Floods are ravaging Central Texas and tainting its water
Historic levels of rainfall
have led to a boil-water
advisory in Austin
BY E VA R UTH M ORAVEC
AND F RANCES S TEAD S ELLERS
austin — The rains started inno-
cently enough — a refreshing
break from a summerlong
drought that had parched the
landscape and sent residents of
this water-loving city for relief,
swimming and boating in its
spectacular man-made lakes.
But what has happened is more
insidious: The season has become
one of the wettest autumns on
record, causing five deaths in the
Central Texas region and tainting
an entire city’s water supply.
This city of 1 million people
took the unprecedented step this
week of asking residents to boil
drinking water for three minutes
to kill any bacteria, the culmina-
tion of a series of floods that have
deposited large amounts of sedi-
ment from the soil, as well as oil
and other pollutants into its wa-
ter system, overwhelming its
water-treatment plants.
The warning intensified Tues-
day, when the contamination trig-
gered a state-mandated boil-water
notice.
Texas’s rainfall this autumn
has been historic: Since Sept. 1,
Central Texas has gotten any-
where from 200 to 500 percent of
the normal rainfall it receives,
according to the National Weath-
er Service. Fifteen inches of rain
have fallen in Austin, marking the
18th wettest fall.
“Most of the state was in
drought,” said meteorologist
Brett Williams. “And that’s basi-
cally all been wiped out in a
matter of several weeks.”
The floods led to the deaths of
four people who were swept away
from an RV park in Junction, a
town about 140 miles west of
Austin. A fifth person died in a
low water crossing.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has
put the State Operations Center
on heightened readiness as floods
this month rampaged through
the nearby Hill Country, washing
away a bridge and ripping into
homes.
The dramatic measures reflect
the challenges to a city familiar
with the historic hazards of sud-
den flooding that have been exac-
erbated by unusual weather pat-
terns, creating a high-velocity tor-
rent that swept across a vast rural
region and kept sediment sus-
pended as it raced toward the city.
“Because of changes in the cli-
mate, big floods have become
more frequent,” said Raymond
Slade, an Austin-based hydrolo-
gist.
Residents who in the past left
water worries to engineers and
other experts are now feeling the
effects on their daily lives. On
Wednesday, Austin opened seven
water distribution centers for
them. “We’re giving out water to
people who can’t boil it or can’t
afford any more bottled water,”
said Bryce Bencivengo, a spokes-
man for the city. Bencivengo said
most of the water was purchased,
some was donated and some was
provided by the state.
Wearing a neon yellow vest and
holding a rainbow umbrella, Rob-
ert Aleman stood next to a blue
signs bearing the words “WATER
AGUA,” directing motorists to a
distribution site in Southwest
Austin, where city employees
from a smattering of departments
loaded cases of bottled water into
vehicles.
Sabrina Lau Marquez, 37, came
to pick up water with her mother.
She is used to boiling water for
formula for her 1-year-old son,
she said, but she was grateful for
the bottles as a backup. Originally
from New York City, Marquez said
she was impressed by the civility
of her fellow residents.
“If this was New York, there
would have been a riot already,”
she said.
The distribution centers will be
open until the boil-water advi-
sory is lifted.
Help in addressing Austin’s wa-
ter crisis has come from various
places. A few breweries gave out
water they had boiled to brew

handed out free water, too.
Since Monday, the San Antonio
Water System has supplied water
for institutions including the Tra-
vis County Jail, the city’s animal
shelter and the Emergency Oper-
ations Center, Bencivengo said.
More bulk water from San Anto-
nio and trucks from Fort Worth
were expected to arrive soon.
Central Texans know their
floods. Flash Flood Alley, as this
area is sometimes called, is one of
the most flood-prone regions of
the country thanks to a combina-
tion of geography and geology.
Heavy rainfall is created when
moisture from the ocean meets
the cooler mountain air of the Hill
Country. The rain swooshes rap-
idly off the granite and limestone
landscape, funneling into mount-
ing torrents as it rushes down-
ward.
Among the most memorable
floods was in 1935, when Colora-
do’s swelling tributaries de-
stroyed the bridge in Llano before
splitting Austin in two and rush-
ing, unhindered, toward the sea.
The response has been to cre-

form the Highland Lakes. They
act as drinking-water reservoirs,
provide a source of hydroelectric
power and are part of a system of
waterways that course like veins
through Central Texas, support-
ing life and offering recreational
opportunities. Lakefront proper-

summer heat.

Lady Bird Lake, which anchors
downtown Austin, is often filled
with paddleboarders, kayakers
and rowing teams at practice.
Just days after thousands filled
Zilker Park for the annual Austin
City Limits music festival, flood-
water turned it into a turbulent
vat of what resembled chocolate
milk. Someone put an orange life
vest on a statue of musician Stevie
Ray Vaughan, his back to the
debris-filled morass. The popular
hike-and-bike trail was temporar-
ily closed.
But above all, Austin’s lakes
protect the city from the Colorado
River by capturing water, which,
according to John Hofmann, ex-
ecutive vice president of water at
the Lower Colorado River Au-
thority, is entering the upper end
of the system at a rate of “250
Olympic swimming pools of wa-
ter every minute.”
That astounding feat of engi-
neering has succeeded despite
mounting challenges in what the
Texas Demographic Center calls
one of the fastest-growing re-
gions in the United States.
“It only becomes a flood when
there are people nearby” said Don
Riley, former deputy commander
of the Army Corps of Engineers,
noting that the excess water often
goes unnoticed when it washes
over farmland.
The floods have already re-
quired some rescues. On Oct. 8,
Jamie McDonald — who is run-
ning across the United States to
raise $1 million for charity under
the name “Adventureman” —
awoke in his hotel room about 40
miles outside Austin to “loads of
shouting and screaming,” the
Briton said in a phone interview.
Outside on the balcony, a
crowd had formed, yelling en-
couragement to a naked man
holding onto a tree limb in the
water. Soon, a helicopter came
and swooped him up, depositing
him on solid ground.
“It was spectacular to see how
they dealt with it,” said McDon-
ald. “It definitely put a little bit of
a fear factor in me.”
That was when the water start-
ed to rise — first 10 feet one day,
then 24 feet another, and finally
39 feet, said Briley Mitchell, exec-
utive director of the Llano Cham-
ber of Commerce.
“The ground was just saturat-
ed,” he said. “That just created the
perfect storm.”

Obama, Hillary Clinton are among targets of pipe bombs

BOMBS FROM A1
democracy and liberal political
groups.
Officials described the devices
as attempted acts of terrorism and
cautioned that the number of
bombs — and intended victims —
could grow. FBI Director Christo-
pher A. Wray issued an appeal for
the public’s help to catch the
bomber and warned people not to
touch suspicious packages.
“This investigation is of the
highest priority for the FBI,” Wray
said in a statement. “We ask any-
one who may have information to
contact the FBI. Do not hesitate to
call; no piece of information is too
small to help us in this investiga-
tion.”
Officials said the packages used
as a return address the office of
Wasserman Schultz, who chaired
the Democratic National Commit-
tee during part of the 2016 cam-
paign. One such package used an
incorrect address for former at-
torney general Eric H. Holder Jr.,
and it was “returned” to her office
in Sunrise, Fla., where it was inter-
cepted, according to officials. Au-
thorities do not believe she had
anything to do with the packages
and think she was a potential
victim. A spokesman for Holder
declined to comment.
The bomb addressed to Bren-
nan was found in the mail at
CNN’s offices in New York. Since
leaving the government, Brennan
has been an outspoken critic of
President Trump; he is an on-air
analyst for NBC News and
MSNBC, rather than CNN.
On Wednesday night, the FBI
issued a statement saying investi-
gators found “two additional
packages, both addressed to Rep.
Maxine Waters, that are similar in
appearance” to the other five.
In a statement, Waters (D-Ca-
lif.) said she had been told by
police that her office “was the
target of a suspicious package that
has been referred to the FBI. I am
appreciative of the law enforce-
ment entities who intercepted the
package and are investigating this
matter. I unequivocally condemn
any and all acts of violence and
terror.”
The packages came with com-
puter-printed address labels, six
Forever stamps and return ad-
dresses with Wasserman Schultz’s
name misspelled, officials said.
Law enforcement officials de-
scribed the devices as pipes
stuffed with explosive material
and wrapped in electrical wire
and tape, but they provided no
detail on how they would have
been detonated. The FBI, the Se-
cret Service, the NYPD and other

reau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fire-
arms and Explosives official who
spent decades investigating bomb
suspects, said federal agents are
carefully poring over the packages
for any clues they may hold as to
the identity or location of the
sender.
“You have to be extremely care-
ful when you examine this stuff,
because a piece of tape could have
a fingerprint on it,” said Brady.
Most mail-bombing suspects
are “loner types,” said Brady, who
added he doubts this bomber
made a mistake when he used a
bad address for Holder.
“That looks like an intentional
manipulation of the system, to try
to get it to go to the congresswom-

Amid the frenetic pace of the
investigation, some alarms
turned out to be false. A suspi-
cious package sent to New York
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) was in
fact a thumb drive, according to
the NYPD. Authorities also
searched a building in San Diego
that houses a newspaper before
concluding there was nothing
dangerous there.
The known recipients of the
bombs are all frequent targets of
conservative politicians, includ-
ing Trump. Speaking at the White
House, the president decried the
bombs and pledged that the feder-
al government would bring those
responsible to justice.
“In these times, we have to
unify,” he said. “We have to come
together and send one very clear,
strong and unmistakable message
that acts or threats of political
violence of any kind have no place
in the United States of America.”
Those words did not satisfy
CNN President Jeff Zucker, who
issued a statement sharply critical
of the administration’s posture
toward the news media.
“There is a total and complete
lack of understanding at the
White House about the serious-
ness of their continued attacks on
the media,” Zucker said. “The
president, and especially the
White House press secretary,
should understand their words
matter. Thus far, they have shown
no comprehension of that.”
An Obama representative re-
ferred questions to the Secret
Service. Speaking in Florida on
Wednesday, Clinton said her fam-
ily was “fine, thanks to the men
and women of the Secret Service
who intercepted the package ad-
dressed to us long before it made
its way to our home.”
She also spoke to the anger
pulsing through American poli-
tics: “It is a troubling time, isn’t it?
It is a time of deep divisions, and
we have to do everything we can
to bring our country together.”
Politicians of both parties con-
demned the mail bombs. Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
(R-Ky.) called them “attempted
acts of domestic terrorism.” New
York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) used
similar language.
“This clearly is an act of terror,
attempting to undermine our free
press and leaders of this country
through acts of violence,” de Bla-
sio said.
As news of the homemade
bombs spread, authorities vowed
to ramp up security measures.
The NYPD increased patrols in
areas linked to public figures and
at media offices.
The Senate sergeant at arms
sent a message to senators and
their staffers advising them to be
cautious when handling mail and
reminding people not to bring
unopened mail or packages from
outside into their Senate offices.
About 30 offices associated
with the political work of Tom
Steyer, a major Democratic donor,
have stepped up security signifi-
cantly in the past 48 hours in light
of the threats to Soros and others,
said Erik Olvera, spokesman for
Steyer’s group Need to Impeach.
They have also increased security
measures for Steyer, the biggest
donor to super PACs supporting
liberal causes and candidates this
election cycle.

was found at Soros’s home.
In addition, an undetonated
device addressed to Brennan was
found at CNN’s New York head-
quarters and another, addressed
to Waters, was discovered at a
congressional mail-sorting facili-
ty. A similar package was found
addressed to former attorney
general Eric H. Holder Jr.
Trump and other Republican
leaders rushed Wednesday to de-
cry the thwarted attacks on Dem-
ocrats and CNN, saying that such
acts cannot be tolerated. For
many politicians, the day was a
reckoning — a sobering pause
just 13 days from Election Day to
reflect on a political atmosphere
notable for apocalyptic imagery
and violent confrontations.
Speaking from the East Room
of the White House, Trump said
he and officials in his administra-
tion were “extremely angry, up-
set, unhappy about what we wit-
nessed.” The president sounded a
call to all Americans to unite,
though he did not address the
tone of his own campaign rheto-
ric.
“We have to come together and
send one very clear, strong, un-
mistakable message that acts or
threats of political violence of any
kind have no place in the United
States of America,” Trump said.
Senate Minority Leader
Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) responded in a
joint statement: “President
Trump’s words ring hollow until
he reverses his statements that
condone acts of violence.”
They went on to argue that
Trump has “divided Americans
with his words and actions,” cit-
ing his cheers for Rep. Greg
Gianforte (R-Mont.) for body-
slamming a journalist; his equiv-
ocations over the deadly neo-Na-
zi and white supremacist rally in
August 2017 in Charlottesville;
his encouragement of supporters
at rallies who have gotten violent
with protesters; his praise for
foreign dictators who kill their
own citizens; and his attacks on
the free press as “the enemy of

the people.”
Trump traveled Wednesday
evening to Wisconsin for a cam-
paign rally, where he sought to
make a show of behaving himself
by pointing out during his rela-
tively subdued speech that he
was “trying to be nice.”
“No nation can succeed that
tolerates violence or the threat of
violence as a method of political
intimidation, coercion or con-
trol,” Trump told the crowd in
Mosinee.
Trump again shirked responsi-
bility for his own inflammatory
contributions to the political dis-
course and instead assigned
blame to others. “The media also
has a responsibility to set a civil
tone and to stop the endless
hostility and constant negative —
and oftentimes, false — attacks
and stories,” he said.
The president, who has made a
sport out of mocking his political
rivals with nicknames such as
“Crooked Hillary,” also exhorted
others in the political arena to
“stop treating their opponents as
morally defective.”
Jon Meacham, a journalist,
historian and author of the book
“The Soul of America: The Battle
for our Better Angels,” said the
most divisive political periods of
the nation’s history have resulted
in violence against political fig-
ures. He said he has long worried
history could repeat itself in the
Trump era.
“We have examples of political
violence in the United States in
the age of Jackson, in the road to
Civil War, during the Civil War, in
the Progressive Era and in the
cataclysm of the 1960s,” Mea-
cham said. “What happened to-
day is a reminder of the stakes of
the era in which we’re living. This
is an era of fundamental redefini-
tion of politics and culture. It
requires leadership that is
steadying, not incendiary, and
we’ve seen far too much incendi-
ary language from the top.”
Throughout the political
world, there were widespread
ALEX BRANDON/ASSOCIATED PRESS
calls to quickly bring to justice
those responsible.
Clinton, speaking at a fund-
raiser for congressional candi-
date Donna Shalala in Coral Ga-
bles, Fla., thanked the Secret
Service for intercepting the pack-
age addressed to her home and
called it “a troubling time.”
“It is a time of deep divisions,
and we have to do everything we
can to bring our country togeth-
er,” she said.
House Majority Whip Steve
Scalise (R-La.), who survived a
shooting that targeted lawmak-
ers at an Alexandria baseball field
in 2017, wrote in tweets, “These
attempted attacks that have been
made are beyond criminal, they
are acts of pure terror. Violence
and terror have no place in our
politics or anywhere else in our
society.”
He added, “As a nation, we
must agree that this is a danger-
ous path and it cannot become
the new normal.”
When asked Wednesday
whether some of Trump’s rheto-
ric might have contributed to the
mailings, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch
(R-Utah) defended the president.
“A lot of things could have
contributed to that,” he said.
He added, “I don’t see anything
really wrong with the president. I
think that, you know, he’s in a
tough position, he’s attacked on
all sides and he ought to be able
to express himself.”
But Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.),
who has long bemoaned the dis-
appearance of civility from the
nation’s politics, said Wednesday
that it was obvious to him that
the attempted attacks were “po-
litical.”
“What the president says mat-
ters, and if he were to take a more
civil tone, it would make a differ-
ence,” Flake said in an interview
on CNN. “Civility can’t wait until
after an election. The president
shouldn’t refer to the press as the
‘enemy of the people.’ . . . People
hear that and they follow it.”
CNN President Jeff Zucker said
that the White House has “a total
and complete lack of understand-
ing” about the consequences of
their attacks on the media.
“The president, and especially
the White House press secretary,
should understand their words
matter,” Zucker said in a state-
ment. “Thus far, they have shown
no comprehension of that.”
Trump has long assailed the
targets of the packages. He regu-
larly excoriates Obama’s presi-
dency and was a leading propo-
nent of the falsehood that the
nation’s first black president was
not born in the United States.
Despite defeating Clinton in
the 2016 presidential election,
Trump still goes after her in his
speeches, inspiring chants from
crowds to “Lock her up!” Before
Trump’s appearance at the Wis-
consin rally Wednesday, the
crowd erupted in a “Lock her up!”
chant while Senate Republican
candidate Leah Vukmir was at-
tacking Clinton.
At his rallies, Trump also rou-
tinely mocks Waters and attacks
CNN as reporting “fake news,” to
which his rally crowds regularly
chant back, “CNN sucks!” And
Soros has long been a target of
far-right groups and the subject
of conspiracy theories with anti-
Semitic overtones.
In the wake of angry protests
over Supreme Court Justice Brett
M. Kavanaugh’s confirmation
battle, Trump and other Republi-
cans have tried to cast Democrats
as the party of the “mob” and
attempted to link specific candi-
dates to radical figures on the
left.
A number of Trump’s support-
ers advanced the “false flag” theo-
ry on social media and talk radio,
arguing that the potential explo-
sive devices may have been sent
by liberals with the intention of
reversing the “mob” argument
and painting Democrats as vic-
tims of unruly conservatives.
Explaining the theory, con-
servative talk-radio host Rush
Limbaugh said on the air
Wednesday, “For the last few
weeks, the Democrats have had
all of that horrible PR, all of these
angry mobs . . . Wouldn’t it serve
you up here if you’re a Democrat
operative to make it look like the
Republicans are a bunch of in-
sane lunatics and have some
mobsters on their side as well?”
The “mob” frame has not only
been a feature of Trump’s rally
speeches, but also central to some
GOP campaign advertising.
In Minnesota’s rural 1st Con-
gressional District, the National
Republican Congressional Com-
mittee has repeatedly sought to
tie Dan Feehan, an Army veteran
who was awarded a Bronze Star,
to leftist anti-fascist activists who
have clashed with police and
right-wing protesters.
“Feehan works at a liberal or-
ganization bankrolled by George
Soros, chief financier of the glob-
al left and anti-American causes,”
a narrator says in one spot, as the
sound of smashing glass plays
over images of anarchist protest-
ers.

Political attacks on Soros escalating ahead of election

Critics, including Trump,
deride billionaire’s
support of liberal groups
BY M ICHAEL K RANISH
President Trump alleged last
week that George Soros is paying
people to protest at his rallies. A
top executive at Campbell Soup
tweeted that Soros was helping
thousands of Central American
migrants head in a caravan to the
United States. The county clerk
in Texas’s Harris County has
warned that Soros wants to con-
trol local elections.
The 88-year-old billionaire
hedge fund founder, one of the
country’s biggest Democratic do-
nors and long a target of the
right, has been the subject of
escalating political attacks in the
run-up to Election Day. On Face-
book, several conservative
groups — including the GOP
House campaign committee —
are running ads that feature
Soros as a boogeyman, according
to a review of political ad data
released by the social media
company.
The charged rhetoric is draw-
ing renewed criticism after Soros
was among a group of prominent
figures on the left targeted this
week with homemade explosive
devices.
“America’s political leadership
is stoking the fires of hate and
unleashing a climate that toler-
ates violence and racism,” said
Laura Silber, spokeswoman for
Soros’s Open Society Founda-
tions. “They are setting the tone
at the highest offices. We are
calling for restoring a level of
civility and respect for other
people’s opinions.”
In response to a request for
comment, a White House spokes-
man referred to a tweet by press
secretary Sarah Sanders, in
which she called the attempted
bombings “despicable” and said
“anyone responsible will be held
accountable to the fullest extent
of the law.”
Trump said Wednesday that
“we have to come together” and
send the message that “threats of
political violence of any kind
have no place in the United
States of America.”
Soros, who could not be
reached for comment, told The
Washington Post in a June inter-
view that he was unfazed by
efforts to demonize him.
“I’m proud of my enemies,” he
said.
Many of the attacks on Soros
have been fueled by his lengthy
history of extensive political
spending on behalf of liberal
causes and candidates. Since
2010, he has plowed $39 million
into super PACs aligned with
Democrats, campaign finance
records show.
This cycle, he has donated
$13.2 million so far to independ-
ent groups active in federal elec-
tions, including Priorities USA
Action, a major Democratic su-
per PAC; Win Justice, which
focuses on voter turnout in bat-
tleground states; and Senate Ma-
jority PAC, which is aligned with
Senate Democrats.
In addition to his political
giving, Soros’s Open Society
Foundations is slated to spend
about $1 billion this year pro-
moting free speech and other
issues in 100 countries, pour-
ing much of his fortune into
promoting liberal values and
fighting a rising tide of nation-
alism, including in the United
States. The nonprofit spends
$150 million domestically,
some of which helps funds
groups such as Planned Parent-
hood and the American Civil
Liberties Union.
Critics on the right — includ-
ing the president — have stoked
the image of Soros as an all-pow-
erful financier, often claiming
without evidence that he is re-
sponsible for grass-roots activi-
ties on the left.
In Washington, he was blamed
for the protests that erupted over
the nomination of Brett M. Ka-
vanaugh to the Supreme Court.
In Harris County, Tex., County
Clerk Stan Stanart claims on his
campaign website that Soros
wants to control local elections
— a statement he has left up even
after acknowledging it was based
on unfounded rumor, the Hous-
ton Chronicle reported.
In an interview with The Post
on Wednesday, Stanart — whose
office oversees voting in Houston
and the surrounding county —
said it was “a very strong rumor”
George Soros, founder of Soros Fund Management, photographed in Brussels last year. In an interview
in June, he said that he was unfazed by efforts to demonize him. “I’m proud of my enemies,” he said.
and “there are grounds for say-
ing Soros meddles in Harris
County politics.”
“Is he doing it now, I don’t
know,” he acknowledged. “I ha-
ven’t had time to go back and
update my website.”
Trump has increasingly made
references to Soros’s power, al-
leging during an Oct. 18 rally in
Missoula, Mont., that people
holding up signs for Democrats
are “paid by Soros or somebody,
right?” He said in an Oct. 11
interview with Fox News that
“the Democrats and Soros” paid
for protesters at prior rallies.
On Facebook, Soros figures
prominently in ads paid for by
conservative organizations and
GOP committees, according to
an archive of politically themed
ads posted online by the social
media company.
One of the biggest efforts is by
Judicial Watch, a conservative
group that is raising funds
through a campaign it calls “Ex-
pose Soros.” One of its Facebook
ads featured a black-and-white
photo of Soros circled in red.
Tom Fitton, president of Judi-
cial Watch, said in an interview
that he is investigating whether
U.S. taxpayer funds have backed
Soros’s agenda. He said he saw
nothing wrong with highlighting
Soros to help raise money for his
group.
“This is not unusual for folks
like Mr. Soros to rise in terms of
public consciousness, especially
because he is one of the biggest
supporters of hard-left activism
here and abroad,” Fitton said,
adding that the bombing at-
tempts would not affect his
group’s campaign.
“We will continue to investi-
gate the intersection between
the government and George So-
ros operations,” he said.
House GOP leaders have also
used Soros as a central figure in
their midterm messaging.
In an ad posted on Twitter on
Tuesday night, House Majority
Leader Kevin McCarthy of Cali-
fornia said in a video that Soros
is one of three people funding
the Democratic Party, along with
hedge fund founder Tom Steyer
and former New York mayor
Michael Bloomberg.
“We cannot allow Soros, Stey-
er and Bloomberg to BUY this
election!” McCarthy tweeted.
Matt Sparks, a spokesman for
JASPER JUINEN/BLOOMBERG NEWS
McCarthy, said that “the video
simply points out the enormous
financial contributions a select
few have made in this year’s
midterm campaigns. Any sugges-
tion that content condones or
incites violence is wrong.”
Some of the harshest attacks
on Soros this cycle have come
from the National Republican
Congressional Committee. One
of committee’s video ads attacks
a Democratic candidate for the
House from Minnesota, Dan Fee-
han, an Iraq War veteran. The ad
seeks to tie Feehan to “billionaire
George Soros” who “bankrolls
the resistance.” It shows Feehan
wearing a badge that says he is
“paid for by George Soros.” The
video concludes with a picture of
Soros and Feehan amid blazing
fires.
The NRCC released another ad
Wednesday, which accused Fee-
han of being tied to the “radical
George Soros.”
Sean Oyaas, Feehan’s cam-
paign manager, said in a state-
ment that “these dishonest at-
tacks are exactly what Minneso-
tans are tired of and represent a
broken Washington.”
A spokesman for the NRCC
did not respond to a request for
comment.
On Monday, a vice president of
government affairs of Campbell
Soup, Kelly Johnston, tweeted a
conspiracy theory that Soros’s
Open Society Foundations sent
“troop carriers” to support a
caravan of migrants from Cen-
tral America headed to the Unit-
ed States. He said that Soros’s
group “planned and is executing
this, including “where they defe-
cate.”
Campbell Soup said in a state-
ment that Johnston’s comment
does not represent the compa-
ny’s position. Tom Hushen, a
company spokesman, said John-
ston was not available for com-
ment.
The broadsides against Soros
come amid intensifying threats
of violence against figures across
the political spectrum. Conserva-
tives such as the Koch brothers
and Kavanaugh have been tar-
geted with death threats.
Soros, a Holocaust survivor
and self-described agnostic Jew,
has long been subject to anti-Se-
mitic attacks and even allega-
tions that he collaborated with
the Nazis.
In the final days of the 2016
race, Trump spoke in his closing
television ad about sending a
tough message to “global special
interests” who wanted to control
Washington, as images of Soros
and other financial leaders who
are Jewish flashed on the screen
amid footage of Clinton.
In his interview with The Post,
Soros said the allegation that he
was a Nazi collaborator were “a
total fabrication.” Soros has said
he used false papers at age 13 to
survive the Nazi occupation of
Hungary.
One of Soros’s sons, Alexander,
wrote in an op-ed in the New
York Times on Wednesday that
the rhetoric against his father
“got worse” as a result of Trump’s
presidential campaign, citing the
ad that included an image of
Soros. “A genie was let out of the
bottle, which may take genera-
tions to put back in,” the younger
Soros wrote.

Georgia must stop tossing absentee ballots over signatures
Ruling comes after
hundreds are rejected in
majority-minority county
BY A MY G ARDNER
A federal judge on Wednesday
ordered Georgia election officials
to stop summarily tossing absen-
tee ballots because of mis-
matched signatures, delivering a
crucial win to voting-rights advo-
cates — and to Democratic guber-
natorial candidate Stacey Abrams
— less than two weeks before
Election Day.
The ruling resulted from two
lawsuits filed earlier this month
after election officials in a single
Atlanta suburb, Gwinnett County,
rejected hundreds of absentee
ballots with signature discrepan-
cies, missing addresses or incor-
Bomb scares and the politics of the apocalypse
America is a
The Take country on edge.
DAN BALZ Days ahead of
crucial midterm
elections, the talk
is not of better days or a brighter
future. Instead, the climate is one
of fear, of threat and of division, of
caravans from Central America
and angry mobs. And now, of
explosive devices sent to two
former Democratic presidents
and others.
The devices sent to the home of
former secretary of state Hillary
Clinton and her husband, former
president Bill Clinton, to former
president Barack Obama, to CNN
and to others may be the act of a
lone individual, perhaps someone
isolated and unbalanced. What is
known is that all of the packages
were sent to critics of President
Trump, or people criticized by the
president. But no one knows at
this point the political leanings, if
any, and motivations of the person
who sent them. Teams of law
enforcement officials will seek to
answer those questions.
Trump and others in his
administration were quick to
condemn the acts, calling them
“despicable” and promising that
the perpetrator, if found, would be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. The speed with which
administration officials
responded was important, as was
the universal condemnation
across the country. But even a
moment when political leaders on
both sides find common
rhetorical ground cannot erase
the reality of the times in which
we now live.
This is a time of the politics of
the apocalypse — an all-or-
nothing view of the difference
between winning and losing an
election and of holding power or
not holding it. There is no middle
ground on what winning or losing
means. This has been on the rise
for a long time. But it has
intensified of late. No one really
knows how to roll it back.
Politicians say that it is time for
the country to come together. But
on whose terms?
Political rhetoric has escalated
dramatically, spurred by the
ideological divisions and aided by
social media. This has created two
Americas, and turned those in one
America against those in the other.
Forces that not that long ago had
been suppressed, though not
eliminated, have been
emboldened and unleashed.
Racial antagonism, anti-Semitism
and a more general fear of the
opposition permeate at least a part
of many political conversations.
Trump brands opponents as
evil, a word from which many
officials in his party recoil. But
Lawsuit: ExxonMobil misled investors about climate change
BY S TEVEN M UFSON
New York Attorney General
Barbara D. Underwood sued
ExxonMobil on Wednesday, ac-
cusing the oil giant of defrauding
investors about the financial risks
of climate change and lying about
how it was calculating potential
carbon costs.
The New York lawsuit accuses
ExxonMobil of assuring its inves-
tors that it was using theoretical
prices for carbon in evaluating
projects — from $20 to $80 a ton
depending on the country —
when in fact it often used a lower
price or none at all.
The lawsuit said that “this
fraud reached the highest levels
of the company,” including Rex
the former Exxon chief executive
and secretary of state, who the
lawsuit said knew for years that
the company “was deviating”
from public statements and was
rect birth years.
The plaintiffs, including the
ACLU, the Lawyers’ Committee
for Civil Rights Under Law and
the Coalition for Good Govern-
ance, argued that allowing nonex-
pert election officials to judge the
validity of signatures without giv-
ing voters the chance to contest
the decisions amounted to un-
constitutional voter suppression.
U.S. District Judge Leigh Mar-
tin May agreed, and she ordered
Secretary of State Brian Kemp to
instruct all local election officials
to stop rejecting absentee ballots
over the mismatched signatures.
Instead, such ballots will be
marked “provisional,” and the
voter will be given the right to
appeal the decision or confirm his
or her identity. Kemp and the
Gwinnett County election board
were named as defendants in the
suit.
The issue had prompted a fiery
outcry from Abrams, who ac-
Explosive devices were sent to critics of President Trump, or people criticized by him — including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, CNN
and others. In remarks Wednesday at the White House, Trump said, “In these times, we have to unify, we have to come together.”
that characterization finds
support among many of his
followers, who see a country
under attack from what might be
called otherness. Democrats,
offended and alarmed by so much
of the Trump presidency, see the
part of America that rallies
around the president not just as
people with different views but
collectively as a threat to the very
future of the country.
The threat of terrorism is real;
it too is part of these times. It has
been that way certainly since the
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and really
before that. With each such attack
— Paris or San Bernardino, Calif.,
or on a baseball field in the
Washington suburbs — the fear
level rises. Those reactions are
real and are felt across the
political spectrum. What
politicians do with them is
another matter.
Trump seizes on events and
issues to stir images of a nation in
danger of being overrun by
terrorists, criminal immigrants,
drug gangs or even left-wing
activists. He is a master of the art.
He praises a Montana politician
who assaulted a reporter at a time
when a contributing columnist to
The Washington Post is has been
killed, allegedly at the hands of a
Saudi hit squad. He brands at
least some in the news media as
enemies of the people. He
using two sets of calculations
about future regulation of green-
house-gas emissions.
“The attorney general is effec-
tively charging them with keep-
ing two sets of books — one for
internal purposes, one for exter-
nal,” said Tom Sanzillo, director of
finance at the Institute for Energy
Economics and Financial Analy-
sis, which conducts research on
energy and the environment.
“The result is a distortion of the
value of the company.”
ExxonMobil spokesman Scott
J. Silvestri called the lawsuit mer-
itless. “These baseless allegations
are a product of closed-door lob-
bying by special interests, politi-
cal opportunism and the attorney
general’s inability to admit that a
three-year investigation has un-
covered no wrongdoing,” he said.
The lawsuit says that Exxon-
Mobil’s dual accounting calcula-
tions had a huge impact on the
EZ RE
cused Kemp, also her Republican
opponent, of trying to suppress
the minority vote. Gwinnett
County, the state’s second-largest
county, has undergone a demo-
graphic transformation in recent
years, moving from 67 percent
white in 2000 to 62 percent non-
white last year. Democrats have
sought to mobilize the new resi-
dents in support of their efforts to
turn the state blue.
Voting rights advocates noted
with suspicion that Gwinnett ac-
counted for more than a third of
all rejected absentee ballots
across Georgia.
“This ruling protects the peo-
ple of Georgia from those who
seek to undermine their right to
vote,” said Sophia Lakin, a staff
attorney with the ACLU’s Voting
Rights Project. “It’s a huge victo-
ry, especially with the midterms
just days away.”
A spokeswoman for Kemp de-
clined to comment except to say
encourages those at his rallies to
hector reporters in attendance. He
encouraged violence against
protesters at some of his rallies in
2016.
He won the presidency by
playing on cultural wedge issues
as much as by focusing on
economic worries. This fall, he
seeks to prevent the loss of the
Republicans’ congressional
majorities with rhetoric of the
same kind. The sizable caravan of
Central Americans now in
southern Mexico and heading
north provides a timely foil, just as
“bad people” from Mexico were
his target the day he launched his
campaign in 2015. Democrats hate
being called the party of open
borders, but many of their leaders
struggle to define a clear policy for
those who come across the border
without documentation.
Republicans took from their
success in confirming Supreme
Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh
that branding Democrats as an
angry mob could pay political
dividends. The jury is still out on
that, but there is some evidence
that the Trump base is more
motivated than it was before
Kavanaugh. Trump offers no
apologies for attacking Christine
Blasey Ford, who accused
Kavanaugh of a sexual assault
when they were teenagers. “We
won,” the president says in
purported value of the company.
It says that the company’s failure
to apply an internal price on
carbon at 14 of its oil-sands proj-
ects in Alberta, Canada, resulted
in undercounting future green-
house-gas expenses by more than
$25 billion over the lifetime of the
project. It also said that the oil
giant did not apply any such
proxy costs to the company’s re-
serves at Cold Lake, a major
oil-sands asset in Alberta, “result-
ing in an overestimation of its
projected economic life by 28
years.”
Earlier lawsuits against big oil
companies alleged that they had
concealed internal and private
studies confirming climate
change and human contributions
to it, but lawsuits seeking damag-
es have been thrown out of court.
ExxonMobil has also taken
small steps to polish its image on
climate change. It recently con-
that the injunction is not final. A
spokesman for Gwinnett County
said only that officials there were
reviewing the decision.
The ACLU suit, filed on behalf
of the Georgia Muslim Voter Proj-
ect and Asian Americans Advanc-
ing Justice-Atlanta, and the Coali-
tion for Good Governance suit,
filed on behalf of five individual
voters, are among several legal
actions pending in Georgia,
where Kemp and Abrams have
traded accusations of encourag-
ing voter fraud and voter suppres-
sion, respectively. Abrams, a for-
mer state lawmaker who is black,
founded the New Georgia Project
with the goal of boosting voter
registration among African
Americans.
Kemp, who is white, has pro-
moted some of the most restric-
tive voting laws in the nation,
including one new law known as
“exact match” that requires the
information provided on voter
explaining why anything goes.
That’s the measure of everything.
The president’s opponents have
sometimes succumbed to playing
the game against him. Hillary
Clinton declared that there can be
no civility in politics as long as
Republicans are in control.
Former attorney general Eric
Holder said that when Trump and
Republicans go low, kick them.
Defenders pass off these remarks
as mere rhetoric and not to be
taken literally. Trump’s loyalists
see it differently.
Some on the left have played
into Trump’s hands by hounding
Republican officials — Sen. Ted
Cruz (Tex.) and his wife, and
earlier, White House press
secretary Sarah Sanders — in
public places. Then, just days ago,
the same thing happened to
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was chased
into a building by angry protesters
hurling insults and expletives.
In the two years since Trump
was elected, little has changed in
terms of the public divisions over
his leadership. He is as popular or
unpopular as he was, give or take
a few points in his approval
ratings. The groups that liked or
didn’t like him have barely
budged in their opinions.
Most presidents see their
ratings ebb and flow, with good
times and bad, with victories and
tributed $100 million to a fund
that provides money to new tech-
nologies that would slash green-
house gases. And it gave $1 mil-
lion to a group of economists and
former public officials that backs
a carbon tax starting at $40 a ton.
The New York attorney gener-
al’s suit zeros in on the company’s
financial reporting.
“Exxon told investors that it
accounted for the risk of govern-
mental regulation of climate
change by applying a ‘proxy cost’
of carbon,” the attorney general’s
office said in a statement. “Exxon
told its investors that it used that
proxy cost in its investment deci-
sions, corporate planning, esti-
mations of company oil and gas
reserves, evaluations of whether
its long-term assets remain via-
ble, and estimations of future
demand for oil and gas.”
Yet, the complaint alleges, “Ex-
xon frequently did not apply the
THE WASHINGTON POST
registration applications to exact-
ly match existing driver and So-
cial Security records. He also ac-
cused the New Georgia Project of
improper registration practices,
but his investigation found no
wrongdoing.
Kemp has also accused Abrams
of encouraging undocumented
immigrants to vote, which she
has denied. There is no evidence
of widespread voter fraud in
Georgia or elsewhere.
The “exact match” law has been
blamed for the suspension of
more than 53,000 registration
applications in Georgia this year.
Kemp has also been accused of
purging hundreds of thousands
of active voters from the state’s
rolls.
He has argued that his office
has properly maintained the
state’s voting rolls and that the
“exact match” law is an appropri-
ate safeguard against voter fraud.

setbacks, with good economies or
bad. Trump, with an economy
running strong, has gotten little
benefit. Things other than
traditional fundamentals are
dictating how people see the
president and each other.
The shock of what was revealed
Wednesday brought a moment of
respite. In remarks Wednesday at
the White House, Trump said: “In
these times, we have to unify, we
have to come together and send
one very clear, strong,
unmistakable message, that acts
or threats of political violence of
any kind have no place in the
United States of America.” Earlier
in the day, while campaigning for
Democrats in Florida, Hillary
Clinton issued a similar call,
saying this is a time “to do
everything we can to bring the
country together.”
This is what happens. Some
events are too shocking for people
to do anything other than
condemn them. But will any of
that change anything about the
final days of the midterm
elections, or the aftermath of
those elections, or the next two
years of the Trump presidency?
With so much at stake for those on
both sides of the political divide,
that question might be quaint or
naive. Which is why the country is
so much on edge.

proxy costs as represented in its
business activities. Instead, in
many cases Exxon applied much
lower proxy costs or no proxy cost
at all.”
The lawsuit seeks an order
prohibiting Exxon from misrep-
resenting its climate calculations
and requiring it to correct its
misrepresentations — “in other
words, to tell investors the truth.”
The suit also asks the court to
award damages and restitution
associated with the alleged fraud.
“Estimating climate-related li-
abilities is ‘more art than science’
because of how long-term and
uncertain the calculations are,”
Pavel Molchanov, a securities
analyst at Raymond James, said
in an email. “Unless the New York
AG has textual, documentary evi-
dence of deliberate deceit on the
part of management, it will be
difficult to prove the case.”

