change my life,
and it has changed the way that
I view bliss, happiness, well-
being — whatever you want to
call it. I had a profound
realization that no matter what
you do to yourself inside and
what adjustments you make in
your daily living, it’s all about
community. It’s all about
connection. Everything having
to do with happiness, no matter
where you go in the world, is the
depth and intimacy and warmth
that one brings to a community
and has brought to them. It’s
just increasing your view of
what family is to ever-larger
circles of family. That’s what
brings true joy. And this has
been discovered time and time
again in the field of positive
psychology in the famous
Harvard Grant Study about
happiness.

the show embraces their pursuit
of the American Dream. And
while the book is set several
decades ago, the show is set in
the present day, partly to address
how the conversation about
Asian Americans has changed.
“Some things that happen in the
book you can’t really imagine
happening in the 2020s in a
California high school,” Yang
says. “It was the more overt
racism that was just a part of my
childhood. It would not fly in the
age of social media and cell-
phones.”
Yang hopes the show is em-
braced by multiple generations
of viewers, including Asian
Americans who can appreciate
what Yang views as a bifurcated
experience. “In certain commu-
nities, we as Asian Americans
are experiencing a level of prog-
ress that we would not
have imagined we would experi-
ence, … but in other communi-
ties, our elders are getting beaten
up in the streets, which was also
unimaginable, [where] it feels
like we’re falling backwards in
time.”
Yang is optimistic that more
shows, including “American
Born Chinese,” can signal to
viewers that everyone’s experi-
ence can be “story-worthy”: “I
hope that people just realize that
the feeling of being an outsider is
incredibly universal.”
Q: You travel extensively for
the show. What are your
essential travel accessories? And
have you found any good travel
tips?
A: I don’t have anything that
outrageous for my travel tips.
melatonin knocks me out like
I’ve been kicked in the face by a
donkey, so I’m really lucky that
way. fanny packs are very handy
for carrying, you know,
passports and keys and wallets
and whatnot. I really like the
Away suitcases; those are nice.
You need a good and sturdy
water bottle with you at all
times. I need a hat, but that’s
mostly because I have a giant
bald spot on the top of my head.
Noise-canceling headphones on
flights are a must, because they
really do allow you to rest
deeper and not feel so worn out
when you land.
Q: Are there any other places
you would like to explore to
see how they experience
happiness?
A: We were supposed to go shoot
in Dubai, and the theme was
going to be, “Can money buy you
happiness?” But unfortunately,
the week before we were going
there, they debuted “The real
Housewives of Dubai” — this is a
true story — and the royal family
was so irate at the, shall we say,
inappropriate behavior of “The
real Housewives of Dubai” that
they pulled the plug. I don’t
know what they were thinking
“The real Housewives of Dubai”
were going to do, because we’ve
kind of seen what “The real
Housewives” do: They get drunk
and they throw garbage at each
other. That’s what happens on
every episode.
Q: Also “The real Housewives of
Dubai” is a little different from
your show.
A: A little bit different. A little
bit different thematically from
“The Geography of Bliss.” But I
would love to explore some of
those very wealthy Gulf states to
excavate this idea of, “Can
money buy you happiness?” I
think there are some great
stories to tell.

Kenneth Lin’s ‘Exclusion’ goes deeper

than the cynical satire of Hollywood
BY CELIA WREN
Hollywood is a ruthless, boor-
ish content machine, groveling to
the great god Profit and frequently
mistreating writers in the process.
This diagnosis of the film and TV
industry is a familiar one in Amer-
ican culture, and some or all of it
may also be true, as the current
Writers Guild of America strike
reminds us.
In the barbed comedy “Exclu-
sion,” playwright Kenneth Lin at
times judiciously complicates this
timeworn vision of a philistine
Tinseltown. But as seen in the
sleek, beautifully acted and often
funny Arena Stage world premiere
rian who has tackled one such
story: the history of the Chinese
Exclusion Act of 1882. When her
award-winning book on the sub-
ject is optioned for a TV minise-
ries, Katie (played by Karoline,
who goes by one name) is initially
thrilled to join the writers room.
But when a Hollywood bigwig
named Harry (Josh Stamberg)
and his associates strip the series
of historical accuracy and fill it
with racist stereotypes, Katie re-
assesses her Faustian bargain.
From the play’s opening mo-
ments, when Katie is nervously
waiting for Harry to show up for
an appointment, Karoline skillful-
ly calibrates the historian charac-
restless husband, would-be direc-
tor Malcolm. The relatively natu-
ralistic give-and-take between the
spouses — intimacy, gentle bicker-
ing, affectionate jokes — is a nice
complement to the cynical satire
of Hollywood. (Designer Arnulfo
Maldonado furthers that satire
with sets that include Harry’s soul-
lessly tidy office, dominated by an
enormous movie poster for “Basic
Instinct.”)
Also warmly convincing are Ka-
tie’s interactions with Viola (an
appealing Michelle Vergara
Moore), a Paris Review-reading
actress of Chinese heritage whose
perspective on the miniseries dif-
fers from Katie’s. In one particu- mArgoT SChuLmAn

production, directed by Trip Cull-
man, the tweaks aren’t always
enough to make the play’s Holly-
wood-needling feel fresh. Still, by
upending the paradigm here and
there, Lin engages our minds and
sympathies more fully with the
play’s other major theme: the ur-
gency of telling stories that main-
stream America has marginalized,
and the power struggle that can
result by doing that.
“Exclusion” centers on a histo-
ter’s awkwardness, hesitation,
outrage and resolve, providing a
portrait that supports the play’s
occasional surprises. Stamberg is
very funny as the oily, bloviating
Harry, who holds a dim view of the
watching public. “Katie, if Gomer
John Q. Flyover knows the phrase
‘Chinese Exclusion Act,’ I mean,
measure us up for my Humanitas
Prize,” he says.
The terrific Tony Nam finds just
the right mannerisms for Katie’s
larly stirring sequence, Katie
briefly addresses Viola in Canton-
ese, which Viola speaks a little of.
For those of us in the audience
who don’t speak Cantonese, the
exchange evokes a valuable feel-
ing of (nod to the title) exclusion.
And yet, the gist of the Cantonese
conversation — the women’s sud-
den, deep moment of shared sym-
pathy — is poignantly clear.

Cultural phenomenon ‘Fatal Attraction,’ now rebooted for TV, will never die
‘FATAL ATTRACTION’ from C1
ence, and has critical and com-
mercial success. But when it be-
comes a cultural milestone, that’s
a whole different level for me,”
said Lansing, the first woman to
run a major Hollywood studio
when she took over 20th Century-
fox Productions in 1980. Like ev-
eryone who worked on the movie,
she remains blown away by the
impact: “And now it’s going to be
on television, so people will be
talking about it again.”
Indeed, a reboot of “fatal At-
traction” started streaming last
month on Paramount Plus, an
eight-episode series starring Josh-
ua Jackson, Lizzy Caplan and
Amanda Peet that concluded Sun-
day. It has been the impetus for
new thoughts and thinkpieces
about “fatal Attraction,” even
though the series itself has seen
rough reviews and minimal buzz.
But realistically, our culture does
not need an excuse to talk about
“fatal Attraction,” because we have
been talking and arguing about
and debating it for the last 36
years: movies, books, plays, arti-
cles, essays, podcasts, a failed re-
make, this actual remake and
more.
“It really took a turn we never
expected. We thought we made a
very good movie — we did not
think we were making a social
statement,” said Stanley Jaffe, who
executive produced the movie
along with Lansing. “But it turned
out to be a very real social state-
ment.”
The intense reaction started
right away. Newspaper articles re-
ported on audience freakouts at
the end of the film, and box office
observers were fascinated when it
remained No. 1 for eight weeks.
“I’ve never before been in-
volved in a picture that emotional-
ly hits people like this. … It’s sort of
unrelenting,” Douglas told the
Sunday mail in December 1987.
(representatives for Douglas and
Archer did not respond to a re-
quest for comment; Lyne also did
not respond to a request for com-
ment. Close was unavailable for
this story.)
The movie (written by British
screenwriter James Dearden,
based on his 1980 short film) kicks
off as Dan, a married lawyer with a
young daughter, has what he ex-
pects to be a one-night fling with
Alex, a single publishing execu-
tive. But things go wrong very
quickly as Alex wants a real rela-
tionship (leading to the legendary
line “I’m not going to be ignored,
Dan”). When he callously pushes
her away even after he learns she’s
pregnant, she terrorizes him and
his family (leading to the famous-
ly deranged scene of Alex boiling
his daughter’s pet rabbit, result-
ing in the phrase “bunny boiler” as
a euphemism for “crazy woman”).
Erotic thrillers were hitting
their stride at the time — the
movie rating system was created
in 1968, and films were getting
sexier — but “fatal Attraction”
was the lightning rod. It touched
on a wealth of polarizing topics:
marriage, sex, infidelity, toxic
masculinity, gender roles, mental
illness. many even speculated that
it was an allegory for the AIDS
crisis, as a reminder that sex has
consequences. Some credited it
for saving marriages. others took
it as a warning not to engage with
strangers. (As Tom Hanks’s char-
acter in “Sleepless in Seattle” de-
clares of the film: “It scared the s---
out of me! It scared the s--- out of
every man in America!”)
But the main ongoing theme
that audiences and critics have
discussed for decades is what they
think the film has to say about
women with careers — sending
the message that not only can
women not have it all, but the
single ones are angry and devious
and desperate, and their devasta-
tion over not having a husband or
family will make them kill your
child’s pet. one critique in 2014
deemed “fatal Attraction” the
“horror movie version of ‘Lean
In.’”
When reports surfaced of the
TV series reboot, Susan faludi
immediately heard the news. “I
was deluged with emails from
people saying, ‘oh no, it’s back!’”
said faludi, the Pulitzer Prize-
winning journalist and author of
the 1991 best-selling book “Back-
lash: The Undeclared War Against
American Women.” The chapter
about “fatal Attraction” is often
referenced in studies of the film,
given her memorable analysis of
how it was a prime example of the
culture’s backlash toward femi-
nism in the 1980s. The stay-at-
home mom is an angelic hero and
the powerful executive is comical-
ly evil, and they have an epic fight
Michael Douglas and Glenn
Close star as a married man and
a single woman whose affair
takes a violent turn in 1987’s
“Fatal Attraction.” The movie,
which shocked moviegoers
when it was released, was
remade into an eight-episode
Paramount Plus TV series.
where the wife and mother is vic-
torious.
“‘fatal Attraction’ is the psy-
chotic manifestation of the News-
week marriage study,” one studio
executive told faludi, referencing
the infamous (and eventually de-
bunked) 1986 cover story that
sparked panic when it stated that
women older than 40 were more
likely to be killed by a terrorist
than get married. That cover and
“fatal Attraction” arriving around
the same time, faludi says now,
“really delivered a wallop.”
faludi wrote about how
Dearden’s original script was
more of a critique of Douglas’s
character’s behavior, and Lansing
wanted the audience to feel empa-
thy for Close. But by the time it
went through studio rewrites and
test screenings, Close became the
true villain, which primed male
viewers to yell “kill the b---h” as
they watched the final scenes. fa-
ludi interviewed Lyne, who told
her that his research for the film
involved looking at photos of
apartments of single women who
worked in publishing, and he
found them “a little sad.” As for
feminists, he told faludi: “Sure
you got your career and your suc-
cess, but you are not fulfilled as a
woman.”
The overwhelming response to
that chapter, faludi speculated,
might be due to readers seeing
those quotes and realizing why
they felt somewhat uncomfort-
able watching the movie, even if
they couldn’t articulate why. A
SunSet boulevard/CorbIS/getty ImageS

common piece of feedback she
heard was, “I thought something
weird was going on here, but I had
no idea that this wasn’t just some
innocent thriller that happened to
have a crazy woman — that it was
actually and specifically aimed at
feminist advances, in particular in
the workplace.”
Lansing has always pushed
back on the idea that the movie is
anti-feminist and said those criti-
cisms “hurt” because she prides
herself on being a feminist. “I was
like, ‘This is one career woman —
this is not every career woman!’
We’re not against careers,” she
said, adding that she understands
why the movie is analyzed in new
ways as the culture evolves.
In her 2017 biography, Lansing
detailed the journey of the film
and the controversy over the end-
ing. originally, they filmed Alex
dying by suicide and framing Dan
for her murder, but test audiences,
disturbingly, wanted to see Alex
suffer even more. Lansing ex-
plained that Close initially re-
fused to reshoot the new ending,
because she had sympathy for
Alex’s mental state and hated that
she would be a “cliché” of a “fe-
male psycho.” Close has talked
many times through the years
about her discomfort with how
the character was portrayed.
The filmmakers all have their
own theories about why the obses-
sion with “fatal Attraction” still
persists: Lansing said rejection is
such a powerful force that people
will always relate to Close’s unrav-
eling, even if she took things a bit
too far. Jaffe theorized that every-
one seeing the movie connects
and brings a different history to
the emotional subject matter.
Some think it’s the unforgettable
scene with the poor bunny. Every-
one involved also makes the point
that it’s just a very compelling,
well-done movie.
In Hollywood, even before our
culture’s current nostalgia spree,
a box office hit means there’s al-
ways an impulse for a reboot. In
2014, a play adaptation launched
in London’s West End. In 2017, fox
attempted a TV version but re-
portedly scrapped the project
when they couldn’t cast Close’s
role. A publicist for Paramount
Plus said the creators of the reboot
were unavailable for this story,
but showrunner Alexandra Cun-
ningham has said in other inter-
views that she recognized the
huge undertaking in remaking
such an iconic movie and wanted
this show to offer a more nuanced
look at the character of Alex.
Billy Hopkins, the casting di-
rector, joined Lansing in disagree-
ing that the movie was anti-femi-
nist. “It really was of its era,” he
said. Good conversation or bad, he
remains taken aback how much
people still talk about the movie.
“I had no idea it was going to
become this ‘spokesperson’ for the
’80s,” he said, “But that’s sort of
what it was.”

