After years of watching Republicans dominate in down-ballot races, Democrats
turned the tables to their own advantage in
the midterm elections, flipping some legislative chambers from GOP control and blocking efforts to create veto-proof majorities in
others.
In Pennsylvania, where votes continued to
be counted, Democrats are on the precipice
of taking control of the state House for the
first time since 2008. Democrats also won

Democrats flip legislatures,
where GOP has long cemented
its policy agenda
Michigan’s House and Senate, as well as the
Minnesota Senate. The reelection victories
for Govs. Gretchen Whitmer (Mich.) and Tim
Walz (Minn.) give Democrats total control
over those two states — for the first time in
Michigan since after the 1982 election.
If the early results hold up in states where
some races remain undetermined, Demo-

crats will not have lost control of a single
legislature that they previously held, a feat
not accomplished by the president’s party
during a midterm election since 1934.
The victories blunted Republican plans to
push further restrictions on abortion, transgender rights, school curriculums and
spending, and in some states expanded Democrats’ possibilities of passing their own
priorities.
Among the newly elected in districts that
were key to the Democratic surge in Pennsylvania’s House was Tim Brennan, who preSEE MIDTERMS ON A10

As Trump takes heat, DeSantis seizes spotlight
As Republicans lashed out at Donald
Trump for elevating candidates who fell
short in key elections this past week, the
GOP’s big midterm winner, Ron DeSantis,
started consolidating support. Allies seized
on the moment to position the Florida
governor for 2024. “We have rewritten the
political map,” DeSantis declared on the

night of his resounding victory.
One operative unaffiliated with DeSantis’s campaign resurrected a super PAC
designed to boost a presidential bid, once
tabled in the belief that Trump’s march to
the GOP nomination would be unstoppable. An outside adviser to DeSantis recounted getting numerous calls from donors with the same message: “Ron needs to
run.”
Now, DeSantis’s landslide win in an

election year that left former president
Trump and other top Republicans politically wounded will probably accelerate the
governor’s decision-making about 2024,
according to the outside adviser, who like
others interviewed for this story spoke on
the condition of anonymity to share private
conversations.
DeSantis has emerged empowered from
midterms that delivered many GOP defeats

DNA yields suspect in family’s long-ago terror
Nearly 20 years after break-in nightmare, a detective knocks on the door: ‘I know who did it’
BY

D AN M ORSE

The family rarely spoke about the night
almost 20 years ago when armed strangers
burst into their Maryland apartment.
“Where’s the money?!” the men demanded.
Unable to get the answer they wanted, they
bound and gagged the dad in duct tape, beat
him, pressed a flame-heated knife to his neck
and poured bleach over the wounds. His wife
and children — 4 and 6 — were forced at
gunpoint into a back closet, where the older
child was told to translate a message into
Spanish to his mom: “If you scream, if you do
anything loud, I will kill your husband.”
The terror lasted three hours, as the three
intruders rifled through dresser drawers, cut
through sofa cushions and popped open a
ceiling vent — looking for cash that wasn’t
there. Then, just like that, the men slipped
away.
The family, to some extent, moved on as well.

MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Celebration is clouded
by grim reminders of
trauma, lost loved ones

kherson, ukraine — After
more than eight months of occupation, this weary city pulsed
with joy.
Scores of people flooded to
Kherson’s central square on Saturday afternoon, less than 24
hours after the last Russian soldiers fled, surrendering this regional capital in a stunning setback to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war goals. A boombox
blared techno music. Couples
kissed and strangers hugged.
Young men stood on top of cars,
waving Ukrainian flags.
“We are so happy, despite all
our struggles,” said Olga Malakh,
56, who was near tears as she
stood in the central square. “We
have lived through so much, but
we will rebuild.”
But for others here, their
struggles were too much to set
aside, and it was clear many were
just beginning to deal with the
trauma, including the deaths
and disappearances of loved
ones.
Lyubov Obozna’s 28-year-old
son, Dmytro, had been snatched
by Russian security agents on
Aug. 3 in front of his two young
children. More than three
months later, she still doesn’t
know his whereabouts though
she believes he is alive.
Amid the sea of happiness
around her, Obozna, 61, stood
ashen-faced, holding her 6-yearold grandson’s hand. “We don’t
know where he is,” she said.
Again and again, people
stepped out of the celebrating
crowd to say that a loved one was
missing, or that they themselves
had been detained, interrogated,
tortured.
After weeks of silence from
Kherson, where the occupying
Russian forces had cut off almost
all communication, people were
now starting to tell their stories.

Intelligence finds UAE
meddled in U.S. politics
Key gulf ally attempted to
steer U.S. foreign policy
in its favor, report says

Adalberto’s hands still bear the scars of being tortured inside his apartment in
2003 by three armed intruders looking for cash they wrongly believed he had.

Democrats were projected to
retain control of the Senate on
Saturday, clinching a narrow majority as they showed strength in
battleground races in a daunting
midterm year that handed President Biden a major victory as he
looks to his next two years in
office.
The final blow to Republican
hopes of retaking the chamber
came in Nevada, where on Saturday Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto
(D) was projected to win reelection, edging past Republican
Adam Laxalt, a former state attorney general. Cortez Masto’s projected win ensures Democrats a
50th seat, with a runoff election
still to come in Georgia on Dec. 6
that could pad their slim majority.
With 97 percent of the vote in,
Cortez Masto led by half a
percentage point.
Control of the House was still
up in the air on Saturday, as vote
counting continued days after an
election that started with Democrats expected to sustain heavy
losses, since midterm elections
have historically favored the party out of power. But Democrats
have held their ground and even
made some gains in many key
contests, leaving many Republicans unnerved. In winning back
control of the Senate, they dashed
GOP hopes of a full takeover on
Capitol Hill.
That’s welcome news for Biden,
who was staring down the possibility of humbling defeats as the
election neared. Now, the Senate,
which oversees the confirmation
of executive branch personnel
and federal judges, will stay in his
party’s corner. A Senate majority
will also give the president and
his party more say over legislative
debates on domestic and foreign
spending and other major issues.
“I feel good, and I’m looking
forward to the next couple years,”
Biden told reporters. He called
Cortez Masto and Senate Majority
Leader Charles E. Schumer
(D-N.Y.) to congratulate them
from Cambodia, where he is
attending a summit of Asian
nations, according to the White
House.
Schumer called the results a

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 GOP pays price at polls for tying itself to Trump Election Day has come and gone, and the counting continues without a definitive answer to the Dan Balz question of what the balance of THE SUNDAY TAKE power will look like in the coming two years. But a clear message has come through from the voters: a desire for stability at a time of unrest, a call for seriousness at a time it is needed. Whatever the final numbers show, 2022 will be remembered as an election that produced an incremental earthquake, an election of small shifts that added up to big surprises, an election in which the party that hopes to recapture the House emerges disappointed and more divided. Election 2022 was a dual referendum: on President Biden and the Democrats but also on former president Donald Trump and the Republicans. Trump has changed politics in many ways, and Republicans paid a price for it Tuesday. His presence has created an energized electorate. Since he was elected, huge voter turnouts have become the norm: a midterm record in 2018, a presidential-year record in 2020 and a near-record again this year. Midterm elections usually mean complacency among voters whose party just won the White House. In the age of Trump, every election is consequential, and both sides come highly motivated. For all the shouting and anger that has marked politics in recent years, voters were not in a “throw the bums out” mood. So far, only a handful of House members have lost their elections. The shifts have come more in open seats than in incumbent-held seats. No sitting senator has yet to be defeated, but the race in Georgia is headed for a runoff. Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D), who conceded to Republican Joe Lombardo on Friday, is an exception to this pattern. Republicans campaigned against what they described as a radical left-wing agenda by Biden and congressional Democrats. They counted on high inflation, concerns about disorder and Biden’s weak approval ratings to give them a sweeping victory and the chance to dramatically change the course of policy. The message from voters was hardly a mandate for a major course change. Fears of a Trumpian party in charge in Washington caused many voters to stand in the way and say go slow. For years, Republicans stressed the importance of the Supreme Court as a way to mobilize their base. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court became a liability for Republican candidates, an institution seen by many Democratic voters as able to take away rights for women and a symbol of Republican-controlled government. Abortion rights supporters — women and young voters in particular — turned out in droves. In August, red-state Kansas delivered the first warning to Republicans of the backlash against the Dobbs decision, with voters by overwhelming numbers saying they wanted to protect abortion rights in the state constitution. This month, Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly, seen as the party’s most vulnerable governor, won reelection by about 17,000 votes. Republicans failed to make significant gains in part because they failed to attract the voters who often make the biggest difference in midterm elections. Every time there has been a party shift in the House in recent midterm elections, independent voters played a decisive role in helping the winning side. This year independent voters split their voters almost evenly, 49 percent for Democratic House candidates and 47 percent for Republicans, according to exit polls from Edison Research. The Republicans’ failure to convert more of those independent voters to their side is a flashing yellow light that the voters who can make the difference between winning and losing aren’t calling for major change. Perhaps they worried about choosing a party in which a majority say they do not think Biden was legitimately elected. Trump saddled the party with weak candidates. With better candidates in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona, Republicans might have won control of the Senate. Instead, Democrats gained a seat in Pennsylvania and held both Arizona and Nevada. The victory in Nevada, where Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto was projected as the winner on Saturday night, gives Democrats the 50 seats needed to maintain control (with Vice President Harris’s tiebreaking vote); a victory in the Georgia runoff next month would give them 51 seats. The lack of an anti-incumbent mood brought split results in some states. One example is Wisconsin, which has weathered some of the sharpest partisan warfare in the country for the SARAH L. VOISIN/THE WASHINGTON POST The crowd at a pre-Election Day rally for Republican candidates last week outside Dayton, Ohio, cheers as former president Donald Trump says that he is going to make a big announcement on Nov. 15. past decade. On Tuesday, voters reelected Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, one of the least charismatic politicians in the country, and Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, one of the most controversial. In New Hampshire, voters reelected Republican Gov. Chris Sununu by 15 points and Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan by almost 10. Everyone has remarked on the huge reelection victory by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R): a 19-point margin over Charlie Crist. That eye-popping number put him in the spotlight as the strongest potential challenger to Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination — if both end up running. But Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who lost to Trump in the 2016 nomination battle, was also reelected by more than 16 points. The Florida Republican who had a bad night was Trump. DeSantis wasn’t the only incumbent governor who ran up the score. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) won by almost 26 points and probably helped to pull J.D. Vance, the party’s nominee for Senate, across the finish line in his race against Tim Ryan. In Michigan, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, once seen by some Republicans as vulnerable, demolished her challenger by 11 points. Now she is a national figure. In Colorado, Democratic Gov. Jared Polis won reelection by 17 points. Democrats also did well in state legislative races where it mattered most, holding all their legislative majorities while winning control of Republican chambers in a number of states. This too ran counter to midterm patterns. Democrats lost hundreds of legislative seats during the midterm elections of 2010 and 2014. This year, in Michigan, which conducted its legislative elections under fairer maps than the maps produced after the 2010 redistricting, Democrats captured both chambers. The same happened in Minnesota. In both states, Democrats now have full control of the government. In 2020, as voters were sending Biden to the White House and Trump to exile in Florida, Republicans made gains in the U.S. House of Representatives — an unusual pattern in a presidential election year. That left Democrats under the leadership of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with a slender majority. If Republicans end up in control of the House, they could have a margin as slim as the Democrats have had the past two years. Good luck to Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) — if he manages to win the speakership — in controlling his conference as skillfully as Pelosi has managed hers. The Senate was always up for grabs but some bullish Republicans were talking about the possibility of taking the majority with 52 or 53 seats. Now they are left to wonder how in a year like this Democrats might actually increase their numbers. On this as with much else, they will point to Trump. The House results remain the biggest surprise of the election, and they have caused much anguish inside the Republican Party. Even after Trump lost the White House in 2020, most GOP leaders concluded that they couldn’t win elections without his voters. That gave Trump power to meddle in elections, while drawing attention to himself as he falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen. The Democrats branded Republicans as the MAGA (Make America Great Again) party. Republicans went along with Trump for the sheer sake of winning power. Now they may conclude they cannot win decisively as long as he is a dominant influence. The calls to move on are growing louder. In today’s divided country, all presidents are polarizing, but Biden may not be all that frightening to voters. He certainly doesn’t engender the reactions that Trump did. At a time when nearly 3 in 4 voters said they were angry or dissatisfied with the way things are going, Biden’s party managed to deny Republicans overwhelming gains in the House and retain its Senate majority. One number in exit polls that has drawn considerable attention is that the 10 percent of voters who said they “somewhat disapprove” of Biden’s job performance still narrowly backed Democratic House candidates. In 2018, the cohort of voters who said they somewhat disapproved of Trump backed Democratic candidates by 29 points, a much stronger rebuke of the president’s party. The final chapters from the 2022 election are yet to be written. A Republican-controlled House, if that is the way it ends up, will mean significantly different priorities, investigations of the Biden administration and a changed governing climate in the capital. Legislatively, there could be gridlock along with some bipartisan agreements. Still, the big story of this election is the damage Trump has done and the price Republicans have paid for not standing up to him sooner. DI GEST TEXAS Two historic military planes collide at show Two historic military aircraft collided and crashed Saturday during an air show in Dallas, exploding into a ball of flames and sending black smoke billowing into the sky. It was not clear how many people were onboard the aircraft. Emergency crews raced to the crash scene at Dallas Executive Airport, about 10 miles from the city’s downtown. News footage from the scene showed crumpled wreckage of the planes in a grassy area inside the airport perimeter. Dallas FireRescue told the Dallas Morning News that there were no reported injuries among people on the ground. Officials would not say how many people were onboard the planes, but Hank Coates, president of the company that put on the air show, said one of the planes, a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, typically has a crew of four to five people. The other, a P-63 Kingcobra fighter plane, has a single pilot. No paying customers were on the aircraft, said Coates, of Commemorative Air Force, which also owned the planes. Their aircraft are flown by highly trained volunteers, often retired pilots, he said.

Jackson’s brother released from prison An 80-year-old half brother of the Rev. Jesse Jackson who was sentenced to life in prison more than 30 years ago after being convicted of hiring hit men has been released from prison, officials said. Noah Robinson Jr. was ordered set free last month over the objections of prosecutors by a federal judge who cited Robinson’s age, risks posed in prison by covid-19 and his deteriorating health. “Robinson was convicted of brutal crimes, but he is 80 years old and has now been in custody for almost 33 years,” U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer wrote. “That is a significant period for the purposes of punishment.” Robinson was set free under the First Step Act, a bipartisan bill signed into law in 2018 by President Donald Trump that is intended to encourage inmates to participate in programs aimed at reducing recidivism, eases mandatory minimum sentences, and gives judges more discretion in sentencing. Robinson, an Ivy Leagueeducated wealthy businessman, had been locked up since his arrest in 1989 on charges that he hired hit men from Chicago’s El Rukn street gang to kill a boyhood friend of his after the two got into a fistfight in South Carolina.

He often has five or more talks with Trump a day, advisers say. Boris Epshteyn’s loyalty to Trump pays o≠ as investigations deepen BY J OSH D AWSEY, J ACQUELINE A LEMANY AND I SAAC S TANLEY- B ECKER Few people speak to former president Donald Trump more these days than Boris Epshteyn. The pugilistic communications consultant often has five or more conversations with Trump a day, advisers say, with the former president sometimes interrupting meetings with prominent elected officials to take his calls. A lawyer by training who has also worked as an investment banker, Epshteyn, 40, has morphed into one of the most influential figures in Trump’s orbit, winning his ear on how to respond to investigations that have placed Trump in legal jeopardy unheard of for a former president. Epshteyn’s access and influence have frustrated some of the more experienced lawyers Trump has hired, because of what they see as his unnecessarily confrontational approach, his lack of relevant experience and the fact that Epshteyn’s own actions also have come under scrutiny in some of the probes, people familiar with the situation said. At the same time, Epshteyn is also dealing with the legal ramifications of his conduct outside of work. He is on probation, according to court records, after pleading guilty late last year to disorderly conduct and fighting during a late-night bar incident in Scottsdale, Ariz. — the second such arrest in Arizona in seven years. Epshteyn declined to answer questions on the record about those arrests, or any other topic, for this article. He earned Trump’s loyalty by aggressively pushing false claims about the 2020 presidential election and carrying out Trump’s post-election wishes in states Biden won, according to interviews with 13 people familiar with Trump’s inner circle, most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter. They said he elevated his rank on the legal team handling the Mar-a-Lago documents case by flattering Trump and feeding his taste for conflict — including presenting options to take a confrontational stance toward the Justice Department while other lawyers counseled a more collaborative approach. Federal campaign filings shows that Epshteyn has earned almost $1 million from Trumpaligned candidates — who hired him in part to sway the former president for political support, according to advisers on multiple campaigns. While Trump admires Epshteyn for his loyalty, work ethic and willingness to thrust himself into controversies on his behalf, other Trump advisers and lawyers say they fear he is a legal liability — a “sycophant,” one said, who has given Trump the kind of advice that has worsened situations. Just this past week, Trump filed a lawsuit in Florida against the New York attorney general — at Epshteyn’s urging and over protests from others on the legal team who considered it risky and frivolous, according to people familiar with the matter. In a statement, Trump called Epshteyn “a high energy person with tremendous drive and great intelligence. He takes heat, but he usually ends up being right, and I’m very comfortable with him.” Trump said Epshteyn was a “terrific student who went to one of the Top Tier Law Schools” and who “likes this crazy life, dealing with Radical Left Maniacs.” Eight current and former Trump advisers said Epshteyn’s ascent through the ranks was astonishing, especially given his lack of litigation experience, although Trump often acts based on political rather than legal considerations. Epshteyn’s makeshift office is the Palm Steakhouse in downtown Washington, where he cycles through meetings ringing up pricey tabs, people who know him say. He also is a regular at cigar bars. His trademark look is a three-piece suit. He drives a navy Bentley he purchased in 2020 and has told others he likes it because it has a big B on it — like Boris. “He was the guy you called for everything,” said former New York City Police commissioner Bernard Kerik, a longtime Trump ally who worked with Epshteyn to challenge the 2020 election results and described him as involved in all of Trump’s legal efforts — every lawsuit and every investigation. “His phone is constantly busy,” Kerik said. “He’s extremely loyal. I think the president trusts him.” In recent weeks, Epshteyn has told others that he has looked for a place near Palm Beach, where Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s winter residence and private club, is located. He has predicted Trump will be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee and said he wants to be involved in the campaign. Epshteyn is elated to be at the center of the action and to talk to Trump so often, those who have spoken to him say. He has joked with associates that the federal authorities may be listening to those calls but did not seem worried about it. “I’m doing great!” he told a concerned associate recently over lunch. Entering Trump world Epshteyn was born in Moscow and came to the United States as a child, growing up in New Jersey, according to public records. He became friends with Eric Trump in college. After Georgetown Law School, he worked for two law firms, then for a financial services firm in New York that was later shut down by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Epshteyn, who was not personally accused of wrongdoing, is now associated with a different financial firm. He has never tried a legal case, a point regularly made by some of Trump’s other advisers. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Epshteyn became a prominent supporter of Trump on television, defending behavior including the “Access Hollywood” tapes and attacks on Gold Star families even as many other Trump surrogates were sheepish about doing so. After the election, Epshteyn became an aide on the transition team and in the White House. But his tenure in was short — he lasted about two months in the White House and was abruptly moved from the transition to be communications director for the inaugural committee. Three Trump advisers, including one person with direct knowledge of the matter, said the White House exit came after issues gaining a security clearance and clashing with other White House aides. People close to Epshteyn said he was floated to be placed at other agencies — which did not happen. “His phone is constantly busy. He’s extremely loyal. I think the president trusts him.” Bernard Kerik, longtime Trump ally who worked with Epshteyn to challenge the 2020 election He found ways to stay involved: talking to Trump and other advisers, sitting in the lobby of the former president’s hotel and showing up for events at the White House. Epshteyn soon took to the airwaves with Sinclair Broadcast Group, doing a pro-Trump segment called “Bottom Line with Boris.” Trump often was shown clips and liked them. During Trump’s reelection campaign, Epshteyn took a more limited role, advisers said, doing TV hits, mingling at campaign headquarters, traveling to some events and handling some outreach to the Jewish community. Some of Trump’s aides were annoyed by what they saw as his harebrained ideas, former advisers said. “We tried to keep him out of the middle of it,” one top campaign official said. An election loss, and an opportunity In the chaotic days after President Biden’s election victory, many of Trump’s advisers wanted to run for the hills. Epshteyn saw an opening. He started showing up at campaign headquarters, often with Rudy Giuliani, campaign aides who were packing up said. Soon he became a key figure in the effort to overturn the election results, and a mainstay at the Willard Hotel suite that became known as the “command center” for that mission. Epshteyn worked closely with Giuliani and Kerik, as well as pro-Trump lawyer John Eastman and former White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, serving as a liaison to other conservative lawyers and Trump allies and as a self-described chief of staff to the team. Epshteyn, Eastman and Giuliani wrangled GOP lawmakers in swing states to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to decertify the results and send them back to the states — a legal strategy devised by Eastman that has been widely discredited but Epshteyn has continued to defend. “He was like a coordinator with an enormous Rolodex,” Kerik said, describing Trump calling Epshteyn late at night and early in the morning. “Legal, constitutional, when I was trying to get paid. If it wasn’t for Boris, I wouldn’t have gotten paid.” The scheme to create slates of pro-Trump electors from states Biden narrowly won and send them to Pence was carried out partially by Epshteyn, former Trump advisers say. Epshteyn told The Washington Post this year that he took part in conference calls with the campaign’s legal team, including Giuliani, to discuss elector participation as part of “an overall effort to send it back to the states.” That effort is now being investigated by the Justice Department. Epshteyn recently had his phone seized by federal agents as part of that probe. A federal subpoena that went to more than 100 people across the country this spring — including fake electors and state officials — sought phone and email communications with dozens of people involved in the effort, including Epshteyn. Epshteyn also had to testify recently before a Georgia grand jury investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results in that state. Trouble in Arizona When Trump wanted to overturn the election results in Arizona, he turned to Epshteyn, who decamped to the state for some time. Epshteyn worked alongside Christina Bobb, a former One America News anchor and proTrump lawyer, and others to push an array of initiatives, including an audit by a group called the Cyber Ninjas. He also met with lawmakers and urged House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) to pass a resolution that would allow voters to overturn election results. “I told him straight up, ‘This is a circus. I’m not going to do it,’ ” Bowers, who lost his seat after being opposed by Trump, said in an interview. “He just kept trying to talk me into it. I said, ‘You guys have been telling me you have the proof for a year, and then nothing. I need to see some real evidence.’ ” Epshteyn repeatedly identified himself as a member of Trump’s team, Bowers said, and mentioned that he was working with Mark Finchem, an Arizona House member who ran unsuccessfully for secretary of state. Bowers said Epshteyn sent him more than 100 pages of material, including memos from Eastman that Bowers rifled through and quickly dismissed. The Post reviewed the materials, which showed no evidence to justify overturning the election. Epshteyn’s willingness to champion such ideas became legendary among Trump’s advisers. As some of them emailed last year about an Arizona grassroots lobbying effort, one of the advisers suggested it might be illegal due to state lobbying laws, people who have seen the emails say. A second adviser jokingly wrote: “Let’s just do it and blame Boris!” While in Arizona last October, OUR 53RD YEAR IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA | CRYSTALBOUTIQUE.COM 2160 Crystal Plaza Arcade | 703.415.1400 | Mon - Sat 10 - 5 | Parking Validated Epshteyn was arrested at 1:45 a.m. at the Bottled Blonde bar in Scottsdale, according to court records. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and disturbance, while three other misdemeanor charges were dropped, the records show. Epshteyn was given a suspended sentence and a fine, placed on probation, ordered to avoid contact with his alleged victim and remanded to alcohol treatment. His probation ends this year. A spokesman for the police department did not respond to requests for comment, and the agency did not immediately provide the full police report to The Post. Epshteyn had been arrested in Arizona for a similar bar incident in 2014, court records show. In that case, charges were dropped after he agreed to get counseling for anger management and to complete community service. Success as a consultant Epshteyn’s political consultancy, Georgetown Advisory, has earned close to $1 million from federal candidates and other committees this cycle, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. His clients this cycle included Katie Britt, the Republican nominee for Senate in Alabama; Blake Masters, the Republican nominee for Senate in Arizona; and Eric Greitens, the scandal-plagued former Missouri governor who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for Senate in that state. Some of the candidates who paid Epshteyn did not ultimately run, such as cryptocurrency investor Brock Pierce who sent Epshteyn’s firm $100,000 before opting against entering the race for Senate in Vermont. Payments from Trump’s Save America PAC to Epshteyn total $165,000, according to federal filings. The PAC has been paying him since April. In August and September, what had been generally a monthly payment of $15,000 increased to $30,000. Before the 2016 cycle, when he worked for Trump’s first campaign, Epshteyn had never been paid by a federal client, though he advised on John McCain’s 2008 presidential bid. A contract Epshteyn signed with one campaign includes a $15,000 or $20,000 payment per month, plus an additional $75,000 if the candidate wins the primary, and an additional $150,000 if the candidate wins the general election, according to a copy reviewed by The Post. The contract says Epshteyn will provide “knowledge and assistance related to political strategy, national and local communications, and coalition building.” Epshteyn talked up his clients to Trump, sharing positive news articles and polling, according to Trump’s advisers, and the former president endorsed some of them. An aide on one campaign said they hired Epshteyn for just that purpose. Epshteyn was also able to help translate Trump and his advisers for his clients and would advise campaigns before they had meetings with him, one candidate said. Epshteyn connected the Masters campaign to Bobb, who hosted an event for the candidate in April where Trump called in, according to a person familiar with the activities. Mar-a-Lago tensions Initially, many of Epshteyn’s calls to Trump were about the 2020 election. But this year, as the controversy over classified documents located at Mar-a-Lago intensified, Trump grew furious with some of his lawyers who were urging him to return the material to the federal government. In spring, according to advisers, Trump gave Epshteyn a larger role in his legal defense team — akin to an in-house counsel. “He came in and started giving orders,” one person familiar with the matter said. Epshteyn helped bring in attorney Evan Corcoran, introducing him on a call with other Trump lawyers and recommending him to Trump, who hired him sight unseen, The Post has reported. Corcoran is now under scrutiny himself for how he responded to the subpoena this year from the Justice Department — a response that in part led to the Aug. 8 FBI raid of the former president’s property. Epshteyn has urged a pugilistic tone in court filings about the documents, has tried to shape public relations around those filings and has called Trump repeatedly throughout the day to talk strategy, other advisers say. That has frustrated the lawyers who actually sign the court filings, including Chris Kise, according to people who have spoken to the former Florida solicitor general. Kise, who Trump hired on a $3 million retainer this summer, has expressed concerns about Epshteyn’s advice to others. In a brief interview, Kise said that his relationship with Epshteyn was “good” and that they talk “frequently.” “We don’t always agree, but we have — from my perspective — a mutual respect for each other’s viewpoints,” he said. For his part, Epshteyn has questioned Kise to Trump repeatedly, people familiar with those conversations say. So far, Trump seems to be listening to Epshteyn. On Wednesday, there was sharp debate between Trump’s lawyers over whether to file a lengthy lawsuit in Florida court attacking New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) — a development first reported by the New York Times. Epshteyn wanted to go forward with the lawsuit. Some other Trump attorneys — including longtime Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten, who has battled with James in New York — vigorously argued against doing so, saying it could backfire, people familiar with the situation said. Garten declined to comment. Late Wednesday night, Trump filed the suit and Epshteyn touted it to the world, sending it to reporters and urging them to write about it. “Great job Boris,” Garten wrote in an email to others, including Epshteyn, according to people with knowledge of the email. “Another frivolous lawsuit. What a joke.” Epshteyn did not respond. Alice Crites contributed to this report.
A4 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST M2 . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Biden earns his first Bottomless Pinocchio — plus his other recent errors of fact President Biden is a self-described “gaffe machine.” That’s no excuse, of course, for a president making The Fact false or Checker misleading statements. GLENN Readers have KESSLER asked for fact checks of a variety of recent Biden statements, but none of them seemed big enough for a stand-alone fact check. So here’s a roundup of some of the president’s recent errors of fact, made as he has barnstormed the country boosting Democrats and raising contributions in advance of the midterm elections. We generally do not award Pinocchios for roundups like this — but for reasons that will become clear, we need to make an exception for the first one. “Folks, I spent a lot of time — more time with Xi Jinping than any other head of state. … I’ve traveled 17,000 miles with him.” — remarks at a political event in San Diego, Nov. 3 This is an old claim we had debunked shortly after Biden took office, giving him Three Pinocchios. There is no evidence Biden traveled that much with Xi, the president of China — and even if we added up the miles Biden flew to see Xi, it still did not total 17,000 miles. The White House could not offer an explanation for that number either. As far as we could tell, the only time Biden and Xi appear to have traveled together was in 2011, when they visited Qingchengshan High School in Dujiangyan, a distance of 50 miles from Chengdu, a city in Sichuan province. Biden, then vice president, and Xi, also vice president, met together over the course of three days in various settings, including a business dialogue in Chengdu. When Xi came to the United States a year later, Biden and Xi did not even follow a parallel route to Los Angeles. On Feb. 14, Biden and Xi gathered at the White House for meetings, including with President Barack Obama, had lunch at the State Department, conducted a business roundtable and finally had dinner at the vice president’s residence at the Naval Observatory. Xi then traveled elsewhere in the United States, including Iowa, before arriving in Los Angeles. Biden flew to Los Angeles to meet Xi there on Feb. 17; they had dinner, among other events. Biden returned to China in 2013, where he held another five hours of meetings with Xi. Biden also met Xi when he arrived in Washington on his first state visit as Chinese president in 2015. That’s certainly an impressive amount of face time with Xi. But Biden’s mileage number never added up, no matter how many different combinations of mileage figures we considered. Yet it’s noteworthy because, despite our fact check and a White House admission that Biden’s line of “traveling with” Xi was not accurate, with this comment, Biden had made the claim 20 times during his presidency. Biden is so fond of this bogus statistic that he even mentioned it during high-profile speeches such as a joint session of Congress and a commencement address. (He then said it a 21st time a few hours later, in another speech, with a slight twist: “ … when I traveled 17-, 18,000 miles with him.” And in his news conference on Wednesday after the midterm elections, referring to his planned meeting with Xi in Bali on Monday, the president yet again made this claim.) Why is this significant? Readers may recall that during Donald Trump’s presidency, we established a new category, the Bottomless Pinocchio, to account for false or misleading statements repeated so often that they became a form of propaganda. A statement would get added to the list if it had earned a Three or Four Pinocchios rating and been repeated at least 20 times. By the end of the Trump presidency, 56 claims made by Trump had qualified. Now Biden has earned his own Bottomless Pinocchio. “Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39 — down from over $5 when I took office.” — remarks at a community college in Syracuse, N.Y., Oct. 27 Many readers complained about his comment, given that average gas prices were about $2.48 the week Biden took office, according to the Energy Information Administration. Soaring gas prices over the course of Biden’s presidency have been a drag on his approval ratings. (The White House in fact has preferred to refer the “most common price,” which comes from the GasBuddy app and tends to be lower than the average price because California, with its super-high gas prices, raises the average.) Biden was basically correct on the “most common price” at the time he made this comment but appears to have misspoken about the price when he took office. Generally, his speeches have referenced prices over the summer, not when he took office, as that tells a better story. For instance, a few days later, on Oct. 31, Biden said: “In June, the average price — not the most common price, but the average price — nationwide was — was over $5 a gallon. Today, the average price for a gallon of gas is $3.76.” “On my watch, for the first time in 10 years, seniors are getting an increase in their Social Security checks.” — remarks at a community center in Hallandale Beach, Fla., Nov. 1 A version of this line ended up in a White House tweet that same day — “Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Biden’s leadership” — which officials deleted after Twitter labeled it as lacking context. The problem? The reason Social Security payments are going up is because Social Security benefits, under a law passed in 1972, are adjusted every year to keep pace with inflation. Next year, benefits will increase 8.7 percent — but that’s because inflation has soared at that level. Biden and the Federal Reserve have been trying to fight inflation, but without much success so far. “You are probably aware that I just signed a law that is being challenged by my Republican colleagues. … What we’ve provided for is, if you went to school, if you qualified for a Pell Grant … you qualify for $20,000 in debt forgiveness. Secondly, if you don’t have one of those loans, you just get $10,000 written off. It’s passed. I got it passed by a vote or two.” — remarks at a forum with NowThis, Oct. 23 In describing his plan for student loan forgiveness, Biden oddly said he had “just signed a law” that was approved in Congress by “a vote or two.” But he never presented such a proposal for Congress to consider. Instead, Biden relied on new authority granted by the Justice Department — a fresh interpretation of a law passed almost two decades ago, the 2003 Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act, often dubbed the Heroes Act. In a legal opinion, the Justice Department concluded that the law authorizes the education secretary to relieve borrowers of the obligation to repay federal student loans. Thus, the president could announce a plan to cancel student loans. Previously, the Trump and Biden administrations used the law to pause student loan payments as the coronavirus pandemic raged. But the Trump administration concluded that it could not use the law for cancellation or forgiveness of student loans. The Biden Justice Department arrived at the opposite interpretation. Ultimately, the issue will be settled in the courts. An appeals court has frozen Biden’s program in response to a lawsuit filed by Republican state attorneys general. The White House said Biden misspoke and meant to refer to the Inflation Reduction Act, a bill mostly focused on climate change and raising tax revenue. That law passed on a party-line vote, with a tiebreaking vote in the Senate cast by Vice President Harris. But the Inflation Reduction Act has nothing to do with student loans — and analysts have said that whatever deficit reduction is achieved by the law will be quickly exceeded by the cost of the student loan program, if it survives legal challenges. Nevada win keeps Democrats in control of Senate, dashing GOP’s ambitions SENATE FROM A1 their agenda, and said Republicans had turned off voters with extremism and “negativity,” including some candidates’ false insistence that the 2020 election had been stolen. “America showed that we believed in our democracy,” he told reporters in New York, while praising the quality of Democratic incumbents. Most national Republicans stayed silent on the projected result as of Saturday night, and the Laxalt campaign has not yet publicly acknowledged Cortez Masto’s projected win. Still, a few Republicans began to express their discontent as they faced at least another two years in the minority. “The old party is dead. Time to bury it. Build something new,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), tweeted shortly after the race was called. Shiree Verdone, a Republican fundraiser, said Saturday night that GOP donors and activists are distraught at the election’s outcome. “We have to examine what went wrong. There needs to be some kind of study of what happened in this election,” said Verdone, who held a fundraiser for Laxalt and acknowledged that Democrats know how to get out the vote in Nevada with the “Reid machine,” named for the late Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who in October was predicting as head of the Senate GOP campaign arm that his party would hold 53 to 55 seats, had not yet made a statement as of late Saturday night. Cortez Masto announced she would deliver a victory speech on Sunday. Democrat Cisco Aguilar was also projected to win Nevada’s secretary of state race, beating a Republican nominee, Jim Marchant, who sought oversight of Nevada’s elections while baselessly denying the results from 2020. Former president Donald Trump endorsed Marchant in the race. Democrats also were projected to pick up a House seat in Washington state held by Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who was ousted in a Republican primary after voting to impeach Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. In the Nevada Senate race, Cortez Masto’s win was part of a perfect record so far by incumbent senators seeking reelection in the midterms, as voters tilted strongly against upending the established order in the chamber. It was part of a strong showing by Democrats in battleground areas where Republicans fell short after emphasizing rising prices and concerns about crime during an era of one-party control in Washington. Republicans started the election needing to gain one seat to seize control of the Senate. Democrats flipped a seat in Pennsylvania and held on in several other states seen as vulnerable, running as protectors of abortion rights after the end of Roe v. Wade and MELINA MARA/THE WASHINGTON POST Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) was projected to win reelection Saturday night, handing Democrats a 50th seat and Senate control. Cortez Masto’s win is part of a perfect record so far for incumbent senators and a strong showing for Democrats in battleground areas. casting GOP rivals as extremists. One such state was Arizona, where Sen. Mark Kelly (D) was projected to win Friday night over Republican challenger Blake Masters. In Nevada, Laxalt sought to tie Cortez Masto to Biden while blaming inflation and crime on Democratic policies, pointing to a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill Cortez Masto helped pass during the height of the pandemic. Republicans predicted their economic message would be especially resonant in a working-class state with some of the highest inflation in the country. But both parties always expected the race to be decided by razor-thin margins, and Cortez Masto claimed a second term in a state the GOP long considered a top pickup opportunity. Cortez Masto, who is the first Latina elected to the Senate, made abortion access central to her campaign, warning that her opponent could help pass a federal abortion ban even as Nevada had guaranteed access to the procedure by popular vote. She also touted Democrats’ efforts to bring down costs, including the price of prescription drugs. Laxalt has said he would not support a national abortion ban, though he supports a referendum in the state to ban abortion after 13 weeks. During the general election, he spoke little about his role in fanning Trump’s false claims of election fraud, as Democrats attacked him on the issue. During a news conference earlier Saturday, Joe Gloria, the registrar in Clark County, was asked if any campaigns had expressed concerns about the counting process. “I don’t have anything to report there,” he said. Later, Gloria added that he has not heard “anything from any campaign” about allegations of fraud. The Senate has been evenly divided between the two parties during Biden’s presidency, with Vice President Harris empowered to cast tiebreaking votes. The fight for the majority was a focal point of the midterm campaign, with huge sums of cash flooding into key states. Inexperienced candidates elevated by Trump eased Democrats’ path in some important races, at times stumbling and giving Democrats more room to go on the attack. In Pennsylvania, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) defeated celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, a first-time Republican candidate boosted by the former president. Oz faced scrutiny over his popular TV show, which promoted questionable products; his longtime New Jersey residency; and instances Democrats used to paint him as an out-of-touch candidate, including his reference to raw vegetables as “crudite.” The Arizona race also featured a Trump-backed newcomer in Masters, whom Democrats branded as an extremist. They seized on comments he made about privatizing Social Security and his support for abortion restrictions, including a national 15-week ban. Democrats held off other challenges, stymieing Republican attempts to advance into Colorado, Washington state and New Hampshire. Republicans nominated more moderate candidates in the first two states but in New Hampshire, the GOP nominee was Don Bolduc, a far-right contender who embraced much of Trump’s platform and had claimed falsely that Trump won the 2020 election. Republicans kept control of open seats in North Carolina and Ohio and will be sending two new senators to the upper chamber from those states: Rep. Ted Budd and author J.D. Vance, respectively. In Wisconsin, Sen. Ron Johnson (R) narrowly won reelection in a competitive contest. In Georgia, Sen. Raphael G. Warnock (D) ran just slightly ahead of Republican nominee Herschel Walker, a former football player. But neither candidate met the 50 percent threshold required to avert a runoff. The two will face off again in a runoff next month. Both sides have been gearing up in the purple state. In Alaska, vote tallying continues under a new ranked-choice system. Republicans Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a target of Trump, and Kelly Tshibaka, a challenger backed by the former president, were in competition in that race. In total, Democrats were playing defense in the Senate in 14 states this midterm year — all of which were won by Biden in 2020. Republicans were playing defense in 21 states, including two where Biden won. One was Pennsylvania, so far the only flipped seat. Schumer praised the quality of the Democratic incumbents, and said they won in part because Republicans nominated “flawed” candidates. Sen. Gary Peters (DMich.), the chair of the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, said in a statement that the victories represented a “resounding endorsement of Democrats’ Senate majority” and “a rejection of the extremism espoused by the GOP.” The losses have stirred discontent among Republicans in the Senate, and at least six of them have pushed for this week’s leadership elections to be delayed in a challenge to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s leadership. The Senate Leadership Fund, an outside group closely associated with McConnell (R-Ky.), spent more than $230 million this cycle backing Republicans in races across the country. Without directly criticizing Trump, McConnell lamented before the election that “candidate quality” issues made it harder for Republicans to flip the Senate than the House. Since several Trump-backed Senate candidates have lost, Trump and his allies have attempted to turn the blame around on McConnell, criticizing him for not spending more in Arizona to back Masters and other decisions.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ A5 RE Midterm Elections In Nevada, a last-ditch verification e≠ort to make sure every vote counts BY R OBERT K LEMKO henderson, nev. — Ozzy Os- bourne’s “Crazy Train” played on the radio as Jack and Sally Leonard embarked on a mission to squeeze every last Democratic vote out of Clark County, Nev. Election Day passed days ago. But with the vote count revealing a tight race between Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican Adam Laxalt on Friday morning, with control of the Senate on the line, thousands of ballots with minor defects could still be fixed and counted. So the Leonards, motivated by their concern for the future of the country, went out to do some curing. “I fear for democracy,” said Sally, 71. “We have family members that are …” “Radical,” Jack, 74, interjected. “Radical,” Sally agreed. “And by that I mean, they’re okay with the lies that are being told.” When Nevada enacted universal mail balloting last year after turning to mailed ballots in 2020 as a pandemic solution, the law required verification using signatures provided during voter registration. If signatures on mailed-in ballots don’t match those signatures, or there’s no signature at all, the ballots need to be verified, or “cured.” As absentee balloting becomes more common nationwide, the effect has been to draw out the election process, with volunteers knocking on doors not only before the election — but in the days after, as well. Vote curing is an option in 24 states, eight of which conduct universal mail balloting, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Deadlines to cure range from the day before Election Day to 21 days after. In states with longer windows to cure ballots, like Nevada, political groups with voter turnout ground-game infrastructure also help voters cure their ballots in the days after an election. The effort could be decisive in especially close races. In Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, Republican firebrand Lauren Boebert held a narrow lead of just over 1,100 votes against Democrat Adam Frisch on Saturday. But between 3,000 and 4,000 ballots had been flagged for curing. With Democrats enjoying an overall advantage in mail-in ballots, the scramble to contact voters and cure the ballots before the deadline on Wednesday could boost Frisch’s numbers. Nevadans have until Monday to cure ballots, which is part of the reason for a protracted vote-tallying process that was continuing Saturday and was expected to extend into the week. In Clark County, home to Las Vegas, officials sent letters and made phone calls to thousands of voters with verification issues on their ballots. Joe Gloria, Clark County’s registrar of voters, said that as of Saturday there were 14,651 uncured ballots in the county, of which 7,139 remain unresolved. With so much at stake, political parties and advocacy groups have launched their own efforts to spread the word and get ballots fixed. Door-to-door efforts to cure ballots have typically been a liberal undertaking in Nevada, though numerous groups take on the challenge. In 2020, Republicans may have left votes on the table: There were 2,887 uncured ballots statewide, according to the Nevada secretary of state’s office, about a third of which were from Republicans and a quarter from Democrats. Nationally, former president Donald Trump and other Republican leaders have encouraged voters to avoid mail voting in favor of voting in person on Election Day, while lobbing unsubstantiated accusations about fraud tainting the absentee vote. It is unknown how the rhetoric affected turnout in Nevada; the partisan breakdown for the states’s mailed ballots will not be available until the coming week. But Democrats appear to believe they have something to gain through aggressive cure efforts. Enter white-bearded Jack Leonard, in his Wild Bill T-shirt, cargo shorts and Skechers slipons. He had voted for politicians from either party until Trump’s arrival. The Republican’s rhetoric turned him off. As Sally fumbled with the GPS on her phone, the couple crisscrossed southern Las Vegas and the suburb of Henderson in their red SUV. They knocked on door after door, using as their guide a list provided by the party-backed Nevada Democratic Victory. With an app provided by the organization, they checked off 20 houses Friday morning. At one residence, they let a voter’s husband know she ought to take care of her uncured ballot as soon as possible. At unanswered doors, they left behind a pamphlet headlined “YOUR BALLOT WILL BE REJECTED!” with instructions on how to remedy ballots by phone, email or in person. The couple might have stayed at home on Friday, but Supreme Court decisions this year, including the court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade, ushered in a sense of urgency, they said. Nevada Democratic Victory declined to share details about the extent of its curing efforts or its process. The state GOP does not advertise volunteer opportunities related to curing on its website and did not respond to a request for comment. The state’s Culinary Union said it is running the largest signature-curing effort statewide; 200 canvassers began curing efforts on Wednesday and will continue through the weekend, the organization said. “People are really grateful we are letting them know and helping them have their vote counted,” union spokesperson Bethany Khan said. The Leonards mostly got no response, speaking to only three people in person. “We tried,” Jack said, shuffling into the driver’s seat. Said Sally: “That’s all we can do.” Amy Gardner in Washington contributed to this report.

The governor’s nearly 20-point reelection victory has placed him in a stronger position than ever to seek the presidency and potentially challenge Trump’s dominance in the party, according to some GOP strategists, donors and officials. Many are suddenly giving him a closer look as a possible presidential hopeful. “He’s just built up this incredible energy and winning streak,” said Eric Anton, a GOP donor from New York who said he thinks DeSantis would have been “crushed” by Trump a few months ago. “He’s number two ...” Anton said, before correcting himself. “He’s either number one, two or three in the party. He played it perfectly.” DeSantis’s campaign declined to comment for this story. At a debate last month against Democratic rival Charlie Crist, the governor sidestepped a question about whether he would commit to serving a full second term. At DeSantis’s victory party Tuesday night, a chant broke out suggesting he look beyond the governor’s office: “Two more years! Two more years!” “While our country flounders due to failed leadership in Washington, Florida is on the right track,” DeSantis said in his speech. Should he decide to run for president, DeSantis could face numerous challenges. He is still relatively untested on the national stage. He hails from a onetime swing state that has moved right and in some ways does not mirror the rest of the country. And he has already attracted the ire of Trump, who has leveled devastating attacks against rivals who have yet to fully recover politically from his broadsides and demeaning nicknames years after he launched them. While Trump went after DeSantis earlier this fall, sharing an article that suggested it would be risky for the governor to challenge him, the former president attacked DeSantis like never before as the governor’s stock rose in recent days — calling him disloyal and “just average” in a stream of social media posts and using a derisive nickname he debuted just before the election, “Ron DeSanctimonious.” A spokesman for Trump did not respond to a request for comment Saturday. Trump has strongly hinted he will announce another White House bid in the coming days, though allies have urged him to delay amid fears he could hurt the GOP’s chances in a December runoff for a Senate seat in Georgia. The former president retains huge support among the GOP base, and it’s unclear whether Republican dismay over the election will translate into sustained backlash. But publicly and privately since Tuesday, many Republicans — including some longtime Trump allies — have suggested the party needs a new leader. The GOP field for 2024 could be crowded — many current and former Republican leaders have signaled interest in running, touring early primary states and swing-state battlegrounds. With national name recognition, appeal to many Trump voters and a big war chest left over from his reelection campaign, DeSantis is well positioned to take the spotlight, many said. Polling by YouGov right after the election found that Republicans and GOP-leaning independents preferred DeSantis to Trump as a 2024 candidate, a reversal from their findings about a month ago. John Thomas, a Republican strategist who is organizing the super PAC to boost DeSantis, said that since the election Tuesday he’s gotten a new surge of donors and volunteers, including from Republicans who several months ago appeared to be on the “Trump train” and now are “sick of it.” Many untested Republican candidates who Trump helped hoist to victory in GOP primaries lost in the general election. “We’ve got to do something differently,” said Thomas. A person in touch with DeSantis’s team said an apparatus of consultants who could run a presidential bid is “in place, if DeSantis decides to take the next steps” toward running. DeSantis also has roughly $70 million left over from the massive haul he raised for reelection, according THOMAS SIMONETTI FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) greets supporters following a speech at a “Unite and Win” rally in Clearwater, Fla., on Nov. 5. to another person in contact with the governor’s team. Should DeSantis transfer the money into a super PAC — a kind of committee required to operate independently of any possible presidential campaign — that could nonetheless provoke complaints before the Federal Election Commission. The federal regulator, however, has not taken an aggressive approach to enforcement in recent years. Its members, who are divided evenly between Democrats and Republicans, increasingly deadlock on key questions. DeSantis, 44, was elected governor in 2018 while leaning into his alignment with Trump. But he has built his own political brand in what he calls the “free state of Florida,” rejecting coronavirus restrictions and denouncing “wokeness” in the media, big companies and schools. Some think DeSantis’s decisive victory has bought him time to ponder his next move. “I have always thought after Nov. 8, if he secured 55 to 60 percent of the vote, that would be a potential launching pad for his presidential ambitions,” said Anthony Verdugo, the executive director of Christian Family Coalition Florida. “And certainly, the stars are aligning, and everything seems to be falling into place.” Christina Pushaw, a staffer with DeSantis’s campaign, noted on social media that the governor’s reelection margins were wider than the current margin of victory for another potential 2024 contender — Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, who has positioned himself as DeSantis’s combative bluestate foil. DeSantis carried Miami-Dade County by 11 points, becoming the first Republican candidate for governor in 20 years to win a county where Latinos make up 69 percent of the population. In an bigger shock for beleaguered Democrats, DeSantis narrowly carried Palm Beach County, which had been a key pillar of support for Democrats, and he flipped the counties that include both Jacksonville and Tampa. In January, Florida Republicans will control every statewide office for the first time in more than 100 years — which some attribute in part to DeSantis’s coattails. “He is running toward the fights, and not away,” said Christian Ziegler, a GOP strategist who is also vice-chairman of the Florida Republican Party, adding, “across the country, there is that tone that people want to see someone who can get the job done, and fight for them.” Still, some Democrats said they are not fearful of facing DeSantis in a national campaign. Joshua Karp, a Washingtonbased Democratic strategist who advised both Crist and Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) in her Senate race, predicted DeSantis would “get eaten alive” in a competitive GOP primary. “Presidential politics is littered with governors who got lucky in their home state politics, ran a few smart plays, but weren’t prepared when they got hit with other talent from out of state,” said Karp. When DeSantis might announce a presidential bid, if he goes ahead, is unclear. Some supporters and strategists predicted he would wait until Florida’s legislative session, where GOP supermajorities pave the way for DeSantis to enact his agenda and pursue policies popular with the party base. As Trump escalated his tirades against DeSantis after the election, the outside adviser to DeSantis said the governor “is not going to take the bait,” was not interested in a public fight and was focused on responding to a hurricane after the election as Trump raged online. Hurricane Nicole made landfall just south of Vero Beach early Thursday morning, flooding parts of the coastline while knocking out power to more than 200,000 homes and businesses. Thomas said his plans for the pro-DeSantis super PAC project went on pause this summer after the GOP rallied around Trump amid an FBI investigation into his handling of classified documents. Trump seemed increasingly likely to run, Thomas said, and going head-to-head with him seemed more risky. Tuesday changed the calculus — even as Thomas anticipates DeSantis might avoid directly criticizing Trump in a matchup. “If DeSantis doesn’t have the desire to lay out the contrast between [him] and Trump as this primary evolves, we’re going to be there … we’ll rip the bark off of Trump if we have to,” he said. “And that’s coming from somebody who’s very proTrump.” Craig Robinson, a prominent conservative blogger in all-important Iowa, said he’d still put his money on Trump for GOP nominee in 2024. “He’s Donald Trump,” said Robinson. “He’s bigger than life. You saw what Trump did to 16 candidates the last time. It's not easy. He’s a bulldog.” “We’re still in the honeymoon glow of his reelection,” he said of DeSantis, “but I think there’s some really tough decisions to be made.” Interviews with GOP strategists, activists, elected officials, donors and voters showed considerable hesitancy about backing either Trump or DeSantis in a potential matchup. Don Tapia, a GOP donor and former member of the Trump administration who is invited to Trump’s “big announcement” at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, said he knew who would get his vote in a contested primary — but declined to give a name. He did criticize Trump’s public broadsides against DeSantis and said he believes Trump’s endorsements hurt the party Tuesday. “This election we had more solid issues than we have had in the past 20 years,” Tapia said. “And look at the results. Look at the results.” One national Republican fundraiser long loyal to Trump blamed a “Trump factor” for the GOP’s dismal showing Tuesday and said the election — and Trump’s attacks on DeSantis and another potential 2024 rival, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) — had finally repelled them. This person said they would be “all in” for DeSantis. Others have aired their concerns with Trump publicly. In Virginia, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R), a former Trump booster, suggested he had become “a liability to the mission.” Mike Pompeo, a former secretary of state under Trump and potential 2024 contender, tweeted that conservatives are elected “when we deliver” rather than “rail on social media.” On the west coast of Florida, GOP activist Cindy Spray said she is “just going to wait to see where the cards fall” before she thinks about the presidential race. She says she would be torn between Trump and DeSantis and suspects GOP voters may be ready for a presidential nominee who doesn’t “come across as harsh.” “It’s not about what you say, it’s how you say it,” Spray said. “I think people want to hear a positive message and stop the negativity.” Isaac Stanley-Becker contributed to this report.

A8 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST SU . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Midterm Elections ‘Election Month’: Why Arizona is still counting its votes In Maricopa County, about 80 percent of voters requested early ballots Y VONNE W INGETT S ANCHEZ AND R EIS T HEBAULT BY phoenix — In Arizona, there is no “Election Day.” Locals know it as “Election Month,” a weeks-long political extravaganza that begins in October and extends through the middle of November as election workers slog through hundreds of thousands of early ballots tucked inside green and white envelopes. In Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, the vote counting unfolds inside a gargantuan downtown building resembling a warehouse. Security officers monitor who comes and goes, and workers wearing blue latex gloves furiously sort ballot envelopes while ’80s pop and ’90s hip-hop blares. A track recently in rotation: Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It.” Nearby, through a maze of corridors and walls plastered with maps of the second-largest voting jurisdiction in the country, a lobby that does not usually see a lot of action is now the nerve center of American politics. Television crews relay news about a complicated vote-counting process from this newly branded swing state to audiences around the world. So many reporters pack inside that there are not enough chairs. Some bring their own, while others plop onto the floor. The attention is unprecedented in this county, which in 2020 was central to attempts by Donald Trump and his supporters to overturn the former president’s loss. Anticipating a maelstrom during the 2022 election, the county’s governing board and election officials worked for months to try to set public expectations for how the November results would roll out. Even in the best scenarios, they JOSHUA LOTT/THE WASHINGTON POST Election workers process ballots at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center in Phoenix on Thursday. As of Saturday night, according to county officials, roughly 88 percent of the nearly 1.3 million votes cast had been counted. repeatedly said, it could take as many as 12 days to finish counting ballots. It is a time frame familiar to anyone who has worked in and around politics here but one that many Republican candidates and party activists have cast as suspicious and unacceptable. At a time when Maricopa County needed a near-perfect election, some printers used to produce ballots on-demand failed at about a third of polling locations on Election Day. The problems caused delays and fueled a viral spread of misinformation and accusations of malfeasance. Local leaders have noted the vote-counting operation has not changed. But the nature of its politics has. The fast-growing and diversifying Maricopa County has turned from deep red to purple, making statewide contests more competitive than ever. “Here is the issue. We have so many close races that everyone is still paying attention to Maricopa County,” Bill Gates, the GOP chair of the Maricopa County governing board, told reporters packed into the lobby this past week. “Those other states, like Florida, those races were blowouts, no one is paying attention.” It is not a criticism, he said, but “this is how we do things in Maricopa County. We follow the law. These are the laws that were put in place by the state legislature.” At a Friday news conference, Gates was direct and occasionally exasperated as he answered re- peated questions about the longstanding practices in the state. “For folks who have followed Arizona politics for many years, this is very, very common,” Gates said. “I know people are very anxious to get the results, but there is nothing out of the ordinary here.” Why does it take so long to count votes in Maricopa County? Two words: Early. Voting. It has been offered for decades, and it is popular. In Maricopa County, about 80 percent of voters asked for early ballots that can be mailed, put in secure drop boxes, or handed in at polling locations on Election Day. Given that this is the fourth-largest county in the nation by population, that adds up to a lot of ballots. When ballots arrive downtown, the work begins in a process that includes matching signatures on envelopes with signature samples on file. The ballots zip over to bipartisan teams that remove them from envelopes and then send them to tabulation. Video cameras transmit feeds that voters can watch online. In recent years, Trump, other Republican candidates and activists attacked the early voting system and instructed supporters to vote in person or to drop off their ballots on Election Day. Voters listened. This year 290,000 people returned their early ballots at polling locations on Election Day instead of returning them earlier, a 70 percent increase from the last record in 2020. Those ballots had to be transported to downtown Phoenix from across the county, and election workers could not begin processing them until after Election Day. While the holdup is routine, it has provided fodder for those on the right, including Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake, who once covered state politics as a local television anchor, to accuse the county of malfeasance or incompetence. Those claims have been fanned by a right-wing media ecosystem eager to seize on anything that seems out of the ordinary. “To see national networks out there and their hosts not being truthful about why it is taking this period of time, that is frustrating to these people back here, who are doing an incredible job working through Veterans Day weekend,” Gates said Friday, gesturing to election workers behind him. “We are doing things the right way. And I appreciate that you are all here, but we are not doing anything wrong at all. And that someone from here would suggest that we are doing something wrong, that is frustrating.” How many votes are left to count in Arizona? Maricopa County residents cast nearly 1.3 million votes in this election, and nearly 88 percent had been counted as of Saturday night, according to county officials. Of the ballots left to count, Gates said most are early ballots that were dropped off on Election Day. Election workers were pulling 14- to 18hour days through the federal holiday and over the weekend. When will counting be done in Maricopa County? Officials said they expect to have 95 percent to 99 percent of votes counted by early this week, perhaps as soon as Tuesday. However, depending on the breakdown of the results released before then, races could be called earlier.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ A9 SU Midterm Elections What is the status of the key races? Senate: Sen. Mark Kelly (D) was projected Friday to win reelection over Republican challenger Blake Masters, a venture capitalist. Kelly led by nearly six points with nearly 88 percent of ballots counted late Saturday. Arizona governor: This race is still tight. With 88 percent of votes counted as of Saturday night, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) was leading with 51 percent of the vote over Lake, who had 49 percent. “This is how we do things in Maricopa County. We follow the law.” Bill Gates (R), Maricopa Board of Supervisors chairman, on his county’s ballot tabulation Arizona secretary of state: Democrat Adrian Fontes was projected to win Friday, defeating Republican Mark Finchem, a farright state lawmaker who sought oversight of Arizona elections while groundlessly pushing to decertify the results from 2020. What other Arizona races were decided after protracted vote counts? It typically takes 10 to 12 days to finish counting all ballots, said Fields Moseley, the Maricopa County communications director. Here are some recent examples. l 2020: Nine days for most outlets to declare Joe Biden the winner. The last presidential election was the highest-profile race in Arizona history, and the incredibly narrow margins divided election analysts. Late on Election Day in 2020, with about 75 percent of ballots counted, Fox News called the race for Biden. The Associated Press did the same hours later. But many other major outlets refrained and vote counting continued for over a week until many analysts confirmed the early calls the following Thursday. In Maricopa County, officials did not finish counting all 2.1 million ballots cast in the Nov. 3 election until the afternoon of Nov. 13. l 2018: Six days to declare Kyrsten Sinema the winner. The last midterm election solidified the new status of Arizona as a battleground state, and Democrat Kyrsten Sinema was declared the winner the Monday following Election Day, some six days after many voters cast their ballots. By the time the race was called, the Arizona Republic estimated, some 170,000 votes, most- JOSHUA LOTT/THE WASHINGTON POST Maricopa Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates (R) speaks during a news conference at the county’s election center Thursday. He said election employees were working long shifts over the Veterans Day weekend to get votes counted. ly from Maricopa and Pima counties, were still being tallied. The race was one of the most closely watched in the nation, and while outside observers agonized over the length of the count, the Republican nominee, Martha McSally, did not question the results and quickly congratulated Sinema on her victory. As Sinema gained on McSally during the ballot counting, Trump said that votes had “appeared out of the wilderness” for the Democrat, a sentiment that took hold among his supporters. the protracted Arizona count was never in the national spotlight. In the end, it took Maricopa County officials 10 days to finish counting ballots. There is precedent in Arizona for especially close and contentious races to drag on for weeks. In 2014, residents of the 2nd District in southeast Arizona had to wait until December to find out who would represent them in the House. McSally won by the paperthin margin of 167 votes after a recount and lengthy legal battles. printed ballots for voters that could not be immediately processed by vote-counting machines, causing chaos and confusion. Voters were told they could wait for a fix, cast a ballot at a different location or put their completed ballot in a secure drop box to be counted later. About 17,000 ballots were submitted this way, more than usual, although county officials insist the extra counting is not slowing them down. Operatives for both political parties say those ballots could decide the winners of tight contests. The Associated Press projected the state for Trump two days after Election Day, but he had already secured the presidency, meaning Did printer problems slow down the count? On Election Day, dozens of polling places across the county What caused those problems? County officials say they do not know.

Tuesday and had been used during the August primary election and the 2020 election with the same settings without problems. Election teams are retrieving the printers from voting locations. A Maricopa County spokesperson said all of the printers will be investigated after the counting process takes place. It is unclear who will run that investigation and when it will begin. Arizona Republicans are pushing for changes. Would those speed up counting? It depends. Some Republicans could support an earlier deadline for returning early ballots, an idea that could maintain a lengthy early voting system while also giving election workers time on the front end to collect and process ballots. But other Republicans, including Lake, want “one-day voting,” which would require people to cast their ballots in assigned precincts. The current system here lets people vote at any location. Lake has also said ballots should be counted by hand rather than by tabulation machines. The proposed changes would “create tremendous logistical challenges,” said Richard Herrera, an emeritus professor of political science at Arizona State University. The overhaul would require expanding the number of polling places and dramatically increasing the number of staffers. “There was difficulty this election in having enough poll workers,” Herrera said. “Imagine if you had to increase that more than tenfold. That is a tremendous number of polling locations to staff.” Election experts say handcounting ballots is less accurate than the tabulators. “There is no fatigue involved, no eyestrain involved, just a machine,” Herrera said. Earlier this year, Lake and Finchem, the Republican nominee for secretary of state, failed to persuade a federal judge to do away with vote-counting machines. Testifying as part of that legal fight, Maricopa County election director Scott Jarrett said 25,000 temporary employees would have to be hired and 2 million square feet of space would be needed, possibly as large as a sports stadium. Jarrett noted at the time that the county was struggling to hire 3,000 temporary staff for the August primary election. Hannah Knowles and Isaac StanleyBecker contributed to this report.

A10 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST SU . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Midterm Elections Liberal outrage helps Democrats flip power at state level MIDTERMS FROM A1 vailed by 5,000 votes against a Republican opponent who had worked for state legislators who opposed abortion rights and supported voting restrictions. Brennan, 45, who lives in Bucks County, a Philadelphia suburb, had run unsuccessfully in 2018 and lost in the primary by 55 votes. After the 2020 election, he served as an attorney for a county where Donald Trump challenged the results. He credited his win Tuesday to the 10,000 doors he personally knocked, out of 40,000 by his campaign, and voters splitting their tickets because of an aversion to extremist Republican candidates, especially GOP gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano. “People told me they want functional government. They were upset with the top of the ticket in Republican races. They were upset with election denials and the loss of choice,” Brennan said, attributing Democratic success to “talking about functional government and not going down these rabbit holes.” Brennan was excited by the prospect of a Democratic House with the leverage to press Senate Republicans to moderate on abortion, education and other issues. “Being there and having your voice heard is one thing, but being part of the majority and having a chance to make policy is something I’m really looking forward to,” he said. With some states still counting, Republicans control both chambers of 26 state legislatures, down from 30 before the election. Democrats fully control 19, up from 17 before Tuesday. “A couple of legislative races won by a few votes means the difference between some of the most draconian abortion laws passing, restrictions on elections, stopping a gutting of a state’s ability to protect people from polluters,” said Daniel Squadron, a former state senator from New York and founder of the super PAC the States Project, which helped finance some of the races. The Democratic victories appeared to have been fueled by a wave of liberal outrage at the Supreme Court ruling that returned the power to determine abortion rights to state capitals and the Trump-led effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. At polling places across the nation Tuesday, voters expressed frustration at the soaring cost of living but also indicated their biggest fear was government extremism in the right. For Matt Kroski, 43, who dislikes both major parties, Tuesday was about voting against candidates more than anything else — and these days, he said outside a Phoenix polling station, Republicans scare him the most. “I’m looking for people who are more in tune with the public, and more in tune with what’s right for people, rather than what’s right for their pocketbooks,” he said. In Grand Rapids, Cody Canfield, 30, a self-described independent who leans Democratic, said his vote was driven largely by his support of the successful referendum to enshrine reproductive rights in Michigan’s constitution. “I have a girlfriend who I’m going to marry, and I don’t need her life in danger just because somebody says so,” he said. “It scares her to have that right taken away from her.” The party’s unexpected legislative successes came after a new, laserlike focus on state races by both longtime operatives at places like the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), which rarely receives much help from the national party, and other relative newcomers to this lowerprofile battlefield. Democrats have complained for years that while Republicans targeted state legislative races with huge financial investments, their own party and its donors focused instead on higher-profile contests featuring splashier candidates, even ones doomed to near-certain odds of defeat. Last year’s redistricting, in which Republican-controlled legislatures were able to carve maps to their own benefit, brought a fresh reminder of the stakes of ignoring those races. “State legislatures are seen by national Democrats as the minor leagues,” Squadron said. The midterm elections “proved they’re a game of their own and one that you have to focus on.” Squadron’s group spent about $60 million on state legislative races, particularly in Arizona, Maine, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania, in the belief that those legislatures were most at risk of having GOP lawmakers overturn a presidential race in favor of Trump or another Republi- NICK HAGEN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist join hands Tuesday after Whitmer’s celebratory speech at the Michigan Democrats’ election night party in Detroit. Democrats won Michigan’s House and Senate, which with Whitmer’s reelection rout will give the party full control of the state for the first time since after the 1982 election. CAROLINE GUTMAN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Supporters attend a Nov. 6 rally for Pennsylvania Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro in King of Prussia, Pa. Shapiro won handily over far-right GOP rival Doug Mastriano, and Democrats are poised to take control of the state House for the first time since 2008. can. Another Democratic PAC, Forward Majority, kicked in $20 million. The DLCC spent $50 million and its Republican counterpart, the Republican State Leadership Committee, spent $30 million. “Republicans had everything in their favor: record fundraising and a midterm political environment under a Democratic president, and they have little to show for it,” said DLCC President Jessica Post. Democrats, she said, “gained critical ground for the decade ahead.” This combined budget is a pittance compared with how Democratic donors focus on long-shot races for Senate — Democrats running in Iowa, Maine and South Carolina two years ago raised more than $250 million combined for their Senate bids, with all three losing by wide margins. Republicans did have some reason for celebration this week. In Kansas, they retained veto-proof supermajorities in the legislature, allowing them to impose their will even after incumbent Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly’s reelection victory Tuesday. In Ohio, not only did Gov. Mike DeWine (R) win another term in a landslide, but the GOP-controlled legislature maintained supermajorities in both houses and can chart a deeply conservative course in the next few years. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott won reelection to a third term as fellow Republicans widened their majorities in the legislature. The party also made gains in Iowa and South Carolina. And in Florida, as Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) won a second term in a rout, Republicans claimed supermajorities in both legislative bodies, the largest in a decade. “The days of Florida being a swing state are over,” said Dee Duncan, president of the Republican legislative campaign group. But Republicans’ hopes for trifecta victories — governor and both chambers — in several other states were dashed. Their bids to win supermajorities in North Carolina and Wisconsin’s legislatures, so they could overrule Democratic governors in those states, fell short. In Nevada, where votes were still being counted, experts say Democrats can hold on to their legislative majorities despite the loss by Gov. Steve Sisolak (D). And although Vermont reelected its Republican governor, a coalition of Democrats and members of the state Progressive Party in the legislature maintained its supermajority. Races in Arizona, for governor and the legislature, remain too close to call. Some of the Democratic victories came after redistricting battles that ended with more favor- able lines than the gerrymandered districts of the prior decade, through either the force of Democratic governors having a say or successful legal challenges to GOP-drawn maps. “A fair map is everything,” said Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman of the DemocraticFarmer-Labor Party. Hortman said Democrats outside of Minnesota’s blue cities also received targeted help from those in safer districts. Somali American state Rep. Mohamud Noor of St. Paul contacted Somali voters in St. Cloud and connected them with volunteers and fundraisers on behalf of state Rep. Dan Wolgamott. He ultimately won reelection by 540 votes. “What he did to help us surmount that language barrier was what helped us win,” Hortman said. “That’s how we’ll have to govern. We’ll have a large diversity of opinions. We are a big-tent party.” In Michigan, the Democratic takeover benefited from the coattails of Whitmer’s reelection rout, the big margin given to referendums that placed reproductive rights into the state constitution, and district lines drawn by a nonpartisan commission. The GOP candidates Democrats were running against also embraced some extreme positions, such as denying the results of the 2020 presidential election, that prompted many voters to overcome their concerns about the economy under President Biden. “It just really leaned into the culture wars, and voters are tired of that,” state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D) said. McMorrow drew national attention last spring with a viral speech condemning Republicans’ “hollow, hateful scheme” against LGBTQ rights after a colleague accused her of “grooming” children. “Inflation and gas prices is something that changes, but losing a fundamental right never goes away.” McMorrow, 36, noted that this is the first time Democrats took full control of the levers of power in Lansing in her lifetime. For more than 20 years, Pennsylvania Democrats have dominated in the biggest races, winning five of the six contests for governor, all in blowouts. The Democratic nominee has won seven of the last eight presidential races there. Yet Democrats have been largely powerless in Harrisburg, as Republicans have had full control of the legislature for 24 of the last 28 years. A very narrow Democratic state House majority got wiped out in 2010. This year, state Democrats in Harrisburg were able to persuade voters of the impact of the legislative elections by pointing to a GOP effort to place a wide-ranging package of state constitutional amendments on the ballot next year to restrict abortion, climate protections and voting rights — including raising the voting age to 21 if federal law allowed. Republicans there had used their majorities in both chambers to pass the package. By law, a Democratic governor couldn’t veto the amendments. The package would have gone up for a second vote early next year and, had it passed, been on the ballot next spring. Now House Democrats plan to block it. “This is why flipping a chamber is so important and historical,” said Rep. Leanne Krueger, who chairs the state House Democratic campaign committee. Even given the new makeup in Harrisburg, it’s unclear how much Democrats will be able to roll back Republican initiatives, since conservatives still control the state Senate. For people like Squadron, however, being able to block some GOP efforts is itself a big win. And the stakes escalated with the Supreme Court’s decision to hear a case this term that some conservative legal scholars argue could lead to legislatures, not the popular vote, determining which candidate wins a state’s presidential electoral votes. When the States Project staff got to work for this campaign, Squadron said, it targeted 73 specific races in key presidential swing states, aiming to flip enough legislatures to thwart any effort to overturn the 2024 presidential election. He cast their effort as a longoverdue response to conservatives like the billionaire Koch family, whose political network has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into shaping state campaigns and policies. “They got it,” Squadron told reporters during a Thursday briefing, referring to the Kochs. McMorrow, the Michigan state senator, listed as key priorities for the state’s newly Democratic legislature funding for schools, protecting the Great Lakes and shoring up voting rights protections. In a valedictory news conference Wednesday, Walz and other top Minnesota Democrats talked about a cautious agenda — given that they hold a mere one-seat edge in the Senate — but they also plan to move forward on codifying abortion rights, legalizing marijuana and expanding paid family leave. That was music to Squadron’s ears, having spent just $3 million in Minnesota and $16 million in Michigan. “The return on investment is unbelievable,” he said.