Trump
signs
bipartisan
opioids bill
BY K ATIE Z EZIMA
AND S EUNG M IN K IM
President Trump signed a sweep-
ing opioids bill into law Wednesday,
a rare piece of legislation that gar-
nered bipartisan support.
The bill addresses numerous
aspects of the opioid crisis, includ-
ing prevention, treatment and re-
covery. It knits together bills spon-
sored by hundreds of lawmakers,
many of whom are embroiled in
tough reelection battles and can
now tout their support of the law
in the run-up to Election Day.
“Together we will defeat this
epidemic — it’s a true epidemic —
as one people, one family and one
magnificent nation under God,”
Trump said.
Drug overdoses killed about
72,000 people last year, and opi-
oids have become a major cam-
paign issue for both Democrats
and Republicans. Drugs have be-
come central in races in states
such as West Virginia, Ohio and
Florida, which have been hit hard
by the opioid crisis. According to
an analysis by the Wall Street Jour-
nal, ads in congressional and gu-
bernatorial races that mention
opioids have aired more than
500,000 times in 25 states; in 2014,
there was only one ad about opi-
oids, in a Senate race in Kentucky.
Just a handful of congressional
Republicans dissented from the
wildly popular opioids bill — it
passed 393 to 8 in the House and
98 to 1 in the Senate — although
Trump falsely said at a campaign
rally in Ohio this month that the
legislation cleared Congress with
“very little Democrat support.”
Democratic Senate candidates,
particularly those from states
most ravaged by the opioid crisis,
have promoted their efforts to
stem the epidemic in an array of
positive campaign ads.
One ad from Sen. Sherrod
Brown (D-Ohio) features a nurse
speaking about the high rate of
infants born with a dependency
on opioids and says: “They need a
champion more than anyone.
That’s Sherrod Brown.” Sen. Tam-
my Baldwin (D-Wis.) earlier this
year released an ad with a similar
message, featuring a Wisconsin
mother whose daughter died
three years ago from an overdose.
In West Virginia, the state with
the highest rate of drug overdoses,
Sen. Joe Manchin III (D) has ham-
mered his opponent, Republican
Patrick Morrisey, over his history
of lobbying for the pharmaceuti-
cal industry, although Morrisey
has said that he did not lobby on
behalf of bills involving opioids.
“When I found out my attorney
general was a lobbyist that helped
the state to be inundated with
pills, I was just floored,” a West
Virginia nurse says in an ad the
Manchin campaign released earli-
er this year.
But even on an issue that has
prompted an overwhelming de-
sire for action, political consider-
ations soon took over. Some be-
lieve that lawmakers enthusiasti-
cally endorsed the bill so they
could tout a win before Election
Day. Some controversial aspects
that passed out of the House —
such as giving the attorney general
power to create a special category
for synthetic drugs and penalties
for those who make or sell them —
were stripped out of the final legis-
lation to ensure passage.
The law contains a measure spon-
sored by Sens. Rob Portman (R-
Ohio) and Amy Klobuchar (D-
Minn.) that will close a loophole that
makes it easier for traffickers to send
fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is
responsible for the sharp increase in
overdose deaths, through the mail,
primarily from China.
It will also have a large focus on
treatment, creating a grant pro-
gram for recovery centers that in-
clude housing and job training. It
also increases access to medica-
tion-assisted treatment, in which
a drug user takes an opioid medi-
cation under medical supervision
and is ultimately weaned off
drugs. It allows broader coverage
for substance abuse treatment un-
der Medicaid and Medicare.
Public health officials say the
new law is an important first step
toward fighting the opioid crisis,
but they say it mostly tinkers with
the problem rather than address-
ing it directly.
“It’s a very good starting point.
But I call it wave one, and I hope
there will be wave two,” said Dan-
iel Ciccarone, a professor of family
and community medicine at the
University of California at San
Francisco. “This is everything but
the kitchen sink. Anyone who has
any thought about how to address
the opioid crisis got a bill in there.”

The World
Brazil’s Bolsonaro winning over voters of color Putin says
Far-right presidential candidate accused of racism leads in poll of black and mixed-race citizens ahead of Sunday runoff election
missiles’
BY A NTHONY F AIOLA
hosts will
AND M ARINA L OPES

rio de janeiro — Brazil is a

majority-nonwhite country, a
multicultural mix of ethnicities.
So many people here are stunned
by an apparent contradiction:
How could a man like Jair Bolson-
aro be this close to winning the
presidency?
The far-right former army cap-
tain once said his sons would
never fall in love with a black
woman, and in 2015, he dubbed
African refugees coming to Brazil
“the scum of the earth.” The left
has sought to portray him as an
open racist — a charge the blunt-
talking Bolsonaro denies.
But this is what has perhaps
shocked his opponents the most.
Now polling in the lead by 18 per-
centage points, the 63-year-old
will enter Sunday’s presidential
runoff with a surprising group of
backers: people of color.
In Latin America’s largest na-
tion, Bolsonaro is now the top
candidate among black and
mixed-race voters, according to a
major polling agency, Ibope. He is
supported by 47 percent of that
voter pool, compared with 41 per-
cent for Fernando Haddad, his
opponent from the left-wing
Workers’ Party, or PT.
Polls that break out figures on
Afro-Brazilians separately from
that group suggest they are sup-
porting Bolsonaro in far lower
numbers than mixed-race voters.
Yet overall, people of color
could push Bolsonaro over the
top.
“Brazil is ignoring some of its
characteristics,” said Alexandre
Bandeira, a political strategist in
Brasilia, the capital. “It is a nation
of largely mixed-race, lower-
middle-class people. But people
are putting aside their personal
identities in search of political
renovation.”
While Bolsonaro has at times
used incendiary language in ref-
erence to race, critics also accuse
him of a more subtle form of
discrimination — promoting pol-
icies they say unfairly target peo-
ple of color.
He has proposed, for instance,
combating crime by sending
heavily armed security forces into
largely black and mixed-race
slums, providing more protection
for police officers who kill on the
job, and stripping indigenous
communities of their land rights
to speed development.
He has lashed out at a quota
system enacted by previous gov-
ernments that guarantees places
for black and indigenous Brazil-
ians at universities. “I would not
board a plane piloted by a quota
beneficiary, or be operated on by a
quota doctor,” he said.
This month, Twitter was flood-
ed with posts about Bolsonaro
tagged #MySecretRacist, which
attempted to expose racism in
Brazil.
“He says a good thug is a dead
thug. He’s bringing death to the
slums,” said Elsa Santos, 48, an
expert on black history from the
outskirts of Sao Paulo who at-
tended an anti-Bolsonaro rally
this month.

won a first-round vote this month

ed to avoid a runoff — is still white

and incidents of harassment in
recent weeks against women,
gays and black people, allegedly
committed by Bolsonaro support-
ers.
Yet backers of Bolsonaro in-
clude the likes of Achiles
Guimarães. A 40-year-old motor-
cycle deliveryman, he heads a
neighborhood association in
Rocinha, Rio’s largest slum —
which Bolsonaro once suggested
should be “machine-gunned” to
kill off gang members. Guimarães
is Afro-Brazilian, like about
8 percent of Brazilians. Mixed-
race people make up about
47 percent of the population, ac-
cording to the 2016 census.
Guimarães voted left-wing in
past elections — but this year, he
ran out and bought a Bolsonaro
LEO CORREA/ASSOCIATED PRESS
T-shirt. He laughs off the accusa-
tions of racism against his candi-
date, saying, “We can’t agree on
everything.”
He’s far more disgusted by
Brazil’s traditional political
class. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva —
the leftist Guimarães once voted
for and who led Brazil for eight
years — is now in jail, serving a
12-year sentence for corruption.
His successor was impeached.
Her successor — the current pres-
ident — was recently indicted on
corruption and money-
laundering charges, which he de-
nies. One-third of the lower house
of the National Congress is under
criminal investigation.
At the same time, Brazil has
slipped into an unprecedented
cycle of violence. As gang wars
rage, Brazil suffered a record
63,880 homicides last year —
almost twice the number in the
United States and Europe com-
bined.
Young black males are nine
times as likely to be killed in
Brazil as their white counterparts
— a statistic Guimarães knows a
lot about. His brother and his
uncle were gunned down in Rio
slums.
“Today, motorcycle delivery-
men run from thieves trying to
steal their merchandise and mo-
torcycles, and from the corrupt
police asking for bribes,” he said.
“Bolsonaro was a military man;
he will demand more from au-
thorities, including the police.”
Yet Brazil already has one of
the deadliest police forces in the
world, responsible for more than
5,000 deaths last year, according
to government figures. Experts
warn that Bolsonaro’s tough-on-
crime platform, which includes
proposals to arm ordinary citi-
zens, could make life worse for
many people of color.
“There is no basis of evidence
to suggest that what he proposes
will work,” said Ilona Szabó,
director of the Igarape Institute, a
think tank in Rio that focuses on
security issues. “Things will get
worse. The police will kill more.
There will be more extrajudicial
killings, especially of people in
the slums and of blacks.”
Once hailed as a unique “racial
democracy,” a multicultural
nation where people did not view
one another through the lens of
race, Brazil is now confronting
rifts that many here would prefer
to ignore.
Photos recently circulated on
social media, for instance, show-
ing a bathroom door at a univer-
sity in southern Sao Paulo spray-
painted with the message:
“Blacks will die. Here, we’re for
Bolsonaro.” After the first round
of the election, a flurry of people
took to social media to attack
Brazil’s predominantly black
northeast, where Haddad won a
RICARDO MORAES/REUTERS
majority of votes.
Bolsonaro’s campaign did not
respond to a request for com-
ment. In recent months, he has
courted the black vote and has
sought to celebrate Brazil’s diver-
sity. After media reports in Brazil
said that David Duke, a former
grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan,
had spoken highly of Bolsonaro,
the Brazilian candidate rejected
any such ally.
“I refuse any kind of support
coming from supremacist
groups,” Bolsonaro tweeted. “To
exploit this to try and influence
an election in Brazil is an enor-
mous stupidity! It’s not knowing
the Brazilian people, who are
mixed race.”
Within the black community,
Bolsonaro’s candidacy has pitted
his supporters against his oppo-
nents. On the night of the first
round of the election, a 63-year-
old black master of capoeira, a
form of martial arts that originat-
ed in Africa and is popular in
Brazil, was stabbed 12 times by a
black Bolsonaro supporter in
northern Brazil after he declared
he had voted for Haddad.
Carla Jesus, a 34-year-old Afro-
Brazilian teacher and lesbian ac-
tivist, criticized blacks support-
ing Bolsonaro.
“Just because slavery is over
does not mean our minds are
free,” she said.
She said she is preparing for
the dawn of a dark chapter in
Brazil should Bolsonaro sail to
victory.
“People are looking at us differ-
ently now with the campaign,”
she said. “They aren’t shy about
saying blacks and lesbians need
to die. I’m feeling more than fear.
I’m panicking about him win-
ning.”

A SSOCIATED P RESS
moscow — Russian President
Vladimir Putin warned Wednes-
day that if the United States
deploys intermediate-range mis-
siles in Europe, Russia will have
to target the nations that host
them.
The stern statement follows
President Trump’s announce-
ment last weekend that he in-
tends to opt out of a 1987 nuclear
arms control pact over alleged
Russian violations.
Putin said he hoped the United
States would not follow up by
positioning intermediate-range
missiles in Europe. Such a move
would be a repeat of a Cold War
showdown in the 1980s, when the
United States and the Soviet
Union deployed intermediate-
range missiles on the continent,
the Russian leader said.
“If they are deployed in Eu-
rope, we will naturally have to
respond in kind,” Putin said at a
news conference after talks with
visiting Italian Prime Minister
Giuseppe Conte. “The European
nations that would agree to that
should understand that they
would expose their territory to
the threat of a possible retaliatory
strike. These are obvious things.”
He continued: “I don’t under-
stand why we should put Europe
in such a grave danger.”
“I see no reason for that,” Putin
said. “I would like to repeat that
it’s not our choice. We don’t want
it.”
NATO Secretary General Jens
Stoltenberg said Wednesday that
the Western military alliance’s
members blame Russia for devel-
oping a new missile in violation
of the Intermediate-Range Nu-
clear Forces Treaty (INF), but he
doesn’t expect them to beef up
nuclear arsenals in Europe in
response.
“I don’t foresee that allies will
deploy more nuclear weapons in
Europe as a response to the new
Russian missile,” Stoltenberg told
reporters at NATO headquarters
in Brussels.
Putin rejected Trump’s claim
that Russia breached the INF. The
Russian leader alleged instead
that the United States was violat-
ing the INF with missile defense
facilities in Romania that could
be used to hold cruise missiles.
Amid mounting tensions over
the treaty’s possible unraveling,
NATO on Thursday will officially
launch its Trident Juncture war
games in Norway, its biggest ma-
neuvers since the Cold War.
Russia, which shares a border
with Norway, has been briefed by
NATO on the exercises and was
invited to monitor them, but the
move has still angered Moscow.
Russia’s defense minister warned
that Moscow could be forced to
respond to increased NATO mili-
tary activities near its western
border.
The INF prohibited the United
States and Russia from possess-
ing, producing or test-flying
ground-launched nuclear cruise
and ballistic missiles with a range
of 300 to 3,400 miles.

Fight at Jerusalem site
angers Egypt, churches
A scuffle between Israeli police
and Coptic priests at a major
Christian holy site in Jerusalem on
Wednesday drew condemnation
from Egypt and churches in the
Holy Land.
Police and Coptic priests
wrangled outside a contested
chapel at the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher, where many Christians
believe Jesus was crucified, buried
and resurrected.
The Copts were protesting the
start of restoration work by the
Israel Antiquities Authority at the
St. Michael the Archangel Chapel,
which both the Ethiopian and
Egyptian Orthodox churches
claim.
The Church of the Holy
Sepulcher is shared by several
Christian denominations. A long-
standing status quo governs
the sects’ ownership and
management of the site. Each
group is fiercely protective of its
territory, and even perceived
alterations to the status quo have
resulted in arguments or violence.
The Antiquities Authority was
to perform repairs after a stone
fell out of place in the chapel in
September 2017.
The police said that after priests
blocked the entrance and barred
the workers’ entry, officers forcibly
removed the priests and arrested
one man.
An attorney for the Coptic
church said one priest was briefly
detained and several suffered
minor injuries.
An umbrella group of churches
in the Holy Land issued a
statement denouncing the use of
force by police against the priests.
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry
expressed a “total rejection” of
Israeli police violence.

U.S. reduces contacts with Afghan forces after shootings

Change in posture
follows attacks on
coalition troops by locals
BY P AMELA C ONSTABLE
kabul — American military offi-
cials said Wednesday that they
had halted most face-to-face con-
tacts with members of the Afghan
security forces, and have tempo-
rarily withdrawn from Afghan
security facilities, after two “in-
sider” shootings in the past week
that killed a top Afghan regional
police commander and a Czech
soldier.
A spokesman for Resolute Sup-
port, the U.S.-led military mission
in Afghanistan, described the
move as “standard” practice after
“green-on-blue” attacks — or as-
saults by Afghan security person-
nel against foreign forces. He said
“regular contacts” were continu-
ing by telephone and email be-
tween U.S. and Afghan security
officials, with some meetings also
taking place in U.S. facilities.
A senior Afghan military offi-
cer, stationed at a joint base with
foreign forces, said that American
troops “have been ordered not to
visit the Afghan side of our base
for a few days, but we can visit
them on their side.” The officer,
who spoke on the condition of
anonymity to discuss a sensitive
issue, also said the “joint control
and command center is active.”
The Resolute Support spokes-
man, Army Lt. Col. David Butler,
said the precautionary measures
were taken after the shooting in
western Herat province on Mon-
day that left a Czech soldier dead
and two wounded.
But the steps also reflected
rising concerns about the safety
of American and other foreign
forces here following the assassi-
nation in Kandahar province of
Lt. Gen. Abdul Raziq, four days
before the Herat killing. That
slaying created a dangerous secu-
rity vacuum in the south and
fueled rumors that the United
States had been behind the plot to
kill Raziq — a charge American
officials dismissed as absurd.
The Kandahar attack, which
also killed the province’s intelli-
gence chief and left its governor
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, center, prays Tuesday at the grave of Lt. Gen. Abdul Raziq, an Afghan police commander who was killed in
Kandahar on Oct. 18 when a member of the Afghan forces opened fire on officials leaving a meeting. Two Americans were wounded.
severely wounded, came shortly
after a meeting that was attended
by the top U.S. military com-
mander in Afghanistan, Gen.
Austin “Scott” Miller. He escaped
unharmed and quickly returned
by helicopter to Kabul, but an-
other U.S. general and two other
Americans were wounded.
The Taliban asserted responsi-
bility for the assault, and Afghan
officials said it had been planned
in next-door Pakistan. Pakistan’s
Foreign Ministry denied that
charge.
The fact that Miller escaped
injury while a revered Afghan
security leader died triggered a
wave of angry public speculation
about an American conspiracy.
Afghan and foreign observers
here compared the situation to a
2012 incident in which rumors
spread that copies of the Koran
had been destroyed on a U.S.

military base, leading to riots.
Although the Taliban also as-
serted responsibility for the
Herat shooting, there were media
reports that the Afghan who fired
on the Czech soldier was not an
insurgent infiltrator but a bona
fide soldier who was upset about
Raziq’s death and possibly fur-
ther angered by accusations on
social media that the Kandahar
attack was a U.S. plot. Those
allegations were strongly rejected
by top Afghan officials.
The two assaults have raised
new concerns over attacks
against coalition personnel by
Afghans in uniform, which have
MUHAMMAD SADIQ/EPA-EFE//SHUTTERSTOCK
killed about 155 U.S. or coalition
troops or contractors and wound-
ed 200 since 2008. Such insider
attacks peaked in 2012 but have
declined steadily since then, with
added vetting of Afghan recruits,
extra guards accompanying for-
eign advisers and the withdrawal
of most foreign troops. However,
there have been several such
deadly attacks in the past two
years, including some at the
hands of highly trained Afghan
commandos.
The atmosphere has been
tense across the country in the
past week. Parliamentary elec-
tions were held Oct. 20, but they
were marred by scores of attacks
by Taliban insurgents, including a
suicide bombing outside the capi-
tal that killed at least 15 people.
Voting was delayed by one week
in Kandahar after the Oct. 18
shootings and rescheduled for
this Saturday, but security con-
cerns could postpone it again.
Analysts said it was not clear
what impact the latest violence
would have on Afghan and Amer-
ican efforts to promote peace
negotiations with the Taliban. A
newly appointed U.S. envoy for
the Afghanistan peace process,
Zalmay Khalilzad, visited the re-
gion recently and reportedly met
in Qatar with Taliban officials,
who said publicly that they hoped
to continue the discussions. U.S.
officials have not confirmed that
those talks were held.
“The talks with the Taliban
may continue, but this incident
will leave them in a much stron-
ger position,” said Harris Wadan,
an Afghan journalist in Kanda-
har. With the top three provincial
officials either dead or injured
and dozens of people vying to
replace them, he said, “it will be a
great challenge to have elections
now. This has shown how vulner-
able the government is.”
Kandahar is still in an uproar
over the death of Raziq, a tough
anti-Taliban fighter who had kept
the region stable almost single-
handedly. U.S. military officials
said Miller had returned there
this week and discussed how to
reduce security risks with local
leaders, adding that the attack
there had also spurred a broader
reassessment of whether there is
enough security in place for about
14,000 U.S. and other troops who
are training and advising Afghan
forces.
“Everyone is taking this deadly
seriously,” said one Western dip-
lomatic person, speaking on the
condition of anonymity because
he is not authorized to make
public statements. He said offi-
cials with the U.S.-led coalition
are being “very sober but not
hyperbolic” about the recent at-
tacks and are “extremely sensi-
tive” to the possibility of a repeat
of the rioting after the incident
involving a supposed Koran-
burning, which badly damaged
U.S.-Afghan relations for some
time.

No tanks at Armistice Day parade
France’s right resents
plan as not celebrating
what they see as victory
BY J AMES M C A ULEY
paris — When he hosts world
leaders for the centennial anni-
versary of the end of World War I
next month, French President Em-
manuel Macron will not be put-
ting on the kind of military specta-
cle that so delighted President
Trump on his last visit to Paris. No
tanks or missiles in the streets this
time, and — pointedly — no cel-
ebration of national triumph.
That may disappoint Trump,
who was inspired to replicate the
Bastille Day parade he saw in Paris
in July 2017, a costly vision he was
recently forced to abandon.
But Macron’s plans for Armi-
stice Day have also drawn criti-
cism in France, where some on the
right resent his refusal to empha-
size what they see as a national
victory, albeit a Pyrrhic one.
The Macron administration de-
fended its choice. “The point of the
commemoration is to honor the
memory of the poilus, the French
soldiers, and all the soldiers who
fought in World War I,” an Élysée
official told The Washington Post,
noting that the event would not be
staged as a celebration of any kind.
Paris will also host a Peace Forum
that week, aimed at renewing in-
ternational commitments to pre-
venting war.
To valorize one side over the
other could additionally risk
alienating Germany, today one of
France’s closet allies in a relation-
ship whose bottom line, since the
aftermath of World War II, has
been to ensure that war never
returns to the continent.
Most prominent historians of
World War I agree with this ap-
proach.
“The word ‘celebration’ has the
taste of ashes attached to it, be-
cause of the bloodbath of the First
World War,” said Jay Winter, a Yale
University historian. “Of course
you don’t celebrate. You commem-
orate.”
With roughly 40 million mili-
tary and civilian casualties, World
War I ranks among the deadliest
conflicts in human history.

Much of French President Emmanuel Macron’s native northeastern France is dotted with military
cemeteries, such as the cemetery in front of the Douaumont ossuary in the country’s northeast.
But when Macron’s plans began
circulating in the French media
late last week, a number of con-
servatives decried what they saw
an act of betrayal — dishonoring
French fighters in the interest of
not offending Germany.
Chief among the critics was Mi-
chel Goya, a former infantry colo-
nel and amateur historian. “On
July 14, 2017, the President of the
Republic insults the soldiers of
2017,” he wrote on Twitter, refer-
encing a controversial moment
early in Macron’s tenure, when, in
the midst of a dispute over mili-
tary budget cuts, the young presi-
dent told an audience of soldiers
the following: “I am your boss. I
need no pressure and no commen-
tary.”
For Goya, Macron’s antipathy to
the military has only continued.
“On November 11, 2018,” he said in
the same tweet, “the President of
the Republic insults the soldiers of
1918.”
“For the past 30 years,” Goya
said in an interview, “the domi-
nant trend in the historiography
has been to remove the war from
its primary military and political
objectives. It’s become anthropol-
ogy, stories about the conditions
of the soldiers and their deaths,
but it’s lost sight of why they were

fighting, and what they were fight-
ing for.”
“I think that those who re-
proach Macron for this are bad
historians,” said Annette Becker, a
historian of World War I at the
University of Paris Nanterre. “It
was a world war, the First World
War. Of course there was a victori-
ous side — France, Britain and
Italy — but to say that France was
somehow alone and victorious is
patently absurd, because all alone
it would not have won.”
“This was a veritable catastro-
phe, with millions dead, millions
wounded, and widows and or-
phans left behind,” she said. “And
you call that a victory?”
Western Europe and France in
particular, where much of the
fighting took place, were hit hard
by the epic conflagration that in-
augurated an era of “total war.”
Idyllic countryside was carved
into trenches, as millions died on
either side. These days, much of
Macron’s native northeastern
France is dotted with military
cemeteries: The gravestones often
extend as far as the eye can see.
If World War I is a distant mem-
ory for many in the United States,
in Europe its legacy remains vivid.
“What strikes me is the way each
family has their history,” Becker

said of the French. “There is no
village or city that hasn’t done an
exposition of some kind. It is very
much something enormous.”
For Margaret MacMillan, an
Oxford University historian and
author of “The War That Ended
Peace,” the important lesson
about the “victors” of World War I
is the fragility of the peace agree-
ment they thought they were cre-
ating.
“They thought they had a lot of
power and authority (after all they
were the winners),” she said in an
email, “but they found themselves
dealing with forces difficult to
control.” These, she noted, includ-
ed the rise of Bolshevism, the col-
lapse of empires, the breakdown
of international political and eco-
nomic structures and competing
nationalisms.
Macron, today, has cast himself
as the principal opponent of a host
of competing nationalisms that
have taken root across Europe,
from Rome to Warsaw and from
Budapest to London. He has also
offered himself as a foil for Trump,
who proudly donned the label “na-
tionalist” at a Houston rally this
week.
Speaking at the United Nations
last month, Macron mentioned
the coming anniversary of the Ar-
mistice of 1918. “France will be
there to ensure the world does not
forget that the thunder of nation-
alism always leads to the abyss,” he
said in his remarks.
Macron’s refusal to interpret
World War I as a victory for France
is in keeping with his attempt to
combat nationalist sentiments in
his own country. It also under-
scores his staunch support for the
European Union, an institution
born in the aftermath of the con-
flicts World War I initiated.
“He’s trying to Europeanize this
commemoration,” said Jörn Leon-
hard, a historian at the University
of Freiburg, “. . . to give it a mean-
ing for the crisis of the European
model, to kind of make it a narra-
tive for the European peace proj-
ect, against Trump, [Turkish Pres-
ident Recep Tayyip] Erdogan and
[Russian President Vladimir] Pu-
tin.”
This, Leonhard said, risks effac-
ing some of the differences in how
World War I was experienced by
those from different countries.
“You need to balance these two
things,” Leonhard added.
“You need to be aware of the
particular experiences of societies
in the catastrophe, and yet at the
same time understand that
something grew out of this experi-
ence.”

Yutu makes devastating
landfall in the Marianas
U.S. commonwealth is
whipped by sustained,
180 mph typhoon winds
BY C HRIS M OONEY
AND J ULIET E ILPERIN
Super Typhoon Yutu, tied for
the strongest storm anywhere in
the world in 2018, slammed into
the U.S. Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands on
Thursday, with weather agencies
predicting extreme destruction.
The storm, with sustained
winds of 180 mph, was set to cause
“devastating damage” in the Pa-
cific islands east of the Philip-
pines, the National Weather Serv-
ice in Guam said. Much of the
island of Saipan and all of Tinian
were enveloped within the eye of
the gigantic cyclone as residents
hunkered down in the early hours
of the morning.
Frank Camacho, a photogra-
pher from Saipan who was on
nearby Guam when the storm hit,
stayed in touch with family and
friends via WhatsApp and relayed
their experiences to The Washing-
ton Post.
“Massive flooding in homes,
roofs being blown off, storm shut-
ters flying off concrete buildings,
buildings being leveled, and the
storm is still hitting in the 70-100
mph range,” Camacho said in an
email as dawn rose on Thursday

While a full picture of the dam-
age was not yet clear, the Weather

that the winds would be so strong
that “most homes will sustain se-
vere damage with potential for
complete roof failure and wall col-

will be destroyed.”
The governor’s office of the
Mariana Islands called on resi-
dents to “shelter in place.” Local

monwealth’s capital, reported that
emergency shelters had been
quickly filled and more shelters
were opened to accommodate ad-
ditional refuge seekers.

The Northern Mariana Islands,
which the United States took from
Japan after World War II, are
home to 52,000 people, the majori-
ty of whom are U.S. citizens or U.S.
nationals. Tinian, the island at the
center of the storm, was the site
from which the B-29 missions to
drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki were launched.
The Northern Mariana Islands
used to be home to dozens of
garment factories, in part because
the territory was exempt from fed-
eral minimum wage requirements
along with quotas and tariffs on
U.S. textile imports. The industry
collapsed a decade ago, after the
tariffs and quotas expired and
Congress passed a law raising the
islands’ minimum wage. The value
of its textile exports to the United
States fell from $1.1 billion in 1998
to “near zero in 2010,” according to
a 2017 Government Accountability
Office report, as operations shifted
to elsewhere in Asia.

considerable construction in re-
cent years.
While the Mariana Archipelago
consists of 15 separate islands,
roughly 90 percent of the terri-
tory’s residents live on Saipan,
which was severely affected by
Yutu. Some 6 percent live on the
island of Tinian, which was struck
most directly.
The islands are yet another U.S.
territory to have been pummeled
by a strong hurricane in the past
two years. The U.S. Virgin Islands
and Puerto Rico suffered calami-
tous strikes in the 2017 hurricane
season, and Guam was recently
struck by Typhoon Mangkhut.
The extreme strike occurred
with little warning, as the storm
strengthened from Category 1 to
Category 5 in just a day’s time
before landfall. The maximum
sustained wind speed increased by
80 mph over that time, resulting in
a storm with gusts exceeding 200
mph.
Scientists have recently sug-
gested that such dangerous “rapid
intensification” events, which also
happened with hurricanes Mi-
chael and Florence, may become
more common as the planet
warms and the oceans heat up,
providing additional fuel for
storms.
Yutu, which means “Jade Hare,”
according to the Hong Kong Ob-
“My sister just lost her
whole house on
Saipan.”
Frank Camacho, photographer on
nearby Guam, relaying the damage
his family was reporting via WhatsApp
servatory, is tied for the strongest
storm of the year with Typhoon
Mangkhut, which also reached
winds of 180 mph, at the higher
end of Category 5 strength. In
general, the northwest Pacific,
where tropical cyclones are re-
ferred to as typhoons (not hurri-
canes), sees the most numerous
and strongest storms on the plan-
et.
President Trump declared a dis-
aster in the Marianas on Tuesday,
and the Guam Daily Post reported
that additional Federal Emergen-
cy Management Agency person-
nel, who had been on nearby
Guam because of Mangkhut,
would be deployed to the Marian-
as. FEMA did not immediately
respond to a request for comment
but tweeted that the agency is
“monitoring Typhoon Yutu and co-
ordinating with local authorities.”
The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers said that it had “generators
pre-staged for Yutu at nearby loca-
tions — 77 generators in Guam, 1
generator at a Rota Hospital, and
85 additional generators in Ha-
waii.”
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke,
whose department has responsi-
bility for U.S. territories, recently
visited the Marianas as part of a
broader trip to the Pacific. During
the trip, according to the Guam-
based Pacific Daily News, Zinke
said of climate change: “If it is a
priority in the Pacific, then it be-
comes our priority too.”
Zinke did not issue a formal
statement Wednesday about the
storm, but tweeted. “Thinking of
my friend Governor Torres and the
people of the Northern Marianas
after the typhoon. @POTUS is-
sued a disaster declaration to aid
in relief and recovery.”

Years-old photo of bloodied police officer stokes online fears about caravan
BYC RAIG T IMBERG,
A ARON C . D AVIS
AND A NDREW B A T RAN
The image is shocking: A Mex-
ican police officer in riot gear
bleeds profusely from gashes on
his head. The culprits, according
to posts spreading virally on
social media, were members of
the migrant caravan making its
way north toward the U.S. border
— and delivering violence along
the way.
An early version on Facebook
on Sunday says beneath this
image, “And WE are supposed to
believe these are just poor, help-
less refugees seeking asylum??? I
am 100% behind POTUS deploy-
ing our military to protect our
border and keep them out.”
But the post — shared by tens
of thousands including Ginni
Thomas, a conservative activist
who is the wife of Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas — is
misleading in key ways, starting
with the photograph itself. It’s
not from any incident related to
the migrant caravan that has
emerged as a potent flash point
in the intensifying midterm con-
gressional elections.
The photo of the bloodied
police officer was taken during
Mexican student protests in
2012, according to Snopes, a
fact-checking website. The post,
say several researchers, is just
one example of the false content
spreading rapidly as the mid-
term congressional elections
“It becomes about
violent thugs
beating their way
through Mexico.”
Trevor Davis, a researcher, on how
the photo affects people’s emotions
near — despite promises by
Facebook and other companies
to prevent a repeat of the 2016
presidential election, when
disinformation and fake news
ran rampant across social media.
“Many of the worst sources of
political news and information
are now covering the movements
of the immigrant caravan,” said
Phil Howard of Oxford Univer-
sity’s Computational Propa-
ganda Project. “Social media is
awash with pictures that portray
an angry mob heading for the
U.S. border. . . . This kind of the
event is easy for junk news
outlets to turn into a sensational
news story.”
In a statement, Facebook said:
“In this situation, while it’s some-
thing we should have caught
sooner, we were able to identify
and address duplicate versions
of this photo that were being
shared elsewhere on Facebook;
thanks to a ‘false’ rating from one
of our third-party fact-checkers
on this photo, we’ve been able to
demote these duplicate posts in
News Feed.”
Trevor Davis, the researcher
who brought attention to the
misleading nature of the posts
featuring the bloodied Mexican
police officer, started analyzing
information related to the cara-
van Monday night.
On Tuesday — the same day
that Snopes labeled the image as
“miscaptioned” — Davis wrote an
article on Medium noting the
wide spread of the Facebook post,
including the role played by Gin-
ni Thomas.
She did not reply to requests
for comment from The Washing-
ton Post, but the post appeared to
be removed from Facebook on
Wednesday afternoon, follow-
ing online publication of this
story.
Davis, a research professor at
George Washington University,
found that more than 50 Face-
book posts with the same picture
of the bloodied policeman had
been shared at least 113,000
times.
The same image by itself or as
part of a montage appeared on
Twitter more than 10,000 times.
Twitter said in a statement
Wednesday, “Accounts that delib-
erately attempt to disrupt the
public conversation, including
sharing the same content repeat-
edly or attempt to game trending
topics, will face action pursu-
ant with our enforcement pol-
icies.”
Of the misleading photo of the
Mexican police officer, Twitter
said it has suspended “a small
number of accounts that were
deliberately attempting to share
it at scale.”
Davis highlighted Thomas’s
post on Facebook, which said:
“The media won’t share THIS,
will they? It is an invasion, and
thank GOD for President Trump.”
“This is really dangerous
stuff,” said Davis, who has
worked in the past for Demo-
cratic Party causes and founded
CounterAction, a disinforma-
tion research project.
He said the misleading image
changes the emotional tenor of
the debate around the caravan by
providing apparent visual evi-
dence that the migrants heading
north are violent and clashing
with police along the way.
“The emotional pull of the still
photograph shapes how you in-
terpret events,” Davis said. “It
changes the tone of it. It becomes
about violent thugs beating their
way through Mexico.”
The first Facebook post featur-
ing the image of the bloodied
officer appears to have come
from a user named Jacque
Guinan, who posted it shortly
after midnight Sunday morning.
Then, between 6 and 7 a.m. that
day, a handful of Twitter ac-
counts began tweeting the same
images with only slight modifica-
tion to the text.
Guinan’s original post even-
tually garnered 36,774 shares
and almost 3,000 comments.
Guinan did not respond to
messages left at five numbers
associated with her or those of
relatives.
She also did not respond to
messages sent via Facebook,
even though she was active on
the social media site, posting
more than 15 times Wednesday.
Reached by cellphone, her ex-
husband said he would contact
her by text and pass along a
message from a Post reporter
seeking comment.
When images of the bloodied
police officer appeared on
4chan.org and a Reddit group for
supporters of President Trump,
users sent out warnings about
the origins of the photo.
“DO NOT SPREAD FAKE
NEWS,” warned one post.
Another said, “If we also
spread fake news, we have be-
come exactly what we sought to
destroy.”

Migrants may split up, turn back — or continue to U.S.

CARAVAN FROM A1

State Mike Pompeo told report-

ers this week, saying he had
spoken twice with his Mexican
counterpart, Luis Videgaray,
since they met in Mexico City last
week.
It remained far from clear
when the caravan, which re-
mains highly fluid and disorga-
nized, would reach the United
States. A day after the United
Nations estimated the group at
7,200, Mexican officials said
Wednesday that it was about half
that size, at 3,630, and added that
they had processed more than
1,700 refugee claims.
The caravan, which originat-
ed in Honduras, is traveling
primarily by foot, which means
its arrival at the U.S.-Mexico
border could be weeks away.
With no formal leadership, the
group also could thin out and
break up along the way, experts
said, with a portion of the
migrants choosing various
paths: remaining in Mexico, tak-
ing alternative routes, or giving
up and heading home. That
would make the situation more
manageable for U.S. authorities.
“The goal is maximum pres-
sure on Mexico,” said one Trump
administration official, speak-
ing on the condition of anonym-
ity to describe sensitive talks.
“I think we’ll know in the next
48 hours if they’re going to do
something or not,” said the offi-
cial, emphasizing that the mi-
grants will be increasingly diffi-
cult to turn back as they move
deeper into Mexico.
But Roberta Jacobson, who
served as U.S. ambassador to
Mexico from June 2016 to this
past May, noted that President
Enrique Peña Nieto has just a
month left in office. The incom- RODRIGO ABD/ASSOCIATED PRESS

ing administration of leftist An-
drés Manuel López Obrador has
said it wants to focus on the
promotion of development in
Central America, not border en-
forcement tactics.
“Obviously, there’s not much
incentive to do something truly
radical that’s going to be highly
unpopular, as more forceful
measures would be,” Jacobson
said.
Senior Trump administration
officials have expressed alarm
over the images this week of the
migrants breaking past a secu-
rity gate in northern Guatemala
and streaming over a bridge,
with some jumping into and
wading through a river, to enter
Mexico.
Trump said the scene
amounted to “heartbreak on
both sides” and added that it
“spells out to Congress: Some-
thing has to be done. You can’t
have this happen.”
Although the size of the cara-
van remains relatively small
compared with the total num-
ber of unauthorized immigrants
arrested each month at the
southern U.S. border — more
than 50,000 were taken into
custody in September, accord-
ing to the Department of Home-
land Security — the arrival of
thousands in a single group,
with a phalanx of international
reporters in tow, could create a
humanitarian challenge and a
political crisis for the White
House.
It also could become a potent
leverage point if Trump makes
good on threats to force a
partial government shutdown
in a fight for funding for his
border wall during the lame-
duck congressional session af-
ter the midterm elections.
The United Nations has estimated the caravan at 7,200 people. Mexican officials, meanwhile, say the group is about half that size, at 3,630.
A woman rests on the roadside with her child while traveling as part of the caravan. The group
originated in Honduras and is traveling primarily by foot.
Democrats cautioned that
Trump was fanning public fears
by exaggerating the threats
posed by migrants; the presi-
dent has acknowledged that he
has seen no evidence to support
his public assertions that poten-
tial terrorists are in the caravan.
Amy Pope, who as deputy
homeland security adviser in the
Obama administration helped
coordinate an emergency re-
sponse to a surge of unaccompa-
nied minors in 2014, said the
Central American caravan is not
a national security threat.
“This is not people attacking
the border,” she said. “They are
presenting themselves [to Bor-
der Patrol agents] and making a
case for asylum. I think the best
solutions are ones where we are
working with Mexico to come up
with a way to manage the identi-
fication of people who should get
asylum.”
Trump’s response so far, she
added, was “more about messag-
ing and politics” to rally his
conservative base ahead of the
midterms.
In Twitter messages this week,
ADREES LATIF/REUTERS
Trump has suggested that he is
considering sending military
troops to the border and cutting
financial aid to Guatemala and
Honduras, and possibly Mexico,
for failing to halt the caravan. Up
to 2,100 National Guard troops
have been deployed to the border
mission in support roles after
the president authorized the
move in the spring, though it is
unclear whether Trump is eyeing
adding more guardsmen or us-
ing other military assets.
Officials at the State Depart-
ment and Pentagon said this
“This is not people
attacking the border.
They are. . . making a
case for asylum.”
Amy Pope, deputy homeland security
adviser in the Obama administration
week that they have received no
new directives from the White
House.
Behind the scenes, senior ad-
ministration officials acknowl-
edged that such moves would
have minimal effect in stopping
the overall flow of Central Ameri-
cans.
In the fiscal year that ended
last month, U.S. authorities ar-
rested a record 107,212 Central
American family members at
the southern border, obliterat-
ing the previous high of 77,000
in 2016. Experts said the surge
has been driven by deteriorat-
ing conditions in Honduras, El
Salvador and Guatemala, in-
cluding gang violence, orga-
nized crime, poverty and hun-
ger.
But Trump aides blamed U.S.
laws for being too lenient in
allowing the Central American
families to remain in the United
States and said the only solution
to blunt the spiking border
numbers would be for Congress
to amend the laws to speed up
deportations.
Under the law, families and
unaccompanied minors from
countries that do not border the
United States are offered great-
er legal safeguards than those
from Mexico or Canada. In most
cases, after applying for asylum,
they are released into the interi-
or of the country while awaiting
a hearing before an immigra-
tion judge — a process that can
take more than a year because of
massive backlogs.
“The administration wants
the ability to return whole Cen-
tral American families, and also
minors, after apprehension,”
one senior administration offi-
cial said during a background
briefing with reporters. Doing
so, the official added, would
send a strong deterrence mes-
sage that would dissuade others
from attempting a costly and
dangerous journey.
“If we could do that, there is no
border crisis,” the official said.
But humanitarian groups dis-
puted that strategy. In 2000,
roughly 95 percent of the immi-
grants apprehended at the bor-
der were from Mexico, most of
them single men seeking employ-
ment, according to DHS officials.
Last month, nearly 50 percent of
the immigrants taken into cus-
tody were from Central America,
most of them families with chil-
dren, the officials said.
Wendy Young, executive direc-
tor of Kids in Need of Defense,
said the federal laws were enact-
ed to offer greater safeguards to
these vulnerable populations.
“The immigration system
can’t be one-size-fits-all,” she
said.