Above all the rest

Nationals’ top prospect Wood stands 6-foot-6 and is moving up the ranks with all five tools
BY J ESSE D OUGHERTY
At some point in their retelling, the
memories start to sound like myths.
There was a travel baseball game in
Frederick. The kid in the batter’s box, no
older than 10, crushed a homer that
soared way past the fence and into the
top of a tree. The kid’s coach recalled the
fence was 200 feet from home plate and
the trees were 30 feet farther.
Then there was a showcase in Mariet-
ta, Ga. The kid was older, 17, and flicked a
shoulder-high fastball for an opposite-
field triple to left. When he got out of the
batter’s box, he started gathering speed
as if a strong wind was blowing in the
same direction as his legs, following him
to each bag. The teenager’s coach looked
into the crowd and saw dozens of scouts
and college recruiters taking notes.
And then there was an afternoon
workout last summer in Fredericksburg.
The teenager was James Wood, now the
Washington Nationals’ top prospect, the

to trade for Juan soto but had to in the

‘risk-free wager’ promos

BY D ANNY F UNT
one Friday afternoon last fall,

wrote to him that it disagreed
with his assertions. The company
did, however, acknowledge his
“frustration in the matter” and
offered him a full refund in ex-
change for him signing a confi-
dentiality agreement.
“This is problematic,” the man
wrote back, “because I’d like to

Alcaraz and Djokovic ease into the second round in Paris
BY H OWARD F ENDRICH
PARIS — Pretty much everyone
expects to see Carlos Alcaraz and
Novak Djokovic face each other
in the french open semifinals.
There’s work to be done first, of
course, and both began their
journeys at roland Garros with
straight-sets victories monday
against opponents making
Grand Slam debuts.
These were supposed to be
straightforward chances to ease
into the clay-court tournament
for the two popular picks to win
the men’s trophy — and it turned
out that way, other than a brief
late blip for each.
Djokovic, a 22-time major
champ seeded No. 3, was up first
on Court Philippe Chatrier, fac-
ing 114th-ranked Aleksandar Ko-
vacevic, 24, who grew up in New
York City and is now based in
florida.
Djokovic served for the victory
at 5-4 in the third set but got
broken there. Not surprisingly,
he quickly righted himself and
won, 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (7-1).
“I played really well and held
things under control for 21/2 sets,
and then [I] lost my serve and

On tennis from D1
At one point late in Tiafoe’s
commanding 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 push
through filip Krajinovic of
Serbia, Alcaraz’s face appeared
through some trees on the big
screen on the Lenglen facade as
he did his post-victory on-court
interview. His giant smile might
have looked haunting if it weren’t
so endearing.
Tiafoe, the marylander ranked
No. 12, and Alcaraz, the Spaniard
ranked No. 1, are just eight
months removed from their trip
together through a thundering
U.S. open semifinal in New York,
where they roamed into a fifth set
with a whole stack of things
jittering in the balance. Alcaraz
won that set, 6-3, which just went
to reiterate a truth.
The margins in top-realm
tennis always seem to be headed
from minuscule to more
minuscule. There’s no place for
the slightest complacency.
Tiafoe gave reporters a tutorial
on complacency at the 2023
Australian open, the year’s first
Grand Slam, after he arrived at
the same juncture he had reached
in 2019: the moment after a
breakthrough that calls for the
hard, hard art of sustaining it.
Just as he had reached the 2019
Australian open quarterfinals,
now he had reached the 2022 U.S.
open semifinals.
Alcaraz might not have had
enough time on Earth to
experience complacency if ever
he would anyway. He said the
following after his 6-0, 6-2, 7-5

Big Ten champ Terps

After a victory in the Big Ten
tournament championship game
a day earlier, maryland found out
monday that it will be heading to
an NCAA regional for the third
straight year.
The Terrapins (41-19) are
scheduled to play Northeastern
(44-14) on friday at 1 p.m. in the
Winston-Salem (N.C.) region,
hosted by No. 1 overall seed Wake
forest (47-10).
maryland is seeded second in
the region, with the Huskies
third. The teams met may 9 in
College Park, with Northeastern
prevailing, 9-2.
The fourth team in the
Winston-Salem region is George

Sunday in omaha to win the
conference tournament.

“But I managed to hold my
nerves and played pretty much a
perfect tiebreak.”
Kovacevic first met Djokovic
as a 7-year-old and later practiced
with him during the 2021 U.S.
open after playing college tennis
at Illinois.
“It’s definitely intimidating,”
Kovacevic said. “Watching him
on TV growing up, it’s hard not to
look past that and knowing what
he’s accomplished.
“The things he does well he
does unbelievably well, but the
ball that he hits — it’s not blowing
me completely off the court,
which was honestly somewhat
surprising.”
Next came Alcaraz, a one-time
major champ seeded No. 1, on
Court Suzanne Lenglen, facing
159th-ranked qualifier flavio Co-
bolli, a 21-year-old from florence.
Alcaraz held three match
points to close things at 5-3 in the
third set but couldn’t convert,
then found himself at 5-all min-
utes later. Not surprisingly, he
quickly righted himself and won,
6-0, 6-2, 7-5.

going this way. Then I was just

just going to keep going.’
“Got complacent, not doing the

different things, on the details,

The game caught up to me. You

damn, where did it all go?’ And
then you have to get yourself out
of a hole. . . . I’m so much more
focused and just really want it.”
In that vein, Tiafoe’s second-

looked notable for its arrant lack
of complacency. It lasted 2 hours
8 minutes. It featured wobbles

Error opens the floodgates, and Nats fall in Los Angeles
dodgers 6,
nationals 1
BY J ESSE D OUGHERTY
LOS ANGELES — How thin was
the Washington Nationals’ mar-
gin for error(s) at Dodger Sta-
dium on monday night?
Take the fifth inning, when
Trevor Williams was carving
through the Los Angeles Dodgers
until miguel Vargas chopped a
grounder to the left of second
base. Williams had yielded a lead-
off walk, which seemed moot
once a double play ball was
bouncing toward shortstop CJ
Abrams’s glove. But after Abrams
booted it, and after Chris Taylor
beat second baseman Luis
García’s throw to first by no more
than half a step two batters later,
keeping the Nationals from a
double play that would have end-
ed the threat, the Dodgers explod-
ed for a six-run inning and a 6-1
win.
mookie Betts singled. freddie
freeman ripped an inside fastball
for a two-run double. Then, after
Williams walked Will Smith, J.D.
martinez launched a belt-high
fastball for a three-run homer.
So, yeah, that’s how thin.
In an alternate universe, one
where the Dodgers and Nationals
don’t strike their blockbuster
trade in 2021 — one where Smith
Nationals’ top prospect Wood has all five tools as well as massive expectations
wooD from D1
tools — power, contact ability,
speed, a strong arm and a glove
— leading Baseball Prospectus to
rank him as mLB’s third-best
prospect entering this season.
Watching him now, listening
to the coaches he has played for,
it would seem as if everyone had
agreed on Wood’s promise from
the moment he held a bat. Think
again. In baseball, 6-6 position
players typically move to the
mound because of the assump-
tion they will struggle at the
highest levels.
And before the Padres drafted
Wood in the second round in
2021, evaluators questioned
whether his long arms would
keep him from reaching tough
fastballs, whether he could stick
in the outfield, whether he cared
enough. To them, Wood’s extra-
long strides often made it look as
though he were jogging instead
of sprinting. Teams called his
travel and high school coaches
and poked any hole they could.
one time, Kenny sat with an
agent who kept begging pro
scouts to read their stopwatches
before scribbling notes about
Wood.
Their biases, their knee-jerk
instinct to write off a player they
couldn’t fit in a box, told them
Wood was dogging it. The num-
bers showed blazing speed.
“You look at the big leagues,
and there’s not a lot of guys to
compare him to, so it’s hard,”
said Andy Partin, who coached
Wood the summer between his
junior and senior years at ImG
Academy. “He’s not shaped like
mike Trout. He’s not shaped like
Barry Bonds. But he is shaped
like James Wood, and that works
for him. I mean, boy, does it work
for him.”
In the Bronx
At the start of Wood’s junior
year of high school, James and
Kenny watched batting practice
at Yankee Stadium, waiting to
glimpse Aaron Judge or Giancar-
lo Stanton. Wood was maybe 6-5
then, both a baseball and basket-
ball player at St. John’s College
High. He wore a mississippi
State baseball shirt because he
had committed to the program,
not yet knowing he would shoot
up mLB draft boards.
manny Upton, father of major
leaguers B.J. and Justin Upton,
had coached Wood and thought
it would be good for him to see
super tall players in person. And
because Justin’s Angels were
playing the Yankees, manny got
Wood and Kenny on the field,
where marcus Thames, New
York’s hitting coach and a missis-
sippi native, noticed Wood’s shirt
and told Judge to walk over.
“Hi, I’m Aaron,” Wood remem-
bered Judge saying, hand ex-
tended, as if Wood didn’t know
his favorite player’s name. Judge
asked whether he played basket-
ball or football. Wood quietly
told him no, he was ready to
focus solely on becoming a pro-
fessional outfielder. So Judge
waved him past the ropes and
spoke with him for 10 minutes,
letting him stand on major
league grass for the first time.
Judge is a 6-7 outfielder and
broke the American League’s sin-
gle-season home run record in
2022. Stanton, Judge’s team-
Shortstop CJ Abrams turned this double play in the second inning, but his error in the fifth was costly.

