BY R ACHEL S IEGEL
Inflation eased further in May,
but some of the most persistent
price increases slamming the
budgets of families and business-
es look like they could stick
around for a while still.
The fight to tame prices has
come a long way since last year,
when inflation peaked at 40-year
highs, reaching 9.1 percent on a
year-over-year basis in June 2022.
As the Federal Reserve struggled
to rein in prices, experts feared
that the central bank would have
to move so aggressively to slow the
economy that it would cause a
recession.
But the latest snapshot shows a
different picture 4 even if it is not
one of pure success. A report Tues-
day from the Bureau of Labor
statistics showed that inflation
eased for the 11th straight month
in May. Prices rose 4 percent in
comparison with a year earlier,
the smallest 12-month increase
since March 2021 and an improve-
ment from the 4.9 percent annual
rate in April. Prices also rose
0.1 percent in May over the previ-
ous month.
But look a little more closely,
and the report offers less comfort.
<Core inflation,= a narrower meas-
ure that strips out more-volatile
categories, such as food and en-
ergy, is not letting up. That raises
the risk that some underlying
sources of inflation are becoming a
permanent feature of the economy
and could require the Fed to push
harder to vanquish high prices.

tion is: Where is it going? Where

Donald Trump boards his plane Tuesday after his arraignment in miami on federal charges related to keeping classified documents.
Arraignment met with showmanship
in an attempt to upstage the charges
BY I SAAC A RNSDORF
AND J OSH D AWSEY
BeDMinSTer, n.J. 4 Former
president Donald Trump faced
down the most serious threat to
his personal liberty and political
future like just another day on
the campaign trail 4 waving to
fans, giving a thumbs up, swing-
ing by a storied eatery, soliciting
donations and planning a spirit-
ed speech to supporters at one of
his properties.
The almost celebratory display
on Tuesday, clashing with the
more typical sobriety of court
proceedings, highlighted
Trump9s instinct to face down
federal charges with the same
bluster he marshaled against pre-
vious threats to his business and
candidacy, and to project
strength for his supporters, con-
structing an alternate reality
where he is not in deepening
legal jeopardy.
<He9s scared s---less,= said John
Kelly, his former chief of staff.
<This is the way he compensates
for that. He gives people the ap-
pearance he doesn9t care by doing
this. For the first time in his life, it
looks like he9s being held account-
able. Up until this point in his life,

ing in a historic court case that
could alter the country9s political
and legal landscape.
<We most certainly enter a plea
of not guilty,= Trump9s lawyer Todd
Blanche said at the arraignment
in a small but packed courtroom,
where Trump sat at the defense
table scowling and with his arms
folded for much of the hearing.
Flanked by two of his lawyers,
Blanche and Christopher Kise, the
former president listened impas-
sively as U.s. Magistrate Judge

Trump did not speak except to
whisper to Blanche, seated to his
right, and Kise on his left.
Blanche objected to the judge9s
proposal, saying that Nauta and a
number of witnesses are members
of Trump9s staff or security detail
who rely on him for their liveli-
hood. The facts of the case,
Blanche said, revolve around <ev-

Service academy diversity efforts hang on high court ruling
BY N ICK A NDERSON
The nation9s military service acade-
mies now enroll far more people of
color than they did at the turn of the
century, as administrators seek future
officers who will reflect the diversity of
the forces they will lead and the country
they defend.
The share of cadets at the U.s.
Military Academy in West Point, N.Y.,
who identify with a racial or ethnic
minority group ramped up from 20 per-
cent in 2000, according to federal
education data, to 36 percent in 2021.
That minority share of midshipmen at
the U.s. Naval Academy in Annapolis,
Md., rose in that time from 19 percent to
37 percent. similar trends held at the
Air Force and Coast Guard academies.
But the supreme Court could soon
prohibit what the Biden administration
calls a vital element of this transforma-
tion: a policy allowing colleges to con-
sider race in the selection of an entering
class. The court is weighing whether to
ban race-conscious admissions in cases
involving Harvard University and the
University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. A ruling is expected within a few
days or weeks.
More than 30 prominent retired
generals and admirals argue in an
amicus brief the court should uphold
the race-conscious policies. Just as di-
versity matters on college campuses,
they say, it matters within military

BY S AMANTHA S CHMIDT

anDriiVka, Ukraine 4 The men of
Ukraine9s 37th Brigade were freshly
trained and armed with Western-
supplied weapons, tasked with an ini-
tial push through Russian-occupied ter-
ritory in the early days of a long-awaited
counteroffensive.
They would pay a heavy price.
Within 20 minutes of their June 5
advance south of Velyka Novosilka, in
the southeast Donetsk region, mortar
shells exploded all around them, sol-
diers said. A 30-year-old soldier known
as Lumberjack saw two of the men in his
vehicle bleeding heavily; one lost an
arm as he cried out for his family.
Lumberjack crawled into a crater, but
the shrapnel went through the soil and
pierced his shoulder.
<We were left there in the field,
without tanks or heavy armor,= said
Lumberjack, who spoke to The Wash-
ington Post on the condition that he be
identified only by his call sign because
he was not authorized to discuss the
battle. <We were shelled with mortars
from three sides. We couldn9t do any-
thing.=
There were fewer than 50 men in the
unit, he said, and 30 did not return 4
they were killed, wounded or captured
by the enemy. Five of the unit9s armored
vehicles were destroyed within the first
hour.

RETROPOLIS
Flag slithers its way back, with Confederate links
BY L AURA B RODIE
On April 18, 1861, six days after
the opening shots of the Civil War,
the Philadelphia Inquirer de-
scribed a <great sensation= in Bos-
ton.
A <strange craft= had appeared
in the harbor: a merchant vessel
from Georgia that flew <a white
flag, having on it the emblem of a
rattlesnake, with the motto un-
derneath 8Don9t tread on Me!9 and
also below this fifteen stars, rep-
resenting the fifteen slave States.=
The ship came from Savannah,
where secessionists had em-
braced multiple variations on
Christopher Gadsden9s Colonial
flag after the election of Abraham
Lincoln, eager to promote their
cause as a second American Revo-
lution. Stories about Savannah9s
political rallies and <Don9t Tread=
flag had been reported in newspa-
pers nationwide, so when a ship
with a version of it appeared in
Boston, a large and angry crowd
assembled.
According to the Inquirer, as
soon as the ship9s captain saw the
mob, he lowered his flag and
hoisted the Stars and Stripes, at
which point < 8The Rattlesnake9
was eagerly seized and trampled
upon by the multitude, and then
torn completely to tatters.=
The episode comes from a
chapter that9s usually overlooked
in the history of the Gadsden flag,
which has reemerged as a provoc-
ative anti-government symbol.
Republican lawmakers from the
tea party movement claimed the
flag in their fight against federal
overreach. Far-right extremists
carried it in Charlottesville and at
the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Today, <Don9t Tread on Me= li-
cense plates are available from
Virginia to Florida to Arizona,
with Iowa this year proposing one
of its own.
Little is said, though, about the
Gadsden flag9s ties to the Confed-
erates, who embraced it in their
own fight against federal authori-
ty. From 1860 to 1862, the battle
over Gadsden symbols resembled
modern meme wars. Ultimately,
the Union sacrificed Gadsden9s
rattler 4 because Confederates
had irreparably tainted it.
Gadsden, a Continental con-
gressman and brigadier general
from South Carolina, designed his
defiant yellow flag in 1775 as a nod
to Ben Franklin9s <Join, or Die=
political cartoon, which present-
ed the American colonies as a
segmented rattlesnake. Gadsden
became permanently associated

RETROPOLIS
At Medgar Evers9s home, a testament to price he paid
BY D E N EEN L . B ROWN
JACKsON, Miss. 4 The violent
threats against civil rights leader
Medgar Evers from white su-
premacists in Mississippi were
escalating in 1963. The phone at
the family9s home in Jackson rang
off the hook with hate. Racists
had thrown a firebomb through
the living room window.
Evers, a fast-rising civil rights
leader in Mississippi, had led a
successful economic boycott
against White businesses in Jack-
son that refused equal service to
Black people. He had gone under-
cover in overalls to investigate
the lynching of Emmett Till.
Evers had just given a televised
speech on civil rights. But this
was Mississippi, and he knew
that his work could get him
killed.
So did his wife, Myrlie.
<I knew each and every day
when he walked out of these
doors, we might not see him
again,= Myrlie Evers-Williams, 90,
told The Washington Post this
month, during an interview at
that family home in Jackson.
On June 12, 1963, a white su-
premacist assassinated Evers in
the driveway. He was 37.
Monday9s 60th anniversary of
Evers9s assassination comes as
hate crimes have increased in the
United States, school districts
ban books on racism and state
legislatures outlaw the teaching
of <critical race theory.= Evers-
Williams, who herself became a
force for civil rights, wants to
preserve her late husband9s lega-
cy 4 and impress upon the coun-
try that his work for justice is not
done.
<I truly believe there are still
problems in terms of race rela-
tions,= she said. <As I move around
the country, and I do quite a bit, I
see the ugliness of it undercover.=
More than ugliness:
<It is an evil. Evil has a way of
staying around. Evil has a way of
disguising itself, which means
those of us have to be watchful, in
the best way possible, to work
with each other to see that evil
does not rise again.=
She presses the lace tablecloth
on the dining room table in the
three-bedroom, one-story ram-
bler. The walls here are painted
pale green, the living room win-
dow framed by family photos, a
black piano and white sheer cur-
tains. Behind her, there are velvet
blue sofas and props from the
film <Ghosts of Mississippi,=
based on the events leading to the
final trial of her husband9s assas-
sin.
Over her left shoulder is a
black-and-white photograph
taped to the wall. It9s one the
police took that night in 1963. It
shows the hole from the bullet
that pierced the outside wall of
the house and the kitchen wall
and left a dent in the refrigerator.
The house, once filled with

happened.

children. When he was about 12
years old, Evers witnessed a Black

Reverses Trump-era
move to revoke permits
for people from 4 nations
BY M ARIA S ACCHETTI
The Biden administration said
Tuesday that it will allow thou-
sands of immigrants from El Sal-
vador, Honduras, Nicaragua and
Nepal living in the United States
on temporary status to renew
their work permits for 18 months,
reversing a Trump-era directive
that sought to revoke the human-
itarian protections.
Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas said his deci-
sion preserves protections for
more than 330,000 people from
the four countries, granting them
permission to live and work in
the United States into 2025.
The announcement came as a
relief for immigrants in the Unit-
ed States under a federal designa-
tion called <temporary protected
status.= Others were disappoint-
ed that the protections remain
limited to immigrants who ar-
rived in the country years ago.
They had hoped the Biden ad-
ministration would issue a fresh
designation to include more-re-
cent arrivals.

where the lynching happened
each day.
When Evers was 17, he enlisted
in the Army, fighting in France
and Germany in World War II,
then returned to Mississippi.
When he and his brother Charles
attempted to vote in Decatur, a
White mob blocked them at gun-
point.
In 1948, Evers enrolled in Al-
corn Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College, where he majored in
business administration, was on
the debate team, played football,
ran track and became editor of
the campus newspaper and year-
book. He met fellow student Myr-
lie Louise Beasley on her first day.
They married in 1951 and after
graduating moved to Mound Bay-
ou, a historically Black town in
Mississippi, where Evers worked
as an agent for a Black-owned
insurance company, selling pol-
icies to sharecroppers. He saw
firsthand the poverty and despair

Mississippi Delta, and organized

An assassination,
and a long search for justice
It was just after midnight on
June 12, 1963, when Evers pulled
his Oldsmobile into the house9s
driveway, just outside the side
door where Evers-Williams was
sitting 60 years later. He had with
him a stack of sweatshirts declar-
ing <Jim Crow Must Go.=
But Evers broke his routine
that night: He parked behind his
wife9s vehicle, not under the car-
port, perhaps tired after attend-
ing late meetings. He got out of
the car on the driver9s side. A
White man, who had hid several
yards away in a honeysuckle
bush, raised a high-caliber rifle
and fired.

Civil liberties groups sued in
2018, alleging that the Trump
administration9s moves to re-

and motivated by racism in viola-

advocates and temporarily
blocked the terminations.
A 9th Circuit appeals court
overturned that decision 2-1 in

the presidential election, but the
terminations did not take effect
immediately.
After President Biden took of-

The plaintiffs asked the appeals

Twice in 1964, all-White juries

prosecutors reopened the case,
based on evidence published in
the Clarion-Ledger newspaper
that a secretive, pro-segregation
state agency had helped De La
Beckwith9s attorneys screen ju-
rors at trial.
On Feb. 5, 1994, more than 30
years after Evers9s murder, De La
Beckwith was found guilty of it.
He was sentenced to life in pris-

The rifle he used to kill Medgar

ments attributed to Myrlie, who
continued his work.
Only hours after Evers9s mur-
der, Evers-Williams had gathered
the fortitude to lead a mass meet-
ing at Pearl Street AME Church in
Jackson, rallying the crowd to
continue the fight. She traveled
the country thereafter giving
speeches on civil rights. A year
after the murder, she moved with
her children to California, where
she eventually ran for Congress
and became a commissioner of
public works for Los Angeles.
In 1976, she married another
civil rights activist, the late Wal-
ter Williams. The next year, she
was elected chair of the NAACP.
In 2013, Evers-Williams be-

grants from those countries could
apply for TPS. But the adminis-
tration, which has struggled with
record numbers of apprehen-
sions at the southern border and
low approval ratings for Biden9s
immigration policies, did not ex-
pand the program for those coun-
tries.
Immigrants with the tempo-
rary status are eligible for work
permits, Social Security cards
and state driver9s licenses, but the
status does not lead to citizen-

themselves in careers such as
health care and construction,
own homes and are raising U.S.

José Palma, a TPS holder from
El Salvador and spokesman for
the National TPS Alliance, an
advocacy organization, said
Biden should have acted earlier
to grant the protections.
<He should have done the right
thing and restored Temporary
Protected Status (TPS) for our

office, but instead we endured
two years of uncertainty while we
battled in courts, demonstrated

Palma said in a statement. <We
have made this country our

The Biden administration had
extended temporary protected
status to approximately 670,000
people from 16 countries as of

Hundreds of pounds of seized fentanyl and methamphetamine in Tijuana, Mexico, last year.
A classiûcation conundrum
BY D AVID O VALLE
AND R ACHEL R OUBEIN
Federal authorities in 2018 tem-
porarily placed all substances re-
lated to fentanyl in a category
reserved for the most dangerous
controlled substances, an effort to
stymie drug traffickers. Five years
later, the number of overdose
deaths linked to synthetic opioids
is as high as ever, and critics warn
that efforts to make the classifica-
tion permanent will entrench
harsh sentencing laws.
With frustration mounting
about the toll of fentanyl, the de-
bate has sparked clashing political
approaches. On Tuesday, Sen.
Cory Booker (D-N.J.) introduced
legislation extending the tempo-
rary measure for up to two years
for existing fentanyl-related sub-
stances and for up to four years
when new analogues emerge. The
measure would give time to com-
plete the bill9s required scientific
evaluation of fentanyl9s chemical
cousins, allowing for the classifi-
cation to be changed or removed if
the substances are less dangerous
or have no potential to be abused.
Booker9s legislation contrasts
with the Republican-backed Halt
Fentanyl Act, which passed the
House with bipartisan support in
May and would make the classifi-
cation permanent.
<Placing fentanyl analogues on
the list of scheduled substances
without corresponding efforts to
address the root causes of the opi-
oid epidemic isn9t turning the tide
of the crisis because as long as
there9s demand and money to be
made, cartels will continue to pro-
duce these drugs,= Booker said in a
statement, pointing to his legisla-
tion as the path forward.
On the other side, Republican
state attorneys general are urging
the Senate to permanently place
all chemical substances related to
fentanyl in the most restricted cat-
egory, aiming to bolster law en-
forcement9s ability to crack down
on an array of deadly synthetic
opioids 4 and substances that
may emerge. It9s unclear whether
the Senate will take up the Halt
Fentanyl Act.
If the measure doesn9t pass, le-
gal experts say, drug dealers won9t
exactly be getting a pass 4 author-
ities can still use a decades-old law
that allows for the prosecution of
dealers who traffic in analogues
that are similar to dangerous
drugs. Similarly, many states have
laws criminalizing drugs with the
same effects as fentanyl.
<The government already has
plenty of tools in its toolbox to
address fentanyl analogues,= said
Liz Komar, an attorney for the
Sentencing Project, a D.C. non-
profit that advocates for more hu-
mane sentences and opposes the
Halt Fentanyl Act. <We know
harsher sentences are not the an-
swer to stopping overdoses.=
The friction over the bill re-
flects wider frustrations about
fentanyl and related opioids,
which have largely displaced pain
pills and heroin as catalysts of the
country9s overdose death crisis.
Fentanyl remains a political flash
point, with Republicans blaming
President Biden for failing to se-
cure the southern border from
drugs smuggled by Mexican car-
tels.
In a June 1 letter, 23 Republican
attorneys general urged Senate
Majority Leader Charles E. Schu-
mer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)
to make permanent the tempo-
rary designation of all fentanyl-re-
lated substances, which is set to
expire at the end of 2024.
Making the measure perma-
nent would put drug cartels and
traffickers <on notice,= they wrote,
saying <this national catastrophe
requires a serious federal solu-
tion.=
The measure passed 289-133 in
the House with support from 74
Democrats, many considered

Amid overdose crisis,
disputes grow over how
to place fentanyl cousins
moderates or from swing districts
that could respond negatively to a
vote against a bill aimed at curb-
ing fentanyl analogues. Biden
gave a nod of support for two of
the bill9s key provisions, which
seemed to give cover to vulnerable
House Democrats to vote yes. But
the legislation could face an uphill
battle in the Democratic-
controlled Senate. Schumer9s of-
fice didn9t say whether the Senate
would take up the legislation.
This month, Schumer em-
braced the possibility of increased
funding to address the drug crisis.
During debate on the debt ceiling,
he said the deal to stave off a
government default doesn9t affect
the chamber9s ability to appropri-
ate emergency and supplemental
funds for a host of issues, such as
combating fentanyl.
Illicit fentanyl 4 concocted
first in clandestine labs in China
and now Mexico 4 has flooded
U.S. streets, as have the drug9s
chemical cousins, compounds
similar in molecular structure and
often just as deadly, if not more so.

described as a perpetual game of
whack-a-mole, underground
chemists tweak the compounds to
try to stay ahead of the law.
Over the years, the Drug En-
forcement Administration has
classified as Schedule I 4 the high-
est level 4 many analogues with
names such as acetyl fentanyl, pa-
ra-fluorofentanyl and valeryl fen-
tanyl. Carfentanil, a Schedule II
substance found in the illicit drug
supply, is notorious for its poten-
cy: up to 100 times stronger than
fentanyl and intended to be used
as an elephant tranquilizer.
The DEA categorizes drugs into
five <schedules,= taking into ac-
count the risk of abuse and their
value as medical treatment.
Schedule I includes heroin, LSD
and ecstasy, drugs deemed to have
no acceptable medical use and
prone to abuse. (Marijuana re-
mains Schedule I, even though
roughly two dozen states have le-
galized it). Fentanyl is classified as
Schedule II 4 a category that in-
cludes cocaine and methamphet-
amine 4 because doctors can pre-
scribe legal fentanyl as a painkill-
er.
Classifying drugs is cumber-
some and time-consuming and in-
volves various agencies. In 2018,
as the nation9s overdose crisis es-
calated to unprecedented heights,
the Trump administration tempo-
rarily placed all fentanyl-related
substances in the Schedule I cat-
egory. The DEA9s acting adminis-
trator at the time said that action
would ensure federal agents and
prosecutors could take <swift and
necessary= action against drug
traffickers poisoning communi-
ties.
Still, overdose deaths contin-
ued rising 4 along with the flow of
synthetic opioids into the country.
The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention estimates more
than 109,000 Americans died of
overdoses in 2022, edging the rec-
ord from the year before. Synthet-
ic opioids are blamed for roughly
69 percent of that total.
<If the intention is to mitigate
the harms of illicit fentanyl and
put a dent in the overdose num-
bers, that hasn9t happened with
the class-wide scheduling,= said
Maritza Perez Medina, director of
federal affairs for the nonprofit
Drug Policy Alliance, which advo-
cates for reforming drug laws and
joined dozens of organizations in
opposing the legislation.
Supporters of the Halt Fentanyl
Act cast it as a race against the
clock. At the time the House bill
passed, Rep. Kelly Armstrong
eZ re A5
salWan georges/the Washington Post
(R-N.D.) said that without the law,
many fentanyl-related substances
could be legal, and that law en-
forcement <could lose the authori-
ty they need to seize these ex-
tremely lethal drugs.=
In a statement of administra-
tion policy, the White House
didn9t explicitly say whether
Biden would sign the Republican-
led bill. The Biden administration
issued recommendations to Con-
gress earlier that included perma-
nently classifying analogues in the
highest category while pushing
other policies, such as excluding
these substances from mandatory
penalties except in cases of death
or serious bodily harm.
The minimum sentence for a
first-time offense of trafficking 10
grams of a fentanyl analogue is
five years, which the Drug Policy
Alliance contends would apply
even if only a trace amount is
found in the overall mixture.
As with the mandatory mini-
mums meted out in the 1980s and
1990s, critics say prison sentences
will disproportionally affect peo-
ple of color. According to U.S. Sen-
tencing Commission data re-
leased in May, nearly 56 percent of
fentanyl analogue trafficking of-
fenders were Black, and about 26
percent Hispanic.
Stories about fentanyl ana-
logues abound. There was the San
Jose police union executive ac-
cused of importing valeryl fenta-
nyl from overseas, and there was
the deadly mix of a type of fentanyl
and other drugs that killed actor
Michael K. Williams.
Typically, cases involving fenta-
nyl analogues are charged along-
side other Schedule I drugs, ac-
cording to a 2021 Government Ac-
countability Office report. Accord-
ing to the sentencing commission,
the number of fentanyl analogue
cases has increased more than 208
percent since 2018. Still, in fiscal
year 2022, only 145 analogue of-
fenders were charged 4 a small
fraction of federal drug cases. And
most of the analogues in these
cases involved substances that
have already been classified by the
DEA.
State prosecutors use local laws
to target dealers of fentanyl ana-
logues, such as the group busted in
Columbus, Ohio, in 2021 for sell-
ing four kilograms of fentanyl and
para-fluorofentanyl to undercov-
er investigators. Records show the
ringleader got six to eight years in
state prison for trafficking in a
<fentanyl-related compound= un-
der Ohio law.
If federal prosecutors charge
someone for dealing in a fentanyl
analogue that has yet to be classi-
fied, they can turn to the Con-
trolled Substance Analogue En-
forcement Act of 1986, which re-
quires they prove the substance
was <intended for human con-
sumption= and is <substantially
similar= to a scheduled one. That
might require prosecutors to call
to the witness stand pharmacolo-
gists or chemists to explain how
an unlisted drug is, effectively, as
deadly as fentanyl.
The Republican attorneys gen-
eral cast the law as too complex,
given the possibility of disputes
between experts. Others disagree,
saying prosecutors should be re-
quired to take the steps in court to
prove that an unclassified ana-
logue is dangerous.
The House-passed legislation
has raised alarms from scientists
who say it falsely assumes that
thousands of fentanyl-related
substances are dangerous, mak-
ing them difficult to test and study
as controlled substances. Some
substances could be future fenta-
nyl antidotes, said West Virginia
University chemistry professor
Gregory Dudley, who joined more
than 40 researchers in opposing
the legislation in a letter to House
leaders.
<They could lead to better medi-
cines, addiction therapies, and
overdose interventions,= he wrote.

<It9s a key aspect in creating a

West Point from 2013 to 2018,
who joined the brief. <It makes

At the Naval Academy in the
fall of 2021, about 13 percent of
midshipmen were Latino, 10 per-
cent multiracial, 8 percent of
Asian descent and 6 percent
Black or African American.
<Everyone just kind of gets

son Hainze, 22, of Seattle said late
last month at the academy9s
spring commencement just be-
fore he was commissioned an
ensign.
Hainze, who is Chinese Ameri-
can, said he appreciates the acad-
emy9s push for racial and ethnic
diversity. <The fact that we are
moving in the right direction is
very important to me,= he said.
midshipman Lewis Gray, 22, of
Jupiter, fla., was heading soon to
assignment as a second lieuten-
ant in the marine Corps. With
parents of Jamaican and British
background, Gray identifies as
biracial and said he <always felt at

whether the academy was diverse

Within the military communi-
ty, there is much debate about
methods of obtaining racial di-
versity. A group called Veterans
for fairness and merit, which
said it represents hundreds of
veterans from enlisted and officer
ranks, argues that there is no
rationale for race-conscious ad-
missions at the academies.

Biden, NATO chief meet at turbulent time for the alliance
U.S. emphasizes pledge
to coalition as pivotal
summit approaches
BY M ATT V ISER
AND M ISSY R YAN
President Biden met with
NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg on Tuesday afternoon
as a host of challenges confront
the allied group, reiterating
America9s commitment to protect
NATO countries that neighbor
Russia at a time when Moscow9s
aggression is on stark display in
Ukraine.
The meeting, held in the Oval
Office, paved the way for a NATO
summit in Lithuania next month
where the alliance9s 31 member
states will face a range of thorny
issues. Consensus remains elusive
on questions including what se-
curity guarantees to offer
Ukraine, whether Sweden should
be granted membership and who
will lead NATO when Stoltenberg
steps down later this year.
At the start of Tuesday9s meet-
ing, Biden stressed the United
States9 commitment to defending
any NATO country if any part of it
comes under attack, a sentiment
increasingly important to the
eastern allies from Poland to the
Baltics.
<We9ve strengthened NATO9s
eastern flank, made it clear we9ll
defend every inch of NATO terri-
tory,= Biden said. <At our summit
in Lithuania next month, we9re
going to be building on that mo-
mentum.=
Stoltenberg thanked the Unit-
ed States for a new package of
military aid to Ukraine an-
nounced earlier in the day and
said Ukraine9s current counterof-
fensive, aimed at expelling Rus-
sian forces from its territory, is
<making progress.=
He added: <The more land the
Ukrainians are able to liberate,
the stronger hand they will have
at the negotiating table.=
The meeting took place as a
number of issues threaten the
cohesion of the alliance, making
the next month critical for build-
ing consensus ahead of the July
11-12 summit in the Lithuanian

White House on Tuesday. Among discussions were the fights for membership by Ukraine and Sweden.
capital of Vilnius.
<This is going to be the most
challenging [summit] in recent
history,= said Douglas Lute, a re-
tired U.S. Army lieutenant gener-
al who served as U.S. ambassador
to NATO from 2013 through 2017.
<You9ve got everything from war
to leadership succession here.
This will be a summit worth
watching.=
Ukraine9s potential NATO
membership is one of the major
flash points, since Kyiv urgently
wants to become part of the alli-
ance but most diplomats believe it
currently lacks the necessary po-
litical, social and military stabili-
ty.
Most of NATO9s members sup-
port 15-year-old language saying
that Ukraine will eventually be-
come a member. But Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky
has been asking for a formal invi-
tation to initiate the process, a
move certain to be seen as highly
provocative by Russia.
<That [issue] is the one that is
likely to be most debated between
now and Vilnius, because there
are differences in the alliance,=
said Ivo Daalder, a former U.S.
ambassador to NATO who is cur-
rently president of the Chicago
Council on Global Affairs.
Some countries, largely those
in Eastern Europe, would like
NATO to issue the formal invita-
tion as a sign of welcoming
Ukraine even if the country is
unable to join for some time. Oth-
ers, though, worry about drawing
Europe more directly into mili-
tary confrontation with Moscow
and favor a more modest commit
to recurring economic and mili-
tary assistance to Ukraine.
<They aren9t willing to consider
membership until after the war is
over,= said Daalder, who served
from 2009 to 2013. <As long as
Ukraine is in a state of war, mem-
bership becomes almost automat-
ically joining that state of war.
And some members are not will-
ing to do that.=
To date, Biden has been firm
about maintaining the status quo,
reiterating that Ukraine will be-
come part of the alliance even-
tually but declining to make any
formal moves in that direction for
the time being.
<We9re not taking a position
one way or another,= John Kirby, a

<This is going to be the
most challenging
[summit] in recent
history. You9ve got
everything from war
to leadership
succession here.=
Douglas Lute, a former U.S.
ambassador to NATO
spokesman for the National Secu-
rity Council, said ahead of the
Biden-Stoltenberg meeting. <I
think you know that at Bucharest
there was a declaration that made
very clear that NATO should be in
Ukraine9s future at some point in
the future. Nothing has changed
about that.=
At a 2008 NATO summit in
Bucharest, Romania, the member
states declared that Ukraine, as
well as the nearby country of
Georgia, <will become members
of NATO.=
Meanwhile, Secretary of State
Antony Blinken said Tuesday he
expects NATO will commit to a
<robust package= of political and
practical support for Ukraine at
next month9s summit.
Blinken made the remarks
ahead of his meeting at the State
Department with Stoltenberg,
who praised the United States for
its support for Ukraine while in-
sisting that <European allies are
also doing their part= by provid-
ing tens of billions of dollars.
The race to replace Stoltenberg
has heated up in recent weeks as
the end of his term approaches in
October. While the process for
selecting the NATO chief job is
based on informal consultations
among all member states, the
views of the United States, which
possesses by far the alliance9s big-
gest military, hold particular
weight.
Diplomats from NATO nations
have said that officials including
Danish Prime Minister Mette
Frederiksen, British Defense Sec-
retary Ben Wallace, Dutch Prime
Minister Mark Rutte and Spanish
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez are
among the contenders.
For Britain, holding the NATO
secretary general position would
be a way to keep a high profile in
the transatlantic alliance follow-
ing its withdrawal from the Euro-
pean Union, a move that signifi-
cantly diminished its influence.
<I know some people have won-
dered what kind of partner Brit-
ain would be after we left the E.U.
I9d say, judge us by our actions,=
British Prime Minister Rishi Su-
nak said when he visited the
White House last week. <We9re
committed to our values as ever,
as reliable an ally as ever.=
He also noted pointedly that
<the U.K. is proud to be, behind
the U.S., the biggest contributor
to the military effort in Ukraine.=
But many NATO watchers be-
lieve that Wallace is an unlikely
choice, as smaller nations and
those on Europe9s eastern flank
press for the role. Asked during
Sunak9s visit whether it was time
to have a British secretary gener-
al, Biden demurred.
<Maybe 4 that remains to be
seen,= he said. <We9re going to
have to get a consensus within
A7
NATO to see that happen. They
have a candidate who9s a very
qualified individual. But we9re go-
ing to have a lot of discussion, not
between us, but in NATO, to de-
termine what the outcome of that
will be.=
Meanwhile, momentum has
gathered behind the candidacy of
Frederiksen, who also visited the
White House recently and whom
Stoltenberg has described as <one
of the most competent prime
ministers in Europe.=
Frederiksen checks several
boxes, including the possibility of
becoming NATO9s first female
leader. But Scandinavian coun-
tries have held the office for more
than a decade, and newer mem-
bers along NATO9s eastern flank
are demanding consideration.
Frederiksen9s candidacy could
be complicated by the fact that
Denmark falls short of a NATO
agreement that each member
should spend at least 2 percent of
its gross domestic product on de-
fense.
The Danish government com-
mitted last year to hitting that
benchmark by the end of 2030,
and earlier this year, it allocated
an additional $5.65 billion to up-
grade its armed forces.
Sunak made a point of noting
during his White House visit that
Britain already meets the 2 per-
cent threshold.
Another option would be for
Stoltenberg to stay on for another
year. The former Norwegian
prime minister, who took the job
in 2014, has already seen his ten-
ure extended three times due to
the war on Ukraine, and he has
signaled he is not interested in
another extension.
Kirby, when asked whether
Biden plans to ask Stoltenberg to
stay on, said, <I9m not going to get
ahead of the president9s decision-
making.=
<We9re grateful for Secretary
General Stoltenberg9s leader-
ship,= Kirby said. <Now, he9s got-
ten extended three times, and he9s
led the Alliance at a very, very
critical time, not least of which,
even without the war in Ukraine,
it would be a critical time. Cer-
tainly in that context, he9s just
done a superb job.=

McCarthy strikes deal with rebelling GOP group for now

BY M ARIANNA S OTOMAYOR
AND L EIGH A NN C ALDWELL
House Republicans have tem-
porarily overcome an impasse
after roughly a dozen far-right
lawmakers defied their leader-
ship and blocked a key procedur-
al hurdle that effectively froze
the House floor from considering
any business for almost a week.
The 11 far-right Republicans
who bucked their party last week
joined their colleagues Tuesday
in reopening the floor and de-
bate on five pieces of legislation,
including a key demand by the
group on a resolution denounc-
ing a Biden administration gun
regulation.
But the agreement does not
free House Speaker Kevin Mc-
Carthy (R-Calif.) from the
group9s ongoing demands, and
members vowed to continue to
hold him accountable in the
upcoming appropriations proc-
ess. They also wanted assurance
that they will be part of the
negotiating process for bills as
often as their more moderate
colleagues are and that leader-
ship will not rely on Democrats
to pass any legislation.
The standoff stemmed from
the hard right9s commitment to
dramatically reducing the debt,
which is sitting at about $31 tril-
lion. Those lawmakers want
deeper spending cuts and are
angry that the agreement
reached late last month with
President Biden to lift the debt
limit to prevent default would do
little to narrow the spending gap
and would suspend the limit
until 2025, removing an effective
pressure point to force Demo-
crats to reduce spending.
There is also a deep-seated
irritation with Republican lead-
ers, who relied on Democratic
votes to pass the debt limit deal.
The 11 members of the far-right
group, many of whom belong to
the staunchly conservative
House Freedom Caucus, blocked
a procedural hurdle that would
have set up parameters to debate
and pass messaging bills last
week, in a move to force GOP
leaders to the negotiating table.
The group said McCarthy had
violated an agreement made
with them in January to elect
him House speaker.
The hurdle, known as a rule,
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) walks to open the House floor in May. McCarthy reached a temporary agreement Monday
evening with the 11 far-right Republicans who last week blocked a key procedural vote, though they said negotiations would continue.
has historically been passed with
only the majority party9s votes,
including by those who would
vote against a bill during final
passage. Republicans balked that
Democrats had to bail them out
to pass the rule vote on the debt
ceiling and that almost 20 more
Democrats voted to pass the final

McCarthy supposedly made a
number of bargains with far-
right members to win the speak-
er9s gavel, but none of those
alleged deals were written down
and released publicly, leading to
a game of he-said, he-said when
it came to broken promises.
McCarthy and several of the
protesting members emerged af-
ter an hour-long meeting Mon-
day evening to announce that a
temporary agreement that had
been reached, though negotia-

tions would continue to ensure
the hard right does not try to
block rule votes again. Neither
group said whether a final set of
promises would be publicly re-
leased.
<I think there9s a willingness.
That doesn9t mean it9s all locked
together,= McCarthy said after
announcing that the House will
postpone scheduled votes one
more day. <I think everybody9s
attitude was, how do we find it
when we all work together? And
we know [when] we work togeth-
er, we work on conservative
issues, we9re winning, and we get
more victories that way. And I
think everybody wants to get
back to that place.=
Later Monday night, in a clear
indication that McCarthy is at-
tempting to appease the far-right
rebels, a top McCarthy lieuten-
ant announced that both defense
and domestic spending bills
would be written with deeper
spending cuts at levels they de-
manded.
An announcement by Rep. Kay
Granger (R-Tex.), chair of the
House Appropriations Commit-
tee, said she would write funding
bills at fiscal 2022 levels for new
spending for both defense and
nondefense discretionary spend-
ing, levels much lower than the
slight increase to fiscal 2023
levels agreed to with the White
House in the debt limit negotia-
tions.
That is a significant conces-
sion that is sure to get fierce
pushback from House Demo-
crats. It also will make it much
more difficult to come to an
agreement to fund the govern-
ment with the Senate, where
Republicans will probably reject
cuts to defense spending and
Democrats have bristled at even
minor domestic spending reduc-
tions.
Another possible concession

two days.
Frustration among the rest of
the conference at the small
group of disrupters erupted
Tuesday morning behind closed
doors at the weekly Republican
conference meeting. In addition
to being angry at the House
being brought to a standstill,
members were upset about not
knowing what concessions and
promises were made between
the group and McCarthy since
January.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-
Wis.) stood and gave a passion-
ate, expletive-laced plea for his
colleagues to put their heads
down and get to work instead of
holding hostage the House floor
if their demands aren9t met. The
freshman congressman said he
comes to work every day even
though his daughter is suffering
from cancer.
<Van Orden spoke for 95 per-
cent of us, minus the cuss words,=
said one lawmaker in the room
who spoke on the condition of
anonymity to discuss a private
his far-right colleagues. <The
power of the conference resides
in the fact that we have a majori-
ty. The majority was delivered by
people in swing districts, people
who represent areas Joe Biden
won. [The hard right] didn9t
deliver the majority.=
The far-right members used
their first opportunity to sink a
rule vote last week 4 that pre-
vented debate on conservative
priorities, including preserving
gas stove use 4 as a signal that
they should not be ignored in the
future or that leaders should not
rely solely on Democrats to enact
their agenda. Any five GOP law-
makers could prevent a vote
from passing through their ra-
zor-thin majority.
<We reiterated to Speaker Mc-
Carthy that he is our preferred
coalition partner. But we want to
be his preferred coalition part-
ner, and it cannot abide that we
are the coalition partner on the
frivolous and [House Minority
Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)]
is the coalition partner on the
substantive,= said Rep. Matt
Gaetz (R-Fla.), who never sup-
ported McCarthy for speaker.
The temporary agreement al-
lowed far-right lawmakers to
support a rule vote Tuesday that
includes parameters for debate
on four votes scheduled last
week and one on a resolution by
Rep. Andrew S. Clyde (R-Ga.)
against limitations to use pistol
braces. Clyde accused Scalise of
threatening to withhold a floor
vote on his resolution unless he
voted in support of the debt limit
bill, which infuriated fellow
Freedom Caucus members.
Scalise has repeatedly denied
that he threatened Clyde, instead
saying that he told him that his
measure did not have enough
support from within the GOP
conference to be scheduled on
the floor. Both worked together
through last week, alongside co-
sponsor Rep. Richard Hudson
(R-N.C.), to whip colleagues to
ensure the bill could immedi-
ately pass. The resolution ulti-
mately passed Tuesday, 219-210,
with two Republicans voting
against and others, including
vulnerable incumbent Rep. Mi-
chael Lawler (R-N.Y.), waiting
until the final moment before
casting their vote in support of
the measure. Two Democrats vot-
ed in support.
Its inclusion in the rule vote
Tuesday was a major reason the
House resumed voting this week.

