Trump
documents
trial is set
for May
Judge rejects defense bid
for delay and prosecution
request for December date
By Alan Feuer
NEW YORK TIMES
The federal judge overseeing former president
Donald Trump’s prosecution on charges of ille-
gally retaining dozens of classified documents set
a trial date on Friday for May 2024, taking a mid-
dle position between the government’s request to
go to trial in December and Trump’s desire to
push the proceeding until after the 2024 elec-
tion.
In her order, Judge Aileen Cannon said the tri-
al was to be held in her home courthouse in Fort
Pierce, Fla., a coastal city 2½ hours north of Mi-
ami that will draw its jury pool from several
counties that Trump won handily in his two pre-
vious presidential campaigns.
Cannon also laid out a calendar of hearings,
throughout the remainder of this year and into
next year, including those concerning the han-
dling of the classified material at the heart of the
case.
The scheduling order came after a conten-
tious hearing Tuesday at the federal courthouse
in Fort Pierce where prosecutors working for the
special counsel, Jack Smith, and lawyers for
Trump sparred over when to hold the trial.
The timing of the proceeding is more impor-
tant in this case than in most criminal matters
because Trump is now the front-runner for the

AI companies agree to safeguards after pressure
Voluntary rules
help, but Biden
says more needed
By Michael D. Shear
and Cecilia Kang
NEW YORK TIMES
Seven leading AI companies
in the United States have agreed
to voluntary safeguards on the
technology’s development, the
White House announced Friday,
pledging to manage the risks of
the new tools even as they com-
pete over the potential of artifi-
cial intelligence.
The seven companies — Am-
azon, Anthropic, Google, Inflec-
tion, Meta, Microsoft, and Open-
AI — formally announced their
commitment to new standards
in the areas of safety, security,
and trust at a meeting with Pres-
ident Biden at the White House
on Friday.
“We must be clear-eyed and
vigilant about the threats ...
from emerging technologies that
can pose — don’t have to but can
pose — to our democracy and
N.D. shooter had
goal to ‘kill fast’
FARGO, N.D. — The man
who ambushed Fargo police of-
ficers during a traffic stop last
week, killing one and wound-
ing two others and a civilian,
searched the internet for terms
including “explosive ammo”
and “kill fast,” as well as for
what crowded events might be
happening in North Dakota’s
largest city, authorities said
Friday.
Mohamad Barakat, 37, was
apparently driven by hatred
and wanting to kill, and he
didn’t seem to be particular
about which group or individ-
ual he might target, state At-
torney General Drew Wrigley
said at a news conference.
On the day of the attack, Ju-
ly 14, Barakat loaded his car
with guns, a homemade gre-
nade, gasoline canisters, pro-
pane tanks containing impro-
vised explosives, and more
than 1,800 rounds of ammuni-
tion, authorities said.
About 2 miles from his
home, he came across a fender
bender by “happenstance” and
pulled over to watch from his
parked vehicle, Wrigley said.
With police and firefighters
busy helping, Barakat watched
for several minutes until the
officers walked by him, when
he lifted a .223-caliber rifle out
of his car window and began
firing, Wrigley said.
The rifle had a “binary trig-
ger” that allowed it to fire so
rapidly that it sounded like an
automatic weapon, the attor-
ney general said.
The three officers who were
shot had no time to react and
fell in rapid succession. Ba-
rakat also shot and wounded a
fleeing woman, Karlee Kos-
wick, who had been involved
in the fender bender, the attor-
ney general said.
The fourth officer at the
scene, Zach Robinson, engaged
Barakat in a shootout, which
ended with Robinson shooting
and killing Barakat as bystand-
ers crouched nearby.

Effort underway to round up rabbits in Fla. suburb
WILTON MANORS, Fla. —
Dan Trebowski was angry when

The White House offered no
details of a forthcoming presiden-
tial executive order that will deal
with a bigger problem: how to
control the ability of China and
other competitors to get ahold of
new AI programs, or the compo-
nents used to develop them.
That involves new restric-
tions on advanced semiconduc-
tors and on the export of the
large language models. Those
are hard to control — much of

pressed, on a thumb drive.
An executive order could pro-
voke more opposition from the
industry than Friday’s voluntary
commitments, which experts
said were already reflected in
the practices of the companies
involved. The promises won’t re-
strain the plans of the AI compa-
nies nor hinder the development
of their technologies. And as vol-

won’t be enforced by govern-
ment regulators.

Biden picks female
admiral to lead Navy
Historic nominee
to chiefs of staff
By Lolita C. Baldor
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Biden has chosen Admiral Lisa
Franchetti to lead the Navy, an
unprecedented choice that, if
she is confirmed, will make her
the first woman to be a Penta-
gon service chief and the first fe-
male member of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff.
Biden's decision goes against
the recommendation of his Pen-
tagon chief. But Franchetti, the
current vice chief of operations
for the Navy, has broad com-
mand and executive experience,
and was considered by insiders
to be the top choice for the job.
In a statement Friday, Biden
noted the historical significance
of her selection and said
“throughout her career, Admiral
Franchetti has demonstrated ex-
tensive expertise in both the op-
erational and policy arenas.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Aus-
tin recommended that Biden se-
lect Admiral Samuel Paparo, the
current commander of the Na-
vy’s Pacific Fleet, several US offi-
cials said last month. But in-
stead, Biden is nominating Pap-
aro to lead US Indo-Pacific
Command.
A senior administration offi-
cial said Biden chose Franchetti
based on the broad scope of her
experience at sea and ashore, in-
cluding a number of high-level
policy and administrative jobs
that give her deep knowledge in
budgeting and running the de-
partment.
At the same time, the official
acknowledged that Biden un-
derstands the historical nature
of the nomination and believes
that Franchetti will be an inspi-
ration to sailors, both men and
women. The official spoke earli-
er on condition of anonymity be-
cause the nomination had not
been made public.
Franchetti’s nomination will
join the list of hundreds of mili-
tary moves that are being held
up by Republican Senator Tom-
my Tuberville of Alabama. He is
blocking the confirmation of
military officers in protest of a
Defense Department policy that
pays for travel when a service
member has to go out of state to
get an abortion or other repro-
ductive care.
Biden, in his statement ,
blasted Tuberville for prioritiz-
ing his domestic political agen-
da over military readiness.
“What Senator Tuberville is
doing is not only wrong — it is

dealing with this new technolo-
gy thoughtfully and proactively.
But the rules that they agreed
on are largely the lowest com-
mon denominator and can be
interpreted by every company
differently. For example, the
firms are committed to strict cy-
bersecurity around the data and
code used to make the “language
models” on which generative AI
programs are developed. But
there is no specificity about
what that means — and the com-
panies would have an interest in
protecting their intellectual
property anyway.
Paul Barrett, the deputy di-
rector of the Stern Center for
Business and Human Rights at
New York University, said that
more needed to be done
“ T he voluntar y commit-
ments announced today are not
enforceable, which is why it’s vi-
tal that Congress, together with
the White House, promptly
crafts legislation requiring
transparency, privacy protec-
tions, and stepped up research
on the wide range of risks posed
by generative AI,” Barrett said.

vice chief of operations.
dangerous,” Biden said. “He is
risking our ability to ensure that
the United States Armed Forces
remain the greatest fighting
force in the history of the world.
And his Republican colleagues
in the Senate know it.”
Franchetti is slated to serve
as the acting Navy chief begin-
ning next month when Admiral
Michael Gilday, the current top
naval officer, retires as planned.
Several women have served
as military service secretaries as
political appointees, but never
as their top uniformed officer. A
woman, Admiral Linda L. Fa-
gan, is currently the comman-
dant of the Coast Guard. She,
however, is not a member of the
Joint Staff. The Coast Guard is
part of the Department of
Homeland Security, not the Pen-
tagon.
The news last month that the
defense chief had recommended
Papara stunned many in the
Pentagon because it was long
believed that Franchetti was in
line for the top Navy job.
In a statement Friday, Austin
praised the nomination, saying,
“I’m very proud that Admiral
Franchetti has been nominated
to be the first woman Chief of
Naval Operations and member
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
where she will continue to in-
spire all of us.”
A surface warfare officer, she
has commanded at all levels,
heading Sixth Fleet and Naval
Forces Korea. She was the second
woman to be promoted to four-
star admiral, and she did multi-
ple deployments, including as
commander of a naval destroyer
and two stints as aircraft carrier
strike group commander.
Paparo, who if confirmed will
replace Admiral John Aquilino,
is a naval aviator and a Topgun
graduate with more than 6,000
flight hours in Navy fighter jets
and 1,100 landings on aircraft
carriers. A Pennsylvania native,
he graduated from Villanova
University and was commis-
sioned into the Navy in 1987.

Spain’s election raises party questions
Voters deciding
which side keeps
bad company
By Jason Horowitz
NEW YORK TIMES
BARCELONA — The war in
Ukraine is raging. Scorching tem-
peratures are prompting a cli-
mate reckoning. Economic inse-
curity abounds. But the Spanish
election may pivot on the ques-
tion of bad company.
As Spaniards prepare to vote
in national elections Sunday, ex-
perts say voters are being asked
to decide who — the center-left
government or the favored cen-
ter-right opposition — has the
more unsavory, less acceptable,
and dangerously extremist
friends.
Polls suggest that Prime Min-
ister Pedro Sánchez, the Socialist
leader, will be ousted by conser-
vatives who have made hay of
his reliance on allies who have
tried to secede from Spain. They
include northern Spain’s Catalo-
nian independence movement
and political descendants of the
Basque secessionist group ETA,
who infuriated voters before lo-
cal elections in May when they
fielded 44 convicted terrorists as
candidates, including seven
found guilty of murder.
UNREST IN NAIROBI — An opposition supporter threw a teargas canister fired by antiriot police Friday during
clashes with Kenyan police officers on the third day of anti-government protests in Nairobi.

temalan agents and police raid-

Andrea Reyes, a lawyer and
party member, confirmed that
the agents and police had come
to search for documents. The
Attorney General’s Office also
confirmed the search.
In an audio recording

LONDON — Ludwig van

Sánchez’s Socialists have, for
their part, raised alarm about
their conservative opponents’ ex-
tremist allies in the Vox party. Vox
could become the first far-right
party to enter government since
the Franco dictatorship if the
leading conservative party wins
and needs its support.
The hyper-focus on political
bedfellows has obscured a de-
bate about critical issues in
Spain such as housing, the econ-
omy, and employment, as well as
the prime minister’s actual re-
cord, which includes winning
from the European Union a
price cap on gas for electricity.
“This election is about the
partners,” said Pablo Simón, a
political scientist at Madrid’s
Carlos III University. “The part-
ners of the right and the part-
ners of the left.”
Neither the conservative Pop-
ular Party nor Sánchez’s Social-
ists have gone up or down radi-
cally in support since the last
elections, in 2019, and neither is
expected to win an absolute ma-
jority of Spain’s 350-seat Con-
gress.
Instead, the Populist Party
and its potential nationalist part-
ners in Vox have used the prime
minister’s allies to create a pic-
ture of what they call “Sánchis-
mo.” They define it as the prime

to break any promise and make
any alliance to stay in power.
The main beef is his alliance
with pro-independence Catalans.
During Spain’s last national elec-
tion, Sánchez promised to arrest
the leading Catalonian secession-
ists. But soon after, with his gov-
ernment’s survival depending on
their support, he began negotiat-
ing their pardons instead.
“He succumbed to political
pressure and the need to govern
the country,” said Gabriel Ru-
fián, a member of parliament
with Esquerra Republicana, a
pro-Catalan independence party.
Conservatives also frequently
recall that Sánchez once claimed
he would not be able to sleep
through the night if the far-left
Podemos party entered his gov-
ernment. But Sánchez needed
the party, so it did.
Since then, Podemos has col-
lapsed and, experts say, its mis-
takes and overreaches have
turned moderate and swing vot-
ers to the conservatives. Sánchez
is hoping that a new left-wing
umbrella group, Sumar, can
make up for the losses and get
him to a threshold where he can
again turn to his secessionist al-
lies for support in parliament.
In an interview on National
Spanish Radio on Sunday, Sán-

The Dutch capital is one of

Indonesian market ends slaughter

Authorities on Friday an-

years-long campaign by local
activists and world celebrities.

“Of course,” Sánchez said. “To
carry out a labor reform, I would
look for votes, even under the
stones.”
Supporters of Sánchez point
out that the negotiations have
greatly reduced tensions with
Catalan’s separatist movement,
but conservative voters say that
the near-secession still leaves a
bad taste in their mouths.
Even more so, they say they
are disgusted by Sánchez’s de-
pendence on the votes of EH
Bildu, the descendants of the po-
litical wing of ETA, which killed
more than 850 people as it, too,
sought to carve out an indepen-
dent country from Spain.
That Basque terrorist group
disbanded more than a decade
ago, and Spain’s judiciary has
deemed Bildu a legitimate and
democratic political group. But
for many Spaniards, it remains
tainted by the bloody legacy of
the past and concern for the
country’s cohesion in the future.
Even Sánchez’s key allies rec-

Russia scolded
for backing out
of grain deal
Port attacks also
draw UN ire
By Claire Parker
and Robyn Dixon
WASHINGTON POST
Russia is facing a barrage of
criticism from countries around
the world — including some of
its friends — for its strikes on
Ukrainian ports and its decision
this week to suspend participa-
tion in a UN deal that allowed
Ukrainian grain to be exported
through the Black Sea.
Senior diplomats at a meet-
ing of the UN Security Council
on Friday excoriated Russia’s
moves, which have sent grain
prices soaring and which offi-
cials warned would exacerbate
global food insecurity, leading
some people in the world’s poor-
est countries to starve.
“Russia is waging war on the
world’s food supply,” Linda
Thomas-Greenfield, US ambas-
sador to the United Nations,
warned the council. “Russian ex-
porters are already benefiting
while millions who cannot af-
ford higher-priced grain suffer,
especially people in the Middle
East and Africa. Let’s be clear:
Russia has zero, zero legitimate
reason to suspend its participa-
tion in this arrangement.”
Gabon's representative la-
mented the apparent conclusion
of a rare diplomatic success sto-
ry in the Ukraine war, which had
“allowed us to hope that a cer-
tain degree of calm would begin
to prevail, namely in terms of
food security.”
The Black Sea Grain Initia-
tive, brokered by the United
Nations and Turkey last July, re-
started shipments of Ukrainian
grain after a months-long
Russian blockade caused global
food prices to skyrocket. The
blockade set off alarm bells
about rising hunger, at a time
when climate change and con-
flict were already fueling food in-
security.
One of the two agreements
guaranteed safe passage of com-
mercial ships from the Ukraini-
an Black Sea ports of Odesa,
Chernomorsk, and Yuzhny, with
inspection teams in Turkey
charged with checking for unau-
thorized people and cargo. It al-
so forbade parties from attack-
ing civilian vessels and port facil-
ities tied to the initiative. A
parallel accord made it easier for
Russia to export grain and fertil-
izer — products that were not
under Western sanctions, but
with which banks and traders
had been wary of involvement
for fear of being penalized.
Russia had repeatedly threat-
ened to pull out of the agree-
ment, complaining that Western
sanctions were still hindering
the export of Russian agricultur-
al products. Russia has demand-
ed better global access for its
own agricultural products and
wants the Russian Agricultural
Bank — which has financed oil
shipments since the Ukraine in-
vasion — to be reconnected to
the SWIFT global payments sys-
tem.

ident Vladimir Putin detailing

mission to connect a subsidiary
of the Russian Agricultural Bank

“I am deeply disappointed
that my proposals went unheed-
ed,” Guterres said Monday.
China’s deputy UN ambassa-
dor Geng Shuang noted
Guterres’s commitment to make
every effort to ensure that both
Ukrainian grain and Russian
food and fertilizer get to world
markets. He expressed hope that
Russia and the United Nations
will work together to resume ex-
ports from both countries “at an
early date” in the interest of
“maintaining international food
security and alleviating the food
crisis in developing countries in
particular.”
In recent months, Russia
held up inspections of vessels
seeking to exit the Black Sea,
slowing the flow of goods. Still,
under the deal, more than 1,000
vessels carried some 36 million
tons of food commodities from
Ukrainian ports to countries
around the world, according to
UN figures.
Moscow’s withdrawal — cou-
pled with its announcement that
it would consider all ships en
route to Ukrainian Black Sea
ports to be involved in the con-
flict as of Thursday — effectively
reimposed Russia’s blockade.
That could allow Russian grain
to replace Ukrainian grain in
global markets.

UK voters hand Sunak’s Conservative Party two defeats
Labour, Liberal

NEW YORK TIMES
LONDON — Britain’s Conser-
vative Party suffered crushing
defeats in the race for what had
previously been two safe seats in
Parliament, but narrowly avoid-
ed losing a third contest, in elec-
tion results Friday that sent an
ominous signal about the politi-
cal future of Prime Minister Ri-
shi Sunak.
The main opposition Labour
Party won its biggest by-election
victory since 1945 in Selby and
Ainsty, in Yorkshire in the north
of England — a dramatic shift in
fortunes and a worrisome defeat
for the Tories in a region that
had undergirded their sweeping
national victory three years ago.