A12 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST SU . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 How a once-alluring crypto empire failed in a week Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX quickly found political clout before flop BY T ORY N EWMYER Sam Bankman-Fried, the 30-year-old wunderkind of cryptocurrency, spent tens of millions of dollars over the past year trying to reshape how Washington and the world think about finance. The crypto exchange he founded, FTX, had become an industrydominating business in just three years, valued at $32 billion as recently as January. He amassed political clout in an even bigger hurry, emerging from obscurity to become the second-largest Democratic donor in the midterm elections. By Friday, the money and the clout had disappeared: Bankman-Fried resigned from FTX, which then filed for bankruptcy. On Saturday, the company revealed it was investigating “unauthorized transactions” worth more than $400 million and that it had moved all funds into offline storage. And Bankman-Fried was left facing harrowing questions about his role in the most catastrophic collapse the notoriously volatile crypto industry has so far seen. With his disheveled appearance, super-casual manner and earnest insistence that he was trying to use his money to save the world, Bankman-Fried stood apart from the stereotype of crypto brats blowing instant riches on Lamborghinis and yachts. His purported power over the crypto market drew comparisons to Wall Street financier J.P. Morgan, yet he saw himself as using his fortune for good, not greed. How his career careened off course is a tale of ambition, hubris and ultimately recklessness — the full contours of which have yet to be publicly revealed. When Bankman-Fried was just 28, he built a platform that offered investors easy access to buying, selling and stashing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The offshore exchange allowed investors to place risky bets not allowed in the United States, though it was easy enough for American users to find workarounds; a U.S. affiliate offered limited services. With a massive marketing push — including a flashy Super Bowl ad and naming rights to the arena that is the home of Miami Heat — he sought to make crypto trading a mainstream pastime. Meanwhile, he was using his newfound political clout to sell Washington on a regulatory regime that promised to work to his advantage. The contrasts were glaring and never easily reconciled: As crypto’s self-appointed ambassador to Washington, Bankman-Fried was pressing for federal regulation even as he dodged U.S. oversight from his corporate headquarters in the Bahamas. The executive acknowledged that FTX’s aggressive lobbying made him an outlier in crypto. “Outside of us, there weren’t many people engaging,” Bankman-Fried said in an interview last month with The Washington Post. “I think that means we have to do a better job as an industry more generally engaging.” In March, he appeared at the House Democratic retreat in Philadelphia with his arm around House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (DCalif.). In April, he turned up in the office of Caroline Pham, a Republican member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, less than a week after she assumed the post, along with Mark Wetjen, the former acting LAM YIK/BLOOMBERG NEWS Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder and chief executive of FTX, is pictured in Hong Kong in 2021. Bankman-Fried resigned from his position last week ahead of the company filing for bankruptcy. The fall of his crypto exchange — which was valued at $32 billion in January — is the most catastrophic collapse in the industry to date. chair of the agency and now Bankman-Fried’s top Washington adviser. Hill staffers say they regularly spotted him around the Capitol, shuttling between meetings flanked by Wetjen and Eliora Katz, who joined FTX this summer from the staff of the Senate Banking Committee’s top Republican, Patrick J. Toomey (Pa.) Many crypto die-hards viewed his overtures to Washington as a betrayal of crypto’s founding mission. That set the stage for his most formidable adversary — Changpeng Zhao, chief executive of Binance, a rival crypto exchange — to crush him with stunning and decisive swiftness. Last Sunday, Zhao announced he was selling off his investment in FTX: $580 million of a crypto token FTX had been using to prop up its debts. “We are not against anyone,” Zhao wrote on Twitter. “But we won’t support people who lobby against other industry players behind their backs.” When Zhao fled, other FTX customers panicked, inundating FTX with withdrawal requests the company could not meet. Bankman-Fried was forced to ask Zhao to buy his company. The Binance chief accepted and then reneged, fueling allegations that Bankman-Fried was using FTX customer deposits to cover risky bets placed by Alameda Research, a sister trading firm. BankmanFried has denied the allegations. Now, the regulators BankmanFried had been wooing are circling. His unorthodox management style — maintaining a relatively skeletal staff and presiding over an exchange interconnected with a sister trading firm and a U.S. affiliate — are under scrutiny. Bankman-Fried keeps tweeting apologies. “I’m really sorry, again, that we ended up here,” he wrote Friday. But he has yet to offer answers to customers and investors wondering where their money has gone and whether they will recover it. The saga reflects a head- spinning fall from grace. Just a few months ago, Bankman-Fried was toasted as crypto’s Warren Buffett; now he’s drawing comparisons to convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes. Raised in the Bay Area by parents who are Stanford Law School professors, Bankman-Fried headed East for college, studying physics and math at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 2010s. While there, he developed an interest in effective altruism, a philosophy that encourages adherents to earn as much as they can so that they can donate as much as possible to minimize suffering in the world. After graduating in 2014, Bankman-Fried went to work for Jane Street Capital, a Wall Street investment firm. He quit three years later and founded his own crypto-focused trading firm, Alameda Research, then launched FTX in 2019. He moved his budding empire from Hong Kong to the Bahamas last fall. FTX is not the first crypto business to collapse in recent months. The industry has been rocked by a sell-off that wiped out two-thirds of crypto market value, roughly $2 trillion, as the value of bitcoin has fallen from roughly $68,000 a year ago to $17,000 now. The failure of stablecoin issuer Terra Luna in May set off a chain reaction that brought down lenders Voyager Digital and Celsius Network and the crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital. But Bankman-Fried spent massively to market FTX as a trustworthy investment platform. The company paid $135 million for the naming rights to the Miami Heat arena; it signed a deal with Major League Baseball to affix its logo to umpires’ uniforms. It added pop-culture star power by recruiting football legend Tom Brady and wife Gisele Bündchen as spokespeople and airing a Super Bowl ad featuring comedian Larry David. Bankman-Fried also put him- self forward as an unlikely public face of the company, becoming a constant presence on Twitter, conference stages, podcasts, cable television and print media. He understood that his sartorial quirkiness — he often appeared in shorts and T-shirts under an unkempt mop of curls — presented a disarming contrast to slicker peers in both crypto and traditional finance, people close to him said. In Washington, BankmanFried embraced the halo effect conferred by his philanthropic work. A billboard advertising FTX went up in Union Station earlier this year, featuring a smiling photo of the crypto magnate and the words, “I’m in on crypto to make a global impact for good.” That double-barreled pitch was on display again last month, when he hosted a happy hour to lobby a half-dozen Democratic Senate aides on his crypto regulatory agenda at the Capitol Hill headquarters of his organization dedicated to preventing future pandemics. Attendees said Bankman-Fried used the event to argue that Congress should urgently pass a bipartisan Senate bill that would hand significant oversight of centralized crypto exchanges — including FTX — to the CFTC, which is viewed as a friendlier alternative to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The session at the $3.3 million private townhouse ended when Bankman-Fried’s younger brother, Gabe — director of Guarding Against Pandemics, the advocacy group based there — stopped by, thanked the aides for their support on pandemic preparedness issues and pulled the crypto executive into a separate meeting. The bill Bankman-Fried was pitching — the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act, sponsored by Sens. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and John Boozman (R-Ark.) — has drawn criticism both from advocates of stricter financial regulation for not going far enough and from some crypto operators who say it is too draconian. Yet those close to the process say BankmanFried’s advocacy pushed the measure into potential consideration for year-end action by a Congress that remains, for now, under Democratic control. For Bankman-Fried, the bill would provide his brand of crypto finance a regulatory blessing that would help him grow his business. He believed it would usher in a wave of investment from traditional players scared off by the industry’s Wild West reputation. “If you talk to most institutions right now, they’re interested, they’re dabbling,” he told The Post. “But for them to feel comfortable making a big move in the digital asset ecosystem, they need to see regulatory clarity.” Even some crypto lobbyists were unaware how much traction Bankman-Fried had gained in Congress. But in late September, they got a wake-up call during a New York dinner hosted by Ryan Selkis, chief executive of crypto market intelligence firm Messari. The event, for which Selkis rented out Ernesto’s, a Spanish restaurant on the Lower East Side, was meant in part to celebrate the industry’s maturation in Washington. But talk quickly turned to the latest developments on the Hill. “Can we talk about the elephant in the room?” Kristin Smith, executive director of the Blockchain Association, said to the group, participants said. “Sam is selling out the industry to get a monopoly for FTX.” Bankman-Fried was not at the New York dinner. But last month, he attempted to confront those concerns at another private meeting of crypto lobbyists at the Kimpton Banneker Hotel in Washington. Organized by Selkis as a follow-up session, the gathering aimed to forge consensus on strategy among the industry’s top government affairs representatives. The FTX chief made a case for rallying behind the Senate bill, arguing in part for the virtue of establishing the CFTC’s authority, attendees said. But the pitch failed to win converts. “It wasn’t a conversation, so to speak,” one attendee said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private meeting, implying that Bankman-Fried believed he alone spoke for the industry. In the wake of FTX’s collapse, critics of the bill are arguing for a pause in Washington. “We don’t need more legislation. We need more money and support for regulators to go after what is fundamentally a lawless industry,” said Dennis Kelleher, president of Better Markets, which advocates for tougher financial regulation. “We need elected officials to prioritize the public interest rather than campaign contributors and lobbyists.” Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried’s partners are bolting. The Miami Heat and Miami-Dade County announced Friday they are terminating their relationship with the company and looking for a new naming rights partner for the arena. The Crypto Council for Innovation, a leading crypto industry lobbying group, announced they had accepted the resignation of FTX’s U.S. affiliate. And the team behind the FTX Future Fund, one of its philanthropic efforts, said in an open letter they had quit. What happens next, on Capitol Hill and beyond, remains in doubt. Zhao, for his part, predicted more pain as shock waves from FTX’s collapse continue to reverberate. “It’s devastating for the industry,” the Binance chief said at a conference in Indonesia this week. “With FTX going down, we will see cascading effects.” CBP commissioner Chris Magnus resigns after standoff with DHS secretary N ICK M IROFF U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus resigned late Saturday, the White House said in a short statement, ending an awkward standoff between the country’s top border official and Department of Take The Post for a run wpost.com/podcasts Washington Post podcasts go with you everywhere Politics • History • Culture • More gay commissioner. Yet Magnus’s ambitions to overhaul CBP put him at odds with Mayorkas and senior CBP leaders struggling to contend with record numbers of migrant arrests along the Mexico border. Magnus said he sought to make changes to policies governing high-speed vehicle pursuits, staff overtime practices as well as CBP officer inspections of travelers’ cellphones at border crossings, among other reform ideas. Those efforts were stymied, he said. “I didn’t take this job as a résumé builder. I came to Washington, D.C. — moved my family here — because I care about this agency, its mission, and the goals of this Administration,” Magnus said while defying attempts to oust him. Magnus said he tried repeatedly to bring much-needed changes to CBP, but Mayorkas did not welcome disruptions, and was more attuned to the needs of career officials coping with the strains at the border. According to Magnus, tensions peaked Wednesday after Magnus traveled to El Paso to attend a meeting of the Border Patrol sec- Retropolis tor chiefs. Mayorkas had asked him not to go. Magnus said Mayorkas then asked for his resignation during a videoconference, telling Magnus that he and CBP staff had lost confidence in him and that Magnus had disobeyed him by traveling to El Paso.

A14 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Crypto exchange FTX is investigating a potential hack Nearly $500 million may be missing following a bankruptcy filing Friday BY L AUREN K AORI G URLEY, S TEVEN Z EITCHIK AND J OSEPH M ENN Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX is investigating “unauthorized transactions” and has moved all funds into offline storage. About $477 million in crypto funds seem to have disappeared from FTX in apparently unauthorized transactions after the company filed for bankruptcy on Friday, according to the crypto analytics firm Elliptic. In response, the company has advised users not to log on to the site, according to a Telegram post pinned by FTX general counsel Ryne Miller, who said doing so could expose them to further attacks. The tokens were quickly converted to ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, a popular technique used by hackers to prevent their funds from being seized. Tom Robinson, co-founder of Elliptic, clarified the numbers in an email late Saturday afternoon. He said that the group had tracked a total of $663 million that had moved from FTX. Of that, $477 million is suspected to have been stolen, with the remainder authorized by FTX itself. He said the numbers could fluctuate slightly as the group did more research. Earlier Saturday afternoon, the chief security officer at another major exchange, Kraken, said that a verified account on its platform had been used in the breach. “We know the identity of the user,” Kraken’s Nick Percoco tweeted. He said that a statement from FTX was expected soon. Meanwhile, a prominent crypto investigator, known online as ZachXBT, said he had tracked two accounts that were moving funds — the hacker and one at FTX that tried to stem the damage. “The attacker withdrew assets from FTX/FTX U.S. and began selling them for assets that can’t be frozen,” ZachXBT wrote in a message to The Washington Post. OLIVIER DOULIERY/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES FTX is investigating a possible hack into its system after nearly $500 million appears to be missing from the cryptocurrency exchange. In the wake of the crisis, some critics have called for tighter government scrutiny on cryptocurrency companies, which have largely avoided regulation. “It appears FTX employees then began to save the remaining assets.” Some crypto entities were able to freeze the hacked assets, making them unusable, he added. Tether, the coin pegged to the U.S. dollar, was able to freeze about $31 million. In his view, it remains unclear whether the attacker was a person with inside knowledge of FTX’s systems. (The blockchain — the digital ledger used in the analysis — does not offer personally identifying data.) Some experts have noted that when a company winds down operations quickly, security can be left weakened, aiding opportunistic hackers. Outside security experts said Balance. Harmony. Beauty. ® Our commitment to providing a safe, healthy, and respectful worksite and experience. that since a verified account was used at Kraken, and FTX was warning users not to employ the app, an insider was probably involved either as a perpetrator or as a victim who had credentials compromised as a steppingstone in the attack. “It looks like they have an app update that is malicious coming down. If that is verified, this is someone trying to rob FTX while they still can before everything is frozen because of Chapter 11,” said Joe Roosen, a hacking threat researcher at Intel471. While FTX did not directly respond to The Post for comment right away, Miller later tweeted a statement on behalf of new chief executive John J. Ray III that the company’s executives “continue — to make every effort to secure all assets, wherever located.” “We have been in contact with, and are coordinating with law enforcement and relevant regulators,” Ray added. Miller had tweeted earlier Saturday that the exchange had “initiated precautionary steps to move all digital assets to cold storage.” Cold storage refers to crypto wallets that are not connected to the internet to guard against hackers. The firm is “investigating abnormalities with wallet movements,” but the facts remain “unclear” and FTX will “share more info as soon as we have it,” he wrote. FTX appeared to have verified rumors of a potential hack on the Are our ultimate pursuits whether you are considering an outdoor oasis, a food lover’s kitchen, or an owner’s suite. Because during these times, home is more important than ever. exchange’s Telegram channel and has asked customers to stay off the firm’s website and delete FTX apps, CoinDesk reported. The Post could not confirm the details of messages in the firm’s private Telegram channel. Sam Bankman-Fried, the cofounder and chief executive of FTX, resigned Friday after the exchange he founded had gone from being an industry giant valued at $32 billion to facing collapse over the course of just three years. In the wake of the crisis, some critics have called for tighter government scrutiny on crypto companies, which have largely avoided regulation. They say that could have helped prevent situations like that at FTX, which is now the subject of a slew of questions about a lack of separation between the exchange and Bankman-Fried’s trading firm, Alameda Research. On Saturday, Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen said she agreed with the criticism. “In other regulated exchanges, you would have segregation of customer assets,” she told Bloomberg News. “The notion you could use the deposits of customers of an exchange and lend them to a separate enterprise that you control to do leveraged, risky investments — that wouldn’t be something that’s allowed.” The FBI and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ A15 RE Why the market for vegan, plant-based meat has cooled High prices, unclear health benefits hinder the products’ success BY L AURA R EILEY Plant-based meat, heralded by many as the death knell to Big Meat, appears at this moment to have dealt only a flesh wound. The promise of high-tech meat substitutes prompted a frenzy of celebrity investment and red-hot initial public stock offerings in 2019. The pandemic saw significant consumer curiosity and a stampede of newcomers in the category, including entries from the world’s largest food and meat companies, with Tyson, Smithfield, Perdue, Hormel, Nestlé and others leaping into the fray. Analysts wrote about the hunger for meat, dairy and egg substitutes among “flexitarians” — nonvegetarians looking for easy swaps to do less harm to the environment, animals and their health. Executives poured in from other multinational food companies to nab top jobs in the nascent industry; fast food giants added plant-based offerings with much fanfare. But then things slowed down. Meteoric growth in 2020 flattened in 2021 and retail sales have dropped more than 10 percent in the past year. Beyond Meat, the Los Angeles-based purveyor of plant-based burgers, crumbles, nuggets and such, saw its stock price plunge nearly 80 percent from its peak, and last month the company announced it would lay off about 19 percent of its workforce. It’s not just Beyond: Meat giant JBS announced in early October that it was shuttering its two-year-old Planterra business in the United States. and closing its 190,000-square-foot Colorado facility, and McDonald’s has tabled its idea to roll out the McPlant burger nationally. The industry’s troubles come despite mounting evidence that people should, for health and environmental reasons, reduce their consumption of beef, lamb, pork and poultry produced via traditional animal agriculture. The Stockholm Environment NAM Y. HUH/ASSOCIATED PRESS In the past year, Beyond Meat saw its stock price plunge nearly 80 percent from its peak, and last month the company announced it would lay off about 19 percent of its workforce. Institute recently issued a report that found the production of animal-based foods responsible for as much as 20 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. If meat consumption continues along current trends, it will be impossible to keep global warming below the goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius, and difficult to stay below 2 degrees Celsius, its authors said. The report also found the animal-based food system a key driver of biodiversity loss. The past few years have also seen an avalanche of reports about the ills of a meat-heavy diet for human health, for planetary health, for workers’ health and for the habitat of the planet’s animal species. Meanwhile, the world’s appetite for meat continues to grow. The global consumption of meat has more than doubled since 1990, reaching over 339 million metric tons in 2021, and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that will rise to 374 metric tons by 2030. Here are five reasons the market for alt-meat has cooled. Price “With inflation, consumers are less willing to spend extra on a premium-priced item,” such as meat substitutes, said Brian Ronholm, director of food policy for Consumer Reports. One of the reasons beef was an attractive place to start for new plant-based meat companies was because beef is expensive. Altmeat’s high prices wouldn’t be as glaring. With time, analysts predicted, beef prices would stay high while plant-based meat got cheaper, as companies scaled up and paid off their start-up costs. But price parity remains elusive. Plant-based beef is still twice as expensive as conventional beef and plant-based chicken is four times as expensive as conventional chicken, said Emma Ignaszewski, associate director of the Good Food Institute, a nonprofit that promotes alternatives to traditional meat. Greater affordability will unlock additional consumer markets, experts say, but with high commodity grain prices and meager harvests on crops like green and yellow peas (the building blocks of many alt-meat products are soy and peas), that may still be far off. Fuzzy health benefits The first generation of simulated meat — Tofurky, Boca burgers and MorningStar Farms soy patties — was designed for folks who don’t eat meat, said JP Frossard, consumer foods analyst at Rabobank. The next generation, which more closely mimics meat in texture (many products “bleed” like real beef ) and flavor, was for the flexitarian who aimed to reduce their meat consumption frequency. “But once the novelty went away, the consumer started to read the label,” Frossard said. “Meat has one ingredient and now you’re looking at products with 15. People started asking, ‘What is methyl cellulose and why am I paying a premium for it?’” Product manufacturers have convinced consumers that altmeat is better for the environment and reduces animal cruelty, but they haven’t convinced consumers that it’s healthier for them, said Peter Saleh, managing director and restaurant analyst at equity research firm BTIG. People are motivated by self interest, and until they are convinced it’s better for them, alt-meat will remain a niche product, Saleh said. Conventional meat also has become synonymous with protein, and protein is, for many people, something you can’t have too much of, said Julie Guthman, a sociology professor at University of California at Santa Cruz. “There are negative associations with fats, carbohydrates and sugar, but protein has been this unscathed macronutrient for a very long time — it’s associated with vigor, strength and masculinity,” Guthman said. Most meat substitutes are lower in saturated fat than conventional meat, making them better for you in that regard. But manufacturers are trying to address skepticism about their high level of processing by developing new products that limit unnecessary ingredients and chemicals, and fortifying them with vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients. Too many players There are now more than 60 plant-based meat brands with over $500,000 in retail sales, Ignaszewski said. By contrast, there are only 45 brands of plantbased milk with that level of sales. “There is so much competition and it’s a crowded market — no one expects all these brands to be there in 10 years,” Frossard said. Sales of refrigerated meat alternatives are steeply declining, according to market research firm IRI, while frozen products are growing a bit. That is in part because there’s more jostling for space in the refrigerated meat section. Restaurants not buying in Independent restaurants were the first to sell some of the new generation of plant-based burgers, but in order to thrive they must work for fast food, where billions of burgers are sold annually, Saleh said. Burger King saw success with its Impossible Whopper, a dead ringer for the real thing, only a little squishier. But other fast food giants haven’t been as fortunate. McDonald’s launched its McPlant burgers this spring in about 600 stores in the San Francisco Bay area and Dallas-Fort Worth. With daily sales much lower than anticipated, it wasn’t economical to continue to sell them because they had to be cooked to order, a dealbreaker on the drive-through where speed is of the essence, Saleh said. The ho-hum name attached to the burger, which used a Beyond patty but didn’t capitalize on that name recognition, probably didn’t help, said Elysabeth Alfano, chief executive of VegTech Invest, an investment firm that focuses on plant-based companies. Lack of versatility Almost all new plant-based meat companies started with ground beef and chicken nuggets or tenders, because they are easier to manufacture than simulated steak or chicken breast. But how many of those “guilty pleasure” quick-serve foods does the average adult want to eat in a week? “Companies need to go beyond the burger or nugget,” Frossard said, launching whole-muscle cuts and meat chunks that can be used in a stir fry or a stew — in other words, ingredients home cooks can cook with. Alt-milks have continued to gain market share because of their versatility and ability to perform the many functions of dairy, Frossard said, whether that’s with cereal, in coffee or in smoothies or desserts. Plant-based brands are gearing up to broaden their product ranges, with Beyond Meat recently debuting Beyond Steak sliced strips at Kroger and Walmart, and Impossible aims to debut its own filet mignon product soon. Hype is building with the likely introduction in the United States next year of cultivated meat, made from cell cultures from real animals that doesn’t necessitate slaughter. Sofía De La Parra, an analyst at the investor network FAIRR Initiative, anticipates cultivated meat will reignite interest in plant-based products, while Frossard said the impact is “TBD,” perhaps serving only to further crowd the marketplace and confuse the customer.

A16 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 The World Among Haitians, skepticism prevails as U.N. considers another mission Fallout from 2010 intervention shows why people are leery, even amid a dual cholera and gang crisis RICHARD PIERRIN/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES LEFT: Police in Haiti search Port-au-Prince’s Carrefour Feuilles neighborhood during an attack by armed gangs Thursday. BELOW: A woman uses a towel to swat flies away from her daughter, who is stricken with cholera, at a clinic run by Doctors Without Borders in Port-au-Prince on Friday. Cholera is racing across the country, and gang violence has hindered the response. The Haitian government has asked for “a specialized armed force” from abroad to help with the deadly situation. BY W IDLORE M ÉRANCOURT AND A MANDA C OLETTA port-au-prince, haiti — In a country where virtually all the news lately has been bad, Lucmane Tabuto found the announcement that cholera had resurfaced particularly worrisome. The 65-year-old former carpenter thought back to his own experience with the waterborne disease more than a decade ago. U.N. peacekeepers, deployed to this Caribbean nation after the 2010 earthquake that killed around 220,000 people, improperly disposed of sewage waste and contaminated a river, setting off an outbreak that killed 10,000 people and sickened more than 820,000. Tabuto thought about how he was hospitalized for weeks and unable to work for a month. How his wife and one of his children almost died of the disease. How the ordeal devastated his family’s finances. How he’s still dealing with the effects — and still waiting to be made whole. “They brought cholera to Haiti and they need to compensate us,” Tabuto said. “It’s an injustice. It’s an unspeakable abuse.” As cholera races across Haiti, propelled in part by an escalating security crisis, the United Nations is mulling a request from Haiti’s government for “a specialized armed force” from abroad to quell the gang violence that has hindered the response and brought the nation of 11 million to the precipice of anarchy. But the request, which has been backed by U.N. Secretary General António Guterres and the Biden administration, is a divisive and delicate subject here, where the shadow of a long history of destabilizing foreign interventions, including the U.N. mission that introduced cholera, looms large. And it’s renewing questions about accountability and redress. The United Nations in 2016 pledged $400 million in a “new approach to cholera,” but has raised only 5 percent of the sum, while drawing criticism for failing to center victims in its decisions. “It’s really terrible,” said Mario Joseph, a Haitian lawyer who has helped lead efforts to seek redress for cholera victims. “They gave us cholera, they didn’t do anything to eradicate the cholera” and they are using its resurgence as a “pretext” to return, Joseph said. Haiti has suffered more than 6,800 suspected cases and more than 100 deaths since officials reported on Oct. 2 that cholera had resurfaced after three years without a new case. Diagnoses of the disease, which is easily treatable but can cause death within hours if left untreated, have doubled in the past week alone. “Cholera is gaining ground,” said Jeanty Fils Exalus, a spokesman for Haiti’s Health Ministry. “We have to mobilize way more resources.” That’s easier said than done. Gang violence, which has intensi- ODELYN JOSEPH/ASSOCIATED PRESS fied since the brazen assassination last year of President Jovenel Moïse at his home outside the capital, has impeded access to health care, fuel, clean drinking water and other aid. There are effective vaccines for cholera, but the government hasn’t approved a vaccination plan. Tabuto listens for news about cholera on the radio from his home in Jérémie, a city in southern Haiti. Clean water is scarce. Water purification tablets are in short supply. “If the cholera comes to Jérémie,” he said, “it will be worse than the outbreak of 2010.” Cholera was nonexistent here before it was introduced in 2010 by a contingent of U.N. peacekeepers from Nepal, where cholera is endemic. They improperly disposed of latrine sewage in a tributary of the Artibonite River. For years, the United Nations refused to acknowledge its role in the outbreak, even as scientific evidence piled up, and it sought to skirt legal responsibility by invoking diplomatic immunity. In 2013, it rejected compensation claims. In 2016, the U.N. special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights condemned the organization. “The existing approach is mor- ally unconscionable, legally indefensible and politically self-defeating,” Philip Alston wrote. “It is also entirely unnecessary. … [It] upholds a double standard according to which the United Nations insists that member states respect human rights, while rejecting any such responsibility for itself.” Later that year, then-Secretary General Ban Ki-moon apologized for the organization’s role in the outbreak, saying it blemished “the reputation of U.N. peacekeeping and the organization worldwide.” He announced a “new approach,” promising $400 million in funding for improved sanitation and water infrastructure and for “material assistance and support” to severely affected victims. Five years later, it has raised only $21.8 million. “The resurgence of cholera in Haiti today is a direct result of the U.N.’s failure to keep its promises,” said Beatrice Lindstrom, a clinical instructor at Harvard’s International Human Rights Clinic who worked with Joseph to bring classaction lawsuits against the international body. Victims and their advocates have criticized the United Nations for opting for community-based projects instead of direct compensation to victims who lost wages, saw family finances falter after their breadwinners died, and still struggle with illness. “If this happened in the United States or in Canada or in Australia and the official response was, ‘We’re not giving any compensation to individuals even though there was a direct link between the death of your relative and the actions of the United Nations … but we will build a new community home, we might set up a new health center,’ ” said Alston, now a law professor at New York University, “that would be met with outrage.” Stéphane Dujarric, a spokesman for Guterres, acknowledged that the “new approach” is “underfunded,” in part because contributions are voluntary. He cited this funding gap as one reason the United Nations is moving ahead with community-based projects over direct compensation. The lessons from 2010 are being used in the current response, which can interrupt cholera transmission if the effort is fully funded, he said. The international community has spent $705 million fighting cholera in Haiti since 2010, he added. Dujarric said that some recent donor contributions were allocated to a surveillance mechanism that Haitian authorities used to identify cholera’s resurgence last month. “Ultimately, however, Haiti will continue to suffer from outbreaks of waterborne diseases until the country develops water, sanitation and hygiene systems that are robust, equitable and sustainable,” he said. The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously last month to impose sanctions on Haitian gang leaders, and the United States and Canada have levied sanctions on the president of Haiti’s senate and his predecessor for their alleged roles in supporting the gangs. But the panel hasn’t come to a decision on a U.S. resolution that would authorize a “non-U.N. international security assistance mission” to help Haitian police restore order and to enable the movement of humanitarian aid. The United States does not want to lead the force. Though Haitian police recently regained control of a key fuel terminal that had been blockaded by a gang for nearly two months, State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters last week that this did not diminish the need for a foreign force. “There is still urgency,” Price said. “The status quo remains untenable.” U.S. officials have pressed Canada to lead the force. Canada dispatched a team to Haiti last month to assess needs. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said there must be intervention “in one way or another,” but he has not specified what it might entail. When Wien-Weibert Arthus, Haiti’s ambassador to Canada, appeared before a parliamentary committee in Ottawa this month, several lawmakers voiced unease about deepening Canada’s involvement in a country where a political consensus remains elusive and the interim prime minister lacks popular legitimacy. The main difficulty a foreign security force would face on the ground, Arthus said, was “acceptance.” Rony Delice, 32, contracted cholera in 2011. He spent time in the hospital, doubled over with agonizing stomach pain and severe vomiting. He is still traumatized from the experience, he said, and expected compensation that never came. “When I heard about the request for foreign intervention, I said to myself, ‘They were here before and look at the country now,’ ” Delice said. “People were dying when they were here — and they continue to die today.” casualties, they said. The epicenter was in the village of Patadewal, the National Seismological Center reported. Saturday morning in northern French city of Lille, but no deaths were reported thanks to a resident’s warning, French authorities said. Lille firefighters said they rescued one person from the rubble with only light injuries. The search for any others possibly trapped in the rubble is ongoing, and an investigation will begin into why the building collapsed. The building in the center of the city was evacuated before dawn after a man coming back home about 3 a.m. after a night out saw cracks appearing in the structure and reported the issue to emergency services, the Lille prefecture said. DI GEST HAITI Gas available for first time since September Whoops of excitement echoed through the streets of Port-auPrince early Saturday as gas stations opened across Haiti for the first time in two months after a powerful gang lifted a crippling fuel blockade. Ever since a gang federation known as G9 seized control of an area surrounding a key fuel terminal in mid-September, life in Haiti has been paralyzed, leaving millions of people temporarily out of work. The blockade — aimed at trying to oust Prime Minister Ariel Henry after he announced a rise in gas prices — forced gas stations to close, hospitals to cut back on critical services and businesses, including banks and grocery stores, to limit their hours. It also worsened a cholera outbreak that has killed dozens and sickened thousands, with companies unable to distribute potable water. Earlier this week, nearly 400 trucks lined up at the newly freed Varreux terminal in Portau-Prince, filling up their tanks with fuel as a heavily armed police convoy escorted them to stations in the capital and beyond. The truck drivers arrived after the G9 gang, led by former police officer Jimmy Cherizier, announced a week ago that it was lifting the blockade. — Associated Press Crash leaves hot air balloon without pilot in Alps: A hot air balloon crashed twice on the eastern edge of the Alps in Austria, injuring nine people as a hard landing apparently bounced the pilot and the copilot out of the basket and sent several passengers back into the sky on their own, authorities said. The Kurier daily newspaper reported that the accident occurred as the balloon was about to land on a meadow. It apparently descended too quickly and bounced off the ground, knocking the pilot, co- pilot and two others out of the basket. They were dragged along for a few yards before the balloon took off again with its five remaining passengers. The pilot was able to instruct the passengers by phone how to make an emergency landing.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ A17 RE Report outlines UAE attempts to manipulate U.S. policy REPORT FROM A1 mon for a U.S. intelligence product to closely examine interactions involving U.S. officials given its mandate to focus on foreign threats. “The U.S. intelligence community generally stays clear of anything that could be interpreted as studying American domestic politics,” said Bruce Riedel, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who served on the National Intelligence Council in the 1990s. “Doing something like this on a friendly power is also unique. It’s a sign that the U.S. intelligence community is willing to take on new challenges,” he said. Lauren Frost, a spokeswoman at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, declined to comment when asked about the report. The UAE’s ambassador to Washington, Yousef Al Otaiba, said he is “proud of the UAE’s influence and good standing in the U.S.” “It has been hard earned and well deserved. It is the product of decades of close UAE-US cooperation and effective diplomacy. It reflects common interests and shared values,” he said in a statement. The relationship is unique. Over the years, the United States has agreed to sell the UAE some of its most sophisticated and lethal military equipment, including MQ-9 aerial drones and advanced F-35 fighter jets, a privilege not bestowed on any other Arab country over concern about diminishing Israel’s qualitative military edge. Some of the influence operations described in the report are known to national security professionals, but such activities have flourished because of Washington’s unwillingness to reform foreign-influence laws or provide additional resources to the Department of Justice. Other activities more closely resemble espionage, people familiar with the report said. The UAE has spent more than $154 million on lobbyists since 2016, according to Justice Department records. It has spent hundreds of millions of dollars more on donations to American universities and think tanks, many that produce policy papers with findings favorable to UAE interests. There is no prohibition in the United States on lobbyists donating money to political campaigns. One U.S. lawmaker who read the intelligence report told The Post that it illustrates how American democracy is being distorted by foreign money, saying it should serve as a wake-up call. “A very clear red line needs to be established against the UAE playing in American politics,” said the lawmaker. “I’m not convinced we’ve ever raised this with the Emiratis at a high level.” Both the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the State Department declined to comment on whether they have addressed the issue with senior UAE counterparts. The U.S. government’s muted public response follows President Biden’s impassioned pitch to midterm elections voters last week that American democracy is under threat from powerful interests and needs concerted safeguarding. “With democracy on the ballot, we have to remember these first principles: Democracy means the rule of the people — not the rule of monarchs or the moneyed, but the rule of the people,” Biden said during a speech in Washington. The National Intelligence Council, or NIC, is the intelligence community’s premier analytic hub. Its products draw on information from the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies to speak with one voice on pressing national security issues. People who shared information about the report declined to provide a copy of it. They said the activities attributed to the UAE in the report go well beyond mere influence peddling. One of the more brazen exploits involved the hiring of three former U.S. intelligence and military officials to help the UAE surveil dissidents, politicians, journalists and U.S. companies. In public legal filings, U.S. prosecutors said the men helped the UAE break into computers in the United States and other countries. Last year, all three admitted in court to providing sophisticated hacking technology to the UAE, agreeing to surrender their security clearances and pay about $1.7 million to resolve criminal charges. The Justice Department touted the settlement as a “firstof-its-kind resolution.” It did not involve prison time, however, and critics viewed the financial penalty as paltry given the substantial payments re- CHRISTOPHER PIKE/BLOOMBERG NEWS ceived by the former U.S. officials for their work, raising concerns it did little to dissuade similar future behavior. Those seeking reform also note the federal trial of Thomas Barrack, a longtime adviser to former president Donald Trump, who was acquitted this month of charges alleging he worked as an agent of the UAE and lied to federal investigators about it. U.S. prosecutors accused Barrack of exploiting his access to Trump to benefit the UAE and working a secret back channel for communications that involved passing sensitive information to Emirati officials. The evidence introduced in court included thousands of messages, social media posts and flight records, as well as communications showing that Emirati officials provided him with talking points for media appearances in which he praised the UAE. After one such interview, Barrack emailed a contact saying, “I nailed it … for the home team,” referring to the UAE. Barrack, who never registered with the U.S. government to lobby for the gulf state, vehemently denied the charges, and prosecutors failed to convince a jury that his influence-peddling gave rise to crimes. An assistant of his, Matthew Grimes, was also acquitted. Barrack, though a spokesman, declined to comment. The UAE is far from alone in using aggressive tactics to try to bend the U.S. political system to its liking. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, Taiwan and scores of other governments run influence campaigns in the United States in an effort to impact U.S. policy. But the intelligence community’s scrutiny of the UAE indicates a heightened level of concern and a dramatic departure from the laudatory way the country is discussed in public by U.S. secretaries of state and defense and presidents, who routinely emphasize the “importance of further deepening the U.S.-UAE strategic relationship.” The UAE is a federation of sheikhdoms with more than 9 million people including the city-states of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Since 2012, it has been the third-biggest purchaser of U.S. weapons and built what many consider the most powerful military in the Arab world by cultivating close ties to the U.S. political, defense and military establishment. The UAE’s armed forces have fought alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. The country also hosts 5,000 U.S. military personnel at al-Dhafra Air Base and U.S. warships at the Jebel Ali deep-water port. Boosters of the gulf state in U.S. think tanks and military circles often hail it as “Little Sparta” for its military prowess while sidestepping its human rights record and ironclad kinship with Saudi Arabia. There are no elections or political parties in the UAE, and no independent judiciary. Criticism of the government is banned, and trade unions and homosexuality are outlawed. Freedom House ranks the gulf state among the least free countries in the world. The stifling political environment stands in stark contrast to the country’s opulent cosmopolitan offerings, including the world’s tallest building, ski slopes inside a shopping mall and Ferrari World, a theme park inspired by the Italian sports car manufacturer. Its largest city, Dubai, is a tax-free business hub with glitzy five-star hotels, nightclubs and DJ concerts that feel incongruous to the nearby religious zeal of Saudi Arabia. In recent years, U.S. officials and independent watchdogs have warned that smuggling and money-laundering in the UAE have allowed criminals and militants to hide their wealth there. Focus on the UAE’s role in Washington grew following the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey. The CIA concluded his killing was done at the behest of Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman, a revelation that caused Washington lobbying firms and think tanks to sever their financial ties to Riyadh. Though the UAE had no involvement, the crown prince’s status as a protege of Mohamed bin Zayed alNahyan, the ruler of the United Arab Emirates known as MBZ, invited greater scrutiny. “MBZ was a big part of the crowd who said the Saudi crown prince would be a reformer, make Saudi Arabia a more normal country, give women the right to vote — all of which crashed when Khashoggi was killed,” Riedel said. Concerns about the UAE among human rights groups grew with its military involvement in the brutal war in Yemen, from which it has since with- Residential and commercial skyscrapers punctuate the skyline of Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s capital. There are no elections or political parties in the UAE, and no independent judiciary. The stifling political environment stands in stark contrast to the country’s opulent cosmopolitan offerings.

ANDREW HARNIK/ASSOCIATED PRESS drawn. The gulf state also angered U.S. officials after the Defense Department’s watchdog said the UAE may have been financing the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary army close to the Kremlin that has been accused of atrocities in Libya, Ukraine and Africa. The UAE denies the charge. Though the UAE has maintained strong bipartisan support in the United States, it cultivated a particularly close connection to the Trump administration, which approved the $23 billion sale of F-35s, MQ-9s and other munitions to the gulf state. The transfer, which has faced resistance by congressional Democrats, has not moved forward yet but is supported by the Biden administration. Last month, The Post revealed the UAE’s extensive courtship of retired high-ranking U.S. military personnel. The investigation showed that over the past seven years, 280 retired U.S. service members have worked as military contractors and consultants for the UAE, more than for any other country, and that the advisory jobs pay handsomely. Instrumental to the UAE’s success in Washington has been Otaiba, an ambassador who has forged strong connections with powerful politicians and business leaders across the political spectrum. The intelligence report is careful not to identify specific individuals, according to people who have read it, but it mentions several meetings and conversations involving U.S. and Emirati officials. One passage refers to a meeting of a senior U.S. and a senior UAE official who commended each other for “singlehandedly” salvaging the U.S.-UAE relationship. One person who read the report said it was an unmistakable reference to Otaiba. Asked about the intelligence community’s findings, Otaiba said he has been “honored to be among a group of serious people with good intentions in both countries that have built a full and lasting partnership that has made the UAE, the U.S. and the region more secure, more prosperous, and more open-minded.” Some U.S. lawmakers in both parties have proposed legislation to curb foreign influence in U.S. politics. A bill introduced last year by Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) would prohibit political campaign committees from accepting money from lobbyists registered with a foreign country. Other reform proposals include increasing disclosure requirements, providing more resources to the Justice Department’s foreign influence unit and standardizing filing data, said Anna Massoglia, a foreign-influence expert at OpenSecrets, an organization that tracks political spending, “While the U.S. does have some disclosure rules in place, there are still a number of loopholes that allow individuals to work on behalf of foreign interests in this country without disclosing their work,” Massoglia said.
A18 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 White House ‘doing everything we can’ to secure release of British-Egyptian U.S. unable to verify jailed activist’s condition; family wants proof of life AND BY M ATT V ISER S IOBHÁN O ' G RADY aboard air force one — Presi- dent Biden’s brief stopover at the U.N. climate conference known as COP27 on Friday included “intensive consultations” on the case of Alaa Abdel Fattah, the BritishEgyptian political prisoner on hunger and water strike in an Egyptian prison. “We are doing everything we can to secure his release as well as the release of a number of other political prisoners,” U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters aboard Air Force One after the delegation departed Egypt on Friday. Abdel Fattah’s family staked their hopes on Biden’s visit as a possible step toward his release, as fears mount he may die in prison. An activist during the country’s 2011 revolution who comes from one of Egypt’s most prominent intellectual families, Abdel Fattah has spent much of the last decade behind bars and was most recently sentenced to five years in prison after he was found guilty last December of “spreading false news.” The United States is a close ally of Egypt and provides more than $1 billion in military aid to the country each year. Biden has pledged to make human rights a focus of his presidency and, specifically, to hold President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi accountable for human rights violations. The family also asked that Biden secure proof of life for Abdel Fattah before departing from Egypt. The last the family heard from him, he said in a letter he planned to stop drinking water on Nov. 6. Several days later, officials at the prison where he is being held informed his mother, Laila Soueif, a London-born math professor at Cairo University, that a “medical intervention” had been conducted on her son “with the knowledge of a judicial authority.” The family fears authorities could be force-feeding him or that he may have already died. Egyptian officials have insisted he is in good care. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One after departing from Egypt, Sullivan said he did “not have an update on [Abdel Fattah’s] condition.” “The Egyptians have one story on this; obviously his family has a totally different story,” he said. “And this is a circumstance where it’s not trust but verify. It’s verify. And we’ve not been able to do that.” For the past week, Soueif has waited outside the prison where Abdel Fattah is being held, asking for a letter or other proof of life from her son. On Thursday, Egypt’s public prosecution office released a statement claiming Abdel Fattah was in good health and had last received a family visit on Nov. 7 — a claim the family vehemently denies. That same day, Abdel Fattah’s lawyer, Khaled Ali, announced he had received written permission to visit Abdel Fattah in prison. When he arrived at the complex outside of Cairo, he was denied entry, he said. Abdel Fattah claimed British citizenship through his mother last year, but Egyptian authorities have refused to allow British consular access to him in prison. His case — and Egypt’s human rights record more broadly — garnered major attention at COP27, which Egypt hoped would raise the country’s profile on the world stage. Several world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, have directly raised Abdel Fattah’s case with Sisi. Amr Adib, the most influential TV presenter in Egypt, read from a letter by Abdel Fattah’s sister, Mona Seif, on his Friday night show, in which she pleads for a pardon for her brother — describing in detail how his absence has distressed his son, Khaled, who is 10. “If [one] believes he should continue in prison, see where your benefit is,” Adib said. “The benefit of this country. If it benefits you to release him, release him.” AMR NABIL/ASSOCIATED PRESS Jailed pro-democracy activist Alaa Abdel Fattah’s mother, Laila Soueif, gives an interview to the Associated Press on Thursday. Abdel Fattah has escalated a food and water strike for his release. “If it were up to me and I could decide, I will look for the benefit of the country,” he said. Families of political prisoners often opt to stay quiet on their relatives’ cases in hopes that behind-the-scenes diplomacy might offer a better shot at securing freedom. Abdel Fattah’s family is long past that point. After his being jailed repeatedly for a decade, his case is now among the most prominent in Egypt. His claim to British dual citizenship added further international interest in his case. Abdel Fattah’s family — and some British lawmakers — have criticized Sunak for not doing more to secure his release or receive an update on his health while on the ground in Egypt. “There is a question about the extent to which trying to resolve these cases diplomatically is best done through public pressure or private engagement,” Sullivan said. “That’s a constant debate, a constant calibration.” Abdel Fattah’s younger sister, Sanaa Seif, who herself has been jailed three times in Egypt, is attending the climate summit. At a news conference last week, a NARIMAN EL-MOFTY/ASSOCIATED PRESS Sanaa Seif, Abdel Fattah’s sister, at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt on Tuesday. He was found guilty of “spreading false news.” pro-government lawmaker confronted her over her activism and was escorted out of the building by U.N. security after he refused to back down — drawing more negative attention to Egypt. By the time Biden arrived Friday, pressure was mounting for the Egyptians to release Abdel Fattah. But activists and observers also feared that the window FALL through which COP27 shone a spotlight on Egypt’s human rights violations was closing. The summit continues for another week, but most world leaders visit only during the first half of the conference. On social media, Egyptians shared memes joking about what might await them after the conference closed, including one of Sisi that said in Arabic, “Just wait until the guests leave” — a reference to a common phrase Egyptian parents might use if their children are misbehaving in front of visitors. After Biden left on Friday, Sullivan told reporters “the president directed his team to work with the Egyptians on a number of specific cases, one of them being [Abdel Fattah’s].” “I can say emphatically that we believe that Alaa Abdel Fattah should be released,” he said. “But in terms of talking through the specifics of our discussions with the Egyptians,” he added, “I’d like to leave those behind closed doors for the moment.” Abdel Fattah’s case has been taken up by the hundreds of climate activists and civil society organizers who flood COP each year, who say they see freedom of speech as intimately connected to their fight for climate justice. Typically, this point of a COP conference would see tens of thousands of marchers parading through the streets of the host city, waving flags, blocking traffic and demanding greater action from negotiators. But Egypt’s tight restrictions on protest meant that this year’s demonstration was much smaller and restricted to the official conference venue known as the blue zone. Heavily monitored by both U.N. and Egyptian security, a few hundred people marched along the central avenue that runs through the conference venue. One cluster of youths sang the chorus to Shakira’s “Africa.” Another group chanted, “Keep it in the ground.” Activists with the Micronesia Climate Change Alliance walked behind a banner that read, “We’re not drowning, we’re fighting.” At the Saturday demonstration that usually marks the midpoint of the conference, his sister Seif was front and center, appearing subdued compared with the raucous crowd.

ED RAM/GETTY IMAGES The street artist Banksy’s latest work: a female gymnast on the wall of a destroyed building in Irpin, Ukraine. Similar works in the region sparked speculation over whether Banksy was in the nation. Banksy strikes a balance between art and protest in Ukraine gra∞ti work BY V ICTORIA B ISSET British street artist Banksy unveiled his latest artwork, this time in Ukraine, putting an end to weeks of speculation about whether he had traveled to the country. The anonymous graffiti artist shared images of a mural depicting a female gymnast balancing on the rubble of a destroyed building on his Instagram page late Friday. However, he gave no information about the piece or his travels — revealing only its location as the town of Borodyanka, in the Kyiv region. The town, which lies about 30 miles to the northwest of the Ukrainian capital, was besieged by Russian forces in the early weeks of the Feb. 24 invasion and subjected to aerial bombardment. It was recaptured by The secretive street artist posted the image on his Instagram page Ukraine in early April. Other murals, similar to Banksy’s signature style, have also appeared in the region, although the artist has not confirmed whether they belonged to him. One, also in Borodyanka, shows a child throwing a man resembling Russian President Vladimir Putin to the floor during a judo match. Putin holds a black belt in the sport and has even starred in an instructional video titled “Let’s Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin.” Another image, this time in the Kyiv suburb of Irpin, shows a rhythmic gymnast wearing a neck brace while performing with a ribbon over a hole on the side of a building. There have been calls for investigations into alleged Russian war crimes in Irpin and neighboring Bucha. This is not the first time that Banksy’s work has been associated with Ukraine following the Russian invasion: In March, a print of one of his most famous antiwar pieces, “CND Soldiers,” was sold, with the proceeds going to a children’s hospital in Kyiv. The artwork was painted near the British parliament in 2003, during protests against the war in Iraq. Despite being one of the world’s best-known street artists, Banksy has managed to maintain his anonymity since he rose to fame in the 1990s.

A20 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 war in ukraine Ukrainians hunt for domestic ‘agents’ working for Russia Intelligence officers comb liberated towns seeking clues on collaborators BY I SABELLE K HURSHUDYAN AND K AMILA H RABCHUK kharkiv region, ukraine — The hunt for Ukrainians helping the Russians led the intelligence investigators to an idyllic village with a house on a hill, where the father of an accused traitor lives. The man knew they wanted to talk about his son, Sergey, who was in jail awaiting trial for allegedly passing information to Russian forces on where Ukrainian soldiers and weapons were located in the city of Chuhuiv — a hotbed of military activity in the northeast Kharkiv region. Ukraine’s main internal security service, the SBU, considers Sergey an agent for one Russia’s special services, perhaps the FSB. “I’ll be honest, boys,” the father told the officers, “in the first days, I was passing coordinates to my guys.” But in a country where loyalties can be twisted, were his guys the Russians or the Ukrainians? Even amid a war in which Moscow has targeted Ukrainian civilians and caused countless deaths, Russia has been able to recruit Ukrainians to aid its invasion. Sometimes it’s through blackmail. Sometimes it’s through payoffs. And sometimes Ukrainians are simply sympathetic to their country’s enemy — be it because of Soviet nostalgia or shared Russian language and ethnic identity. Weeding out those moles and saboteurs is the SBU’s job. Officers from the counterintelligence department of the highly secretive agency recently allowed Washington Post journalists rare access to their daily work, which includes going into recently liberated villages and conducting what’s called “filtration” — interviewing locals about what happened under occupation and who might have collaborated with the Russians. At times, they are so close to the front line they end up fighting alongside Ukrainian soldiers. While the Ukrainian military fights the foreign foe in front of them, the SBU counterintelligence department’s main task remains looking inward for enemies — sometimes even within its own ranks. In July, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky replaced the agency’s director after several senior officers were arrested and branded traitors. One such mole was recently uncovered in the Kharkiv office after he allegedly informed Russian security services about the time and place of a planned meeting between the Kharkiv mayor, the local SBU chief and the commander of Ukraine’s 92nd Mechanized Brigade — a high-value target for an airstrike. “It’s hard to get used to it, even though it’s what we do every day,” said an SBU officer who asked to be identified by his call sign, Advokat, which means “lawyer.” “You think how much damage this activity has caused — how many children, civilians, soldiers, brothers and sisters died and were injured because of it,” Advokat said. “How many were left without families and homes and forced to leave? When you remember that, it motivates you to expose the traitors as much as possible and bring them to justice.” In a room at a downtown Kharkiv detention center, Sergey, the man facing treason charges for revealing the location of Ukrainian military bases, sat on a small stool and fiddled with his hands. Sergey agreed to an interview with The Post on the condition that his surname not be used, but Advokat and prison guards remained in the room. Sergey admitted to sending screenshots of Google maps, with some spots circled, to a Russian cellphone number. Sergey’s family lives in small villages near the town of Balakliya, a part of Kharkiv region that Russian forces occupied in the first days of the war. After his sister told him that Russian soldiers had stolen money from their father, Sergey said, he complained to a neighbor about being worried for his family’s safety. The neighbor gave him a Russian number to call and explain the situation, Sergey said. So, he did. His father’s money was returned a month later, Sergey said. Then Sergey received a message from the Russian number offering to “work together.” Sergey said he refused. “The next day, they wrote that they know where my parents are,” he said. “They said that this is a PHOTOS BY ANASTASIA VLASOVA FOR THE WASHINGTON POST CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Members of Ukraine’s main internal security service, the SBU, walk in a village near Kharkiv on Nov. 1. SBU officers interview residents in a recently liberated town. Sergey, who is facing treason charges for revealing the location of Ukrainian military bases, is interviewed in a detention center on Nov. 2. “You think how much damage this activity has caused — how many children, civilians, soldiers, brothers and sisters died and were injured because of it. How many were left without families and homes and forced to leave? When you remember that, it motivates you to expose the traitors as much as possible and bring them to justice.” Advokat, an officer for Ukraine’s SBU security service war and anything can happen. And like this, they blackmailed me.” The SBU counterintelligence department divides Ukrainians who work with the Russians into different categories. Those like Sergey, recruited while living in territory controlled by Ukraine, are considered agents. The most valuable agents are those with access to information, such as moles within the SBU or other government agencies. They are the hardest to expose, Advokat said, because they understand how the SBU operates and can better cover their tracks. Then there are collaborators: Ukrainians who cooperate with or help the Russians in occupied areas. But even those people are split into their own ranks. Some have pro-Russian views and eagerly aid the occupiers, for example, by revealing who in town served in the Ukrainian military. But there are others Advokat referred to as “invertebrates” — people bending to survive under difficult conditions. When the Ukrainian military recaptures a city or town, SBU officers are the first ones in after them to begin the filtration process — weeding out the collaborators through interviews with locals, checking people’s phones and other means. In early September, after Ukrainian forces expelled Russian troops from most of the Kharkiv region, Advokat and his colleagues entered the city of Kupiansk on the same day as the advancing soldiers. The Russians had used the city as the seat of their regional occupation government, so the SBU officers went first to the abandoned local administration building. Inside, they found a list of people who had worked with the Russian-controlled authorities. The Russians retreated so fast, they had left it behind. “There was so much work that we spent several nights there,” Advokat said. In the Kharkiv region, which borders Russia and is predominantly Russian-speaking, both agents and collaborators are widespread. Many residents traveled to Russia frequently for work or still have relatives living there. “You cannot suspect everyone,” Advokat said. “But over time, a certain professional deformation occurs when you start to suspect everyone.” Sergey’s father was also a suspect. If the son had passed information to the Russians, maybe the father also helped the soldiers occupying his village. Speaking to the man outside his home, Advokat began a preliminary interview. The goal was to persuade him to come with them for a more formal interrogation back at their office. The father is not being identified because of risks to his safety and because he has not been charged. Sergey’s father then told Advokat that he had been passing coordinates of Russian troops to someone in the SBU, even giving Advokat his contact’s first and last name. “How did the Russian forces behave themselves?” Advokat asked him. “You could say they were even respectable,” the father answered, speaking in Ukrainian. “Did they steal from you?” “Yes.” “But you just said they behaved respectably,” Advokat responded, raising his voice. The father then said Russian soldiers made some attempts to rape his wife, which earned another sarcastic response from Advokat about the man’s initial appraisal of the occupiers. He told Advokat that another soldier later came and gave him 50,000 rubles, about $820, and apologized for his colleagues who stole from him. For Advokat, that confirmed an exchange of money took place for Sergey’s services. “How could I have not taken the money?” the man said. “Then they would’ve said that I was against them and would’ve done something else to me.” After his village was liberated by Ukrainian troops in September, Ukrainian forces posted an air-defense system and an M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, known as HIMARS, near his home. The father even kept the shrapnel pieces from an airstrike the Russians delivered then. Coincidentally, it was information on that very type of equip- ment’s whereabouts in Chuhuiv that his son had allegedly passed to the Russians. The father told Advokat that he was a patriot who hated what his son had done and he agreed to come in and give the SBU his statement later in the week. Outside his home, he and his wife allowed the SBU officers to inspect their phones, and Advokat said there didn’t appear to be anything suspicious. But Advokat refrained from making a judgment. There was still more to investigate — with this case and countless others. “I will tell you honestly, he is my son, but he took five years off my life,” the man told Advokat. “Why five years?” Advokat asked. “Well, it’s this war, you know,” he answered. “I can’t stand to go through this again. I don’t want to see this filth. I can breathe freely now — and then I couldn’t breathe, believe me. “I’m sorry,” the father added finally. “May God help you.” An SBU officer talks to the father of Sergey, a man facing treason charges, in Kharkiv on Nov. 1.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ A21 SU war in ukraine In Kherson, residents recall trauma of Russian occupation UKRAINE FROM A1 towns and cities before this one — Bucha, Izyum, Lyman — the early signs were ominous. Many people spoke of arbitrary searches, arrests, torture and disappearances. As a few dozen people danced in a circle, Proskoviya Stepanova, 55, stood anxiously to the side. Her son-in-law, a police officer named Vadim Valereyovich Barinov, 31, has been missing since March 28. Stepanova had gone to the Russian-installed military administration, where they had said not to worry, he would be questioned and let go. She had gone to the detention center, but they said they had no one by that name. Finally, she had gone to the cemetery, where she could smell what she believed were bodies being burned. “I really hope he is alive,” she said. Others described occupation as a nightmare that lasted for months. “Life under occupation was horrible,” said Tetiana Fomina, 58. “It was like living in a concentration camp. We were never free. The Russians had guns on them, and you never knew when they would come to get you.” Fomina said she had cancer and needed chemotherapy but had been unable to get treatment for more than eight months. “At our hospital, in order to get any sort of treatment you’d need to show a Russian passport,” she said. “Otherwise you didn’t have any rights.” Volodymyr Tymar, 18, said Russian soldiers had stripped him down to his underwear on the side of the road to look for pro-Ukrainian tattoos — describing what he said was a common tactic. Two of his friends had been detained, one for a week and the other for a month. They had hardly been fed and were released with shaved heads. “It was like a gulag,” he said. Others described even worse treatment. Valeriy, a 20-year-old military cadet, said Russian military police had searched his house in the spring while he was at work and found his military ID. They then came to his work and arrested him. He was taken to a base run by the FSB, the Russian federal security service, where he was blindfolded, beaten and shocked with electricity for a week as the Russians tried to pry information out of him. “When they took me home, I couldn’t speak for two weeks,” said Valeriy, who did not give his last name. “I thought I was gong to die in there.” While many of those who had suffered remained silent, or told their stories quietly, scores more took to the central square, dancing and laughing. When explosions sounded in the distance — likely outgoing rounds fired toward Russian po- WOJCIECH GRZEDZINSKI FOR THE WASHINGTON POST People gathered in the main square of Kherson city to celebrate their freedom from Russian occupation on Saturday. “We are so happy, despite all our struggles,” said Olga Malakh, 56, who was near tears as she stood in the central square. “We have lived through so much, but we will rebuild.” sitions on the other side of the Dnieper River — few in the crowd seemed to notice. Yet the rumble of munitions was a reminders that the Russians “are not far away from us,” as Nataliya Chornenka said. Chornenka, head of the Korabelny section of Kherson, was among those who managed to flee the Russian occupation and had been asked to delay returning over concerns for their safety. “People are calling all the time, asking, ‘When can we go back?’ ” she said by phone from the central Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia. But “it’s possible there will be shelling and artillery fire,” she said. And “there is no electricity or water, and no communications connections.” Reporters for The Washington Post were among the first wave of journalists to reach Kherson city on Saturday, and everywhere there was evidence of the intense fighting that preceded the Russian surrender. The highway from the nearby city of Mykolaiv was littered with massive craters and burned-out vehicles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address that bomb disposal teams had removed some 2,000 explosive devices in the Kherson region — “mines, trip wires and unexploded ammunition.” In villages on the way to Kherson city, people old and young stood by the roadside to wave and shout greetings at soldiers entering the city. In Kyselivka, itself liberated only on Thursday, two young men stood next to a hand-painted sign pointing the way to the regional capital, smiling and giving thumbs-up. “Glory to our heroes,” another man shouted. A few miles closer to Kherson city, a bridge had been blown up in what appeared to be a failed attempt to stop the Ukrainian advance. At the edge of the city they had been trying to reach for months, young soldiers stopped in front of a “Kherson” sign and took selfies. A few blocks farther into town, billboards showing a smiling blond girl promised that “Russia is here forever.” A group of young men were painting over one of the billboards, rendering the promise — or threat — a laughingstock. Kherson city had been without running water for four days, and without electricity for a week, residents said. Cellphones were useless. So, people at the central square resorted to shouting over the noise of raucous celebrations. “We’ve waited for so long for this to happen,” Andriy Fyedorov, 23, said as he stood on top of a black SUV, waving a Ukrainian flag. “I always believed this would happen,” he said of liberation, “up until the very end.” The mood was mostly festive. Techno music thumped as people danced and sang. Someone handed out candy and ice cream bars. Inside one restaurant, people cooked meat in the dark: a celebratory feast. There was no sign of the occupiers who had terrified many here for the better part of a year. Most people in the square said it had been four or five days since they last saw Russian soldiers, though a few said they had seen Russians as recently as Friday. Whenever it was, the occupiers left quickly. Alina Kanivchenko, 19, said she had heard rumors earlier in the week that the Russians who had been living in a bunker down the street had fled. A friend went to check and found the Russians had left behind bulletproof vests, food and other belongings. As dusk began to fall on the central square, more military vehicles arrived, each one welcomed with cheers, honks and chants of “Z.S.U.,” an acronym for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As the party continued, some people pulled away and headed home, along pitch-black streets, to dwellings without power or water. Among them were three children who were friends from the same neighborhood. They had walked 30 minutes to get to the square. “We wanted to see the military,” said Iryna, 9, a soft-spoken girl in a hat and scarf. Now that it was dark, they were afraid of walking home alone. Yehor, a 12-year-old with a Ukrainian flag around his shoulders, said some people in their neighborhood had generators but his home didn’t. Iryna held a cardboard box full of canned meat, ice cream and chocolate bars that someone had given the children. “The last time we had this,” she said, “was when there was no war.” For some, their joy was all the more intense because of what they had gone through. Iryna Yefimova, 49, said Russian security agents had beaten down her door, hit her husband and 15-year-old son, and taken her prisoner. The Russians detained her for two months, she said, accusing her and a sister in Ukrainian-held territory of assisting the Ukrainian armed forces. When she was finally released, she received no explanation for her ordeal. But that encounter made Saturday all the sweeter. “It’s freedom here,” she said. “I’m happy in my soul,” added her son, Timofey. Yet for others, there would be no happiness until their loved ones came home. When Obozna’s son was detained on Aug. 3, his children saw him led away. “Are you going to give him back?” Dmytro’s 6-year-old son had asked the Russian security agents. Obozna went to the police to report that her son was kidnapped. The police said they would investigate, but instead it was the family that tracked Dmytro down to a detention center. Obozna wasn’t able to call or visit him, but she received word from released prisoners that her son was alive and okay. But on Oct. 20, she heard the prisoners were being taken away. Obozna thought her son — who she said had fought in the Azov Regiment in 2015, perhaps putting him on the radar of the Russians — was now being held in a town across the Dnieper River. But as she spoke, another bystander interjected, saying he believed the prisoners had been taken to Crimea. “We don’t know,” she said, shaking her head.

A22 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Show blurs truth about the queen’s beloved Britannia Season 5 of ‘The Crown’ has ignited a debate over whether late monarch lobbied for yacht repairs london — The much-hyped fifth season of “The Crown” opens with a heavy-handed metaphor weighing approximately 4,000 tons. It’s 1953, and a young Queen Elizabeth II, a month before her coronation, is in Scotland to launch the new royal yacht, Britannia. “I hope this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new queen, will prove to be dependable and constant, capable of weathering any storm,” she declares to great applause. And so the queen and her ship are inextricably linked as the Netflix TV show fast-forwards to 1991, when questions about costly repairs for Britannia are presented in parallel to questions about whether the 65-year-old queen is too old for her role. There is no missing that this is a narrative device in a series now labeled a “fictional dramatization.” But the episode’s release this week has renewed interest in the history of the royal yacht and ignited a debate about how the British monarch interacted with her government. It also happened to coincide with a modernday echo of 1991, as new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, facing a recession, sank plans for a replacement royal yacht. Earth — calling at more than 600 ports in 135 countries and projecting British influence around the world. Britannia was used for state visits and receptions, royal family holidays and honeymoons. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton all spent time on board, as did Boris Yeltsin and Nelson Mandela. When civil war broke out in South Yemen in 1986, Britannia was rerouted to help evacuate civilians. “The Crown” suggests the yacht was the queen’s favorite “home,” cherished even more than Balmoral in the Scottish highlands. Biographers don’t dispute that this could have been true. In his book “Queen of Our Times,” Robert Hardman writes, “There were few places where the Queen would be happier.” Although served by a crew of 220, the ship was a place where the royal family could relax and escape the watchful eye of the public. Hugh Casson, who designed the interior, once recounted, “the overall idea was to give the impression of a country house at sea.” Prince Philip, the queen’s husband, was fascinated with the birds he saw during voyages in the 1950s and even published a book titled “Birds From Britannia.” Britannia, a ‘floating palace’ There is a real Royal Yacht Britannia, and, as in the show, the young queen really did announce its name and christen it with a bottle of Empire wine. (Though not with a self-referential speech.) Britannia was the latest in a series of royal yachts dating back to 1660 and King Charles II. In 44 years of service, the ship sailed more than 1 million nautical miles — equivalent to more than 40 circumnavigations of the A royal lobby for repairs? The controversial part of “The Crown” portrayal centers on whether the queen actively lobbied Prime Minister John Major for the government to pay for extensive repairs — which could have amounted to inappropriate interference in politics by a constitutional monarch. She says in the show: “Here I am, coming to you, prime minister, on bended knee, for the sign-off, but I’m hoping that will be a formality.” BY K ARLA A DAM A gift for home delivery subscribers! PA IMAGES/GETTY IMAGES The new Royal Yacht Britannia sets sail after being launched by Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. New scenes in Netflix’s “The Crown” depict the queen as actively lobbying Prime Minister John Major to fund extensive repairs, which Major himself and royal biographers deny. The character of Major, who was prime minister during a tough recession, responds by suggesting the royal yacht is “something of a luxury” and that spending public money on it while the economy is in the tank would not be good for the government or the royal family. The queen persists, arguing that the yacht is “a central and indispensable part of the way the crown serves the nation” and “a floating, seagoing expression of me.” The queen-ship metaphor is dragged out in a later conversation, when the character of Prince Charles — impatient to be king — tells Major about Britannia: “Sometimes these old things are too costly to keep repairing.” So did any of that actually take place? The real-life Major has called the show’s imagined conversations “a barrel-load of nonsense.” Robert Lacey, a historical consultant on “The Crown,” defended the depiction. He told The Washington Post that the subject of the yacht would have inevitably come up between the queen and the prime minister, who met once a week to discuss matters of state. “She certainly spoke about it to the prime minister,” Lacey said. “Obviously, the royal family would have lobbied for it. The queen did want another royal yacht.” Hardman, the royal biographer, insisted that while the queen no doubt would have been interested in repairs or a replacement, she would not have “leaned on her prime ministers for AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II aboard Britannia in 1972. Britannia was in service for 44 years and was decommissioned in 1997; it’s now a visitor attraction site in Edinburgh, Scotland. money.” In a letter written in 1994, later stored in the National Archives, the queen’s deputy private secretary Kenneth Scott wrote to the cabinet office that “the Queen would naturally very much welcome it if a way could be found of making available for the nation in the 21st century the kind of service which Britannia has provided for the last 43 years.” Scott noted, however, that “the question of whether there should be a replacement yacht is very much one for the government” and “the last thing I should like to see is a newspaper headline saying ‘Queen Demands New Yacht.’ ” The Times of London headline when the letter was uncovered in 2018: “I want a new yacht, Queen told Whitehall in secret letter.” Britannia’s fate Major’s government wasn’t swayed by arguments to repair or renew the ship.

It was hard to justify when air travel was a readily available alternative for royal trips and trade missions. The yacht’s final voyage abroad was to Hong Kong in 1997, when the territory was handed back to China. A few months later, Britannia undertook a farewell tour of Britain, calling at six major ports and blasting her sirens as she passed the shipyard that built her, before returning for a decommissioning ceremony in Portsmouth, England, on Dec. 11, 1997. The ship’s clocks were stopped. The Royal Marines band played. Lacey noted: “The only time the queen was seen to cry was when the royal yacht was decommissioned.” The ship is now a visitor attraction site in Edinburgh, Scotland. On the day of the queen’s state funeral in September, a lone piper played a lament on the deck. A possible replacement The possibility of a replacement yacht gained some traction during the 1997 general election, but the incoming Labour government nixed the idea. More than two decades later, as part of a campaign to promote a reinvigorated “Global Britain” in the aftermath of Brexit, Prime Minister Boris Johnson proposed a new royal yacht. There was a push to name the ship after Prince Philip, who died last year, though it would be more for the government than for the royal family. In Johnson’s vision, the ship would tour the world as a “floating embassy,” where officials would host summits and cement trade deals. It would cost an estimated 250 million pounds to build, plus 30 million pounds a year to run. But once again, the economic climate is not favorable for big yacht projects. The new Sunak administration announced last week that it was terminating the royal yacht plan and would instead procure a surveillance ship that could protect energy cables and other infrastructure. The prime minister’s spokesman said it was “right to prioritize at a time when difficult spending decisions need to be made.”

A24 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST SU . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 As Biden and Xi prepare to meet, diplomats hope old ties help avert a clash Presidential meeting comes with superpowers increasingly at odds M ATT V ISER PETER PARKS/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES Then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, right, and Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, accompanied by their interpreters, walk across the Dujiangyan Irrigation system in Sichuan province in 2011. The two will have their first face-to-face meeting as presidents on Monday. war — the pressure on Biden could hardly be greater. The question, diplomats say, is whether their old connection can be enough to mitigate the bitterness of the rivalry between the superpowers. “We’re in an awful dynamic, and what is being put to the test is whether there is enough of a relationship, enough respect and ability to listen,” said Daniel Russel, a U.S. diplomat who helped plan Biden’s trip to meet with Xi in 2011. “There’s something there. These guys really do know each other. And they have a legacy, a relationship.” He added, “It’s the one thing we have to work with — that is kind of the only thing we’ve got going for us in slowing the death spiral of the U.S.-China relationship.” While Biden arrives at the Group of 20 summit in Bali with new political challenges after democratic elections put Republicans on the verge of a House majority, Xi comes strengthened, just weeks after steamrolling any opposition to extend his autocratic reign by another five years. “Xi Jinping is feeling all-powerful in his internal politics,” said John Delury, a professor of Chinese studies at Seoul’s Yonsei University. “China is rising and feeling stronger and stronger in the relationship, and Xi is going to bring that into his meeting with Biden.” The tension between the two leaders’ identities lent drama to their 2011 encounter and may do so again this week.

Both are institutionalists who have come up in diametrically opposed political systems and are now locked in a battle that Biden has cast as an existential test of democracy versus autocracy. At one time, they referred to each other in glowing terms, but no more. Biden has called his onetime friend “a thug.” Xi recently called Biden “my old friend,” but his government’s statements of hostility toward the United States are unmistakable. Planting the seeds of a relationship The hope of a detente, however frail, comes from a moment shortly after Barack Obama took office, when the White House was eager to get a sense of Xi, who was a rising figure and presumptive leader of China but also an enigma. “Xi was a bit of an unknown commodity — he had not served in the type of post that led to a lot of interaction with Americans,” said Ben Rhodes, who was Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “There was a real benefit in having somebody spend a lot of time with the guy to take his measure, get to know him and set up Obama’s capacity to hit the ground running with Xi when he became president.” Biden had traveled to China only twice before, but he plunged into the task. He and Xi sat for tea and held several dinners, formal and informal. They held lengthy meetings in Beijing and traveled to Sichuan province to tour a centuries-old irrigation project. They visited a school, where Xi signed basketballs and Biden shot hoops (successfully scoring after a half-dozen tries). Biden made news in Beijing when he slipped away for a lunch of pork buns, noodles and cucumbers at a small, family-run restaurant (it was known for its pig intestines, which Biden apparently skipped), joined by his granddaughter Naomi, who had studied Mandarin. While Chinese leaders were criticized for being wealthy and distant, Biden dug into a meal that cost the equivalent of $12. The action won popular coverage on Chinese social media, though it may have discomfited his hosts, with their more aloof style of leadership. But Xi himself quickly showed signs of being a new, less formal kind of Chinese leader, if not quite an American-style politician. “It was clear to me that Xi Jinping was trying to learn more from Biden as a peer, about how you do it, what is it like,” Russel said. “He was about to embark on this incredible project leading China. We had no idea at the time all of the plots and ambitions he had in the back of his mind, but he wanted to know more. This is not a person who had much experience dealing with the world.” When Xi made a reciprocal visit to the United States six months later, Biden toasted him at a State Department luncheon and hosted him for dinner at the Naval Observatory, the vice president’s official residence. Later in the trip, Biden met Xi in Los Angeles, where they toured a school. “What Biden’s trip helped reaffirm for us was that [Xi] is ambitious, he’s a larger personality, and we’re going to have to deal with a different type of Chinese leader,” Rhodes said. “The way Xi behaved on those trips, you could tell he was more of a politician than an apparatchik.” Once Xi became president, Biden’s interactions were more limited as Obama took the primary role. He did travel to China in 2013 — accompanied by his son Hunter, who met with a Chinese business partner during the trip — and spent more than five hours with Xi. Xi continued to confirm early impressions of his bolder, more personal style: Meeting with Obama in 2013 in Rancho Mirage, Calif., he broke out a bottle of hard liquor during a working dinner to toast his fellow president. Exaggerated interactions Like any number of stories Biden tells, those involving him and Xi have grown more elaborate over time. While they unquestionably spent large amounts of time together, Biden has dramatically overstated their engagements. He has repeatedly claimed, for example, that they traveled 17,000 miles together in China and the United States. A White House official said Biden was referring to the total distance he traveled to attend the meetings — not necessarily their actual time together — but even that does not fully add up, according to The Washington Post’s Fact Checker. Biden has also pegged the time they spent together when he was vice president at 24 or 25 hours, and as president, Biden has spent perhaps 10 more hours on the phone with Xi. Yet his estimates of their interactions have ranged far beyond that. In March, he said the two had had “over 36 hours of private meetings.” A month later, he referred to it as “90-some hours of talking or meeting.” About four hours later, he remarked, “I think it’s now up to 70-some hours with Xi Jinping.” Since then, he has cited their meetings on 12 occasions, often alternating between “76 hours” and “78 hours,” although he recently shaved off 10 hours and said they’d spent 68 hours together. Biden also often says he has spent more time with Xi than any other leader has, something that is also probably a stretch. Obama spent significant time with Xi after Biden’s initial visits, and foreign policy analysts say that Russian President Vladimir Putin almost certainly has been with Xi more than any American president. Xi is a primary character in one of the most frequent stories Biden tells. He has recounted it at a General Motors plant in Detroit; an infrastructure event in Rosemount, Minn.; a White House Hanukkah menorahlighting ceremony; an Equal Pay Day event; a gathering of U.S. troops in Poland; and a Hispanic ‘We’re not old friends’ But any bond has frayed over the years as China has taken on a new ambition and aggressiveness under Xi. Biden during his presidential campaign called him a “thug,” albeit “a smart guy.” He has said his counterpart does not have a democratic “bone in his body.” And perhaps mindful of previous presidents who believed they had a rapport with Putin, Biden has dismissed the idea that he and Xi are buddies. “Let’s get something straight — we know each other well, we’re not old friends,” he said in June 2021. “It’s just pure business.” But he has also referred, almost wistfully, to a time when the two engaged in a seemingly genuine effort to understand each other. “We’ve spent an awful lot of time talking to one another, and I hope we can have a candid conversation tonight as well,” Biden said before a virtual meeting in 2021. “Maybe I should start more formally, although you and I have never been that formal with one another.” “I’m very happy to see my old friend,” Xi responded. The politics in both countries have changed radically since 2011, and the two superpowers are far more openly antagonistic. “I think Xi Jinping believes his advantage on any American president is they’ll be gone before he is. He sits atop a system he has total control over,” Rhodes said. “He looks at a Joe Biden and knows, ‘I will be president of China after you are president of the United States.’ ” Xi himself has changed, Rhodes added, which will force a recalibration from Biden. “The Xi Jinping of 2022 is not the Xi Jinping of 2011,” Rhodes said. “That was a guy who was probably trying to ingratiate himself because he was a newcomer. Now he is a guy who thinks he’s the most powerful man in the world, even more powerful than the president of the United States. It’s the difference between the new kid on the block and the bully on the block.” A senior administration official said White House aides expect the meeting to be a “substantive and in-depth conversation” between the two leaders but did not anticipate substantive progress on major issues. Instead, the official said, White House officials view the meeting as an effort for Biden and Xi to understand each other’s priorities and establish a “floor” for the relationship to ensure lines of communication remain open at times of tension. “I’m not willing to make any fundamental concessions,” Biden said during a news conference on Wednesday. “I’ve told him: I’m looking for competition — not conflict,” he added. Leon Panetta, the former defense secretary who knows both men, compared their current interaction to “two boxers circling, really trying to weigh just exactly what the strengths and weaknesses are of the other side.” He added, “I think deep down, both understand that in many ways, there has to be a better way for both countries to deal with one another rather than constantly threatening to destroy one another. In the personality for both of these leaders, there is a greater strain of wanting to see if there’s a way to accommodate the other. But who the hell knows — sometimes events can destroy the best of intentions.” Take The Post shopping Washington Post podcasts go with you everywhere wpost.com/podcasts Politics • History • Culture • More S0108 3x1 Joe Biden shook hands with Xi Jinping that day in 2011 and the two vice presidents walked up a red carpet to the strains of their countries’ national anthems, until Biden paused unexpectedly before a Chinese official with a full head of hair. “If I had hair like yours, I’d be president,” he cracked, breaking the atmosphere of stately diplomacy. Later in the whirlwind trip, Biden made a more serious point: “President Obama and I want to see a rising China. We don’t fear a rising China.” More than a decade later, the two men are slated to meet again after Biden arrives Sunday night in Bali, their first face-to-face meeting since Biden became president and Xi consolidated his position as the strongest Chinese leader in recent memory. Biden certainly has not acquired the thick mane of the Chinese diplomat. His administration now very much does fear a rising China. And U.S. officials are hoping that — somehow — the personal connection the two men forged more than a decade ago can soften the often hostile, sometimes volatile and potentially dangerous standoff between two global behemoths. The Biden-Xi meeting is perhaps the most consequential encounter of Biden’s six-day foreign trip that will circumnavigate the globe, and it comes at the fulcrum of Biden’s presidency. He departed just after voters delivered a verdict on the first two years of his tenure, giving him better-than-expected results but possibly costing Democrats control of at least one chamber of Congress.