Ruling could make it easier for gig workers to unionize
Labor board broadens
factors for determining
employment status
BY L AUREN K AORI G URLEY
The National Labor Relations
Board issued a new ruling Tues-
day that makes it easier for Uber
and Lyft drivers, construction
workers, home health aides and
strippers to organize and join
unions.
Existing labor law extends the
right to unionize only to workers
with employee status, excluding
independent contractors. Tues-
day9s board ruling broadens the
factors considered in the federal
government9s test for determin-
ing a worker9s status as an inde-
pendent contractor or an em-
ployee.
<Applying this clear standard
will ensure that workers who seek
to organize or exercise their
rights under the National Labor
Relations Act are not improperly
excluded from its protections,=
NLRB Chair Lauren McFerran
said in a statement.
The reversal of a 2019 indepen-
dent-contractor decision could

Delivery workers in NYC to get almost $20 hourly minimum wage by 2025
BY E LI T AN
New York will become the first
U.S. city to implement a mini-
mum wage for food delivery
workers, as much as tripling the
current earnings of the city9s
roughly 60,000 drivers.
Starting July 12, companies
like Uber Eats and DoorDash will
be required to pay delivery work-
ers at least $17.96 an hour, a sharp
increase from their current aver-
age hourly rate of $7.09, neither
including tips. The new rule, an-
nounced Monday by New York
Mayor Eric Adams (D) and the
New York City Department of
Consumer and Worker Protec-
tion, also calls for an increase to
$19.96 an hour in 2025.

About 16 percent of Americans
have earned income in the gig
economy, according to a 2021 Pew
research study.
In a 3-1 vote, Democratic board
members sided against the Atlan-
ta Opera, which has said that its
hair and makeup stylists who are
seeking to unionize are not em-
ployees but independent contrac-
tors. The NLRB ruled that the hair
stylists are employees with union
rights under the National Labor
Relations Act, an about-face from
the standard set in 2019.
The board will now return to a
2014 framework for determining
worker classification, rejecting a
Trump-era test that elevated a
worker9s <entrepreneurial oppor-
tunity= as the key factor in deter-
mining a worker9s employment
status. The board9s new frame-
work takes into account a variety
of factors, including the extent of
employer control over working
conditions and whether a worker
is being supervised.
The new rule could affect work-
ers in a variety of sectors, from
long-haul truck drivers to con-
struction workers, who are often
classified as independent con-
tractors and denied the right to
form unions and organize to im-
prove working conditions.

the policy, which has been in the
works for the past two years.
DoorDash, which has the largest
share of the U.S. food delivery
market by multiple estimates,
says it9s considering suing the city
to stop the new minimum wage
from being implemented.

The stakes are particularly
high for workers in the app-based
city-mandated minimum wages
by designating them as independ-
ent contractors instead of em-
ployees. In 2019, DoorDash
changed its tipping model after it
was revealed that tips given to
drivers were being used to subsi-
dize their wages.
The new minimum wage policy
still leaves much to be desired in
the arena of app-worker protec-
tions, said Justice For App Work-
ers, a coalition that represents
120,000 delivery and ride-hailing
workers across New York and
Illinois. Most notably, the coali-
tion is seeking protections
against companies like Uber Eats

gig economy. High-profile com-
panies such as Uber, Lyft and
Instacart have poured tens of
millions of dollars into ensuring
that their workers remain classi-
fied as independent contractors.
The decision could also be ap-
pealed in a federal court, where
its survival would be uncertain.
The GOP-dominated labor
board ruled in 2019 that Uber
drivers are independent contrac-
tors and are not granted union
protections under the National
Labor Relations Act. That deci-
sion could now be overturned if
Uber drivers try to unionize
again.
Uber and Lyft did not immedi-
ately respond to a request for
comment.
The Labor Department is also
separately considering a new rule
that would make it more likely for
millions of workers, including
those in the gig economy, to be
classified as employees rather
than independent contractors.
That move would be separate
from the NLRB decision.
That proposed rule could re-
quire companies that employ gig
workers to provide basic benefits
and protections, such as the mini-
mum wage, overtime pay, and
contributions to Social Security
and unemployment insurance,
that they currently do not receive.
<Workers like using these apps
because it gives them flexibility to
log on when they want and work
when they want,= said Aadhya
Shivakumar, a spokesperson for
the coalition. <And the way that
the city designed this raise, deliv-
ery apps could take away that
flexibility with lockouts, taking
away the appeal and the way a lot
of our workers make money.=
Shivakurmar added that Jus-
tice For App Workers met last
month with ride-hailing drivers
and delivery workers in Chicago
to discuss better protections and
worker safety, but that talks with
Illinois politicians about imple-
menting changes like the new

Trump employees might be affect-
ed by the restriction, the judge
instructed the prosecution team
to provide a list.
Trump finished signing the
bond paperwork about 3:30 p.m.,
after it appeared it had to be
returned to the defense table
twice because he and his lawyers
didn9t sign or initial every line
needed. <Third time9s a charm,=
Goodman said.
Both Trump and Nauta were
named in a 38-count indictment
that was unsealed friday, setting
the stage for a high-stakes public
trial in which prosecutors will
allege that the 45th president
risked national security by stash-
ing secret papers in a bathroom, a
ballroom and his bedroom,
among other places, months after
leaving the White House.
on Tuesday, wearing a dark suit
and red tie, Trump arrived at the
federal courthouse from his Doral
resort shortly before 2 p.m. A few
hundred people, most of them
Trump supporters, had gathered
and were waving flags and chant-
ing. Within 15 minutes, he was
processed by the U.S. marshals
Service, which included taking his
fingerprints with a digital scan-
ner.
The first former U.S. president
to stand accused of federal crimes,
Trump could be sentenced to
years in prison if found guilty. He
publicly attacked special counsel
Jack Smith, who is leading the
investigation, in the hours before
his court appearance, calling the
veteran prosecutor a <thug= and a
<lunatic= in social media posts.
Smith, who was tapped by Attor-
ney General merrick Garland in
November, sat in the courtroom
on Tuesday but did not speak at
the hearing.
Trump, who is again seeking
the republican presidential nom-
ination, faces the remarkable
prospect of sitting at a defendant9s
table for federal and state trials
that may overlap with the presi-
dential primaries or nominating
conventions. He was arraigned in
April in state court in New York
City on fraud charges stemming
from a 2016 hush money payment.
He is also under investigation in
Georgia9s fulton County, where
the district attorney is weighing
whether to charge Trump and his
supporters with crimes related to
their efforts to undo Joe Biden9s
2020 presidential victory.
Separately, Smith, the special
counsel, is also conducting a fed-
eral investigation into the events
surrounding the 2020 election re-
sults and the riot at the U.S. Capi-
tol on Jan. 6, 2021.

legal setback Tuesday when a fed-
eral judge in manhattan ruled
that writer E. Jean Carroll could
add new defamation claims to a
lawsuit she has filed against him.
Carroll recently won a $5 million
judgment against Trump in a dif-
ferent lawsuit in New York, after a
jury found Trump sexually abused
her decades ago and 4 last year 4
defamed her.
Even during his arraignment,
Trump9s legal strategy continued
to be primarily political: A fund-
raising email from his campaign
landed while he was inside the
courthouse, vowing he would nev-
er drop out of the 2024 race. <They
can indict me, they can arrest me,
but I know & that I am an inno-
cent man,= Trump wrote in the
appeal for money. And he tried as
much as possible to turn the po-
tential humiliation of a criminal
court date into a publicity tour,
staging a surprise campaign stop
in miami at a popular Cuban res-
taurant and scheduling an eve-
ning speech in New Jersey, where
he again claimed that the docu-
ments were his.
After Trump entered the court-
house, one of his lawyers spoke to
reporters gathered outside.

repeatedly referred to Trump as

attorneys referred to him as <Pres-

called Trump <the defendant.=
Nauta did not enter a plea,
because he did not have a local
florida lawyer to represent him.
An arraignment for him was
scheduled for June 27.
There was no discussion during
the 45-minute court hearing of
when, or where, Trump must next
appear in court.
Nauta served in the White
House before and during Trump9s
presidency and then followed him
to mar-a-Lago, the former presi-

conspiring with Trump to hide

Trump faces 31 counts of willful
retention of national defense in-
formation. Each count represents

months earlier.
The secret papers the fBI re-
covered from mar-a-Lago includ-
ed one about the <nuclear weap-
onry of the United States= and
another describing the <nuclear
capabilities of a foreign country,=
according to the indictment.
The charging document accus-
es Trump of talking about and
showing others some of the classi-
fied papers. It offers only broad
descriptions of the documents he
allegedly withheld: a White
House intelligence briefing from
2018, communications with a for-
eign leader, documents concern-
ing operations against U.S. forces
and others from January and
march 2020, and military activi-
ties and attacks by foreign coun-
tries.
Trump was not charged with
mishandling any of the 197 classi-
fied documents that he returned
to the National Archives and rec-
ords Administration in early
2022, an indication that if the
former president had simply
handed over all classified materi-
al when he was subpoenaed, he
might not have been indicted at
all.

CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS INDICTMENT

Day in court is treated like another stop on campaign trail

TruMp from A1

held accountable before.=

Trump, who pleaded not guilty
in miami on Tuesday to charges
that he broke the law by keeping
and hiding top secret documents
in his florida home, is just begin-
ning the fight of his life, after
decades of close brushes with the
justice system. Yet in contrast to
his self-evident gloom on the day
of his last arraignment 4 in New
York, on state charges arising
from a hush-money scheme be-
fore the 2016 election 4 on Tues-
day, Trump and his campaign
were determined to project a
more upbeat shade of defiance.
Trump has wanted to show,
according to his advisers, that he
is ready to fight 4 instead of
looking downtrodden and glum
4 as he appeared in court Tues-
day. The advisers, who like others
spoke on the condition of ano-
nymity to describe private inter-
actions, have said in the past that
few things bother him as much as
news accounts of his surly mercu-
rial moods and occasional vol-
canic temper.
<It9s fine,= Trump said when
asked about his mood in a right-
wing radio interview on the eve of
his arraignment.
<You sound like you9re in great
spirits,= the host, Howie Carr,
concluded.
<I am,= Trump said. <I9m just
fighting for the country.=

Under the Espionage Act, does Trump9s motive regarding ûles matter?
BY A ARON B LAKE
on monday, we noted how it
appears that a chief GoP defense
of Donald Trump in the face of
Espionage Act charges for alleg-
edly withholding sensitive docu-
ments will be that he wasn9t
literally engaged in spying.
Sens. Lindsey o. Graham
(r-S.C.) and mike Lee (r-Utah)
plus fox News host mark Levin
and the Wall Street Journal edi-
torial board all advanced a ver-
sion of that argument. Soon, Sen.
marco rubio (r-fla.) joined in,
telling CBS News: <There9s no
allegation that there was harm
done to the national security.
There9s no allegation that he sold
it to a foreign power or that it was
trafficked to somebody else or
that anybody got access to it.=
This is surely going to be a
feature of the GoP9s public de-
fense of Trump, in the service of
downplaying the indictment. But
what about his actual legal de-
fense?
Experts generally agree that it
doesn9t apply.
Some Trump allies have point-
ed to case law supposedly show-
ing that the government might
need to prove not only that
Trump willfully retained the doc-
uments when the government
came calling, but also that he did
so with intent to injure the
United States. They9ve pointed to
a 2006 case, United States v.
Rosen, in which a judge required
the government to show that to
prove its Espionage Act case.
But that case involved some
unusual dynamics. And experts
say the text of the statute and
plenty of other case law indicate
the government only needs to
demonstrate Trump9s intent was
to withhold documents that he
understood to be sensitive
enough to injure the United
States 4 not actual intent to
injure the United States.
The section of the Espionage
Act at issue is 18 U.S.C. § 793(e).
This makes it a crime to have
<unauthorized possession of, ac-
cess to, or control over [informa-
tion] . . . the possessor has reason
to believe could be used to the
injury of the United States or to
the advantage of any foreign
nation,= and to <willfully= retain
it while failing <to deliver it to the
officer or employee of the United
States entitled to receive it.=
The question here is what is
the required mens rea, i.e., men-
tal state, for Trump to have
broken the law.
As a report from the Congres-
sional research Service last
month noted, some provisions of
the Espionage Act (a through c)
require <intent or reason to be-
lieve= that the national defensive
information involved <is to be
used to the injury of the United
States, or to the advantage of any
foreign nation.= But the particu-
lar provision at issue in the
Trump case only requires the
defendant to act <willfully= and
with <reason to believe= the in-
formation <could= be used in
such a manner.
Northwestern University law
professor Heidi Kitrosser, who
has written on Trump and the
Espionage Act, said it9s clear that
reason to believe the information
will be used to cause injury need
not be proved.
<for tangible items like docu-
ments, 793(e)9s only reference to
mens rea is that the retention or
conveyance be 8willful.9 Courts
have interpreted this only to
mean that 8the defendant know-
ingly did an act which the law
forbids,9 = she said, citing United
States v. Morrison. <There is no
requirement to show that the
defendant intended to harm the
United States.=
She added, <This is why the
Espionage Act covers much,
much more than traditional espi-
onage.=
Kitrosser cited a 2018 district
court case, United States v. Mar-
tin, in which the court dealt
specifically with 793(e). It con-
cluded, <Proof that the defendant
knew he was wrongfully retain-
ing the mass of stolen documents
is sufficient to satisfy the Govern-
ment9s willfulness mens rea obli-
gation under § 793(e).=
<It doesn9t mean that he had to
intend to harm the United States
or advantage a foreign country,=
said Dennis fitzpatrick, a former
national security prosecutor who
has prosecuted Espionage Act
cases.
<If you could prove that, you
wouldn9t be in Section 793; you9d
be in Section 794,= fitzpatrick
added, referring to more serious
espionage charges that carry pos-
sible sentences that include
death.
Some legal experts are critical
of the Espionage Act for includ-
ing conduct that comes up well
shy of traditional espionage.
Among them is University of
Houston law professor Emily
Berman. She wrote a piece for
Bloomberg Law this week argu-
ing that Trump shouldn9t be
charged under the Espionage Act
because it is <overbroad and
ambiguous.= She noted it could
be used to tar people with the
e-word.
But Berman also told The
Washington Post that the govern-
ment need not show Trump acted
with intent to injure.
<The question is willfulness of
the retention,= Berman said.
<motive is irrelevant.=
Berman also referenced Rosen,
the case in which the govern-
ment required a heightened
standard of mens rea under
793(d) and (e). But the court was
clear that this applied only be-
cause the information was intan-
gible (i.e., passed along via word
of mouth).
<finally, with respect only to
intangible information, the gov-
ernment must prove that the
defendant had a reason to be-
lieve that the disclosure of the
information could harm the
United States or aid a foreign
nation, which the Supreme Court
has interpreted as a requirement
of bad faith,= the court ruled.
of course, as that case showed,
different circumstances can lead
to varying interpretations of the
legal requirements. And much
will initially be at the discretion
of the judge in this case, who
remains Trump-nominated U.S.
District Judge Aileen m. Cannon.
She previously sided with Trump
in a controversial way that was
later overturned by a higher
court, complete with a rather
thorough rebuke that said she
<abused= her discretion.
But for now, it seems that the
government only needs to prove
Trump knew this information
could damage the United States,
which the government set about
doing by including in the indict-
ment his past comments about
the sanctity of classified docu-
ments.

Be an Ally.
In an emergency, deaf and hard of hearing people cannot simply call 911. Instead they call an
interpreter through a video relay service (VRS) who connects them with a 911 dispatcher and
relays the emergency and the caller9s whereabouts.

E911, an enhanced service that can geolocate a caller, allows emergency responders to ûnd and
reach 911 callers faster. However, those calling through VRS cannot be located through E911 3 a
feature that is especially crucial in public and multi-story buildings.

Another gross inequity: needing to have two phone numbers, one for texting and a second to
make and receive calls.

Hard to imagine, right?

But for deaf and hard of hearing people
this is today9s harsh reality.

In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act was supposed to deliver equal telecommunications
access to deaf people. Thirty-three years later, it has not.

As FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel so aptly once said: <The future belongs to the
connected. No matter who you are or where you live in this country, you need access to modern
communications to have a fair shot at 21st century success.=

The gaps are wide but easy to ûx.

As a nation, we are better than this.

The Federal Communications Commission has the power to change this. With proper investment
the FCC can solve these inequities and bring true functional equivalence to the deaf and hard of
hearing community.

But what has been happening?

Service provider rates have stagnated for the last six years, a cut of 23 percent given record-high
inûation, leaving providers to struggle to meet even minimum standards established decades
ago.

The result?

We have a nationwide staïng shortage in American Sign Language interpreters due to low pay.
We have stiûed industry-wide innovation. America has a disconnected deaf community at a clear
disadvantage when it comes to life and career opportunities.

Why should you care?

You can help create a world where communications access is no longer a privilege enjoyed by
some but a human right fully appreciated by all.

3 killed in knife attacks in English city of Nottingham
Police also link suspect

LONDON 4 Three people were
killed in the central English city

Police Chief Constable Kate

they believed that a van later
used to injure others was stolen
from the older victim, Meynell
added.
Police <are keeping an open

Police were called to a residen-
tial area near the city center just
after 4 a.m., and <two people

they said in a statement. Police
said another person, a man, was
found dead on a road about two

British woman is sentenced to prison for abortion beyond legal time limit
Mother of 3 used drugs

BY R ACHEL P ANNETT
Reproductive rights groups are
calling for legislative changes
after a British woman was sen-
tenced to prison for terminating a
pregnancy beyond the legal time
limit using drugs she obtained in
the mail.
Carla Foster, a 44-year-old
mother of three, was given a 28-
month sentence, with the judge
ordering that she should be incar-
cerated for 14 months, with the
rest to be served on probation.
Ahead of the sentencing Mon-

Death toll from cult

The number of people who
died after a Kenyan pastor
allegedly ordered his followers to
starve to death to meet Jesus has
surpassed 300, authorities said
Tuesday, and the death toll is
expected to rise as more

The toll increased to 303 after

Some antiabortion activists,
meanwhile, have called for an end
to the at-home use of abortion
pills.
Foster received the abortion
medication under a program in-
troduced by the British govern-
ment during the pandemic that
allowed women to administer the
drugs at home without an in-
person consultation.
The program was approved for
pregnancies of up to 10 weeks. But
a British court found that Foster
gave the British Pregnancy Advi-
sory Service9s telemedicine pro-
vider <false= information that she
was about seven weeks pregnant.
Her internet search history on
the day she administered the first
of two abortion drugs suggested
she believed she was about
28 weeks along, the judge said at
the sentencing hearing Monday.
Two days later, on May 11, 2020,
she took a second drug and deliv-
ered a stillborn baby that evening.
A postmortem examination con-
cluded that Foster was 32 to 34
weeks pregnant.

it as a <tragic case,= noting that

At the time of the termination,
Foster had been forced to move

While he recognized her <emo-

22 U.S. troops hurt in helicopter 8hard landing9 in Syria

MH-47 Chinook had
issue with rotor during
takeoff, Pentagon says
BY A DELA S ULIMAN
At least 22 U.S. troops were
injured in a helicopter accident
in northeast Syria over the week-
end, in what the Pentagon on
Tuesday characterized as a <hard
landing.=
The MH-47 Chinook, a trans-
port aircraft used by U.S. Special
Operations forces for nighttime
raids and other sensitive mis-
sions, experienced a problem
with one of its rotors during
takeoff, said Sabrina Singh, a
Defense Department spokes-
woman.
U.S. Central Command, which
oversees military activity in Syria
and elsewhere in the Middle
East, said in a separate state-
ment released late Monday that
the incident <resulted in injuries
of various degrees,= with 10 per-
sonnel requiring medical evacu-
ation to <higher care facilities=
outside the war-torn country.
Singh said all of those injured
are in stable condition.
The accident9s cause is under
investigation, although the state-
ment noted that <no enemy fire
was reported.=
Violence has devastated Syria
for more than a decade, with a
brutal civil war forcing millions
of refugees to flee and causing
political turmoil in the region. In
2014, a U.S.-led coalition battled
the Islamic State militant group,
known as ISIS, and largely extin-
guished its self-declared caliph-
ate, which took over swaths of
Iraq and Syria.
The counterterrorism mission
there endures, though. U.S. mili-
tary officials said in a news
release earlier this month that
American and partner forces
conducted 38 operations against
the Islamic State in Iraq and
Syria in May alone. Eight ISIS
<operatives= were killed as a
result, and 31 were detained,
officials said.
The past three U.S. adminis-
trations have maintained a small
contingent of U.S. troops in Syria
4 about 900 at any given time,
augmented by hundreds more
contractors 4 to prevent a resur-
gence by ISIS militants in the

Meanwhile, intelligence offi-
cials and leaked classified docu-
ments have shown that Iran may
be arming militants in Syria for a
new phase of lethal attacks
against U.S. troops in the coun-
try, The Washington Post report-
ed this month.
Such attacks could constitute
an escalation of Tehran9s long-
running campaign of using proxy
militias to launch rocket and
drone strikes on U.S. forces in
Syria.
In March, a U.S. contractor
was killed and multiple Ameri-
can troops were wounded when
what was described as a self-
detonating drone struck a mili-
tary outpost in the northeast.
The attack by suspected Iranian
proxies provoked a ferocious re-
sponse, with U.S. warplanes
pounding facilities in Syria that
officials said were associated
with Iran9s Islamic Revolution-
ary Guard Corps.

Hours after a hospital declared her dead, woman knocks on her own co>n
BY V ICTORIA B ISSET
Mourners at the wake of a
woman in central Ecuador were
shocked to find she was alive and
breathing in her coffin.
Relatives suddenly heard Bella
Montoya, a former nurse, knock-
ing on her coffin, according to
the Associated Press. They dis-
covered that the 76-year-old
woman was still alive 4 hours
after she had been declared dead.
<After about five hours of the
wake, the coffin started to make
sounds,= her son, Gilberto Bar-
bera, told the AP. <My mom was
wrapped in sheets and hitting
the coffin, and when we ap-
proached we could see that she
was breathing heavily.=
<My mom started to move her
The 76-year-old

left hand, open her eyes, her
mouth= and was struggling to
breathe, local newspaper El Uni-
verso quoted him as saying.
In a statement Sunday, the
Ministry of Public Health said
authorities were investigating
the case.
Montoya was taken to the
Martín Icaza Hospital in Baba-
hoyo on Friday after suffering a
suspected stroke and went into
cardiorespiratory arrest. The
doctor on duty confirmed her
death after resuscitation efforts
failed, according to the govern-
ment statement.
Her son told El Universo that
his mother was admitted to the
hospital around 9 a.m. Friday.
<And at midday, a doctor told me
that my mom had died.=
Relatives who had gathered
for the wake the same afternoon
called emergency services when
they realized she was, in fact,
alive. Emergency responders re-
turned her to the same hospital
where she had been declared
dead just hours earlier, accord-
ing to local media.
A video from the scene showed
several people attending to the
woman as she lay in the open
casket, still wearing her hospital
bracelet, and opening and clos-
ing her mouth.
Montoya9s condition remains
serious, however. According to
the ministry, the patient was in
the intensive care unit and was
intubated.
While many people have a
<very primeval fear= of being
buried alive, instances of people
being prematurely pronounced
dead appear to be <incredibly
rare,= although they do happen,
Stephen Hughes, a senior lectur-
er in medicine at England9s An-
glia Ruskin University and a
consultant in emergency medi-
cine, said in an interview.
In February, a hospice in Iowa
was fined $10,000 for incorrectly
declaring the death of a patient
with early-onset dementia. The
woman later woke up in a body
bag at a funeral home but died
days later with family members
by her side, according to a state
report.
In another case, a man took a
breath just minutes after medics
pronounced him dead. Weeks
later, he was able to leave the
hospital, and subsequently told
The Washington Post that al-
though the incident had taken a
toll on him, he was thankful to be
alive.
Hughes says certain drugs
may lead to a misdiagnosis of
death 4 as he once found in his
own practice, when a patient
took an overdose of a barbiturate
on a cold day, only to be found to
be alive at the mortuary as the
body warmed up and the effect of
the drug wore off.
Hypothermia can be another
cause.
<If you fall into cold water, the
body can slow right down and
you might be thought of as dead
when, in fact, you9ve got a very
slow heart rate. And if you then
warm up, you might come alive
again,= he said, adding that the
cooling technique actually is
used to protect the brain during
cardiac surgery.
The final cause of such inci-
dents is human error, where a
lack of training or diligence may
mean that medical staffers miss a
patient9s vital signs.
But, he says, many countries
require a long process before a
person can be certified as dead or
be buried 4 <so that9s pretty
reassuring.=

Dockworkers at Canadian ports vote to authorize strike

Move coincides with
labor dispute at shipping
hubs on U.S. West Coast
BY E LI T AN
Unionized port workers in
Canada have authorized a strike
in a near-unanimous vote, add-
ing to brewing labor tensions
affecting ports along the West
Coast.
More than 99 percent of the
International Longshore and
Warehouse Union Canada mem-
bers who cast ballots endorsed a
strike, according to results re-
leased Monday night. The move,
which comes after months of
deliberation between the union
and the British Columbia Mari-
time Employers Association me-
diated by the Canadian govern-
ment, means the union9s 7,200
dockworkers could walk out as
soon as June 24.
<The BCMEA remains commit-
ted to bargaining in good faith
and seeking a fair and balanced
deal that recognizes the expertise
of the waterfront workforce,
while ensuring West Coast ports
remain competitive, resilient and
affordable for all Canadians,= the
port operators said in a state-
ment responding to the strike
authorization.
It9s the latest potential wrinkle
for the global supply chain, which
relies on shipping hubs to move
billions of dollars9 worth of cargo
every month.
A strike by Canadian dock-
workers could have grave impli-
cations for the ports9 American
counterparts on the West Coast,
who have been locked in a labor
Shipping containers are stacked in Vancouver, British Columbia. In a nearly unanimous vote, members of the International Longshore
and Warehouse Union Canada have authorized a strike; 7,200 dockworkers could walk out beginning June 24.
dispute with their port operators
since July. Canadian ports repre-
sented by the ILWU Canada col-
lectively handle $225 billion
worth of cargo each year, por-
tions of which are transported to
their destinations by American
trains and trucks.
Like U.S. dockworkers, the
main priorities for ILWU Canada
members revolve around wages
and protection from automation.
Though the U.S. dockworkers
union has not authorized a strike,
port operators represented by the
Pacific Maritime Association say
union workers have caused de-
lays and work stoppages at sev-
eral major shipping hubs. Por-
tions of the ports at Los Angeles,
Long Beach, Calif., Oakland,
Calif., and Seattle 4 gateways for
container ships that bring im-
ports from Asia 4 have intermit-
tently shuttered or slowed in
recent weeks amid contract nego-
tiations.
If Canadian ports were to tem-
porarily shut down, the inbound
cargo would probably be redi-
rected to the U.S. West Coast
ports, leading to further conges-
tion, said George Kochanowski,
PAul chinn/sAn FrAncisco chronicle/AP
chief executive of Staxxon, a com-
pany that makes shipping con-
tainers.
<The shippers from Asia, coun-
try lines don9t mean anything to
them, it9s about the final destina-
tion 4 North America. But there9s
a fixed amount of land, of ware-
houses, of roads to get there,=
Kochanowski said.
The economy relies on ships,
trains and trucks to transport
goods, and it only takes a small
disruption to one part of the
supply chain to cause congestion
in the others.
Though contract negotiations
in the United States have made
significant progress on issues
tied to automation, pay remains a
sticking point, according to two
people briefed on the negotia-
tions who spoke on the condition
of anonymity because they were
not authorized to discuss the
talks publicly.
President Biden9s acting labor
secretary, Julie Su, met with both
parties in San Francisco on Tues-
day to help mediate in the U.S.
negotiations, a representative of
the Labor Department confirmed
to The Washington Post.
Among retailers, there9s a
growing concern that more labor
disruptions and stoppages at Ca-
nadian and U.S. West Coast ports
could affect back-to-school shop-
ping, with merchandise includ-
ing backpacks and shoes not ar-
riving in time for their peak
season. Shippers are eyeing ports
in Mexico and on the East Coast
as alternatives, but the longer
travel times are costly.
<The insiders are all saying
that they9ll just go to the other
coast, where the people seem to
be more reasonable,= Kocha-
nowski said. <But it9s a big ex-
pense, and the fear is that the
consumer will not want to pay
the price.=
Major companies that use the
Canadian ports include the furni-
ture giant Ikea and the retailer
Canada Tire. Midwest manufac-
turers and automakers, which
rely on West Coast ports and
railways to deliver material in-
land, also stand to be affected by
port closures.