Prince, embraced at forum, decries ‘a heinous crime’

BY K EVIN S ULLIVAN
AND W ILLIAM B RANIGIN
riyadh, saudi arabia — In his
most extensive public comments
since the killing of journalist
Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi agents
in Istanbul three weeks ago,
Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman said Wednesday that his
country is doing all it can to
complete an investigation and
bring those responsible to jus-
tice.
Mohammed called the killing
“a heinous crime” that was “real-
ly painful to all Saudis” and to
“every human being in the
world.”
Addressing more than 3,000
business leaders from around
the world at the Future Invest-
ment Initiative, Saudi Arabia’s
signature economic forum, he
accused unidentified critics of
trying to use the case to “drive a
wedge” between Saudi Arabia
and Turkey. He pledged that this
would not happen as long as his
father is king and he is the crown
prince.
The killing of Khashoggi, a
critic of the 33-year-old crown
prince, has overshadowed the
high-profile conference, intend-
ed to highlight Mohammed’s
drive to modernize the king-
dom’s economy and diversify
away from oil.
Amid widespread suspicion
over Mohammed’s role in the
lethal operation, his remarks had
been much anticipated here and
attracted a standing-room crowd
in the main hall, a vast auditori-
um with vaulted doorways
adorned with the Saudi symbol
of crossed swords and a palm
tree. The crown prince acknowl-
edged no responsibility for
Khashoggi’s death.
Mohammed, the country’s de
facto ruler, has been criticized
for crushing dissent and jailing
dozens of activists, including
women who had campaigned for
the right to drive, in the past
year.
The gathering, in an opulent
conference center attached to the
Ritz-Carlton, was boycotted by
Turkey,” he said in Arabic.
“I want to send them a mes-
sage: They will not be able to do
that as long as there is a king
named Salman bin Abdul Aziz
and a crown prince called Mo-
hammed bin Salman in Saudi
Arabia and a president in Turkey
called [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan.”
His references to his father and
himself were interrupted by ap-
plause in the chamber.
Sitting to Mohammed’s im-
mediate right was Lebanese
Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who
tendered his resignation last
year while visiting Riyadh and
was widely believed to have been
detained by the Saudis as part of
a broader dispute. Hariri later
revoked his resignation and re-
turned to Beirut.
That incident was widely
slammed as a sign of Moham-
med’s brazen willingness to
abuse power. Yet on Wednesday,
he joked about it. “Prime Minis-
ter Hariri will be in town for two
more days. Please do not start a
rumor that we kidnapped him,”
Mohammed said, to loud laugh-
ter and applause from the crowd.
Saudi government officials
have dramatically changed their
official story about what hap-
pened to Khashoggi, a contribut-
ing columnist for The Washing-
ton Post. His remains are still
missing, and Turkish officials
have said Saudi agents dismem-
bered his body, a detail that has

managing director of the New wedge between Saudi Arabia and The Saudi version of events
places blame far from Moham-
med, who has consolidated enor-
mous power since last year, when
he was made heir to the throne
occupied by his father, King Sal-
man. Instead, the Saudis fired
five people, including aides close
to Mohammed, and arrested 18
others.
President Trump said Tuesday
that Saudi officials had engaged
in the “worst coverup ever” after
Khashoggi’s killing, and the
United States on Tuesday an-
nounced its first concrete step to
penalize Saudi Arabia, revoking
visas for agents implicated in the
killing. Trump said he would
“leave it up to Congress” to
determine further steps against
the kingdom, which is a key U.S.
ally in the Middle East and a vast
market for U.S. arms manufac-
turers.
Many Saudis have been
shocked and disillusioned by the
Khashoggi killing, but few have
been willing to say so publicly.
Many have said they fear being
the next one arrested.
But many other Saudis inter-
viewed here this week said they
still stand behind Mohammed
because he has brought overdue
social and economic changes.
Some said they stand by Moham-
med because they want stability
at the top of the royal family.
The crowd in the auditorium
Wednesday was dominated by
Saudis and by foreigners who
stand to make millions from
business deals with Saudis. They
responded to the prince’s re-
marks with 18 rounds of ap-
plause, including one long stand-
ing ovation.
He talked about positive eco-
nomic numbers for exports, sala-
ries, unemployment, culture and
entertainment spending — and
the attendees broke in after near-
ly every statistic to applaud their
leader.
He mentioned that $50 billion
in deals were made Tuesday on
the conference’s first day, and the
crowd applauded. He compli-
mented Dubai. Applause. Ku-
wait. Applause. Egypt. Applause.
Jordan. Applause. He even had
positive words for Qatar, Saudi
Arabia’s archrival, which has
been accused by many Saudi
commentators of some involve-
ment in the Khashoggi killing.
“Despite our differences,” Mo-
hammed said, to more applause.
His comments during the 50-
minute discussion were mainly
an appeal for the Middle East to
become a greater player in the
world. He said the Middle East
was becoming “the new Europe”
and predicted a “renaissance in
the next 30 years” in the region.
Transforming the Middle East
into a leader in economic and
social innovation, he said, is akin
to waging a war. “This is my war,
which I launched personally,” he
said. “I don’t want to leave this
life without seeing the Middle
East at the forefront of the
world.” For that, he received a
sustained standing ovation.
Afterward, most people ap-
proached by a Post reporter de-
clined to comment.
One Saudi man started to talk,
but then his boss warned him
that company policy forbids
speaking to the media. But he
allowed the young man to com-
ment without giving his name.
“It was amazing,” he said. “It
gives us so much faith in all the
good numbers that are happen-
ing. It gives you faith to go back
to your office and work even
harder.”
Asked about the prince’s com-
ments about Khashoggi, the man
said he was glad Mohammed
addressed the issue.
“As a human being, we all
reject what happened,” he said.
“And we know the government is
going to do its best to solve it.
Everyone is happy with what he
said.”
Not everyone agreed.
“He is yet to be believed,” said
one Saudi analyst who spoke on
the condition of anonymity for
fear of retribution. “His charade
is not being well received by
many.”

Turkish leader speaks with Saudi prince but keeps up pressure over killing
BY E RIN C UNNINGHAM
AND L OVEDAY M ORRIS
istanbul — Turkey’s president
spoke directly with Saudi Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman
on Wednesday as the Turkish
probe into the killing of Jamal
Khashoggi returned to the Saudi
Consulate’s grounds in an appar-
ent hunt for the journalist’s re-
mains.
Turkish officials did not im-
mediately give details of the ex-
changes between President Re-
cep Tayyip Erdogan and the
crown prince, with the two coun-
tries sharply at odds over
Khashoggi’s slaying on Oct. 2.
But the contact came even as
both sides sent contrasting sig-
nals.
Erdogan earlier Wednesday
kept the pressure high, saying no
one linked to the killing will
“avoid justice,” an apparent mes-
sage to Saudi leaders.
Investigators, meanwhile,
sought to search a well on the
grounds of the Saudi Consulate in
Istanbul and studied surveillance
images, trying to piece together
Saudi movements before
Khashoggi’s slaying.
Mohammed, speaking at a
business forum in the Saudi capi-
tal, Riyadh, called the killing a
“heinous crime” and acknowl-
edged the international outcry
over it. But he also made over-
tures to Turkey and other coun-
tries with hopes that Khashoggi’s
death would not leave a “wedge”
in relations.
Turkey claims that a Saudi hit
team planned the killing of the
Washington Post contributing
columnist for when he entered
the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul
on Oct. 2.
Saudi Arabia has acknowl-
edged that Khashoggi died inside
the consulate but says he was
accidentally killed in a physical
altercation with a team sent to
negotiate his return to the king-
dom. Khashoggi was living in
exile in the United States and had
planned to move to Istanbul and
marry his Turkish fiancee.
Erdogan’s call with the crown
prince was the first conversation
between the two leaders since
Khashoggi’s death. They dis-
cussed “joint efforts” to investi-
gate the case, Turkey’s state-run
news agency reported, and the
official Saudi Press Agency car-
ried a similar statement.
Earlier, however, Erdogan had
vowed to seek justice against
those who ordered the killing.
“We are determined not to
allow a coverup of this murder
and to make sure all those re-
sponsible — from those who or-
dered it to those who carried it
out — will not be allowed to avoid
justice,” he said in a speech in
Ankara, the Turkish capital, news
agencies reported.
Turkey’s state-run news agency
also reported Wednesday that
Saudi officials had prevented
Turkish police from searching a
water well in the garden of the
consulate in Istanbul’s Levent
district.
According to the private broad-
caster NTV, a fire brigade had
been called to inspect for meth-
ane gas, which can be flammable,
in the well before the police
search. Saudi authorities did not
allow the firefighters to enter,
NTV reported, but the issue was
later resolved. It was unclear
whether the search went ahead.
Turkish crime-scene experts
have previously gathered evi-
dence inside the consulate and
the residence of the consul gener-
al but still seek greater access.
Also Wednesday, a surveil-
lance-camera image made public
in Turkey purported to show a
Saudi consular vehicle at Istan-
bul’s Belgrad Forest the night
before Khashoggi was killed.
Turkish authorities have said the
vehicle’s presence there points to
premeditation in the killing.
CIA Director Gina Haspel lis-
tened to audio purportedly cap-
turing the interrogation and kill-
ing of Khashoggi, giving a key
member of President Trump’s
Cabinet access to the evidence
used by Turkey to accuse Saudi
Arabia of premeditated murder.
Haspel, who departed for a secret
trip to Turkey on Monday, heard
the audio during her visit, accord-
ing to people familiar with her
visit. A person familiar with the
audio said it was “compelling”
and could put more pressure on
the United States to hold Saudi
Arabia accountable for the death
of Khashoggi.
In his first public comments
since the killing of Khashoggi,
Mohammed said his country is
doing all it can to complete an
investigation and bring the per-
petrators to justice.
Addressing a gathering of
more than 3,000 business leaders
from around the world at the
Future Investment Initiative,
Saudi Arabia’s signature eco-
nomic forum, often called “Davos
in the Desert,” Mohammed ac-
knowledged no responsibility in
the case. He called the killing “a
heinous crime” that was “really
painful to all Saudis” and to
“every human being in the world.”
But the backdrop for his com-
ments — a high-profile investor
forum in the Saudi capital —
underscored the global backlash
confronting the kingdom.
Many business leaders and po-
litical envoys from around the
world stayed away from the con-
ference amid the outrage over
Khashoggi’s slaying.
Some U.S. lawmakers and oth-
ers have called on Saudi Arabia’s
King Salman to reorder the line of
succession to drop Mohammed
from his position as next in line
for the throne.
But Saudi Prince Turki al-Fais-
al, a longtime supporter of
Khashoggi’s, dismissed the idea
of any shake-ups.
“People who think there’s go-
ing to be any change in the
succession are wrong,” Turki told
Post columnist David Ignatius.
Instead, Turki said, Saudis are
more supportive of MBS, as the
crown prince is familiarly known,
because he is under attack.
Turkish authorities, including
Erdogan, said this week that Sau-
di agents had scouted Belgrad
Forest before the killing inside
the consulate.
The image shown by Turkish
media outlets — timestamped
from a closed-circuit television
camera — showed a gray Mer-
cedes-Benz with green diplomat-
ic plates entering the forest gates
at 6:28 p.m. on Oct. 1.
A Turkish official previously
confirmed that investigators had
broadened their search for
Khashoggi’s body to wooded ar-
eas around the city.
Speaking to Parliament on
Wednesday, British Prime Minis-
ter Theresa May said that the
Saudi claim that Khashoggi died
in a fight “does not amount to a
credible explanation” and that
there remains an “urgent need” to
establish what happened.
She said that Britain would be
taking action against “all sus-
pects” to prevent them from en-
tering Britain, following the U.S.
decision to revoke the visas of the
Saudi suspects Tuesday — a meas-
ure that seemed mostly symbolic,
since the suspects are unlikely to
have free rein to travel.
“If these individuals currently
have visas, those visas will be
revoked today,” May said, adding
that she would be speaking with
King Salman later Wednesday.

Under Erdogan,
journalists in peril
BY C HICO H ARLAN
istanbul — His career spans
four decades, and Can Dundar
said he has never seen a darker
period for journalism in Turkey.
His colleagues have been impris-
oned, banned from traveling, ac-
cused of inciting hatred and aid-
ing terrorists. Major Turkish me-
dia outlets, the ones that still
exist, toe the government line.
Dundar himself now lives in
exile in Berlin, publishing col-
umns — in a series called “My
Turkey” — critical of a govern-
ment that will probably jail him if
he returns home.
“They’d take me right off the
plane,” said Dundar, the former
editor in chief of a prominent
Turkish daily who is accused of
espionage and revealing state se-
crets.
This week, President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan has pressed to
fully investigate the killing of a
high-profile Saudi journalist, Ja-
mal Khashoggi, at Saudi Arabia’s
consulate in Istanbul.
But journalists like Dundar
and press advocates say that Er-
dogan’s demands for truth and
openness in the case belie the
strategy he has used — ruthlessly
and effectively — in one of the
world’s most sweeping crack-
downs on press freedom. Some
Erdogan critics note pointedly
that Khashoggi, a former royal
court insider turned Saudi gov-
ernment critic, fled his own coun-
try because of constraints on free-
dom of speech and diminished
tolerance for dissent.
“It’s sad,” Dundar said. “If [Er-
dogan] cares about journalists,
what about ours” in Turkey?
Though journalists in Turkey
have long faced risks, they say
Erdogan’s tactics in recent years
have all but eliminated coverage
that the government might dis-
like while pushing the country
closer toward authoritarian rule.
According to the Committee to
Protect Journalists, Turkey jails
more journalists than any other
nation — more than China, Russia
and Egypt combined. Earlier this
year, a Turkish court sentenced
six journalists and media employ-
ees to life in prison for alleged

links to the U.S.-based cleric and
Erdogan rival Fethullah Gulen,
whom Ankara has said spear-
headed a 2016 coup attempt.
But even for journalists who
don’t face legal jeopardy, there are
new hazards. After the thwarted
coup, more than 100 broadcasters
and other news outlets were or-
dered closed by a state decree,
part of a massive purge of per-
ceived Erdogan enemies. Other
outlets have been converted into
government cheerleaders after
sales to pro-Erdogan business ex-
ecutives or companies. Media
members say they have had to
weigh moral decisions about
whether to remain in an industry
that now serves as part of what
one veteran journalist called the
“propaganda machinery.”
“Journalism is in a deep coma
in Turkey,” that journalist said,
speaking on the condition of ano-
nymity because he was reluctant
to admit publicly that he was
censoring himself. “There are ta-
boos. I can’t write anything. It’s
like the Twilight Zone.”
In the World Press Freedom
Index, published by Reporters
Without Borders, Turkey ranks
157 among 180 nations.
At a Bloomberg-organized fo-
rum last year, Erdogan responded
to a question about imprisoned
press members by saying, “Most
of those you say are in prison
aren’t journalists. Most of them
are terrorists.” He added: “Saying
‘I’m a journalist’ doesn’t make you
a journalist.”
For Erdogan, the media con-
trols are one way to rein in a
highly polarized country and
head off additional crises. The
coup attempt involved a bombing
of the parliament building, left
more than 200 dead, and high-
lighted the Gulen movement’s
penetration of the military and
state institutions. But Erdogan
seized on the crisis to silence
political opponents, as well. They
were swept up in the post-coup
purges and arrests, along with
dissidents, journalists and inno-
cent bystanders, human rights
groups said.
Specifically in his handling of
the Khashoggi case, Erdogan has
seized on a chance to present

himself as a truth-teller, weaken
the rival Saudis and burnish Tur-
key’s international reputation,
analysts say. Erdogan was said to
have a personal relationship with
Khashoggi, and they share some
views about the place of Islam in
politics. Speaking Tuesday, Erdo-
gan described Khashoggi’s killing
not as an attack against journal-
ism but as a brazen crime commit-
ted within a diplomatic building
— involving an attempted Saudi
coverup that should “hurt the
conscience of all humanity.”
Authorities here have said that
many Turkish media members
who were charged or sentenced
shouldn’t be considered journal-
ists because they were engaged in
activities beyond the scope of
their profession. But journalists
who’ve faced legal trouble say the
evidence used against them tends
to be the basic daily work of
journalism: articles, messages ex-
changed with sources, even affili-
ation with a particular outlet.
In one prominent case, police
acting on a court ruling in 2016
seized the offices of Turkey’s high-
est-circulation newspaper, Za-

man, firing tear gas at protesters
and placing the paper under state
control. Zaman, which had been
affiliated with the Gulenist move-
ment, soon was shut down for
good. This July, six of its former
columnists and editors were sen-
tenced to prison terms. Amnesty
International called the convic-
tions “absurd.”
Describing Turkey’s media
landscape, Howard Eissenstat, a
Turkey specialist at St. Lawrence
University and a nonresident sen-
ior fellow at the Project on Middle
East Democracy, said that on ma-
jor issues “the [TV] channels are
in lockstep.”
“This would be the equivalent
of being in a country in which you
had seven MSNBCs or seven Fox
televisions, where you had news
that was clearly supportive of the
government on all the channels,”
Eissenstat said.
The media crackdown has also
had personal implications for
journalists, including for Dundar,
who until three years ago held one
of the top jobs in Turkish journal-
ism, as editor in chief of Cumhuri-
yet, a mainstream opposition

newspaper. Dundar called the pa-
per “one of the last free castles of
the free media,” and in 2015, it
published video and photos pur-
porting to show weapons ship-
ments from Turkey’s intelligence
agency to Syrian rebels. Erdogan
said soon after that Dundar would
pay a “heavy price.” Months later,
he was arrested, along with the
paper’s Ankara bureau chief.
Dundar has since lived in legal
limbo. He spent three months in
pretrial detention. He won his
temporary release. He escaped
injury when shot at by an assail-
ant who called him a “traitor.”
(The assailant was arrested.) And
in May 2016, he was sentenced to
nearly six years in prison. He
remained free to travel abroad
while appealing that decision,
and at the time of the coup, he was
in Barcelona and working on a
book. His lawyer suggested he not
return, saying the courts couldn’t
be trusted to hear his case. Dun-
dar listened. Instead, he went to
Germany.
“I had luggage full of books and
summer clothes and nothing
else,” he said.

He has tried to lead a low-pro-
file life in Berlin. He says he is
lonely. His wife has been barred
from leaving Turkey. He takes pre-
cautions about his safety. Earlier
this year, Turkey’s highest court
said Dundar should in fact get a
stiffer sentence — up to 20 years
on espionage charges. At a news
conference in Berlin with Chan-
cellor Angela Merkel last month,
Erdogan called Dundar a “spy”
who had revealed “state secrets”
and made a case for his extradi-
tion.
Dundar started an online news
portal that was swiftly blocked in
Turkey. In the meantime, he con-
tributes columns for the Germany
weekly Die Zeit, and he writes
about many of the topics that
journalists in Turkey can’t pursue,
including corruption and press
freedom. At times, he said, he
feels more like an activist than a
journalist.
“A freedom fighter, unfortu-
nately,” Dundar said. “I say ‘unfor-
tunately’ because it’s not the kind
of journalism I wanted. But we
were forced into it.”

Apple CEO, at European Parliament, harshly critiques Silicon Valley

Tim Cook laments poor
privacy practices, societal
divisions on social media
BY T ONY R OMM
Apple chief executive Tim
Cook on Wednesday warned the
world’s most powerful regulators
that the poor privacy practices of
some tech companies, the ills of
social media and the erosion of
trust in his own industry threat-
en to undermine “technology’s
awesome potential” to address
challenges such as disease and
climate change.
In a searing critique of Silicon
Valley — delivered from the well
of the European Parliament in
Brussels — Cook began by em-
phasizing he remains optimistic
that “new technologies are driv-
ing breakthroughs in humanity’s
greatest common projects.”
But the Apple leader expressed
alarm about divisive political
rhetoric that proliferates on so-
cial media platforms, and rogue
actors and governments that
seize on algorithms to “deepen
divisions, incite violence, and
even undermine our shared sense
of what is true and what is false.”
He also lamented an emerging
“data-industrial complex” — a
play on a 1960s-era criticism of
defense contractors — that al-
lows companies to “know you
better than you may know your-
self.” Cook didn’t mention Face-
book, Google or any other compa-
ny by name.
Cook stressed that privacy is a
“fundamental human right.” He
praised the European Union’s
newly implemented tough data-
protection rules, and he called on
U.S. regulators to pass a compre-
hensive digital privacy law.
“Now, more than ever — as
leaders of governments, as
decision-makers in business, and
as citizens — we must ask our-
selves a fundamental question:
What kind of world do we want to
live in?” he said.
For Cook, the speech Wednes-
day in Brussels marked his
highest-profile critique of his
peers in Silicon Valley. Hours
later, top executives from Face-
book and Google similarly
pledged to protect their users’
data and pursue new advance-
ments, such as artificial intelli-
gence, in a responsible way. “We
want to make sound choices and
build products that benefit soci-
ety,” Sundar Pichai, the chief ex-
ecutive of Google, said in a video
address to attendees.
Ultimately, though, Cook’s
calls could serve to embolden
policymakers and watchdogs
from Europe and around the
world to take further aim at U.S.
tech giants.
Armed with its new privacy
rules, the General Data Protec-
tion Regulation, the E.U. has
forced companies, including
Facebook, to give users more
choice over what happens with
their data — or face fines up to
4 percent of their global revenue.
The E.U. also has questioned
the corporate footprints of some
of the largest tech firms. The
bloc’s competition chief, Mar-
grethe Vestager, imposed her lat-
est fine against Google in July,
and last month she announced
a probe into Amazon.com’s use of
data. (Jeffrey P. Bezos, the found-
er and chief executive of Amazon,
owns The Washington Post.)
Apple has felt the sting of the
E.U. over its tax practices. The
bloc slapped the iPhone maker
with a $15 billion bill in 2016,
contending that it had received
unfair tax incentives from Ire-
land. Apple paid but is still ap-
pealing.
The issue loomed over Cook
this week. He met Tuesday with
French President Emmanuel Ma-
cron, who has been pushing his
E.U. counterparts to force tech
giants to pay higher taxes. Cook
also plans to meet Frans Timmer-
mans, the E.U.’s first vice presi-
dent, on Thursday, according to
his public schedule.
Cook has long been outspoken
about privacy as he seeks to
separate Apple from competitors
such as Google, which rely on
harnessing personal information
about Web users to serve them
targeted ads. During his speech
Wednesday, Cook commended
the new E.U. rules as a sign that
“good policy and political will can
come together to protect the
rights of us all.”
“Now, there are those who
would prefer I hadn’t said all of
that,” Cook said about his call for
U.S. rules. “Some oppose any
form of privacy legislation. Oth-
ers will endorse reform in public,
and then resist and undermine it
behind closed doors.” He add-
ed: “But this notion isn’t just
wrong, it is destructive.”
Cook began adopting a harder
edge after mishaps rocked Face-
book this year. That includes the
social media giant’s entangle-
ment with a political consultan-
cy, Cambridge Analytica, which
improperly accessed data on
87 million of the site’s users.
“The truth is, we could make a
ton of money if we monetized our
customer — if our customer was
our product. We’ve elected not to
do that,” Cook said about the
controversy in March. Asked how
he would have handled the inci-
dent, the Apple chief replied: “I
wouldn’t be in this situation.”
Speaking later Wednesday,
Google’s Pichai also stressed that
privacy is an “individual right
that we must continue to work
together to uphold.” He said the
company is rethinking some of
the ways it collects, taps and
monetizes user data, and Google
leaders announced they would
make it easier for users to delete
some of their information, in-
cluding their search histories.

and Democrat — that came after

Former Fed chief worries about more than inflation two children, but he felt his coun-
try needed him.

BY H EATHER L ONG Pressure on the Fed Ditch inflation target

new york city — When Paul
Volcker listens to President
Trump bash the Federal Reserve,
he grimaces, but he is not sur-
prised. Volcker, the tall and re-
vered former Fed chair, has wit-
nessed more egregious examples
of presidents demanding that in-
terest rates stay low.
In the summer of 1984, when
Volcker was chair of the Federal
Reserve Board and in the midst of
the painful process of trying to get
inflation under control, President
Ronald Reagan summoned him
to the White House. Instead of
meeting in the Oval Office, Volck-
er says in a new book, he was
escorted into the library, where
Reagan sat alongside Chief of
Staff Jim Baker.
“The president is ordering you
not to raise interest rates before
the election,” Baker said.
Volcker says he was “stunned”
at Reagan’s brazen attack on the
Fed’s independence. He was con-
cerned because the central bank
was not planning to raise rates at
the time, and he did not want
Reagan to think the library meet-
ing had influenced policy. The
scene was described before in
“Maestro,” Bob Woodward’s book
on subsequent Fed Chair Alan
Greenspan, and Volcker is now
giving his firsthand account of it
at a crucial time for the Fed.
“I walked out without saying a
word,” Volcker writes in a book
that is coming out this month,
adding he thinks the library was
chosen for the meeting because it
“probably lacked a taping sys-
tem.”
Trump has called the central
bank and current Fed Chairman
Jerome H. Powell “loco,” “crazy”
and “my biggest threat” for gradu-
ally raising interest rates, but the
president has yet to summon
Powell to the White House to
discuss it in person.
“My message to Chairman
Powell is, be strong and follow
your instincts,” Volcker said in an
interview in the apartment he
bought in the 1970s on Manhat-
tan’s Upper East Side. “Given all
the other things Trump says, I
wouldn’t be too concerned.”
Volcker says the Fed was under
more duress than now in the early
1950s, when Treasury pressed the
central bank to keep rates low to
make World War II debt pay-
ments more sustainable and in
1979 as inflation spiked and
Volcker dramatically hiked rates.
In his book, he also shares that
in 1965, President Lyndon B.
Johnson urged Fed Chair William
McChesney Martin Jr. to keep
rates low because raising them
would “amount to squeez-
ing blood from the American
working man in the interest of
Wall Street.”
As the Treasury staffer respon-
sible for monetary policy, Volcker
was in the room when Johnson
made his demand, and he remem-
bers Martin refusing to yield.
Johnson then tried a different
tactic, saying he was having gall
bladder surgery and that surely
the Fed chair would not want to
act while he was in the hospital.
Martin ultimately waited to raise
rates until Johnson left the hospi-
tal.
In his new book, former Federal Reserve Board chair Paul Volcker targets Americans’ distrust.
A lack of respect
At 91, Volcker has a new book,
“Keeping At It: The Quest for
Sound Money and Good Govern-
ment,” coming out Oct. 30 from
publisher PublicAffairs. He co-
wrote it with Christine Harper,
the editor of Bloomberg Markets.
It is partly a memoir of how a
middle-class New Jersey boy born
during the Great Depression end-
ed up in the highest echelons of
power in the White House and
Fed. But it is also an urgent call for
America to get its act together as
he warns of partisanship and
greed that could destroy the na-
tion’s ability to lead.
“We have a serious problem in
this country,” says Volcker, who is
fighting cancer. “Here I am trying
to defend government in the
midst of a world that doesn’t re-
2015 PHOTO BY BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES
spect it.”
Volcker is aghast at how, he
says, Americans no longer trust in
government, media, science or
just about anything else. While he
acknowledges the erosion of trust
has been going on for years, he
chastises Trump for exacerbating
the problem.
“I hope we’re at the bottom,” he
says, adding he hopes “we’ll begin
clawing our away back if not in
this election, then in the next
election.”
Questions on the future
People still come up to Volcker
on the street to thank him for
“saving our country” from infla-
tion in the 1980s, when he took
interest rates above 15 percent
and caused a recession in an effort
to tame double-digit inflation. He
is not concerned (much) about
inflation now. But he is terrified
by how the U.S. government
seems unable to do basic func-
tions like keeping up infrastruc-
ture, as well as the fact few young
Americans are entering public
service.
“These days college students
interpret ‘doing good’ as going to
law school and making $200,000
a year when they get out of law
school,” Volcker said, shaking his
head.
He has taught numerous cours-
es over the years at Princeton
University. He is a 1949 graduate,
and he wrote his prescient senior
thesis there on how the Fed
should not cave to political pres-
sure, in an effort to encourage
more people to enter government.
Volcker devoted most of his
When it comes to the Fed, Vol-
cker says he hears a lot of the right
things from Powell, who took over
as chair in February, almost
30 years after Volcker left. But
Volcker thinks the Fed made a big
mistake by announcing a 2 per-
cent inflation target. By law, the
Fed is supposed to keep prices
stable, but the central bank does
not need to define that with a
specific figure.
“They made up the 2 percent
number,” Volcker says, his voice
rising in frustration. “One of the
reasons I wrote this . . . memoir is
I get upset when I hear them
fighting over whether 1.75 percent
is enough inflation.”
He argues that there is no way
to know with such precision
what the inflation rate is, nor
whether 2 percent is the right
number that will keep the econo-
my humming without overheat-
ing or crashing. To Volcker, cen-
tral banking is an art, and it is
dangerous to give the public a
false perception that the Fed can
fine tune so narrowly.
“The idea that the economy
rests on whether the federal funds
rate is 1.5 percent or 1.75 percent is
just ridiculous,” he said.
What he does know with cer-
tainty as he looks around his
study filled with books, fishing
mementos and black-and-white
photos is that he still misses the
Brooklyn Dodgers. And, “I no lon-
ger want to visit Washington, the
city in which I gladly spent most
of my career,” he said. “It’s all
politics and lobbying now. It
makes me ill.”

Wednesday.

Tumbling markets muffle a favorite Trump talking point
MARKETS FROM A1
Trump has increasingly looked
to shift focus away from eco-
nomic indicators he once touted
and toward immigration and oth-
er issues — and assign blame
elsewhere for any economic set-
backs.
He has pummeled the Federal
Reserve, alleging higher interest
rates pose the biggest risk to
growth — even musing he might
have made a mistake when he
nominated Jerome H. Powell as
the nation’s top central banker
less than a year ago. It is unusual
for a president to attack the
central bank — the Fed aims to
maintain independence from the
White House to avoid the taint of
politics in its economic decisions.
Trump has also promised a
10 percent middle-class tax cut, a
proposal that caught his aides by
surprise and that lawmakers said
was exceedingly unlikely in the
near future.
In recent days, Trump has
suggested he could mobilize the
military to protect the southern
border from a caravan of mi-
grants, but he has said little about
the recent stock-market move-
ment.
“The president is very good at
manipulating the narrative and
getting people — either through
traditional media or social media
— to focus on what he wants
them to focus on,” said Brian
Gardner, managing director at
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, an in-
vestment bank.
Trump’s focus on immigration
and his surprise proposal for a
middle-class tax cut come as the
strong economy exhibits signs of
strain.
Beyond the slumping market,
rates on 30-year mortgages are
climbing, with many loans now
eclipsing 5 percent. Higher inter-
est rates can limit borrowing,
slowing home sales and the econ-
omy. And a range of businesses —
including firms that Trump has
praised, such as Harley-Davidson
and United Technologies — is
warning that the White House’s
trade strategy could cost them
millions of dollars in lost rev-
enue.

nies mentioned “tariffs” during
calls with analysts in recent days,

countries in the midst of pro-
found internal changes, strug-
gling to resolve a conflict that
already is slowing the global
economy and could soon worsen.
Though Trump repeatedly prom-
ised to revolutionize U.S. trade
policy, Chinese leaders have been
slow to grasp the implications of
his presidency and even slower to
recognize that their traditional
American contacts cannot speak
for the disruptive leader in the
Oval Office.
“They are stuck in a rut,” said
Dennis Wilder, a former top Chi-
na analyst for the Central Intelli-
gence Agency. “They missed a sea
change in the American political
system.”
The mixed signals have left the
onus squarely on Trump and
President Xi Jinping to personal-
ly begin resolving the Sino-U.S.
trade conflict when they meet at
the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires
next month. Both men are proud
nationalists, with compromise
especially difficult for Xi, who
cannot be seen to be capitulating
to foreign pressure.
Since Trump’s election, the two
governments have cycled
through a remarkable lineup of
official and unofficial intermedi-
aries amid a blur of mutual
misunderstanding and rising
suspicion.
“China feels cheated by Trump
many times — I think many
countries that trade with the U.S.
would understand,” said Wang
Wen, a professor at Renmin Uni-
versity in Beijing who advises
Chinese policymakers. “If he real-
ly wants conflict, then we’re not
scared of conflict with the United
States. We’re scared of not having
channels to talk to the United
States.”
Alarms over the souring rela-
tionship went off in Beijing this
year when Department of Home-
land Security agents at the San
Francisco airport stopped a half-
dozen senior Chinese research-
ers, including some employed by
the China Institutes of Contem-
porary International Relations —
an influential think tank that
answers to China’s intelligence
agency. The agents confiscated
the researchers’ laptops and
phones and demanded their
passwords, according to two peo-
ple familiar with the incident,
who spoke on the condition of
to cause a drag on the economy.
Trump has dismissed com-
plaints from chief executives
about the White House’s trade
policy, telling the Wall Street
Journal that overpaid executives
will not take responsibility for
their own bad decisions.
“I have created such an incred-
ible economy,” Trump said in
Montana last week. “I have creat-
ed so many jobs.”
Trump said repeatedly during
the summer that the United
States was experiencing the
greatest economy in its history,
largely citing the low unemploy-
ment rate. And Tuesday, in an
interview with the Wall Street
Journal, he falsely denied impos-
ing any tariffs on imports, even
though he has implemented nu-
merous tariffs against a range of
countries this year.
His comments to the Journal
directly contradict his Twitter
post from a few hours earlier, in
which he said the tariffs he had
launched were bringing billions
of dollars into the government’s
coffers. Trump has mischaracter-
ized the way tariffs work, suggest-
ing they are paid by other coun-
tries rather than by U.S. compa-
nies that import the products —
often passing those costs to U.S.
consumers.
White House officials have de-
nied that Trump’s recent behav-
ior is driven by concerns about a
weakening economy, saying the
new tax plan, despite its surprise
rollout, is meant to build on last
year’s tax law and help the middle
class. And a number of senior
officials have said the fundamen-
tals of the economy remain
strong, and the White House has
an upbeat outlook for next year.
“Our job is to focus on what the
economic numbers say, and the
numbers are very solid right
now,” Kevin Hassett, chairman of
the White House Council of Eco-
nomic Advisers, said in an inter-
view. “If your policies have pro-
duced the numbers we are ob-
serving, then you shouldn’t
duck.”
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Repub-
lican economist, said the new
tax-cut announcement struck
many as an act of knee-jerk
desperation.
“I don’t think it helps to have
the president invent a tax cut,” he
said. “That looks panicky. That
anonymity to discuss a sensitive
issue.
Outraged Chinese scholars
suspected the searches were po-
litically motivated and wrote to
the State Department saying they
would cancel future trips to the
United States, according to a
copy of an email from the think
tank seen by The Washington
Post. (The institute later resumed
travel to the United States after
receiving State Department as-
surances.)
This month, a conflict that
began with U.S. allegations of
unfair Chinese trade practices
expanded into a broader indict-
ment. Vice President Pence as-
sailed Beijing for allegedly trying
to influence the November elec-
tions, assembling an aggressive
military and violating the reli-
gious freedoms of its citizens.
Lots of negotiators, channels
As they weigh the widening
U.S. attacks, China faces a crowd-
ed lineup of negotiators. Beijing
initially viewed Ross, 80, as first-
among-equals, in part because
his advanced age resonated with
officials who themselves had ris-
en through a system that priori-
tized seniority, Wilder said.
But Ross has proved unable to
deliver presidential approval for
a deal, either with last year’s
agreement to limit steel produc-
tion or earlier this year when
Trump overruled him on the
punishment of Chinese telecom
giant ZTE.
“Ross has been repudiated
twice now, once for being too soft
on China and once for being too
hard,” said economist Derek Scis-
sors of the American Enterprise
Institute.
Mnuchin has fared little better
and has his own credibility prob-
lems with his Chinese counter-
parts, officials said. To China,
administration hard-liners such
as U.S. Trade Representative
Robert E. Lighthizer or Peter
Navarro, a White House trade
adviser and the author of books
such as “Death by China” and
“The Coming China Wars,” are
enemies rather than negotiating
partners.
In their struggles to fathom
the president’s intentions, the
Chinese have tried both estab-
lishment and unconventional
channels. They have reached out

hurts the larger effort. That
wasn’t the White House. That
was him.”
Job growth during Trump’s
presidency is roughly compara-
ble to the last four years of the
Obama administration, though
the jobless rate is lower and
economic growth has picked up.
Economists are mixed on wheth-
er this is sustainable, with some
cautioning the gains from tax
cuts and higher federal spending
are temporary.
“It’s easy to say [Trump is]
trying to set the Fed up for the fall
here, but a lot of people were
warning that the president was
taking a risk and Republicans
were taking a risk by putting
forward a bunch of fiscal stimu-
lus at this point in the business
cycle,” said James Pethokoukis, a
policy analyst at the American
Enterprise Institute.
New-home sales sank for the
fourth straight month in Septem-
ber, reflecting the impact of
mortgage rates that now top
5 percent for many borrowers.
Cabinet officials such as Henry
Paulson and Henry Kissinger,
and prominent business leaders,
including Stephen Schwarzman,
chief executive of the Blackstone
Group, who attended the recent
event with Wang.
They also have sought insight
into the president’s thinking by
tapping figures closer to Trump,
including casino magnate Steve
Wynn and former White House
strategist Stephen K. Bannon,
whose warnings of “economic
war” with China while at Trump’s
side earned him a private meet-
ing with Wang Qishan, Xi’s vice
president.
“There’ve been quite a few
channels,” said Michael Pillsbury,
director of the Hudson Institute’s
center on Chinese strategy and
an occasional White House advis-
er. “As many as 10 Americans can
claim to be speaking for Presi-
dent Xi to President Trump and
vice versa. If the messages were
identical, that might be okay. . . .
But the messages were not inter-
nally consistent.”
Incoherent message?
Administration officials insist
they have been clear in their
demands that China stop forcing
American businesses to surren-
der their technology before en-
tering the Chinese market, subsi-
dizing state businesses in ad-
vanced industries and stealing
U.S. trade secrets.
But Trump’s message has
sounded garbled on the receiving
end, many U.S. analysts said. The
administration argues that the
Chinese government should re-
duce its role in the economy yet
somehow simultaneously cho-
reograph a massive increase in
Chinese companies’ purchases of
American goods.
“There are deep contradic-
tions in their approach,” said
Douglas Paal, former vice chair-
man of JPMorgan Chase Interna-
tional and now a vice president at
the Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational Peace.
The Chinese government
greeted Trump’s 2016 election
victory with “shock and alarm,”
said Ryan Hass, a former U.S.
diplomat who is now at the
Brookings Institution. Less than
one month after the election,
Trump startled the Chinese by
accepting a call from the presi-
dent of Taiwan, which Beijing
regards as a renegade province.
Sales of new single-family
homes last month fell 5.5 percent
from the previous month, to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate
of 553,000, according to a govern-
ment report. September’s sales
volume was more than 13 percent
lower than the same month one
year earlier, and figures for June,
July and August were also revised
down.
Though the strong labor mar-
ket is likely to support demand,
some economists are beginning
to worry about collateral damage
from a housing downturn.
“The economy cannot grow at
a sustainable 3 percent pace for
long if new-home sales continue
to tumble,” warned economist
Chris Rupkey of MUFG Union
Bank.
Many executives had hoped
trade fights with China and other
countries would be resolved
swiftly, but it appears a number
of disagreements will drag into at
least next year.
The $260 billion in tariffs
Trump unleashed on Beijing took
No U.S. president or president-
elect in almost 40 years had
spoken directly with a Taiwanese
leader.
Cui Tiankai, China’s ambassa-
dor to the United States, was
among those caught unawares.
“His job is to be the eyes and ears
of the Chinese government and
he got that wrong,” said one
veteran China analyst, who asked
not to be named to preserve his
relationship with Cui.
On the Trump team, mean-
while, officials scrambled to as-
semble a unified China policy.
Jared Kushner, a White House
aide and the president’s son-in-
law, opened an early and uncon-
ventional diplomatic channel,
meeting Cui for several private
conversations. One result was the
April 2017 summit between
Trump and Xi at the president’s
Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida
where the two leaders agreed to
begin a four-part dialogue.
Mar-a-Lago convinced Chi-
nese leaders that they could do
business with Trump, whom they
viewed as a transaction-oriented
businessman. His claims as a
candidate that China was “rap-
ing” the U.S. economy were just
rhetorical red meat for his voters,
in this view.
Chinese officials were accus-
tomed to American presidents
who campaigned on tough talk
and then moderated their views
once in office. Bill Clinton fa-
mously had castigated the Com-
munist Party leadership as the
“butchers of Beijing” following
the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-
tests. Yet as president, he ushered
China into the World Trade Or-
ganization.
Beijing expected something
similar from Trump. Instead, the
president hit China with punish-
ing tariffs, first on imports of
steel and aluminum and then
twice on its shipments of indus-
trial products and consumer
goods. Far from being eager to
bargain, Trump for the past two
months has said repeatedly that
it’s “not the right time” to make a
deal with China. The president
also has criticized China in an
intensely public fashion, discom-
bobulating Chinese officials ac-
customed to more discreet diplo-
macy.
“It’s a very different approach
to negotiating. They’ve never
seen this before from the United
States,” said Wilder, who served

effect in this year’s third quarter,
covering roughly half of what the
United States buys from China.
American companies have
warned for months that Trump’s
trade war with China and other
nations could wrench their bot-
tom lines, and now they are
quantifying that damage in dour
earnings reports.
Ford recently reported levies
on metals will shave $1 billion off
the automaker’s profits, while
consumer-goods giant Honey-
well said it expects to absorb
“hundreds of millions of dollars”
in new duty-related costs.
Minnesota manufacturer 3M
projected a loss next year of
$100 million, blaming “tariff
head winds.” Caterpillar shares
took the sharpest dive in seven
years after the tractor maker said
the commercial battle between
the world’s two largest economies
was driving up the price of steel.
Walmart cautioned that prices
could swell because a third of the
products on its shelves arrive
from outside the United States —
as President George W. Bush’s top
China aide before becoming the
CIA’s deputy assistant director
for East Asia and the Pacific.
The unusual American ap-
proach comes amid ongoing po-
litical change within the Chinese
system. Xi has abandoned four
decades of collective leadership,
centralizing power in his own
hands and eliminating term lim-
its on his rule. State industries
are once again in favor as pro-
market initiatives lag.
Against that backdrop, the
lack of clarity about Trump’s
objective has put Chinese offi-
cials who might otherwise float
diplomatic initiatives “in an in-
credibly awkward position in an
authoritarian system,” Wilder
said.
Advisers without influence
The president’s unconvention-
al style and hawkish views on
trade have vexed plenty of for-
eign governments. But Trump
seems to have particularly flus-
tered China, which spent decades
cultivating relationships with
U.S. business executives and re-
tired government officials, only
to discover that their read on the
White House is no longer author-
itative.
“The Chinese felt that they
could maybe control this Trump
guy a bit using Henry Kissinger,
Steve Schwarzman, Hank Paul-
son and so forth, but China has
realized they don’t have near as
much influence over Trump as
they anticipated,” said Max Bau-
cus, ambassador to Beijing dur-
ing the Obama administration.
In September, Wang, the Ren-
min University scholar, and a
Chinese delegation met with
Kissinger in New York and asked
the 95-year-old former secretary
of state to deliver a message to
the White House. Kissinger tried
to temper expectations: The Chi-
nese may hold him in high es-
teem, Kissinger said, but Trump
probably wouldn’t listen.
In mid-September, the Chinese
scheduled a hastily arranged con-
ference of top financial execu-
tives, co-hosted by John Thorn-
ton, a former Goldman Sachs
president, and Zhou Xiaochuan,
China’s former central bank
chief, but it made little headway.
Beijing also has dispatched to
Washington a stream of former
government officials for “Track
2” meetings with their American

and many are labeled “Made in
China.”
United Technologies, which
once lauded Trump for saving its
Carrier subsidiary’s Indianapolis
furnace factory, has changed its
public stance on the president’s
economic moves, saying his flur-
ry of levies will sting to the tune
of $200 million.
And Harley-Davidson said this
week the duties will zap $20 mil-
lion out of its wallet this year and
that retaliatory tariffs from the
European Union could deal an
additional $45 million blow.
More than a third of the 110
S&P 500 companies that have
shared third-quarter earnings
since Tuesday have discussed the
impact of higher border taxes
during their conference calls
with analysts, according to the
investor research group FactSet.
Some companies have ap-
pealed directly to the administra-
tion, urging Trump to lower the
trade barriers before the burden
falls on American shoppers.
“As the largest retailer in the
United States and a major buyer
of U.S. manufactured goods, we
are very concerned about the
impacts these tariffs would have
on our business, our customers,
our suppliers and the U.S. econo-
my as a whole,” Walmart wrote in
a late-September letter to U.S.
Trade Representative Robert E.
Lighthizer.
Several economic factors could
converge in the coming weeks to
put more pressure on growth,
including a decision from Powell
about whether to again raise a
key borrowing rate in December
and an expected fight over feder-
al spending levels. The results of
those could give investors and
households a new perspective on
Trump’s stewardship of an econo-
my that looks much different
from its appearance one year ago.
Offering one of the last snap-
shots of the economy before the
midterm elections, the govern-
ment is scheduled to release eco-
nomic data Friday that measures
how much the economy grew

counterparts. Such unofficial dis-
cussions are a common approach
to floating trial solutions to trou-
blesome foreign policy matters.
But they have proven far less
useful in the Trump administra-
tion, in part because Washing-
ton’s most prominent think tanks
are populated by establishment
figures who lack close ties to
Trump.
In August, Fu Ying, one of
China’s most seasoned diplo-
mats, traveled to Washington ex-
pecting to hold such talks with
American scholars and officials,
only to be surprised when the
White House withdrew its offi-
cials from the meeting, Chinese
and U.S. analysts said.
“The Chinese government is
using an old playbook. They ha-
ven’t figured out how the times
and attitudes have changed, and
they are either unable or unwill-
ing to come up with new plays
that suit the circumstances,” said
one National Security Council
official, who would comment on
sensitive discussions only if
granted anonymity.
While China’s state media have
vowed never to cave to U.S.
pressure, there is a quiet ac-
knowledgment in Beijing that
China may have misjudged the
depth and breadth of anti-China
sentiment in Washington. It’s not
just Trump who has soured on
China. Leading Democrats and
the business community say a
confrontation over China’s mer-
cantilist trade practices is over-
due.
The White House has not pro-
vided Xi, who has built his do-
mestic image as a tough national-
ist, with a face-saving path to
offer concessions, according to
U.S. business leaders and China
analysts. With the Mar-a-Lago
dialogues stalled, and the Kush-
ner-Cui channel no longer opera-
tive, many Chinese officials are
pessimistic about repairing the
relationship.
“The Chinese are becoming
convinced that the U.S. is an
active enemy and needs to be
treated as such,” said Charles W.
Freeman Jr., a former U.S. diplo-
mat who served as President
Richard M. Nixon’s interpreter
during his 1972 trip to China.
“Frustration has turned into ex-
asperation. This is a geopolitical
earthquake in the making and
the implications are huge.”