In the anecdote, Biden recalls being with Xi on the Tibetan Plateau when Xi asked him, “Can you define America for me?” Biden says he responded, “I can, in one word: possibilities.” Telling the story in July 2021, Biden elaborated, “Possibilities — it’s what America is built on. It’s one of the reasons why we’re viewed sometimes as being somewhat egotistical. We believe anything is possible in America.” Aides who were with Biden say that they do not recall that precise exchange but that it would have been in keeping with the leaders’ open-ended conversations meant to probe each other’s world views. “They were unburdening themselves and trying to explain and convey what kind of a country are we, what do we believe?” Russel said. Biden worked to draw out Xi, quoting William Butler Yeats or offering an aphorism he said came from his father: “The only thing worse than war is unintended war.”
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ A25 RE Biden works to assuage allies about U.S. leadership as Asia tour begins President visits Egypt and Cambodia to kick off week-long overseas trip AND BY M ATT V ISER Y ASMEEN A BUTALEB phnom penh, cambodia — President Biden arrived here Saturday, the second stop of a week-long foreign trip seeking to reassure the world community that, no matter the political disruptions back home, the United States can still be a reliable global leader. On the heels of a midterm election that gave him betterthan-expected results — yet still could cost his party full control of Congress when final results are in, complicating his goals — he has used both appearances so far to press that theme and rally other nations. During a speech in Egypt at the COP27 climate conference, Biden touted the United States as the global pacesetter in fighting climate change. And in Phnom Penh for a summit of Southeast Asian nations, he immediately began trying to unite other nations to provide a counterweight to the rising economic and military threat that China poses. One of the president’s enduring challenges, however, has been to persuade his fellow leaders that former president Donald Trump’s disruption of American foreign policy was an aberration, not a long-lasting shift. Hours into his presidency, Biden moved to rejoin the Paris climate accords that Trump had left, and after voters last week rendered a verdict on his first two years in office, he attempted to signal that his declaration of renewed American leadership was not in jeopardy. Biden hopes to tamp down any notion that GOP hard-liners led by Trump, who may announce another presidential campaign within days, could gain power and torpedo any promises his administration makes on climate change. In addition, he’s working to unify the world against Russian aggression and show that the American commitment to KEVIN LAMARQUE/REUTERS Biden and other leaders at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on Saturday. Biden called the summit “the heart of my administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy.” Ukraine’s cause isn’t in jeopardy despite possible Republican control of Congress. As he began meetings with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, he said he would address “the biggest issues of our time,” including energy, climate, health and national security, as well as the impacts that nations here are feeling from Russia’s war in Ukraine. He called ASEAN “the heart of my administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy.” The president also said he hoped to “defend against the significant threats against rulebased order and threats to the rule of law,” a seeming reference to China. Before a meeting with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Biden thanked Sen for his “clear condemnation” of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Still, even Biden wouldn’t have had to look far for a reminder of the uncertainty presented by domestic politics: During some 20 hours of travel on Air Force One over the past few days, the televi- PETER DEJONG/ASSOCIATED PRESS An attendee records Biden speaking at the COP27 U.N. Climate Summit on Friday in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. sion screens were tuned into CNN’s blanket coverage of election results. One of the big tests will come during the president’s third and final stop Monday in Bali, when he meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Group of 20 summit. White House officials said they do not expect significant progress on major issues and characterized the meeting as an effort to keep an open line of communication between the two countries. It will be the two leaders’ first face-to-face meet- ing since Biden took office. While some Democrats feared a midterm wipeout would weaken him on the world stage, top White House aides say the relatively successful outcome should be a boost. “The results from Tuesday show that the American people are sending him out to the world stage in a very strong position,” Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, told reporters ahead of the trip. Biden has often noted that he has faced skepticism abroad after Trump’s stormy tenure, citing a meeting of the leaders from the world’s top seven economies early in his presidency. “I said, ‘America is back,’ ” Biden recounted. “And one of the leaders looked at me and said, ‘For how long?’ ” “He wants to reassure people, but those reassurances are very hard based on the political situation we’re in. And I think the Europeans are right to question how long we’re back,” said Samantha Gross, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who specializes in climate and energy. Rosa Balfour, director of the think tank Carnegie Europe in Brussels, said Wednesday that while the topic of American reliability among European partners “remains a pertinent question,” concerns were soothed a bit following the midterm election results. “Everybody was very, very, very worried in European capitals,” Balfour said. “The fact that it looks like there hasn’t been a [Republican] wave … actually is very promising.” Yet some anxiety remains. And while the temperature has been lowered, she said, it’s clear to those watching from afar that the fever has not broken. “Perhaps there hasn’t been a sufficient sense of urgency that Europe needs to prepare for a hostile, maybe even more hostile than Trump, president in 2024,” she said. Biden’s stop at the seaside resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula was meant to be a visible reminder of the importance his administration places on climate change. He had not initially planned to attend, but after a lengthy debate with advisers he reoriented his schedule. Before his speech there, Biden met with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi, who is hosting the conference and has faced criticism for a dismal human rights record. The Biden administration decided in September to withhold $130 million in security aid for Egypt for the second year because of a range of concerns on that issue, including arbitrary arrests, excessive pretrial detentions and torture by government jailers. Political and media freedoms have also been restricted under Sisi. Biden and Sisi held an extensive discussion about human rights, according to White House advisers, and Biden raised specific cases and pressed for the release of pro-democracy activist Alaa Abdel Fattah. “I can say emphatically that we believe that Alaa Abdel Fattah should be released,” Sullivan told reporters on Air Force One following the stop in Egypt. He noted the “constant debate” over whether a diplomatic resolution is best pursued through “public pressure or private engagement” and then opted for the latter. “In terms of talking through the specifics of our discussions with the Egyptians, I’d like to leave those behind closed doors for the moment,” Sullivan said. One of Biden’s goals during his visit to ASEAN is to signal to key allies like Japan and South Korea that the United States is supporting them as China gains more economic power. “It is certainly the case that the countries of the region do not want conflict or confrontation between the major powers,” Sullivan said. “But they also very much want U.S. presence — forward-deployed presence in the region. And the reason they want that is because they see the United States as an important anchor of peace and stability.” “There is no doubt that the president comes in with a meaningful value proposition to the rest of the region that says, ‘The United States is a resident Pacific power. We played a critical role in the past. We play a critical role today. And we have every intention of doing so in the future,’ ” Sullivan said. NEVER CLEAN YOUR ® GUTTERS AGAIN!

A26 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Protesters arrested in Iran face a justice system stacked against them BY M IRIAM B ERGER A young Iranian man accused of lighting a trash can on fire during a protest could face death row for “waging war against God.” Two female journalists who helped break the story of Mahsa Amini — the 22-year-old woman who died in the custody of Iran’s “morality police” — have been in jail since late September, accused without evidence of being CIA agents. In a hearing without his lawyer, a 22-year-old protester was sentenced to death for committing “corruption on earth,” his mother said in an online plea. After an uproar, the judiciary denied that a sentence had been issued. This is what justice looks like in Iran, where the trials of protesters, bystanders and chroniclers of the current uprising have begun. There is little expectation of due process in a judicial system dominated by the security services and stacked against the accused. More than 15,000 Iranians have been arrested and several hundred killed in nearly two months of protests, the activist news agency Hrana estimates. The demonstrations that began in response to the alleged police killing of Amini have cascaded into a broad movement against the country’s clerical leaders. Authorities have demanded harsh punishments for protesters, whom they call “rioters,” and have sought to blame the unrest on foreign powers. Some of the detained are released with a fine. Others are tried in a criminal court. But political prisoners typically face the feared revolutionary courts, a parallel system created to protect the Islamic republic, said Hadi Enayat, a political sociologist specializing in Iranian law. The revolutionary courts are notorious for “egregious violations of due process,” said Tara Sepehri Far of Human Rights Watch. The state “uses the trials as another element of shaping their narrative about the protests.” In late October, Iran’s judiciary said it had indicted about 1,000 people in Tehran and would hold public trials in the coming weeks. As in the past, rights groups OBTAINED BY ASSOCIATED PRESS Iranians in Tehran protest the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in early October after she died in the custody of Iran’s “morality police.” More than 15,000 Iranians have been arrested and several hundred killed in nearly two months of demonstrations. expect they will be sham trials, relying on fabricated evidence and confessions made under duress or torture. Detainees have been accused of committing violence and killing Iranian security forces with little or no evidence, they say. How these trials unfold could offer hints about Tehran’s political calculus — whether it will continue with its crackdown to contain the protests, or further escalate its repression in an effort to stamp them out completely. There is debate within Iran’s security circles, said Ellie Geranmayeh, a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, over whether “to shock and awe the streets to scare them away from protesting,” or prioritize “containing the threat without having to resort to the mass executions that we saw in the 1980s” during post-revolution purges. “I think the system is sort of stuck between what is the right approach,” she said. This tension broke through on Nov. 5 when hard-line lawmakers, who dominate Iran’s parliament, issued a statement calling on the judiciary to “deal decisively” with the “instigators of recent riots” and punish “enemies of God” — a legal charge that can carry the death penalty. Iranians were outraged. Three days later, the parliamentary spokesperson backtracked, claiming that “Western media” had misconstrued the lawmakers’ words; the harshest punishments — which could include the death penalty — would be reserved for those who “spilled blood,” he said. Iran is one of the world’s leading executioners. At least 314 peo- ple were executed in 2021, according to Amnesty International, though the true figure is probably higher. Death sentences issued for political prisoners are sometimes commuted or never carried out, though the threat remains. Iran’s legal system is based on a fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law. Corruption and abuse are rampant in the criminal courts, though years of international advocacy have led to some incremental reforms, said Hossein Raisi, a former lawyer in Iran and now a human rights professor at Carleton University in Ottawa. But ultimately the “Iranian judiciary system is the ‘supreme leader’ judiciary system,” he said, referring to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the head of Iran’s theocratic government. Iran’s first supreme leader, OFFERING EXPERT ROOFING SOLUTIONS FOR OVER 35 YEARS Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, created the revolutionary courts as a stopgap system to purge opponents after ousting the country’s ruler, the shah, in 1979. They have since become a key feature of the Islamic republic, allowing regime loyalists to control the levers of justice. The revolutionary courts work closely with the intelligence wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, the supreme leader’s parallel security force. The revolutionary courts rely on one judge, instead of the panel of judges used in criminal courts. Judges are typically clerics or have been trained at a state-run university. Political prisoners have limited or no access to their lawyers and cannot see the alleged evidence against them. The Intelligence Ministry and the IRGC’s intelligence wing are often involved in interrogations and evidence collection, in violation of Iranian law, said Raisi. But during times of unrest, he said, authorities drop all pretense of following criminal procedure. “Unfortunately, everything that happens in the room is based on police or IRGC or regular intelligence officers,” he said. “When they don’t want to listen to people, they actually ban all kinds of the rights of the accused,” he added. Before leaving Iran, Raisi was part of a small and ever-shrinking group of independent lawyers who take on human rights cases and represent political prisoners. These attorneys are under constant pressure and threat of arrest, said Raisi. When protests break out, they offer legal aid to families of detainees and often take on cases pro bono. In recent weeks, 24 lawyers have been arrested, according to Hrana. During the 2009 Green Movement — when millions of Iranians protested electoral fraud — Raisi asked other lawyers in his hometown of Shiraz to volunteer. Only seven did. But in recent weeks, more than 40 lawyers in the southwestern city have offered to take on cases of detained protesters, he said. “This is so beautiful,” Raisi said. But as demonstrations continue, and arrests increase, it will be difficult for lawyers to keep up. Raisi said judicial authorities effectively “copy and paste” charges, “like an application for all branches across the country.” Common charges have included propaganda and illegal gatherings against the state. The revolutionary courts were key to Khamenei’s repression of the Green Movement. After a violent crackdown in 2009, hundreds of protesters, including key activists and reformist politicians, were tried, and several people were executed. The courts were also used for protesters after periods of unrest in 2017 and 2019. By controlling the legal system, and other institutions, Iran’s leadership has “decapitated the reform movement,” said Enayat, the political sociologist. “People have completely lost faith in reforming the system, as it hasn’t worked,” he said FINANCING AVAILABLE amerhomeco.com Locally owned and operated Roofing, Solar & Roof Tune-ups & Additional Exterior Services Schedule your free estimate today. 855-458-2470 199 $ * PREMIUM ROOF TUNE UP OFFER MHIC# 31337-03 DPOR 2705166638
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ A27 RE SUNDAY Opinion Why the crypto bubble has finally imploded T BY JAMES HOHMANN In Wisconsin, Tony Evers made a virtue of being dull A DAM L ASHINSKY he bursting of the cryptocurrency bubble will end the way other speculative crazes have concluded: in a trail of wreckage across companies, continents — and unlucky investors. Crypto has had a horrible year. We saw the terra “stablecoin” wipeout in May, the unraveling of the FTX trading exchange this past week and the shriveling of trading in nonfungible tokens all year long. Small-time investors already have fled, their grubstakes or life savings decimated. Well-heeled venture capitalists, badly burned by each successive bust-up, will wash their hands and move on to the next shiny object. The side-hustling cryptoambassadors (insert any big name from professional sports here, please) will slip back backstage. And regulators, as is their wont, will finally issue their overdue rules, long after the damage is done. There’s a critical difference with crypto, though, compared with past bubbles: It had virtually no intrinsic merit. Before and after their bubble burst in the mid-1600s, tulips were still pretty flowers. American railroads begot massive (and positive) change well before the Panic of 1873 and are still vital almost 150 years later. The promise of email in the 1990s — and its dot-com derivatives — was real and epochal. Even badly abused subprime mortgages were a lamentable innovation on hard-to-get loans for home purchasers — a market that survived the financial crisis of 2008. Crypto was supposed to have all sorts of uses. None of this has come true at any scale worth bragging about. “Crypto,” a still poorly understood catchall phrase for digital currencies and other securities not controlled by a government, won’t be able to make the same claim. Crypto was supposed to be a haven in inflationary times, the way hard-metal commodities such as gold often are. Yet confections like bitcoin and ethereum have plummeted as inflation has skyrocketed. They promised a way to store value. Clearly, they do not. More egregiously, crypto was supposed to have all sorts of other uses, from easy cross-border remittance to pegging a value for newly created forms of digital art. None of this has come true at any scale worth bragging about. In our system, entrepreneurs, and the investors who back them, provide a valuable service by taking risks on unproven ideas. Without them, we wouldn’t have Apple or Google — or Post-it notes. But we now know the crop of swaggering financiers who dreamed up the new category of investments casually known as web3 have been kidding themselves. A common justification for these investments has been that they captured the fascination of software coders and entrepreneurs, leading to the dreamy conclusion that a real market for digital assets of all kinds was emerging. What emerged instead is another example of one of the worst ills that afflicts Sand Hill Road, the heart of Silicon Valley’s venture-capital industry: confirmation bias. The enthusiasm the VCs mistook for an investment thesis was often just the result of too much cash chasing too few truly good ideas. Nerds aren’t stupid: If someone offers them oodles of money to chase a fad, they’ll start coding. Hence, crypto. The past 15 years or so of venturecapital investing can be in many ways explained by the low-interest-rate environment in which it exploded. With endowments and pension funds (and many an ordinary multimillionaire) unable to earn safe returns in bonds for more than a decade, their money managers opted instead to place riskier bets. Consider the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Canada’s third-largest. Three years ago, it set up a special fund to make venture-capital-stage investments. It invested $95 million in FTX, a leading crypto trading platform. On Thursday, it noted that “not all of the investments in this early-stage asset class perform to expectations.” It added that its FTX investment — presumably none of which it will ever see again — represents a tiny percentage of overall investments. For years now, the folly of such investment strategies translated, essentially, into free money for entrepreneurs. It didn’t take a genius to spin up a company when the cost of capital was next to zero. Now, that era is over. Higher interest rates will allow pension funds such as the one in Ontario to seek safer investments. As a result, the flow of funds to VCs and start-ups will slow. Only the best companies and VCs will emerge on the other side.

The ritual of the concession speech — tested by the election denialism of 2020 — is a powerful and remarkable part of our democratic system. Here, we offer a sampling from around the midterms. Tim Ryan Democratic nominee for Senate from Ohio “I had the privilege to concede this race to J.D. Vance. Because the way this country operates is that you lose an election, you concede. You respect the will of the people. We can’t have a system where if you win, it’s a legitimate election, and if you lose, someone stole it. That is not how we can move forward in the United States. . . . “I’m concerned that this country, as we move forward, it may get worse before it gets better. But we need good people who are going to honor the institutions of this country.” Tudor Dixon Republican nominee for governor of Michigan “I called Governor [Gretchen] Whitmer this morning to concede and wish her well. Michigan’s future success rests not in elected officials or government, but all of us. It is incumbent upon all of us to help our children read, support law enforcement and grow our economy. Thank you to our volunteers and supporters for working so hard to forge a better Michigan. We came up short, but we will never stop fighting for our families.” Mehmet Oz Republican nominee for Senate from Pennsylvania “This morning, I called John Fetterman and congratulated him. I wish him and his family all the best, both personally and as our next United States Senator. . . . “We are facing big problems as a country, and we need everyone to put down their partisan swords and focus on getting the job done. With bold leadership that brings people together, we can create real change. As a Doctor, I always do my best to help others heal. That’s why I ran for Senate. I hope we begin the healing process as a nation soon.” Yesli Vega Republican nominee for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District “We gave it our all but came up a little short last night. . . . I want to congratulate the Congresswoman on a hard fought win.” Paul LePage Republican nominee for governor of Maine “I accept the results of yesterday’s election. I continue to have grave concerns for the people of Maine over the need for home heating oil relief and efforts to handle inflation. I urge the Governor to take action.” Scott Jensen Republican nominee for governor of Minnesota “We would have loved to have been victorious. We thought we should be victorious. We thought we spoke to the issues that could really be affected by this election. But in victory, I think humility would have been our choice. . . . But I have to speak to loss. . . . “I thank all of you. Tim Walls is the governor for four more years. . . . “Republicans quite frankly, we didn’t have a red wave. It was a blue wave. And we need to stop. We need to recalibrate. We need to ask ourselves, Okay, what can we learn from this, what can we do better, how do we go forward?” Stacey Abrams Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia “It is good to be here in this moment, surrounded by your love and support. And let me begin by offering congratulations to Gov. Brian Kemp. . . . “And tonight we must be honest. Even though my fight, our fight, for the Governor’s Mansion may have come up short, I’m pretty tall. This is a moment where despite every obstacle, we are still standing strong and standing tall, and standing resolute, and standing in our values. . . . I am suspending my campaign. I may no longer be seeking the office of governor, but I will never stop doing everything in my power to ensure that the people in Georgia have the choice to run government.” Nan Whaley Democratic nominee for Ohio governor “This is obviously not the result we were hoping for. A few minutes ago, I called Governor [Mike] DeWine to congratulate him and wish him and Fran good luck in another term. “Even when we don’t get the outcome we hope for, it’s vital that we respect our democracy.” Max Della Pia Democratic nominee for New York’s 23rd Congressional District “While I regret not being able to serve you in Congress, I can assure you the effort to run was worth it. It is always important to provide the voters a choice, even when the odds are against you. . . . “The results of today’s election will have consequences. My hope is that voters will not give up on the election process or our democracy but will rather recommit themselves to responsible government motivated by public service rather than by party, money, power, and ego. In the future, I hope we will be led by our better angels and principles, so that our country will truly become one nation indivisible, with the fulfilled promise of liberty and justice for all.” Pam Anderson Republican nominee for Colorado secretary of state “Our message of professionalism and removing partisan politics from the office couldn’t be more important in this time. . . . Our elections serve as a battle of ideas, not a battle with the referees. . . . “Elections officials and administrators, Republicans, Democrats, unaffiliated, all across our state and across our nation are your bipartisan friends and community members. The vast majority of them checked their partisanship at the door and performed their functions with integrity and purpose and duty and obligation.” Sean Patrick Maloney Incumbent Democratic nominee for New York’s 17th Congressional District “I don’t like to lose, but my opponent won this race. He won it fair and square, and that means something. So I’m going to step aside, and I had a good run.” Pat Spearman Democratic nominee for mayor of North Las Vegas, Nev. “The voters of North Las Vegas have made a decision. I respect that decision." Joy Hofmeister Democratic nominee for governor of Oklahoma “We have planted seeds all across this state to get back to a place of civility, back to a place where we unite.” John Moss Incumbent, nonpartisan nominee for Virginia Beach City Council District 9 “I fully expect Mr. [Joash] Schulman to be the certified winner of the District 9 seat on the City Council when the yet-uncounted votes are counted.” Bob Stefanowski Republican nominee for governor of Connecticut “Connecticut gets it right, we had a good election, a fair election and now we have to come together to get it done.” Toni Boucher Republican nominee for Connecticut state Senate “Going into it, you knew that it was always going to be an uphill battle, but the process of good government and involvement is key.” milwaukee isconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) won reelection Tuesday by 3.4 points. That’s a landslide in a state where four of the past six presidential contests were decided by less than one point and the first time since 1990 that a Badger State governor was reelected from the same party that controlled the White House. For a Democrat, it’s the first time since 1962. Evers, a former schoolteacher who derives pleasure from euchre and polka music, was rewarded by independents for his stalwart defense of voting and abortion rights. “As it turns out,” Evers said in his victory speech, “boring wins.” The race was a bit more complicated than that. Republican challenger Tim Michels, who won the August primary because of an endorsement from former president Donald Trump, promised to abolish the bipartisan Wisconsin Election Commission, sign nearly 20 restrictive voting bills that Evers had vetoed and opened the door to not certifying the 2024 presidential results. “Republicans will never lose another election in Wisconsin after I’m elected governor,” Michels declared at a campaign stop on Oct. 31. Evers said some Democratic strategists suggested that he not talk about democracy on the trail because the term is too broad and abstract, but he emphasized voting rights anyway. “I think Wisconsinites get it,” he said. The governor ran as a check and balance on GOP extremism, boasting that he vetoed a record 126 bills over the past two years, and warned that Michels would be a rubber stamp for a Republican legislature. The governor ran as a check and balance on GOP extremism, boasting that he vetoed a record 126 bills over the past two years. Independents made up 30 percent of the electorate, according to exit polling, and Evers won them by six points. Several said during interviews that they are uncomfortable with one-party rule at the federal or state level. Gerrymandering has made it virtually impossible for Democrats to win control of the state Assembly or Senate. Abortion also mattered: An 1849 state law banning the procedure was dormant until the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in June. With providers fleeing to Illinois, Evers offered clemency to anyone convicted of providing care and called special sessions to (unsuccessfully) pressure Republicans to update the law. Michels said he was unapologetically prolife and that the 1849 ban mirrored his position. Later, he suggested he would sign a bill to add exemptions for rape and incest. This issue drove a massive turnout spike in liberal Dane County, home to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Evers won about 16,000 more votes from the county than in 2018. Statewide, about one-third of voters identified abortion as their top issue, and Evers won 84 percent of them. According to exit polls, only 8 percent of the electorate said abortion should be illegal in all cases while 62 percent said it should be legal in most or all cases. Evers won women by 13 points. Democrats benefited from Trump fatigue. While nearly 54 percent of voters disapproved of Biden, 58 percent held an unfavorable view of the former president. In fact, exit polling shows about 30 percent said opposing Trump was a reason for their vote, which is stunning when you consider that he hasn’t been president for two years. Trump stumped with Michels in August, and Evers’s aides prayed that he’d return to the state for a pre-election rally. They didn’t get that lucky, but they said later that they were helped in the suburbs by Trump teasing his plans for 2024 the night before the election. But trashing Trump didn’t play well everywhere, so the campaign tailored its message by region. The campaign produced more than 2,000 ads all targeted locally. Evers didn’t run a single ad focusing on abortion on broadcast television in some north central counties, for example, while Madison received the most prochoice content. Each of the 72 counties had bespoke communications that discussed how many local businesses Evers had helped. The governor spent the final days of the race barnstorming around Wisconsin on a yellow school bus, just as he did when he toppled Scott Walker in 2018. He boasted of repaving more than 5,000 miles of highway since taking office. “The roads are smoother,” he said. Highway maintenance — boring? Perhaps to some. But there’s nothing boring about the results.
A28 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE ABCDE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 MICHAEL DE ADDER AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER EDITORIALS LETTERS TO TH E ED ITOR letters@washpost.com WASHINGTON POST STAFF ILLUSTRATION/IMAGES BY GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCK How Congress can make the lame-duck session a mighty one 3. Protect democracy at home Another overriding priority should be passing a legislative response to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, which President Donald Trump spurred in part on the basis of his tendentious interpretation of an obscure 1887 law on procedures for counting electoral votes. That law should be amended to make clear the vice president has no authority to reject states’ electoral votes, as Mr. Trump was pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to do. Before Jan. 6, Mr. Trump pressed state and local officials to overturn the votes in their jurisdictions. Reformers should empower federal courts to oversee these officials, putting a check on those who would upend the democratic process. I agree with Philip Kennicott’s Nov. 7 front-page Critic’s Notebook essay, “Stop building museums on the National Mall. Extend it.” When Congress established the Reserve — national park land on the crossaxis of the National Mall from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial and the White House to the Jefferson Memorial — under the Commemorative Works Act in 2003, it considered that area a “completed work of civic art” in which no new memorials or buildings would be built. The recommendation to situate the American Women’s History Museum and the National Museum of the American Latino in the Reserve directly conflicts not only with the 2003 act but also with the 2020 law authorizing those museums, which states that they “shall not be located in the Reserve.” During my 22 years with the legislative affairs office of the National Park Service, I saw exception after exception made by Congress to build memorials or buildings within the Reserve to mollify one group or another. Unfortunately, I have seen few members willing to defend the Reserve, as political expediency continues to win out time after time over the intent of the law. A former deputy director of the National Park Service once lamented that our nation’s capital was becoming like so many of the major cities of Europe, where buildings and memorials are stacked one after another, eliminating green space and scenic vistas. It appears Washington is headed in the same direction. Our national park lands, our nation’s capital and the American people deserve better than this. Donald J. Hellmann, Annandale The writer is vice chair of the Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks and former assistant director of legislative and congressional affairs for the National Park Service. About one-third of the Senate is co-sponsoring the election reform bill What the media got wrong Debt limit, Russian aggression and protecting democracy should be the top priorities. A CONGRESS that remains in office between the election and formal installation of its successor is a peculiar American phenomenon. Known as “lame ducks,” because of the weakness that operating under an expiring mandate connotes, the Senate and House nevertheless retain lawmaking power between November and January. In fact, lame-duck Congresses can gain freedom of action if enough members on their way out feel they have less to lose politically — and potentially more to gain in the judgment of history — from taking tough votes. Past lame-duck Congresses have stretched their wings, passing such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1875 and the Privacy Act of 1974. That is how the current 117th Congress should see itself when it returns to Washington. The country faces crucial unfinished business, which the next Congress seems less likely to handle, or handle appropriately. Though its composition remains unsettled because of still-undecided races, the probability is that Republicans will narrowly control the House; therefore, divided government is likely to be back for the last two years of President Biden’s term, with the GOP’s right fringe holding more leverage in a House where their party has only a sliver of a majority. By contrast, the current House and Senate still include outgoing moderate and pragmatic GOP lawmakers who might be willing to work with Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) appears to recognize the imperative, telling his colleagues in September that they “should be prepared for an extremely, underline extremely, busy agenda in the last two months of this Congress.” Here are the priorities he and other Democratic leaders should set: 1. Prevent the risk of a catastrophic default Republicans have already signaled the intention of their hard-liners to hold the national debt limit hostage for spending cuts or other Democratic concessions. Republicans put the nation’s full faith and credit in doubt this way in 2011, thwarted only by a tenuous last-minute compromise that Mr. Biden — then Barack Obama’s vice president — brokered with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.). The incoming GOP congressional delegation includes an extreme right faction larger — and more radical — than the one that almost crashed the economy in 2011. “A default by the U.S. government would be substantially worse than the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, devastating global markets and the economy,” Beth Ann Bovino, U.S. chief economist of Standard & Poor’s, predicted earlier this year. Democrats should take these risks off the table by raising the debt limit in the lame duck, by whatever means necessary. If too few Republicans are willing to help, Democrats should use the reconciliation process, which allows them to pass certain types of legislation through the Senate with a bare majority vote, to increase the debt limit substantially. This would eat up precious floor time in the final weeks before the 117th Congress goes out of business. But there could hardly be a more urgent matter than preventing the global financial instability that could result from even partial U.S. debt default. A dangerous game of debt limit chicken Fears of a government default in July 2011, spiked interest rates on some U.S. debt, raising federal borrowing costs and rattling markets, before Congress struck a last-minute deal. 0.16% Yield on one-month U.S. Treasury securities 0.12 0.08 0.04 0 0.01% April May 2011 Source: St. Louis Fed June July Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. THE WASHINGTON POST 2. Fight Russian aggression Congress should lock in economic and military aid for Ukraine while supporters — in both parties — still dominate Capitol Hill. To Russian President Vladimir Putin’s undoubted delight, U.S. aid has faced bipartisan skepticism in recent days, as some on both the Democratic left and Trumpian Republican right questioned the need to spend billions helping that country defend itself against Russia. In fact, the costs of stopping Mr. Putin’s attempt to redraw the map by force are far smaller than the costs of letting him get away with it. Failing to face Kremlin aggression would encourage more of the same, and the United States has already seen how such conflict can inflict pain on average Americans. An aid cutoff would be particularly perverse at the very moment Ukrainian forces have just pushed Russian forces ABCDE FREDERICK J. RYAN JR. Publisher and Chief Executive Officer Leave the Reserve alone This Congress supports Ukraine In May, the House passed a $40 billion Ukraine aid bill. But growing opposition was already visible; 57 Republicans voted against it. The next Congress is likely to be more skeptical.

Both Mr. Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have expressed optimism that a new package — still of undetermined size — can be secured. Mr. Biden also noted Wednesday that, despite claims to the contrary, he has not provided Ukraine a blank check, rejecting weapons requests he deems imprudent. A new aid package should be as substantial, in both dollars and duration, as possible. The critical legislation likely needs 10 Senate Republicans to help it pass. It has 15 GOP co-sponsors. Supporters Democratic 17 Republicans 15 Source: Congress.gov Needed to pass 60 THE WASHINGTON POST Mr. Trump also tried to exploit vague statutory language that gives Congress power to overturn electoral votes resulting from a “failed election” in a state or which were not “regularly given.” This was doomed from the start, given the Democratic majority at the time — though an appalling 140 Republican representatives and seven senators lent their votes to the effort. This risk having been averted — but also highlighted — lawmakers must make such a procedural coup less likely, clarifying and narrowing the basis for lawmakers to object to states’ electoral slates. And they should raise the minimum number of votes in Congress to initiate and approve such a move. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) hashed out a measure to accomplish these purposes earlier this year. The bill enjoys bipartisan support from 30 Senate co-sponsors, including Mr. McConnell. Mr. Schumer and Ms. Pelosi should expend whatever legislative time required to finalize and pass it in the lame duck. 4. Don’t let a wish list get in the way of realism Democrats have a long list of other goals: a bipartisan bill guaranteeing same-sex marriage rights; a permitting reform bill that would ease construction of clean-energy infrastructure; confirming more Biden-picked judges; action on the child tax credit. But enough Republicans are interested in permitting reform and perhaps even the child tax credit that they could pass in some form in future Congresses. Democratic leaders should focus on objectives that are not only most necessary but also stand their best — or only — chance of passage during the lame-duck session. If the 117th Congress devotes its final days to bolstering the nation’s democracy and redoubling efforts to oppose Russian aggression, while averting unnecessary risk to the global economy, history will remember this lame duck as an especially mighty one.

Sarah Zeigler, Dumfries Banning diesel in Maryland Regarding the Nov. 9 news article “California moves toward banning diesel big rigs”: Maryland might follow suit by adopting California’s Advanced Clean Fleets regulation. Maryland’s bill, the ZeroEmission Truck Act (H.B. 829, S.B. 687), was introduced last year by Del. Sara N. Love (D-Montgomery) and Sen. Ronald N. Young (D-Frederick). It did not pass, primarily because truck manufacturers and drayage companies said it was too aggressive and did not provide enough opportunity for the transition to electric.

The technology exists, with 30 manufacturing companies producing zero-emission trucks and 100 models on the market. With prices predicted to drop for electric vehicles in the next few years and minimal maintenance required as compared with diesel and gas, the market value is good. The gradual introduction of these vehicles will allow for refinement and sales at competitive rates. California and Maryland are overcome with diesel trucks and delivery vans in Hispanic and Black neighborhoods that are primarily low-income. Warehouses line communities as demands for consumer goods skyrocket and elevate the need for big rigs. Maryland’s bill would require electric trucks to be dispatched first to communities deluged by air and climate pollution from diesel exhaust. Maryland can significantly reduce premature deaths, asthma, lung cancer and heart attacks, permitting easy breathing by joining California in its quest to eliminate truck and bus carbon emissions, along with particulate matter. Gail B. Landy, Gaithersburg Mr. Daniels missed the basics We get it, Mitch Daniels really doesn’t like Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). He spent the bulk of his Nov. 9 op-ed, “Modern Monetary Theory, debunked,” hurling insults at MMT (“hogwash,” etc.), invoking authority figures who revile MMT (Lawrence H. Summers, Paul Krugman, et al.) and comparing MMT to phrenology. What he did not do, however, was explain why MMT fails as an economic theory. Simply put, MMT says that a “monetary sovereign” government, such as the United States, does not need to worry about budget deficits given that it prints its own currency. Mr. Daniels wrote this about MMT: “The suggestion was that a government could borrow unlimited amounts of money in its own currency and repay it without risk simply by printing more of that currency.” Catch that? The U.S. government likes to “borrow” money and repaying it by “printing more of that currency.” Mr. Daniels did not address why the U.S. government needs to “borrow” money if it can simply print more of it. If you had a printing press in your basement that printed currency that everyone was compelled to accept (such as U.S. dollars), would you ever go to a bank to borrow currency? You wouldn’t. And neither does the U.S. government. Francis Grab, Washington Mitch Daniels was distraught about the fiscal recklessness of a “12-digit spending bill,” known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. But wait. Mr. Daniels failed to mention that the bill was fully paid for and provides for deficit reduction as well. The savings came from the establishment of a 15 percent minimum corporate tax, prescription drug pricing reform and Internal Revenue Service tax enforcement. That is known as “pay as you go.” During Mr. Daniels’s time as director of the Office of Management and Budget for President George W. Bush, he relied more on borrowing money (debt financing) to pay the bills, not hard spending choices. He was a key architect of Mr. Bush’s 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which added about $1.9 trillion to the national debt. Similarly, Mr. Daniels was not reluctant to prepare deficit appropriation spending requests to Congress, as contained in the OMB’s annual President’s Budget. Mr. Daniels’s actions speak louder than his words. He was a borrow-and-spend practitioner, not a fiscally conservative one.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . GEORGE F. WILL 50 years later, the ERA staggers on I n 1972, a year of disco, hiphugging bell-bottoms, 36-cents-agallon gas and Joe Biden’s first Senate election, Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. This required the assent of three-quarters of them (38) within seven years. A ratification deadline, which has been an organic part of every amendment submitted to the states for a century, is intended to ensure what the Supreme Court calls a “sufficiently contemporaneous” consensus for constitutional change. Although the ERA (“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged . . . on account of sex”) has long been dead as a doornail, it is a useful cadaver. Progressives toiling to resurrect it are expending energy they might otherwise devote to achievable mischief. And they are reminding the nation how aggressively they will traduce constitutional, ruleof-law and democratic norms to achieve their goals, however frivolous. The ERA rocketed toward ratification: Seven states approved it the first week, 19 within three months, mostly without hearings because it was rightly regarded as a constitutional nullity, a “consciousness-raising” gesture: What would it add to the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of “equal protection of the laws” for all “persons”? But by 1975, the momentum to clutter the Constitution with pointless verbiage stalled. So, the amendment’s supporters began their now 47-year, evermore-sophistical campaign to rig the ratification process. Although decades later they would assert — without evidence, of which there is none from the Constitution’s text or history — that ratification deadlines are unconstitutional, they got Congress to extend the deadline. Congress, whose members are sworn to “support and defend” the Constitution, extended it 39 months — by a simple majority vote. This, even though the deadline was a component of the amendment, which had to pass both houses of Congress with twothirds majorities. And even though 30 of the 35 states that had ratified it by January 1977 had referred to the seven-year deadline in their ratification resolutions. Congress, supinely pandering, extended the deadline — but only for states that had not already ratified it. This was to block additional recissions: Four states, having had second (or perhaps first) thoughts, had canceled their ratifications. The 39-month extension expired in 1982, 123 months after the ERA left Congress, having gone longer (65 months) without an additional state’s ratification than it took to get the original 35 (which by then had shrunk to 30). Since then, the ERA’s advocates of equality for women have insisted on ever-more-elaborate special treatment for the amendment. They have said the clock can never expire on ratification, and no ratification can be rescinded. Baldly declaring the five recissions impermissible, and that all deadlines are illegitimate, between 2017 and 2020 they got three more states to ratify the ERA. So, they said, the 38-state threshold had been reached, and they demanded that the National Archivist declare the Constitution amended. This he declined to do. The ERA-as-Lazarus project has had unpleasant experiences in the courts, where law is taken seriously. In 2021, a federal district judge (an Obama appointee) held that the sevenyear deadline set by Congress half a century ago was valid, so the three states’ make-believe ratifications, 2017-2020, were without legal effect. This brings to 26 the number of federal judges (14 Republican and 12 Democratic appointees) whose message to the ERA resurrectionists has been essentially: You’re kidding, right? With a tenacity inversely proportional to their credibility, the ERA’s bitterenders, who of course subscribe to progressivism’s theory of unlimited presidential power, insist that the ERA is “one signature away” — the archivist’s — from becoming the 28th Amendment. They want President Biden to order the archivist to ignore all the legal folderol and paste the ERA into the Constitution. The archivist who spurned the resurrectionists’ demand has retired, but his likely successor seems equally sensible. At Senate confirmation hearings for Colleen Shogan in September, she was asked by Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): “If confirmed, would you continue to abide by the January 2020 [Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel] opinion, as your predecessor did?” She said yes, and that a court order would be the only circumstance under which she would certify that the ERA has been ratified. If she means this, the amendment’s fate was settled long ago. If any of the resurrectionists were just 21 in 1972 when Congress sent the ERA to the states, they are now 71. Their hip-hugging bell-bottoms are dimly remembered embarrassments, like the ERA. THE WASHINGTON POST EZ A29 RE KATHLEEN PARKER When women see themselves in a new light C ontrary to the adage, seeing isn’t always believing. Sometimes seeing is disbelieving, as when a woman looks in the mirror and wonders what happened to the person she used to be. This isn’t about vanity — the sudden appearance of lines and wrinkles or a sagging jawline. I’m talking about the haunted, broken look of a woman who has been a prisoner, drug addict or victim of abuse who has somehow become unrecognizable to herself. How did she become that other person, and how does she now become someone else? These are among the questions that haunt the women who enter the Lovelady Center in Birmingham, Ala., a faith-based rehabilitation program. Most, almost invariably, leave full of hope and a renewed sense of self. Lovelady was founded in 2004 and welcomes women into its program straight from prison, sometimes because of court orders and sometimes through self-admittance. Many are teen mothers who were born to teen mothers. Many are drug addicts or prostitutes. Most have suffered abuse in one form or another. The center, which houses and feeds several hundred women and 60 children, is for many the last stop on a road that was leading nowhere. My accidental encounter with the center came in June when I wandered into a North Carolina mountain lodge and was greeted with walls covered with a traveling exhibit of beautiful portraits of women by obviously accomplished artists. Some of the portraits were sideby-side with photos of the women taken in their previous lives — their faces topographical histories of pasts filled with the worst life has to offer. All the women captured in the portraits had lived at Lovelady. And you could bet none of them had ever expected to be subjects of portraits — flattering or otherwise. Each painting was by a different artist, who had volunteered his or her talents to the Portrait Project, a mission to show the featured women a better version of themselves — and to give hope to others who might need help reimagining themselves. A collection of the portraits, each accompanied by the women’s stories in their own words, is now part of a book titled “Portraits of Hope.” The Portrait Project was the brainchild of Beverly Blount McNeil, whose husband, John, began working at the center about 10 years ago and is now chairman of the board. Beverly wanted to extend the center’s work by helping women see themselves in a more positive, future-filled, light. It can be hard to become something you’ve never seen or imagined for yourself until someone draws it for you. And most of these women had only known themselves as losers. My favorite portrait, by artist Daniel Gerhartz, is of a smiling, fuchsia-clad Shay Bell Curry. She’s wearing hoop earrings and extending her right hand in a peace sign. Instantly I thought, I need to know this woman. But Curry, who COURTESY OF PORTRAITS OF HOPE A painting of Shay Bell Curry by artist Daniel Gerhartz. died of complications from liver cancer, didn’t get to write her own story. Instead, her mentor, and founder of the center, Brenda Lovelady Spahn, wrote it for her. She described Curry, the first client to enter the center on the day it opened, as “a bit scary to be around the It can be hard to become something you’ve never seen or imagined for yourself until someone draws it for you. first couple of days. She was like a keg of dynamite ready to explode.” Sexually abused as a child and physically abused on the streets and in prison, Curry “could not handle simple life,” Spahn wrote. Eventually, Curry found and reconciled with the two children she had dropped off at her mother’s and sister’s doors. She got married, owned a home and car, and became an involved grand- mother. She probably would have been the first to tell you she was saved by God and the Lovelady Center. She also insisted on becoming part of the center’s staff, frequently acting as the first person newcomers met upon their arrival. To complete the Lovelady program, attendees must, among other things, stay nine to 12 months and acquire a number of educational and self-help credits (and a GED if needed) as well as attend counseling, a job readiness program and obtain other basics of citizenship. Sobriety is a must. Curry’s story is remarkable, yes, but it is not unusual. Bobbie Raye Smith told me she was drugged out and was stumbling down a rural dirt road at night, destination unknown, when she heard singing from across a field. She staggered toward the music and entered a church. Taking a seat in a pew, she stayed for the service, after which the minister’s wife approached her and said, “Honey, you need help.” Smith was at Lovelady the next morning and today sings its praise with a voice that would make a believer out of the stubbornest iconoclast. As adages go, here are two for you: Art can change lives. And the lord works in mysterious ways. Political Prisoner Day matters around the world — and in my Moscow prison T here aren’t many national, let alone international, commemorative dates that originated in prisons — which makes all the more notable last month’s resolution in the U.S. Congress recognizing Oct. 30 as the International Day of Political Prisoners. The measure comes on the heels of a parallel proposal unanimously adopted earlier this year by lawmakers in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. The bipartisan House resolution notes that “national governments and legislative bodies have an obligation to raise awareness about the plight of political prisoners” and to work for “their prompt release.” The original Political Prisoner Day was marked in the Soviet Union on Oct. 30, 1974, with hunger strikes by prisoners in several political labor camps and other detention facilities. The initiative was the brainchild of Soviet prisoners of conscience Kronid Lyubarsky and Alexei Murzhenko, who sought to draw attention to the plight of thousands imprisoned in the U.S.S.R. on political or religious grounds. In Moscow, the inauguration of Political Prisoner Day was announced at a news conference by prominent dissident Andrei Sakharov. The initiative proved resilient, and Oct. 30 was marked by coordinated hunger strikes in political labor camps every year until the end of the Soviet Union. Starting in the late 1980s, demonstrations of solidarity with political prisoners were held in the country’s largest cities. On Oct. 30, 1989, thousands of Muscovites holding candles formed a human chain around the KGB building before being dispersed by riot police as they attempted to organize a rally. The collapse of the Soviet regime brought the unthinkable: In October 1991, Why voters so often steer government into gridlock A VLADIMIR KARA-MURZA pretrial detention center no. 5, moscow DAVID VON DREHLE the Russian parliament — which included several former prisoners of conscience — legislated for Oct. 30 to be officially observed as the Remembrance Day for the Victims of Political Repression. Every year, government officials would join thousands of Russians at memorials across the country — including a commemorative stone brought from the first Soviet penal camp on the Solovetsky Islands and installed in front of the KGB building in Moscow — to remember the millions who perished under Communist rule. The central theme at these events was “never forget.” No one could contemplate that Political Prisoner Day would ever regain its original meaning. But it did. Starting with a trickle in the early years of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rule, the numbers of political prisoners in Russia have mushroomed, reaching a scale comparable to the late Soviet period. According to the latest (and self-admittedly incomplete) figures from Memorial, Russia’s most respected human rights organization and co-recipient of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, there are some 500 political prisoners in the country — from prominent opposition leaders and human rights activists to members of banned political groups to adherents of prohibited religious faiths. One particularly fast-growing segment on Russia’s political prisoner list is made up by opponents of Putin’s war on Ukraine: journalists, lawyers, artists, priests, politicians, military officers and many others who have publicly protested the invasion, even at the cost of personal freedom. In the half a year I’ve been imprisoned, I’ve come to witness firsthand just how incomplete the publicly available lists really are; the actual numbers of political prisoners in Russia are exponentially higher. Russia is by no means the only member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) — a group of countries that includes the United States — to hold significant numbers of political prisoners. Other OSCE states, from former Soviet republics such as Belarus and Azerbaijan to NATO member Turkey, have thousands of political prisoners among them. The problem has not only reached global proportions. It also clearly violates international law — including OSCE statutes that prohibit politically motivated and otherwise arbitrary imprisonment. Recognizing this growing crisis, OSCE Parliamentary Assembly President Margareta Cederfelt this year named Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) the special representative on political prisoners, the first international officeholder specifically devoted to this issue. Along with Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), Cohen was the lead sponsor of the resolution designating the International Day of Political Prisoners. The importance of international advocacy in this area is difficult to overstate. Irwin Cotler, the former Canadian justice minister who as an international human rights lawyer has represented some of the world’s most prominent prisoners of conscience, including Nelson Mandela and Natan Sharansky, once wrote that “the prisoner’s worst nightmare is the thought of being forgotten.” And it’s not only about moral support (although the significance of that is difficult to overstate). Sustained high-level advocacy from democratic nations has helped secure the release of prisoners of conscience all over the world, including many in the Soviet Union and Russia. Few political accomplishments can compare in importance to returning freedom to those unjustly deprived of it. The International Day of Political Prisoners is a timely reminder that much work still remains. bove the secret entrance to the Political Pundits Club is carved the organization’s ancient motto: Saepe Fallor Nunquam in Dubio. Often Mistaken, Never in Doubt. Beyond the heavy oak door with its groaning iron hinges, members gather to throw back hot takes while waiters at tableside carve thick slabs of conventional wisdom. This is always a busy time at the Club as we take turns peering into a fresh batch of election results and sharing our divinations. My turn finally came during what we call the Mo Udall Cup — named for the Arizona congressman who noted that “everything has been said, but not everyone has said it.” By then the audience was weary, and frankly, the batch was murky to me. Instead of focusing on Florida, gauging Georgia or pondering Pennsylvania, I was hung up on results from Kansas, of all places. One weird pair of results in particular. I recalled the words of political consultant Dick Tuck, a legendary Pundits Club member. “The people have spoke — the bastards,” he said in 1966. His words echoed as I wondered what Kansans were trying to say. The voters reelected Gov. Laura Kelly, a moderate Democrat with a soothing demeanor. Kelly is the sort of governor you want if you prefer not to give much thought to your governor: knowledgeable, practical, low-key. You get the feeling she probably has a safety pin and a spare handkerchief in her handbag, and maybe caramels for the grandkids. Down the ballot, the same voters elected Kris Kobach to be their next attorney general. Kobach is an original gangsta of MAGA Republicanism; he manned the ramparts against immigrant throngs when Stephen Miller was but a lad watching “The Simpsons” and crushing on Mr. Burns. A perpetual candidate, Kobach distilled his platform this time to just three words: “Sue Joe Biden.” Kelly and Kobach go together like a Christmas cardigan and a bag of broken glass. I can see why people might prefer one or the other, but I’m surprised to see both in the same shopping cart. Surprised and baffled. That’s not enough for the Club, though. (The Pundits Club anthem admonishes: “ . . . When voting poses mysteries / We boil them down to A-B-Cs . . .”) Compelled to say more, I suggest stripping away from the political picture all the storms and thunder of the recent past to look at a 30-year stretch of American voting. In retrospect, these decades have a clear identity: They are the 50-50 years; the splitblanket years; the divided government years. Presidential candidates struggle for majorities, and often win with less. Landslides are a thing of the past. Chambers of Congress flip and flop from one slippery grip to the other. This must be what the voters intend. Too often for coincidence, they produce unclear results, weeks of recounts, high-stakes runoff elections. The Pundits Club must admit: These aren’t obstructions of our view into the will of the voters. They are the will itself. The gridlock is the message. Through the magical mechanism of mass voting, Americans express a persistent impulse toward divided government. Could it be that the most important polarization today is not between parties, but between governors and governed? Are we, by some wonderfully stable group-mind, protecting ourselves from politics gone wild? Knowing how closely divided we are, our atomized wisdom adds up vote by vote to a hobble for both parties — binds them in an endless three-legged race, rather than risk winner-take-all. If this is true, the Kansas anomaly makes perfect sense. The ballot that elected both Kelly and Kobach — polar opposites — was cast by the electorate’s invisible hand, which seeks balance, always balance. Before signing my tab and departing, I add this: Voters in Election 2022 asserted another kind of balance, too. Not just balance of parties and passions — but a proper balance between the attention we give to politics and the attention we save for everything else. Politics has sucked up too much attention for too long, and voters struck back this year by telling one particular blowhard to pipe down already. Other blowhards should take note. Voters want to live again, with parts of their lives blissfully free of politics. There is so much to enjoy: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes making a masterpiece using nothing but his legs and his want-to. Young Barbra Streisand singing again in the voice of her miraculous youth in recordings locked away for decades. Riots of autumn leaves turning blustery skies into kaleidoscopes. Over the din and jostle of the Pundits Club, life calls us away from politics. I wonder: Will the Club ever hear?
A30 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 20 years on, justice for family terrorized in home invasion COLD CASE FROM A1 Dad built a word-of-mouth business repairing backhoes, excavators and other heavy trucks. But they also lived in fear, worried that the men or their associates would return. “I know you,” one of them had told the dad in 2003, warning him to have money next time. “This was your lucky day.” The family rarely told anyone what they’d been through. And they moved to a new apartment or townhouse every few years — always in the D.C. area — thinking that doing so would make them harder to find. Then came last spring and a knock on the door. It was two Montgomery County investigators who had picked up the longunsolved case. They had new DNA evidence. And they needed the family’s help. “I know who did it,” Detective Rob Cassels said. “At least one of them.” ‘Where’s the money?!’ Over several interviews, the family spoke about the break-in and its effect on their lives. For safety reasons, they spoke on the condition that only their first names be used. The Washington Post generally does not name victims of violent crime without their permission. Interviews with law enforcement, court filings and court hearings confirm the family’s accounts of the break-in and how they still quietly and privately deal with its effects. “If you meet us now, you’d see us as the happiest people,” says Jazmin, the daughter who had been forced at gunpoint into the closet and is now 24. “You’d never know what we’d been through or think anything was ever wrong.” Her father, Adalberto, is now 47. He grew up outside Guadalajara, Mexico, where he was always around tractors and trucks and learned how to fix them. He immigrated to the United States when he was 14, settled in Maryland, and eventually married another Mexican native, Monica. By 2003, their young family lived in a garden-style apartment building off Piney Branch Road in Silver Spring. The four shared one of the bedrooms. Adalberto’s brother, a plumber, slept in the other. Adalberto got a job repairing cars inside an Amoco station in College Park and was trusted enough by the owner to lock up at night. He did so on a chilly Wednesday evening and drove to his apartment building, arriving just after 6 p.m. “Stop, I’m the police!” came a voice from behind. Adalberto fell for the ruse, turned and was forced into his apartment. Monica had been in the kitchen, bringing dinner to their two children. Now they were staring at strangers pointing guns at them. “What’s going on!?” she asked in Spanish. “Shut up! Shut up!” one of the men responded, according to police records. They punched Adalberto in the stomach and threw him to the floor. His youngest child, 4-year-old Jazmin, ran into her bedroom, followed by one of the intruders who held a gun to her head and carried her back to the living room. She was ordered with her brother and mom to crawl under a rug, where from the darkness they could hear Adalberto being stomped and beaten. “Where’s the money?! Where’s the bag of money?!” the men asked. They tied him up and escalated the threats and pain. The tip of a knife dug into his fingers. Kicks, fists, and gun handles pounded at his body. A flame-heated knife seared into his neck. The intruders — detectives would come to believe — had followed Adalberto home from the service station under the mistaken belief he was the owner and would have cash proceeds. At least two of them, having arrived without gloves, pulled socks out of a dresser and put them over their hands to guard against leaving fingerprints as they ransacked the family’s home. Lying on the floor, as Adalberto later told detectives, he heard one of the men place a call over a Nextel direct-connect phone. “He says he doesn’t have the money,” the man said. “He’s lying,” the other voice responded. “Kill his wife or his son. He has the money!” A short time later, Adalberto heard footsteps out in the hall and someone unlocking the door. So did the intruders, who immediately yanked Adalberto’s brother into the apartment. They threw him to the floor and beat, bound and gagged him. By then, Adalberto’s wife, daughter and son had been ner dressed casually, hoping to come across as everyday people to a family that, for all they knew, wanted nothing to do with the long-ago horror. A woman in her 20s opened the door. Cassels introduced himself, and showed her a report with a victim’s name written across the top. “That’s my dad,” Jazmin said. “He almost died from that.” Monica then appeared from within the house. Jazmin spoke to her in Spanish. Monica fell to her knees, started to shake and cry, and spoke to her daughter. “She wants you to come in,” Jazmin told them. RIGHT: Cristian, one of two children who, along with their mother, father and uncle, were terrorized by three armed men who burst into their Maryland apartment looking for money in 2003. Cristian, his sister and their mother were forced into a closet as the intruders beat and tortured his father, Adalberto. BELOW: Wounds on Adalberto’s neck from a hot knife pressed against his skin. MONTGOMERY COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY FAMILY PHOTO MONTGOMERY COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT BILL O’LEARY/THE WASHINGTON POST moved to the back closet. Monica wrapped her arms around her children and squeezed them. “Proteger a mi familia,” she whispered in prayer, “Proteger a mi familia.” ‘Your family isn’t safe’ Only when it became clear they wouldn’t find any service station cash did the invaders finally leave. At the hospital, nurses and doctors counted 124 separate scrapes, cuts, burns and bruises on Adalberto. But he had largely withstood the attack, physically at least, and within hours was released. His boss at the Amoco station said he shouldn’t return to work or his apartment. “You have to go,” he said. “Your family isn’t safe.” They moved in with Monica’s sister and brother in Northern Virginia. Walking through their new home, the children constantly wanted to stay together. “Can you go with me to the bedroom?” Jazmin would ask Cristian. The children marshaled through school. Cristian joined a scout troop. “Thoughtful, reserved,” his scoutmaster, Michael Todd, recalls of Cristian. “Sometimes he was the only kid paying attention.” Todd became close with the family, and Adalberto eventually confided in him. Todd was stunned. “I would have never guessed,” he says, “They have been determined not to let it get in the way of having the family they wanted to have.” Naturally gregarious and outgoing, Adalberto was hired as a fleet mechanic for a construction company. And he carried out a daily ritual of something he never did before the home invasion: Telling his kids and wife he loved them. Rarely did Adalberto bring up what happened — and it generally took prompting, like when they drove to Maryland to see family and passed the old apartment building. “That’s where it happened,” he’d say. A DNA match In 2020, the Montgomery County Police Department’s crime lab started working through DNA “profiles” collected at crime scenes over the years that for various reasons had never been analyzed against law enforcement DNA databases. Such databases contain DNA profiles of offenders convicted of crimes around the country. The hope: With updated search requirements, and with evermore DNA profiles in the databases, they might get a match. That’s just what happened, authorities say, in the home- invasion case. A DNA profile obtained two decades earlier from the inside of a sock matched a profile of someone who had been convicted in a different crime. Police suddenly had a suspect: Stacy Howard Moore, 48. He lived in the Hyattsville area six miles from the break-in, and his criminal record included a 1994 incident with details that echoed the Silver Spring home invasion. At the time, Moore, 22, and two others were accused of approaching a man outside his home in Forrestville, Md., and forcing him at gunpoint to go inside, according to court records. Moore pleaded guilty to attempted robbery with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to five years in prison — part of which he spent seeking transfers to a facility that offered more programs. “All I do all day is sit in my cell and do nothing,” Moore wrote in a letter to a judge, according to court records. “With the right help anybody can change.” After his release, Moore picked up more arrests, including one for illegally carrying a handgun in what he later explained was done to protect himself from being shot again. “The gun just made me feel safe,” he told a judge. By his late 30s, though, Moore was staying out of trouble, according to court records and Bill Hale, his longtime attorney. He CENTER: The intruders left the family’s Silver Spring apartment ransacked, looking for money that wasn’t there.

He drove to the department’s archives building, and pulled out two oversized case files stuffed with yellowed papers, floppy disks, sticky notes and Polaroids — all telling a story of false leads, dead ends and a case long since gone cold. The original investigators had looked into Adalberto’s background and if he had reason to keep large amounts of cash at home, and found none — making it clear to Cassels that Adalberto was surveilled at the service station and mistakenly labeled as someone who took proceeds home. But DNA alone couldn’t make his case. Cassels had to find the family to see if they would testify — a challenge in robbery work. Victims fear retaliation, if not from the suspects, then from the suspect’s family and friends. Working from old family addresses, Cassels tracked them, possibly, to a townhouse in Northern Virginia. He and a part- Opportunities seized There was no guarantee Moore would be convicted or that either of his accomplices would ever be identified, let alone charged. But when Cassels broached the subject of new interviews and testifying in court, Jazmin spoke of a two-decade desire for justice. The family had long repeated a motto among themselves: Nunca te quedes con las ganas, which loosely translated, means to never hold back from acting on important opportunities. “We definitely want to help,” Jazmin told Cassels. Adalberto, who wasn’t home at the time, swelled with pride when he learned of his daughter’s answer to the detective. She had seized the opportunity for all of them. Waiting to testify This summer, inside a sixthfloor courtroom in Rockville, Md., prosecutors Donna Fenton and Kimberly Cissel began their trial. The two had earlier interviewed the five victims, coming away stunned not just by their vivid recall of what happened, but the emotional scars left behind. “They were terrorized and tortured within their own home,” Fenton told jurors during opening statements. Hale urged jurors to keep an open mind. “A lot of times on TV, you say, ‘Well Geez, it’s DNA, the guy must be guilty,’ ” he said. “That’s not really true in real life. A lot of things go into DNA analysis and how the specimen was collected and how it has been stored, where it’s been for the last 20 years.” About 50 feet away, in a lobby outside, the five victims waited to testify. Cristian, who had earned an automotive engineering degree, sat next to his wife and infant child. He and Jazmin, who was wrapping up a degree in international studies, knew that whatever courtroom win might be ahead, it would be limited. No additional DNA had surfaced. Even if Moore would somehow reveal the names of possible accomplices — which so far he hadn’t — convicting someone based merely on the testimony of an accomplice is very difficult. Adalberto was called first to the witness stand. He glanced over at Moore: Now 50, bald and a hulking 300 pounds. To Adalberto, who’d always remembered his large, dark eyes, he looked sad. Adalberto walked jurors through what happened and pointed to the scar left behind by the hot knife. “I could not feel the pain because I was so afraid that my adrenaline was high,” he testified. “But I could smell it, the burning.” He described a final threat issued by the men, when they told him to stand up and say goodbye to his wife. Instead, he prayed. “I said, ‘God, if today is my day, go ahead,’ ” Adalberto testified. Circuit Judge Christopher Fogleman soon called for a lunch break. The jurors filed out. Then Moore turned to Hale. He quietly said he wanted to stop the trial and plead guilty. “What can you do?” Hale recalled Moore asking. By 2:30 p.m., the terms were settled. Moore pleaded guilty to five counts, including felony assault and false imprisonment. Three months later, while sentencing him to 18 years in prison, Fogleman acknowledged strides Moore had made to improve his life. But the judge described his crimes as completely terrifying and cited a letter written to him by Jazmin. Through years of counseling, she had learned how much memories from that night shaped her: The distrust of strangers, the anxiety, the post-traumatic stress disorder. She’d explained efforts to shield off her past while celebrating her present. “Many kids my age can look back at your childhood and recall happy days,” she had written. “I’ve learned to block mine off, and to live everyday as if it’s the last.”

Edgar Hoover, In Full O n Oct. 7, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson’s longtime aide Walter Jenkins walked into the YMCA near the White House after a party at the Newsweek magazine office and had sex in the bathroom with a homeless Army veteran. The vice squad arrested Jenkins, booked him and released him. A week later, the story made headlines on the eve of the presidential election that pitted Johnson against Republican Barry Goldwater. By then, a near-suicidal Jenkins had checked into George Washington University Hospital and the Republicans were “punching hard,” writes Beverly Gage in “G-Man,” her masterful account of the life and controversial career of FBI Director J.

This was politics, and for decades he had tried to insulate the FBI from partisan politics. But he did what he was told to do by his president. It turned out that Jenkins, the father of six children, had been arrested in the same bathroom five years earlier. Johnson was astonished that Jenkins could have hidden his proclivities. Hoover was not. He thought such temptations were commonplace. Four days into the investigation he told Johnson that Jenkins had been under enormous stress and required medical attention. The FBI chief had already sent a bouquet of flowers to Jenkins’s hospital room. Attached was a sympathy card wishing him a speedy recovery. “With less than two weeks to go before the election,” Gage writes, “Hoover issued a report absolving Jenkins of any national security violations,” and on Election Day, Johnson rolled to victory in one of the nation’s biggest presidential landslides. In Gage’s biography, Hoover emerges as a strangely tortured man who wielded power within the Justice Department for an astonishing 48 years. His response to Jenkins revealed a softer side and, Gage explains, raised an “innuendo that Hoover might have more in common with Jenkins than he wished to acknowledge.” In a memo, Hoover wrote that he liked Jenkins and felt sorry for him. “It is a pitiful case,” he observed, “and I think it is time for people to follow the SEE HOOVER ON B4 ILLUSTRATION BY DAVID DESPAU FOR THE WASHINGTON POST, BASED ON AN ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO RON CHARLES THRILLERS TRANSLATION PHILOSOPHY What if James Bond was a lot more nihilistic?

While racing across Europe in fancy cars, yachts and helicopters, you and your Miss Moneypenny could stop to ride horses at Château de Chantilly from “A View to a Kill” or lose a few million at the baccarat table in the Casino de Monte-Carlo from “GoldenEye.” Why not? You only live twice. But readers who would prefer to celebrate this diamonds-are-forever anniversary with a less peripatetic adventure might turn to the latest novel by Everett . . . Percival Everett. This new “Dr. No” parodies Fleming’s bombastic thrillers with a meditation on nihilism. That may sound like a dangerous mission, but Everett’s previous novel, “The Trees,” is a brutal comedy about lynching. Clearly, nothing frightens this author. Which is the theme — and oft-repeated joke — of “Dr. No.” Everett’s deadpan narrator is a 36-yearold Black man who is on the autism spectrum and goes by the name Wala Kitu. His first name is Tagalog for “nothing”; his last name is Swahili for “nothing.” (Longtime fans will recognize him as the brilliant baby narrator of “Glyph,” Everett’s 1999 satire of academia.) Now, as a distinguished mathematics professor at Brown University, Wala knows that nothing + nothing = nothing. In fact, Wala is the world’s greatest expert on nothing. He’s spent his career searching for nothing. “I have not found it,” he confesses. “I work very hard and wish I could say that I have nothing to show for it.” It turns out there are more jokes about nothing than one could fit into a 22minute “Seinfeld” episode. A lot more. At the start of “Dr. No,” Wala is contacted by the African American billionaire John Milton Bradley Sill, a name that manages to invoke the great Renaissance poet and the great board- ELIZABETH VON OEHSEN/THE WASHINGTON POST DR.

As artists and writers know all too well, there’s no place like home for the holidays, with tensions simmering beneath the tinseled surface of foil-wrapped presents and forced cheer. Lynn Steger Strong’s slender but affecting new novel, “Flight,” ventures into this familiar terrain with a deft touch and an intuitive grasp of her characters. There’s an easy rhythm here: She’s in no rush as she roves among her cast, who gather in a rambling house in Upstate New York. Henry, the host, and Alice, his wife, have resigned themselves to childlessness in the aftermath of five miscarriages, devoting themselves to their nieces and nephews. Their artistic careers have stagnated, though, prompting different responses: He withdraws into his studio, preoccupied with climate change and seemingly incapable of earning a decent wage, while Alice has shifted to social work. She smokes to handle her stress.

(No, I don’t know why. Such flecks of cerebral silliness are one of Everett’s charms.) Sitting in a coffee shop, Wala realizes immediately that Sill is “certifiable, but jolly.” His backstory is steeped in racial violence: His father was murdered — collateral damage in the government’s plot to assassinate Martin Luther King Jr. And Sill’s mother, a preschool teacher turned madam, was shot 12 times by a White policeman serving her for unpaid parking tickets. With a passion ignited by rage and grief, Sill has dedicated his life to becoming “a cultural disease, an enemy of the system.” He tells Wala, “I want to be a Bond villain … the sort of perpetrator of evil deeds that might cause the prime minister to dispatch a double-naught spy to thwart me.” To prosecute his evil schemes, Sill needs Wala’s help. Inspired by “Goldfinger,” he wants to break into Fort Knox and steal a top-secret box of nothing. “How much power must there be for anyone who can possess nothing,” Sill says. He gives Wala $3 million to serve as his special consultant. “All you have to do is advise me. . . . I want your pure honest confusion.” It’s an offer Wala can’t refuse, but he knows how dangerous this kook could be. “Nothingness is not emptiness any more than it is the absence of something, some thing, some things or substance,” he explains, bafflingly. “The actual Big Bang a “too thin,” aloof lawyer — with a specialneeds son and a cherubic daughter. But they are grappling with their own quandary: Martin is under investigation for a rude comment about a female student. Kate, Henry’s and Martin’s sister, lacks her brothers’ charisma but has forged a solid marriage with Josh, juggling discontents with the care of a daughter and twin sons, one of whom bites other kids and has thus placed them beneath a clinical microscope. The catalyst for this Yuletide-in-hell is the matriarch, Helen, whose recent death haunts them all as surely as Marley’s ghost stalked Scrooge. In an annual custom, the siblings and their spouses had spent Christmas with Helen in their childhood home in Florida; but a stroke stole her away in the spring. Her absence is the core of “Flight.” They can’t call her obsessively (Strong makes hay of this detail), so they don’t know how to conduct their lives. The author recounts each character’s connection to Helen, their rivalries for her attention, folding planes of backstory into beautiful origami. Strong is an exacting observer of families and their idiosyncrasies, in the mode of Anne Tyler and Jonathan Franzen. She nails the ennui of middle age: Josh has depleted his trust fund; Tess, despite her lawyerly mien, struggles with self-loathing; Kate views herself as dumpy, an afterthought to her older, handsome brothers. There’s a slightness to the plot — “Flight” occasionally feels padded out, with gratuitous, tackedon scenes — but Strong milks the high moments, such as a quarrel that erupts during a game of cards. The apple of discord is Helen’s house, now rented, set on an acre abutting a state nature reserve. Helen died suddenly, with no will, no is coming, as what the universe came from is catching up to what it will become. To experience the power of nothing would be to understand everything; to harness the power of nothing would be to negate all that is.” It’s only a coincidence in the quantum mechanics of literary fiction, but there’s some spooky action going on between “Dr. No” and two new novels from Cormac McCarthy: “The Passenger” and “Stella Maris.” Energized by the “endless nothing,” McCarthy’s books compress a great number of scientists’ names and esoteric terms under intense heat in hopes of creating a fusion reaction that will release tremendous profundity. Everett is no less sophisticated or grim, but the vibe of “Dr. No” is a lot less Werner Heisenberg and a lot more Pussy Galore. (When a sexy mathematician climaxes in Sill’s embrace, she screams, “Assume x is a Kähler manifold.”) Most of “Dr. No” is a goofy anti-thriller that revolves around Sill’s evil schemes and Wala’s halting efforts to thwart them. Yes, there are gorgeous robots, a devastating space laser, a pool of maneating sharks under the dining room and lots of diabolical chuckling. But needless to say, Wala is no Sean Connery. He knows nothing. He’s never touched a woman. And forget the Sunbeam Alpine Series II. Wala doesn’t even know how to drive. All of which Everett exploits to parody both the Bond films and the NINA SUBIN Lynn Steger Strong’s new novel examines the nature of grief and the routines of relationships. stipulation about the property. Their finances compromised, Kate and Josh want to take possession and raise their kids amid the sunny weather and ocean breezes. As befits a climate activist, Henry advocates selling the property to the state so that it can be absorbed into the reserve. Martin also prefers a straight-up sale, bizarro world of physics and mathematics in the outer limits of reality. Instead of Schrödinger’s cat, Wala has a one-legged dog named Trigo, whose condition and position are always known. “My dog met me at the door,” Wala says. “He had no choice. That was where I had left him.” The professor carries Trigo, or what remains of him, on his chest in a baby carrier called a Björn, which is not standard-issue equipment for superagents. This is all amusing. But having recently read “The Trees,” which was shortlisted for the 2022 Booker Prize, I wish that “Dr. No” zeroed in on America’s racial environment with the same comic intensity. Defanged by its own silliness, this new novel merely hints and feints. The racially motivated murders that sparked Sill’s revenge fantasy quickly feel irrelevant. Near the very end, a side character notes how much Black people have contributed to America. “We have given everything to it,” he says. “I think it’s time we gave nothing back.” The power of that point is greater than zero, but it comes buried in a bit of wordplay that we’ve already heard here dozens of times. It risks feeling flip, almost like nothing. The result is a story unlikely to leave you shaken or stirred.

There’s another catalyst for friction: the abrupt arrival of Alice’s client Quinn, a single mother in her early 20s, and her child, Maddie, a lighted cigarette tossed into a powder keg. The subsequent conflagration is not a surprise, but it’s not formulaic, either; Strong keeps “Flight” in motion with twists of language and revelation. The novel, then, limns the cumulative nature of grief, how it accretes, week by week, month by month, the long goodbye. Strong delicately teases out her characters’ emotional stasis, the end of one major phase and the inchoate beginnings of another. With Helen gone, their Florida sanctuary is gone, as well. Tess muses on the geography of mourning: “Maybe they were losing not just Helen but this whole state that she had come to love, even as they’d all disparaged it all these years: the flatness and the scrub trees; the lushness still for stretches; coco plums, hydrangeas, azaleas, allamandas, bougainvilleas — none of which Tess would have known to name before Helen was hers; the long blocks of concrete pastels on U.S. 1; the way the heat felt wet.” “Flight” slips free of its tight narrative frame: More than just a domestic tale, it is a larger portrait of hearts and minds at war with the tedium of everydayness and the rote routines of relationships. As Tess notes of her own sisters, “The love among them was complicated, stunted, sometimes painful.” Grab a mug of egg nog, good readers, and dive in.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ B3 EE nonFiction W hen Benjamin Netanyahu was ousted from power in 2021, ending an extraordinary reign as Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, he did what so many political leaders do when they leave office, willingly or not. He wrote a memoir. “Bibi: My Story” was written in longhand over nine months and was scheduled to be published in English and Hebrew in November. But when the most recent Israeli elections — the fifth in less than four years — were set for Nov. 1, the tome, weighing in at more than 650 pages of text, was published instead in mid-October, quickly finding a spot on many bestseller lists. In the latest election, Netanyahu accomplished what few of his peers ever could: He won what passes in Israel as a resounding victory, granting him the opportunity to become prime minister for a third time. And rather than reading like a typical self-serving retrospective, a classic bid for immortality, his memoir now becomes a reintroduction to a man who has rarely been out of the public eye for a quarter-century — and a challenge to those searching for more than a self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing narrative. For balance and a fuller picture of the man, it is necessary to look beyond Netanyahu’s own reflections. That’s why we turn to biography. A biographer applying a skeptical, nuanced eye to the life of a consequential figure such as Netanyahu often fills in context missing from a memoir. As the Indian biographer Ramachandra Guha has noted, a memoir, especially by a politician, is always a defensive exercise, but a “biographer is an artist under oath.” Reading Netanyahu’s reminiscences alongside the evenhanded 2018 biography “Bibi: The Turbulent Life and Times of Benjamin Netanyahu,” by the respected Israeli journalist Anshel Pfeffer, reveals Netanyahu’s genius at reframing his own story. Netanyahu’s many fans, arguably even more on the American right than among the Israeli public, will relish the way he shapes his life story as a unique, uncompromising — and much-maligned — defender of Israel as a Jewish state against its many enemies, domestic and foreign. His detractors may see the swagger and self-delusion that have propelled his success at driving Israel ever further from its democratic roots. In Netanyahu’s telling, two men and one woman have played consequential roles in his fate: his older brother, Yoni; his brilliant, hardcore father, Benzion; and his third wife, Sara. These figures provide the guiding principles of his ideology and his methodology as a political leader. The generally simplistic way they course through his memoir at times seems more Hallmark than historical, more like caricatures than believable human beings. Netanyahu the writer glides over the tensions and complexities in his relationship with his brother and father, and glosses over the foundational strain in his marriage. The portraits exist to promote a vision of himself as a humble family man destined to lead not only the state of Israel but the entire Jewish people, when the reality is far more convoluted — and interesting. His memoir opens with Yoni, the oldest of Benzion and Cela’s three sons, whom Bibi — the middle child — revered and adored, and whose 1976 death during a daring Israeli rescue of passengers from a hijacked airplane that had been forced to land in Entebbe, Uganda, has become the stuff of legend. “Yoni’s sacrifice and example helped me overcome inconsolable grief, thrust me into a public battle against terrorism, and led me to become Israel’s longest-serving prime minister,” Netanyahu declares. He published a book of Yoni’s letters and led a conference on terrorism created in Yoni’s name, which convened twice and enabled Netanyahu to associate with a growing number of Western conservative politicians and activists, keeping alive his connection with a brother whose heroic dimensions only seemed to expand over time. In his biography, Pfeffer shows how Bibi took full advantage of the mythologization of Yoni, writing that “no other Israeli soldier has ever been accorded anything like the praise and commemoration that Yoni Netanyahu has received. Over the decades, the Yoni project intensified as his brother Bibi became a powerful politician. Local council leaders discovered that the way to his heart was naming a street or school after his fallen brother.” And those who weren’t Yoni loyalists eventually were shunned. This despite the fact that another, independent biographer hired by the Netanyahu family reached the conclusion that Yoni — who was 30 at the time of his death, divorced, lonely and by his own admission deeply troubled — was disliked by many of his men and was hounded by his father’s unrelenting expectations. Others at the scene have disputed the Netanyahu version of events that fateful day. As Pfeffer relates, Yoni was accused of acting against orders by opening fire on Ugandan soldiers, exposing himself to return fire that probably killed him. His family insists he was killed by the German commander of the hijackers. Pfeffer concludes that the creation of the latter scenario suggests “to some that the family felt that being felled by an ‘inferior’ African soldier was somehow a lesser way to die.” Whatever the truth, Bibi surely cannot be AMIR COHEN/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES Benjamin Netanyahu glides through his life story BY J ANE E ISNER MENAHEM KAHANA/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES BIBI My Story By Benjamin Netanyahu Threshold. 724 pp. $35 RICHARD DREW/ASSOCIATED PRESS FROM TOP: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks in front of a banner depicting his late brother, Yoni, during a dedication ceremony at a school in the West Bank settlement of Elkana in 2019.

But the adulation makes no room for ambiguity — and that says as much about the surviving brother as it does about the dead one. Similarly, there’s no room for ambiguity in his depiction of their father, Benzion, a scholar of medieval Jewish history and, in Bibi’s eyes, a brilliant, prescient and (again) often maligned activist on behalf of Zionism and the Jewish state. The elder Netanyahu eschewed compromise, believing that Arabs would never, ever accept Jews and that the only way to prevent another Holocaust was through unmitigated strength and assiduous wooing of supportive publics and political leaders. He is rightly credited with helping to persuade the Republican and Democratic parties to support the establishment of a Jewish state in their 1944 platforms. This breakthrough was achieved, Netanyahu writes, “not by cowing to anti-Zionism but by standing up to it.” He continues: “My father was thus one of the de facto progenitors of America’s bi-partisan support for the state of Israel and the first to bring it into practical fruition. It was ironic that decades later I would be falsely accused of not appreciating the importance of American bipartisan support for Israel when in fact my own father had initiated it.” But beneath Benzion’s rigid, polarized worldview was a confounding irony: He didn’t much want to live in Israel and didn’t want his sons to, either. As Pfeffer recounts, the elder Netanyahu relocated his family to the United States when he secured academic employment there, and he was highly critical of his boys when they returned to serve in the Israeli military. “Benzion’s sons were incapable of fully confronting the contradictions between their father’s Zionist ideals and his living in America,” Pfeffer writes. Instead, they sought to mollify him. In his memoir, Bibi shapes his antipathy and estrangement into a principled stand. In that version of Netanyahu’s life, defiance is forgotten, filial devotion is all that matters. If father-son relationships are complicated, so are marriages. Netanyahu could be forgiven, in his own book, for glossing over the dissolution of his first two marriages and (perhaps) for mentioning the daughter he had with his first wife only once. His third and current wife, Sara, is awarded pride of place. His descriptions of her are so unceasingly laudatory that she appears superhuman. Her political advice is always spot-on, her charitable works magnanimous and cruelly overlooked. Sara never left the bedside of her dying mother and then her father, too; Netanyahu quotes a physician saying that he had “never seen such devotion of a daughter to her parents.” And the care she showered upon their two sons, Yair and Avner! Netanyahu compares it to “a lioness guard[ing] her cubs.” Not only was all this ignored by the media, but “Sara sustained an endless campaign of character assassination … a vicious onslaught [that] went on for more than twenty years!” he writes. This “burgeoning industry of defamation and lies” would never have been directed at the spouse of a left-wing prime minister, he insists. But Sara Netanyahu is unlike any other politician’s wife in Israel. As Pfeffer recounts, during the middle of a political campaign in 1993, Netanyahu publicly acknowledged an affair and begged Sara to reconcile. The resulting agreement stipulated that Sara would accompany her husband on all his major public engagements and foreign trips, that she would have full access to his schedule, and that she would vet appointments of members of his staff. She pleaded guilty in 2019 to misusing state funds and is a subject in an ongoing corruption trial accusing both Netanyahus of illegally receiving gifts, jewelry and champagne. So the many investigations that have threatened the Netanyahus — at least when he is out of office — have a degree of public legitimacy. Sara chose political power, her husband granted it, and accountability flows from that. What’s left unsaid in a political memoir is also meaningful. Ordinary Palestinians — the very many who aren’t terrorists — are missing from Netanyahu’s own story, even though his government has occupied Palestinian territory for 55 years. He has long insisted that the greatest threat to Israel is from Iran; the reader can decide whether that singular focus is justified or a skillful way to change the subject from Israel’s assertion of political oppression that many believe stains the nation’s soul. Netanyahu’s political resilience is unparalleled in Israeli history, and for that reason alone, his memoir serves as an essential window into his character — as long as it is read with the proper perspective. As Carlos Lozada observed earlier this year in The Washington Post, the writings of any politician “should not be taken at face value; the purpose is to obscure as much as to reveal, the content is propaganda more than truth. . . . But as with all political writing, propaganda is enlightening because it reveals something about how its purveyors wish to be perceived.” Jane Eisner, a regular Book World contributor, is the director of academic affairs at the Columbia Journalism School.