maybe Keibert ruiz and Bobby
miller are battery mates, or may-
be they’re both members of the
Dodgers’ core instead of facing
each other. And in another uni-

out baseball history, there are
many pitchers who stood that

Earlier in the inning, third base
coach Gary DiSarcina was con-
servative on Corey Dickerson’s
double to the right field corner,
holding Joey meneses with one
out. Then, after Abrams split the
hole between the first and second
basemen, DiSarcina waved
around the slow-footed Dicker-
son. right fielder Jason Heyward
threw him out by a few steps. The
Nationals (23-31) didn’t get an-
other runner past second.
Williams was full-on cruising
until the Dodgers (33-22)
knocked him around in the fifth.
He needed 10 pitches, dotting his
low-90s sinker, to dip in and out
left-handed-hitting shortstop,”
Wood said of why teams might
shy away from tall position play-
ers, adding that he closely watch-
es oneil Cruz, a 6-7 shortstop for
the Pittsburgh Pirates. “You
could compare a guy like that to
Corey Seager. . . . Being uncon-
ventional, there’s obviously just
going to be a lot more doubt on
whether it will really work or
not.”
Is he usually drawn to players
who look like him?
“I don’t have a bias,” he said
with a hint of a smile tugging at
the corners of his mouth. “If
they’re good, I’ll watch them.”
on the long and winding path
to the majors, tall players face
scrutiny about their ability to
stay healthy, hit low pitches and
fill any position but first base or
designated hitter. It feels easier,
then, to convert them to pitch-
ers or nudge them toward the
basketball court. Wood has bas-
ketball in his blood and stuck
with it for a while. His dad once
starred at the University of
richmond. His oldest sister,
Kayla, was a manager for the
women’s team at Notre Dame,
and Sydney, the middle child,
just finished playing at North-
western.
But when Wood had a ball in
his hands, he felt pressure he
couldn’t shake. (And if he’s being
totally honest, he didn’t like
covering sweaty big men.) The
pressure bit confused Paula
when Wood drifted toward a
sport that would turn his envi-
able size into a question mark.
“Baseball doesn’t feel that
way?” she recalled asking him,
probing at how he would feel
with two strikes in the last
inning, with everything on the
d3
of the first. He needed only eight
more to complete the second,
riding a strikeout and a smooth
double play from first baseman
Dominic Smith and Abrams.
Through four innings, he had
blanked a first-place team on an
efficient 50 pitches.
But a lineup with Betts, free-
man, Smith and martinez is al-
ways waiting to pounce on mis-
takes. Abrams made one in the
fifth when he fumbled the poten-
tial double play ball into shallow
center. Heyward, seeing the error
all the way, never broke stride
while going first to third. He
scored the Dodgers’ first run on
James outman’s sacrifice fly.
A batter later, Taylor hit a
grounder to third baseman Jeim-
er Candelario, who fired to sec-
ond to start an around-the-horn
double play attempt. But despite
a quick turn, García’s throw was a
hair late, extending a rally that
accelerated once the Dodgers’ or-
der turned over. Six straight bat-
ters reached on Williams, the
biggest punch coming when mar-
tinez took him deep to center. He
fell behind six of the 10 batters he
faced in the inning. Behind him,
relievers Thaddeus Ward and Er-
asmo ramírez retired all nine
batters they faced.
Since all six runs were un-
earned, Williams’s ErA dropped
from 4.32 to 3.93. But that was
little consolation in a lopsided
loss.
line.
“That doesn’t feel like pres-
sure,” Wood told her, and they
left it at that.
“I wish people knew what a
smart baseball player he is,”
Paula said this spring. “If you ask
him about any at-bat, he can tell
you what he was thinking, what
he did right, what he did wrong. I
think one of the ways he handles
all the pressure and attention is
focusing on his craft.”
Back in wilmington
A day after hitting that triple
in April, Wood sat atop the
bench, his right foot resting on
the dugout floor. His first season
at ImG, a premier sports acad-
emy in Bradenton, fla., was up-
ended by the coronavirus pan-
demic. But because ImG restart-
ed before any college or pro
teams, area pro scouts swarmed
its games and practices.
As a senior, Wood fell into a
short slump that may have low-
ered his draft stock. Sure, he
faced some top pitchers — and
the umpiring wasn’t flawless —
yet every strikeout made Wood
want to disappear. He hated
walking off the field as all the
scouts tapped their phones and
iPads. He even raised his pants to
around his knees, hoping the
high socks would show umps
where his zone should start.
“I felt like I was on an island,
like everyone was watching me
and I couldn’t hide,” Wood said.
“I wasn’t really sure where to go
from there.”
So where did he go?
“A lot of time in the cage,” he
said with a laugh, bumping his
head on the dugout’s concrete
ceiling. Then he rubbed it a little.
Then he considered what he
ultimately wants from baseball,
squinting his eyes as if his whole
future was out there in the
distance.
“I just want to be able to walk
away on my own terms” is what
he landed on. “Have a career
where I say I did all I could, I left
it all out there, I don’t have any
big regrets.”
Even if the sport wasn’t built
for an outfielder his size, the
Nationals’ rebuild should have
plenty of room. At the end of
Wood’s first professional season
in 2021, he had essentially cut his
strikeout rate in half, an almost
impossible feat for a player who
bypassed college.
All spring, members of the
Nationals’ front office have raved
about his plate discipline and
feel for the strike zone. And if it
didn’t feel so reductive to con-
nect Wood to the star he was
traded for, here is where you
would point out the similarities
to a young Juan Soto, who de-
buted for Washington at 19 and
never looked back.
That afternoon in Wilming-
ton, Wood crushed four straight
batting practice homers to a
parking lot well beyond the right
field fence. That night, he hit a
ball to the left-center gap and
caught a teammate who had to
wait at second until it dropped.
on Wood’s path to the majors,
tests will come from all direc-
tions, trying to keep him from
fulfilling every last ounce of his
outsize potential.
Every top prospect deals with
it. The giant ones just have to a
little more.

DALLAS — William Karlsson
scored two goals and had an assist
as the Vegas Golden Knights ad-
vanced to their second Stanley
Cup finals monday night with a
6-0 rout of the Dallas Stars, who
had extended the Western Confer-
ence finals to six games after los-
ing the first three.
William Carrier, Keegan Kole-
sar and michael Amadio each had
a goal and an assist for the
Knights, and Jonathan marches-
sault had a goal. Carrier, marches-
sault and Karlsson were all part of
the inaugural 2017-18 Knights sea-
son that ended in a loss to the
Washington Capitals in the Cup
finals.
Adin Hill stopped 23 shots for
his second career playoff shutout
— both against the Stars. The
other was 4-0 in Game 3 last
Tuesday, when the Knights were
already within one win of clinch-
ing the series before Dallas over-
came 1-0 and 2-1 deficits in both
Games 4 and 5.
Vegas led the Western Confer-
ence in the regular season with 51
wins and 111 points. The florida
Golden Knights center William Karlsson, right, celebrates with
Michael Amadio after scoring one of his two goals in Game 6.
Panthers completed a four-game
sweep of Carolina in the East final
Wednesday, but their 40 wins and
92 points in the regular season
were the fewest among the 16
teams that began these NHL play-
offs.
Instead of having to face a do-
or-die Game 7 at home against the
Stars, Coach Bruce Cassidy and
the Knights got off to another fast
start and never left any doubt
GAreTh PATTerSoN/ASSociATed PreSS
about the outcome of this series
that included three overtime
games.
It was the most lopsided playoff
loss for the Stars since the fran-
chise moved south from minne-
sota before the 1993-94 season.
“You just expect more from
yourself in a game like this,” said
Stars forward Joe Pavelski, the
38-year-old veteran still without a
Stanley Cup after 17 seasons.
The Stars got captain Jamie
Benn back after his two-game
suspension for a cross-check to
the neck area of Vegas captain
mark Stone early in Game 3. But
Benn already had a minus-2 rat-
ing without a shot after playing
only 3 minutes 46 seconds in the
first period and finished minus-2
with only one shot in his 121/2 min-
utes on the ice.
Vegas led for good when Carri-
er scored 3:41 into the game after
a puck poked from behind the net
in the vicinity of three Dallas
players. Carrier skated across the
front of the crease and put a
backhander in the net, the ninth
time this postseason the Knights
scored in the first five minutes of a
game.
Vegas avoided a Game 7 at
home against the Stars and Coach
Peter DeBoer, who is 7-0 in such
do-or-die games, including the Se-
attle series finale two weeks ago.
DeBoer was the Vegas coach for its
only Game 7 wins — in the second
round in 2020 against Vancouver
and 2021 in the first round against
minnesota. But he was fired by
the Golden Knights after they
missed the playoffs last season.

Nurse is set
to become
new coach
of the 76ers
BY B EN G OLLIVER

The Philadelphia 76ers agreed

to hire Nick Nurse as coach, a
person with knowledge of the
situation confirmed monday.
Philadelphia moved quickly to re-
place Doc Rivers, who was fired
this month after a second-round
playoff exit.
Nurse, 55, arrives in Philadel-
phia after compiling a 227-163
(.582) record over five seasons
with the Toronto Raptors. The
Iowa native, who spent five years
as a Toronto assistant before as-
suming the top job in 2018, led the
Raptors to the 2019 title but was
fired last month after his team
missed the playoffs for the second
time in three seasons. ESPN first
reported Nurse’s agreement with
the 76ers.
much like Rivers before him,
Nurse will be tasked with deliver-
ing the 76ers’ first Eastern Confer-
ence finals appearance since
2001, when they lost in the NBA
finals. Aside from centerpiece
Joel Embiid, the reigning mVP,
the makeup of Philadelphia’s ros-
ter remains in flux as star guard
James Harden heads for free
agency.
Nurse is considered a creative
tactician with a strong personal-
ity, and he lifted the Raptors to
championship heights after the
franchise seemingly hit the wall
in the playoffs under previous
coach Dwane Casey. As Toronto’s
retooling effort unfolded follow-
ing the title, Nurse began to lean
heavily on his veteran starters in
the regular season and the play-
offs. That approach could be diffi-
cult to implement in Philadel-

HEAT fROm D1
NBA teams that have taken a 3-0
series lead are now 151-0 in
best-of-seven playoff series.
Nikola Jokic and the Denver
Nuggets will host the Heat in
Game 1 of the finals on Thursday
night at Ball Arena.
“We are the men in the arena
with blood, sweat and dust on
our faces,” Spoelstra said. “I
think a lot of people can relate to
this team because sometimes
you have to suffer for the things
you really want. . . . Sometimes
you have to laugh at the things
that make you cry. [Losing
Game 6] could puncture a team’s
spirit, but instead it drove us to
more resolve.”
Heat star Jimmy Butler and
undrafted forward Caleb martin
overwhelmed the cold-shooting
Celtics, who couldn’t muster the
requisite energy after their last-
second Game 6 victory Saturday
night in miami. Butler finished
early in the fourth quarter to put
the game out of reach. martin,
making his second start of the
series, added 26 points and four
three-pointers, keeping Boston
at bay as it tried to make a
third-quarter push.
The 33-year-old Butler, who
led the Heat to the 2020 NBA
finals but is still seeking his first
championship, was named East-
ern Conference finals mVP. mi-
ami’s victory avenged its Game 7
loss to Boston in last year’s East
finals and prevented it from
ending up on the wrong side of
history after the gutting Game 6
loss threatened its season.
“I have so much belief in
myself and this group of guys,”
Butler said. “We stayed together
as a group and a team. We talked
about going to get a tough one on
the road. We did that. We’re not
satisfied. We’re excited and hap-
py, but we’ve got four more
[wins] to go.”
miami, which needed to play
seed to win an NBA champion-
ship. It knocked off the top-seed-
ed milwaukee Bucks, the fifth-
seeded New York Knicks and the
second-seeded Celtics during a
12-6 run through the Eastern
Conference playoffs.
The Boston crowd came
primed for a memorial Day cel-
ebration, but the night opened
on an ominous note when Jayson
Tatum fell to the court grasping
his left ankle on the opening
possession. The all-star forward
shook off the pain, but the Celtics
remained a step slow throughout
the first quarter.
Boston missed all 10 of its
three-point attempts in the
opening period and sputtered to
just 15 points, its lowest-scoring
quarter of the series. Indeed,
both teams opened as if they felt
the weight of the night and were
still emotionally hung over from
Derrick White’s dramatic game-
winner Saturday.
“I thought we played tight,”
The buzz that built before
tip-off, egged on by cameos from
former Celtics stars Paul Pierce,
Rajon Rondo and Isaiah Thomas,
settled into concerned murmurs
and a boo or two when the Heat’s
lead reached double digits early
in the second quarter. Boston
missed its first 12 three-pointers
— Al Horford finally broke the
cold streak two minutes into the
second — as it shot 4 for 21 from
deep in the first half. The Heat,
powered by Butler and martin,
took a 52-41 lead into the break.
Boston made its play midway
through the third quarter as
White scored eight straight
points to cut miami’s lead to
eight. But martin kept providing
timely counterpunches, shaking
free of the Celtics’ defense to
shoot 11 for 16 from the field.
“Caleb is a competitor,”
Spoelstra said. “When you get to
the higher stakes, the further you
get along, the more competitors
are going to reveal themselves.
miami opened the fourth
quarter with the first seven
points to end Boston’s hopes, and
disappointed boos rained
down as Jaylen Brown offered
an offensive foul and a turn-
over in response. mazzulla
pulled his starters with two min-
utes remaining, when the once-
electric building was already
half-empty.
Tatum finished with a quiet 14
points on 5-for-13 shooting, and
Brown scored a team-high 19
points on 8-for-23 shooting. Bos-
ton, which lived and died by the
three-pointer all season, finished
9 for 42 (21.4 percent) from deep,
and its 84 points were its fewest
of the postseason.
After the Celtics spent a week
frantically digging out of their
series hole, they fell right back
in.
“The guys cared,” mazzulla
said. “They gave it everything
they had. They could easily have
folded, and they didn’t. That’s
The 76ers were eliminated by
the Boston Celtics in seven games
in the East semifinals; they fell in
that round for the fifth time in six
years (with the exception being a
first-round exit in 2020). Rivers,
61, was pushed out after compil-
ing a 154-82 (.653) record in three
seasons.
Philadelphia’s move is the first
major development of what will
be a hectic coaching carousel. In
addition to the dismissals of
Nurse and Rivers, the milwaukee
Bucks fired mike Budenholzer
and the Phoenix Suns cut ties with
monty Williams following post-
season disappointments. Rivers,