Israeli reservists threaten to stop serving
Cite objections
to plan for court
By Patrick Kingsley
and Ronen Bergman
NEW YORK TIMES
JERUSALEM — More than
1,000 pilots and other personnel
in the Israeli air force reserve
said Friday they would not re-
port for duty next week if the
government pushes through a
contentious plan to reduce judi-
cial power without broader con-
sensus.
In a joint letter released Fri-
day, 1,142 air force reservists —
including 235 fighter pilots, 98
transport plane pilots, 89 heli-
copter pilots, and 173 drone op-
erators — said they would not
serve if the government pro-
ceeded with its plan to reduce
the ways in which the Supreme
Court can overrule the govern-
ment.
“Legislation that allows the
government to act in an ex-
tremely unreasonable manner
will harm the security of the
state of Israel, will cause a loss of
trust and a violation of my con-
sent to continue risking my life
— and will lead, with deep sor-
row and lack of choice, to the
suspension of my volunteer ser-
vice in the reserves,” the letter
said.
If such a large number of re-
servists follow through with
their threat, defense officials
have said it could significantly
affect the capacity of the air
force and its operational readi-
ness.
Israeli fighter squadrons are
strongly reliant on reserve pilots
who have regular civilian jobs
but who volunteer for several
days each month to train or par-
ticipate in combat and recon-
naissance missions.
The total number of profes-
sional and reservist pilots has
never been declared by the air
force. But officials say that Isra-
el’s regular strikes in the Gaza
Frome, in England’s southwest,
revealing further cracks in what
had long been a heartland of To-
ry voters.
But the Conservatives avoid-
ed a sweep by narrowly holding
on to Uxbridge and South Ruis-
lip, in the northwestern fringes
of London, a district that had
been represented by the former
prime minister, Boris Johnson.
For Sunak, who has been
weighed down by a cost-of-living
crisis and scandals involving
Johnson and other Tories, the
victory in Uxbridge was likely an
outlier — driven by an unpopu-
lar plan by London’s Labour
mayor, Sadiq Khan, to extend a
costly low-emission zone to en-
compass the district.
The other two races, analysts
said, are a better gauge of Brit-
ain’s anti-incumbent mood after
13 years of Conservative rule
and provided a possible preview
of the general election that Su-
nak must call by January 2025.
Voters in reliably Tory bas-
tions of Britain’s north and
south came out strongly against
the Conservatives, suggesting
Strip and Syria, patrol missions
over Israel, and surveillance
missions over Lebanon and the
occupied West Bank are fre-
quently led by reserve pilots and
drone operators. Many of them
have more experience than
those in the full-time forces. An
Israeli strike on Iran, which
Prime Minister Benjamin Ne-
tanyahu has said Israel must be
ready to carry out if needed to
protect itself, would also heavily
rely on reservists.
Even a shor t break from
training could affect their ability
to fly, since it would take time
for pilots to regain battle-ready
sharpness, the military says.
The move reflects the deep
social ruptures that have been
widened by the government’s
judicial plan.
In a vote next week, the gov-
ernment seeks to bar the Su-
preme Court from overruling
the national government using
the legal standard of “reason-
ableness,” a concept that judges
use to block ministerial appoint-
ments and contest planning de-
cisions, among other measures.
The government and its sup-
porters say the legislation will
improve democracy by giving
elected lawmakers more author-
ity and will allow them to more
easily implement the policies
they were elected to enact. The
court can still overrule the gov-
ernment using other legal mea-
sures.
“Israel will continue to be a
democratic state,” Netanyahu
said in a speech Thursday. “It
will continue to be a liberal
state.”
He criticized reservists who
have attempted to shape govern-
ment policy by refusing to serve.
“In a democracy, the military is
subordinate to the government
— it does not compel the govern-
ment,” he said. “When elements
in the military try, with threats,
to dictate policy to the govern-
ment, this is unacceptable in
any democracy.”
T h e B o s t o n
that unless there is a significant
change in the political landscape
in the coming months, the To-
ries are on track to lose to La-
bour in the next national elec-
tion.
“No matter how much they
tr y to make it all about Ux-
bridge, Conservative MPs will
know in their heart of hearts
that this was a very bad night for
their party,” said Tim Bale, a pro-
fessor of politics at Queen Mary
University of London.
The success of Labour in one
district and the Liberal Demo-
crats in another, he said, sug-
gested that people were voting
tactically to increase the odds of
defeating the Conservatives.
“Voters are pretty clued-up
now as to which opposition par-
ty to support if they want to get
rid of the government next year,”
Bale said.
By-elections occur when a
seat in the House of Commons
becomes vacant between gener-
al elections. These races were
triggered by the departures of
Johnson, who was rebuked by
his peers for misleading them
The opposition fears that the
legislation undermines the qual-
ity of Israel’s democracy, re-
moves a key check on govern-
ment overreach and will allow
the government — the most ul-
tranationalist and ultraconser-
vative in Israeli history — to
build a less pluralist society.
Critics of the government al-
so say it is legitimate for civil-

In a statement, the Israel De-

ists who had already declared
their intent to stop serving had
not in fact formally notified the
military of their intention.
The air force is not monolith-
ic, and many officers — both in
the full-time force and among
its reserve — have either
pledged to carry on serving de-
spite their personal political
opinions, or said they support
the judicial changes in the first
place.
In the streets, protests con-
tinued. Thousands of Israelis
joined a march from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem on Friday in a dem-
onstration against Netanyahu’s
coalition.
The demonstrators planned
to camp overnight at Shoresh,
about 11 miles from Jerusalem,
before heading to Israel’s parlia-
ment on Saturday, the Jewish
day of rest.
Unrest also continued on the
occupied West Bank. Israeli
forces shot and killed a 17-year-
old Palestinian boy, Palestinian
health officials said, the latest
bloodshed in a more than year-
long cycle of violence that has
gripped the region.
The boy — whom Palestinian
health officials identified as Mu-
hammad Fouad Atta al-Bayed —
was shot in the head by Israeli
forces during unrest in the vil-
lage of Umm Safa, north of Ra-
mallah. The village has been a
target of attacks by Jewish set-
tlers in recent weeks.
The Palestinian news agency
Wafa reported that Israeli forces
had fired live ammunition, tear
gas, and stun grenades during
confrontations with local resi-
dents.
The Israeli army said that a

der police unit opened fire after
masked suspects threw stones
and rocks at Israeli forces. It

that Sunak might have rushed
into a Cabinet reshuffle Friday.

Quran desecration in
Sweden sparks protests
Thousands of Muslims filled streets
to express rage outside embassies
By Abby Sewell
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Thousands of
people took to the streets in a
handful of Muslim-majority
countries Friday to express
their outrage at the desecration
of a copy of the Quran in Swe-
den, a day af ter protes ters
stormed the country’s embassy
in Iraq.
The protests in Iraq, Leba-
non, and Iran that followed
weekly prayers were controlled
and peaceful, in contrast to
scenes in Baghdad on Thursday,
when demonstrators occupied
the Swedish Embassy com-
pound for several hours and set
a small fire.
The embassy staff had been
evacuated before the storming,
and Swedish news agency TT
reported that they were relocat-
ed to Stockholm for security
reasons.
For Muslims, any desecra-
tion of the Quran, their holy
text, is abhorrent.
Under scorching heat Friday,
thousands gathered in Bagh-
dad’s Sadr City, a stronghold of
influential Iraqi Shiite cleric
and political leader Muqtada al-
Sadr, some of whose followers
took part in the attack on the
Swedish Embassy. They bran-
dished Qurans, burned the
Swedish flag and the LGBTQ
rainbow flag and chanted, “Yes,
yes to the Quran, no, no to Isra-
el.”
Iraqi Prime Minister
Mohammed Shia al-Sudani had
called on protesters and securi-
ty forces to ensure that the
demonstrations remained
peaceful.
In the southern suburbs of
Beirut, thousands more gath-
ered at a protest called by the
Iran-backed militia and politi-
cal party Hezbollah, also bran-
dishing copies of the holy book
and chanting “with our blood,
we protect the Quran.” Some
burned Swedish flags.
The secretar y-general of
Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah,
in a video address Thursday
night called on Muslims to de-
mand their governments expel
Sweden’s ambassadors. Iraq cut
diplomatic ties with Sweden
earlier that day.
“I invite brothers and sisters
in all neighborhoods and villag-
es to attend all mosques, carry-
ing their Qurans and sit in
them, calling on the state to
take a stance toward Sweden,”
Nasrallah said in the address,
according to Lebanon’s state-
run National News Agency.
In Iran, thousands marched
i n Te h r a n a n d o t h e r c i t i e s
across the country, demonstra-
tions that were aired on state
television. In the capital, pro-
testers gathered in the city cen-
ter, shouting: “Death to the
Americanized Sweden! Death
to Israel! Death to enemies of
the supreme leader!”
Student protesters pelted
the Swedish Embassy building
that was closed for the week-
end, which in Iran is Friday and
Saturday, with eggs and de-

after a week of better-than-ex-

Still, for Labour, the victory
in Selby and Ainsty was one of
its most striking in decades: The
party’s candidate, Keir Mather,
overturned the largest Conserva-
tive majority in a by-election
since 1945 with a huge swing in
the vote. At 25, Mather will be-
come the youngest member of
the House of Commons.
“This is a historic result that
shows that people are looking at
Labour and seeing a changed
party that is focused entirely on
the priorities of working people
with an ambitious, practical
plan to deliver,” the Labour lead-
er, Keir Starmer, said.
For the Liberal Democrats,
the victory in Somerton and
Frome was numerically even
more impressive: Sarah Dyke, a
Somerset counselor, overturned
a Tory majority of more than
19,000 to win the seat by 11,008
votes.
manded the expulsion of the
Swedish ambassador.
“The Quran talks to humans
all the time, and its voice will
never be stopped,” protester
Fatemeh Jafari said. “They can
never destroy the Quran! Even
if they burn it, we will stand by
it!”
The demonstrations come
after Swedish police permitted
a protest Thursday in which an
Iraqi of Christian origin living
in Stockholm — now a self-de-
scribed atheist — threatened to
burn a copy of the Quran. In the
end, the man kicked and stood
on the holy book outside of the
Iraqi Embassy. He gave similar
treatment to an Iraqi flag and
to photos of Sadr and of Iran’s
supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei.
T he right to hold public
demonstrations is protected by
the constitution in Sweden, and
blasphemy laws were aban-
doned in the 1970s. Police gen-
erally give permission based on
whether they believe a public
gathering can be held without
major disruptions or safety
risks.
The reaction in Iraq was par-
ticularly virulent, although no
embassy staff were injured
since none were present. After
protesters left the embassy, dip-
lomats closed it to visitors with-
out specifying when it would re-
open.
The state-run Iraqi News
Agency reported that some 20
people were arrested in connec-
tion with the storming of the
embassy. Among those arrested
were an Associated Press pho-
tographer and two Reuters staff
who were covering the protests.

released hours later without
charges, following an order

Ala. lawmakers fail to create 2nd Black-majority district
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Ala-
bama lawmakers on Friday re-
fused to create a second majori-
ty-Black
POLITICAL congres-
NOTEBOOK sional dis-
trict, a move that could defy a
recent order from the US Su-
preme Court to give minority
voters a greater voice in elec-
tions and trigger a renewed bat-
tle over the state’s political map.
The legislation now goes to
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey,
who is expected to sign it.
Lawmakers in the Republi-
can-dominated House and Sen-
ate instead passed a plan that
would increase the percentage
of Black voters from about 31
percent to 40 percent in the
state’s Second District. A confer-
ence committee proposed the
map as a compromise between
plans that had percentages of 42
percent and 38 percent, respec-
tively, for the southeast Alabama
district.
State lawmakers faced a
deadline to adopt new lines after
the Supreme Court in June up-
held a three-judge panel’s find-
ing that the current state map —
with one majority-Black district
out of seven in a state that is 27
percent Black — likely violates
the federal Voting Rights Act.
Voting rights advocates and
Black lawmakers said the plan
invoked the state’s Jim Crow his-
tory of treating Black voters un-
fairly.
Former US attorney general
Eric Holder, chairman of the Na-
tional Democratic Redistricting
Committee, said the map “and
the Republican politicians who
supported it, would make
George Wallace proud,” refer-
ring to the segregationist former
Alabama governor.
“It arrogantly defies a very
conservative United States Su-
preme Court decision ... from
just weeks ago,” Holder said in a
statement.
Republicans argued that
their proposal complies with the
directive to create a second dis-
trict where Black voters could
influence the outcome of con-
gressional elections. Opponents
said it flouted a directive from
the panel to create a second ma-
jority-Black district or “some-
thing quite close to it” so that
Black voters “have an opportuni-
ty to elect a representative of
their choice.”

al Convention in July and the
formal start of the general elec-

Trump’s advisers have been
blunt that winning the presi-
dency is how he hopes to beat
the legal charges he is facing,
and he has adopted a strategy
of delaying the trial, which is
expected to take several weeks,
for as long as possible.
The Justice Department de-
clined to comment on Cannon’s
decision. But it did not come as
a surprise to prosecutors, who
set their initial, aggressive
timetable expecting that she
would select a date, probably
sometime in the first half of
2024, and reject the Trump le-
gal team’s request to push it
past the election, according to a
Alabama state Representative Chris England criticized a congressional redistricting plan.
Republican to win that district.
It will never, ever elect a Demo-
crat. They won’t elect a Black.
They won’t elect a minority,”
said Senator Rodger Smither-
man, a Democrat from Birming-
ham.
Republicans have been reluc-
tant to create a Democratic-
leaning district and are engag-
ing in a high-stakes wager that
the courts will accept their pro-
posal. Republicans argued that
the map meets the court’s direc-
tive and draws compact districts
that comply with redistricting
guidelines.
“If you think about where we
were, the Supreme Court ruling
was 5-4, so there’s just one judge
that needed to see something
different. And I think the move-
ment that we have and what
we’ve come to compromise on
today gives us a good shot,”
House Speaker Nathaniel Led-
better said.
Republican Senate President
Pro Tem Greg Reed said he be-
lieved the changes to the district
make it a so-called opportunity
district.
“I’m confident that we’ve
done a good job. It will be up to
the courts to decide whether
they agree,” Reed said.
The debate in Alabama is be-
ing closely watched across the
nation, and could be mirrored in
fights in Louisiana, Georgia,
Texas, and other states.
The three-judge panel ruled
in 2022 that the current legisla-
tive map likely violates the fed-
person familiar with the situa-
tion.
It is not clear whether the
May 2024 date will hold. As
part of her order, Cannon des-
ignated Trump’s case as “com-
plex,” a move that could allow
for additional delays.
In a 38-count indictment
filed last month by Smith’s of-
fice, the former president was
charged with illegally holding
on to a trove of 31 documents
containing sensitive national
security information in viola-
tion of the Espionage Act.
He was also accused of con-
spiring with one of his person-
al aides, Walt Nauta, to ob-
struct the government’s repeat-
ed efforts to reclaim the
documents.
Se tting the schedule for
Trump’s trial was the first sig-
nificant decision in the case for
Cannon, who was appointed by
Trump in 2020. She was ran-
domly assigned to the case in
June and faced enormous scru-
tiny after having made some
rulings last year in a related
matter that were favorable to
Trump and that were ultimate-
ly overturned in a stinging re-
versal by a federal appeals
court.
But in her scheduling order
Friday, she split the difference
between the two sides, giving
neither the government nor
the defense what they had
sought.
She rejected Trump’s re-
quests to delay the trial until af-
ter the election or to put off set-
ting any schedule at all for the
moment, saying that some ba-
sic amount of case manage-
ment was required. But she al-
so noted that the government’s
proposal to seat a jury in De-
cember was “atypically acceler-
ated and inconsistent with en-
suring a fair trial.”
Cannon listed a number of
reasons the case needed time to
move toward trial.

CIA director returns to
Cabinet position
President Biden on Friday el-
evated CIA Director William
Burns to become a member of
his Cabinet, citing the agency’s
work in providing “good intelli-
gence, delivered with honesty
and integrity” on China, the
Russia-Ukraine conflict, and
emerging technologies.
“Bill has always given me
clear, straightforward analysis
that prioritizes the safety and se-
curity of the American people,

veillance camera footage, and
more than 1,500 pages of clas-
sified documents. There was al-
so additional discovery materi-
al from electronic devices
seized by the government dur-
ing its investigation.
All of that, Cannon wrote,
was on top of what is expected
to be a constellation of complex
pretrial motions filed by
Trump’s legal team.
During the hearing Tues-
day, lawyers for Trump said
they might file motions argu-
ing that Trump was allowed to
remove documents from the
White House under the Presi-
dential Records Act and at-
tacking the special counsel’s
authority to bring charges in
the first place.
They also noted that they
would probably question the
classification status of certain
documents central to the case
and challenge the validity of the
grand jury process in Washing-
ton and Miami that led to the
indictment.
“The court will be faced with
extensive pretrial motion prac-
tice on a diverse number of le-
gal and factual issues,” Cannon
wrote.
By scheduling the trial for
the middle of the presidential
campaign, Cannon implicitly
rejected another argument
Trump’s legal team had raised
in court Tuesday: that the for-
mer president could never get a
fair jury during an election cy-
cle because of what one of his
lawyers, Christopher Kise,
called “the extraordinary and
unrelenting press coverage.”
David Harbach, one of
Smith’s top deputies, took issue
with that position, saying that
the media coverage of Trump
would not abate even after the

“The publicity surrounding
President Trump is chronic and
almost permanent,” Harbach
said. “ There is no reason to
think that it’s going to get any
better.”
The documents case is just
one of the criminal and civil le-
gal matters confronting the for-
mer president as he seeks to re-
turn to the White House.
Trump is also under indict-
ment in Manhattan on charges
stemming from hush-money
payments to a porn star before
the 2016 election. That case is
scheduled to go to trial in
March 2024.
He was also informed this
week that he could be indicted
on federal charges related to his
efforts to remain in office after
his defeat in the 2020 election,
and the district attorney in Ful-

The new status — which is

ty boost for the agency after

Court cites improper

WASHINGTON — FBI em-

last names of a US senator and a
state senator, according to a
court opinion released Friday.
The disclosure could further
complicate Biden administra-
tion efforts to renew a major spy
program that already faces bi-
partisan opposition in Congress.
Another FBI employee im-
properly queried the Social Se-
curity number of a state judge
who alleged civil rights viola-
tions by a municipal chief of po-
lice, according to the opinion by
the chief judge of the Foreign In-

News of the latest violations
comes as the Biden administra-
tion faces a difficult battle in
persuading Congress to renew
Section 702 of the Foreign Intel-
ligence Surveillance Act, which
allows spy agencies to collect
swaths of emails and other com-
munications.
Already this year, spy officials
have disclosed that the FBI im-

Trump’s firm settles suit
from Cohen over bills
By Larry Neumeister

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Donald
Trump’s company and his for-
mer longtime lawyer and fixer
Michael Cohen have settled a
lawsuit over Cohen’s claims that
he was unfairly stuck with big
legal bills after getting entan-
gled in investigations into the
former president.
Lawyers for the two sides
told the judge they had reached
a settlement during a video con-
ference Friday in Manhattan,
just as Cohen’s 2019 lawsuit
was slated to go to trial Monday
in a state court. Details of the
agreement were not made pub-
lic.
Cohen said Friday the matter
“has been resolved in a manner
satisfactory to all parties.” Mes-
sages seeking comment were
left with lawyers for Trump’s
company, the Trump Organiza-
tion.
Cohen claimed in his lawsuit
that the Trump Organization
had promised to pay his legal
expenses and did so for a time,
footing more than $1.7 million
in legal fees.
But, Cohen said, the compa-
ny reneged after he began coop-
erating with federal prosecutors
in their investigations related to
Trump’s business dealings in
Russia and attempts to silence
women with embarrassing sto-
ries about his personal life.
Cohen’s lawyers stopped rep-
resenting him after the compa-
ny stopped paying. His lawsuit
said that harmed his ability to
respond to the federal investiga-
tions.
In court papers, the Trump
Organization has disputed that
it made certain promises and
has said it satisfied any obliga-
tions it did have. The company
also has argued that Cohen’s in-
volvement in the federal investi-
the probe of Russian ties to his
2016 campaign.
Patrick Toomey, deputy di-
rector of the ACLU’s National
Security Project, said in a state-
ment that the latest errors show
it is “long past time for Congress
to step in.”
“As Congress debates reau-
thorizing Section 702, these
opinions show why that can’t
happen without fundamental
reforms,” he said.

Neal said the whistle-blower
allegations, aired Wednesday
during a hearing before the
House Oversight and Account-

taken seriously but that Republi-
cans had made them an obses-
sion.
“This is not about defending
Hunter Biden. That’s not my

been handling the matter, par-
ticularly on the Ways and Means
Committee. “He is a private citi-
zen. If the Justice Department
has issues with him, then they
have issues with him.”