In a dismissive Silicon Valley, the SEC’s presence looms

Regulator’s interest in
the technology sector
has intensified recently
BY R ENAE M ERLE
After nearly two decades in San
Francisco, Jina Choi recently re-
ceived an invitation to speak at
one of Silicon Valley’s most popu-
lar gatherings, TechCrunch.
The September appearance by
the longtime head of the local
office of the Securities and Ex-
change Commission was a recog-
nition by the country’s growing
technology sector that Choi’s of-
fice had become ground zero for
some of the tech industry’s biggest
regulatory headaches.
At the time of her appearance,
the SEC had launched an investi-
gation into a dubious tweet by
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk
claiming that he had secured
funding to take the electric car
company private at $420 a share.
Seven months earlier, it had ac-
cused the upstart blood-testing
start-up Theranos of a breathtak-
ing scale of deception. Choi’s of-
fice had also fined the company
formerly known as Yahoo for fail-
ing to tell investors about a mas-
sive cyber-breach for two years,
the first time a company had been
punished for such conduct.
“Regulation is not necessarily
top of mind for a lot of these
disruptive entrepreneurial com-
panies,” Choi said in an interview.
So “the idea that they are kind of
looking to regulators . . . and
wanting to hear our views on
things I think is really important.”
For the SEC, the country’s top
financial regulator, Silicon Valley
poses a unique challenge. Most of
the companies are privately held
and thrive on a grow-at-any-cost,
break-it-now-fix-it-later culture.
And its leaders can sometimes
appear dismissive of the SEC, in-
cluding when Musk called it the
“Shortseller Enrichment Com-
mission” days after reaching a $20
million settlement. Even after the
SEC laid out evidence of massive
fraud at Silicon Valley darling
Theranos, some wondered what
had taken the agency so long.
There were signs, many uncov-
ered by the Wall Street Journal,
that the blood-testing company
was troubled, said Jay Ritter, a
finance professor at the Univer-
sity of Florida.
“A fraud like Theranos is good
to have every once in a while,” he
said. “It has reminded some inves-
tors that they need to do due
diligence. In retrospect, there
were all sorts of warning signs,
with or without SEC rules.”
The SEC acknowledges that it is
often outnumbered. Choi’s office
of 130 people is relatively small
and must follow companies not
just in San Francisco but also in
Portland, Seattle, Idaho, Montana
and Alaska.
“We’ve always approached it as,
we’re never going to have the re-
sources to cover everything. So a
Jina Choi, longtime head of the SEC’s regional office in San Francisco, speaks at the Silicon Valley
gathering TechCrunch. Her attendance was a recognition of the agency’s role in policing the industry.
lot of what we do in order to be
impactful is to make sure that
we’re covering what matters to
people,” Choi said.
The agency’s interest in Silicon
Valley has intensified in recent
years as money has poured in. The
area is home to more than 100 of
the world’s “unicorns,” private
firms valued at more than $1 bil-
lion that have largely refused, so
far, to go public. In 2016, then-SEC
Chair Mary Jo White warned that
these firms were missing out on
the market discipline that comes
with being accountable to public
shareholders as part of a “Silicon
Valley Initiative.”
The speech sent a message
“that the SEC is paying attention
and that companies need to be
complying,” said Michael Dicke,
who led the office’s enforcement
staff until 2014 and is a partner at
Fenwick & West.
But the pace of private money
pouring into Silicon Valley has
accelerated in recent years. Ven-
ture capital firms have invested
$84.3 billion in start-ups and oth-
STEVE JENNINGS/GETTY IMAGES
er private companies so far this
year — a record, according to data
from the National Venture Capital
Association and Pitchbook, a re-
search company.
Some privately held firms mis-
takenly think the SEC’s reach
doesn’t extend into their world,
Choi said. “Boards and stakehold-
ers, sometimes they’re a little sur-
prised that we’re there,” she said.
One consequence of the billions
flowing into Silicon Valley, Choi
said, is that the size and complexi-
ty of some of the frauds detected
by the SEC has also grown. When
she started in the SEC’s San Fran-
cisco office nearly two decades
ago, Choi said one of her first cases
involved a $6 million fraud.
“I thought it was a very impor-
tant case,” she said. But now,
“we’re talking nine-figure fraud.
We’re talking about the ability of
people in this [technology] space
to raise a lot of money very quickly
and then to move that money
around very quickly.”
Billions are also flooding into
another tech creation that has
rankled the SEC — cryptocurren-
cies. Concerned the market is
teeming with scams, the SEC has
repeatedly targeted initial coin of-
ferings, in which a company cre-
ates a cryptocurrency and sells it
to investors to raise money. Earli-
er this year, the SEC named its
first-ever senior adviser for digital
assets, Valerie Szczepanik, a 20-
year veteran of the agency.
But Silicon Valley backers of
cryptocurrencies, including An-
dreessen Horowitz and other
large, influential venture capital
firms, have questioned whether
the SEC’s enforcement-heavy
strategy is effective or should be
paired with policies to allow for
legitimate cryptocurrencies to
flourish, according to people fa-
miliar with the companies’ think-
ing. The firms met with the SEC in
March, and conversations have
continued, said these people, who
asked not to be named so they
could discuss private conversa-
tions.

Tesla earned a profit in the

scandals involving its high-pro-

company announced Wednesday.

and sedans. But it has scrambled
for years to prove it can survive in
a hotly competitive industry
packed with cheaper and more
traditional gas-powered cars.
“Sufficient Model 3 profitabili-

ness sustainable — something
many argued would be impossi-

letter to investors Wednesday.

Biden’s Fla. stumping highlights Democrats’ divide on age
jacksonville,
@PKCapitol fla. — The
PAUL KANE generational
divide among
Democrats was on
full display the past few days
across this critical battleground
state.
On Monday, nearing the end of
an avowedly liberal 23-minute
speech, Andrew Gillum received a
raucous ovation when he vowed
to defeat the National Rifle
Association and ban assault
weapons if Florida elected him
governor.
The 39-year-old African
American then introduced the
man he calls “our forever vice
president,” Joe Biden, who
bounded on stage, shed his suit
jacket and immediately
mentioned his more than four
decades in the Senate and White
House.
“I’m the guy who wrote that
bill, I beat the NRA back in 1994,”
the 75-year-old former vice
president said.
Biden was referring to the 1994
crime law that included the
original assault weapons ban,
leading to an explanation of how
the ban expired 10 years later.
Gillum was in grade school
when Biden began serving as
chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee in 1987. The
undergraduate students on hand
from the University of North
Florida were not yet born.
In almost every early 2020 poll,
Biden is well ahead in the quest
for the Democratic nomination, a
prize that has eluded him in two
previous bids. He is genuinely

GOP health-care claim
battles preexisting facts
BY F ELICIA S ONMEZ
AND J OHN W AGNER
President Trump celebrated
with House Republicans in the
White House Rose Garden last
year when they passed a bill to
undo the Affordable Care Act and
its protection for Americans with
preexisting medical conditions.
On Wednesday, less than two
weeks before the midterm elec-
tions, Trump falsely claimed that
ensuring coverage for those with
asthma, diabetes, pregnancy and
other conditions was a Republi-
can priority, rather than a Demo-
cratic one.
“Republicans will totally pro-
tect people with Pre-Existing Con-
ditions, Democrats will not! Vote
Republican,” Trump said Wednes-
day in a tweet.
The misleading statement
about the 2010 health-care law,
which passed with only Demo-
cratic votes, reflects a strategy that
Republicans are hoping will pay
off Nov. 6: Repeatedly tell voters
that the GOP supports one of the
ACA’s most popular provisions
and hope they ignore or forget
eight years of votes, rhetoric, legal
efforts and bureaucratic moves to
gut the law.
“Overall, this is something that
voters want to hear candidates
talk about,” Ashley Kirzinger, a

across the Midwest and in big,
diverse cities.
But there is an unmistakable
energy among Democrats for a
generational change, for new
faces — particularly women and
minorities. Kelly Schumer, 31,
stood outside an Orlando event
Tuesday holding her infant child,
hoping to meet Biden after he
wrapped up an appearance for
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and other
congressional candidates.

senior survey analyst at the Kaiser
Family Foundation, said of protec-
tions for those with preexisting
conditions. What casts uncertain-
ty on the election, she said, is that
voters “may not be making the
connection that repealing the
ACA would also mean an elimina-
tion of those protections.”
The Republican messaging
shift, which extends from the pres-
ident to Senate and House candi-
dates in competitive races across
the country, comes amid a grow-
ing air of uncertainty surrounding
next month’s election.
Several factors have been mov-
ing in Republicans’ favor in recent
weeks, including Trump’s rising
approval rating and a party base
newly energized by the battle over
Supreme Court Justice Brett M.
Kavanaugh.
Yet health care remains the Re-
publican Party’s Achilles’ heel, and
GOP candidates such as Arizona
Senate nominee Rep. Martha Mc-
Sally have found themselves fac-
ing tough questions about how
they reconcile their current sup-
port for coverage for preexisting
conditions with their longtime ef-
forts to repeal the health-care law.
McSally, who is facing Demo-
crat Kyrsten Sinema in one of the
country’s most closely watched
Senate races, is drawing attention
with a new ad in which she claims

think that there are people who
are kind of more of the moment,”
Schumer said.
Biden will decide later this year
or early next year about another
presidential bid. He has a cadre of
advisers waiting to form the top
ranks of a campaign, including
his former White House political
director, Greg Schultz, who
oversaw Barack Obama’s
presidential campaigns in Ohio,
and Steve Schale, who played a
similar role in Florida.
Schale traveled with Biden this
week, along with Mike Donilon,
another White House adviser who
now works at Biden’s institute at
the University of Delaware.
that she is “leading the fight to . . .
force insurance companies to cov-
er preexisting conditions” — even
though she not only voted for leg-
islation that would have weak-
ened such protections but rallied
other House Republicans.
McSally was peppered with
questions from reporters in Ari-
zona after a campaign event
Wednesday afternoon.
“It’s not true. It’s not true. Stop
parroting Democrat talking
points,” McSally told a journalist
who challenged her over previous
health-care votes, according to
video of one heated exchange
posted by the Capitol Hill newspa-
per Roll Call. “Health care is a
complex issue.”
Other Republicans in tight rac-
es, such as Wisconsin Gov. Scott
Walker and Sen. Dean Heller
(Nev.), are delivering a similar mes-
sage. On Wednesday afternoon,
Walker tweeted a link to a cam-
paign ad in which he tells viewers
that his wife has diabetes, his
brother has a heart condition and
his mother is a cancer survivor.
“Pre-existing conditions are
personal to me,” Walker said in the
tweet, pledging that those condi-
tions “always will be” covered as
long as he is governor.
In fact, Wisconsin is one of the
20 states that has filed a lawsuit
arguing the ACA with its protec-
tions for preexisting conditions is
unconstitutional, a legal fight that
the Trump administration has
backed.
Democrats — who have long
pummeled their opponents with
ads on the issue — are responding
JOE RAEDLE/GETTY IMAGES
Over two days crisscrossing
Florida, Biden heard repeated
chants of “Run, Joe, run” and “Joe
Biden 2020.” The trip also served
as an up-close look at the past and
future of his party. He hit the
campaign trail for Gillum and
Nelson, the 76-year-old moderate
seeking a fourth term and
running against Florida Gov. Rick
Scott (R).
Those two races are serving as
a beta test for the Democrats, and
also could go a long way toward
understanding Biden’s future in
the party.
President Trump’s victory in
2016 prompted endless focus on
how he ran up the margins in
with fury to the latest Republican
effort, and several on Wednesday
accused the president of gaslight-
ing voters.
“Good morning, America,” Sen-
ate Minority Leader Charles E.
Schumer (D-N.Y.) fired back at
Trump in a tweet, saying simply,
“This is a lie.”
A Washington Post-ABC News
poll earlier this month found that
Democrats have a 16-percentage-
point advantage among registered
voters on the question of who they
trust to handle health care overall.
Eighty-two percent of respon-
dents cited health care as either
“one of the single most important
issues” or “a very important issue”
in their vote for Congress this year.
And a recent Kaiser Family
Foundation survey showed that
Democrats are trusted over Re-
publicans by more than 2-to-1 to
continue preexisting condition
protections.
Yet complicating matters for
Republicans is that a substantial
portion of their party base contin-
ues to support a repeal of the ACA.
According to a Kaiser Family
Foundation survey of voters in
Florida and Nevada, a plurality of
registered Republicans in each of
the two battleground states cites
repeal of the law as the most im-
portant health-care issue in deter-
mining their vote for Congress.
Second on the list: protecting cov-
erage for preexisting conditions.
A recent analysis by the Wesley-
an Media Project found that be-
tween Sept. 18 and Oct. 15, nearly
55 percent of TV ads supporting
Democratic candidates focused

small, predominantly white
working-class towns across the
Midwest, but his victory in
Florida was just as surprising.
This diverse and growing state is
a much better microcosm of the
nation at large, the margin of
victory here being within 3
percentage points in five of the
past seven presidential contests.
Nelson is a Democratic model
of the past, a booming baritone
voice with a moderate
comportment and more appeal
than most Democrats in northern
portions of Florida.
Now comes Gillum, the mayor
of Tallahassee, who is the state’s
first black gubernatorial
candidate. If Gillum wins, he will
be without question the state’s
most liberal governor — and in
the process boost the argument
for younger, more liberal 2020
presidential aspirants.

captured the hearts of Sunshine
State progressives. He supports
the Medicare-for-all proposal
from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
On Monday, he reiterated his
push for the long-stalled bid to
amend the Constitution to
include the Equal Rights
Amendment.
Audrey Gibson, the Florida
state Senate Democratic leader,
mocked Republican ads calling
Gillum “radical” for such
positions. “If that makes me
radical, so be it,” Gibson said,
prompting “so be it” chants from
the Jacksonville crowd.
Many Democrats, in Florida
and in Washington, have
embraced the theory that if
Nelson wins, Gillum and his
energetic liberal army will be
what carries him to victory.
on health care — a messaging of-
fensive that Kirzinger said is indic-
ative of Democrats’ newfound
confidence on the issue.
“In previous cycles, most Demo-
cratic candidates didn’t want to
talk about health care. It wasn’t
seen as a winning issue,” she said.
The Republican Party’s messag-
es on the issue have been decided-
ly mixed.
In a tweet last week, Trump
wrote that “[a]ll Republicans sup-
port people with pre-existing con-
ditions, and if they don’t, they will
after I speak to them.”
“I am in total support,” he add-
ed. “Also, Democrats will destroy
your Medicare, and I will keep it
healthy and well!”
Yet Trump has repeatedly
promised to repeal the law, known
as Obamacare, and bemoaned the
failure of a Republican-led effort
to do so last year. As recently as
last week, Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he
wants to take another shot at re-
pealing the health-care law after
the midterm elections.
“If we had the votes to com-
pletely start over, we’d do it,” Mc-
Connell said in an interview with
Reuters, calling his party’s failure
to repeal the law “the one disap-
pointment of this Congress from a
Republican point of view.”
Meanwhile, under a Trump ad-
ministration rule finalized in Au-

That said, Gillum is battling
allegations of impropriety from
an FBI corruption investigation
into his city’s economic
development agency. He denies
any wrongdoing.
Should Gillum lose, and
particularly if Nelson wins,
Democratic donors and party
elders may fear backing a
younger, untested 2020
contender.
Most Florida Democrats
appeared to be open to Biden
running, but they also want to see
a large field. “I want to see Joe
Biden challenge Cory Booker,
challenge whoever comes up,”
said Ken Organes, 67, a retiree
who launched a first-ever
campaign, for a state House
district where Democrats have
regularly failed to field a
candidate. “There’s young
Democrats we don’t know about
that are going to come out.”
To his credit, Biden embraces
his stature and does not pretend
to be a newcomer. Despite a
presentation that appears
freewheeling, Biden’s stump
speech is remarkably disciplined.
He starts dozens of sentences
with “folks” and calls himself
“middle-class Joe.” But he always
tells the crowd he knows every
world leader, including “that
thug,” Russian President
Vladimir Putin, better than
anyone still in the game.
He is the only 2020 contender
who always — always — refers to
conversations with Chinese
President Xi Jinping, who once
asked Biden to define America.
“One word: Possibilities,”
Biden said Monday in
Jacksonville, then again Tuesday
in Orlando.

Senate Democrats fell one vote
short in a bid this month to over-
turn the rule, deriding the less
expensive policies as “junk” plans.
With polls showing that large
majorities of Americans favor
keeping protections for those with
preexisting conditions intact, Re-
publican candidates have increas-
ingly sought to assure voters that
they support those protections de-
spite a years-long GOP effort to
repeal the 2010 law, a partial 16-
day government shutdown in 2013
to try to defund it and dozens of
House votes to revamp or scrap
the law.
Republican strategist Michael
Steel, who was previously an ad-
viser to former House speaker
John A. Boehner, said that Sen.
John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) decisive
thumbs-down vote on repealing
the ACA last year “signaled the end
of that war and the beginning of a
new fight.”
In the current battle, he said,
Republican candidates should not
only focus on critiquing the
“Medicare-for-all” plan promoted
by some progressives but also con-
tinue to “make it absolutely clear”
that they support protections for
preexisting conditions.
“That’s the reason Republicans
have always said ‘repeal and re-
place,’ not just ‘repeal,’ ” Steel said.
“It’s always about figuring out
which portions of the ACA make
sense.”

THURSDAY Opinion
RUTH MARCUS MAX BOOT

What does The president

Trump have got something
against babies? right on the
INF Treaty
L
istening to President Trump re-
cently, the question arises: What
has he got against babies?

“I’m not a baby,” Trump felt
compelled to assure CBS News’s Lesley
Stahl — twice — during his “60 Minutes”
interview.
First, on the subject of Kim Jong Un,
when Stahl described his “cruel king-
dom of repression, gulags, starvation,”
asking, “This is a guy you love?”
Trump: “Sure. I know all these things.
I mean — I’m not a baby. I know these
things.”
Second, on the question of whether he
trusts his own White House staff. “I’m
not a baby,” Trump assured Stahl. “It’s a
tough business. . . . This is a vicious
place.”
Then, on Friday, the New York Times’s
Emily Cochrane asked Trump what evi-
dence he had “that these are hardened
criminals that are coming to the United
States.” Trump shot back, “Oh please.
Please. Don’t be a baby, okay?”
This is not a new development,
though there does seem to have been
I
have been critical of the Trump presiden-
cy because I think it has been a calamity
for America and the world. But just
because President Trump does some-
thing doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Even Trump
gets a few things right, and it’s incumbent on
his critics to acknowledge it when he does.
Case in point: Trump’s decision this week
to withdraw from the 1987 Intermediate-
range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. This was a
landmark arms-control agreement between
President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev that banned land-based
missiles with a range of 310 miles to
TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES 3,400 miles. It led to the destruction of
A bomb squad unit exits the Time Warner Building on Wednesday in New York. thousands of missiles, lowered tensions in
Europe and contributed to the end of the Cold
DANA MILBANK WASHINGTON SKETCH War.
But that was then. This is now.
Stop the mob, Mr. President Under Vladimir Putin, Russia has been
building an intermediate-range cruise mis-
sile, code-named the SSC-8 by NATO, that is in
violation of the treaty. This is not a figment of
Trump’s imagination, such as the presence of

something of a baby boom of late. Back
during the presidential campaign, Josh-
ua Green reported in “Devil’s Bargain,”
Trump exploded at then-campaign
chairman Paul Manafort over a New
York Times report that campaign aides
took to television to get Trump’s atten-
tion.
“You think you’ve gotta go on TV to
talk to me? You treat me like a baby!”
Trump said, in Green’s recounting. “Am I
like a baby to you? I sit there like a little
baby and watch TV and you talk to me?
Am I a f ---ing baby, Paul?”
More recently, Bob Woodward, in
“Fear,” recounts Trump’s similarly
phrased unhappiness with Rudolph
W. Giuliani when the former New York
mayor took to the airwaves in the
aftermath of the “Access Hollywood”
tape.
‘Strong’ is Trump’s
go-to praise;
nothing is weaker
or more helpless
than a baby.
Woodward: “Rudy, you’re a baby,”
Trump said loudly. “I’ve never seen a
worse defense of me in my life. They took
your diaper off right there. You’re like a
little baby that needed to be changed.
When are you going to be a man?”
Likewise, attacking Sen. Richard Blu-
menthal last year after the Connecticut
Democrat defended the investigation
into Russian collusion, Trump unfurled
his favorite insult. After reports that
Blumenthal misrepresented his military
service, Trump tweeted, he “cried like a
baby and begged for forgiveness like a
child.”
And then, of course, that blimp —
Trump in an inflated, diapered rendi-
tion, his babyhood made manifest. We
know the image rankled, even if he
managed to avoid it on his trip to
England in July. “I guess when they put
out blimps to make me feel unwelcome,
no reason for me to go to London,”
How fake news drives votes in Brazil
Trump told the Sun.
What’s this all about? We know
Trump has little evident interest in
W
hat hath Trump
wrought?
Rep. Greg Gianforte
(R-Mont.) last year plead-
ed guilty to assaulting a journalist.
President Trump last week celebrat-
ed the assault.
“Any guy that can do a body slam,
he’s my kind of — he’s my guy,”
Trump said to cheers.
CNN’s Jim Acosta said one man at
the rally then looked at him “and ran
his thumb across his throat.”
Wednesday morning, a pipe bomb
arrived at CNN’s offices in New York,
addressed to former CIA director
and current Trump critic John Bren-
nan. Other bombs went to at least
five others frequently villainized by
Trump: Hillary Clinton, Barack
Obama, former attorney general Eric
Holder, Rep. Maxine Waters and,
earlier this week, Democratic finan-
cier George Soros.
Trump appropriately denounced
“acts or threats of political violence
of any kind.” But it’s fair to ask: If a
person who assaults a journalist is
Trump’s “guy,” might not some un-
stable person think that, by sending
a pipe bomb to a news organization,
he, too, is being Trump’s guy?
Nobody but the perpetrator is re-
sponsible for this attack. And there
is plenty of regrettable behavior on
both sides. But one man has done
the most to create this climate,
whipping supporters to fear and
desperation with often violent rhet-
oric. And only one man can take us
back from the brink. Stop the mob,
Mr. President.
In the closing days of the 2018
campaign, Trump has revived what
worked in 2016, encouraging his
mostly white and mostly male sup-
porters to feel besieged by dark-
skinned people, immigrants, wom-
en, religious minorities and, of
course, the media.
Trump recently maligned all the
BY F ERNANDA S ANTOS
targets of Wednesday’s attack. Thirty-
six hours earlier, Trump fired up yet
more “Lock her up!” and “CNN
sucks!” chants. He roiled the crowd to
boo “low IQ” Waters. Trump spread
false conspiracy theories that Soros
funded the migrant caravan and anti-
Brett M. Kavanaugh protesters. After
Holder said “when they go low, we
kick them,” Trump threatened: “He’d
better be careful what he’s wishing
for.” Trump called Brennan “a total
lowlife” and a “very bad guy” who
“disgraced the country.”
This moment is particularly dan-
gerous because Trump has turned
partisan divisions into a proxy war
over race and gender, stoking back-
lash to the first black president and
the first woman to be a major party’s
presidential nominee. Those receiv-
ing the pipe bombs include three Af-
rican Americans, two women and a
Jew frequently targeted by anti-
Semites. These demographics figure
prominently among Trump’s favorite
targets at rallies, mostly women
(Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren,
Clinton), African Americans (Cory
Booker, Waters, Obama) and Jews
(Soros, Charles E. Schumer, Richard
Blumenthal, Dianne Feinstein).
Trump’s latest stump speech por-
trays these Democrats as violent,
lawless and inhuman, responsible
for “an assault” on the country, an
“angry left-wing mob” on a “ruthless
mission to . . . demolish and de-
stroy,” “corrupt power-hungry glo-
balists” who are “not caring about
our country” and “want to replace
freedom with socialism” and invite
people into the country who “carve
you up with a knife.” Democrats are
“openly encouraging millions of ille-
gal aliens to . . . overwhelm our na-
tion” and have “launched an assault
on the sovereignty of our country . . .
and the safety of every single Ameri-
can.”
Is it any wonder people might feel
birthdays, weddings and baptisms;
read news about new jobs, new homes;
desperate?
Clinton was wrong to say recently
that “civility can start again” only if
Democrats win. Also wrong: Hold-
er’s “kick them” remark, Waters’s
call to harass Cabinet officials, and
loudmouths who hound Ted Cruz
and others in restaurants. Violence
by the left, whether by antifa hooli-
gans or the shooting at a Republican
baseball practice, is as evil as vio-
lence by the right.
But one public figure’s rhetoric
has been more violent than all oth-
ers, and he has the biggest mega-
phone. He encouraged supporters to
“knock the crap out of” protesters
and offered to pay attackers’ legal
bills. He expressed his wish to punch
a heckler in the face. He urged police
not to “be too nice” to suspects. He
shared a doctored video of himself
attacking CNN in a wrestling match.
He suggested supporters could use
guns to stop Clinton judicial nomi-
nees and fantasized about Clinton’s
security detail being taken away.
Most recently, Trump hesitated to
criticize Saudi Arabia for Saudi op-
eratives’ killing of Post contributing
columnist Jamal Khashoggi as the
president keeps up his attacks on
journalists as enemies of the people.
This has an effect. A man was ar-
rested for threatening to shoot Bos-
ton Globe employees this summer,
calling the paper the “enemy of the
people.”
After the bombs were discovered
Wednesday, Trump offered a sooth-
ing message: “We have to unify. We
have to come together.”
Amen. But at Monday’s rally,
Trump ridiculed almost those exact
words, mocking Clinton’s campaign
for having “some stupid slogan like
‘stay together.’ ”
Actually, it was “Stronger Togeth-
er.” If only our president believed
that.
Twitter: @Milbank
The only responses I got were more
pro-Bolsonaro posts. One of them car-
“unknown Middle Easterners” among a cara-
van of Central American refugees. The Obama
administration discovered the Russian viola-
tion in 2014, and the United States has been
working unsuccessfully ever since to persuade
the Russians to come into compliance.
Meanwhile, China, which is not bound by
the INF Treaty, has been rapidly expanding
its intermediate-range rocket forces. It has
recently begun deployment of the DF-26
ballistic missile, which has been dubbed
both a “Guam killer” and a “carrier killer”
because it can effectively target both the
U.S. naval and air bases at Guam, and the
U.S. aircraft carriers that have been the
mainstay of American naval dominance
since 1942. The military balance of power is
shifting against the United States in the
western Pacific, in no small part because of
China’s missile buildup.
Because of the limits still imposed on the
United States by the INF Treaty, the United
States today can only respond with a relative-
ly small number of intermediate-range Toma-
hawk cruise missiles carried on vulnerable,
costly platforms such as Arleigh Burke-class
destroyers (cost: $1.8 billion). “Ground-
launched systems with an intermediate-
range in, for example, Guam, Japan and
Northern Australia, would provide planners
with a means to augment air and maritime
strike platforms with new land component
capabilities at a fraction of the cost,” argues
Eric Sayers of the Center for Strategic and
International Studies. China would have to
devote greater resources to missile defenses
rather than power projection, he argues, and
would find it harder to cripple the U.S. mili-
tary by striking a handful of major U.S. bases
in Asia. Land-based missiles could be de-
ployed in many locations, protecting against
a Pearl Harbor-like first strike and increasing
deterrence.
There is scant chance that China would join
the INF Treaty and voluntarily give up one of
its core military advantages. It might be
possible to renegotiate the treaty with Russia
to limit its sphere to Europe, or to negotiate a
new three-way treaty with Russia and China
limiting the number of intermediate-range
missiles but not banning them altogether. But
simply staying in the INF Treaty and making
futile protests about Russian violations
wouldn’t achieve anything. Declaring that the
United States is ready to walk away is a good
first step toward dealing with the security
challenges of today’s world, which are vastly
different from those of 1987. The United States
can now develop a new land-based intermedi-
ate-range ballistic missile to counter a grow-
ing Chinese threat — a successor to the

babies, including his own. Asked in a
2005 radio interview, when Melania
Trump was pregnant with his fifth child,
whether he would “actually change dia-
pers,” Trump was quick to disavow such
activities. “That’s not my thing,” he said.
“I’m really, like, a great father, but
certain things you do and certain things
you don’t. It’s just not for me.”
This is not just a manifestation of
Trump’s aversion to germs. Trump ex-
pressed equal disdain for the apparently
demeaning task of pushing his baby in a
stroller, recalling how his second wife,
Marla Maples, used to prod him to do so.
“Right, I’m gonna be walking down Fifth
Avenue with a baby in a carriage,” Trump
said. So taking care of babies is women’s
work, while being treated like a baby, or
acting like one, is, literally, infantilizing.
On one level, Trump’s deployment of,
and bristling at, “baby” as the ultimate
insult illustrates his aversion to weak-
ness or the appearance thereof. “Strong”
is Trump’s go-to praise; nothing is weak-
er or more helpless than a baby. He does
not want to appear either naive (for
example, about Kim’s ruthlessness) or
susceptible to being pushed around,
whether by his staff or a foreign leader.
But there is more going on here.
Trump’s quickness to express resent-
ment about such handling is reminis-
cent of teenagers seeking to assert inde-
pendence from parents. I’m not a baby.
You treat me like a baby. These erup-
tions sound more like a petulant fresh-
man home for fall break than a presi-
dent of the United States. And, like a
college student beginning the process of
separation, they betray a lingering anxi-
ety about unreadiness for the task at
hand.

I
was born during the military dicta-
torship in Brazil, but in 1989 I
became eligible to vote and cast my
first ballot in the first direct presi-
dential elections since the return of
democracy. In 1992, I joined tens of
thousands of demonstrators who took
to the streets to demand the ouster of
the president I had helped elect; he
eventually resigned, under a cloud of
corruption. In 1998, I moved to the
United States, leaving the Brazil of my
past frozen in memory and time.
But the Brazil of today feels eerily
familiar. Ahead of a presidential runoff
election on Sunday, Brazil is as frac-
tured and polarized as the United
States has been since Donald Trump
rode the waves of anxiety that he
helped create all the way to the White
House.
I’m a naturalized U.S. citizen. I’m also
a journalist, and it has been as a
journalist that I’ve experienced, ab-
sorbed and chronicled Trump’s United
States. I’ve kept an emotional distance,
in part because I knew that if things
didn’t turn out well here, I could always
go back to Brazil.
That doesn’t seem like a good escape
plan these days. The man poised to
become Brazil’s next president is a
retired army captain who has pledged
to fight violence with violence, a seven-
term congressman who chose to silence
a leftist legislator by saying she is too
ugly to be raped and praised the cruel
tactics of the military rulers. His name
is Jair Bolsonaro, and a lot of my
relatives are voting for him.
A couple of years ago, a cousin set up
a group for our family on WhatsApp, a
platform used by 66 percent of Brazil-
ians. That’s where I saw pictures of
and laughed at silly jokes. But as the
presidential election approached, mis-
leading, exaggerated and fake news, all
of it favoring Bolsonaro, took over the
feed.
There’s also plenty of fake news
favoring Bolsonaro’s rival, Fernando
Haddad. His Workers’ Party was in
power for 13 years, but it all ended with
the impeachment of President Dilma
Rousseff and the imprisonment of her
predecessor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
My godmother refers to Lula, a charis-
matic labor leader adored by his sup-
porters, as “the devil incarnate.” She
blames his party for all that’s going
wrong in Brazil: the nearly 28 million
who are unemployed and underem-
ployed as the country weathers an
economic crisis and rampant violence
— on average, seven people were killed
every hour in Brazil in 2017, according
to a recent analysis of crime statistics by
Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública,
a Brazilian nonprofit.
One day I decided to contest the
posts in my family’s WhatsApp group. I
started gently, careful not to get pulled
into a political argument. My goal
wasn’t necessarily to change anyone’s
minds and certainly not to end relation-
ships. I wanted to help the people I love
discern fact from fiction.
I shared an opinion article by a
respected Brazilian journalist who has
covered every election since the end of
the dictatorship. In it, she argues that
animosity from both extremes of the
political spectrum had quashed mean-
ingful political debate and blinded vot-
ers to the heavy social price of a
Bolsonaro win.
“Please read, reflect and comment,” I
wrote.
ried a message by the famous Brazilian
medium Chico Xavier, hailing Bolson-
aro as “a frank, sincere and loyal man”
who will be “attacked and criticized for
his temper and attitudes,” but will
restore “hope for the future of Brazil.”
“This is fake,” I wrote. Xavier, who
died in 2002, never authored it — and it
took me less than a minute on Google to
find that out.
I pressed on, asking questions such
as “Do you know the source of this
information?” or, “Do you trust this
source?” It was as if I were screaming
into the wind.
Last Sunday, I left the group. “I don’t
want to feel any more disappointed
than I already am,” I said in my farewell
note.
My father, who is visiting in Phoenix,
chastised me: “Like it or not, this is your
family.” I turned to him and asked what
I should have asked a long time ago:
“How could you support Bolsonaro?”
My father is a sensible man and a
voracious consumer of news; in my
memories of our family breakfasts, he
always appears with a newspaper in
front of him. Now, it’s his iPhone that he
carries to the table.
“My vote wasn’t for Bolsonaro. My
vote was against P.T.,” he said, using the
Workers’ Party initials in Portu-
guese. “I’m not proud I voted for Bol-
sonaro.”
“I hope he’s not crazy,” I told him.
“I hope he’ll move to the center,” he
said.
Hope for better days ahead for Brazil.
Right now, that’s the best my father and
I can do.

professor living in Phoenix.
Pershing II missiles destroyed under the INF
Treaty — while retrofitting the Tomahawk
cruise missile, already ubiquitous at sea, for
launchers on land. Hypersonic weapons
might be a promising new technology.
So why are so many well-respected
foreign-policy experts and American allies
aghast at the administration’s decision?
Trump has no one to blame but himself.
When it comes to international obligations,
he is the boy who cried wolf. Trump is a
unilateralist and nationalist who has never
seen an international obligation he liked. He
has walked away from the Trans-Pacific Part-
nership, the Paris climate accord, the Iran
nuclear deal, the U.N. Human Rights Council,
and the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for
Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The
administration is even exiting the Universal
Postal Union, a convention that has governed
international mail delivery since 1874.
Trump’s worst instincts are reinforced by
his national security adviser. John Bolton is a
lawyer, not a strategist, and he nurtures an
irrational hatred of international law, which
he sees as a threat to American sovereignty.
He even devoted his first speech as national
security adviser to trashing the International
Criminal Court, an obscure and ineffectual
boogeyman that has long obsessed him.
Every one of the administration’s decisions
to withdraw from international obligations
was a mistake — until now. But, given its track
record, it’s nearly impossible for the adminis-
tration to convince anyone that it made the
INF Treaty decision on the merits alone.
There is a valuable lesson here for Trump
and his aides in the unlikely event that they
are prepared to learn from their mistakes:
Stop making so many ridiculous, erroneous,
offensive arguments. Otherwise, when you
have a good case to make, no one will be
listening.