B4 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Book World HOOVER FROM B1 admonition of the Bible about persons throwing the first stone and that none are without sin.” Hoover’s story illustrates the unique power of biography to enter the life of another human being. The genre can provoke a rare response: It can persuade one to change one’s mind. This magical leap can happen when a good biographer is able to seduce the reader into understanding another soul. “G-Man” is Gage’s first biography, and she turns out to be a marvelous biographer. After reading Gage, I have changed my mind about Hoover. He is not the caricature villain I thought I knew when I came of age in the turbulent 1960s. Hoover was a man of profound contradictions. While he had enough empathy to send flowers to Jenkins, he also orchestrated the FBI’s notorious COINTELPRO intelligence operations against civil rights leaders and antiwar activists, wiretapped Martin Luther King Jr. and many other private citizens, and enabled the rise of a deeply racist conservative movement that is still poisoning the American body politic. Gage provides proof that Hoover was no rogue elephant, acting entirely on his own. Instead, we learn that he invariably did what he did with the full knowledge of the men he served in the White House and Congress. It was President Franklin Roosevelt who first authorized Hoover to use wiretaps to collect domestic political intelligence. And Hoover regularly briefed the White House and Congress on COINTELPRO. No loose cannon, Hoover was actually the consummate cautious bureaucrat, the keeper of the files — really more of an uptight, puritanical librarian. Indeed, his first job out of college and law school was at the Library of Congress, where his mentor Herbert Putnam taught him the power and magic of the library’s catalogue of 50,000 index cards. According to Gage, Hoover used his skills as a librarian to become a master politician, managing to ingratiate himself through eight presidential administrations. Gage is a professor of 20th-century American history and the Brady-Johnson professor of grand strategy at Yale University. Last year, she resigned as director of Yale’s Grand Strategy program when a donor tried to influence its curriculum. Her first book was “The Day Wall Street Exploded: A Story of America in Its First Age of Terror,” about the 1920 dynamite attack on Wall Street that killed 38 people. It was published in 2009, and ever since then Gage has been working on Hoover. Scholars have long anticipated this volume, the first new biography of Hoover in nearly 30 years. Back in the 1950s, Fred Cook wrote a series of investigative pieces attacking the FBI, and in 1964 he published “The FBI Nobody Knows.” But the first real biography did not come out until 1987, when Richard Gid Powers published “Secrecy and Power.” This was followed a year later by Athan Theoharis’s “The Boss.” Both were very good pieces of scholarship but were less than full biographies. In 1991, Curt Gentry came out with “J. Edgar Hoover,” another muckraking account of Hoover’s career. And then in 1993, the British author Anthony Summers published “Official and Confidential,” a colorful biography that made headlines with its thinly sourced accounts of Hoover’s alleged cross-dressing at a private party in New York. Gage’s biography now becomes the definitive work, not only because it is deeply biographical about the man but also because the author was able to tap into such previously classified sources as the records of Operation Solo, the Venona intercepts of Soviet cable traffic, Hoover’s office logs and appointment books, and most important, the reprocessed version of Hoover’s “Official and Confidential File.” This new material is simply stunning, and Gage uses it to write a highly nuanced — sometimes even sympathetic — account of the man. Hoover was a racist who spent much of his career trying to break the Ku Klux Klan. He believed that bringing Southern lynch mobs to justice would shore up faith in federal power. By the 1940s, he had become the “darling of the New Deal establishment,” Gage writes. While Hoover hounded American communists, the leftist journal- JOHN ROUS/ASSOCIATED PRESS J.

Stone conceded that he used his power to face down Joe McCarthy. Hoover thought of Richard Nixon as a personal friend and political soul mate, but he hated John Birchers and Second Amendment absolutists. Hoover was complicated — and never more so than in his personal life. Gage is brilliant in showing us who the man was without using any labels. He was a dedicated “bachelor” who had no use for women. Drawing on “an extraordinary cache of letters,” Gage shows Hoover “by turns funny, tender, solicitous, and flirtatious” in his correspondence with a young FBI agent, Melvin Purvis. By the mid-1930s, he had transferred his affections to Clyde Tolson, who became Hoover’s associate director. “Where Hoover went, Tolson went too,” writes Gage. “Not only to the office, but to the nightclub and the racetrack, on vacations and out for weeknight dinners, to family events and White House receptions. They were in essence a couple.” Gage does not pretend to be in their bedroom, but by the end of his life, when Hoover became the nursemaid to an ailing Tolson, there was no doubt of the enduring love between these two men. The biographer has succeeded in humanizing the public image of the coldhearted secret police chief. And yet, the biographer is also relentless in her judgments. She has to be. After all, Hoover did many deplorable things. On Jan. 6, 1964, FBI agents installed a wiretap in a room occupied by Martin Luther King Jr. at Washington’s Willard Hotel. They were searching for evidence against the “clerical fraud and Marxist,” as the FBI’s domestic intelligence chief, William Sullivan, put it in a memo. And they apparently got it. Gage does not have the tapes; those are under court-ordered seal until 2027. But she quotes from a written summary of the recordings, first obtained by the historian David Gar- row. A sex orgy is described, involving King and a dozen other people. A Baptist minister is reportedly heard raping a woman. Gage reports that Hoover predicted that the Willard tapes would “destroy” King and used a racial epithet that, she observes, says “far more about Hoover’s own moral failings than about King’s.” Hoover undertook the wiretapping with the full knowledge of the White House; both Johnson and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy had authorized the electronic surveillance. On Jan. 14, 1964, Hoover sent a veteran agent, Cartha “Deke” DeLoach, to brief the White House. Johnson’s aide, Jenkins, read the FBI memo on the Willard tapes “word for word” and described King’s behavior as “repulsive.” Jenkins suggested that the news should be leaked to the press — but not before LBJ passed his landmark civil rights bill. Hoover, of course, obliged, and later that year he told a roomful of reporters, “I consider King to be the most notorious liar in the country.” “G-Man” is a very sad story. Hoover’s highest ideal was the nonpartisan public servant, dedicated to burnishing the notion that the federal government was a force for good. And yet by the ’60s, Gage shows, Hoover’s reactionary instincts prevailed, and his actions helped to sow distrust of the federal government from both the right and the left. In the end, he was a “confused, sometimes lonely man.” Gage concludes, “We cannot know our own story without understanding his, in all its high aspiration and terrible cruelty, and in its many human contradictions.” This book is an enduring, formidable accomplishment, a monument to the power of biography.

THRI L L ERS by Flynn Berry I n five new thrillers, outsiders come out of the woodwork: They peer behind the doors of a locked mansion, menace a corrupt police department, and threaten a small town, a Tokyo corporation and a powerful family. These outsiders are all damaged, which makes them formidable. As Josephine Hart wrote: “Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.” “Lavender House” by Lev AC Rosen (Forge) is a new take on a Golden Age crime novel. Its 1950s setting is richly cinematic, with gin martinis, bananas foster and a fantastic mid-century soundtrack. Lavender House is a grand estate outside San Francisco where the family and staff are queer; their home is the one place where they can live freely and openly. After their matriarch is killed, her widow hires a private investigator to determine who among them is a murderer. Everything about the crime — the perpetrator, the victim, the motive — has a deeper meaning. After all, as one character says, “Everything we do is criminalized.” “You’re on the wrong side, sister,” a young man tells Detective Inaya Rahman after a clash with the police, in Ausma Zehanat Khan’s “Blackwater Falls.” Inaya is harassed by her fellow police officers and distrusted by much of her town. But she wants to change the police from the inside and to find justice for Razan Elkader, a young Syrian refugee who was murdered, her body arranged like a crucifixion. Khan expands this police procedural to encompass war, border crossings, domestic terrorism and resistance. In a violent, divided town, Inaya is our moral center, with an unstinting gaze. “Blackwater Falls” is a tense and propulsive read from the start all the way through to its surprising, piercingly sad final chapter. In Wanda M. Morris’s “Anywhere You Run,” two sisters are in jeopardy as they flee their hometown in the Jim Crow-era South: One has killed the man who attacked her, the other is single and pregnant. Separately, both sisters journey away from Mississippi, relying on their strength and intelligence to outmaneuver brutal police officers and bigoted White business executives, “monsters draped in seersucker suits and straw fedoras.” As the sisters try to outrun their pasts, the fast-paced narrative makes for heart-in-your-throat reading; the reasons they must flee feel, unfortunately, all too current. A sprawling, absorbing saga, “Lady Joker Volume Two” examines a vast web of characters affected by a kidnapping and sabotage case in Tokyo. The action moves fluidly from news desks to corporate offices, as the police and press track a shadowy crime group calling itself Lady Joker. Yuichiro Goda, a police officer posing as a bodyguard, is an outsider in a realm of salarymen. A companion tells him to polish his shoes, to better fit in: “Look at the shoes of the bigwigs at those corporations. The gleam could blind you, you know what I mean? That shows the fortress around their hearts.” Kaoru Takamura is a lauded crime writer in Japan, and “Lady Joker,” translated by Marie Iida and Allison Markin Powell, shows us why. In Catherine Steadman’s latest thriller, “The Family Game,” a woman engaged to the eldest son of a rich, powerful dynasty receives a tape from the family patriarch describing a series of crimes. Is the tape a confession, a test or a game? Over Thanksgiving, Krampusnacht and Christmas, Harriet Reed is drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse with the Holbeck family. Steadman, an actress who appeared on “Downton Abbey,” constructs the family’s glamorous world with wit and a knowing eye. “The Family Game” is both sharply modern and timeless, with strains of King Lear, Dickens and P.D. James’s postwar holiday chillers. Flynn Berry is the author of “Under the Harrow,” “A Double Life” and “Northern Spy.”
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ B5 EE Book World Science fiction has long been a moral literature, using extrapolation to probe the impact on humankind of technology, politics, religion, gender, race and the Michael environment. That it has Dirda come to be seen as a genre worthy of respect — indeed as a major current in the mainstream of modern fiction — can be attributed to several causes, and one of them is 1979’s “The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction,” edited and largely written by Peter Nicholls and John Clute. The Australian Nicholls and the Canadian Clute, both then living in London, were first and foremost serious critics who applied their incisive intelligence, wide and deep reading in all branches of literature, and scrupulous bibliographical scholarship to the elucidation of a then-oft-despised genre. The encyclopedia — later expanded in its 1993 second edition and now continuously updated and freely available online — energized a slow-moving paradigm shift: Henceforth, science fiction could no longer be regarded as simply kids’ stuff. Today, Clute remains the benevolent godfather of sf criticism, but Nicholls essentially stopped writing after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2000. He died in 2018 at age 78 at his home in Melbourne. This year, however, David Langford has assembled much of his friend’s literary journalism — some of it written originally for The Washington Post Book World during the 1980s — in “Genre Fiction: The Roaring Years” (Ansible Editions). It makes for irresistible reading and a reminder of the sheer zest that Nicholls brought to everything he wrote. From the get-go, this onetime academic insisted that sf was a branch of literature, repeatedly emphasizing that “there is no single point between realistic fiction and science fiction where we can confidently draw a boundary line.” In a long piece devoted to the genre’s forerunners, he boldly includes “Gilgamesh,” Plato’s “Republic,” Dante’s “Commedia,” Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and even Melville’s “Moby Dick.” In these canonical classics, Nicholls underscores a reliance on techniques and motifs later central to modern science fiction, such as the defamiliarizing of the familiar, the creation of a sense of wonder, and a preoccupation with theological and philosophical speculation, as well as their use of such tropes as the marvelous voyage, utopias and dystopias, and encounters with the alien. Of “Beowulf,” he notes: “The story of the hero discovering his own capacity for kingship after a series of arduous tests . . . returns new-minted many times every year. It is, for instance, Robert Heinlein’s basic plot, and he has used it at least a dozen times.” Nicholls’s literary journalism is often hilarious, with Hunter S. Thompson-like reports about drunken weekends at science Reminders that a bookish life can be so fulfilling fiction conventions, but it also features meticulous analyses of Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Farthest Shore” and Gene Wolfe’s “The Urth of the New Sun.” Befitting an admirer of the ultraserious F.R. Leavis, he holds the genre to high standards. At an exhibition of science fiction art, Nicholls observes “serried ranks of fantasy pictures, nearly unbelievably imaginative in exactly the same kitschy way as each other.” Criticizing Larry Niven’s “Ringworld,” he rightly insists that “if a technical concept is not given meaning in a human context it simply does not matter.” Literature, after all, is about why it matters to be alive. As editor of the journal Foundation in the 1970s, Nicholls recalls that he encouraged “analytical reviewing that goes beyond synopsis to make critical judgments and give readings of subtexts.” However, he does take an affectionate swipe at his friend John Clute, “perhaps our finest reviewer,” who “writes so vividly of subtext that he occasionally forgets, as he inhales the electrifying pure oxygen of his inbuilt aqualung, that there is an ordinary text up there on the surface, a position he visits only occasionally with a magisterial gruffle and spout before he sounds again into our sf deeps.” That cetaceous simile deliberately mirrors Clute’s own baroque style and might also be the best description of his critical persona that anyone has ever given. As evidence, consider “Sticking to the End” (Beccon), the seventh and most recent collection of Clute’s reviews and essays. Throughout, the syntax is punchy and slangy, while the diction often grows brazenly recondite. To paraphrase a line from “Jaws”: When you start reading Clute, you’re going to need a bigger dictionary. In just one review I had to look up the words “aliquot,” “sophont” and “prelusive.” That said, some of the critical terms he draws on, such as “Godgame,” “Mysterious Stranger” and “Slingshot Ending,” have passed into wide use and are crisply defined in the “Encyclopedia of Science Fiction,” where, it should also be noted, his entries — hundreds, perhaps thousands of them — are not only authoritative but plainly written. Above all, “Sticking to the End” demonstrates that Clute, after more than half a century in the salt mines, continues to approach new works of science fiction with the zeal of a 20-year-old, albeit one who can draw on an unrivaled familiarity with the field’s entire history. Begin, for example, his essay on David Mitchell — or those on Jonathan Lethem and Nalo Hopkinson — and you may initially feel gobsmacked or slow-witted, but if you pay attention you will be rewarded by seeing more deeply into the work under review than you thought possible. Clute’s analytic flair is no less impressive in the second half of his book, where he comments on dozens of films from “The Bride of Frankenstein” to “Wonder Woman.” Among science fiction critics, there’s nobody more respected or admired. Let me briefly mention two additional collections of essays. I won’t say a lot about R.B. Russell’s “Fifty Forgotten Books” (And Other Stories) because I liked it so much I contributed a blurb to its back cover. But when this novelist, short-story writer and publisher (of Tartarus Press) discusses Roland Topor’s “The Tenant,” Denton Welch’s “In Youth Is Pleasure,” Pamela Hansford Johnson’s “The Unspeakable Skipton” or Rachel Ferguson’s “The Brontës Went to Woolworth’s,” he recalls where each title was bought and what it meant to him at the time and what he thinks of it now. As a result, these engaging, personal essays form a partial autobiography, reminding us that a bookish life can be an enviably fulfilling one. That’s certainly a sentiment G. Thomas Tanselle would agree with. As our leading authority on all aspects of bibliography and textual criticism, he often writes highly specialized articles, but that’s not true in the case of “Books in My Life” (Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia). Its centerpiece is “The Living Room: A Memoir,” in which the novels, scholarly nonfiction and journals in Tanselle’s Manhattan apartment, as well as various decorative objects, elicit memories of a happy childhood in Indiana, years as a teacher at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, his long tenure as vice president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and, above all, the many friends he has made during his career as a “scholarcollector.” Much of his library, he tells us, is kept in handsome, glass-faced barrister bookcases, totaling more than 100 stackable shelf units. May I express my quite serious envy? Two of this volume’s other essays closely consider the value of association copies — that is, copies with a noteworthy provenance — and the principles that guide a bibliographer. Perhaps the most exhilarating article, however, argues for the vital importance of “non-firsts” in the study of any book’s history and influence. Because first editions are so prized, not to say fetishized, few dealers bother to catalogue or even note a publisher’s subsequent reprintings of a popular title. As Tanselle recalls, “When I once purchased a copy of the twenty-first printing of ‘Main Street’ from a Chicago dealer (having checked my list to see that I did not own it), he remarked that I was probably the only person who would have bought it because it was the twenty-first printing.” As excellent as they are, none of the four books noted here are likely to go into a 21st printing. Still, that only means their lucky readers will just need to be content, as they doubtless will be, with a nice, crisp first edition. Michael Dirda is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The Washington Post Book World and the author of the memoir “An Open Book” and of four collections of essays: “Readings,” “Bound to Please,” “Book by Book” and “Classics for Pleasure.” A personal portrait of a troublingly beautiful landscape BY A C OURTNEY T ENZ t the very tip of the North Jutland Peninsula, a windswept sandbar narrows into the shape of an arrow before fading into the sea. Known locally as Grenen, a Danish word meaning “the branch,” the beach there provides a perspective unlike any other in the world. It is the place where the North Sea meets the Baltic Sea in an extraordinary, often violent embrace. In those waters, boats glide through one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. Across the straits, to the east, the lights of Gothenburg, Sweden, twinkle; Oslo’s harbor lies to the north; to the west, the Norwegian fjords rise out of the horizon. The seas form a sort of Scandinavian triangulation, at once connecting and separating the countries. The peninsula is not only Denmark’s terminus but also the ultimate stop on a reflective journey that writer and translator Dorthe Nors undertook while writing her first memoir, “A Line in the World: A Year on the North Sea Coast.” A finalist for the Man Booker International Prize for her works of fiction, Nors is one of Denmark’s best-known living writers. For this more personal endeavor, deftly translated by Caroline Waight, Nors turned to the landscape she grew up in, a place where she feels both connected and separate, where she can be as moody and expansive as the sea itself. The resulting travelogue captures a side to Denmark that few will find familiar — the literal and figurative opposite of the country’s cosmopolitan capital, Copenhagen. In the Copenhagen captured by 18thcentury painters, Nors writes, the “nation’s true nature” could be found: “a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, a Biedermeier idyll, bare of squalls, wilderness and drifting sands.” The city’s contemporary postcard-perfect image has become a more urbanized version of those paintings, the bicycle thoroughfares and rows of colorful harborfront houses a contrast to the western coast’s sand dunes and ocean views and acres of farmland filled with the sounds of gulls. Yet it is in Copenhagen — a place where, she notes, time is laborious — that the story begins. Nors determines that the life she’d been drawn to in the city no longer held its charms; she trades in a fast-paced existence in an apartment above a hash dealer, with a view overlooking a hair salon, and returns to the quieter, more picturesque Jutland of her youth. As she explores seaside villages that appear both recognizable and foreign, longforgotten memories from her childhood summers spent near the coast arise, as do the suspicions of some of the locals. “I don’t belong here,” she writes, her discomfort at the villagers’ reception of her (or lack thereof ) palpable. “But I have roots here.” Those roots are visible in the anecdotes Nors sprinkles throughout the memoir, with each of its 14 essays devoted to a different section of the unforgiving North Sea coast. Acknowledging that memory is a “tenacious ghost,” Nors relates snippets from her youth — the way she watched a man catch fire at a Midsummer festival; the time her mother disappeared for a week to learn art in a private studio; her father’s startled reaction to watching on television as the Skarre Cliff disappeared into the ocean during a storm in 1978. She intertwines her stories with the history of the region, retelling the tales of the Vikings who once traversed the North Sea and whose shipwrecks are still being uncovered in the deep. Later, along the Iron Coast, she writes about boats run aground or tossed by tall waves into the shore. “Mass graves up and down the whole coast,” Nors writes with a whiff of foreboding. In a similar spirit, she studies the bunkers and fortifications that once made up the Nazis’ planned Atlantic Wall, contemplating the remnants of their doomed attempt to protect the entirety of the western European coastline from perceived military threats. Though the project succumbed to the elements and geopolitics, the Germans’ endeavor scarred the landscape and left the shoreline dotted with land mines for decades — buried traces of fascist hubris. Though these memorable historical tidbits are among the most visceral details in her work, “A Line in the World” is as much an appraisal of this troublingly beautiful landscape as it is an exploration of Nors’s identity. In her attempt to understand the shapeshifting Danish peninsula, combing over the history, traditions and myths of the region, she is making sense of this world and her place within it. Returning home with a renewed desire to leave forces that confrontation between childhood dreams and adult realities for Nors, who ultimately describes herself as “a movement pinned in one place.” In that sense, this is no tourist’s guide to Denmark’s relatively barren coastline. Instead of dwelling on overfamiliar marketing concepts like hygge or references to Nobu, as writers fresh to Denmark often do, Nors reflects on the vital specificity of a place not often frequented by visitors, as well as its impact on the psyche. Capturing how the locals simply live, she details, for example, the legend behind the porcelain dogs she sees dotting the windows in one fishing village. After a woman went missing years ago, residents burst into her apartment to find she had left behind a robust collection of porcelain dogs. Thinking MAJA HITIJ/GETTY IMAGES Sea meets shore in Samso, Denmark. In her memoir, Danish writer Dorthe Nors explores the relatively barren coastal region where she grew up, a place where locals live simply and few tourists visit.

Such details provide rare insight into a region where daily life is often spent in monotonous solitude and where tourists and new residents alike can find it difficult to break through the tough facades; where the slower tempo of life is driven by the sea and its moods, the rhythms tethered to a predictable yet finicky tide. Indeed, it seems that here the tide determines not only when boats can sail but also everything else: Births peak when the water rolls in, deaths register as it recedes. Yet the “fierce forces at play,” Nors reminds us in story after story, can toss away centuries-old constructs, sinking entire cities or swallowing churches and homes in blowing sand. Just as the sands literally shift and the coastline changes from “painfully flat” to “incomprehensibly epic,” so, too, does Nors’s response to the region. There are days, midwinter, when daylight never seems to break. Increasingly aware of the way her mood is affected by the landscape, Nors excavates the feeling of disquiet that arises within her through a consideration of her personal narrative. “You’ve got to be careful with the stories you tell other people,” she writes. “And you’ve got to be careful what stories you tell yourself.” It is in these terms that the book can be read as a memoir, scarce as revelatory details about the author may be. But “A Line in the World” is, more pointedly, one of the first books to capture the unique region in English. In prose that is as sparse and quiet as the marshy Jutland Peninsula itself, the book provides a snapshot of life in a location that is full of history and at the same time ever-shifting, its future uncertain.

B6 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Book World Ovid wrote about rape. Let’s not gloss over it. ISTOCK S BY S TEPHANIE M C C ARTER tories of rape are uncomfortably prominent in the literary canon, and no canonical work includes more such tales than Ovid’s “Metamorphoses.” Apollo, pierced by Cupid’s arrow, pursues the nymph Daphne, who becomes a tree to escape him. Jupiter, king of the gods, violently assaults Io, whom he then turns into a cow. The nymph Callisto endures sexual violence at the hands of Jupiter, then physical violence at the hands of Juno, his queen, who turns her into a bear. Nearly 50 acts of rape or attempted rape appear in the epic, and many of these in turn have inspired significant works of art and literature, such as Bernini’s “Apollo and Daphne,” Titian’s “The Rape of Europa” and Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus.” Familiar as they often are, these stories present a challenge to translators: How should one render in English acts that are often grotesquely violent in Ovid’s original Latin? For decades, many have simply sidestepped the issue, obscuring violations with romantic euphemisms or even suggesting, through subtle turns of phrase, that the women in Ovid’s tales consented to assault. As a classicist, one of my principal goals as I set out to prepare my own new translation of Ovid’s epic poem was the clear and accurate rendering of these scenes of rape. It was, I thought, critical to treat sexual violence in the “Metamorphoses” as frankly as Ovid himself does. These issues were central for me in part because I regularly teach the “Metamorphoses,” and the presence of sexual violence in it has made its place in classrooms fraught. In 2015, an op-ed penned by undergraduates at Columbia University went viral for its criticism of a professor who focused on “the beauty of the language and the splendor of the imagery” in the epic without adequately addressing the presence of rape. The piece launched a sprawling debate about “trigger warnings” that led to a string of think-pieces, some of which were sympathetic to the students’ concerns and some of which denigrated the undergrads as “snowflakes” who could not handle the difficult aspects of great literature. It seemed to me that there was a fundamental misunderstanding at the heart of this debate. The Columbia students were not trying to censor material involving rape — they were simply asking that such violence be framed and scrutinized as violence. It was the unconsidered aestheticization that troubled them — the implicit premise that this was an unimpeachable work of beauty that could only elevate without ever doing harm. And this is true beyond Columbia. The idea that overly sensitive students are seeking en masse to censor such material runs counter to my two decades teaching in college classrooms. I have never had a student object to the frank discussion of rape in the text. If anything, contemporary students are much more prepared to discuss this difficult aspect of literature than many from my own generation. What they are not prepared to do is accept it uncritically. Readers need editions of the epic that will facilitate such analysis. Notably, the translator’s role in communicating rape went unexamined in the larger trigger-warning debate that followed the Columbia op-ed, despite the fact that most of those who read Ovid’s text do so in translation. It was David Raeburn’s early21st-century English, not Ovid’s Latin, that the Columbia students were reading. Translations that euphemize rape risk giving readers the impression that Ovid was unambiguously flippant about sexual violence when in fact he underscores the psychological and physical trauma it produces. In the case of Apollo and Daphne, one of the tales cited by the Columbia students, Raeburn adds details that are simply not present in Ovid’s Latin and that amplify the power of the male gaze. When Apollo runs his eyes over Daphne’s body, for instance, Ovid tells us simply that he looks at her “lips” and “fingers” and “arms,” yet Raeburn goes further. In his rendering, Daphne’s lips are “teasingly tempting,” her fingers “delicate” and her arms “shapely.” When the hard bark runs up Daphne’s soft torso, “mollia praecordia,” Raeburn has it surround her “soft white bosom.” The accumulation of these alterations distorts Ovid’s presentation of Daphne’s body, drawing readers into the role of voyeur and making it seem like the narrator revels in her objectification in ways the Latin does not justify. In Raeburn, it is as if her body simply invites Apollo’s assault. In translating Ovid’s scenes of rape, I took care to use English words that reflect his own language of violence, which ties rape to the epic’s larger theme of abusive power. The most common Latin word Ovid uses for rape is “vis,” or “force.” This was indeed a legal term for rape in Rome, although it was also applied to other violent acts, such as armed insurrection or wielding weapons within the city’s bounds — acts that undermined the Roman citizen’s expectation of safety and bodily autonomy. The A statue of the Roman poet Ovid. Stephanie McCarter writes that in her new translation of “Metamorphoses,” she treats sexual violence as frankly as Ovid himself does. punishments for rape by “vis” ranged from personal retaliation to loss of citizenship and even death. If we judge the epic’s rapes by the standards of the Romans, they are appalling crimes. When “vis” appears in the epic, whether in the context of rape or not, I consistently use the word “force” to enable readers to connect various types of violence. Ovid frequently pairs the word “vis” with the word “pati,” “to suffer,” which can denote being the penetrated partner in a sexual act. The phrase “vim pati” (“to suffer force”) becomes in Ovid an almost technical term for rape, as in Apollo’s rape of Dryope, which I translate, with Ovid’s own directness, as she “had suffered / a forceful rape.” In Ovid, a perpetrator may also “exert force” against another, as when he uses the phrase “vim tulit” to describe the river god Cephisus’s rape of Liriope or when Leucothoe accuses the sun god of raping her. Although translators do occasionally use the word “rape,” they are highly inconsistent, more often watering down Ovid’s language of force, with “vis” becoming “ardent wooing” or “advances” or simply disappearing altogether. In Stanley Lombardo (2010), for instance, Dryope “lost her virginity” to Apollo. In Allen Mandelbaum (1993), Cephisus “had his way” with Liriope. And in Horace Gregory (1958), Leucothoe says the sun god “dazzled” her. Sometimes it’s necessary to deviate slightly from strict fidelity to Ovid’s exact verbiage to capture what the poet’s words would have meant to his original audience. Ovid’s other main Latin term for denoting sexual violence is “rapio,” from which the English “rape” is derived. Although the primary meaning of “rapio” is “snatch” or “steal,” Ovid uses it repeatedly in tales of sexual assault. The girl Mestra, for instance, identifies the god Neptune as her rapist by saying that he possesses the “raptae praemia virginitatis” — “the prize of her stolen virginity.” In such passages, I simply use the word “rape.” In my translation, Mestra says, “You who raped me — stole my prized virginity.” The most accurate translation is not always the most literal. Jupiter’s rape of Io similarly calls for accuracy over literalness. Ovid here uses just two words to narrate the rape: “rapuit pudorem,” literally “he stole her chastity,” which I translate as he “raped her, chaste no more.” Translating this phrase too literally into English blunts its violence, making it sound old-fashioned or euphemistic when Ovid’s language is neither. Procne later uses a similar phrase when she threatens to castrate Tereus, her sister’s rapist, by slicing off the organ that “stole” her sister’s “chastity.” The violence of such theft is matched by the violence of her threat. Translators have, of course, found ways to obscure and dilute such language. In Charles Martin’s 2004 translation, for instance, Jupiter simply “dishonored” Io, an act that leaves the specific crime unclear. Going beyond euphemism, Gregory rewrites the scene as consensual in his translation. Rather than “steal Io’s chastity,” his Jupiter “overcame her scruples,” a phrase suggesting seduction rather than rape. In his 1986 version, A.D. Melville uses the euphemizing “ravish,” a word that translators repeatedly employ in Ovid’s rape scenes. As the Oxford English Dictionary explains, this is now an archaic term for rape that more commonly implies “ecstatic delight” or “sensuous pleasure.” It appears frequently in the titles of romance novels. Even the most horrific stories of “vis” have been euphemized in translation. In one especially brutal episode, both Apollo and Mercury rape a 14-year-old girl named Chione. Mercury makes her fall asleep with his wand, then rapes her. In my translation: “Unconscious from its mighty touch, she suffers / the god’s forced rape.” Other translators obscure the rape or give Chione agency she lacks. In Mandelbaum’s version, she “submits / in deep sleep, to his godly violence.” It is unclear how Chione can “submit” to violence in her sleep. Rolfe Humphries’s 1955 translation reframes Mercury’s “vis” as “power”: “Under his touch she lay, and felt his power.” The girl here seems awed into submission rather than bent to Mercury’s will by force. If we want readers to consider the brutality present in great literature, we must give them the tools to do so. And with a writer like Ovid, a well-translated text is the first of those tools. Ovid is arguably the canonical poet of sexual violence, and as such he offers a rich space for considering how we think, speak and write about such trauma. We need to use and normalize the words “rape” and “force.” When translators refuse to back down from such language, they can treat sexual violence as violence, allowing readers to speak its name, scrutinize it, ponder how it works and recognize how it continues to transform too many of us. Stephanie McCarter is a classics professor at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn. Her new translation of Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” is now available. He chooses the quotes the world will remember — or forget BY I R ON C HARLES f you’ve ever tried to find a good quotation, you know what a frustrating hall of mirrors the internet can be. Clever quips appear everywhere, but they’re often unreliable and almost always missing source information. “The internet is a minefield of danger in tracking down quotes,” Geoffrey O’Brien tells me. “There’s just so much bad information out there.” O’Brien knows this problem better than anyone else on Earth. He’s the general editor of the new edition of “Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations.” “There’s a long list of people to whom are attributed the most absurd quotes: Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Mark Twain. I see quotes attributed to Buddha that sound like they come from some market research firm.” But there’s another force at work, too, beyond mere invention. “Quotes often are improved as they’re distorted over time,” O’Brien says. “It’s like a folk song. They get compressed. The rhythm of it gets slightly improved. So, often we leave a footnote: ‘Usually quoted as . . .’ ” The fact that “Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations” persists is something to celebrate. Since the original edition was prepared in 1855 by Massachusetts bookseller John Bartlett, this compendium of remarks has swelled to more than 1,400 pages. But it’s still irresistible, clearly arranged in chronological order and helpfully indexed by speaker and subject. It’s O’Brien’s terrifying job to decide what gets included — and what gets removed and assigned to oblivion. “Obviously, the book cannot just keep getting thicker and thicker,” he says. “For as much as you put in, you have to more or less take out a comparable amount. Some things are in because they’re beautiful. Some things are in because they’re pithy. Some things are in because they’re historically important, although they may be appalling.” This is not, he makes clear, a collection of “uplifting quotes to put on the refrigerator with a magnet.” As it has evolved, “Bartlett’s” has become an ongoing cultural record of what was considered significant in every decade. Of course, Caesar, Homer, Shakespeare (lots) and Milton are always there. But this year’s edition — the 19th! — adds more than 3,500 new quotations, including lines from Greta Thunberg’s speech at the 2018 United Nations climate summit and Amanda Gorman’s presidential inaugura- tion poem. You’ll find Colin Kaepernick on his refusal to stand for the national anthem, Marie Kondo on those sparks of joy and Kellyanne Conway on alternative facts. Some of these quotations will accrue weight and significance over the years; others will eventually feel irrelevant. “A future editor — and I trust there will be future editors — will make their own judgments,” O’Brien says. Winston Churchill once said, “Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently.” I know that’s true because it’s quoted in “Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations.” This article was excerpted from our free Book Club newsletter.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ B7 EE Book World A scientific look at spiritual experiences E BY COURTESY OF THE AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS ASSOCIATION F ICTION DANIEL BURKE arlier this year, I took part in a clinical trial investigating the effects of psilocybin — the substance that puts the magic in magic mushrooms — on treatment-resistant depression. On dosing day, I wore eyeshades while lying on a small bed under the watch of two psychologists. Describing my trip makes me feel like someone who writes emails in all-caps, so I’ll be brief. I found myself in a desert, surrounded by a cold, white emptiness, a vista similar to the planet Tatooine in “Star Wars.” A tower soared up from the sand and then swirled away, a vision that struck me as an epiphany: Everything that arises eventually falls. Banal, but oddly comforting. Maybe depression would pass, too, someday. Shortly after, I was asked to take a survey called the Mystical Experience Questionnaire, rating aspects of my trip on a scale from zero (none) to 5 (extreme). Q: Had I experienced freedom from the limitations of my personal self ? No. Zero. Q: Feelings of ecstasy? I wish. Zero. Q: A sense of reverence? Nope. Zero. Q: Certainty of an encounter with ultimate reality? I paused, uncertain. As strange as these questions may seem, scores on this questionnaire can predict the success of psychedelic therapy. The degree to which my depression abated might correlate with, and perhaps depend upon, how deep my spiritual experience had been. Whether you call such experiences religious, spiritual, self-transcendent or mystical, stories of souls shaken by intense encounters with the supernatural occur in almost every religion, from Saint Paul seeing the light to the Buddha’s awakening under a fig tree. Despite that history, copping to such an experience is more likely to get you labeled mentally ill than a mystic. But that’s rapidly changing, write David B. Yaden and Andrew B. Newberg in their new book, “The Varieties of Spiritual Experience.” While witnessing strange signs and wonders can indeed be a symptom of psychosis, new studies suggest that for many people these experiences are deeply meaningful and transformative, with the power to positively reshape their moods, beliefs and behavior. They’re also surprisingly common, with close to a third of Americans saying they’ve had a “profound religious experience or awakening that changed the direction” of their life. As psychedelic therapy becomes more accessible, that number will probably rise. The increased practice of that therapy is “bringing spiritual experiences into the center of research and clinical discussion,” Yaden and Newberg write. “It appears that psychedelics — and the spiritual experiences that they elicit — are poised to transform psychiatry.” The scholars frame their work as a successor to William James’s masterpiece, “The Varieties of Religious Experience” (1902), which pioneered the scientific study of religion. James, a Harvard-trained psychologist and philosopher who also studied medicine, still looms over the field. (The Mystical Experience Questionnaire is based on his thinking.) It’s a stretch to say that updating his “Varieties” is like writing a Third Testament, but it’s in that vein. Yaden and Newberg are well-suited to risk the heresy. Yaden is an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he works at the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research. Newberg, a leader in the emerging field of neurotheology, is research director at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Thomas Jefferson University and the author of several books, including “How God Changes Your Brain.” “The Varieties of Spiritual Experience” lands as psychedelics ride a surging wave of interest, due in part to the popularity of books like Michael Pollan’s “How to Change Your Mind.” (Yaden recently co-wrote an academic paper that hoped for a bursting of the “psychedelic hype bubble.”) But psychedelics form a small fraction of the book’s wide scope, which includes an Washington Post Hardcover Bestsellers 1 THE PASSENGER (Knopf, $30).

AGSANDREW/GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO investigation of the science behind altered states, a proposal for new ways to classify spiritual experiences and philosophical reflections on the metaphysical reality — or not — of these supernatural events. The scholars model their approach after James, who rescued religious experiences from both metaphysicians, who saw them as threats to orthodoxy, and materialists, who dismissed them as madness. Like James, Yaden and Newberg aren’t selling a particular idea but offer multifaceted analyses of dozens of spiritual testimonials, drawing insights from cross-cultural studies, psychology, psychiatry, biology, pharmacology and neuroscience. If the book sometimes speeds through subjects, providing overviews rather than deep analysis, the writing is careful and accessible. Yaden and Newberg don’t display James’s profound insights into human nature (this is no slight; James was a genuine genius), but they do benefit from more than a century of scientific progress. Some neuroimaging research, for example, suggests that the intensity of one’s religious feelings is related to dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in the brain’s reward system. One study found that patients with Parkinson’s disease, which depletes dopamine, tend to become less religious. In another, believers asked to “feel the spirit” exhibited a spike in dopamine. One patient whose corpus callosum, which connects the brain’s hemispheres, had been severed was asked whether he believed in God. One hand (controlled by one hemisphere) reportedly wrote “yes”; the other hand (controlled by the other hemisphere) wrote “no.” Yaden and Newberg caution against inferring too much from these studies, saying they offer clues but don’t come close to solving the scientific mysteries behind spiritual experiences. Spoiler alert: “There is no ‘God spot’ or ‘spiritual part’ of the brain,” the scholars report. Since James, most scholars have settled into two camps: perennialists, who argue that all mystical experiences are essentially the same, and constructivists, who counter THE VARIETIES OF SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE 21st Century Research and Perspectives By David B. Yaden and Andrew B. Newberg Oxford University Press. 430 pp. $34.95 that they are inextricable from one’s cultural context. Yaden and Newberg stake out middle ground, analyzing thousands of reported descriptions and detailed surveys about spiritual experiences, which they define as “substantially altered states of consciousness involving a perception of, and connection to, an unseen order of some kind.” Under that broad umbrella, the authors propose six subcategories: numinous (communion with the divine); revelatory (visions or voices); synchronicity (events bearing hidden messages); unity (feeling one with all things); aesthetic awe or wonder (profound encounters with art or nature); and paranormal (perceiving entities such as ghosts or angels). The boundaries between these definitions can be fuzzy, Yaden and Newberg write, and a single experience can overlap multiple categories. But the distinctions can be important, especially as spirituality becomes part of mental health treatment. It can be hard to talk about the moments that interest James, Yaden and Newberg, much less make sense of them. I’m still not sure I had a spiritual experience. (In such cases, Yaden and Newberg suggest the “orgasm test”: If you’re not sure you had one, you probably didn’t.) As psychedelics move further into the psychiatric mainstream, the long-term integration of spiritual experiences will prove as important as the moments of the heady trips themselves. To borrow a line from the religion scholar Huston Smith, the goal of spiritual life is not altered states but altered traits. Yaden and Newberg demystify these enigmatic events, providing a “field guide for identifying the various types of spiritual experiences one might spot in the wild.” Their sensible and sensitive work should sit comfortably on the shelf next to James’s. As for the question about whether I encountered ultimate reality, who can really say? It felt real to me. I rated it 2 out of 5, a cautious yes. Daniel Burke is a writer in Maryland.

B8 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 nonFiction LUCY JONES FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Out of unbearable loss, a vision of radical hope I BY D ANIEL O PPENHEIMER n December 1995, the philosopher and psychoanalyst Jonathan Lear published “The Shrink Is In” in the New Republic. Although it was commissioned as a tactical response to recent media attacks on Sigmund Freud, the essay transcended the occasion. It remains one of the most efficient, balanced and lucid defenses of Freud ever written for a lay audience. It was also a manifesto of sorts for Lear, who is a unique figure on the American intellectual landscape, possibly our nation’s only practicing psychoanalyst and credentialed philosopher. “What is at stake in all of these attacks?” wrote Lear, now a professor of philosophy and social thought at the University of Chicago. “If this were merely the attack on one historical figure, Freud, or on one professional group, psychoanalysts, the hubbub would have died down long ago. After all, psychoanalysis nowadays plays a minor role in the mental health professions; Freud is less and less often taught or studied. . . . The real object of attack — for which Freud is only a stalking horse — is the very idea of humans having unconscious motivation. A battle may be fought over Freud, but the war is over our culture’s image of the human soul. Are we to see humans as having depth — as complex psychological organisms who generate layers of meaning which lie beneath the surface of their own understanding? Or are we to take ourselves as transparent to ourselves?” I’ve been following Lear for the last few decades, since reading his short book on Aristotle when I was a college freshman. When he has a new book coming out, as he does on Tuesday, with the publication of “Imagining the End: Mourning and Ethical Life,” it is an event for me. It should be an event for all of us, as we struggle to find hope and wisdom in this time of catastrophe, hyperstimulation and stupidity. Born in New York City in 1949, Lear was raised in West Hartford, Conn., the son of a civic-minded surgeon and an unhappy suburban housewife. He went to college at Yale, graduating in 1970, then spent most of the next 15 years studying and teaching philosophy at the University of Cambridge, in England. It was after his father’s death, at the suggestion of his cousin Norman Lear, the eminent TV writer and producer, that Lear first dipped his toe into therapy. “He took me aside after the memorial service,” Lear recently told me over Zoom, “and said, ‘This would be a good time to talk to someone about your feelings.’ ” Lear took the advice and found the experience incredibly useful. “I was amazed by how helpful it was,” he says. A subsequent experience with a psychoanalytically trained therapist in Cambridge introduced him, in much more depth, to the Freudian view of the world. When he moved back to the United States to take a faculty job at Yale, he also became a student at the Western New England Psychoanalytic Institute and Society, in New Haven. Over the past few decades, while teaching at Yale and the University of Chicago, he has treated hundreds of patients and mentored dozens of other psychoanalysts. He has written, as well, a series of books that fuse psychoanalysis and philosophy, including “Love and Its Place in Nature: A Philosophical Interpretation of Freudian Psychoanalysis,” “Open Minded: Working Out the Logic of the Soul,” “Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation” and “Therapeutic Action: An Earnest Plea for Irony.” Lear is a lovely and subtle writer, someone who has a rare capacity to introduce ways of seeing and interrogating the world that dignify our confusion and pain while also opening up new possibilities for moving forward. He can simplify complexity and complicate what appears to be simple, depending on the need and the audience. Much of Lear’s writing in “Imagining the End” is of the latter kind. He subjects to close inspection “ordinary fleeting moments” that might otherwise be unreflectively assimilated. In a chapter titled “When Meghan Married Harry,” Lear pauses for a while on Meghan Markle’s confession to Oprah Winfrey that she and her prince had a secret wedding ceremony, with just the two of them and the Archbishop of Canterbury, a few days before the big public one. They did so, Markle said, to “live authentically.” This claim becomes, for Lear, an opportunity both to credit Markle’s intuition, that there’s something “phony” about the spectacle of the modern royal wedding, and to question whether her notion of authenticity (which involves, among other things, telling secrets to Oprah) is grounded in a sufficiently rich view of what it entails to live the good life. Or whether instead she’s gotten trapped, like so many of us, “one level up,” aware of where something in the culture has gone terribly wrong but stuck within the culture’s exhausted concepts and narratives and therefore unable to arrive at a true alternative. “She subverts the ritual only to be snagged by the concept,” Lear observes. What might remedy this, Lear writes, drawing on Aristotle, is a culture more alive with the imaginative and intellectual practices of the humanities, a culture in which we engage with the past, and with its greatest thinkers and artists, not to revere or return to the past but to use its resources to reimagine our present and future. “When things are going well,” he writes, “we develop a capacity for critical playfulness, for re-creation and change of the very concepts with which we are thinking. We are freed up for a poetic reinterpretation of authenticity, as well as opened up to the possibility of giving up the concept altogether and living according to different concepts.” A flourishing culture would be one in which teachers — true teachers — are everywhere. In class, at home, onstage, on screen, on the field, at work, in temple, at the bar. In “Exemplars and the End of the World,” he dwells on a schoolyard incident from his childhood to explore the importance of what he calls “local exemplars” — the people we encounter in our everyday lives who stop us in our tracks, unexpectedly, and change the way we see things from that point on. “He was wearing a trench coat, belted in the middle,” remembers Lear of his elementary school teacher Mr. McMahon, who chastised the young Lear for cursing on the playground. “His hair was in a crew cut, common among men at that time. He might have been a police detective in a television show. He came over, looked me in the eyes, and said in a low, calm voice: ‘We do not use profane language on the playground.’ He then turned around and walked away. That was it.” There was no punishment. Mr. McMahon never referenced it again. No one else on the playground has thought of it since. For Lear, though, at the age of 10, it was so meaningful that he’s spent the last 63 years reckoning with it, and it has become the seed of a philosophical theory of what it takes to serve in the role of local exemplar for someone else. It requires a humanistic spirit but also a kind of beauty and mystery. McMahon was able to occupy such psychological space in a boy’s head, Lear writes, in no small part because what he said, and how he said it, IMAGINING THE END Mourning and Ethical Life By Jonathan Lear Belknap/ Harvard. 162 pp. $29.95 were enigmatic. The interaction was pregnant with meaning that the boy could sense but not quite grasp. The playground was a realm that had unwritten rules of behavior. There was a category of things that were “profane” (a word that Lear, like most 10-year-olds, didn’t know) and by implication another category of things that were not profane. Mr. McMahon seemed to understand that Lear didn’t really know what he was doing when he swore — there was an innocence to it — and so there was no punishment beyond that brief censure. And there was a verve to the delivery of the line, consonant with McMahon’s whole trench-coat-police-detective style, that charged the moment with almost cinematic energy. “I have . . . imagined him smiling to himself, indiscernible to the outside world,” Lear writes, “and thinking, ‘I’ve given that little fellow something to think about for the rest of his life.’ ” This is a lot of meaning to hang on a 10-second interaction, but that is Lear’s style, and his point. “A universe can open up from an instant, if you’ll just look at it and spend time with it,” he told me. We live in a world overflowing with meaning. We can’t process it all or dwell on it all the time, but we can process more than we typically do. We can do so as thoughtfully as possible, and we can return again and again to those things whose meaning seems to just exceed our grasp, cultivating a virtuous habit of creative repetition and reinvention. To do this, it helps enormously to attend more closely to the people in our lives, like Mr. McMahon, who are “the first responders, as it were, to our need for the experience of something ‘higher,’ ‘noble,’ ‘beautiful.’ ” We can resist, too, the kinds of answers we so often reach for when confronted with overwhelming difficulty and loss: anger, resentment, despair, withdrawal, fantasy. These only exacerbate the problem, especially when they operate under the veil of politics and ideology. Lear begins his new book by recalling a lecture he attended on climate change, zeroing in on a moment during the Q&A when someone in the audience joked that we deserved an Earth that was so hot and poisoned that it could no longer support human life. We deserved our own extinction. “A young academic stood up,” Lear writes, “and said simply, ‘Let me tell you something: We will not be missed!’ ” It was a good enough quip, and people laughed. Then they moved on. Except Lear. Why is it funny, he wondered, this idea that we may destroy ourselves as a species? It was a release, of course. Climate change is a heavy subject; gallows humor exists because laughter is one of the ways we cope with heaviness. But it was more than just a release. It was a retreat, Lear argues, from the intolerable sadness of the situation and from the intolerable complexity of the human experience. We are creators and destroyers, beautiful and cruel. In our absence, ecosystems may heal, but the world will have lost something irreplaceable: us. In an important sense the world will have lost the capacity even to see itself as having lost something. We will not be missed because there will be no human consciousness alive capable of doing the missing. Making light of this scenario may feel, in the moment, like a nod toward cosmic (or karmic) justice, but it reads to Lear like an expression of despair and misanthropy. The healthier alternative to such despair is mourning, which for Lear is a more expansive activity than just grieving a loss. It is at the center of what it means to be human and to grow and develop psychologically. It is a creative response to what has been lost, whether that’s a beloved spouse, a past version of ourselves, a classroom of murdered children or the Earth as it once was. In the face of loss, our brains go to work. “We get busy emotionally, imaginatively, and cognitively,” Lear writes, “and at least try to make sense of what has happened.” In the face of unbearable loss, of the kind we’ve become so brutally familiar with, he offers a vision of what he has called “radical hope,” which involves acting with hope in the absence not just of rational justification for hope but in the absence of the conceptual building blocks out of which a better future might be constituted. It entails moving forward in the dark, relying on our values, commitments, relationships, creativity and whatever wisdom we’ve gleaned from experience. We can’t see the other side, or even know that a better future will come into existence, but we can keep moving in what we hope is the right direction. “We have a hunch,” he writes, that “we are onto something important about being human, but we are also in the midst of life and thus in the midst of confusions, contradictions, and unclarities.” Radical hope is terrifying, in other words. What it’s not, however, is fantasy. It’s an honest reckoning with all that we don’t know and don’t control, along with a refusal to stop hoping or moving forward. This honesty about what we can’t do, paired with a commitment to persist in what we can do, is in stark contrast to the absolutist fantasies that tend to animate the American political response when confronting the most terrifying, and most intractable, problems. We must end the pandemic. We must never wear masks. We must never impose any restrictions again. We must end Vladimir Putin. We must provide a mental health professional for every troubled child. We must vanquish our political enemies. We must eliminate guns. We must arm every teacher. For Lear the psychoanalyst, these fantasies are often manifestations of the primal human fantasy, which is of omnipotence. The rage is an echo of the primal infant rage when a baby’s need or desire isn’t instantly gratified. “Either you want to be omnipotent,” he told me, “or you want someone else to be omnipotent for you, or you want to kill everyone else. The psychoanalytic insight is that healthy development requires abandoning the fantasy of omnipotence. But that is no small deal.” But what else can we do but fantasize, I asked Lear, when confronted with tragedies like Uvalde, Ukraine, covid-19 and whatever’s just around the corner? Everybody’s too angry at everyone else. Our politicians are too small. Aren’t we simply, actually stuck? No, Lear answered. Having a global solution is not a prerequisite for acting in the world. Approaching the world with the expectation that every problem must be solved, soon and completely, comes from a failure to reckon with our own and the world’s limits. We are not omnipotent. There is no savior (on this plane of existence, at least) who will come to the rescue. The world is fundamentally flawed. This is hard to accept. It’s probably impossible to fully accept. But we can try to mourn it. If we do so well enough, Lear believes, we will discover that even when dealing with terrible loss and profound obstacles, there are things we can do. Take care of the people close to us. Work politically to improve things. Appreciate beauty and nobility in others. Be an exemplar for others. Make meaning. Creatively and repeatedly engage with the past. Have hope. Resist despair. “How do you look straight on at these horrible things but not lose sight of what’s magnificent about human beings?” Lear asked. “It’s hard. It’s hard to be human. Maturity is an achievement.” There are no answers in “Imagining the End,” or in most of Lear’s work. There are no recipes for maturity. Or plans for a stable peace in Ukraine. What his work does give us is an example of how to engage in the world with extraordinary care. This doesn’t solve everything, or maybe anything. But no one promised us that being human was easy.

Citing Boston’s Big Dig, a budget-busting bridge-and-tunnel project led by a turnpike authority, U.S. Transportation Depart- ‘Nobody is proud’ of the delays, but officials are keen on Tuesday’s debut ment auditors said projects lacking effective management and oversight could face long delays and ballooning costs. They wrote that lessons could apply to a long-planned Northern Virginia rail line and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which was tapped to build it, citing the authority’s “lack of experience in managing a mass transit project.” The cautions proved prescient, at a reduced scale. The Silver Line is no Big Dig or California High Speed Rail — megaprojects on opposite sides of the country that have bled billions amid design flaws and charges of poor management — but the 11.4-mile rail extension will make its debut Tuesday four years late and $250 million over budget. During eight years of construction, the new $3 billion stretch of the Silver Line recorded concrete failures, flawed railroad ties, problems in a rail yard and fraudulent quality records from an employee of a subcontractor. Project managers at the airports authority burned through a halfbillion-dollar contingency fund before calling on Fairfax and Loudoun counties and Dulles Toll Road drivers this year to kick in hundreds of millions more dollars to cover costly slip-ups. As the Washington region opens a new chapter with a rail link between downtown D.C. and the nation’s wealthiest county — via an international airport and the economic powerhouse of Ty- sons — it will close another that was fraught with oversight challenges almost from the start. “I don’t know that they properly planned for the magnitude of this project,” said Jeffrey C.

Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) wasn’t nervous. In fact, “this was my calmest election,” Spanberger said, a bit over 36 hours removed from what, at least on the outside, looked like a thriller of an election night in one of Virginia’s most competitive swing districts. Maybe it was because her team knew blue Prince William County was going to come through big, but also maybe because Spanberger has been here before. Her victory Tuesday night over Prince William Board of County Supervisors member Yesli Vega (R) marked the third consecutive campaign in which Spanberger pulled off a win in a challenging political climate or territory, in which she’s depended on maximizing every possible Democratic vote in blue, suburban areas while cutting just enough into rural Republican strongholds. That appeared once again to be the story in Virginia’s 7th District, considered a toss-up race — only this time, because of redistricting, Spanberger was running in brand-new territory with voters who didn’t know her. Vega hoped to leverage a compelling backstory as a daughter of Salvadoran immigrants to make inroads in diverse, blue eastern Prince William, but Spanberger beat her by more than a 2-to-1 margin in that key battleground. She ultimately won by about four points. “Abigail is an extraordinary talent,” said Sen. Mark R.

Vargas The retired D.C. police officer knew his son, Timothy Robinson, a disabled veteran, was homeless. Finding him disheveled at the bus stop was not a surprise. Over the years, the older Robinson had found his son panhandling at a Metro stop and slumped on a sidewalk. Once, he had even found him at a crack house in an area he patrolled. “I did not raise you like this,” Robinson had once told his son. “I know it,” he recalled his son telling him. “I am tired of embarrassing you, Mom and the rest of the family. I am going to kill myself.” Robinson had begged him not to do that. So many times, he said, he had tried to help his son. And so many times, his son had refused that help. That is how one year of homelessness turned into 10 years and 10 years turned into 30 years. But the day Robinson pulled SEE VARGAS ON C3 J OE H EIM For many Baltimoreans, Democrat Wes Moore’s historic victory in the governor’s race on Tuesday couldn’t come soon enough. It wasn’t just that Moore lives in Baltimore — though that was a big plus. It also meant they were that much closer to Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s departure from office and the end of an acrimonious eight years between the residents of Maryland’s largest city and a leader many felt often worked against them. With Moore in charge, leaders here said, the relationship between the city and the governor’s mansion can begin to recover. And they are counting the days until Hogan leaves. “Many of us have felt that our governor has held our city with contempt and has not always seen us as a part of the whole picture of Maryland,” said Del. Stephanie M. Smith (D-Baltimore), a Moore supporter who represents East Baltimore and chairs the city’s delegation in the Maryland House of Delegates. “This is a city that’s been looking for a governor that’s simply a friend. But it would be preferable, at minimum, to have a governor that believes in you, knows you, embraces you and sees you as a full part of our state.” The city’s frustrations with Hogan go back to 2015 during his first year in office when he pulled the plug on the Red Line, a $2.9 billion proposed light rail system that had been in planning for years and would have connected residents of some of the city’s poorest neighborhoods to downtown. Proponents said the east-west rail system would have brought the city together, made more jobs accessible to more people and furthered economic development. Approximately $288 million had already been spent on the planning process which began in 2001. Hogan rejected the plans and called the project a “wasteful boondoggle.” His decision meant Baltimore would lose out on $900 million in federal funding that had already been earmarked for the project. Adding salt to the wound was Hogan’s decision, announced that same day, to divert some of the state funding earmarked for the Red Line to the Purple Line in the Washington suburbs. He also announced $2 billion in highway spending across the state. Baltimore felt left in the lurch. When Hogan’s Twitter account posted plans for the transportation projects it included a map of Maryland that had a blank space where Baltimore should have been. The tweet was later deleted.

C2 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 commuter Silver Line to Dulles Airport will open Tuesday. Here’s what to know. BY J USTIN G EORGE AND L UZ L AZO The Silver Line extension is the largest expansion of the Metrorail system in eight years and will bring regional rail service about 28 miles west of Washington into Loudoun County. It includes a stop at Dulles International Airport, something regional travelers, airport officials and business leaders have desired for decades. The line includes five other stations and forms the spine for a burgeoning Northern Virginia tech corridor. While four years behind schedule, the $3 billion project will bring the first rail connections between the Washington region’s largest economic powerhouses — downtown D.C. and Tysons — the area’s international airport and the nation’s wealthiest county. The first passenger train to serve the new corridor will depart the Ashburn station at 1:54 p.m. on Tuesday. The first full-length westbound trip will depart the Downtown Largo station at 12:51 p.m., arriving at Wiehle-Reston East at 2:02 p.m. before servicing the new stations. Where does the Silver Line extension go, and how long is the ride? The Silver Line extension will continue beyond the existing terminus at the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station. The extension is nearly 11.5 miles and is the second phase of a 23-mile line that debuted in 2014, when four stations also opened in Tysons. The Silver Line joins the Orange Line at the East Falls Church station, then both share tracks with the Blue Line beginning in Rosslyn before the Silver Line ends at the Downtown Largo station in Prince George’s County, Md. The Northern Virginia extension has six new stations, including three in Fairfax County — Reston Town Center, Herndon and Innovation Center — and three others in Loudoun County, which are Dulles, Loudoun Gateway and Ashburn. Riding from the Ashburn Station to the existing Wiehle-Reston East will take 22 minutes. Here are other travel times: — Ashburn to Tysons: 33 minutes — Ashburn to Union Station: 74 minutes — L’Enfant Plaza to Dulles: 58 minutes — Reston Town Center to Navy Yard: 52 minutes A ride without transfers that spans the length of the Silver Line, from Ashburn to Downtown Largo, will take about 93 minutes. The project is four years behind schedule. What took so long? Construction for the extension began in 2014 and the project was scheduled to open in 2018, but became saddled with years of delays. The project was bogged down by shifting storm water management requirements, falsified testing of troublesome concrete panels and a related $1 million settlement, the conviction of a subcontractor’s former manager on a wire fraud charge and a work stoppage over cracks in the concrete girders that support elevated tracks near the Dulles Airport station. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which oversaw construction of the project, paid the lead contractor more than $200 million over the contract for cost overruns. Airport officials have said the project’s complexity, an increase in the cost of building materials, supply chain slowdowns and pandemicrelated restrictions fueled the delays and overruns. What will it cost to ride, and how often will trains arrive? Like the rest of the Metrorail system, the cost of riding the Silver Line depends on the time of day and distance traveled. The maximum that Metro charges is $6 on weekdays. Fares drop to a flat $2 after 9:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. Silver Line trains will operate every 15 minutes to start, although waits are expected to shorten over the next six months as Metro incorporates more trains into service. Trains eventually will operate every 10 minutes during rush hour, every 12 minutes during midday, evening and weekends, and every 15 minutes after 9:30 p.m. The Silver Line will operate during the same hours as the rest of the Metrorail system: — Monday through Thursday from 5 a.m. until midnight. — Friday from 5 a.m. until 1 a.m. — Saturday from 7 a.m. until 1 a.m. — Sunday from 7 a.m. until midnight What should I know about getting to Dulles via Metro? The train platform at the Dulles station provides a clear RICKY CARIOTI/THE WASHINGTON POST The new Silver Line extension from Ashburn to Dulles International Airport, above, and Loudoun County, long a dream of local officials, is scheduled to open Tuesday after years of delays. view of the airport terminal. The underground walkway between the terminal and station has new signage pointing passengers toward baggage claim. The walk takes about five minutes. John E. “Jack” Potter, chief executive of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which operates the airport, said Dulles expects “several thousand” passengers a day through the Metro station. Travelers headed to Dulles should reserve plenty of time to get there. The ride from Metro Center in downtown Washington to Dulles will take 53 minutes. From Rosslyn, the ride to the airport will take 45 minutes, according to Metro. If you needed to shuttle between the region’s two major airports, Metro estimates it will take 62 minutes to go from Reagan National Airport to Dulles. To get from Dulles to Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport, a rider would have to take the Metro to Union Station or New Carrollton and board an Amtrak or MARC train to BWI. (The former B30 Metrobus route between Greenbelt and BWI was discontinued). What happens to bus service to Dulles? Multiple bus routes that connect Dulles to the Washington region and the Metro system will be discontinued when the Silver Line station opens. Metro is ending the 5A, a popular route used by airport workers and travelers from the District to Dulles for more than two decades. The Metrobus route connects L’Enfant Plaza and Rosslyn to Dulles in just under an hour for $7.50. Metro said the express line will be canceled starting Nov. 16. The airports authority said it will discontinue the Washington Flyer Silver Line Express bus, a $5-per-ride service between the airport and the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station. The line’s last day will be Nov. 15. Fairfax Connector said it is discontinuing the 981 route between Wiehle-Reston East and Dulles on Nov. 16. The Fairfax bus system, however, will continue to serve the airport with two new routes: the 952, with stops at the Wiehle-Reston East, Reston Town Center and Herndon stations; and the 983, between the Innovation Center station and Dulles. What else should commuters know about the new stations? Four transit bus systems — Fairfax Connector, Loudoun County Transit, Metrobus and OmniRide — will connect riders to Silver Line stations. SmarTrip cards, either mobile or physical, work on all of the region’s transit systems. According to Loudoun County Transit, the agency will replace Metro Connection Bus Service with new Silver Line bus routes. The new bus service will provide weekday service to and from local stops, including Loudoun County park-and-ride lots and Silver Line stations. Parking will be available at the Ashburn, Loudoun Gateway, Innovation Center and Herndon stations. Rates are generally about $5 per day, paid via SmarTrip, although parking is free on weekends. What are Metro’s ridership projections? Metro does not have recent ridership projections for the Silver Line extension because the pandemic dramatically altered transit usage both in the Washington region and across the nation. Before the pandemic, Metro expected thousands of tech workers to ride the Silver Line on their way to the growing number of offices and light-industrial warehouses sprouting up near the tracks. While commuters may still make up the majority of riders, Metro officials say passengers will include a mix of office workers, airport users and those in Northern Virginia who don’t want to deal with stifling traffic to get to events, stores and other leisure activities. About 420,000 people live within five miles of the Silver Line’s new stations, according to Metro. An environmental-impact statement several years ago estimated the Silver Line extension would generate about 24,600 trips per weekday, which is roughly equivalent to passenger counts, although system ridership is now about half of pre-pandemic levels. Is Metro planning other expansions in the future? Metro will open an infill station in Alexandria next year, called Potomac Yard, but otherwise has no concrete plans in the works for expansion. The transit agency is studying extending the Blue Line to National Harbor and creating a longdiscussed station in Georgetown. Developers of National Harbor are pushing for a Metrorail connection, but it would come with a hefty price tag, costing between $20 billion and $25 billion to build and between $175 million and $200 million annually to operate, according to a Metro report last fall. After the new Silver Line and Potomac Yard stations open, riders shouldn’t expect any extensions or new lines to the 98-station system for many years.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ C3 M2 Circling back to the peculiar appearance of the Foxhall Crescents development While looking for something else on Google Maps, I noticed a neighborhood northwest John Kelly's in Washington Washington with oddly shaped streets, most of which are named “Foxhall Crescent,” even though they seem to be disconnected. Can you shed any light on the origins of this neighborhood and the strange layout? — Christopher Davis, Washington, D.C. On Sept. 22, 1977, Washingtonians awoke to front-page news in The Washington Post: Nelson Rockefeller was selling his 25-acre estate off Foxhall Road NW for $5.5 million. Some readers may have thought, “Good for old Nelson.” The wealthy grandson of the founder of Standard Oil — and former vice president — had been trying to sell the estate for a while, lowering the price from $8 million. He’d finally found a buyer, with the help of a real estate agent with the singular name Basheyba who ate only raw vegetables and dressed only in yellow. (“It’s the color of the sun. It makes people happy,” she told a reporter.) Some people weren’t too happy with the news. The buyers were developers Allen Rozansky and Alan Kay, who planned to put up to 130 homes on the sloping, forested site. Living nearby were such figures as former CIA director Richard Helms, David Lloyd Kreeger, chairman of Geico, and socialite and philanthropist Gwendolyn Cafritz. They were among neighbors who vowed to block the development. Speaking at a meeting of foes, lawyer Peter B. Work said a coalition had formed to do whatever it took to block construction. “We’ll cost them their profits in legal fees,” Work said. “This is what I call the hypocrisy of snobbery,” developer Kay told The Washington Post. “What we’re going to build there will be every bit as nice as what’s already there. If I didn’t buy it, then someone else would. Once the decision was made by Rockefeller [to sell], that was it.” The proposed houses may have been every bit as nice, but there were a lot of them. And they were arranged along streets that meandered a bit but were fairly conventional in their rectilinear layout. But the developers had a secret weapon: an architect named Arthur Cotton Moore. Moore — who died in September at 87 — was a sixth-generation Washingtonian, a graduate of St. Albans School and Princeton University. He had a pedigree that could calm neighbors and attract buyers. Moore threw away the original site plan and turned for inspiration to an earlier housing project: the Royal Crescent, completed in Bath, England, in 1774. The Royal Crescent — designed by an architect known as John Wood, the Younger — comprises 30 rowhouses that present a seamless, colonnaded facade of honey-colored stone. As the name implies, the facade is curved. While the Royal Crescent is one continuous building, Moore’s design is not. It’s made up of detached houses arranged around circular streets. Front yards are nonexistent and backyards are minimal. Critically, there is a 30-foot buffer of trees around the property. As for the houses, there were originally about nine different designs, all in cast stone and pale brick, with a Palladian front. Some of the houses have facades that are either concave or convex, depending on what side of the street they’re on. Because of the hilly site, homes on one side of the street have three levels in front, two in back; on the other side of the street, it’s two in front, three in back. “Quiet elegance” is how builder Arden Baker — who with his partner, Bill Crowell, constructed the first homes — ARTHUR COTTON MOORE/ASSOCIATES The Foxhall Crescents development was built in Northwest D.C. on the former estate of Nelson Rockefeller. Architect Arthur Cotton Moore based the design on the Royal Crescent in Bath, England. described the design. “We wanted to make a statement.” One statement was clear from the start. The text in a print ad began: “Admittedly only for the very affluent . .. ” The homes — up to 4,700 square feet in size, all with circular staircases, some with elevators — were originally priced from around $400,000 to close to $700,000. (Today, you’d need $2 million to $3 million to move in.) Moore described the prototypical buyer as “maybe an OB/GYN in McLean who wanted a Foxhall Road address. Someone who probably had no children or ones that are all grown up or off at college.” (Ambassadors seem drawn to the neighborhood today.) Given how the neighborhood looks on a map, the developers might have called it Foxhall Circles, but they opted for Foxhall Crescents. That’s Crescents, plural. There are four — or a little more than four, depending on how you count them. They comprise about 100 homes, entered through what are called Eastgate, Westgate, Southgate and Battery Kemble Gate. Even though the circles are noncontiguous — accessed via Foxhall Road, 46th Street, 48th Street or 49th Street — all the homes have Foxhall Crescent NW addresses. That can make getting pizza delivered a bit of a pain, one resident told Answer Man. THERESA VARGAS A long-homeless disabled veteran was losing hope. Then his father drove up. VARGAS FROM C1 up to the bus stop was different. He found his son sitting in a broken wheelchair, relieved to see him. His son wanted to go with him. As Robinson, who is in his 70s, struggled to get his son from the busted wheelchair into his vehicle, three people pulled over and got out of their cars to help. “Dad, thank God you are here,” Robinson recalled his son saying. “Dad, I just wanted to die.” Timothy Robinson would later recall feeling increasingly hopeless as he sat at that bus stop. When he saw his dad, he said, “I knew I was not alone.” A year and a half has passed since that encounter. Since then, the younger Robinson has spent many of his days at a rehabilitation center, and the older Robinson has spent many of his applying his investigative skills to figuring out what happened to his son. He said it was not until after that bus stop moment that his son finally gave him permission to look at his military records. What Robinson found, he said, left him stunned, angry and determined to get his son the help he has long deserved. “When I saw his records, I cried,” FAMILY PHOTO Timothy Robinson said he received an honorable discharge from the Army in 1985, which he learned years later and first thought was a lie. he said. “They failed him all around.” There are many reasons a veteran might be denied disability benefits. The Robinson family understands that. Rudolph Robinson is a veteran. His father was also one. But the family says that Timothy Robinson was denied benefits because his records falsely say he received a surgery. On Veterans Day, people across the country celebrated the current and former service members in their lives. But on that same day, in a Maryland rehabilitation center, two veterans spoke about how their lives might have turned out differently if in 1985, when Timothy Robinson was sent home early by the Army with foot problems, the military had given him the physical and mental help he needed. The maybes they carry are weighty. Maybe he would not have fallen into a depression. Maybe he would not have neglected his body to the point that he needed to have both of his legs amputated below the knee. Maybe he would not have spent decades on the street, selfmedicating, believing he failed his family. Timothy Robinson said he did not even know until his dad started looking into his records that he had received an honorable discharge. When he was told that, he initially thought it was a lie. He had spent so long feeling shame about his time in the service that he never associated it with the word “honorable.” I contacted Veterans Affairs officials about the case, but privacy precautions did not allow them to offer a comment on the situation. That is understandable.

But time also makes telling his story more urgent. The Robinsons said they have taken official steps to appeal the denial of benefits, but they were warned that process could take years, and they have already lost so many of those. Their hope is that officials might hear about their son’s situation and look into his case sooner. “What happens if he has to leave here?” Rudolph Robinson said of the rehabilitation center. “Once you are done with your treatment, you have to go back to where you came from. Where did he come from? The streets.” Robinson said after picking his son up from the bus stop, he took him to a Veterans Affairs hospital because he was suicidal. After getting released about a month later, the younger Robinson was not able to go to his parents’ home because it is not wheelchair accessible, so his parents paid for him to stay at a hotel. While there, he had a stroke, which is how he ended up at the rehabilitation center. “I feel like I would like to live,” the 57-year-old son said on Veterans Day, confessing that he had not always felt that way. THE “Live a good life.” Rudolph Robinson said, I told him it is not too late. I told him, ‘We never gave up on you. You gave up on yourself.’” As the younger Robinson tells it, his problems started shortly after he joined the Army. During training, he was given boots that were too tight and his feet started hurting. He then began falling behind on drills, and his fellow service members made it clear they wanted him gone. “At night, they would put a blanket over my head and beat on me,” he said. Still, he stayed, until officials determined he should be sent home. Records his father shared with me show that he entered into active duty on Oct. 16, 1984, and received an honorable discharge on Feb. 2, 1985. Rudolph Robinson said his son came home with swollen and bloody feet and in a depressed state that left him not wanting to talk to anyone. He said he and his wife contacted military officials at the time to get him help but were told he was not eligible. The family only learned decades later that a letter containing an explanation for the denial was sent to their old address. A letter shared with me dated Oct. 6, 1993, reads: “The board finds that prior to service the veteran underwent operations on both feet for severe complications associated with pes planus.” (Pes planus is also known as “flat feet.”) Both father and son deny that surgery was ever recommended or occurred. Rudolph Robinson said his son would have been a teenager when that surgery supposedly took place, and his consent would have been required. He insists his son had no problems with his feet before joining the army. He also pointed out that his son had worked as a laborer and passed a physical exam before being approved for military duty. They both said that looking into the case has left them not only thinking about their own family’s situation but also about others. Timothy Robinson said one reason he wanted to speak publicly about his experience is because he knows other homeless and disabled vets do not have anyone fighting for them. “They got nobody,” he said. “They could be going through the same thing as me, and they do not have a dad looking into it.” BIG COUPON!