Svrluga from D1
The other six selections will be
up to Johnson and his vice
captains. The catch: other than
at the majors, points are awarded
exclusively at PGA Tour events —
one point per $1,000 earned. LIV
golfers are barred from PGA Tour
events.
So at the moment, Koepka —
who earned double points by
winning the PGA Championship
— is the only LIV golfer in the top
six. If he doesn’t perform well at
the remaining two majors, he
could easily be bumped out of the
top six by players who have the
opportunity to earn points every
week.
Yet Koepka’s play at the
masters (tied for second) and the
PGA — not to mention restored
health that has returned his
unmatched swagger — makes it
nearly impossible to argue that
the best U.S. team would be one
without him. Scottie Scheffler is
ranked No. 1 in the world and is
the only player above Koepka in
the ryder Cup standings. Listen
to him.
“I don’t care about tours or
anything like that,” he said at the
PGA. “I want to win the ryder
Cup. . . . We want a team of guys
that are going over there together
to bring the cup back home, and
that’s all I really care about.”
Appropriately so. for its part,
Europe is in a bit of a bind. While
the American side of the ryder
Cup is run by the PGA of America
— a wholly separate entity from
the PGA Tour — the European
side of the competition is
overseen by ryder Cup Europe,
an outfit owned partially by the
DP World Tour. That circuit, like
the PGA Tour (but unlike the PGA
of America), is in litigation with
LIV Golf.
ryder Cup Europe already
ousted its chosen captain, Henrik
Stenson of Sweden, when he
joined LIV last year. The DP
World Tour is fining LIV players
who maintain membership on its
tour, and membership on the DP
World Tour is required to play for
Europe in the ryder Cup. Luke
Donald of England, Stenson’s
replacement as captain, has
made it clear to at least one LIV
player that he would not be
selected.
“I wanted him to be sincere
and tell me the truth, and he
pretty much told me that I had no
chance,” Spain’s Sergio Garcia, a
ryder Cup mainstay for two
decades, said last week at the LIV
event outside Washington. “. . . It
was sad because I felt like, not
only because of my history but
the way I’ve been playing, that I
probably could have a chance.
But it didn’t sound like it.”
The majors, to this point, are
untarnished by the LIV-PGA
Tour-DP World Tour spat — but
unless the formula for gaining
entry to them changes, that won’t
last long. The U.S. open, for
instance, includes automatic
entry for players in the top 60 of
the world rankings — a system
that doesn’t award points for
LIV’s 54-hole glorified
exhibitions.
Both of the following can be
true: The rankings shouldn’t
grant LIV events points that are
on par with those from the PGA
Tour, and the majors have to
come up with a system that
acknowledges LIV Golf includes
some of the best players in the
world. Their tournaments would
be lessened without them.
one consideration LIV players
are knocking around, according
to DeChambeau, the 2020 U.S.
open champ: “Creating an
exemption category for LIV
players based on how they play
during the course of the year.
. . . The [official World Golf
ranking] points, we’ve gone so
far down the list now that it’s
really difficult to make us even
relevant.”
He’s right about that. The only
American LIV players in the top
60 are Koepka (14th) and reed

(47th). Their current option for
gaining entry to the majors: Win
one and get the exemptions that
come with the trophy. That’s it.
Back to the ryder Cup. LIV
Golf may be nauseating, but it
has changed the sport. Allowing
those changes to include
thinning down golf’s greatest
events would help no one and
hurt everyone — the LIV players,
sure, but golf fans more than
that. A U.S. ryder Cup team that
couldn’t even consider the
inclusion of Brooks Koepka or
Dustin Johnson would be seeking
a political victory in Italy, not a
golf victory. That shouldn’t
happen. Don’t let it, Zach.

Blaney ends long skid at longest race
Coca-Cola 600 victory
gives Penske his first
holiday weekend sweep
BY S TEVE REED
CONCORD, N.C. — Jumping into
the crowd to celebrate a big race
victory appears to have become a
Team Penske thing.
Ryan Blaney held off William
Byron to win the rescheduled Co-
ca-Cola 600 on monday at Char-
lotte motor Speedway, giving
team owner Roger Penske a sweep
of the memorial Day weekend’s
top races in the United States.
Josef Newgarden won a record-
extending 19th Indianapolis 500
on Sunday for Team Penske. Like
Newgarden, Blaney jumped out of
his car and climbed into the
crowd to celebrate with fans.
“I only did it because Josef did
it,” Blaney said. “I was pretty fired
up. I don’t get that excited very
often, but I was super pumped. I
loved how Josef did it Sunday. . . .
I said, ‘I am going to go in the
stands like Josef did and have
some human contact.’ ”
A few moments later, he tried
to hold back tears with the weight
of a 59-race winless streak lifted
from his shoulders.
“You start to get to feel like you
can’t win anymore,” Blaney said.
“We hadn’t won in a while, and
that can get hard. I want to thank
the 12 [team] for believing in me.”
Blaney took the lead from By-
ron on a restart and led the final
26 laps to earn his first Cup Series
victory since August 2021 at Day-
tona International Speedway.
Byron finished second, fol-
lowed by martin Truex Jr., Bubba
Wallace and Tyler Reddick.
Truex said Blaney’s emotions
are understandable.
“He’s under a lot of pressure to
perform,” Truex said. “They’ve
won a lot of races since his last
race. I’m sure he questioned him-
self through some point during
that streak that he was on. He’s
had many opportunities to win,
and they’ve slipped away. Those
are the hardest to think about, so
he’s probably thinking, ‘We finally
did it.’ ”

Ryan Blaney celebrates winning the rain-delayed Coca-Cola 600 at
Charlotte Motor Speedway and breaking a 59-race winless streak.
It is the first time Team Penske
has swept the Indianapolis-Char-
lotte doubleheader.
Blaney’s victory came just days
before Penske hosts a weekend of
racing on the downtown streets of
Detroit. Then, the 86-year-old
heads to the 24 Hours of Le mans,
one of the very few events he has
yet to win.
The 51/2-hour race included five
wrecks in the final 50 laps, includ-
ing one with 26 to go when Kyle
Larson, last week’s All-Star Race
winner, spun and took out de-
fending Cup Series champion
Joey Logano, Kyle Busch and
Christopher Bell.
Blaney had passed Byron on
the previous restart, then got the
jump on him again on the final
restart and pulled away.
It was a rain-soaked weekend
at Charlotte, which washed out
practice and qualifying and post-
poned the race to monday. That
meant drivers began the race
without ever having turned a lap
in the NextGen cars at the 1.5-mile
oval for the first time in Coca-Cola
600 history.
more rain caused the race to be
red-flagged for nearly an hour
after 158 laps, making the longest
Cup race of the year even longer.

ny Hamlin was left fuming after

his day ended with a wreck on Lap
186, prompting him to call for
NASCAR to suspend its most pop-
ular driver, Chase Elliott.
Hamlin claimed the Hendrick
motorsports driver intentionally
wrecked him by hooking his right
rear bumper following a dust-up
earlier in the race.
“It’s a tantrum, and he
shouldn’t be racing next week,”
Hamlin said of Elliott. “Right rear
hooks are absolutely unaccept-
able. I don’t care.”
Elliott denied intentionally
wrecking Hamlin in retaliation.
Hamlin wasn’t the only one
fired up.
During the rain delay, televi-
sion cameras caught Aric Almiro-
la throwing punches at Wallace
after the two exchanged words.
Wallace would not say what
sparked the altercation and said
he wasn’t surprised at what un-
folded.
“When you walk around with
two faces, that’s what you get,”
Wallace said.