Nuclear test’s fallout stretched farther than imagined
By Lesley M.M. Blume
NEW YORK TIMES
In July 1945, as J. Robert
Oppenheimer and the other re-
searchers of the Manhattan Proj-
ect prepared to test their brand-
new atomic bomb in a New Mex-
ico desert, they knew relatively
little about how that mega-
weapon would behave.
On July 16, when the plutoni-
um-implosion device was set off
atop a 100-foot metal tower in a
test code-named “Trinity,” the re-
sultant blast was much stronger
than anticipated. The irradiated
mushroom cloud also went many
times higher into the atmosphere
than expected: some 50,000 to
70,000 feet. Where it would ulti-
mately go was anyone’s guess.
A study, released Thursday
before submission to a scientific
journal for peer review, shows
that the cloud and its fallout
went farther than anyone in the
Manhattan Project had imag-
ined in 1945. Using state-of-the-
art modeling software and re-
cently uncovered historical
w e a t h e r d a t a , t h e s t u d y ’s
authors say that radioactive fall-
out from the Trinity test reached
46 states, Canada, and Mexico
within 10 days of detonation.
“It’s a huge finding and, at
the same time, it shouldn’t sur-
prise anyone,” said the study’s
lead author, Sébastien Philippe,
a researcher and scientist at
Princeton University’s Program
on Science and Global Security.
The study also reanalyzed
fallout from all 93 above-ground
US atomic tests in Nevada and
created a map depicting com-
posite deposition of radioactive
material across the contiguous
United States.
How much of Trinity’s fallout
still remains at original deposi-
tion sites across the country is
difficult to calculate, said Susan
Alzner, an author of the study
and the cofounder of shift7, an
organization that coordinated
the study’s research.
“It’s a frozen-in-time image,”
she said.
The findings could be cited
by advocates aiming to increase
the number of people eligible for
compensation by the federal
man in 2019. That’s a sharp con-
trast with the new chairman, Ja-
son Smith of Missouri, 43, who
after just eight years on the com-
mittee became its youngest
chairman ever in January when
Republicans took control of the
House. Upon securing the gavel,
Smith, a self-described “fire-
band,” promised “aggressive
oversight.”

warned at the time that Demo-
crats had opened the door to pri-
vate tax information being used
as a political weapon, but insist
that’s not what they’re doing
with Hunter Biden.
Last month, after a four-year
investigation by a Trump-ap-
pointed US attorney, Hunter
Biden reached an agreement
with the Justice Department to
plead guilty to misdemeanor tax
charges and a separate gun
charge that likely will keep him
out of prison.
In April, an IRS whistle-blow-
er, later joined by a second one,
came forward and alleged the
Justice Department interfered in
their investigation of Hunter
Biden, including delaying the in-
vestigation so the statute of limi-
tation on some of his actions had
expired and blocking the execu-
tion of a search warrant for Pres-
ident Biden’s home. Justice De-
partment officials have said
there was no special treatment
of the president’s son and noted
that the investigation was over-
seen by Trump-appointed US At-
torney David C. Weiss, who was
given full autonomy in the case.
But in the hearing Wednes-
day, one of the whistle-blowers,
Gary Shapley, said he heard
Weiss say he would not be the
“deciding official” on any Hunter
Biden charges. Weiss and Justice
Department officials have de-
nied the allegations.
Republicans, who launched
multiple investigations into

control of the House, called the

The drift of the Trinity cloud
was monitored by Manhattan
Project physicists and doctors,
but they underestimated its

were radioactive hazards, but
they were thinking about acute
risk in the areas around the im-

plea agreement a “sweetheart
deal” engineered by Biden ad-
ministration officials that avoid-
ed more serious felony charges
against him.
“The Ways and Means Com-
mittee is charged with ensuring
that the tax code is enforced fair-
ly,” Smith said at Wednesday’s
oversight committee hearing.
“Clearly, the president only be-
lieves in making taxpayers pay
their fair share if they don’t
share his last name.”
The whistle-blowers initially
testified in private to the Ways
and Means Committee and re-
vealed details of Hunter Biden’s
earnings, including that he re-
ceived at least $8.3 million in in-
come from 2014-19 from foreign
companies, with some based in
China, Romania, and Ukraine.
Taxpayer information is private,
but the Ways and Means Com-
mittee, along with the Senate Fi-
nance Committee, can vote to re-
lease it.
The Ways and Means Com-
mittee met in private last month
and voted along party lines to re-
lease the transcripts that includ-
ed Hunter Biden’s tax informa-
tion. Smith said that the infor-
mation was “clearly in the public
interest” and acknowledged that
it could not be used by other
committees investigating Hunt-
er Biden unless Ways and Means
voted to release it, according to a
transcript of the meeting.
Neal led the Democratic
charge at the meeting, arguing
that the Hunter Biden case was a
law enforcement matter outside
the committee’s purview and re-
jecting any comparison to his ef-
fort to obtain Trump’s tax re-
turns.
“For our part, and for my part
for sure, we exercised restraint,
always stuck to the facts, and
never previewed our work in the
press,” Neal said, according to
the transcript. “We conducted a
thorough investigation and were
only granted this authority after
our purpose was affirmed by the
United States Supreme Court.”
Neal said that the committee

had a legitimate legislative pur-
pose, as required by law, for ob-
taining and then releasing
Trump’s tax returns: assessing
how the IRS “audits and enforc-
es the federal tax laws against a
president.” Although the law re-
quires the IRS to audit the presi-
dent’s tax returns annually, no
audit was launched of Trump’s
returns until April 3, 2019, the
day that Neal requested them,
the committee found. Such an
audit was crucial in Trump’s
case, Neal said, because he was
the first major party nominee in
decades not to publicly release
his tax returns.
After Trump’s Treasury De-
partment, which oversees the
IRS, refused the request for the
tax returns, Neal went to court
in July 2019 to obtain them. But
some progressives criticized him
for the pace of his effort — first
waiting about three months af-
ter becoming Ways and Means
Committee chairman to request
the returns from Treasury and
then another three months to
file suit. The lengthy legal fight
meant the returns were not re-
leased before the 2020 presiden-
tial election and ultimately not
until December after the final le-
gal challenge was rejected.

Warren assured Groves that an

could be undertaken later.
In the decades that followed,
a lack of crucial data bedeviled
assessments and attempted
studies of the fallout. The United
States had no national monitor-
ing stations in place in 1945 to
track the fallout, Philippe said.

tor of the Revolving Door Proj-
ect, a progressive public interest
group, criticized Neal’s slow-
paced approach to Trump’s taxes
in 2019. He continues to believe
Neal could have acted quicker,
but said the approach “arguably
strengthened” the notion the
committee must demonstrate a
legislative need before obtaining
private tax information. Still,
he’s not sure that will matter in
the Hunter Biden case.
“I suspect Smith can con-
struct a legislative pretext for
this investigation, even as I’m
skeptical it is anything other
than a political stunt,” Hauser
said in an email.
Smith said the Hunter Biden
case highlights the need for “leg-
islative reforms that protect
against interference and favorit-
ism.” But Neal has argued that
Republicans have no real legisla-
tive purpose in digging into
Hunter Biden’s taxes.
“It’s throwing up mud and
seeing if anything sticks,” Neal
told the Globe. “I have no prob-
lem with oversight, that’s the re-
sponsibility of the Congress but
… the zealotry is inconsistent
with Ways and Means history.”

ing a conflict over the school’s
shifting offers to a candidate
who appeared set to lead its
journalism school but ultimate-
ly declined the position after
facing pushback over her work
promoting diversity.
The president, M. Katherine
Banks, submitted a letter of re-
tirement late Thursday in
which she said that the nega-
tive attention over the journal-
ism director, Kathleen McElroy,
was a distrac tion for Texas
A&M, one of the largest univer-
sities in the country.
Banks’s resignation came
days after the resignation of the
dean overseeing the universi-
ty’s College of Arts and Sciences
and also followed a tense meet-
ing between Banks and the uni-
versity’s faculty senate Wednes-
day.
During that meeting, Banks
said she was sorry that McElroy
would not be joining the uni-
versity and added she was em-
barrassed by how the situation
had been handled. But she also
suggested that she knew little
about the details of what had
led to the shifting offers made
to McElroy, a former New York
Times editor and professor of
journalism at the University of
Texas.
McElroy had said that Texas
A&M had promised her a five-
year contract but that she was
ultimately given a one-year deal
after complaints from an alum-
ni group and a conservative
publication over her work pro-
moting diversity, including an
opinion column she wrote in
which McElroy, who is Black,
said it was important to hire
more nonwhite faculty mem-
bers.
McElroy ultimately turned
down the one-year contract,
she said, and the episode be-
came a full-blown crisis for
Texas A&M after The Texas
Tribune first reported on the
conflict. McElroy described a
series of conversations in
which the Arts and Sciences
dean told her that there was
political pushback to her ap-
pointment.
“I said, ‘ What’s wrong?’ ”
McElroy recalled of her conver-
sation with the dean, José Luis
Bermúdez. “He said, ‘You’re a
Black woman who was at The
New York Times, and to these
folks, that’s like working for
Pravda.’” McElroy, who left the
Times in 2011, did not immedi-
ately return a call seeking com-
ment Friday.

scribed a breakdown of com-
munication in the process of
trying to hire McElroy but said
the university had stood by the
offers it had made to her.
“Based on what I under-
stood, at all points in this pro-
cess, she was coming here,”
Banks said, adding that the of-
fer was still open.
But Banks faced tough ques-
tions from faculty members,
who criticized what they said
was political meddling in the
university’s hiring process and
an embarrassing sequence of
events.
“Apparently, no one knows
who made the offer, no one
knows how many offers were
made, nobody knows who
signed which offer, and nobody
knows who read or wrote those
offers,” said Raymundo Ar-
róyave, an engineering profes-
sor. “Frankly, we look incompe-
tent.”
The faculty senate passed a
resolution to create a fact-find-
ing committee to look into how
McElroy’s hiring was handled.

City Council’s exercise in budgeting

ends in a whimper

I
t was supposed to level the budgeting playing
field in Boston. In 2021, voters decided to give
the City Council a teensy bit more say in the
city budget, while also creating a new office de-
signed to engage voters in the often-tedious
budgetary process.
The result, so far: rancor, long and pointless de-
bates, and ultimately little to show for the effort.
And in what seemed like a coda to a disastrous pro-
cess, Mayor Michelle Wu informed the council this
week that the single budget change on which they
managed to muster the votes to override her mayoral
veto — well, it turned out to be illegal and, therefore,
would not be enforced.
If the new process is going to work, and produce
anything like the more responsive and transparent
budgetary process voters were promised, councilors
need to use their power more pragmatically and wisely.
The final twist to this year’s process involved
$584,896 from the $4.2 billion budget that the council
tried to shift from contractual services in the city’s
property management division to instead fund a raise
for municipal police officers assigned to protect city
buildings, including City Hall. Problem is, the city is in
the midst of negotiating that labor contract with the
officers’ union, and the vote was clearly intended to cir-
cumvent that process.
“There is no other interpretation of this override
vote than as a directive from the City Council to the
Administration to adopt the [municipal police union’s]
specific salary increase demands in bargaining, which
is a clear cut violation of the City Charter and state
law,” Wu wrote in a one-page letter to the council. “The
council cannot use the budget-making process to dic-
tate collective bargaining.”
This was the second year the council was able to ex-
ercise a broader role under the 2021 referendum that
allows councilors to change some — but not all — line
items as long as they do not increase the budget’s bot-
tom line. So every dollar the councilors propose to
spend on their favored programs (i.e., raises for munic-
ipal police) must be cut from elsewhere in the mayor’s
proposed budget.
As the Council discovered the hard way, though,
there really aren’t a lot of nonessential city services to
cut to make room for their priorities, such as expand-
ing the city’s tree canopy, improving Black Heritage
Trail signage, opening more English-as-second-lan-
guage classes, or providing $10 million to fund the new
citizen-involved part of participatory budgeting pro-

and produce anything like the more

their power more pragmatically
and wisely.
cess (Wu’s budget sets aside $2 million for that pur-
pose). The council had proposed to fund those items by
cutting the budget for police, public works, libraries,
and veterans.
Wu ended up vetoing most of the council-approved
big ticket items, rightly calling cuts to the police de-
partment “illusory.” In her veto letter, she noted that
personnel cuts to public works and transportation
“would mean holding positions vacant and delaying
hiring for critically needed positions in both depart-
ments to fill potholes, upgrade crosswalks, plow snow,
and ensure our street infrastructure is safe.”
Those original amendments passed by a 7-5 vote —
a vote that broke largely along racial lines, with coun-
cilors of color favoring the shifts. When the time came
for the council to try to muster the two-thirds vote to
override Wu’s vetoes, things went from bad to worse.
For more than seven and a half hours, councilors ar-
gued not so much with the Wu administration but with
each other. Councilor Frank Baker, who won’t be run-
ning for reelection, made a reference to some council-
ors acting like pigs during the budget process. That in
turn ticked off Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson,
chair of the council’s budget-writing Ways and Means
Committee, who insisted that in Boston, “a Black wom-
an can’t complain.”
In the end, only the pay raise proposal passed. And
now that’s gone, too.
“You had six new councilors just learning the ropes,
and that added to the challenge,” said Pam Kocher,
president of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau.
“There was a lot of uncertainty and confusion, pres-
sure from advocates in the community who thought
they could get more [from the council] and a major
learning curve about the process.”
Step one to doing a better job next year would be to
develop a better understanding of the limitations of
the new process. Promises to voters notwithstanding,
the new budgeting law actually allows the council to
amend only about 42 percent of the city’s budget — or
about $1.8 billion this year. Exempt from the council’s
ability to reallocate funds are the school budget and
such fixed costs as pensions, debt service, and state as-
sessments. For the rest of the budget, as Kocher said,
“The mayor still runs the process.” And, as in the case
of the municipal police union, there are legal re-
straints, too.
Next year the citizen-involvement piece of the char-
ter change should be fully operational. Wu appointed a
director of the Office of Participatory Budgeting last
month.
“So let’s do some more education — for all of us,”
Kocher said. “Let’s think about what kind of support
and guidance and training would be helpful so council-
ors can have a more grounded understanding of the
budget.”
Assuming next year’s council can start by keeping
their discussions civil — and what a sea change that
would be — the new process can still give them more
say. Or, they can squander their chance to influence the
budget with poorly thought through gestures, the way
they did this year. That’ll be up to them.

A hurdle in the path of advanced math

in Cambridge schools
Educators should strive
to lift every student
In the article “In Cambridge schools, math
brings division” (Page A1, July 15), Christo-
pher Huffaker quotes the Cambridge Public
Schools superintendent giving a rationale for
why the system no longer offers algebra 1 in
middle school: “We have a huge focus on ad-
dressing both the academic achievement
gaps and the opportunity gaps in our com-
munity,” Victoria Greer says. “One thing the
district is not interested in doing is perpetu-
ating those gaps.”
I find it stunning that Cambridge school
leaders would pursue a strategy of holding
back students who are ready and prepared
for algebra 1 courses in order to prevent the
achievement gap between students from be-
coming broader. I believe the strategy should
be to provide each and every student the
most advanced opportunity they can handle,
thereby elevating the performance of all stu-
dents. If it takes even more effort to bring up
the levels of underperforming students, so be
it, but strive to make every student as well-
educated as possible. To do otherwise is a
dereliction of duty.

To close achievement gaps,

focus on elementary years
People are right to be astonished over the ar-
ticle “In Cambridge schools, math brings di-
vision” (See Twitter, Reddit, or the hundreds
of comments that have been posted on the
story on BostonGlobe.com).
Cambridge Public Schools won’t teach al-
gebra 1 before ninth grade, thus pushing af-
fluent families to supplement math in other
ways and effectively shutting those with less
wherewithal out of advanced math (and
blocking paths to STEM careers).
But commenters’ plentiful comparisons
to Harrison Bergeron, the main character in
Kurt Vonnegut’s short story of the same
name, are inapt. In that dystopia, those with
talent must keep it tamped down. In our re-
ality, while Black and Hispanic students in
the Cambridge schools have significantly
lower math scores than white and Asian
peers, this does not mean they have less abil-
ity. It means the city’s public school system
has failed them.
To close the gap, Cambridge Public
Schools must focus on elementary education
and, in particular, require third-grade math
(and reading) proficiency so that schools are
held to a high standard that ensures children
learn. Other states have seen remarkable re-
sults with this approach.
Every child has the potential to excel.
Some face far higher hurdles than others.
Public schools should be where every child
gets the education they need to unlock their
potential for success in the real world.

the world, be it of one ethnicity or many, be it
of common socioeconomic level or diverse,
there will always be some students who are
smarter than others in that classroom. There
is no reason to penalize those students for
their ability by denying them access to more
advanced courses than those that their peers
are studying. Yet that is exactly what we do
when we set our benchmarks low, and that is
what is happening in Cambridge, where the
more advanced algebra 1 class is not being
offered in middle school.
The article points out that the Dallas
school system is doing just the opposite — re-
quiring students to opt out of honors classes
rather than opt in — with resounding suc-
cess. That is the kind of path we must follow
if the United States hopes to maintain its
leading position in the arts and sciences.

School system’s strategy
may look like equality,
but it undercuts equity
So much is wrong with the Cambridge
School Committee’s decision to drop algebra
1 from middle school math. Just because
some kids aren’t ready for it doesn’t mean
that no kid should have access to it.
The decision assumes that doing away
with opportunities for advanced learning
will somehow close the achievement gap that
plagues our society. In fact, by penalizing
able kids, many of whose families might not
be able to afford whatever it takes to over-
come a slow start, the decision only exacer-
bates that gap.

Don’t extinguish
students’ spark
Last Saturday’s Globe article on the decision
of the Cambridge school district to stop offer-
ing advanced math in middle school had me
seeing red. The reporter also notes that the
California Board of Education has created
controversy by considering a similar math
framework for the state. As a sixth-grader in
California in 2006-07, I was lucky enough to
have a wonderful mother who fought for a
policy that allowed me to move into seventh-
grade math and opened the door to students
after me. By the end of high school, I took
multivariable calculus at San Jose State Uni-
versity, which allowed me to reduce my pre-
requisite class workload during my engineer-
DAVID L. RYAN/GLOBE STAFF
ing degree at University of California, Berke-
ley.
I can’t imagine what would have hap-
pened if I had gotten to high school and been
forced right back into algebra (which I took
in seventh grade). If you hammer down a
student’s spark to learn long enough, don’t
be surprised when that spark extinguishes.
NOREEN WAUFORD

How are we to compete
on the world stage?
We need the best and brightest to be able to
excel if our country is to advance in the math
and sciences and we are to compete on the
world stage. How is it social justice to penal-
ize the capable? Social justice is giving every-
one what they need.
What the students who can’t perform well
in advanced classes need is a school system
laser focused on academics, not the dumbing
down of education. Enough of this teaching
of “you can’t help it if you are a victim of rac-
ism,” which, to my mind, is what the Cam-
bridge schools are doing here. Education is
defined as a process of giving systematic in-
struction.
It is not acceptable that many schools
have low and inequitable proficiency rates in
math and reading. Curriculums need to be
required to get back to building a foundation
of step-by-step knowledge in these areas. On-
ly then can students gain a vast field of
knowledge from science to history, the basis
of an educated citizenry — something our
country is desperately in need of.

“Those were very scary times,
especially in parking lots,” said
Melanson, director of HR, diver-
sity, equity and inclusion at the
Asperger/Autism Network, a
Watertown nonprofit. “There
were times I wouldn’t take them
both out in public at the same
time.”
Children on the autism spec-
trum are prone to “eloping,” or
wandering from caregivers and
safe environments. A 2012 study
found that 49 percent of families
with a child on the spectrum had
reported that their kids eloped
and, of those that did, more than
half “went missing long enough
to cause concern.”
Many kids with autism have
difficulty understanding and
communicating their thoughts
and desires, so they may not
have functional language to say,
“‘I want to do this,’ or ‘I’m going
here,’” said Shari Krauss, autism
program director at Boston
Medical Center. Kids also often
lack age-appropriate safety
awareness and don’t understand
the risks involved in things like
touching a hot stove or leaving
home without telling a caregiver.
“We also find that a lot of our
kids are very sensory motivated
and that sources of water can be
a huge draw,” Krauss said. “So
you pair that interest with a lack
of safety awareness, and you can
arrive at something as devastat-
ing.”

newbie-heavy cast champing at

comics who ride the news, who
make us laugh instead of cry
when it comes to political absur-
dities and planetary anxieties.
But in the entertainment freefall
of ‘24, those kinds of jokes can
only be found at local comedy
clubs. “The Daily Show,” “Last

they’re all idling in neutral.