C4 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE Many Baltimoreans are glad to see Hogan go BALTIMORE FROM C1 that the Red Line is a “core priority.” “If you want to get economic momentum going you need to be able to move people to employment,” he told the Baltimore Sun in September. “We cannot think that we’re going to move as a state when every time we talk about Baltimore it’s with disdain. We cannot have a thriving Maryland if Baltimore is unhealthy.” Hogan also regularly blasted city leaders for how they handled crime and their failure, he said, to prosecute violent criminals. Baltimore has had more than 300 homicides per year for the past seven years and is on pace to exceed 300 again this year. In 2021 it had the highest homicide rate of any of the country’s 50 largest cities. Earlier this year, Hogan and Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott engaged in a sharp back and forth with each side accusing the other of not doing enough to address crime and its root causes. “In February, you assured us there was a comprehensive plan in place, but at this point, I do not believe anyone — including you — believes it is working,” Hogan wrote in a public letter to Scott in May. “It is time to see a real plan and real action now.” “If the Governor wanted to ask me about the crime fight, he could have asked me in person . . . but he chose not to and instead played publicity games with public safety,” Scott fired back. “Moreover, since he’s taken office, two things are true: he has refused to offer Baltimore any meaningful help, and crime has gone up every year . . . The Governor knows how to help, but he refuses to do so.” Hogan also criticized Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby for her approach to pursuing criminal convictions in the city. A year ago he called for a funding review of her office and demanded data on prosecution rates. What Baltimore needed, Hogan said, was “a prosecutor who will actually prosecute violent criminals.” Mosby struck back at Hogan, accusing him of failing to work with four Baltimore mayors and its police chiefs. “Quite candidly, he’s been more concerned with pointing the finger at everyone else as opposed to actually leading and delivering for a city that is the heartbeat for this state,” said Mosby at a news conference. In January, Mosby was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts each of perjury and making false loan applications. She ran for a third term but was defeated in the Democratic primary by Ivan Bates, a defense attorney. Hogan’s critics in Baltimore say his administration under- . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 MARYLAND 8th-grader shot while outside his home dies The Prince George’s teen wanted to be an ER doctor, mother says BY A LLISON K LEIN AND E MILY D AVIES ERIC LEE FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Governor-Elect Wes Moore (D) speaks at an election night party for Maryland Democrats at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore on Tuesday. Moore’s victory makes him the nation’s only current Black governor, and the third in U.S. history. funded and understaffed the state’s probation and parole system, leading to little oversight and assistance for people released from prison. Moore on his campaign website pledged to fill every vacant position, “ensuring strong supervision of high-risk individuals, and leveraging local offices to connect people to behavioral health treatment, housing and employment.” Moore has also said he will work to rebuild relationships between Baltimore communities and law enforcement by increasing accountability and transparency and funding community policing programs. Baltimore had the air knocked out of it by Hogan’s Red Line decision, and the city’s relationship with him never recovered, said Baltimore City Council member Zeke Cohen (D). If anything, he said, Hogan’s criticism of the city and the disdain he showed to city leaders made it worse. “Gov. Hogan has treated Baltimore City like a rhetorical punching bag,” Cohen said. “Every time he hits it in the media, he seems to think his poll ratings go up. And that may be true. But what has been unfortunate is that he has defunded our public transportation and at times our schools, while selling the narra- tive of local dysfunction.” In its editorial endorsing Wes Moore last month over Republican candidate Dan Cox, the Baltimore Sun took a parting shot at Hogan for how he has treated the city, writing “Our current governor has too often sought to distance himself from Baltimore and its problems, including a legacy of systemic racism that has resulted in ongoing issues of crime and poverty.” Asked to respond to criticisms made by city leaders, Hogan spokesperson Michael Ricci defended Hogan’s efforts on behalf of Baltimore. “The governor has always believed that a strong Maryland depends on a strong Baltimore, and has made unprecedented investments in revitalization, infrastructure, school construction, and public safety for the city,” Ricci wrote in an email Wednesday. “He has done this collaboratively, funding every request made by the mayor to address violent crime, and working with legislative leaders to provide the single largest infusion of jobs to the central business district. There is important and hard-fought progress for the next administration to build on.” And not all Baltimoreans agree that the governor has been uniformly hostile to the city. Projects like the redevelopment of the Pimlico Race Course and surrounding neighborhood and Project C.O.R.E, a $75 million investment by the state to tear down abandoned buildings to create green space and develop affordable and mixed-use housing, have made a real difference, said Howard Libit, executive director of the Baltimore Jewish Council who once served as communications chief for former Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. “Those are going to be an important positive legacy for his work in Baltimore,” he said. And others in Baltimore did not mind Hogan’s aggressive approach to the city. “I liked the accountability he provided for Baltimore City because he did come off a little more vocal about what was going on here especially with crime and how Marilyn Mosby was handling her office,” said Kyna McKenzie, the vice chair of the Baltimore City Republican Party. “I don’t believe that’s going to happen with Wes Moore.” McKenzie knows Baltimore Republicans are vastly outnumbered in the city. Democrats occupy every seat on the City Council, and no Republican has been mayor since Theodore McKeldin left office in 1967. “It’s awful, honestly,” she said. “We are totally blocked out here.” Natalie McCabe, a 41-year-old therapist who voted for Moore on Tuesday, is happy to see Hogan go. She said Hogan has neglected Maryland’s most populous city. “It’s easy to look out for the affluent side of Maryland,” she said. “Baltimore needs people who are going to line up and do what they say they’re going to do. I want a better Baltimore that looks like the potential it has.” McCabe thought about nearby Columbia, Md., which has benefited from recent construction — from supermarkets to new homes. Swaths of Baltimore, however, remain blighted. Blocks from the elementary school where she cast her vote, the Mondawmin neighborhood — the site of a violent clash between teens and police after Freddie Gray’s funeral in 2015, a focal point in the city’s days-long uprising triggered by the 25-year-old’s death in police custody — could benefit from such investments, she said. “They’re building up that community,” McCabe said about Columbia. “Where is that in the Mondawmin community?” Lauren Lumpkin and Erin Cox contributed to this report. A 13-year-old who was shot on Tuesday outside his home as he raked leaves has died, his mother said. Jayz Agnew died in a hospital Friday evening, Juanita Agnew said. He had been fighting for his life since he was shot through the head as he was doing chores in front of his house in Prince George’s County. The shooting happened around 5:20 p.m. in the Hillcrest Heights area. Police have not said if Jayz was targeted, nor have they made an arrest in his shooting. Agnew, who said her son wanted to be an emergency room doctor, said she is reeling. “My greatest fear is my son will not get justice,” she said. She added that if this can happen to her son, other children need to be careful. “My house is in close proximity to the elementary school so this could have happened to any of the neighborhood children,” she said. Her family started a GoFundMe for “help with legal and investigative expenses” writing: “Our son Jayz was senselessly shot in the head while raking leaves in our front yard. Our Jayz is a loving gentle child. His only squabbles are with his little sister Aaliyah over video games . . . We will not stop until justice is served.” Agnew, 36, said she cannot imagine why anyone would want to hurt her son. “Knowing who he is, I don’t think he would be able to cause anyone to be angry at him to the point of wanting to take his life,” she said. “He was just being obedient. I asked him to rake the leaves.” Agnew described Jayz as an eighth-grader who spent most of his time playing video games or hanging out with sister Aaliyah, 6. The siblings found stray cats in their shed last year and decided to raise them together. Jayz named his Dawn, and Aaliyah named hers Lily. The four like to cuddle together on the couch. “We have to spread more awareness on gun control and better surveillance in the community,” Agnew said. MARYLAND Slavery, Baltimore’s Lexington Market intersect in artist’s new sculpture ‘Robert and Rosetta’ is named for captive pair with ties to historic site BY M AYA L ORA At the historic Lexington Market in Baltimore, an enslaved man named Robert once sold butter to local customers. Robert, who had no recorded last name, is one of two subjects at the heart of “Robert and Rosetta,” a sculpture designed by artist Oletha DeVane, 70, and her son, Christopher Kojzar, 40. The sculpture, crafted of steel and stainless steel by blacksmith Nicholas Ireys at his shop about a mile from Lexington Market, captures the history of slavery at the market while reflecting the ornamental ironwork dotted around Baltimore. It is being installed in the plaza of the newly reopened Lexington Market, located in the BROMO Arts District. DeVane, who lived in Baltimore until she was 13 and now lives in Ellicott City, said she was interested in the stories of Robert and Rosetta because she likes to look at “where the African American presence is and was, and especially during that time.” The origins of Lexington Market can be traced back to 1782. Dean Krimmel, a public historian and Baltimore-based museum consultant, worked with the redevelopment project and provided DeVane and Kojzar with documentation about Robert and Rosetta. KARL MERTON FERRON/BALTIMORE SUN Oletha DeVane, above, and her son, Christopher Kojzar, designed the piece being installed in the newly reopened market’s plaza. “This is really just to have some reflection on where we’ve been, where we come from.” Oletha DeVane, an artist who helped design the sculpture Krimmel said former Maryland governor George Howard enslaved Robert and sent him to sell butter at the market before Robert later escaped. Krimmel gleaned the information on Robert from a runaway notice that ran at least five times in the Baltimore American & Commercial Daily Advertiser in July 1833. A $50 reward was offered for Robert’s capture. Rosetta was an enslaved girl with no recorded last name who was auctioned off at the market. The advertisement for her sale was posted in the Baltimore Sun in March 1838. The ads, the only information available on Robert and Rosetta, are engraved in granite flagstones as part of the sculpture. “This is really just to have some reflection on where we’ve been, where we come from,” DeVane said. “For me, these two people who were ordinary people trying to ... live their lives in some way, in some fashion, within the construct of that social system was very important to kind of explore.” The Robert and Rosetta panels are attached to light posts with “pretty filigree” at the top, which DeVane said represents growth and change. The posts form an archway, which allows visitors to pass through the space after encountering the flagstone markers. DeVane and Kojzar tapped Ireys to do the metalwork for the project because they wanted a more “historic” and “timeless” feel, Ireys said. “Even though I’m not one of the main designers, I was able to put a lot of myself into this piece, which was a very rewarding process for me,” Ireys said. Kojzar, who is doing a fellowship and teaching at the University of Vermont, said acknowledging Black history through everyday people is a thread in both his and his mother’s work. Earlier this year, DeVane produced a sculpture for the McDonogh School in Owings Mills as part of a larger tribute to the 200 men, women and children who were enslaved by the school’s founder, John McDonogh, at the time of his death in 1850. DeVane formerly taught at McDonogh. As part of the McDonogh piece, Kojzar said, DeVane had to design imagery of individuals who represented “something so much larger than the short narrative that was presented about their lives.” The same applies to Robert and Rosetta, he said. Katie Marshall of Lexington Market developer Seawall led the public art component of the market’s redevelopment. She said merchants, customers and community members asked about connections between the market and slavery. “I think [their] piece is a beautiful tribute to those two individuals, and also an acknowledgment of all the various ways that enslaved persons interacted with the market and in Baltimore City as a whole,” Marshall said. Ireys said it’s rare for an organization to embrace its “very checkered past” so openly. “I’ve never worked on a project that was so directly representing difficult social aspects that directly related to the organization paying for the piece,” Ireys said. DeVane has loved art since she watched her father paint in the dining room. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art and the University of Massachusetts, she is a multidisciplinary artist whose exhibits have been in museums such as the Reginald F. Lewis Museum in Baltimore and the Art Museum of the Americas and the now-closed Corcoran Gallery of Art in D.C. She previously served as the program director of the Maryland State Arts Council’s Individual Artists and Visual Arts programs. DeVane’s body of work from the 1980s through 2022 is on display at the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The exhibit, “Oletha DeVane: Spectrum of Light and Spirit,” features paintings, works on paper, video and interactive sculpture, such as a piece visitors can add beads to. In addition to “Robert and Rosetta,” the new market will feature “Food Play” by artists Ireys, Reed Bmore and Eric Smith and “Corned Beef and Flavored Water” by SHAN Wallace. Four 16-foot murals that line the new plaza were designed by Ernest Shaw Jr., who has painted a number of murals throughout Baltimore. “[DeVane] is such an incredibly important and well-respected artist in the Baltimore community, the Baltimore art community and beyond,” Marshall said. “It just felt really right to have her be one of the primary artists working on pieces for the new market.” — Baltimore Sun
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ C5 M2 ‘Very blunt’ with her own party, Spanberger prevails in Va. SPANBERGER FROM C1 Prince William she did very well, remember, this was her opponent’s home county.” Spanberger’s win was among the first indications that Republicans’ anticipated “red wave” on Election Day was not going to materialize. Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia, noted that her success was no outlier, given Democrats writ large had far exceeded expectations by Wednesday morning. In Virginia, Republicans picked up only one of three seats they targeted — in Virginia Beach-anchored District 2, where state Sen. Jen A. Kiggans (R) ousted Rep. Elaine Luria (D). Mark Rozell, dean of George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government, said that in a swing district it also helped Spanberger that Vega had positioned herself in the primary as an antiabortion conservative firebrand, with backing from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and members of the House Freedom Caucus. Vega faltered early on after Axios published a tape in which she appeared to cast doubt on rape-related pregnancy — and Spanberger, in a slew of attack ads, used it to define Vega throughout the campaign, putting her on the defense early. Vega later said the comments had been misconstrued and decried the portrayal of her. Still, Rozell said, while a more moderate opponent might have led to a tougher campaign for Spanberger, her trio of narrow victories since 2018 likely offers Democrats in competitive turf a road map for hotly contested races. “I think she could be a rising star in the party,” Rozell said, noting — as others have — that Democrats may one day look to her as a potential statewide contender. “She seems to have the right formula in that she can hold the progressive wing of her party and appeal to swing voters. At the same time, she projects the image of a very independent-minded Democrat who is not afraid to differ with her party leadership.” Her profile might be a bit more difficult to replicate. Spanberger splashed onto the Virginia political scene in 2017 as a former officer in federal law enforcement and the CIA determined to flip a ANNA ROSE LAYDEN/GETTY IMAGES Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) celebrates with supporters in Fredericksburg after winning reelection Tuesday. Her victory over Republican Yesli Vega marked the third consecutive campaign in which she pulled off a win in a challenging political climate or territory. Trump-country seat blue for the first time in 50 years. Illustrating the challenge: The district’s deep conservative roots were evident when Republican voters in 2014 ousted then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) — an anomaly for a sitting House leader — opting in the primary for tea party Republican Dave Brat. But anti-Trump sentiment energized suburban voters in the 2018 blue wave — and a class of Democrats with national security credibility found success appealing to centrist voters in red districts across the country. Spanberger combined that background with her activist ties as a former gun-violence prevention organizer with Moms Demand Action to build a huge grass-roots operation spanning liberal and moderate voters, namely in the Richmond suburbs, which powered her 2018 and 2020 wins. But Spanberger didn’t have that powerhouse network this year; in the redrawn 7th District, she had to build one from scratch. Tonya James, chairwoman of the Prince William County Democratic Committee, called Spanberger’s campaign “one of the most effective ground games I’ve seen happen in Virginia politics in a while.” Compared with Vega’s frequent high-energy rallies with Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), Del. Candi Mundon King (D) thought Spanberger was more effective in person-to-person relationshipbuilding in smaller settings — private dinners with no photo opportunities or stump speeches. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who also frequently campaigned for Spanberger, agreed, noting sometimes voters who came to modest meet-and-greets expecting to hear from Spanberger were taken aback to find she wanted to hear from them first, about the issues top of mind for them. “I think that makes an impression on people,” Kaine said. “Nobody feels listened to enough, and maybe, even particularly, nobody feels listened to enough by people in politics. And Abigail is, like, immediately front and center, putting that question out to people in a way that I think left a really positive impression with them.” Mundon King, who represents parts of Prince William and Stafford counties — the heart of the district — said she met with the congresswoman early on, impressing on her the importance of the numerous diverse communities there, wanting to ensure they would not be glossed over. Spanberger didn’t disappoint, Mundon King said. “She spent time in the Ethiopian community. She spent time in the Ghanaian community. She spent time in West Indian restaurants talking about the issues that impact these communities,” Mundon King said. And while she often discussed bread-and-butter issues like transportation and infrastructure investments that resonate across the political spectrum in the commuter-heavy district, Mundon King noted, she addressed abortion rights “head on.” “Her campaign was not afraid to talk about abortion and to talk about the fears, the real fears and anxiety that a lot of women and families were experiencing as they saw their fundamental right to make decisions about their bodies being taken away,” Mundon King said. Spanberger acknowledged the role that the overturning of Roe v. Wade played in the campaign this year. “I think it played a significant role,” she said, describing it as a key driver of a general sense of “unease” about the future she encountered from voters — or a sense, she said, that everything in politics is “broken.” That’s part of the reason she aggressively promoted her bipartisan credentials during the campaign, pushing legislation such as a stock-trading ban and police grant funding, even as Vega and national Republicans ran numerous attack ads and repeated applause lines at rallies noting she “votes with Nancy Pelosi 100 percent of the time.” Addressing the criticism, Spanberger said she believes it creates a false narrative of zero-sum, binary politics, where agreement with “the top boogeyman Democrat” means “you are automatically in opposition with all Republicans — when that’s not the case.” In fact, she said, many of the bills did have Republican votes. She was fixated early in her tenure on making sure Republican constituents could see her as their representative, too, even if they disagreed. She said she was struck shortly after taking office in 2019 by the number of people who called needing help with Social Security or veterans’ issues — but who seemed to add a caveat: You should know I didn’t vote for her. “This frenzy around politics, that people would feel the need to be honest and get that out there, thinking it might hurt my inclination to help them — that to me was like a sad reality, which is why the team is so aggressive about, ‘Oh we serve everyone, it doesn’t matter,’ ” Spanberger said. Spanberger’s appeals on bipartisanship were evident in a campaign ad featuring former Republican Virginia congressman Denver Riggleman that was intended to appeal to crossover voters. “In Congress, the parties sit apart and don’t work together — except Abigail Spanberger,” Riggleman said. In the final days of the campaign, Rep. Liz Cheney (RWyo.), the former No. 3 leader of House Republicans who was largely excised by the party for her disavowal of Trump’s false stolen-election claims, also endorsed Spanberger, one of just three congressional Democrats Cheney has backed. Vega, though she avoided talking about Trump, haltingly accepted his endorsement in the final leg of the race. Since the losses, Virginia Republicans have been in somewhat of an intraparty brouhaha assessing why the red wave did not come. Lt. Gov. Winsome EarleSears (R) and Del. Tim Anderson (R-Virginia Beach) both blamed Trump in part, saying that his desire to remain the leader of the party and run in 2024 is hurting Republicans in competitive races — assessments that Trump’s team and some of his big supporters in Virginia have rejected. “If there was any time for moderate Democrats to come our way, it was this year,” Anderson said, “And they didn’t, because when they look over at us, all they see is Trump Republicans.” Rozell, the political scientist, said Republicans might also need to look beyond a “generic” Republican playbook that seeks to tie Spanberger to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should they want to beat her in the future. He noted he found the attack lacked credibility among voters, considering Spanberger has at times spoken out against Democratic leadership and policies. Kaine and Warner each identified that as one ingredient contributing to Spanberger’s victory Tuesday. She emerged as a vocal critic within the caucus of “defund the police” rhetoric and the Democratic Party’s messaging failures in an underwhelming performance in 2020. And she publicly called for new Democratic House leadership over Pelosi’s handling of legislation Spanberger pushed to ban stock trading among members of Congress. “She’s very blunt,” as Kaine put it, noting she “is who she is,” even if it makes the caucus or the speaker or the White House bristle. Spanberger’s core strength, Kaine said, is marching to the beat of her own drum. “If I had any questions about, hmm, after 2021, who is the Virginia electorate? And who’s the kind of person that they will vote for? The results in Virginia last Tuesday night confirmed in my mind, okay, I know who the Virginia electorate is. I know what they’re looking for,” Kaine said. THE REGION Another 70-degree November day keeps the crispness of autumn at bay BY M ARTIN W EIL As we trek deeper into November, and closer to winter, it might have been asking a lot for Saturday in Washington to repeat the unusual warmth of Friday. And it didn’t. But it fell short by only a single degree. The thermal exuberance that has endowed us with so many 70-degree November days continued unabated Saturday. As of 4 p.m., the mercury here had spent hours in the 70s, and reached a high of 72 degrees. That was one degree less than Friday’s 73, and both were well above average. Saturday exceeded the average high for the date by 13 degrees. It was five below the record of 77. Some may have found our recent run of days in the 70s pleasant, while others may have been troubled by their deviation from the norm. Many may long for the crispness embodied in the prom- ise and image of autumn. But meteorological reality tells us that of the 12 days this month, Saturday was the ninth with a high in the 70s. One day was even warmer, and reached 81. Friday provided an almost tangible sense of immersion in a flow of warm, moist air streaming toward us with the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole.

But neither did it seem devoid of its muggy moments. Friday seemed almost totally gray, but Saturday seemed to provide more sightings of the sun, and more patches of blue sky. By now, the brilliant peak of fall foliage seems to have departed. But when the sun appeared Saturday, even the tattered and yellowed leaves that remained shone at their best advantage. Here and there, leafy screens of pale yellow and faded green gleamed as if in a spotlight. In addition, the baring of the branches of trees raised a curtain on the longer vistas, natural and architectural, that show up in the cold weather season. Far-off windows sparkled in the sunlight, and brick walls glowed at a distance, after being hidden for months by dense warm-season greenery. A lack of leaves made it more possible to see from blocks away how individual windows or highrise walls of glass reflected the light, and reflected its reflections, each enhancing the glitter of the others, so that a clutch of sharpedged rectangular buildings could suggest the sparkling facets of a piece of crystal. And on an unusually warm November day, the clouds parted enough near the evening so that the setting sun spread stripes of fiery orange across the darkening purple of the western sky.
C6 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST RE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Delayed and over budget, Silver Line crawled to completion SILVER LINE FROM C1 on and on and on for too long,” he said. “MWAA is not an expert at building transit.” But McKay said the deficiencies came with an undeniable upside: money. He said the project would not have happened without cash from the MWAAmanaged Dulles Toll Road, which covered a large portion of construction costs. Plenty of the problems also were not of MWAA’s making, he added, noting the authority had to answer to numerous public boards and Metro itself. On the eve of rail service to Dulles International Airport and Loudoun County, a project decades in the making, McKay said the problems “almost seem like sideshows to the fact that, my God, we got this done and it’s getting ready to open.” John E. “Jack” Potter, a former U.S. postmaster general who has led the airports authority for more than a decade, acknowledged disappointment with some aspects of the project. “When it comes to where we ended up, nobody’s proud that there were delays. Nobody is proud that we ended over budget,” Potter said. “That was not our intent.” He added: “I don’t think there’s any one entity that has blame. … I’m sure in hindsight, everyone would tell you what they could do a little bit better. But at the end of the day, it’s not as if we weren’t aggressively managing it.” The opening of the Washington-area megaproject comes as the nation is advancing toward its largest transit investment in history under last year’s infrastructure bill. Experts said the nation’s transit builders need to work more efficiently in a country with some of the world’s highest transit construction costs. “If projects slip on schedule and budget, it really hurts confidence in government being able to do stuff,” said Eric Goldwyn, co-author of a recent New York University study of transit costs that used data from 900 projects in 59 countries. The research found average costs in the United States were the sixth-highest. The Silver Line extension’s second phase will complete a rail line that debuted more than eight years ago, a project that added five Metro stations spanning Tysons and Reston. In both phases of the project, MWAA was responsible for construction and oversight before handing the rail system over to Metro for passenger operations. Back in September 2013, Potter set lofty aspirations for the vast work ahead. “Mr. Potter said that the overall goal is to make the Metrorail project the best run public transportation project in the country,” according to minutes at a meeting of MWAA’s board of directors. That optimism came several months after the authority selected Clark Construction Group and Kiewit Infrastructure South to build the extension to Ashburn. Their partnership, Capital Rail Constructors (CRC), in April 2013 offered the lowest price to build the line and its six stations. The $1.18 billion bid bested one by Bechtel, which was still working on the Silver Line’s first phase, by just $14 million. The bid came in $200 million to $400 million below what MWAA expected. The authority hoped the savings would make up for cost overruns that plagued Phase 1, which opened six months late in summer 2014 and, according to MWAA, was $226 million over budget. Less than a year into Phase 2’s construction, which began that same year, those hopes were quickly dashed. The authority announced it would incorporate new state and federal rules for storm water management as part of the project, rather than seek an exemption. The decision delayed completion of the project by more than a year while adding tens of millions to the costs as officials at Capital Rail Constructors scrambled to incorporate the new requirements into their designs. The project would never regain its footing. As more problems surfaced, that delay ultimately stretched to four years. The once-cordial relationship between the airports authority, its contractors and Metro began to fray as the parties bickered. The fact that Metro was not in charge of building the rail line it would operate, and did not have a financial stake in its construction, contributed to the project’s complexity, Potter said. “The ultimate owner did not participate in the construction other than as an adviser,” he said. In response, Metro said in a statement that “understandably, projects of this scale are complex and we have worked closely with MWAA throughout construction to ensure the Silver Line meets Metro’s standards for the existing system.” That arrangement left MWAA to mediate disputes between the contractors it hired and Metro. Potter said the passage of time also added complications. Though MWAA oversaw construction, Fairfax and Loudoun counties had significant financial stakes in the Silver Line, while the Federal Transit Administration had an oversight role. “When you have a project that runs better than a decade, you have changing administrations of all partners,” Potter said. “A changed board is not necessarily wedded to the commitments that were made decades ago.” Other delays stemmed from unforeseen site conditions. To provide utilities such as water and electricity to the stations, workers had to tunnel beneath the Dulles Toll Road. The rock proved to be harder than expected, so the contractor abandoned plans to use boring machines. INSULATION SALE Oil Heat Natural Gas Fall is approaching!

It is set to be a key hub connecting downtown D.C. to wealthy Loudoun County, Va. Its completion last December was three years later than planned, adding tens of millions of dollars to the project’s cost. “I’m sure in hindsight, everyone would tell you what they could do a little bit better. But at the end of the day, it’s not as if we weren’t aggressively managing it.” John E. “Jack” Potter, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Instead, tons of rock was dug out by hand and carried away in five-gallon buckets. Other issues with materials and the subcontractors that provided them raised questions about quality control and MWAA’s oversight. The problems forced project officials to redo or pause work while engineers sought to find the root causes of defective structures. In July 2015, cracks were found in girders that supported the tracks at the Dulles station. In April 2018, project officials discovered substandard concrete was used to make panels that were installed at five stations, which could allow water to seep into structures, causing cracking. Project officials learned issues with concrete panels were even more serious a month later, when a whistleblower’s 2016 lawsuit became public alleging the company that manufactured the pan- els, Universal Concrete, also had falsified inspection reports. One person pleaded guilty in connection with the case, admitting he had falsified records intended to verify the quality and longevity of the panels. The Department of Justice and Virginia also sued the company, which admitted no wrongdoing but agreed to settle for $1 million. Later in 2018, officials confirmed problems with concrete rail ties that Metro feared could cause trains to lean when traveling over certain areas of track. Problems also surfaced at the Dulles rail yard built as part of the project. A platform at a building meant to house trains had to be removed and rebuilt because its dimensions were wrong. There also were cracks on rail yard buildings and problems with track beds that could cause tracks to shift. As a result, a rail yard that was expected to be finished in December 2018 wasn’t completed until December 2021, adding tens of millions of dollars. MWAA officials themselves sometimes seemed at a loss to explain the delays. “It’s hard to say why we need that extra time … at this point,” Charles Stark, then-executive director of the rail project, said in 2019. As time wore on, finger-pointing intensified. MWAA battled with contractors over deadlines, routinely insisting companies find ways to make up for lost time. In letters sent that same year, Stark wrote that the quality-assurance program of Coloradobased Hensel Phelps — in charge of building the Dulles rail yard — appeared to be “ineffective or nonexistent.” The contractor fired back, saying schedule delays were the result of “MWAA’s mismanagement and slow response to issues that arise on the project.” Metro’s inspector general also highlighted the dysfunction in a 2020 report, noting that efforts to resolve issues were hampered by a lack of follow-through by MWAA and its contractors. That same year, MWAA and its contractors also found themselves dealing with the impacts of a pandemic that slowed work on the project and created supply chain challenges. Throughout the project, Metro didn’t always approve of what was built, frustrating some MWAA officials because the transit agency didn’t have to deal with the financial consequences. One such case concerned a dispute over insulator covers to protect rail power-cable connections, colloquially known as “orange boots.” A top MWAA engineering official told local officials the rail contract listed two manufacturers of orange boots approved for the project. After crews finished installing the boots made by one approved manufacturer, Metro wanted them replaced with those made by the other, according to MWAA, which said the midstream change slowed the project. Boots that were installed lacked a tight seal, and Metro said in a statement this month that “based on joint inspections and comparisons of the two boots by Metro and MWAA, a joint decision was made that we needed a better fit to resist water.” Metro executives have emphasized the importance of ensuring ENTRY DOOR SPECIAL OFFER 50% Off Installation Quality Entry Doors Installed In One Day Professional, Highly Trained Craftsmen Sliding Patio Doors and French Doors Available! 12 months 0% interest NO payments for 12 months *with approved credit.

One result of delays was rising costs, as contractors laid the groundwork to be compensated for what they said were years of alterations made to their expected work. “Both contractors are clearly positioning themselves for delay claims at the Project’s completion,” a Federal Transit Administration contractor said as part of an oversight report in 2019. Ultimately, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post over the summer, the airports authority agreed to make additional payments to the lead contractors, settling disputes that could have gone to court. CRC will receive $207 million to cover roughly 130 change orders, including costs for an additional six months of oversight of the line until it was handed over to Metro. The cost of replacing orange boots was also on the list. The company declined to address the causes of cost overruns and delays or its financial standing on the project. In a statement, it praised the “extraordinary team effort … including years of collaboration and expert advice from all sides to mutually agree on the resolution of all issues.” Hensel Phelps, the rail yard contractor, received an additional $46 million, which covered more than 20 change orders, some of which included increases in the cost of building materials such as concrete and asphalt. An additional 16 change orders were not included and will be negotiated separately. The company did not address questions about the reason for delays, saying in a recent statement “we are excited that we have reached resolution to the yard project and WMATA will start operation next week.” Some of the problems echo those identified in research by New York University’s Transit Costs Project. Issues increasing costs include ineffective decisionmaking among disparate partners, insufficient expertise for handling contractors, trouble managing utility work and excessive use of contingencies, which researchers called “especially notable as bad practice.” The use of contingency funds should decrease over time, researchers found, writing that “if the money is already allocated in the budget, there is no incentive not to spend it.” In contrast, the use of contingencies rose between phases in the Silver Line project. Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.), a longtime supporter of the rail extension, said he would give MWAA a medium grade for its management of the project. “MWAA, in retrospect, could have done a better job, but I’m not really going to second-guess MWAA’s overall management,” Connolly said. “It was big. It was ambitious. And it was difficult.” Days before the line opens, McKay, the Fairfax County official, credited MWAA and others for their tenacity, saying, “this, I think, will go down as the most successful infrastructure project in the history of Virginia,” noting that it will enable communities to flourish along the new line. Asked if the airports authority could have done one thing differently to avoid the difficulties it encountered while managing construction, Potter smiled: “Let somebody else do it.”
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ C7 SU VIRGINIA State education officials float revisions to history, social studies guidelines BY J OE H EIM The Virginia Department of Education proposed revisions to the commonwealth’s history and social science learning standards late Friday in a move that would significantly alter the guidelines it had previously recommended and prompted a blistering response from critics who described it as political meddling. The Virginia Board of Education had been scheduled to vote on the recommended guidelines in August but it held off to give its five new members — appointees of Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) — more time to review the standards, and to allow for additional public comment. The original guidelines were developed over months in consultation with museums, historians, professors, political scientists, geographers, economists, teachers, parents and students. In the introduction to its new draft, the education department writes that the aim of the standards overhaul is “to restore excellence, curiosity and excite- ment around teaching and learning history.” “The standards will recognize the world impact of America’s quest for a ‘more perfect Union’ and the optimism, ideals and imagery captured by Ronald Reagan’s ‘shining city upon a hill’ speech,” the document continues. “Students will know our nation’s exceptional strengths, including individual innovation, moral character, ingenuity and adventure, while learning from terrible periods and actions in direct conflict with these ideals.” In a fact sheet sent to state legislators obtained by The Washington Post, the education department said the changes were made because the “August 2022 draft standards were unnecessarily difficult for educators to understand and implement; they were also inaccessible for parents and families.” It said the new proposed standards would revise “repetitive and vague skills-based standards, which teachers could interpret in infinitely various ways, thus not resulting in ‘a shared knowledge as Virginians and as U.S. citizens.’ ” But critics said the new standards are politically motivated and interfere with the ability of teachers to do their jobs and deliver impartial academic instruction and curriculum. “The standards are full of overt political bias, outdated language to describe enslaved people and American Indians, highly subjective framing of American moralism and conservative ideals, coded racist overtures throughout, requirements for teachers to present histories of discrimination and racism as ‘balanced’ ‘without personal or political bias,’ and restrictions on allowance of ‘teacher-created curriculum,’ which is allowed in all other subject areas,” James J. Fedderman, president of the Virginia Education Association, a union representing more than 40,000 education workers in the commonwealth, wrote in a statement. By law Virginia is required to reassess and update its History and Social Science Standards of Learning, known as SOLs, every seven years. The standards — last updated in 2015 — provide general guidance on what subjects and areas must be taught, but the specifics of curriculums are mostly determined by individual school districts. State Sen. Jennifer B. Boysko (D-Fairfax) said she was disappointed the new standards didn’t address the contributions of the large and varied communities from Central and South America and Asia who are a significant part of Virginia’s population. She also said it was important for students to learn about history even if it was difficult and sometimes uncomfortable. “Especially in the world right now with social media really sectioning people off so that they’re not listening to a broader array of information, we need to make sure that in schools students have a safe opportunity to engage with some of these challenging concepts so that they are fully informed,” she said. Boysko also criticized the new standards for not emphasizing the responsibility students have as citizens to participate fully in society. “What I want to see is that all students understand that they can contribute to making the world a better place as opposed to just memorizing facts and dates about people who have contributed to history,” she said. Others, though, supported the department’s changes . “History is a function of human nature, conflict, and progress. It can be inspiring, it can be dark, and it can be challenging to teach and learn,” Ian Prior, a Loudoun County parent, former Trump administration official and founder of the education advocacy group Fight For Schools, wrote in a statement. “. . . Applied correctly by educators in the classroom, [the proposed changes] will unlock key critical thinking skills that students can use to make their own analysis and decision as they mature into young leaders.” Education was a key issue in last year’s governor’s race, and Youngkin campaigned on pledg- es to put parents in charge of learning. During his first week in office, Youngkin, who is often mentioned as a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2024, issued an executive order forbidding the teaching of “inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory,” an academic framework that examines how policies and laws perpetuate systemic racism in the United States. “This effort to revive social studies content is the latest in a series of efforts by the governor to shape education along the lines of his preferences,” said Stephen Farnsworth, a political scientist at the University of Mary Washington. “The governor may be walking into a fight with educators, but that can’t possibly be a surprise to him at this point.” The board is expected to vote on the new standards early next year. If approved, the standards would begin being taught in the 2024-2025 school year. Hannah Natanson contributed to this report. Two Pr. George’s teens are breaking down barriers, winning titles in rodeo RODEO FROM C1 In the arenas where they have competed across the country, Hall and Jackson, who are Black, had not seen many champions who look like them. They smiled, used to performing. Few truly understand the dedication and athleticism behind their seemingly improbable wins: Hall, Maryland High School Rodeo Association all-around cowgirl and rodeo queen, and Jackson, the 2020 Junior World Finals bull riding champion. It has taken years of discipline and sacrifice to get here, and the support of families determined to see their children excel while breaking down any barriers. Rodeo queen Morissa asked her father for a horse when she was in first grade. She initially wanted a dirt bike, but they were all too big for her at the time, she said. Morse Hall III, now 50, entertained his only daughter’s request and told her it was possible — if she brought home straight A’s from school. For seven years, she did. “I really think that first time I achieved straight A’s, [the horse] might’ve been motivation,” she said. “After a while, I forgot about the horse. … So, it’s just a standard I hold for myself.” Her father, however, had not forgotten about the horse. The licensed physical therapist had to find a way to fulfill his end of the bargain he made when the pair was living in a one-bedroom apartment in D.C. “When you see a kid or a person excel like that for that long, it shows you their level of commitment,” he said. “I had to make it happen. I couldn’t say, ‘You’ll grow out of it.’ I was an honors student all the way through college, but I never made seven years of consecutive A’s.” Morse took on more shifts, added extra clients and worked at a feverish pace until his nest egg grew enough to purchase a horse. It eventually dawned on him that Morissa would need a place for the horse to live. So, he began looking at properties around Prince George’s County that would be big enough for the both of them and a horse — or four. Morse and Morissa’s mother, Terry Moriarty, 60, also had family connections to horses. Moriarty, a nurse and clinical research nurse manager, grew up in Landover Hills with a father who had family horses in Tennessee she would sometimes visit throughout her childhood. Morse’s maternal great grandparents had workhorses on their farm, and he had relatives who used draft horses for farming, in Front Royal, Va. He also had an uncle in Prince George’s County who had a stable with a friend that held up to 20 horses, he said. When Moriarty and Morse were together, they would often take weekend trips to Virginia to ride horses, and his family gatherings often had ponies for young children to ride, Moriarty said. His passion would lead to multiple trips to the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo, a rodeo that celebrates Black cowboys and cowgirls and a strong connection to Corey Jackson, Nic Jackson’s father. The two rodeo fathers have formed a bond that has blossomed into a brotherhood in which they talk all things rodeo and marvel at the athletic heights their children have reached. Morse eventually found an 11acre fixer-upper, when Morissa was about 6 years old, that would serve as home for Morissa, her future horses and her rodeo dreams. She put in the work. So much work that Alsobrooks proclaimed Oct. 24 Morissa Hall Day in honor of her accomplishments: being named Maryland High School rodeo queen for two years by the Maryland High School Rodeo Association and snatching other titles in rodeo while remaining an honors student at Elizabeth Seton High School, a private all-girls Catholic school in Bladensburg, Md. Morse is a self-taught rodeo instructor for Morissa who brings in outside help when he knows he has reached his level of teaching her. Her achievements give him goose bumps, he said. Still, Morse and Moriarty think about how Morissa could achieve more with the advantages her competitors often have: generational wealth, access to more horses and training. “It’s like you go to a Ferrari racecar track with a Yugo. It doesn’t matter how good of a driver you are, you still got a Yugo,” Morse said. “As her father, I want her to be competitive. I want to give her a shot. She has to have a better horse. … It’s nothing for these kids to have a $200,000 horse.” For now, Morissa is focused on her grades, upcoming competition and where she might go to college — hopefully on a rodeo scholarship. Fifth-generation cowboy The costs of participating in equine sports pile up, said Robyn Jackson, Nic Jackson’s mom: Paying for riding shoes, hay for horses and places to ride them all lock children out of participating. Though local nonprofits and charities help families bypass some of those expenses, making more Morissa Halls and Nicholas Jacksons in Prince George’s County will not be easy, she said. “It’s very difficult to kind of not have any connections to this life,” she said. “I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s very difficult … it’s very prohibitive for lots of families of color … families in general.” Nic became interested in rodeo after watching the sport on television. At just 3 years old, he started mutton busting, or riding sheep, against other children. After aging out of the sport, it was natural for him to enter bull riding, which he described as “like a dance” because of the countermoves required to work with the bull. “I think it’s taught me to show respect to the animals, too, because they’re out there doing their job just as well as we are,” he said. Jackson, 41, has birthed her family’s fifth generation of cowboys and cowgirls. In addition to Nic, her 12-yearold twin daughters, Ryan and Reagan, are making names for themselves in rodeo competitions, and 9-year-old Dylan seems to be captivated with bull riding, like Nic. “I don’t know that these kids would be excelling as they are had I not I had a leg up, you know. My dad had a leg up,” she said. “Although I did not [do] rodeo as a child, we had the leg up at the property available. We had the know about the horses.” Jackson’s ancestors were sharecroppers in Prince George’s County during the Reconstruction era, and her family’s history with horses began as they were tasked with caring for work mules and horses, she said. That skill would travel across generations and leave an indelible memory with her late father — well into the civil rights era. As a young boy living on the land his family continued to work for years, he remembered a time when he wanted to ride a pony that belonged to the land owner. The owner told her father that he would not know anything about the pony and that it was best to stick with the work mules and horses his family handled for a living, she said. That denial, she believes, spurred her father to prove that owner wrong well into his own adulthood. Jackson’s father, Robert Harper Sr., purchased a wooded, nearly 10-acre area of land in Upper Marlboro, Md., built a home on it and brought horses he had boarded elsewhere in the county to his property, she said. She would later find a life partner who devotes himself to learning as much as he can about horses as her father had. Corey Jackson, 46, a WinstonSalem, N.C., native, fell in love with horses by watching Saturday morning “shoot’em-ups,” or westerns, with his grandfather. As a child, whenever there was a rodeo that came to town, he made sure he was there. Jackson displayed some impressive tricks with his horse at the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo, where they first met, despite not growing up with horses, Robyn said. A few months passed without seeing one another until they attended a Western cabaret where she was decked out in full Western attire. “At that moment, it was on,” Corey Jackson said. She was the one. The marriage would yield a life with five children, eight horses, six bulls and a full rodeo arena in the backyard where four of the children sharpen their rodeo talents when they are not being homeschooled. On a typical day, Nic finishes his schoolwork around 3 p.m. before heading out to “buck the dummy” or ride a dummy bull that simulates riding. He’ll then get one of his bulls to get real-life experience. Though he is aware that he hails from a long line of cowboys, Black cowboys at that, he does not much think about being different from others when he travels at least 11 months out of the year to compete. “There’s usually a small group of [Black kids]. We all see each other at most of the bigger rodeos we go to,” he said, noting that he never focused on the quantity. “I never thought of it that way.” College is still some years off for Nic, so he is just enjoying the dancing feeling of bull riding. More opportunities? The Jacksons and the Halls note they often travel out of state, adding to the costs of the sport, because there simply are not enough local high school rodeo competitions in the area. One of Morissa’s goals is to expand exposure to the sport and to increase the number of people in Maryland who compete. “When you go to all these big shows, a lot of people don’t know what Maryland is or where it is,” she said giggling at having to explain the state’s proximity to the White House. Morissa recently asked Also- PHOTOS BY BILL O'LEARY/THE WASHINGTON POST ABOVE: Nicholas Jackson, left, the 2020 Junior World Finals bull riding champion, with his siblings Reagan, 12, Dylan, 9, and Ryan, 12.

It appears Alsobrooks has been mulling over Morissa’s question. “In addition to hosting world class competitions like the Washington International Horse Show, we will certainly be seeking ways to identify funding for improvements and other needs that will allow us to host rodeo competitions right here at home,” Alsobrooks said in a statement.

Please view and sign the family guestbook online at www.jeffersonfuneralchapel.com CURRENT 2022 RATES: ( PER DAY) MARIA LUCRECIA BARANICK (Age 51) A SSOCIATED P RESS Kevin Conroy, the prolific voice actor whose gravelly delivery on “Batman: The Animated Series” was — for many Batman fans — the definitive sound of the Caped Crusader, died Nov. 10 at age 66. The cause was cancer, series producer Warner Bros. announced. No other details were immediately available. Mr. Conroy was the voice of Batman for the animated series that ran from 1992 to 1996, often acting opposite Mark Hamill’s Joker. Mr. Conroy continued as the almost-exclusive animated voice of Batman, including about 15 films, 400 episodes of television and two dozen video games, including the “Batman: Arkham” and “Injustice” franchises. He was a sought-after personality on the Comic-Con circuit. Mr. Conroy was born in Westbury, N.Y., on Nov. 30, 1955, and raised in Westport, Conn. He attended the Juilliard School in New York and roomed with Robin Williams. After graduating, he toured with John Houseman’s acting group, the Acting Company. He later performed in Richard Greenberg’s play “Eastern Standard” on Broadway in 1989. “Eastern Standard,” in which Mr. Conroy played a TV producer secretly living with AIDS, had particular meaning to him. Mr. Conroy, who was gay, said at the time he was regularly attending funerals for friends who had died of AIDS. He poured out his anguish nightly onstage. Mr. Conroy also acted in soap operas and had appearances on TV series including “Cheers,” “Tour of Duty” and “Murphy Brown.” In 1991, when casting director Andrea Romano was scouting her lead actor for “Batman: The Animated Series,” she went through hundreds of auditions before Mr. Conroy came in. He was there on a friend’s recommendation — and was cast immediately. He began the role without any background in comics and as a novice at voice acting. His Batman was husky, brooding and dark. His Bruce Wayne was light and dashing. His inspiration for DEATH NOTICE FRANK CARLTON ACKLEY KEVIN CONROY, 66 BY DEATH NOTICE .

ALL NOTICES MUST BE PREPAID “Calling it animation doesn’t do it justice. It’s more like mythology.” BRENTON PATRICK MICHAEL BRENTON Kevin Conroy the contrasting voices, he said, came from the 1930s film “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” about a foppish-seeming English aristocrat who leads a secret life as a dashing hero rescuing victims of the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. “It’s so much fun as an actor to sink your teeth into,” Mr. Conroy told the New York Times of his Batman role in 2016. “Calling it animation doesn’t do it justice. It’s more like mythology.” As Mr. Conroy’s performance evolved over the years, it sometimes connected to his own life. He described his own father as an alcoholic and said his family disintegrated while he was in high school. He channeled those emotions into the 1993 animated film “Mask of the Phantasm,” which revolved around Bruce Wayne’s unsettled issues with his parents. “Andrea came in after the recording and grabbed me in a hug,” Mr. Conroy told the Holly- wood Reporter in 2018. “Andrea said, ‘I don’t know where you went, but it was a beautiful performance.’ She knew I was drawing on something.” Mr. Conroy is survived by his husband, Vaughn C. Williams; a sister; and a brother. In “Finding Batman,” released earlier this year, Mr. Conroy penned a comic about his unlikely journey with the character and as a gay man in Hollywood. “I’ve often marveled at how appropriate it was that I should land this role,” he wrote. “As a gay boy growing up in the 1950s and ’60s in a devoutly Catholic family, I’d grown adept at concealing parts of myself.” The voice that emerged from Mr. Conroy for Batman, he said, was one he didn’t recognize — a voice that “seemed to roar from 30 years of frustration, confusion, denial, love, yearning.” “I felt Batman rising from deep within.” Patrick Michael Brenton, 79, passed away early in the morning on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 with his family by his side in Germantown, MD. He was born on October 17, 1943 in Burlington, WI to Cecil Willard Brenton and Lenore Cecile Brenton (neé McNamara). He was preceded in death by his parents, and his brothers, Paul Brenton, Albert (Kenneth) Brenton, and Charles Brenton. He is survived by his beloved wife, Joji Suegay Brenton, his daughters Megan Kathleen Brenton and Kimberly Ann Rupley (Sean), six siblings, David Brenton, Donald Brenton (Sally), Daniel Brenton (Lynn), Phillip Brenton, Gretchen Davison (David), and Laura Prusaitis, and many dear nieces and nephews.

She was valedictorian of her senior class at Deposit High School and graduated from Houghton College in 1962 with a BA in English. At age 21, Carol had her parents drop her o with her luggage at the YWCA in downtown Washington, DC, a city where she knew no one and had no job prospects. Washington and all its cultural o erings must have seemed like a wonderland to this small-town minister’s daughter. Eventually her sisters, Ginny and Kathie, joined her to live in DC as well. Carol joined the sta of the magazine Christianity Today, where she served as editor for many years, leaving eventually to join the Center for Ethics and Public Policy. In 1968 she married James E. Gri th. They settled in the Chevy Chase section of DC, with a weekend house in Shady Side, MD. Living in the city suited Carol well; she was devoted to the arts and often attended 3 and 4 cultural events in a week in both Washington and New York City, where she traveled frequently. At home she surrounded herself with books, art, and music, taking great care to arrange the details of her life artfully. An accomplished pianist, she took lessons all her life, and she was active in the music program at her church, the Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church. Upon retirement, Carol and Jim moved to Five Star Senior Living in Chevy Chase, MD. After Jim died in 2018, Carol continued to lead a full and independent life until the onset of health problems in October 2021. But, while the last year of her life was challenging, she remained cheerful and optimistic until the end, spending her days immersed in the beloved books that had been her constant companions throughout her life. During the pandemic Carol, Ginny, and Kathie started meeting at Point of Rocks, MD, to sit by the Potomac River in the sun. Carol didn’t want a funeral or memorial service, and we are planning a family outing in spring to scatter her ashes and celebrate her life. She is survived by her sisters, Ginny Weinstock and Kathie Friedley, brother-inlaw Robert Weinstock, nieces Sara Kowalski and Andrea Weinstock, and nephew Jake Endres.

REDD LATTISAW WESSELS My dear wife and sweetheart Joan, after a valiant two year struggle with Alzheimer’s, and earlier having survived leukemia, left me in the evening hours of June 5, 2022.Joan, the oldest of two, was known around her Milwaukee neighborhood of taking good care of her younger brother Tom. If you messed with Tom you had better be prepared to deal with Tom’s older sister, Joan. Few, if any, dared to take that challenge. Joan’s father John was a Milwaukee high school principal who had served as a naval officer in the Pacific in WWII. Her mother Marie worked for a large insurance company and was said to type 100 words a minute, an incredible skill to have in a typewriter economy. Joan was a bright youngster and a quick learner. Out of high school she was awarded a full scholarship to the Northwestern School of Journalism. However, marriage got in the way and she reluctantly left Northwestern after two years. The marriage didn’t last. She raised her two sons Hugh and Thomas on her own until they graduated from college and could fend for themselves. In the meantime she acquired an MA in English from the University of New Hampshire while serving as the Associate Director of Financial Aid. Her professional and people skills were noticed, leading her to accept a job offer as Vice Provost for Admissions and Financial Aid at American University in Washington DC. Joan held subsequent positions as VIce President Enrollment Management at Hood College in Frederick, MD, and as Associate Dean for Admissions at the University of Maryland School of Nursing, in Baltimore, MD. One of Joan’s coworkers summarized how she and others felt about working for her, when they learned of her passing: ‘Miss my JEFFREY MARK SHERMAN (Age 64) Of Fairfax, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 7, 2022.

She honored her deep love of dogs in particular through her continuous and generous support of Guide dog for the Blind, ASPCA, Morris Animal Foundation, PETA, Dumb Friends League, North Shore Animal Rescue League, The Humane Society, and A Wish for Animals. Her favorite television event was the Westminster Dog show, anxiously awaiting its broadcast each year. Laura loved her own dogs and was often seen enjoying long walks with them in Washington, DC and at her later home in Vail. LAURA ARMOUR COOK DR. DANIEL FINE greatest boss and friend.’ One evening in July 2004 Joan came home from work to our residence in Fairfax Station, VA, and casually mentioned to me, ‘I am going to retire.’ I was taken aback, we had never talked about her retirement. I asked ‘Why?’ She simply responded, ‘I want to spend more time with you.’ I couldn’t love her more. Both of our earlier marriages had failed, so the 34 years we had together were the best of times for us both. She edited many of my books, never tried to change me, nor do I recall an unkind word directed at me. On a daily basis, never missing, she would leave a note for me somewhere around the house where I was sure to find it, to tell me how much she loved me. I still have them all.- I cared for her when dementia took over her mind and body, until I could not do it any more. For the last eight months of her life she received care at the FAIRFAX, Fort Belvoir, Va. I didn’t miss a day to be with her, take her around the lake in her wheelchair, feed her lunch in the dining room - then she left me alone with my memories of our wonderful bygone days.- Joan loved her grandsons Aidan, Quinn and Finn. When little, they called their grandma ‘Joany the Pony,’ Joan loved it, and would proudly share that moniker with anyone who would listen. She was equally inclusive with my son Charles and his daughters Anna and Amanda. We were one family, loved to spend Easter and Thanksgiving together, in the early years cooking the turkey at home, a family affair, in later years I would take the whole gaggle to a sit-down affair at the Fort Myer Officers’ Mess.- Joan and I traveled widely across the United States and Europe. She learned to ski for me, our favorite was Steamboat in Colorado, and before you could say Schuss, we were taking the whole family to Steamboat year after year. She loved to go to the Tetons and Yellowstone, and in later years Florida, especially the Gulf Coast - St Pete, Clearwater, Marco Island, Key West - she had her favorite alligator holes where we could watch the beasts roasting in the sun.In Europe, Rothenburg was her favorite, and we stayed there nearly every time we traveled to Europe. Strasbourg, France, was a close second. Everyday in our 34 years together was an adventure from morning to night.- Joan will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery on November 16, 2022. The ceremony will commence at 9 a.m. in the morning. Thank you my love for the years you chose to share with me. I will always miss you. Always love you. Your Wolf two years, majoring in sociology.

Bowser (D) won a third term as mayor of Washington, in an expected victory in this heavily Democratic city. The Washington Post sat down with Bowser ahead of the election to ask about schools, development and the term that Bowser has promised will be “the comeback” from the pandemic years. A selection of Bowser’s answers are below; the interview has been condensed. Q: When you talk about coming out of the pandemic, how would you rate how D.C. is doing right now in this long recovery? A: How are we doing? You’re asking somebody who is very impatient that question. … Our economic strategy right now is focused on how we get our workers back but also how we replace activity in our downtown commercial corridors where we won’t see the same number of workers. That focus will be on housing. It will also be on broadening our events and visitation because of organic D.C. things like our parades and festivals, our streateries, our murals. Q: What do you think will look different about D.C. a few years from now? A: We are prepared to be bold and transformational in our recommendations. We’re going to study ways to increase affordable housing in high-opportunity areas. I would include the downtown in that. I think one benefit of covid is that we saw how to use our public spaces differently. I am pushing my team right now to think about all of the opportunities to transform public space so that we can bring more people to all parts of the city. Q: How would you characterize the direction the D.C. Council is moving and your relationship with the council? A: I think my relationship with the council is what it should be. A mayor works with councils to set a bold vision for the city, introduce budgets that help delivery on that bold vision, and work with the council members on what we need policy-wise and legislatively to get those things done. Likewise, it’s our job, when the council members have proposals, to make sure that they’re best for the city. Q: There’s this perception in the media and elsewhere of an increasingly liberal council and a moderate mayor, and there’s tension. Do you think that’s right? A: We’re all kind of progressive in this city. Our policy differences really aren’t that big. Sometimes they are, but if I had to add up all the pieces of legislation in a session, I’m willing to bet that we agree on 90 percent of things. When I look at our budget deliberations, we have almost a $20 billion budget. We might argue over $100 million worth of items. I think policy-wise we’re very close, but people do expect the mayor to be the voice for the whole city. Where there are differences — it’s not about personalities. It’s not about the mayor not getting along with the council. It’s none of that. It’s just that I believe that the chief executive, and I know the voters believe this too, is responsible for setting the tone of how the government will approach big issues. Q: Do you feel like people have trust in the people you have running agencies and running government? [The Post asked Bowser specifically about Ernest Chrappah, who led the recently dismantled Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs and whom Bowser intends to keep in leadership of part of the agency, and the leaders of the D.C. Housing Authority, as well as recently resigned Deputy Mayor Christopher Geldart.] A: Absolutely. What D.C. residents know about me is that if I need to make a change, I’m going to make a change. If there’s something difficult that happens in the government, I’m going to tell them and course-correct. They also know that in a government of 37,000 employees, on any given day something can go wrong. They want to know that we have a framework to deal with it. Q: Among people I talk to, the most commonly dissatisfied group is parents. A: Really? Q: Parents are often frustrated. Their kids were out of school for a long time. Maybe they’re having trouble coming back. A: I don’t get that impression from parents. That’s not to say there aren’t things that we can do in each school, but what I hear is that we have free pre-K3 and pre-K4 and those kids have come back. … We know there was a lot of frustration around covid-related closures. … Our schools were the first open in the region. We were able to make huge invest- ments in air filtration early, in covid testing early, in rapid testing early, in reaching an agreement with the Washington Teachers’ Union to bring teachers back in the classroom. Q: And now that they are open, what needs to be done to get schools back on track? A: What I’ve heard from teachers and school leaders is this feels like a normal school year. We didn’t go in with any restrictions, because of how this community stood together to fight covid. … It should feel like a normal school year. And more than that, parents should know that there are a lot of supports out there for enrichment: one-on-one tutoring, extracurricular activities, paid internships for students. I think that we’re going to continue to have more ideas. Nationwide, the math performance is what is really on everybody’s mind. So I’m going to ask the public education team if some of these out-of-school enrichment activities, if it’s worth it just to have them math-themed. Q: On the campaign trail, you hear “developers” all the time. There’s criticism that you’re too close to developers or you’re prioritizing developers. They’re also very necessary to, well, develop. Could you talk about your approach to working with developers and why you think there’s so much criticism around that? A: Because the media says it and it’s kind of a cheap, salacious thing to say. People have been saying it for 15 years, and I’ve been getting elected for 15 years. You can look at one of the first developments that I was involved in as an ANC commissioner on Riggs Road and South Dakota Avenue, and here’s my approach. CRAIG HUDSON FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) won a third term, which she has promised will be “the comeback” from the pandemic years. I believe that neighborhoods don’t get better by themselves, and that if you have declining retail, if you have dangerous conditions, if you don’t have amenities, you have to change that, or it’s only going to continue to decline. So I believe in neighborhood-focused, supported development that delivers what neighbors want. I’m bullish about economic development. This is what I know about making the city more affordable. If every part of the city is thought of as desirable, people will find it more affordable to live here. When I go to the new Lidl at Skyland, or when we go to the former Walmart pad where we’re going to get a new Giant, or now in historic Anacostia where we have more amenities coming up, more people will think that that’s a neighborhood that I can live in and that I can afford to live in. Because it has a grocery store, it has great transportation.

So we have to build more housing all over the city, but we also have to invest in amenities for every neighborhood in the city. You shouldn’t think that you have to go to the Wharf because that’s the only place where you’re going to be close to a restaurant. Or that you have to live in the Palisades because that’s the only place where you think there’s a good elementary school. Or you don’t feel comfortable getting on a bus because we’re letting juveniles terrorize the bus system. … I get a small-area plan done.

D10 Coalescing Wizards win third straight WIZARDS 121, JAZZ 112 BY A VA W ALLACE Back before the season started, before their three primary scorers had even shared a court, Washington Wizards players said their biggest strength would be their offensive versatility. It made sense on paper with Bradley Beal, Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma offering an abundance of scoring ability — yet through the majority of their first 10 games, that offense sputtered as often as it sparkled. But in a 121-112 win against the Utah Jazz, the Wizards finally delivered on their promise. Washington leaned on a diverse group of scorers to attack the red-hot Jazz and came away with its third straight win — all of which have come without Beal, who missed his fourth consecutive game with the coronavirus. Beal cleared the league’s health and safety protocols Friday but stayed on the bench against Utah as he regains his conditioning. Coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Beal also will miss Sunday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It’s a rare thing that the Wizards can be without Beal, give up Heinicke unfazed by potential QB switch 14 three-pointers and still come away with a win. But their offense was robust enough to trump the second-highest-scoring team in the league: The Wizards had five scorers in double figures, two more with nine points each and a season-high 16 three-pointers while shooting 50 percent from the field. The Jazz had 12 turnovers, and Washington made Utah pay with 13 points off fast breaks. “The two areas where they struggle are in the paint and in transition,” Unseld said, As Wentz nears return, Commanders’ backup keeps focus on Eagles SEE WIZARDS ON D14 Grizzlies at Wizards Today, 6 p.m., NBCSW JOHN MCDONNELL/THE WASHINGTON POST Kristaps Porzingis had a game-high 31 points to go along with 10 rebounds as the Wizards slowed down the red-hot Jazz at home. WORLD CUP BY S AM F ORTIER Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz is fast approaching being eligible to return from injured reserve, but Taylor Heinicke is unfazed. The backup, who has started the past three games in place of Wentz, said this week that the looming possibility of being replaced as the starter doesn’t affect him. “Honestly, I don’t think about it,” the 29-year-old Heinicke insisted. He has a massive stage for what could be his final appearance atop the Commanders’ quarterback depth chart: at the Philadelphia Eagles, their undefeated NFC East rivals, on “Monday Night Football.” Wentz, who fractured the ring finger on his right hand in a Week 6 win over the Chicago Bears, will be eligible to return from the injured list Tuesday. Heinicke has faced questions about his standing since the spring, when the team traded for Wentz and drafted Sam Howell, but throughout, he has maintained he will do whatever it takes to help the Commanders succeed. “My role this year was to be backup to Carson and, if he went down, be ready to play, and I feel like I’ve done that,” Heinicke said SEE COMMANDERS ON D7 Commanders at Eagles Tomorrow, 8:15 p.m., ESPN, WTTG-5 A superstar quarterback is no longer a cure-all quit. These kids are the toughest kids. We were going to battle to the end regardless of the score.” No. 20 Notre Dame (7-3) scored touchdowns on its first three drives and on five of six in the first half. The Midshipmen (3-7) have allowed opponents to score on their opening drives in seven of 10 games this season and are 0-7 in those contests. Halfway through this fickle NFL regular season, one distinct theme has emerged. It is best Jerry stated as a Brewer warning: Rely too much on your quarterback at your own risk. This is not the year to have quarterback dependency issues. If Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers don’t have it in them to mask their teams’ problems, then something peculiar must be happening. Aging cannot explain it all away, because plenty of standout quarterbacks, at varying levels of experience, have been shaky through the first nine weeks. On the other hand, the unlikely star turn of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith at age 32 has been a charming development, and two young players once considered limited — Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa — are performing at an elite level after their teams made big trades and spent huge money on wide receiver upgrades. The early results indicate a shift. For most of the past decade, pass-happy, spreadconcept offenses have revolutionized the NFL, and even teams with traditional systems have used wrinkles to put defenders in awkward situations and make it easier to throw the ball deep. But for those who crave balance and hard-hitting defensive football, this might be the transitional season they have been waiting to see.

Yet by nowadays they might marvel at more than the you’re-kidding-me national title the women’s team won in its fourth year of existence or the way the men frequented NCAA tournaments and wrecked those of others. No, they have a multigenerational doozy to consider. One of their female defenders, Kelley Harlow, wound up marrying one of their male forwards, Mark Pulisic, and the two had a son Christian.

D2 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST SU . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 DI G ES T TENNIS Nakashima is champ at the Next Gen ATP American Brandon Nakashima stayed perfect in Milan as he won the Next Gen ATP finals Saturday with his second straight-sets victory over Jiri Lehecka this week. Nakashima needed just 80 minutes to wrap up his 4-3 (7-5), 4-3 (8-6), 4-2 victory, securing the title on the first of three championship points when Lehecka sent a forehand long. The fourth-seeded Nakashima won all five of his matches at the year-ending tournament for 21-and-under players, including a straight-sets victory over Lehecka in the group stage. “It’s been a great season for me. I’ve definitely learned a lot with every match, with every tournament,” said Nakashima, who won his first ATP title in his home city of San Diego in September. Lehecka broke Nakashima’s serve in the very first game. But Nakashima broke back in the sixth game to take the set to a tiebreaker, where the American raced to a 5-0 lead and went on to take the set. Lehecka threatened to start the second set in similar fashion, but Nakashima managed to save two break points early on. It was Nakashima’s second appearance at the Next Gen finals. He lost to compatriot Sebastian Korda in the semifinals last year. This is the fifth edition of the Next Gen ATP Finals, which features shorter sets of first-tofour games and other format changes. . . . Australia reached the final of the biggest team event in women’s tennis for the 19th time after winning the decisive doubles on a match tiebreaker to beat host nation Britain, 2-1, in a thriller at the Billie Jean King Cup in Glasgow, Scotland. Facing the seven-time winners in Sunday’s title match will be Switzerland, which took an unassailable 2-0 lead over the Czech Republic. The Swiss have never won the competition formerly known as the Fed Cup, losing the final in 1998 and again last year. Storm Sanders beat Heather Watson, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), to give Australia an early lead before Harriet Dart leveled for Britain with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 triumph over Ajla Tomljanovic. Sanders then teamed with Sam Stosur for a 7-6 (7-1), 6-7 (7-5), 10-6 victory over Alicia Barnett and Olivia Nicholls. The Swiss team advanced behind wins by Viktorija Golubic and Belinda Bencic. Golubic beat Karolina Muchova, 6-4, 6-4, and Bencic saw off Karolina Pliskova, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6). AUTO RACING Formula One team Mercedes had a day to remember at the Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo. Alpine had a day to forget. Mercedes driver George Russell will start Sunday’s race in pole position after winning the sprint race at Interlagos, with teammate Lewis Hamilton also in the front row, while Alpine drivers Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon had a high-profile clash on the track. Max Verstappen will start in third position. He and his Red Bull team already have been crowned F1 champions. Alonso will start back in 15th place and did not hide his anger against Ocon after being forced wide. Ocon, who topped the afternoon’s free practice, will start 18th. Both drivers are under investigation from race stewards. Sebastian Vettel, who will retire at the end of the season, was more restrained in his reactions after Aston Martin teammate Lance Stroll closed a gap aggressively. Minutes later race organizers gave Stroll a 10-second penalty for a dangerous maneuver. Vettel finished ninth, and Stroll will start from 17th place.

Lawsuit: U.S. star abused teammate USOPC puts two staffers on leave amid allegations against Paralympian BY R ICK M AESE A decorated U.S. Paralympic swimmer repeatedly sexually abused an intellectually impaired teammate at the Tokyo Games and at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, where the two athletes were paired together as roommates, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court. The 63-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for Colorado states Robert Griswold “maliciously targeted and groomed” Parker Egbert, a 19-year-old who has autism and has suffered from developmental delays his entire life, taking advantage of his teammate’s intellectual disability that “rendered him vulnerable and naive to abuse.” “This case is a horrific tragedy, where a young man who defied all odds to become a world-class Paralympic swimmer had his life utterly shattered by rape and abuse when he was paired with a team member who was a violent sexual predator,” the complaint states. Griswold, a 25-year-old swimmer who has cerebral palsy, did not respond to an email seeking comment Friday and has said nothing publicly about the allegations, which first surfaced last month on the popular swimming site SwimSwam. He was temporarily suspended by the U.S. Center for SafeSport on Aug. 23 for “allegations of misconduct” and is not allowed to compete while the case remains open. The lawsuit charges the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and SafeSport with negligence for failing to protect Egbert and for allowing Griswold close access to the athlete even though Griswold had faced previous allegations of misconduct and had received a previous temporary suspension in September 2020, which was lifted before the Tokyo Paralympics. “The allegations brought forth by the complaint filed today are extremely concerning and we take them very seriously,” a USOPC spokesman said in a statement. “We’ve made the decision to place two staff members on administrative leave and have also stopped the work of several contractors with U.S. Paralympics Swimming. We’re also continuing our investigation of the allegations to help us determine the facts, and we are committed to taking appropriate action.” Representatives for U.S. Paralympics Swimming did not respond to messages seeking comment Friday. Emails sent to Erin Popovich, the organization’s director, and Nathan Manley, the associate director, received automatic replies with both officials saying they’re “currently away on leave.” A spokesman for SafeSport, the five-year-old nonprofit organization tasked with investigating and preventing sexual abuse in Olympic sports organizations, declined to comment on the lawsuit. A Colorado Springs Police Department spokesman confirmed to The Washington Post last month that there was an “open and active investigation” related to Griswold but declined to reveal any details. Griswold has not been charged with any crimes. The Post generally does not name victims of sexual assault, but Egbert identified himself in Friday’s court filing. Through an attorney, Egbert and his family declined to comment further. “As you can imagine, this ordeal has been extraordinarily difficult for the Egbert family, as well as the other victims and families that have been impacted, so we ask that their privacy be respected,” attorneys Frank Salzano and Elizabeth Kramer said in a statement. According to the lawsuit, Egbert was born with autism, did not speak his first words until he was 6 and today “has the mental capacity of a five-year old.” But he showed promise in the swimming pool at the U.S. Paralympic trials in June 2021, where he qualified for the Tokyo Games. According to the complaint, Griswold befriended and began grooming Egbert at the trials. By the time the national team got to Tokyo later that summer, Griswold was Egbert’s “de facto chaperone,” according to the lawsuit, and “was always seated next to him on plane and bus rides, and was given prolonged unsupervised access to [Egbert] as the two shared a room in the Olympic Village.” The complaint alleges the “USOPC assigned Griswold to be a supervisor of” Egbert. Griswold abused Egbert on multiple occasions, according to the complaint, and warned Egbert that he “would get in trouble” and “the police would come” if he spoke out. There was at least one witness to the abuse in Tokyo, according to the filing. A third, unnamed roommate became so enraged by what he saw, that athlete punched a wall and was later reprimanded by team officials for his outburst, the lawsuit states. Griswold, a two-time Paralympian from Freehold, N.J., won two gold medals and broke a world record in Tokyo, and the complaint alleges he had become an influential figure in the U.S. Paralympic world. The lawsuit states Griswold urged USOPC officials to extend an invitation to Egbert to live and train at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. The two athletes were again paired together as roommates, the lawsuit states, and the abuse continued. “On at least one occasion, Griswold raped Plaintiff so viciously that Plaintiff lost bowel control. To this day Plaintiff continues to suffer from persistent and excruciating rectal pain, for which surgery and continuing medical attention is required,” the complaint states. According to the filing, Egbert stopped showering and began writing stories “as a means of escape,” including the tale of “Spookley and the Hurricane,” about a group of friends who battled a powerful monster called “Hurricane Robert.” His parents reached out to USOPC officials when Egbert first revealed the abuse allegations, the complaint states, “but the USOPC failed to investigate the issue and summarily and dismissively told Plaintiff’s parents that Plaintiff was just fine, and that Griswold posed absolutely no risk to Plaintiff.” The lawsuit alleges the USOPC and SafeSport protected Griswold, who “was a premier swimmer, and because Griswold’s family was deeply embedded with leaders throughout the U.S. Paralympic swimming community.” The complaint offers no details about Griswold’s previous suspension but says the USOPC and SafeSport ignored red flags and previous complaints before placing Egbert in a dangerous situation with little to no oversight. “Griswold’s physical, verbal, and sexual abuse occurred in large part because of the acts and omissions of USOPC and SafeSport,” the complaint states. In August, the USOPC suspended Griswold from the training center and removed him as a member of the national team, and SafeSport issued its temporary suspension. One week earlier, according to social media posts, Griswold married his fiancee in a Florida beach ceremony. Egbert’s parents traveled to Colorado Springs that week and took their son home to Iowa. According to the complaint, the young swimmer “had to make the difficult decision to leave behind his lifelong dream.” “Since his return home, [Egbert] has continuously told his parents ‘thank you for saving me from’ Griswold,” the lawsuit states, “however, to this day, [Egbert] remains fearful that Griswold ‘knows where they live’ and ‘is going to kill [him].’” GOLF ROUNDUP Finau handles wind, maintains Houston Open lead A SSOCIATED P RESS Tony Finau had his highest score of the week, and it felt as if it was his best round of the week in a cold wind Saturday. He kept bogeys off his card, had a 2-under-par 68 and kept his lead at four shots going into the final round of the Houston Open. Finau had such control at Memorial Park that he hit every fairway and missed only two greens on a day when the average score was 71.2 and only one of the three par 5s played to an average score below par. Most satisfying was the 10-foot par putt he made on the 18th hole after a rare miss into the bunker. The bogey-free round kept his distance from Ben Taylor of England and allowed Finau to tie the 54-hole tournament record. He was at 15-under 195, the same score Curtis Strange had in 1980. “That was a really good round,” Finau said. “I think the score doesn’t say that, but I think I played better than yesterday. You know, yesterday I shot 62. But today that 68 I thought was pretty impressive for the conditions.” The only change was who was chasing him. Finau had a four-shot lead when the second round was completed Saturday morning because of storm delays, leading Patrick Rodgers and Alex Noren. Both had 73s to fall out of contention. l LPGA TOUR: Allisen Corpuz is closing out a solid rookie year, and now the Hawaii native has a chance to make it even better at the Pelican Women’s Championship in Belleair, Fla. Corpuz made four birdies in a six-hole stretch in the middle of her second round and had another 5-under 65, giving her a one-shot lead going into the final round of the penultimate LPGA Tour event of the year. Right behind Corpuz is a group of top contenders, making that one-shot lead feel even smaller. l PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS: Padraig Harrington shot a 9-under 62 to take a five-shot lead over Steven Alker in the third round of the Charles Schwab Championship. Harrington had four straight birdies on the back nine to reach 21 under in the tour finale. The run put him in such a good mood he bought drinks for fans who had been giving him a hard time on the No. 15 tee at Phoenix Country Club. The three-time PGA Tour major winner closed his bogey-free round with a two-putt birdie on No. 18, but he has some work to do if he’s going to overtake Alker for the season-long Schwab Cup. l DP WORLD TOUR: Rasmus Hojgaard and Thomas Detry shared the lead at the Nedbank Golf Challenge after a busy day when some players had to finish their second rounds and then come straight back out to play the third round. Rain and lightning had shortened the second day in Sun City, South Africa, leaving Ryan Fox and European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald in a share of the lead, although they had barely started their second rounds when players were called off because of the weather.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ D3 M2 college football Young throws three touchdown passes to lift Crimson Tide ALABAMA 30, MISSISSIPPI 24 BY C HRIS B URROWS oxford, miss. — Alabama Coach Nick Saban wondered which Crimson Tide team would show up in Mississippi. As it turned out, he didn’t need to be worried, especially about quarterback Bryce Young. Young threw three touchdowns passes and Alabama, ninth in the College Football Playoff rankings, scored on four consecutive possessions spanning the second and third quarters, rallying to beat No. 11 Mississippi, 30-24, on Saturday. “They have a lot of pride in what the standard of playing [at] Alabama is,” Saban said. “They were challenged to play to that standard, to take it personally, to understand they’re responsible for the identity that they create by how they play on the field.” Will Reichard kicked field goals of 23 and 49 yards in the fourth quarter to snap a 24-all tie. Alabama (8-2, 5-2 SEC) secured the win by forcing an incomplete pass into the Crimson Tide end zone in the final minute to extend its seven-game winning streak over the Rebels. “It was a tough night in a lot of ways, but it was a great night for us because I think we took a step in the right direction,” Saban said. “We didn’t get off to a great start, but the players just kept making one play at a time and at the end of the game that we needed to make.” Young finished 21 for 33 for 209 yards, including touchdown throws to Jermaine Burton, Cameron Latu and Ja’Courey Brooks. Alabama trailed 10-0 early and 17-14 at halftime. The Crimson Tide made efficient use of JUSTIN FORD/GETTY IMAGES Alabama tight end Cameron Latu catches a second-quarter touchdown pass Saturday against Mississippi. The Crimson Tide outscored the Rebels 16-7 in the second half. 317 yards of total offense and a defense that stopped three Rebels’ opportunities in the final quarter. “It’s a shame. We had the ball in our hands at the end of the game and the crowd was in it, but we didn’t get it done,” Mississippi Coach Lane Kiffin said. “They’ve got great players and great coaches, too, but it’s just a shame.” The Rebels (8-2, 4-2) were led by Quinshon Judkins, who had 135 yards on 25 carries and a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs. Judkins highlighted the game’s final drive with runs of 35 and 13 yards to get the Rebels to the Alabama 14-yard line before the Crimson Tide got the gameclinching stop. Jaxson Dart was 18-for-31 passing for 212 yards with a threeyard touchdown pass to Jonathan Mingo. The Rebels finished with 403 yards of total offense but finished 0 for 3 on fourth-down conversions, including both of the final two offensive series. Needing an impressive bounce-back performance, the Crimson Tide responded and remain in position for a major bowl game appearance, a 10-win regular season and a ranking in the top 10. Alabama was 4 for 4 in the red zone and had the edge in the kicking game with Reichard and punter James Burnip, who had a 44-yard average on four kicks. “Making it 17-14 at halftime was good,” said Saban, regarding a Crimson Tide touchdown with eight seconds before halftime, setting off a 20-0 spurt that spanned the middle quarters. “No one even talked about the score at halftime, which is how we wanted it to be.” Kiffin made a concentrated effort to seek out Young on the field during postgame to offer congratulations. Kiffin did not reveal what he shared privately with last year’s Heisman Trophy winner but said afterward: “Bryce Young put on that Superman cape and made plays at the end. He’s a special player.” The loss eliminated any hopes of the Rebels sharing an SEC West title, but they retain big incentives, including a prominent bowl game appearance, a high ranking in the poll and consecutive 10win regular seasons. For that to happen, the defense that gave up four scoring possessions in the second half must be tightened. — Associated Press No. 7 Tigers’ defense delivers a Jordan-like performance against Razorbacks LSU 13, ARKANSAS 10 BY E RIC W . B OLIN fayetteville, ark. — LSU Coach Brian Kelly told Harold Perkins Jr. he reminded him of Michael Jordan after the Tigers, seventh in the College Football Playoff rankings, defeated Arkansas, 13-10, on Saturday. The freshman linebacker, whose strip-sack of Arkansas quarterback Cade Fortin with 1:17 left clinched the win and kept LSU’s playoff hopes alive, had the flu before the teams kicked off, the coach said. When Kelly told Perkins that his effort against the Razorbacks reminded him of MJ against the Jazz in 1997, Kelly said the teenager responded, “Who’s MJ?” Perkins finished with two forced fumbles, four sacks and eight tackles. His teammate Mekhi Wingo pounced on the loose ball at the Arkansas 44 to clinch the victory for LSU (8-2, 6-1 SEC). LSU’s defense allowed 249 yards to Arkansas’ offense, which by game’s end was down to its third-string quarterback. The Razorbacks (5-5, 2-4) attempted to rally in the fourth quarter when Fortin entered in the third quarter to replace an ineffective Malik Hornsby. Fortin threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Matt Landers with 13:12 left to pull Arkansas within three. But LSU’s offense was little bit better, gaining 284 yards — more than 150 below its season average. Josh Williams ran for 122 of those yards and scored the Tigers’ only touchdown, a one-yarder, late in the third quarter to provide LSU a 10-point lead. Only one of the Tigers’ 13 series yielded more than 40 yards. “We are far from a finished product,” Kelly said. “I don’t think anybody in that locker room thinks we have arrived.” Arkansas sacked LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels seven times, limiting the SEC’s top rusher at the position to 10 yards on 19 carries. Daniels completed 8 of 15 passes for 86 yards and an interception. “I think the defense played so well that that gave us a chance. They kept us in it,” Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman said. “I thought when Landers got the long one that we were going to rally around that and it seemed like it was the same story. Just didn’t seem to find a way to be consistent.” LSU forced the Razorbacks’ hand by stifling Hornsby, who ran for 37 yards on 18 carries and finished 4-for-9 passing for 24 yards. Daniels found Kayshon Boutte for a 26-yard gain on a single pass one play ahead of Wil- liams’s touchdown with 5:25 left in the third quarter. The Razorbacks were without their usual starting quarterback, KJ Jefferson, announcing minutes before kickoff Jefferson would not play because of a shoulder injury. Fortin finished 8 for 13 for 92 yards with the score and the lost fumble. LSU can clinch the SEC West and a spot in the SEC championship with a victory in the season finale in two weeks against Texas A&M. “We’ve got a lot of work to do this journey, but we’re still finding ways to win football games,” Kelly said. The Razorbacks’ 249 yards are the fewest LSU has allowed an SEC opponent since Texas A&M had just 169 in 2019. LSU won the national championship that season. Arkansas is a victory shy of bowl eligibility. Bennett threw for three touchdowns as the Bulldogs clinched a spot in the SEC championship game. Rebels reach the red zone on their last possession before the Crimson Tide’s defense got the game-clinching stop. Ewers into a miserable night. rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown before leaving with a right leg injury late in the first half, C.J Stroud threw five touchdown passes, and the Buckeyes buried the Hoosiers.