After a “risk-free” promotion drew a complaint, BetMGM altered the way it markets certain wagers.
BetMGM changes advertising language
BETTING fRom D1
BetmGm did nothing wrong and
closed the case with little expla-
nation. State officials encouraged
the man to take it up with Bet-
mGm. “It is baffling,” he replied,
“that the Virginia Lottery cannot
explain the basis for its finding
and, instead, would rather broker
an agreement to buy my silence.”
The Virginia Lottery declined
to comment on this specific dis-
pute or regulatory enforcement
in general. “The Lottery takes
player complaints seriously and
diligently looks into them,” a
spokesperson said.
An industry revision
Last September alone, gam-
blers in Virginia wagered
$411 million on sports. There, and
across the country, sportsbooks
have deployed “risk-free” promo-
tions to attract new customers
and to keep deposits coming from
existing bettors. Critics, includ-
ing some in the gambling indus-
try, say these offers are often
deceptive, leading inexperienced
bettors to wager over their heads
under the false impression that
they have nothing to lose. As the
regulatory attorney’s case dem-
onstrated, even a “risk-free” pro-
motion can result in the customer
losing every penny.
And his dispute comes amid an
industry recalibration. ohio and
massachusetts, which introduced
legal sports betting this year,
outlawed calling a promotion
“free” if it puts bettors at financial
risk. ohio then fined BetmGm,
DraftKings and Caesars Sports-
book $150,000 each for violating
advertising rules, including de-
scribing offers inaccurately as
“risk-free.” The NBA recently
deemed it “a problematic term
from a responsible gaming and a
problem gaming standpoint” and
prohibited the league’s advertis-
ing partners from using it during
broadcasts. A trade group, the
American Gaming Association,
banned members from offering
“risk-free” deals. A class-action
lawsuit in New York accuses Cae-
sars Sportsbook of “making un-
truthful and deceptive promises”
with its “risk-free” and “free bet”
offers.
In response to this backlash,
some sportsbooks have subtly
rebranded their promotions. fan-
Duel and DraftKings switched
from “risk-free” to “no sweat,” and
BetmGm now offers new custom-
ers “up to $1,000 paid back in
bonus bets” if their first bet loses.
Critics say these modified offers
continue to obscure the risk in-
volved.
Where does all this leave the
thousands of Americans who, in
recent years, lost money on “risk-
free” promotions? If BetmGm
would have been willing to pay
the Virginia attorney 12 times the
amount he lost, are customers in
Virginia with similar experiences
— and perhaps people in other
states with comparable laws and
promotions — entitled to restitu-
tion, too?
After hearing a summary of the
man’s experience from a reporter,
State Sen. Jeremy S. mcPike (D-
Prince William), who introduced
the 2020 bill legalizing sports
the washington post
amanda andRade-Rhoades foR the WashInGton Post
betting in Virginia, said other
people who lost money on Bet-
mGm’s promotion deserve to be
compensated, too. “If a company
has offered something and they,
frankly, misled, I think they owe
customers,” mcPike said. If the
inherent risk of “risk-free” pro-
motions “hasn’t been clear,” he
added, “that’s an issue.”
BetmGm said in a statement
that while it “can’t comment on
individual customer communica-
tions, we take all customer inqui-
ries and concerns seriously. Bet-
mGm has and will continue to
work closely with our state gam-
ing regulators to comply with
applicable laws and regulations.”
Fighting over fine print
The attorney placed his first
wager with BetmGm after seeing
advertisements offering new cus-
tomers a “risk-free” bet of up to
$1,000. He decided to bet that
max amount on doubles tennis. “I
thought there was no way that
Roger federer was going to lose
his last professional tennis
match,” he said in an interview,
“especially if he was partnered
with Rafael Nadal.” The creaky-
kneed stars lost.
many novice bettors assume
that if a “risk-free” bet loses, they
will be refunded in full, but this
customer, having read BetmGm’s
terms and conditions before-
hand, said he understood that a
losing bet would be compensated
with five non-withdrawable $200
“free bet” credits that expire after
seven days. He planned to bet the
credits on heavy favorites, assum-
ing this would give him a strong
chance of walking away whole.
But when he went to bet a $200
credit on Alabama’s football team
to defeat Vanderbilt, a 40.5-point
underdog, he said he was shocked
to discover that if the Crimson
Tide rolled to victory, he would be
able to withdraw just $2. (Ala-
bama was a massive 1-100 favor-
ite.)
Typically, a gambling payout
returns the original stake in addi-
tion to winnings, meaning some-
one who bet $200 on Alabama at
those odds could end up with
$202. BetmGm’s terms stipulated
that “the value of your free Bet
will not be included in any win-
nings,” which the attorney inter-
preted to be reiterating the point
that the bet credits themselves
aren’t withdrawable before
they’re wagered. In fact, the “bo-
nus bets” themselves are essen-
tially valueless; the only with-
drawable funds from winning
bets are the payouts. Plus, ac-
counting for the sportsbook’s
built-in advantage, a successful
$200 bet at typical odds returns
about $181. So even winning
three of the five $200 free bets
would have turned that “risk-
free” $1,000 stake into about
$545.
The customer argued his ini-
tial confusion was validated
when BetmGm later updated the
promotion’s terms to read, “The
value of a Bonus Bet, once re-
deemed, will not be included in
any winnings,” an edit that he
believes implicitly acknowledged
that the original language wasn’t
clear. He initiated an extensive
back-and-forth with the Virginia
. tuesday, may 30 , 2023
Lottery, citing six regulations that
he believed BetmGm had violat-
ed. They ranged from the subjec-
tive (such as a law requiring that
“promotional or free games do
not mislead players”) to more
explicit rules, such as a prohibi-
tion against sportsbooks requir-
ing customers to waive their right
to take legal action. The updated
fine print of BetmGm’s promo-
tion for new customers features a
broad release of liability, includ-
ing that participants “waive any
right to claim any ambiguity or
error” concerning “this Sports
Promotion itself.”
Virginia officials did not ad-
dress his argument that Bet-
mGm’s promotion ran afoul of
state codes. The attorney said he
initially sought $50,000 from
BetmGm, and the company made
six counteroffers before propos-
ing to pay $12,000 on march 23,
according to documentation he
showed The Post. The settle-
ments BetmGm drafted denied
any wrongdoing and included a
sweeping confidentiality provi-
sion.
As part of a proposed settle-
ment, the man tried unsuccess-
fully to get BetmGm to commit to
modifying its promotion. Ulti-
mately, rather than accept a set-
tlement, he said he hoped to
influence lawmakers by publiciz-
ing his experience.
many of the 33 states with legal
sports betting delegate oversight
to a state gaming commission.
Anthony Cabot, a distinguished
fellow in gaming law at UNLV,
said there’s an “inherent conflict”
when state lotteries are tasked
with enforcing sports betting
laws and investigating custom-
ers’ disputes. “It’s very important
to have an independent regulato-
ry body overseeing gaming in a
jurisdiction,” he said, “not the
profit-motivated engine of the
government.”
In Virginia, reform may al-
ready be in motion. mcPike said
the legislature is considering
transferring gaming enforcement
to a new regulatory commission.
“We’re going to learn these les-
sons to be able to adapt and make
sure that we have stronger con-
sumer protections,” he said.
on the federal level, Rep. Paul
Tonko (D-N.Y.) introduced legis-
lation this year that would ban all
sports betting advertisements on
platforms regulated by the feder-
al Communications Commission,
such as TV and radio. The bill is
modeled after a similar ban on
tobacco ads. Tonko, co-chair of
the Addiction, Treatment and Re-
covery Caucus in Congress, likens
sportsbooks’ celebrity pitchmen
to advertising mascot Joe Camel
and describes “risk-free” and “no
sweat” offers as “predatory.”
Tonko said the Virginia attor-
ney’s experience reflected a
“mind-boggling” business and
regulatory environment. He said
it isn’t enough for sports leagues
to crack down on misleading ads.
“Where is the guarantee?” he
asked. “Where is the statutorily
etched outcome that says, ‘These
are the guardrails’?”
“It’s a crisis in the making,”
Tonko added, “that should be
addressed while we can get our
arms around it.”

onica Hale recently turned 69, but she says she still
feels like a youngster every time she dives, swims
upside-down or practices the “barrel,” a sophisticated
move she usually attempts with a trusted synchro-

Hale, who is Black, became fascinated with synchronized
swimming as a child while watching the champion swimmer
and movie star esther Williams, a White woman, perform in
water musicals on television. “she would do these fabulous turns
and come up at the surface like a flower,” Hale recalls. “I
remember thinking, I want to do this one day. But you never saw
Black people doing this. You never saw Black people very much
in the water at all.”
Today, Hale is the proud captain of the Harlem Honeys and

whose current members are between 62 and 101 and almost

being around birds is
associated with better mental

Everyday encounters with
birds are associated with better
mental health.
In one study, researchers
asked about 1,300 participants to
collect information about their
environment and well-being
three times a day using a
smartphone app called Urban
mind.

even when accounting for other
possible explanations such as
education, occupation, or the
presence of greenery and water,
which have themselves been
associated with positive mental
health.
The benefits persisted well
beyond the bird encounter. If a
participant reported seeing or
hearing birds at one point, their
mental well-being was higher, on
average, hours later even if they
did not encounter birds at the
next check-in.
ryan Hammoud, a PhD
candidate at the Institute of
Psychiatry, Psychology &
Neuroscience at King’s College
London and an author of the
study, called it a “time-lasting
link.”
Intriguingly, the birds benefit
both healthy participants and
those who have been diagnosed
with depression, which is one of
the most common mental
illnesses worldwide and does not
always respond to conventional
pharmaceutical treatments.
This has an interesting
implication for trying to protect
and preserve environments to
sustain bird life, Hammoud said,
“because people with depression
do show positive effects toward
birdsong and birdlife in the area.”
Listening to birdsongs
alleviates feelings of anxiety
and paranoia
A second study found that
listening to short — just six-
minute — audio clips of birdsong
could reduce feelings of anxiety,
depression and paranoia in
healthy participants.
“Listening to birdsong
through headphones was able to
hit the same pathways that might
be beneficial toward mental well-
being,” said Hammoud, who was
decrease in depressive symptoms
in addition to significant
decreases in feelings of anxiety
and paranoia. And those who
listened to less diverse birdsongs
(two bird species) also reported a
significant decrease in feelings of
anxiety and paranoia.
(This study was conducted in
Europe, and the birds featured
were also European.)
By contrast, listening to more
or less diverse traffic noise
worsened symptoms of
depressive states.
The research shows the
“healing aspects of nature, or
also the not-so-positive effects of
urban surroundings,” said
Stobbe, an author of the second
study.
Previous research on the
health effects of nature sounds
found that they could even
confer cognitive benefits,
although the second study did
not replicate that finding.
Why nature and birds may
benefit us
Birds help us feel more
connected with nature and its
health effects, Stobbe said, and
the more connected we are to
nature, the more we can benefit
from those effects.
one hypothesis on nature’s
salubrious effects, known as the
attention restoration theory,
posits that being in nature is
good for improving
concentration and decreasing
the mental fatigue associated
with living in stressful urban
environments. Natural stimuli,
such as birdsong, may allow us to
engage in “soft fascination,”
which holds our attention but
also allows it to replenish.
Nature — and birdsong — also
reduce stress. Previous research
has found that time spent in
the posterior cingulate cortex,
which is associated with
behavioral stress responses and
may help regulate the reduction
in stress responses from nature
exposure.
Going out to see birds also
tends to encourage more physical
activity, which has its own
panoply of mental health
benefits, and exercising outdoors
may, in turn, magnify the health
benefits of exercise.

be aware. When we go
outside, it is easy to forget that
birds are also there singing their
hearts out if we don’t pay
attention.
“Try to be aware. And that’s
actually all that you need to do,”
Stobbe said. “And with this little
step, you can be one step closer to
getting those beneficial effects or
enhancing the time that you
spend outdoors.”

Smartphone applications such as
merlin Bird ID and BirdNet, both
produced by the Cornell Lab of
ornithology, can help identify
the bird producing the song and
visualize its spectrogram. Apps
such as these or eBird also help
identify the bird you are seeing

recent preliminary study found
that birdwatchers who paid
attention to the joy they felt for
each bird reported greater
mental health benefits than
those who merely counted the

Birdsongs can be used to
soothe our minds in a stressful
world, or in a clinical setting to
treat patients with anxiety or
paranoia, both studies suggest.
“People can use easy,

Brewing for the arts. Danish masters prepped
their canvases with byproducts of beer making
B Y M ADDIE B URAKOFF
Danish painters in the 19th
century may have turned to an
unusual source for some of their
supplies: breweries.
researchers examined paint-
ings from the Danish Golden Age
and found traces of yeast and
grains. That suggests painters
were turning to byproducts from
breweries to prepare canvases,
they reported last Wednesday in
the journal Science Advances.
Study author Cecil Krarup An-
dersen said they went into the
project looking for glue made
from animals.
“Then, by surprise, we found
something completely different,”
said Andersen, a paintings con-
servator at the royal Danish
Academy.
The brewing leftovers would
have been spread over the can-
vases as a paste, creating a
smooth surface and preventing
the paint from seeping through,
Andersen explained. Today, this
priming process is usually done
with a white mixture known as
gesso.
The authors said that knowing
what is on the canvases will help
in conserving them.
In the study, scientists took a
look at works by two of the first
master painters to come out of
Denmark — Christoffer Wilhelm
Eckersberg, considered the fa-
ther of Danish painting, and
Christen Schiellerup Kobke.
To get a peek underneath their
scenes of bobbing ships and fam-
ily portraits, researchers used
pieces of canvas that had been
trimmed off the paintings in an
earlier conservation project.
The team analyzed the little
strips to pick out what kinds of
proteins were in them, explained
S cieN ce S caN
lead author fabiana Di Gian-
vincenzo, a heritage scientist now
at Slovenia’s University of
Ljubljana.
Their results showed that sev-
en of the 10 paintings contained
mixes of yeast, wheat, rye and
barley proteins — some of the key
ingredients for a good Danish ale.
Beer itself was a precious com-
modity at the time — it was even
used to pay salaries — so artists
probably weren’t pouring actual
drinks onto their work, Di Gian-
vincenzo said. Instead, the royal
Danish Academy of fine Arts,
which prepared canvases for its
artists, likely bought leftover
mash from breweries.
Knowing what is
on the canvases
will help in conserving
them, researchers say.
This kind of recycling wasn’t
uncommon, Andersen said. Art-
ists also used bits of sails for their
canvases and boiled leather
scraps for their glue. records
from the time also suggested that
beer products may have been
used in the arts.
The research links two el-
ements of Danish culture, Ander-
sen said.
“What represents Denmark?
Well, beer is one of the first things
that some people think about,”
Andersen said. “But then also,
this particular time and these
particular paintings are deeply
rooted in our story as a nation.”

The participants were not
explicitly told that the
researchers were looking at birds
— the app was also collecting
data about other vitals such as
sleep quality, subjective
assessment of air quality and
location details. But the 26,856
assessments offered a rich data
set of what is associated with
mental well-being in real time in
the real world.
By analyzing the data, the
researchers found a significant
positive association between
seeing or hearing birds and
improved mental well-being,
not involved in the second study.
“That’s a very, very nice finding.”
researchers asked 295 online
participants to self-assess their
emotional states and to take a

randomly assigned the

cognitive states.