war in ukraine

Brigade9s losses foreshadow cost Kyiv is prepared to pay

UkrAiNe from A1
would eventually help other
Ukrainian brigades liberate four
villages in Donetsk, one of the
counteroffensive9s key starting
points, securing an early triumph
for Kyiv during the most widely
anticipated operation of the war.
Survivors from the 37th, which
included some American volun-
teer fighters and soldiers trained
in Europe, described their ordeal
as the tip of the spear in Ukraine9s
counteroffensive.
Their accounts offered one of
the first real glimpses into the
brutal fighting on a new front this
month, far removed from the
antiseptic claims of advances and
retreats by officials on both sides
of the conflict. And the battalion9s
heavy losses foreshadow the terri-
ble cost that Ukraine9s leaders are
prepared to pay 4 and believe
they must pay 4 to oust the
russian invaders and reclaim
their lost territory.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, Ukrai-
nian units pressed the fight in
other key areas along the front: in
the Donetsk region 4 east of
Lyman, on the outskirts of
Bakhmut, and in marinka 4 and
in the Zaporizhzhia region, south
of orikhiv.
<The enemy is doing every-
thing to keep the positions [they]
captured,= Ukrainian Deputy De-
fense minister Hanna maliar
wrote in a Telegram post, adding
that russians were fighting back
with <assault and army aviation=
and <intense artillery fire.=
russia responded to Kyiv9s
counteroffensive with its latest
deadly overnight missile barrage,
killing 11 people and injuring at
least 36 in President Volodymyr
Zelensky9s hometown of Kryvyi
rih.
Cruise missiles struck a resi-
dential building and a warehouse
in the working-class city in cen-
tral Ukraine.
Zelensky posted a video on his
Telegram channel, showing
flames leaping from the ruins of a
dinary cities and people.=
Just hours after the strike, rus-
sian President Vladimir Putin de-
nied that his country hits civilian
targets. In a wildly cynical claim
to pro-war bloggers and military
journalists he accused Ukraine of
being the aggressor in a war that
he, in fact, brazenly initiated
more than a year ago. <They
started this war,= he said, <and we
are trying to stop it.=
<The enemy has had no success
in any of the areas,= Putin said,
adding: <During this time,
Ukraine has lost over 160 tanks
and over 360 armored vehicles. &
our losses are 10 times less.= His
assertions could not be con-
firmed.
on Tuesday, the Biden admin-
istration said it would send
Ukraine an additional $325 mil-
lion in military supplies from U.S.
stockpiles. The package includes
25 armored vehicles, possibly to
replace those destroyed as fight-
ing intensifies, plus additional
Javelin missile launchers and
other weapons for targeting rus-
sian tanks, more artillery and air
defense munitions, and millions
of small-arms rounds and gre-
nades.
In a meeting with President
Biden at the White House on
Tuesday, NATo Secretary General
Jens Stoltenberg thanked the
United States for the new aid
package and said the Ukrainian
counteroffensive was <making
progress.=
<The more land the Ukrainians
are able to liberate, the stronger
hand they will have at the negoti-
ating table,= he said.
Ukrainian forces, meanwhile,
continued to push ahead on a
critical southeast front line here
in the vast farmlands and fields of
the Donetsk region.
Kyiv claims to have liberated
four villages 4 Neskuchne, Storo-
zheve, Blahodatne and makariv-
ka 4 just south of Velyka Novosil-
ka, on a roughly 51/2-mile stretch
of road close to the border of the
Zaporizhzhia region and about
A service member near Neskuchne, a village in the Donetsk region that Ukraine said it liberated. At
least 17 people were evacuated from four liberated villages, a Donetsk police press officer said.
Brigade, said his unit helped clear
two of the villages without any of
the newly supplied weapons and
equipment from Ukraine9s West-
ern allies, which are boosting
other brigades along the front
line. While some of his fellow
soldiers had trained in countries
including Britain, Norway and
Spain, the entire brigade had not
been sent abroad, as was the case
with some specialized attack
units.
<The more land the Ukrainians
are able to liberate, the stronger hand
they will have at the negotiating table.=
His brigade cleared the village
of Storozheve on Sunday morning
and makarivka on monday, Ko-
zachynskyi said. Eighty to 90 per-
cent of the homes in both villages
were destroyed. At least 17 people
were evacuated from the four
liberated villages, a Donetsk po-
lice press officer said.
<The soldiers are highly moti-
vated to move the enemy out of
our territory, to finish the war as
fast as they can,= Kozachynskyi
OleksandR RatusHniak/ReuteRs
said. <Even not having all of the
equipment, they can perform the
tasks that are required.=
Sometimes, even the Western-
supplied gear hasn9t been enough
to shield outmatched Ukrainian
troops from the intensity of rus-
sian shelling.
for the first hour and a half of
the 37th9s assault near Velyka
Novosilka, the russians bom-
barded the unit with nonstop
shelling that penetrated their
AmX-10 rC armored vehicles, ac-
cording to Grey, another soldier
in the battalion who spoke on the
condition that he be identified
only by his call sign. The armored
vehicles, sometimes called <light
tanks,= were not heavy enough to
protect the soldiers, Grey said,
and had to be positioned behind
them instead of in front.
As the mortar shells barreled
<Everyone expected that we
would have some kind of support,
but unfortunately, for some rea-
son, there was none,= Lumberjack
said. His commander had little
experience, he said, and had
counted on assistance from artil-
lery units. <But he got confused
when he saw that there was
none.=
finally, after two hours of
shelling, the russians appeared
to run out of ammunition, or were
exhausted by the fight. Ukrainian
forces seized the moment, Lum-
berjack recounted, taking the po-
sitions of their enemies and claw-
ing back some ground.
The mission, brutal as it was,
distracted russian forces, allow-
ing Ukraine to attack on other
flanks. After the initial push of
the 37th, other brigades helped
liberate the four villages.
<Yes, we made a sacrifice,= he
said. <But we got a result in
return.=
Unlike most of the men in his
unit, Lumberjack9s injury was rel-
atively minor. But the shrapnel
was still lodged in his shoulder,
making it difficult for him to fire a
weapon, so he planned to head to
Kyiv for treatment.
But first, for a brief moment
Tuesday afternoon, Lumberjack
and Grey stopped at a creek in a
town just north of those they
helped liberate. Soldiers jumped
into the water and swam beneath
the summertime sun. They hard-
ly seemed to notice the sounds of
cluster munitions and artillery
nearby.
Grey planned to return to the
fight that night, to replace weary
soldiers in the counterattack.
Their goal was clear: retaking
all of Ukraine9s territory from
russia. Their next big target?
mariupol, they said.
<We have to keep pushing for-

death, but we understand we

Mercenary boss ûaunts his criticism of Russian military

Wagner head denounces
defense leaders, makes
speeches like a politician
BY M ARY I LYUSHINA
RiGa, Latvia 4 Criticizing the
military is illegal in Vladimir
Putin9s Russia, and openly dis-
playing political ambition that
could challenge the strongman
president is highly ill-advised. Yet
Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeniy
Prigozhin somehow flaunts doing
both these days and, for now at
least, seems to be getting away
with it.
Prigozhin, the caterer turned
warlord who deployed his private
army 4 reinforced by thousands
of convicts whom he recruited
from prison 4 to Ukraine, has
been locked for weeks in a vicious
feud with Russia9s military lead-
ership, in which he has repeatedly
accused Defense Minister Sergei
Shoigu and other commanders of
incompetence.
That fight took a harrowing
turn this month when Wagner
fighters and regular Russian sol-
diers ended up in a shootout near
Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine,
which ended with the mercenar-
ies detaining a lieutenant colonel.
Prigozhin professes full loyalty
to Putin. But he has also been
giving speeches and holding news
conferences across Russia in
what looks a lot like a campaign
tour 4 a potential red line in a
country where any political chal-
lenge is viewed as betrayal. This
has prompted many Russia
watchers to wonder: Why is Putin
tolerating it?
With the war in Ukraine going
badly, some analysts say the Rus-
sian leader may not have a choice.
Prigozhin, at least, is a fervent
supporter of the war 4 he merely
insists it should be more brutal
and effective. By fully supporting
the war and a total mobilization
of Russian society, Prigozhin may
have ensured himself security.
<The regime simply cannot af-
ford to repress representatives of
the 8patriotic9 camp, which is al-
Telegram blogs.
<In Putin9s world, the internet,
all these sites, blogs and social
media, are the periphery,=
Stanovaya said.
While Putin has not publicly
reprimanded Prigozhin, there are
signs that the Russian president
stepped in earlier in the year to
draw lines for Prigozhin and Wag-
ner.
The appointment of Valery
Gerasimov, chief of the general
staff of the Russian armed forces,
whom Prigozhin had publicly be-
rated, as overall commander of
the war in Ukraine was viewed as
a blow to Wagner. Prigozhin also
lost his main source of manpower
when the Defense Ministry
barred him from recruiting in
prisons.
According to classified U.S. in-
telligence documents leaked on
the Discord messaging platform,
Putin set up a meeting between
Priogzhin and Shoigu in February
to address a conflict over alleged-
ly insufficient ammunition sup-
plies in Bakhmut.
In the latest round of the fight,
Shoigu decreed last week that all
<volunteer formations= must sign
a contract with the Defense Min-
istry by July 1. Prigozhin said
Wagner would not do so.
After withdrawing his merce-
mIkhaIl svetlov/getty Images naries from Bakhmut, which Rus-
Yevgeniy Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner mercenary group, has sia effectively seized in late May,
criticized the Russian military despite it being illegal to do so. Prigozhin sought to capitalize on

<So Prigozhin is testing his limits limiting him to online media and supporters with other anti-Putin
movements, including that of
jailed political opposition leader
Alexei Navalny.
<Figuratively speaking, soon
after Prigozhin finds himself in a
cell next to Navalny, his fans will
find themselves on the same side
of the barricades as the support-
ers of the latter,= Gallyamov said.
There is little polling on Prigo-
zhin9s nationwide appeal, but a
recent report from Russian Field,
an independent research agency,
stated that 2 percent of Russians
surveyed would vote for Prigo-
zhin in a presidential race, the
same as Navalny. That is higher
than many politicians, including
Shoigu, but less than Putin9s
30 percent.
The poll also suggested that
Prigozhin9s visibility to average
Russians was growing rapidly.
<The speed with which Prigozhin
has gained . . . is a high, because a
year ago he had nothing,=
Stanovaya said.
In a curious twist of Russia9s
chaotic political life, some Krem-
lin watchers noted that several of
Prigozhin9s talking points now
match those of the liberal part of
Russian society, including Naval-
ny9s supporters 4 namely, that
the war is deadly, will last a long
time and will be costly for Russia.
In his speeches, Prigozhin re-
lies on trusted populist tropes,
presenting himself as <a man of
the people= who speaks directly to
ordinary Russians and opposes
the detached elites of Rublyovka,
a wealthy neighborhood west of
Moscow that also serves as a
collective moniker for the coun-
try9s rich and powerful. Navalny
built much of his political capital
on exposing corruption and illicit
wealth among the elite.
But there are also big differenc-
es. Navalny has opposed Putin for
decades and has called for ending
the war, while Prigozhin repre-
sents an even more extreme ver-
sion of Putin9s policies, in full
support of authoritarian leader-
ship.
Navalny has also urged that
Russia be free, democratic and
<happy.= Prigozhin has taken a
somewhat darker tack, at one
point declaring that Russians
should live <like North Korea for a
few years= to achieve something
resembling a victory in Ukraine.
Such a campaign slogan is unlike-
ly to have much popular appeal.
<For people who live in big
cities and are accustomed to the
capitalist type of consumption,
Prigozhin9s [call for a] North Ko-
rea lifestyle and to general mobi-
lization cannot be attractive, so
can only work with a very small
. . . poor, frustrated population
and with aggressive conformists,=
said Andrei Kolesnikov, a
Moscow-based political analyst
with the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace who, like
many Russians, has been desig-
nated a <foreign agent= by the
authorities.
<There is a fundamental prob-
lem. . . . As Prigozhin himself
comes from the depths of Putin9s
elite, from Putin9s 8kitchen,9 he is
flesh from the flesh of the oligar-
chic system, and its product,=
Kolesnikov added.
Prigozhin9s endgame is still un-
clear. For years, he thrived as the
leader of a paramilitary organiza-
tion that operated in the shadows
to advance the Kremlin9s goals
around the world using every
means. That approach may not
necessarily translate well into any
official post, which comes with
more responsibility and political
risks, as well as nominal obliga-
tions to the law.
Analysts generally believe
Prigozhin stands a minimal
chance of having a successful
political career because his mes-
sage, like that of Chechen leader
Ramzan Kadyrov, is often too
extreme to resonate with main-
stream Russians, let alone the
country9s elite.
One possibility is that Prigo-
zhin is positioning himself
against other oligarchs for advan-
tage in a post-Putin Russia.
<He is acting intuitively and he
needs to gain political capital, but
I don9t think he knows yet himself
what he can convert it to,=
Stanovaya said. <Putin 4 he has
less and less control of the situa-

Department said in a
statement. That opened the
door for interest to start

I have worked with a lot of
folks who have student loans.
Some have struggled to make
payments because of low wages,
illnesses or family obligations,
such as caring for aging
parents.
But others, in my experience,
have just been trifling.
That initial six-month grace
period on their federally backed
loans got them used to not

Pa. ûnalizing plan
to reopen I-95 after
bridge collapse
Rebuilding could take months and impact economy
BY I AN D UNCAN
AND H EIDI P ÉREZ- M ORENO
Crews were scheduled to work
through the night early Wednes-
day on the demolition of an adja-
cent bridge carrying Interstate 95
that was compromised in a gas
truck fire as officials prepare to
release plans for restoring service
on the key East Coast artery.
<We9re going to try to do it as
quickly as we can,= Pennsylvania
Transportation Secretary Mike
Carroll said at the scene Tuesday
as work continued behind him.
A northbound bridge collapsed
Sunday after a Penn Tank Lines
gasoline truck rolled over and
caught fire beneath it, officials
said. The southbound span subse-
quently was found to be unsafe
and is being knocked down.
The crash and fire are under
investigation, and experts said
the flames would have weakened
the steel holding up the bridges.
The fire crippled a stretch of
highway that carries 160,000 ve-
hicles daily, leaving thousands of
trucks facing months of lengthy
detours and creating headaches
for commuters in Northeast Phil-
adelphia.
After touring the scene Tues-
day, Transportation Secretary
Pete Buttigieg described the burn
marks and twisted metal. He not-
ed the potential economic effects
of the collapse and said the feder-
al government would help Penn-
sylvania rebuild quickly and safe-
ly.
<What a lot of people don9t
always see behind those inflation
numbers is the importance of our
supply chains,= Buttigieg said. <If
a route is disrupted or if its longer
or if trucks have to wait, that finds
its way into the cost of goods.=

Analysis: Temu items
linked to forced labor
Products made in China9s
western province of Xinjiang are
being sold to U.S. consumers
through the online shopping
platform Temu, in breach of a
U.S. ban that forbids goods from
the region due to links to forced
labor, according to research by a
global supply chain verification
firm.

put their loans on pause
through a deferment or
forbearance.
Or they failed to make any
attempt to find a payment
plan that worked for their
budget.
If you fall into this category
of borrowers, here9s what I
recommend once the
pandemic-related pause for
your federal loans finally ends
this fall.
Don9t wait to make your first
payment in October
Practice making your
payments now.
Contact the company that
services your loan to confirm
your monthly payment. Then,
starting in July, put that money
in a savings account. This will
give you a sense of how the loan
payment will impact your
monthly budget.
If the pinch to your finances
is too hard during the practice
months, contact your loan
servicer to figure out your
payment options.
Pennsylvania State Police said
Monday they recovered a body
from the wreckage and that au-
thorities have no indication it was
anyone other than the truck driv-
er. Family identified the driver as
Nathan Moody, 53. Penn Tank
Lines did not respond to requests
for comment Tuesday.
Family members of Moody said
they are distraught over his
death. Alex Moody, an older cous-
in who grew up with him in
Philadelphia, said the death is
one of several in the family in
recent years.
He said he broke down into
tears, saddened to lose his <baby
cousin.= He said his cousin had a
wife and three children, one who
was 7 years old.
<One minute, you see a person,
then the next minute, you don9t
see them,= he said.
Alex Moody said his cousin was
the family9s Dudley Do-Right, a
reference to the character from a
segment on <The Rocky and Bull-
winkle Show.= He was the voice of
reason among family, always
there to keep cousins out of trou-
ble, help them find a job or help
pay rent if needed, he said.
Two decades ago, Nathan
Moody sat his cousin down to
encourage him to stay away from
drugs.
<That leaves an imprint on
your heart,= Alex Moody said.
The National Transportation
Safety Board is investigating the
crash and bridge collapse. The
board plans to issue preliminary
findings within a few weeks, but a
final report detailing the cause of
the collapse probably won9t be
available for a year.

2016 and was rated in good condi-

vetting platform Publican to
compare products sold on Temu,
such as sandals, sunglasses and
other items, with those sold by
the parent company inside
China.

Don9t ask for more delays if
you don9t need them
A deferment or forbearance
allows borrowers to stop
making loan payments if they
meet certain criteria, such as
economic hardship.
We see so many stories of
people with six-figure amounts
of debt that we assume that9s
the norm.
However, most student loan
borrowers owe less than
$25,000, according to the
Federal Reserve9s latest report
on the Economic Well-Being of
U.S. Households in 2022. The
Fed said the median amount of
education debt in 2022 4
among those with any
outstanding debt for their own
education 4 was between
$20,000 and $24,999.
<Although it is common to
focus only on those with
outstanding debt, many people
who borrowed for their
education had repaid their
loans completely,= the Fed said.
<Excluding these people who
have paid off their debt could
overstate difficulties with
repayment.=

available evidence indicates the
heat of the fire is to blame for the
collapse, rather than any issue
with the bridge. As steel reaches
high temperatures, its ability to
hold a load decreases and the
span probably fell under its own
weight, experts said.
Philadelphia officials have ar-
ranged detours around the col-
lapsed bridge and are encourag-
ing commuters to use public tran-
sit while work on the highway
continues, running extra train
service and making free parking
available. Ridership on three re-

Interest capitalization is
when your monthly loan

charged on the new, larger

Encouraging signs were sprin-

category for household furnish-

decline since June 2021 and its
largest one-month decline since
August 2009. Airfares also de-
creased 3 percent over the month
after a 2.6 percent decline in April.
To get inflation under control,
the federal reserve has raised its
benchmark interest rate at a
breakneck pace since march 2022.
Those moves have brought the
central bank rate, the federal
funds rate, to between 5 and
5.25 percent 4 the highest level in
16 years. The goal is for steep
borrowing costs to curb demand
for all kinds of lending and invest-
ments, including mortgages and
auto loans, so that demand for
new houses or cars can fall into
better balance with supply.

There might be
no such thing as
a legal American
crypto exchange
an anyone run a cryptocurrency exchange
C in the United States? I don9t mean run one
well, but just run one at all. Last week, the
Securities and Exchange Commission filed
suit against two major crypto exchanges, Binance
and Coinbase. The latter, especially, is worth paying
attention to, because if Coinbase can9t operate a
legal crypto exchange in the United States 4 and
the SEC is pretty much suggesting it can9t 4 then
it9s hard to imagine anyone else can either.
After all, Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange
based in the United States, is the goody-two-shoes
of its industry. Sure, this mathlete has somewhat
worryingly chosen to hang out behind the gym with
the weed dealers and the kid who just got released
on bail after stealing the principal9s car. But
Coinbase itself doesn9t make much trouble.
While Sam Bankman-Fried and his pals at FTX
were finding ever-more-flamboyant ways to make
billions of dollars disappear, Coinbase seems to
have boringly used customer funds to buy crypto
and hold it for them in the electronic equivalent of a
locked vault. The company9s financial statements
are audited by Deloitte, not some recent graduate of
Uncle Manny9s School of Accounting and HVAC
Repair. It even had the SEC9s permission, since
April 2021, to list its shares on the Nasdaq.
Only not so fast, says the SEC. Last Tuesday, the
commission filed a lawsuit against Coinbase,
alleging that the company was . . . well, actually,
doing pretty much what it told the SEC it was going
to do when it asked for permission to list its shares.
But now the SEC says this amounts to operating an
illegal securities exchange. Which raises some
questions.
For instance, if Coinbase9s business is illegal, why
did the SEC allow the company to list its shares?
And if Coinbase9s operations are illegal, then is it
even possible to have a legal crypto exchange in the
United States?
To answer the second question first: No, prob-
ably not, at least not in the way that cryptocurrency
exchanges normally work, which is by both storing
and trading crypto for customers. Securities ex-
changes cannot hold securities; all they can do is,
you know, help customers exchange them.
If courts side with the SEC, then perhaps
Coinbase could survive by splitting the storage and
trading functions into two separate firms, or maybe
by trading only bitcoin and ether, which don9t seem
to meet the SEC9s definition of a security. But it9s not
clear that9s a viable business model, or whether the
SEC is actually interested in finding a way for
crypto exchanges to operate legally.
Which brings us to the other question I posed:
Why now?
It9s true that the SEC never technically said
Coinbase9s operations were legal when it let the
company go public. But it9s a weird argument to say,
<Just because we9re letting you be a public company,
don9t think we9re saying your business is legal.= If
the Sinaloa cartel tried to list on the New York Stock
Exchange, would the SEC let it do it as long as the
auditing and disclosure requirements were met?
Presumably not. So what gives?
Well, even if you think trading crypto is illegal,
it9s not quite the same kind of illegal as selling
fentanyl on the street. Congress deliberately out-
lawed drug dealing, whereas crypto simply wasn9t
contemplated by our venerable securities laws. It9s
not crazy that in 2021 the SEC was willing to take a
wait-and-see approach to regulating a novel finan-
cial product.
Days after Coinbase began trading, however, a
new SEC chair arrived who is less friendly to crypto
4 in part because the folks gathered behind the
gym turned out to be even more unsavory than the
authorities had suspected. There was the theatrical
FTX implosion, and there were numerous smaller
incidents. By one estimate, at least $4.3 billion was
lost between January and November last year to
crypto hacks and outright fraud, up about a third
from the year before.
But <there seem to be a lot of scams= is an
argument for better regulation, not for making
crypto impossible to trade. A bigger issue is that,
since 2021, it has become clearer that crypto isn9t
delivering real-world benefits to offset its down-
sides.
To be sure, in countries racked by hyperinflation,
crypto might offer real value by providing a stable
medium of exchange. But the United States prints
the world9s reserve currency. Only a slim minority
of Americans have ever used or traded crypto, and
these folks mostly seem to have used it as a form of
financial speculation.
This means the best you could hope for from
even a well-run crypto exchange based in the
United States is, basically, an honest casino.
Unfortunately for Coinbase, the SEC does not like
to think of itself as a high-dollar version of the
Nevada Gaming Control Board. It wants to believe
the gambles it supervises generate larger economic
value.
It9s still possible that crypto could do so 4
perhaps artificial intelligence bots will use crypto
to transact? But crypto enthusiasts can9t stall
regulators forever by coming up with yet another
thing it might be good for, someday. Eventually,
they have to deliver here and now.

The Boy Scouts9 sexual abuse scandal
needs to ûnally be investigated
BY C ARA K ELLY
ast month, the attorney general of Illinois
L released the results of a years-long investiga-
tion into child sexual abuse by Catholic clergy,
revealing 348 more abusers in the state than
the church had previously disclosed 4 and nearly
2,000 child victims.
This was the latest of more than 20 similar reports
that began with a 2018 Pennsylvania grand jury
statement on more than 300 abusive priests and
1,000 child victims. In April, Maryland9s investigation
detailed abuse by 150 clergy members against more
than 600 victims.
Alarming as they are on their own, these reports
also point to another child sexual abuse case that is
even bigger 4 and ongoing 4 and yet has never been
as thoroughly examined.
This one involves the Boy Scouts of America, and it
is the largest instance of child sexual abuse in a single
organization in U.S. history. More than 82,000 abuse
claims were made in the Scouts9 recent bankruptcy.
The Scouts scandal and those of the Catholic
Church overlap in part because, in the 1980s, the Boy
Scouts shifted the burden of screening its volunteers
to the religious and civic groups that sponsor individ-
ual troops and packs. And these charter organiza-
tions include the Catholic Church.
Yet child sexual abuse in the Boy Scouts has
routinely been ignored by law enforcement and poli-
ticians. Only one state attorney general, Dana Nessel
of Michigan, is investigating.
Congress has authority over the Boy Scouts; the
organization was congressionally chartered in 1916.
But Congress has never investigated. Even after Mi-
chael Johnson, the Scouts9 former head of youth
protection, wrote a letter in 2021 detailing how the
institution remains unsafe for children and begging
lawmakers to act, it remained quiet.
This was not the first time Congress avoided the
issue. In 2018, House members wrote to the Boy
Scouts asking why the organization was lobbying
against child sexual abuse laws. In response, Michael
Surbaugh, then the Scouts chief executive, said, <At no
time in our history have we ever knowingly allowed a
sexual predator to work with youth.=
This statement was false, easily disproved and
quickly retracted. But after following up just once
more in a letter requesting additional information on
the group9s lobbying practices, House members let
the matter drop, never pursuing the initial request 4
All doctors should learn to treat addiction 4 no exceptions
BYP ATRICE A . H ARRIS,
J OSIAH D . R ICH
AND J OSHUA M . S HARFSTEIN
iven the size of the U.S. overdose crisis 4 the
G number of annual deaths topped 100,000
again in 2022 4 it is astonishing how few
Americans who need medical addiction treat-
ment receive it. Buprenorphine and methadone, high-
ly effective drugs for opioid use disorder, are provided
to fewer than 1 in 6 people who would benefit from
them. A major reason for this failure is that not
enough doctors have been trained in their use.
Surprising as it might seem, most U.S. medical
schools and residency programs do not provide a full
set of training for treating addiction. This needs to
change.
Medical school is where physicians learn the build-
ing blocks of medicine. After graduation, students
take this foundation to the next level, a multiyear
residency, where they learn to practice medicine.
Addiction medicine has been left out of the system
because it was historically frowned upon. In the early
20th century, federal authorities operating under the
draconian Harrison Narcotics Tax Act arrested thou-
sands of doctors for treating patients with substance
use disorder. Many physicians understandably but
unfortunately kept their distance from such patients,
adding to the stigma of both addiction and its treat-
ment. Today, it is more widely recognized that people
with substance use disorders suffer from a chronic
illness and deserve the same care and compassion as
anyone else.
Some important progress has been made. In the
2023 omnibus appropriations legislation, passed last
December, Congress eliminated a law that had re-
quired doctors to obtain a special waiver from the
Drug Enforcement Administration to prescribe bu-
prenorphine. At the same time, Congress required all
doctors to receive eight hours of education on sub-
stance use disorders before prescribing controlled
substances.
Eight hours is not enough. Doctors need a founda-
tional education on substance use disorders, starting
in medical school and continuing through residency.
Such education is rare. Only about half of U.S. med-
ical schools provide teaching sessions during clinical
years in the treatment of substance use disorders, and
fewer than one-third provide clinical experiences
related to addiction early in medical school, accord-
ing to a survey by the Liaison Committee on Medical
Education.
The organization responsible for residency train-

nor the falsehoods received in return.
Lawmakers might have been hesitant to act be-
cause of the Scouts9 century-old reputation 4 its
legacy of good works and its history of mentoring
future leaders. Boy Scouts have gone on to become
presidents, Supreme Court justices, astronauts and
cultural icons. And scouting has given millions of
American children a chance to learn new skills, camp
and explore the great outdoors.
Since at least 1919, the Boy Scouts have kept track of
abuse allegations through internal records known as
the <Ineligible Volunteer Files.= Portions of these were
released in 2012 as evidence in a landmark civil case
on child sexual abuse that resulted in a nearly
$20 million verdict against the Scouts. But the public
has yet to see most of the Scouts9 records of abuse
from the past 104 years.
One shield for the organization has been bankrupt-
cy, which the Scouts exited this past April. Abuse
claims are what landed the Scouts in bankruptcy
court, but most discussion of the cases involved took
place behind closed doors. Depositions were taken in
private. The files were deemed confidential.
At one point, abuse survivors grew so frustrated by
the Scouts9 failure to acknowledge the damage inflict-
ed on them, they wrote hundreds of letters to the judge,
describing suicide attempts, drug and alcohol abuse,
difficulty holding jobs, trouble maintaining relation-
ships, distrust in authority, and years spent in therapy.
Many said they hoped that by sharing their experi-
ences they might prevent future abuse. Yet the clerk of
court redacted the letters. Entire paragraphs describ-
ing abuse were obscured, along with names and
locations. The word <rape= was blacked out.
Survivors are left to wonder whether their assail-
ants are still working with kids.
In his letter to Congress in 2021, Johnson said
insufficient reference checks and decades-long inad-
equate criminal background checks leave all children
in Scouts programs 4 now including girls and boys as
young as 5 4 in danger. Because charters such as the
Catholic Church are unaccountable, and because
Scouts and the public lack access to all charters9
internal lists of identified abusers, known offenders
are still volunteering for the Scouts, Johnson said.
The Archdiocese of Chicago said all abuse allega-
tions against clergy are reported to civil authorities
and substantiated allegations are posted to their
website. Archdiocese leaders said they had no reason
to believe information on abusive priests has ever
been withheld from the Boy Scouts.
A bottle of buprenorphine, which treats the symptoms of opioid withdrawal.
ing in the United States, the Accreditation Council for
Graduate Medical Education, requires that all pro-
grams teach residents to <provide instruction and
experience in pain management for the specialty,
including the recognition of the signs of substance
use disorder.= Pain management, however, is only a
facet of what is needed.
The council leaves decisions on education and
training to individual programs. And of the 12,740
programs that train residents and fellows, only 1,942,
about 15 percent, have <experiential training= using
medications to treat opioid use disorder, a 2021-2022
survey found. Fewer than half of the programs in
emergency medicine, family medicine, internal med-
icine and obstetrics provide this critical education.
This is especially unfortunate because many
teaching hospitals are located in or near Black and
Hispanic communities, which often have inadequate
access to effective addiction treatment and are ex-
periencing substantial increases in overdose deaths.
Medical schools and residency programs are unlikely
to substantively increase their efforts unless the
council and the Association of American Medical
Colleges require it.
a21
More than 500 abuse claims filed in the bankrupt-
cy court happened in Catholic troops and packs, a
record second only to that of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. (Half of claimants didn9t
report their charter.)
Two priests who were deemed credibly accused by
the Illinois investigators were also Scout leaders. In
Pennsylvania there were four such priests. And in
Maryland there were 12. Among these was Father
Anthony Joseph Maskell, a priest and Scouts volun-
teer who had been transferred from parish to parish
over <troubling behavior with children, including a
fascination with the sexual fantasies and behavior of
Boy Scouts,= according to the Maryland report.
Maskell9s name doesn9t appear in the Scouts9 pub-
licly released Ineligible Volunteer Files. None of the
priests named in the three state reports do. Were they
added later? Did Catholic officials never tell the
Scouts? Or were Scouts part of a coverup?
The Boy Scouts declined to comment.
These are only a few of the questions the public
lacks answers to, in part because the Scouts, governed
by a board of high-profile people (former defense
secretary Robert M. Gates was president from 2014 to
2016), have failed to come clean. And because no
elected officials, save Nessel, have taken the trouble to
ask.
As part of their bankruptcy settlement, the Boy
Scouts agreed to enhanced child protection pro-
cedures, including the formation of a youth protec-
tion committee (whose members include abuse survi-
vors) and a comprehensive review of its youth protec-
tion training. It also agreed to work with the commit-
tee on a protocol to make public the names of
confirmed past and future child abusers. In April, the
Scouts appointed a new youth protection executive.
Yet in May, a Boy Scout camp employee was
indicted on federal charges for possessing and dis-
tributing child pornography that was created with a
hidden camera in a camp bathroom.
With their investigations into the church com-
plete, state attorneys general should turn their sights
on the Boy Scouts. Congress, for its part, should heed
Johnson9s call to investigate, demand the release of
the Ineligible Volunteer Files, and ensure that the
Scouts9 bankruptcy commitments to enhanced pro-
tections and public accountability are enforced.

As physicians who have seen what can go wrong
when lawmakers interfere in the practice of medicine
and medical education 4 for instance, the recent
interference in reproductive health care 4 we do not
call for action lightly. But every year, taxpayers pro-
vide about $15 billion to support residency training
through the Medicare program, and medical schools
receive considerable public funding. Amid an on-
going national epidemic of overdose deaths, it is
appropriate for Congress to expect schools and train-
ing programs to do more to teach doctors to save lives.
Opioid use disorder is treatable, and medicines are
readily available. But doctors cannot learn to help
patients by taking a weekend course alone. The
training needs to be part of their foundational educa-
tion. All physicians should emerge from medical
school and residency able to give this lifesaving care.