Gut check for the Saudi lobby
Future U.S. cooperation with the kingdom should hinge on full accountability for Mr. Khashoggi’s murder.
W
ASHINGTON NEEDS to have a thor-
ough debate about Saudi Arabia and
whether the bilateral relationship as it
now stands serves U.S. interests. That
raises a difficult question: Is it possible to have an
honest discussion when so many American experts
are, in one way or another, on the Saudi payroll?
Many countries spend heavily to influence Con-
gress or U.S. public opinion, but the Saudi operation
dwarfs most of them. In the decade after the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks, in which 15 of the 19 hijackers were
Saudi nationals, the regime spent more than
$100 million to rebuild its image here, according to
Ben Freeman of the Center for International Policy.
Last year alone it spent $27.3 million on lobbyists
and consultants, according to public records; more
than 200 people have registered as Saudi agents.
Prominent Washington think tanks, including
the Middle East Institute and the Center for
Strategic and International Studies, have accepted
millions in Saudi money; so have universities,
museums and other cultural organizations. U.S. fi-
nancial firms are brokering big deals for the Saudi
‘Take him
seriously’? Okay.
Mr. Trump’s middle-class tax cut,
a political stunt, would make
no sense even if it weren’t.
I
DEAS HAVE consequences, which is why we are
not just going to ignore President Trump’s pro-
posal for cutting the middle class’s taxes by
10 percent, on top of the tax cuts already deliv-
ered by the $1.2 trillion 2017 plan he and the Republi-
can Congress enacted. As is often the case with
Mr. Trump’s policy utterances, this one appears
improvised, blurted out to reporters in Nevada and
repeated amid a campaign rally in Texas. Yet he has
insisted on it, claiming Tuesday that “we’re putting in
a resolution probably this week,” notwithstanding
the fact that Congress is not in session. And in
keeping with his party’s general strategy of enabling
the president, House Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Kevin Brady (R-Tex.) issued a statement
claiming that “over the coming weeks” the GOP will
come up with actual legislation. “Take him seriously,”
added National Economic Council director Larry
Kudlow.
Okay: Taken seriously, this is a deeply irresponsible
idea. Before we explain why, however, we have to
admit that we have no clearer sense exactly what
Mr. Trump is talking about than he does. Ten percent
of what? Who counts as middle class? The Post’s Erica
Werner and Damian Paletta estimate that a 10 percent
cut in the income taxes of all households earning less
than $200,000 per year would cost $61 billion a year,
according to Internal Revenue Service data.
Defined as the middle fifth of the income distribu-
tion scale, the middle class does not need more
income tax cuts. According to a 2016 Congressional
Budget Office study (based on data compiled before
the 2017 tax law), households in that stratum received
about 14 percent of total before-tax income and paid
about 9 percent of federal taxes. An October 2017
report from the Pew Research Center reached conclu-
sions consistent with the CBO’s. Public-opinion data
show no clamor for tax cuts; for the past 15 years,
roughly half of Americans have told Gallup that they
pay either the right amount of taxes or too little.
A nuclear treaty to fix, not abandon
Walking away would lead to a new cycle of arms competition.
P
RESIDENT TRUMP is justified to question
the status quo with the Intermediate-range
Nuclear Forces Treaty, signed in 1987 between
the United States and the Soviet Union,
which eliminated an entire class of nuclear-armed
missiles in Europe with a range between 310 miles
and 3,400 miles. Under President Vladimir Putin,
Russia has developed and tested a ground-launched
cruise missile, designated the 9M729, in violation of
the treaty, according to State Department reports. An
impasse over the issue has existed since 2013. Russia
denies that it has violated the treaty, but some reports
say the new cruise missile is already deployed.
What’s the right response? “So we’re going to
terminate the agreement, and we’re going to pull
out,” Mr. Trump declared. Theoretically, if his threat
leads to a new negotiation and verifiable fix, he will
have accomplished something. Another possibility,
more worrisome, is that once the United States
abandons the treaty, Mr. Putin will feel uncon-
strained about building more such weapons. This

Members of Congress or journalists looking for
expert advice on Saudi Arabia might typically turn
to former ambassadors or former chiefs of the
Pentagon’s Central Command. But a number of
them are connected to those think tanks or financial
firms. According to Mr. Freeman, lobbyists made
nearly $400,000 in campaign contributions last
year to Senate and House members they contacted
on behalf of the Saudis; in 11 cases, the contribu-
tions were made on the same day as the contact.
One of those lobbyists is Norm Coleman, a former
Republican senator. He told The Post that “the
relationship with Saudi Arabia is critically impor-
tant, and its partnership in confronting the Iranian
threat is critical for U.S. security.” That’s an
oft-made and legitimate argument. But do those
who hear it take into account the fact that
Mr. Coleman is paid to represent Saudi rather than
U.S. interests?

Mr. Trump’s idea would be slightly less reckless if it
were true, as he says, that “we’re doing other things
which I don’t have to explain now, but it’ll be pretty
much of a net neutral.” There is zero reason to take
him seriously on that pledge, but even a paid-for
middle-class tax cut would still be unnecessary. It
would mean that Congress had slighted some other
priority for the sake of something that should not be a
priority at all. A partial exception might apply if

Mr. Putin was taunting the West for underestimating
Russian power. If the United States abandons the
treaty, Mr. Putin might claim the moral high ground,
too.
The INF Treaty came about after NATO agreed in
the late 1970s to deploy ground-based cruise and
ballistic missiles in Europe to counter Soviet mis-
siles. The “dual track” NATO decision meant deploy
and negotiate. The pressure was successful, over
time and despite protests. Soviet leader Mikhail
Gorbachev gave up the missiles, joining President
Ronald Reagan in a verifiable treaty. Both sides stood
down.

murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Four lobby-
ing firms and at least one think tank have cut their
ties with the Saudis. Most top U.S. executives
canceled their participation in a major investment
conference in Riyadh this week — including some
who have major Saudi investors or deals. There has
been almost no public dissent from a bipartisan
congressional chorus casting doubt on the credibili-
ty of the regime’s explanation of the Khashoggi
murder and calling for sanctions.
Over time, however, the Saudi lobby will seek to
reassert itself, just as it did after 9/11. That will
confront those former senators, ambassadors and
generals with a critical choice: Can they still argue
the Saudi case in good faith?
In the long run, a total break in relations would
not serve anyone’s interest. But future cooperation
ought to depend on whether there is full account-
ability for Mr. Khashoggi’s murder — including the
identification and punishment of every perpetrator.
By pushing for such accountability now, the Saudis’
Washington advocates would best serve the alliance

Rather, he’s attempting a cheap political trick near
the end of a midterm campaign in which middle-
class voters have not responded well to the 2017 tax

businesses. The truth is that the United States needs a
long-term plan for fiscal sustainability that would
probably require middle-class Americans to pay a bit
more for the government services they evidently
want and need. Telling the truth, though, is not

agreement, then we’re not going to be the only one to
adhere to it.”
National security adviser John Bolton correctly
observed that the U.S.-Russia treaty does not cover
China. He said on a visit to Mr. Putin in Moscow,
“This is a Cold War bilateral ballistic-missile-related
treaty — in a multipolar ballistic-missile world.” Does
Mr. Trump intend to seek a new agreement that
would encompass Asia? We doubt it. Meanwhile, a
new arms race would strain the U.S. budget, test the
patience of European allies and pose fresh hurdles to
the extension of the 2010 New START strategic arms
treaty, which deserves to be prolonged.
Supposedly, at the Helsinki summit, Mr. Trump
developed a rapport with Mr. Putin. Now’s the time to
use it. Instead of walking away, the president should
attempt to fix the INF Treaty’s flaws, verifiably, and
with Mr. Putin, perhaps at their next summit. That
would be smarter than repeating the last dangerous
cycle of the Cold War.

Driverless. Reckless, too.
As a former research engineer with the Federal
Highway Administration, I am aghast at the
ongoing and increasing use of the public as
unwitting and involuntary subjects for testing
autonomous vehicles (“Driverless Ford fleet on way
to D.C.,” Metro, Oct. 22).
The article stated: “There are no federal . . .
requirements that companies certify, via third
parties or on their own, that their self-driving
systems are safe.” Is this because the companies, in
their haste to keep up with each other, haven’t
taken the time to first test the cars under “live”
off-road conditions before jumping into the real
world?
It should be a no-brainer to first conduct such
off-road tests in a multitude of real-world scenarios,
especially ones that could be expected to be
problematic (including nighttime settings such as
one in which a driverless car struck and killed a
pedestrian this year in Arizona).
This looks to me like another instance of “public
risk, private gain.”
Lawrence D. Powers, Springfield
If leaves from a tree obscure most of a stop
sign, is the driverless car going to stop? If a stop
sign gets knocked down but all the neighbors stop
anyway because they know it’s a stop street, will
the driverless car stop, too? And if a ball rolls into
the street and there’s a child on the sidewalk, will
the driverless car anticipate that the child might
run out into the street? I see no benefit to D.C.
residents from letting driverless cars on our
streets. Why hasn’t there been a public hearing?
Leo Bosner, Washington
Saw something, said something
Regarding the Oct. 21 front-page article “A wit-
ness’s duty — and burden”:
I was moved reading about the choice Kenneth
Moore and his wife, Shameek Massey, made. With
little to gain and very much to lose, they decided to
report what they witnessed of a shooting. I was awed
by their bravery to stand up for their community
despite great risk to themselves and their family.
Their decision showed integrity and courage. I
consider them both heroes and thank them. They are
the role models our society needs to encourage us all
to do the right thing when faced with a moral
dilemma.

Crying over plant-based milk
Paul Shapiro’s Oct. 20 commentary, “Having a cow
over plant-based milk,” mischaracterized the posi-
tion of milk producers in urging the Food and Drug
Administration to enforce its own rules on the
proper naming of fake dairy foods and beverages.
Dairy producers don’t think consumers are “dim,”
nor do they think that consumers can’t tell an
almond from a cow. They do think consumers
shouldn’t be misled into thinking a plant-based
beverage with inferior nutritional content is equiva-
lent to real milk that comes from a cow. Almond
beverages, for example, have one-eighth as much
protein as dairy — calling them a form of “milk” is a
consumer deception. What the FDA is doing now is
asking a relevant and necessary public-health ques-
tion: What are the consequences to people’s diets if
they don’t realize that not all “milks” are nutritional-
ly equal?
FDA rules state that milk comes from an animal,
not a slurry of nuts, beans, emulsifiers, stabilizers
and whiteners. Enforcing that distinction isn’t pro-
tectionist — it’s in keeping with standards that
protect consumers from deceptive marketing.
Mr. Shapiro’s essay ignored both the nutrition facts
and the law.
James Mulhern, Arlington
The writer is president and chief executive of the
National Milk Producers Federation.
Paul Shapiro made a great point in his com-
mentary. The dairy industry is crying over spilled
soy milk not because it believes consumers are
actually being duped into thinking dairy-free milks
have cow’s milk in them. Rather, the industry is
upset that more consumers want products such
as almond milk because they recognize that cow’s
milk does a body good only if you’re a calf.
Brian Ottens, Greenbelt
A teachable moment
Regarding Susan Svrluga’s Oct. 22 Grade Point
column, “Ex-teacher banned for offering credit for
protest”:
The University of Southern Maine was wrong to
bar a recently retired professor, Susan Feiner, from
further teaching at the university and other public
colleges in Maine because she offered a one-credit
course based on protesting Brett M. Kavanaugh’s
nomination to the Supreme Court.
All students should know about demonstrating, a
basic right often criticized but nevertheless neces-
sary. Demonstrating is the opposite of apathy, which
got us in the mess we’re in now. In an age of
indifference among our younger citizens, participa-
tion in a well-run demonstration might inspire some
of them to get involved in the country’s future.
Restore Ms. Feiner to her former status and make
demonstrating a three-credit course.

Mr. McConnell’s win, America’s loss
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s
(R-Ky.) Oct. 18 Thursday Opinion essay, patting
himself on the back, was hard to swallow by anyone
except the most myopic Trump supporter [“I’m
proud of the Senate’s vote on Kavanaugh”].
Mr. McConnell’s brinkmanship allowed him to
push through, by the slimmest of margins, a candi-
date who was deemed unfit by 2,000 law professors,
and whose appointment to the Supreme Court was
opposed by a retired Supreme Court justice and an
eminent Jesuit magazine. But Mr. McConnell has
managed to politicize the court by changing Senate
rules so that his team always wins and he can hand a
high-profile victory to President Trump. More than
sad.

The hate crime
law fails
constitutional
muster
A O
fter showing off his swastika
tattoo, Randy Metcalf became
involved in a barroom brawl.
One of his opponents was an
African American, whom he and his
friends knocked unconscious. Metcalf
repeatedly kicked him in the head and,
according to a witness, said, “Die,
[n-word], die.” Metcalf was sentenced to
10 years in prison under the federal Hate
Crimes Prevention Act that was enacted
six years earlier, in 2009.
Soon, perhaps at its conference this
Friday, the Supreme Court will decide
whether to hear Metcalf ’s argument that
the provision of the HCPA that he was
convicted under is unconstitutional be-
cause none of the Constitution’s enumer-
ated powers authorized Congress to
enact it. The court should hear and
endorse this argument, lest the nation’s
dangerously attenuated commitment to
limited government become even more
so.
The HCPA creates criminal penalties
for, among other things, crimes commit-
ted “because of the actual or perceived
race . . . of any person.” Actual hatred is
not required. It is enough that the
defendant acted “because of ” some-
body’s race.
Congress, always eager to slip what
little remains of the Constitution’s leash
that limits Congress’s powers by enu-
merating them, frequently justifies do-
ing whatever it wants by saying that the
behavior it wants to proscribe or pre-
scribe affects interstate commerce and
therefore comes under Congress’s enu-
merated power to regulate this. But
although the commerce clause has been
construed to be so elastic that it is
almost entirely permissive, Congress,
perhaps manifesting a vestigial capacity
for embarrassment, looked elsewhere
for the power to prohibit racially moti-
vated crimes.
Embarrassingly, it pretended to act
under the 13th Amendment. Ratified in
1865, it says:
“Section 1. Neither slavery nor invol-
untary servitude, except as a punish-
ment for crime whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted, shall exist
within the United States, or any place
subject to their jurisdiction.
“Section 2. Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation.”
To justify enacting the HCPA, Con-
gress cited the power granted to it
144 years earlier to effectuate the end of
slavery, which shows no sign of return-
ing. Congress, surely with more audacity
than sincerity, said that the 13th Amend-
ment, written to erase slavery, authoriz-
es Congress to pursue any goal that it
asserts is in some way, however attenu-
ated, a response to a “relic” or “inci-
dents” or lingering reverberation of
slavery.
This, says an amicus brief on Metcalf ’s
behalf, reflects “a growing movement in
both academia and Congress to use the
13th Amendment to address a variety of
social ills thought to be in some way
traceable to, or aggravated by, slavery.”
Yet the amendment’s legal significance is
unusually clear and limited: It bans
slavery, period. So, in 1883, the Supreme
Court held that the amendment did not
empower Congress to prohibit race dis-
crimination in public accommodations.
Congress did that 81 years later, properly
acting under the commerce clause. If
now the court allows Congress to con-
strue — to flagrantly misconstrue, to its
advantage — a notably unambiguous
constitutional provision, the damage
done by this misguided judicial defer-
ence will go beyond injuries to federal-
ism. This dereliction of judicial duty will
devalue the written Constitution itself.
Hate crimes (usually vandalism, e.g.,
graffiti, or intimidation, e.g., verbal
abuse) are a tiny fraction of 1 percent of
all reported crimes. Almost all states
have such laws, and a federal law
duplicating them merely serves two
disreputable purposes. It allows Con-
gress to express theatrical indignation
about hate. And it exposes to double
jeopardy, under a federal law, defen-
dants who are acquitted in politically
charged state trials, especially ones in-
volving race or religion.
Even though states, unlike the federal
government, have police powers, states’
hate crime laws also are problematic on
policy grounds. They mandate enhanced
punishments for crimes committed as a
result of, or at least when accompanied
by, particular states of mind that the
government disapproves. The law holds
us responsible for controlling our minds,
which should control our conduct. The
law always has had, and should have, the
expressive function of stigmatizing par-
ticular kinds of conduct. But hate crime
laws treat certain actions as especially
reprehensible because the people com-
mitting them had odious (although not
illegal) frames of mind. Such laws bur-
den juries with the task of detecting an
expanding number of impermissible
motives for acts already criminalized.
And juries must distinguish causation (a
particular frame of mind causing an act)
from correlation (the person who com-
mitted the act happened to have this or
that mentality). So, even if the HCPA
were not unconstitutional, it would be
unwise.

Voter privacy screens at a polling station in Davenport, Iowa, on June 5.
Democracy itself is on the ballot
BY M ICHAEL W ALDMAN
T
he midterm elections have
been marred by controversy
over alleged voter suppres-
sion in Georgia, North Dako-
ta and elsewhere. Once again, parti-
sans want to make it harder for fellow
citizens to cast their ballots. It’s ugly.
But amid the dispiriting bid to
curb voting, something else is hap-
pening: For the first time in years,
citizens have responded with a robust
push to expand democratic rights.
Breakthrough ballot measures across
the country would expand voting
rights and improve representation. If
enacted, they could add up to a
democracy wave, regardless of which
party prevails.
Start with Florida, where the presi-
dential recount in 2000 launched the
recent voting wars. The state has an
extraordinarily harsh felony disen-
franchisement law, one that dates to
the Jim Crow era and bars citizens
with any kind of felony conviction
from voting for a lifetime. A drug-
possession conviction at 18 means a
60-year-old can’t cast a ballot. Today,
1.6 million otherwise eligible Floridi-
ans are disenfranchised, including
1 in 5 black people of voting age.
A measure on the ballot this No-
vember would restore rights for most
people with criminal convictions.
The proposal must win 60 percent of
the vote to pass, but recent polling
shows nearly three-fourths of voters
support it. Notably, the measure has
united religious communities and
skirted ideological splits. (The Koch-
backed organization Freedom Part-
ners gave a ringing endorsement.)
Formerly incarcerated people have
led the drive, going door to door to
drum up support.
Then there’s partisan gerryman-
dering. Politicians have manipulated
district lines since the country’s
founding, but computers have trans-
formed gerrymandering into a preci-

The big threat to Georgia’s GOP: More voters

B
y engaging in voter suppression,
Stacey Abrams’s opponents are
paying her the highest possible
compliment.
The former Democratic minority lead-
er of the state House of Representatives,
Yale Law School grad and the first African
American woman to be nominated by a
major party for governor is so close to
winning that Republicans seem to think
the only way to stop her is to keep
thousands from casting ballots.
And it happens that her GOP oppo-
nent, Brian Kemp, is the secretary of
state, the man overseeing this election.
He made clear to his supporters that the
thing worrying him most is . . . a lot of
people voting.
Kemp’s recent comments on the sub-
ject were recorded at a ticketed campaign
event and leaked to Rolling Stone. He
expressed alarm at the success of
Abrams’s campaign in generating “an
unprecedented number” of absentee bal-
lots, and that this was “something that
continues to concern us, especially if
everybody uses and exercises their right
to vote — which they absolutely can —
and mail those ballots in. We gotta have a
heavy turnout to offset that.”
Rarely have citizens received such a
direct lesson in the power of democracy.
Abrams, who has spearheaded efforts
over the years to mobilize new voters in a
state undergoing rapid demographic
changes, is not surprised. “I think they’re
shocked to find that this is a dead heat,”
Abrams told me in an interview. “If we
turn out unlikely voters, if we turn out
those who aren’t typically seen as part of
EZ
sion mechanism to blunt the voice of
voters. This year, the Supreme Court
declined to make a major constitu-
tional ruling to restrict extreme parti-
san gerrymandering. With Justice
Brett M. Kavanaugh replacing Antho-
ny M. Kennedy, hopes have dimmed
for a legal breakthrough at the court.
Here, too, while courts dither,
citizens have acted. The best reform
would have district lines drawn by a
nonpartisan, independent commis-
sion, as in Arizona and California. In
Michigan, despite a rebuff at first
from party leaders and labor unions,
activists are on track to garner
400,000 signatures for a ballot meas-
ure to create a nonpartisan panel to
draw future districts. Similar reforms
are on the ballot in Utah and Colora-
do. Missouri voters will decide on a
different but strong approach. Earlier
this year, Ohio voters backed a meas-
ure to block the legislature from
redistricting on a partisan basis.
This is all quite extraordinary.
Gerrymandering was an arcane topic
beloved only by political science
professors and tobacco-stained party
bosses. Last decade, similar reform
efforts failed in states including
Ohio and California. It speaks vol-
umes about our electoral breakdown
that ordinary citizens now seem to
understand how badly the system is
tilted.
Voters are also tackling one of the
biggest barriers to effective elections:
our ramshackle voter registration
system. Today voters can fall off the
rolls when they move or if there’s a
typo in their state’s records. Some
people never manage to sign up to
vote in the first place. We are alone
among major democracies in run-
ning our system this way.
At least 13 states, though, have
approved a version of automatic
voter registration that uses data sup-
plied at their departments of motor
vehicles or other agencies to securely
and accurately update registration
the midterm electorate, then I will win
this election.”
She criticized Kemp at a debate on
Tuesday for leaving 53,000 voter registra-
tion applications “pending,” in most cas-
es because of a law requiring that the
names on applications exactly match
those on other government documents.
“The reality is, voter suppression is not
simply about being told no,” Abrams said.
“It’s about being told it’s going to be hard
to cast a ballot.”
Abrams’s identity would make her
election historic. But her campaign also
matters because she represents the grow-
ing strength of a pragmatic style of
progressivism that could transform the
politics of states long cast as conservative
bastions.
Despite Kemp’s predictable efforts to
paint Abrams as radical, she is proud of
her record of working with Republicans
to secure incremental victories. In a
speech Sunday at a union hall here, she
ticked off some of them: “funding for
kinship care for grandparents who were
raising grandchildren,” “more money
into public transit than at any time in
30 years” and a new program for return-
ing veterans.
“I am a progressive with Georgia
values,” she said on her campaign bus,
which has traveled to some of the most
Republican counties in the state. Her
strategy is twofold: stepping up turnout
among Democratic voters who normally
skip midterms and cutting GOP margins
in their own areas from, say, 80-20 to
70-30 or less.
“People who want to make a good
living need good jobs, and that means you

information. This paradigm shift
would add tens of millions of people
to the rolls, reduce costs and bolster
election security. Next month, Ne-
vada and Michigan voters will decide
whether to adopt strong versions of
the plan.
Will elected officials heed this
shout from the electorate? Some
signs are positive. House Democrats
announced they will make democra-
cy reform the basis of their first piece
of legislation — the auspiciously
named H.R. 1 — should they win. It
would include national rules on auto-
matic voter registration, redistricting
reform and small-donor public fi-
nancing of campaigns to curb the role
of big money. Dozens of new mem-
bers may form a reform caucus akin
to the class of “Watergate babies” who
won in 1974 and transformed Con-
gress.
But don’t trust incumbents to act,
regardless of what they say. In the
weeks after the midterms, we need to
press lawmakers to put their votes
where their tweets are. We also need
to keep an eye out for legal challenges
against these measures from forces
that stand to lose from a fairer
system. Conservative activists could
try to convince the Supreme Court’s
new conservative majority that ballot
measures instituting electoral reform
are unconstitutional. If the Supreme
Court tries to choke off the voice of
the voters, it would demolish public
confidence and provoke a constitu-
tional crisis.
For now, all eyes are on election
night. This is not just an important
midterm cycle politically speaking;
it’s also a chance for democracy itself
to prevail at the ballot box.

Vote,” is president of the Brennan Center

have to work with business if you want to
be progressive,” she said. “And [when]
you live in a state where Republicans
control every mechanism of politics, then
you’ve got to be able to work with
everyone. And the ability to work with
everyone is sometimes cast as being
moderate. I consider it pragmatism. I
can’t win by myself.”
Like Democrats elsewhere, Abrams is
making health care a major theme, prom-
ising to embrace the Affordable Care
Act’s Medicaid expansion, which the
state has rejected up to now. This appeals
not only to low-income voters who would
finally get health insurance (“You are not
too poor in Georgia for us to serve you,”
she said at her rally) but also to rural
counties that have faced hospital clo-
sures.
The polls show a contest that’s virtual-
ly tied — and could go into a December
runoff if a Libertarian candidate pulls
enough votes to deprive either Abrams or
Kemp of a majority.
Today’s efforts to roll back black politi-
cal participation are often described as
the end of the Second Reconstruction
represented by the Civil Rights era. But
Abrams has an answer to the forces of
reaction. “We have to always be vigilant
about the retrenchment, but we’ve got to
be even more aggressive about the prog-
ress,” she said, “because the further
ahead we get, the harder it is to drag us
back.”
On Nov. 6, Georgia’s voters will decide
how big a leap they want their state to
take. It will help a lot if all of them have
the chance to cast ballots.

The Saudi

circles

f all the people who have
anguished responses to the
death of Jamal Khashoggi,
Prince Turki al-Faisal is a spe-
cial case: This pillar of the Saudi
establishment says in an interview that
he is “shocked” by the loss of his
longtime protégé but is standing be-
hind King Salman and the crown
prince during this period of crisis.
“People who think there’s going to be
any change in the succession are
wrong,” Turki said, rebutting specula-
tion that Mohammed bin Salman
might be replaced as crown prince
because of allegations that he author-
ized the events leading to the death of
Khashoggi, a Post contributing colum-
nist. Instead, he said, Saudis are more
supportive of MBS, as the crown prince
is known, because he’s under attack.
“The more criticism there is of the
crown prince, the more popular he is in
the kingdom,” Turki said. “If you took a
poll among Saudis today, you would
find that he is more popular than he
was two weeks ago. That’s because
Saudis feel that their leader is being
unfairly attacked in the foreign media.
That’s true of the royal family, as well.
They feel that this is an attack on Saudi
Arabia and the royal family, not just
Mohammed bin Salman.”
There’s no way to verify these claims
of popular support for MBS. But it’s
significant that this pro-palace view is
being expressed by Turki, who, as a
former intelligence chief and ambassa-
dor to London and Washington, speaks
for a branch of the royal family known
for its moderate views.
Turki’s comments came on the eve of
a statement by Turkish President Re-
cep Tayyip Erdogan that accused the
Saudis of committing a “gruesome
murder” but didn’t reveal any new
evidence that would confirm that
Riyadh had staged a premeditated
killing.
Turki talked with me Monday night
at his residence in McLean, Va., for
nearly 90 minutes. He described his
meeting there the night before with
one of Khashoggi’s former wives and
three of their children, to “convey
condolences” from the king and crown
prince. “We talked about old times
when we were in Washington and
London,” Turki said.
A similar show of condolence took
place in Riyadh, where MBS met
Tuesday with Salah, the oldest of
Khashoggi’s children, who for months
has been prevented from leaving the
kingdom as part of an apparent pres-
sure campaign against Khashoggi. A
Saudi video showed Salah shaking
hands with the man some blame for the
death of his father.
Turki said Khashoggi first came to
his attention in 1988, after the journal-
ist had made a reporting trip to
Afghanistan for the Riyadh-based Arab
News. Back then, “he never had links
with Saudi intelligence, even at a lower
level,” Turki said. But when Khashoggi
became an editor for Arab News in the
1990s, he and Turki met.
In later years, Turki became
Khashoggi’s benefactor, hiring him
twice as editor of Al-Watan, the family-
owned newspaper, and bringing him to
London and Washington as a media
adviser when he became ambassador.
“As a person, he was affable, with a
wonderful sense of humor, and he was
a fastidious journalist. He took his
profession seriously,” Turki said. Like
many of Khashoggi’s other friends,
Turki described a sense of optimism
that was sometimes unrealistic. “I
always told him, ‘Come on, Jamal, stop
joking. . . . I don’t believe that you are
that naive. Get off it!’ ”
The two men became estranged
about four years ago, Turki said, partly
because of differing views on the
Muslim Brotherhood. Turki said he
would admonish Khashoggi: “It’s a cult
that has used terrorist actions to
promote its views, under the guise of
liberalism. [Khashoggi] always an-
swered: ‘Yes, I’ve criticized them for
that, and called on them to rejuvenate.
They’re archaic, and they need to
change.’ ”
The Saudi royal family circles its
wagons in times of crisis, and the
conversation with Turki suggested that
this moment is no different. “Vilifica-
tion of Saudi Arabia is unjust and
unfair,” Turki insisted. He parried ques-
tions about whether MBS should
broaden his base now to stabilize the
kingdom and reboot his reform pro-
gram known as Vision 2030.
“The people of Saudi Arabia are
happy with the leadership because the
leadership has produced a vision of the
future and is working to implement
that vision,” Turki argued. “If they have
to revise or tweak or add to that vision,
all the better. Vision 2030 is not divine
revelation.”
Turki said when he heard confirma-
tion of Khashoggi’s death last weekend,
“it was shocking. Until the very last
minute, I was hoping he didn’t die.”
Sometimes in death, people achieve
goals that seemed impossible, naive
even, in life. Whatever happens with
MBS, Saudi Arabia will be different
because of Khashoggi’s murder.

Local candidates urge voters to go to polls early
EARLY VOTING FROM B1
Jealous, who has struggled to
gain momentum, is targeting “in-
frequent” voters — those who
voted in 2016 but not 2014 — and
counting on a record Democratic
turnout at the polls to boost his
standing. On Wednesday, he
greeted commuters at the
Mondawmin Metro station in
Baltimore with former U.S. sena-
tor Barbara A. Mikulski (D), May-
or Catherine E. Pugh (D), Attor-
ney General Brian E. Frosh (D)
and Del. Antonio L. Hayes (D-Bal-
timore).
“When we vote, we win,” Jeal-
ous said, noting that Democratic
turnout fell significantly in 2014.
“Larry Hogan only got into office
because we didn’t show up.”
Mikulski, 82, urged voters to
“make democracy work” and said
she was for “Ben and Ben,” refer-
ring to Jealous and U.S. Sen. Ben-
jamin L. Cardin (D-Md.). As Jeal-
ous turned toward her, Mikulski,
known for being blunt, said,
“Don’t shake my hand — let’s talk
to the voters.”
Wanda Pailin, a health-care
worker, asked Jealous about a
plan for police training and told
him that he could count on her
vote.
Damario Clifton, 18, said he
had just learned about the race
from his high school counselor
and planned to register during
early voting and look at the candi-
dates’ backgrounds. “I don’t want
to vote for the wrong person,” he
said.
Hogan, who leads Jealous in
polls by double digits, told about
150 people gathered in Gaithers-
burg on Tuesday night that he is
campaigning as if he is trailing by
20 points. He asked voters to
show up at the polls with the same
idea.
“I’m not taking anything for
granted,” he said.
In the crowd was Roy Fleischer,
a Democrat from Gaithersburg,
and Cynthia Wood, an independ-
ent from Laurel. Both backed Ho-
gan in 2014. Wood inched toward
the governor as he posed for pic-
tures before taking the stage.
“He just seems to be doing all
the right things,” she said, ex-
plaining why she planned to vote
for him again.
There are a number of down-
ballot contests that could help
drive turnout in Maryland, in-
cluding competitive races for
county executive in Montgomery
and Baltimore counties; in the
6th Congressional District, where
Democrat David Trone is taking
on Republican Amie Hoeber; and
in the 1st District, where Rep.
Andy Harris (R) is facing an ener-
getic challenge from Democrat
Jesse Colvin.

lawmakers were seeking the
Democratic nomination for coun-
ty executive — explaining that she
took the 2016 vote to limit elected
officials to three terms as a per-
sonal mandate.
To her, voters sent a clear mes-
sage: “You’ve had your time; let’s
hear from somebody else,” Flo-
reen said.
She still calls herself a “lifelong
Democrat” (she registered as an
independent at 18 and then
changed to the Democratic Party
so she could vote in closed pri-
maries). One of her ads shows her
cheek to cheek with Hillary Clin-
ton. In May, the county’s Demo-
cratic Central Committee feted
Floreen at its annual brunch,
showing a video titled “Nancy
Floreen: A Montgomery County
Legend.” She cringes over that
memory.
“I feel a little guilty; yeah, I do,”
Floreen said. “At the end of the
day, I really did decide that Mont-
gomery County’s future was more
important than party affiliation.”
Long record on the council
Floreen is a lawyer and former
planning board member who
once was an aide to Sen. Barbara

intercounty connector.
Floreen served two terms as
council president, presiding in
2016 when the council approved a
controversial 8.7 percent proper-
ty tax hike and cut negotiated pay
raises for its unionized employ-

was cited as a factor in that year’s

Floreen says she, too, wants to
add to the budget for school con-

of $500 million, although she
hasn’t specified where the money
would come from. She initially
opposed raising Montgomery’s
minimum wage — an effort cham-
pioned by Elrich — but backed the
bill after it after it was amended to
introduce the increases more
gradually.
And Floreen recently changed
her position on the county’s De-

ing wholesale alcohol sales

“There’s no reason for govern-

she said at a debate.

After declaring her intent to

Absentee ballots
lack reminder
to include stamps
BY F ENIT N IRAPPIL
An oversight by the D.C. Board
of Elections meant more than
10,000 absentee ballot envelopes
sent to voters did not include a
reminder to include stamps, creat-
ing confusion two weeks before
Election Day.
Those envelopes normally have
an “additional postage required”
box for stamps, but the language
was not included on the sample
envelope submitted to a printer
earlier this fall, said board spokes-
woman Rachel Coll.
Still, the U.S. Postal Service said
it delivers absentee ballots with
insufficient postage and charges
the local elections agency instead.
“The Postal Service is steadfast
in our commitment to support
democracy,” spokeswoman Kim
Frum said. “We will not deny a
voter their right to vote by delay-
ing a time-sensitive ballot because
of insufficient postage.”
But several commenters on the
local D.C. POPville blog, which
first raised the stamp issue, said
absentee ballots without postage
had been returned to them.
Frum said she wasn’t aware of
such cases. The Postal Service has
been delivering unstamped ab-
sentee ballots to the D.C. Board of
Elections, according to Coll.
If voters do have unstamped
absentee ballots returned, they
can mail them again with the cor-
rect postage — a single Forever
stamp — or drop them off at the
Board of Elections offices at 1015
Half St. SE or at their voting pre-
cinct on Election Day.
Elections officials warned that
including unnecessary materials
in their absentee ballot en-
velope, such as the voter guide or
proof of identification, may re-
quire more stamps.
The agency cannot reprint new
envelopes for future absentee bal-
lot requests before Election Day,
Coll said. The Board of Elections
website leads with an image re-
minding people to affix a stamp to
absentee ballots.
Council member Charles Allen
(D-Ward 6), who leads a commit-
tee that oversees the Board of Elec-
tions, says the D.C. government
should prepay absentee ballot en-
velopes in the future.
“I’ll look to fund it in the budget
for future elections — no need to
overthink this or leave in place a
barrier to voting,” Allen said in a
statement.
In Virginia, elections officials
found that college students strug-
gled to vote absentee because they
didn’t know where to buy stamps,
WTOP reported.
fenit.nirappil@washpost.com
The county’s labor unions, in
contrast, strongly endorsed El-
rich, citing his commitment to
improving conditions for work-
ers. Floreen said she reached out
to those labor groups after she
announced her candidacy, telling
them that she believes they could
work together.
“I already called them all up
and said, ‘Do not be afraid,’ ” Flo-
reen said in August. “I’m not go-
ing to try to talk them out of their
positions. But at the end of the
day, I will be successful. And I
want them to know, it’s not about
me versus them.”
Gino Renne, president of the
United Food and Commercial
Workers Local 1994 MCGEO,
which represents thousands of
county workers, said he recalled
receiving a voice mail from Flo-
reen but didn’t return her call.
He said he’s never found Flo-
reen particularly responsive to
issues the union has brought for-
ward about government ineffi-
ciencies and bad management.
Instead, Renne said, she has prof-
fered ideas that could hurt collec-
tive bargaining, such as a 2016
measure that would have
strengthened the county’s posi-
tion when negotiating with
unions.
“She keeps trying to assure us
that if she wins, everything will be
fine and we’ll be good friends,”
Renne said. “If it’s like the last 16
years of her being on the County
Council, it’s going to be a rocky

This year’s $1,000 prize will be
awarded Thursday, shared by
Lydia Francis and Xavier
Adomatis.
Clement said she hopes her
son’s namesake prize will stress to
college students that they
shouldn’t think of the world they
study as something separate from
the world they live in.
“Students get insulated; they
get fishbowled,” she said. “They
believe that their education is
supposed to be about mastering
disciplines and academic codes.”
She favors a different
approach. “There’s this exciting
prospect that we could get
students to turn their education
and their gathering intellectual
strength onto their environment,”
Clement said. “It allows them to
see that history isn’t at a remove.
It’s not about something in a
textbook. History is about
something you’re immersed in.”

Newsham on Wednesday said law
enforcement officials think there
were at least two more people
involved in the shooting.
Makiyah’s mother, Donnetta
Wilson, said Wednesday morning
that she had gotten a call from
police to come to the homicide
unit’s office.
“It’s a relief when they do get
somebody else off the street,” Wil-
son said. “But the whole situation
is just so frustrating.”
“I miss my child,” she added.
“It’s a sad moment because my
daughter is never coming back.”
On the day her daughter was
shot, Wilson held her child and
cried, saying again and again,
“Please don’t let my baby die.”
Makiyah later died at a hospital.
Newsham called the shooting
brazen.
A preliminary hearing for
Thomas and Michals was sched-
uled for Thursday in D.C. Superior
to fund the bill, delayed it an addi-
tional four years.
“It’s an improvement, but we
want to monitor the unintended
consequences,” said council mem-
ber Deni Taveras (D-District 2),
who voted for the bill but said she
has reservations about its cost and
wants to ensure that it benefits all
residents, including those in the
poorest parts of the county.
State Del. Joseline A. Peña-Mel-
nyk (D-Prince George’s), who
spoke in support of the public
finance bill, said the legislation
“It’s about allowing
people to run on ideas ...
not dialing for dollars,

“makes it easier for people of color
and for women” to run for office.
Depending on how many candi-
dates qualify for the voluntary
program, it is expected to cost
between $3.7 million and $12.1
million per election cycle, and
would probably be on the lower
end of that spectrum, officials
said. Council members approved
several amendments intended to
guard against abuse of the pro-
gram, including clarifying that
candidates’ loans cannot be
matched by taxpayer dollars and
barring candidates who failed to
submit campaign finance reports
in the previous four years from
participating.
During the sometimes tense
meeting, council members ex-
pressed frustration with how the
process to arrive at a vote had
played out.

Officials have said the incident
was part of a turf war between
rival crews in the Wellington Park
and Clay Terrace neighborhoods.
One of the groups bought a stolen
car to use in the incident and then
recruited gunmen, authorities
said in court papers.
According to court documents,
it is not clear what started the
particular argument between the
crews. After Makiyah’s death, po-
lice said an unnamed informant
told them one of the men involved
in the fatal shooting of the girl
said: “They didn’t even see her.
They didn’t mean to shoot her.”
Newsham on Wednesday
shared a message for others in-
volved in Makiyah’s death: “Soon-
er or later, we are going to come
and get you.”
“We’re not going to tolerate this
in our community,” he added. “We’re
not going to rest in this case until we
have everyone who is responsible.”

In “The Irony of Capital
Development: A Critical History
of the Origins of Meridian Hill
Park from the Perspective of
Washington Residents,” Lydia
Francis highlights a group of
people often lost in the reverie
over one of the city’s handsomest
green spaces.
In the late 19th and early 20th
centuries, the block that became
Meridian Hill Park was full of
modest dwellings. African
Americans, including some who
had been emancipated from
slavery, chose the neighborhood
because it was inexpensive —
mainly wooden two-story rental
houses and tenements — and
close to downtown jobs.

Makiyah Wilson, 10, was
fatally shot in July in Northeast
Washington. Her 18-year-old
sister was shot but survived.
A reward of $45,000 is being
offered for information in the
case.
Makiyah, described as a bright
child who loved art and puzzles,
stood what was in the bill.
“I would not clap for that vote at
all,” Glaros said after the bill
passed and applause broke out
among a few advocates. She voted
no, along with Davis, Vice Chair
Todd M. Turner (D-District 4) and
Andrea C. Harrison (D-District 5).
In an interview Wednesday,
Glaros said the addition of so
many amendments “really begs
the question of whether this legis-
lation was ready for passage.”

Though there was a housing
shortage — a “house famine,” in
the memorable words of activist
Charles Weller — supporters of
the City Beautiful movement
were willing to sacrifice the
neighborhood for a European-
style park. Eviction notices went
out in June 1912.
Writes Francis: “As is often the
case in Washington history, lofty
ambition for the nation did not
match up with reality of local
residents in the backyard of their
own democratic governance.”
Clement said that when her
son was young, adults were his
guides around Washington. As he
grew older and began exploring
on his own, he could share his
experiences with them.
“He was getting to know parts
of D.C. that I didn’t know,”
Clement said. “I had access to
another set of eyes on the city. If
you love the city, there’s nothing
more fascinating than listening
or reading about it through the
sensibility of someone else.”

Six months after Julian’s death,
an envelope came in the mail

said of Julian’s acceptance letter.