He also threw for 132 yards and a score as UCF (8-2, 5-1) surpassed 400 yards of offense for the eighth time this season. Tulane (8-2, 5-1) pulled within a touchdown with 11:39 left when Michael Pratt hit Reggie Brown in the back of the end zone to cap a drive sustained by Pratt’s fourth-and-six conversion on a pass to Lawrence Keys. But the Knights responded with a 16-play, 75-yard scoring drive that consumed 8:07 and was kept alive by a fourth-down pass interference penalty on Tulane’s Jarius Monroe on running back Isaiah Bowser’s throw intended for Plumlee along the sideline.

Devonshire’s interception of Brennan Armstrong and 29-yard return gave the Panthers (6-4, 3-3 ACC) a 7-0 lead after just five seconds. After a touchback, Armstrong tried to throw deeper, but Williams intercepted and went 39 yards for the touchdown. “We thought they’d possibly come out and do what they did on that first play, and we had a great defense called for it,” Panthers Coach Pat Narduzzi said of Devonshire’s interception. “And, you know, I think it made Armstrong think a little bit, at least for the first half and maybe even the third quarter.” The Cavaliers (3-6, 1-6), who needed a victory to remain in contention for a bowl berth, trailed 28-0 by the end of the first quarter. Many in the sparse crowd that booed them as they left the field at halftime then seemingly also left on a sunny, warm fall afternoon. “Obviously, not results any of us want, not the start any of us wanted,” Virginia offensive coordinator Des Kitchings said. “We got a group of kids in there hurting, coaches are hurting because we’ve been making progress and today just took a step back with the start of that game.” Israel Abanikanda added to his nation-leading touchdown total with a one-yard run on Pitt’s first offensive possession, and Kedon Slovis hit Jared Wayne with a 31-yard scoring pass on the next, putting the Panthers ahead 28-0 with 2:33 left in the opening quarter. Ben Sauls kicked three secondhalf field goals, and the outcome was never in doubt as Pitt won for the sixth time in the past seven meetings with the Cavaliers. The Panthers outgained Virginia 397-144 and held the home team to minus-eight rushing yards. Armstrong, playing without his top three wide receivers for the second week in a row, hit Malachi Fields from nine yards for the Cavaliers’ lone score late in the third quarter. The Panthers not only hurt Armstrong with the interceptions but also kept Virginia’s leading rusher bottled up in the backfield. Armstrong was sacked eight times for minus-69 yards and had just a pair of runs totaling 23 yards. “I think the first two plays bothered him a lot. But, you know, our guys did a good job. We got a pretty good D-line, and the linebackers are doing their job,” Narduzzi said. Armstrong’s decision to return after a huge junior season was cause for celebration at Virginia. He threw for 4,449 yards last season with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. This season, a more balanced offense with less opportunity for freelancing has not gone as well. His touchdown pass was his seventh against 12 interceptions this season. — Associated Press l FLORIDA 38, SOUTH CAROLINA 6: Anthony Richard- son accounted for three touchdowns, Montrell Johnson Jr. ran for a career-high 161 yards, and the Gators (6-4, 3-4) steamrolled the Gamecocks (6-4, 3-4) in Gainesville, Fla. l AUBURN 13, TEXAS A&M 10: Jarquez Hunter and Tank Bigs- by ran for 121 yards apiece, and the Tigers (4-6, 2-5 SEC) held on to beat Aggies (3-7, 1-6) in Auburn, Ala.

There was a brief moment in the second quarter when Navy trailed 21-13 and looked poised to keep the contest close. Fullback Daba Fofana (133 rushing yards) had ripped off big runs on consecutive drives that led to touchdowns, including his own 36-yard score, and the defense had finally gotten a stop when Notre Dame kicker Blake Grupe missed a 45-yard field goal. That’s when things fell apart in front of an announced crowd of 62,124. Niumatalolo tried to get sneaky on the first play after the missed field goal, and disaster ensued. The play was a reverse to slotback Kai Puailoa-Rojas, who pulled up and threw downfield to quarterback Xavier Arline. The pass hung in the air long enough for Notre Dame cornerback Clarence Lewis to sprint over and pick it off. Pyne ran for an 11-yard touchdown three plays later. The nightmare of a first half was far from over. The Navy offense promptly went three and out, and Jack Kiser blocked the subsequent punt. It was the fifth straight game the Fighting Irish have blocked a punt and the seventh block of the season. Pyne threw his fourth touchdown pass of the half on the next play, a perfect 37-yard strike to Jayden Thomas. Notre Dame went into halftime with a 35-13 lead, having scored the last 14 points in 1:09 of game time. “It was a very bad sequence,” Niumatalolo said. “Probably got a little too greedy myself, calling the trick play. But I was going to come out swinging. In hindsight, probably should have just kind of ran the ball a little bit. Obviously that blocked punt hurt us too. But also we’ve got to make some stops.” Pyne completed 14 of 16 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns in just the first 30 minutes of the game. He finished with 269 yards and those four touchdowns. Arline made his second start after Tai Lavatai was lost for the season with a left knee injury in Navy’s overtime win against Temple on Oct. 29. Arline was forced to leave the game midway through the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury and had to be helped off the field. He was taken into the medical tent and replaced by senior Maasai Maynor. Niumatalolo didn’t have details on the injury after the game but hoped it wasn’t longterm. Arline finished with 59 rushing yards and a touchdown to go along with 57 passing yards and a score. Notre Dame took its foot off the gas a bit after halftime, but the Navy defense was also much more aggressive. The Irish didn’t score again as Navy tied a season high with five sacks and chipped away at the lead. The defense held the Fighting Irish to 12 total yards in the second half after giving up 323 in the first. “The one thing you know about Navy is they will never quit,” Notre Dame Coach Marcus Freeman said. “We had to match their urgency throughout the en- tirety of the game. We did in the first half. We did not have the urgency and execution that we needed to finish the game the way we wanted to. . . . Somehow, some way, we have to be better because of what happened in the second half.” Maynor threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Maquel Haywood with 1:21 left in the game. Navy attempted an onside kick, but Notre Dame recovered and ran out the clock. “I just feel like it speaks on our grit,” Maynor said about the second half. “Halftime I believe it was 35-13. Some teams would be like, okay, next game-type thing. But we kind of came into halftime, we were just thinking: ‘We are right where we need to be. We know that we have killed ourselves, so let’s go into the second half and let’s show them who we are.’ ” Linebacker John Marshall added, “Our offense was keeping us in it in the first half, and it was kind of our duty to do it the second half.” Blue Devils send Hokies to seventh straight defeat DUKE 24, VIRGINIA TECH 7 A SSOCIATED P RESS durham, n.c. — Riley Leonard threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as Duke surged past Virginia Tech, 24-7, on Saturday. It was the third straight win for the Blue Devils (7-3, 4-2 ACC), who are putting together their best season in years, and the seventh straight loss for the Hokies (2-8, 1-6), who are playing at their worst level in decades. Leonard was 19-for-31 passing for 262 yards and also carried the ball nine times for 48 yards. Jalon Calhoun was his favorite target with 94 yards on five catches. “We had a great game plan,” Leonard said. “We had to win our matchups, and that’s what it came down to. The offensive line gave me as much time as I needed in the pocket to deliver the ball, and our receivers were just out there making plays all day.” Grant Wells led Virginia Tech with 177 passing yards and a touchdown. “Obviously, we’re disappointed,” Hokies Coach Brent Pry said. “Didn’t play very well fundamentally and certainly didn’t play complimentary ball. I think we’re fighting and clawing to hang in there defensively. We’ve got to do more on the other side of the ball to have a chance.” After Duke opened with a threeand-out, Virginia Tech took the lead on its second offensive play of the game when Wells connected with Da’Wain Lofton on a 53-yard scoring strike. It was the second longest touchdown pass of the year for the Hokies. Then — starting with a 25-yard field goal from Todd Pelino — the Blue Devils put up 24 unanswered points, grabbing the lead and never letting go. The highlight of the scoring run was junior wideout Jontavis Robertson hauling in a six-yard pass for his first career touchdown. “We responded to a little bit of a slow start and then took control of the game,” Duke Coach Mike Elko said. “I thought defensively we played our best effort of the year, the way we controlled the line of scrimmage.” The Blue Devils’ win was their first against the Hokies in Durham since 1981. The series — which Virginia Tech leads 19-11 — goes back to 1937. “We talked about that,” Elko said of Duke’s long home losing streak against the Hokies. “And we continue to talk about breaking through expectations. You want to do that. Each win, we savor. Winning is precious in this sport.” Should Duke win out, it has a chance to get six ACC victories this season. The Blue Devils have done that only three times, most recently in 2013. Meanwhile, Pry’s first season in Blacksburg has been historically abysmal. The last time Virginia Tech lost seven consecutive games was 1951, when it played in the Southern Conference. And eight losses are the most the Hokies have had in a season since 1992, when they played in the Big East. By record, it’s the program’s worst season since it joined the ACC in 2004.

Penn State is one of Maryland’s nearest neighbors in the Big Ten, and the football programs share similar recruiting terrain, but to be true rivals, the games must be tightly contested. And Maryland can’t keep up with the Nittany Lions, with Saturday’s thrashing the latest blow in this lopsided series. The Terrapins were dominated all afternoon in their 30-0 loss at Beaver Stadium. Maryland, which has just three wins in 46 attempts against Penn State, has rarely been competitive against the Big Ten’s best programs. The Terps seized an opportunity to beat a struggling Penn State team two years ago, but that was an anomaly. Performances similar to this one — familiar to the fan base but deflating each time — have instead been the norm. Penn State commanded the line of scrimmage; Maryland couldn’t stop the run, and the Nittany Lions pressured quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa into an atrocious outing. No. 14 Penn State (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) racked up 413 offensive yards compared with Maryland’s 134, most of which (107) came in the second half with the game out of hand. The Terps suffered their first shutout since 2019 when Penn State imposed its will in a 59-0 victory. Searching for positive takeaways from this four-quarter drubbing would be a futile task. After a disappointing loss at Wisconsin last weekend, the Terps (6-4, 3-4) are mired in a losing streak for the first time this season — and their next test is against No. 2 Ohio State. The season finale against Rutgers could determine whether Maryland slumps to a winless November. Locksley said his team shouldn’t panic, “but it is time that we, starting with myself, take a deep look at everything we’re doing — on offense, on defense, on special teams — and find a way to get us back on the right track.” When asked what areas the their thing going right away, we’ve got to step up and play for them, too.” Just before halftime, the Terps mustered a stop that, in an ideal situation, could have given their offense a chance to score on a methodical, two-minute drive to close the quarter. But Maryland’s afternoon in State College was far from ideal and repeatedly unfolded as such. On this Penn State punt, Dante Trader Jr. picked up a personal foul for roughing the kicker, gifting the Nittany Lions another opportunity. Despite an unsportsmanlike conduct call on Penn State Coach James Franklin (he punished himself with 15 pushups on the sideline), the hosts grabbed three points with a 50-yard field goal. After a Maryland possession stalled quickly, Penn State got the ball again and this time drove 48 yards to kick another field goal. By halftime, Maryland’s offense had amassed just 27 yards. The game had slipped out of reach. Penn State had forcefully proved it was the better team. “It goes back to execution,” Locksley said of the offensive issues. “When you say that as a coach, automatically you think players, but no, it’s not just players. It’s everybody that’s involved with our offense, and I’m involved on a daily basis with it.” For Maryland, this isn’t a Penn State problem. The trouble almost always resurfaces when the Terps play a top-tier opponent. Since it joined the Big Ten in 2014, Maryland is 3-21 against the powers in its division — Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State. The losses have been decided by an average of 33 points, a stark reminder of the gap the Terps have yet to close. The Terps still haven’t beaten a ranked Big Ten team as a member. Despite those high-profile letdowns that loom over the program, the Terps appeared to take a step forward this season. Maryland had strong outings early in the fall and managed to play a close game against still-undefeated Michigan. But the team regressed toward the familiar. The Terps were overmatched, and their weaknesses gave Penn State another opportunity to showcase its dominance over a regional foe. 6 0 7 0 0 — 13 7 — 10 LSU: FG Ramos 38, 9:28.

All three ended with failed attempts to convert on fourth down. Tagovailoa was sacked seven times, including twice by Chop Robinson, once a touted freshman for the Terps who is a sophomore for the Nittany Lions and was a captain for this game. Tagovailoa, usually the engine of the offense, finished with 74 passing yards, a new low in his Maryland career after setting his previous low (77) in his last outing in Madison, and he completed just 11 of 22 passes. “It takes not just our quarterback to play great,” Locksley said. “It takes the players around him. It takes calling things that we can get executed.” Backup quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. took the reins midway through the fourth quarter. After a Penn State turnover, the offense tried to string together a positive series to avoid the shutout, but Edwards came up short on fourth down and limped off the field. The Nittany Lions, meanwhile, averaged 5.7 yards per play. Twice on fourth and short, freshman running back Nicholas Singleton sprung free for long touchdown runs. Singleton finished with a game-high 122 rushing yards, and fellow freshman Kaytron Allen added 73. Quarterback Sean Clifford (12 for 23, 139 yards) didn’t need to do much. Penn State’s dominance in the trenches was enough. The Terps’ deficiencies were obvious early. They accumulated minus-15 yards through three possessions as Penn State’s pressure consistently bottled up Tagovailoa. The defense offered a blip of positivity by forcing a three and out early in the second quarter — only to be followed by an offensive drive that included a rush for a loss of four, a sack for a loss of 11, another sack for a loss of two and then a punt. “We were on the field for a lot [of time],” defensive back Beau Brade said. “If the offense can’t get LSU: J.Williams 1 run (Ramos kick), 5:25.

D6 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST SU . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 NFL week 10 Should the slumping Packers bench Rodgers? The idea isn’t as crazy as it sounds. It once would have sounded ridiculous — and perhaps even JASON blasphemous, at LA CANFORA least to Green Bay Packers fans — to make a case for why Aaron Rodgers should step aside this season, even temporarily, for understudy Jordan Love, barring an injury. But now some NFL executives are wondering whether that outcome might be logical if not necessary given the arc of this bleak Packers season and the continued downward spiral of a quarterback merely months removed from capping a second straight MVP campaign. Undoubtedly, the idea will come off as crazy to many given Rodgers’s résumé, how much Green Bay just spent to secure his services through at least 2023 and how shaky Love has looked when actually granted an opportunity to play. Still, I would by no means rule it out. “It doesn’t sound crazy to me at all,” one NFL general manager said this week after watching film of the Packers’ backward loss to the Detroit Lions. (He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not at liberty to discuss other teams’ personnel). “I think that’s where it’s headed. They’re stuck with Rodgers no matter what, but you need to know what you have in Love, too. Especially now. Was he worth the first-round pick? What could you get for him if he does play well? There’s only one way to find out.” It would have sounded just as preposterous before this season to suggest Green Bay would be 3-6 at this point, especially considering expectations about how shallow the NFC would be. But Green Bay was shut down by a broken Lions defense in Week 9, with Rodgers’s quarterback’s rating falling below 90. And he appears no longer able to function in the red zone, where his genius has always been beyond reproach. Rodgers has been the 20th-rated passer in the NFL during the team’s 0-5 slide. His athleticism could give the Packers a boost — or at least a different voice in the huddle from the one that has been quick to attempt to absolve himself of all blame despite poor results. With four games remaining after that bye, wouldn’t it be something for a Packers brass that took such repeated beatings from the quarterback to have him take a seat for the prospect whose selection set off this soap opera in the first place? Far crazier things have happened in the NFL. Just this week, in fact. On the NFL SETH WENIG/ASSOCIATED PRESS Green Bay has stuck with Aaron Rodgers, left, despite using a first-round pick on Jordan Love. immobility is an issue. And he is averaging just 6.15 yards per pass in that stretch, ranking 27th in the league, despite his big arm. He faces a daunting upcoming task: the Cowboys’ vaunted defense Sunday, a surging Titans team (on a 5-1 run while playing stifling defense), the undefeated Eagles and then a suddenly improved Bears team before a Week 14 bye. Assume the Packers still will be a realistic playoff squad by then at your own risk. Few also would have suggested before the season that Green Bay’s offensive line would look this desperate for a reboot, that Rodgers would be absorbing this many big hits or that a Packers team on cruise control to 13 or more wins in the first three seasons under Matt LaFleur would look so rudderless so deep into this season. Still, why bench such an accomplished quarterback making more than $50 million in favor of a backup the franchise has been keen to keep on the sidelines for 21/2 years since it shockingly moved up to select him in the first round when Rodgers was still at the height of his prowess? Well, from a general manager’s perspective, consider how bereft of talent this offense is outside the running back position, how much repair the offensive line merits, how many issues there are on defense and how the team will have to decide whether to pick up Love’s fifthyear option, which could have major ramifications on his trade market as well. This is not a particularly deep roster; the team’s return from the ill-fated trade of elite wide receiver Davante Adams was already expunged in the 2022 draft, and Rodgers’s megadeal was not the least bit teamfriendly. They are stuck with him through at least next season, in the opinion of every general manager and executive with whom I have regularly discussed this situation. And maybe, just maybe, Love’s Colts drama has impact The biggest winner in the entire Jeff Saturday charade in Indianapolis very well might be someone who isn’t even in the league, let alone on anyone’s coaching staff. In the immediate aftermath of the Colts’ stunning announcement that Saturday would replace Frank Reich as their coach, many league executives thought of a different team in the AFC South: the Houston Texans. For two years, the Texans have come close to hiring former quarterback Josh McCown as their coach; by now it is an open secret how highly owner Cal McNair and General Manager Nick Caserio think of him and how infatuated they have been by his coaching prospects. Several general managers who have had McCown on their rosters have vowed to me for years that he had head coaching stuff and would excel in that job, and McCown has been coaching his sons through their high school careers in Texas. The buzz about him has only grown, and after years of conversations with the Texans, his hiring next year would be far less startling given what Colts owner Jim Irsay just did midseason. “This makes it much less difficult to sell McCown now,” said one GM, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely discuss another front office. The Texans are hardly above blowing out a caretaker coach after one year; they just did it with David Culley a year ago. Unlike with Saturday, the Texans could contend that someone else might try to grab McCown. They have punted on actually trying to find their quarterback of the future, rolling with the limited Davis Mills instead, but that will change in this next draft. It’s fair to wonder, given their past pursuits of McCown, if he is now more attractive than ever as a quarterback-guru-slash-head coach, with the Texans the frontrunners to land the first overall pick in next year’s draft. Houston is the league’s only team without at least two victories heading into Week 10, with the third-worst scoring margin in the NFL. Did the franchise set it up that way as part of a long-term tank? Of course. But you have to bottom out somewhere. 2023 QB class overhyped? The idea that the 2023 draft class will be loaded with potential franchise quarterbacks was seemingly inescapable early in this college football season. It may prove to be hyperbolic. Certainly, it stacks up better than the 2022 group at this time a year ago, but a longtime executive and scout whose private evaluations of this position have proved astute over the years is pumping the breaks on the optimism. He doesn’t see four or five quarterbacks truly worthy of first-round grades, the way some evaluators would have you think, and believes teams selling their fans that all will be solved come April may be peddling some false hope. “The hype about this class has gotten out of control,” said the executive, whose team is in the market for a quarterback and who cannot speak freely about them ahead of the draft. “This isn’t the once-in-a-generation class they want you to believe it is. I’ve seen them all, and you can get excited about some of them, but they’re going to need time. They aren’t coming in and saving your franchise from Day One.” NOTES Players association calls for immediate change of turf fields in six stadiums A SSOCIATED P RESS The NFL Players Association is calling on six venues to change their current playing surfaces, saying the turf in those stadiums results in “statistically higher ingame injury rates” involving noncontact and lower-extremity injuries. NFLPA President JC Tretter said in a statement Saturday the league should ban “slit film” playing surfaces, which are used by the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints and New York Jets and Giants. “The NFL and its experts have agreed with this data and acknowledge that the slit film field is less safe,” Tretter said. “Player leadership wrote a letter to the NFL this week demanding the immediate removal of these fields and a ban on them going forward, both in stadiums and for practice fields. The NFL has not only refused to mandate this change immediately, but they have also refused to commit to mandating a change away from slit film in the future at all.” Jeff Miller, the executive vice president of communications, public affairs & policy for the NFL, disputed the NFLPA’s conclusions. “As the NFLPA knows from the meeting of our Joint Field Surface Safety & Performance Committee earlier this month, there was no difference between the number of injuries on synthetic surfaces versus grass,” Miller said in an emailed statement. Miller said joint experts for the league and NFLPA did not recommend any changes to surfaces at the committee meeting but agreed more study is needed. l STEELERS: Pittsburgh activated outside linebacker T.J. Watt from injured reserve, clearing the way for him to return Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Watt hasn’t played since he tore his left pectoral muscle in Week 1 against Cincinnati. The 2021 NFL defensive player of the year also underwent minor knee surgery during his stay on IR. Pittsburgh ruled out safety Minkah Fitzpatrick for the game against the Saints with an appendix issue. Damontae Kazee, who came off IR on Wednesday, could fill in for Fitzpatrick. The Steelers also placed recently acquired cornerback William Jackson III on IR with a back injury. l TITANS: Tennessee activated its first players off IR, bringing back rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks and cornerback Elijah Molden and sidelining veteran linebacker Zach Cunningham and defensive back Josh Thompson. Burks hurt his left toe and was carted off the field in a win at the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 2. Molden was placed on IR on Sept. 9. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill is a game-time decision for Sunday against the Denver Broncos and could start after he missed the past two games with a sprained right ankle. l CHARGERS: Los Angeles signed running back Larry Rountree III to its active roster and elevated offensive tackle Foster Sarell and kicker Cameron Dicker from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. Sarell or Storm Norton could get the start at right tackle if Trey Pipkins is unable to go. l MISC.: The NFL plans to play more regular season games in Germany, possibly sooner than expected. Commissioner Roger Goodell told a fan forum in Munich that the NFL will stage “at least” four games in Germany through 2025. The current agreement includes Sunday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks at Allianz Arena plus an annual game over the next three seasons, with Munich and Frankfurt each hosting twice. TO DA Y ’S GA MES Seahawks (6-3) vs. Buccaneers (4-5) in Munich, 9:30 a.m., NFL Network » Can Geno Smith and a smart, young Seattle team keep it going against Tom Brady, who recaptured some magic late in a comeback win against the Rams last Sunday? Improbably, Tampa Bay is now atop the NFC South, and the Seahawks lead the NFC West. A beleaguered Bucs defense will have to devise a way to stop Kenneth Walker III, who has rushed for 512 yards and seven touchdowns in his past five games. Vikings (7-1) at Bills (6-2), 1 p.m., WTTG-5, WBFF-45 » Minnesota has won six in a row by an average of 5.6 points. Opponents often have more rushing and passing yards, and the opposing quarterback often has a higher rating than Kirk “You Like That” Cousins. But the Vikings show up in the fourth quarter, outscoring opponents 70-37. Lions (2-6) at Bears (3-6), 1 p.m. » It was an attention-getting performance, although it probably doesn’t bode well for Justin Fields’s health in the long run. Chicago’s quarterback had 178 yards rushing Sunday against Miami, the most by a quarterback in a regular season game in the Super Bowl era, breaking the record of 173 set by Michael Vick in 2002. Fields also was the first player since at least 1950 with 150-plus rushing yards and three-plus passing touchdowns in a game. Jaguars (3-6) at Chiefs (6-2), 1 p.m. » Imagine . . . 68 passes. That’s how many Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes attempted against Tennessee last Sunday, coming within two of the all-time single-game mark set by New England’s Drew Bledsoe in 1994. Mahomes completed 43 of those attempts, two shy of Bledsoe’s mark (which was tied by Jared Goff in 2019). According to NFL Research, Mahomes became the first player in the Super Bowl era with at least 400 yards and a touchdown passing and 60 yards and a touchdown rushing in the same game. Browns (3-5) at Dolphins (6-3), 1 p.m., WJZ-13 » Tyreek Hill hasn’t lost a step in his transition from Mahomes and the Chiefs to Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has 76 receptions for 1,104 yards — the most by a player in his first nine games with a team. Texans (1-6-1) at Giants (6-2), 1 p.m., WUSA-9 » New York headed into its bye week with a loss in which the offense sputtered against Seattle. Saquon Barkley had only 53 yards rushing, with one touchdown, on 20 carries. Barkley has a good chance to get back on track against a Houston defense that is allowing a league-worst 180.6 rushing yards per game. Saints (3-6) at Steelers (2-6), 1 p.m. » In the battle of sputtering offenses, New Orleans may consider whether it’s time to switch from Andy Dalton back to Jameis Winston. Pittsburgh managed to convert just 1 of 12 third-down attempts during its shellacking by Philadelphia before its bye week. Broncos (3-5) at Titans (5-3), 1 p.m. » Beware Derrick Henry in the wildcat formation. His four-yard touchdown run last Sunday against Kansas City came off a direct snap out of the formation, and he leads the league in touchdown runs (five) and touchdown passes (two) out of the wildcat (including playoff appearances) since entering the league in 2016. Colts (3-5-1) at Raiders (2-6), 4:05 p.m. » The Raiders have lost after losing a lead of 17 or more points three times this season, tying the NFL record held by the 2020 Chargers and 2003 Falcons. Now they get a bit of a break in that they face a team suddenly coached by Jeff Saturday, the Colts’ former center who has zero experience coaching at the NFL or college level. He is expected to have 30-year-old passing game specialist/ assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier calling the plays on offense. AFC EAST Cowboys (6-2) at Packers (3-6), 4:25 p.m., WTTG-5, WBFF-45 » ESPN reported that Green Bay unsuccessfully pursued trades for Chase Claypool and Darren Waller in an effort to provide more targets for Aaron Rodgers, who could use some. Some of the fault for throwing three interceptions inside the 25 in Sunday’s loss to Detroit rests with him, though. Facing a Dallas defense coming off a bye week and led by former Packers coach Mike McCarthy is a tall order for this Packers team, even at Lambeau Field. Cardinals (3-6) at Rams (3-5), 4:25 p.m. » There are Super Bowl hangovers, and then there is what Los Angeles is experiencing. The Rams couldn’t generate enough first downs in a three-point loss to Tampa Bay this past week, and for the seventh time this season, Los Angeles was held to 24 or fewer points. It marked the fifth time the team couldn’t even score 15 points. Chargers (5-3) at 49ers (4-4), 8:20 p.m., WRC-4, WBAL-11 » When last seen before their bye week, the 49ers put their new Swiss Army knife, Christian McCaffrey, on full display against the Rams. He joined LaDainian Tomlinson (in 2005) and Walter Payton (in 1979) as the only running backs with a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in a game since the 1970 merger. Not that Los Angeles running back Austin Ekeler is any slouch — he has 10 career games with one-plus rushing and one-plus receiving touchdown. That ties him with the Saints’ Alvin Kamara and McCaffrey for the most in a player’s first six seasons since 1950. — Cindy Boren NFC W L T PCT. PF PA SOUTH W L T PCT. PF PA NORTH W L T PCT.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ D7 SU nfl week 10 ANALYSIS McDaniels’s rocky start has echoes of his earlier flameout BY D ES B IELER In the wake of a coaching change in Indianapolis, the Las Vegas Raiders’ matchup Sunday with the Colts reverberates with the recent past. For his part, first-year Las Vegas coach Josh McDaniels might just be hoping that a poor outcome doesn’t hasten a historical parallel he would rather avoid. With the Raiders off to a 2-6 start amid some ominous grumbles by prominent players, speculation has begun about the job security of McDaniels, whose previous stint as an NFL head coach quickly went sour. A loss this week to the visiting Colts, who are riding a three-game losing streak marked by turmoil, would raise more questions about whether the former New England Patriots offensive coordinator has learned how to successfully lead a team. Given that Indianapolis let go of well-regarded coach Frank Reich on Monday and replaced him with retired ex-Colts standout Jeff Saturday — whose only previous coaching experience has come at the high school level — Las Vegas could feel good about its chances. Then again, the Raiders just lost to a pair of teams that came into those games with a cumulative record of 4-11. For the moment, the 46-yearold McDaniels might be more concerned about his own team than the next one on his schedule. Following last week’s 27-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, in which the Raiders squandered a 17-0 lead, quarterback Derek Carr offered cryptic comments that did not appear to reflect well upon his coach. “There’s a lot I want to say, but if I’m honest, I don’t need to say it here,” Carr told reporters. “There’s things that will be said. There are things that need to be addressed and all those things. But I think as a whole, the urgency part of it, after 30 minutes of football, we have to learn that the game is not over. Thursday. “I’m just going out there and trying to win games for this team. And if they want to put Carson back in, great. I’ll be the best backup I can be to him and help him in any way I can. But for me right now, I just go in there and try to do the best I can.” Commanders Coach Ron Rivera may have to decide on a quarterback as soon as the day after his team’s trip to Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. This week at practice, Wentz did not wear a brace or splint on his right hand, and on Saturday, Rivera said, he threw passes for the first time. But when a reporter asked Rivera what he would do when Wentz returns, the coach responded: “You’re most certainly ahead of yourself. “I feel like I’ve been in this situation a lot, where new coaches or this or that, and you have to teach the new guys, like, this is how we do it and this is the mentality,” continued the 31-year-old Carr, who has played under four coaches and two interim coaches in his nine years with the Raiders. “That gets tiring, but at the same time, it’s my job.” At his introductory news conference in January, McDaniels acknowledged he had had some learning to do following the debacle that was his first go-round in 2009-10 with the Denver Broncos. Then the youngest head coach in the NFL, McDaniels quickly alienated players, fans and, before much longer, his bosses in Denver with a perceived combination of arrogance, immaturity I told you guys, we’ll play the game and then I’ll decide when it’s time to.” On Monday, Heinicke will look to bounce back from a poor performance in last week’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He completed 15 of 28 passes for 149 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the 20-17 defeat, though it could have been worse had a field official not knocked down a Vikings defender to aid a 49-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Samuel. While the Commanders’ offense has struggled with both quarterbacks under center — scoring 1.4 points per drive with Wentz and 1.7 with Heinicke per the website TruMedia, both rates in the bottom quarter of the NFL — Heinicke has given the team a spark with his fiery, mobile play. JERRY BREWER An exalted quarterback isn’t a cure-all anymore BREWER FROM D1 Finally, defenses have made sustainable adjustments to function against offenses challenging them to make plays in space. As Week 10 begins, scoring is down in the NFL, and this could end up being the lowest-scoring NFL season in at least 10 years. To catch up, defenses aren’t creating something new as much as they are reimagining the old. Two-high safety schemes are popular again to dissuade quarterbacks from throwing deep. There are more speedy, rangy, position-fluid athletes, and defensive coordinators are more flexible about accentuating their skills. The evolution of talent sways the style of play, but when coaches resist change, their teams flounder. When they abandon stubbornness, the game morphs. The first nine weeks of this season tottered into parity. It hasn’t all been fun to watch, and ning drive in Week 8 at the Indianapolis Colts — to his ability to rebound from his worse games. “He’ll go give everything he’s got on Monday, and he won’t let the other stuff affect him,” Turner said. “We always have those conversations, ‘Hey man, just go play and be you. You’re not going to always make the right decision. You’re always not going to make the right throws, but if you try to overthink it, you’re not going to make any plays either.’ So he’ll bounce back.” When asked whether he viewed Monday night as a deciding factor in the quarterback battle, Turner said, “You always look at everything.” “Ultimately, that’ll be Coach [Rivera]’s decision,” Turner added. “We’ll have conversations about it. We’ve got to wait and see when Carson is healthy, so a lot of that’s going to be up to the trainers before we even put in that situation. Right now, we’re really just focused on getting Taylor ready.” one of them closer to the line of scrimmage for run support. Regardless of the blocking scheme, power running games have a chance again. It’s about time the game shifted. Last week, after Buffalo suffered a 20-17 loss to the New York Jets, Allen blamed himself for a two-interception, five-sack performance and declared, “It’s tough to win in this league when you’re playing a good team and your quarterback plays like s---.” Then we learned of his elbow injury, which could cost him some game time. It could derail the season for Buffalo, which has the highest ceiling of any team. Or like Mahomes’s dislocated kneecap during Kansas City’s 2019 championship season, it could be necessary adversity that helps to create Super Bowl alignment for the Bills. In a season that keeps presenting obstacles for quarterbacks, it’s better for Allen to deal with trouble now. For as good as the Bills are, they depend heavily on the quarterback’s heroics. Even if he can play through the elbow pain, this situation will ask more of the Bills, and if they handle it properly, they might acquire the key to surviving this wacky year of transition: more options for the playoffs. RUSTY COSTANZA/ASSOCIATED PRESS Josh McDaniels is 2-6 and has frustrated stars in his first season as the Raiders’ coach, harking back to his failed stint with Denver. and a lack of interpersonal skills, not to mention some questionable personnel moves. After trading away a talented young quarterback in Jay Cutler and replacing him with Kyle Orton, followed by a simmering feud with star wide receiver Brandon Marshall, McDaniels got off to a 6-0 start in his first season before the bottom fell out. He went 5-17 the rest of the way in Denver, with the last straw appearing to be a Spygate-like videotaping scandal that earned McDaniels and the team separate fines from the league. He was fired by the Broncos with four games left in the 2010 season. “When I went to Denver, I knew a little bit of football,” McDaniels said in January. “I didn’t really know people and how important that aspect of this process and maintaining the cul- ture and building the team was. And I failed, and I didn’t succeed at it. “Looking at that experience has been one of the best things in my life in terms of my overall growth as a person, as a coach. What do I need to do different? How do I need to handle my role if I have another opportunity and do better at it? I feel like that’s really an area that I’ve tried to grow in.” After he was fired, McDaniels returned to the Patriots, where he remained until he accepted the job with Las Vegas. Actually, it appeared in 2018 that he accepted a job with Indianapolis, which went so far as to announce his agreement to coach the Colts. But McDaniels backed out later that evening, and after it had a few days to regroup, Indianapolis hired As Wentz nears return, Heinicke keeps his focus COMMANDERS FROM D1 Reich. Fast-forward four years, and McDaniels might have learned how to get along better with his players, but he isn’t necessarily on the same page with all of them to judge from remarks made by Las Vegas wide receiver Davante Adams after the loss to the Jaguars. Adams went off in the first half for 146 yards and two touchdowns on nine catches, helping his team build a big lead, but he was held to just one catch for zero yards in a second half that saw Jacksonville storm back to end a five-game losing streak. “There’s no reason why we should be losing games like this, and it’s frustrating,” Adams said (via ESPN). “If we played for a [expletive] team, then it’s one thing. But that’s not what it is.” “The way we were attacking in the first half was working to a certain extent,” the five-time Pro Bowl selection added. “I feel like we got away from that and started playing the game a little different, and that’s not the way we’ve got to do it. . . . If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” McDaniels addressed Adams’s comments Tuesday, telling reporters, “I know what he meant when he said that, and I don’t take any of those things personally.” Remarkably, the loss to the Jaguars represented the third time in eight games under McDaniels that Las Vegas lost after building a lead of at least 17 points. That had happened only five times in franchise history before this season (per CBS Sports). Whatever the reason, the collapse against the Jaguars inspired sharp criticism from, among others, the man now charged with coaching against Las Vegas this week. “Raiders look horrible,” Saturday, then an ESPN analyst, tweeted as Las Vegas faded in the second half. The Raiders’ most obvious issue lies on defense, which is not McDaniels’s area of expertise. They are allowing 25.1 points per game, sixth worst in the NFL. But the 22.9 points being scored by their offense are good for just a tie for 14th in the league. That’s not much more than the 2021 squad averaged under disgraced former coach Jon Gruden and interim coach Rich Bisaccia. Those Raiders went 10-7 and made the playoffs. “I trust our leadership. I trust our captains. I trust our locker room,” McDaniels said Monday. “And they don’t have to feel good about losing. People ask me, ‘Are you concerned with them?’ No, I’m not concerned with them. They should be p----- off. We all are. Losing sucks.” McDaniels has only just arrived in Las Vegas, but if he doesn’t find a way to reverse the Raiders’ trend — starting with a win over the reeling Colts — he may find history repeating itself in a quick exit. many perception-building prime time games have been atrocious. But if the game is equalizing, it ultimately will be a good thing. And for all the low quality of the regular season, a potential playoff field full of mercurial teams could make for riveting drama. It feels like a season in which peaking at the right time will be more important than ever. But in determining which teams to trust, don’t default to overanalyzing quarterback play. The group hugging the Lombardi Trophy is often the most balanced team featuring a quarterback who ties it all together. That’s different from the savior quarterback. That guy almost never wins, and he is especially vulnerable this season, when defenses are better equipped to confuse signal callers, limit their efficiency and make their coaches regret piling too much responsibility on them. This is the NFL’s diabolical dissonance: To build a consistent It has been apparent to fans in the stands and Eagles players on tape as they studied the Commanders this week. “The biggest thing is that they are playing with a little more juice,” Eagles linebacker Haason Reddick told NJ.com. “Since Heinicke has been back there, they’ve just been a little bit more energetic.” The offense can translate en- ergy to production if it stops absorbing negative plays. Heinicke said those setbacks, such as batted passes or sacks, killed good drives last week, and he seemed a little frustrated because “this is kind of a weekly deal.” Since Heinicke took over, Washington has had the secondbest average distance to convert third downs in the NFL (5.6 yards), but it has converted them at the fifth-worst rate (31.6 percent). “We’ve just got to either convert third downs or stop hurting ourselves,” Heinicke said. “It’s one of those two things. So I think if we just keep working on that, really honing on that and practice and get better at those things, we can put up some more points.” Offensive coordinator Scott Turner said he didn’t expect Heinicke to be fazed by a potential quarterback switch. He likened Heinicke’s mental toughness to move on after negative plays — as he did by following an interception with a game-win- winner, you need a great quarterback. But great quarterbacks seldom lead you to the promised land during their best seasons. A quarterback has won 14 of the past 15 regular season MVP awards, with only running back Adrian Peterson disrupting the dominance in 2012. But none of those MVPs won the Super Bowl. In fact, the MVP hasn’t led his team to a championship since Kurt Warner did it during the 1999 season. Brady has seven rings and three league MVPs, but he never pulled off the double. Peyton Manning won two rings and five MVPs, but he couldn’t do it, either. Rodgers is a four-time MVP, but the Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl with him during the 2010 season, when they entered the playoffs as the sixth seed in the NFC. Patrick Mahomes didn’t lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a title until a year after his mind-boggling 5,097-yard, 50-touchdown season as a first-time starter in 2018. Lamar Jackson couldn’t do it in 2019 despite putting up video game numbers as a passer and runner. During MVP seasons, quarterbacks often carry their teams to stellar records that don’t reflect their ability to adapt in the playoffs. It’s a given that aspiring championship teams need star-level quarterback performance. Trent Dilfer staying out of the Baltimore Ravens’ way is an aberration, and it’s more than two decades old. Philadelphia watched backup quarterback Nick Foles acquire superpowers during its Super Bowl run five years ago, but that’s also not repeatable. The most reasonable path is to have a versatile team capable of winning in multiple ways — paired with a quarterback who amplifies the entire roster. The Philadelphia Eagles, who are underrated for an 8-0 team, look the part. Their offense and defense are among the top three in the NFL. With Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen working through an elbow injury, Hurts might build an even stronger MVP case now, and while that wouldn’t bode well for the Philadelphia’s championship hopes, that streak must end eventually. When it does end, it probably will happen with a player such as Hurts, who manages to be the Eagles’ most essential player without having to be their everything. They can win when he struggles. Miles Sanders is a solid running back. The acquisition of wide receiver A.J. Brown has transformed the passing game, but tight end Dallas Goedert and receiver DeVonta Smith are terrific complements. The Eagles don’t have sufficient depth beyond those three targets, making health even more important. But their greatest concern should be their run defense — their one obvious weakness — which has yielded 5.2 yards per carry, 29th out of 32 teams. At times, the Eagles have been so dominant that it can be hard to discern whether the run defense is a statistical weakness or a legitimate fatal flaw. The Eagles have won half of their games by at least 12 points, and the Bills (6-2) are the only team with a better point differential. But it’s something to monitor during a season in which running the football is experiencing a renaissance. Fourteen teams, nearly half the league, are averaging at least 120 rushing yards per game. Five years ago, just eight teams reached that standard over the entire season. Big, run-stuffing defensive linemen aren’t as abundant as they used to be. There are also more opportunities to run because defenses are keeping both safeties deep rather than putting JONATHAN NEWTON/THE WASHINGTON POST “Honestly, I don’t think about it,” Taylor Heinicke said about the possibility of being replaced as the Commanders’ quarterback.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ D9 SU soccer ROUNDUP Victory — and Manchester City’s loss — keeps Gunners on top of EPL at break ARSENAL 2, WOLVERHAMPTON 0 A SSOCIATED P RESS Arsenal will head into the World Cup break with a fivepoint lead over Manchester City in the English Premier League after Martin Odegaard’s double clinched a 2-0 win at Wolverhampton on Saturday. The captain’s goals in the 55th and 75th minutes showed City, which lost, 2-1, to Brentford earlier in the day, that its crown is under threat. Mikel Arteta’s team is a genuine contender, grinding out a 12th victory in 14 matches with a performance that demonstrated its steel and composure. Wolves will be in last place at Christmas — league play resumes Dec. 26 — but held its own for long spells . City’s surprise loss gave Arsenal the chance to push further clear, but the visitors were initially frustrated. Gabriel Jesus drilled home a shot but was offside, and goalkeeper Jose Sa hurriedly turned Bukayo Saka’s deflected cross over. The Gunners dominated the ball, but despite its territorial dominance, Arsenal struggled to create clear openings — a credit to Wolves. . . . Ivan Toney issued the perfect response to being omitted from England’s World Cup squad by scoring both goals in Brentford’s shocking 2-1 win at Manchester City. . . . Joe Willock’s curling shot from outside the area in the 67th minute for Newcastle condemned visiting Chelsea to its third loss in a row. . . . Darwin Nunez signed off for the World Cup in style by scoring twice in Liverpool’s 3-1 home win NIGEL FRENCH/ASSOCIATED PRESS Martin Odegaard, center, scored twice for Arsenal, which will have a five-point lead in the Premier League when play resumes. against Southampton. . . . In other matches, Rodrigo Bentancur struck twice late as host Tottenham came back from behind three times to beat Leeds, 4-3, in London; Nottingham Forest escaped last place with a 1-0 win over visiting Crystal Palace; Leicester won at West Ham, 2-0; and host Bournemouth piled the pressure on Everton Manager Frank Lampard with a 3-0 win. In Leicester’s win, James Maddison was injured two days after he earned a surprise England call-up for the World Cup, jeopardizing his chances of going to Qatar. Maddison, however, played down the right hamstring problem that forced him off the field soon after he opened the scoring for Leicester. l ITALY: Goals from Victor Osimhen, Piotr Zielinski and Eljif Elmas propelled host Napoli past Udinese, 3-2, for its 11th straight league victory to open up an 11-point gap on its closest pursuers in the Serie A race, Lazio and AC Milan. . . . Sampdoria fans loudly jeered their team and continued protests at the stadium after the game following a fourth straight defeat, 2-0 to Lecce, left the club mired in the bottom three amid its worst start to the season. . . . Pulisic was born to be ‘Captain America’ PULISIC FROM D1 So yeah, they have observations, even beyond their volunteered raves for the unobtrusive turns of parenting that holler from the Pulisic bio on a planet rife with crummy sports parenting. “Just some of his mannerisms,” Debbie Fine (George Mason 198689) said, can transport her to “when Kelley would attack out of the back” because of “just the way he moves, his stride.” They have the chops to know the absurd rarity of what happened with a George Mason offspring lodged at a gigantic Chelsea. “It’s amazing particularly when you understand that to reach the success he’s reaching, it’s not ‘difficult,’ ” Martin Dunphy (George Mason 1986-89) said. “It’s just almost impossibly difficult.” They have a hunch that old George Mason had a good root in the most coveted American player to date even if he didn’t bother being born until 1998. “They had Gordon Bradley, from the U.K.; he was the men’s soccer coach,” Stephanie Hylan Recupero (George Mason 1987-90) said. “He was from Europe. He had coached Pelé. Think about what he brought to George Mason University. Coming from Europe. Having coached at a high level and some of the best players in the world. Think about how high he set the bar. So that’s what Mark Pulisic was exposed to.” And coach Hank Leung’s smashing women’s program, “that’s what I stepped into. I stepped into a culture of winners, right? And when I say I did, Kelley did, too.” That’s Kelley Harlow (198992), later known as Pulisic, later known as Mom. They have a long raft of memories — of Pulisic in the backyard kicking, in the driveway shooting, at the golf course chipping, being the tiniest sprite on the team yet charging, being in the unforgiving academy of Dortmund in Germany as a teen, overcoming. That’s how it goes with a groomsman from the Pulisic wedding, Bob Lilley (George Mason 198487), who also happens to have played and coached with Mark Pulisic (1986-89). As he noticed along the way, “A lot of players went over to Italy or Portugal or one of these countries, and I saw a lot of kids that were in their national team’s setup go over and chase the dream in Europe. And come back having failed. You know what I’m saying? And in some cases those players are never the same. And I think that’s happened to a lot of players: They go over there, and they’re not really ready for it.” That’s the normal story, right? “Absolutely. And it’s a very high percentage.” Now they have a 24-year-old Pulisic coming up on their TVs from Qatar, four years after the American non-qualification Hylan calls “heartbreaking” and Lilley calls “devastating.” They have that coming even as they have their memories of when playing soccer was sort of an eccentric pursuit in the American construct, of when Lilley and Mark Pulisic shared a house with some other players, of when Fine, well: JULIO CORTEZ/ASSOCIATED PRESS Friends say Mark Pulisic’s son Christian inherited the attacking form that has made him an international star from his mother, Kelley. GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS Kelley (Harlow) Pulisic was a defender at George Mason from 1989 to 1992 and ranks fifth in consecutive games started with 72. Mark Pulisic was a powerfully built forward at George Mason from 1986 to 1989 and is sixth on the school’s all-time goals list with 35. “For four years, it was blood, sweat and tears with his mom,” she said, speaking from the Dallas-Fort Worth entanglement where she helms a school special-education program. “For four years, she was the anchor of our team.” So the kind of demanding and stalwart defender every team needs to avoid misery (Kelley), still fifth in consecutive George Mason games started (72), wound up marrying a forward who arrived as a “journeyman” (Dunphy’s word) and toiled his way to sixth all-time in George Mason goals (35), especially with “garbage goals” (as Lilley calls them). “I would drive up to George Ma- had played football all his life.” “He’s at Dortmund with other German national team players,” Lilley said, having visited when Christian was 16. The sacrifice included Mark shepherding Christian to Europe while Kelley stayed back teaching school. “Those guys are talking to each other, they all speak the same language, and you’ve never been in that environment before.” They’re probably talking about you, and they might say, “ ‘Why is this American kid playing?’ ” as Lilley surmised, while saying, “You’re not going to play ahead of a kid that’s German if you’re for Dortmund unless you’re clearly better than him.” son on weekends in the summer,” Hylan said, speaking from near Boston where she’s a vice president of recruiting for a law firm. “I would train with the guys. And Mark was always there because he was committed to the game.” Once wedded, they proceeded to raise something else. “My father arranged for them to go to the local under-10s” in Waterford, Ireland, on a Pulisic family visit with the lad still 7 or 8, Dunphy said as an Irishman in London, where he founded an investment company. “It was obviously something that really resonated with him,” the way the kid had “the close control, a comfortableness on the ball. My father “When I went over there to visit the first year, Christian would be out the door early, going over to school,” Lilley said from Pittsburgh, where he manages the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the American second tier. “Mark’s going to get him from school, over to the training center. He’s doing homework. Then he’s meeting with the adviser. Then he’s training. Then it’s like 7 at night, 7:30 at night. ‘Want to get something to eat?’ This kid’s been going since 7:30, 8 in the morning, and you’re doing that every day, you’d better have soccer in your blood. You’re either going to hit the mark or a big club like Dortmund’s going to move on.” Also, host Bologna beat Sassuolo, 3-0. l GERMANY: Bayern Munich stretched its Bundesliga lead to six points after a 2-0 road win over Schalke in its final game before the World Cup. Bayern was without Sadio Mané because of a fibula injury that left the Senegal forward’s World Cup participation in question. Canada left back Alphonso Davies has a muscle issue, and Bayern opted not to risk Thomas Müller after the experienced German had a run of minor injuries. . . . Leipzig rose to second place with a 2-1 win at Bremen. l FRANCE: Second-place Lens moved within two points of Ligue 1 leader Paris Saint-Germain by beating visiting Clermont, 2-1. PSG hosts Auxerre on Sunday. . . . In Saturday’s other Ligue 1 match, third-place Rennes beat visiting Toulouse, 2-1. Meanwhile, in came players from Asia, Africa, all over footballing creation . . . “Thirty kids maybe brought in, and maybe only two end up playing with Dortmund’s first team. Some end up playing for Stuttgart or Schalke. It’s hard to make it through the academy system all the way to the top of the academy system when you’re with a big club. He never gets to transfer to Chelsea if he’s not showing that he can impact one of the teams.” And now . . . “And now you’re at Chelsea.” And now you’re really captain, America. View it this way, as does Dunphy: The Ireland under-15 squad for which Dunphy played backup goalkeeper won in Europe in 1982, a great-big hell of a breakthrough. “And what happened?” Dunphy said. “Not one of the guys made it. All of those players, which were fantastic, not one guy made it. There’s so many factors that can affect it.” Here’s one: “Football, also, there’s so many people playing it.” So it’s no wonder they feel a sort of a wow even if the whole thing does make sense, which Hylan believes it does given the parents, and even if there can be that occasional disconnect of, Really? It’s no wonder that after a 17-year-old Pulisic left Fine a ticket to a United States vs. Ecuador friendly in Frisco near Dallas, Fine kept the envelope with the words, “ ‘Left by Christian Pulisic,’ with his handwriting on it.” It’s no wonder that with Hylan and her three accomplished teenage players, the first already booked to play at Duke, “We talk about him in our household from a learning standpoint.” In a house that boasts its various Pulisic jerseys, in an era when kids can get up on Saturdays and watch Europe, in an era when her 12-year-old son can rev up the iPad and watch videos of matches and techniques that preceded his birth, they observe how Pulisic “keeps overcoming odds, which I love, and I actually talk about that often with my own children.” It becomes a moment in their house across the Atlantic when he enters matches as a backup and she tells them: “ ‘Watch, he’ll have five minutes to produce, and he will. He’ll make the most out of the minutes he gets, which I find very impressive.’ ” “If he hits a roadblock,” Lilley said, “he keeps working, keeps his head down, and that very much reminds me of Mark and Kelley where they have that work ethic.” So here come the parenting reviews. Lilley: “They would always say, ‘You know, we’re not going to push this on him.’ ” Fine: “It’s not like they forced him to go outside and kick a soccer ball 195 times.” Lilley: “They didn’t have him just playing. He was training and they were measuring — rather than having him get over his head. It was always about, ‘Is he able to express himself,’ rather than throwing him in the deep end. They were always patient.” But then, Dunphy: “He plays nothing like his father did. The father was just built like a brick s---house. Gigantic legs and thighs, not particularly fast but just barreling.” The son, though: “Just so dangerous.” Three different humans forged this arc. “What I love about him the most,” Hylan said, “is he’s very explosive. And his ability to attack opportunities and take people one-on-one is a game changer. He makes things happen out of nothing, actually.” And so: “I hold my breath.” A lot of that might go around shortly.
D10 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST M2 . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Capitals’ Aube-Kubel is hit with three-game suspension BY S AMANTHA P ELL Washington Capitals forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel was suspended three games for an illegal check to the head of Tampa Bay’s Cal Foote, the NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced Saturday. Aube-Kubel delivered the open-ice hit on Foote near the Capitals’ blue line at 1:56 of the second period in Washington’s 5-1 win on Friday. Aube-Kubel received a fiveminute major and a match penalty on the play. Foote left the game and did not return. In a video announcing the suspension, the league determined Foote’s head was the “main point of contact” and the blow to the head “was avoidable.” Aube-Kubel will miss Washington’s game Sunday at Tampa Bay, Tuesday’s game at Florida and Thursday’s game at St. Louis. He will forfeit $16,216.23 in salary. He will be eligible to return Saturday for Washington’s game against the Colorado Avalanche. This is Aube-Kubel’s first suspension; he had been previously fined twice. Washington (7-7-2) plays Tampa Bay (7-6-1) again Sunday — this time at Amalie Arena. It is the start of a three-game trip for the Capitals. Lightning players and coaches were upset with the hit after C A PITALS ’ N E X T T H REE at Tampa Bay Lightning Today 7 ESPN at Florida Panthers Tuesday 7 NBCSW at St. Louis Blues Thursday 8 NBCSW Radio: WJFK (106.7 FM), WTEM (980 AM), WFED (1500 AM) JOHN MCDONNELL/THE WASHINGTON POST Washington’s Nicolas Aube-Kubel was suspended for three games by the NHL for an open-ice hit on Tampa Bay’s Cal Foote on Friday. Friday’s game. Coach Jon Cooper said: “That [hit] defines the word blind-side. It’s too bad we’re playing them again [Sunday] because I doubt [Foote] will be around to see the game.” In addition to Aube-Kubel’s suspension, winger Garnet Hathaway was fined $4,054.05, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for unsportsmanlike conduct in Friday’s game. Tampa Bay’s Pat Maroon also was fined $2,702.70. Hathaway and Ma- roon fought while the officials reviewed Aube-Kubel’s hit. Both were assessed five-minute fighting majors and 10-minute misconduct penalties. The Capitals also will be without Coach Peter Laviolette for Sunday’s game. Laviolette entered the NHL’s covid-19 protocols Friday. He could rejoin the team as soon as Tuesday — if he tests negative twice Monday — for the Capitals’ game against the Panthers in Sunrise, Fla. Assistant Coach Kevin McCarthy will continue head coaching duties while Laviolette is sidelined. Washington could see the return of defenseman Dmitry Orlov at some point during the team’s trip. He has missed the past three games with a lowerbody injury. He skated the past few days, most recently Saturday during the team’s optional practice before Washington flew to Tampa. With Aube-Kubel ineligible to play Sunday, the Capitals will have to decide which forward — Joe Snively or Connor McMichael — will enter Washington’s lineup. Snively and McMichael have played in four games each without recording a point. Snively last played Nov. 3 against Detroit; McMichael last played Nov. 5 against Arizona. NHL ROUNDUP Ottawa’s Giroux delivers a winning effort — this time against Philadelphia SENATORS 4, FLYERS 1 A SSOCIATED P RESS For 14 seasons, Philadelphia Flyers fans were used to seeing Claude Giroux set up a pair of goals and help his team win a game. On Saturday, they saw it again, but for the first time it didn’t help the Flyers. Giroux had two assists in his return to Philadelphia, Alex DeBrincat scored a pair of powerplay goals, and the Ottawa Sena- tors snapped a seven-game winless streak by beating the Flyers, 4-1. Giroux, 34, was greeted with a standing ovation that extended for several minutes. But once the puck dropped, it was clear he was with a new team, and he helped set up Ottawa’s Thomas Chabot for a goal. In the third period, Giroux, while quarterbacking the power play, made a pass off the end boards to DeBrincat on the far side of the net, who jammed it in for his second goal of the game and fourth of the season. Giroux has 14 points in 14 games with the Senators after he signed with them in the offseason. DeBrincat netted his first goal also on a power play. Tim Stutzle and Brady Tkachuk set him up with a well-executed tic-tac-toe pass that found DeBrincat alone at the side of the net for an easy tap-in tally. The Flyers took three consecutive penalties — the first two late in the second period and then another early in the third period — leading to two Ottawa goals. Stutzle added an empty-net goal and Cam Talbot made 37 saves for the Senators. l CANADIENS 5, PENGUINS 4 (OT): Mike Hoffman scored 63 seconds into overtime as Montreal rallied at home to defeat Pittsburgh. Sean Monahan’s power-play goal at 14:42 of the third period tied the score for the Canadiens and forced overtime. l BRUINS 3, SABRES 1: Patrice Bergeron scored two goals and Brad Marchand had two assists, leading visiting Boston over Buffalo. Jakub Zboril scored his first NHL goal and Keith Kinkaid made 30 saves for the Bruins, who won for the 10th time in 11 games. l ISLANDERS 4, BLUE JACKETS 3 (OT): In Elmont, N.Y., Zach Parise scored 39 seconds into overtime to give the Islanders a win over Columbus. Brock Nelson scored twice and Scott Mayfield had a goal and an assist for New York. l OILERS 4, PANTHERS 2: Defenseman Tyson Barrie scored twice and goalie Stuart Skinner made 40 saves as Edmonton beat Florida in Sunrise, Fla. Barrie’s second goal of the game came four seconds into a power play at 6:53 of the third period to give the Oilers the lead for good. l PREDATORS 2, RANGERS 1: Juuso Pärssinen scored his first NHL goal, Juuse Saros made 34 saves, and Nashville downed visiting New York. Mark Jankowski also scored for the Predators. Filip Chytil scored for the Rangers, who lost for the fourth time in five games. l MAPLE LEAFS 3, CANUCKS 2: Jordie Benn snapped a second-period tie in his first game with Toronto as the host Maple Leafs beat Vancouver. Benn, who had been sidelined by a preseason groin injury, scored against his former team at the 10:01 mark.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ D11 SU Hoyas use big second half to rout Phoenix, improve to 2-0 GEORGETOWN 92, GREEN BAY 58 BY P ATRICK S TEVENS Brandon Murray walked into Saturday’s postgame news conference with a wrestling-style title belt adorned with the phrase “Hoya toughness” after Georgetown dispensed with Wisconsin Green Bay, 92-58. Murray and Georgetown haven’t won a championship during the first week of the season. Far from it. Yet such a mix of frivolity and dedication can’t help but be a welcome development for the Hoyas after last year’s 6-25 slog. Murray, a transfer from LSU, had 19 points and seven assists as Georgetown (2-0) dominated the second half after a sleepy start to an 11 a.m. tip before 4,583 at Capital One Arena. “He makes all the right plays,” Coach Patrick Ewing said. “He makes all the right passes. He gets on my nerves from time to time, but he makes all the right plays.” Duquesne transfer Primo Spears had 21 points and five assists, center Qudus Wahab posted 18 points and seven rebounds a game after he was saddled with three first-half fouls, and reserve sophomore guard Jordan Riley scored a career-high 11 points for the Hoyas. Clarence Cummings III scored 14 points and D.C. native Zae Blake had 13 off the bench for the Phoenix (0-2). The 34-point margin was Georgetown’s largest since a 102-67 rout of Howard on Dec. 29, 2018. The Hoyas shot 62.3 percent from the field, their most efficient day since they connected on 63.8 percent at Butler on Jan. 28, 2017, during their final season under former coach John Thompson III. Georgetown didn’t appear headed for such a comfortable victory when it took a 31-29 lead into the break against a Green Bay team that also lost 25 games last season and added 10 new players this season. That start was even more ominous in the wake of a 99-89 overtime triumph Tuesday over a weary Coppin State team that played a night earlier. But the Hoyas ripped off a 15-2 run to begin the second half Saturday and only committed one turnover in the final 20 minutes after making 10 in the first half. “Our energy was a lot different,” Murray said. “We all had the same mind-set that we have to run the score up and we have to pass it more. The ball was sticking a lot in the first half, and then in the second half we started moving the ball.” Georgetown shot 70.3 percent (26 for 37) and had 13 assists in the second half.

MLB’s integration struggle started with Robinson in 1947 but didn’t end there BY F REDERIC J . F ROMMER Major League Baseball recently wrapped up its season-long celebration of the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier, beginning with “Hamilton” star Leslie Odom Jr. narrating a video tribute to Robinson and ending with a nationally televised World Series promotion. But if the high-profile commemoration gave the impression baseball solved its integration problem 75 years ago, history provides a much more complicated story. After Robinson’s debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947, progress was haltingly slow across the sport. Two other ballclubs integrated that year — the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Browns. But over the next five years, just three more teams — the New York Giants, Boston Braves and Chicago White Sox — followed suit. And Robinson was not shy about calling out the holdouts, beginning with the New York Yankees. On Nov. 30, 1952, about two months after the Yankees beat the Dodgers in a seven-game World Series, Robinson appeared on the NBC News show, “Youth Wants to Know.” A boy asked Robinson whether he believed there was prejudice, and he replied, “Yes,” according to the New York Times. Explaining he was referring to the club executives and not the players, Robinson said, “I think the members of the Yankees team are fine sportsmen and wonderful gentleman, but there isn’t a single Negro on the team now, and there are very few in the entire Yankee farm system.” “It seems to me,” he elaborated in a follow-up interview with the Times, “the Yankees front office has used racial prejudice in its dealings with Negro ball players.” Yankees vice president George M. Weiss claimed in an interview with the Associated Press that wasn’t the case. “Our attitude always has been that when a Negro comes along who can play good enough ball to win a place on the Yankees we will be glad to have him but not just for exploitation,” Weiss said. Some sportswriters defended the Yankees. In a 1955 Times sports column, Arthur Daley wrote: “The charge has been leveled against the New York Yankees that they have been prejudiced against Negroes. It has been made mostly by irresponsible persons who point to the fact that the Bombers have never had one on their squad. It also has been made by the sensitive and crusading Jackie Robinson.” Daley said he “never believed a word of it. The men in the Yankee front office have stubbornly refused to be panicked into hiring a Negro just because he was a Negro.” But Roger Kahn would recount Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”) Briggs’s great-grandson, Harvey Briggs, wrote a 2017 opinion piece in the Detroit Free Press condemning the late owner as a racist. The Red Sox were the final holdouts. Back in 1945, under local political pressure, they had given a tryout to Robinson, along with two other Black players, but Robinson said years later he knew it was a sham and that he would never hear from the team. The Red Sox finally integrated in July 1959 with infielder Pumpsie Green but not without attracting criticism over how they treated him. Boston sent Green down to the minors before the season even though he hit .327 in spring training. “The Red Sox won no prizes this spring for the way they treated Pumpsie Green,” Boston Globe columnist Harold Kaese wrote. Kaese noted that Green spent half of spring training living alone in a motel on the outskirts of Phoenix, 10 miles away from where the rest of the team lived in Scottsdale, Ariz., because the “exclusive” Scottsdale hotels wouldn’t let him stay at their establishments. “The Red Sox should not have lived in Scottsdale themselves under such conditions,” he wrote. LARRY FRENCH/GETTY IMAGES/NATIONAL ARCHIVES FOUNDATION A photo of Jackie Robinson was displayed last month at the opening reception of an exhibit at the National Archives Museum in D.C. in his 1972 baseball classic “The Boys of Summer” that the real reason was in fact prejudice as Robinson had suspected. Kahn wrote that a high-ranking Yankees executive told him at the 1952 World Series that he would never allow a Black player to wear a Yankees uniform. “We don’t want that sort of crowd,” the executive said after three martinis, according to Kahn. “It would offend boxholders from Westchester to have to sit with” Black people, using the n-word. Only ‘if he belonged’ By 1952, 10 of the sport’s 16 teams had yet to feature a Black player on their major league roster, but the track record was better in New York. The city was home to three teams at the time, and the Yankees were the only one that remained all White. The Giants had integrated in 1949 with two players — Hank Thompson and future Hall of Famer Monte Irvin (although Thompson made his MLB debut two years earlier with the Browns). Willie Mays joined the team in 1951. Publicly, some owners would use the same justification Weiss did. Writing in a 1952 Sporting News retrospective, Washington Senators owner Clark Griffith complained that a few years earlier “subversive persons came to Washington from New York, and picketed our ballpark. I was ac- cused of discrimination against Negro players.” “I stand ready, and eager, to place Negro players on our Washington club,” Griffith wrote. “But they must rate the jobs on the basis of ability, and not merely because they happen to be Negroes. I will not sign a Negro for the Washington club merely to satisfy subversive persons. I would welcome a Negro on the Senators if he rated the distinction, if he belonged among major-league players.” The Yankees could at least claim they were fielding a great team despite their refusal to integrate the roster. The Senators could not. They hadn’t won a pennant since 1933 and often finished at or near the bottom of the American League standings. Momentum to fully integrate baseball didn’t build until the mid1950s. In 1954, the Senators finally put a Black player on the roster, outfielder Carlos Paula, making them one of four teams to integrate that year. In 1955, eight years after their crosstown rivals had done so in Brooklyn — and a year after the Supreme Court ruled that segregated schools were unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education — the Yankees debuted their first Black player, catcher Elston Howard. His first game came in the home opener of the Boston Red Sox, where Fenway fans, still waiting for their own team to have a Black player, gave him a rousing welcome. “This is the first time I have ever been in Boston, and the people applauded me like that,” Howard said after the game. “It was real nice.” The Yankees were the 13th team to integrate. The last holdouts Robinson retired after the 1956 season — nine years after his debut — and strikingly, there were still three teams that had yet to employ a Black player: the Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers and Red Sox. Again, Robinson challenged the status quo. “I can’t understand why 13 major league clubs have Negro players and the other three clubs can’t come up with any. I don’t know if it’s their scouting systems or what,” Robinson told Boston reporters in February 1957, following a breakfast with Mayor John B. Hynes to launch Robinson’s local campaign for the NAACP’s freedom fund drive. When told at the news conference the Red Sox had two players on their San Francisco farm club, Robinson replied: “That doesn’t mean a thing. They don’t have any on the Red Sox roster.” Rick Swaine, author of “The Integration of Major League Baseball: A Team by Team History,” said there was a simple explanation for the slow progress by most teams. “I don’t think they wanted to hire Black people. It was largely racism,” Swaine said in a telephone interview. “They actually thought Blacks were inferior players, even though they had proven to be as good if not better than the White players. And they were cheaper.” Around this time, Phillies owner Robert Carpenter trotted out the same rationale for his allWhite team that the Yankees and Senators had used. “I’m not opposed to Negro players. But I’m not going to hire a player of any color or nationality just to have him on the team,” he said, according to the “The Phillies Encyclopedia” by Rich Westcott and Frank Bilovsky. The Phillies became the last National League team to integrate in 1957, when 30-year-old John Kennedy came into the game as a pinch runner. His career consisted of two at-bats across five games. The Tigers were next, bringing up infielder Ozzie Virgil from the minors in 1958. Virgil, who already had played two seasons for the Giants, was also the first Dominican player in the majors. His Detroit debut followed a local boycott campaign that pressured the Tigers to integrate. And it came six years after the death of team owner Walter O. Briggs, whom Black sportswriter Wendell Smith described as “Oh so very prejudiced. He’s the major league combination of Simon Legree and Adolf Hitler.” (Legree was the villain in Keeping up the pressure Robinson, meanwhile, would continue to press baseball on its hiring practices. When MLB honored him at the 1972 World Series to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his debut, Robinson — just nine days before his death at 53 — used the occasion to urge a major league team to hire the sport’s first Black manager. At the time, Dusty Baker had just finished his first full season as a player. A half-century later, Baker this month became the third Black manager to win a World Series when his Houston Astros beat the Phillies. (The first two were Cito Gaston of the Toronto Blue Jays and Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers.) Baker has talked about growing up in Southern California and idolizing Robinson, whose No. 42 is worn across baseball on April 15 to commemorate his debut. “I’ve kept every Jackie Robinson Day jersey that we’ve had,” Baker said in April. “It means a lot to me. I think of my dad a lot on this day. “All the time I was growing up as a kid, my dad would always remind me when I would get in a scrap or scuffle or something, especially like a racial scuffle, my dad would also tell me to think about what Jackie would do.” Frederic J. Frommer, a writer and sports historian, is the author of several books, including “You Gotta Have Heart: Washington Baseball from Walter Johnson to the 2019 World Series Champion Nationals.”
D12 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST SU . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 high schools MARYLAND BOYS’ SOCCER SEMIFINALS Defensive Bulldogs make Adekanmbi’s early goal stand up cross to regain the lead. “It was a great feeling,” Muldoon said of the goal. “That’s the kind of stuff you think about when you’re in your room or before the season. It’s what I thought about when I was young and I was a ballboy for this team. A great feeling.” BOWIE 1, URBANA 0 BY M ICHAEL E RRIGO For much of Saturday’s Maryland 4A semifinal, the Bowie boys’ soccer team was handed a strenuous task: protect a one-goal lead. After senior Kingsley Adekanmbi scored in the opening 10 minutes, the Bulldogs knew their passage to the team’s first state title game since 2011 would only be granted with patience and plenty of defense. “To me, a 1-0 game is a lot harder than 0-0 because you’re trying to get another one but you have to be so cautious,” Adekanmbi said. “Especially at the end, we were just trying to keep the lead.” Their efforts paid off at the final whistle as the Bulldogs earned a 1-0 win over Urbana in Silver Spring. The Bulldogs (16-2) have long been a program to fear and respect in Prince George’s County, winners of nine state championships and a constant producer of talent. Often times, it is early November when a successful Bulldogs team looks to push a season from good to great by winning games such as this one. Last fall, the team fell to Northwest in a dramatic and controversial semifinal. This year, Urbana (14-5), a twotime state champion out of Frederick County, was not provided too many opportunities to break the Bulldogs’ hearts. After Adekanmbi gave Bowie a 1-0 lead, it tightened its defense and allowed few scoring looks. Perhaps the most dangerous came with two minutes remaining in the match as Urbana earned a fast-developing two-on-one break. A Hawks forward drew near to Bulldogs goalkeeper Ronaldo Sosa and then ripped a rightfooted shot toward the net. Sosa shot his arms up just in time, and the ball rocketed off his hands and out of danger. Centennial rallies in 3A In the 3A bracket, Centennial will represent Howard County in the state title game after it beat Wicomico County’s J.M. Bennett High, 2-1, in Friday’s semifinal in Crofton. Down 1-0 at halftime, the Eagles (14-1-1) scored twice in the first 20 minutes of the second half to take down the defending state champion Clippers. “It always feels like a lot more pressure when you have something to lose,” Eagles Coach Justin Thomas said. “We bent a little bit holding on to that lead, but we didn’t break.” Centennial, a dominant program in the 1980s and ’90s, is chasing its ninth state championship but first since 1995. “The way this group can handle a setback, can accept a setback but not put their heads down is what I’m proudest of,” Thomas said. “It’s very easy to lose confidence [down 1-0], but they settled. And I’m so proud of the way they got back in it.” AMANDA ANDRADE-RHOADES FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Kingsley Adekanmbi’s goal put Bowie ahead in the opening 10 minutes Saturday. The Bulldogs will play Severna Park in the 4A final. “It was just timing and reaction,” Sosa said. “As a goalkeeper, if you think too much you’re done. You start questioning decisions, you’re done. You just have to act.” This coming week, the Bulldogs will travel to Loyola University for the 4A title game. They will face Severna Park, which won Saturday night’s semifinal against Blair. “Funny enough, our motivation for winning this game wasn’t to make the championship but just to be able to keep training together,” Sosa said. “And I did not want this to be over.” In the second semifinal, Severna Park came alive in the second half to earn a 2-1 win over the host Blazers. This was the Falcons’ second consecutive trip to the state semi- finals, and they made it count by earning the program’s first trip to a championship since 2017. After a scoreless first half in which Blair created the majority of chances, Severna Park opened the scoring 15 minutes into the second half when senior defender Gavin Simpkins poked the ball in during a scrum in the box. Blair, seemingly undaunted by the dras- tic swing of momentum, responded with an equalizer seconds later. The kickoff turned into an immediate attack, one that was finished off by junior Oscar Rivas. With the home crowd in full throat, Severna Park stayed steady, and its persistence was rewarded with 20 minutes remaining when senior defender Owen Muldoon finished off a Glenelg into 2A final In the 2A bracket, Glenelg avenged a painful loss from last season by defeating Wicomico County’s Parkside, 2-0, on Friday night in Gaithersburg to punch its ticket to the coming week’s championship. The Gladiators (10-4-2) were handed a rematch of last year’s state semifinal, where they fell to Parkside, 1-0. They took full advantage of this second chance, scoring two second-half goals. Glenelg will make its first trip to the final since 1997. It will face North Harford, which defeated Lackey in the other 2A semifinal Saturday. VIRGINIA 6A FIELD HOCKEY SEMIFINALS Lions’ victory is a family affair, sets up a showdown against familiar Patriots FAIRFAX 2, COLONIAL FORGE 0 BY I AN D ECKER fredericksburg, va. — At half- time of the Class 6 state semifinal Saturday, Fairfax midfielder Halley Beaudoin took the clipboard from her mother, Coach Amber Beaudoin, and broke down the team’s pressing formation. Halley Beaudoin, one of the team’s senior captains, provided strong play and guidance. Kaia Beaudoin, her younger sister, provided a key goal. Together, they helped lead Fairfax to its first state final appearance after it defeated Colonial Forge, 2-0, at Massaponax High. The Lions (23-1-1) had previously lost seven times in the semifinals. They will play Yorktown at noon Sunday at Courtland High in Spotsylvania. “They are like little coaches on the field, especially Halley,” Am- ber Beaudoin said of her daughters. “She’s not only our captain but our field general. She really sets the tone for our team.” One of Fairfax’s objectives was to establish a quick tempo in the first five minutes, which the team executed early. Less than a minute after the game started, senior forward Kennedy Bailey tore down the right wing and blew by two Colonial Forge defenders before delivering a ball into the circle. Junior midfielder Kelly Via tapped the ball onto the stick of unmarked senior midfielder Ripley Collins, who buried a shot past Eagles goalkeeper Kate Young. “I like that we came out and scored early,” Amber Beaudoin said. “That was one of our goals for the game, really setting the tone and establishing the swing, and I thought we did that really well early.” Despite conceding the early goal, Colonial Forge (14-8) held Fairfax to just three corners and six shots. MARYLAND CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS Reloaded Severna Park claims the sweep in 4A BY S PENCER N USBAUM After years as the standardbearer for Maryland’s cross-country scene, Severna Park entered Saturday morning’s Class 4A meet in Parkdale as a championship hopeful, not a shoo-in. The girls had only narrowly won the region championship, while nine of the top 10 runners from the boys’ 2021 state championship team graduated, leaving a perennially dominant program seemingly in limbo. And yet the Falcons again planted their flag atop the state’s hierarchy, with an underclassmen-laden girls’ team ending a two-season title drought and the boys’ team capturing its fifth consecutive championship. “No matter what, [a state title] is the goal,” said senior Cami Glebocki, whose finish in 20 minutes 7.5 seconds was good for ninth in the girls’ race. “This is the deepest team from my four years. . . . At the beginning of the summer when we started our training, we were like, ‘Wow, this is the year, state champs.’ ” On Saturday, seven new runners — including two sub-17:30 runners in senior Chris Nunn and junior Taylor Jarvis — propelled the boys to 101 points, besting Churchill (112) and Whitman (114). The Poolesville boys’ team won its second-straight state title in the 2A meet, following up a historic victory at October’s Montgomery County cross-country championships. Seniors Aaron Longbrake and Caleb Dastrup were the team’s top runners, placing third and fourth. The girls’ team placed second, with junior Daisy Dastrup third among individual athletes. In 4A, Blair senior Frederick Alfonso-Frank (16:47.2) was the top local runner, earning silver behind senior Ty Dailey (16:25.2) At the 9:45 mark of the third quarter, Halley Beaudoin received a penalty corner pass and played it out wide to Via. Via knocked the ball into the center of the circle, where Kaia Beaudoin struck a reverse chip that deflected over Young, doubling the Lions’ advantage. “It was just the communication of my other teammates and the movement of my players cutting back posts, as well as the passing between Halley and [Via],” Kaia Beaudoin said of her goal. Ahead of Sunday’s final, Amber Beaudoin had a simple message for her team: “One more.” Dynamic duo lead Yorktown Even after Yorktown senior midfielder Emily Stafford graduates this spring, she won’t have to wait long before reuniting with junior forward Alexis Williams on the turf; both have committed to play field hockey at the University of Pennsylvania. And in Saturday’s Class 6 semifinal against Western Branch at of Dulaney. Richard Montgomery senior Noah Fisher (16:59.2) placed third. In the girls’ race, the Falcons (100) outpaced Walter Johnson (117) and Wootton (125). Runners on the girls’ team said the program’s success has come from a selfless approach. “Our team is more focused on the whole than the individual,” junior Sarah Kelly said. “It’s really just how strong our team bond is.” After finishing last year’s state meet over a minute behind the front of the pack, Leonardtown junior Elena Blodnikar pulled ahead of Bethesda-Chevy Chase junior Varri Higgins in the final mile to take home individual gold in Class 4A. Blodnikar (18:58.8) ran the lone sub-19 minute time, with Higgins (19:19.8) and Whitman sophomore Katherine Greenwald (19:25.8) next to finish. In Class 3A, Howard junior Kiley Mann and Reservoir freshman Ela Muniz were the lone local top-10 finishers on the girls’ side. Centennial seniors Sebastian Martinez (16:26.4) and Antonio Camacho-Bucks (16:36.5) earned respective third- and fifthplace medals, leading the boys’ team to third place. Massaponax High, the future Quakers propelled their team to a 2-0 victory. Midway through the first quarter, Stafford picked up the ball and hit a hard shot that Williams tipped past Western Branch goalie Berkley Miller. “[Stafford and Williams] scoring that first goal was pretty cool,” Yorktown Coach Olivia Shipley said. After years of playing together, Stafford and Williams have developed a telepathic-like bond on the field. “We work really well together,” Stafford said. “We just know how to play off each other.” Saturday afternoon pitted the 2021 Class 6 finalists against each other once more; the Patriots beat the Bruins last year, 1-0, for their first state title. This time, however, Yorktown (17-3) controlled possession and dictated the match’s tempo to shut out Western Branch (13-6). “Overall, we came out super calm, composed, controlled and were able to maintain possession and have a ton of offensive opportunities,” Shipley said. The Patriots could have added to their offensive tally had it not been for Miller’s sublime play in net. The junior made myriad saves, denying a potent Yorktown attack and finishing with 11 stops, many of which kept her side within striking distance. But with the Bruins’ offense stalling — Western Branch had just one penalty corner — Yorktown doubled its lead in the final frame. Stafford jogged to the left corner with two minutes to play and found sophomore midfielder Laney Reiser at the top of the circle. Reiser then took a step back and launched a shot that clattered off the back of the goal. “We’re excited to play Fairfax,” Stafford said. “It’s always been a really great matchup against them, and they’re a very good and competitive team that pushes us.” Independence downed in 2OT Scarlett Thompson and Mad- VIRGINIA CLASS 6 CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS Spartans surge to glory; Cavaliers topple champs BY S PENCER N USBAUM The West Springfield girls and W.T. Woodson boys entered Saturday morning’s Class 6 crosscountry championships in Leesburg as slim favorites. In the early afternoon they both finished — narrowly — as Virginia state champions. For the Spartans, tight margins in earlier fall victories expanded a target on their backs: a threepoint victory over Woodson in mid-October and a two-point margin at last week’s region championship — with a competitive Langley team also in the mix — made the state meet a threeteam spectacle. All three teams found their way to the podium Saturday, but it was West Springfield (51 points) and its four top-15 finishers that again got the best of Langley (59) and Woodson (80) on the 5,000-meter course. “We were crying and hugging. It was a special moment for our team,” said West Springfield sophomore Adeline Barker, who finished ninth with a time of 19 minutes 27 seconds. In the boys’ race, Woodson (57 points) knocked off defending champion Oakton (70) for its first title since 2018. Senior Samik Bhinge, who finished 11th (16:36), said he and his teammates closed their eyes Friday and visualized what success might look like. Senior Daniel Cassata, the team’s next-fastest runner, said the Cavaliers’ title quest began the moment they placed third last year. The nerves took three hours off his sleep schedule. Around the two-mile mark, a teammate yelled that the Cavaliers were behind pace. So in a move that has driven their ascent this season, they pushed ahead as a pack. All five scorers placed inside the top 25. “When you’re running and you see a Woodson jersey, you know die DiLuigi scored for Independence, but the Tigers came up just short in the Class 5 semifinals against 23-time state champion Cox. The Ashburn school lost, 3-2, in double overtime to finish 21-2 this season. “Amazing season for these players,” Independence Coach Jennifer Darrow said via email. “We set ourselves up to play harder teams this season. . . . We wanted to prepare ourselves for this game.” Cox, out of Virginia Beach, has won the past three Class 5 titles as well as the Class 6 championship in 2018. Loudoun Valley knocked out Loudoun Valley scored a second-half equalizer to force overtime in its semifinal match but eventually fell to two-time defending Class 4 champion Great Bridge, 1-0 in a shootout, after the game ended 1-1. The Vikings finished 20-3 on the season. you’re not alone,” Cassata said. Herndon senior Gillian Bushée capped her immaculate season with an individual victory in the girls’ race, completing the course in 18:17 to outpace McLean senior Thais Rolly (18:45) and West Springfield junior Aidan MacGrath (18:50). The past three seasons have produced a string of virtual tossups between Bushée and Rolly, with Bushée winning by less than a second at the region championship. But Bushée, who entered particularly motivated after she passed out 150 meters from the finish line in last year’s meet because of an issue with her iron levels, sprung ahead in the final kilometer. “We’re lucky — or maybe unlucky — since we’re both nationally ranked runners and yet we’re from the same district,” Bushée said. “Since sophomore year, we’ve helped each other PR. I just felt good today.” South County senior Isaac Garcia (15:46) was the top local boys runner, jockeying with Franklin County senior Nathan Atchue for the state title before Atchue (15:43) pulled ahead. Junior Nayan Kasperowski, Garcia’s South County teammate, placed third.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ D13 M2 high schools MARYLAND GIRLS’ SOCCER SEMIFINALS In rematch against Bruins, Cougars’ win is worth the wait QUINCE ORCHARD 1, BROADNECK 0 BY K YLE M ELNICK After Quince Orchard midfielder Caroline Donmoyer scored midway through the first half Saturday afternoon, her teammates ran to the top of the box to celebrate. Instead, the scene turned frightening as Donmoyer lay on the turf holding her stomach. It was an anticlimactic sequence for a long-awaited moment for the Cougars in the Maryland 4A semifinals. But once Quince Orchard completed its 1-0 win over Broadneck, players released their pent-up excitement by storming Blair High’s field and jumping in a huddle around the 30-yard line in Silver Spring. By winning a rematch of its semifinal loss last year, Quince Orchard qualified for its first championship game since 2008. The Cougars will play Montgomery County rival Whitman, which beat Blair in the other semifinal, in next week’s 4A final at Loyola University in Baltimore. “After last year’s loss,” Quince Orchard midfielder Annie Faraone said, “we were thinking: ‘We cannot lose to them again. We have to make them feel the way we felt when they beat us.’ ” Quince Orchard’s season ended in penalty kicks against Broadneck (14-1-4) last year. That season, the Cougars played in honor of Coach Peg Keiller, who battled Stage 4 colon cancer. Keiller beat the cancer in June, good news she believed allowed the Cougars (14-3) to focus on soccer. On the opening day of school in September, Quince Orchard defender Lizzie Gelman walked into her first classroom and wrote “QO girls’ soccer to states” on the whiteboard. The team’s intensity changed after its loss to rival Northwest on Sept. 29. About two weeks later, the Cougars beat two of Montgomery County’s top teams, Wootton and BethesdaChevy Chase. Broadneck’s defense spearheaded its undefeated run, so Quince Orchard players believed AMANDA ANDRADE-RHOADES FOR THE WASHINGTON POST After a loss to Broadneck ended its season in 2021, Quince Orchard took down the Bruins this year to secure its first state championship game appearance since 2008. scoring first Saturday could secure a victory. That goal came in the 17th minute, when Donmoyer sprinted to reach a cross in the box as Broadneck’s goalkeeper ran out of the net for the ball. Donmoyer reached the ball first to score on an empty goal. The sophomore said she was kneed in the stomach, but she returned to the field about 10 minutes later. “It’s all mental once it comes down to you and the keeper about who’s going to get there first,” Donmoyer said, “and how much you’re willing to get there.” Quince Orchard concentrated on defending the remainder of the game. The Cougars have outscored their four postseason opponents 12-0. “It’s actually kind of surreal, even though I’ve been here before,” said Keiller, who began coaching the Gaithersburg program in 1999. “It’s been a long time, and you know at this point last year, I wasn’t even sure if I’d be coaching this year. I just didn’t know how things would go. So to be able to come back this year and come back healthy and just have this kind of run again, it’s just phenomenal.” Quince Orchard will be challenged against Whitman, which defeated the Cougars twice this season by a combined score of 5-0. On Saturday, the Vikings (15-1) defeated Blair, 2-0, to earn an opportunity to defend last year’s championship, which came against Broadneck. Midway through the first half against Blair (14-3), midfielder Isabella Fezza corralled the ball during a scuffle in the box and scored. With 15:46 remaining in the first half, Blair blocked Fezza’s shot, but midfielder Evelyn Javers collected the rebound and scored. Whitman’s loss to B-CC on Oct. 10 is the Bethesda program’s lone defeat since Oct. 7, 2021. “After B-CC, everything kind of clicked in our head that we’re not unbeatable,” Javers said. “Everyone started realizing how important it was to be at the top of our game every single game, no matter who the opponent was.” Hebron, Crofton advance Mount Hebron and Crofton will meet in the 3A final after each won its semifinal Saturday afternoon at Crofton in Gam- brills. Reigning champion Hebron (13-2-1) beat Oakdale, 1-0, for its 11th shutout this season. Second-year Anne Arundel County program Crofton (14-3-1) defeated Huntingtown, 4-0. Glenelg reaches 2A final On Friday, Glenelg beat Hereford, 3-2, in the 2A semifinals at Gaithersburg High.