Don9t confuse
Clinton9s emails
with Trump9s
boxes
o, it9s not about her emails.
N Republicans9 reflexive reaction to
the devastating indictment of Donald
Trump has been to retreat to the
familiar corner of whataboutism: How could
Trump be criminally charged for his handling
of classified information when others, most
notably Hillary Clinton, escaped indictment?
The biggest problem with this argument is
that it is flat-out wrong. The circumstances of
Clinton9s emails and Trump9s boxes are not
remotely similar, no matter how loudly
Trump and his allies insist otherwise. Trump9s
behavior is far more egregious.
And even if the situations were more
comparable 4 they aren9t 4 that would
scarcely justify turning a blind eye to Trump9s
behavior. If, as the chanters insisted, Clinton
should have been locked up, where is the
outrage about Trump9s conduct?
The proof of my point was brought home
over the weekend in the diverging reactions
of Republican politicians and conservative
lawyers.
The politicians 4 see Sen. Lindsey
O. Graham (R-S.C.) 4 fulminated about
private servers in basements and hammers
taken to BlackBerries, two elements of the
Clinton episode that, helpfully for the GOP
cause, sound more sinister than they were.
<Most Republicans believe we live in a
country where Hillary Clinton did very
similar things and nothing happened to her,=
Graham told ABC News9s George Stephanop-
oulos. <I don9t like what President Trump did
in certain aspects,= Graham allowed. But he
appeared to be more worked up over the fact
that Trump was charged under a law formally
known as the Espionage Act 4 <espionage
charges are absolutely ridiculous= 4 even
though the indictment never uses that word
and instead cites <willful retention of nation-
al defense information.=
The lawyers who have read the indictment
have been appalled 4 not by prosecutors9
supposed overreach but by Trump9s alleged
behavior, both his carelessness with classified
material and his efforts to prevent the
government from taking it back. <If even half
of [the indictment] is true, then he9s toast,=
former Trump attorney general William
P. Barr told Fox News9s Shannon Bream. <It9s a
very detailed indictment, and it9s very, very
damning.= The <idea of presenting Trump as a
victim here, a victim of a witch hunt, is
ridiculous,= he said.
It has been a long seven years, so let9s
review the Clinton case and tick through the
critical differences. I have no brief for Clin-
ton9s behavior in setting up a private, insecure
email server to get around the State Depart-
ment9s clunky, antiquated email system. It
was sloppy, and Clinton made matters worse
when she had her lawyers unilaterally erase
30,000 emails they deemed personal.
But: Clinton didn9t keep classified docu-
ments or transmit them on the server. Rather,
the emails sent on the server referred to
classified information; they did not 4 with
the exception of three email chains that had a
paragraph or two marked <(C)= for confiden-
tial 4 contain other flags that the material
was classified.
If anything, there was <evidence of a
conscious effort to avoid sending classified
information by writing around the most
sensitive material,= Justice Department In-
spector General Michael Horowitz concluded
in a June 2018 report on the Clinton investi-
gation. And to the extent that classified
information was discussed on the private
system, investigators found, that was done
with other government employees, for official
purposes.
In addition, prosecutors did not find
indications of any intent to obstruct in the
Clinton lawyers9 deletion of the emails they
decided were personal. They <concluded that
there was no evidence that emails intention-
ally were deleted by former Secretary Clin-
ton9s lawyers to conceal the presence of
classified information on former Secretary
Clinton9s server,= Horowitz reported.
FBI and Justice Department employees
were unanimous in recommending against
charges, the report said.
As then-FBI Director James B. Comey put it
at the time, <no reasonable prosecutor= would
bring such a case. <In looking back at our
investigations into mishandling or removal of
classified information, we cannot find a case
that would support bringing criminal charges
on these facts,= Comey said. <All the cases
prosecuted involved some combination of:
clearly intentional and willful mishandling of
classified information; or vast quantities of
materials exposed in such a way as to support
an inference of intentional misconduct; or
indications of disloyalty to the United States;
or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see
those things here.=
Confronted with Trump9s conduct, with his
deliberate retention of classified material and
his extensive reported efforts to thwart the
investigation, no reasonable prosecutor
would fail to file charges.
As set out in the indictment, Trump
improperly brought with him to Mar-a-Lago
hundreds of highly classified documents,
negligently stored. For more than a year, he
rebuffed officials9 efforts to recover the ma-
terial. He knew the documents were classified
4 he9s on tape saying exactly that. He engaged
in an elaborate hide-and-seek game with his
own lawyers, shuttling boxes in and out of
storage areas, in a seeming effort to keep his
own attorneys from cooperating with the FBI.
He had them submit a false affidavit swearing
all the classified material had been returned
4 when hundreds of documents remained.
Prosecutors are supposed to treat like cases
alike. These are not like cases, no matter how
loudly Graham and other Trump apologists
proclaim otherwise.

5 convicted of murder in 2018 shooting of 10-year-old girl in D.C.

BY K EITH L . A LEXANDER
AND O MARI D ANIELS
A jury in D.C. superior Court
on Tuesday convicted six men of a
variety of crimes, including first-
degree murder and conspiracy, in
connection with the 2018 fatal
shooting of 10-year-old Makiyah
Wilson as she stood with her
older sister near an ice cream
truck in Northeast Washington.
The verdict after a three-
month trial was mostly a win for
prosecutors, as the jury agreed
that most of those charged were
responsible for the most serious

offenses. One defendant, though,
was found not guilty of first-
degree murder.
The killing has long troubled
D.C. officials, and Makiyah9s face
became a symbol of the human
toll of gun violence on city streets.
Homicide detectives arrested
11 people affiliated with a neigh-
borhood crew and charged nine
of them with the shooting. six
were defendants during this trial:
Quentin Michals, 25; Qujuan
Thomas, 24; Isaiah Murchison,
23; Darrise Jeffers, 23; Gregory
Taylor, 27; and Marquell Cobbs,
21.
Michals, Thomas, Murchison,
Jeffers and Taylor, who all are
from southeast Washington,
were found guilty of first-degree
murder and face up to life in
prison. Cobbs, of Clinton, Md.,
was acquitted of that charge but
found guilty of a lesser, conspira-
cy charge. He faces up to five
years in prison.
Jurors began their delibera-
tions May 25, but actual discus-
sions lasted only about seven
days. The men will be sentenced
in October. Another trial for re-
maining defendants is scheduled
for next year.
It was a challenging case for
federal prosecutors. There was no
DNA or eyewitness directly link-
ing any of the men to the shoot-
ing, and no one confessed.
Prosecutors argued that mem-
bers of the Wellington Park crew
stole a car and assembled an
arsenal of weapons as part of a
plot to target people associated
with the Clay Terrace neighbor-
hood. They alleged that masked
men jumped out of the stolen
Infiniti and, within 20 seconds,
fired 50 bullets indiscriminately
into the courtyard of an apart-
ment complex in the early eve-
ning of July 16, 2018.
One of the bullets, fired from a
rifle, pierced Makiyah9s back,
<obliterated= her heart and then
exited through her chest, Assis-
tant U.s. Attorney Laura Bach
said during her closing argu-
ments. Four other people in the
courtyard, in the 300 block of
53rd street NE, were wounded by
the gunfire.
<They didn9t care who they
were shooting at. They didn9t care
who they hit. They just wanted to
open fire,= Bach said during her
closing arguments.
Prosecutors also played graph-
ic videos that showed the shoot-
ing and a dying Makiyah lying in
the arms of her older sister.
The verdict came about a
month after the fatal shooting of
another 10-year-old in D.C.: Ari-

Even though Judge Jia m.
Cobb said she could not factor
Smith9s death into her sentenc-
ing decision because Walls-Kauf-
man pleaded guilty only to ille-
gally protesting in a Capitol
building, she allowed Smith and
the officer9s father to make vic-
tim-impact statements at Tues-
day9s proceeding.
The father, richard Smith,
said he <respectfully= disagreed
with the decision by the U.S.
attorney9s office in D.C. to charge
Walls-Kauffman only with sev-
eral misdemeanors 4 all but one
of which were dismissed in re-
turn for his guilty plea.
<At a minimum, David Walls-
Kaufman should be charged with
assaulting a police officer,= rich-
ard Smith told the judge, adding,
<Jeff 9s passing ripped the heart
out of our family. We will never
be whole again.=
Walls-Kaufman admitted to
joining supporters of President
Donald Trump in the attack on
the Capitol while Congress was
meeting to confirm Joe Biden9s
victory in the presidential elec-
tion. But he said he was there to
gather material for a scholarly
article he planned to write on the
nature of human conflict.
<I9m extremely sorry about
what happened that day and my
role in it,= he said in court. As for
the allegation that he assaulted
Smith, he said, <I9m one of the
last persons on Earth that would
do such a thing.= Since his arrest,
he said: <I9ve been [described] as
a cop killer. But there is no
evidence.=
In his sentencing memo, As-
sistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey A.
Kiok described Walls-Kaufman9s
movements in the Capitol that
day.
<After being sprayed with a
chemical irritant, Walls-Kauf-
man washed out his eyes, en-
tered the [Capitol] rotunda, and
made his way to the offices of the
Speaker of the House, where he
assisted in opening a door to a
conference room, then entered
the room,= Kiok wrote.
<He later joined a mob that
walked through the halls sur-
rounding the House chamber,
eventually coming to the door to
the Speaker9s Lobby,= in an area
where members of Congress and
others had taken shelter. <While
present with this mob, a rioter
attempted to jump through a
glass window and was shot by a
United States Capitol police offi-
cer,= Kiok wrote, referring to
rioter Ashli Babbitt, who died of
her wound.
The offense to which Walls-
Kaufman pleaded guilty carries a
maximum jail sentence of six
months. Cobb granted Kiok9s re-
quest for a two-month term.
Walls-Kaufman asked to be
placed on probation and spared
jail time.
According to the lawsuit, vid-
eo evidence shows Walls-Kauf-
man hitting Jeffrey Smith with
the officer9s baton while Smith9s
face was exposed and vulner-
able. The complaint includes
photos from Smith9s body cam-
era, which the lawsuit says
shows the officer being struck
with his own club.
Smith9s family said he suffered
a traumatic brain injury, leading
him to take his own life. Accord-
ing to the court record for the
lawsuit, he lost consciousness
during the riot and suffered
severe pain in its wake. Smith
had no prior mental health is-
sues, but after the attack, he
could not sleep or keep his
attention focused, according to
Erin Smith and her attorney.
The D.C. Police and firefight-
ers retirement and relief Board
granted Erin Smith a full pen-
sion, ruling that her husband9s
injury on Jan. 6 was the <sole and
direct cause of his death.= The
ruling came after months of
advocacy by Erin Smith and
members of Congress.
<Not a day goes by that I don9t
think about Jeffrey and what our
lives could have been,= she told
Cobb in a letter. <No matter what
sentence you decide upon,
please remember that I now live
a sentence of life without Jef-

fairfax County Public Schools
is fighting a request from the
Virginia attorney general for the
full contents of an outside inves-
tigation into delays in notifying
students who had received Na-
tional merit commendations.
In march, the school district
released a summary of findings
from the third-party review into
why some high schools were
months late in telling students
they had been named <com-
mended students= by the Nation-
al merit Scholarship Corp.,
which recognizes the highest
scorers on a national standard-
ized test. The investigation found
that the delays were not inten-
tional.
The delays led to outrage from
some parents. Attorney General
Jason S. miyares (r), at the
direction of Gov. Glenn Youngkin
(r), opened an investigation,
specifically probing whether stu-
dents9 race, color or national
origin <was a motivating factor=
in withholding notification, as
well as claims that the delays
were driven by concerns of hurt
feelings of students who didn9t

the family9s ability to build else-
where on the land in question,
she does have concerns about
what comes next.
While county historic designa-
tions are rarely unwound 4 a
Calvert spokeswoman said one
other property has had its desig-
nation removed 4 millard wants
the status revoked. Years of trying
are slated to culminate Wednes-
day in a hearing before the
Calvert Historic District Commis-
sion.
The family sees the result as a
test of the county9s commitment
to serving a dwindling number of
Black residents, whose ancestors9
labor 4 on tobacco farms and
oyster boats, in canneries and
shipyards 4 fueled Calvert9s
economy for generations.
Perched on the gray founda-
tion bricks of the old house re-
cently, millard, now 65, swapped
memories of childhood summers
in Lusby with her brother, De-
maune, 50: peaches and pears
straight from the trees, family
members showing off fresh fish
from the nearby Patuxent river,
and stories of a Lusby that9s faded
with time.
The land stands to remain va-
cant with room only for their
retrospection if the historic des-
ignation stays.
The original house was built by
Harrison Kent, who was born on
an October day in the early 1890s,
to parents born shortly after slav-
ery was abolished in maryland.
An oysterman who worked
jobs around Solomons Island, the
siblings9 great-grandfather fol-
lowed the trajectory of many
Black county residents descend-
ed from enslaved laborers, who
sought what limited autonomy
and freedom they could in a time
of overt racial discrimination.
His labor afforded Kent and his
wife, Daisy, the ability to build a
home, about 500 square feet, atop
a small hill with a gravel pathway
leading to the structure. The
house, which had no indoor
plumbing, remained occupied
until the late 1970s, when the
millards9 great-grandmother
died.
Calvert9s Board of County Com-
missioners approved the home
for historic designation in 2018,
stating that its <continuity of
family ownership, the unchanged
scale of the dwelling, and the
potential information contained
in the archaeological record on
the property make this a signifi-
cant and rare resource,= accord-
ing to documents provided by the
Calvert County Historical Society.
The body noted that the mil-
lards9 family members were part
of the historical African Ameri-
can community in the area and
that their home at the time was
<one of the few dwellings on the
road that remains from that peri-
od.=
The grounds of the property
had been <virtually undisturbed=
since it was first purchased, the
commission said in 2018.

As part of his investigation,
miyares filed a subpoena for the
full contents of the Sands Ander-
son report, which the school
district had previously declined
to release, citing attorney-client
privilege. On monday, the school
division filed formal legal objec-
tions to the subpoena to protect
confidential interviews with
fCPS staff and students.
<The AG has all the informa-
tion it needs to conduct its own
investigation. Nonetheless, it has
gone to court to try to breach
fCPS9s attorney-client privilege,=
the school division wrote in a
statement. <As a matter of princi-
ple and in order to protect our
valued teachers and staff, we are
opposing this unreasonable legal
action.=
The delays, which were first
reported in December, divided

found no examples of archaeolog-
ical significance on the grounds
of the property, she said.
After Wednesday, the matter
will go to a joint public hearing

Commissioners and county plan-

If that hearing upholds the

ing with Youngkin that the de-
lays were driven by an equity
agenda in the school system, and
others agreeing it was an honest
error. College admissions experts
said the commendation delay
would probably have no effect on
the admissions or financial aid
prospects of any high school
student.
Students are typically notified
of their commended-student sta-
tus in September so they can
mark the distinction on college
applications, according to the
scholarship organization, but
some fairfax students weren9t
notified by their schools until
months later. The school division
has implemented a new division-
wide process for high schools to
ensure students are notified of
all National merit Scholarship
honors on time in the future.
The summary of the Sands
Anderson findings said that in-
vestigators found no evidence
that the school division inten-
tionally withheld the award noti-
fications or that the delays were
driven by racial bias. It did find
that the lack of a uniform policy
for providing notices to students
contributed to the delays.

ic preservation restrictions.
Calvert County code states that
a historic designation can be re-
moved if a property no longer
meets criteria under which it was
originally designated.
Sarah Ehman, Calvert9s public
information program manager,
said the county doesn9t impose a
historic district overlay without
an application from property
owners and recommendation
from the Historic District Com-
mission.
Even if the historic acknowl-
edgment is taken away, that
doesn9t rid the millards of their
connection to the county.
Kent died in 1946 in a tragedy
that would reverberate for gener-
ations.
He was oystering with another
man, Oscar martin, that January
when a torpedo allegedly fired by
a Navy ship struck their small
boat in the Patuxent river near
Point Patience, the Cumberland
Evening Times reported. The gov-
ernment at the time said that the
men9s craft was in a prohibited
area and that both men had
signed documents assuming inju-
ry 4 a claim that the widows
would later dispute in a lawsuit
against the government.

tion laws.=
<fCPS now confirms it will
only comply with the law when
politically convenient,= LaCivita
said in the statement. <No school
system is above the law. If the
report shows no wrongdoing,
then fCPS should release it.
In a video message, fCPS su-
perintendent michelle reid ex-
plained the school district9s deci-
sion to fight the subpoena. She
said that various fCPS teachers
and staff were interviewed as
part of the independent investi-
gation and multiple staff mem-
bers have been harassed and
threatened over the National
merit issue.
<As we have already shared

Each year, about 1.5 million
students compete in the National

cording to its website. Students
enter by taking the PSAT/Nm-
SQT, a nationwide standardized
test, usually during their junior
year.
This year, 50,000 of the high-
est scorers qualified for recogni-
tion. The top scorers are named
finalists or semifinalists, mean-
ing they can compete for a Na-

she said.
When she tried to demolish the
home her great-grandfather built
to construct a new house in the
late 990s, that application was
denied because she was told that
her land needed to be subdivided.
Now, a nearby town center has
risen, complete with a Starbucks
and a Giant supermarket.
Developers are targeting the
area, said florence Buck, 71, a
lifelong resident down the street
from the millards who purchased
her home through a Department
of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment program in the early 1990s.
<They9re trying to make it more

noticed an increase in letters over

and real estate agents. <It9s mostly

Over time, the county commis-
sioned the family land to widen a
road. Another time, their father
and aunt allowed the county to
acquire more of their land to

with the caveat that heirs have an
access point to the land in perpe-
tuity. Next to their stretch of
Lusby earth is a cellphone tower,
placed there after a cousin sold
her piece of land to the county.
Harriett millard just wants a
home to call her own on the
property now.
Laws governing land use his-
torically have disadvantaged
Black communities, which led
families such as the millards9
ancestors to shun formal systems
of inheritance and instead leave
their property to heirs.
The practice, in which a de-
ceased family member passes
down ownership to descendants
without a deed or a will, has
historically left the rights of Black
families vulnerable, said Sherally
munshi, a professor of law who
teaches a class on racism, capital-
ism and property at Georgetown
Law.
The millards9 property was
heir property until their grand-
parents acquired it, Harriett mil-
lard said.
Land speculators sometimes
exploit a family9s economic sta-
tus, offering an enticing amount
of money for land 4 creating one
less Black landowner, she said.
<It9s interesting [Harriett] is
trying to use the legal protections
available,= munshi said, noting
that such laws have a record of
benefiting White land owners.
<The historic preservation is a
terrible irony.=
for Demaune millard, having
no real rights to the land would
be an affront to the future his
father envisioned for his chil-
dren.
<We stand on the shoulders of
our ancestors,= he said. <It9s very
nostalgic of trials and tribula-
tions we9re going through. We9re
still fighting these historical bat-
tles.=

The forces of physics determine
our weather, but Tuesday seemed
so splendid as to make us suspect
that we ourselves must have done
something right to be rewarded
by such a day, and by such spring-
like weeks before it.
Tuesday in Washington was
sunny, warm and dry, with soft
breezes and warm-day clouds
stretching above us. It seemed to
blend the best of spring and sum-
mer.
flat or fleecy, the clouds spoke
of no storms. Instead they seemed
to ask attention to their ever-
evolving shapes. Long-jawed
crocodiles morphed into flat-
muzzled mammals as the clouds
slowly paraded in the mid-June
sun.
Tuesday9s high in Washington
reached 83 degrees, two below
average for the date. Without need
to invoke humidity, it seemed that
a poll might have shown the ther-
mal choice to be 83.
And in a single day, Tuesday
seemed to exemplify the seeming-
ly endless availability and bril-
liant persistence of midsummer
daylight. The hours went on and
on; 8 p.m. arrived, and night still
seemed far, far off.

dict.

The DisTricT
2 ûreûghters
charged over
brawl caught
on video
BY E MILY D AVIES
Two D.C. firefighters have been
charged with assault in an on-duty
altercation captured on a viral vid-
eo, which showed them punching
and kicking a man on the pave-
ment.
Sean Sinon, a 48-year-old lieu-
tenant, and reden Ecleo, a 21-
year-old firefighter, were accused
in charging documents of attack-
ing the man, who prosecutors said
had punched Sinon, until D.C. po-
lice officers pushed them away.
The two have been on adminis-
trative duty since the April 25 inci-
dent, and will remain in that sta-
tus until the legal proceedings are
concluded, according to D.C. fire
and Emergency medical Services
Department spokesperson Vito
maggiolo.
They pleaded not guilty Tues-
day and were released until trial,
court records show.
The man, who prosecutors said
harassed other firefighters, was
initially arrested on a charge of
assaulting a police officer, but the
U.S. attorney9s office in the District
declined to prosecute him.
The D.C. firefighters Associa-
tion, International Association of
fire fighters Local 36, said in a
Tuesday statement that they were
disappointed in the charges and
stressed that firefighter training
does not include de-escalation
strategies. D.C. firefighters gath-
ered in front of a D.C. police sta-
tion Tuesday morning <to support
their members as they turned
themselves in,= according to Local
36.
<These firefighters reacted
quickly to a dangerous situation to
protect the citizens and them-
selves,= said Dave Hoagland, presi-
dent of Local 36, in the statement.
<right now, our involved firefight-
ers need to know that we support
them through these difficult
times.=
Phil Andonian, an attorney for
Sinon, in a statement said he was
<deeply troubled= by the U.S. attor-
ney9s decision to prosecute his cli-
ent. <Our first responders deserve
much better than this,= he said. An
attorney for Ecleo could not im-
mediately be reached.
Attempts to locate the man for
comment were unsuccessful.
The incident occurred shortly
before 11:30 p.m. in the unit block
of florida Avenue NW, after fire-
fighters responded to a report of
an accident involving a metro Bus,
according to charging documents.
At the scene, they noticed two
people who appeared to be under
the influence of narcotics and
started treating them with Nar-
can.
At that point, according to
charging documents, the man ap-
proached firefighters and got in
their faces. firefighters called D.C.
police for assistance, but before
police arrived, the man struck Si-
non in the face twice <with a closed
fist, unprovoked,= the documents
said.
While multiple firefighters at-
tempted to intervene, Sinon ap-
peared to <swing his arm/hand= at
the man seven times, according to
the documents.
After firefighters had the man
surrounded and pinned to the
ground by an on-duty D.C. fire-
fighter, Ecleo appeared to kick
him in the head and Sinon ap-
peared to punch him twice in the
left side of his upper body, pros-
ecutors said in charging docu-
ments.
D.C. police officers pushed Si-
non away after he punched the
man, the charging document said.
Ecleo then <placed his knee on
the head= of the man, at which
point D.C. police intervened to
push him away, according to
charging documents.
Sinon, in a written statement
quoted in charging documents,
said the man became so angry that
he <started to throw punches= and
that Sinon9s team <managed to
tackle him to the ground and con-
tain him= as police arrived.
Ecleo declined to provide a
statement to prosecutors or D.C.
police officers on the scene, ac-
cording to the charging docu-
ment.
The man also declined to pro-
vide a statement to prosecutors
but told D.C. police officers on the
scene that he had been beaten up
by D.C. firefighters, and that they
hit him first.
In videos recorded of the inci-
dent by onlookers and a TV news
camera operator, the man, who
police said is in his 40s and has no
fixed address, can be seen on the
pavement being punched and
kicked by firefighters. The videos
do not show the alleged provoca-
tion.

Democratic primaries attract heavy donor interest
doNoRs frOm B1
Bob Holsworth said many of the
races are in districts that won9t be
competitive in the general elec-
tion in November 4 so the real
contest is in the primary.
<But what you9re seeing is prob-
ably the largest and most visible
progressive versus center-left
challenge that we9ve seen in Vir-
ginia,= he said. <Clean Virginia
obviously thinks this is the one
opportunity they have to make a

former delegate Lashrecse
Aird, who is in a tight race with
Sen. Joseph D. morrisey (rich-
mond) for the Democratic nomi-
nation in the 13th District in Pe-
tersburg, has been the biggest
beneficiary of the late infusions of
cash, according to VPAP.
During the reporting period
that began in April, Aird collected
$814,600, with Clean Virginia
fund contributing $125,000 and
an additional $35,000 coming
from Sonjia Smith, wife of the
fund9s multimillionaire founder,
michael D. Bills.
morrissey 4 considered to be
an X-factor in the chamber re-
garding abortion rights because
of his personal opposition to the
procedure 4 received nearly
$320,000 in donations, of which
$75,000 came from Dominion.
In Northern Virginia, former
delegate Jennifer Carroll foy re-
ceived a combined $430,000 from
Clean Virginia fund and Smith,
with her total for the period at
$771,000. former delegate Hala S.
Ayala, who is running against Car-
roll foy for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Senate District 33, got
$100,000 from Dominion during
the same period, for a total of
$331,000.
Nearby, Sen. George L. Barker
(D-fairfax) collected $200,000
from Dominion 4 nearly a third
of his total intake for the period 4
while Stella Pekarsky, his oppo-
nent for the nomination in the
36th District, received $340,000
from Clean Virginia fund and
Smith, 80 percent of her total for
the period.
Sen. Dave marsden (D-fairfax),
who is competing against Heidi
Drauschak in the 35th District,
did not receive money from either
group during the same period.
But Dominion contributed
$65,000 to marsden9s campaign
when he represented the former
37th District. Clean Virginia fund
and Smith have given Drauschak
$360,000 since may, representing
two-thirds of her overall total for
the period. She received $150,000
from them earlier this year.

set at the time as <ignorantly

The online discussion group
drew more members and soon
evolved into an organization 4
called the DmV freedmen,
composed of American
freedmen residing in the D.C.
metropolitan area.
mickens, a schoolteacher, was
elected president, and matthews
was elected treasurer.
<We are just regular people
that had to get into this because
our elected officials aren9t
making much progress,=
mickens said.
Their strategy for progress
has proved to be controversial:
severely narrowing the
definition of who is eligible for
reparations.
<We have reached the
conclusion that the U.S.
Supreme Court will never honor
a reparations claim that is
rooted in racial terms, and we
agree with that,= matthews said.
<reparations is not a cure for
racism. This is not about
reparations for 8Black9 people.
Anybody can say they are 8Black9
these days. This is about
reparations for the descendants
of America9s emancipated
people, which are the
freedmen.=
The freedmen plan mirrors
one adopted by the American
Descendants of Slavery, which
would require at least one
parent9s ancestry to be traced to
a formerly enslaved person.
The DmV freedmen are
aware that the odds are against
them. Although most Black
people think reparations are
owed, few think they will ever
be paid. An overwhelming
majority of White people
strongly oppose the idea.

General Assembly, where significant changes are anticipated because of redistricting.
Both Clean Virginia fund and
Dominion said they contributed
to candidates who shared their
goals and ideals.
<All of these candidates share a
principle that is critical for a func-
tioning state democracy 4 a com-
mitment to refusing campaign
contributions from Virginia9s
electric utilities and to shifting
the political power in Virginia
from those corporate monopolies
to the people of the Common-

vocal Dominion critic, said in a
statement.
<We look forward to a day when
the Virginia legislature passes
broad-based campaign finance
reform that systemically puts the
public interest above monopoly
profit interest, and will work
toward that end,= the group said.
Dominion said it is interested
in promoting candidates who
support <common sense public
policy that benefits our custom-
ers.=
<It9s worth noting that our crit-
ics donate millions more than we
do,= the company said in a state-
ment, pointing to the $7.5 million
that Bills has poured into Clean
Virginia fund since last spring.
<That9s nearly twice as much as
our company and more than any
other individual, company or or-
ganization in Virginia.=

leaders, Dominion has advocated
changes in energy policy that
would be carried out by utilities.

payouts, the group is seeking targeted skill development for descendants of enslaved people.
Also, some Pan Africanist
advocates believe that
differentiating among Black
people would foster bitter
divisiveness and lead to
xenophobia.
The DmV freedmen take
sides with William Darity, a
Duke University professor of
economics, who has called for
$14 trillion in reparations for
descendants. <It9s hard to argue
that those who immigrated
voluntarily deserve the same
reparations as the descendants
of those brought to the United
States in chains,= says Darity.
The case for reparations rests
on myriad wrongs done to
enslaved people and many
broken promises to compensate
them for their labors. most
notable was a pledge to give
freedmen 40 acres, which the
federal government reneged on.
The federal government did
honor a promise to give 1.5
million mostly White families
160 acres each under the
Homestead Act in 1862.
mickens would like the
federal government to take a
more creative approach to
reparations. In addition to the
cash payouts, her group wants
Clean Virginia opposes that idea,
saying utilities in the state have
been allowed to create a monopo-
ly that has been harmful to the
environment while driving up
consumer costs.
Several candidates 4 regard-
less of which entity contributed to
their campaigns 4 sought to min-
imize those large contributions
while emphasizing the smaller in-
dividual donations they9ve re-
ceived.
<With their support in these
final days, it will allow me to . . .
remind people of what9s at stake
in this election,= Aird said of the
1,941 donations of $100 or less she
received. morrissey9s campaign
did not respond to a request for
comment.
Some Dominion-backed candi-
dates were resentful of their oppo-
nents9 Clean Virginia fund mon-
ey.
<I would have been happy to
have been showered with the
amount of money she9s gotten
from Clean Virginia,= Barker said
of Pekarsky. <We have to work
harder than she does because
we9re running a broad campaign
that has had a comprehensive
discussion of the issues.=
Pekarsky defended the support,
saying in a statement: <I9m com-
mitted to funding my campaign
without taking donations from
publicly-regulated utilities, un-
like my opponent, so that I am free
to side with the public interest.=

MarylanD
Poll shows
widespread
aversion to
gas-car ban
Gov. Moore9s emissions
plan would end sales
of the vehicles by 2035
BY E RIN C OX
A new poll shows left-lean-
ing maryland is deeply averse
to one of Gov. Wes moore9s
largest environmental initia-
tives to cut carbon emissions,
with 61 percent of those sur-
veyed saying they oppose plans
to end sales of new gas-pow-
ered cars by 2035.
moore announced plans this
spring to combat climate
change by phasing out sales of
gas-powered cars, setting a goal
that matches California9s ambi-
tious program and would re-
duce the largest source of mary-
land9s greenhouse gas emis-
sions. The regulation would
take effect in September, ratch-
eting up the percentage of elec-
tric vehicles sold in maryland.
Half of those surveyed said
they <strongly opposed= the
idea.
A spokesman for moore de-
fended the program in a state-
ment, saying the proposal will
cut emissions and pay economic
dividends by positioning the
state in the green economy.
<Governor moore firmly be-
lieves maryland will lead the
clean energy revolution
through a strategic plan to cut
carbon, invest in green technol-
ogy, and ensure that maryland-
ers of all backgrounds can get
involved in building a more
sustainable future,= Carter El-
liott IV, a spokesman for moore,
said in an email.
The Gonzales Poll, released
Tuesday, offers the first public
polling on the plan. It finds a
strong partisan split in support
for the measure 4 and that
opinions shift when respon-
dents learn either about the
environmental benefits or the
cost of the plan.
Democrats make up a strong
majority in maryland, but only
55 percent support the propos-
al, with 43 percent opposed.
Two-thirds of independents,
who are roughly 20 percent of
the electorate, said they op-
posed the plan. And an over-
whelming 92 percent of repub-
licans, who are roughly a quar-
ter of the electorate, opposed it
as well.
But a chunk of respondents
quickly changed their minds,
muddying the picture.
Support for the proposal
grows by 11 percent when re-
spondents were told it could
dramatically cut carbon emis-
sions. Support erodes by 12
percent when respondents were
told it could increase the aver-
age cost of a car.
The poll of 841 registered
maryland voters, conducted
may 30 through June 6, has a 3.5
percentage-point margin of er-
ror.
maryland residents were
more optimistic about the di-
rection of the state than that of
the nation, the poll found.
fifty-four percent said they
thought maryland was moving
in the right direction, but only
29 percent said the same about
the country.
The poll also found moore,
five months into his tenure,
with job approval ratings slight-
ly higher than those of Presi-
dent Biden, whom moore has
strongly supported.
Statewide, 55 percent of vot-
ers approve of the job moore is
doing, with 27 percent disap-
proving and 18 percent not
offering an opinion.
His support was highest
among Democrats 4 77 percent
approve 4 and lowest among
republicans, although 2 in 10
said they approved of the job
moore has done so far.
moore, currently the only
Black governor of a U.S. state,
saw the strongest support from
Black voters, 79.6 percent of
whom said they approved of the
job he was doing. Sixty percent
of women, regardless of party
affiliation, supported the gover-
nor, compared to 49.5 percent of
men.
respondents had similar
views of Biden, with 52 percent
approving, but a larger share, 47
percent, disapproving of the
president.
Support was highest among
Democrats 4 79 percent ap-
proved 4 and lowest among
republicans, with just 7 percent
approving of the president.