“Name That Tune While on a

here and there of the likes of “Ab-
bott Elementary” and the “Chi-
cago” franchise, titles that have
shut down production; but those
episodes are getting tiresome as
President’s Day comes around.
In the fall, some of the networks
still had new episodes to show —
of “Magnum P.I.” and “Quantum

new year, as strike negotiations
remain tense, not so much.

said, frequently wandered to a
neighbor’s house when they first
moved to Fitchburg last year.
The neighbors called the police
multiple times.
While she understands her
neighbors’ discomfort, Laine
said she explained her son’s di-
agnosis to the family and was
shocked to learn that, when they
called the police again, they gave
a description of a much bigger
person and said he was vandaliz-
ing, which she said was not true.
“They said he was 6-foot-

new year unfolds. Announced in
July, CBS brought Kevin Cost-
ner’s “Yellowstone,” a cable and
streaming series, to Sunday
nights, beginning with the first
episode of the first season. And
ABC imported the MCU minise-
ries “Ms. Marvel” from corporate
cousin Disney+. It was a smart
move, luring network viewers
into streaming storytelling while
giving them something new. It’s
not hard to imagine, say, NBC
bringing Natasha Lyonne’s “Pok-
er Face” — a perfect network
crime-of-the-week series, with
some edits, of course — over
from Peacock. Then, when the
strikes are over, those who liked
“Poker Face” just might ante up
for Peacock to catch the next
new season.
Ultimately, though, stream-
ing and cable still have the most
programming juice to get by in
the new year, since they’ve gen-
erally worked in advance, with
more finished series in storage
awaiting release and — except
for Apple TV+ — massive librar-

Production on “Stranger

offers many more options.
One advantage for streamers
and their cable counterparts is
their access to the world. In ad-
dition to the last finished shows
they have waiting for release in
2024, they are scarfing up new
material filmed in other coun-
tries — something Netflix in par-
ticular has long been adept at.
Most of these are foreign-lan-
guage shows, but HBO’s “House

season two in 2023 in the United
Kingdom, will appear in ‘24.

solidarity on picket lines

ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The com-
bined strike by Hollywood ac-
tors and screenwriters entered
its second week with no swift
end in sight, and union leaders
and star strikers, including a
bevy of comedians, attempted
to boost morale Friday as the
novelty of picket lines wears
off.
“ The momentum is still
building,” said stand-up comic
and actor Marc Maron outside
Netflix headquarters. “I got
some of my comedy buddies —
we’re like, let’s go, let’s make
sure we’re there and we show
up for our union. There’s a lot
of people here and look, even-
tually they have to, they have
to negotiate, right?”
Maron starred on the series
“GLOW” for Netflix, whose
headquarters in an increasing-
ly hip section of Hollywood
have been a bustling hub dur-
ing the strike, with music
blasting and food trucks serv-
ing ice cream, shaved ice, and
churros.
His fellow comedians and
comic actors abounded on the
picket line, including “Satur-
day Night Live” and “Portland-

“Hacks” star Hannah Einbind-
er, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” actor
Chelsea Peretti, “What We Do
in the Shadows” vampire Mark
Proksch, and longtime comedy
team Eric Wareheim and Tim
Heidecker, who said they were
not optimistic about a quick
end to the strike.
"I think it’s going to be a
long struggle, a long fight,"
Heidecker said. “We’re going
to have to be out here until we
get what we need to get.”
But they were confident

“There’s an Arby’s here and
Eric hasn’t eaten Arby’s in a
year,” Heidecker said.
“It’s been 364 days since I
had a big roast beef and we’re
doing it today,” Wareheim said.
It has been harder for pick-
eters to keep the energy up at
more sprawling corporate
campuses such as Warner
Bros. Studios and Walt Disney
Studios in Burbank, where a
Southern California heat wave
hit hard all week.
But as the strike has begun
to stretch on, the regular ap-
pearance of star writers and
actors has given a jolt to picket
lines in both LA and New York,
and provided high-profile voic-
es on issues that are key to
both writers and actors — bet-
ter pay and preserving estab-
lished practices like residual
payments, as well as protec-
tion from the use of artificial
intelligence. Roughly 65,000
actors — the vast majority of
whom make less than $27,000
a year from their screen work
— along with 11,500 screen-
writers, are on strike.
On Friday, actors in London
rallied in solidarity with their
Screen Actors Guild-American
Federation of Television and
Radio Artists brethren. Stars
including Brian Cox, Andy Ser-
kis, Hayley Atwell, Simon
Pegg, and Imelda Staunton
gathered with other perform-
ers and production crew in Le-
icester Square for the demon-
stration organized by British
actors’ union Equity.
They chanted “One strug-
gle, one fight, we support SAG-

In the United States, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, and Chicago
were among the the major cit-
ies with strike events Wednes-
day and Thursday.

VINCENT ALBAN FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE
WASHINGTON — The Senate in-
cluded $350 million toward the re-
placement of the two aging Cape Cod
bridges in a wide-ranging appropria-
tions bill unveiled on Thursday, a po-
tential step toward the billions of dol-
lars needed to build the new roadways
over the Cape Cod Canal.
Even those millions are far from
ready for the bank, as a divided Wash-
ington is staring down a major fight
over government funding this fall.
But the money’s inclusion in the
Senate legislation signaled more of an
appetite in Washington to help shoul-
der the estimated $4 billion replace-
ment of the Sagamore and Bourne
bridges, the 88-year-old federally
owned arching structures that are the
only roads on and off the peninsula.
The line item in the Senate’s draft
“energy and water development” ap-
propriations bill for the bridges follows
a request by President Biden in his
budget proposal for $350 million for
the project, and is the product of a con-
certed effort by Massachusetts’ Demo-
cratic senators, Elizabeth Warren and
Edward Markey, to get federal money
for the needed investment.
“Securing $350 million in the Sen-
ate Appropriations bill is a critical win
in the decades-long effort to replace
the aging Cape Cod Canal bridges,”
Warren and Markey said in a state-
ment. “We will continue pushing to en-
sure this funding is signed into law and
appreciate our ongoing partnership
with Governor Healey, the Biden Ad-
ministration and Senate Appropria-
tions Committee Chair Murray as we
continue to prioritize this federal in-
vestment in our infrastructure.”
Having those funds actually arrive
in Massachusetts remains a significant
uphill climb. The Senate still needs to

Patrick Mendoza, a North End
restaurant owner who had been
wanted by police since he alleged-
ly shot at another man on Ha-
nover Street on July 12, was ar-
rested Friday in Falmouth and or-
dered held without bail.
Mendoza, 54, pleaded not
guilty in Boston Municipal Court
to several charges, including as-
sault to murder, for allegedly
opening fire on Rocco Giovanello,
a 60-year-old with whom he and
his brother have feuded for years.
Mendoza, the owner of Moni-
ca’s Trattoria, will remain in cus-
tody until a detention hearing Ju-
ly 26, records show. His lawyer
couldn’t immediately be reached
for comment.
In court, prosecutors argued
that Mendoza should be held
without bail for the safety of the
community, noting that the shoot-
ing occurred on the neighbor-
hood’s busiest street. No one was
injured in the shooting, and Men-
doza fled the area.
More than a week passed be-
fore Mendoza was arrested Friday
morning by members of the Bos-
ton Police Fugitive Unit, with help
from the Falmouth Police Depart-
ment, according to a police report.
He was taken into police custo-
dy “while in the area of 200 Ter

Providence has already seen more

to the National Weather Service, more
than four times the normal amount.
As a concrete jungle by a bay, the city
faces dual vulnerabilities when it comes
to flooding: heavy rains that the sewer

West Nile virus detected in South Boston Pa r k e r a s k e d S u p e r i o r

GLOBE STAFF
The West Nile virus was de-
tected in a mosquito pool in
South Boston, the first time this
summer the mosquito-borne ill-
ness has been found in the city,
according to the Boston Public
Health Commission.
The commission said there
are no confirmed cases of West
Nile virus in Boston and the
“risk of transmission remains
low.” Mosquitoes transfer the
virus to humans through bites.
Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, executive
director of the commission, said
precautions should be taken to
avoid being bitten.
“During this time of the year
and into the fall, we encourage
residents to protect themselves
by using insect repellent and
wearing long-sleeve clothing
when outside at dusk and dawn
for prolonged periods of time,”
she said in a statement.
The discovery of the virus in
Boston comes after the state
Department of Public Health

The public health agencies
recommend the following strate-
gies to reduce the risk of expo-
sure to mosquitoes.
R Avoid spending extended
periods of time outdoors from
dusk to dawn, when mosquitoes
are most active.
R Wear long clothing and
high socks to keep mosquitoes
away from your skin.
R Use EPA-approved insect
repellents like DEET, oil of lem-
on, eucalyptus, picaridin, or
IR3535.
R Make sure window and
door screens fit properly and
don’t have any holes.
R Regularly empty and clean
bird baths, unused flowerpots,
and other vessels containing
standing water to prevent mos-
quitoes from breeding. Flip over
unused kiddie pools and dispose
of old tires, which can attract
mosquitoes for breeding.
R Regularly clean out gutters.
Most people who are infected
with West Nile virus do not expe-
rience any signs or symptoms of
illness, according to the Public
Health Commission.
“In some cases, people will
experience a headache, fever,
nausea, vomiting, and body
aches which can last for a few
days or several weeks. In most
cases, individuals with mild
symptoms recover on their own,”
the commission’s website says.

Maine man arrested in alleged Jan. 6 assaults

By Travis Andersen

A Maine man was arrested
Friday and charged with assault-
ing police officers during the
Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the
US Capitol, federal prosecutors
said.
Matthew Brackley, 39, of
Waldoboro, Maine, was arrested
there Friday and was slated to
appear in federal court in Port-
land later in the day, according
to court documents and US At-
torney Matthew M. Graves in
Federal prosecutors said that
Brackley allegedly entered the
US Capitol via the Senate wing
doors at about 2:23 p.m., some
10 minutes after they were first
breached. Brackley made his
way to the Crypt area of the
building, where a group of riot-
ers had assembled and were
pushing against police lines,
prosecutors said.
The rioters pushed past po-
lice and advanced further into
the building, prosecutors said.
Police told Brackley and the
shouted “Let’s go,” and leaned
forward, allegedly using both
arms to push through the offi-
cers, prosecutors said.
Brackley allegedly led the
crowd toward the Senate cham-
ber and was again halted by po-
lice, who used chemical spray
that caused Brackley and other
rioters to retreat, prosecutors
said. Brackley left the Capitol
building at about 3:05 p.m.

Providence set to start repair project on hurricane barrier

uHURRICANE BARRIER
Continued from Page B1
The hurricane barrier won’t
prevent the kind of street flood-
ing that Rhode Island has seen
this summer. But it addresses a
different kind of flooding: coast-
al storm surge that threatens
downtown Providence.
David Radcliffe, the city’s
deputy emergency management
director, would love to rename
the 3,000-foot-long barricade
the “storm surge barrier,” since it
addresses much more than hur-
ricanes.
“It’s really an all-hazards
coastal flooding defense,” Radc-
liffe said in an interview with the
Globe on Thursday outside the
barrier in Fox Point.
Built from 1961 to 1966 for
$15 million after Hurricane Car-

now mostly run by the US Army
Corps of Engineers, which han-

84-year-old finishes the Amtrak journey of a lifetime

up high in a rail car and looking
at the deserts of the West, the
farmlands of the Midwest, the
small communities of the
Northeast, and being on a mag-
ic carpet to watch America un-
fold. I’ve never grown tired of
that.”
One of his earliest railroad
memories is a steam engine
ride from Kentucky to Texas
during World War II. Read was
traveling home with his mother
and brother after they said
goodbye to his father, who was
fighting in the war. His mother
had to stand throughout the
day-and-a-half trip, he remem-
bered.
“She developed a hatred of
train travel from that time,”
Read said, “but I was caught up
with the adventure of it.”
A year later, he voyaged with
the Boy Scouts of America to a
jamboree in Irvine Ranch, Ca-
lif., which later became an
Amtrak stop itself. The trip was
a circuitous ride full of sightsee-
ing stops including the Grand
Canyon and Great Salt Lake.
Read remembered sleeping
four boys to a two-person bunk,
“nose to toes and toes to nose.”
With his love for adventure,
Read has visited all seven conti-
nents, seen 100 countries, and
stood on both the North and
South poles.
In the late 1950s, Read was
one of 72 American students on
an exchange trip to the Soviet
Union — “the trip of a lifetime,”
he said. He had always been fas-
cinated with the region, he said,
which was relatively unknown
to average citizens at the time,
and was desperate for the
chance to learn more about it.

Money for the bridges could

Regan Jr., chief executive of
Regan Communications, said in
a statement that the treatment
center “was legally prohibited
to disclose that Patrick Mendo-
za was a patient in its care in ac-
cordance with federal regula-
tions.”
“Gosnold is grateful that this
situation was resolved without
incident,” Regan said in the
statement.
It was not immediately clear
when Mendoza had arrived at
the treatment facility.
Late on July 12, Mendoza al-
legedly fired at Giovanello with
a snub-nosed revolver, missing
him and striking the window of
Modern Pastry, a popular bak-
ery that Giovanello lives above.
On Thursday, the city’s li-
censing board gave a lawyer for
the Mendoza family until the
end of Friday to submit evi-
dence that a proposed ne w
manager was qualified to be re-
sponsible for the restaurant.
The panel convened a hearing
to consider whether the restau-
rant should keep its liquor and
food license in light of the
shooting.
The deadline came after Wil-

for the Mendoza family, re-

limp along,” he said. “I made a
list of 50 words every morning
and I knew about 10,000 by the
time they came.”
Years later, Read visited the
South Pole with the US Navy as
a public affairs officer. This
made him eager to visit the
North Pole, so he pulled a few
strings and did that, too.
“I tried to get a ride on a nu-
clear submarine, but that didn’t
work,” he laughed. “But I was
able to book passage on a Rus-
sian nuclear icebreaker.”

Governor Maura Healey in
May promised to double the
state’s financial commitment to
the project up to $700 million.
Federal transportation officials
have said that pre vious at-
tempts to score federal aid for
the project failed partly because
the state and US Army Corps of
Engineers, which currently
owns and maintains the bridg-
es, didn’t have a fully fleshed-
out financing plan.
In a statement, Healey said
the inclusion of the $350 mil-
lion in the Senate bill was “very
exciting and welcome news,”
and called the project one of her
administration’s top priorities.
“We will continue working
closely with our local, state and
federal partners to see this proj-
ect through,” she said.
quested that the manager of re-
cord status be transferred from
Patrick Mendoza to Amanda
McQueen. A manager of record
is an individual, approved by
the licensing board, who is for-
mally responsible for an estab-
lishment.
Mayor Michelle Wu’s office
confirmed on Friday that the
Mendozas had submitted the
application and it is now under
review by the licensing board,
which now has 30 days to
schedule a hearing.
The Hanover Street shooting
happened the same week that
Mendoza’s probation sentence
for a 2019 altercation involving
Giovanello was set to end, au-
thorities said.
But on the day of the shoot-
ing, authorities filed notice of
an alleged probation violation,
court records show. Hours later,
Mendoza allegedly confronted
Giovanello as he waited for his
daughter to get off work at Mod-
ern Pastry.
Around 10:30 p.m., he spot-

down Hanover Street and said
Mendoza began swearing at
him, calling him “[exple-

report.

The bridges themselves are
an unusual entity. They are cur-
rently owned by the federal gov-
ernment but will eventually be
turned over to the state once re-
placed. When they first opened
to traffic in 1935, they were in-
tended to stand for just 50
years, and the Army Corps rec-
ommended in 2020 that both be
replaced.
T he y ’re now considered
functionally obsolete, and offi-
cials have said pursuing long,
costly fixes in lieu of replace-
ment could be catastrophic to
crossings that carry tens of mil-
lions a car each year.
Without replacing or fixing
each bridge, officials have said
they would be forced to perma-
nently close a lane in each di-
rection by 2032 on the Bourne
Bridge and 2036 on the Saga-
more Bridge. Should they sim-
ply fix things as they fail, offi-

dropped it on the street, and
pulled a gun from his waist-
band, according to the report.
Giovanello ran down the side-
walk and tried to take cover be-
hind a Jeep as Mendoza fired
twice in his direction, according
to the police report.

have to begin limiting the size
of trucks allowed on either
bridge in 2026 and 2030, re-
spectively. Warren also sent let-
ters to a collection of local lead-
ers asking them to detail the
impact of the aging bridges on
their communities this week as
part of an effort to continue to
make the case for their replace-
ment.
The work is considered one
of the most expensive bridge
projects in the country, and
questions of how to cover the
cost have long dogged the
plans. Replacing the bridges
would also take years. Repre-
sentative Bill Keating, a Bourne
Democrat, previously told the
Globe that one timeline he was
given pegged completion of the
project in the early 2030s.
But identifying how to actu-
ally pay for it has eluded offi-
cials. In September and Janu-
ary, the federal government re-

jam on Salem Street in the
North End, according to legal
filings. The cause of the backup,

and he continues to opt for
trains over planes and automo-
biles.
Read’s love of railroads and
thirst for adventure permeated
into every aspect of his life. In

the state and the Army Corps
seeking a combined $3 billion.
A US Department of Trans-
portation official told state and
Army Corps leaders in March
that while the project scored
well in various ways, the federal
agency had identified a $630
million shortfall in the project,
according to notes that the
state’s highway administrator
made of the meeting and the
Globe obtained through a pub-
lic records request.
State lawmakers in 2021
passed a borrowing bill that
specifically committed $350
million to the project. But dur-
ing last year’s application pro-
cess, MassDOT officials — then
under Republican Charlie Bak-
er’s administration — gave no
indication they had more to of-
fer after federal transportation
officials pressed the state on
whether they had additional