MARYLAND 4A FIELD HOCKEY FINAL Broadneck breaks through Churchill’s defense to cap an undefeated season BROADNECK 2, CHURCHILL 0 BY T RAVIS C HASE owings mills, md. — Broad- neck and Churchill entered Saturday’s 4A state championship field hockey match knowing every goal would be precious. The Bruins were undefeated, never having allowed more than two goals in a game. Churchill, also unbeaten, had allowed just two goals all year. So when Broadneck midfielder Lexi Dupcak tapped a pass toward the top of the striking circle and fellow senior Maya Everett whirled the ball into the back left corner of the net to put the Bruins up 2-0 in the third quarter, they could sense it. Broadneck held on to win by that score, capturing its third state championship and first since 2002. Junior Mady Quigley got the scoring going in the first half at Stevenson University, and the Bruins (20-0) kept pushing, figuring they might need one more. “I think once we got through the first half, it was kind of a moment like, ‘We can’t settle because we’re up 1-0,’ ” Coach Shannon Hanratty recalled about what she told her team at halftime. “ ‘We don’t slow down.’ ” At half, the Bruins players listened to Hanratty and reflected on all the work they had done throughout the season to get here. They knew they were only 30 minutes away from a title. The early goal had put them right where they wanted to be. The Bruins knew they had to start aggressively against a stingy Bulldogs defense, and they had done just that. Broadneck spent majority of the first half in Churchill territory and was rewarded when sophomore Faith Everett, Maya Everett’s sister, swung a pass to Quigley, who swiped a point-blank shot into the net to take a 1-0 lead with 2:09 left in the first period. “Always is all gas no brakes,” Maya Everett said of the team’s message coming into the match- up. The Bruins’ aggressive offense fatigued the Bulldogs (17-1), who put only one shot on goal compared with nine for the Bruins. Broadneck also had seven penalty corner shots; Churchill had none. Last year, Broadneck lost in the state quarterfinals, 1-0, to eventual champion Severna Park. This year was a different story. As the Bruins fans counted down the final 10 seconds, instead of saying zero, they cheered. Players embraced one another in a team hug in front of their net. The Bruins mentioned a 4-1 win over Spalding in September as a turning point in the season. It was one of their toughest matchups, and they prevailed, providing plenty of confidence the rest of the way. Said Maya Everett, who’s committed to play at the University of Maryland: “Being able to work as a team in that situation kind of made us realize that we could go all the way.” MARYLAND 3A FIELD HOCKEY FINAL Cardinals’ high-powered offense finds an opening with time winding down CROFTON 2, RIVER HILL 1 BY S HANE C ONNUCK owings mills, md. — Kylie Corcoran glared at the Stevenson University scoreboard during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s Maryland 3A field hockey state championship. Crofton found itself tied with River Hill, with its high-powered offense having been mostly stymied by the Howard County champion’s defense. Corcoran and her teammates felt that after last year’s loss to eventual 3A champion Arundel, a title was in reach for the program in its second year. And it was Corcoran who brought the Cardinals glory — hammering home a shot into the left corner of the net with four minutes left in regulation to secure a 2-1 win and the first championship in program history. “You can tell when Kylie gets this fire in her eyes, and she had it at the end there,” Crofton Coach Amy Skrickus said. Corcoran, a junior midfielder whose game-winner was her team-best 21st goal of the season, said the Cardinals (16-2) began increasing the intensity during practices this year. Still, practice can’t always prepare you for these late-game scenarios. “Honestly, it was very stressful,” Corcoran said. “You go through games like those all the time. In your mind, you’re just saying you need to get the ball in the back of the net. And that’s what I did.” Crofton, which scored fourplus goals in 10 games this season, met another strong offense in River Hill (16-3), which had outscored its opponents 20-2 in the postseason entering Saturday. Nearly six minutes into the contest, River Hill sophomore attacker Maya Chan fired a shot past Cardinals goalkeeper Ryleigh Osborne. Crofton quickly answered. Lat- er in the first quarter, sophomore midfielder Karryn Dean fed a pass to Mary-Cate Parks. The sophomore forward shot the ball into the right side of the cage — knotting the match at one. Osborne had a lot of action in front of the net, facing 14 River Hill penalty corners. Like Corcoran, she felt the intensity of a game of this magnitude but didn’t let it faze her. “Being a goalie is a lot of pressure. But it’s how you deal with that pressure,” Osborne said. “As a goalkeeper, the pressure is a gift. We need to learn to grow from the pressure and that we live for it.” For Hawks Coach Shelly Chamness, her 23rd year at the helm ended in heartbreak for the second season in a row. River Hill had been on a 14-game winning streak, but Chamness knew the Hawks were in trouble just before Corcoran took her shot. “We hit it right to No. 8,” Chamness said, “which we were trying to avoid.” MARYLAND 2A FIELD HOCKEY FINAL Gladiators’ confidence is rewarded with a repeat under a first-year coach GLENELG 2, MAN. VALLEY 0 BY S HANE C ONNUCK owings mills, md. — One of the first things Christina Giampalmo did when she took over as Glenelg’s field hockey coach in August was have the players write down what they wanted to get out of the season. Most of them had one goal in mind — to repeat as Maryland 2A state champions. The Gladiators’ hopes came to fruition Saturday at Stevenson University. A pair of fourth-quarter goals lifted Glenelg to a 2-0 shutout of Manchester Valley, giving the Howard County school its second straight title and its sixth since 2010. “We really united at the end,” Giampalmo said. “We went from having a whole bunch of talented players to having a whole squad that worked together.” Giampalmo, a 2010 Glenelg alumna, had no coaching experience when she took over for Nicole Trunzo, who left the team because she was pregnant. Giampalmo leaned on assistants Candice Russ and Hope Burke, both of whom coached at Maryland-based Warhawks Field Hockey Club. Russ has known a lot of the Gladiators since they were as young as 10, including Theresa Stiller, the Gladiators’ leading goal scorer. Saturday’s match was a stalemate into the fourth quarter as Manchester Valley (13-3-1) was sti- fling the Gladiators’ strong attack. The Mavericks drew a series of penalty corners in the second quarter, none of which resulted in successful shots. About a minute after the final period began, Glenelg (13-6) broke through on a well-designed penalty corner play. A series of passes culminated in junior forward Ashley Kim feeding her sixth assist of the year to junior midfielder Emily Altshuler, who buried the shot. Glenelg scored again with two minutes to play in the fourth. This time it was Stiller pushing her team-high 17th goal of the season into the back of the cage from the right side off an assist from Skylar Rill. “Not even considering that I’ve known them for so long, even over the course of this year, the growth that they’ve made as individuals and as a team is something that’s stood out to me,” Russ said. “I think a lot of it, too, is that there was a little bit of uncertainty with them because they didn’t have a coach until preseason started.” This summer before tryouts, the Glenelg players were setting up their own practices and workouts. A former football coach was helping out with the junior varsity team. But once Giampalmo was named coach, she had a group of players who already had started working toward the goal they accomplished Saturday. “We’ve just been going up all season and getting better,” sophomore defender Sarah Walker said. “And I think the goal is to do it again next year.”
D14 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST M2 . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Porzingis leads the way as the Wizards fire on all cylinders and take down Jazz WIZARDS FROM D1 WIZARDS’ NEXT THREE referring also to the Wizards’ 52 points in the paint. “And those are two areas we actually had some success. . . . Our two biggest strengths tonight are their two biggest weaknesses.” Being able to work in their comfort zones made for a fruitful night across the roster. Porzingis had a game-high 31 points on 12-for-20 shooting, including 4 for 8 on threes. He added 10 rebounds and worked Washington’s system exactly as he’s meant to, getting Utah’s defense out of position by taking advantage of size mismatches. Kuzma was ill with what the team said is a non-covid illness — he used a four-letter word to describe how terrible he felt Saturday morning — but had another highflying night with 23 points, eight rebounds and six assists, a strong encore to Thursday’s 36-point night against the Dallas Mavericks. He said after that game he had been asking the Wizards’ coaching staff to run the offense through him for weeks. “He has, and it’s one of those things where it’s got to be done by committee,” Unseld said. “. . . I like the way he’s played as far as his pace, even off makes. That’s great. The best part about that is we’re still able to stay organized for the most part.” Does he think Kuzma might back off his requests anytime soon? Unseld could only laugh, noting, “I don’t know if he’ll ever be satisfied.” Corey Kispert broke through, too. The guard had a season-high 18 points in his fifth game of the year after coming back from a left ankle sprain and shot 6 for 6 from the field and made four three-pointers. “Tonight was the night where I really felt like I was in the flow of the game from the jump,” Kispert said. Point guard Monte Morris added nine assists, five points and seven rebounds. Jordan Goodwin’s trio of three-pointers to end the first quarter gave the Wizards a nice jolt and some added confidence from deep that trickled down.

KLMNO Arts&Style SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . SECTION E EZ EE The ‘Birth of a Nation’ director has been mostly out of the public eye since 2016, when a rape charge from college resurfaced. He says he has grown. BY A NN H ORNADAY IN LOS ANGELES ‘A ll I see are the things I regret.” On a 99-degree day in August, the actor and filmmaker Nate Parker sits on a Kelly green velvet couch in the living room of the house he shares with his wife, Sarah, and their five daughters, recalling one of many disastrous moments in 2016. If Parker’s name rings a bell, it’s likely to be a distant one. In 2007, he was being called a young Denzel, having delivered a breakout performance in Washington’s “The Great Debaters.” In 2010, he was in the running to play the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in “Selma” (the role ultimately went to his friend David Oyelowo). In 2016, when he made his directorial debut with the period drama “The Birth of a Nation,” he embodied hope for a new, more-inclusive Hollywood. Then, everything changed. For the past six years, if Parker has been thought of at all, it’s been through the scrim of vaguely disturbing memories: an emerging director whose career was derailed when stories about a rape charge from his college days resurfaced, even though he’d been acquitted. A charismatic actor whose industry and public turned against him when his responses to those stories — rekindled more than a year before the downfall of Harvey Weinstein and the rise of the #MeToo movement — fell lamentably short. An unwitting avatar for famous men who would face their own personal and professional reckonings: initially defensive, then forced — out of self-interest, sincerity or some combination thereof — to contemplate where he went wrong. And, now, a person who a cadre of friends and influential allies believes deserves a second chance. “I’ve watched him become someone I’m even more proud to call my friend now than six years ago,” Oyelowo says. “Even though I believe him when he says he didn’t do what he was accused of, I think it’s pretty clear he put himself in a situation that was very compro- After Nate Parker’s film career imploded PHILIP CHEUNG FOR THE WASHINGTON POST Bard meets ‘Broadcast News’ in reprise of ‘Much Ado’ BY P ETER M ARKS Double acts are nothing new to the stage. But how about the wild, transatlantic one-two punch that Simon Godwin, artistic director of Washington’s Shakespeare Theatre Company, is attempting to deliver? In August, Godwin was at London’s National Theatre, where he unveiled a production of Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” with a British cast. He set it in the 1930s, at a hotel on the Italian Riviera. Two months later, Godwin was in Washington, working on the same play, this time with an American cast. Only now, “Much Ado” takes place in a contemporary television newsroom in the nation’s capital — where it has its official opening at Sidney Harman Hall on Nov. 15. It takes a moment for this rare and improbable turn of events to sink in: one director for two distinct “Much Ados,” one after the other. Shifting geography and epoch has become the norm for Shakespearean productions. Still, facing the limits of time and career opportunity, directors can find it hard to whip up SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY Rick Holmes as Benedick and Kate Jennings Grant as Beatrice in Simon Godwin’s version of “Much Ado About Nothing” set in contemporary D.C. even one inspired version of a canonical play. But to try to create two? No one is more cognizant of this unusual happenstance than Godwin, who with “Much Ado” gets his first chance to originate a Shake- speare production in Washington since his arrival in 2020. (He directed a “Timon of Athens” that year, but it ran at Brooklyn’s Theater for a New Audience before moving to STC’s Klein Theatre.) The pandemic shutdown upended Godwin’s original plan — to produce the D.C.-newsroom-based “Much Ado” in the Harman in spring 2020. In fact, the Washington “Much Ado” was on Godwin’s drawing board long before the National Theatre also asked him to direct the play. “I mean, it’s such a funny, topsyturvy journey, because I’d been working on the Washington version for so long,” Godwin said. “So then, before doing that, to come up with a second production in a very different way? And to do that one first? It was a kind of, yeah, unusual.” The challenge offered a director a remarkable experiment in the malleability of Shakespeare’s art — and an exploration of his own imaginative skills. The assignment required him to lead each cast through rehearsals with a commitment to a distinct vision of the play. And it would call on Godwin to respond as freshly and inventively to actors in Washington as in London. “I said to him the other day,” recalled Kate Jennings Grant, who SEE THEATER ON E4 SEE PARKER ON E11 INSIDE Matisse soared in 1930s E8 MUSIC: Jewish refugees’ unearthed 1945 operetta to be performed for the second time ever in Upstate New York E2

They testified at a congressional hearing. And they wrote and performed an operetta sharing their story. The score and libretto of “The Golden Cage” soon disappeared. Decades later, a historian tracked them down. This weekend, for the first time since 1945, the operetta is being performed. “We feel that this is incredibly significant,” said Marilynn Smiley, president of Oswego Opera Theater, which is producing the operetta, noting that the issues it raised about how the country treats refugees remain relevant. Antisemitic and anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States ran deep in the lead-up to World War II, and strict immigration quotas blocked most Jews fleeing Europe. In the most notorious incident, in 1939, the government refused to admit Jewish refugees on the German liner St. Louis; the ship was forced to return to Europe, where more than 250 of the passengers were killed in the Holocaust. In 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the War Refugee Board. Its staff — initially tasked, among other things, with getting other countries to help refugees fleeing Nazi persecution — convinced Roosevelt that the United States should take some of the refugees, partly to encourage other countries to do more. The country would ultimately accept just 982 refugees outside of the quota system. They came from 18 countries, and nearly all of them were Jewish. To house them, Roosevelt announced the establishment of an emergency refugee shelter at Fort Ontario in Oswego, N.Y., on the shore of Lake Ontario. “These people definitely felt like they were being rescued,” said Rebecca Erbelding, a historian at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. But it wasn’t so simple. The refugees would be guests of Roosevelt with no legal immigration status. All had to sign documents agreeing to return to Europe when the war ended. They boarded a troopship in Italy and, after dodging U-boats, arrived in New York in August. They traveled by train to Fort Ontario and settled into barracks. They were confined to the U.S. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM PHOTOS ABOVE: European refugees attend a welcome ceremony in 1944, the day they arrived at Fort Ontario in Oswego, N.Y.

People in the community generally embraced their new neighbors. Refugees attended the local school and college. Adults weren’t allowed to work outside the shelter, but many busied themselves learning English and taking classes. They began publishing a weekly newspaper. But they remained in limbo. After the war ended, some refugees voluntarily returned home. But many had relatives in the United States, and most wanted to stay. Months after fighting in Europe had stopped, the government still couldn’t decide what to do, said Paul Lear, manager of Fort Ontario State Historic Site. Congressional hearings failed to resolve the issue. “There was still no word of their fate, and everyone was very depressed,” Lear said. Local officials and many prominent figures, including Eleanor Roosevelt, lobbied to let the refugees stay. Among the refugees were accomplished musicians and composers. They had organized several choirs and an orchestra in Oswego and performed concerts, plays and operas. They decided to write an operetta as a dramatic plea for their freedom. It detailed their escape of the Holocaust, their journey to the United States and their lives at the shelter in Oswego as well as their hatred of confinement. Composer Charles Abeles wrote the music, and artist Miri- am Sommerburg wrote the text. Abeles had been an orchestra conductor near Vienna before being arrested and leaving Austria. Sommerburg was a prominent artist before fleeing Germany. The original ending of “The Golden Cage,” written in November 1945, depicted misera- ble refugees trapped like birds in a golden cage, Lear said. In late December, the Fort Ontario refugees learned that President Harry S. Truman’s directive to prioritize refugees in the nation’s immigration quota system would include them, allowing them to gain legal immigration status. “And the refugees are all elated, and that’s how ‘The Golden Cage’ gets dropped,” Lear said. “They don’t have time to finish it.” The refugees began leaving Fort Ontario within weeks and didn’t have time to put on a regular production. Instead the actors and singers read and sang their parts to the accompaniment of a piano. The operetta was performed on New Year’s Eve with a hastily added new finale incorporating the good news about their fate. The operetta then receded into obscurity. Smiley, a retired SUNY Oswego music professor, began researching the music of the shelter refugees years ago. She scoured archival collections, sifting through boxes of documents, but found only passing references to “The Golden Cage.” In 2009, she connected with a visitor to the Safe Haven Holocaust Refugee Shelter Museum in Oswego. The man was from Ger- many and said his uncle, Abeles, had been a refugee. Smiley learned that after leaving Fort Ontario, Abeles had returned to Austria, stopping briefly in New York City to try to market his trove of musical works. But they were stolen instead. A couple of years later, Smiley received a package in the mail. “Well I opened it and here was all this music of ‘The Golden Cage,’ ” she said. The composer’s nephews had found a rough draft of “The Golden Cage” in one of their attics. “It had almost been forgotten,” she said. “It was in a trunk of some of his belongings.” Smiley began searching archival collections for the text of the operetta, without success. Then she happened to ask Lear if he knew anything about “The Golden Cage.” He soon produced a copy of the text he’d discovered at the National Archives. Smiley wanted Oswego Opera Theater to stage a performance of the operetta, but the music was incomplete. She turned to Juan LaManna, the opera’s artistic director and a SUNY Oswego professor, to fill in the missing parts. “And there were many, many missing parts,” LaManna said. “There were entire sections that had words but had no music and vice versa.” The operetta traces the plight of the refugees, their journey to the United States and their lives in Oswego. The music was written for a piano and singers. LaManna added music for a small orchestra. “It was very exciting to kind of re-create what the score would have been had it been completed,” LaManna said. The goal isn’t to present a historical reenactment of the operetta exactly as it was originally performed, said Benjamin Spierman, stage director for Oswego Opera Theater. A good deal remains unknown about how it was performed, and how the music and text went together. “It was very much a piece of its time telling their story,” he said. “I don’t know that the expectation was that it would have a life more than 70 years later.” Spierman said he and LaManna tried to take the original material and slightly reconstitute it for a modern audience. The central themes raised in the operetta about how the country deals with immigrants and refugees are as relevant today as they were then, he said. “This particular story, both as an American and as a Jew, really has a lot of poignancy for me,” he said. “And so to be able to put it together is really an incredible privilege.” Ken Sturtz is a freelance journalist based in Mexico, N.Y. I N THE GA L L ER IES Artist’s clean, clinical depictions of the impact of gun violence pack a wallop BY M ARK J ENKINS In 1971, performance artist Chris Burden had himself shot in his left shoulder. It’s unlikely that any conceptualist will ever address American gun culture more viscerally than that, but Robert Buck has come close. His Von Ammon Co. show, “Wound Filler,” demonstrates the effects of pointblank 12-gauge shotgun blasts into cylinders of the modeling compound used by embalmers to reconstruct damaged flesh. The voids blown through the waxy material are monuments in reverse to firearm victims, whose ranks have grown substantially since Buck made these pieces from 2004 to 2006. If the holes at their centers are inherently catastrophic, the seven sculptures are otherwise quiet. Each tube of dried filler, in a variety of corporeal hues, sits atop one or more white plastic buckets and inside a sealed transparent vitrine. The blasted assemblages look like art objects and medical specimens, clinically detached from the brutality that made them. Also included is a candle, complete with wick, that was cast as a positive impression of one of the shotgun gashes, and a sort-of drawing made by firing a shot through an artist’s sketch pad. The top sheet of paper was left with a bloom-like design rendered in shades of gray that suggest pencil or charcoal, but are actually gunpowder. Again, the remains of violence are surprisingly tranquil. There’s no blood, viscera or pulverized bone in the sculptures made by the Baltimore-born Buck, who divides his time between New York and Texas. Yet the artist has found a material that, if not actual human fragments, is closely linked to the body. It’s just that instead of repairing corpses, he has used it to simulate fatal devastation. Each of the seven simulated injuries is clean, simple and discrete, but also stands for a larger, and much messier, toll. Dominic Chambers areas of yolky lushness. Fabric seems to express pliable identity in several of the pieces in “Innervisions: Dialogues in Self-Portraiture,” a six-artist show at Brentwood Arts Exchange. A face is just one element in Aliana Grace Bailey’s banner, whose quilted elements suggest a wealth of heritage and connections. In Armando LopezBircann’s video, face and body are covered with digitally animated masks that evoke gender fluidity. One of Holly Bass’s suite of self-images, set in a cotton field to recall her father’s sharecropper past, is printed on gauzy material stretched across a mirror to give a sense of shifting levels. In Carolina Mayorga’s impeccably staged photos, fabric takes the form of costumes she used to reinterpret figures from her Catholic upbringing, such as a pieta that cradles another woman rather than the body of Jesus. Matt Storm’s photos of his nude or near-nude body in vigorous motion include one printed on sheeting that’s folded tightly onto a narrow frame, thus twisting the image like a flexed muscle. Hosna Shahramipoor’s selfportraits are even more pointed — literally. One covers a photo of her face with a thousand (according to the work’s title) needles; another uses pins to spell out “I am not white.” Where the show’s other participants employ materials that are flexible, Shahramipoor prefers ones that are sharp and formidable.

Kirk and Marchand It is Brian Kirk who necessitates the qualifier in “Primarily Abstract,” the title of a two-artist show at Zenith Gallery’s downtown space. Where Anne Marchand’s paintings are entirely abstract, Kirk’s sculptures include some representational pieces, as well as random assemblages that incorporate recognizable (if no longer functional) metal objects. Kirk powder-coats his steel creations, usually in a single, bright color. This gives them a playground vibe, which is reinforced by the Northern Virginia artist’s fabrication of such kid-friendly critters as dinosaurs, an anthropomorphic pea pod and a red-spotted beetle that’s a rare example of a multihued piece. Among the most striking sculptures are ones that appear at once solid and spindly: Its pieces unified by their shared color, “Razzmatazz” uses orbs, curves and mesh to draw a set of jagged red lines in space. The hard-edge arcs of Marchand’s “Harmony” and “Form and Formless” echo Kirk’s style, but most of the D.C. artist’s gestures are soft and fluid. Mixing acrylic and enamel VIVIAN DOERING A work in Robert Buck’s “Wound Filler” exhibit. He uses modeling compound used by embalmers to reconstruct damaged flesh. pigments, the painter renders billowing forms in black, but makes crucial use of white. That color is as much a presence as an absence in Marchand’s pictures, which often feature Innervisions The drama is in the painting, not the subject matter, of Dominic Chambers’s pictures. The Connecticut-based artist, whose “What Makes the Earth Shake” is at Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art, often depicts people reading, pondering or gazing out a window. Yet there’s tension in his work, since he and the figures in his paintings are Black. In the hushed moments the artist depicts, “Black life finds reprieve from the brutal state of emergency that so often describes it,” as Zoe Hopkins writes in her catalogue essay. Another intriguing source of friction in the show, whose title derives from James Baldwin’s 1962 “Letter to My Nephew,” is the dance between realism and abstraction. Chambers’s pictures are representational, yet informed by mid-20th-century art that rejected that approach. Some of the paintings are partly obscured by abstract gestures or overlaid veils of small shapes that resemble leaves or loosely rendered diamonds. Another sign that Chambers isn’t simply painting the visible universe is his depiction of the ephemeral. Ghostly figures sometimes hover in the background, and in one of the most striking pictures, a man’s hand turns translucent as it rests on a windowsill. The view outside is simply of white light, suggesting that the hand is merging with the bright exterior. The person at the window is both secluded from the world and connected to all existence.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ E3 EE Art GREAT WORKS, IN FOCUS Between the lines, a message of morality S EBASTIAN S MEE KIMBELL ART MUSEUM reader trying to steal a ring from a client’s finger. And then came “The Cardsharps” — a sensation. More than 30 copies of the work survive — a sure sign of its impact. The general theme was taken up by scores of subsequent artists. Its purchase by Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, a passionate arts patron, came with an offer for Caravaggio to move into the cardinal’s palace in central Caravaggio (b. 1571) The Cardsharps, c. 1595 On view at Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth Rome. The artist accepted the offer, which exposed him to a whole new level of intellectual and artistic stimulation — and more clients. It changed everything. “The Cardsharps” came into the Kimbell’s collection in 1987 after being lost for 90 years. Conservators knew it was a Caravaggio rather than a copy when they removed the lining and discovered del Monte’s wax seal on the back (although it remains possible that Caravaggio himself painted more than one version). Caravaggio’s stripes are both a formal device and — as fashion always is — a sociological clue. The painting has other such clues: It’s hard not to notice, for instance, that the cardsharps’ outfits are cobbled together, the patterns and color schemes of the doublets and sleeves not matching at all, and that the fingernails Kansas City Ballet Karina Canellakis conducts Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra Cédric Tiberghien plays Ravel The Nutcracker WITH THE KENNEDY CENTER OPERA HOUSE ORCHESTRA Nov. 17 & 19 | Concert Hall Brett Dean: Three Memorials Maurice Ravel: Piano Concerto for the Left Hand Béla Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra “Bursts forth on the stage with its abundance of joy and holiday cheer.” KARINA CANELLAKIS Brett Pruitt -DC METRO THEATER ARTS of the trickster on the right are dirty while the victim’s hands are spotless. But the stripes also function, to my eyes, as a kind of moral principle. Stripes are for bees and wasps and prison inmates. They signal danger, yes — but also an ambiguous moral zone that beguiles us, draws us close. They pulse, they set one another off, they’re just interesting, in a way that naivete is not. It has to be intentional that the one figure who has nothing stripy about him is the innocent, the patsy, the dupe. Steve Payne A series featuring art critic Sebastian Smee’s favorite works in permanent collections across the United States Mari Amita f happiness “writes in white ink on a white page,” as Henry de Montherlant wrote (an aphorism often distilled to “happiness writes white”), drama dresses in stripes. I’m a sucker for the stripes in this early Caravaggio painting. They’re obvious on three items of clothing, and echoed more subtly in the alternating patterns of the feathers and on the backgammon board, and even — when you get close enough — in the dark and light ridges of the central figure’s creased brow. “The Cardsharps” — Caravaggio’s first true masterpiece and one of the jewels of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth — shows two cardsharps trying to trick their well-dressed target at a game of primero (it’s similar to poker). It’s a tidy tableau, but it’s maximally theatrical and full of charged details. The central figure’s fingertips, for instance, are exposed through a tear in his glove, so that he can feel marked cards. He is signaling information about the dupe’s hand to his accomplice, who is meanwhile pulling out a winning card from behind his back. There’s clearly a moral warning here. But whose side was Caravaggio on? And whose should we be on? Cardsharps, sometimes known as “correctors of fortune,” were more common in those days, and to some extent they were tolerated. Gamblers knew to be on guard, yet may have delighted in seeing such cheaters succeed against those who were less savvy — especially if they were rich!

E4 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 theater SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY PHOTOS A Shakespeare comedy gets a contemporary twist THEATER FROM E1 plays Beatrice in D.C., “ ‘Simon, I just have to say that, and I mean it as a compliment, I would never know that you directed this play before.’ And then we both burst out laughing.” “Much Ado About Nothing” is of course about something — the bittersweet battle of wits between two prideful, headstrong combatants, Beatrice and Benedick, who are desperately in love and are the only ones who don’t know it. It’s a piquant romantic comedy that takes a disturbing turn: a subplot unfolding around another couple, Hero and her fiance, Claudio, in which an accusation of sexual betrayal is maliciously drummed up. The British-born Godwin could have saved himself time and energy by producing the same version twice. Instead, the less possessive attitude about Shakespeare he’s encountered on these shores bolstered his instinct to try something different. “Like all of those comedies, it comes freighted with such an expectation of history,” he said, of “Much Ado.” “But one thing I found in Washington very strongly is this release from history. The fact that people in Washington, they haven’t seen it three times in the last 12 months.” (His London “Much Ado,” which ended a month-long engagement in September, was running there at the same time as another “Much Ado,” at Shakespeare’s Globe.) “I’ve really experienced what I’d hope to find in America,” Godwin added, “which is an open space to re-meet plays afresh.” In a recent rehearsal at Shakespeare Theatre’s offices on Capitol Hill, the actors in his American “Much Ado” were putting the play on its feet for the first time. In this 21st-century version, Beatrice and Benedick (played by Rick Holmes) are co-anchors on SNN — the Shakespeare News Network, of course. Hero (Nicole King) is the sportscaster and Claudio (Paul Deo Jr.) is the weatherman, and they have their own flirty studio thing going on. Emily Burns, the show’s dramaturge, has written Bard-centric news items for the SNN team to read, such as this “Macbeth” riff: “Climate change activists have responded with protests and blockades after Birnam Wood had been completely uprooted overnight.” If Godwin’s stylish London version had the continental look and feel of a movie like “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” the Washington production seemed to be headed TOP: Jesse Kovarsky, Joey Blakely and director Simon Godwin, seated, in rehearsal for “Much Ado About Nothing,” set in a TV newsroom in D.C. ABOVE: Shakespeare News Network coanchors Rick Holmes (Benedick) and Kate Jennings Grant (Beatrice). “The idea of the deadline of a broadcast, something the characters have to do, felt very appealing,” Godwin said. “I think there’s a link between the momentous and the erotic … that if you’ve got these two people doing something on a deadline … it creates a chemistry which can then bloom into something else.” in the direction of “Broadcast News.” “He’s got an incredibly infectious, energetic temperament, which is wonderful to have on a play like ‘Much Ado,’ ” said John Heffernan, who played Benedick in the National Theatre production. “It’s quite frightening at times because he’s very bold in his decision-making. To say, ‘Right, we’re going to sit in a ‘Grand Budapest’-style hotel. We’re going to a newsroom.’ You know, he commits and he’s fearless.” For the actors in the Washington “Much Ado” — some of whom were cast more than two years ago — there was a possibility that Godwin would no longer have the head space for novel approaches to the play. “I don’t feel from him this sense of ‘Let me just tell you what works here,’ ” Holmes said in a joint interview with the SNN news team: Grant, King and Deo. “I think he’s studiously trying to avoid that. Nevertheless, there are little nuggets from him that have you thinking, ‘Well, he probably knows what he’s talking about.’ ” Godwin envisioned the newscast as “a context that creates chemistry.” And chemistry is the essence of “Much Ado.” In the London production, Heffernan and Katherine Parkinson, as Beatrice, could not avoid each other amid the posh exclusivity of a Jazz Age European resort; a tense Washington newsroom might raise the comic temperature even higher. “The idea of the deadline of a broadcast, something the characters have to do, felt very appealing,” the director said. “I think there’s a link between the momentous and the erotic, that if you’ve got these two people doing something on a deadline, rather than just being onstage with somebody, it creates a chemistry which can then bloom into something else.” In the Washington rehearsal room, Godwin jumped up, jumped in, offered funny asides, rattled off thoughts, listened to suggestions, laughed often — all to encourage the actors to extract the play from their heads and push it into their bodies. “Let’s try to stitch together the moments from where we began yesterday,” he said. A jovial scene unfolded involving Edward Gero, an STC veteran cast as Leonato, the newscast’s executive producer; Carlo Albán’s mischievous Don Pedro; and Deo’s Claudio, as the director coaxed them all into a display of locker-room camaraderie. Other actors came up with bits of stage business in another scene, detailing the moments before the evening SNN newscast went live. “Oh, a lint roller’s good!” Godwin declared as an actor playing a newsroom assistant fetched one to spruce up the anchor team. “I think the pleasure here is in these quick gear changes.” For Godwin, the pleasure, too, is in how extra-prepared he feels, working with a text he now knows doubly well. “As I return now to the world of the media with the play, I discover in fact that it is so robustly bright — not consistently bright, but ultimately optimistic,” he said. “And that the world of the media is far from closing down humor and wit and joy. In fact, it can channel it, in a very immediate way.” Much Ado About Nothing, by William Shakespeare. Directed by Simon Godwin. Nov. 11-Dec. 11 at Harman Hall, 610 F St. NW. shakespearetheatre.org.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST PG E5 EE Groom’s jokes about selection of best man are hurtful to best friend Ask Amy Dear Amy: I’m a 28-year-old man. My best friend from childhood, “Kenneth,” recently AMY got engaged. I couldn’t be DICKINSON happier for him. Kenneth has decided that I won’t be his best man in the wedding. His future bride’s brother, “Bart,” will be. When he told me about this, I was a little hurt; although I quickly got over myself. I know that his wedding is not about me. Then, a few weeks later, Kenneth and I went out to dinner. We all laughed and joked and had a wonderful time, until Kenneth made a joke about me being the “best man” but Bart the “better man” (because he had chosen him over me). I laughed a little to play along, but honestly this hurt me deeply. Kenneth and I have talked many times about what a jerk Bart is. He’s rude, ungrateful, spoiled and entitled. He is also a womanizer. I tried to forget about this silly remark, but it has now been repeated several times, not just by Kenneth, but by other members of the bridal party. Even though it’s always said with a laugh and meant as a harmless joke, it bothers me more and more. I just chuckle along because I know this wedding isn’t about me and I don’t want to cause any sort of drama. The wedding is still several months away, but I don’t know if I can take hearing this “joke” anymore. Am I overreacting? Or should I privately mention this to Kenneth? I know he didn’t mean to hurt me, but I’m not even quite sure why he made the joke in the first place. Do you think this is something worth discussing with him, and if so, how should I approach it without causing any drama? Or, again, am I just overreacting? — Bothered in the Bridal Party Bothered: There is no need for you to continue to second-guess your own reaction to this comment. It was fairly tasteless and unkind the first time you heard it, and it is not improving with repetition. My instinct is that “Kenneth” is trying to paper over the fact that he passed you over for the honor of being his best man, while still acknowledging that he did so — “owning” it with an unfunny pun. I assume that as time goes by, you might actually be relieved not to be hosting this friend’s bachelor party. (Talk about dodging a mojito!) I suggest that you confront this by playing “dumb.” You could say to Kenneth: “This best man/better man thing. I don’t get it. What’s that about? I mean — are you trying to tell me something?” And then — you wait. He will sputter and guffaw. When he’s done, you can say, “Well, it’s not really funny, it embarrasses me, I don’t like it, and I wish you would stop.” Dear Amy: My husband and I married on Christmas Day. He died on a Memorial Day weekend eight years later. Despite the passage of time, this remains a difficult season. What makes it extremely hard is the forced cheerfulness of the season. While I try to smile and respond in kind, it’s exhausting. Being chided by strangers for not exhibiting the proper holiday spirit is frustrating. Demoralizing. Depressing. I don’t want the charity of strangers or to try to graft myself onto someone else’s family gathering; I find serenity in being alone. I just wish I could get others to stop forcing their interpretation of Christmas down my throat. All I want for Christmas this year is for others to remember that this is a difficult time for so many people in this country, from the working poor to the homeless who will crowd into shelters and soup kitchens. So please don’t insist others join in your celebration, and please don’t label that woman in the checkout lane a “Scrooge” for not being “full of good cheer”; you have no clue what struggles she may be going through. — Still Grieving in Jacksonville, Fla.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ E7 EE Kids of son’s girlfriend ruffle parents’ feathers Dear Carolyn: We raised our granddaughter, now 8, for three months when covid came. Carolyn Then our son’s Hax girlfriend came along with two kids. To our son’s girlfriend it was okay for a while, our visiting with just our granddaughter, but not now that they’re two years together. Our granddaughter was raised to know politeness. She knows her table manners. My son’s girlfriend’s kids, 9 and 7, are destructive, rough around the edges, and horribly piggy when it comes to table manners. They literally eat with their hands. To eat a piece of pizza, both of them resort to grabbing the piece of pizza with their whole hand and then shoving it in their face. They also take their other hand and pick at said piece of pizza. On top of that, they take that second hand and wipe their face with it, now smearing pizza all over their face. When guided to use a fork or a spoon, they try for a bite or two and then say they aren’t hungry anymore, clearly because they don’t want to suffer through eating with a utensil and getting asked, prodded, and insisted several times to do so. The boy is destructive and touches and picks up things inside and outside the house with the intention of destroying or breaking them. The girl is a glom and runs around yelling and screaming. She demands the same attention that our granddaughter gets when Grampy is having a conversation and lap time. It is difficult to teach our granddaughter things when the girl is a complete distraction to our granddaughter. Why should our granddaughter be robbed of this special relationship just because, all of a sudden, Dad got together with a girlfriend who has two other kids? We really want our granddaughter to have a special relationship with us and continue as the kind, soft, wellmannered child she is. — Frustrated Loving Grandparents Frustrated Loving Grandparents: I want world peace and a castle. But I have to live in the world I’ve got. You have the same limits, and the sooner you accept that, the happier everyone in this story will be. That means finding a way to be grandparents to whatever children are in whatever your son defines as his family. You may not like: NICK GALIFIANAKIS FOR THE WASHINGTON POST · The girlfriend. · Her kids. · Their manners. · Your son’s decision to blend these two families. · The added work of two more kids. And you are free to feel what you feel and think what you want. Yours are real concerns and I am sympathetic. However, they are also a combination of “not up to you” and “best not acted upon.” Since the former is selfexplanatory, I’ll focus on the latter. All three kids have had even less say in this arrangement than you have. The ill-behaved ones also didn’t decide to have whatever experiences they had, whatever guidance they (never) received, and whatever wiring they were born with to produce the challenges they face. (Certainly no kid wants untreated fine-motor issues, which sound possible from your talk of dodged utensils and broken objects.) So when I read your account of how the nurtured child on “Grampy’s” lap suffers the corrupting side effects of those nuisance children and their unmet needs, I want to bleeping cry. You, because you are on the scene and because you are here asking — the wrong question, but still — have a chance to be one of the adults who does right MIKE DU JOUR BY MIKE LESTER by these kids. All of them. You can help the less socialized two by recognizing all children deserve not only to be valued and cherished, but also warmly taught. We could stop here. This is everything. You can also help your “real” granddaughter, though, by modeling generosity, flexibility, patience, maturity and love whenever you interact with what is now her family. Currently you are teaching her … well, not these things. As a bonus, you can help your son by not pulling against the blending process. They have enough natural obstacles without your adding your contempt to the mix. “Piggy”? Sweet sobbing deities. You can also help the world, no exaggeration. Struggling kids are either everyone’s responsibility now or everyone’s problem later. And because there’s no more powerful motive than a selfish one, you can help yourselves, too, by resisting the lure of the easy thing — “visiting with just our granddaughter” — and pushing through to the compassionate work of being present for all these children, just because they’re children. For one, you won’t tax your son’s patience to the point you’re no longer welcome. More important, you’ll be better people for it. As these kids warm to the more hospitable environment you help create for them, you’ll feel better for it, too. When no one else is around — and I mean no one within an acre of earshot — sure, you can howl about the weight and injustice of this added work. It will be hard. No illusions here. But then come back to your son and his family ready to be family. Because no child deserves to feel like extra, unwanted work. Write to Carolyn Hax at tellme@washpost.com.

E8 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2022 EZ E9 EE art MUSÉE DE L'ORANGERIE/SUCCESSION H. MATISSE/ARTISTS RIGHTS SOCIETY, NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART/SUCCESSION H. MATISSE/ARTISTS RIGHTS SOCIETY (ARS), NEW YORK CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK ‘Matisse in the 1930s’ exhibition o≠ers profound beauty haunted by history BY S EBASTIAN S MEE IN PHILADELPHIA C ivilization had a total breakdown in the 1930s, which also happened to be the decade when Henri Matisse became most himself. “Matisse in the 1930s,” a groundbreaking exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, presents this miraculous, joyous phenomenon — a great artist, having just turned age 60, fully coming into his own. But the spectacle is haunted by history. If you want to try to reconcile Matisse’s stream of gorgeous, life-enhancing inventions in those years with the Great Depression, the rise of fascism, civil war in Spain, the Nazis’ demonization of modern art (including Matisse’s) as “degenerate,” the state-sponsored persecution of Jews and the terrifying buildup to the Holocaust, you might as well fold your cards. It is not possible. You can only remind yourself that Matisse was not in control of world events. In fact, he was barely in control of himself. His intense susceptibility to visual beauty and his acute artistic intelligence had made him, in the eyes of many, a radical. He had spent most of his career out on a ledge, blasted by the high winds of public mockery. But he was a father, a family man, a good citizen, and he yearned for sympathy and respect. Ledges are lonely places. So for more than a decade, beginning in late 1917, Matisse stepped back from the precipice. He moved from Paris to Nice. He painted smaller canvases — nudes and interiors influenced by Impressionism and Orientalism — modeling spaces and volumes with perspective lines and shifts in tone. I personally adore the work that emerged from Matisse’s “Nice period.” But there is no denying that, by the end of the 1920s, Matisse was becoming repetitive. He was creatively blocked. “In front of the canvas,” he wrote to his daughter, “I have no ideas whatever.” He needed to up the ante. “Matisse in the 1930s,” which was organized by Matthew Affron, Cécile Debray and Claudine Grammont, shows us exactly how he did that. It is the most important Matisse exhibition in America for many years. Matisse was extraordinary in every phase of his career. But it was not until the 1930s that he successfully integrated all the aspects of his originality — in conception, drawing, color, treatment of space, emotional register. In the process he achieved a kind of mastery. The struggle was unrelenting. But everything that followed, right up to the late paper cutouts and the chapel in Vence, would be a kind of playing out of that mastery. The decade began with three key developments. The first was a series of Matisse retrospectives, all staged consecutively in 1930-31 in Berlin; Paris; Basel, Switzerland; and New York. Retrospectives were rare in those days. Four in two years was unprecedented and a clear sign that the world was catching up with the French artist. He was, as art historian Éric de Chassey writes in the catalogue, “incontestably one of the best-selling and most respected artists of his time.” “Retrospection” means looking back, thinking about the past. But what Matisse drew from these four retrospectives was that he wanted to look forward. “He wanted to be an artist who opened a path rather than closed it,” writes de Chassey, “a pioneer rather than an inheritor.” The Impressionist space and atmosphere of his Nice period pictures was the past. He needed to leave it behind. The second key development was travel. In February 1930, Matisse traveled to New York, then proceeded by deluxe train to Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco, before crossing the Pacific Ocean by ship to Tahiti. He made almost no art during this trip. But he absorbed everything. His mind and heart were refreshed. The third was a commission from Albert Barnes, the American collector and evangelist for modern art. Barnes wanted Matisse to adorn the arched walls of the main gallery in his foundation in Merion, a suburb of Philadelphia. So on a second trip to America that same year, Matisse went there. Relations with Barnes would later become fraught. But the commission, the results of which you can see for yourself if you walk 10 minutes down the road to the relocated Barnes Foundation, allowed him to advance and deepen his conception of the “decorative.” Matisse was focused on distillation in these years. He wanted to marry a sense of voluptuous sensuality with order and elegance — the Dionysian with the Apollonian. The first step was to flatten out the space in his pictures. Flattening the picture (as he had done in his pre-Nice paintings) implied giving negative and positive space equal weight. Negative space could now take on a more active role. More specifically, Matisse understood that if he wanted to combine a sense of living, breathing expansion with harmonious order, he would need to distort the contours and proportions of his figures until they were in just the right relationship with the space around them. I have not mentioned color. But of course, it was all about color. One basic thing Matisse had realized was that color intensity was a function of size. A large area of blue was not just a larger area of blue, it was more intensely blue. That put it in a different relationship with the areas of color around it. You can think of Matisse’s sophisticated, intuitive approach to color in terms of barometric pressure: He orchestrated areas of high pressure (smaller color areas, more visible brushstrokes and contour lines, more frequent alternations) with low pressure (larger, airier expanses of pure, unmodulated color) until he had balanced calm and turbulence, order and sensuality in just the right way. The Philadelphia show kicks off with a prologue — a smattering of Nice period works, including the busily patterned “Odalisque With Grey Trousers” and the ravishing “Woman With a Veil.” Both accentuate background colors and shapes over the central subject, offering a preview of what was to come. The next section examines the Barnes mural and a commission to illustrate a book of Stéphane Mallarmé’s poems. Subsequent galleries focus on Matisse’s easel paintings; his painted tapestry cartoons; pictures of his assistant and model, Lydia Delectorskaya; his collaboration with Léonide Massine and the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo; and the suites of drawings he made, in theme-and-variation mode, after an operation for abdominal cancer in January 1941. The individual paintings, drawings and sculptures — it goes without saying — are insanely, almost unconscionably beautiful. But what makes ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO/SUCCESSION H. MATISSE/ARTISTS RIGHTS SOCIETY, NEW YORK MUSEUM OF MODERN ART/SUCCESSION H. MATISSE ARTISTS RIGHTS SOCIETY, NEW YORK Henri Matisse’s “Nice period”: “Odalisque With Grey Trousers,” top, and “Woman With a Veil,” above. Both of these 1920s works are oil on canvas and accentuate background colors and shapes over the central subject. the unfurling phenomenon of Matisse’s career so compelling is the struggle — or what the Greeks called “agon.” In Greek theater, the “agon” describes the tension between the protagonist and the antagonist which, never reconciled, leads ineluctably to tragedy. (Ineluctable means “not to be escaped by struggling.”) You can find analogies for this “agon” in the tension in Matisse’s paintings between positive and negative space (with neither getting the upper hand) or, more broadly, in Matisse’s attempts to balance the Apollonian with the Dionysian. But there was also — as there is today — a contest between Matisse’s harmonious, beautiful vision and the political sphere, with its ever-deepening rancor, ugliness and strife. The two things could not be reconciled. Nor could they be kept apart: Matisse’s beloved daughter, Marguerite, was tortured and interrogated by the Gestapo for her work with the French Resistance. She narrowly escaped death, unlike millions of others. Matisse is profound. This show is sensationally beautiful. But just as Matisse worked hard to activate the negative space in his 1930s works, something about our present-day politics activates the historical background to this exhibition. I barely thought about it while I was in the exhibition, but in retrospect, there is something truly tragic about the apotheosis of so great an artist coinciding with baseness and barbarity on such a vast scale.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ E11 EE Movies Parker’s redemption script out to the jury PARKER FROM E1 mised, was not morally right, was not protective of [his accuser], and these are all things he can see clearly now.” Parker insists that his understanding of guilt and innocence has evolved. “In my 42-year-old understanding, I can say without hesitation that, while I’m innocent of any criminal charges or acts, I can’t say that I didn’t do anything morally wrong,” he says. But to some observers, his account of personal growth does not reflect the self-awareness necessary for true accountability. “I’m not sure Nate Parker deserves this platform,” says Sharon Loeffler, the older sister of Parker’s accuser. “This is nothing but a distraction, and it takes away from what we should really be talking about, which is overwhelming disdain for women being at an all-time high.” Oyelowo, who has made Parker’s public rehabilitation something of a personal cause in recent years, initiated this exclusive interview, an invitation that was accepted only after Parker agreed that no conditions would be imposed and nothing would be offlimits. This is not a comeback story. It’s not a story about resolution or redemption. This is a story about someone in the middle of a process that, even at its most imperfect and unfinished, illuminates crucial questions facing Hollywood — and society at large — as people accused of past harms have been identified, called out and marginalized. Among those questions is whether there can ever be a path back and whether there should be a path back. If so, who decides what it should look like and when it’s complete? And then there’s the most vexing question of all: When someone says they’ve changed, how can we know it’s genuine? Regret and embarrassment It’s difficult to overstate the initial rapturous reception of “The Birth of a Nation.” Parker’s film, about Nat Turner and the rebellion of enslaved people he led in 1831, had been a sensation at Sundance in January 2016, with Fox Searchlight paying a record $17.5 million for what the studio considered a surefire Oscar contender. The movie had electrified movie-industry insiders, who saw it as a much-needed corrective in the aftermath of the #OscarsSoWhite campaign aimed at exposing Hollywood’s racist and exclusionary culture. The following summer, as the Oscar push for “The Birth of a Nation” was starting in earnest, stories began to circulate about an episode from Parker’s past. In 1999, when he was a sophomore at Pennsylvania State University, Parker was accused of raping an 18-year-old freshman while she was intoxicated and allegedly unconscious. His friend and wrestling teammate, Jean McGianni Celestin, who would go on to share a story credit on “The Birth of a Nation,” was accused of assaulting the young woman along with Parker. Parker, who had had consensual sex with the woman before the incident, was found not guilty by a jury after being represented by a public defender. Celestin was found guilty, but his conviction was overturned on appeal and he was not retried. Their accuser later sued Penn State, saying it did not adequately protect her from the harassment and intimidation she said she suffered at the PHILIP CHEUNG FOR THE WASHINGTON POST After a rape accusation from his college days derailed his Hollywood career, Nate Parker says he is a better person. Some believe him; others remain unconvinced. hands of Parker and Celestin; the university settled for $17,500. (Celestin could not be reached for comment.) Parker responded to questions about the case during a VirginianPilot interview about “The Great Debaters.” As Washington Post reporter Elahe Izadi noted in 2016, the unsealed 1999 case was referred to on Parker’s Wikipedia page long before “The Birth of a Nation” made its debut. But, as the 2016 awards season got underway, more graphic and troubling details resurfaced, with a tragic postscript: Parker’s accuser had taken her own life in 2012, after a downward spiral that some of her family members have said started with her 1999 encounter with Parker and Celestin. When Parker heard of his accuser’s death, he expressed condolences in a Facebook post; just days earlier, he had conducted interviews with the trade outlets Variety and Deadline in an effort to address his past. But rather than grappling with that past honestly and self-critically, Parker was seen by many as alternately evasive, egotistical and manipulative. (He took his then-6-year-old daughter to one interview.) “[E]verything he says and does troubles me,” Roxane Gay wrote in the New York Times, referring to Parker’s habit of referring to the 1999 episode as a “painful moment” in his life. “Most of what he has to say about that ‘painful moment’ involves how he felt, how he was affected. The solipsism is staggering.” Parker says he looks back at that period with “regret and embarrassment,” and adds, “So much JAHI CHIKWENDIU/KOBAL/SHUTTERSTOCK Parker starred as Nat Turner in “The Birth of a Nation,” which he also wrote and directed. After much initial enthusiasm, the film made only $15 million at the box office and received no Oscar nominations. of that environment was new, and unpredictable. I was struggling daily to understand what was happening.” He takes one of what will be several long pauses. “I thought in those moments, ‘Why can’t anyone empathize with me?’ Only to realize, as I’ve gone through this journey, that I had no empathy for those I had triggered, or survivors around the world that expected more, some of them my fans. Or my accuser.” The word “journey” will come up often over the course of a 21/2hour interview and a nearly onehour follow-up. It’s Parker’s word for an experience that started in 2017 as a quest for answers, but one he claims has deepened into something more meaningful and transformative. “The first wave was personal introspection, and then the second wave … was how to be intentional about doing something about my wrong behavior,” he says. “If I believed the way I approached [that behavior] was wrong, then what was I going to do to try to fix it?” ‘He became radioactive’ “The Birth of a Nation” limped through its theatrical release during the fall of 2016, earning mixedto-positive reviews and a modest $15 million at the box office. Meanwhile, the debates surrounding Parker became a flash point for discussions of campus sexual assault, what constitutes agency and consent, separating art from the artist, and the complicated historical intersection of racism and sexism. The movie received no Oscar nominations. By the spring of 2017, Parker was at home, where, he says, “it got very quiet.” “He had become almost entirely isolated,” recalls Oyelowo, who has been close with Parker since they starred together in 2012’s “Red Tails.” “People who he had called friends or thought of as friends, desperate not to be caught on the wrong side of this, stopped calling. He became radioactive.” With the phone that had rung incessantly now silent, Parker had little choice but to set career concerns aside and ruminate on his mistakes. He called Oyelowo and asked, “What do I do now?” Oyelowo had one answer: “I said, ‘Let’s go sit down with some people who I know will take my call, and let’s just go and listen.’ ” The first person they contacted was Octavia Spencer, with whom they met for two hours at her home. The Oscar-winning actress “was very open and generous and forthright with her opinion,” Oyelowo says. “She expressed having been disappointed in some of what she saw [from Nate] but, as I anticipated … within those two hours, she saw Nate for who he actually is, as opposed to what had been projected into the world through sound bites and headlines.” (Spencer confirmed the meeting but did not respond to The Post’s requests for an interview.) All of those early conversations were with women, Parker recalls, many of whom felt betrayed and upset by his indignant and selfprotective stance during the “Birth of a Nation” rollout. “I began to understand that some of SEE PARKER ON E12
E12 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Movies PARKER FROM E11 that anger [in 2016] was rooted in my silencing of [women] and their trauma,” he says. “I wasn’t thinking about who outside myself was being impacted by [my words], or feeling silenced.” As Parker continued to pursue conversations, he saw that “a great majority of the people I was speaking to were survivors themselves,” he says. “I realized this is much closer to me than I anticipated. And then I started talking to people in my family, and realizing that there are people … very close to me that had experienced sexual assault, rape, violence. And the more I learned, the more I felt responsible. The more I felt ashamed.” In 2018, Parker began consulting with an educator and activist who works in gender and racial justice and the prevention of violence against women. Through that individual, as well as his church, Parker contacted organizations in the Los Angeles area that work with victims of human trafficking, as well as domestic abuse and sexual violence. “You don’t just walk through the doors of these places and say, ‘Sit me down with survivors,’ ” he says. “What actually happens, or what happened with me, was there was a series of conversations, or visiting sites where there are no survivors — until you realize that the very people who are touring you around are survivors themselves.” As he listened to the women’s stories, Parker says, lessons sank in “about the importance of bodily autonomy and selfdetermination, and what happens to people when those things are taken away from them. You hear about the disconnection from the world and relationships, and in some instances the disconnection from themselves.” He began to make connections between his behavior as a 19-yearold and the stories he was hearing from survivors, he said. “When I think back to my 19-year-old self … I absolutely see how [the] rules around what is masculine, and what is acceptable and what is encouraged, create destructive environments,” he says. “When I think about what I would tell my 19-year-old self, I’d say, ‘Reject those rules.’ ” Gradually, Parker began to offer his services as a volunteer with the organizations he had visited. “It’s not like a soup line,” he explains. “You email or text and say, ‘Is there anything that I can come and support, or anything I can do?’ ” His work, he says, “almost always involves funding.” Last month, Parker hosted a dinner at his home to help raise funds and awareness for a nonprofit organization that provides support and housing for survivors of human trafficking. At other times, he has collected “clothing or furniture, whatever can be done to create safe spaces for people. A lot of survivors have had to deal with foster care, have had to deal with a family dynamic that has either been nonexistent or broken apart.” Social impact strategist Jotaka Eaddy, whose friendship with Parker started when they both volunteered for Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign and deepened when she worked for former NAACP president and CEO Ben Jealous, says she has seen “a lot of growth and evolution” in Parker in the past six years. “What I appreciate most about Nate has been his willingness to learn, his willingness to ask hard questions and, most importantly, be open to hard truths,” she says. “And he did it not for any gain but to be a better human.” Men have a role to play As compelling as Parker’s story is, certain aspects are impossible to corroborate: The educator/activist and organizations he says he’s been working with insist on remaining anonymous, to maintain privacy for their organizations, staff and the survivors with DAVID BUKACH From left: Nate Parker, David Oyelowo and Jimmie Fails on the set of “Solitary.” Oyelowo has worked to help Parker repair his image. whom they work. Several times over the course of two interviews, Parker goes off the record, afraid that he’ll be seen as virtue signaling or sounding like a victim, but also concerned he’ll inadvertently destroy the trust he’s built. “One of the first things that was made clear to me with these organizations was that they were not interested in something that would be used to exploit them,” he says. “Until I’m asked publicly by one of these organizations, I will respect to the T their wishes. I will operate in such a way that I am invisible, outside of how I can be of service.” Told of Parker’s volunteer work, Shaunna Thomas, a founder and the executive director of the domestic abuse survivors advocacy group UltraViolet, notes that “it’s exceedingly rare that we see people who have engaged in harmful behavior [engage in that work] in a way that isn’t about repositioning themselves for power.” But, she adds, “[t]hat doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen. … It’s good for men, especially, to see that they have a role to play, whether they’ve caused harm or not.” It gets trickier when the focus shifts to the question of accountability, especially as it pertains to the events that brought Parker to this point: the early hours of Aug. 21, 1999, when he and Celestin allegedly assaulted an 18-year-old woman who was too intoxicated to give consent. Parker says that although he was found not guilty, he does not consider himself blameless. “I think there were a number of moral failures when I was 19, [including] that environment that I created, that were wrong,” he says. “And I deeply regret those things.” Pressed about what “those things” were, Parker speaks of his accuser: “I failed her when it came to building her self-esteem, or recognizing in her insecurities that I could have supported her, rather than used those insecurities to … convince her to do things in the relationship that were solely beneficial to me. And I’m sorry for those things.” Parker declines to go into any more detail when it comes to affirmatively stating what he did wrong in 1999, he says out of respect for his accuser’s memory. Although he adds he would like to apologize to her relatives, including for not properly expressing his condolences when he heard she had died, he has not taken steps to contact them. “The last thing I want to do is enter into the lives of her family members and create more pain rather than healing,” he says.

Loeffler believes the decades of stress have culminated in health issues that have left her unable to escape a toxic relationship and gain her independence, much like her sister. And she feels compelled to speak about the collective fallout. “My sister never would have hid,” she says. “She wanted justice and to be heard.” When the person Parker admits that he harmed isn’t here to speak for herself, can there be real accountability? Experts in restorative justice — wherein someone who has been harmed meets with the person who harmed them to receive acknowledgment, validation and an apology — insist that there are options. Alissa Ackerman, a sex crimes expert and a professor of criminal justice at California State University at Fullerton — and a rape survivor herself — has often used a vicarious form of restorative justice when a perpetrator or victim is unable or unwilling to participate. In those sessions, someone who experienced a similar harm volunteers to be a proxy. “We help them name [the harm they caused]; we help them write an actual amends,” Ackerman says of working with perpetrators. Told of Parker’s situation, she says, “I would work for months before he ever sat down with a survivor, and make sure he really understands the work.” Asked whether he thinks a similar process might be useful in addressing the personal moral failings to which he has referred, Parker takes another long pause. “I’d have to think more about the question to give you an answer that’s helpful,” he says. A change in focus Parker has been mostly absent from Hollywood since 2016 — he fired his management and publicity team that year — but managed to direct two more movies. “American Skin,” in which he stars as the father of a victim of a police shooting, premiered in 2019 at the Venice Film Festival, where Spike Lee supported Parker at a news conference for the film. In 2020, Parker made “Solitary,” starring Oyelowo as a former convict reentering society after spending several years in solitary confinement. Parker insists that this interview is not timed to help the film, which has yet to find a distributor. “Who knows what’s going to happen with ‘Solitary’ ”? he says. “And to be honest with you, I only care because of David.” Indeed, Oyelowo seems to be the driving force behind what he clearly hopes will be Parker’s reentry: This year, he took Parker to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Governors Awards dinner and the Oscars ceremony. In July, Eaddy arranged a Zoom meeting between Oyelowo and Parker and a group of African American female leaders to gauge their receptivity to Parker’s story. The 18 women who wound up pledging their support include the experienced political hands and civic leaders Donna Brazile, Minyon Moore, Karen Finney, and the Revs. Leah Daughtry and Bernice King, part of a close-knit network of influential Black women in the worlds of civil rights advocacy, strategic communications and politics. When he met with the women by video link last summer, Parker read an unpublished op-ed in which he expressed regret for his “tone-deaf response and narrow perspective” in 2016. “The change in me over these past years has been in shifting my focus from myself to survivors,” he wrote, saying that as a 19-year-old college student, “I had relationships, particularly with my accuser, that were no doubt psychologically toxic, opportunistic, and self-serving. For this I am incredibly regretful and deeply sorry. You can be innocent of legal wrongdoing and still be wrong.” He also wrote that he has a new understanding of “the dearth of instruction given to college men about how to dignify their even casual relationships with women by unequivocally respecting the importance of fluid consent.” The group was impressed. “I found it very meaningful, and his authenticity made me want to help,” Finney says, adding that everyone on the call was similarly affected. “He’s talented, he’s someone who’s committed to using his art to shine a light on really important issues, and he’s someone who’s trying to be vulnerable and open.” Another woman, a sexual assault survivor who spoke with Parker after she read his op-ed, says she found it significant that Parker acknowledged that “while he may have been acquitted, there are still things he has regrets for. … I think it takes a lot of humility and self-reflection and a lot of personal accountability for someone to admit that they may have made a mistake. You don’t always get to hear that from people who are accused.” Oyelowo says his support of Parker is both professionally and personally motivated. He calls Parker “easily in my top five directors I’ve ever worked with,” and he wants him to be part of Hollywood again. But more important, he says, “I’ve hated to see how much he was struggling, not just finan- cially but emotionally. He would hate me saying this, because he doesn’t want anyone to think he’s looking for sympathy. But it’s been tempestuous. And as a friend, when you see that, you just want it to stop. But the journey had to take the time it needed to take, and now I think he’s beyond ready to be edifying as opposed to erosive.” Few would doubt Oyelowo’s sincerity in coming to the aid of a friend who, he believes, deserves to be redeemed. But few can ignore the fact that Oyelowo happens to star in his friend’s film, which is in need of a distributor. Contradictions are rife in a story that changes with every lens one brings to it: Parker is engaged in a deeply private process of introspection that, once it becomes public, almost immediately becomes suspect as an attempt at career rehabilitation. There are moments, listening to Parker, when the line between good faith and outright credulity feels perilously thin. He is, after all, a good actor. And he has apologized before: in 2016 and, most recently, in Venice in 2019, when he expressed regret, using much of the same language he’s using now. What’s different this time? “Just more learning,” Parker says. “More listening and more hearing. I think that’s going to be the constant, real-time evolution.” Alexandra Brodsky, a civil rights lawyer, the author of “Sexual Justice” and a founder of Know Your IX, a nonprofit organization combating gender violence in schools, says that in some ways, celebrities “are the worst people to sort out these hard questions with” because the public dynamics at play are unique and inapplicable to most people’s lives. In many cases, she adds, repair is effective precisely because it happens quietly and in private. Scott Berkowitz, the founder and president of the ant- VITTORIO ZUNINO CELOTTO/GETTY IMAGES Parker got support from director Spike Lee when Parker’s film “American Skin” screened at Italy’s Venice Film Festival in 2019. i-sexual-violence organization RAINN, says celebrities can be a valuable leaders, especially in educating college students about sexual misconduct and consent. But in Parker’s case, he says, “I don’t know how he becomes a credible spokesperson for others if he still won’t acknowledge and be specific about what he believes he did wrong.” Evaluating Parker’s words and deeds is even more complicated within the current context of public apology and comebacks. On a spectrum that includes Will Smith’s misfire of an apology video after his Oscars slap and Louis C.K. winning a Grammy and going back on tour after admitting to masturbating in front of female colleagues, is it possible to find a form of genuine penance that doesn’t feel performative? Or is a public life a reasonable sacrifice in the name of repair? It’s true that few deserve to be defined by their most grievous errors, especially if they were made at 19. It’s also true that nobody is entitled to money, fame or a green light from a studio. And no one can know the full impact of this country’s racial politics, from the historical use of rape accusations as a weapon of terror against Black men to who gets the benefit of the doubt in Hollywood. Debate around what constitutes authentic contrition “is a sign of how unclear we are as a society, about what it means to take responsibility for something, and what we’re looking for,” says David Karp, the director of the Center for Restorative Justice at the University of San Diego’s School of Leadership and Education Sciences. “What I need to see is just going to be different from what you need to see, and we should honor those differences. But it’s also just a mess, because we have no other references for what accountability means but the punitive model.” “No one said this is going to be easy,” says Brodsky, who agrees that restorative justice is a good model. But, she adds, “[t]his doesn’t end with you being a hero. This ends up with you maybe having repaired some of the harm that you caused, but maybe you don’t wind up having a career in Hollywood.” Wherever the path leads Loeffler is deeply skeptical that a story about Parker can be useful. “I’ve found that asking women what men need to do, like asking survivors and victims how to get it right so he can have forgiveness, is the ultimate example of feigning incompetence to deflect responsibility,” she says. “Answering any questions, or giving it any attention, is self-defeating because it is, again, making women responsible for a man’s behavior.” Loeffler adds: “What happened to my sister happened because of systems that benefit male athletes and program us to believe that men are more competent, honest and trustworthy. With the MeToo movement backlash, including the programming of young men through online content that they are inherently superior to women, we should be giving all our attention to the fact that we are standing at an inflection point that will determine the outcome of women, and humanity.” Parker sounds as if he knows that criticism is inevitable. “One of the things I’ve learned on this journey is that I can only control the things I can control,” he says. “Six years ago I was trying to control what people thought of me. I fought to stand in my truth, even when it meant ignoring the pains and hurts of others that had been impacted by my behaviors. Six years later, I’m clear that I’m not fighting for anything selfserving.” He rises from the couch to give a tour of the house, pointing out a bookcase he built, as well as the backyard treehouse he put up for his children when the phone stopped ringing. He talks about the Nate Parker Foundation, which he established in 2015 to mentor young people in visual storytelling, and he mentions that he wants to share what he’s learned with adolescents and teens so that they don’t internalize the same messages about masculinity he did as a boy — about entitlement and sexual conquest, impunity and strength. “I do think a digestible version of this work, introduced very early in the lives of young men, could really shape their value system,” he says. “And I don’t know of any systems that exist that do that. Does it have to take a tragedy to learn these things?” Parker rests his eyes on the San Gabriel Mountains baking in the distance. It’s as if he’s contemplating his own path — one on which he insists he’ll stay, wherever it leads. Whether it will be a path back is not for him to decide.