corMac Mccarthy, 89
Pulitzer-winning novelist wrote spare, haunting works
BY H ARRISON S MITH
Cormac McCarthy, a Pulitzer
Prize-winning author whose lyri-
cal and often brutally violent nov-
els propelled him to the first
ranks of American fiction, im-
mersing readers in scenes of sav-
agery, despair and occasional ten-
derness in the backwoods of Ten-
nessee, the deserts of the South-
west and the ashen desolation of a
post-apocalyptic world, died June
13 at his home in Santa Fe, N.M.
He was 89.
His death was announced in a
statement by his publisher, Pen-
guin Random House, which did
not give a specific cause.
Mr. McCarthy explored the
dark side of human nature in a
dozen novels that were lean and
poetic, poignant yet unsentimen-
tal. Author Saul Bellow praised
his <absolutely overpowering use
of language, his life-giving and
death-dealing sentences,= and
some literary critics called him an
heir to William Faulkner and Her-
man Melville, writers with whom
he shared a keen interest in
themes of loss, suffering, blood-
shed and fate.
<If it doesn9t concern life and
death,= Mr. McCarthy once told
Rolling Stone, <it9s not interest-
ing.=
For the first quarter-century of
his career, Mr. McCarthy was little
more than a cult figure, a <writer9s
writer= who declined to talk to
most reporters and was rumored
to live like a hermit.
None of his first five books sold
more than 3,000 hardcover cop-
ies, and even glowing reviews of
his novels emphasized that they
were not exactly a pleasure to
read: His semi-autobiographical
novel <Suttree= (1979) was likened
to <a good, long scream in the ear,=
while his western epic <Blood
Meridian= (1985) was said to hit
readers <like a slap in a face.= The
novel has a scene in which dead
babies are found hanging from a
tree.
Mr. McCarthy9s prose style was
strikingly idiosyncratic, earning
comparisons to James Joyce,
Shakespeare and the King James
Bible. He stripped most of his
sentences of punctuation, limit-
ing his use of commas and dis-
pensing with semicolons and
quotation marks altogether;
played with traditional syntax;
and sprinkled his novels with
obscure words (vermiculate,
gryke, patterans, rachitic), while
using naturalistic dialogue to an-
chor his books in time and place.
<This whole thing is just hell in
spectacles,= says one of his law-
man characters.
As Mr. McCarthy played with
conventions of the western, crime
thriller and horror genres, re-
viewers found that his writing
became slightly more accessible
over the years. He received the
National Book Award and Na-
tional Book Critics Circle Award
for <All the Pretty Horses= (1992),
one of his most romantic west-
erns, and the Pulitzer Prize for
<The Road= (2006), about a father
and son trudging across the Unit-
ed States in the wake of an un-
specified disaster.
In 2009, he followed Philip
Roth in becoming the second au-
thor to receive the PEN/Saul Bel-
low Award for lifetime achieve-
ment in American fiction.
<His writing is a hypnosis of
detail. He makes you feel that,
because this place is palpably
real, these events would seem to
be true,= New York Times book
critic Anatole Broyard wrote in a
review of <Suttree,= about a man
who abandons a life of privilege in
the 1950s to live on a houseboat in
Knoxville, on the Tennessee River.
Mr. McCarthy, who had a rela-
tively luxurious upbringing in the
city, described Knoxville in the
novel as a city home to <reeking
clapboard warrens where chil-
dren cried and craven halfbald
watchdogs yapped and slank,=
and where <every other face [was]
goitered, twisted, tubered with
some excrescence.=
While <Suttree= was darkly fun-
ny, with a sprawling cast of char-
acters that included a man who
has a sexual obsession with wa-
termelons, many of his books
were almost unremittingly bleak.
In <Outer Dark= (1968), a man
impregnates his sister and leaves
their baby to die in the woods. A
necrophiliac serial killer fills a
cave with bodies in <Child of God=
(1973), and a hit man named
Anton Chigurh uses a bolt gun to
blow out door locks and execute
his victims at close range in <No
Country for Old Men= (2005),
which the Coen brothers adapted
into an Oscar-winning film.
<There9s no such thing as life
without bloodshed,= Mr. McCar-
. the washington post
thy told the Times in 1992. <I
think the notion that the species
can be improved in some way,
that everyone could live in har-
mony, is a really dangerous idea.
Those who are afflicted with this
notion are the first ones to give up
their souls, their freedom. Your
desire that it be that way will
enslave you and make your life
vacuous.=
Mr. McCarthy received some of
the best reviews of his career for
<Blood Meridian,= perhaps his
most violent book, which literary
critic Harold Bloom called <the
ultimate western, not to be sur-
passed.=
Loosely based on historical
events, it followed a 14-year-old
known simply as <the kid,= who
joins a group of scalp-hunting
bounty hunters after the Mexi-
can-American War. The gang9s
members include a hairless, 7-
foot-tall giant named Judge Hold-
en, who kills without hesitation,
dances and fiddles with seeming-
ly boundless energy, and declares
that <war is god,= emerging as a
monster in the mold of Shake-
speare9s Iago.
Mr. McCarthy used campfire
exchanges between the judge and
the kid to examine ideas about
war, fate, religion and the col-
lapse of civilization. He also dem-
onstrated his literary range by
mixing short, punchy lines with
sentences that sprawled across
the page, such as a description of
charging Comanches that
stretched nearly 250 words:
<A legion of horribles, hun-
dreds in number, half naked or
clad in costumes attic or biblical
or wardrobed out of a fevered
dream with the skins of animals
and silk finery and pieces of uni-
form still tracked with the blood
of prior owners & and all the
horsemen9s faces gaudy and gro-
tesque with daubings like a com-
pany of mounted clowns, death
hilarious, all howling in a barba-
rous tongue and riding down
upon them like a horde from a
hell more horrible yet than the
brimstone land of christian reck-
oning, screeching and yammer-
ing and clothed in smoke like
those vaporous beings in regions
beyond right knowing where the
eye wanders and the lip jerks and
drools.=
The scene was classic McCar-
thy: all action and vivid descrip-
tion, offering no details of his
characters9 thoughts or feelings.
Unlike writers such as Proust or
Henry James, whose work Mr.
McCarthy said he never under-
stood, he had little interest in
bringing his readers inside the
minds of his protagonists.
He took a similar approach to
his own life. Mr. McCarthy de-
clined all but a handful of inter-
view requests 4 even when he
appeared on TV, interviewed by
Oprah Winfrey after she selected
<The Road= for her book club, he
was almost inert 4 and preferred
to steer the conversation away
from literature, talking about
country music, theoretical phys-
ics or the behavior of rattlesnakes.
Despite the rumors, he was
hardly a recluse. He frequented El
Paso pool halls, befriended the
high-stakes poker player Betty
Carey and was a longtime fixture
of the Santa Fe Institute in New
Mexico, a scientific research cen-
ter that was co-founded by his
friend Murray Gell-Mann, a No-
bel-winning physicist.
The two men met after Mr.
McCarthy received a MacArthur
<genius= grant in 1981, the first
year it was awarded. Mr. McCar-
thy was living out of a motel room
at the time, and he bought a small
stone cottage in El Paso with
some of the $236,000 grant. But
he still cut his own hair, prepared
meals on a hot plate and washed
his clothes at a laundromat, ac-
cording to the Times.
Mr. McCarthy refused to teach
creative writing, calling it <a hus-
tle,= and never went on tour or
gave public readings. When it
came to autographing books, he
told the Wall Street Journal that
he signed 250 copies of <The
Road= and gave them all to his
younger son John, <so when he
turns 18 he can sell them and go to
Las Vegas or whatever.=
His apparent lack of interest in
promoting his novels was com-
plemented by a fierce devotion to
writing them, sometimes at the
expense of his family life. His
three marriages ended in divorce,
and he described himself as an
absent father to his first son, who
was born while he was working
on his debut novel.
<Anything that doesn9t take
years of your life and drive you to
suicide hardly seems worth do-
ing,= he told the Journal in 2009,
explaining why he wrote novels
obituaries
Writer Cormac McCarthy in 2014. In works such as <Blood Meridian= and <The Road,= he explored the
dark side of human nature, with some calling him an heir to William Faulkner and Herman Melville.
rather than short stories. He add-
ed: <Creative work is often driven
by pain. It may be that if you don9t
have something in the back of
your head driving you nuts, you
may not do anything. It9s not a
good arrangement. If I were God,
I wouldn9t have done it that way.=
8I wasn9t going to be a
respectable citizen9
The third of six children,
Charles Joseph McCarthy Jr. was
born in Providence, R.I., on July
20, 1933. Mr. McCarthy 4 by some
accounts, Cormac was an old fam-
ily nickname 4 grew up in Knox-
ville, where his father worked for
the Tennessee Valley Authority
and became the federal power
utility9s top lawyer.
The family settled in a 10-room
home surrounded by fish ponds
and rock gardens, not far from
woods, caves and creeks where
Mr. McCarthy would fish and
hunt as a boy, acquiring animal
hides that he and one of his
brothers sold downtown.
From a young age, he rebelled
against his upper-middle-class
upbringing. <I was not what they

had in mind,= he said of his par-
ents. <I felt early on I wasn9t going
to be a respectable citizen. I hated
school from the day I set foot in
it.=
Mr. McCarthy graduated from
parochial school, enrolled at the
University of Tennessee, dropped
out and joined the Air Force.
While stationed in Alaska, he be-
gan reading obsessively, drawn to
the novels of Melville, Dostoevsky
and Faulkner. He returned to the
University of Tennessee in 1957
and dropped out again three
years later to focus on writing
what became his first novel, <The
Orchard Keeper= (1965).
The book followed the inter-
locking stories of a hermetic old
man, a rebellious young moon-
shiner and a mink-trapping child
in rural Tennessee, and it received
a first-novel award from the Wil-
liam Faulkner Foundation. (He
and Faulkner, who died in 1962,
shared an interest in Southern
folkways; they also happened to
have the same editor, Random
House9s Albert R. Erskine Jr.)
By the time <The Orchard
Keeper= was published, Mr. Mc-
BeowuLf sHeeHan/penGuIn Random House
Carthy was married and divorced
from his first wife, poet Lee Holle-
man McCarthy, with whom he
had a son, Cullen.
Decades later, her obituary in
the Bakersfield Californian said
that she filed for divorce when Mr.
McCarthy asked her to <get a day
job so he could focus on his novel
writing,= even though she was
already <caring for the baby and
tending to the chores of the
house.=
The abandonment of a child
kicked off the plot of Mr. McCar-
thy9s second novel, <Outer Dark,=
which he wrote while living on
the Spanish island of Ibiza with
his second wife, Anne De Lisle, a
British singer. They met while he
was traveling to Europe on an
American Academy of Arts and
Letters fellowship, and they later
moved near Knoxville, where Mr.
McCarthy gradually converted an
old dairy barn into a home.
<We lived in total poverty,= De
Lisle told the Times. <We were
bathing in the lake. Someone
would call up and offer him
$2,000 to come speak at a univer-
sity about his books. And he

would tell them that everything
he had to say was there on the
page. So we would eat beans for
another week.=
They separated in 1976, around
the time Mr. McCarthy moved to
El Paso, fascinated by the land-
scape and mythology of the West.
After setting his previous nov-
els in eastern Tennessee, he began
crisscrossing the Texas-Mexico
border, studying the landscape in
preparation for westerns such as
<Blood Meridian.= His follow-up,
<All the Pretty Horses,= followed
16-year-old cowboy John Grady
Cole, who rides to Mexico after
learning that his family is selling
its Texas ranch. The novel was
adapted into a 2000 movie star-
ring Matt Damon and was the
first installment in Mr. McCar-
thy9s Border Trilogy, which con-
tinued with <The Crossing=
(1994) and <Cities of the Plain=
(1998).
8Your future gets shorter9
Although Mr. McCarthy main-
tained a reputation as an unusu-
ally single-minded author, plug-
ging away at his novels without a
care for their commercial pros-
pects, he also wrote for film and
television, penning the screen-
play for Ridley Scott9s crime thrill-
er <The Counselor= (2013). One of
his unsold screenplays inspired
the Border Trilogy; another
evolved into <No Country for Old
Men,= about the aftermath of a
drug deal gone wrong.
Mr. McCarthy also wrote two
plays, <The Stonemason= (first
performed in 1995) and <The Sun-
set Limited= (2006), which he
adapted into an HBO movie. The
2011 film starred Samuel L. Jack-
son as Black, an ex-convict and
born-again Christian who tries to
dissuade White (Tommy Lee
Jones, who also directed) from
suicide.
The play9s central tensions 4
between hope and despair, faith
and unbelief 4 were also at the
fore in <The Road,= about a father
and son trying to keep moving
through a violent, ash-covered
world. Describing the unnamed
father, Mr. McCarthy wrote: <He
knew only that the child was his
warrant. He said: if he is not the
word of God God never spoke.=
The novel was dedicated to
John McCarthy, Mr. McCarthy9s
son from his third marriage, to
Jennifer Winkley.
<A lot of the things that the kid
[in the book] says are things that
John said,= Mr. McCarthy told the
Journal. <John said, 8Papa, what
would you do if I died?9 I said, 8I9d
want to die, too,9 and he said, 8So
you could be with me?9 I said, 8Yes,
so I could be with you.9 Just a
conversation that two guys would
have.=
In addition to his two sons, Mr.
McCarthy is survived by a broth-
er; two sisters; and two grandchil-
dren.
By the early 2000s, Mr. McCar-
thy was spending much of his
time at the Santa Fe Institute,
where he served as a kind of
artist-in-residence, chatting with
researchers and helping edit their
work for publication. He found
scientists far more interesting
than writers, he said, and drew on
his time there to write what was
apparently his first nonfiction
piece, a 2017 essay for the science
magazine Nautilus, in which he
examined the relationship be-
tween language and the uncon-
scious.
His scientific interests seeped
into his last two books, <The
Passenger= and <Stella Maris,= in-
tertwined novels that were pub-
lished within weeks of each other
in 2022. The books focused on
two siblings, a math prodigy and
her salvage-diver brother, with an
incestuous attachment and a fa-
ther who helped develop the
atomic bomb.
Both novels received mixed re-
views, although critics praised
Mr. McCarthy for trading his usu-
al mythic characters for more
ordinary-seeming people, includ-
ing what for him was a rare
female protagonist.
Mr. McCarthy declined to talk
about the books after they were
published, but he was known to
have been working on the novels
for more than a decade, fueled by
a recognition of his advanced age.
<Your future gets shorter and
you recognize that,= he said in
2009. <In recent years, I have had
no desire to do anything but work
and be with John. I hear people
talking about going on a vacation
or something and I think, what is
that about? I have no desire to go
on a trip. My perfect day is sitting
in a room with some blank paper.
That9s heaven. That9s gold and
anything else is just a waste of
time.=

treat Williams, 71
Actor known for roles as hippie leader in 8Hair,9 widower dad in 8Everwood9
FROM STAFF REPORTS
AND NEW SERVICES
Treat Williams, an actor whose
nearly 50-year career included
starring roles in the TV series
<Everwood= and the 1979 movie
musical <Hair,= died June 12 after
a motorcycle crash in Vermont,
state police said. He was 71 and
lived in Manchester Center, Vt.
An SUV was turning left into a
parking lot when it collided with
Mr. Williams9s motorcycle in the
town of Dorset, according to a
statement from the Vermont
State Police. He was thrown from
the motorcycle and suffered criti-
cal injuries despite wearing a
helmet. He was flown to a hospi-
tal in Albany, N.Y., where he died.
Richard Treat Williams was
born in Stamford, Conn., on
Dec. 1, 1951, and grew up in
Rowayton, Conn. His father was
an executive at Merck chemical.
He graduated in 1969 from the
private Kent School in Connecti-
cut and in 1973 from Franklin &
Marshall College in Lancaster,
Pa., by which point he had
amassed a long résumé in com-
munity, college and summer
theater.
After college, he appeared on
Broadway as an understudy for
the Danny Zuko role in the musi-
cal <Grease= and also was in the
1974 musical <Over Here!= star-
ring the Andrews Sisters.

Nature was New Age pianist9s muse
BY B RIAN M URPHY
George Winston, a pianist and
composer whose unadorned mel-
odies sought to evoke seasonal
rhythms of nature and became a
signature style of New Age music
in the 1980s with popular albums
such as <Autumn= and <Decem-

Pa. He was 74.
His death was confirmed by his
publicist, Jesse Cutler. Mr. Win-
ston had various forms of cancer
and underwent a bone-marrow
transplant a decade ago for a
blood-related disorder. He lived
in the San Francisco area and was
staying in Williamsport near his
tour manager.
Mr. Winston released more
than 15 albums 4 selling more
than 15 million copies 4 over a
five-decade career of mainly in-
strumental compositions he
called <folk piano,= containing el-
ements of jazz and blues that
were pared down into looping
melodies and tumbling arpeg-

Economist highlighted race
in a ûght against inequities
BY S TEVEN G REENHOUSE
Spurred by the murder of
George Floyd by Minneapolis po-
lice in May 2020, economist Wil-
liam E. Spriggs wrote an open
letter to his peers castigating
them for making too many as-
sumptions to explain racial dis-
parities in America9s economy.
Dr. Spriggs, an economics pro-
fessor at Howard University and
chief economist for the AFL-CIO
labor federation, noted that far
too many economists assume
<that African Americans are infe-
rior until proven otherwise.=
He rebuked many economists
for ignoring systemic issues and
refusing to accept that racial
discrimination, and not differ-
ences in skill or ability, often
fueled inequities in jobless rates
and wages for Black Americans.
As evidence, he noted that <the
unemployment rate for Black as-
sociate degree holders is so often
at the level of White high school
dropouts, and their pay is barely
equal to that of White male high
school graduates.=
Dr. Spriggs, who was widely
known for his fervor in fighting
for racial and economic justice,
died June 6 at a hospital in
Reston, Va. He was 68.
Howard University and the
AFL-CIO announced his death,
which occurred after a stroke.
In a statement, President
Biden called Dr. Spriggs <a tower-
ing figure in his field, a trailblazer
critical breakthrough as a hippie
leader in <Hair.= The part led to
several featured and leading
roles in bigger-budget Holly-
wood movies, such as Steven
Spielberg9s comedy <1941= (1979)
and the gritty police whistleblow-
er drama <Prince of the City=
(1981).
Other significant supporting
and leading roles followed, nota-
bly in the well-reviewed <Once
Upon a Time in America= (1984)
and <Smooth Talk= (1985), but
musical current that gained force
in 1980s. The New Age sound 4
an ethereal and mood-heavy
genre that brought up associa-
tions with meditation and spir-
ituality 4 had emerged from the
West Coast and moved into wider
audiences through musicians
such as Greek composer Yanni
and Irish singer-songwriter Enya.
Mr. Winston was quickly em-
braced by the New Age music
scene.
Music reviewers often found
Mr. Winston 4 and New Age
music in general 4 a choice tar-
get, however. <The stuff is strictly
nonstick, audio Teflon,= wrote
New York Times music critic Jon
Pareles in a 1987 essay on New
Age music. After the release of Mr.
Winston9s 1999 album <Plains,=
Mike Joyce, writing in The Wash-
ington Post, described Mr. Win-
ston as a specialist in <sleepy
tempos and for fashioning ar-
rangements that iron out nearly
all harmonic wrinkles.=
Mr. Winston acknowledged
that his uncomplicated approach
left him open to criticism. <One
person9s punk rock is another
person9s singing 8Om9 or playing
harp,= he told the Santa Cruz
Sentinel in 1982. <It9s all valid 4
who challenged the field9s basic
assumptions about racial dis-
crimination in labor markets, pay
equity, and worker empower-
ment. His work inspired count-
less economists, some of whom
work for our Administration, to
join him in the pursuit of eco-
nomic justice.=
Dr. Spriggs often seemed like a
whirlwind and contradictory fig-
ure. He was a serious academic
and a committed political activ-
ist. He told African American
groups that they needed to care
more about struggling workers,
and told unions they should do
more to fight for racial justice.
<Bill insisted that the labor
movement understand that eco-
nomic and racial justice could
not be separated,= said Damon
Silvers, the AFL-CIO9s former pol-
icy director and now senior advis-
er.
Dr. Spriggs conducted studies
about the higher unemployment
rate for Black workers and how
the failure to raise the federal
minimum wage has dispropor-
tionally hurt workers of color.
<People forget what Black
means,= he said in 2020. <It9s a
category created to make a set of
people who we could legally dis-
criminate against. It9s one of the
more disturbing things about the
American economy.=

Obama administrations as well
as for Congress9s Joint Economic
Committee and was on the staff

few gave Mr. Williams a major
career boost. He also appeared in
an earnest 1984 ABC-TV movie
version of the Tennessee Wil-
liams melodrama <A Streetcar
Named Desire= as Stanley Kowal-
ski to Ann-Margret9s Blanche
Dubois.
Over the years, Mr. Williams
appeared in dozens of television
shows but was perhaps best
known for his starring role from
2002 to 2006 in <Everwood= on
the WB network. He played a
everybody9s got their own path. I
wouldn9t want to sit around and
listen to me all day.=
He scoffed, too, at notions that
his work was embedded with a
spiritual dimension. <I just play
the songs the best I can, inspired
by the seasons and the topogra-
phies and regions & and try to
improve as a player over time,= he
wrote on his website.
The evolution of what Mr. Win-
ston called his <rural sensibility=
began with music far removed
from prairies and woodlands. He
had abandoned piano lessons as a
teenager and then came across
the pulsating organ and keyboard
style of the Doors9 Ray Manzarek
in 1967. <I had to start playing
organ,= Mr. Winston said.
He studied recordings of jazz
organists such as Jimmy Smith.
He went back to piano to dive into
the stride and boogie-woogie
verve of masters including Fats
Waller and Professor Longhair
(Roy Byrd). In stride playing, the
left hand moves between bass
and chords while the right hand
plays the improvisation.
<My approach is entirely North
American, rather than Euro-
pean,= Mr. Winston said, <and I

of nonprofit groups and think
tanks, including the National Ur-
ban League and the Economic
Policy Institute. He also juggled
demanding roles as AFL-CIO
chief economist and professor at
Howard, running from teaching
classes to testifying before Con-
gress to speaking to Federal Re-
serve officials.
<He did all this stuff for his
students, while still being the
voice of labor unions and work-
ers,= said Omari Swinton, chair-
man of Howard9s economic de-
partment. <He advocated for
Black people, and he advocated
for those who he thought were
not treated fairly, for people who
weren9t getting a living wage.=
Dr. Spriggs bridged the eco-
nomic establishment and the
world of activism. He once went
to Jackson Hole, Wyo., to attend
LEvy/Ap
widowed brain surgeon from
Manhattan who moves with his
two children to the Colorado
mountain town of that name.
In addition to theater work,
Mr. Williams also had a recurring
role as Lenny Ross on the CBS
show <Blue Bloods.=
In 1988, he married Pam Van
Sant, with whom he had two
children. A complete list of survi-

George Otis Winston III was
born in Hart, Mich., on Feb. 11,
1949, and was raised in Mississip-
pi, Florida and Montana. His fa-

mother was an executive secre-
tary.
He said his affinity for nature
began as a boy in eastern Mon-
tana, where the family home had
no television reception and could
get one radio station. <The sea-

William Edward Spriggs was
born in Washington on April 8,
1955, and grew up mostly in
Norfolk. His father was a fighter
pilot with the Tuskegee Airmen,
the all-Black World War II unit,
and later became a physics pro-
fessor at what is now Norfolk
State University, a historically
Black school. His mother was a
schoolteacher.
Dr. Spriggs graduated in 1977
with a bachelor9s degree in eco-
nomics and political science from
Williams College in Massachu-
setts. He received a doctorate in
economics from the University of
Wisconsin in 1984; a fellow grad-
uate student, Lawrence Mishel,
said Dr. Spriggs was the only
African American among roughly
150 graduate students in eco-
nomics at the time.
Dr. Spriggs did an unusual
amount of fieldwork for his dis-
sertation on the accumulation of
wealth by African Americans in
Virginia between 1900 and 1914.
He visited courthouses across the
state to track down land and
family records. Early in his ca-
reer, he taught economics at the
historically Black institution
North Carolina A&T State Uni-
versity and at Norfolk State.
In 1985, he married Jennifer
Dover. Survivors include his wife
and a son, William T. Spriggs,
both of Great Falls, Va.; and two
sisters.
Dr. Spriggs took a hiatus from
academia to work for the Eco-
nomic Policy Institute, a Wash-
ington-based progressive think
tank, from 1990 to 1993. Over the
next decade, he also was in and
out of government posts, includ-
ing at the Commerce Department
and the Small Business Adminis-

said, recalling how he jumped
into piles of leaves in the fall and
made snow angels in the winter
drifts. In 2004 he released the
album <Montana 4 A Love Story.=
He attended Stetson University
in DeLand, Fla., but left before
finishing his degree. In 1996 he
released <Linus and Lucy: The
Music of Vince Guaraldi,= a trib-
ute to the jazz pianist behind the
soundtracks to the <Peanuts= car-
toon specials, and he paid hom-
age to the Doors with <Night
Divides the Day= in 2002.
At concerts, he would some-
times surprise audiences by play-
ing the guitar or harmonica. (In
2012 he released <George Win-
ston: Harmonica Solos.=) At New

he invited audience members to
come onstage to dance to one of
Guaraldi9s pieces from 19659s <A

Survivors include a sister.
Mr. Winston9s musical image
was serene. But he described an
after-concert bash in Warsaw as
one of his best nights. He chan-
neled his New Orleans idol, Pro-
fessor Longhair.

experience,= Mr. Winston told
Downbeat magazine in 1986.

He once said his most trea-
sured possession comes from
that period: a letter from Sen.
Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.)
thanking him for working on the
minimum-wage increase in 1995,
with Kennedy9s signature on the
copy of the Senate roll call vote.
From 1998 to 2004, he was
executive director of the National
Urban League9s Institute for Op-
portunity and Equality. In 2005,
he became chairman of Howard9s
economics department and, from
2009 to 2012, he served as assis-
tant secretary of labor for policy
under President Barack Obama.
He then returned to Howard.
As a mentor, especially to
Black men and women, Dr.
Spriggs often gave inspirational
talks about the influence eco-
nomics can have to change the

<For Bill, as accomplished as

worked with him, he used to tell
me that I was his retirement

could go into retirement and not
worry about what was happening
in the field of economics and the
fight for racial and economic
justice because he would be com-
fortable knowing there will be
others to carry on his work.=

Dick, affectionately known as such, was

genuine nature was a rarity in today9s world,

friendships wherever he went. He had a

enjoyed engaging in activities that kept him
active and challenged. Pickleball, football,
racquetball, golf and tennis were among
his favorite hobbies, and he embraced the
camaraderie and competitiveness that
came with each sport. Richard9s passion for
athletics extended beyond the recreational
level; he often encouraged others to lead
active lifestyles and appreciated the values

Outside Miami courthouse, Trump supporters vehemently stand by their man

BY J ESÚS R ODRÍGUEZ
MIAMI 4 Lazaro Ecenarro be-
lieves Donald Trump is guilty of
something. But it has nothing to
do with the Espionage Act.
<In a way, I blame him for
being in this mess,= said Ecenar-
ro, a Miami native in his late 40s.
<When you appoint two corrupt
attorney generals 4 Bill Barr and
Jeff sessions 4 well, you create
your own demise.=
He was sitting on a granite
block under a buckeye tree out-
side the federal courthouse in
downtown Miami, a sand-
colored Jansport backpack at his
feet, a neon-green hospital
bracelet on his right wrist, an eye
patch from recent surgery for a
blown-out cornea over his left
eye. Trump9s old attorneys gener-
al were gone from the Justice
Department well before Trump
left office 4 let alone took sensi-
tive government documents to
Mar-a-Lago 4 but in Ecenarro9s
eyes, they were part of the Muel-
ler-Page-strzok-Clinton-Biden
cabal. But the indictment had to
do with corruption and corpora-
tions and following the money,
he said, and he was certain
Trump9s alleged crimes were
<fabricated.= so he had arrived a
full 24 hours before Trump9s
appearance in federal court here
Tuesday, to line up for a chance
to watch the proceedings in per-
son, to see the process play out.
<If they can do it to him, then
that means they can do it to
anybody,= Ecenarro said the next
morning, around 8 a.m. <obvi-
ously,= he noted warily, <they
have sinister intentions.= Mo-
ments later, he was escorted with
a throng of journalists into the
courthouse.
It9s a rhetorical nail that
Trump and his supporters have
hammered for a while: that the
prosecution of the former presi-
dent 4 for alleged acts that
average citizens couldn9t even
commit if they wanted to 4
signifies not just a political
threat to Trump but also a per-
sonal threat to his supporters.
<In the end, they9re not coming
after me,= he said in a speech
following his indictment last
week. <They9re coming after
you.=
Among the hundreds who
showed up to support Trump in
the 90-degree heat 4 enough to
make their presence felt in the
plaza around the courthouse,
though not the <5,000 to 50,000=
police were expecting 4 the
message seemed to have seeped
through.
<Do you have millions of dol-
lars to hire the lawyers he got?
no? so they can bring any charg-
es against you,= said Louis Medi-
na, a retired Miami native who
was clutching a bullhorn in a
wheelchair, covering his legs
with a Trump flag, around
10 a.m.

Aaron Krause, chief executive
of the sponge company scrub
Daddy, has not wiped away one
second of his 90-minute <shark
Tank= pitch from his memory. In
2012, he stood under the televi-
sion show9s stage lights, sweating
as he prepared to fire off his
business plan after months and
months of phone calls and audi-
tions.
He spoke to the reality TV
program9s investors, or sharks,
about his business, seeking
$100,000 in exchange for 10
percent of his company. He
dipped sponges in water. He
scrubbed down hard-to-clean
surfaces. He cleaned sauce off a
counter.
Krause9s rapid-fire presenta-
tion sparked a bidding war be-
tween investor Kevin <Mr. Won-
derful= o9Leary, Fubu founder
Daymond John and <Queen of
QVC= Lori Greiner. It was Grein-
er who won Krause9s signature.
They hugged and smiled. Krause
gleefully walked offstage, later
telling the cameras it was a
<dream come true.=
soon after, aspects of the
agreement changed, Krause said,
without disclosing specifics. But
he was clear that the deal he had
made on TV wasn9t what he had
ended up with. scrub Daddy is
now a <shark Tank= success story,
earning $670 million in retail
sales over the past 10 years,
Krause said in an interview on
the show.
Winning on <shark Tank,=
which was renewed for its 15th
season in May, can appear like an
example of the American Dream:

Controversies aren9t hurting Wallen on the country charts
WAllen from C1
protests for racial equality that
took over the country in its after-
math, faced a swift but short-
lived corporate reprimand when
he was briefly dropped from ra-
dio playlists and suspended by his
record label. The video barely
caused a blip in his popularity,
though; his legion of devoted fans
see him as someone who has
atoned, or think the incident was
overblown in the first place and
he has been unfairly maligned
because of his fame. others see
his surging popularity afterward
as another way that the majority-
White country music industry
tried to memory-hole an incident
in which one of its biggest stars
casually used the slur.
Wallen, with his catalogue
filled with upbeat, party-ready
drinking songs about life in a
small town, was never supposed
to be a lightning rod. Yet his
polarizing reputation combined
with massive sales means that he
now makes more headlines than
ever, and the extreme reaction to
him by fans and detractors only
amplifies each news cycle. The
pattern has continued recently
because of the events surround-
ing his current world tour.
In late April, on the fifth date
on the U.S. leg of the tour that was
scheduled to take him to sold-out
stadiums across the country
through the summer and fall,
Wallen enraged fans packed into
the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium
in oxford, miss., when he
scrapped a planned appearance
mere moments before he was set
to take the stage. A statement on
the stadium9s giant screens said
Wallen <lost his voice and is un-
able to perform.= Two weeks later,
Wallen posted an Instagram vid-
eo and explained that doctors at
the Vanderbilt Voice Center in
Nashville diagnosed him with vo-
cal fold trauma and told him to go
on vocal rest, which meant post-
poning six more weeks of shows.
<They told me that if I do this
the right way, I9ll get back to 100
percent. And they also said that if
I don9t listen and I keep singing,
then I9ll permanently damage my
voice,= Wallen said.
Wallen offered few details
about what happened, and ru-
mors ran wild. Now, members of
Wallen9s inner circle look to clari-
fy by speaking about events lead-
ing up to the postponement.
The issues started in march in
Australia where Wallen kicked off
the one Night at a Time Tour with
multiple sold-out arena shows,
Austin Neal, Wallen9s agent and
co-head of the Neal Agency, said
via email; according to Billboard,
the tour is on track to become the
highest-grossing country tour of
all time. While abroad, Neal said,
Wallen tore his lat (the latissimus
dorsi, a muscle in your back that
connects to arm movements). By
the time he returned stateside, he
was flying coast-to-coast to re-
ceive treatment while band re-
hearsals started. The night before
the first U.S. show in milwaukee
on April 14, Wallen was in re-
hearsals at the venue. While prac-
ticing his entrance at American
family field 4 he was supposed
to pop out from underneath the
stage 4 he was pushed out too
fast and reinjured his lat when he
landed the wrong way.
<He was in so much pain and
was torn because he needed time
to heal but he also had shows to
put on for huge crowds,= Neal

always end up with the rewards
that they expect, and agreements
with the sharks can fall through
after the cameras turn off.
<The exposure is just like a
launching pad,= Krause said. <It
could get you tossed right off the
boat, or it could launch you to the
moon. It9s kind of how you deal
with it.=
relationships with sharks can
sour, as recently seen with Al
<Bubba= Baker 4 a former con-
testant and the founder of Bubba
Q9s Boneless Baby Back ribs in
ohio 4 who alleges that he had a
<nightmare= business relation-
ship with John, the fubu found-
er. Baker9s family has criticized
John over social media, leading
to the <Shark Tank= investor
issuing a restraining order and
filing a lawsuit against them.
on each episode, business
owners propose a deal of what
they9re seeking from the sharks,
and the sharks bite back with an
offer of their own. Some inves-
tors want more stakes and
shares, while others want to offer
loans or credit instead of cash.
o9Leary notoriously requests
royalties in his deals. Sharks will
most often have a final offer, and
the business owner(s) will have
to decide whether to accept the

said. <morgan is a hard-working
guy, and he didn9t want to let his
fans, team or touring family
down, so he figured he9d just
change up his entrance and pow-
er through.=
In milwaukee, Wallen also told
his agent that <his voice was
feeling rough, which we now
know was vocal fold trauma,=
Neal said. <And his doctors also
thought it could have been relat-
ed to the strain of the lat injury 4
because one major thing out of
balance can affect things you
have no idea it will affect.= But
Wallen didn9t let on about how
bad he felt until four shows later
on April 22 in oxford, after his
first of two concerts at the ole
miss football stadium, Neal said.
Wallen made it through Satur-
day9s concert, but the worst-case
scenario happened the following
night.
In an Instagram apology the
next day, Wallen said he truly
thought he would be able to push
through up until showtime. <I
don9t think anyone really under-
stands how big of a weight that is
for any artist to have to make that
decision as in his case, just his
touring footprint alone is roughly
150 people, 250 if you include
opening acts and their personnel,
too,= Neal said. <He thinks a lot
about the fans, the folks that rely
on him for a living and the ripple
effects from any major decision.=
In the moment, fans were con-
fused and then furious. Clips of
the somewhat dramatic scene
started going around the inter-
net, especially when one attendee
posted a viral TikTok of a security
worker at the venue who claimed
that actually, Wallen was too
drunk to go onstage and had to be
carted away in an ambulance.
Given Wallen9s (well-earned and
often-proud) reputation as a par-
tyer, social media seized on this
rumor and ran with it.
offer. If they do, then it9s all
smiles.
And that9s where the real fun
begins, Cuban told The Washing-
ton Post. (ABC declined to com-
ment. Sony and mGm, which
also handle production on the
show, did not immediately re-
spond to requests for comment.)
once the two sides agree on an
offer, two things happen in the
studio, Cuban said. Presenters
will first meet with a studio
psychologist, who talks to them
about their experience on the
show. The details of those ses-
sions are withheld from the in-
vestors, Cuban said.
Each shark then has a <busi-
ness person= talk to the winners
about next steps, which include a
due diligence report that will
look at the company9s books and
<make sure all they said in their
pitch is actually true,= Cuban
said. After the final agreement is
inked, investors will begin hav-
ing phone calls and meetings, as
with any other investment part-
nership, Cuban said.
Agreements can fall through
once the stage lights dim. Some
contestants will back away be-
cause they wanted to use the
show as a commercial opportu-
nity, Cuban said, adding that
those business pitches probably
won9t air on television.
eZ Re
The next day, the security com-
pany released a statement saying
the employee9s claims were un-
true. This was reposted on Insta-
gram by Seth England, Wallen9s
manager and head of his record
label Big Loud, who added the
worker <made up an entire story
that was nowhere close to true.
Every detail was false,= and post-
ed a Pinocchio emoji.
<morgan gives so much of him-
self to his art and his fans, so to
see headlines and comments au-
tomatically recasting him as a
bad guy while perpetuating false
rumors with no factual basis has
been particularly tough to see,=
Neal said.
Wallen postponed the next
week of shows, and after resum-
ing the tour for a weekend in
florida, told fans that he was
officially on doctor-ordered vocal
rest to repair his voice (and men-
tioned the lat injury), and would
be postponing and rescheduling
six weeks of concerts. Wallen
posted on Instagram last week
that doctors have cleared him to
sing again; he9s scheduled to re-
sume the tour June 22 at Wrigley
field in Chicago.
hough Wallen9s fans decried
T the attempts to <cancel=
him in 2021, the plain truth
is that he was never canceled:
Within a few months, he was back
on the radio, and he has had
multiple No. 1 hits since and won
trophies at award shows. If any-
thing, his short timeout only
made the appetite for his music
more pronounced. Influential
country stars from Luke Bryan to
miranda Lambert have rallied
around him. <We9re very lucky to
have him in country music,= Eric
Church said in September when
introducing him during the tele-
vised ACm Honors, saying he had
seen Wallen <mature as an artist=
and <mature as a man.=
Mark Cuban, left, shakes hands with Ice Cream Canteen founder
Jordan Stern. <each shark does things their own way,= Cuban said.
Sharks may step away from
partnerships, too. A forbes sur-
vey of 112 former contestants on
the show revealed that about half
of the deals offered in Seasons 8
through 13 fell through. Sharks
often break away after finding
something wrong during the due
diligence phase, Cuban said.