But as the day went on, Gio-
vanello “heard rumor ” that
Frankie Mendoza was looking
for him. He had known the
brothers for about 15 years, and
told police he figured Frankie
Mendoza wanted to apologize.
That was wishful thinking,
according to a police report.
With his love for

addition to being a lifelong
train rider, he served as vice
president of public relations for
the US High Speed Rail Corpo-
ration. He was part of an effort
to build a high-speed rail line
from Los Angeles to San Diego
in 1983 — an “exciting idea”
that, he said, failed to get the
population’s consensus and ul-
timately failed.
He is also a veteran of the
Vietnam War, a retired US Navy
captain, a published author, a
stand-up comedian, and a po-
lice officer.
Read continues to harbor his
passion for adventure. While
Friday afternoon marked the
end of his Amtrak journey, it
was not the end of his love for
railroads or appetite for a chal-
lenge, he said.
“I’ve set different goals and

he said. “I’m sure I’ll think of

Patrick Mendoza was found

Births among those 30 and older fall for first time in decade
By Alison Kuznitz
STATE HOUSE NEWS
The number of people 30 and
older who gave birth decreased
for the first time in 10 years dur-
ing 2020, according to new data
published by the Department of
Public Health.
The drop of 1.8 percent in
that age group comes as overall
births in Massachusetts in 2020
— 66,442 — declined by 3.9 per-
cent. The peak of births in the
state came in 1990 with 92,461,
according to DPH’s 2020 birth
data annual report.
Fewer births nationally could
eventually hamper states’ econo-
mies through lowered tax reve-
nue streams and federal fund-
ing, as well as a smaller labor
force, according to an analysis
from The Pew Charitable Trusts.
DPH, which did not make an
official available for an interview
on its report Thursday, told the
News Service it is difficult to ex-
plain the drop in births among
people ages 30 and older with
only one year of data — particu-
larly whether it’s an anomaly or
could signal an emerging trend.
Meanwhile, the number of
births among people under age
30 decreased “more sharply” by
7.6 percent, according to the re-
port.
The national median age of
women giving birth is also ris-
ing, going from 27 in 1990 to 30
in 2019, according to the US
Census Bureau.
Delayed childbirth reflects
more young women wanting to
pursue higher education as well
as the cost of child care and over-
all cost of living in Massachu-
setts, DPH said. It also noted
that expanded insurance cover-
age exists for assisted reproduc-
tive technology to tackle infertil-
ity related to someone’s age.
DPH cautioned that birth
rate trends by age could change
in the aftermath of the COVID-
19 pandemic amid the rise in re-
mote work and flexible work op-
tions.
Dr. Danielle Roncari, vice
president of medical services at
Planned Parenthood League of
Massachusetts,cited expanded
access to family planning servic-
es — including to contraception
following a 2017 law — when
asked about factors underlying
the state’s decreasing birth rate.
“Planned Parenthood League
of Massachusetts continues to
see strong interest in long-acting
reversible contraception, like
IUDs, across all age groups,”
Roncari said in a statement.
“When people have access to
quality, affordable sexual and re-
productive health care, they re-
tain control over their health,
bodies, and futures, including
decisions about if and when to
have children.”
All races and ethnicities saw
decreased birth rates, including
American Indian/Alaska Native
by 15 percent, Asian/Pacific Is-
lander by 6.1 percent, Black by
3.9 percent, Hispanic by 0.8 per-
cent, and white by 4.6 percent,
the report indicates.
The data show that the teen
birth rate in 2020 continued to
drop following a plateau in
2019. The teen birth rate was 5.9
births per 1,000 female ages 15
to 19, compared to 20.1 in 2008.
Racial disparities persist in
the teen birth rate. The Hispanic
teen birth rate in 2020 was 21
per 1,000 females ages 15 to 19
— compared to 1.7 for Asian/Pa-
cific Islander teens, 10.3 for
Black teens, and 2.2 for white
teens, according to the report.
State sexual education pro-
grams for teens incorporate ra-
cial equity, DPH said. Program
providers are required to focus
their work on racial and ethnic
groups who are most affected by
teen pregnancy, DPH said.
In another key finding, the
report shows the share of people
who received adequate prenatal
care decreased from about 83
percent to 77 percent in 2020,
though the timing coincided
with the COVID-19 pandemic
when access to care was more
difficult.
“Most birthing people experi-
enced the pandemic for at least
some portion of their pregnancy.
This report describes trends in
prenatal care and birth out-
comes in Massachusetts in 2020
and does not aim to analyze or
explain the impact of the pan-
demic on these trends,” the re-
port states. “Future studies will
be needed to understand the
pandemic’s impact on short- and
long-term parental and child
health.”

the CDC.
Children from 6 months to 5
years old should get at least one
bivalent shot, and maybe more
depending on the number of
original shots they’ve received
previously, the vaccine types,
and their age, the CDC said.
Dr. Philip Landrigan, direc-
tor of Boston College’s Program
for Global Public Health and the
Common Good, said people
should follow the CDC guide-
lines. And he suggested that peo-
ple 65 and older and people who
are immunocompromised sign
up for their additional bivalent
shots.
“It’s important to remind
people that even though you can
get a respiratory infection, the
big thing about the COVID-19
vaccines is they keep you out of
the hospital and they keep you
alive,” he said. You may get sick,
he said, but “you’re going to be
alive to work and play next
week.”
While it’s steamy outside
now, “as soon as the weather
gets chilly and people start mov-
ing indoors . . . we’re going to
have an uptick in infections so
it’s good to get vaccinated before
that time comes,” he said.
(While on the topic of avoid-
ing COVID-19, he noted that
“everybody’s tired of masks,” but
they continue to be useful. If you
have a cough or a cold or are go-
ing to be around someone with a
cough or a cold, or are in a
crowded public place, “slip on a
mask,” he said.)
Other experts said their cur-
rent advice on booster shots
would vary from the CDC’s.
They pointed, among other
things, to the current low levels
of the pandemic, widespread im-
munity in the population, and
the arrival of what’s expected to
be a better vaccine, possibly as
soon as September.
Federal regulators last month
advised vaccine manufacturers
to reformulate their COVID-19
shots to target an Omicron sub-
variant to provide the best pro-
tection as the weather turns
colder and more people gather
indoors. Pfizer, Moderna, and
Novavax have said that updated
vaccines could be developed and
manufactured in time for a roll-
out in the fall.
Dr. David Hamer, a professor
of global health and medicine at
Boston University, said that he
didn’t think that people who got
the first bivalent shot needed to
get the second. “I favor having
my patients wait until either the

new booster is available and/or
there is a new wave of SARS-
CoV-2,” he said by email.
“My current advice is wait,”
he said. “It makes sense to get
this vaccine closer to the time
there’s actually an outbreak.”
Hamer also said that many
people who have gotten their
original shots and boosters don’t
even need the first bivalent shot,
“although the exception would
be those who are at high risk
based on advanced age, serious
underlying immunocompromis-
ing conditions, etc.”
Dr. Paul Sax, clinical director
of the Division of Infectious Dis-
eases at Brigham and Women’s
Hospital, said people who’ve got-
ten the first bivalent booster
don’t need a second one “unless
they’re over 80, medically frag-
ile, or immunocompromised.”
Like Hamer, he said he would
recommend a first bivalent shot
for those at high risk of severe
disease, such as older people or
those with comorbidities. But
for younger, healthy adults, he
said, the first bivalent shot may
not be needed.
He cited a hypothetical case
of a completely healthy 25-year-
old man who has had three shots
and had COVID-19 twice al-
ready. “Does it really make sense
to have him get an extra vaccina-
tion now? It really doesn’t,” he
said.
In the fall, “the monovalent
vaccine that will likely be recom-
m e n d e d s h o u l d b e a b e tt e r
match to the circulating vari-
ants,” he said. “Also, while
COVID is still very much circu-
lating — just saw another person
with it today — disease levels are
lower than they’ll likely be in the
fall and winter, which has been
the case the last three winters.”
The decision to get a bivalent
shot should consider a person’s
age, their immune status, and
their previous exposure to
COVID-19, either through shots
or infections, he said.
“People who are highly vul-
nerable should choose to be
maximally vaccinated,” he said.
But for “intermediate-risk peo-
ple, it depends on degree of im-
munity.”
If people have questions, they
should contact their doctors, he
said, because it’s not easy to “fig-
ure this out from the guidelines.”
The bivalent shots were for-
mulated to protect against both
the original virus strain and the
Omicron strain. The new shots
this fall will be monovalent
again, targeting a single Omi-
cron subvariant.
The US Food and Drug Ad-
ministration told vaccine manu-
facturers last month to develop
shots tailored to fight the
XBB.1.5 subvariant, after ex-
perts determined that the sub-
variant appeared to be the best
target for future vaccines. The
CDC is expected to update its
vaccine recommendations in
mid- to late September once
FDA approves the shots.
Early studies have shown
that vaccines targeting XBB.1.5
also help protect against other
XBB subvariants, such as
XBB.1.16 and XBB.2.3.

n Thursday, the opening of direc-

tor Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” at
the Boston Common AMC the-
ater, attendees were decked out
in sparkles, sequins, studs, and,
of course, pink. Some pieces were designer,
some were thrifted, and some were from Ama-
zon, but all made up more than just a costume.
Katie McCann, a 33-year-old West End resi-
dent, wore a pink, bedazzled dress with a feath-
ered hem to a nearly sold-out screening. She al-
so carried a hot pink Balenciaga handbag and
matching fuzzy slides.
“I was obsessed with Barbie as a little girl,”
said McCann. “It was the clothes for me. I think
that’s what started all of it, just the Barbie fash-
ion.” Exiting and entering the theater, ticket-
holders passed through the double doors in
flashes of pink — all shades of it, too. Some
wore stripes, others were in florals and flamin-
gos. Bryce Mosher, 26, of Chelsea, decided that
pink cowboy hats also made the cut.
“Oppenheimer,” Christopher Nolan’s new
drama about the Manhattan Project, is the
“Barbie” movie’s box office competitor this
weekend. Planning to attend a five-hour double-
feature with his partner, Mosher paired his
sparkly accessory with dark suit pants and a
matching suit jacket as an homage to both
films.
Maura McGonagle, 34, of Allston, wore se-
quined heels featuring shiny red parrots from
UK-based brand Irregular Choice. She also wore

Her 38-year-old sister, Meghan McGonagle,
of Weymouth, “upcycled” her Barbie-fied shoes
— a pair of purple, sparkly cowboy boots bedaz-
zled with rhinestones. She also had a hot pink,
French tip manicure that matched both her
dangling earrings and her eye makeup.
Married couple Josh Garstka and Nicholas
DiSabatino, both 36 from Medford, matched
with pink floral button-up shirts and crew
socks. They said that they were “here for the
Kenaissance” — a reference to Eva Mendes’s
joke regarding her husband, Ryan Gosling’s,
role as Barbie’s love interest — but they also at-
tributed their festive outfits to a deeper connec-
tion with Barbie dolls.
“I remember going to McDonald’s and get-
ting the Hot Wheels [toy] in my Happy Meal. I
was really jealous that I couldn’t get the Barbies
because they seemed much more fun,” said
Garstka. “It was a much more gendered time

The late Tony Bennett left a piece of his heart in Boston, too
By James Sullivan
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
From its earliest days, WBCN was
known for its free-form style of pro-
gramming. Even by “The Rock of Bos-
ton’s” loose standards, though, the mu-
sic of Tony Bennett was an anomaly.
That didn’t stop ChaChi Loprete
from tearing open a delivery from Co-
lumbia Records containing a vinyl copy
of Bennett’s latest album, “The Art of
Excellence,” one day at the ’BCN studio
in 1986. Though he was already known
as a Beatles fanatic, Loprete grew up in
Cambridge listening to his parents’ re-
cordings of the great Italian-American
crooners — Al Martino, Frank Sinatra,
and of course the former Anthony
Benedetto.
When program director Oedipus
gave the young DJ the go-ahead to play
a selection from Bennett’s new album
on the air, WBCN helped kick off one of
the more unlikely comebacks in pop
music history. Bennett — a star in the
1950s, a has-been by the 1970s —
would soon become the living embodi-
ment of the Great American Songbook
for the MTV generation.
After enjoying three decades re-
stored at the top of his form, Tony Ben-
nett died Friday following several years
of decline due to Alzheimer’s disease.
Bennett would have turned 97 on Aug.
3.
Loprete remained in close contact
over the years with Bennett and his son,
Danny, who managed the singer’s busi-
ness affairs. He accompanied them to
the Super Bowl, to Abbey Road Studios
in London, and to the White House for
a Fourth of July celebration.
“He was the cool uncle,” said Lo-
prete. In fact, Loprete appeared as one
of Bennett’s “sons” in his 1992 TV spe-
cial “A Family Christmas.”
“I never met anyone who loved life
more than him,” said Loprete. “I’ve
been dreading this day.”
Around Boston, many of Bennett’s
friends and admirers mourned the loss.
Radio legend Ron Della Chiesa and his
wife, Joyce, first met Bennett about 40
years ago. When Bennett’s daughter
Antonia came to the city to study at
Berklee College of Music, she often
stayed with the Della Chiesas at their
home in the South End.
On the day of his friend’s death, Del-
la Chiesa wore a Tiffany watch Bennett
gave him around the time of Antonia’s
graduation from Berklee.
“It’s engraved on the back: ‘Thanks
for everything. Love, Tony,’” Della Chie-
sa said.
These days the longtime Boston ra-
dio fixture hosts a weekly program,
“Strictly Sinatra,” from 9 p.m.-midnight
Sundays on WPLM 99.1 FM. This
week’s show will be a tribute to Ben-
nett.
“There’s Tony Bennett, and then
there are other singers,” Della Chiesa
said. “There are lots of Sinatra imita-
tors, but nobody imitates Tony Ben-
nett.”
Pressed to elaborate, Della Chiesa
noted Bennett’s Calabrian heritage.
“His father used to get up in the
mountains and sing from the top of the
hill,” he explained. “Tony grew up lis-
tening to opera, Enrico Caruso, and
what the Italians call bel canto. He
could sustain a note longer than just
about anybody.”
Bennett performed with Arthur Fie-
dler and the Boston Pops at Symphony
Hall in 1977, the first of six appearanc-
es there. He was also a regular with the
Pops at Tanglewood, appearing nine
times beginning in 1991. His final bill-
ing there, with his close friend and ad-
mirer Lady Gaga, occurred in 2015.
Tim Ray, a Berklee professor who
joined Bennett as his piano accompa-
nist around 2016 and was soon ap-
pointed his musical director, noted that
Bennett was a particular fan of female
jazz singers who were fluent improvis-
ers — Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald,
Sarah Vaughan.
By the time Ray auditioned for Ben-
nett, the singer was showing some ef-
fects of Alzheimer’s, though he had not
yet gone public with the diagnosis. “But
his presence, his voice, and his com-
mand of the audience were always top-
notch,” Ray said. “I still marvel at that.”
For years, Bennett typically closed
his shows by setting down his micro-
phone and singing without it.
“Most singers would never think to
sing without a microphone,” Ray said.
“Even in his 90s, he could, absolutely.”
Loprete recalled accompanying Ben-
nett for an appearance at Carnegie Hall.
During soundcheck, Loprete climbed to
the fifth-level balcony of the renowned
venue as his friend put the microphone
down.
“And he yelled up, ‘Hey ChaChi, I’m
gonna try ‘Fly Me to the Moon,’” Lo-
prete remembered. “You could hear ev-
erything. People loved it when he put
the microphone down.”
Bennett’s band late in his career fea-
tured several musicians with Boston
ties, including guitarist Gray Sargent
and bassist Marshall Wood. Wood’s
wife, the singer Donna Byrne, was a fa-
vorite of Bennett’s. She often served as
his opening act. “It doesn’t get any bet-
ter than this,” he once said of her sing-
ing.
“He couldn’t have been nicer,” said
Bill Hanney, who owns the North Shore
Music Theatre in Beverly. Bennett
played there several times beginning in
the 1990s, including a 2014 appearance
a few years after Hanney bought the
venue.
“He worked the room like a 25-year-
old,” Hanney recalled. “Out of all the
people we’ve had perform, he’s proba-
bly tops on my list. When I had the op-
portunity to book him, I grabbed it. It
wasn’t cheap, but guess what? It was
worth every penny.”
“It’s almost the end of an era for his
style of music,” said Maggie Scott, who
recently retired as a Berklee professor
after a long run in the voice depart-
ment. She mentored Antonia Bennett
and has remained in touch with the
family.
“You could always understand his

Celtics need
more talent
to add up to
better team
The Celtics’ roster has more
pure talent than the version
that went quietly to the Heat
in Game 7 of the Eastern
Conference finals. The addi-
tion of 7-foot-3-inch Kristaps
Porzingis, a once and perhaps
future unicorn, has made
that a truth.
But “more talented” and “better team” are
not synonymous, and with the departures of
flawed fighters Marcus Smart and Grant Wil-
liams, it suddenly feels like the Celtics could
use one more trustworthy player at about three
positions.
I’m intrigued. I’m concerned. I hope there’s
more clarity, and another playable depth piece
or two, on the way.
While we await the addition of more rein-
forcements (I’d take Austin Rivers), let’s check
in with the key members of the cast . . .
Jaylen Brown: I don’t feel great about it, but
it’s the truth. The longer this curious delay in
signing Brown to a supermax contract goes on,
the more I find myself pondering whether the
Celtics would be better off if there had been an

son in catnaps while his man roasted him on a

on how it would have gone in Game 7 against
the Heat had he not sprained his ankle and
rendered himself practically sessile on the first
possession, but I figure there are two out-
comes: The Celtics would have won and com-
pleted the comeback from down, 3-0, in the se-
ries. The Celtics would have blown a 10-point
lead with four minutes left and lost on a Jimmy
Butler dagger. One or the other. Anyway, Tat-
um: He always comes back with something
new in his repertoire, and the most important
thing he can do this offseason is figure out how
to become more efficient, especially in the mid-
range. I trust that he will.
Kristaps Porzingis: Concerns about his du-
rability are legitimate, and given how frustrat-
ed he would get in Dallas when Luka Doncic
would go into iso-ball mode, it’s fair to wonder
how he will mesh with Tatum and especially
Brown. But I do think many of us — especially
those still bummed that Smart is no longer
here — are underestimating Porzingis’s gifts as
an offensive player, and it’s going to feel like al-
most a pleasant surprise when we finally do get
to watch him play.