Killer whales sink three boats off the Iberian coast
‘Disruptive’ events may have been triggered by traumatic incident for a female orca, scientists say
BY B RYAN P IETSCH
A spate of encounters between
orcas and boats off the Iberian
coast has puzzled scientists and
sailors recently, as seemingly co-
ordinated ambushes by the killer
whales led to the sinking of three
vessels. The reason for the at-
tacks, according to one scientist
who has studied the phenom-
enon, may be revenge.
The leading theory is that a
female orca suffered a traumatic
incident with a boat — a “critical
moment of agony” — that caused
her to start attacking the vessels,
Alfredo López fernandez, a ma-
rine biologist at the University of
Aveiro in Portugal, told the in-
dustry publication Live Science.
The majority of the “disrup-
tive” interactions between orcas
and boats off the Iberian Penin-
sula in the past few years —
López fernandez said they num-
bered in the hundreds — have
been brief and caused minimal
physical damage to the vessels,
according to a report co-written
by López fernandez and pub-
lished in the journal marine
mammal Science. But on at least
three occasions, including one
incident this month involving a
sailing yacht, the orcas have sunk
the boats.
An orca leaps out of the water near a whale-watching boat off
Washington state’s San Juan islands.
The female orca, whom scien-
tists named White Gladis, ap-
pears to have taught the aggres-
sive behavior to other adult or-
cas, whose children have begun
imitating the behavior, López
fernandez said.
In most of the interactions, the
orcas strike the rudder or hull,
the underbody, of the boat, ac-
cording to the report, which in-
cluded interviews with sailors
elAine thompson/Ap
and other witnesses to the phe-
nomenon.
Aside from “some punctual
aversive incident” that may have
triggered the attacks, the report
said they may be caused by fac-
tors such as loss of prey or
disturbances by boats. other-
wise, the report said, it may be
because of the killer whales’ “nat-
ural curiosity.”
orcas are known to be ex-
tremely intelligent and capable
of teaching one another certain
behaviors, including actions that
could be interpreted as violent.
one episode in 2016 involving an
orca drowning another’s calf left
scientists “horrified” as they de-
scribed a “first of its kind” obser-
vation of orcas carrying out in-
fanticide, which has been docu-
mented in other species.
Another report published in
marine mammal Science docu-
mented orcas attacking, killing
and then eating blue whales.
Jeremy Goldbogen, a biologist
who studies whales at Stanford
University, told Stanford News
the coordinated killings were “ar-
guably one of the most dramatic
and intense predator-prey inter-
actions on the planet.” The phe-
nomenon “astounded” scientists,
one marine biologist told the
New York Times.
So what should be made of the
coordinated attacks on boats?
The report warned that if the
situation “continues or intensi-
fies, it could become a real con-
cern” for the safety of sailors but
also for the orcas, which are
endangered in the region, be-
cause they could harm them-
selves by attacking the boats or
be harmed by sailors trying to
protect their vessels.

Switzerland says it will ban tobacco product,
e-cigarette advertising that targets youths
BY J OHN R EVILL
Switzerland will ban advertis-
ing of tobacco products and
e-cigarettes aimed at young peo-
ple, the government said last
week, implementing a decision
passed in a referendum last year.
The government said it would
strengthen its already planned
restrictions to bar advertising in
places and media where young
people can see it.
The new laws will come into
force from mid-2026, and bolster
controls on packaging and adver-
tising on tobacco and e-cigarettes
due to take effect from next year.
The move, which will affect
print media, online advertising
and festivals, is designed to re-
duce tobacco consumption and
related deaths.
Smoking remains relatively
widespread in Switzerland with
9,500 people dying prematurely
every year as a result of tobacco
consumption, the government

“Tobacco use causes numerous
non-communicable diseases, and
the cost of their medical treat-
ment amounts to [$3.31 billion]
per year,” the government said.
“Tobacco advertising plays a
significant role in the decision to
start smoking,” it added.
In 2022, 6.9 percent of Swiss 11-
to 15-year-olds had smoked ciga-
rettes in the past 30 days, while
5.7 percent of youths ages 15 to 24
have used electronic cigarettes at
least once a month, the govern-
ment said.
In addition, sponsorship of
events that people under 18 at-

Online advertising will be still

systems are in place.

as civilians to receive HPV vaccine, study says is a problem with insulin, a

BY E RIN B LAKEMORE
Active-duty military and veter-
ans are twice as likely as civilians
to develop cancers associated
with human papillomavirus, or
HPV. Now, research shows they
are also half as likely to be vacci-
nated as those civilians — a dis-
parity experts say will lead to
preventable cancer deaths.
To estimate HPV vaccination
among veterans, researchers ana-
lyzed Veterans Health Adminis-
tration data on more than 128,000
veterans ages 18 to 26 who had at
least one primary care visit be-
tween 2018 and 2020, then com-
pared it with federal data on civil-
ians.
Just 30.2 percent of female and
18.7 percent of male veterans had
received the vaccine, compared
with 62.4 percent of civilian wom-
en and 37 percent of civilian men.
This year, another study showed
that among active-duty service
members, 37.8 percent of women
and 3.9 percent of men had re-
ceived at least one dose of the
three-dose vaccine series.
Vaccination was least common
among White male and Native
American female veterans, and
most common among Asian
American and Pacific Islander
veterans of both sexes. Veterans in
Wyoming, Oklahoma and Texas
were least likely to be vaccinated
against HPV.

that can lead to cancer, the re-
searchers write, the military
doesn’t require vaccination to
serve.
That’s a missed opportunity,
José P. Zevallos, chair of the oto-
laryngology department at the
University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center and the study’s senior au-
thor, suggests in a news release.
“Our findings should serve as a
call to action to the Department of
Defense and the Veterans Health
Administration to advocate that
their service members get vacci-
nated,” Zevallos said.
The Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention’s Advisory
Committee on Immunization
Practices recommends that chil-
dren and adults through age 26
get the HPV vaccine. The vaccine
reduces the risk of developing the
sexually transmitted infection —
the most common of its kind —
that is linked to anal, cervical,
vaginal and penile cancers.
Although the ideal time to re-
ceive the vaccination is before
becoming sexually active, adults
can “catch up” on vaccination. The
researchers recommend boosting
catch-up campaigns among veter-
ans to help prevent the disease
and save on treatment costs.

hormone produced by the
pancreas, which serves as a kind
of passport, allowing sugar to
travel from blood vessels into our
body’s cells.
In Type 1 diabetes, the
pancreas produces little to no
insulin, while in Type 2 diabetes,
the body stops responding to
insulin properly. In both types,
elevated blood sugar can damage
our bodies, leading to heart
disease, kidney problems, nerve
issues and even blindness.
Weight loss — even 5 to 10
percent — can improve blood
sugar levels and lessen the need
for medications for Type 2
diabetes. More radical lifestyle
changes — overhauling your diet
and exercising more — and
weight-loss (bariatric) surgery
can lower weight and lead to
reversal of Type 2 diabetes for
some people.
Type 1 diabetes, which is
caused by an autoimmune
response against part of the
pancreas, cannot be reversed —
although scientists are working
on a cure.
Testing for diabetes
Millions of Americans have
diabetes but haven’t yet been
diagnosed. A one-minute risk
tool (cdc.gov/prediabetes/
risktest) can help you determine
whether you should seek such
testing, or you can ask your
doctor about testing. Common
tests either check your blood
sugar directly (blood glucose) or
measure an average of your blood
sugar level over the past two to
three months (hemoglobin A1c).
Testing may show that you
have diabetes or prediabetes.
Prediabetes means you have
higher blood sugar than normal,
but not yet high enough for a
diabetes diagnosis. You should
think of it as the yellow in a
traffic light: There is a significant
risk of it progressing to diabetes
without changes to your lifestyle.
‘All hands on deck’ moment
Anytime one of my patients is
diagnosed with diabetes, I
consider it an “all hands on deck”
moment. Not just for our clinical
medicines are also prescribed,
particularly if the blood sugar is
very high. It may take some time
for you and your doctor to find
the best medicines to treat your
diabetes — and most patients
continue taking them for life.
A number of new medicines
for diabetes have come on the
market in recent years. Some
such as glucagon-like peptide 1-
based therapies (such as
semaglutide, liraglutide and
tirzepatide) lower blood sugar
but also slow digestion and help
with weight loss.
If you already have diabetes,
it’s worth speaking with your
doctor to make sure you are on
the best combination of
medicines. And it’s always worth
asking: “How might I safely get
off one or two of these drugs?”
Posing that question could be the
first step toward reversing your
diabetes.
Reversing Type 2 diabetes
We know that Type 2 diabetes
can be reversed. A study in the
United Kingdom, known as the
Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial
(DiRECT), showed that patients
could reduce blood sugar below
diabetic levels — with about a
third of patients sustaining that
control for at least two years,
without medication.
Study participants had to be
committed; initially, all diabetes
drugs were stopped and meals
were replaced with a strict 800-
calories-a-day diet that was
mostly healthy shakes. Then real
food was gradually reintroduced,
and patients were supported by
dietitians, nurses and tailored
workbooks to maintain their
weight loss.
If this sounds intense to you —
it is. But so is injecting yourself
with insulin every day. To me, the
most important lesson of the
DiRECT trial is how vital it is to
find a nutritional plan that you
can stick with for the long haul.
Anyone who has tried to lose
weight knows the toughest part
is keeping it off. My advice is to
think about what nutritional
changes you can sustain over
years, not weeks.
A Mediterranean diet has
perhaps the strongest long-term
scientific evidence supporting its
use in Type 2 diabetes. Plant-
based and vegetarian diets have
also been shown to be effective
for the prevention and treatment
of Type 2 diabetes. Low-
carbohydrate (including “keto”)
diets and intermittent fasting
have less scientific support but
work for some — those options
should be discussed with a
nutritionist or doctor.
Managing diabetes is its own
prevention
My father has had Type 2
diabetes for over 30 years, but he
has been able to control it and
hasn’t had to start insulin. He is
unlikely to reverse his diabetes at
this point, but there are still
immense benefits to managing
the disease well.
We focus on the “ABCs of
diabetes”: his A1c, or average
blood sugar, which we keep
below 7; his blood pressure; and
his cholesterol.
Keeping blood sugar at or near
the goal level helps protect the
eyes, kidneys and nerves. And
keeping blood pressure and
cholesterol levels under control
reduces the risk of heart attacks
and strokes.
My father is on medicines for
each of the ABCs, but we always
look for opportunities to pare
back on his pills through better
eating and more exercise.
Prevention is better than
reversal
I have a strong family history
of Type 2 diabetes — along with
my father, each of my four
grandparents also suffered from
it. The deck may be stacked
against some of us in this way,
but we can take steps to reduce
our risk of developing diabetes.
Eating more fruits and
vegetables and less meats, sweets
and refined grains (such as white
bread and pasta) is important.
It’s a myth that people concerned
about diabetes should avoid
fruit; eating whole fruit (rather
than juices or processed fruit) is
a good source of fiber, vitamins
and minerals.
Sugary drinks such as soda
and juice should be rare
indulgences, as should ultra-
processed foods such as starchy
snacks, chips and crackers, and
packaged food such as energy
bars. If you’re not sure whether
something is ultra-processed,
check the ingredients list: More
is not better. Shifting to whole
grains, like switching from white
rice to brown rice, also helps.
Personally, I am vegetarian
and started a version of
intermittent fasting a few years
ago, whereby I eat only between
the hours of noon and 9 p.m.
each day. I find it’s easier for me
to stick to time-based cutoffs,
and they have helped me reduce
unhealthy snacking.
Physical activity also matters
for how our body processes
sugar. Hitting the gym is great,
but walking, gardening and
dancing all count. If you have fun
while you’re exercising, it feels
like less of a chore, and you’re
more likely to keep doing it.
Some studies show that
combining strength training
with aerobic exercise lowers
diabetes risk more than either
alone.
The National Diabetes
Prevention Program, which is
offered by many organizations
such as YMCAs across the
country, has been scientifically
proved to help people adopt
healthful habits for nutrition and
exercise. Depending on your age,
weight and test results, your
doctor may also consider some
medications — such as
metformin or semaglutide — to
help stave off diabetes.
The benefits of preventing
diabetes are remarkable. Studies
estimate that a diagnosis of
diabetes at age 40 reduces life
expectancy by six years. An
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure — and a few
birthdays, too.