The tone of infantilization
around Wallen in general has
irritated some in the industry,
where one criticism is that Wallen
hasn9t outwardly shown growth
or reflection. (When he was disin-
vited and then reinvited to <Sat-
urday Night Live= in late 2020
after violating covid safety proto-
cols, Wallen, age 27 at the time,
said, <I think I have some growing
up to do.=) After an apology state-
ment in february 2021, Wallen sat
for a <Good morning America=
interview with michael Strahan a
few months later where he said he
was <ignorant= in his use of the
slur and said he used in a <play-
ful= way to friends after a <72-
hour bender,= and then spent 30
days in rehab. But much of the
discourse afterward focused on
how Wallen stumbled over a
question about whether country
music had a race problem, and
then <liked= tweets that said the
segment was unfairly edited. He
has rarely publicly addressed the
incident since.
These criticisms frustrate Wal-
len9s collaborators who are aware
of the air of skepticism that fol-
lows the singer, and who say that
behind the scenes, he has worked
to educate and improve himself.

<embellish or leave out material

es, he added.
Cuban tries not to change his
deals unless something in the
due diligence reports comes up,
such as the amount of debt
uncovered after the fact, which
changes the value and economics
of a business, he said.

Calif.-based entrepreneur who
has become one of Wallen9s close
friends and fiercest defenders,
posted several Instagram stories
to his 36,000 followers that
slammed rumors that questioned
whether Wallen was really on
vocal rest, including date-
stamped text messages that
showed Wallen had been strug-
gling with throat pain since be-
fore the U.S. leg of the tour start-
ed.
<When you see things being
written about your friends 4
that9s like my little brother,
right?= Jones said in an interview,
adding that he <snapped= when
he read so much online specula-
tion. <really in my heart, I know
this dude. And watching him put
up with some of the stuff he has to
put up with, I just don9t think it9s
fair.=
Jones met Wallen in 2021 after
the TmZ video published, writing
on Instagram that Kid rock intro-
duced the two after an <unfortu-
nate incident.= (Jones wrote in the
caption that when Kid rock says
you have a problem, <then you
know something ain9t right.=) But
Jones added that Wallen was <tru-
ly remorseful.= He says now that
Wallen told him his goal was to be
a role model for his preschooler
<Each shark does things their
own way,= Cuban said.
Not all relationships between
sharks and business owners go
swimmingly. o9Leary reportedly
backed out of his agreement with
Vladislav Smolyanskyy of Pin-
block, a Lego competitor, which
sent the company into a down-
ward spiral, because it had been
preparing to meet demand with
o9Leary9s investment in mind,
forbes reported.
Then there9s Baker9s situation
with John. The barbecue restau-
rant owner9s daughter, Brittani,
has been sharing details of the
business partnership on social
media, claiming that John and
his team made misleading state-
ments to take over the business,
according to the Los Angeles
Times.
Zach rosenfield, a spokesper-
son for John, said Baker9s actions
have tried <to undermine a busi-
ness partnership and the legal
parameters they agreed to four
years ago.=
<Their belief that they can
unwind poor business decisions
through slanderous social media
posts and articles will no longer
be tolerated,= he added.
rosenfield said it is <impor-
tant to understand why a deal
might change after what you see
on the show= and pointed to an

son, and that he has seen the
singer take accountability, have
conversations with people who
reach out to him, and give far
more money to charity than the
public knows.
<He doesn9t talk about this
stuff because he9s not doing it so
he can redeem his image in the
public eye. That9s who he is as a
person,= Jones said. <I9m a firm
believer that people only know
what you tell them. & Well, he
doesn9t care about that. All he
cares about is being his authentic
self and helping as many people
as he can.=
Jones, who is mixed race, has
heard the skepticism, and he
knows some think it9s a Pr move
when they see him sitting next to
Wallen at the ACm Awards. <I9ve
never gotten a check from mor-
gan, I9ve never gotten a check
from his label,= Jones said. <I9m
his friend.=
Ultimately, country music fans
are the ones who have been keep-
ing Wallen as a regular presence
at the top of the charts 4 which
despite his controversial history,
isn9t surprising, said r.J. Curtis,
executive director of the Country
radio Broadcasters, who worked
in radio for 30 years. (<Last
Night= has a multiweek No. 1
reign on the country airplay
charts, with Wallen9s next single,
album title track <one Thing at a
Time,= also in the Top 10.) Even
before the 2021 racial slur, Wallen
was the subject of controversy. In
2020, he was arrested and ac-
cused of public intoxication and
disorderly conduct, and then sev-
eral months later he was disinvit-
ed from SNL.
Ever since the outlaw country
days, many listeners in the format
have been <enchanted= by male
stars who misbehave, Curtis said.
He9s noticed that the new crop of
singers starting to emerge with
radio hits are more unpolished,
<rough-edged= singer-songwrit-
ers, such as Zach Bryan and Har-
dy, with Wallen leading the
charge. And it9s connecting with
the fans who sell out arenas and
stadiums, where they see him as a
relatable peer.
<It9s beyond someone singing
songs and people listening,= Cur-
tis said, noting that Wallen9s
crowds seem to treat the concerts
with religious reverence. <It9s an
experience.=
Curtis said the impulse among
many in Nashville, himself in-
cluded, is to root for Wallen,
especially because he9s breaking
into the mainstream and bring-
ing so much success to the genre.
But in conversations with people
in town, he said, he9s heard some
wonder about Wallen9s tendency
to self-sabotage and his ability to
handle the pressure of fame, and
that he needs to <get out of his
own way.=
Although <there9s going to be a
mark on him for a long time= after
the TmZ video, Curtis said, it
could ultimately become a foot-
note as his profile grows and he
learns from his mistakes: <It feels
too big to fail.=
That is the goal of Wallen9s
team as they try to refocus the
narrative on Wallen9s present
rather than his past 4 and the
singer9s devotees are eager to do
the same.
<Low refund rates and high
streaming numbers,= Neal said
when asked about the feedback
Wallen has been receiving during
his vocal rest. <morgan Wallen
fans support him.=
Instagram post from John, who
compared making an offer on
<Shark Tank= to shopping for a
house: You see a house, you
check it out, you put a bid on it.
But then you do some appraisals
and reports to find out the true
value.
Leaving a shark investor un-
convinced can lead to success,
too. The creators of ring, the
security system and camera com-
pany, pitched their business idea
on <Shark Tank= under the name
Doorbot in 2013. The sharks
turned the company down. The
exposure brought success years
later, leading to ring founder
Jamie Siminoff appearing on the
show as a shark five years later.
Siminoff declined to comment
for this article.
rob merlino, writer of the
frequently updated Shark Tank
Blog, has seen his fair share of
<Shark Tank= episodes. He has
chatted with winners, losers and
shark investors about their suc-
cesses and failures before and
after they appeared on televi-
sion.
Sometimes, the sharks make
out like bandits. other times,
winners blow the money, or they
walk away with millions.

the place,= he said. <Some deals

Host Pat Sajak and Vanna White9s turn at the wheel almost didn9t happen
BY T IMOTHY B ELLA
When <Wheel of fortune=
came back from a commercial
break, Pat Sajak believed he was
saying goodbye to the daytime
fans who made him bigger than
he ever could have imagined. The
former local weatherman, hand-
picked from obscurity to host the
game show against the wishes of
network executives, had already
become a household name.
As Sajak was leaving to host a
late-night show in early 1989, he
said the hardest part would be
not working as much with Vanna
White, a former model who was
not Sajak9s initial co-host choice
but whose style and smile
launched her to superstardom. To
show how much he was going to
miss his on-air partner, Sajak had
a plan for how he wanted to
spend the last 15 seconds of the
program: He wanted to kiss
White.
<Come here, baby,= Sajak said,
leaning in as White smiled and
laughed at the camera before
kissing him through more laugh-
ter.
The 12-second smooch was
only interrupted when merv Grif-
fin, the television mogul who
risked his career putting the pair
together, tapped Sajak on the
shoulder to humorously ask,
<What9s been going on here?=
Sajak and White wiped their lips,
and Griffin thanked Sajak for
saying it was <a pretty courageous
move= for the executive to fight
for him after NBC initially did not
want Sajak anywhere near the
show.
<I had no idea you were here,=
Sajak said, still surprised by the
kiss and Griffin9s presence. He
then joked, <I wouldn9t have said
those nice things.=
Sajak eventually returned to
<Wheel of fortune= on a full-time
basis after <The Pat Sajak Show=
flopped and reunited with White

osmany Estrada, 40, wrapped
in an American flag and a Cuban

came because he was glad to see
the legal system working. He had
long, flowing curls, and he
gripped a wooden stick, pacing

American flag sticking from its

time on network television. fans
are celebrating the duo and the
syndicated show after Sajak an-
nounced monday that the up-
coming 41st season of <Wheel of
fortune= would be his last.
<It9s been a wonderful ride, and
I9ll have more to say in the
coming months,= he tweeted.
<many thanks to you all.=
Sajak was honored in 2019 by
Guinness World records as hav-
ing the longest career as a game-
show host for the same program.
White was also honored by Guin-
ness World records in 2013 as
<most frequent clapper= after she
was estimated to have clapped
roughly 3.5 million times during
her run on <Wheel of fortune= to
that point.
But before Sajak and White,
there were Chuck Woolery and
Susan Stafford.
After <Jeopardy!,= the popular
quiz show created by Griffin, saw
its daytime version of the show
end in early 1975, the network
picked up another one of his
shows, <Wheel of fortune,= to
take its place.
<Both Chuck and Susie did a
fine job, and 8Wheel9 did well
enough on NBC, although it nev-
er approached the kind of ratings
success that 8Jeopardy!9 achieved
in its heyday,= Griffin said in
<merv: making the Good Life
Last,= an autobiography from the
2000s co-written by David Bend-
er.
The show, however, was about
to change. A contract dispute led
Woolery to leave <Wheel of for-
tune= in 1981 to go make <Love
Connection.= Griffin already had
an idea of who he wanted in there
4 and all he had to do was flip to
Sajak9s weather report on KNBC
in Los Angeles.
Griffin recalled to The Wash-
Retropolis
ington Post in 1986 that he liked
<Pat9s whimsical antics.=
<He had great charm. And he
was always playing practical
jokes,= Griffin told the New York
Times magazine in 1988. <In Cali-
fornia, how many cold fronts
from Canada can we have? I
remember once he came on with
a bandage over his right eye.
After a break, the bandage was
over the left eye. Pat never said a
word, just kept doing the weath-
er.=
But when he presented the
idea of Sajak taking over the show
to NBC executives, Griffin re-
called in his book that he got the
same answer: find someone else.
<No problem,= Griffin recount-
ed saying to the executives. <I9ll
just stop taping 8Wheel of for-
tune9 until Pat Sajak is the host.=
NBC relented, and Sajak took
over for Woolery in December
1981.
<Please do not adjust your sets
at home. Chuck Woolery has not
shrunk,= Sajak said in his first
episode. <. . . I9ve been fortunate
enough to wander onto the set of
a very successful program.=
There was a noticeable adjust-
ment period for Sajak, who had
used his humor to his advantage
in previous stops on Armed forc-
es radio in Vietnam and KNBC in
Los Angeles. It was Sajak9s first
week at <Wheel of fortune= when
a teen contestant was about to
solve a puzzle that obviously
spelled out <Abraham Lincoln.=
So when the contestant blurted
out that the puzzle was not the
16th president of the United
States but <Abraham Bincoln,=
Sajak explained to the studio
audience that Bincoln <was the
guy famous for doing the Bettys-
burg Address.=
<She just freaked or some-
thing. And I know she9s been in
trauma care since,= Sajak told the
Times. <I think I made things
worse. But I was new.=

Sajak, it didn9t take Griffin long to
pick out whom he liked.
<I walked in and just went, 8Her

lieve in our democratic process.
And I believe in the independ-
ence of our institutions.=
A day earlier, outside the near-
by Trump National Doral resort,
Chancy Blumenfrucht, a 59-
year-old Jewish woman from
Brooklyn, and her son took a
break from their vacation to
show their support for Trump,
along with 50 or so others.
Blumenfrucht rejected revenge
fantasies about destroying the
anti-Trumpers. But she was wor-
ried about what a successful
prosecution of the former presi-
dent would mean.
<If Trump ends up going to
jail,= she said, <I don9t even know
what would happen. I don9t even
4 it would be a civil 4 I don9t
even know, with the crazy people
out there.=
on Tuesday, if his supporters
were not going to get revenge, or
retribution, they were at least
going to repeat their well-trod
refrains. The crowd 4 which
included a multitude of Latinos
and <Blacks for Trump= 4 parad-
ed around talking to their com-
rades about the system and how
the country was really going
down now. They surrounded the
mexican American journalist
Jorge ramos, who frequently
challenged Trump while he was
in office, and chanted: <Traitor!
Traitor!=
The Proud Boys, whose lead-
ers were convicted of seditious
conspiracy this year in connec-
tion to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot,
seemed to have stayed away. A
bomb squad officer swept the
plaza, wearing a patch that read:
<SToP SCrEAmING - I9m
SCArED Too.=
While Trump was speaking,
his supporters massed behind a
phalanx of law enforcement offi-
cers. They chanted, <WE WANT
TrUmP!= and <LATINoS for
TrUmP!= After Trump pleaded
not guilty, his motorcade
whizzed off to Versailles, a land-
mark of the Cuban community
here.
In the middle of the crowd, a
short woman from Port Char-
lotte, fla., named mirmila Jitta
was holding a sign that said,
<TrUmP YoU ArE NoT ABoVE
THE LAW.= <Indict Biden!=
someone yells.
<They don9t even know Biden

later used in Playboy. White
moved to Los Angeles in 1980
with $1,000 to her name, she told
<CBS Sunday morning= in 2020.
When White was initially
picked by Griffin, she was one of
three women rotating as Sajak9s
co-host. Early on, Sajak did not
recommend White to be his per-
manent co-host.
<Vanna knows this,= Sajak told
CBS in 2020. <Not that she wasn9t
lovely and wonderful and person-
able and all that. But she was the
most nervous, by far, of any of
them.=
Although she had watched the
show for years, White recalled
years later how she had a hard
time speaking or walking because
of her nerves.
<I was probably the most ner-
vous because I wanted this job so
badly,= she told the Television
Academy foundation. <. . . I
thought, 8oh, I have blown this.9=
Those nerves went away, and
audiences took to her, Griffin
remembered in one of his last TV
interviews, according to You-
Tube9s Pioneers of Television.
<[reporters] said to me, 8Well,
why did you hire her?9 I thought,
8Well, that9s a dumb question,9=
Griffin said. <. . . I said, 8She knew
the whole alphabet.9=
White soon became a house-
hold name, with parents naming
their daughters after her. Sajak
once told The Post that <this
country is going to be full of
Vannas.= In her first appearance,
Sajak remarked how the show
had picked the best hostess possi-
ble, giving White the endorse-
ment she did not initially receive
in private.
<I am very excited and happy to
be part of 8Wheel of fortune,9= she
told Sajak.
Sajak jokingly replied, <This is
a family you will soon grow to
know and love 4 except for a
couple of the uncles we won9t talk

How can a teen worry As a former anxious and

doubting teenager, I will pass
along my own hard-earned
My advice for you is to
deliberately shorten your view.
For the rest of the summer,
will be moving out of state for
her new job.
The graduation party is now a

advance to travel. We came up
with different options.

less about the future? wisdom: Life unfolds in fits and

Dear Amy: I9ll be
Ask Amy a junior in high
Amy school in the fall.
Dickinson So far, high
school has been
bland. The only
excitement for me is the fact
that I9m going to Japan on a
school trip soon.
I want to attend an out-of-
state college, because I want to
have a fresh start. I want to have
some kind of friend group (I9m
an introvert), have a boyfriend
and attend parties (but I don9t
want to only party in college). I
have a hard time making
decisions, because I9m so
worried that whatever I choose
will be a bad decision and will
affect my future.
I tend to dwell on the future
rather than the present. I tend
to be very hard on myself, which
makes me feel as if I9m my own
worst enemy when it comes
to this stuff. I9m always worrying
about things instead of just
relaxing and <being a teenager.=
Other times, I feel as if I9m
behind in everything that
should happen to teenagers.
Sometimes, I just want to stop
trying, because nothing is going
right for me. But other times, I
want to keep going and try to
see what happens. What should
I do?
4 Doubting Everything in Life
Doubting Everything: Let me
start by assuring you that what
you are going through is very
much within the norm, not only
for teens, but also for people at
every stage of life.
starts, and anxiety doesn9t seem
to change the outcome. Looking
back, the only regrets I have are
those things I was too scared or
anxious to try.
Many teens are saddled with a
very short view of their own
futures. This is why the teen
years tend to be experimental,
but aside from the times when
poor judgment leads to
accidents, injury or pregnancy,
very few decisions you make
now will change the course of
the rest of your life.
College is not really the
experience you see portrayed in
the media. It will definitely
broaden your choices, but you
will still be yourself, with many
of the same questions, concerns
and insecurities. That is why it
is important for you to
understand that the only person
locking you into a specific future
is you.
promise yourself not to look
beyond the summer. This
overseas trip is an amazing
opportunity to live in the
moment and to form friendships
and connections. If you don9t
slow down your racing thoughts,
you will miss what is right in
front of you.
Researching Zen Buddhism as
practiced in Japan might help
you to comprehend that there is
no purpose in being somewhere
if all you are doing is thinking of
going somewhere else. Write
down these three words: Be here
now.
Dear Amy: We received an
invitation to a graduation party
for a very deserving young man.
Suddenly, one week before the
graduation party, we received a
Facebook invitation to an
<additional celebration.= The
graduate9s sister accepted a
promotion at her company and
dual party. Do we take a going-
away gift for the daughter? If
yes, what is an appropriate gift,
and how much should we
spend? We are already giving
$100 to the graduate.
4 Confused Friends
Confused: Adults who get job
promotions already have their
party gift: the promotion. If you
are close to this young woman
and want to celebrate her good
news, then you could give her a
coffee card for a modest amount.
(<Your first few brews in your
new home are on us!=)
Otherwise, I don9t think it is
necessary to give the sister
anything except your sincere
expressed delight and
excitement about her new
adventure.
Dear Amy: I had to share with
my co-workers the letter from
<Grateful Grandchild,= who
There was not a single person
who thought that this request
would be okay, which you very
delicately pointed out. (Too
delicately!) First, this grandchild
should look up the word
<inheritance.= It is something
left upon a person9s passing, not
before.
4 Working It
Working It: First of all, I love
hearing that these questions are
shared and discussed. And
although I am seldom accused of
being <too delicate,= I take your
point!

The Moon is in Taurus.
ARIES
(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).
This is a poor day to discuss
money, earnings or cash flow,
as well as expenditures related
to children, vacations or social

these topics will be particularly
touchy. Steer clear of them.
TAURUS
(APRIL 20-MAY 20).
FRAZZ JEF MALLETT CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL Once again, the Moon is in
your sign; however, today it is
at odds with Venus and Mars,
which is poor for socializing.
It makes dealings with others
a bit strained and possibly

Can Thoreau help

us rethink work?
BOOK WORld from C1
ing <resignation,= <machine
Work,= <meaningless Work,=
<Compensation= and <fulfilling
Work.= These titles evoke Thore-
au9s own writing in the <Econo-
my= chapter of <Walden= and in
his later essay <Life Without Prin-
ciple.= The authors share with
their 19th-century subject an en-
gaging style of everyday philoso-
phy that extrapolates big ques-
tions about a well-led life from
seemingly more practical con-
cerns: how to live frugally, to
make a living. The book also
resembles anthropologist David
Graeber9s <Bulls--- Jobs= 4 cited
in the bibliography of <Henry at
Work,= though not directly refer-
enced in the text 4 in its conver-
sational tone, as well as its ad-
mixture of philosophical mus-
ings and quasi-ethnographic in-
terviews with present-day
workers.
The book is at its best when it
guides readers through Thore-
au9s place in a longer philosophi-
cal history of work. The authors
patiently explain the concept of
<theodicy= 4 an account of <why
life (including work) sucks if
there is [a] God who cares about
us= 4 and explore how we might
compare Thoreau9s views of work
with the models of theodicy of-
fered by ancient Greek and ro-
man writers. This leads to a
clarifying discussion of differenc-
es between an 8th-century B.C.
work ethic represented by He-
siod9s <Works and Days= (work
hurts but is inevitable), a 1st-
century B.C. work ethic repre-
sented by Virgil9s <Georgics= with
which Thoreau aligns himself
pany, including at least one cita-
tion of a LinkedIn post, and
featuring interviews with the
likes of a billionaire real estate
investor and an investment bank-
er at Goldman Sachs, the book
absorbs a strangely corporate
outlook. Zoom meetings, flex
hours and company retreats are
hailed as opportunities for
<workers [to] find meaning and
growth= of which Thoreau would
approve. Notably, Kaag and van
Belle consider collective labor
only under the heading of <Co-
workers,= which frames the topic
not in terms of class solidarity
and bargaining power but of
something more like simple col-
legiality.
This illustrates the greatest
flaw of <Henry at Work=: It tends
to regard the problem of work as
one of attitude rather than one of
material conditions. The authors
encourage us to think <differently
about the work that [we] do,= to
<work out of love,= to see <one9s
work as self-expressive.= It is true

In their quest to acquit Thore-

ers. A sense of <vocation= is no
salve under such conditions. As
labor journalist Sarah Jaffe
warns in the title of her recent
book: <Work Won9t Love You
Back.=
It9s true that Thoreau, a Tran-
scendentalist, inherited idealist
tendencies from ralph Waldo
Emerson, who saw great power in
changing one9s perspective. But
Thoreau departed from his men-
tor by linking new ways of think-
ments shared the conviction that
society9s smooth functioning
must be interrupted to force
change. Good vibes don9t make a
good world in and of themselves,
and thinking better thoughts
about work by yourself won9t
make work better.
Some of the best recent schol-
arship and thinking on work
offers a mix of idealist and mate-
rialist approaches. Kaag and van
Belle might have attended to
Graeber9s claim that the prolifer-
argues that a shift in people9s
material circumstances 4 say,
the security provided by a univer-
sal basic income or a legislated
30-hour cap on the workweek 4
is necessary to create conditions
for better imaginations of work.
<Henry at Work= thus reads as
a depoliticized account of a deep-
ly political problem. The authors9
five <Thoreauvian command-
ments= overly domesticate Tho-
reau to the genre of the self-help
book. In the process, we lose sight
of the provocateur who may have
more in common with Paul Lafar-
gue, author of the satirical 1883
pamphlet <The right to Be Lazy=
(newly republished in 2022),
than he does with <a way of
orienting yourself to the daily
grind.= Nonetheless, this accessi-
ble and timely book has great
potential to urge more people to
see Thoreau not as a solitary
sluggard but as a resource for
thinking together about the fu-
ture of work, or a future after
work as we know it.
Nathan Wolff is an associate

university and the author of <Not

working on a new book that looks to
19th-century u.S. literature for

alternatives to, the American work

Mark stone9s hat trick to all-out
goal celebrations, capturing the
young organization9s first stanley
Cup with a 9-3 romp Tuesday
night over the beaten-up and ex-

Coach Bruce Cassidy, in a nod to
the Golden Knights9 brief history,
started five of the original Vegas
players known as the Misfits and
put the sixth on the second shift.
Cassidy sounded confident the
day before the game that his team
would play well, and it certainly
did, blowing open a one-goal
game in the second period to lead
6-1. The nine goals tied the record
for the most in a Cup finals game.

Twenty-three years ago, Dani Goldey
and then-girlfriend Meredith Kott were
enjoying a game at Dodger stadium. In
the fifth inning, Los Angeles Dodgers
pitcher Darren Dreifort hit his second
home run of the game, sending the crowd
into delirium at the unlikely event. Gold-
ey, a lifelong Dodgers fan, and Kott
embraced in celebration and kissed.
shortly thereafter, stadium security
personnel arrived. Goldey and Kott were
told that another fan had reported them
committing a <lewd= act and that, as a
result, they had to leave the stadium or
face trespassing charges. escorted by
security, Goldey and Kott were marched
past friends who happened to be standing
near the gates of a place that hours earlier
had always felt welcome.
<A group of people were offended by the
fact that I am a lesbian,= Goldey said in an
email to The Washington Post, <and the
Dodgers honored that group by removing

Tavita Pritchard has made a
career out of adjusting. sixteen
years ago, he was thrust into a
starting role as a redshirt sopho-
more quarterback, and two years
after that, he was back on
the bench, spelling a hotshot
sophomore. He has adjusted
dreams and adjusted to career
changes, and now, after spending
the entirety of his life out west,
he9s adjusting to the east Coast.
In February, the Washington
Commanders hired Pritchard, a
36-year-old former stanford
quarterback and assistant coach,
as their quarterbacks coach. He
has become one of the most im-
portant figures in the team9s of-
fensive transformation, which
again has required adjustment

Pritchard9s focus in Ashburn is

Allen cites unresolved issues for Diggs skipping practices

A SSOCIATED P RESS
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh
Allen declined to push the panic
button while explaining how un-
resolved issues stemming from
last season led wide receiver Ste-
fon Diggs to show his displeasure
by skipping the team9s start of
mandatory practices Tuesday.
Without going into full detail
into what exactly is eating at
Diggs, Allen listed getting the
team9s top receiving threat more
involved in the offense and having
more game-planning input as
among the player9s concerns.
The quarterback then placed
the onus on himself to do better in
what will be an ongoing attempt to
get the former maryland standout
back in the fold 4 and the sooner
the better for the Bills.
<This does not work, what we9re
doing here without him,= Allen
said following practice.
<I9ve got his back no matter
what, and I9ve got no doubt that
we will figure out what9s going on.
I love him. I can9t stress that
enough,= he added, emphasizing
his love for Diggs by using a pro-
fanity. <I think that there are some
things that could have gone better
last year and didn9t. I think as an
organization, maybe not commu-
nicating the right way with every-
thing.=
Allen said Diggs wants to re-
main in Buffalo, and the quarter-
back expressed confidence the dis-
pute will be resolved.
Distraction or not, Diggs9s off-
season-long absence 4 he also
skipped the team9s voluntary
spring workouts and practices 4
raises questions.
The disconnect went even fur-
ther before practice began when
Coach Sean mcDermott said he
was <very concerned= in announc-
ing Diggs would not be participat-
ing. What mcDermott left out, and
later was clarified by the team, was
Diggs being at the Bills9 facility
monday and Tuesday morning but
not, he said, when practice began.
Diggs9s agent Adisa Bakari, in a
message sent to the Associated
Press, disputed the timing of
Diggs9s departure by saying that9s
<not completely accurate,= sug-
gesting his client was still at the
team facility when practice began.
In a message sent to ESPN, Ba-
kari said Diggs spent the past two
days meeting with mcDermott
and General manager Brandon
Beane and <will be there for the
entirety of camp.=
The development comes as a
surprise after Beane said last week
that he expected all 90 players 4
including Diggs 4 to be in attend-
ance this week.
Diggs is entering his fourth sea-
son in Buffalo and last summer
was rewarded with a four-year,
$96 million contract that kicks in
this season.
The two sides agreed to restruc-
ture the contract this spring in
allowing the Bills to free up salary
cap space. The way the contract
was restructured would make it
very difficult for the team to trade
or cut Diggs.
Since being acquired in a trade
with the minnesota Vikings in
march 2020, the 29-year-old has
been one of the NfL9s most pro-
ductive receivers by recording 365
catches for 4,189 yards and 29
touchdowns 4 one fewer than he
had in minnesota 4 in his three
seasons in Buffalo.
l JeTs: New York signed for-
mer Green Bay Packers safety
Adrian Amos to a one-year deal.
The 30-year-old Amos becomes
the latest former Packers player to
head to New York, including quar-
terback Aaron rodgers.
The deal is reportedly worth as
much as $4 million.
l CHIeFs: All-pro defensive
tackle Chris Jones, who is entering
the final year of his contract, was
absent from the start of the Super
Bowl champions9 mandatory
three-day minicamp.
If it is unexcused, Jones could
be fined as much as $98,753 under
terms of the collective bargaining
agreement.
l PaTrIoTs: New England re-
leased running back James robin-
son and defensive back Tae Hayes.
robinson9s release came as a
surprise after the team signed the
former Jet to a two-year contract
with a base salary of $4 million. He
was expected to be a potential
replacement for Damien Harris,
whom the team opted not to bring
back and who signed with Buffalo.