THE 151st BRITISH OPEN ROUND 2
Harman leads Open by five shots
American shoots 65,
ties 36-hole record
By Doug Ferguson
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOYLAKE, England — Brian Harman
found himself in elite company through
two rounds at Royal Liverpool, tying the
36-hole record also held by Tiger Woods
and Rory McIlroy. Even better was having
no company at all atop the leaderboard
Friday in the British Open.
Harman seized control early with four
straight birdies, and saved his best for the
final hole. He ripped a 5-iron to 15 feet for
eagle, giving him a 6-under 65 that gave
him a five-shot lead over Tommy Fleet-
wood going into the weekend.
Not since Scottie Scheffler at the 2021
Masters has a player led a major by five
shots through 36 holes. The last player to
lead the British Open by five shots at the
halfway point was Louis Oosthuizen at St.
Andrews in 2010. Both went on to win
handily.
“I understand a lot can happen at an
Open, but eight shots is a lot of shots to
spot a player who’s playing really well,”
said Jordan Spieth, who lost three shots
on the back nine for a 71 that left him
eight behind. “But I think we’ll just have
to look at what Brian will do. He’s in con-
trol now. It’s on him.”
McIlroy had even more ground to
make up. He figured a round in the 60s
would have put him right back in the mix.
He lost his spark around the turn and on-
ly a birdie at the par-5 18th allowed him
to break par with a 70. He was nine shots
behind in his quest to end nine years
without a major.
Harman’s 65 matched the lowest score
for Royal Liverpool, which is hosting the
Open for the 13th time. He was at 10-un-
der 132, the same score Woods in 2006
and McIlroy in 2014 had when they went
on to win the claret jug.
Harman cared only about a little food,
a little sleep, and not thinking about
much more.
“I’ve had a hot putter the last couple
days, so try to ride it through the weekend
— 36 holes to go, so try to rest up and get
ready,” Harman said.
The key to Saturday might be to stay
dry with rain in the forecast.
Sepp Straka had six birdies over his
last seven holes — the other was a bogey
— for a 31 on the back nine that gave him
a 67. He was alone in third place, six shots
behind Harman.
Fleetwood made back-to-back birdies
on the back nine to get within four shots
of Harman, only to find a bunker to the
left of the 16th fairway. He could only
splash out and had to hit a superb pitch to
save bogey. He scrambled for par on the

pulled off a perfect 6-

Both came through with great shots
at the 18th to make the cut at the Brit-
ish Open on Friday, contrary to a slew
of other major champions who are go-
ing home for the weekend.
Dustin Johnson never had a chance

Thomas couldn’t overcome what he
called “bonehead” mistakes. Collin
Morikawa made a late run that was not

The cut at Royal Liverpool was as
low as 2 over during the day, and ended
with 76 players at 3 over or better.
Smith came into the final hole at 4-
over par, needing at least a birdie. After
finding the fairway with a good drive
off the tee, he hit a superb 6-iron from
232 yards out to just over a foot from
the hole for his eagle.
“It was a good shot,” Smith said. “I
hit plenty of good shots today that
didn’t get kind of that reward, so it was
nice to finish off like that. Given the cir-
cumstance, as well, probably an even
better shot.”
Smith was on the cut line after mak-
ing a birdie at the par-4 12th, but
dropped back after a double at the

Tommy Fleetwood, pondering his putt on the 18th, scrambled for a 71 to remain five shots out of the Open lead.
final two holes for his 71.
Fleetwood, who grew up about 45
minutes away in Southport, had massive
support from the gallery in the northwest
of England. He knows about big deficits
in the Open, having started four shots be-
hind Shane Lowry at Royal Portrush in
the final round in 2019.
At least this time he still has 36 holes.
“Brian had two amazing days,” Fleet-
wood said. “He’s a long way in front. Of
course there’s a long way to go. But still,
for myself and everybody else playing, it’s
just do your thing, play one shot at a time
. . . You just have to keep playing until it’s
over and see where you finish.”
The course remained tough, even
though the R&A chose to rake sand in the
bunker toward the edges to keep golf balls
from rolling next to the edges of the steep,
vetted sides. Such situations led to big
numbers in the opening round.
“It played tough — it played really, re-
ally tough,” McIlroy said. “Ten under par
is unbelievably impressive out there.
We’ll see what the weekend holds. But af-
ter two days I’m actually pretty happy
with my two days’ work.”
At least he has two more days.
Dustin Johnson shot an 82, his worst
score in a major since the final round at
Pebble Beach that cost him a chance in
the 2010 US Open. Justin Thomas re-
bounded from his 82 with a 71 that was
all about momentum — he is playing next
week in Minnesota as he tries to qualify

“Was just kind of another one of
those days,” said Smith, the Open win-
ner at St. Andrews last year. “But it was
good to end like that for sure.”
Scheffler made four bogeys on the
back nine and arrived at the 18th need-
ing a birdie to keep alive his streak of
not missing any cuts this season. He

tournaments, though his last win was

“I think the scorecard is a long way off
how the game feels,” Smith said. “It’s been
a frustrating couple of days.”
That’s what made Harman’s round so
impressive. A pint-sized lefthander with
Georgia grit, Harman has done the best at
keeping the ball in play — on grass, not
pot bunkers — and he has made only one
bogey through 36 holes.
His start got everyone’s attention —
birdie putts from 20 feet on the second,
25 feet on the third, 18 feet on the fourth.
And then he went long on the par-5 fifth,
only to watch his chip bang into the pin

Just Stop Oil is an organization that
wants the British government to stop
new oil, gas, and coal projects. It has in-
terrupted a slew of major sporting
events in Britain in recent months, in-
cluding Wimbledon, an Ashes cricket
test and the world snooker champion-
ship.
Ahead of the Open, R&A chief exec-
utive Martin Slumbers said there were
“significant security procedures in
place” to deal with protesters and that
players have been advised to not get in-
volved.
Aussie aces 17th
Australian Travis Smyth aced the
17th hole.
Smyth hit a high 9-iron tee shot that
bounced twice before going in the pic-
turesque hole that played 132 yards
long Friday.
There was a huge roar from the
crowd, and Smyth raised his right arm
to celebrate as his caddie and playing
partners came over to congratulate
him. It was the first hole-in-one at Hoy-
lake this week.
The 17th was redesigned to add dra-
ma to the Open at Royal Liverpool this
year, challenging players with an elevat-
ed green well protected by steep slopes
and deep bunkers.
Smyth, ranked No. 310, was 2-over
par for the round before making the
ace. He finished his round at 1-over 72
and was at 8 over for the tournament.

RED SOX NOTEBOOK

Cooperstown visit raises Sale’s spirits

By Alex Speier
GLOBE STAFF

Chris Sale spent the All-Star break

in Cooperstown with his family to
watch his 13-year-old son, Ryland, take
part in a tournament. For Sale, the visit
was rich with joy and nostalgia.
As a 12-year-old, Sale had homered
in the same tournament.
“I was standing in the exact spot
where I took a picture with my home
run baseball, on Field 1, and was just
like, ‘This is where it was,’ ” Sale
beamed. “I think I made better memo-
ries this time around than I did when I
was a kid. It’s really cool to see one of
my sons do the same thing I did, with
how important it was to me.”
Sale also toured the Hall of Fame for
the first time in 22 years — and this
time, he got to see some memorabilia
from his own career.
“That was pretty cool. That was kind
of special,” said Sale. “Obviously, the
last couple years have sucked for me, so
it was a nice little pick-me-up, like,
‘Yeah, I used to be good.’ ”
Sale — who landed on the injured
list June 2 with a stress reaction in his
shoulder — took his rehab work with
him during the break. His Airbnb hosts
provided a throwing net so he could
work on building arm strength in the
backyard of his rental house, and he re-
turned to Fenway after his son was
eliminated from the tournament to
continue his throwing progression.

Three-run homer highlights Story-book return to field

uSTORY
Continued from Page C1
September. The 30 year old un-
derwent internal brace surgery
— an alternative to Tommy John
that allows for a quicker recov-
ery — on his right elbow in Janu-
ary.
Before he took the field Fri-
day, there was a moment of re-
flection to appreciate the jour-
ney.
“Just took some time by my-
self to realize the hard work and
realize the time and effort spent
by not just me, but our whole
staff, a lot of people involved,”
Story said.
Before his home run, Story
worked a seven-pitch walk after
going down 0-2 and flew out to
left field.
“I felt like I was seeing the
ball well and getting some good
swings off,” he said. “Made the
adjustment there at the end, and
yeah, homers are always good.”
Also in Portland on a rehab
assignment was Corey Kluber,
who has been out since late June
due to shoulder inflammation.
The veteran righthander al-
lowed one hit, no walks, and re-
corded one strikeout. Relying
heavily on his offspeed arsenal,
the 37 year old threw 22 of his
35 pitches for strikes, starting
five of the seven batters he faced
with a strike.
There could have been trou-
ble with a runner on second in
the third inning, but Story made
a nice play on a soft grounder,
making a throw across his body
to end the inning.
“I thought it was a good first
step,” Kluber said. “Not perfect,
but I think, all-in-all, happy with
the way I commanded the ball.”
The Sox signed Kluber with
the hope he could be a produc-
tive member of the rotation after
he made 31 starts for the Rays in
2022. However, the two-time Cy
Young winner has struggled
mightily this season, recording a
7.04 ERA in 55 innings.
Kluber refused to use the in-
jury as an excuse, but he did of-
fer that he might have been “bat-
tling through some stuff ” that
was altering the way he was
throwing.
“I think more than anything,
it was just getting things feeling
well, being able to go out there
and kind of move the way I like
to move or am able to,” he said.
Kluber said he’ll find out the
next step in his rehab process
Saturday. Story is set for a longer
stint in the minors, with the
short-term plan for him to DH
on Saturday, then return to short
Sunday. He could then join Tri-
ple A Worcester, which begins a
six-game homestand Tuesday.
Normal preparation during
spring training for Story would
consist of approximately 20
games and 50 at-bats. He said
that would be ideal before re-
turning to the big leagues, but
added the wild-card race — the
Sox entered Friday three games
behind Toronto and Houston —
could change things.
“I think we’ve done a lot of
work to try to cut that timeline
d o w n a s I ’m p l a y i n g t h e s e
games, and so I feel good about
that,” Story said.
Story hit .238/.303/.434 in 94
games for the Sox last season,
but was poised to win a Gold
Glove at second base. Team-
mates have praised Story, who
led the majors in stolen bases in
2020, for his ability to put pres-
sure on defenses with his speed
and power. On Friday, Portland
manager Chris Epperson called
him “a Clydesdale.”
This is Story’s second assign-
ment in Portland. He played five
games for the Sea Dogs last July
while coming back from a bro-
ken wrist he suffered, coinciden-
tally, after being hit by a pitch
from Kluber.
“The way he mingled with
the players and connected with
them was awesome,” Epperson
said.
The Sox have struggled to
find an adequate replacement at
shortstop during Story’s lengthy
absence. Pablo Reyes has played
15 games there for the Sox this
season, but he led off for Port-
land Friday and played center
field, on his own rehab assign-
ment for an abdominal strain.
Story batted second, followed by
the organization’s shortstop of
the future, Marcelo Mayer. Ep-
person said Mayer and second
baseman Nick Yorke — two first-
round picks who could soon be
anchoring the Sox’ middle in-
field — have a “huge” opportuni-
ty to pick Story’s brain.
“He’s a true pro,” Epperson
said. “Those guys, he will talk to
them about what to expect down
the road and what they need to
really hone in on while they’re
here. That’s the type of guy he
is.”
Story said he was planning
on sitting down one-on-one with
Mayer on Saturday. With Story
at short, Mayer played third base
for the first time in his career
and electrified the sellout crowd
of 7,368 at Hadlock Field with a
first-inning triple.
“The kid can swing the bat,
that’s for sure,” Story said. “He’s
a big kid. I think he’s going to be
at the forefront of what we’re do-
ing for a long time. I think he’s
got that kind of personality; he
believes in himself that way. I
was excited to see him, and he
showed out tonight.”
Per custom, Story will treat
the locker room to a postgame
meal before leaving. On Friday,
however, it was Kluber’s turn.
“Trevor’s here for a couple
days,” Kluber said, “so I got it to-
night.”

Suspended game vs. Mets could stress shorthanded Sox staff

uRED SOX
Continued from Page C1
in recent weeks, Duran then cre-
ated mayhem with his speed,
stealing second and advancing
to third on a throwing error by
catcher Francisco Alvarez, be-
fore scoring on a Justin Turner
ground out to give the Sox an
immediate 1-0 edge.
The Sox soon extended their
advantage. With two outs in the
bottom of the second, Triston
Casas walked and advanced to
second on a Connor Wong sin-
gle. Yu Chang connected with a
96-mile-per-hour fastball at the
top of the zone, lofting a ball to
left that banged off the Wall for
an only-in-Fenway, two-run
double that put the Sox ahead,
3-0.
The advantage seemed siz-
able. It wasn’t.
The Mets stormed back with
two-run homers in the next two
innings off Sox starter Kutter
Crawford, with Brandon Nim-
mo hitting one into the right-
fieldgrandstand in the third in-
ning and Daniel Vogelbach
launching a ball over the visi-
tor’s bullpen in the fourth.
In the last three games, Red
Sox starters Crawford, Brayan
Bello (3), and Joe Jacques (2)
have allowed a combined seven
homers in 9‚ innings. The
three-game stretch marks the
first time Sox starters have al-
lowed multiple homers in three
straight games since they
opened the season by allowing
multiple homers in each of the
first five games of the year.
But the flood of homers was
soon followed by an actual del-
uge. As the rain intensified,
crew chief Alfonso Marquez
summoned the tarp mid-at-bat,
with Senga ahead in the count,
1-2, against Alex Verdugo with
one out.
Though incomplete, the con-
test was noteworthy for the siz-
able contingent of visitors. The
Mets had an enormous turnout,
resulting in resounding cheers
for New York’s two-run homers.
Yet perhaps more interesting
was the presence of at least sev-
en scouts covering the contest
as the Aug. 1 trade deadline
nears. The Mets — at 45-51, a
startling disappointment — are
viewed as a likely seller, while
scouts from other teams are pre-
paring in case the Sox (51-46,
three games back in the wild
card standings entering Friday)
deal some of their players who
are signed or under team con-
trol only through 2023 or 2024.
The scheduled matchup of
Max Scherzer and James Paxton
on Saturday night represents a
pair of pitchers whose availabili-
ty and performances will be
monitored particularly closely
by the rest of the industry in
what is viewed as a market with
many buyers and few sellers.
Despite that added dimen-
sion of intrigue, Sox manager
Alex Cora downplayed the no-
tion that the outcome of games
takes on magnified significance
at this time.
“I don’t get caught up in the
whole, ‘The next nine games are
do-or-die for the Red Sox!’ No,”
Sox manager Alex Cora said be-
fore the game. “We just play the
schedule and keep playing good
baseball and we’re going to be
fine. Obviously the topic [of the
trade deadline] is going to be
louder and louder and louder.
That’s your job to do that. But
for us, just keep playing. Keep
playing good baseball.”
The Sox — who are an as-
tounding 2-13 (.133) against NL
teams at Fenway this year, easily
the worst home interleague re-
cord in baseball — will have the
opportunity to do just that for
more than 14 innings Saturday.
But with a rotation already
down to three full-time starters
(Crawford, James Paxton, and
Brayan Bello — who is going on
paternity leave on Saturday)
plus long-man Nick Pivetta, the
challenge facing the pitching
staff will be considerable.

Bishop Fenwick draws 1-year postseason ban

MIAA cited violation
of eligibility waiver
By Emma Healy
GLOBE STAFF
Bishop Fenwick will be ineligible for
postseason tournament play across all
sports during the 2023-24 school year
as a result of MIAA rule violations. The
ruling applies to team and individual
sports.
According to an MIAA statement re-
leased Friday, Fenwick, a parochial
school in Peabody that is a member of
the Catholic Central League, was in vio-
lation of Rule 87.6, which outlines steps
for accountability if information report-
ed on student eligibility waivers is inac-
curate or incomplete. Typically, student
eligibility waivers are used in cases of
transfers and re-classification.
The MIAA did not specify which
sport, team, or athlete was involved in
the ruling.
“The Board determined that Bishop
Fenwick’s failure to comply with MIAA’s
rules, and its pattern of conduct was
sufficiently serious, egregious and re-
peated to warrant imposition of the dis-
cipline outlined in Rule 87.6.4,” the
board, which voted unanimously to im-
pose the ban, wrote in the statement.
Fenwick president Thomas Nunan
Jr. said the ruling is a result of the MI-
AA’s evaluation of a fifth-year participa-
tion waiver application for one student-
athlete. The MIAA denied the student’s
waiver request, and the student never
appeared on the field, Nunan said.
The application, however, contained
erroneous information, causing the MI-
AA’s review.
“The MIAA is maintaining that Bish-
op Fenwick, in its application for the
waiver, was knowingly and willfully de-
ceitful,” Nunan said.
There were three errors in the stu-
dent’s application, according to Nunan:
the number of schools the student at-
tended, the number of varsity games the
student appeared in as a freshman,
and the “perception of his athletic abili-
ty.”
“They are errors that were not in any
way intentional, and they were not
made in any way to gain any competi-
tive advantage,” Nunan said. “And they
were errors that we acknowledged to
the MIAA.”
Nunan declined to say who was re-
sponsible for the errors on the form.
According to the statement, Fenwick
made written and factual statements to
the MIAA eligibility appeals board in
November 2022 and March 2023. Ad-
ministrators including Nunan, athletic
director Scott Connolly, and former
principal Cecilia Marquez then attend-
ed a hearing with the MIAA Board of
Directors on May 17.
The MIAA did not specify whether
the school can appeal the decision, but
Nunan said that Fenwick’s legal repre-
sentation is in conversation with the
MIAA.
“We’re hopeful that we can have an-
other outcome or another resolution to
this matter that will satisfy the MIAA’s
need for accountability and also not un-
fairly punish the students at Bishop
Fenwick,” Nunan said.

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL ALLIANCE CHAMPIONSHIP

Renegades aim for fifth title

Egos in check in WFA championship vs. St. Louis Slam
By Kat Cornetta
GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
If the Boston Renegades
hope to hoist the Women’s Foot-
ball Alliance’s national champi-
onship trophy for the fifth con-
secutive year, they’ ll need to
cast all ego aside. Though it’s
never been about individuals
with this year’s edition.
“In our circle at the end of
the last game, when we broke
down what we did in that
game, that was actually some-
thing we talked about,” said
running back Katie Falkowski.
“ We don’t care who gets the
credit, it’s who can get the job
done in this particular situa-
tion.”
On Saturday, the Renegades’

personal accolades. It’s about
stepping up in the role that the
team needs you for at that
time.”
The Renegades’ offense con-
tinues to be the WFA’s best,
with Cahill passing for 2,155
yards in her 20th season. Bos-
ton boasts three wide receivers
in the league’s top six (Bonds,
Stephanie Pascual, and KD Elli-
son) and three of the league’s
top 15 rushers (Tytti Kuusinen,
Falkowski, and Ruth Matta).
That depth has allowed the
Renegades to score 128 points
in two games this postseason.
Falkowski, who is one of
Boston’s 13 first-team selec-
tions, has emerged as one of the
team’s go-to offensive weapons.
The Sandwich native has 353
rushing yards and seven touch-
downs. She will be called upon
as the Slam target the Rene-
gades’ more well-known offen-
sive stars, such as Matta and
all these crazy things that work,
which makes his defense that
much better,” said linebacker
Darcy Leslie.
The Slam won the WFA title
in 2009, but dropped to the
league’s second division two
seasons later. They were suc-
cessful, winning the 2016, ’17,
and ’19 titles.
But when the WFA began
play again after the COVID-19
pandemic, the Slam did not.
Citing the number of health-
care workers on its roster, St.
Louis opted out of the 2021 sea-
son. But the Slam rejoined the
league in 2022, making the
jump to the top division.
The Slam advanced to Satur-
day’s game with a 44-27 victory
over the Vixen, the team the
Renegades defeated in the last
two national championship
games. Those 27 points were
the most St. Louis’s defense has
allowed all year. In the regular

Olympic champion Canada
was held to a 0-0 draw by Nige-
ria in its Women’s World Cup
opener in Melbourne, Austra-
lia, after Nigerian goalkeeper
Chiamaka Nnadozie made sev-
eral key saves, including one
on a penalty from Christine
Sinclair.
“We wanted three (points,
for a win), but getting the point
keeps you in it and keeps you
alive for advancement. So it’s a
very positive feeling right now,”
Nigeria coach Randy Waldrum
said following the match that
ended Friday after 1 a.m. East-
ern Time.
It was a crucial miss for Sin-
clair, the 40-year-old who is the
leading all-time scorer in inter-
national soccer — women or
men — with 190 goals. Aiming
to be the oldest player to score
at the Women’s World Cup, she
also missed a chance in the
ninth minute when she was un-
marked at the edge of the box
but misfired.
“Christine Sinclair has
scored many, many, many goals
for this country and I’m sure
the fans, the team and every-
one can forgive missing a pen-
alty kick,” Canada coach Bev
Priestman said.
Nnadozie was voted Player
of the Match.
Sinclair lined up for the
penalty shot in the 50th min-
ute after a earning it via a video
review. She exited in the 71st.
Nnadozie also denied a shot
from inside the box by Evelyne
Viens in the 65th. At the end of
the Group B game, she fell to
her knees and let out a celebra-
tory yell.
“We opened the Olympics
with a draw, and we’ve got to
move on quickly now and re-
view and move on because that
is tournament football,” Priest-
man said. “You can’t get
bogged down on what you did
or didn’t do. It’s onto the next
task.”
Putellas in for Spain
When Alexis Putellas made
her entry into Spain’s opener at
the Women’s World Cup
against Costa Rica in Welling-
ton, New Zealand, the Group E
match was already won.
The two-time Ballon d’Or
winner waited 77 minutes to
leave the bench and to provide
an early answer to questions
about her fitness after her long
recuperation from a knee inju-
ry. Her appearance in the 3-0
win in stinging rain and cold
was an affirmation of her fit-
ness, the promise of better
things to come as the tourna-
ment proceeds and the last
component of a triumphant
night for Spain.
“Every single moment for
her really counts. She’s a really
good quality player,” Spain
coach Jorge Vilda said. “We’re
going to do our best to help her
and get the best out of her.”
Three goals in less than five
minutes — an own goal, one by
Aitana Bonmati, and another
from Esther Gonzalez — in the
middle of a first half in which
they enjoyed extraordinary
dominance of possession and
freedom on attack carried

Rica by halftime. That lead en-
dured for all of the second half,
though Spain finished with 45
shots on goal, an extraordinary
total.
Spain’s winning margin
would have been much greater,
but for a determined perfor-
mance by Costa Rica goalkeep-
er Daniela Solero on her 26th
birthday. Solero saved a first-
half penalty and parried shot
after shot to prevent Spain’s
lead growing beyond already
emphatic proportions.