Wilson said. “It’s overwhelming.”
Makiyah’s death stirred out-
rage, with city leaders and area
residents demanding a stop to the
rash of violence hitting the Dis-

Harper worried that her son’s
school might feel emboldened to
further tighten its restrictions on
the teenager. What if his class-
mates were to find out his sex at
birth? What if, two years from
now, he were forced to use his sex
at birth on his driver’s license?
She thought about the transgen-
der children she knows who have
been hospitalized for severe men-
tal health problems. Would her
son be next?
Transgender adolescents at-
tempt suicide at a much higher
rate than young people whose
identity matches the sex on their
birth certificates, according to a
study in the September issue of
Pediatrics from the American
Academy of Pediatrics. Transgen-
der male teens are especially vul-
nerable — 55 percent reported at
least one suicide attempt, com-
pared with 30 percent of trans-
gender female youth and 42 per-
cent of young people who are
non-binary, identifying as neither
male or female.
Calls to the crisis hotline Trans
Lifeline more than doubled in the
24 hours after the news. Trans
Lifeline’s interim executive direc-
tor, Sam Ames, said it was “partic-
ularly sickening” that the poten-
tial impact of the Trump adminis-
tration guidance “falls especially
heavily on our youth, who are
often isolated and deprived of the
autonomy that some of the older
members of our community
have.”
The mother of a transgender
teenager in New Hampshire said
her daughter had already en-
dured too much to suffer such a
setback.
“I am overwhelmingly con-
cerned that if somehow all of this
goes away, and Skylar is forced to
have male documents, and lose
her legal identity as female, my
child will die,” said Jennifer Eliza-
beth, who asked only to be identi-
fied by her first and middle name
out of safety concerns. “She al-
ready deals with so much, and
this would be too much.”
Cori Lathan’s 12-year-old
daughter already suffers from

she had seen references to the

was thinking about changing her

certificate, to “make sure that we
have everything backed up.”
Her daughter said she wasn’t
too worried about it, “because I’m
still going to be who I am,” Lathan
recalled. “She’s more concerned
about making it through middle

But the mother worried about
her daughter’s social anxiety and
began wondering whether she
should, for example, consider
home schooling. “It’s such a
punch to the gut,” Lathan said. “I
knew there was a long way to go
but . . . it’s just horrifying to think
that we have to go backward.”
Amy Bonnett, a 51-year-old
mother of a 16-year-old transgen-
der boy in Scottsdale, Ariz., wor-
ried that changes in the federal
protections could prevent her son
from getting medical care or in-
surance, or could embolden a
future employer to decide not to
hire him, especially in a more
conservative state like Arizona.
“My worry would be that this is
just the start of it,” Bonnett said.
Heidi Miracle, a 49-year-old
biostatistician in a suburb of At-
lanta, has doubled down re-
searching states with better anti-
discrimination policies around
jobs, health insurance, housing
and bathroom use. Her transgen-
der teenage daughter is currently
applying for college, and Miracle
feels that staying in Georgia
would be too much of a risk for
her, especially if the Trump ad-
ministration follows through
with this shift in policy.
“I do fear choosing someplace
and finding these new rules filter-
ing down to colleges and then
finding out there’s no place safe
for her to go,” Miracle said.
The unknowns around the
Trump administration proposal
have left parents like Sarah Wat-
son, a Bethesda mother of a non-
binary teenager, wondering what
might come next.
“We’ve been very purposeful
and worked really hard daily to
affirm our child, to make sure our
child is happy and safe and alive,”
Watson said. “But no matter how
hard we work, I feel there’s more
being undone at a higher level
that we can’t control, and we can’t

THERESA VARGAS
Hoping for support for transgender community
VARGAS FROM B1
anatomy at birth would cause
her phone to start ringing and
not stop. She did not know that
she would be asked to speak
again and again about why she
and other transgender women
and men deserve to exist and live
free of fear.
In the days since the Times
story ran, Ruby has been a
prominent voice in the nation’s
capital on the issue, standing in
front of TV cameras, behind
lecterns and amid a crowd that
gathered in front of the White
House and waved signs that read
“Enough” and “We Will Not be
Erased.”
But to feel the full weight of
her words, and to understand
why we should be listening to
them now, it is important to
know what she has endured
before this moment — and it is
more than most. That brutal
beating that left her bleeding and
broken on her couch was just one
test of her strength among many.
“To every transgender person
who is sitting at home doubting
about their future,” Ruby, 48, said
at one recent news conference, “I
am standing here to guarantee
that it will be okay.”
Without knowing Ruby’s story,
that might seem a simple
message. But for those who know
her and what she has been
through, it is this: a powerful
reassurance from someone who
understands survival.
“We’ve been through this
before,” Ruby told me when I
spoke to her this week about the
possibility of President Trump
leaving transgender people
unrecognized and unprotected.
“We will get through it.”
She sounded upbeat,
energized even. She said that the
news has stirred fears and even
panic, but it has also brought
people together and shown the
transgender community just how
many people support them.
“There are some wonderful
people who have assured us that
we’re not alone,” she said. “Today,
more than ever, I saw allies.”
If Trump intended to take an
eraser to the transgender
community, he might have
accidentally picked up a
highlighter instead.

administration’s plans have

CLERGY FROM B1
ney general has announced his
intention to begin one. The Justice
Department announced last week
that it will look into the Catholic
Church in Pennsylvania. While
other countries have had nation-
wide civil investigations into
Catholic clergy abuse, this year
has seen the most extensive in-
volvement by national or state-
wide law enforcement looking
into the church in the United
States.
Many Catholics see the civil in-
vestigations as welcome and long
overdue after learning of
coverups, but others — including
some leaders, such as Washing-
ton’s Cardinal Donald Wuerl —
have in recent weeks described the
attention on the church as gener-
ally unfair and biased, and they
emphasize that most reports of
abuse occurred decades ago. Pope
Francis accepted Wuerl’s resigna-
tion this month amid criticism of
the cardinal’s handling of abuse
cases while he was bishop in the
Pittsburgh Diocese, although he
remains in place until the pope
names his replacement.
Virginia has two Catholic dio-
ceses — one in Richmond and one
in Arlington. In a joint statement,
the dioceses said they are cooper-
ating and hope the process “will
bring healing for all victims and
confirm our commitment to ac-
countability and justice.”

know that such abuse is unforget-

have called for donations to be
made to organizations that
support the transgender
community. And leaders such as
Ruby who have long spoken up
and faced threats for it are more
determined than ever to be
heard.
“To me, silence equals death,”
she said. “And if I’m going to die,
I’d rather die fighting for my
existence.”
That is after all what she has
been doing since she was a
teenager.
She was a teenager and named
Vladimir when she arrived alone
in Washington from El Salvador.
Her father sent her away, fearing
an effeminate boy would get
killed there. As she tells it, she
worked as a live-in maid with a
family but ran away after an
attempted rape. She later made a
living as a sex worker. She had
been living openly as a woman
for more than a decade when the
assault occurred at the hands of a
man she had dated but refused to
move in with.
Afterward, she said, she felt
“destroyed” and “empty.” She quit
her job as an outreach worker at
the Whitman-Walker clinic and,

Ginsburg enthralls huge crowd, calls for bipartisanship and collegiality
BY A NN E . M ARIMOW
Supreme Court Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg blamed the polar-
ization of the nation’s judicial con-
firmation process on a lack of bi-
partisanship and collegiality in
Congress during a public appear-
ance Wednesday in Washington.
She highlighted the philosophy
and approach of her former col-
league, retired justice Sandra Day
O’Connor, who Ginsburg said put
“country above party and self-in-
terest” and “worked collaborative-
ly to solve problems.”
Collegiality, Ginsburg said,
“means understanding the insti-
tution you work for is more impor-
tant than the egos of the individu-
als.”
Ginsburg’s remarks came dur-
ing a discussion Wednesday night
at the federal courthouse in the

EUGENE PETERSON, 85
His plain-spoken Bible
translation sold millions
BY M ATT S CHUDEL
The Rev. Eugene Peterson, a
Presbyterian minister, biblical
scholar and author whose writ-
ings have shaped the thinking of
pastors and church people and
whose colloquial translation of
the Bible, “The Message,” has sold
millions of copies, died Oct. 22 at
his home in Lakeside, Mont. He
was 85.
The cause was congestive heart
failure, his son Eric Peterson said.
Rev. Peterson never led a

pronouncements from the pulpit,
yet he quietly became one of the

With a gift for finely turned
phrases that could almost be
called proverbs, Rev. Peterson
wrote several books that are con-
sidered classics of the pastoral
canon, including “A Long Obedi-
ence in the Same Direction”
(1980). In that book, which has

announcement that she is with-
drawing from public life because
she suffers from dementia.
The appearance was a home-
coming of sorts for Ginsburg to the
court where she served for more
than a dozen years before her 1993
elevation to the Supreme Court.
At the event, Ginsburg was in-
terviewed by Judge David S. Tatel,
who took her spot on the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Cir-
cuit after President Bill Clinton
nominated her to the high court.
Ginsburg did not mention by
name the Supreme Court’s newest
justice and a former member of the
D.C. appeals court, Brett M. Ka-
vanaugh. But she alluded to the bit-
ter process that ended this month
with his confirmation by one of the
narrowest margins in history. Ka-
vanaugh had the support of only
one Democratic senator.
In contrast, Ginsburg noted
myself to the frustrations and
failures of loving, daring to be-
lieve that failing in love is better
than succeeding in pride.”
Rev. Peterson spent nearly
three decades leading a Presby-
terian church in Bel Air, Md.,
where he sought ways to make
the lessons of the Bible come alive
for his parishioners.
“I had a congregation of people
who didn’t read books,” he told
the On Being blog in 2016. “And
so I started translating the Bible
in their language, not knowing
what I was doing. And suddenly,
they started paying attention to
me in a way they never did
before.”
In 1993, he published a transla-
tion of the New Testament that
was the first entry in his “The
Message” series. The books,
which Rev. Peterson translated
from Greek and Hebrew, were
written in a breezy, updated style
with psychological insights that
made the stories of the Bible
almost shockingly modern.
Instead of the traditional
opening of “Our father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name,”
Rev. Peterson’s version of the
Lord’s Prayer begins, “Our father
in heaven, reveal who you are. Set
the world right; do what’s best —
as above, so below.”
The King James version of a
passage from the Gospel of John
begins “And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us.” In
“The Message,” it reads: “The
Word became flesh and blood,
and moved into the neighbor-
hood. We saw the glory with our
own eyes.”
Over the past 25 years, the
various “Message” translations
have sold, according to Rev. Pe-
terson’s literary agency, more
than 20 million copies. His books
have been popular with Chris-
tians of different traditions, from
Catholics to Southern Baptists to
Jones alleges that the descrip-
tion of the shooter was a heavyset
man with dreadlocks, which
matched Ford’s description that
day, but not Colson’s. He also
asserted that when Colson ar-
rived on the scene, he raised his
badge in the air and identified
himself as an officer, meaning
there is no reason he should have
been mistaken for the shooter.
“The only common denomina-
tor that Jacai Colson had [with
Ford] is that he was black,” Jones
said. “Sadly, evidence will show
Mr. Ford was correct when he
believed a black man would be
killed by police,” he added.
A grand jury in July 2016
cleared Officer Taylor Krauss,
who shot Colson, in his col-
league’s death.
On Wednesday, jurors in
Ford’s case were shown footage
taken from one of the brothers’
cellphones and from surveillance
cameras at the police station.
Much of the cellphone video, shot
from inside a red car, is difficult
to decipher.
In the video, an individual is
seen in the middle of a residential
neighborhood screaming obscen-
ities. The video also picks up the
sound of nearly two dozen shots,
but it is not always clear who is
shooting or in what direction.

“He approached scripture with

mudic approach, by going back to

Among those in the courtroom
were more than 20 federal judges,
including the D.C. Circuit’s Chief
Judge Merrick Garland, whose
nomination to the Supreme Court
by President Barack Obama was

Ginsburg’s status as the “Noto-
rious R.B.G.” has been solidified by
a recent documentary about her
life and upcoming feature film
starring Felicity Jones as “Ruth.”
She was escorted to her seat
Wednesday night by her personal

Ginsburg about the “art of judg-

“He’s a poet and a scholar, and
he’s brought the text back to the

magazine in 2001.
Rev. Peterson, who also pub-
lished poetry, originally set out to
be a scholar of ancient languages
and Bible history, which he
taught for several years at a
seminary.
“But the thing that made it
possible for me to do ‘The Mes-
sage’ was being a pastor: preach-
ing, teaching, praying, listening
to people in hospitals, family
rooms,” he told the journal Im-
age, from his alma mater, Seattle
Pacific University. “I was hearing

Ginsburg, who is 85, maintains
a busy schedule of public lectures
and events that included stops
this summer in Israel and Italy,
according to the website SCOTUS-
Map that tracks the justices’ ap-
pearances. The outspoken senior
justice of the court’s liberal wing
has at times drawn criticism for
being too loose with her opinions.
Tatel asked Ginsburg on
Wednesday about her dissent in
the Supreme Court’s decision in
Shelby County v. Holder, in which
she predicted the return of voter
suppression.
The ruling freed certain states
with a history of discrimination
from a Voting Rights Act require-
ment that they receive federal ap-
proval before changing voting
rules.
“Sadly, what I predicted,” Gins-
burg said, happened “almost im-
mediately.” States quickly enacted
spond conversationally out of the
scriptures. It’s both art and a
craft. I learned the craft academi-
cally. I learned the art by being a
pastor.”
Eugene Hoiland Peterson was
born Nov. 6, 1932, in East Stan-
wood, Wash., and grew up in
Kalispell, Mont. His father was a
butcher and grocer, his mother
an Assemblies of God Pentecostal
pastor.
“We moved across town when I
was about maybe 10 years old,” he
told On Being. “I had a Bible that
I’d purchased with my own mon-
ey. And I started reading it be-
cause I had no friends.”
He graduated in 1954 from
Seattle Pacific and then enrolled
at what is now New York Theolog-
ical Seminary, where he received
a master’s degree. He began to see
beyond the conservative religious
traditions of his youth and joined
the Presbyterian Church, where
he was assigned to coach a youth
basketball team, which he called
the “lucky break” that changed
his career path.
He later received a master’s
degree in Semitic languages from
Johns Hopkins University but
concluded that “the church is a
lot more interesting than the
classroom.” In 1963, he became
founding pastor of Christ Our
King Presbyterian Church in Bel
Air. He left the ministry in 1991
and later taught at Regent Col-
lege in Vancouver, B.C., before
retiring to Montana.
While serving at the church
and beginning to write his books,
Rev. Peterson saw the ministry
almost as a form of literature.
“The scriptures are given to us
in the shape of a story,” he told the
Mars Hill Review in 1995.
“Words, language is the way in
which we reveal ourselves to one
another. It’s the primary means of
deepening and continuing inti-
macy.”
He had a deep knowledge of
literature and often invoked the
novelists Charles Dickens and
George Eliot and the poets Emily
Dickinson, Denise Levertov and
W.H. Auden.
“At least half of the Bible is
written in poetry,” he told the
journal Image. “Why don’t Chris-
tians immerse themselves more

Tatel closed by describing Gins-
burg as an optimist and asked
whether she believes her court
colleagues are “open to persua-
sion” despite predictions of
“rough seas ahead” on issues such
as workers’ rights and abortion.
Ginsburg pointed to examples

Among Rev. Peterson’s more
than 30 books were “Eat This
Book: A Conversation in the Art
of Spiritual Reading” (2006),
“Tell It Slant: A Conversation on
the Language of Jesus in His
Stories and Prayers” (2008) and a
well-received 2011 memoir, “The

Survivors include his wife of 60
years, the former Janice Stubbs,
of Lakeside; three children, Kar-
en Peterson of Missoula, Mont.,
Eric Peterson, a Presbyterian pas-
tor in Colbert, Wash., and Leif
Peterson of Whitefish, Mont.; a
sister; a brother; and nine grand-
children.
In a 2017 interview with the
Religion News Service, Rev. Pe-
terson offered a rare comment on
current events, when he said
“Donald Trump is the enemy as
far as I’m concerned. He has no
morals. He has no integrity.”
He further alienated himself
from his most conservative fol-
lowers when he said he would
perform a marriage for a same-
sex couple if they were “Chris-
tians of good faith.”
“I wouldn’t have said this 20
years ago,” he said, “but now I
know a lot of people who are gay
and lesbian, and they seem to
have as good a spiritual life as I
do. I think that kind of debate
about lesbians and gays might be
over.”
Rev. Peterson faced an im-
mediate backlash from many cor-
ners of the conservative Christian
world, including threats to have
his books banned from religious
bookstores. He soon recanted his
statement, saying, “To clarify, I
affirm a biblical view of marriage:
one man to one woman.”
It was a rare misstep for a
pastor who always sought preci-
sion in language because, he said,
every religious experience was
built on listening.
“Language in essence is con-
versation, dialogue,” he said. “It
always requires a response. In
that way, everything in scripture
is conversation. God does not
speak and then walk off. We don’t
say something to God and walk
off.”

OSAMU SHIMOMURA, 90
Atomic blast survivor and Nobel-winning chemist
BY H ARRISON S MITH
The bomber planes, he
thought, had a certain beauty,
flashing silver against the blue
sky before dropping their explo-
sive cargo on industrial plants
near Nagasaki, Japan.
He watched them from a hill
next to his own factory, where he
was assigned to work on fighter-
plane engines about nine miles
from town, and was following
them one Thursday morning in
August 1945 when they took an
unusual route toward the center
of the city.
“We were blinded for about
30 seconds,” Osamu Shimomura
later remembered, recalling the
U.S. atomic bomb blast that de-
stroyed nearly half of Nagasaki.
“Then, about 40 seconds after the
flash, a loud sound and sudden
change of air pressure followed.
We were sure there was a huge
explosion somewhere, but we
didn’t know where.”
Dr. Shimomura, who was then
16, emerged from the attack shak-
en but physically unscathed — a
blessing he later attributed to his
grandmother, who had insisted
he take a bath after walking home
from the factory soaked with
grimy, highly radioactive “black
rain.” He went on to build an
unlikely new life as a chemist,
performing experiments that
transformed scientists’ under-
standing of bioluminescence, in
which living organisms produce
and emit light, sometimes while
surrounded by total darkness.
Recalling his first major
achievement as a chemist in the
mid-1950s, the crystallization of a
substance that enables a small
Japanese crustacean to glow, he
once wrote: “Since the end of the
war, my life had been dark, but
this gave me hope for my future.”
Less than a decade later, Dr.
Shimomura had uncovered an
unusual protein within a beauti-
ful, brightly glowing jellyfish — a
discovery that earned him a one-
third share of the Nobel Prize in
chemistry and formed the basis of
a powerful new scientific tool,
enabling biologists to follow the
intricate movements of cells and
individual proteins.
He was 90 when he died Oct. 19
in Nagasaki, according to the Ma-
rine Biological Laboratory in
Woods Hole, Mass., which an-
nounced the death but did not
give a cause. Dr. Shimomura had
served as a senior scientist at the
institute from 1982 until his re-
tirement in 2001, and he was also
a professor emeritus at the Bos-
ton University School of Medi-
cine.
Traveling during the summer
to conduct field work, Dr. Shimo-
mura studied bioluminescent
fireworms in Bermuda, cave
worms and limpets in New Zea-
land, and a plethora of glowing
bacteria, twinkling fireflies and
neon-colored squid and krill. His
DORCAS REILLY, 92
Inventor of the ‘mother
of all comfort foods’
BY T IMOTHY B ELLA
It started with a call from the
Associated Press and a question:
What’s a good recipe for a vegeta-
ble side dish that features com-
mon pantry products?
In 1955, the AP, like other news-
papers, magazines and news
sources of the time, was running a
feature of an easy-to-make Camp-
bell’s Soup side. The question
came with a caveat: The recipe
had to be built around green
beans and Campbell’s Cream of
Mushroom Soup, two items most
Americans regularly had in their
homes in the ’50s.
The request fell to the Camp-
bell’s Soup Co. test kitchen in
Camden, N.J., an arm of the com-
pany that focused on creating
recipes for its products. Dorcas
Reilly, a supervisor for the Camp-
bell’s home economics depart-
ment, was tasked with leading
her team in figuring out what
could be done.
The group would test and
grade recipes repeatedly. Only
those with perfect scores would
be approved. In November of that
year, Mrs. Reilly and her team
settled on what would be first
known as “the Green Bean Bake,”

chemistry that year for the discovery and development of a jellyfish protein that assists researchers

central discovery was centered on
a North American jellyfish,
Aequorea victoria, sometimes
called the crystal jelly.
He was working at Princeton
University when a colleague, the
biologist Frank Johnson, brought
the animals to his attention and
suggested that Dr. Shimomura
travel to Friday Harbor, Wash.,
where the jellyfish seemed to con-
gregate in Puget Sound. The two
men went there together in the
summer of 1961, traveling across
the country with a pair of re-
search assistants — including Dr.
Shimomura’s wife, Akemi — in a
seven-day trip by station wagon.
In an autobiographical essay
for the Nobel Prize, Dr. Shimomu-
ra wrote that they set up shop at
Friday Harbor Laboratories, a
field station run by the University
of Washington, where “a constant
stream of floating jellyfish passed
along the side of the lab dock
every morning and evening, rid-
ing with the tidal current.”
With a simple dip net, he and
the Princeton team scooped up
jellyfish one by one, using a pair
of scissors — and later a “jellyfish
cutting machine” — to eliminate
unnecessary body parts. Skepti-
cal residents asked Dr. Shimomu-
ra how he was planning to eat the
jellyfish, doubtful that they were
actually being used for research.
But by the end of the summer, he
and his team had taken samples
from 10,000 of the creatures, en-
abling him to isolate a pair of
luminescent proteins early the
following year.
The first and most promising
protein, aequorin, was later used
as an indicator for calcium. The

“We worked in the kitchen with
things that were most likely to be
in most homes,” she told NPR in
2015. “It’s so easy. And it’s not an
expensive thing to make, too.”
When Campbell’s started to
put Mrs. Reilly’s recipe on the
cans of its Cream of Mushroom
Soup in 1960, the popularity of
the dish hit new heights. More
than 60 years since the dish was
invented, green bean casserole is
a Thanksgiving staple, with more
than 20 million American house-
holds expected to serve it this
year, according to Campbell’s.
Throughout her life, Mrs. Reil-
ly remained astonished by the
success of a dish based on green
beans and cream of mushroom
soup, one referred to by Camp-
bell’s as “the mother of all com-
fort foods.”
Mrs. Reilly died Oct. 15 at a
hospital in Camden. She was 92

her husband of 59 years, Thomas

Dorcas Reilly prepares green bean casserole in 2005, 50 years after
she invented it. Campbell’s estimates that more than 20 million
American households will serve the dish at Thanksgiving this year.
THE WASHINGTON POST
By 1944, as the tide of World
War II turned against Japan, Dr.
Shimomura’s father urged the
family to move to the countryside
to avoid American bombing raids.
Instead, Dr. Shimomura’s mother
took them to her parents’ home in
Isahaya, near Nagasaki, where he
and his 10th-grade classmates
were assigned to work at a naval
aircraft arsenal that was subse-
quently destroyed by U.S. bomb-
ers, killing some of Dr. Shimomu-
ra’s friends.
An unexceptional student in
high school, when he found little
time to study amid the war effort,
Dr. Shimomura tried to enter
three separate colleges but was
rejected each time. He was even-
tually admitted to the Nagasaki
College of Pharmacy, despite hav-
ing little interest in becoming a
pharmacist. After graduating in
1951, he studied organic chemis-
try under Yoshimasa Hirata at
Nagoya University and per-
formed his successful experi-
ments with the Japanese crusta-
cean, crystallizing a light-emit-
ting compound known as lucifer-
in.
He received a doctorate in or-
ganic chemistry in 1960 and
joined Princeton later that year,
remaining at the school before
joining the Marine Biological
Laboratory in 1982. He was
awarded the Order of Culture
from Akihito, the emperor of Ja-
pan, in 2008.
Survivors include his wife and
longtime research assistant, the
former Akemi Okubo; a son, Tsu-
tomu Shimomura, a computer
security expert credited with
helping the FBI capture hacker
Kevin Mitnick in 1995; a daugh-
ter, Sachi Shimomura, an English
professor at Virginia Common-
wealth University; and two
grandchildren.
In his essay for the Nobel Prize,
Dr. Shimomura recalled that his
career in organic chemistry was
almost entirely the result of
chance. While in college, he said,
he had attracted the attention of a
professor who offered to intro-
duce him to a molecular biologist
at Nagoya University. But the bi-
ologist wasn’t on campus when
they arrived in Nagoya, and in-
stead they met Hirata.
The chemist chatted with Dr.
Shimomura for a few minutes,
then told him, “Come to my lab.
You may start at any time.”
“This was surprising, because
we had just met,” Dr. Shimomura
wrote. “I didn’t know much about
molecular biology or organic
chemistry, so it didn’t matter to
me which specialty I would study.
I thought Professor Hirata’s
words might be the direction giv-
en by heaven, and I decided to go
to his lab. It seems that this
decision determined my future,
directing me to the studies of
bioluminescence, aequorin and
green fluorescent protein.”

in Woodbury, N.J., on July 22,
1926. She would become one of
the first members of her family to
attend college, earning a bach-
elor’s degree in home economics
from the Drexel Institute of Tech-
nology, now known as Drexel
University, in 1947.
In 1949, she joined Campbell’s,
where she was one of two full-
time employees developing reci-
pes for the company’s home eco-
nomics department. Mrs. Reilly
found success with a tuna noodle
casserole, a tomato soup cake and
a Sloppy Joe made from tomato
soup.
“It was about the team working
together,” Mrs. Reilly said in her
college alumni biography. “I
didn’t do it; we did it.”
Campbell’s has estimated that
40 percent of its Cream of Mush-
room Soup sold in the United
States is used in making Mrs.
Reilly’s green bean casserole.
In 2002, Campbell’s donated
the original recipe card written by
Mrs. Reilly to the National Inven-
tors Hall of Fame.
Mrs. Reilly’s survivors include
her husband, of Haddonfield,
N.J.; two children, Dorcas R. Tar-
bell, also of Haddonfield, and
Thomas B. Reilly of Cherry Hill,
N.J.; four grandchildren; and one
great-granddaughter.
“I loved to go to work every
day,” Mrs. Reilly said at Drexel in
2009. “It was just another day’s
work.” She added: “I hope you
enjoy green bean casserole for-
ever.”

JOSEPHINE ANN LOFGREN
On October 21, 2018, Josephine Ann Lofgren,
“Jo,” our cherished mother passed on to eter-
nal life after a mercifully short illness. She
was born March 31, 1927 in Chicago, Illinois
to the late Nicolas and Mary Gaglione (nee
La Greco), both immigrants from Sicily, Italy.
In 1950, Jo met her future husband, Nils A.
Lofgren, on the ballroom floor in Chicago.
Their love for one another blossomed into
a remarkable 52-year marriage. She leaves
behind to mourn her loss, four sons, Nils
H. (Amy), Tom R. (Kaaren), Michael (Suzanne
Sargent), and Mark L. (Kathryn Niewenhous);
grandchildren, Anna Thorner, Linda Brown,
Leslie, Theresa Hiller, Matthew, Mary, Kimberly,
Juliana, Nils, Brenna, and Dylan Covington, and
seven great-grandchildren whom she adored.
During marriage, she had the opportunity to
move around the country living in Chicago,
IL, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and Montgomery
County, Maryland. Her outgoing personality
won her many lifelong friends. Life kept her
busy starting out in factory work, bookkeeping,
sales, traveling worldwide, sewing, fabulous
Italian cooking, baking, and starting the Italian
Club at Riderwood where she lived. She was
an amazing caregiver to her husband when he
suffered with Alzheimer’s. She is preceded in
death by her husband, Nils, her siblings, Mike
Gaglione (Fran) and Anne Gentile (Lee) and
nephews Nick Gaglione, Gary Gentile, and Joe
Candella. She was the last of her generation
of a family that was started on a dream of
a better life in this country. It was realized
with hope, hard work, and love. She touched
the lives of all those who knew her with
her easy laughter, wit, genuine concern, and
kindness. May God keep her memory eternal.

IN MEMORIAM
ROBINSON
MARY ELIZABETH ROBINSON
1979 - 2003
Happy 39th Birthday! October has been a
tumultuous month filled with rain and eerie
cold, instead of the crisp, dry air of autumn.
Nothing impedes the annual delight we feel
on October 25 at 6:34 p.m. Our life’s journey
continues after your 24th birthday only
because of the vivid, beautiful memories that
pierce through the waves of grief. Time is cruel.
Our specific memories of your extraordinary
community and academic achievements are
slowly fading: a junior scientist with the Human
Genome Research Project; five national univer-
sities where you studied from middle school
through high school; three Odyssey of the
Mind World Finals; your collegiate years at
Smith College and Howard University; science
fairs and geography bowls; Shakespearean
Competitions; and many more, no longer
remembered in the order they occurred.
Thankfully, our explicit memories of how you
made us and others feel are invincible. Your
effervescent smile and radiant eyes; service
and commitment (you pledged and became
an organ donor); kindness; calmness; and ana-
lytical and compassionate mind are beacons
in our seas of despair. All is truly well with
your Soul. Your friends are always in touch.
Siew Peng and Marc are beautiful and married;
Syreeta and Khari’s daughter Karina plays
lacrosse, loves the performing arts, and sings
like an angel. Jee Jee is back from Wisconsin,
finishing her Ph.D. thesis and is so delightful.
Trinity Episcopal Church, where you were con-
firmed, celebrated 125 years of service to the
Glory of God. Everyone misses you. We often
wonder where you are right now, perhaps in
Paris. Daddy is probably in Brazil awaiting his
second Carnival. Several decades from now
(I’m optimistic), I will meet you and Daddy at
the Great Wall and regale you with memories
not yet made that have been made. Through
Christopher and his wife Kemah, you become
an aunt and great aunt to new generations
who make the lives of others better. The arc
of the moral universe has gotten longer, but
it still bends inexplicably towards justice. The
challenges and tribulations of this world are
many. Yet on October 25 we know that we
will be bathed in the caressing warmth and
raucous Joy of loving memories. And, after
October 25, our Life’s journey will continue,
fueled in anticipation of the Joy that the next
October 25 will bring. Happy Birthday, Sweet-
heart.
Love you to infinity and beyond,
Your Family (Townsend Robinson,
Christopher Robinson, and Kemah Camara)

A red-faced apology
from Megyn Kelly for
defense of blackface
After igniting controversy on
Tuesday with her defense of
blackface for a Halloween
costume, Megyn Kelly offered an
apology on NBC’s “Megyn Kelly
Today” Wednesday morning.
“I want to begin with two
words: I’m sorry,” Kelly told her
audience. “You may have heard
that yesterday we had a
discussion here about political
correctness and Halloween
costumes. And that conversation
turned to whether it is ever okay
for a person of one race to dress
up as another: a black person

darker to make a costume

the “fake news” media, and he has
characterized the press as “the
enemy of the people.”
Jeff Zucker, president of CNN
Worldwide, drew a connection be-
tween the president’s rhetoric and
the attempted attack in a sharply
worded statement released on
Twitter hours after the scare.
“There is a total and complete
lack of understanding at the
White House about the serious-
ness of their continued attacks on
the media,” Zucker wrote. “The
president, and especially the
White House press secretary,
should understand their words

About 200 employees cleared

which premieres Monday night,

supporters from various regions,
such as Port Arthur, Tex., and

otherwise.”
Indeed, Kelly received intense
criticism for her comments
Tuesday, as she vented during a
panel discussion about “political
correctness gone amok.” When
the subject of racist costumes
came up, Kelly asked, “But what
is racist?” and added when she
was growing up, blackface was
okay “as long as you were
dressing up as, like, a character.”
She also defended “Real
Housewives of New York” star
Luann de Lesseps, who got
backlash for darkening her skin
for a Diana Ross costume. “Who
doesn’t love Diana Ross? She
wants to look like Diana Ross for
one day? I don’t know how that
got racist on Halloween,” Kelly
complained. “It’s not like she’s
walking around in general.”
As Twitter responses poured in
Tuesday, (“Top Chef” host Padma
Lakshmi: “I cannot believe the
ignorance on this in 2018. You are
on national television.”), Kelly
apologized in a statement. Then,
on Wednesday, Kelly’s “Today”

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said
the package sent to CNN was
addressed to John Brennan, the
former CIA director. Brennan is
now a TV commentator, but he
works for MSNBC and NBC, not
CNN.
Brennan, who headed the spy
agency during the Obama admin-
istration, has been a harsh critic of
Trump, who retaliated in August
by revoking his security clearance.
In an email to employees, Zuck-
er said the network was “checking
all bureaus around the world, out
of a complete abundance of cau-
tion.” He later said no other devic-
es were found.
In a statement sent via Twitter,
Vice President Pence said: “We
condemn the attempted attacks
against former president Barack
Obama, the Clintons, CNN and
others. These cowardly actions
are despicable and have no place
in this Country. ”
Trump’s only public statement
about the suspicious mailings
throughout the morning was a
tweet in reply to Pence’s state-
ment. “I agree wholeheartedly,” he
wrote.
He later changed his usual
combative tone and told a White
House gathering, “In these times,
we have to unify. We have to come
together and send one very clear,
strong and unmistakable message
that acts or threats of political
violence of any kind have no place
in the United States of America.”
In a bit of ill-timed fundraising,
Trump’s reelection campaign dis-
tributed an email attacking CNN
around noon Wednesday, about
two hours after CNN reported on
the bomb threat against it. The
fundraising letter came from Lara
Trump, the president’s daughter-
in-law, who criticized CNN for its
reporting on a Trump’s rally in
Florida. Her email quotes an un-
named CNN figure who said of the
rally, “It felt like we weren’t in
America anymore.” Lara Trump’s
response reads, “It’s time for us to
give the media another wake-up
call from the American people.”
In a statement, White House
press secretary Sarah Sanders
condemned the attacks, calling
them “despicable,” and promised
that “anyone responsible will be
held accountable to the fullest
extent of the law.”
She later tweeted that “our con-
demnation . . . includes threats

Easing those school-shooting anxieties
Adapted from a
recent online dis-
cussion.
Dear Carolyn: I
have a 5-year-old
Carolyn daughter in
Hax kindergarten, and
I am just a wreck
every time I see
news about a school shooting. I
know there are daily risks in life
(getting in a car, etc.) but I am
having a really hard time with the
possibility that something fatal
could happen to her at school. We
live in a state where guns are
prevalent and concealed carry is
legal.
I’d love to hear thoughts on
how to deal with this anxiety (not
looking to start a debate on gun
control — just trying to play the
hand I’m dealt).
— A Wreck
A Wreck: Throw facts at your
anxiety, because it is in fact
irrational. Something fatal can
happen to all of us anywhere —
and does, eventually — but the
likelihood of any U.S. child dying
by any cause is very low. When
something bad does happen, it is
typically accidental; you brush
past the “daily risks” but the
numbers are much grimmer for
that car trip than for any school
day. School shootings are more
terrifying because they’re outside
our daily risk trade-offs — such as,

the political divide, such as why
people have stronger stances on
issues in certain areas.
"We can talk about global
warming in Manhattan all we
want, but if you don’t have a job,
why on earth would you say that’s
the most important issue?” she told
the Hill after visiting Port Arthur, a
town in which she says high
something indefensible. . . . I
guess it was an opportunity for us
to learn a little bit more about
blackface. But I think a lot of
people knew about blackface
before yesterday.”
On her show about 90 minutes
later, Kelly invited African
American TV hosts Roland
Martin and Amy Holmes to have
a further discussion about the
history of blackface and just how
offensive it is to consider that as a
Halloween costume.
“I think the problem is, for
African Americans, we know the
history, and too many white
Americans don’t know or won’t
accept it. And the reality is, it is
American history, yours and
mine,” Martin said. “You look at
blackface. White entertainers
wore blackface to mimic African
Americans, to caricature African
Americans. Look at minstrel
shows. Black performers were
forced to wear blackface because
whites did not want to see the
humanity of black people. So,
therefore, they had blackface.”
“The problem is, too many of
us grew up learning history, and
not actual history,” Martin
continued. That’s the problem
that we have to accept. And when
we are grown and educated, we
have to go beyond what we were
taught and what we learned in
our households and say, ‘I better
be fully aware of real American
history,’ as opposed to being in
denial about what actually took
place in this country.”
The audience applauded. “And
the other piece of it is that seeing
a white person darken her skin,
@helena_andrews @emilyaheil
do we stick only to places we can
walk, or accept the risk inherent in
vehicle travel? — just as stranger
abduction terrifies so many
parents into taking outsize
measures to supervise their kids,
when the risk is much higher in the
mundane and in people we know.
“The Gift of Fear” and
“Protecting the Gift” by Gavin de
Becker can help you assess risk
based on fact vs. emotion.
This is not to say school
shootings should be treated as
normal or acceptable; they’re far
from it. I addressed only the risk-
assessment piece; another piece
is to challenge the “hand I’m
dealt.” Concrete, informed actions
can be the best anxiety treatment
there is.
Re: School Shootings: Try to
keep your anxiety level on this
low and not give it to your
daughter — difficult, I know. If
you need to talk to her about it,
then be matter-of-fact and
underscore that this is very, very,
very unlikely to happen to her.
I worry how much we are
traumatizing kids with active-
shooter drills, etc. Cars are hugely

even for a costume, today, evokes
that past,” Kelly acknowledged.
Holmes admitted she “cringed”
when she saw the headlines
Tuesday. “I did understand the
idea of: ‘But I love this character!
I love Diana Ross!’ or any number
of African American characters
and real people historically,”
Holmes said. “But even there,
Megyn, Hollywood also has a
disreputable history hiring white
actors to play ethnic minorities
because of racist casting
practices. . . . Even if it was meant
to be respectful or thoughtful and
reflective, it reflected in our
culture a nonacceptance of ethnic
minorities in media
representation.”
The conversation continued
for more than 10 minutes as
Martin and Holmes talked about
racism that persists; Kelly mostly
listened. Holmes concluded, “The
last part is, I can play Diana Ross.
I’m sorry, Megyn, you can’t.”
The audience chuckled at that,
but Martin countered, “Megyn,
you can play Diana Ross, just like
you can play any other character.
But you just put on a gown, grab a
fan and then have big hair, you're
fine. But that's the mistake we
make when we say, ‘I want to
cross that line.’ ”
“There are lines,” he added.
“And there’s history and there’s
pain, and when we acknowledge
that, we can learn and grow from
it. As long as we, as Americans,
live in denial and act as if that
stuff does not matter, then we will
continue to have this problem in
the next 400 years.”

now, because of careful analysis of
risks and pressure to minimize
them.
Here’s the thing, and I’m glad
you steered the conversation to it.
If recent reports are accurate,
young people are experiencing
high levels of anxiety and
depression, with smartphone
overuse involved as both cause
and effect, to the point where
(budget-slashed) school
counseling offices are overrun.
The risk in these mental health
conditions is so much more
immediate than the risk of a
shooter.
Then there are the risks that
come with overprotection fueled
by parental anxiety. Kids need to
get out in the world, on their own,
in age-appropriate ways.
Otherwise they get launched in
the greater world as
chronological adults who are
functionally still children, lacking
in life skills.
So these are more reasons for
parents to force themselves to
gain and live by a factual
understanding of risk — and
factual motivation to improve the
conditions we’re in.