At 22, Pritchard helped coach Luck. Now, he9s helping shape the Commanders.
Commanders from d1
guys, and he9s doing a hell of a
job,= offensive coordinator Eric
Bieniemy said. <. . . He9s very intel-
ligent. I think he brings an energy
to that room.=
But Pritchard9s challenge is
steep. The Commanders have cy-
cled through eight starting quar-
terbacks over the past three sea-
sons, are overhauling their of-
fense to install Bieniemy9s West
Coast system and no longer have
the luxury of time. The franchise
is on track to be sold, rendering
this season a glorified tryout for
almost everyone involved.
The success of the team, which
will be dictated in part by the
success of its quarterback, could
decide many players9 and coach-
es9 futures. Pritchard9s job may
help determine the future shape
of the franchise.
During his 18 years at Stanford,
Pritchard played and coached in
the West Coast offense, devised by
Bill Walsh. That system, though it
has evolved, forms the basis of
Andy reid9s offense with the Kan-
sas City Chiefs, Bieniemy9s in
Washington and several others
across the NfL.
It9s a timing-based system,
with routes synced up to the quar-
terback9s drops, and generally
uses intermediate passes to
stretch the field horizontally. for
the past three seasons, Washing-
ton used Scott Turner9s version of
the Air Coryell offense, which has
some similar concepts but uses
different terminology and em-
phasizes stretching the field verti-
cally.
In the West Coast offense, some
play-calls can stretch to more
than 20 words, making it para-
mount that the quarterback mas-
ters the language before he can
run the system.
<This system, in its purest
form, tries to tell a lot of people
what to do,= Pritchard said.
<. . . You9re trying to visualize the
play as you9re calling it. That is a
big part of it. And then it9s just
practice. It9s like anything else.
It9s a language.=
The terminology can differ
from team to team, and Pritchard
has had to adapt to Bieniemy9s.
But Pritchard9s understanding of
the principles runs deep.
andrew Luck, left, won the stanford quarterback job over previous starter Tavita Pritchard in 2009.
<There are a lot of quarterbacks
that can9t visualize it but they can
play,= former Stanford coach Da-
vid Shaw said. <other quarter-
backs, they can visualize it 4 they
can just talk about the game with-
out film or without drawing
things on a board. And there are
other guys that can visualize it
and manipulate it. [Pritchard]
was one of those guys.=
Pritchard started his coaching
career in 2010, the year he
graduated, as a volunteer assis-
tant at Stanford. In 2011, he be-
came a defensive quality control
coach, working under Derek ma-
son, then the Cardinal9s defensive
backs coach and defensive coordi-
nator. Those early years assisting
the secondary afforded Pritchard
a robust understanding of the
offense, not just from the perspec-
tive of the quarterback but from
the standpoint of those trying to
pick it apart.
<football is learned differently
on either side of the ball,= Prit-
chard said. <Everything on de-
fense, we9re reacting to the of-
fense. We have to line up to their
formation; we go on their snap
count. So to have to learn it and
then teach it on that side, it9s
paying dividends even now, just
to be able to see it through that
lens.=
As Pritchard9s understanding
of the game and the offense grew,
so did his ability to teach.
<one of the first things that he
coached me on was just X9s and
o9s from the mind of a defensive
coordinator and explaining the
structures of the defense and
where all the pieces have to go,=
former Stanford quarterback
Kevin Hogan said. <. . . He really
just kind of simplified it and did a
good job of explaining it to some-
one that wasn9t all that comfort-
able with it at the time.=
From field to sideline
In 2007, Stanford was a 41-
point underdog against USC
when Pritchard, in his first career
start, led the Cardinal to a 24-23
victory, throwing for the winning
touchdown on fourth down with
49 seconds left.
<We have a big banner where
our football offices are, and it says
8the biggest upset in college foot-
MArcio JoSe SAnchez/ASSociAted PreSS
ball history,9 = said Tanner mcKee,
a former Stanford quarterback
drafted by the Philadelphia Ea-
gles this year. <So, yeah, we all
know about that.=
Pritchard started eight more
games that season and 12 in 2008.
In 2009, he lost the gig to a
redshirt freshman from Texas.
<I don9t know if you9ve heard of
this guy, but this scrub named
Andrew Luck beat me out. Can
you believe that?= Pritchard
joked. <I was relegated to the
bench and held a clipboard. But I
didn9t just hold a clipboard.=
The demotion essentially end-
ed Pritchard9s chance of making
the NfL as a quarterback, but it
opened an opportunity as a
coach. on game days, Pritchard
wore a headset.
<I refer to him as Andrew
Luck9s first quarterback coach,=
said Shaw, the Cardinal9s offen-
sive coordinator that season. <We
didn9t have anybody with that
title at the time. I worked with the
quarterbacks as the coordinator,
but Andrew trusted Tavita.=
Pritchard was drawn to the
sideline, much like his father, a
former Washington State center
who went on to coach high school
football. The same elements Prit-
chard loved about playing were
there in coaching: the crowd on
game day, the preparation, the
locker-room interactions, the
competition.
<You can really see which
coaches are like magnets,= Shaw
said. <They draw the guys to
them. It9s one thing to chase a
player, but it9s another thing for
the player to come to you. . . . They
trust him. They9re letting him in.
They9re responding to him giving
them direction. And as a head
coach, that9s what you9re really
looking for in your assistants.=
Trust and comfort
Pritchard spent five years as
Stanford9s offensive coordinator,
but he laid the foundation for his
future in the NfL long before that
as a defensive assistant. He met
Bieniemy, now his boss in Wash-
ington, through mason.
When Bieniemy became the
offensive coordinator at Colora-
do, he and Pritchard met up be-
fore a game and again at the NfL9s
annual quarterback coaching
summit, a days-long program
that helps spur opportunities for
minority coaches.
<I think I gave a talk on, like,
progression-based passing and
quarterback fundamentals, and I
remember [Bieniemy] hitting me
up,= Pritchard said. <We talked
quarterback play, we talked of-
fense, and then he just said, 8Hey, I
want to stay in touch.9 He had said
before, 8If I get an opportunity, I9d
love to consider bringing you
along.9 =
This spring, Pritchard spent
some of his first days with the
Commanders holed up at team
headquarters, learning the nu-
ances of Bieniemy9s offense and
poring over tape of his new play-
ers 4 especially Howell.
<Before we were able to meet
the guys and kind of get to know
them and their personalities, [I
tried to learn who they were] on
film,= Pritchard said. <I think one
of the things that has been most
impressive about Sam has just
been his mental approach and his
attitude, like how he9s come in
here. The kid9s a sponge. He wants
to learn. He wants to be great.=
The Commanders study a
heavy dose of Chiefs game tape 4
not to have Howell and Brissett
compare themselves with Patrick
mahomes or even Alex Smith but
to help them visualize the offense
with their own styles.
<That was the beginning, mid-
dle and end for Bill Walsh,= Prit-
chard said. <It wasn9t so much
how we call plays. It was: 8How do
we teach plays? . . . How do we
approach this in a way that9s
going to help these guys learn it so
that they9re experts in our sys-
tem?9 . . . I9m constantly asking
myself: 8How is this guy different
from this guy? How can I become
a better coach for this group of
people?9 =
In organized team activities
and minicamp, the Commanders9
quarterbacks wore microphones
in the huddle and at the line of
scrimmage, and Pritchard said he
has been able to use what he
learned from that in his coaching.
Already, he has noticed his young
quarterback is able to self-cor-
rect. one day in oTAs, Howell got
hung up on a part of his passing
progression instead of quickly
moving on to what was called.
When he encountered the same
look the next day, he didn9t repeat
the error.
Pritchard has said teaching
passing progressions is like teach-
ing a choreographed dance; the
movements are learned, and with
enough practice, they can breed
comfort.
<It9s not just like, 8oh, he9s not
open; let me look for the next
guy,9 = Pritchard said. <. . . Your
eyes have to move so fast as a
quarterback, so you can9t do any-
thing indecisively or kind of half-
heartedly. Everything has to be
with conviction through a pro-
gression, with your feet, with your
eyes, and then when it9s time to
rip it, you9ve got to . . . rip it. So it9s
giving him some trust and some
comfort.=
After the Commanders9 final
minicamp workout Thursday,
Coach ron rivera acknowledged
Howell is gaining comfort in the
offense and has <pretty much
shown us what we want to see.=
But the work is only beginning
for him and Pritchard, who wore
that burgundy-and-gold pullover
jacket for the first time in weeks.

Rangers hire former
Caps coach Laviolette
The New York rangers hired
Peter Laviolette as their next
coach, bringing in a seasoned
veteran with Stanley Cup-
winning experience to replace
Gerard Gallant.
The team announced the
selection of the former
Washington Capitals coach
Tuesday, putting the U.S.-born
leader in NHL coaching victories
in charge of the original Six
franchise.
<With Peter9s extensive
experience as a head coach in the
National Hockey League, as well
as the success his teams have had
at several levels throughout his
career, we are excited about what
the future holds with him leading
our team,= General manager
Chris drury said in a statement.
Laviolette replaces Gallant,
who mutually parted ways with
the rangers after their first-
round playoff exit. Gallant spent
two seasons behind the bench in
New York. The franchise last won
the Stanley Cup in 1994.
Laviolette, 58, coached the
Carolina Hurricanes to the
Stanley Cup in 2006 and took two
other teams to the finals: the
Philadelphia flyers in 2010 and
the Nashville Predators in 2017.
most recently, Laviolette spent
the past three seasons coaching
the Capitals, who made the
dI G E s T
playoffs and lost in the first round
each of the first two seasons
before missing this year amid a
bevy of injuries. Laviolette and
the team decided to go their
separate ways.
This is Laviolette9s sixth head-
coaching job in the NHL, after he
played his only 12 games in the
league for the rangers in 1988.
following one season as a Boston
Bruins assistant, the
massachusetts native coached the
New York Islanders before going
on to lead Carolina, Philadelphia,
Nashville and Washington.
Laviolette has presided over
752 regular season victories. . . .
A group led by Canadian
businessman michael andlauer
reached an agreement to buy the
ottawa Senators.
The team announced that
Andlauer and his group will
purchase 90 percent of the club
from the melnyk family. The deal
reportedly is worth nearly
$1 billion.
anna and olivia melnyk,
daughters of late former owner
eugene melnyk, will retain 10
percent interest. melnyk died in
march 2022 at age 62.
Andlauer, 57, is the founder
and CEo of a health-care group
with transportation options for
that sector and started a private
equity company based in Toronto.
He owned the American Hockey
League9s Hamilton Bulldogs from
2004 to 2015, then purchased the
ontario Hockey League9s
Belleville Bulls.
He has been alternate governor
for the rival montreal Canadiens
since purchasing a share of the
storied franchise in 2009.
Andlauer must sell his interest in
the Canadiens before his
purchase of the Senators is
complete, a process that also
includes being approved by the
NHL9s Board of Governors.
<I believe that the Senators9 fan
base is one of the most passionate
in the league, and I9m excited to
take the franchise9s success both
on and off the ice to the next
level,= Andlauer said. <The short-
and long-term future of the team
is incredibly bright.=

Sports can still enchant 4 just look at Djokovic and Taylor
Being the <get off
my lawn= guy that
I9ve become in my
dotage, it takes a
lot to get me as
giddy about
John sports as I once
Feinstein was.
And yet there I
was Sunday 4 twice 4 feeling
like the kid who got chills almost
anytime the Mets won a game,
shouting with real joy at the
television set.
Twice in the same day 4 even
though the Mets lost (again) to
fall further under .500 4 I had a
smile on my face: shortly after
noon and again at almost 8 p.m.
And to show you how wild
and crazy sports can be at their
best, the two guys who had me in
this state were a tennis player
who is arguably the best to ever
play his sport and a golfer who
not every golf fan had heard of
before Sunday.
Novak Djokovic, who won the
French Open for his record 23rd
Grand Slam title, has been a
polarizing figure for years. Some
of it wasn9t his fault. Roger
Federer and Rafael Nadal were
so popular among tennis fans
that, when Djokovic came along
to challenge them, he was often
cast as the villain.
He went beyond that during
the pandemic when he refused
to be vaccinated, ran a
controversial exhibition tour in
Serbia and Croatia that wasn9t
completed after multiple players
tested positive, was disqualified
from the U.S. Open after
accidentally hitting a
lineswoman with a ball he
slammed off his racket in disgust
and was kept from playing the
Australian Open and U.S. Open
in 2022 because he remained
unvaccinated.
Nick Taylor has never been
controversial. He9s a 35-year-old
Canadian golfer who has had a
solid career 4 three wins on the
PGA Tour after Sunday 4 but
was less well known than some
of the tour9s glamour caddies.
But there he was Sunday,
carrying the hopes and dreams
of Canada, dueling with English
Ryder Cup player Tommy
Fleetwood in a four-hole playoff
to decide the Canadian Open. A
Canadian had not won the
country9s national championship
since Pat Fletcher in 1954 4 69
years ago.
The closest a Canadian had
come to winning since Fletcher
was Mike Weir, who lost in a
playoff to Vijay Singh in 2004, a
year after he became the first
Canadian to win the Masters. A
few years later, Weir said he was
almost as disappointed to lose
that playoff as he was overjoyed
to win the Masters.
Weir was there Sunday,
watching with an intensity that
matched the look on his face
when he9s competing. And when
Taylor9s 72-foot eagle putt 4
that9s not a typo; it was 72 feet
6 inches, to be exact 4 went in
the hole, Weir and who knows
how many thousands of
Canadians joined in the
celebration.

Novak Djokovic took a selfie with fans at the French Open after winning his record 23rd major title and becoming the only man to win all four Grand Slams at least three times.
first to congratulate him was
Tom Brady: football9s GOAT
honoring tennis9s GOAT. Ruud is
an excellent player 4 he has
been in three of the past five
major finals 4 but after Djokovic
won a first-set tiebreaker 7-1, he
had no chance.
<It9s impossible to explain how
incredible you are,= Ruud said to
Djokovic during the awards
ceremony. <Another day, another
record for you.=
Ho-hum.
But there is nothing ho-hum
about Djokovic9s tennis or the
golden age he has played in. He,
Nadal and Federer have won 65
majors even while competing
against one another on a regular
basis. They are, almost without
argument, the three best players
of all time 4 although some
would hold out for Rod Laver,
who won the calendar Grand
Slam twice and retired with 11
major titles even though he was
being banned from the majors
for five years because he was a
<professional.=
Regardless, the Federer-
Nadal-Djokovic era has been
extraordinary. Nadal has won in
Paris 14 times but had to sit out
this year because of a hip injury.
He turned 37 this month and
hopes to come back to play one
more year. Djokovic, who turned
36 in May, shows no signs of
slowing down.
What is most underrated
about Djokovic is his mind.
<Bad 4 the first time we9ve
really been bad,= Thibault said of
his team9s defense. <Just got our
butts kicked 4 physically, on the
glass, in the paint. First time I felt
like we [didn9t bring] the neces-
sary effort from a physical stand-
point. At least not consistent.=
The Mystics have had stretches
of offensive struggles 4 and they
shot just 33.3 percent Tuesday 4
but they usually can lean on their
defensive strength. That proved
to be a problem against the Fever
(3-6), which had a 17-5 run in the
second quarter and a 13-1 jaunt in
the third. Washington sand-
wiched halftime with a 13-1 run
for a 45-41 lead, but that was as
good as it got for the visitors.
Delle Donne scored a team-
high 17 points and moved to
No. 30 on the WNBA9s all-time
scoring list, but she was the only
Mystics player in double figures.
Brittney Sykes finished with nine
points, six rebounds and four
assists.
For the first time this season,
Austin went without a double-
double for the second consecutive
game.
<Just felt like we would get like
a little glimpse of us and then it
would go away,= Delle Donne said.
<A lot of times it was a defensive
lapse, or we played great defense
and then we9d just give up a
putback 4 things that just crush
you. So, yeah, this is a frustrating
one.=
Boston wasn9t a one-woman
show for Indiana, which shot 47.1
Nick Taylor doffed his hat after making a putt of more than 72 feet
to become the first Canadian since 1954 to win the Canadian Open.
percent: Kelsey Mitchell poured
in 19 points and moved to No. 2 on
the Fever9s all-time scoring list.
Three other players had eight
points apiece.
<We just got outworked 4 it9s
as simple as that,= Sykes said.
<. . . It9s literally we either do it
and win or we don9t and we get a
result like you did today. We9ve
got to eat this one and get ready
for the weekend.=
Here9s what else to know about
the Mystics9 loss:
Delle Donne returns
Delle Donne returned after
missing Sunday9s win over the
Storm with neck tightness. She
said her neck had been bothering
her before this three-game trip
and the long journey to Seattle
didn9t help.
The two-time MVP compared
it to a kink in your neck that has to
be worked out but said the tight-
ness didn9t have anything to do
with the back issues that plagued
her over the previous three sea-
sons. Thibault said Delle Donne
was not under a minutes restric-
tion but he planned to monitor
his substitution patterns so she
didn9t sit too long and get stiff.
Delle Donne ended up playing
28 minutes 4 a bit below her
average of 32.3 coming in.
Rookie brings it
Boston was named rookie of
the month for May. She leads all
rookies in points, rebounds,
blocks and minutes per game. At

one point Tuesday, she bodied her
way through Austin for a layup,
then used a step-through for an-
other layup on the next posses-
sion.
Fever Coach Christie Sides
called Boston a special player
who has all the intangibles, but
one thing about her has surprised
the first-year coach.
<Her basketball IQ is what kind
of caught me off guard,= Sides
said. <. . . I really watched her for
several years and I knew it was
high, but I bet she could tell you
where everybody on the floor
should be at every position. And
for a post player, that9s really
special.=
Commissioner9s Cup update
Washington fell to 2-3 in Com-
missioner9s Cup games and sits
21/2 games back of first-place Con-
necticut. There is a $500,000
prize pool for the champion,
which does add some incentive,
the players said.
<It matters, for sure,= Atkins
said, <because of the prize money
that comes with the Commission-
er9s Cup 4 let9s be honest here.=
Austin added with a chuckle,
<Money game!=
Up next
The Mystics host Brittney Gri-
ner and the Phoenix Mercury at
8 p.m. Friday at Entertainment
and Sports Arena.
Certainly, he has all the shots in
his arsenal needed to be a
champion, but he is at his best in
crucial moments. He played six
tiebreaker sets in Paris, won
them all and committed zero
unforced errors in them.
Still, people sometimes don9t
want to give him his due because
he9s polarizing.
He is often thoughtful and
insightful but also stubborn and
error-prone, off the court if not
on.
Sunday was his third French
Open victory; he9s the only
player to have won all four
majors at least three times. He
accepted the Coupe des
Mousquetaires from Yannick
Noah, the last Frenchman to win
the trophy 4 40 years ago.
Forty years seem like the blink
of an eye compared to the 69
years Canadians had waited to
see a Canadian win their
national tournament, which was
first played in 1904.
The final round at Oakdale
Golf & Country Club was a wild
scramble until Taylor curled in
an 11-foot birdie putt on the final
hole to finish at 17-under-par 271.
For a while, that appeared to be
good enough. But Fleetwood,
playing two holes behind,
birdied Nos. 16 and 17 to match
Taylor, and then the playoff
began.
First, both made birdies at
No. 18. Then, both parred Nos. 18
and 9. Back to No. 18. Taylor

Gray was fouled far from the

reached in two, while Fleetwood
laid up and hit his third shot to
12 feet. On CBS, Jim Nantz and
Trevor Immelman wondered
who had the advantage: Taylor,
72 feet away in two, or
Fleetwood, 12 feet away in three?
The answer came quickly
when Taylor9s putt slammed into
the stick and dropped into the
hole for one of golf 9s most
memorable finishes ever.
The best part of those two
victories?
Within minutes of Djokovic9s
win, Nadal posted a tweet
congratulating him for reaching
a number that once seemed
impossible. <Many congrats on
this amazing achievement,=
Nadal wrote.
And not long after giving
Taylor a warm hug, Fleetwood
posted a congratulatory tweet of
his own, telling Taylor, <what an
unbelievable 3 days of golf you9ve
just played and what a moment
for you and your country!=
And then Monday night, there
was Nikola Jokic, making the 48

Jones sank a long jumper just
before the third-quarter buzzer
to tie it at 60. She added a

Sabrina Ionescu, who scored a
career-high 37 points Friday in a
106-83 victory over Atlanta.
Johannes scored a season-
high 18 points for New York.
Betnijah Laney added 17 points,
and Breanna Stewart had 12
points, 13 rebounds, six assists
and four blocks. Jonquel Jones
also scored 12 points, and Court-
ney Vandersloot had 11 points,
six rebounds and six assists.
Laney made a steal and raced
the other way before getting
fouled with 1:19 left. She made
both free throws to pull New
York within 80-77, but Billings
answered with two free throws
for a five-point lead.

Once upon a time, a prince attended a ballgame in D.C.
More than five decades before he would become king, Charles was introduced to America9s pastime at a Senators-Angels contest at RFK Stadium
BY S COTT A LLEN
To celebrate last month9s coro-
nation of King Charles III, the
Washington Nationals hosted
their second annual US-UK
friendship Day in partnership
with the British Embassy in Wash-
ington. With the British flag flying
above Nationals Park9s left field
plaza, the British national anthem
played and British Prime minister
rishi Sunak was introduced on
the field before Washington9s 6-2
loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks
last Wednesday. His majesty evi-
dently couldn9t be bothered to
cross the pond to see Patrick Corb-
in pitch.
It wouldn9t have been the first
baseball game the king attended
in D.C. on July 18, 1970, during his
first visit to the United States,
then-21-year-old Prince Charles
and his 19-year-old sister, Princess
Anne, took in the first several in-
nings of the Washington Senators9
4-0 win over the California Angels
at rfK Stadium. They were joined
by President richard m. Nixon9s
daughters, Julie and Tricia, and
Julie9s husband, David Eisenhow-
er, who worked as a statistician for
the Senators and had arranged the
visit.
<Arriving one minute late to the
respectful cheers of 8,111, the VIP
party baked in Washington9s re-
lentless July sun for only an in-
ning,= The Washington Post re-
ported. <Then, apparently on the
suggestion of Charles, they trans-
ferred to a roofed field box for the
next four. They left after eight hits,
next to no excitement, two un-
earned Senators runs, and the
thermometer registered 91 de-
grees.=
The Prince of Wales spent the
morning with Eisenhower at the
Patuxent Center for Wildlife re-
search and Propagation of Endan-
gered Animal Species in mary-
land. At the ballpark, it was clear
he had a lot to learn about Ameri-
ca9s national pastime.
<for a young man several years
away from the top, watching two
teams of which the same can be
said was apparently an experience
of some bewilderment,= The Post
reported. <Charles had great trou-
Corbin, Nationals aren9t up to snub against the defending World Series champs

6-1 win by hitting four homers,
handing the Nationals their sev-
enth loss in eight games.
<It was supposed to be a four-
seamer away, so [I] missed it by
three feet,= Corbin said of the
pitch on Tucker9s homer. <That
was right where he likes it, so kind
of the one pitch I9d definitely like
to have back. The other homer
was a change-up 4 not terrible
location, but sometimes they put
good swings on it.=
When Corbin took the mound
Tuesday at minute maid Park, the
scene evoked memories of when
he earned the win in Game 7 of the
2019 World Series with three
scoreless innings of relief behind
max Scherzer. Corbin called the
experience <unlike anything else,=
but he hasn9t been the same since.
After Tuesday9s outing, his season
ErA is 4.81 4 a significant im-
provement from last year9s 6.31.
But his career ErA in four-plus
seasons with Washington is 4.92.
The team behind Corbin
looked much different Tuesday,
too. He is the only player on the
active roster who played on the
World Series squad. The others
still with the Nationals (26-39)
are working their way back from
injury.
Center fielder Victor robles 4
sidelined since early may with a
back injury 4 played seven in-
nings Tuesday for Class AAA
rochester and hit a pair of home
runs and a double. reliever Tan-
ner rainey threw a 25-pitch bull-
pen session recently, another step
in his rehab from Tommy John
surgery. Left-hander Sean Doolit-
tle, also coming off elbow surgery,
is pitching for Class AA Harris-
burg. former ace Stephen Stras-
burg may not pitch again.
<Brings back good memories. I
was sitting around here with
some of the guys that were here in
919 4 not many of us left 4 but we
were reminiscing a little bit,=
manager Dave martinez said be-
fore the game of being back in
Houston. <It was fun, but we got
to go 1-0 today and put that aside.
[The Astros are] playing pretty
good.=
Houston (38-29) has been to
the past two World Series and
prevailed last year, defeating the
Philadelphia Phillies in six
games. The Astros9 championship
roster remains mostly intact, and

the foul ball, and when the Sena-
tors9 mike Epstein hit one into the
stands in the first inning, the
prince 4 apparently well-coached
4 could not understand why it
was not a home run. He was quick-
ly straightened out by the gestures
of young Eisenhower, who point-
ed toward the two bright yellow
foul poles.=
The prince and princess <stood

British national anthem and did
not sing the words, according to
The Post. Charles <appeared very

up his pitch count.

much was made of the fact that
Charles and Tricia Nixon, who sat
next to each other at the game, had
been paired at a White House
supper dance the previous night
and danced together three times.
<That was quite amusing, I
must say,= Charles told CNN in
2021. <That was the time when
they were trying to marry me off to
Tricia Nixon.=
As for the action on the field,

his former team, walking one and
striking out five.

Corbin threw 91 pitches over five

The Nationals had just six hits,
and this loss highlighted their
continued inability to generate
extra-base hits. only two hits 4 a

stronger than the average bear.=
Washington scored two runs in
the first inning against Angels
starter Tom Bradley. The 23-year-
old admitted to being a little ner-
vous afterward, not because of the
royals9 presence in the crowd but
because the former falls Church
High and University of maryland
standout was pitching so close to
home.
Coincidentally, it was camera
day at rfK, a promotion in which
fans were invited to photograph
their favorite players.

reported. <. . . many saved a couple

ever, many players took their own

<Very British,= Epstein, the Sen-
ators9 first baseman, told the New
York Times as he admired the
prince from the dugout steps be-
fore the game. <I9d say he9s sitting
pretty. I9d like to have his money. A
classy guy, but you got to be when
you9re sitting on that throne.=
Charles and Anne, who visited

Washington has the sixth-best
batting average (.261) in the ma-
jors 4 well above Houston (.246)
in 17th. But the pitching-focused
d5
ing the game early, managed to
ruffle some feathers during a tour
of the Capitol with Speaker of the
House John W. mcCormack (D-
mass.) the day before.
After spotting a carved replica
of a bald eagle, Charles <chanced
to wonder aloud why that particu-
lar bird had been granted the hon-
or, and the princess commented
that it was 8rather a bad choice,9
after being told that Ben franklin
favored the turkey,= according to
The Post.
<The royal pair9s remarks were
but the latest in a long series of
troubles, from pesticides to unre-
lenting critics, that has been
plaguing the eagle, not, perhaps,
unlike the nation it symbolizes,=
The Post9s David r. Boldt wrote in
a front-page story. <. . . It isn9t
known whether any prominent
Americans have been heard re-
cently to make snide remarks
about the British lion, to imply,
perhaps, that its tongue-lapping
expression on the British coat of
arms is a trifle silly looking, not to
mention the prancing unicorn
that faces the lion on the coat of
arms.=
(It also isn9t known whether
Sunak, who met with President
Biden on Thursday, questioned
the Nationals9 choice of Screech as
their mascot or made snide re-
marks about the anthropomor-
phized eagle after they met on the
field before Wednesday9s game.)
Charles ended his three-day vis-
it to the United States with a late-
afternoon talk with President Nix-
on that lasted more than an hour
and reportedly ended with the
president urging him to <come
back again and maybe the Sena-
tors will win again.=
The Senators defeated the mil-
waukee Brewers on a walk-off sin-
gle by Lee maye the next day.
<The gathering at Kennedy Sta-
dium numbered exactly 10,023 for
the Senators9 game with the new
milwaukee club, bettering by 1,472
the paid attendance of Saturday
when Prince Charles and Princess
Anne were an added attraction,=
The Post9s Shirley Povich wrote. <It
probably marked the first time
that British royalty was ever out-
drawn by an expansion club.=

Astros 4 their ErA of 3.28 is by
far the best in the majors 4 have a
higher slugging percentage (.401)
than the Nationals (.388) despite
having 22 fewer hits.
It appeared Dominic Smith 4
who homered in Sunday9s win at
Atlanta 4 would provide the Na-
tionals with another extra-base
hit in the seventh when he
smashed the ball to the warning
track. But Astros center fielder
Jake meyers made a leaping catch
at the wall. That let right-hander
Hunter Brown complete seven
scoreless innings while allowing
just four hits.
<We saw a lot of foul balls over
our dugout today,= martinez said.
<And that indicates that they were
sitting on soft stuff when they
should be sitting on fastballs.=
In the bottom of the inning,
catcher martín maldonado 4 a
.188 hitter 4 clubbed a solo home
run into the Crawford Boxes off
Chad Kuhl. The Astros tacked on
another run later on a José Abreu
single that scored Jose Altuve.
García had an rBI single in the
eighth to put the Nationals on the
board. But just when Washington
had a glimmer of hope, the Astros
responded.
Chas mcCormick hit the As-
tros9 fourth solo home run of the
night 4 and their third into the
Crawford Boxes 4 as Thaddeus
Ward watched from the mound in
disbelief. Later, Altuve added an
rBI single for good measure. four
years after a very different group
of Nationals made history here,
the Astros9 power did much more
damage than Washington9s con-
tact could Tuesday night.

incredible and a testament to
what a great hockey market this is.
<What has happened here has
been simply incredible. Not only
is Vegas a hockey town, it9s a
championship town.=
Vegas closed out the series in
five games to win the Cup before a
delirious franchise-record crowd
of 19,058 at T-mobile Arena that
drowned out the pregame intro-
ductions of forward Jonathan
marchessault and goalie Adin Hill
and cheered all the way through
the final buzzer.
marchessault, who ended the
postseason with a 10-game point
streak, received the Conn Smythe
Trophy for playoff mVP.
<I couldn9t be more proud of
our team, our organization,=
marchessault said. <Everybody
stepped up at different times, and
that9s why we9re winners.=
Stone9s hat trick 4 with the
third into an empty net with 5:54
left 4 was the first in the Stanley
Cup finals since Peter forsberg9s
for the Colorado Avalanche in
1996, also against the Panthers.
The Golden Knights got the rest
of their scoring from Nic Hague,
Alec martinez, reilly Smith, mi-
chael Amadio, Ivan Barbashev
and Nicolas roy. martinez9s goal

years to the day after he delivered

treated these two women inap-
propriately.=
That act of contrition was the
first concerted outreach by any
major League Baseball team to
gay fans, predating the Chicago
Cubs9 early iterations of out at
Wrigley by a year. Nearly a
quarter-century later, the inci-
dent and its aftermath feel illus-
trative of the sport9s lurching
attempts at outreach. As Pride
month is acknowledged in vari-
ous ways nationwide, every mLB
team except the Texas rangers
will host a Pride night at a home
game this month. But some of
those events have stirred contro-
versy, and the Dodgers organiza-
tion again found itself embroiled
in one of them.
facing criticism from some
Catholic groups and Sen. marco
rubio (r-fla.), the Dodgers an-
nounced they were revoking their
intent to honor a group called the
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (a
group that includes men who
dress as nuns) for its work in Los
Angeles9s queer community.
Then, the team reversed course
again, reinviting the group to its
Pride Night, which is friday.
The episode resonated inside
some clubhouses, where the
change has felt slower than out-
side. future Hall of famer Clay-
ton Kershaw admitted he has-
tened his announcement of the
Dodgers9 faith night later this
month when he heard the Sisters
of Perpetual Indulgence were
coming to Pride night, though he
insisted in an interview with the
Los Angeles Times that he did so
to stand up for what he believed
in, not to render anyone else
unwelcome. And Washington Na-
tionals starter Trevor Williams,
who has never pitched for the
Dodgers, released a statement
scolding the team for honoring a
group that he argued ridiculed
Catholics.
No major league player has
come out publicly while still ac-
tive, and some players have
claimed religious opposition to
Pride night apparel or events.
Tampa Bay rays pitcher Jeffrey
Springs, for example, refused to
wear Pride colors last year. Earli-
er this season, then-Toronto Blue
Jays reliever Anthony Bass
shared social media posts that
encouraged boycotts of compa-
nies that take the <demonic= step
of offering LGBTQ-centered mer-
chandise.
Bass subsequently apologized
for any hurt caused by his actions,
and the Blue Jays curiously chose
him to catch the ceremonial first
pitch before the team9s Pride
night 4 only to release him hours
before the game, a move General
manager ross Atkins called <a

traction was a small part.=

suggests attitudes among players
may be shifting. rays infielder

This year, Chicago White Sox
minor leaguer Anderson Comás
came out on social media. At the
beginning of Pride month, he
spoke to reporters.
<I was really afraid for people
to know that for me,= said Comás,
wearing a shirt that said <human=
in pride colors. <right now, I
think it9s getting a lot better. I
think that9s why I decided to do it.
Now, it9s 2023. People are chang-
ing.=
Comás said some of his team-
mates and coaches already knew.
He said nothing changed when he
came out publicly, at least not in
the organization. At times in re-
cent baseball history, the idea of a
gay player finding that kind of
comfort in a major league organi-
zation was unthinkable.
<It9s still a little bit hard for us
to be out there visible in the
public area because of people9s
judgment and all that. Just be-
cause they think different and
they don9t understand things,=
said Comás, who said he received
around a thousand messages

like they can be open but felt
better seeing him come out. As for
the hateful messages, he said he
doesn9t see a point in reading
them.

<Unbelievable,= Stone said.
<The look in my teammates9 eyes

Aaron Ekblad, Sam reinhart
and Sam Bennett scored for flori-
da, and Sergei Bobrovsky was
overwhelmed in another tough
performance against Vegas after
carrying florida to the final. miss-
ing from the lineup was matthew
Tkachuk, the king of game-win-
ning shots during the playoffs
who was never the same after a
crushing blow to his shoulder by
Vegas9s Keegan Kolesar in Game 3.
The Golden Knights have set
the standard of what an expan-
sion franchise should look like,
making the Cup finals in their first
season and the playoffs in every
year but one. Six players remain
from the initial 2017-18 team that
lost in five games to the Washing-
ton Capitals in the finals.
Those players watched the Cap-
itals skate with the Stanley Cup
that night, and then they got the
chance to do the same Tuesday to
fulfill owner Bill foley9s quest to
win the championship in the sixth
year.
<We waited a long time for that
moment to come back.= marches-
sault said. <We wanted to make
sure we cash in this time.=
By creating such a lofty stan-
dard at the outset, the Golden
Knights played with high expecta-
tions but repeatedly fell short de-
spite four runs to at least the NHL
semifinals 4 until Game 5 against
the Panthers.