F2 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 A speedy, scenic seaplane flight from D.C. to New York BY A NDREA S ACHS From the cockpit, Schewitz swiveled around and gave us a Maverick-caliber thumbs-up. Then we were off, rumbling down the runway, headed for the river. Eighty minutes in the air, plus a splash in the East River, and I was in Manhattan. Tailwind Air’s seaplanes are the latest mode of transportation to connect the Washington area to New York City, and the amphibious flights eliminate much of the dread associated with the trip north. Passengers won’t hit traffic snarls (car, bus) or find themselves exiled in the wrong borough or state (commercial air). The travel time is also quicker than the train, including Acela, which clocks in at less than three hours. Although a seaplane ticket is pricey, with one-way fares starting at $395, the views from the air are exclusive to private planes and birds. Plus, the water landing will cause the jaded heads of New Yorkers to turn. On an afternoon suitable for flying and boating, I boarded a Tailwind seaplane to determine whether the journey to New York City could be as appealing as the destination. Flying by air, landing by sea Tailwind Air was founded in 2012, but the carrier only recently started offering amphibious flights. The company flies eight-seater Cessna Caravans, which are popular in Alaska, where seaplane travel is almost pedestrian. In 2020, it introduced seaplane service on routes bookended by bodies of water, such as Manhattan to the Hamptons. The following year, it launched flights between the East River and Boston Harbor, and it has been on a tear ever since, adding Plymouth and Provincetown, Mass.; Sag Harbor, N.Y.; and, most recently, the Washington area. The company’s original plan was to depart from College Park, which is disappointingly landlocked, so passengers would not experience a water takeoff and landing on the same trip. Security issues, however, forced Tailwind to scout for a new airport, which it found in Virginia, but, Strike 2: not on the Potomac. Washington Dulles does have a little pond, if that’s any consolation. The company’s maiden voyage took place Oct. 14. I booked a flight departing three days later. Before taking off, I had to break my old commercial air habits and become versed in the ways of seaplane travel. Regular rules do not apply Tailwind Air leaves from Jet Aviation, a fixed-base operator (FBO) permitted to manage private, charter and commuter flights out of Dulles. Passengers departing from here do not have to go through the same security rigmarole as they do in major airports. The airline screens travelers in advance using a national database. This means no body scans, bag inspections or stressful queues of any type. The 3-1-1 rule does not apply. Passengers can bring grown-upsize liquids onboard. So, fill up that Big Gulp cup and toss in the 125-milliliter bottle of perfume. One dog — or two, if they belong to the same family — is permitted in the cabin. The owner must pay the regular fare for pups weighing 25 pounds or more, and secure smaller dogs in an approved carrier. Passengers are allowed 20 pounds of baggage each. The company charges $250 for extra luggage and may ship the items separately. When booking, you must provide your weight, and although it’s important to be honest, no one is going to come after you with body fat calipers. Seaplanes follow the same weather advisories as other aircraft, with one notable exception: “The pilot has to be able to see the water,” said Alan Ram, the airline’s chief executive, explaining that seaplanes don’t fly at night. Because seaplanes don’t fair well on ice, Washington’s season will end on Dec. 21 and resume on March 21. If the aircraft can’t splash down, the pilot will divert to the nearest terrestrial airport, such as New York’s Westchester or Teterboro in New Jersey. The company will cover the cost of shuttling you to Manhattan, so you won’t be stranded.

Preboarding rituals Jet Aviation is not directly attached to Dulles, so driving is the best option. Parking is free, a nice perk if you fly round trip but not, if, like me, you booked a one-way ticket. If you don’t have a car, you can catch ground transportation from the main airport or grab a taxi or car share. According to the company, Jet Aviation has an on-demand shuttle that will transport passengers to and from IAD’s main terminal. When I called Tailwind to arrange a ride, I was told to drive or take a cab; I later learned that I should have called Jet Aviation. To eliminate a step, I ordered a Lyft from the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station for about $15. The gate closes 10 minutes before takeoff. Ram recommended gliding in no more than 20 minutes beforehand. I arrived a halfhour before the 2:05 p.m. takeoff and checked in at the front counter. There was no need. “We will pass along the message to Tailwind,” an employee said with the same unhurried tone of a nail salon receptionist. Two guys dressed in khakis and blue polo shirts were relaxing on a couch, heads deep in their gadgets. Let me guess: Bachelor party? College reunion? Company retreat? Nope: They were my pilots. “Just relax. You didn’t have to be here so early,” said Captain Adam Schewitz when he overheard me checking in. “But they do have good free coffee at FSOs.” Indeed, a hot beverage machine has nine options. I didn’t think 30 minutes was excessively early until I discovered that our plane was delayed by 45 minutes, for what Schewitz described as “not a good reason.” A “VIP passenger” had asked for a later departure, he told me apologetically. I had not received notification, which led to another apology. (The company said passengers should receive real-time alerts about delays. On the day I flew, the automated system was not yet operating on the new route.) However, the airline contacted the two other travelers, and the delay was cut in half. As soon as the other passengers arrived, we made our way to the plane, a quick walk from the main building. We could choose our seat. For the best panoramas, I followed Schewitz’s advice and plunked down on the right side of the plane. I had significant leg room and didn’t have to worry about a beverage cart slamming into my shins, because there was no food or drink service or flight attendants (or bathrooms). Renting a car? Bypass those surprise charges with these tips. Brad Cross expected to pay just $350 for a Honda Accord he rented in June for four days from The Avis in Salt Lake Navigator City. Instead, the CHRISTOPHER car rental company ELLIOTT broadsided him with a surprise $2,974 charge to his credit card. “Avis said the rental was extended into a one-way rental and dropped in another state,” says Cross, a software developer from Maple Grove, Minn. “But that wasn’t me.” The charge, it turns out, was a mistake (more on that later), but customers are being hit with more “surprise” rental car charges these days — some intentional, some not. Gone are the times of simple, transparent charges. Hidden fees — also known as junk fees — recently drew the ire of President Biden, who has promised to crack down on them in travel and beyond. But there are ways to avoid these higher charges. Whether it’s an erroneous bill like Cross’s or a smaller unexpected fee, here are a few tricks. What are the most common car rental fees? Car rental fees are up 14 percent this year, according to J.D. Power. The charges include fees to offset the cost of renting at an airport and extras for fuel and insurance. Here are the most common charges. Additional driver fees: If there’s more than one driver, your car rental company may charge extra. The company may waive the fee if it’s your “Airport concession fees can increase your bill by up to 20 percent,” says Roger Broussard, a frequent traveler who publishes a site for pilots. His advice for lowering your car rental bill: “Avoid renting a car at the airport,” he says. You can use the courtesy van to get to your hotel and rent from there. Or you can catch a rideshare to an off-site location, though that cost could be more than the extra cost for renting at the airport. Bear in mind, though, that some car rental locations near the airport are also charging fees, so you’ll have to pay attention to the fine print. ISTOCK/WASHINGTON POST ILLUSTRATION spouse or if you’re a frequent renter. Fuel purchase options: Car rental companies will offer to fill up the tank at a premium, so you can avoid having to refill before returning the vehicle. You can avoid this fee by filling the tank on your own. Also note that rental companies don’t refund you for unused fuel. Insurance: Agents at the counter will try to upsell customers on insurance. And it’s a hard sell. They may tell you that your auto insurance policy isn’t enough or that your credit card won’t cover you — both usually untrue. The extra insurance can sometimes double the cost of your rental. To avoid this upsell, read your cardmember agreement or auto insurance policy to make sure you have coverage. Junk fees: These can include airport concession fees (which cover fees the company pays for operating at the airport), license recovery fees (which cover the cost of a car’s license and registration) and even a tire disposal fee. You can’t negotiate these fees off your bill, but they’re usually disclosed before your rental, so you can avoid locations that charge them. Avoid renting at the airport One of the top complaints from travelers is the extras added to bills for concessions or airport transportation. These are not new, but airports are almost constantly raising them. Airports charge these to car rental companies and sometimes use the money to build car rental facilities. Last year, Honolulu International Airport opened a new $377 million car rental facility funded by a $4.50 surcharge added to every renter’s bill. Try the ‘pay now’ option One way to avoid cost overruns is to settle on a price before you rent the car. You can book through an opaque site such as Hotwire, which offers prepaid “Hot Rate” rentals, allowing you to choose a rental location but not the agency, which is revealed after you book. The price you see is the total price you’ll pay. The risk there is you could get a rental agency with poor reviews. “To avoid surprises, you can use the ‘pay now’ option when booking a car,” advises Julie Flores, vice president of operations at Rate Highway, a car rental technology firm. “Not only will you see exactly what the final taxes and fees are going to be, avoiding any surprises, you can also get a modest discount by paying upfront for the rental.” Dave Dzurick, a retired broadcast engineer from Tucson, recently discovered EconomyBookings.com, a site that offered several prepaid options. He used it to rent a Hertz sedan in Victoria, British Columbia. “I paid everything up front, and there were no surprises,” he says. But there’s a catch: The “pay now” rates, while sometimes cheaper than “pay later,” can be nonrefundable. Take photos of your vehicle Travelers say car rental companies are adding a lot of “gotcha” charges after the rental. For example, when Shanna Schultz dropped her Sixt rental car off in Paris after a family vacation, her company tried to charge her an extra $200 for a missing trunk cover. Fortunately, Schultz is a travel adviser and knows the pitfalls of renting. She had taken a video of the entire rental when she picked it up. “I showed the car rental company the video footage from when we had rented the car,” she says. “It showed that the trunk cover in question had not been in the vehicle to begin with.” The car rental company dropped its claim. She says taking images of your rental is the best way to avoid a billing surprise. “Before you even put your luggage inside, take a video,” she advises. “Inside, outside, up and down: You never know where they will say that the charge came from.” Can Avis fix this overcharge? When Cross called Avis about the nearly $3,000 charge, the company asked him for his return receipt. But Cross had already thrown away the receipt. He did, however, have a gas receipt that put him near the airport on the day of his return. It wasn’t enough. “Unfortunately, we were unable to find any discrepancies in our system regarding the return date,” Avis said in an email. “At this time, we are unable to Using your phone in the air “We have phone service,” said a very pleased, business-suited passenger, as the plane climbed toward the pillowy clouds. “That’s a reason to fly right there.” I switched out of airplane mode — another commercial air rule I could ignore — and watched our blue dot in Google Maps move through Loudoun County. “I am looking for my house,” a Tailwind employee-cum-passenger said. The flight was smooth until we hit a stormy patch in Maryland. I placed both feet on the floor to steady myself. The pilot found a keyhole in the dark clouds and headed for a patch of blue. I resumed my relaxed pose. “No bars,” said the man on Cellphone Service Watch as we flew over West Chester, Pa. After passing over a Trader Joe’s in New Jersey, Schewitz informed us that we would be landing in “mmphf” minutes. “Fifty?” I asked. He lifted up one finger and then five. Ahead, the New York skyline appeared like a pop-up card. Schewitz flew toward the tip of Manhattan and up the Hudson River. He took a loping right turn and traversed the island. Through my window, I saw Central Park in its totality, a giant green carpet unfurled. Marine landing in Manhattan On the East River, the plane landed with a whoosh and a thud. The finale was as scream-worthy as a rapids rafting ride at a water park. However, I only let out a soft “whoa.” The co-pilot hopped out and balanced on a pontoon while Schewitz steered the plane toward the shore. “Welcome to New York,” he said, after co-pilot Austin Tichy had tied us up at the Skyport Marina dock as if we were a boat. On the pier, Schewitz told us that we had reached an altitude of 9,500 feet and a speed of 220 knots. “I wanted to see how fast I could go.” From the dock, it took me 60 seconds to enter the maw of Manhattan. The takeaway The seaplane is more than just a conveyance to New York City. It’s also a sightseeing flight that ends with a double exclamation point. It earned practicality points for being speedy and convenient, at least in the destination. Because the service is new to Dulles, I can overlook the few hiccups. For the price, I could not become a frequent flier, but I might splurge on a ticket for a special occasion — and spring for a driver from Washington, too. make any corrections or issue a credit to your account.” I asked Avis to take another look at his case. It turns out the company had confused Cross’s rental with someone else’s. It apologized and credited his card $2,624. Cross was persistent, which may be the most effective way to avoid paying a surprise car rental charge. He kept contesting his bill, with a little help from me, until someone finally agreed to fix the charges.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ F3 EE JENNIFER DAHBURA/ILLUSTRATION FOR THE WASHINGTON POST 12 ways to avoid long Disney lines, from the people who know them best BY H ANNAH S AMPSON At a Disney theme park, some parts of the experience are guaranteed: Mickey Mouse ears will be everywhere, kids will melt down and lines will be long. So, so long. Even as admission prices continue their decades-long climb, the crowds keep coming for a piece of Mickey Mouse’s magic. Sometimes, those masses are willing to wait about two hours to climb on a fictional winged creature for a simulated flight experience. “When you use the phrase ‘time is money,’ there’s no better place to describe that than Walt Disney World,” said Conor Brown, owner and head tour guide of Magical Park Tours, which offers concierge tours of Orlando-area theme parks. “If you’re spending all this money, are you spending it just to wait in lines, or are you spending it to have a good time?” Just because the lines form doesn’t mean you always have to wait in them. Multitudes of fan blogs, YouTube videos, Instagram Reels and TikToks are devoted to helping park visitors navigate the happiest places on Earth — without spending all day queuing up. And Disney offers several options to bypass crowds at a variety of price points. Some hacks don’t cost anything except an extra hour of sleep you’ll lose from an early wake-up call. Others could set you back three months’ rent. At the very least, most require planning in advance, a wellcharged smartphone and a little research. 1. Arrive an hour before parks open Every Disney expert interviewed for this story emphasized the importance — nay, the absolute necessity — of showing up before a park even opens. The good news for early birds is that not everyone can swing this miracle of morning organization. “You can tell everyone to get there early and they’ll still show up late,” said David Vaughn, a theme park content creator based in Southern California. Brown, who is also a travel agent, blogger and podcaster, advises arriving an hour before you’re officially allowed to enter. That means you’ll have time to park or take alternative transportation, make it to the gate, go through security and still be near the front of the line to enter — and among the first to get in line for rides. “In those early hours, you can knock out a lot,” he said. Visitors should know in advance what they want to ride, tackle popular options while morning crowds are still thin and build the rest of the day from there. 2. Stay to the last minute Just because a park closes at 10 p.m. doesn’t mean you have to be walking to your car at 9:55. The lines close when the parks do — but if a ride is operational and you hop in line one minute before closing time, you can stay. “Regardless of the time the parks close, you will not be asked to leave any attraction as long as you are already in line,” wrote a panelist for planDisney, the company’s official source for planning advice. Lines can be much shorter just before closing, because many guests have already headed out. Disney Tourist Blog founder Tom Bricker said the first and last two hours of the day are the best for avoiding long lines. “Even if doing so requires taking a midday break to rest and recharge, it’s worth it in order to be there for those times,” he wrote in an email, adding that “avoiding midday Florida weather is another upside.” 3. Avoid peak seasons Don’t go at Christmas, during spring break or in the height of summer and expect a line-free experience. “Try to avoid when school is out at all costs,” said Brown, a former cast member. He said the end of August and early September are great for lower crowds, as is early January after the winter holidays and early May after spring break. Just remember to avoid holiday weekends or the big races that Disney organizes on-site, which get crowded. Bonus: The least-crowded times also tend to be the least expensive for tickets. 4. Ditch the group Some rides offer a queue for “single riders,” who can be added to take an empty spot when a group traveling together doesn’t fill every seat. This can cut down wait times significantly. The downside is you’ll be split up from your friends or family — but maybe that’s an upside during a long day? The option is typically available on four popular rides at Walt Disney World in Florida and eight across Disneyland Resort in California. Kids have to be at least 7 to participate. However, Melanee Berman, a registered nurse and Disney influencer who creates individualized itineraries for Disneyland, said she doesn’t typically recommend it for children younger than 13. 5. Learn about ‘rider switch’ This is less a skip-the-line tip than a don’t-wait-in-line-twice one. Many — but not all — rides at Walt Disney World and Disneyland have a “rider switch” option when groups have one or more members who can’t ride an attraction. Berman said means that an older kid who rides with one parent first can also tag along for the second round. 6. Skip the parades and fireworks Maybe it’s your idea of a great time to watch costumed characters wave from moving floats or fireworks explode over a castle. If so, this tip is not for you. If you’re willing to flee the special shows, head for the attractions while everyone else is distracted. “If you’re spending all this money, are you spending it just to wait in lines, or are you spending it to have a good time?” Conor Brown, owner and head tour guide of Magical Park Tours Visitors need to alert a Disney employee (or cast member) that they’re taking part in a rider switch. One adult waits with the child or other member of the party who can’t ride, and when the other adult returns, they swap, and the first one can go directly on the attraction without waiting. Disney World’s description notes that the person who waited alone can bring a guest with them when they ride — which Vaughn said the parade tip is especially useful for rides in the Fantasyland areas of Magic Kingdom in Florida or Disneyland in California, which are packed with rides that appeal to smaller children. “The lines, you’ll watch them drop,” he said. 7. Mobile-order your meals Instead of waiting in line to order food at a quick-service restaurant at the California or Florida parks, visitors can order in advance through the Disneyland or My Disney Experience app. Pick the restaurant and an arrival time, order and pay. When the time arrives, get near the dining venue and hit the button that says you’re there. When the notification to pick up your food comes, go to the mobile-order window. “It saves you a ridiculous amount of time,” said Berman, who created a beginner’s guide to the Disneyland process on Instagram (@the_disney_rn). 8. Ring up your own merch Some stores in Disneyland and Disney World parks allow shoppers to scan bar codes through the app and pay on their phones. They need to show the confirmation of a QR code to a cast member before leaving with the goods. “At the end of the night, when the park starts to close down and everybody floods into the gift shop and the lines are crazy long, that’s a beautiful one,” Berman said. 9. Get the official line-skipping tool A fairly new and controversial addition, the replacement for the once-free FastPass service is proving essential (if pricey) to knock out the rides you want during a visit. There are two elements: Genie Plus lets guests pay a daily fee to reserve expedited access to many rides. Individual Lightning Lanes charge a separate fee for quicker access to the most popular rides. Prices for both went up last month. At Disneyland Resort in California, Genie Plus now starts at $25, up from $20. In October, the price started at $15 but could be JOE BURBANK/ORLANDO SENTINEL/ASSOCIATED PRESS Guests visit Walt Disney World on Sept. 27. Try skipping the shows in areas such as Magic Kingdom, above, and instead head for the attractions while everyone is distracted, says David Vaughn. as much as $22, depending on demand; previously, it was always $15. “For as complicated as it is and for as costly as it is, it’s still worth it to use it,” Brown said. “You can get on some super-popular rides.” He said guests should turn to someone who is familiar with the system — a travel agent or a friend with experience — to help them make the most of it, because it has changed so frequently. 10. Splurge on after-hours events Some parks on certain nights offer separate ticketed events for night owls, with part of the appeal being “lower wait times,” according to the parks. In 2023, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom are selling tickets for dates early in the year at prices that rival a full day’s admission. “That is an enormous time saver,” said Jeffrey Merola, a Walt Disney World guidebook author and owner of Mouse Vacation Planning. “Disney limits how many tickets they sell. You could literally end up near the front of the line, [with] very minimal waits.” Disneyland After Dark event dates have not been announced for next year. 11. Stay in a Disney-approved hotel Merola recommends staying on-site, which gives guests entry into parks 30 minutes before the rest of the crowds. Of course, that means tip No. 1 — set the alarm early and show up before the gates open — still applies. Visitors in Florida should check to see whether their hotel offers the perk; Brown said some properties that aren’t official Disney resorts still get early access. Guests at certain deluxe hotels in Florida can also take advantage of extended night hours on certain dates. 12. Pay (a lot) for VIP treatment This is the nuclear line-skipping option, the granddaddy of them all — and it doesn’t come cheap. Private VIP tours for up to 10 people buys access to a guide, a customized itinerary and “the ability to enjoy some of your favorite attractions efficiently,” according to the Walt Disney World description. In Florida, the cost ranges from $450 to $900 per hour for a minimum of seven hours. At Disneyland, the price starts at a total of $3,500, also with a seven-hour minimum. One big catch: Visitors still need to pay for admission separately. Merola said he has done a tour, though Disney paid for it: “You do a ton,” he said. “Very little waiting.”
F4 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 4 stops worth savoring on Puerto Rico’s ‘pork highway’ driguez, daughter of the original owner. People say the food is very familiar if you grew up in places such as Cayey, Caguas or Ponce. Highlights include dishes such as gandinga (liver stew), guanimes (boiled cornmeal), guineitos en escabeche (green bananas and vegetables) or rice with a little pega’o (crunchy bits). Cold bottles of Malta, a Caribbean soft drink with a strong barley and molasses flavor, are just a few feet away. A meal will cost about $8 to $12 per person. The open-air, cafeteria-style seating is common for these eateries. During the busy season, they serve thousands of people. Aside from a few days before Easter weekend, Los Pinos is always open. Breakfast is available seven days a week. There are eggs and oatmeal, but also some of the dishes you’ll see in the afternoon, such as soups and alcapurrias. The restaurant hosts live music only on the weekends, holidays and special occasions. Rodriguez says that just about everything they cook is sourced from the island. They also work with the pig-farming cooperative that’s behind the “Cerdo Rico” seal in the dining room. Waiting in line, you’ll notice that women are the most visible workers. Rodriguez says 90 percent of the staff is female, and although it’s not intentional, in her experience, they’re masters at handling the grueling work. It took Los Pinos a couple of weeks to open after Hurricane Maria. When it did, the business could support only a few people working. So Rodriguez’s father cooked in the kitchen, while she and her mother worked the counter. During that time, she noticed that people weren’t just purchasing food but were also asking for basics, such as water and ice. So Los Pinos stepped up to lend a hand when times were desperate. Address: Carr. 184 Km 27.7 Bo, 00736, Puerto Rico Website: bit.ly/los-pinos-PR On La Ruta del Lechón, these popular sites offer spit-roasted bliss BY A NTHONY J . R IVERA puerto rico highway 184 — The road to roast pork begins 30 minutes south of San Juan’s beaches. Paying the toll for Puerto Rico Highway 52 takes you deep into the interior of the island, past weathered houses, towering palms, bamboo forests and sprawls of banana trees. Exit onto Route 184 near an area called Guavate, Cayey, and you will come upon La Ruta del Lechón, the “pork highway.” Lechón is spit-roasted pig. When prepared properly, it is some of the juiciest, most flavorful meat on the planet. Pork lovers from all around the world have visited Guavate’s famous open-air lechoneras. Why is there so much roast pork along this road? Search for advice on YouTube, and you’ll hear travel gurus explain that these places were established to serve hungry locals driving from Ponce at the southern end of the island to the capital in the north — or vice versa. Lechonera workers here say many of those commuters were actually in the region because of a penitentiary camp (now closed) just a few miles away. Food historian and professor Cruz Miguel Ortíz Cuadra, author of “Eating Puerto Rico: A History of Food, Culture, and Identity,” says the lechoneras benefited from their proximity to the prison, which included a farm that raised hogs for surrounding communities. The local pork boasts a distinctly Puerto Rican taste, because pigs on the island consume native fruits and vegetables. Over time, Guavate became the capital of lechoneras. “Probably it became a very important place to go as a frugal family,” Ortíz says. On holidays and special occasions, families would come for communal feasts of reasonably priced meat. Small shacks equipped with little beyond a machete and a scale evolved into sprawling, well-maintained properties with bars and dance floors. As they grew, they held on to the food that made them so popular — and the jungle-style meat cleavers. When Hurricane Fiona landed in September, it brought flash floods and mudslides while knocking out power to the entire island. Around Guavate, the downpour flooded the subtropical terrain and toppled trees. The lechoneras seem to be back to full service, although some relied on generators to function for weeks after the storm. On Highway 184, there are plenty of lechoneras worth a stop. You could simply follow the aroma of the rotisseries until you land at a place you like. On your first visit, though, you should consider one of the most popular. 1. Lechonera Los Amigos As drivers come off the toll road and onto Highway 184, Los Amigos is there to greet them. An array of picnic tables has frontrow seats to the restaurant’s main event: whole roasted pig. A worker standing behind glass uses a giant blade to hack off chunks of meat for customers. The pork, other meats and sides steam on a hot table as guests scoot past. A typical plate might contain lechón, arroz con gandules and a chilled Medalla Light beer. That can run you anywhere between $11 to $13. Nearly every lechonera serves tasty pasteles, and Los Amigos is no exception. The traditional dish, comparable to tamales, is a staple on La Ruta associated with holidays such as Thanksgiving, Three Kings Day and New Year’s. During Christmas, Los Amigos sees thousands of customers, and owner Luis Prieto says he cooks more than three dozen pigs just to keep up with demand. Look around, and there are life-size likenesses of the owner with one of his former employees on the walls. A photo stand-in of a pair of cartoon piglets is propped up near the entrance for a TikTok-worthy shot. Top 40 hits pump through speakers, as people take their food to one of the restaurant’s 150 seats. Although some lechoneras have an online presence of some kind, Prieto takes his business to another level. He has recorded a video on YouTube nearly every day for years. He often reveals where food is being cooked or shows members of his smiling staff who are restocking or making coffee. Waiting just outside the PHOTOS BY GABRIELLA N.

The shop is open for business, but the owner says there hasn’t been seating inside amid the pandemic. He does plan to reopen the space at some point as he works on the next phase of his venture. In 2023, Prieto hopes to open an expansion. He’s calling it Señora Barra and says the new space will operate with a separate kitchen that offers tapasstyle appetizers. Señora Barra will also feature cocktails and artisanal beer from Puerto Rican brands such as Ocean Lab, Old Harbor, Del Oeste and Zurc. At some point next year, Prieto says he even hopes to open a tasting room and wine cellar nearby for members-only clientele. Address: Carr. 184 Km 33.2 Bo, 00739, Puerto Rico Website: bit.ly/los-amigos-PR 2. Lechonera El Mojito According to El Mojito manager David Flores, founder Jose “Pepe” Colon began the business cooking one pig a day. In less than 10 years, the place became a must-visit destination on La Ruta. A framed photograph from 1984 has an inscription calling the lechonera “la puerta” (the door) of Guavate. The name Mojito derives from the spicy, zesty sauce served as a condiment to the pork. Pepe concocted it and was inspired by the red sauces made in Salinas on the southern coast — not the Cuban cocktail, though the restaurant serves that, too. A meal will run you about $10 to $12 per person including a drink, such as a refreshing Coco Rico soda. Besides pork, chicken and turkey, options include morcilla (blood sausage), batatas (sweet potato), yuca, tostones and more. Simply walk up to the line where a worker takes your order on a slip of paper, which then makes its way past an oversize plaster figure of a pig and to the cashier. Within minutes, you’re eating lechón in the dining area. Look around, and you’ll see a verdant green space with a big mural on the wall that had to be rebuilt after Hurricane Maria. In it, a renowned farmer named Stephanie Rodríguez is carrying bananas or plantains. The owner, Leida Rivera (no relation), says the painting honors the hardship of the island’s agricultural workers in the wake of the storm.

Rivera, who is Pepe’s niece, says El Mojito values a relaxed environment, so there is no dance floor or live music. That doesn’t stop locals from getting up and dancing to the music on the speakers.

Los Pinos is the one and only lechonera that Anthony Bourdain raved about in his television show “No Reservations.” Since then, people as far away as Thailand have come to try the food. Want to eat the comforting island cuisine Puerto Ricans call criollo? This is the place. The restaurant has been around in one form or another since the 1970s and has grown a few thousand square feet since it started, according to Erlíca Ro- 4. Lechonera El Rancho Original El Rancho Original isn’t just a nice name. The owners claim to run the very first lechonera on Route 184, with El Mojito and Los Pinos taking seniority somewhere behind. Carlos Santos, who has been operating El Rancho for 17 years, says it began as a small shelter made of sheet metal. Today, the footprint is massive, spilling over both sides of the street. A meal can cost one person anywhere from $9 to $12. Customers seek out dishes such as pasteles, cuajo (hog maw), roasted chicken and turkey. Some wash it all down with a cold can of Kola Champagne. The lechonera has always been a local hot spot, Santos says. The restaurant hosts two live bands playing Puerto Rican music, and there’s plenty of space for dancing. Some from the area say a place such as El Rancho has everything they need to enjoy the weekends: food, drink, entertainment. Diners wish you “buen provecho,” or “enjoy your meal,” as they pass by, gleefully carrying theirs to any one of the gazebos and pavilions lining the calming waters of Rio Guavate. It isn’t unusual to see a large white egret hunt around river rocks while you’re eating. The place opens early and closes at 5 p.m. on weekdays, and on the weekends, it stays open two hours longer. A few thousand people have been known to descend on the business between those times. Cars can be seen lining the street. The lechonera has to cook overnight to keep up with the demand on Christmas Eve. Santos and his business partner say they can go through 35 pigs when busy, each weighing roughly 150 pounds and able to feed about 200 people. El Rancho sources its hogs, which are already slaughtered and cleaned before delivery, from the nearby town of Aibonito.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ F5 EE THE UPGRADE The power of exercising while on vacation BY N ATALIE B . C OMPTON To submit a travel hack to The Upgrade, visit wapo.st/submitupgrade. Open a travel guidebook, and you’ll find recommendations on where to stay, what to eat and what to see. You’ll read about annual festivals, etiquette considerations, noteworthy museums and cooking classes, but workout options rarely make the cut, unless they’re emblematic of a place, such as surfing in Costa Rica or skiing in Tahoe. I think that’s a shame — and not because I believe in strict exercise routines or shun relaxing on vacation. This has nothing to do with diet culture, calories or Western beauty standards. This is a treatise on the power of workouts to cure jet lag, increase your endorphins and your appetite, and challenge your mind and body in a new place. The concept was planted for me at an early age; my parents are active and prioritized jogging, swimming and going on bike tours on family vacations. As I got older, I started traveling heavily for work, and if I didn’t exercise on the road, I rarely had the opportunity, because I was only at home for short periods of time. Over hundreds of trips, I found that even if I only had 20 minutes to stretch, my body felt better after 12-hour flights or 16-hour workdays as a freelancer. But I’m not telling you to suck up precious vacation time in a windowless hotel gym. Now that I have a less-hectic 9-to-5, I don’t work out when I travel out of necessity; I do because it can create some of my favorite memories from a trip. Exhibit A: Portugal, 2o17. I was in Porto to learn about the wine industry and needed to do something that wasn’t drinking. To combat the long car rides to wineries and hours of tastings, I searched Google Maps for a Muay Thai gym. I had fallen in love with the sport while living in Thailand. Boom Academy was far from tourist areas. They had a beginner’s class that fit my schedule, so I packed a bag with workout clothes and walked from my hostel to the MIN HEO/ILLUSTRATION FOR THE WASHINGTON POST gym. Through Google Translate, I asked the staff to buy a day pass. This doesn’t always work; sometimes gyms are strictly for members. But I was lucky, and they threw me in the class. Did it feel low-key humiliating sometimes? Yes. I don’t speak Portuguese‚ and I’m not good at Muay Thai, but I could still follow the instructor and have a great time playing the role of the idiot for- eigner. It was a social experience; you bond with people you sweat with, language barrier or not. I left sweaty, humbled and relieved. We don’t always notice how much stress we carry when we travel, and exercising can take away some of the load, like when your dentist tells you to unclench when you didn’t realize you were clenching in the first place. I can tell you dozens of similar stories. I’ve surfed in Peru, played pickup soccer in Morocco and biked in Maine. The workout doesn’t have to be rigorous to be beneficial: Find a realistic way to move that gives you a taste of local life. Trying tai chi, going for a walk in the woods or getting on the water can be just as satisfying. Ultimately, this is a case for slow travel. Instead of jam-packing your day with sightseeing, you can carve out an hour to appreciate a place beyond its Tripadvisor highlights and catch magic in its mundanity. If I hadn’t gone to a gym in Kathmandu, Nepal, I would have never seen a man holding his dog’s paw to cross the street on its hind legs. And, bonus, you prime your body for one of travel’s greatest joys: eating. All-terrain wheelchairs arrive at U.S. parks ‘This is life-changing’: Sites in Georgia, South Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan are providing people with free adaptive equipment to explore off-road trails A NDREA S ACHS N ATALIE B . C OMPTON BY AND Cory Lee has visited 40 countries on seven continents, and yet the Georgia native has never explored Cloudland Canyon State Park, about 20 minutes from his home. His wheelchair was tough enough for the trip to Antarctica but not for the rugged terrain in his backyard. Lee’s circumstances changed Nov. 4, when Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources and the Aimee Copeland Foundation unveiled a fleet of all-terrain power wheelchairs for rent at 11 state parks and outdoorsy destinations, including Cloudland Canyon. The Action Trackchair models are equipped with tank-like tracks capable of traversing rocks, roots, streams and sand; clearing fallen trees; plowing through tall grass; and tackling uphill climbs. “I’ll finally be able to go on these trails for the first time in my life,” said the 32-year-old travel blogger, who shares his adventures on Curb Free With Cory Lee. “The trails are off-limits in my regular wheelchair.” Georgia is one of the latest states to provide the Land Rover of wheelchairs to outdoor enthusiasts with mobility issues. In 2017, Colorado Parks and Wildlife launched its Staunton State Park Track-Chair Program, which provides free adaptive equipment, though guests must pay the $10 entrance fee. Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources has placed off-road track chairs in nearly a dozen parks, including Muskegon State Park. In 2018, Lee reserved a chair at the park that boasts three miles of shoreline on Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake. “It allowed me to have so much independence on the sand,” he said. In 2019, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan became the first national park to offer a track chair, said superintendent Scott Tucker. This year, Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes, the nonprofit that oversees the program, added a third. South Dakota is also expanding its squadron: On Tuesday, the South Dakota Parks and Wildlife Foundation unveiled its second all-terrain chair. South Dakota resident Michael M. Samp is leading a fundraising campaign to purchase up to 30 chairs. Last year, Samp’s father packed up his fishing pole and piloted a track chair to Center Lake in Custer State Park. He reeled in trout, just as he had before he was diagnosed with spinal cerebral ataxia. “The plan is to have the chairs spread throughout the state and available for various outdoor activities including, but not limited to, park and trail enjoyment, hunting and fishing,” said Kristina Coby, the foundation’s director. DEBORAH ROSE/MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES ABOVE: A wheelchair user traverses the snow at Myre-Big Island State Park in Minnesota on March 22. LEFT: “I was floored by what it could do,” said Aimee Copeland Mercier of the Action Trackchair. AIMEE COPELAND FOUNDATION This month, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will wrap up its months-long pilot program that tested out the chairs in five parks. On Wednes- day, the agency will evaluate the success of the amenity. Early indications are positive. “We want to create an unforgettable outdoor experience for everyone, not just for people who can walk,” said Jamie McBride, a state parks and recreation area program consultant with the Parks and Trails division of the Minnesota DNR. “People have told us this is life-changing.” The Georgia initiative was spearheaded by Aimee Copeland Mercier, who suffered a ziplining accident in 2012 and lost both hands, her right foot and her left leg to a flesh-eating bacterial infection. Copeland Mercier, a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker, tested several types of all-terrain chairs before committing to the Action Trackchair, which several other state programs also use. The Minnesota-based company was founded by Tim and Donna Swenson, whose son, Jeff, was paralyzed in a car accident. The original design resembled a Frankenstein of sporting goods parts, with snow bike tracks and a busted boat seat. Today’s model could be an opening act at a monster truck rally. “I was floored by what it could do,” said Copeland Mercier, whose foundation raised $200,000 to purchase the chairs at $12,500 each. “Oh my gosh! I can go over a whole tree trunk, up a steep incline and through snow, swamps and wetlands. If I took my regular wheelchair, I’d get stuck in five minutes.” Each program has its own reservations system and requirements. For Georgia’s service, visitors must provide proof of their disability and a photo ID, plus complete an online training course available through All Terrain Georgia. Once certified, the organization will forward the rental request to the park. Copeland Mercier urges visitors to plan ahead: The certification course takes about an hour, the foundation needs 72-hour advance notice and the park requires a 48-hour head’s up. “These are 500-pound chairs,” she said. “There are some risks involved.” The Minnesota DNR, which owns and maintains its five chairs, advises visitors to call the park to reserve a chair. “We have a few screening questions,” McBride said, “but we leave the eligibility up to the user.” Since launching the program in June, McBride said, the chairs are booked three to four days a week, with heavier interest on weekends. “We haven’t turned too many people away at this point,” he said. Track chairs can conquer a range of obstacles, but they do not work in all environments. “You need the width. If two trees are too close together, the wheelchair can’t pass between them,” Copeland Mercier said. “And some inclines are too steep. The chair also can’t go down staircases.” To steer visitors in the right direction, parks have created maps highlighting the trails designated for the track chairs, such as Staunton State Park’s trio of routes that range from roughly three to four miles. Visitors center staff members are also ready with recommendations. (To transfer from chair to chair, visitors will need a companion to assist.) McBride said one goal is to erect markers that would provide detailed information about the hike, such the extent of accessibility. “We want to let people know if they can get all the way to the waterfall or halfway,” he said, using a hypothetical example. Copeland Mercier also has a wish list. She hopes to expand the network of chairs to other parts of Georgia, such as the coastal, southern and central regions. Once the foundation acquires several vans (another aspiration), the staff could move the 30 to 40 chairs (ditto) around the state to fill fluctuating demand. She is also eyeing other states. “North Carolina is next,” said Copeland Mercier, who divides her time between Atlanta and Asheville, N.C. But the grand plan is even bigger. “The goal is to alter the U.S.A.,” she said.
F6 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 PERSPECTIVE An epic trip in Germany, through the eyes of a sketch artist BY Beginning in München (Munich), I was most taken by the Deutsches Museum, a well-designed collection of science and technology. I had the luck to walk through its old instrument collection, where a guide was rocking it on a 17th-century organ. In the evening, I parked outside the magnificently rebuilt town hall and discovered that, in Germany, a “large” beer is a liter. All the more time to sketch. Rottweil — yes, the namesake for the dog breed — was the next stop. The city is lined with structures remaining since the 16th century, many in the downtown area adorned with comic-esque panels depicting flora, fauna and foods. Here I met up with my brother and his wife, who were traveling through to Vienna. Rottweil is in the Black Forest, so we sought out Black Forest cake and ham, finding both in a local farmers market. They didn’t have forks, so we had to eat it with our hands, much of which ended up in my beard. Locals stopped to comment at the sight. I’ve since been dubbed “Onkle Zuckerbart,” or “Uncle Sugarbeard.” As I discovered was true for seemingly all of Germany, Rottweil has a bustling wasp population. Even after washing off the cake, I would spend the rest of the day fleeing wasps drawn to my sweetened face. I spent only a few hours at Konstanz, mostly surrounded by the flowers of the garden island Mainau. Among the flowers were instruments, exposed to the elements with overgrowth pouring from the cello holes and piano tops, an ode to the baroque period in which the island palace and gardens were built. Even outside this island, German homes sport impressive amounts of flowers, with every front-facing window adorned with boxfuls. Karlsruhe is where I met up with the friend who had kicked off the trip. We ventured through the Karlsruhe Palace, now the home of the regional historical museum and copious statues of winged people. In Durlach, an eastern borough of the city, sits Karlsburg Castle and a fountain celebrating love of all kinds of species (maybe more literally than you’re used to). D YLAN M ORIARTY On the invitation of a close friend working abroad, I recently took a trip through Germany. ¶ I had no grand plans for the trip — besides to enjoy the journey — and I knew I wanted to illustrate it. A camera is one way to capture the world, but the meditation of re-creating moments in ink felt like a better, more personal tribute. Not to mention, after a day of hiking through museums and city streets, easing weary feet with a beer and a couple of hours of sketching was a godsend. ¶ As the route solidified, I set out to meet with family, friends and friendly strangers who surprisingly answered a general “anyone want to hang out?” missive I put up on Twitter, achieving the 1999 dream of making new connections through the internet. ¶ Here’s a summary of my trip, told through those sketches: Konstanz When you enter Köln (Cologne), immediately off the train you’re met by the Kölner Dom, a massive cathedral so ornate that I admit I wouldn’t dare try to fit it on these pages. While there, I was stuck on coming up with a way to thank my friend and others who shared time with me on this trip. I was reminded that sketching has always been a way to better connect with people. I only drew as much as I did because I noticed as a kid that it made pals happy to see themselves drawn, a social hack for an otherwise pretty shy kiddo. On my own for an evening, I enjoyed an Italian dinner and beer in a nearby park. A couple, who had noticed me drawing a nearby shirtless night club pilgrim blasting loud music from an amp on wheels, getting chewed out by an older woman, asked whether I would sketch them. It was not a great portrait, but they were happy. A familiar contradiction. Karlsruhe Hamburg was a longer stop, which was great, because it’s a beautiful city. Canals and rivers thread through the city like veins, commonly populated by locals paddling through. It’s also a city where I first got the real sense of the destruction following World War II. The Speicherstadt, or downtown warehouse district, has the canal lined with eight-story brick buildings whose constructions have such a clear purpose that it’s impossible to not imagine what it was like in its heyday. But that’s just one small part of the city that barely survived Allied bombing. Elsewhere, it’s noticeably more modern structures. Hamburg Lübeck is a rare northern city that survived both the world wars mostly intact, medieval structures aplenty. Within Holsten Gate, the main entrance to the downtown, I met a local watercolor artist, Stanislaw Ostrowski. After buying an illustrated map from him and showing my sketchbook, he took it and painted an original in my book. Despite him not speaking English, and my limited German, it was nice to have a nonverbal means of communication. Berlin Mainz is another medieval city that sits west of Frankfurt. It’s also the home of Johannes Gutenberg and a tribute museum that houses three books of the printer’s famous bibles. Among the best things about traveling is the minor changes you encounter. Case in point: The walk signals of Mainz feature small gnome characters, the Mainzelmännchen. SKETCHBOOK PAGES BY DYLAN MORIARTY/THE WASHINGTON POST; PHOTOS BY KYLE SANDHOFF The trip ended with a week-long stay in downtown Berlin. One evening, I trekked through a former airfield turned park, Tempelhofer Feld, with friends. Although during the day it’s full of life and picnics, we visited close enough to closing that only a few land sailors were still rolling. While here, I took an experimental portrait workshop on a boat turned art studio/bar, a particularly scrappy and beautiful pocket in a scrappy and beautiful city. The Berlin Wall remains standing only in chunks and as an outdoor installation with murals painted on each, and in stringed footprint of parks throughout. Throughout Berlin, defunct structures find new life. The return trip was less smooth. A flight cancellation had me up 30 straight hours, fueled only by caffeine, but it gave me a chance to finish the sketches. After boarding the rescheduled red-eye, within a few hours, I landed back home. Just in time to catch the sunrise over Reagan National.

G2 Companies find sustainability easier to promote than execute BY Delta Air Lines has embraced one of the corporate world’s most ambitious targets for lowering carbon emissions. In 2020, the airline vowed to invest $1 billion over 10 years to reduce its carbon footprint, with money going to new planes, the development of cleaner jet fuel, carbon offsets and hundreds of millions in savings in operations. “Carbon neutral since March 2020,” the airline has touted on its cocktail napkins. “Travel confidently knowing that we will offset the carbon emitted on your Delta flight.” What the napkins don’t say is that, in 2021, Delta failed to hit its target. To make up the difference, it spent $137 million to buy carbon offsets at a price some experts say has little impact. The offsets cover TECHNOLOGY If your phone needs to go to the repair shop, don’t forget to secure your personal data first.

G2 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 Corporations face scrutiny for missing lofty climate goals GREENWASHING FROM G1 offices and supply chains. And many, such as Delta, are struggling to deliver. There are a mix of reasons. Early on, some companies adopted climate targets or “ambitions” for public relations purposes. Other companies have grown faster than expected. Still others misjudged the challenge of transforming their operations, or assumed they would never be held to account for their ESG commitments, shorthand for “environment, social and governance” policies. “A lot of it is marketing and virtue-signaling,” said Sam Lissner, a managing director at Ridgewood, a private equity firm with investments in U.S. infrastructure and energy. “The reality is it’s very challenging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of particularly a heavy industrial company like an airline or manufacturer without becoming a lot less profitable in the near term.” Cynthia Dalagelis, senior vice president for ESG and impact investments at Amalgamated Bank, recalls getting calls from public relations firms seeking advice on how companies could jump aboard the sustainability bandwagon. “I said, ‘You’re seeing it the wrong way. This isn’t a marketing movement.’ ” In the case of Delta, the airline initially embraced carbon offsets that would finance renewable energy, landfill gas recovery and the prevention of deforestation. But Delta now has a new chief sustainability officer, Pam Fletcher, who said she opposes buying such credits. “It was the best tool at the time. So kudos to getting some momentum on climate change,” she said. “Now we are laser-focused on decarbonization in our company and industry working on the issues within our own four walls.” Over the past couple of years, a new service industry of accountants, lawyers and consultants has sprung up to help companies meet climate objectives, and companies are feeling the pressure to move quickly. “The ticking time bomb is the year 2030, when so many places have said net zero or a certain reduction goal,” said Sam Stark, chief executive of Green Project Technologies, which advises firms on how to meet climate targets. Companies could face consequences if they exaggerate climate and ESG pledges or fail to deliver on them. They could become the target of lawsuits and shareholder battles. Or they could run afoul of new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, which require corporate transparency about climate risks, emissions and investments in sustainability. In disclosing their climate impacts, companies must detail their “Scope 1 and 2” emissions. WASHINGTON POST ILLUSTRATION These are impacts from their own operations, supply chains and energy purchases. Scope 3 emissions are more tricky to calculate and reduce because they involve the greenhouse gases created when customers use the products. In its 119-page 2021 Environmental Sustainability Report, Microsoft said it reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 16.9 percent, or 58,654 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. But on the next page, the report includes a chart showing that Scope 1 and 2 combined make up just 2 percent of Microsoft’s total emissions of 14 million metric tons. Its remaining greenhouse gases — Scope 3 — grew 22.7 percent, in part because the company’s sales have grown. Microsoft says it still plans to remove half of its carbon emissions by 2030. Proctor & Gamble has been mired in a dispute with its own shareholders, two-thirds of whom in 2020 voted for a resolution urging the company to report on its contribution to the degradation of sensitive boreal forests in Canada. Shelley Vinyard, who works on the P&G campaign at Natural Resources Defense Council, said that “one of the things so frustrating about the ESG process is that shareholder resolutions are nonbinding. The company has issued several reports. None get to the heart of the matter.” P&G also has come up with an ESG “scorecard” to calculate executive bonuses. The scorecard can shave 20 percent off executives’ bonuses for failing to meet ESG goals, or it can add 20 percent to those bonuses, according to the company’s proxy statement. P&G did not comment. While companies use climate “ambitions” to promote themselves in ad campaigns, there are risks in doing so. In Australia, one shareholder advocacy organization is trying to hold a company responsible for its own rhetoric. Last year the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility filed suit against Santos, Australia’s largest domestic natural gas supplier, accusing it of “greenwashing.” ACCR said Santos made misleading comments in its 2020 annual report to reach net zero by 2040 and that Santos had thus violated both corporate and consumer law. Santos, which says its natural gas is “clean energy,” claims it has a “clear pathway to net zero emissions by 2040” and that its “net zero by 2040 target is supported by a transition road map which is clear and credible.” The ACCR also alleges the company is relying on untested assumptions about the viability of large-scale carbon capture and sequestration, without which it will not deliver on its 2040 goals. Santos did not reply to queries on the lawsuit. David A. Baay, head of energy litigation at the law firm Eversheds Sutherland, said he offers a standard piece of advice to clients: “Avoid broad and vague claims.” “It’s tempting to whatever you’re putting into the public square for it to be this kind of broad encompassing language like ‘product is clean’ or ‘sustainable’ or ‘eco-friendly,’ ” Baay said at a recent panel discussion in New York. “Those are keywords plaintiffs’ lawyers will pick up on and drill down into your practices to show there’s no way to support that.” The airline industry faces some of the biggest hurdles in cutting greenhouse gas emissions, largely because there are no quick alternatives to current aircraft engines powered by aviation fuel. As Moody’s Investors Service recently put it, these realities “will not support a rapid decarbonization of the airline industry.” About 10 million gallons of lowemission aviation fuel was produced in 2021, about 10 percent of the industry’s current needs, Moody’s said. Replacement of aging planes will cut emissions by only 15 to 35 percent, it added, noting: “There will not be a new model that materially improves fuel efficiency, or meaningfully lowers emissions, and provides the same utility in terms of number of passengers and cargo as current product lines, before 2040.” Although Delta once saw carbon offsets as key parts of its future, the airline is now moving to directly slash its emissions, Fletcher said. It has electrified ground equipment that tow planes and carry luggage. It is buying planes that are 25 percent more efficient. It is researching sustainable jet fuels. And it is collaborating with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lab for Aviation and the Environment on a quest to prevent contrails, long-lasting clouds that trap heat and warm the planet. To hit its 2050 goals, Delta also intends to use technologies that suck carbon directly out of the air and store it underground. By contrast, United Airlines was moving in this direction much earlier, and is now bragging about it. It has invested heavily in companies researching synthetic jet fuel with lower emissions, to meet the Biden administration’s goal of 3 billion gallons by 2030 for U.S. production. That will require the development of 300 to 400 synthetic fuel plants; it currently has about 10. “Lots of companies set goals without a road map to get there,” said Lauren Riley, managing director of global environmental affairs and sustainability at United Airlines. “We realized that to rely on a mechanism like carbon offsets would be writing a check for someone to capture carbon elsewhere while we wouldn’t make any decisions differently. It felt disingenuous and would not be modifying our operations in any way. Why would we do that?” Should I tell school district authorities we fired their new employee for lying? Reader: Our company hired a remote employee last year. We let them go after about eight weeks. Work We found they Advice were only signing in for meetings KARLA L. and not getting MILLER work done, taking credit for others’ work, and throwing teammates under the bus to deflect questions. When they sensed we were about to let them go, they vindictively deleted hundreds of documents in shared folders. When their company credit card statement came in, it showed nearly $5,000 worth of personal expenses from weeks before they were fired. We were able to get the money back from the credit card but did not pursue other charges. This person’s résumé included a previous assistant principalship, as well as over a decade of other K-12 educational experience. I recently noticed on LinkedIn that they have a new job at an elementary school, working with kids identified as needing extra help. Their LinkedIn profile history has multiple differences from the résumé they sent us — for example, it now says they were a principal rather than an assistant principal — and does not show that they worked for us. Obviously I want to see justice served. It doesn’t feel fair that someone can get away with abusing other people the way they did. Also, as a parent, I cannot stand the idea that someone with that level of integrity is working with B USINE SS vulnerable kids. Part of me wants to notify the district about this person’s character, but I’m also concerned they would try to plot against me if they found out. What would you do? Karla: I share your frustration that people can deliberately do bad things and escape the slap of justice. But I’m less certain on when it becomes our individual duty to call down that hand ourselves. Even if you aren’t worried about the former employee retaliating against you personally, their current employer is unlikely to simply take the word of one stranger without questioning your motives and seeking corroboration. That could end up pulling you under some scrutiny. Pursuing someone else’s comeuppance rarely pays off for the pursuer, even when the pursuit is justified, so it’s reasonable to question whether the potential cost to you is worth saying something right now. Also, if I’m reading your question correctly, you aren’t the one making the calls about hiring and firing and whether to press charges. If that’s the case, you’re unlikely to get corroboration from your employer, which has already declined to prosecute their socalled victimless crimes. (Victimless, that is, except for the companies absorbing the cost of those unpaid charges, or the rest of us paying higher prices as a result.) If contacted, your employer would probably just stick to confirming employment, title and dates of service. Without corroboration, the new employer may just dismiss your complaint as a personal smear campaign. As for fudging facts on their résumé and LinkedIn profile, a background check should have uncovered some of those discrepancies, but chronically understaffed and underfunded educational systems may not have the resources for a detailed investigation. Since your employer filed no charges, no red flags would show up on a criminal-background check. And when it comes to omitting their Dilbert two-month stint with your company, I generally advise readers to leave off short-term filler jobs that don’t contribute to their overall career narrative — with the caveat that bad behavior has a way of being found out, so they should be prepared to come clean about it. Here’s what pinches my conscience most: As qualified educators are driven to seek better-paying, less stressful opportunities, their replacements include a higher concentration of candidates such as your ex-colleague. Petty, vindictive adults have no business being in charge of children — although my inbox indicates such people exist at all levels of academia. But then again, someone can be “bad” in an adult context and still be good with children. It’s possible your ex-colleague, as long as they’re not handling money or working remotely without supervision, can be the help those kids need. So with all those ping-ponging counterpoints in mind, the question becomes one of probable harm. Will keeping this information to yourself allow further harm to occur? Can sharing it prevent harm from happening again? If your ex-colleague’s past misbehavior involved abuse of children, or if their new position involves access to other people’s money, that’s a mandate for speaking up. Otherwise, I’d be inclined to give karma space and time to do its thing, and wait until it invites you to share what you know — say, for example, if you make friends with the parent of a child in the care of your former colleague. karla.miller@washpost.com Scott Adams Editor: Lori Montgomery • Art Directors: Tucker Harris, Emily Wright • Photo Editor: Haley Hamblin • E-mail: sundaybiz@washpost.com • Telephone: 202-334-9800 • Mail: The Washington Post, Sunday Business, 1301 K St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20071 • Advertising: Noelle Wainwright, 202-334-7610, wainwrightn@washpost.com
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ G3 EE TECHNOLOGY Before your phone undergoes repair work, make sure those secrets are safe BY C HRIS V ELAZCO Shattered screens. Bum batteries. An extended dip in the toilet. The phones we poke at every day can be surprisingly sturdy, but invincible? Not even close. And even though companies such as Apple and Samsung have launched self-service programs for some straightforward fixes, sometimes a trip to a local repair shop — or gleaming gadget store — is unavoidable. Just don’t forget about securing your personal data first. After all, our phones are about as personal as tech gets. And when you have to turn that device over to someone — most likely a stranger — it’s worth taking every precaution. (That’s especially true when you have to mail in your phone for repairs, since it could run into even more people during transit.) The next time you need to get your phone fixed, be sure to have these things in mind: Keep control of your phone number Unless you’re fairly sure your repair job will be a quick one, you’ll probably want to make sure you can still stay connected. If your phone still has a physical SIM card — that tiny sliver of plastic and silicon that stores your phone number — you can remove it and pop it into another phone to use as needed. Not everyone will be that lucky. Some newer smartphones — including all of Apple’s new iPhone 14 models sold in the United States — use “embedded” SIMs instead of those fiddly bits of plastic. That means you can’t walk out of that repair shop and easily slip your phone number into another device. Our advice? The moment you know you’ll have to hand over your phone for repairs, call your wireless carrier to figure out your options. If you’re lucky, you can temporarily transfer your service to another phone that works with an eSIM — that includes iPhones from the XR and XS generation, newer Samsung Galaxy S phones from the S20 onward, and all but the first Google Pixel phone. If that’s not an option, you may be able to reactivate a physical SIM card that’s still wedged inside your last phone to use temporarily. And if all else fails, you may have to venture to a carrier store to get a physical SIM to use in one of your older phones until you get the newly repaired phone back. The most secure option There’s only one way to be absolutely sure a repair technician can’t poke around in your files: get rid of all of them before you hand over your phone. Here’s how to make that happen safely. 1. Back up your phone. For iPhones, you can choose to either back up everything to iCloud or directly to a computer with a USB cable. We recommend the latter, as it’s usually a lot faster. Things can be a little trickier for Android phones; you can back up your installed apps, messages, preferences and more to your Google account, but you’ll have to make sure your photos and important files are saved somewhere else. Google Photos and Google Drive are obvious choices, things as safely as you can. Either way, you can also remotely erase an iPhone or Android phone from the comfort of your computer. If you have an Android phone that seems like a step too far, there’s one more thing to try: remotely logging out of your Google account. That ensures that others can’t see anything you have stored in, say, your Gmail or Google Drive’s cloud storage. Here’s how to do it from a computer: View your account settings at myaccount.google.com. Click on the Security option on the left side of the screen. Scroll down to the box labeled “Your devices,” then click on “Manage all devices.” Click the name of the device you want to log out of, followed by “Sign out.” If your phone won’t turn on EMMA KUMER/ILLUSTRATION FOR THE WASHINGTON POST but you may also want to store files on your computer instead. 2. Erase your phone. Once you’re sure your important files are stored somewhere safe, wipe your phone entirely. On iPhones, open the Settings app, tap General, Transfer or Reset iPhone, Erase All Contents and Settings. Different Android phones organize things their own way. You can open the Settings app, tap System or General management, select Reset, then choose the option for a Factory Data Reset. 3. Restore your phone. Once your repaired (or replaced, or new) phone is in your hands, begin by setting it up as normal. At some point during the setup process, you’ll be asked if you want to restore from a backup. Be sure to pick the right — in this case, probably the most recent — one! The alternatives If you’re giving your phone to someone — anyone — to work on away from your supervision, you should seriously consider the backup-erase-restore process. But what if your phone is in such bad shape that you really can’t even use it? Don’t worry — it happens to the best of us. And there are still a few precautions you can take, even without directly touching your phone. If your phone still turns on Android phones and iPhones that still turn on and connect to the internet leave us with some helpful options. If you’ve previously set up your device to back up to iCloud or Google One automatically, you can check the last time that has happened and wait for the next auto backup if needed. Maybe it turns out you have a workable backup after all, or maybe you just want to play We hate to say it, but there’s not much you can do if this is the case. If you’re really concerned about what is on your phone, you could try to remotely erase the phone the way we described above — should the phone turn on and connect to the internet, it will automatically try to reset itself. For basic repairs such as screen replacements and battery swaps, going to a local shop or a chain such as uBreakiFix is fine. But if you find yourself in a situation like this where your phone truly won’t come back to life, the best play might be to pursue repair through the company that made the phone — if only because it improves the chances of getting a full replacement.

So stop panicking. normal market ups and downs and attributing any moves directly to election results.” How do politics color investors’ actions in an unhelpful way? Short-term decisions based on election results could create fear of a long-term market decline for some investors. “When voters strongly favor one political party over another, it creates a bias toward whatever they do as being right,” Egan said. “If your party has a bad election night and you pull out of the markets because you think things are going to turn for the worse, you’re leaving at a time when market uncertainty is going down, which the market likes. “Lots of factors go into how markets perform, and, in general, people overestimate the impact of politicians, especially over the long term.” How can reacting swiftly to election results harm performance? Panic selling because your favorite politician didn’t win or political party didn’t dominate is likely to harm your investment performance, because of the time you spend out of the market, Egan said. “Markets tend to rise in the short term after midterms,” he said. “Missing even a few of the best market days in any given year can absolutely crush your overall returns.” From 1993 to 2013, the S&P 500 had an annualized return of 9.2 percent, he said. “But if you had missed just the 10 best market days during that time period, your annual returns would have dropped to roughly half, or 5.4 percent.” “Markets tend to rise in the short term after midterms. Missing even a few of the best market days in any given year can absolutely crush your overall returns.” Dan Egan, managing director of behavioral finance at Betterment, a digital investment advisory firm Historically, how do the markets perform after midterms? Temporary turbulence in the stock market, such as on Election Day, might scare some investors into selling. That would be a mistake, Egan said, pointing to reports from Vanguard and U.S. Bank. Vanguard’s research, which goes back to 1860, found that the compounded annual return for a portfolio of 60 percent equities and 40 percent fixed income performed roughly the same whether a Republican or Democrat was elected president. “Some may assume that one political party may have a better effect on market performance than the other, but evidence and historical data both show that this theory also falls flat,” wrote Aviva Miller, a financial adviser at Vanguard Personal Advisor Services. “In the end, long-term investing success does not rely on short-term market developments,” Miller wrote. “Instead, it’s more important to have a well-balanced, diversified plan that you hold for the longterm.” The U.S. Bank report, conducted before Tuesday’s midterm elections, asked: Does history provide any guide for investors on what election outcomes might mean for the markets and economy? Analysts studied Bloomberg stock market data from the past 60 years, which included 15 midterm elections, and found that the S&P 500 “has historically outperformed the market in the 12-month period after a midterm election, with an average return of 16.3%.” Is there anything people should do once the dust settles?

If you’re still concerned about your portfolio, talk to your financial adviser to reassess your financial goals, progress and risk tolerance. “In times like these, it can also be a good idea to log off social media and disconnect for a few days,” Egan said. “You won’t miss the important stuff, but you’ll avoid a lot of ephemeral stress.” If you have a personal finance question for Michelle, please call 855-ASK-POST (855-275-7678).

G4 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 DEPARTMENT OF DATA Mixed-race neighborhoods have become the U.S. norm BY T ED M ELLNIK AND A NDREW V AN D AM Deep in the bowels of the nation’s 2020 Census lurks a quiet milestone: For the first time in modern American history, most White people live in mixed-race neighborhoods. This marks a tectonic shift from just a generation ago. Back in 1990, 78 percent of White people lived in predominantly White neighborhoods, where at least 4 of every 5 people were also White. In the 2020 Census, that’s plunged to 44 percent. Large pockets of segregation remain, but as the nation’s White population shrinks for the first time and Hispanic, Asian, Black and Native Americans fuel the nation’s growth, diverse neighborhoods have expanded from urban cores into suburbs that once were colored by a steady stream of White flight from inner cities. Across the 9,700 neighborhoods that became mixed in 2020, White population dropped by almost 300,000. Meanwhile, the number of Hispanics jumped by 1.5 million, the largest part of a 4.3 million increase in nonWhites in those neighborhoods. This demographic shift has scrambled the nation’s politics, introducing new groups of often left-leaning voters into typically conservative White-dominated enclaves, according to Chris Maggio, a sociologist at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Department of Criminology, Law and Justice. Maggio says the changes may be helping to stoke a backlash against immigration, especially among less-educated White voters, that has helped boost the political fortunes of former president Donald Trump. “Latino growth in particular is associated with increased Trump voting in places where there were few Latinos previously,” Maggio said. More broadly, a new majority of all Americans, 56 percent, now live in mixed neighborhoods where neither White people nor non-Whites predominate — double the figure that lived in mixed neighborhoods in 1990, accord- ing to a Washington Post analysis of census data. By racial group, 56 percent of White Americans live in mixed neighborhoods, as do 55 percent of Hispanic Americans, 57 percent of Black people and 70 percent of Asian people. William H. Frey, a Brookings Institution senior fellow and author of the book “Diversity Explosion,” traces the trend to sharply increased immigration from Latin America and Asia during the 1990s, as more Latinos and Asian Americans began to disperse to the suburbs and “Back when my greatgrandmother was young … if you could pass for White, you would pass for White.” Kay Decker, professor emeritus at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, on American Indians, who now increasingly claim their heritage elsewhere. “This dispersion continued more dramatically in the 2000s,” Frey said. “Also in the 2000s, for the first time, more Black Americans lived in suburbs than cities.” To highlight the changing circumstances of White Americans, we’re using a conservative definition of mixed. Here it means that no single race, or even all nonWhites together, make up 80 percent of the neighborhood population. A more traditional measure of diversity, which treats each racial group separately, finds similar trends and rankings, albeit at slightly different levels. Some of the swiftest change came in Oklahoma. In 1990, fewer than a third of Sooners lived in mixed-race neighborhoods; 15 states had higher rates. By 2020, 93 percent of Oklahomans lived in mixed-race neighborhoods — the highest rate in the nation. A soaring Hispanic population powered the diversification of the Sooner State. It grew more than fivefold from 1990 to 2020 as newcomers rushed to work in food-processing plants, farms, feedlots and construction sites throughout the state. But Kay Decker, professor emeritus of sociology at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, pointed out that a subtler force is also in action. The state’s Native Americans, many descended from the Southeastern and Midwest tribes that were forcibly removed to the state, have become more likely to report their heritage. “Back when my great-grandmother was young, even if you were American Indian, you didn’t say you were,” Decker said. “If you could pass for White, you would pass for White.” “Those people are finally, in many respects, recognizing that it’s okay to claim their heritage,” she said. And indeed, our analysis shows the share of Oklahomans claiming multiple racial backgrounds almost doubled from 2010 to 2020. And in Oklahoma, more than any other state, people reporting multiple racial backgrounds are likely to claim Native ancestry as one of them. Washington and Oregon also saw extraordinary transformations. The once-White Pacific Northwest states drew diverse newcomers from around the nation and world to their emerging tech-fueled metropolises. In both states, the Hispanic population has more than quadrupled since 1990, while the Asian population has more than tripled. Racially mixed neighborhoods continue to be less common in small towns and rural areas, and are increasing the most in the suburbs. Across large metro suburbs and medium metros, the share of people in racially mixed neighborhoods jumped by double digits over the past decade to 59 percent. Because of their large populations, those changing suburbs can influence close elections when their votes shift. In the presidential swing state of Georgia, for example, the rapidly diversifying Atlanta suburbs played a key role in President Biden’s 2020 victory. The suburban vote shifted toward Demo- crats by almost 214,000 votes, and Biden won the state by 12,000. Michigan and Wisconsin saw similar shifts. The fastest-diversifying metro areas were the Northern California rodeo hot spot of Redding and the well-touristed eastern Poconos outpost of Stroudsburg, Pa. In both cities, every single resident lived in a predominantly White neighborhood in 1990 — now just 15 and 17 percent do, respectively. The neighborhoods that transitioned from White to mixed over the past three decades often follow the path of population growth as it moves from city center to suburban rings around superstar cities like Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Minneapolis. There are some exceptions to the declining White trend, especially in neighborhoods dotting dozens of inner cities. There, urban redevelopment has gone hand-in-hand with increasing White populations, while Black residents and other non-Whites have been slowly displaced. When we say neighborhoods, we mean census tracts, which typically hold about 3,800 people. We created our tract data by rolling up even smaller blocklevel estimates to fit 2020 census tract boundaries, so that we could compare individual neighborhoods over time — something that’s not usually possible given the constantly shifting outlines of official census tracts. We chose 80 percent as a threshold for a mixed-race neighborhood, where non-Whites begin to have a noticeable presence. Although mixed neighborhoods can still have a White majority, our analysis showed that threshold to be a tipping point that’s often followed by steady diversification. In tracts that first became mixed in the 2000 and 2010 censuses, non-White population has continued to grow on average by double digits since. Neighborhoods that first became mixed in 2010 now average 37 percent non-White, and those that became mixed in 2000 now tend to be majority non-White.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ G5 EE A year later, tales from the pandemic’s ‘Great Resignation’ took an unexpectedly long time to recover. After she was released from the hospital, it didn’t make financial sense for the family to hire an in-home nurse because it would wipe out Randall’s paycheck and still not provide all the care she needed. They still have health insurance through her remote job as a digital archivist. And they have generous family support on both sides. His wife’s aunt paid for the construction of a ramp and covered porch at their home, making it easier for his wife to maneuver her wheelchair. The aunt also gives Randall what she calls “walking-around money,” for things like gas. “We are not getting on like before,” said Randall, whose income used to cover home repairs, like the bathroom they are hoping to fix up. “But all the bills are paid and we are not hanging on by a thread,” he said.

Quit date: August 2021 Old job: Maintenance technician New job: Content creator There are months when content creator Mercury Stardust has no idea where the money will come from. “We think, have we reached the end of our tether?” Stardust left her job as a home maintenance technician in August 2021, after supervisors at the property management company told her to stop making TikToks. The videos served as home repair guides, specifically for LGBTQ people who were hesitant to call maintenance professionals. Since calling it quits, Stardust has expanded her “Trans Handy Ma’am” brand to sponsorships and speaking engagements, and she now counts 2 million TikTok followers. She sees her online platform as a means to stamp out stigma and teach people new skills. But feeding the content machine has its own drawbacks. “My mental health has been at an all-time low,” she said. Keeping up with an online audience, a crucial part of boosting engagement and shaping an online personality, also exposes creators to unrelenting criticism and the casual hostility that shadows much of the social web. “It’s hard to ignore the haters when it’s part of your job to listen to your audience,” she said. But she is adapting, using a separate phone for social media, seeing a therapist and performing a weekly burlesque show to keep her grounded and close to her community.

DAM host The special education teacher turned urban lifestyle podcast and radio host wants people to know quitting will not make your work life easier. “I’ve worked probably 10 to 100 times harder doing it for myself than I did as a teacher.” Kodaq, as he is known professionally, had been preparing to leave his job at an Atlanta public elementary school in 2020, before the pandemic hit. But when stay-at-home orders were issued in March, it gave him the room to build out his podcast without giving up his day job. He lived frugally, staying with his mom and cutting back on spending. By early 2021, Kodaq often found himself rushing between his remote classroom and the recording studio. Juggling the two became too much. He cashed out some cryptocurrency investments at a time prices were peaking, and quit teaching that March. Over the next year, he trawled news and social media for conversation material, outfitted his studio with better lighting, met with clients and linked up with the person who’d become his co-host. This past February, the first ratings arrived for his radio show. They exceeded expectations, coming in first in the 7 p.m.-to-midnight time slot, beating out more established hiphop stations in his area. To commemorate his winning gamble and new career, he got his first tattoo, the word “Legacy,” on his right forearm. The entrepreneurial grind has its own challenges, with days packed with emails, calls, interviews and recordings. But he feels more fulfilled now. “What I want people to know is it’s not the easier route, but it’s the better route,” he said. “And none of this is going to work if you don’t.” She said she doesn’t have to worry about being able to afford her everyday expenses. And she is now able to help her parents, who immigrated to Hawaii from the Philippines. “I put a down payment on a car for my mom, which is something I was never able to do before,” she said. After leaving her job as a health-care coach in April 2021, Arucan attended a 10-week coding boot camp. She lived off her savings and juggled gig work — driving for Lyft, DoorDash and Instacart — and a nanny job that provided free housing to make ends meet. Growing up, Arucan devoured travel podcasts and was especially moved by stories of women who pursued their dreams only later in life. After she quit, she longed for a steady paycheck. Cobbling together a living through part-time jobs had put her in survival mode. “I couldn’t go back to my job, and there were times that I wish that I could have because I was so desperate to have money,” Arucan Maplewood, Minn. said.

Los Angeles Quit date: August 2021 Old job: Restaurant host New job: Bartender Fans at Dodger Stadium love Sadri’s agave punch: tequila mixed with orange and lime juice with agave syrup. They also clamor for the rainbow special, a bright, layered concoction of Grenadine rum, pineapple and blue curaçao. The fledgling bartender loves the creativity of mixing drinks and the lively banter so intertwined with his profession. He also appreciates his company’s commitment to his growth. It’s a big departure from his last job as a restaurant host at an American cafe, making minimum wage but no tips. He asked his boss for more responsibility, maybe as a server. But once he realized they were not taking his career seriously, he started job hunting. In August 2021, he landed a food runner job with his current company, which services Dodger Stadium. It was a lower-level position that had him hauling more than 50 pounds of beer up and down the stadium steps. But there were opportunities for advancement. A two-week bartending certification course was all it took to move up to mixing and serving drinks to fans. Before quitting the restaurant, Sadri felt stuck and worried he wouldn’t be able to advance or afford to leave. The change proved better than he expected. “I’m happier now,” he said.

Quit date: April 2021 Old job: Health-care coach New job: Software engineer Arucan learned to code to support herself as a nomad and help her realize her dream of living out of a van, with all the freedom that brings. Her financial situation has changed dramatically since she landed a job as a software engineer at the beginning of the year. Taylor Reid, 28 Portland, Ore. Quit date: September 2021 Old job: Compliance officer New job: Lead copywriter Reid says her quality of life has improved tenfold since she quit last fall. She’s happier now, as a lead copywriter for an international public relations firm, where she helps top executives shape their stories online, works with a close-knit team and meets new clients the world over. “The vibes are immaculate,” she said. She’s earning more money and the work is closer to her own writerly, intellectual passions. Every day she’s learning something new. Reid’s career shift began with a pursuit for higher pay and greater stability. Her old job was a strain on her mental health, with an unreceptive boss, tedious duties and a lack of teamwork that felt isolating. Reid said she has never been especially frugal, but the pandemic shutdowns and social limitations meant forgoing dinners out and travel, allowing her to save money. That gave her the flexibility to step away. But even with a few months’ financial cushion, leaving came with risk because she didn’t have a full-time job lined up. She turned to coaching a girls soccer team at a local high school. She felt rejuvenated and filled with possibility. But as the weeks went by, anxiety set in. She started to question herself and her abilities, but she didn’t want to settle for the first job that came around. “I didn’t quit my last job just to take a new job that will make me feel the same way.” Eventually a recruiter noticed her “open to work” status on LinkedIn and contacted her, helping Reid land her current job. She had applied to more than 30 positions. “It took longer than I expected, but it worked out for the best in the end,” she said. “It was also a reminder to never let anyone make me doubt myself.”
G6 EZ THE WASHINGTON POST EE . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 markets Stocks soar after inflation data comes in cooler than expected STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE S&P 500 Stoxx 600 MSCI World MSCI Asia Pacific P EYTON F ORTE | B LOOMBERG N EWS BY 18% underlying indicator of inflation, pulled back from a 40-year high with a 6.3 percent advance. The data strengthened wagers on a 50-basis-point Fed hike in December and on Thursday spurred the largest one-day stock rally in over two years. Friday’s University of Michigan survey revealed that consumers’ short- and long-term expectations increased in early November. Afterward, Boston Fed President Susan M. Collins said the central bank has more work to do to tame inflation but that “the risk of over-tightening has increased.” The Treasury will sell 13- and 26-week bills Monday. It will auction four- and eight-week bills Thursday. U.S. equities rallied last week as a smaller-than-expected increase in inflation fueled bets that the Federal Reserve will soon dial back its aggressive monetary tightening. The S&P 500 index jumped 5.9 percent in the five-day period for its best week since late June and closed Friday at 3,993. The Nasdaq surged 8.1 percent on the week, and the Dow Jones industrial average gained 4.1 percent. Consumer price index data for October rose 7.7 percent from a year earlier, the smallest annual bump since the start of the year and well below the 7.9 percent economists had projected.

We are D.C.’s #1 source for employment news. AN ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT TO THE WASHINGTON POST Inter-office polls: when to get feedback and when to go solo A common refrain among employees at companies with morale issues is that higher-ups don’t listen to them. Their input isn’t sought at all, or it’s collected and then perceived by employees to be ignored. Building a culture of feedback is key to increasing employee engagement, but it’s sometimes difficult for managers to know when to ask the group for ideas and when it’s time to make the decision based on your own judgment. Knowing how to strategically seek and use employee input is a balancing act. When to ask employees for input In general, you should seek opportunities to involve employees in key decisions as often as possible. Asking for someone’s opinion and demonstrating that you are listening to it signals respect—and the need to feel respected is critical to employees of all ages and levels. The key is to ask for employee feedback at the right time. So when should you ask for feedback? When it’s early enough to make a difference. You don’t know where good ideas are going to come from. Employees on the front lines are helping your clients overcome challenges every day, and they’re most likely to know where inefficiencies exist. PRINT: Advice, events, and Jobs every Sunday.

This can be scary for management, but when companies face difficult decisions related to employee benefits and tightened budgets, asking for employee input is useful both for employee communication and ownership in the process. For instance, when faced with rising health insurance premiums, asking employees for feedback on potential benefit structures both gives your team a voice in decision-making and lets them know negative change is coming. When you want to be a better leader. Asking employees for feedback on your performance can be uncomfortable, but it’s critical to knowing how your leadership style is perceived. This can be part of the annual formal performance review process, but it can also be part of ongoing conversations. Check in with employees routinely to ask how you can better support them in their roles. Even though you want to err on the side of asking for feedback, there are always caveats. When should you considering making a decision yourself and moving forward? When you have more feedback than you need.

SC8 EZ EE THE WASHINGTON POST SAMURAI SUDOKU . SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 13 , 2022 (c) www.djape.net How to Play The rules of Samurai Sudoku are the same as in the popular Sudoku puzzles that appear in the daily comics section. As with standard Sudoku, the Samurai version requires no math, just logic, reasoning ... and an iron will. The goal is to fill in each column, row and 3X3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus completely on one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another. What’s important to understand is this: Each Samurai puzzle is ONE puzzle, not five separate Sudoku puzzles that just overlap each other. Occasionally people claim that, for example, the "bottom right" 9X9 puzzle had more than one solution. Well, yes it may, but the entire puzzle can be solved in only one way. Never resort to guessing!