How to stay fit while aging
Track athletes in their 40s to 80s share their tips on exercising
BY KELYN SOONG
Staying active can be difficult as
we age. Priorities change, and in-
jury prevention and recovery
from exercise often get harder for
aging bodies.
masters athletes — those who
are 35 and older — offer a glimpse
into how we can stay fit while
aging. The Washington Post spoke
to masters athletes who competed
in last month’s Penn relays in
Philadelphia, the oldest and larg-
est track-and-field competition in
the United States.
Here’s their advice on how to
keep moving in your 40s, 50s and
beyond.
emphasize rest and recovery
An important part of masters
running is listening to your body.
When 78-year-old roger Pierce
was younger, he figured he could
train through injuries. Not any-
more.
“When you’re older, you have to
really be aware,” he said. “When
you have pain, you have to deal
with it; treat it, rest, don’t try to
run through it.”
Pierce, who is retired and lives
in rowley, mass., ran cross-coun-
try and track in high school and
was a sprinter at Northeastern
University in Boston. After about
15 years off from the sport, he
started running masters track at
39 and has set several age-group
world records.
“recovery is as important as
your training,” he said. “I’m okay

Study: Vitamins might
help slow memory loss
BY M ARLENE C IMONS
A daily multivitamin — an in-
expensive, over-the-counter nu-
tritional supplement — may help
slow memory loss in people 60
and older, a large nationwide clin-
ical trial suggests.
The research, a collaboration
between scientists at Brigham
and Women’s Hospital and Co-
lumbia University, appeared in
the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition last week.
It was the second such multivi-
tamin clinical study within the
Cocoa Supplement and multivi-
tamin outcomes Study (CoS-
moS) — a larger body of research
examining the health effects of
certain dietary supplements — to
reach the same conclusion.
The most recent study found
that those taking multivitamins
showed an estimated 3.1 fewer
years of memory loss compared
with a control group who took a
placebo. Put another way, the
multivitamin group was an esti-
mated 3.1 years “younger” in
terms of their memory function
than the placebo group.

for about a week during the
heat wave, he struggled to fall
asleep. The sleep deprivation left
him too tired to continue his daily
exercise routine. He and fellow
graduate students weren’t able to
focus on their work.

of all have dour outlook on things
because we weren’t sleeping as
well,” said obradovich, who is
now principal investigator at the
max Planck Institute for Human
Development. At the time, he was
studying for his PhD in political
science at the University of Cali-
fornia at San Diego.
maybe he was annoyed from
the scant slumber or just having
many wet towels around, but
obradovich decided to investi-
gate whether his heat-induced
cheap sleep was commonplace.
He wanted to put this thought to
bed, even if he couldn’t do so
himself.
His findings were nothing to
sleep on: Humans are already

ments, especially at the begin-
ning of the night. models predict

ple days off to recover.”
Charles Allie, a 75-year-old re-
tired shop teacher from Pitts-
burgh, agrees. The former Hamp-
ton University track athlete said
it’s important to understand your
body. “You have to do what works
for you,” he said. “You don’t have to
practice every day.”
Focus on injury prevention
To stave off injuries, several
masters runners incorporate oth-
er forms of movement into their
routine. Jen St. Jean, 48, of Darien,
Conn., does prehabilitation exer-
cises such as yoga, core exercises
and foam rolling. St. Jean, a track
alum of the University of massa-
chusetts at Amherst and former
professional runner for reebok,
also goes to a physical therapist
once a week.
A mother of two, St. Jean said
she started focusing on strength
and flexibility after undergoing a
hysterectomy about a decade ago.
“It opened up my mind that there
was more that needed to be done
than running every day,” she said.
Nathalie Jones, one of St. Jean’s
teammates on the Central Park
Track Club, uses weight training
as part of her injury-prevention
routine. “I finally got into it four
years ago, due to a torn meniscus,”
the 48-year-old manhattan resi-
dent said. “Leg curls, squats, ham-
string curls. I do a lot of weight
training of my glutes and my core.”
masters runners take their
warm-ups seriously because of the
explosive work required of some
track disciplines. for William
cerned about preserving cogni-
tion and memory, so this is a very
important finding,” said JoAnn
manson, chief of Brigham’s divi-
sion of preventive medicine and
co-leader of the study with How-
ard Sesso, associate director of
the division. “The fact that two
separate studies came to similar
conclusions is remarkable.”
manson, also a professor of
medicine at Harvard medical
School, described the effect of the
supplements as “substantial.”
She stressed, however, that a
dietary supplement “will never be
a substitute for a healthy diet and
a healthy lifestyle.”
The study used a commonly
available multivitamin — Cen-
trum Silver — but “we think any
high-quality multivitamin is like-
ly to convey similar results,” man-
son said. Centrum Silver contains
vitamins D, A and B12, thiamine,
riboflavin and manganese,
among other substances.
manson and Sesso reported
grants to their institution from
mars Edge, which is a unit of the
food company mars, and which
focuses on nutrition research and
produces the dietary supplement
as temperatures rise, especially in
lower-income and elderly com-
munities.
In his study looking at 47,000
adults in 68 countries, obra-
dovich and his colleagues found a
notable change in sleep duration
when nighttime temperatures
rose above 50 degrees (10 degrees
Celsius). on nights above 86 de-
grees, people slept about 14 min-
utes less on average.
over longer chunks of time, the
loss is stark: They estimate peo-
ple are already losing an average
of 44 hours of sleep per year —
and as the warming continues,
people will be hard-pressed to
find a good night’s rest.
Nights have warmed faster
than daytime temperatures in
many places around the globe. By
2100, individuals worldwide
could lose about 50 to 58 hours of
sleep per year.
“right now, we’re not perfectly
adapted to the climates in which
we live,” obradovich said. Hotter
temperatures “harm our sleep
kind of across the board, but that
relationship increases in steep-
ness. It becomes more significant
in size the hotter the temperature
gets.”
We often take sleep for grant-
ed, but not getting enough shut-
eye can increase our risk for many
serious health issues such as poor
mental health, obesity, heart
problems or even early death.

She finished third in the wom-

multivitamin use, however,
“did not significantly affect mem-
ory retention, executive function,
or novel object recognition” when
compared with placebo use, the
study showed.
The findings that multivitamin
use may help with memory and
cognition are especially impor-
tant because the brain, as all other
organs in the body, requires nutri-
ents for optimal functioning and
can suffer cognitively without
them, brain-health experts said.
“This study is groundbreak-
ing,” said Andrew Budson, profes-
sor of neurology at Boston Uni-
versity and chief of cognitive be-
havioral neurology at VA Boston
Healthcare System, who was not
involved in the research.
Low levels of vitamins B1 —
also known as thiamine — B12
and D are associated with cogni-
tive decline, he said. “That a sim-
ple multivitamin can slow cogni-
tive decline while they are aging
normally is quite exciting, as it is
something that almost everyone
can do,” Budson said.

slowing cognitive aging
The previous study, conducted
by Brigham and Women’s Hospi-
tal and scientists at Wake forest
University School of medicine,
appeared in the fall in the journal
Alzheimer’s & Dementia. It found
a 60 percent slowing of cognitive
aging among those who took mul-
tivitamins compared with the
placebo group.
The two studies were inde-
pendent of each other and had
different designs. But, signifi-
cantly, both were randomized pla-
cebo-controlled clinical trials, the
“gold standard” of research in
determining the efficacy of a drug
or medical treatment — directly
linking cause and effect.
Curiously, both studies suggest
that participants who derived the
greatest benefits may have been
those with a history of cardiovas-
cular disease, researchers said.
“It’s most intriguing because
this same finding was replicated
in two studies, with different de-
signs, and with no overlapping
participants,” manson said, spec-
ulating that those with heart dis-
ease may have had a lower nutri-
ent status at the start of the study.
“They may have started from a
elderly, probably because they
have more difficulty regulating
their body temperature. The
team also found warmer loca-
tions experienced the most sleep
loss, suggesting people’s bodies
haven’t adapted to their geo-
graphic location.
Lower-income countries are
also heavily affected, which obra-
dovich hypothesizes could be be-
cause of a lack of air-condition-
ing. But he plans to investigate
further.
Projections show global warm-
ing also will have the biggest
sleep loss in the middle East,
southeast Asia and Australia. By
the end of the 21st century, people
in the warmest regions are ex-
pected to lose an additional three
nights of sleep per year due to
higher nighttime temperatures.
While warming trends are neg-
atively affecting sleep, research
shows the story isn’t quite the
same with colder temperatures.
Kelton minor, co-author of the
sleep research with obradovich,
said our bodies are seemingly
better at adjusting to the cold
than excessive warmth.
“People appear to sleep more
when it is cold outside (control-
ling for seasonal differences in
day length, etc.),” minor, a post-
doctoral researcher at Columbia
University, said in an email. “our
study suggests that people may be
much better at adapting their
sleep to cold temperatures than
hot ones.”
But dozing off for too long is
also unhealthy, said Jerome Sie-
gel, a sleep researcher at the
University of California at Los
Angeles. He was not involved in

The oldest runner this year was
95-year-old Ed Cox, who finished
sixth out of seven runners in the
men’s 85 and older 100-meter

ner, 85-year-old Bob Williamson
of Lawrenceville, N.J., finished in

ments may have been more easily

In the overall CoSmoS trial,
which includes different studies,
there were lower rates of stomach
pain, diarrhea, skin rash and
bruising as side effects with mul-
tivitamin use compared with the
placebo, but an increased rate of
gastrointestinal bleeding.
Future research
The study population included
people of different races, ethnici-
ties, educational levels, socioeco-
nomic status and household in-
come. “However, as is the case for
volunteers in any randomized
clinical trials, the participants
tended to be slightly more educat-
ed, had slightly higher socioeco-
nomic status and had less diversi-
ty than a cross-section of U.S.
adults in these age groups,” man-
son said.
The researchers said future
studies should explore whether
the findings would be applicable
to even more diverse partici-
pants, including those with lower
education levels and social eco-
nomic status, because the “ben-
efits may turn out to be even
greater in populations with lower
incomes and poorer quality di-
ets,” manson said.
Additional studies also should
try to identify the nutrients that
provide the most benefits, as well
as the specific mechanisms in-
volved, the researchers said.
Control and Prevention says el-
derly adults should get seven to
nine hours of sleep.
overall, Siegel said the study’s
findings are not surprising and
are in line with his previous work,
which showed how temperature
regulates sleeping patterns dat-
ing back to hunter-gathering
communities in preindustrial
times.
He agreed that global warming
is going to disturb people’s sleep,
“but you can’t assume that they’re
not going to do anything about
that.”
obradovich said his team’s
findings could help communities
or policymakers better improve
the sleep environment for people,
such as helping to cool bedrooms
more effectively.
on an individual level, rob-
bins said people also need to
practice generally good sleep be-
havior.
for instance, reducing screen
time 15 to 20 minutes before
falling asleep as the blue lights
from cellphones or computers
can emulate the sun and throw
off our circadian rhythm. She
suggested meditation before bed
can drastically help people un-
wind and relax, making it easier
for people to fall asleep.
Another good practice: It’s im-
portant to have consistent bed-
times, she said, otherwise our
body can get confused on when
we’re supposed to be alert or
tired.
“There’s still kind of the linger-
ing belief that ‘I’ll sleep when I’m
dead’ kind of attitude toward
sleep,” robbins said. “There’s so
much work to be done to improve
our collective view of sleep.”