Dallas-area community to foster
inclusion. <We deliver on that

ket that was limited largely to
prize fights, UNLV athletics, NAS-

Athletics appear headed to the
desert, Las Vegas will host a for-
mula one race this year, and the
Super Bowl will be at Allegiant
Stadium in february.
Cassidy, a former Capitals
coach hired a week after getting
fired by the Boston Bruins last
year, proved to be the leader to get
them to the top.
<He came in, brought an inten-
sity to our locker room that maybe
we needed,= Stone said. <He want-
ed to win as badly as anybody else
in that locker room.=
Cassidy seemingly pushing all
the right buttons in helping Vegas
become the Western Conference9s
top seed and then the NHL9s
champion.
<It9s a great story 4 very, very
grateful to get another opportu-
nity,= Cassidy said. <I9m just here
to do my job, and it worked out
well.=
Vegas also won with an unlikely
goalie in Hill, who was injured
when the playoffs began. Laurent
Brossoit was the starter until go-
ing out with an injury in Game 3 of
the second-round series against
the Edmonton oilers, and then
Hill got his chance.
<You dream about it every day
growing up as a child.= Hill said.
<To be here with this group of
guys, in this city, in this building,
is a dream come true.=
Goldey admitted that when she
heard of the Dodgers9 initial deci-
sion to exclude the Sisters of
Perpetual Indulgence, she con-
templated pulling her plans to
attend the Pride night with the
group of fans she had organized.
<I held on to the hope that they
would acknowledge their mis-
step, for the Dodgers embody the
diverse tapestry that is Los Ange-
les. They represent an organiza-
tion composed of individuals
from various walks of life, inher-
ently susceptible to making mis-
takes,= Goldey wrote to The Post.
<my fervent wish is that they
strive to learn from these errors
and prevent their recurrence.=
As they did to Goldey and Kott,
the Dodgers offered <their sincer-
est apologies= to the Sisters of
Perpetual Indulgence and invited
them back. Goldey will also be
there friday 4 not just despite
that August night two decades
ago but because of it.
<I felt marginalized, degraded,
confused, angry and really disap-
pointed. It was surreal,= Goldey
remembered.
<Pride Night stands as a critical
cornerstone that some individu-
als seem to have overlooked
amidst the noise. It serves a
paramount purpose: to extend
unwavering support to the
LGTBQ community,= she wrote.
<It serves as a powerful declara-
tion that the Dodgers and their
fans embrace the concept of in-
clusivity and stand by every indi-
vidual. It signifies that all are
welcome.=

Fredericksburg District Bridge Bundle
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is seeking State-
ments of Qualifications for the Fredericksburg District Bridge Bundle
design-build project from qualified and experienced respondents
with design and construction experience of bridges. The project
has multiple bridges located in the Fredericksburg District. Proposed
improvements include complete replacement of the following
bridges: Route 17 NB bridge over Dragon Run in Middlesex County,
Route 695 bridge over Oyster Creek in Lancaster County, and the
Route 614 bridge over Exol Swamp in King and Queen County. The
project also includes the superstructure replacement of the Route
207 NB bridge over Mattaponi River in Caroline County. Limited
roadway approach work for the Route 695, Route 614, and Route
207 NB bridges, but Route 17 NB will require additional approach
work as the bridge elevations will be raised to alleviate bridge
flooding issues. The project does not increase the capacity of current
roads and bridges. The work includes but not limited to: roadway
and bridge design, survey, environmental, geotechnical, hydraulics
and stormwater management, traffic control devices, transportation
management plan, utility relocation, public involvement/relations
and stakeholder coordination, quality assurance and quality control,
construction engineering and inspection, and overall project manage-
ment.
Questions/clarifications regarding the Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
should be submitted to Daniel McBride, P.E. (daniel.mcbride@vdot.vir-
ginia.gov).
Copies of the RFQ and additional submittal requirements can be found

PGA Tour-LIV uncertainty adds intrigue to the U.S. Open
U.S. OPen from D1
Brooks Koepka.
<I was at the gym,= said top-
ranked Scottie Scheffler, the 2022
masters champion. <I didn9t really
know what was going on. Still
don9t really have a clue.=
They spoke at a time of upheav-
al in their sport9s history, and the
uncertainty deepened Tuesday
night when the PGA Tour an-
nounced that its commissioner
and one of the faces of the part-
nership, Jay monahan, was <recu-
perating from a medical situa-
tion= and temporarily would leave
<day-to-day operations of the PGA
Tour= to ron Price and Tyler Den-
nis, current tour officers. mona-
han has been the subject of mass
pillory for his about-face regard-
ing the LIV threat.
Their players9 powerlessness
and confusion, elements with
which they don9t tend to hang,
might have gained their clearest
summary from six-time PGA Tour
winner and Greater Los Angeles
native max Homa.
<I think we9re all curious and
we9re all, I guess, skeptical of
things or whatever, but I trust the
guys at the top doing what they9re
doing,= he said. <But I guess I9m
just a lowly golfer here. I9m not a
businessman; I don9t really get
how all of it works. The more I9ve
tried to learn, the more I9ve just
gone in circles. At some point I
just have to leave it up to them and
wait for more information, I
guess, to come out.=
Already he had spoken a
theme: <I know as much if not less
than you.=
rory mcIlroy, so often their
dutiful speaker in the 18 months
since LIV birthed itself with
boundless oil money and began
luring away PGA Tour players, did
not speak at all. His name ap-
peared atop the interview docket
set for Tuesday morning, but then
it disappeared.
Soon came rahm, European in
upbringing like mcIlroy and
thoughtful in expression like
mcIlroy.
<There9s a lot of not-answered
questions,= rahm said. <It9s tough
when it9s the week before a major.
Trying not to think about it as
much as possible. I think it gets to
a point where you want to have
faith in management, and I want
Masters champion Jon Rahm spoke of <a bit of betrayal from management= when asked for his thoughts on the PGA Tour-LIV Golf deal.
to have faith that this is the best
thing for all of us, but it9s clear that
that9s not the consensus.
<I think the general feeling is
that a lot of people feel a bit of
betrayal from management. I un-
derstand why they had to keep it
so secret= 4 because of the inevi-
tability of leaking. <I get the secre-
cy. It9s just not easy as a player
that9s been involved, like many
others, to wake up and see this
bombshell. That9s why we9re all in
a bit of a state of limbo, because
we don9t know what9s going on
and how much is finalized and
how much they can talk about,
eZ M2 k the washington post
either. . . . We9ll see. There9s too
many questions to be answered.=
He said that Tuesday of last
week, <I thought my phone was
going to catch on fire at one point.=
Though Cantlay, the No. 4 play-
er in the world, had a few mo-
ments more than most to process
the bombshell, he got the idea of
betrayal.
<I think it9s totally understand-
able,= he said. <I think anytime
you9re left in the dark on a deci-
sion that potentially affects you
massively, that could easily make
you upset. . . . I9m just trying to
understand this deal as best I can
or understand what9s going on as
best I can. It seems really compli-
cated. I don9t want to get ahead of
myself and form an opinion like
that until I know all the facts and
know what it9s about. But I under-
stand the emotion, and I think it9s
totally natural and understand-
able.=
Collin morikawa, the 2020 PGA
Championship and 2021 British
open champion, fielded the first
PGA Tour/LIV question by veer-
ing to his new project for youth
golfers, the maggie Hathaway
Project, which he explained at
length.
MAtt York/AssociAted press
Later, though, he did address
the great uncertainty: <That9s
hard because I think for a lot of
different parties there9s a lot of
different reasons why it9s happen-
ing. So we all want to know the
why. We9re so interested in the
why. for us, for me right now, it9s
just like, 8What9s going to hap-
pen?9 I don9t know. But we always
want to know the 8why9 answer.
What9s the purpose behind it? . . .
Everyone has had kind of a differ-
ent answer and different reaction
to all of this. So the why is 4 I
think that9s going to be very opin-
ionated, and I don9t think we9ll
. wednesday, june 14 , 2023
ever really get an answer. But we
don9t even know what9s going to
happen.=
He added, to reporters, <or
maybe you do.=
Cantlay said he had talked with
board members and monahan.
Cantlay found it still <too early to
have enough information to have
a good handle on the situation.=
Koepka was one of the players
who went to LIV, even as he has
refrained from carrying much of
its banner. He won the PGA
Championship in a grand come-
back in may and said little about
any meaning for the new circuit.
So he wrapped up his breakfast
Tuesday of last week, watched a
bit of the coverage and went out to
practice. <There9s four weeks a
year that I really care about= 4 the
majors 4 <and this is one of them,
and I want to play well,= he said.
<So I wasn9t going to waste any
time on news that happened last
week.=
He said: <It didn9t matter to me.
Like I said, I9m trying to focus on
this week.=
He then chimed in with: <I
think that9s why I9ve been really
good at majors.=
He did allow that there had
been shock around and about.
<Because we didn9t hear anything
about it,= he said. <I think that9s
the one thing that shocked every-
body the most. I think I ran into
rickie [fowler] and [Justin
Thomas] after watching the
whole thing, and I asked if they
knew, and they said they didn9t
know, either.=
rahm said he has had to resort
to <perspective= on the matter,
how playing golf so well has lent
<a situation where my family and
my kids don9t have to struggle
financially ever, and I don9t know
how many generations I can help
if I do it properly.= The grateful-
ness, he said, helps him deal with
the goblin of change.
That change hovers above the
first U.S. open at this course 4 a
rare U.S. open in terms of its
mystery. <Yeah, it9s a distraction,=
Cantlay said, <but I imagine it9s a
distraction for everyone. Come
tournament time, it won9t be on
my mind.= or, as Homa put it: <It9s
actually nice to be as confused as I
am here because I9m not really
thinking about it anymore. I9m
ready to just go play golf.=

It9s also not too far from my
mind-set when I first started
cooking vegetarian dishes. A
dozen years ago, I leaned so
heavily on eggs and cheese as a
crutch, you9d be forgiven for not

4 the offline equivalent of
clicking. The <noodle pull=
photo for this chili oil noodle
dish did just that when I came
across it in <Caught Snackin9,= a
bright, colorful cookbook
released by the people behind
the popular TikTok channel of
the same name.
These spiced, oiled noodles
paired with lightly steamed bok
choy result in a satisfying
contrast of soft and crisp and
spicy and mild 4 and the dish is
ready in 20 minutes.
The noodles will make your
tongue tingle, but they9re easy to
tame by reducing the pepper
flakes and switching out some
of the chili oil for more sesame
or vegetable oil. <You can
replace the bok choy with
anything in your fridge,= said
Katharine Scott Payne, the
content creator for Caught
Snackin9, which released its first
cookbook this year.
The TikTok account was the
brainchild of three co-workers
at Uncovered Group, a
marketing and social media
agency in London. In April
2020, Lydia Vernon, Freya

pitched the idea of starting a

my cooking, with little to no
need for adornment by animal
products.
But I still have a soft spot (pun
intended) for one cheese in
particular: burrata, the mash-up
of mozzarella and cream that,
when it is fresh, adds a dose of
indulgence to anything you pair
it with. I still remember the first
time I had a burrata appetizer at
D.C.9s Centrolina restaurant; I
was with a colleague from the
Food team, and we marveled at
how transcendent the simple
marriage of burrata and peak
produce could be. That time of
year, it was cherries, and the duo
was finished with little more
than sublime olive oil and flaky
sea salt. I considered asking
chef/owner Amy Brandwein for a
recipe, but it seemed almost too
over Zoom and decided to focus
on foods they loved but couldn9t
go out and eat due to isolating
during the pandemic. You9ll find
lots of hacks for making things
like McDonald9s apple pies.
You9ll see the English influence
in quick-and-easy recipes for
crumpets and trifle, too.
<It quickly became the
fastest-growing food TikTok in
the United Kingdom,= Payne
said.
Payne said Vernon mentored
her for about eight months,
<teaching me the ropes before
giving me her baby.= The women
worked together on the
cookbook, which features 100
recipes, more than 90 percent of
them created for the book.
<We wanted to show you can
create proper dinner foods and
still have that great fun element
that9s on the TikTok page,= said
Payne, who makes the food in a
rented London apartment
kitchen, working with a small
team that comes up with recipe
ideas and films the videos.
Unlike the short-form videos,
the cookbook provides
ingredient amounts, cooking
times and a difficulty scale that
ranges from easy (the vast
majority) to medium. That9s it.
<Our main thing is it9s got to
be very easy, accessible and
super fun,= she said, noting the
account and the cookbook are
aimed at Gen Z home cooks.
<We focus on what people love.
They love cheese. They love
pizza and all the hacky things to
do with that. They love puff
pastry.=
On the TikTok page, which
has 2.4 million followers, the
focus is on snacking and
desserts. You9ll find plenty of

A salad from Sheela Prakash9s

desserts and snacks, but it also
features chapters for lunch and
dinner with more substantial
meals, such as ribs, shrimp and
pasta bowls like these noodles.
<I honestly eat it two times a
week,= Payne said of this chili oil
noodle dish. <It9s perfect; you
get home late from work, you
can chop everything while the
noodles are boiling and it9s done

Chili Oil Noodles With Steamed Bok Choy
2 to 3 servings
Spicy oiled noodles find an ideal partner in lightly steamed bok choy
in this bowl from the popular TikToker <Caught Snackin9.= This tingling
hot noodle dish can be tamed by halving the amount of pepper flakes
and switching out some of the chili oil for more sesame or vegetable oil.
If you don9t have udon noodles, use your favorite long pasta.
Storage: Refrigerate the noodles and bok choy separately for up to
2 days.

Scorched Sugar Snap Pea and Burrata Salad
4 servings
This is a showstopper of a salad, featuring juicy, crunchy, sweet sugar
snap peas in a lemony vinaigrette and paired with creamy, dreamy,
indulgent burrata. Serve as a light main course or starter, with or
without bread.
Substitutions: No sugar snaps? Use snow peas, green beans or
asparagus; swap fresh mozzarella, vegan mozzarella or silken tofu for
the burrata; parsley or cilantro for the mint; lime or apple cider vinegar
for the lemon; za9atar or lemon zest for the sumac.
Total time: 25 mins
Adapted from <Salad Seasons= by Sheela Prakash (Rizzoli, 2023).
Ingredients
l 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil, divided, plus more for
serving
l 1/2 medium red onion (5 ounces
total), thinly sliced
l 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, divided,

l 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

l 1 teaspoon ground sumac, plus
more for serving
l One (8-ounce) ball or two (4-
ounce) balls burrata cheese
l Flaky sea salt, for serving
Steps
l In a large cast-iron or other

sugar snaps. My husband is a
fan, too; he still talks about the
day years ago when on my sister
and brother-in-law9s Maine
homestead, he picked a sugar
snap off the vine and couldn9t
believe how good it tasted
without a single application of
seasoning or heat. It helped sell
him on my own attempts to grow
food in our D.C. backyard.
Indeed, you can9t go wrong by
eating peak-season sugar snaps

flavor, simply by searing them in

Don9t listen to the dissonance. Saturated fat actually (still) is bad for you.
BY T AMAR H ASPEL
Let9s tackle saturated fat, shall
we? It9s something people brawl
about on social media, and
(mostly) cordially disagree about
in scientific literature. I could
write a persuasive piece, chock
full of experts and evidence, that
comes down on either side: Sat
fat is harmful, or sat fat is benign
or even beneficial.
But dig a little deeper, and the
story gets clearer. Clearer,
actually, than most nutrition
issues. And that story is that sat
fat is bad.
For a long time, that was the
prevailing idea, but then there
was doubt. I date the backlash to
Mark Bittman9s 2014 New York
Times column, <Butter is Back,=
which pinned its headline on a
meta-analysis concluding that
saturated fat consumption wasn9t
correlated with increased heart
disease risk.
Since then, there have been
others. And the evidence has

spawned quite a few sat-fat
contrarians.
Could they be right?
Going into this, I believed that
we should limit saturated fat
intake, because I believe these
two things:
1. Saturated fat raises LDL
(a.k.a. <bad=) cholesterol.
2. LDL cholesterol increases
heart disease risk.
I talked with a couple experts
who were on the same page:
cardiologist Ethan Weiss,
formerly of the University of
California at San Francisco and
now entrepreneur-in-residence at
Third Rock Ventures, a biotech
venture capital firm; and Kevin
Klatt, registered dietitian and
research scientist at the
University of California at
Berkeley. But I also wanted to talk
to the smartest, best-informed
person I could find who didn9t
agree with me. Ronald Krauss is a
professor at UC-San Francisco,
and co-author of a 2020 paper
taking issue with the Agriculture
Mg ee k the washington post
Department9s Dietary Guidelines
recommendation that we limit
saturated fat to 10 percent of
calories. <The recommendation
to limit dietary saturated fatty
acid (SFA) intake has persisted
despite mounting evidence to the
contrary,= the paper claimed.
The conversation with Krauss
didn9t go exactly as planned, since

complete agreement: You can9t
figure out saturated fat from
observational research.
Much of the research
exonerating saturated fat
(including the relevant parts of
the study Bittman cited) comes
from researchers following large
groups of people, asking what
they eat, and seeing what diseases
they get. I will spare you my rant
about what a lousy tool I believe
this to be, and just say that I think
inaccurate data and a bazillion
confounding factors disqualify it
from settling the saturated fat
issue, or finding any causal link
between food and health where
the effect is small.
Take those studies off the table
and you9re left with clinical trials.
A lot of them.
Let9s take the link between sat
fat and LDL first.
At least two things can affect
whether, and the extent to which,
saturated fat raises LDL. One is
the kind of saturated fat, and the
other is the kind of food it9s
contained in.
Four of the saturated fats we
commonly eat (they have names,
but are often referred to by the
number of carbon atoms they
contain) are C12 (lauric acid), C14
(myristic acid), C16 (palmitic
acid) and C18 (stearic acid).
According to Krauss and Klatt,
C14 and C16 (which together are
most of the saturated fats in meat
and dairy) reliably raise LDL. C12
(the main fat in coconut oil) and
C18 (which our bodies readily
break down to a
monounsaturated fat) are a little
different.
The actual food matters, too.
Even if two foods contain the
same saturated fats, the effect on
cholesterol can be different.
There9s evidence that some kinds
of dairy 4 cheese and yogurt, for
example 4 don9t raise LDL as
much as other sat-fat-rich foods,
and may sometimes even lower it.
Nobody9s quite sure why (Krauss
points out that there may be other
properties of the foods that have
compensatory effects), but the
differences have been observed
across a wide range of trials.
All sat fats are not the same. All
foods that contain sat fats are not
the same. At the end of the day,
though, I think it9s wholly
supportable to say that saturated
fat raises LDL cholesterol, even
though some sat-fatty foods 4
coconut oil and some dairy, for
example 4 don9t seem as
harmful.
But there9s only harm, of
course, if raising LDL does indeed
raise heart disease risk, and
everyone I spoke with agrees that
it does. Weiss calls it a <borderline
fact,= and Krauss is unequivocal:
<LDL is causal in cardiovascular
disease.= And there9s a large body
of evidence to support it; when
lowering LDL reduces heart
disease risk, that9s pretty telling.
A 2016 meta-analysis found that
lowered LDL levels were
associated with lower rates of
major coronary events. As did
another in 2020. So did a 2012

analysis. I could go on.

edited excerpts from a recent chat.
Q: How do I get roasted veggies to
be crisp? I use olive oil, salt and
pepper and space them out on a
pan at 425 degrees, but they come
out soggy and rarely with any
browned crispy parts.
A: Make sure the vegetables are
as dry as possible before you
roast. Pat and let drain on a towel.
Preheat the baking sheet in the
oven. Carefully add the
vegetables, already tossed with
oil, salt and pepper, to the hot pan
(you9ll hear them sizzle right
away). If you have a pizza stone or
steel, place the baking sheet on it.
Make sure your oven is hot!
Your oven may signal that it9s
preheated when it9s not. If yours
is anything like mine, it could
take up to 30 minutes to reach
the right temperature.
Reconsider your rack position.
The default middle may not be
the best spot! Moving the pan
closer to one of the elements can
help. I find that, even on bake, I
get lots more crispy edges when I
roast vegetables on a rack in the
upper third of the oven.
Use the convection feature on
your oven, if you have one.
Try using the broil function for
the last minute or two to get
those crispy edges.

nuances. Weiss explains that
some in the cardiology field
(including Krauss) emphasize the
different kinds of LDL (small and
dense, which may be more
harmful than large and fluffy),
and others focus on apoB, a
protein that coats the LDL
particles and may be a better
indicator of disease risk. While
acknowledging these issues, he
calls them a <distraction.= LDL
cholesterol is still a good
indicator 4 although not the
absolute best 4 of risk. It9s easy
and cheap to assess, and a decent
proxy for other measures that
may be somewhat more accurate.
I asked Klatt and Weiss not just
about fat and cholesterol, but
about the extent of the consensus,
and both said it9s broad. Klatt
called the science <super solid,=
something we don9t hear about
nutrition all that often. To be
clear, that doesn9t mean there
aren9t trials that show something
different; it9s just that the vast
preponderance of the evidence
points in the same direction.
Which brings us back to
Krauss, who, as my chosen
representative of Team Sat Fat,
was a grave disappointment
because he doesn9t dispute any of
this. His objection to the
recommendation to limit sat fat
isn9t because he thinks the stuff is
beneficial: <I9ve never said there9s
anything good about saturated
fat. & There9s no reason we need
it in our diet.= And, when he sees
patients who are at high risk for
heart disease, he tells them to
limit it.
<But,= he says, <If you9re trying
to advise someone who needs to
lower heart disease risk, that
should involve limiting foods that
are high in sat fat. That9s not the
same as population guidelines.=
Krauss gave me several reasons
he opposes the limit: Not
everyone has to lower risk, the 10
percent cutoff is arbitrary, and
guidelines, he believes, should
focus on foods rather than
nutrients 4 particularly since the
food that contains the saturated
fat matters.
Reasonable people can
disagree about the specific
recommendation. Because the
case for the harm saturated fat
does is so strong, I9m in favor of
keeping it, even though I
generally agree that
recommending foods or dietary
patterns is better than focusing
on specific nutrients.
However, I don9t think
reasonable people can disagree
very much about saturated fat
itself. Much of it, in most of the
foods it figures in, raises LDL
cholesterol, which increases
heart disease risk.
That should settle it, don9t you
think?
cooking after being drained, what
is the correct internal
temperature to achieve a
perfectly cooked potato for
potato salad? One that is cooked
through but not overcooked.
A: I have never measured the
temperature. Instead, all you
need is a fork. My go-to method is
to cut the potatoes to the desired
size, add them to a pot with
enough water to cover by at least
2 inches, bring to a boil, reduce to
a simmer and then cook until the
potatoes can be pierced by a fork
with little resistance. Then drain.

Q: I would like to make my
pumpkin bread with chocolate
chips, and mail it to someone in
Chicago from Northern Virginia.
Do I need to worry about the
chocolate chips melting and
making a mess? Does it make
sense to first freeze the bread
before putting it in the mail?
A: I think freezing first is a great
idea, which will buy you a bit of
extra time. You could even throw
in an ice pack for more insurance.
But I wouldn9t worry too much.
Even if the chips start to soften, I
don9t think it will ruin anything.
Plus, once the bread is back
inside, the chips will set back up.
4 B.K.
Q: I bought some leaf lard for
making tortillas and got to
thinking about other ways I could
use it. I9m sure it would be great
in biscuits. Can I just sub in an
equal amount of lard?
A: Yes, you can use lard in place
of butter in biscuits, but
according to King Arthur Baking,
they won9t rise as much and won9t
be as golden brown. That9s
because lard is 100 percent fat
whereas butter contains water,
milk solids and sugars that
contribute to caramelization.

Emeril9s is part birthright

EmEriL from E1
before returning to the kitchen he
grew up in.
And he9s 20.
<Well, I9m not ready to retire,=
Emeril said in late may, <but I have
given E.J. the space he needs to do
what he has to do here.=
That space has been about E.J.
leading a culinary makeover of his
father9s famous food, injecting
new life into what9s been one of
New orleans9 most beloved estab-
lishments since it opened in 1990.
In doing so, E.J. and his staff are
proving themselves each night to
diners and skeptics questioning
why Emeril handed over the keys
to the kitchen to his son, who can9t
even legally drink yet.
<I am well aware that I am the
luckiest guy on the planet,= E.J.
said. <I9m not the best cook on the
planet, I know that. I9m not the
best manager on the planet. But
there9s a weird comfort that I find
in that, because I9m confident in
my ability to put a team together
and my palate in the sense that I
know what good food is.=
The world-class chefs who9ve
worked with both Emeril and E.J.
say the son has a chance to be
better than his father 4 and his
ascension is about his years of
training and skill, not his name or
nepotism. Emeril pointed to the
refinement E.J. has brought to the
reimagined menu, like when he
turned Emeril9s famous Potato Al-
exa dish from an indulgent twice-
baked potato with truffle and
cheese into a sculpted steamed
potato topped with aioli, parme-
san and an emulsion of truffles
and mushrooms (surrounded in a
pond of truffle-butter sauce).
<The story of the cuisine for
both of them is very different but
very united in a way,= said Daniel
Boulud, the acclaimed chef and
michelin-starred restaurateur
who had invited E.J. to work with
him in his New York kitchen. <E.J.
is really making his mark.=
Eric ripert, the celebrity chef
and mentor to E.J. during his time
working at the michelin-starred
Le Bernardin, goes one step fur-
ther in assessing what E.J.9s rise at
Emeril9s means.
<I know one day, and I don9t
want to jinx it, but he9s going to be

said. <It9s already happening.=
8i want to be a chef 9
Before there was the son, there
was the father 4 the boy with the
Portuguese mother from fall riv-
er, mass., who was eventually
crowned by many as the culinary
king of New orleans.
Despite being initially told by
New orleans restaurateur Ella
Brennan that he was too young to
work at Commander9s Palace,
Emeril persuaded her to let him
succeed Paul Prudhomme in 1982.
He became the executive chef at
the Creole institution at age 23.
When he opened his own restau-
rant and later became the face of
the fledgling food Network,
Emeril found crossover appeal in
pop culture through everyman ex-
planations of high-end recipes
that families could make at home
and a showmanship that brought
studio audiences to their feet ev-
ery time he seasoned food and
yelled one of his catchphrases.
<Emeril is the Elvis of food tele-
vision,= said celebrity chef and
food Network star Guy fieri, de-
scribing what Emeril did every
night as <a full-on culinary rock
concert.=
fieri had goose bumps remem-
bering Emeril9s kindness, specifi-
cally when fieri9s father-in-law
died and Emeril told him when
they were in mexico to travel on
his private plane so he could get to
rhode Island as fast as possible to
be with his family. <Emeril didn9t
know me that well, but I got back
less than 24 hours later from when
my wife called. It was the neatest
thing in the world,= fieri said.
Added Susie fogelson, who
worked with Emeril during her
time as head of marketing at food
Network, <He set the barometer
for what greatness is.=
When Emeril9s show was can-
celed in late 2007, he went
through what he describes as <an
incredible transition= in his ca-
reer.
<I got over it and said: 8You
know what? I9m just going to take
a break and then I9m going to do
what I want to do,9= Emeril re-
called.
That meant still being on TV
and dedicating himself to his res-
taurants in New orleans and Las
Vegas, but also spending more
time with the four children that he

Emeril Lagasse was at the leading edge of celebrity chef stardom a decade before his son E.J. was born. Now E.J. is ready to take the reins.
sometimes did not see as much
during filming, he said. E.J. was
already peeling carrots for chick-
en noodle soup and being shown
how to use a chef9s knife when he
realized that his dad might be
better known for his cooking than
for his role as marlon the Gator in
the Disney film <The Princess and
the frog.=
Then, when E.J. was around 10,
he had an epiphany while out to
dinner with Emeril and his moth-
er, Alden Lovelace, at Cafe Boulud
on manhattan9s Upper East Side.
The realization came in the form
of a pomegranate-glazed duck, his
<first fancy dinner= with his par-
ents from a decade ago that E.J.
recently recalled in vivid detail.
<I remember finishing the
duck, getting in the car and look-
ing at my dad being like, 8Yeah, I
want to be a chef,9= E.J. said. <And
he was just like, 8oh God, oh no.9
my mom had the same reaction.=
8You don9t see talent like that
in your kitchen9
The beginning wasn9t smooth.
E.J. said he burned a batch of
crème brûlée and dropped a

bunch of eggs one day in, of all
places, Emeril9s 4 <It was here, the
restaurant that I9m now the chef
at!=
Starting at around 12, E.J.
began staging at other restaurants
to learn and be exposed to new
techniques and cuisines. ripert
recalled being struck at how E.J.,
then 13, felt like an <old soul= in his
mature, articulate speech and re-
sponsibility in the kitchen when
he staged for the chef at Le Bernar-
din. E.J. admits he lied to the staff
about his age. That didn9t matter
to ripert, who saw how much
more refined and lighter his cook-
ing was than Emeril9s.
<You don9t see talent like that in
your kitchen every day,= ripert
said.
After graduating in 2022 from
the culinary program at Johnson
& Wales, his father9s alma mater,
E.J. worked at two three-star
michelin restaurants, Core in
London and frantzén in Stock-
holm. His lease in England was
ending when his parents came to
visit just before his birthday last
year, he recalled. That9s when his
father had a request.
<He goes, 8You9ve seen what
we9ve been doing at the restau-
rant, and I9d love to have you come
back down,9= E.J. remembered.
Emeril had a slightly different ver-
sion: <It was just like, 8It9s time to
come back to the flagship.9=
8Let9s see what happens9
The two never talked about E.J.
taking over as chef before he came
back to New orleans. Not long
after E.J. started playing around
with Emeril9s menu, the son
placed in front of his father his
idea for a revamped Potato Alexa,
which made Emeril feel proud
rather than defensive, E.J. said.

the washington post
Another conversation had E.J.,
then 19, asking his dad if he could
do what he did to Potato Alexa to
the entire menu.
<He was like: 8That would make
you the chef. Do you want to be the
chef?9= E.J. recalled his father ask-
ing him. <I said yeah and he said,
8okay, let9s see what happens.9=
When word got out last year
about the change in the kitchen,
the culinary world was left won-
dering why Emeril had let his son
take over his restaurant so early in
his career. But those who know
E.J. and have seen his work first-
hand scoffed at the suggestion
that age should restrict talent.
<mozart was playing piano at
5 years old,= ripert said, laughing.
<That apple didn9t fall far from
the tree at all,= fieri said of E.J.
following in his dad9s footsteps.
Emeril himself was facing ques-
tions of nepotism until colleagues
reminded him that his son had
already probably forgotten more
through his training and experi-
ence than most chefs will ever
learn. Emeril will lean on his son
as the restaurant undergoes a ren-
ovation later this year to go along
with the revitalized menu.
<He hasn9t stopped learning,=
Emeril said of his son. <He9s push-
ing himself and wants to get better
every day.=
8i have a responsibility to my
dad9
A night at Emeril9s under E.J.9s
vision is an hours-long, high-end
journey through Louisiana cul-
ture with a chef who is as obsessed
with serving great food as he is
with the details that go unnoticed.

patron was to have everyone in the

series on michael Jordan and his
last season with the Chicago Bulls,
in which Jordan9s obsession with
greatness motivates every deci-
sion he makes.
E.J. speaks of waking up in the
middle of the night to see if they
have enough carrots prepared for
the next day, and walking a couple
of blocks from his apartment in
the Warehouse District to the res-
taurant to make sure. When pre-
senting a smoked salmon cheese-
cake, the first of eight courses on
E.J.9s <classics= section of the
menu, the chef emphasizes that he
tried 121 varieties of caviar in a
single sitting to find the right one.
The best one he tasted was the
83rd spoon.
<I have a responsibility to my
dad, I have a responsibility to
guests who9ve been coming here,=
E.J. said before the dinner service.
<I have a responsibility to myself
to be able to prove to myself that
I9m able to manage this and do
this.=
There is no michelin Guide yet
in Louisiana, but Emeril believes
that michelin will eventually be
forced to look at what his son has
done at the restaurant. The elder
Lagasse is now more reserved
than he once was, but that hasn9t
slowed him down from starring
on streaming platforms or open-
ing restaurants across the world.
The difference now is he9s having
fun with a son who has the chance
to make his own name 4 and
extend the legacy of one of the
country9s most recognized food
families.
<one of the things for me was I
had trouble letting go,= Emeril
said. <I don9t have that feeling
anymore with E.J.=
The proud father added, <I can9t
wait for you to eat his food.=

Rediscovering Rhône wines 4 and ûnding their appeal just as strong as ever
When I first fell in
love with wine, I
fell in love with
the Rhône Valley.
My guide was
<Adventures on
Wine the Wine Route=
Dave by Kermit Lynch,
McIntyre a Berkeley, Calif.,
importer whose
memoir made
driving around the French
countryside and lunching with
winemakers sound rather
romantic. I also followed Bobby
Kacher, a Washington, D.C.,
importer with a similar
reputation for bringing great
wine to the United States. While
Lynch and Kacher covered all of
France, they each had a strong
base in the Rhône.
Recently, I9ve been
rediscovering this wine region
and remembering why it caught
my fancy all those years ago.
I love the Rhône because of
history. The Phocaeans brought
viticulture to Marseille from
Greece in about 600 B.C., and the
Romans terraced the steep
hillsides of what we now call the
northern Rhône a few centuries
later. Several winery names
reference the Crusades. When
the papacy moved from Rome to
Avignon from 1309 to 1376, the
popes boosted the Rhône9s
reputation for fine wine and gave
us one of the region9s most
storied appellations,
Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
I love the Rhône for its
geography. The river winds

the Swiss Alps and turns south at

Limoncello pie is like a slice of sunshine straight from the Amalû Coast
The spirit of Italy is
unmistakably instilled
in this bright treat
BY E ITAN B ERNATH
one bite of this limoncello pie
takes me back to the Amalfi Coast,
where I visited a limoncello facto-
ry on a cliff overlooking the Tyr-
rhenian Sea. A guide at the distill-
ery took us behind the scenes and
showed us the entire process of
making limoncello.
Lemons from the groves are
zested into big, yellow spirals, and
those are soaked to extract the oil
and flavors before the mixture is
distilled. The factory smelled deli-
cious, the views were stunning,
and I was given a bottle of the
limoncello, too.
As soon as I got back to my
kitchen, I knew I had to make a
limoncello dessert. As a pie-over-
cake man, it didn9t take much de-
bate before I started dreaming
about this limoncello pie.
I start with a salted shortbread
cookie crust, which pairs beauti-
fully with the smooth, tangy cus-
tard, the candied lemons and the
hint of limoncello.
While the crust bakes, the cus-
tard filling comes together on the
stovetop. The custard gets trans-
ferred to the cookie-crust shell,
and while the pie chills, I cook
thinly sliced lemon in a limoncello
syrup until they take on a golden
translucence.
They make a beautiful garnish
atop dollops of limoncello-flavored
whipped cream that I make next.
A slice of this pie will transport
me to the Amalfi coast, and I hope
it does the same for you.
Limoncello Pie With Candied Lemons
8 servings
While the crust bakes, the custard filling comes together on the
stovetop. After the pie cools, it gets topped with limoncello candied
lemon slices and a dollop of fresh whipped limoncello cream.
Make ahead: The candied lemons can be refrigerated for up to 3 days
in advance.
storage: Refrigerate the pie for up to 3 days.
Active time: 40 mins; Total time: 1 hour