Should the United States top

Sydney for the round of 16.
PATRIOTS POSITIONAL OUTLOOK OFFENSIVE LINE
With training camp set to start at the end of the month, we’ll
provide a position-by-position breakdown of where the Patri-
ots stand heading into late July. Here’s a look at the offensive
line:
Roll call: David Andrews, Jake Andrews, Calvin Anderson,
Trent Brown, James Ferentz, Chasen Hines, Atonio Mafi, Conor
McDermott, Bill Murray, Mike Onwenu, Riley Reiff, Kody
Russey, Sidy Sow, Cole Strange, Andrew Stueber.
By the numbers:
5: The number of starting combinations the Patriots used
along their offensive line last season, a group that included
four starters at right tackle.
9: The number of penalties that were assessed on Brown last
season (not counting those that were declined or offset), tops
on the team.
90: Three members of the line — Onwenu (99 percent), Brown
(98 percent), and Strange (94 percent) — were the only offen-
sive players on the roster to play at least 90 percent of the
snaps in 2022.
The skinny: One of the things that got lost in the drama sur-
rounding Matt Patricia’s role on the coaching staff last season
was the fact he not only served as the de facto play-caller, but
the offensive line coach, as well. Patricia’s part-time role with
the big guys up front undoubtedly played a part in the strug-
gles protecting the quarterback. The arrival of Adrian Klemm
should remedy the situation, and if Reiff or Anderson can hold
down the right tackle spot, that would go a long way toward
helping Mac Jones and the offense succeed. In a perfect
world, New England would feature (left to right) Brown,
Strange, David Andrews, Onwenu, and Reiff/Anderson.
How this position rates vs. the rest of the league: Not great.
Instability at tackle has been one of the biggest questions
marks for the Patriots the last couple of seasons, particularly
on the right side. The Patriots had four starters at right tackle
last season. That, combined with the inconsistent perfor-
mance of Brown on the left side, led to protection issues. The
interior still feels stable, but the issues on the edge have left
New England looking for answers when it comes to offensive
line play.
Quote of note: “I remember I went out to work out a player at
UCLA, and Adrian was the offensive line coach. I sat at a dis-
tance and watched him coach the whole practice. He’s a de-
tailed guy. He’s tough. He doesn’t have much patience for
guys that aren’t working hard.” — former offensive line coach
Dante Scarnecchia on new O-line coach Adrian Klemm, on the
“6 Rings and Football Things” podcast this spring.
Biggest story lines: Can New England find some stability at
tackle with newcomers Reiff or Anderson? Can Brown regain
his form?

Messi delivers Miami win
Lionel Messi made an un-
forgettable debut for Inter Mi-
ami, scoring on a free kick
from 25 yards out in the 94th
minute to give the hosts a 2-1
win over Mexican club Cruz
Azul on Friday night in the
Leagues Cup. His left foot sent
the ball over a wall of four Cruz
Azul defenders and into the
upper left corner of the net.
Messi did not start, but came
on eight minutes into the sec-
ond half with Miami up 1-0
thanks to Robert Taylor’s goal
just before halftime. But Uriel
Antuna tied it up for Cruz Azul
in the 65th minute — setting
the stage for Messi’s heroics.

Former NBA All-Star Kem-

in his first season in Boston in
2019-20. But the 33-year-old
Walker has missed significant

playing just nine games with

Kasper Asgreen in a photo fin-
ish to win the Tour de France’s
19th stage in Poligny, while de-
fending champion Jonas
Vingegaard protected his com-
Celtics from being able to re-
tain Grant Williams. I’d rather
have Horford, even at his ad-
vanced age, at that bargain rate
than pay Williams $54 million
over four years. Horford has
lost a step defensively and his
shooting nosedived in the play-
offs, but if his coach can resist
playing him 31 minutes per
game again this season, he can
still be an effective player, and
he will always be a smart and
selfless one.
Malcolm Brogdon: I know
the $22 million annual price
tag is steep, but sometimes I
feel like I’m the only one who
remembers how essential and
effective he was during the reg-
ular season. The Celtics would
have won the title two years
ago had he been on the roster
then. The Celtics are better off
with him still on the roster
now, and while he was in score-
first mode last season, he is ca-
pable of picking up some of the
playmaking slack, having aver-
aged more than 7 assists per
game at one point in his career.

contributor this season. His
shot mechanics suggest his pro-

Tony Bennett, ‘best Dick Biondi,

singer in the business’
uBENNETT
Continued from Page A1
Francisco” may have been Mr.
Bennett’s signature tune, but
“Unplugged” was its signature
event. It was a recognition of his
fast-talking
jazzman’s ease. The National
star of Top
Endowment for the Arts named
Mr. Bennett one of its Jazz Mas- 40 radio, 90
ters in 2005. He cited the virtuo-
so jazz pianist Art Tatum as his By Richard Sandomir
most important instrumental NEW YORK TIMES

special ability to bridge genera-
tions, eras, styles.
Mr. Bennett sold some 50
million records over the course
of his career. In 2011, his “Duets
II’’ album went to the top of the
Billboard charts. At 85, he be-
came the oldest recording artist
to have a number one record.
Three years later, he broke that
record again, with an album of
duets with one of his singing
partners from that earlier re-
lease, Lady Gaga. The two re-
leased a follow-up, Mr. Bennett’s
final recording, in 2021. Their
pairing was further evidence,
not that any was needed, of the
universality of his appeal. Long
since a classic himself, Mr. Ben-
nett had no difficulty extending
his classicism to others.
Along with Sinatra, Mr. Ben-
nett belonged to the bel canto
tradition of such Italian male
pop vocalists as Russ Columbo,
Vic Damone, Al Martino, Buddy
Greco, Dean Martin, and Perry
Como.
Yet Mr. Bennett’s popularity
owed nothing to the Mediterra-
nean good looks and Latin-lover
image customarily associated
with such singers. His sleepy
eyes, scimitar nose, and pro-
nounced chin made his face a
caricaturist’s dream. That very
homeliness underscored the
sense of sincerity and lack of af-
fectation he projected.
Mr. Bennett was never com-
fortable with show-biz flash. He
was “incapable of sounding
slick,” the critic Will Friedwald
writes in his book “Jazz Singing.”
“There’s a quality about it
that lets you in,” the composer
Alec Wilder once said of Mr.
Bennett’s voice. Calling him “a
consummate entertainer,” the
jazz critic Francis Davis added
that Mr. Bennett “also happens
to be the decent sort of fellow
you’d be happy to find on the
next barstool.” Sinatra, whom
Mr. Bennett called “my favorite
singer,” put it best. “ You can
only be yourself,” he told him
in 1957. “But you’re good at
that.”
Mr. Benne tt was good at
many things. Even as his large,
dark-toned voice allowed him to
envelop a song, the seeming ef-
fortlessness of his phrasing
meant there was never any risk
he’d overpower a lyric. His taste
was superior. “I’ve always tried
to do the cream of the popular
repertoire and yet remain com-
mercial,” he said in a New York-
er magazine interview. He uti-
lized very effectively a bravura
dynamic range, something he
learned to do from his friend Ju-
dy Garland.
As most notably demonstrat-
ed in his several recordings with
Count Basie, Mr. Bennett had a
very sure rhythmic sense and
could swing a song with a
influence and the Swing Era
singer Mildred Bailey as his
most important vocal influence.
Mr. Bennett’s talents extend-
ed beyond singing. A gifted
painter, he had his first gallery
exhibit in 1971, in London, and
first museum retrospective in
1994 at the Butler Institute of
American Art, in Youngstown,
Ohio. Three of his works are in
the collection of the Smithso-
nian Institution.
The sense of sincerity and
dedication that Mr. Bennett
brought to his artistry extended
to the social realm. As a soldier
in Germany, he ate with a Black
friend, a violation of the Army’s
segregation policy that earned
him a demotion and assignment
to a graves-registration unit.
Twenty years later, he joined
Martin Luther King Jr. on the
1965 Alabama march from Sel-
ma to Montgomery. “I am as
proud (more proud, really, in
many ways) to have been a small
part . . . of his march,” Mr. Ben-
nett wrote in his 2016 book,
“Just Getting Started,” “as I am
of any Grammy Award or gold
record.”
Anthony Dominick Benedet-
to was born on Aug. 3, 1926, in
Queens, N.Y., the son of John
Benedetto and Anna (Suraci)
Benedetto. He was the first
member of his family to be born
in a hospital. Mr. Bennett’s fa-
ther, the owner of a small gro-
cery store, died when his son
was 10. His mother went to
work as a seamstress to support
him and his older brother and
sister. Mr. Bennett dropped out
of high school and started sing-
ing in amateur shows under the
name Joe Bari.
Drafted in 1944, he served in
the Army and saw action in
France and Germany during the
closing months of World War II.
An officer who heard him sing-
ing in the shower had Mr. Ben-
nett transferred to special ser-
vices, where he began perform-
ing for his fellow troops.
After leaving the Army, Mr.
Bennett used the GI Bill to study
singing at the American Theatre
Wing in New York. He worked
as a singing waiter and ap-
peared on “Arthur Godfrey’s Tal-
ent Scouts” program, where he
lost to Rosemary Clooney. The
singer Pearl Bailey gave him a
spot in her nightclub revue.
When Bob Hope saw the act, he
asked Mr. Bennett to appear
with him. It was Hope who sug-
gested Tony Bennett as a stage
name.
Mr. Bennett signed with Co-
lumbia Records in 1950, an as-
sociation that would last 21
years, then resume again with
Mr. Bennett’s comeback in the
’80 s. He would record more
than 80 albums for the label.
Mr. Bennett’s first Columbia
Mr. Bennett won 19 Grammy Awards, one of them for lifetime achievement, over his decades
as a performer. Clockwise from above, he sang with Lady Gaga at Tanglewood in 2015, sat
backstage at the Latin Quarter nightclub in Boston in 1952, and joined the Boston Pops on
their opening night in 1987.

release was “The Boulevard of
Broken Dreams.” The next year
he had his first No. 1 hit, “Be-
cause of You.” It was followed by
a string of gold records: Hank
Williams’s “Cold, Cold Heart,”
“Rags to Riches,” “Stranger in
Paradise,” and “In the Middle of
an Island.”
As the ’50s drew to a close,
Mr. Bennett’s music began to
evolve. The arrival of rock un-
derscored the essential medioc-
rity of the material Mr. Bennett
was being saddled with by Mitch
Miller, Columbia’s head of art-
ists and repertoire. His work be-
gan to assume a more jazz-ori-
ented feel with such LPs as
“ C l o u d 7 ,” “ T h e B e a t o f My
Heart,” and the Basie record-
ings.
In 1962, Mr. Bennett enjoyed
a dual triumph. He made his
Carnegie Hall debut and re-
leased “I Left My Heart in San
Francisco.” Originally the B side
to a song called “Once Upon a
Time,” it earned Mr. Bennett his
first two Grammys and another
gold record. He donated the lat-
ter to the City of San Francisco.
The song became Mr. Bennett’s
trademark, and he claimed nev-
er to tire of singing it.
It took several years for the
growing dominance of rock to
take a toll on Mr. Bennett’s ca-
reer. He released what would re-
main a personal favorite among
his recordings, “The Movie Song
Album,” in 1966. Among its
tracks was the theme song from
his film debut, “ The Oscar ”
(1966). Playing an agent with
the improbable name of Hymie
Kelly, Mr. Bennett earned such
poor notices that the film role
was his last as well as first. The
recipient of two Emmy Awards,
Mr. Bennett fared better on the
small screen.
After being dropped by Co-
lumbia, Mr. Bennett started his
own label, Improv. He recorded
several albums, most memora-
bly two superlative sessions with
the jazz pianist Bill Evans in the
mid-’70s. He then went nine
years without a new release.
Mr. Bennett’s son Danny, a
former rock musician, became
his manager in 1979. He got his
father back on Columbia and
oversaw a series of well-received
concept albums — including
tributes to Irving Berlin, Sina-
tra, and Fred Astaire — which
MICHAEL BLANCHARD
JACK O’CONNELL/GLOBE STAFF/FILE
helped pave the way for his MTV
appearances. Even at the height
of his early success, in the ’50s,
Mr. Bennett had never been hip.
Now he was. “Tony Bennett Un-
plugged” won a Grammy for al-
bum of the year. He appeared in
ads for Nike and was an early
guest voice on “The Simpsons.”
He appeared as himself on such
TV series as “30 Rock” and “En-
tourage” and showed up as
“Phony” Bennett on “Saturday
Night Live.” Mr. Bennett’s cameo
vocal at the end of “Analyze
This” (1999) got the hit comedy
one of its biggest laughs.
In 2005, Mr. Bennett was a
Kennedy Center honoree.
His marriages to Patricia
Beech and Sandra Grant ended
in divorce. In addition to his
son, Danny, he leaves his wife,
Susan; daughters Johanna and
Antonia; another son, Dae; and
nine grandchildren.
Asked once to account for his
success, Mr. Bennett replied,
“The trick, really, is to learn all
the rules and then throw it all
away and be yourself.”

Dick Biondi, an exuberant,
fast-talking Top 40 radio person-
ality, nicknamed “the Screamer,”
who in the early 1960s became
one of Chicago’s most popular
disc jockeys, died June 26 in Chi-
cago. He was 90.
His death was confirmed by
Pamela Enzweiler-Pulice, the di-
rector of a forthcoming docu-
m e n t a r y, “ T h e Vo i c e T h a t
Rocked America: The Dick Bion-
di Story.”
Mr. B i o n d i w a s a y e l l e r,
though not a shock jock, at WLS-
AM, which had just changed its
format to rock ’n’ roll when he
was hired for the late evening
shift in 1960 for $378 a week
(about $3,900 in today’s dollars).
The station’s reach into 38 states
and Canada provided Mr. Biondi
with a platform that made him a
major media personality as rock
music’s popularity surged.
Mr. Biondi, who was induct-
ed into the Radio Hall of Fame in
1998, quickly established him-
self as a Chicago star.
“Nobody came close to his
personality,” Enzweiler-Pulice
said in a phone interview. “He
was wild, outrageous, goofy, and
uplifting. He was like a big kid —
he was one of us. He spoke our
language.”
In 1961, The Gavin Report,
an industry publication, named
him the Top 40 disc jockey of the
year. His evening ratings eventu-
ally rose to the highest in Chica-
go radio.
Despite “operating in the
shadowland of the nighttime
disk jockey, where the glare of
national publicity and the adula-
tion of the fan magazines seldom
penetrates,” Roger Ebert, the fu-
ture film critic, wrote in late
1961 in The Daily Illini, the stu-
dent newspaper of the Universi-
ty of Illinois Urbana- Cham-
paign, “Biondi has managed in
the past two years to become one
of the most famous men in the
Midwest.”
But Mr. Biondi’s time at WLS
ended in 1963 after only three
years. He was fired when he
complained about the amount of
commercials on his show com-
pared with that of a competitor,
Dick Kemp, known as “the Wild
Child,” on a rival station. Mr. Bi-
ondi said that his carping an-
gered the sales manager; in one
confrontation at the studio, Mr.
Biondi, armed with a letter
opener, had to be restrained by
two engineers.
This was, Mr. Biondi said,
one of 25 times he was dis-
missed from various jobs over
the course of his career.
Richard Orlando Biondi was
born Sept. 13, 1932, in Endicott,
N.Y., near Binghamton, to Mi-
chael and Rose Biondi. He first
performed on radio when he
was 8, and, as he stood outside a
studio in Auburn, N.Y., the an-
nouncer he was watching asked
him to read a commercial for a