Black swimmers build community, guide next generation
SWIMMERS from E1
their parents are three times more
fearful of drowning than White
people, according to the USA
Swimming foundation, based on
a 2017 study conducted by the
University of memphis and the
University of Nevada at Las Vegas.
The fear is supported by grim
statistics: The rate of drownings is
50 percent higher for Black people
than White people, according to
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Even worse,
Black children between the ages
of 10 and 14 are nearly eight times
more likely to drown in swim-
ming pools than their White coun-
terparts.
At their biweekly practices,
Hale spends most of her time in
the shallow end of the pool, teach-
ing basic skills to recruits, some of
whom don’t know how to swim
when they join the team. She
holds their hands while they sub-
merge their faces in the water and
cradles them while they learn to
float on their backs. “If you teach
the eldest, they’ll teach the
young,” she insists, wrapping a
towel around her short-sleeved
wet suit.
The Honeys and Bears also hold
monthly meetings to share ideas
about how to spread the message
that swimming can be learned by
anyone, at any age. They find pur-
pose in trying to bridge the racial
gap that makes Black people of
their generation less likely to
swim than White seniors.
Team members say synchro-
nized swimming takes care of the
body and the mind, and being part
of a close-knit team is a way to
work out and socialize at the same
time. Their impressions are borne
out by research, which finds that
swimming offers a full-body
workout that’s easy on injured or
arthritic joints — a common prob-
lem for older people. It also
destresses and burns calories, and
it’s good for the heart.
The Honeys and Bears perform
at local pools, in other boroughs of
New York and even out of state.
Since the early 2000s, they have
also traveled as a team to race
individually during the state and
national Senior Games, always
sporting matching red sweatsuits.
Some use a cane or a walker to
access the pool deck, and some-
times employ a lift to slip into the
water. But once they float in what
they nickname their “fountain of
youth,” they feel more capable
than when on land.
The Honeys and Bears started
gathering at the “bathhouse,” an
old name for what is now called
the Hansborough recreation Cen-
ter, in 1979. over the years, the
team grew from a handful of swim-
mers to 35 members, most of them
women, today. In the mosaic-tiled
natatorium, they wore colorful
handmade costumes to celebrate
birthdays and even held a memo-
rable aquatic wedding in 2005.
It was their way, they say, of
reclaiming the swimming pool, a
place where many team members
did not feel welcome or comfort-
able for most of their lives. Some
migrated to Harlem from states
where interracial swimming was
not allowed until the Civil rights
Act outlawed segregation in public
spaces in 1964. others grew up in
New York, where pools were not
officially segregated, but “a de fac-

virus during the Bronze Age
(2,000 to 700 B.C.), “potentially
linked” to new cultural practices
“such as the advent of sexual-ro-
mantic kissing.”
New? Bronze Age? really?
“I said to Sophie that I knew we
had something older. And then I
started digging a bit into that,”
said Arboll, an assistant professor
of Assyriology at the University of
Copenhagen who studies ancient
accounts of medical diagnoses,
prescriptions and healing rituals.

in “Contested Waters: A Social His-
tory of Swimming Pools in Ameri-

“When I was a little girl, my
brother and I would go to the pool
on colored days,” explains rashee-
dah Ali, 87, a member of the team
who lived in Cincinnati before
moving to Harlem in 1967.
The Honeys and Bears refer to
Ali as the “historian” of the club
because she stores and annotates
numerous photographs of their
gatherings. “of course, we need to
remember our past,” she says. “But
we should also tell the story of
whom we became — a bunch of
joyful Black elders who thrive in
the water.”
Arboll had little trouble finding
accounts of kissing from mesopo-
tamia written in both the Sumeri-
an and Akkadian languages. He
and rasmussen also noted a cal-
cite sculpture in the British mu-
seum called the “Ain Sakhri Lov-
ers,” which was found in caves
near Bethlehem and is estimated
to be about 11,000 years old.
“It had been known for decades
in my field,” Arboll said of the
written accounts of kissing from
mesopotamia.
“The thing about Assyriolo-
gists,” rasmussen said, “is they like
to argue with each other, but they
don’t really talk to other people.”
That could explain why some
experts adopted India as the place
of the origin for kissing, though
Arboll has a different theory: “I
think one of the sources they cite
are manuals like the Kama Sutra,”
he said, referring to texts estimat-
ed to have been published be-
tween 2,400 and 1,700 years ago.
“That’s obviously very appealing
for discussing sexual behavior, I
imagine.”
In her 2011 book “The Science of
Kissing: What our Lips Are Tell-
ing Us,” Sheril Kirshenbaum re-
ported the earliest literary evi-
dence for human kissing “dated
back to India’s Vedic Sanskrit texts
around 1500 B.C.” But she’s con-
vinced the behavior goes back

“We see so many similar behav-
iors across the animal kingdom —
including in our closest relatives,
like bonobos,” she said. “I suspect
our species has been kissing for as
long as we’ve been on Earth.”
There may have been practical
reasons for humans to kiss, ras-
mussen said. “I came across re-
search suggesting that the pur-
pose of kissing, why it could have

evolved, is that it serves as an
opportunity to evaluate your part-
ner,” she said. “If you kiss some-
body with poor teeth, they tend to
have bad breath.”
Kissing may have allowed cou-
ples to bond and strengthen their
relationship. “And of course also
for sexual arousal,” rasmussen
said. “So when you want to mate
and pass on your genes, it’s very
convenient.”
Enjoying a romantic kiss out-
side the confines of marriage ap-
pears to have been frowned upon
by the mesopotamians. Arboll and
rasmussen came across the story
of a married woman “almost led
astray by a kiss from another
man.” Worse, kissing someone
who was not supposed to be sexu-
ally active, such as a priestess, they
write, “was said to deprive the
kisser of the ability to speak.”
Such prohibitions may have
had the unintended benefit of pro-
tecting the good health of the kiss-
deprived. The Danish researchers
point out kissing’s likely role in
spreading herpes simplex virus 1,
Epstein-Barr virus and human
parvovirus B19, which causes a
rash. Such pathogens, the authors
wrote, “can infect humans
through a range of different trans-
mission routes, including saliva,
making any act of kissing a poten-
tial means of spreading infection.”
To date, though, science has had
relatively little to say about kiss-
ing, said Kirshenbaum, an aca-
demic specialist at michigan State
University.
A scientific literature search for
“kiss” or “kissing” sends you
through funky territory before
you ever encounter two sets of lips.
Pubmed’s search engine begins
with the KISS1 gene and its prod-
uct kisspeptin, and proceeds to a
cellular process called kiss-and-
run. Google assumes that in seek-
ing the “earliest known kiss,” you

Born and raised in Harlem,
Gerterlyn Dozier, 89, remembers
swimming in the late 1930s at
what was then called Colonial
Park on 146th Street, instead of
the Thomas Jefferson pool on
111th Street, just a few blocks from
her building.
“If you had dark skin, it was too
dangerous for you to wander”
near the closer pool, she says,
because of hostile White neigh-
bors.
To deter the African Ameri-
cans and Puerto ricans who
lived in Lower Harlem from us-
ing the local pool, city Parks
Commissioner robert moses em-
ployed only White attendants
and lifeguards, Wiltse writes in
“Contested Waters.” According to
moses biographer robert Caro,
the parks commissioner kept
pool water unheated on the as-
sumption that cold water both-
ered swimmers of color more
than Whites.
The history of segregated
pools partly explains why Black
and Hispanic neighborhoods are
still underserved in their access
to swimming. following the de-
segregation of pools in the 1950s
and 1960s and even after the
Civil rights Act, White attend-
ance plummeted at municipal
pools, according to Wiltse, and
cities generally stopped building
large pools and let those already
constructed fall into disrepair,
widening a swimming education
gap between Whites and commu-
nities of color that still exists.
Thelma ruffin Thomas, 89, was
not allowed as a child to get more
than her feet wet when her par-
ents took her to orchard Beach in
the Bronx. Her mother “grew up
in the segregated South, she never
learned how to swim and was
fearful of the water,” Thomas says.
This unease could have been
passed down to more generations,
but the cycle stopped with Thom-
as. She started swimming in her
50s and won her first medal in
2014 at age 80.
All of her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren are comfort-
able in the water, and Thomas
insists on paying for their swim
classes.
When her 15-year-old great-
grandson announced that he
could tread water for five minutes,
Thomas decided to challenge her-
self before calling him back.
on a march day last year, the
Honeys and Bears’ coach, oliver
footé, helped Thomas position
her arms and interlace her fin-
gers, and she leaned over the
pool’s edge until she let go and
dove into nine-foot-deep water.
“It was the second dive of my
lifetime,” she says with a smile.
“The first one was almost 40
years ago. I had to do it to stay in
my swim class. This time, I did it
because I felt like it.”
most summers, the Honeys and
Bears teach water skills to the
Harlem community through a
youth program. They walk around
in the water with 6-year-old chil-
dren holding onto their necks.
They clap and sing while teen-
agers swim their first continuous
laps.
“We make it a party,” says Dozi-
er with a burst of youthful laugh-
ter. “Hopefully, our kids will feel
like they belong in this space and
this sport. And by the time the
next generation comes, the statis-
tics will have changed.”
all of us,” Kirshenbaum said, “yet
science has barely scratched the
surface of it.”
The human fascination with
kissing history comes as no sur-
prise to Laura Weyrich, an associ-
ate professor of anthropology at
Pennsylvania State University
who co-wrote one of the studies
cited by the Danish researchers.
Her paper, published in Nature in
2017, examined DNA from the den-
tal plaque of Neanderthals and
used it to infer information on
their behavior, diet and disease.
Weyrich’s study noted that hu-
mans and Neanderthals may have
traded microbes, which could
have happened through the shar-
ing of food or water sources — or
through kissing.
In some interviews about the Ne-
anderthal paper, Weyrich dis-
pensed with the term “kissing” in
favor of the more earthy alternative,
swapping spit, and “biologically, it
really is swapping spit,” she said.
Never let it be said that scien-
tists lack romance.
There is some debate among re-
searchers about whether kissing be-
gan in one place and spread or had
“numerous independent origins,”
as Arboll and rasmussen write.
“my hunch is that kissing arose
or was discovered amongst elite in
complex societies (hierarchal,
market systems with writing) and
diffused outward,” William
Jankowiak, a professor of anthro-
pology at the University of Nevada
at Las Vegas, wrote in an email.
The practice of kissing, he said,
was in keeping with “the elite pur-
suit of pleasure.”

The human brain is unique in the known universe
and is the only brain that can reason. It reached
its present incredible complexity 200,000 years
ago after millions of years of evolution. It contains
a hundred billion neuron cells that contribute to a
hundred trillion circuits connecting all parts of the
brain. This network consists of microscopic nerve
fibers crisscrossing in all directions (see below). The
Each neuron cell has 10,000 branches. Dead cells are not replaced.
CHRONIC TRAUMATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY (CTE)
Non-penetrating blows to the head cause a rapid
forward or backward movement and shaking of the
brain inside the bony skull that results in swelling
and tearing of microscopic nerve connections.
Symptoms indicative of serious injury (CTE)
include headache, dizziness, psychiatric disorders,
fatigue, apathy, decreased motivation, changes In
eating or sleep habits, emotional lability, changes
with speech and personal relationships. Loss of
consciousness even very brief and not remembered
is a hallmark sign of concussion. Symptoms that
do not always occur after each hit are referred
to as a subconcussive injuries. In soccer these
asymptomatic cumulative blows can give the player
a false sense of security with immediate return
to the game. This could set the stage for future
dementia. Boxers with CTE referred to as “punch
drunk syndrome” may remain asymptomatic

steel wire fence. When the ball hit the barrier it kept
shaking. Beginners learn heading by starting with
an underinflated soccer ball, or a foam ball. This
helps the child overcome their natural inherent fear
of hitting their head. Soccer balls Size 4 (medium
size) are for ages 8-11, and larger size 5 balls are
for ages 12 and above. At practice the ball is tossed
lightly to build the child’s confidence, remembering
to keep practice sessions short to prevent
headaches. Heading is often limited to children
over age 11. Those 11-13 year old are limited to a few
headers per day with no more than 30 minutes
of heading practice a day. They average about 12
headings per game. Some coaches recommend no
parent or friend should ever teach heading or throw
at the child’s head” and also state that “heading is
not inherently dangerous and is actually fun and
makes the game most appealing”. I don’t agree. In
practice sessions children hit the ball back-and-
forth to each other and are warned to inform the

injuries are becoming an acceptable practice in

and monetary compensation players are willing
to take risks and play with pain. Sadly, cheering
spectators encourage this risky behavior. Pain

physicians or illegally on the street with opioids
(oxycodone) and fentanyl. Fentanyl is the driver
of drug overdose deaths and accounts for 80%
of opioid related deaths. There is a crisis of drug
addiction which is the number one cause of death
in this country (105,000 last year) in people under
age fifty. Modeling predicts this to increase to half
million deaths in the next decade. According to the