Unholy moly, great scary reads for Halloween
BY M ICHAEL D IRDA
“The best thing of its kind since
‘Dracula’ ” declared James Hilton,
author of “Lost Horizon,” after
finishing Dennis Wheatley’s “The
Devil Rides Out.” Even now this
1934 thriller — about a black-mag-
ic cult in Britain and the small
band of friends that seeks to
thwart its evil designs — remains
wonderfully kitschy fun, as well as
a perfect book for Halloween.
In its glorious excess, Wheat-
ley’s novel recalls the weird-men-
ace adventures that flourished in
1930s pulp magazines. Related in
breathless prose, these shuddery
tales often featured mad scien-
tists, Fu Manchu-like supervil-
lains or nefarious diabolists.
Beautiful young blondes were in-
variably needed for grotesque ex-
periments or Satanic rites, while
square-jawed heroes would res-
cue these lightly clad damsels at
the very last moment. Wheatley
develops all these tropes to melo-
dramatic, sensationalist perfec-
tion. Little wonder that “The Devil
Rides Out” became one of the best
of the Hammer horror films. Its
star, Christopher Lee, maintained
that it was the favorite of all his
movies.
The novel opens when the burly
young American Rex Van Ryn vis-
its his rich, aristocratic friend the
Duke de Richleau. On the first
page we learn that some years
earlier Rex had landed in a Soviet
prison and “the elderly French
exile had put aside his peaceful
existence as art connoisseur and
dilettante to search for him in
Russia.” Together, the pair learned
the dangerous secret of “The For-
bidden Territory” but finally es-
caped alive with the help of Rich-
ard Eaton; his future bride, the
Princess Marie Lou; and a third
companion, one with a “subtle
brain and shy, nervous courage,”
Simon Aron. The life-and-death
perils faced by these five created a
bond of friendship that nothing
could ever break.
Or could it? Simon has recently
been spending all his time with a
mysterious Mr. Mocata. Even
though Rex has only just arrived
in London, the American instant-
ly insists on driving to Simon’s
new and strangely secluded house
to find out what’s going on. When
he and the duke arrive, they dis-
cover some kind of party or cel-
ebration in progress. There are 13
guests, of differing nationalities,
many of them slightly grotesque
or misshapen, though that’s hard-
ly true of the lovely Tanith, to
whom Rex is quickly attracted.
However, when the duke notices a
“five-pointed star enclosed within
two circles between which numer-
ous mystic characters in Greek
and Hebrew had been drawn,” he
realizes that Simon is in grave and
immediate danger.
As is usual with aristocratic dil-
ettantes, De Richleau once stud-
ied “esoteric doctrines” during a
sojourn in the East, so he is able to
recognize the dread symbols of
the Left-Hand Path: “Despite our
electricity, our aeroplanes, our
modern skepticism, the power of
Darkness is still a living force,
worshipped by depraved human
beings for their unholy ends in the
great cities of Europe and Ameri-
ca to this very day.”
Mocata’s ends are unholy in-
deed. He needs Simon to locate
the Talisman of Set, with which he
can then release the Four Horse-
men of the Apocalypse, War,
Plague, Famine and Death. As the
novel proceeds, the Indiana
Jones-like action never slows, ex-
cept when our heroes take a short
break to sip a glass of Imperial
Tokay or enjoy an expensive cigar,
usually while discussing occult
practices. As it is, Wheatley
doesn’t miss a trick from the Pen-
ny Dreadful playbook: hypno-
tism, crystal-gazing, an entity
from another dimension, the Tar-
ot, a cackling Gypsy, palm-read-
ing, the Philosophers’ Stone, an
orgiastic sabbat on May Day’s Eve,
the Kaballah, Stonehenge, the Un-
dead and, not least, a threat to the
very soul of our bedeviled heroine,
the lovely Tanith. Can she be res-
cued from a fate worse than
death?
I’ll stop there except to add that
the tireless Wheatley went on to
produce many other Grand Gui-
gnol thrillers, including the shiv-
ery and lubriciously suggestive
loween is also a time for ghost
stories, and this fall brings several
wonderful collections, starting
with the British Library’s magnifi-
cent paperback series “Tales of the
Weird.” Recent volumes include:
“Mortal Echoes: Encounters With
the End,” edited by Greg Buzwell;
“Haunted Houses: Two Novels by
Charlotte Riddell,” edited by An-
drew Smith (the novels are the
hard-to-find “Fairy Water” and
“The Uninhabited House”), “From
the Depths and Other Strange
Tales of the Sea,” edited by Mike
Ashley and “Glimpses of the Un-
known: Lost Ghost Stories,” also
edited by Ashley, perhaps our
most redoubtable scholar of early
genre literature.
In fact, Ashley’s “lost ghost sto-
ries” are true rediscoveries, as are
those in the equally welcome “A
Suggestion of Ghosts: Supernatu-
ral Fiction by Women 1854-1900,”
gleaned from contemporary peri-
odicals by J.A. Mains (Black Shuck
Books). Similarly, “The Valan-
court Book of Horror Stories, Vol-
ume 3,” compiled by James D.
Jenkins and Ryan Cagle, reprints
uncanny tales that are still too
little appreciated. For “The Folio
Book of Horror Stories” (Folio So-
ciety), British horrormeister
vancing to Shirley Jackson (“The
Bus”) and Reggie Oliver (“Flowers
of the Sea”). To sample the very
latest in weird storytelling, seek
out “Uncertainties: Volume 3,” ed-
ited by Lynda E. Rucker (Swan
River Press).
If you prefer spending dark eve-
nings with a single author, consid-
er three recent collections: Rosa-
lie Parker’s “Sparks From the Fire”
(Swan River Press), which collects
19 stories, some set against the
brooding Yorkshire landscape;
“Figures Unseen: Selected Sto-
ries” by the prolific World Fantasy
Award winner Steve Rasnic Tem
(Valancourt); and “Nothing Is Ev-
erything” (Undertow) by Canada’s
master of Northern chills, Simon
Strantzas.
Last, if you haven’t been too
frightened by “The Devil Rides
Out,” you will be by Scott G.
Bruce’s “The Penguin Book of
Hell,” in which writers from an-
tiquity to the 20th century de-
scribe the eternal, infernal hereaf-
ter. Abandon all hope, ye who

Mondo condos come

to the hot D.C. market
CONDOS FROM C1
But it’s already under contract.
The question is, who’s buying
these places?
But the advent of seven-figure
condos in Washington’s mixed-
income neighborhoods baffles
some old-timers.
David Holmes, a retired former
ANC commissioner, bought his

L
ess than a mile from the
schoolhouse, in a neighbor-
hood on the fringe of Capitol
Hill that two decades ago strug-
gled with crime, an old Gothic-
style church has been broken up
into six luxury condos, with
stained glass windows, private
elevators, stark white Italian-
designed kitchens and a stone-
lined wine cellar that evokes a
European wine cave. Each unit at
the Bell Tower at Stanton Park —
named for the 130-foot steeple —
has been listed at around
$2.8 million.
“Real estate has gone up and up
and up, to the point where we
wonder when it’s going to stop,”
said Emily Ehrens Hainline, an
agent at TTR Sotheby’s, as her
snakeskin heels clacked up a
wooden staircase during a tour.
“When does it get ridiculous?”
Last year, a single brick-walled
condo unit in the Helicopter Fac-
tory — yes that’s what it used to be
— fetched $2.3 million, shattering
the record for its neighborhood
own house not far from the new
church condos for a song back in
the 1990s. He’s all in favor of
filling the empty churches, whose
African American congregations
have slowly migrated to the sub-
urbs.
And at a time of rapid gentrifi-
cation, the Bell Tower seems like
good news: No quaint rowhouse
or favorite bodega was harmed.
No longtime residents were dis-
placed. While some properties
like the Helicopter Factory and
the Chapman Stables in Truxton
Circle and the countless school-
houses turned condo had sat
crumbling and neglected for
years before their extreme make-
overs, the decommissioned
church was able to avoid that fate.
But Holmes is also a home-
owner, and he’s astonished by the
multi-million-dollar price tags af-
fixed to — what, exactly? “I can’t
understand why people would
pay that kind of money for a
condo,” he said.
The answer, of course, is be- JAHI CHIKWENDIU/THE WASHINGTON POST

in another old schoolhouse in
Washington’s Eckington neigh-
borhood, wedged between some
of the city’s busiest thoroughfares
and just around the corner from a
gas station and a carryout pizza
joint; the asking price was just
over $1 million.
For decades, the Washingto-
nians who could afford this much
house were more likely to gravi-
tate to the stand-alone mansions
nestled alongside embassies in
Kalorama or in tony enclaves
such as Georgetown or McLean,
Va. Members of the Trump admin-
istration beelined for these neigh-
borhoods when they arrived,
scooping up four of the market’s
dozen priciest homes last year.
T
he prices of the city’s condos
— of all homes, really —
have spiked in recent years,
a chicken-and-egg dilemma
caused by the dearth of affordable
properties on the market, says
Daryl Fairweather, chief econo-
mist of online real estate broker-
age Redfin. Which is why frugal
millennials are looking back
toward the suburbs — which
leaves the city’s housing market to
the very wealthy.
Changes in tax law and the
recent bullish stock market also
help explain the minor glut of
multimillion-dollar condos with
the heated floors and claw-foot
tubs, designed for a particular
kind of buyer who is flush with . . .
Ehrens, who with her daughter
represents all six of the units at
the Bell Tower. “Most people have
cash in this price range.”
And so the number of homes
in that price range grows: “Build-
ers are going after buyers who
have cash. And that’s the interna-
tional buyer, that’s the ultrarich
buyer — that’s who they’re build-
ing homes for,” Fairweather con-
firmed.
Still, the wait for the exact right
buyer to plunk down money for
these pimped-out condos can re-
quire a long game, agents say,
particularly when the “personal
touches” include a wall of urinals
in the powder room and neo-
Gothic arches curving over your
“When you’re dealing with
something that has a big person-
ality, the only thing you can do is
attempt to market it in that same
fashion,” says John Coplen, the
Long and Foster agent selling the
penthouse and the other units in
the Pierce School. You just hope
there’s a buyer out there, some-
where, with a taste for a disco-
themed bathroom.
“Your audience,” Coplen ac-
knowledged, “is small.”
The typical customers for these
luxury condos “have houses all
over the world,” said developer
Mike Mafi. “It’s their third or
fourth or fifth house.” Mafi spe-
cializes in decadent homes for
precisely that kind of buyer; an
spired house he attempted to
build in Great Falls sparked con-
troversy. (He built it, eventually,
on a different lot, after neighbors
in the first location sued.)
Ehrens suspects foreign money
could pour into their opulent
church. Chinese, for example.
“They think we’re so affordable,”
she said. “We did have Russia.
But, you know, I haven’t seen a lot
of Russia recently.”
mischievous glint, there’s a buyer
out there in search of “a pied-à-
terre.”
A condo like this, explained her
daughter, “is a statement piece to
show off,” something that makes
most of us say, “Maybe someday I
can have that” — and others de-
clare, “I have to have that.”
Ehrens smiled. “Like a piece of
jewelry.”

Orchestra query found tional allegations against Preucil,

including another former fellow of
the New World Symphony who
sexually harassing behavior, in-
cluding inappropriate language,
propositions and groping.

claims to be credible said he assaulted her in a Miami

PREUCIL FROM C1
multiple female students and col-
leagues over a period of years
while employed by the Orchestra,”
the orchestra said in a statement.
“Moreover, the abusive conduct by
both performers was made possi-
ble by their positions of power
within the Orchestra and in the
broader world of classical music.
According to the investigation,
women who were victims were
intimidated by Mr. Preucil and Mr.
La Rosa, and were afraid to take
action after they were subjected to
the unwelcome behavior.”
Preucil admitted to investiga-
tors he had had sexual contact
with three students, and said that
his behavior was wrong. He also
admitted to telling a sexually ex-
plicit story to a female violinist.
But he denied other misconduct.
“Based on the number of de-
tailed and consistent reports that
Debevoise received . . . many of
which were corroborated by wit-
nesses,” the report continued,
“Preucil’s denial that he engaged
in additional misconduct is not
credible.”
La Rosa admitted to attempting
to kiss a student during a lesson
and also admitted that he some-
times touched students, though he
said he did so purely for pedagogi-
cal purposes. “La Rosa did not
engage in the same behaviors with
male students,” said the report.
Neither Preucil nor La Rosa re-
sponded to requests for comment.
“The numbers are shocking,
and it made me sick to my stomach
to read the report,” said Andre
Gremillet, the orchestra’s execu-
tive director. “It’s devastating.”
Gremillet apologized for “the
reprehensible behavior of two
members” of the orchestra. “I
think we have done the right thing
by publishing the entire report,” he
said. “It was important for us for
people to understand how thor-
ough this process has been.”
In The Post’s initial article,
which appeared in July, violinist
Zeneba Bowers said Preucil as-
saulted her in his Miami hotel
room after a lesson when she was a
fellow at the New World Sympho-
ny, the country’s leading training
orchestra for young professionals,
in 1998. Other musicians con-
firmed Preucil’s reputation for in-
appropriate advances. Earlier this
month, the Cleveland Plain Dealer
reported two women made addi-
hotel room in 2005.
“I would like to thank the other
women who came forward, whose
courage and fortitude has truly
impressed me,” Bowers said to The
Post on Wednesday. “I thank the
Cleveland Orchestra for conduct-
ing a thorough investigation. I
hope that this will help begin to
change this aspect of the working
environment in the music busi-
ness and in our society at large.”
The concertmaster is generally
considered the leader of the musi-
cians of the orchestra, second to
the conductor, and tends to be the
highest paid. Preucil was widely
held to be one of the best concert-
masters in the country.
Two other high-profile musi-
cians accused of harassment in
The Post’s article had already lost
their positions. In August, the Roy-
al Concertgebouw Orchestra in
Amsterdam cut ties with its chief
conductor, Daneile Gatti, whom
two women in The Post’s article
accused of misconduct. Also in
August, Bernard Uzan, the stage
director and artists’ manager, re-
signed as co-director of the young-
artist program at the Florida
Grand Opera; turned over control
of his agency to his daughter, Va-
nessa; and announced he was leav-
ing the opera field. Four women in
The Post article accused Uzan of
Cleveland Orchestra officials
said they were not aware of the
allegations against Preucil that
The Post reported. “Debevoise
found no evidence that anyone in
Orchestra management knew
about specific instances of Preu-
cil’s sexual misconduct other than
the allegation that was publicized
in 2007 by the Cleveland Scene,”
the report said. “However,” it con-
tinued, “ former Orchestra leader-
ship should have done more to
investigate the reports about Preu-
cil’s behavior.”
As for La Rosa, the report stated
that the orchestra was approached
about his behavior on at least three
occasions, twice by universities. In
one case, the orchestra was unable
to investigate because the student
did not make a formal complaint.
La Rosa was issued a warning.
Gremillet said the orchestra
will improve its whistleblower
policy and create an anonymous
hotline that will provide a better
process for future complaints. “It’s
a clear message that none of this
will be tolerated,” he said.
But he declined to discuss the
report’s conclusion that the or-
chestra could have done more in
the past. “The report speaks for
itself,” he said. “That’s why we’re
releasing it.”

San Francisco Ballet’s bridge to Silicon Valley

DANCE FROM C1
serenity in sailing through the
most devilishly abandoned, limb-
flinging feats of cannonball force.
Yet there was enough similarity of
style and feeling among the three
ballets — loose, sweeping, dreamy
— that the effect grew somewhat
toneless after a while. Everything
was velvet. I longed for a bit of bite.
McIntyre’s piece, “Your Flesh
Shall Be a Great Poem,” stood apart
in inviting lingering contempla-
tion. A program note describes
McIntyre’s fantasy of meeting his
grandfather as a young man. An
image of a solar eclipse introduced
the idea of a portal through time, a
bridge to the imagined past. This
was echoed in the dancers’ floating
quality, and there were many mo-
ments where I caught my breath.
In one, lead dancer Benjamin Free-
mantle bounded into the air, and
as his arms lagged compared with
the speed of his descent, he
seemed to fall through water.
Recordings by folksy singer-
songwriter Chris Garneau lent a
sense of nostalgia and play, echoed
in the knockabout spirit among the
other male dancers. There were
tender duets among them; women
drifted through beautifully and
left, and finally Freemantle tangled
with a wooden footstool in a curi-
ous but oddly moving solo, in his
boxers, with the moon looming be-
hind him. Aging, solitude and grace
were gathered gently together, with
an exquisitely light touch, and the
effect was like vapors in an updraft.
Maybe it’s San Francisco’s prox-
imity to Silicon Valley that
prompted Wheeldon to make art
of our obsession with our cell-
phones. In “Bound To,” the danc-
ers stare into their handhelds,
each in his or her own world, and
— guess what — they miss out on
so much. Taking a concrete subject
is a departure for Wheeldon, yet
this is not his best work. The duets
were frequently lovely, but some-
times overwrought, and the subti-
my mindfulness was on trial.
In “Take a Deep Breath,” com-
plicated overhead lifts kept Yuan
Yuan Tan and Carlo Di Lanno so
busy that they barely looked at one
another. No phones in this part, so
perhaps the couple’s disconnect
meant coldness of another kind,
but then they exited snuggling,
and the focus of this piece left with
them.
I’d like to see more of Dawson’s
work and his appetite for move-
ment. In his “Anima Animus,” ac-
companied by a brisk Ezio Bosso
violin concerto, dancers flew in
from the wings, spun by invisible
currents; they gathered in inti-
mate small-scale whirlwinds. The
simple motif: a play of light and
dark, with the dancers in Yumiko
Takeshima’s half-white, half-black
skin-baring bodysuits. It felt like a
windswept autumn.

Ask Amy months ago, I was

I told him it was

“F inesses have no busi-

to me in the club lounge.
Louie meant the player we
call Harlow the Halo. While
bad luck follows Louie around
like his shadow, Harlow’s
errors never cost a penny.

Louie and Harlow played at

“When I was declarer,”
Louie told me, “I saw that the
club finesse was moot. Even
if the queen won, I still had
to guess the queen of hearts
to make the slam. But if I
guessed right, I could discard

won 12 tricks: four hearts,

“When the Halo was

“he finessed with the queen
of clubs at Trick One ... win-

ANSWER: The problem
might split a panel of
experts. Some would over-
call one diamond to get
the five-card suit into the BLONDIE DEAN YOUNG & JOHN MARSHALL SALLY FORTH FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & JIM KEEFE
game promptly, intending
to act again later. Others
would double to show sup-
port for all three unbid suits
and cater to the chance
of a major-suit game or

one diamond, but I don’t feel
strongly.

“What’s your favorite

The Score sport?”
FRED BOWEN Kids ask me this
when I visit their
schools to talk about
how I write my sports books and
KidsPost columns.
I usually answer that I like to watch
baseball and play golf. Maybe I should ERIC BARADAT/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES

change my answer. Every sport is good for
different reasons — especially for kids.
Football: I know football is rough and
kids can get hurt, but it’s a real team
sport. Every player has to do his job or
the play won’t work. Do your job. That’s
an important lesson.
Baseball/softball: Some parents and
kids think these games are too slow. But
baseball and softball teach kids to pay
attention until called upon. You may be
standing out in right field, but you have
to be ready when the ball comes to you.
These games also teach kids how to
deal with failure. Even the greatest
hitter makes an out most of the time.
Soccer: This low-scoring game
teaches kids they have to work really
hard to score just one goal. That’s
another good lesson because the most
important things in life never come easy.
Lacrosse/basketball: Here are two
sports that are great for getting kids into
tiptop condition. Players are running
and moving from start to finish. There’s
no way you can play these games
without being in good shape.
All the sports described above are
team sports. So each one teaches kids
how to be part of a group and get along
with other players and personalities.
That’s an important skill to learn no
matter what you do in life.
Individual sports teach important
lessons, too. Let’s take a look at some.
Tennis: A simple sport — all you need
is one ball, one racket and one
opponent. This game teaches the key
lesson that you should never give up on
a point. And it’s a game you can play for
your whole life.
Golf: Here’s a game that teaches kids
Soccer teaches you that you have to work hard to score just one goal, a good lesson on how important things don’t come easy.
manners (wait your turn, be quiet when
others are hitting) as well as the
discipline to forget bad shots and bad
bounces. Ben Hogan, a champion golfer,
was once asked what was the most
important shot in golf. “The next one,”
he replied.
Swimming: This isn’t my favorite, but
I have to admit it’s great for kids.
Swimming teaches the rewards of hard
work. The more kids practice, the lower
their race times get. And in swimming
you can feel like a winner if you post a
personal best even if you lose the race.
Lots of the sports are terrific for kids
(and I haven’t even mentioned running,
ISTOCK
rowing, hockey or a bunch of others).
So give them all a try. You might learn
something. Or find a new favorite.

A woman buys Mega Millions
tickets hours before Tuesday’s draw
of the $1.537 billion jackpot.
Someone’s really
happy: Winning
lotto is $1.5 billion
Lottery officials say someone
bought a ticket in South Carolina to
win the Mega Millions jackpot worth
$1.537 billion, shy of the world
record Powerball jackpot of 2016.
The winning numbers were 5, 28,
62, 65, 70 and Mega Ball 5. The lucky
player overcame miserable odds:
The chance of matching all six
numbers and winning the top prize
is 1 in 302.5 million.
It probably will be days or even
weeks before the ticket holder steps
forward to claim the prize.
It’s possible the world will never
know who bought the winning ticket
in Tuesday night’s drawing.
South Carolina is one of eight
states — along with Delaware,
Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, North
Dakota, Ohio and Texas — where
winners can remain anonymous.
The Mega Millions jackpot grew
so large because it had been nearly
three months since a player had
matched all six numbers and won
the top prize. The last time that
happened was July 24, when 11 co-
workers from California won a
$543 million prize.

and five days before his team stumbled on

Three face prison time
after fraud convictions
over paying for recruits
BY W ILL H OBSON
AND K EVIN A RMSTRONG
new york — Two Adidas offi-
cials and an aspiring NBA agent
were found guilty of fraud charg-
es Wednesday in connection
with schemes to secretly pay the
families of top basketball re-
cruits to secure their commit-
ments to Adidas-sponsored col-
lege teams.
The jury’s verdict, which came
after more than two days of
deliberations following a three-
week trial, delivered a victory to
federal prosecutors and FBI
agents in New York City who
have spent more than three years
investigating the college basket-
ball black market and have two
more trials stemming from the
probe scheduled for next year.
In siding with prosecutors, the
jury embraced the government’s
theory that, by paying the fami-
lies of five top recruits amounts
ranging from $2,500 to $90,000,
in violation of NCAA rules, the
men defrauded Louisville, Kan-
sas and North Carolina State.
The schools would not have
awarded scholarships to those
recruits had they known about
the illicit payments, prosecutors
argued, and now face possible
NCAA sanctions and financial
penalties as a result.
The defendants — Jim Gatto, a
veteran Adidas basketball mar-
keting manager; Merl Code, a
former consultant for Adidas
basketball who formerly worked
for Nike; and Christian Dawkins,
a former recruiter for ASM, a
prominent sports agency — face
potentially lengthy prison terms
for convictions of wire fraud and
wire fraud conspiracy.
TRIAL CONTINUED ON D4
For Smith,
Redskins,
timing still
is hit-or-miss
BY K AREEM C OPELAND
Alex Smith knows he missed an
opportunity Sunday. The Wash-
ington Redskins quarterback had
tight end Jeremy Sprinkle wide
open in the end zone on a play-ac-
tion rollout late in the third quar-
ter against the Dallas Cowboys
and missed the throw. Washing-
ton settled for a field goal and
watched another chance for a big
play evaporate.
Smith said he thought Sprinkle
would flatten out as he finished
the route but believed the tight
end drifted toward the back cor-
ner.
“Too much air on that throw,
and it just sailed,” Smith said.
“That was my mind-set as I came
out with the safety chasing him
from behind.”
That missed connection is an-
other example of how the Red-
skins’ offense remains a work in
progress entering Sunday’s game
against the New York Giants in
the Meadowlands. All of the tight
ends have been available, but in-
juries to Paul Richardson Jr., Jam-
ison Crowder and Chris Thomp-
son have forced Smith to try to
develop chemistry with backup
pass-catchers while still needing
to do the same with the starters.
“There are some times, without
a doubt, that you’re going to go

time out there,” Smith said. “You’d

EARLY LEAD: ANALYSIS D.C. SPORTS BOG FANCY STATS: ANALYSIS

Charles Scoring is
probably up in NBA
won’t make and should
the Hall stay higher
BY M ATT B ONESTEEL BY N EIL G REENBERG

Jamaal Charles gave the NFL
one last go this month at age 31,
signing with the running back-
needy Jacksonville Jaguars. But
his return was short-lived: On Fri-
day, the Jaguars traded with the
Cleveland Browns to acquire run-
ning back Carlos Hyde, and on
Monday, Jacksonville released
Charles after just two games, six
carries and seven yards.
Charles wrote Tuesday on Ins-
tagram that it “probably” was his
“last chance putting on a jersey.”
Charles, a third-round draft
pick by the Chiefs in 2008, exits
the NFL as a player who was capa-
ble of some exciting moments on
the field, which probably will get
him at least some consideration
for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He averaged 5.4 yards per carry
over his career, the most for a
running back with at least
1,000 career attempts. (The
Browns’ Marion Motley, who had
nearly 600 fewer carries than
Charles, averaged 5.7 yards per
attempt.) Charles also was one of
the best pass-catching running
backs of his time, with 310 career
receptions. In 2013, he rushed for
1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns
while catching 70 passes and scor-
ing another seven touchdowns
through the air for Kansas City.
But a Hall of Fame candidacy
needs more than that, and Charles
didn’t have the longevity to rack up
truly stunning career numbers. He
had triple-digit carries in only five
of his 11 NFL seasons, with knee
injuries derailing him in 2011, 2015
and 2016. He spent 2017 with the
Denver Broncos but only as a back-
up, rushing for 296 yards and his
final NFL touchdown.
If anything, Charles mostly will
be remembered as a breakout star
of the fantasy football era, with his
performance against the Oakland
Raiders on Dec. 15, 2013, remem-
bered the most: eight carries,
20 yards, one rushing touchdown

“I can’t remember

Wayne Rooney said that, unlike in England, he doesn’t have to worry about being hounded by paparazzi in the District.
Rooney loves being ‘chilled out’
BY S COTT A LLEN
D.C. United was mired in last place in
the Eastern Conference when Wayne
Rooney made his debut for the club
July 14. Since then, D.C. has been MLS’s
hottest team, with a 12-4-3 record that has
propelled it to a playoff berth. Rooney,
who has 12 goals and seven assists in 19
appearances, is the primary reason.
“Like a human defibrillator, Rooney
has jolted the locker room with
confidence and tenacity,” Roger Bennett,
co-host of “Men in Blazers” on NBC
Sports, wrote of the English star forward
last week. “It’s a third act worthy of a
mythic hero, and the joy — and humility
— Rooney has shown along the way is a
reminder that behind the scores and
stats, the real thrill of watching sports is
the human story of it all.”
Rooney recently joined Bennett for a
“Men in Blazers” television special that
aired Monday. During their 30-minute
chat, Rooney, who turned 33 on
Wednesday, reflected on his first
summer in D.C. and his surprising
decision to join United after playing
16 years in the English Premier League.
“There’s obviously more money in
other countries, which I could have
made, but it was a decision purely based
on football first of all but also on where
would be best to move with my family,”
said Rooney, whose annualized base
salary with United is $2.7 million.
Asked about his initial impressions of
his new club following his first training
session with United, Rooney recalled the
sweltering heat and thinking, “What am
I doing?” But Rooney made a concerted
effort to fit in with his new teammates,
turning down the team’s offer to allow

him to travel business-class and have his
own room on the road.
“If you’re going to be part of the team,
you have to be part of the team, all-in,
and do the same things,” Rooney said. “I
don’t want special treatment. I want to
be treated the same as the players. I’m
part of this team. It’s not rocket science.
If you come and form relationships with
players and speak to them . . . I know a lot
of players who come here, big players in
other countries, and they have tended to
form [those] relationships or to buy into
what the team is doing. I think it’s
important. You do that, you can have a
big impact on the team.”
Rooney has more Twitter followers
than all of D.C.’s other sports stars
combined, but unlike back home in
England, he said he can go places in the
District with his wife and four sons
without worrying about being hounded
by paparazzi.
“Just to go out with my children here is
a lot different than going out with them
back home,” Rooney said. “You can do it
back home, but it’s a bit more planned.
. . . At home, at times you’re looking over
your shoulder. You’re wondering who’s
watching you, who’s filming you. Here
it’s a little bit more chilled out. It’s

NFL trade deadline? It’s now a thing.
Speculation abounds
on possible deals for Bell,
Peterson, Manning
BY M ARK M ASKE
When it comes to the trade
deadline, the NFL is not quite
baseball-like. But it’s getting clos-
er.
The NFL’s trade deadline never
used to be much of a thing. In
most seasons, it came and went
barely noticed. There was some
speculation, but few, if any, deals
were made, and even fewer of
significance were contemplated.
That has become a thing of the
past. A year ago, prominent play-
ers such as quarterback Jimmy
Garoppolo, running back Jay
Ajayi, wide receiver Kelvin Benja-
min and left tackle Duane Brown
were traded on deadline day or
the day before. Another deal that
would have sent quarterback AJ
McCarron from Cincinnati to
Cleveland was disallowed be-
cause the Browns failed to prop-
erly notify the league office by the
deadline.
This season has seen running
back Carlos Hyde traded from
Cleveland to Jacksonville last
week, wide receiver Amari Coo-
per dealt Monday from Oakland
to Dallas and cornerback Eli Ap-
ple sent Tuesday from the New
York Giants to New Orleans.
Some expect more activity by
Tuesday afternoon’s deadline.
“Trade discussions going on
around the league that would
really excite people,” former
Browns and Philadelphia Eagles
Redskins quarterback Alex Smith’s completion rate has dropped in each game since Week 2, falling from 71.7 percent to 56 percent.
Smith, targets not yet in sync

love to avoid that, but sometimes
that’s unavoidable. You can’t get it
all repped out here [in practice].
“But that’s on us as players to
make the play. I think sometimes
you’ve just got to go out there and
make the play. Certainly that was
one I missed.”
Smith has faced criticism for
his accuracy this season. He has
completed 63.3 percent of his
passes, which would be his lowest
percentage since 2013. He posted
a season-high 71.7 percentage in a
Week 2 loss to the Colts, but that
number has dropped each week
since, sinking to a season-low
56 percent in the win against the
Cowboys. Smith knows he has
missed some throws but said
some of those incompletions had
purpose behind them.
“No question the last two
weeks we had great opportunities
to get some points,” Smith said. “It
didn’t get done the last two weeks
for different reasons, but certain-
ly I felt like missed opportunities
out there by us on offense. Some-
thing that we, no doubt, look to
improve on for sure.
. THE WASHINGTON POST
executive Joe Banner wrote on
Twitter. “We will see how many
actually happen. I predict more
action than we are used to see-
ing.”
A variety of factors have been
mentioned in the transformation
of the NFL from a no-trade league
into one with actual trade-dead-
line intrigue. There is a new
generation of young general man-
agers not beholden to traditional
ideas about roster construction.
Coaches, already forced to adapt
to the practice-related restric-
tions in the collective bargaining
agreement, have become more
flexible. The burgeoning salary
cap has given teams greater free-
dom.
But the biggest factor by far,
according to former NFL
front-office executive Bill Polian,
has been the 2012 decision, on the
recommendation of the competi-
tion committee and with the co-
operation of the NFL Players
Association, to push the trade
deadline from the Tuesday after
Week 6 to the Tuesday after
Week 8.
“For years and years, [the
deadline] was earlier and teams
had not sized up the race,” Polian
said in a phone interview. “Now a
team like Dallas can say, ‘This
division is wide open. Let me see
if I can fill a need.’ Same for a
team like New Orleans: ‘This is
winnable. Let’s see what I can do
and see if I can fill a need.’ I think
it’s good for the fans. I don’t know
if it’s good for the clubs.”
These days, there are some
clearly defined buyers and sellers
as the trade deadline approaches.
The Raiders, after trading stand-
out pass rusher Khalil Mack to
Chicago before the season, are 1-5
“To me, from an accuracy
standpoint, there were two
throws to me that really stood
out. . . . A lot of the other ones I
felt I put it where I wanted to. So I
don’t view it like that. . . . Some-
times I’m trying to miss in the
right places and trying to throw a
ball in those spots.”
More chemistry between
Smith and the receivers would
help in those instances.
“Every week, he is getting more
comfortable, not just with the
way we’re calling plays and doing
things but with the people around
him and the protections and
stuff,” Coach Jay Gruden said.
“There’s a lot for a quarterback to
do in pro football, and when
terminology is new for you and
players are new and the clock’s
going and the front’s moving and
stuff, you’re going to have a
missed opportunity from time to
time. But he’s getting more com-
fortable, and he’s going to get
better and better. I like where he’s
at. And I know he knows we can
get a lot better on offense.”
Part of the upside of trading for
Smith was supposed to be that he
was an established veteran with
in Jon Gruden’s return to coach-
ing. Sending Cooper, a two-time
Pro Bowl selection who has been
far less productive over the past
two seasons, to Dallas netted the
Raiders another first-round pick
in next year’s NFL draft to go with
the two they had.
“We felt like it was an opportu-
nity that I felt like I couldn’t pass
on,” Raiders General Manager
Reggie McKenzie told reporters
Monday. “To get a first-round
pick in this business here I
thought was invaluable. It was
something that I felt like I had to
do moving forward for this or-
ganization.”
The Cowboys and Saints have
gone all-in on this season. The
Saints, chasing one of the top
seeds in the NFC playoffs, sent a
fourth-round draft choice next
year to the Giants, mired in mis-
ery at 1-6, as part of the trade
package for Apple. The Saints
now have only one pick in the
first four rounds of next year’s
draft. If they reach and perhaps
win another Super Bowl this sea-
son as quarterback Drew Brees’s
career begins to wind down, they
won’t worry too much about the
cost of their roster-bolstering.
“The Saints’ championship
window is now with Drew Brees
at QB,” salary cap expert Joel
Corry, a former agent, wrote on
Twitter. “Brees is an MVP candi-
date at 39 but Father Time even-
tually catches up to everybody.”
It remains to be seen whether
more noteworthy trades are to
come. The Giants have said they
have no plans to trade quarter-
back Eli Manning. The Arizona
Cardinals have said they won’t
comply with star cornerback Pat-
rick Peterson’s reported trade re-
experience in multiple offenses
and could pick up where Kirk
Cousins left off without an exten-
sive process. Through the sea-
son’s first seven games, that proc-
ess has been something less than
seamless, but Gruden sees it as a
correctable situation.
“We’ve had a lot of similar
carry-over concepts from Kansas
City and San Francisco, and he’s
been taught different things, and
sometimes I take that for granted
— he’s a 15-year vet, and he prob-
ably doesn’t need to read a certain
concept because he’s done it so
many times,” Gruden said. “But
he might have a little tweak on it.
Jordan Reed might be number
one on his progression, or it
might be the back or what have
you.
“We’re all getting that commu-
nication on a daily basis, and each
week there’s a new set of concepts
that we might have to add for the
defenses we are playing. They
might play a totally different cov-
erage. We’ve got to be able to
adjust and coach them up proper-
ly so we’re thinking on the same
page.”

Dunbar’s availability

Quinton Dunbar has a nerve
issue in his lower leg after being
hit in the shin during practice
last week. Dunbar, who sat out
Washington’s 20-17 win over the
Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, met
with doctors to have a nerve test
Monday. His availability for this
weekend’s game against the New

“That’s something that’s going

Jay Gruden said Wednesday.
“He’s going to try to run
tomorrow and see where his leg
feels and see if it can hold up or
not. We’ll make a decision,
hopefully, by Friday.
“We think it might have done
something to the nerve or

He’s in some pain when he runs.
It gives out on him a little bit.
We’re going to try to strengthen
it, and hopefully he can do a little

ACC coaches react to corruption trial
Krzyzewski, Boeheim
and Williams weigh in
during media day
BY G ENE W ANG
charlotte — On the same day
that three men were found guilty
by a federal jury in New York of
illicitly paying the families of top
college basketball recruits, some
of the sport’s most prominent
coaches spent significant por-
tions of ACC media day address-
ing the state of the game rather
than on-court expectations.
“I would think it means some-
thing good for our sport, but I’d
like to digest that a little bit more,”
said Duke Coach Mike Krzyzew-
ski, one of the few ACC coaches to
speak with members of the media
Wednesday after the verdict was
announced.
Adidas sports marketing man-
ager Jim Gatto, former Adidas
consultant Merl Code and aspir-
ing agent Christian Dawkins were
found guilty of wire fraud and
wire fraud conspiracy after more
than two days of deliberations. It
was the first of three trials sched-
uled in the next year as a result of a
three-year federal investigation
into corruption in college basket-
ball.
Krzyzewski, the winningest
coach in college basketball his-
tory, had drawn criticism this
month for referring to the trial as
a “blip.” One of Duke’s heralded
freshman recruits, Zion William-
son, came up in the trial when
defense attorneys argued that a
member of Williamson’s family
made financial requests to an as-
sistant coach at Kansas.
“Instead of just saying blip, I
Three found guilty in NCAA fraud case
TRIAL FROM D1
The convictions carry poten-
tial sentences of up to 20 years,
but actual sentences can vary
widely depending on a judge’s
discretion. Legal observers of the
case are not expecting Gatto,
Code and Dawkins to receive
sentences in excess of a few years
each. Gatto will appeal, his law-
yer said, and probably will re-
quest to remain free pending the
outcome, which could take sev-
eral years. Code and Dawkins,
however, still face second trials
next year in connection with
other illicit payments they alleg-
edly arranged, and now they
have more incentive to enter into
plea agreements if prosecutors
offer them.
The trial offered a detailed
view of what one witness termed
“the basketball underground,”
the interconnected network of
people seeking to influence or
profit from elite teenage basket-
ball players: shoe company em-
ployees, business managers, re-
cruiters for NBA agents — com-
monly known as “runners” —
and others.
On the stand, Brian Bowen Sr.
— whose son Brian “Tugs” Bowen
II eventually committed to Lou-
isville last year — testified to the
bidding war that led up to his
son’s college decision. Schools
including Creighton, Oklahoma
State, Arizona and Texas offered
cash amounts as high as
$150,000, Bowen Sr. testified,
but he ultimately settled on the
$100,000 offered by Adidas offi-
cials for Louisville because he
felt it was the “best basketball
fit.” Bowen Sr. also acknowl-
edged earning thousands in side
income off his son’s basketball
talents in high school, taking
money from Adidas- and Nike-
sponsored youth teams, as well
as from a high school coach.
Bowen Sr. received just
$25,000 from Adidas for his son

BY G ENE W ANG
charlotte — There might be an
extra layer of hype to the Vir-
ginia-Virginia Tech rivalry for
fans at the start of the college
basketball season, with both
men’s teams ranked in the Associ-
ated Press preseason poll for the
first time in 23 years. But players
and coaches on both sides said
Wednesday at ACC basketball me-
dia day that they approach their
would say blip on a radar, so I
want to make sure [to] do that
better this time, the next time I’m
around,” Krzyzewski said
Wednesday. He added, “I think
anybody who breaks the rules in
any aspect of our society, you’d
like to see them held accountable.”
The majority of his peers had
spoken earlier in the day at Spec-
trum Center, site of this season’s
ACC tournament. Syracuse’s Jim
Boeheim, who addressed media
members before the verdict was
announced, was skeptical of
drawing a larger conclusion from
the trial.
“The verdict doesn’t mean any-
thing,” Boeheim said. “What’s
there has to be repaired. What’s
there is not good. Obviously it’s
not good, but we have to isolate.
It’s one sneaker company, one guy,
and they obviously broke an awful
lot of NCAA rules.
“It’s very damaging what has
happened, and the most damag-
ing part is that there were coaches
involved, assistant coaches in-
volved, and that’s not good for
college basketball.”
Entering his 43rd season at his
alma mater, Boeheim is second all
time in coaching victories. He also
has been on the receiving end of
an NCAA suspension for nine
games in 2015 and had sanctions
levied against the school’s men’s
basketball program for academic
improprieties and extra benefits
provided during his tenure.
But Boeheim underscored that
not once during his time in college
basketball has he been asked for
money or requested money be
paid to anyone.
“That doesn’t mean we don’t
have to worry about it, don’t have
to try to work to make it better
every day,” he said. “But we have a
great game. We have great bal-
ance. We have great players. The

to and the others in September
2017, before the remaining
$75,000 was due to be paid in
installments. His son never
played college basketball and is
playing professionally in Aus-
tralia. Days after the arrests,
Louisville effectively fired coach
Rick Pitino, who has adamantly
denied knowledge of the pay-
ments.
Defense attorneys tried to ar-
gue that secret payments to top
recruits are common in college
basketball, in which head coach-
es make millions of dollars per
year and the NCAA rakes in more
than a billion but the players are
prohibited from getting paid.
The judge, however, prohibited
any discussion of the economics
of major college sports and
barred discussion of similar illic-
it payments arranged by officials
at Nike and Under Armour, leav-
ing the defense without much of
a case.
And while defense attorneys
argued that their clients were
acting secretly when they ar-
ranged these payments only to
avoid notice by the NCAA, whose
rules are not federal laws, pros-
ecutors had significant evidence
of the defendants acting as if
they thought they were breaking
the law. In wiretapped phone
calls and videotaped sting meet-
matchups with elevated passion

“They could not be ranked. We

graduate guard-forward Ty Out-
law said. “People in Blacksburg
tell us, ‘Even if you don’t win any
games this season, beat them.’ ”
Virginia, ranked fifth entering
the season, ascended to No. 1 in
the country last year for the first
time since 1982, became the first
team to go 9-0 on the road in the
grueling ACC and earned the top

“Players were paid 50 years ago.
There were violations 50, 60,
70 years ago, so that’s always part
of the game. It’s nothing new, but
we have to work as hard as we can
to combat that.”
Longtime North Carolina
Coach Roy Williams also was em-
broiled in an NCAA investigation
into academic misconduct within
the school’s athletic department.
The NCAA ultimately decided not
to punish one of the most storied
programs in the country for defi-
cient “paper courses” taken by
thousands of students, many of
them athletes, over nearly two
decades.
Additionally, at least one North
Carolina player was mentioned in
reports on the FBI investigation
into recruiting violations involv-
ing former NBA agent Andy Mil-
ler and Dawkins, an associate.
Williams has said repeatedly
that shoe and sportswear compa-
nies have never offered to influ-
ence recruits to attend North
Carolina.
“Who’s going to fix it? I think
everybody,” Williams said. “You
can’t legislate morality. You can’t
legislate honesty. If you could, we
wouldn’t have any prisons. We
wouldn’t have people on proba-
tion in the NCAA. It’s a hard
problem to solve. I’m not just
blowing it off and saying, ‘Oh, this
always happens.’
“This is the FBI, so this is some
serious stuff. There’s the possibili-
ty of some people doing prison
time. I mean, that’s what they
have trials for, so that part is scary,
and it’s some serious stuff going
on.”

ings, the defendants explained
that cash payments were better
because they are harder to trace.
In an email, one Adidas execu-
tive referred to these payments
as “black ops” and discouraged
others from describing them in
writing. When Gatto approved
the payments for recruits, they
were always in sham invoices, for
fake expenses, suggesting he
didn’t want his superiors at Adi-
das to know where the money
actually went.
“We have strengthened our
internal processes and controls
and remain committed to ethical
and fair business practices,” Adi-
das said Wednesday in a state-
ment.
Shortly after the verdict was
read Wednesday, Dawkins, the
youngest of the defendants in his
mid-20s, broke down in tears as
he hugged his father, Lou Dawk-
ins, an assistant basketball coach
at Cleveland State. Gatto, 48,
remained emotionless, consoling
his wife as she wept. Code, 44,
and his father — Merl Code Sr., a
judge who served as his son’s
attorney — sat still, staring
straight ahead at the front of the
courtroom for several minutes.
The judge set sentencing for
March 5, just 12 days before the
unveiling of the field of the
annual NCAA men’s basketball
tournament, which again will
generate more than a billion
dollars in revenue and provide a
premier showcase on national
television for the apparel compa-
nies whose shoes and jerseys are
worn by the top teams.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney
Robert S. Khuzami praised
Wednesday’s verdict.
“The defendants not only de-
ceived universities into issuing
scholarships under false pretens-
es,” Khuzami said, “they de-
prived the universities of their
economic rights and tarnished
an ideal which makes college
sports a beloved tradition by so
many fans all over the world.”