From a racist Army rebuke came a steely commitment to civil rights
By Dave Kindy
WASHINGTON POST
What were the chances?
Thousands of miles from home,
in a foreign land devastated by
war, old friends bumped into
each other on the street.
It was Thanksgiving Day,
1945, when two Army soldiers
met unexpectedly in Mannheim,
Germany. Part of the occupation
force in a conquered city that
had been leveled by Allied
bombing during World War II,
they had sung together only a
few years earlier in a musical
group back in high school in
New York City.
The young men decided to
spend the rest of the day togeth-
er, attending a church service
and then having a turkey dinner.
At least, that was the plan. Their
impromptu reunion was cut
short just before the meal.
An Army officer blasted the
two soldiers — one Black and the
other white — with a hate-filled
rant for being together in public.
In the segregated military of the
day, the two men were not al-
lowed to socialize. Back then,
the punishment for Black and
White soldiers associating with
one another was more severe
than if they fraternized with ci-
vilians in occupied Germany.
The white soldier’s experienc-
es in the Army had a profound
effect on him. The 19-year-old
corporal — who had survived the
horrors of combat and witnessed
atrocities while liberating Nazi
death camps — vowed to be-
come a pacifist and to work for
racial harmony.
Anthony Dominick Benedet-
to made good on his promise
when he later marched with the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in
Selma, Ala., under his profes-
sional name: Tony Bennett. The
experience prompted the leg-
endary singer of jazz songs and
American standards to speak
out for peace and equality for the
rest of his life.
‘‘I couldn’t get over the fact
that they condemned us for just
being friends, and especially
while we served our country in
wartime,’’ Mr. Bennett wrote in
his 1998 autobiography, ‘‘The
Good Life.’’ ‘‘There we were, just
two kids happy to see each other,
trying to forget for the moment
the horror of the war, but for the
brass it just boiled down to the
color of our skin.’’
The young soldier had been
one of thousands of replacement
troops who were thrust into
front-line combat in January
1945 at the tail end of the Battle
of the Bulge. He witnessed death
and destruction at an untoward
level as his company in the Sev-
enth Army fought its way across
France and into Germany.
‘‘The main thing I got out of
my military service was the real-
ization that I was completely op-
posed to war,’’ he wrote, adding,
‘‘I don’t care what anybody says:
no human being should have to
go to war, especially an eighteen-
year-old boy.’’
As bad as that was, Mr. Ben-
nett was stunned when his regi-
ment liberated a concentration
camp in Landsberg, Germany, a
subcamp for the notorious
Dachau death camp. Women
and children had been slaugh-
tered long before the Americans
arrived, while half the surviving,
emaciated men had been shot
only the day before.
‘‘I’ll never forget the desper-
ate faces and empty stares of the
prisoners as they wandered aim-
lessly around the campgrounds,’’
he wrote. They ‘‘had been brutal-
ized for so long that at first they
couldn’t believe we were there to
help them and not to kill them.’’
The war in Europe ended
with Nazi Germany’s uncondi-
tional surrender on May 7, 1945.
Mr. Bennett remained with the
occupying US army and was
transferred to Special Services,
where he entertained the troops
with his remarkable voice.
On Thanksgiving Day, he was
in Mannheim when he bumped
into his old friend Frank Smith.
They had been in a quartet to-
gether at the School of Industrial
Art in Manhattan in 1942.
‘‘I was thrilled to see a famil-
iar face from back home after be-
ing surrounded by strangers for
so many months,’’ Mr. Bennett
remembered. ‘‘He took me with
him to a holiday service at a Bap-
tist church he’d found. We want-
ed to spend the whole day to-
gether — it just felt so good to be
with a friend.’’
Mr. Bennett invited Smith to
join him for Thanksgiving din-
ner with turkey and all the fix-
ings for American servicemen.
The pair got as far as the lobby of
the building the Army was using
as a mess hall.
‘‘This officer took out a razor
blade and cut my corporal
stripes off my uniform right then
and there,’’ Mr. Bennett wrote.
“He spit on them and threw
them on the floor, and said, ‘Get
your ass out of here!’’’
Mr. Bennett was reassigned
from Special Services to Graves
Registration, where he dug up
the bodies of American soldiers
killed in combat for reburial in
military cemeteries. The experi-
ence “was just as bad as it
sounds,’’ he recalled.
Fortunately, a friendly officer
pulled strings to get Mr. Bennett
back to singing in Europe. Soon,
he was performing on the radio
for American Forces Network.
Mr. Bennett never forgot
what he witnessed in World War
II. The memories led him to be-
come a civil rights activist. In
1965, his friend and singer Har-
ry Belafonte asked him to walk
in a civil rights march planned
by King in Selma. Mr. Bennett
accepted without hesitation.
‘‘I kept flashing back to a time
twenty years ago when my bud-
dies and I fought our way into
Germany,’’ he wrote. ‘‘It felt the
same way down in Selma: the
white state troopers were really
hostile, and they were not shy
about showing it.’’
He remembered being ‘‘terri-
fied by the violence,’’ but it only
confirmed his belief that no one
‘‘should suffer simply because of
the color of his skin.’’
“Goodnight, #TonyBennett,”
Bernice King, daughter of the
civil rights leader, said in a tweet
Friday. “Thank you for your com-
mitment to love, civil rights, and
a better world.”
women’s clothing store.
That started his love affair
with radio. As a teenager he
worked as a gofer at a station in
Binghamton, where one of the
announcers tutored him on his
diction. In 1950, after graduat-
ing high school, he got a job in
Corning, N.Y., as a sportscaster.
Fo r t h e n e x t d e c a d e h e
worked at stations in Alexan-
dria, La.; York, Pa.; Youngstown,
Ohio; and Buffalo.
After leaving Chicago in
1963, Mr. Biondi spent the next
half-century bouncing around.
He moved to KRLA in Los Ange-
les in 1963; hosted a nationally
syndicated show on Mutual Ra-
dio from 1964 until it was can-
celed in 1965; and then returned
to KRLA, where in 1965 he and
his fellow DJs, including Bob Eu-
banks and Casey Kasem, intro-
duced the Beatles at the Holly-
wood Bowl. He came back to
Chicago in 1967, at WCFL.
He later moved on to Cincin-
nati, Boston, and North Myrtle
Beach, S.C., before coming back
to Chicago for good in 1983,
most significantly as the host of
a show at a new oldies station,
WJMK-FM, for 21 years. He re-
turned to WLS from 2006 until
the station ended its association
with him in 2018.
His survivors include his
wife, Maribeth Biondi, and his
sister, Geraldine Wallace.

jobless rate
falls to a
record low
As workers left the
labor force, employers
continued to shed jobs
By Larry Edelman
GLOBE COLUMNIST

Thunk!
Massachusetts unemployment hit a re-
cord low of 2.6 percent in June as workers
continued to leave the labor force, the US
Labor Department reported Friday.
That’s lower than just before the start of
the pandemic in early 2020, when the job-
less rate declined to 2.7 percent. It’s also
lower than during the dot-com boom

Climate future is now

Dangers of global warming are taking on more immediacy
The world faces myriad existential threats
of varying likelihoods, from pandemics and
nuclear war to rogue artificial intelligence
and asteroid collisions.
But one peril has dominated the head-
lines the past two weeks: the overheating
planet. And it’s not being alarmist to say that
the dangers climate change poses seem
much more immediate than they did even
three months ago.
Weather normally isn’t a pressing busi-
ness topic — outside of farm country and
commodity markets, at least. But even Wall
Street couldn’t ignore that scorching temper-
atures around the world were setting up July
to be the hottest month on Earth since mod-
ern recordkeeping began in the 19th century.
“The World Bakes Under Extreme Heat”
was the most-read story on The Wall Street
Jo u r n a l ’s w e b s i t e w h e n I c h e c ke d o n
Wednesday afternoon. At the same time,
Bloomberg’s lead opinion column was “If You
Think It’s Hot Now, Just Wait a Couple of De-
cades.”
A day that screamed ‘milestone’
A snapshot from Wednesday: The temper-
ature in Phoenix rose to 119 degrees, a new
high for July, while Beijing broiled for a 28th
straight day with temps above 95 degrees, al-
so a record. The Mediterranean region melt-
ed under one of four heat domes parked
above the Earth.
“Nearly every facet of the climate system
is flashing red this summer, from record-low
sea ice extent in Antarctica to hot tub-like

TRENDLINES
ocean waters surrounding South Florida,
and all-time high temperature records set in
multiple countries on at least three conti-
nents,” is how Andrew Freedman of Axios
summed it up.
New England has been spared the ex-
treme heat, but deluges caused costly flood-
ing last week in Western Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, and Vermont, where one person
died. Five people died in a flash flood north
of Philadelphia.
The frequency and intensity of storms,
flooding, drought, deep freezes, and wildfires
have increased substantially over the past de-
cade. But it feels like we’ve entered a new
phase this summer, one of near constant ca-
lamities.
Climate change affects the economy in
big ways and small
The National Centers for Environmental
Information estimate that the United States
incurred more than $1.14 trillion in damages
from climate disasters in the past 10 years.
(It defines damage as “the costs in terms of
dollars that would not have been incurred
had the event not taken place.”)
But as Biden administration officials not-
ed in a March blog post, such tallies fail to
capture “the devastation from lives lost, the
toll on our health care, and the impacts on
American families and communities upend-
ed and displaced by increasing climate cri-
ses.”
In Hatfield, a small town not far from Am-
herst, the Smiarowski family farm lost 150
acres worth of potatoes — nearly 25 percent
of the crop— and faces damages that could
top $1 million after last week’s heavy floods.
“There’s nothing we can do,” Bernie Smi-
arowski told the Globe’s Brian MacQuarrie.
In California, drought, flooding, and a
single wildfire have inflicted up to $10 billion
in damage since the start of 2022, data from
the environmental information centers show.
There’s a consensus among scientists: The
increase in global temperature must be limit-
ed to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahren-
heit) to keep the planet livable, and that will
require fossil fuel emissions to be slashed by
45 percent by 2030 and to net zero by 2050.
Under one scenario, getting to net zero
would require capital spending by the US

leased two weeks ago, was 3.6 percent in
June. The gap between the state and nation-
al rates hasn’t been this wide since October
2016, excluding March 2020, the chaotic
first month of COVID.
The good news comes with caveats.
Massachusetts employers, like those in
the rest of the country, are slowing hiring as
higher interest rates cool off the economy.
Local employers shed 4,500 jobs in June, the
first decline since September. Since state
employment reports are prone to more sig-
nificant revisions than the national data, it’s
wise not to put too much stock in a single
month’s numbers.
The state is struggling to expand the pool
of available workers as baby boomers retire,
birth rates fall, and the US government
seeks to reduce illegal immigration. Employ-
ers are having a tough time finding qualified
workers, even as data through March sug-
gest fewer people are sitting out of the labor
market for reasons such as family responsi-
bilities, child care, or health concerns, than
at any time in the past five years.
The labor force — people with a job or
looking for one — declined by 7,300 workers
last month, and is down more than 125,000
since peaking in June 2019.
The labor force participation rate — the
percentage of adults in the labor force —
slipped in June to 64.6 percent, down from a
pre-pandemic level of 66.1 percent in Febru-
ary 2020. Among prime-age workers be-
tween 25-54, however, participation is now
above pre-pandemic levels, with a notable
spike among Black workers.
The graying of Massachusetts “will only
get worse in the coming years,” said Mark
Melnik, director of economic and public pol-
icy research at the UMass Donahue Insti-
tute. The institute projects that about one
quarter of the state’s population will be 65 or
older by 2050, up from 14 percent in 2010.
“This speaks to both potential labor
shortages in the future, as well as the kinds
of services our population will need in the
coming years,” he said.

Mass. backers on ‘right-to-repair’ not keen on deal
By Hiawatha Bray
GLOBE STAFF
Major automakers have reached
a deal with two auto repair trade
groups to provide independent me-
chanics with access to wireless digi-
tal data they need to fix the latest
cars. But backers of Massachusetts’
controversial automotive “right-to-
repair” law say the new arrange-
ment still gives carmakers too
much control over the vital data.
Repair shops usually plug into a
data port under the vehicle’s dash-
board to get diagnostic information
from the car’s computers. But a
growing number of vehicles use
telematic systems that allow this
data to be transmitted wirelessly
and in real time. Carmakers and
their dealers get full access to this
data, enabling them to identify po-
tential problems and notify the ve-
hicle’s owner about the need for re-
pairs. This gives them a competi-
tive advantage over independent
repair shops, who can see the data
only when the car is plugged in at
the shop.
So right-to-repair advocates
want car owners and independent
shops to get equal access to telem-
atic data. That way, said Tommy
Hickey, director of the Right to Re-
pair Coalition, car owners could
subscribe to a service that automat-
ically collected his car’s diagnostic
data and shared it with nearby re-
pair shops, which could bid on fix-
ing the problem at the lowest price.
Earlier this month, the Alliance
for Automotive Innovation, the car-
makers trade group, said it had
reached an understanding with the
Automotive Service Association
and the Society of Collision Repair
Specialists to resolve the issue. But
another major auto repair trade
group, the Auto Care Association,
has rejected the deal, calling it “a
thinly veiled attempt to confuse
lawmakers and drivers.”
Hickey, agreed. “We don’t think
it means anything,” said Hickey,
whose group led the campaign to
pass the Massachusetts Data Access
Law in 2020. “If you read the lan-
guage, it says we’ ll only give you
telematic information if it’s abso-
lutely necessary.”
If the car has the traditional da-
ta port found on virtually all cars,
Hickey said, carmakers would not
be obligated to provide wireless
telematic data as well, under the re-
cent agreement. Even when telem-
atic data is available, it would only
be provided to repair shops, and
only by requesting it from the car-
makers — leaving out consumers
who want to fix their own cars or
share the data with mechanics.
The Massachusetts law would
require carmakers to provide tele-
matic data on demand to consum-
ers and to the repair shops of their
choice using an independently op-
erated data network with no ties to
the auto manufacturers. The law
has been tied up in federal court ev-
er since it was passed by voters.
Carmakers claim that only the
federal government has the author-
ity to issue such a regulation, and
warn that the proposed indepen-
dent data network could pose ma-
jor cyber security problems.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration has echoed
both these arguments in public
statements on the Massachusetts
law.

hiawatha.bray@globe.com. Follow

“We need to invest in strategic and inten-
tional workforce development in a tight
labor market,” Lauren Jones, secretary of
Labor and Workforce Development, said in
a statement. “We are focused on local and
regional collaboration to support innovative
programs that provide meaningful career
pathways for the unemployed and underem-
ployed in Massachusetts.”
Jobs were lost in June in education and
health services, as well as in the other servic-
es segment, which includes repair and main-
tenance activities, dry cleaning, and laundry
services, among others. Gains were led by
the financial and professional, scientific,
and business services sectors.
Other states that set new unemployment
lows last month included Arkansas (2.6 per-
cent), Maryland (2 percent), Mississippi (3.1
percent), New Hampshire (1.8 percent),
Ohio (3.4 percent), Oklahoma (2.7 percent),
Pennsylvania (3.8 percent), and South Dako-
ta (1.8 percent). Nevada had the highest un-
employment rate at 5.4 percent.

Watertown firm Neumora’s depression drug shows promise in trial

Neumora, a privately held biotech company
based in Watertown, is moving into the final phase
of testing with a novel treatment for depression
that showed promise in a mid-stage trial.
The drug, a daily pill called navacaprant, led to
statistically significant improvements over placebo
on a measurement of disease severity for patients
with moderate to severe major depressive disor-
der, Neumora said. In the eight-week study, the
medicine also led to improvements in patient-re-
ported anhedonia, a reduced ability to experience
pleasure that often accompanies severe depres-
sion.
Damian Garde
STAT
Navacaprant’s statistically significant benefits
came from a pre-specified subset of 100 patients
in a study that enrolled 171 people. In the total
population, including 71 patients who had mild to
moderate disease, navacaprant’s effect on depres-
sive symptoms was numerically superior to place-
bo but did not reach the threshold of statistical
significance, missing the study’s primary end-
point.
“For me, the results from the subpopulation
were inspiring,” said Roger McIntyre, a professor
of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University
of Toronto who has consulted for Neumora
among other drug companies. “You’re getting an
effective antidepressant, but you’re also getting ef-
ficacy in the dimension of anhedonia, which is as
relevant to depression as pain is to a pain disor-
der.”
Neumora completed a requisite end-of-Phase 2
meeting with the Food and Drug Administration
in June. The next step is to recruit three Phase 3
studies, enrolling patients with moderate to severe
major depressive disorder. The first Phase 3 study
will begin in the third quarter of this year, Neumo-
ra said. The company expects to have enough to
make its case for FDA approval in 2025.
In the Phase 2 study, patients with moderate to
severe MDD taking navacaprant did about three
points better than those getting placebo on the
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, a commonly
used metric that ranges from zero to 52. After
eight weeks, their scores were nearly five points
better than the placebo group on a separate mea-
sure of anhedonia. Both results were statistically
significant.

HOROSCOPE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday,
July 22, 2023:
You are action oriented. You want
to make things happen; you want
to get things done. You value inde-
pendence and self-sufficiency. This
year is the last year of a nine-year
cycle, which means it’s time to let
go of people, places and posses-
sions that are holding you back.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Think twice before making deci-
sions, because you’re impulsive,
and today there’s an element of
confusion or indecision present. If
you make a quick decision with-
out thinking about it carefully, you
could have regrets later. Fore-
warned is forearmed. Tonight: So-
cialize.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Parents must be vigilant with
their kids, especially with water
hazards, poisons or contaminated
food. Keep your eyes open and
know where they are. This is a
poor day for romantic decisions.
In fact, because Venus is now ret-
rograde, it will be wise to post-
pone romantic decisions until
September. Tonight: Cocoon.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Your home routine will change
suddenly. Something unexpected
might happen, possibly the break-
down of a small appliance or sur-
prise company at your door. The
thing to know is that there is an
element of confusion, perhaps
even deceit, when dealing with
family members or authority fig-
ures. Be careful. Tonight: Conver-
sations.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You might spend time daydream-
ing. You also might feel confused
about something, deceived or mis-
led. Meanwhile, do be aware that
this is a mildly accident-prone day.
Give yourself extra time for what-
ever you’re doing, including com-
muting or travel. Delays are likely.
Tonight: Patience.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a fuzzy day for finances. It’s
a poor day to make an important
financial decision. Likewise, if
shopping, keep your receipts (and
the box). You are prone to impulse
shopping and spontaneous pur-
chases today, especially ones that
are elegant and luxurious! To-
night: Count your money.

dictable Uranus and opposite fuzzy

TV CRITIC’S CORNER LOVE LETTERS

BY MATTHEW GILBERT BY MEREDITH GOLDSTEIN

Should I make this breakup less ugly?

Q. I’m a 48-year-old woman dating a 50-
year-old man for two years. He’s a car-
ing, devoted, loyal, and funny man, and
we’ve shared many wonderful memo-
ries together. Despite the problem war-
ranting this letter, we’ve never doubted
our love and commitment to each oth-
er.
We’ve had our share of ups and
downs, mainly due to his excessive
drinking. These “downs” always result-
ed in him ghosting me for a period of
time, until I couldn’t stand it any longer
and reached out via text. He’d always
respond, and we’d be on our way again
as if nothing had happened. I’ve been
very clear how I feel about this behav-
ior, however. He will verbally state he
understands where I’m coming from,
but then repeats the pattern. He excus-
es his behavior by saying he has always
run away from his problems, and he
won’t be treated the way his ex-wife
TIFFANY HAGLER-GEARD/BLOOMBERG
treated him.
The cheapest way to join Netflix without ads is now $15.49 per month. Recently, he bought a townhouse

Netflix increases process. He ignored me all day. He ap-
peared to make a deliberate point of
ad-free price for not introducing me in one instance
all my belongings, including gifts I’d
given him, outside of my garage with
no attempt at communication.
I learned through mutual friends
that he’s saying “we broke up” or “he
dumped me,” depending on who he’s
talking to. He was always one for the
drama, and self-pity gets him. I see how
this is not a healthy relationship. I’ve
used the last month to process every-
thing that happened. I fluctuate from
feeling angry to feeling pity for him. I
see that it will take two people willing
to fix it to make it work. I’m not sure ei-
ther one of us has what it takes at this
point. We’re too old for this dance. But
the fact it ended ugly is what ultimately
gets to me. I would like to reach out just
to smooth things over so there’s not a
negative, ugly ending — but not to re-
unite. I know if we met in person, our
exchanges would be pleasant and we
could end on the same page. (We don’t
use social media.) Do you think I have
anything to lose by reaching out to
make this happen?
NOTHING TO LOSE
A. “I would like to reach out just to
smooth things over so there’s not a neg-
ative, ugly ending.”
The thing is, the ending is negative
too much (again) and dismissed you
without a conversation. I don’t think
you should have to do any extra work at
all. Your mutual friends can accept
that, I’m sure.
Maybe try sitting with the discom-
fort of this being a bad breakup. That
might help you get over it.
MEREDITH
READERS RESPOND:
The only thing you have to “lose” by
reaching out — which will lead to actu-
ally being face-to-face — is repeating
the pattern you’ve repeated for this en-
tire relationship.
HARRISBSTONE
The most sensible thing you said
was that this wasn’t a healthy relation-
ship. I don’t see any benefit to staying
in a relationship with an alcoholic who
will stop speaking to you until you do
the work to get back together. I think
this time, you should surprise him by
not calling and asking to meet up. If he
ever calls you (which seems unlikely)
you can be pleasant and wish him well
but say you don’t want to get back to-