The Roxy, on Granville Street in Vancouver, was long a popular spot among visiting NHL players.
Has NHL been cured of the ‘Roxy flu’?
Infamous bar has fallen out of favor.
BY S AMANTHA P ELL
vancouver — Inside the Roxy
sits an old, worn-down bubble
hockey table plugged into its
coveted spot along a full-mirror
wall. Inside the plastic dome that
encases the playing surface are
player figurines representing
Team USA and Team Canada.
The game more often than not
sits untouched in the long-stand-
ing Vancouver cabaret, where
patrons down glasses of beer and
mixed drinks while the music
from live bands can be heard out
the doors on Granville Street.
Sometimes the old hockey game
is used as a spot to lean on when
the floor starts to get full. When
some get curious, it’s eyed like an
old relic that barely functions
properly. But usually it sits unno-
ticed.
Some former players vaguely
recall this game at the Roxy, one
of the last remaining memorable
symbols from a time when the
dive bar and NHL teams regular-
ly mixed. Described by some as a
“rite of passage” for NHLers, the
Roxy was a raging hot spot for
visiting players during their trips
to Vancouver. The place was so
popular that the phrase “catch-
ing the Roxy flu” was used to
describe poor performances af-
ter a night spent in the city.
The symptom: an uncharac-
teristically sluggish performance
that usually resulted in a loss.
The cause: NHL players had
one too many drinks at the bar
some 24 hours earlier.
But nowadays, with social me-
dia that can cause any player’s
faux pas to go viral, with players’
desire to maintain the value of
their brands and with a chang-
ing taste among a younger gen-
eration, the Roxy’s popularity
appears to be in decline. The
NHL has seemingly immunized
itself.
“I stand by my point that the
Roxy is undefeated,” said retired
NHL player Kevin Weekes, who
played parts of two seasons in
Vancouver during his 11-year ca-
reer. “It has probably helped the
home record of the Canucks.
Certainly it was a big thing on
the NHL radar back then, but I
don’t hear as many players talk-
ing about it now as probably
back in my day. I think social
media has changed a lot of
things, too — for the smart
players.”
Instead of long nights party-
ing at the Roxy, visiting teams
are choosing to explore the other
sides of Vancouver. Some venture
out to upscale sushi and seafood
restaurants, while others lay low,
remaining out of the public eye.
The Roxy is no longer the
default destination every time a
team is in town.
of the players they have back and
[Coach] Buzz [Williams] and
they’re staff. They’re really good,
and so I think that’s always a
great rivalry, but the league will
be deep, and I think most coaches
say the rankings, especially early,
whatever.”
Last season, Virginia’s only
conference loss over the 18-game
schedule came against the
Hokies, 61-60, in overtime at John
Paul Jones Arena. The Cavaliers,
then ranked second, had won 15
in a row before that game.
Kyle Guy, Virginia’s leading
scorer last season with 14.1 points
per game, said of the rivalry:
“Students buy into it so much that
it just really brings a different
competitive nature. And now that

“I haven’t been to the Roxy on
any team that I’ve been on,” said
Capitals forward Brett Connolly,
who also has played for the
Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay
Lightning since coming into the
league in 2011. “There are a lot of
different places to go. . . . Dinner
spots and places a little more
low-key is more my style.”
With the ever-growing city
continuing to open restaurants
and nightlife locations, the Roxy
is becoming just another dive bar
logged in the NHL history books.
“I’m sure [younger players]
probably heard about it in folk
tales and stuff like that,” Florida
Panthers forward Troy Brouwer
said. “When guys go out and
enjoy themselves now it is usual-
ly in a different manner just
because they are not trying to be
in the spotlight or put them-
selves in vulnerable positions.
Sometimes when you are in a
situation like that, it’s not always
the best for images.”
Brouwer, who made his NHL
debut in 2006 and is from Van-
couver, said when he first en-
tered the league, now-retired
Adrian Aucoin told him there
were three things in the world
that were mandatory: death, tax-
es and the Roxy. Nowadays, the
first mention of “the Roxy” usu-
ally results in laughter. Or, in
some cases, a lot of laughter. One
former player who was contacted
for this story responded in a text:
“LOLOLOL the Roxy in Van!?
LOLOL!!”
When a current veteran player
was asked whether he would talk
about his knowledge of the Roxy,
he replied, “Oh, yeah? Never
been. Couldn’t tell you.” He then
proceeded to go into detail about
the Roxy.
For Weekes, he described the
Roxy in a few simple phrases:
Gritty. Real. Not pretentious. A
bar that just played really loud
music with tables and space.
It’s a topic about which former
players can go on and on: the
nights they perhaps have spent
too long sitting on a corner stool
to the side of the bar or at one of
the booths nestled in its deep
corners. Some have seen other
celebrities. Former NHL player
Mike Knuble remembers meet-
they’re ranked, I think they abso-
lutely deserve it because they’re
bringing a lot back.”
Five of the Hokies’ top six
scorers are back, including point
guard Justin Robinson and for-
ward Kerry Blackshear, whose
basket with eight seconds left in
overtime was the difference in the
game against Virginia last season.
Robinson was voted second-
team all-ACC after averaging
14 points and 5.6 assists. Black-
shear averaged 12.5 points, and
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (10.7)
and Ahmed Hill (10.6) also aver-
aged double figures.
“Like every time we go some-
where, ‘Just beat U-Va.,’ ” Hill
said. “That’s how we look at it.”

Canadian hockey commentator
Don Cherry.
Some players still go to the
Roxy, just with less frequency
and less publicly. Lorne De Cas-
tris, a manager who has worked
at the Roxy for the past 19 years,
said he hasn’t noticed a drastic
difference in the bar’s clientele
but maintains that even if hock-
ey players do come in, they are
rarely noticed and never favored.
“I would say the great thing
about the Roxy is that it is the
every man’s bar,” De Castris said.
“You can mix and mingle here
like you would kind of on the
street. . . . I wouldn’t treat Alex
Ovechkin any different than I
would treat you or any other
person that I met, and I think
they like that about that place.
“If the hockey players are
visiting, that is great, and if they
are finding somewhere else to go,
that is also great. As long as they
are enjoying Vancouver, that is
great.”
Capitals forward T.J. Oshie
said he visited the bar a couple of
times in his earlier years. Now he
prefers to track down the city’s
best seafood.
“It’s been a good seven years
probably since I’ve been there,”
Oshie said. “It’s different, too,
with how old you are, and if you
are a young single guy it is
different than if you are married
with kids. . . . Vancouver is a
great city for dinners and other
things you want to do. There are
plenty of good spots.”
Vancouver defenseman Troy
Stecher, 24, grew up in the area
and said he heard of the Roxy flu
as a kid. He stays away from it
during the season, but in the
summer he tends to visit it once
or twice with old high school
friends. Vancouver defenseman
Erik Gudbranson, 26, has been
with the team for three seasons
and has been to the Roxy only
once in his eight-year NHL ca-
reer.
Some players love it, while
others just don’t see it as worth
any potential trouble.
“You are under a microscope
at all times now,” Stecher said.
“You do one bad thing, some-
what questionable in someone’s
opinion, you have to deal with it.
So better safe than sorry.”
The Chicago Blackhawks’ Pat-
rick Kane and two of his team-
mates were famously skewered
when shirtless photos of them
posing with several women in a
limousine emerged following a
visit to the bar, highlighting the
flu’s perilous side effects.
“It is part of managing your
brand as a player,” Knuble said.
“You have to be a lot more
careful.”

PANTHERS 3,
ISLANDERS 2 (OT)
A SSOCIATED P RESS
Mike Hoffman scored a power-
play goal 33 seconds into over-
time Wednesday night and lifted
the Florida Panthers to a 3-2 road
victory over the New York Island-
ers.
The winning goal was the
fourth of the season for Hoffman.
Frank Vatrano and Evgenii Da-
donov added goals for the Pan-
thers, who won for just the second
time this season. Backup goalten-
der James Reimer made 20 saves
in his first win of the year.
“As a team, we just kept bat-
tling and kept fighting, and final-
ly we were rewarded,” Reimer
said. “We just needed to stick with
it. There’s no magic potion. You
just have to keep doing your
thing.”
Brock Nelson and Jordan Eber-
le scored for the Islanders. Robin
Lehner finished with 38 saves on
41 shots.
The Panthers were called for
delay of game with just under
three minutes left in regulation,
but the Islanders wiped out that
power play when Mathew Barzal
was sent off for interference at
18:35.
That penalty led to the power-
play chance in overtime and Hoff-
man’s goal that completed a
three-goal rally by the Panthers.
Nelson and Eberle staked the
Islanders to a 2-0 lead heading
into the third period, but the
Panthers struck twice on goals by
Vatrano and Dadonov to knot the
score.
Nelson opened the scoring late
in the first with his third goal of
the season at 18:36. Josh Bailey
picked up the assist.
Eberle increased the lead at
11:42 of the second against Reim-
er, finishing off a pretty passing
sequence with his first goal of the
season. Barzal and Anders Lee
assisted.
Last season’s Calder Trophy
winner as the league’s top rookie,
Barzal leads the Islanders with
eight points through the team’s
first eight games.
The Islanders were coming off
four-game road trip in which they
lost three times. It was their first
home game since Oct. 8, when
they defeated the San Jose
Sharks, 4-0, when Lehner made
35 saves.
The Panthers finally broke
through against Lehner at 2:46 of
the third, when Vatrano knocked
in a rebound for his third goal of
the season.
Then Dadonov scored his
team-leading fourth goal at 10:35
to tie the game. Assists went to
Aleksander Barkov and MacKen-
zie Weggar.
Florida was coming off a 5-2
loss to the New York Rangers on
Tuesday night at Madison Square
Garden.
The Panthers will complete
their metropolitan area trip with
a game against the Devils in New
Jersey on Saturday before head-
ing to Finland for two games
against the Winnipeg Jets.
Florida’s previous victory was a

He paused, then added,
sounding like the proud alumnus
that he is, “And boy was it a great
night.”
It was a night that ended with
thousands of Purdue fans
storming the field at Ross-Ade
Stadium after the Boilermakers
had stunned then-No. 2 Ohio
State, 49-20, on Saturday —
pulling away from the Buckeyes
with a 28-point fourth quarter.
“It was one of those nights you
didn’t want to see end,” Purdue
Coach Jeff Brohm said
Wednesday morning, admitting
that he and his team still hadn’t
come down completely from the
victory. “I told the players after
the game that this was special
and we weren’t going to act as if it
was just another win.
“We did some very light
conditioning on Sunday, and
then I told them to take off until
Tuesday, to just savor what they’d
accomplished. Of course, we
came back to practice Tuesday,
and, just as you’d expect, we
didn’t practice well at all.”
He laughed. “It was the kind of
game you wish was the last one of
the season. But it’s not.”
In fact, Purdue (4-3) has five
games left, beginning Saturday at
Michigan State. But there’s no
doubt that the Boilermakers have
come a long way since Brohm
was hired in December 2016 to
take over a reeling program.
Purdue had just finished 3-9,
not even its worst record during
four seasons in which it went 9-
39, including 3-30 in the Big Ten.
Brohm had just completed his
third season at Western
Kentucky, going 10-3 and
winning a second straight
Conference USA title. His record
was 30-10, and, at 45, he was a
hot, upcoming coach.
“There were these
opportunities, so I started asking
people I trusted what they

The drive from College Park to
Crofton takes about 30 minutes
— one of the things that made
Maryland an attractive choice
compared with other schools that
offered him scholarships, such as
Northwestern, Penn State and
Michigan State. Kasim, a redshirt
freshman, said he can’t imagine
being even just a few hours away
from home, his family and his
sister.
After Kasim tore the ACL in his
right knee three games into last
season, he and his sister talked
almost every day. She reminded
him, “You need to get back,” and
that motivated him. But he also

he became a big brother at age 8.
He realized his struggle was tem-
Coach Jeff Brohm was mobbed Saturday after Purdue — a school that
has produced 24 astronauts — toppled then-No. 2 Ohio State, 49-20.
thought. I can honestly say
90 percent or more said,
‘Definitely do not take the Purdue
job.’ ”
It wasn’t as if Purdue had
never had success in football. It
had just been a while.
Griese, who graduated from
Purdue in January 1967, had
taken the Boilermakers to their
first Rose Bowl appearance and
victory — 14-13 over Southern Cal
— as a senior. He went on to help
the Miami Dolphins win back-to-
back Super Bowls.
“Trivia question for you,” he
said. “Name the two schools that
have produced three Super Bowl-
winning quarterbacks.”
One is a football superpower:
Alabama, with Bart Starr, Joe
Namath and Ken Stabler.
The other?
“Len Dawson, Bob Griese,
Drew Brees,” Griese said. “That
would be Purdue University. If
you want to be an astronaut or an
NFL quarterback, Purdue is the
place for you.”
Purdue has produced 24
astronauts — including Neil
Armstrong — and is known as
“the cradle of astronauts.”
Twenty-four astronauts — and
two Rose Bowl appearances. The
second came in January 2001 — a
34-24 loss to Washington — with
Brees at quarterback and was
part of an 11-season run under
Joe Tiller in which the
Boilermakers went to 10 bowl
games.

That has historically made it,
in sports terms, the “other”
Indiana school. It is 110 miles
south of Notre Dame and its
iconic football program and
115 miles northwest of Indiana
and its famous basketball
program.
Tiller retired after going 4-8 in
2008, and Purdue fell on hard
times. During the next eight falls,
there was one winning season
(7-6 in 2011) and one 1-11 season
(2013). The 2016 season ended
with Purdue’s fourth straight loss
to archrival Indiana, which, as a
football school, is very good in
basketball.
All of that would explain why
Brohm’s friends urged him not to
consider Purdue. It also explains
why he took the job.
“You know there are places you
can go to — Ohio State, USC,
Florida and some others — where
you’re almost certainly going to
win,” he said. “The more I looked
at Purdue, the more intrigued I
became. I thought, ‘This is a place
that needs someone to come in
and be a difference-maker. This is
a real challenge for a coach. Let’s
go and find out if I can really
coach or not.’ ”
So far, the answer is an
emphatic yes. Purdue went 7-6 a
year ago in Brohm’s first season,
winning four Big Ten games,
including an upset at Iowa two
weeks after the Hawkeyes had
routed Ohio State.
This year, however, did not get
“Against Northwestern, I called a
bad game. We had three first-half
interceptions. Our quarterback
[redshirt senior David Blough]
didn’t play very well, but I didn’t
help him at all.
“Against Eastern Michigan, I
coached not to lose, so of course
we lost. Then our offense was
good against Missouri, but our
defense was bad.”
Brohm decided to start over: to
be aggressive on both offense and
defense. “I said: ‘Screw it. Let’s
throw the ball all over the place
on offense, blitz and attack every
chance we got on defense,’ ” he
said. “I wanted to be sure we went
up swinging every chance we got.
If we went down on strikes,
they’d all be swinging strikes.”
The turnaround began with a
win over then-No. 23 Boston
College, followed by victories
over Nebraska and Illinois. Then
came Ohio State.
With Purdue leading 7-3 late in
the second quarter, Brohm called
for a fake field goal, and it worked
— holder Joe Schopper picked up
four yards on fourth and three
from the Ohio State 13. On the
next play, Blough found
freshman wide receiver Rondale
Moore for a nine-yard touchdown
pass.
“The call fit with what we’ve
been doing,” Brohm said. “Stay
aggressive. I wanted a two-score
lead at halftime, so I figured,
‘Let’s go after it.’ Fortunately, it
worked.”
Moore is the kind of star who
often ends up at more glamorous
schools than Purdue. He initially
committed verbally to Texas, but
after Brohm took over, he
changed his mind. The fact that
he went to the same high school
as Brohm probably didn’t hurt.
Only 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds, he
is averaging eight catches and
104 yards — and has eight total
touchdowns — as a true
freshman.
“I’m just so proud of what’s
going on,” Griese said. “I think all
of us just want to see a winning
quarter.’ ”
He paused. “But then it got
better and better and better. It
was amazing. All I felt was
incredible pride.”
That pride was evident in his
voice Tuesday afternoon. Griese
played for the Dolphins for 14
seasons, coached under Don
Shula for one season and then
began a lengthy and successful
career doing NFL games for NBC
and then as the analyst alongside
Keith Jackson for ABC’s No. 1
college football broadcast team.
“We did Purdue games twice in
all those years,” Griese
remembered. “And that was
when Drew [Brees] was there.”
Soon after the game Saturday,
Brees tweeted: “Congrats Boiler
football. You make us proud.
Tyler Trent, you willed it to
happen. It did. Proud to be a
Boilermaker.”
Trent is a 20-year-old Purdue
student fighting a rare form of
bone cancer who was forced to
drop out of school recently after
the cancer spread to his spine
and forced him into a wheelchair.
He was in the locker room after
the victory, and Brohm, after
introducing him as a new team
captain, asked him to speak to
the team.
“Thanks for leaving it all out
on the field tonight,” Trent said,
“and for showing people what it
means to be a Boilermaker.”
Right now, being a
Boilermaker means feeling very
proud. It is the kind of pride that
comes from understanding that
going through the bad times is
what makes the good times so
sweet.
Which explains why Brohm
didn’t want the night to end. “I
think I went to bed at 6 a.m.,” he
said. “It was better than winning
the lottery. It’s a night I’ll never
forget.”
Clearly, he’s not alone.

the season and John Tavares, Kas-
peri Kapanen and Tyler Ennis
also scored to lift Toronto in Win-
nipeg.
Frederik Andersen stopped
38 shots to help the Maple Leafs
improve to 7-3-0.
Nikolaj Ehlers and Mark
Scheifele scored for the Jets, and
Connor Hellebuyck made
35 saves. The Jets were 4-1-1 on a
six-game homestand, leaving
them 6-3-1 overall.
The teams will meet again Sat-
urday night in Toronto.
“It’s real simple for us,” Maple
Leafs Coach Mike Babcock said.
“If you want to play right and you
want to play hard, suddenly you
look fast again. We’ve looked real
slow the last two games.”
Kapanen opened the scoring
with five minutes left in the first
period, threading a shot through
traffic.
Ennis made it 2-0 at 2:25 of the
second, redirecting a point shot
from Josh Leivo.
Kadri got a clean look and
slipped a wrister past Hellebuy-
ck’s glove to make it 3-0 midway
through the period.
The Jets finally got on the
board at 4:57 of the third period
when Ehlers flipped one past An-
dersen from just in front of the
Toronto net for his first of the
season.
porary, while Kaylah’s will be
lifelong.
“At the end of the day, it’s just a
game,” Kasim said. “There are
way bigger challenges and bigger
things you’re going to have to
overcome in life. I think I learned
that from a young age.”
During football games, Kasim
places a sheet of paper with
Kaylah’s name on it on a wrist-
band he attaches to his belt. He
said he always can hear his sister
in the stands.
Kaylah loves sports, whether
she’s watching or participating.
She plays tennis in the spring,
and when Kasim was a senior in
high school, he would pick up
Kaylah from school and take her
to taekwondo practice. Even now
that he lives in College Park,
Kasim has made it to all his
sister’s belt testings.
Kaylah understands football,
especially the offense and, even
more so, her brother’s position.
At Maryland games, she would
rather pay close attention to the
action than have conversations
with those around her. If her
brother gets hit, Kaylah displays
outsize emotion.
“When they had the Texas
game and his helmet got knocked
off, she jumped up. She’s like, ‘I’m
going out there! They hit my
brother!’ ” Michele said, thinking
During a recent visit to his
family’s home in Crofton,
Terrapins redshirt
freshman quarterback
Kasim Hill enjoyed a
spirited game of Uno along
with his sister, Kaylah, 12,
and parents, Michele and
Joe.
back to a targeting call when her
son ran with the ball. “She was
really, really mad. She does not
like that at all. And she’s very
vocal about it.”
When Kaylah finds Kasim af-
terward, she hugs him and offers
feedback. She tells him how well
he performed, and if a defender
slams Kasim to the ground, Kay-
lah says he has got to throw the
ball away or get down to protect
himself.
“She takes it a little bit easier
on me if we lost,” Kasim said. “But
if we won and I had a bad game,
she’ll let me know I’ve got to play
better.”
As the starter, Kasim has had
an up-and-down season, com-
pleting 61 of 118 passes for
701 yards and six touchdowns
with three interceptions in an
offense that has relied more heav-
ily on running plays. His passing
ability has been criticized on
message boards and social media.
Still, Maryland heads into its
home game against Illinois this
weekend with a 4-3 record and a
clear path to bowl eligibility.
After games, the Hills usually
hang out as a family and have
dinner together in College Park.
By the time Kasim comes home
on Mondays, football is an after-
thought.
As the family gathered around
the kitchen table last week to play
Uno, a favorite activity among the
four, Michele asked her son about
the team’s upcoming travel ar-
rangements before the card game
quickly became more important.
They like how Uno creates a
level playing field, and Kaylah
loves to talk trash. She shouted,
“Boom!” and stretched her arms
outward as she took a successful
turn. When her brother won the
first round, Kaylah quickly re-
sponded by saying, “Kasim cheat-
ed!” (He didn’t.)
The three rounds of play in-
cluded alliances (then broken
ones), screams, laughs, excited
foot stomps and loud announce-
ments of color changes. When
Kaylah won the final game, she
showed off a celebratory dance.
Before having burgers for din-
ner, Kasim curled his 6-foot-2
frame onto the couch and migrat-
ed to the floor as he wrestled with
Kaylah. He played gently with his
little sister but jokingly objected
to the way his mom described the
activity as a joint decision.
“I see it as attack,” he said,
pointing to Kaylah, “and defense,”
pointing to himself. A few minutes
later, Kaylah called the family
downstairs for a different game.
Kasim and his mom followed.
“She rules the roost,” Michele
said.
“And I’ve accepted it,” Kasim
said.
On World Down Syndrome
Day in March, Kasim encouraged
his teammates and others to raise
awareness by wearing bright mis-
matched socks. After football, he
thinks he might try to create a
business that in some way helps
kids like his sister.
In public, strangers will stare
at Kaylah, almost as if they’re
“trying to figure her out,” said her
father, Joe. As Kaylah has gotten
older, she notices. If Kasim is with
her, he will put an arm around
her or maybe they will find a way
to laugh about it.
On Saturdays, Kasim finds
himself in front of thousands in a
position that often gets too much
blame and too much credit, said
interim coach Matt Canada, who
has worked with quarterbacks for
about 20 years. The ability to
self-analyze becomes a necessity.
Quarterbacks need to “worry
about what’s going on in our
building and not really what ev-
erybody else thinks,” Canada
said. Kaylah must do the same.
With the national spotlight on
Maryland’s program since the
death of offensive lineman Jor-
dan McNair, “this is a rather
unusual circumstance to carry
that kind of weight,” said Joe, who
was a safety at Columbia Univer-
sity. This season, he has noticed
Kaylah showing even more affec-
tion toward her brother.
For both siblings, the attention
probably won’t fade anytime
soon. Neither will the unsolicited
questions and criticism. But
there’s comfort in another con-
stant. Outstretched arms always
will be waiting.
“They’re support for each oth-
er,” Michele said, “and they pro-
tect each other.”

Manfred addresses sign-stealing controversy, pace of play and free agency
BY D AVE S HEININ
boston — Major League Base-
ball Commissioner Rob Manfred
said Wednesday he considers the
postseason sign-stealing contro-
versy involving the Houston As-
tros to be a closed matter, with no
evidence of a violation, but sug-
gested the league could revise its
rules regarding the use of tech-
nology in stadiums next season
to prevent future incidents.
“Sign stealing in and of itself is
not a violation of our rules. It’s
been a part of the game since
Lassie was a puppy,” Manfred
said before Game 2 of the World
Series at Fenway Park. “Where it
becomes a problem is where
there is a use of technology that
Price delivers another strong start as Boston takes 2-0 lead
SERIES FROM D1
has ever beaten the 2018 Red Sox.
Over two nights here, the Los
Angeles Dodgers sure have
seemed incapable of it, not that
that makes them an exception.
Boston’s sublime season contin-
ued Wednesday night with a 4-2
victory that puts it ahead two
games to none in the best-of-sev-
en series and leaves it two wins
away from the franchise’s fourth
World Series title in 15 seasons.
The Red Sox now face as many
as three games at Dodger Sta-
dium, beginning with Game 3 on
Friday night. Then again, they are
5-0 on the road this postseason, so
they probably aren’t quite quak-
ing at the prospect. After a 108-
win regular season, they are 9-2
overall this postseason, having
outscored opponents by a com-
bined 68-41.
Anymore, it’s jarring to see a
smart team such as the Dodgers
allow their starting pitcher to face
the top of the potent Red Sox
lineup for a third time — didn’t
they scout the American League
Championship Series? The Dodg-
ers did so with lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu
in Wednesday night’s fifth inning,
holding a 2-1 lead, and it backfired
spectacularly — with Ryu loading
the bases with two outs on a pair
of singles and a walk, before they
finally called on right-hander
Ryan Madson, who was making
his ninth appearance in the Dodg-
ers’ 13 postseason games.
THOMAS BOSWELL
World Series again shows it’s a Boston sports world, and we’re all just living in it
BOSWELL FROM D1
American sports tragedy, are
trying to be Boston’s
10th champion in a major pro
sport since 2004. After a 4-2
victory in Game 2 of this World
Series, with David Price the
winning pitcher with six strong
innings and J.D. Martinez the
hitting hero with a two-out, two-
run single to snap a 2-2 tie in the
fifth inning, Boston is at it
again. The Red Sox lead the
best-of-seven series 2-0, and,
much as Red Sox fans love to
cheer in Fenway Park, you may
find it hard to find many who
think that this series will return
to the Back Bay.
More likely, Boston has
another one of those big Duck
Boat parades, everybody gets
mighty happy all winter, and,
ho-hum, the Hub wins it all
again.
Since 2004, the Patriots have
four Super Bowl rings (and
three losses), the Red Sox have
three diamond-encrusted
baubles and the Celtics and
Bruins have one title apiece. It’s
like a long-neglected New
England social program: no fan
left behind.

otherwise violates our rules to
aid the sign-stealing process.”
The incidents in question in-
volved a Houston Astros em-
ployee caught during both the
American League Division Series
in Cleveland and the AL Champi-
onship Series in Boston aiming a
smartphone into the opposing
dugout from a nearby camera
well. The Astros later said the
employee was only making sure
the Indians and Red Sox were not
using improper means to steal
the Astros’ signs.
“Technology is evolving at a
rate in a way that it is incumbent
upon us to constantly review and
update our rules,” Manfred said.
“. . . It will be a continuing topic
of discussion in the offseason
“Madson’s been our guy for
quite some time,” Dodgers Man-
ager Dave Roberts said. “He’s
pitched out of some big spots
there. The usage right there, I’m
not worried about that.”
Anymore, it was a given what
would happen next. Madson, fac-
ing the heart of Boston’s patient,
relentless offense, walked Steve
Pearce to force in the tying run,
then surrendered a go-ahead,
two-run single to designated hit-
ter J.D. Martinez, with the ball
falling in front of Dodgers right
fielder Yasiel Puig, who appeared
to be playing about halfway into
the visitors’ bullpen.
Martinez’s hit lifted Boston’s
batting average this postseason
with runners in scoring position
and two outs to a staggering .425
(17 for 40). Only hours earlier,
Madson had equated pitching to
Martinez to being “in a pit with a
rattlesnake.” He might as well
have been speaking about the en-
tire Boston lineup.
“Anything to keep the line mov-
ing,” Benintendi said of Boston’s
two-out approach. “[Ryu] threw
some good pitches, and I was able
to get some good swings off him,
foul them off. Just that next-guy-
up mentality. It doesn’t always
have to be a hit or an RBI. Just
contribute. We just try to lock in
and try to be a tough out. Those
are good pitchers we’re facing. Try
to put together good at-bats and
try to make the at-bats as difficult
as possible.”
all his life. So, what does
“spoiled” feel like, I asked, since
most of us can’t imagine it.
Maybe you get a ticket, Lee said,
but, more likely, you don’t. So as
a lovely consolation prize, you
pick which sports bar or watch
party you’ll join, which family
members will come and how
many hours of fun you think can
endure. Then he listed his
favorite places to watch a
Boston team win it all. It seemed
like a long list.
“It should be fun,” he said.
Again.
These days every
foreshadowing seems to tend
Boston’s way. Before Game 2, the
Red Sox introduced many
members of their 2004 World
Series champs, including Pedro
Martinez and David Ortiz from
the legendary team that
“Reversed the Curve.” Even the
manager of the rival Los Angeles
Dodgers — Dave Roberts — was
symbolically sucked into the
celebration of his enemies. If
there is a moment when the
trajectory of Boston sports
history flipped, it was Roberts’s
stolen base off Mariano Rivera
when the New York Yankees
were one out away from
sweeping Boston in the 2004
ALCS.

and probably have some changes

Manfred acknowledged the
link between an increased suspi-
cion of widespread sign stealing
and the glacial pace of play this
postseason, with pitchers and
catchers using complex, ever-
changing signals to protect their
signs.
“People [are] working really
hard to gain an advantage in
terms of winning a game, obvi-
ously within the rules,” Manfred
said. “Playoff games, because it’s
a huge stage, are always going to
be a little longer. Having said
that, we need to make every
effort that we can to make our
games as crisp and have as little
dead time as possible.”
David Price allowed two runs in six innings to win his second
straight playoff start after failing to win the first 11 of his career.
Anymore, it’s defensible to call
Price a postseason stopper. Once
blasted and ridiculed as incapable
of delivering on baseball’s biggest
stage — a label that owed to his
winless record in the first 11 starts
of his career in the postseason —
he has now twirled back-to-back
gems, after holding the Houston
Astros scoreless for six innings in
Game 5 of the ALCS, then limiting
the Dodgers to a pair of runs
Roberts scored, the Red Sox
escaped and the 2004 Yankees
claimed the title as baseball’s
biggest chokers. So, as Roberts
ran out toward the mound to
hug old teammates like Jason
Varitek, it felt like the arc of
baseball fortune still tilted
toward the Red Sox, denied for
86 years, rather than the sun-
kissed Dodgers, who are coming
up on 30 years without a title.
Some find current Boston
fans a bit hard to take, perhaps
put off by their sense of
entitlement to all their
championships. Maybe I just go
back too far to resent any of
their reactions. In 1967, the
Impossible Dream Season, I was
busing tables in college talking
to the dining hall employees
who suffered with and stuck
beside their “Sawx.”
Back then, there was no
Boston bandwagon. In 1975, for
a team that won the AL
pennant, the Red Sox averaged
21,587 fans a game, a third below
capacity.
The first World Series game I
ever covered, Game 1 in 1975,
was a shock. The Fenway press
box was only a few rows deep
and, in the back row, there were
empty seats. For Game 2, an old
college friend walked in beside

Manfred’s remarks came to a
small group of reporters follow-
ing a ceremony in which St. Louis
Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina
was named the recipient of the
2018 Roberto Clemente Award
for his humanitarian efforts in
aiding his native Puerto Rico in
the aftermath of Hurricane Ma-
ria.
Manfred also acknowledged
that changes in the deployment
of pitchers — with starting pitch-
ing de-emphasized and relievers
entering games earlier and more
frequently — has raised ques-
tions both about how to market a
product that historically has
been built around starting pitch-
ing matchups and how to com-
pensate pitchers in this era of
MADDIE MEYER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
across six innings Wednesday
night.
Price hadn’t allowed a hit until
David Freese’s sinking liner to
right leading off the fourth, and it
led to the Dodgers’ first run when,
three batters later, Matt Kemp
came to the plate with the bases
loaded and nobody out and hit a
sacrifice fly to center. Two batters
after that, Puig fisted a fastball
into shallow center, plating the
me, showing no credentials, just
acting at home. He took one of
the empty seats. Nobody cared.
By then, he was a psychiatrist.
In hindsight, I was crazy. Now,
we’d both likely end up in
Guantanamo.
The mood of Boston sports
has transformed to an almost
unimaginable degree since then.
Now, the sorts of spooky, far-
from-fair things happen to Red
Sox opponents that used to
befall the Sox. For example, it’s
not every day they invite a guy
to be interviewed before a game
and five hours later he’s spoken
his own World Series obituary.
But that happened to helpful vet
Ryan Madson, the ex-National
who had a poor showing in
Game 1 but had the genial good
grace to go through every detail
of it before Game 2.
Maybe that long interview
session made him think too
much. As it happened, he got hit
pretty hard Wednesday night,
too. He theorized before Game 2
that the Boston cold made it
hard for him to get loose,
especially his knees. The damp
here has left the Fenway mound
sticky so that clay clung to his
cleats. “It was a difficult track,”
said Madson.
Madson discussed the

fluid roles. Several high-profile
pitchers have theorized the
changes will have a downward
effect on starting pitcher sala-
ries.
“I do think that starting pitch-
ers being on the field less pre-
sents yet another challenge for
us,” Manfred said. “Some of our
greatest stars are starters, and if
they are out there less, it has a
predictable effect. . . . We have a
market system. The market’s go-
ing to answer that question. I’m
not sure that trend is persistent
enough to have a market effect.
But we’re going to have another
[free agent] market here in a few
weeks, and we’ll see what hap-
pens.”
Manfred also said he has had
Dodgers’ second run. When the
inning finally ended, Price made a
detour to home plate to have a
conversation with umpire Kerwin
Danley.
It was the first time the Red Sox
had found themselves trailing
since the sixth inning of Game 4 of
the ALCS.
Anymore, it’s fair to wonder
whether the grand plan the Dodg-
ers have followed all month, a
platoon-based offense with
wholesale midgame changes that
resemble a hockey team changing
lines, has met its match with Bos-
ton’s pitching staff, against which
it appears to be too smart by half.
Facing a lefty for the second
straight night, the Dodgers again
went with an all-right-handed
lineup. On their bench sat, among
other players, their four top home
run hitters — Max Muncy (35
homers), Cody Bellinger (25), Joc
Pederson (25) and Yasmani Gran-
dal (24), three lefties and a switch-
hitter. Even when the Dodgers
deployed them all in the game’s
second half, the Red Sox stayed
with their right-handed relievers,
without so much as a single Dodg-
er reaching base.
“The difference is, they got a
couple of hits with runners in
scoring position, and we didn’t,”
Roberts said, “and now we’re
down 0-2.”
Anymore, it’s acceptable for
anyone with a heartbeat to sit in
for Red Sox Manager Alex Cora
and pull the levers on Boston’s
behavior of Red Sox fans in the
bleachers a few feet from where
he warms up and how he‘s
“buddy-buddy” with the bullpen
security cop, getting him
sunflower seeds and Red Bulls,
so he’ll be enthusiastic about his
job. Madson — yes, he’s a
favorite of mine, a good guy —
evaluated his own mental state
in every postseason in which
he’d played. In the first ones,
“you can’t feel your legs and
your attention is on everything
else but what you need to do.”
Madson even analyzed how
he felt when striking out the
Red Sox best hitter, J.D.
Martinez, in Game 1 — the very
same man that he was most
likely to face in a crisis in
Game 2. “You know you’re in a
pit with a rattlesnake,” said
Madson, “and one bad move,
and you’ll get bit.”
In Game 1, the Red Sox bit
him with an RBI groundout and
a two-out RBI single by Rafael
Devers that plated runs which
were charged to Clayton
Kershaw and ultimate tagged
him with a loss.
Sure enough, Madson was
called into the same pit to face
the same mid-order vipers in
Game 2 with the game once
more on the line. On Tuesday, he

an ongoing dialogue over the
past few months with union chief
Tony Clark, who has raised con-
cerns in the past over the slow-
moving nature of last winter’s
free agent market — but who also
has been hesitant to embrace
some of Manfred’s ideas for
streamlining the on-field prod-
uct.
“I’ve spent a lot of time be-
tween the All-Star Game and
[now] talking directly to Tony
trying to map out the things we’d
like to have meaningful conver-
sations about during the offsea-
son. . . . That dialogue has been
positive, and I’m looking forward
to having these conversations in
the offseason.”

late-inning bullpen moves, so au-
tomatic have they become. Right-
hander Joe Kelly went strikeout-
groundout-strikeout to close out
the seventh. Right-hander Na-
than Eovaldi, a starter-reliever
hybrid who has excelled at both
roles this month, retired the top of
the Dodgers’ lineup in the eighth,
then walked off as 38,644 giddy
fans belted out the opening lines
to “Sweet Caroline.”
All that was left were the final
three outs from closer Craig Kim-
brel and the familiar handshake
line at midfield, the crowd filter-
ing out of the ancient ballpark
and spilling out into the streets,
aware no doubt that they may
have seen the last of their beloved
Red Sox for the year.
Though anything can still hap-
pen and the Dodgers will not
concede and the Red Sox will not
take anything for granted, any-
more it’s hard to ignore what this
World Series looks like two games
in. Anymore, it’s hard to envision
a scenario in which the Red Sox
lose four games in a five-game
span.
Anymore, it’s time to wonder
whether this series will even make
it back to Boston for a potential
Game 6. Anymore, it’s fair to ask
whether by the middle of next
week, there could be another Red
Sox championship parade, the
fourth in the lifetime of a young
New Englander just now learning
to drive, down Boylston Street.
dave.sheinin@washpost.com
inherited two runners with no
outs and both scored.
After Madson finally got his
one out, he walked off the
mound shaking his head slowly.
His World Series ERA is 0.00.
He has inherited five runners
through two games, and all of
them have scored.
Now, there are rainbows over
Boston and both the Red Sox
and their fans seem to get their
fondest wishes. Now, the nice
people who suffer — such as
Madson — wear the opposing
uniforms. It took decades for
this cycle of success to turn —
and become ingrained as an
assumption of victory. Now,
Boston fans admit they are
spoiled, yet enjoy the wins just
as much. They sing “Sweet
Caroline” at the top of their
lungs before the bottom of the
eighth inning and assume that
their voices will invoke the
forces needed for another big
win.
Things can change. Baseball
allows it. But for now, this World
Series lives in a Boston world.
The Red Sox breath deep and
enjoy. Nobody else gets out alive.

overtime win over the Portland
Trail Blazers. Morris had a team-
high 28 points — and attracted a
$15,000 fine from the league for
an unsportsmanlike play at the
end of regulation.
A year ago, three games into
his season, Morris had attempted
only seven three-pointers.
“I was just impressed that he
took 10 threes,” Brooks said of
Morris’s performance Monday.
“I’ve been telling him now for two
years: ‘Keef, c’mon. Let’s go. The
midrange game is good every now
and then, but you might as well
get the extra point two or three
more feet out.’ And he’s really
been buying in the last two years.”
Besides his mentality switch
from midrange specialist to
three-point shooter, Morris cred-
its his health as a factor for his
early-season blitz.
“I feel 100 times better than
[how] I felt last year,” Morris said.
Plus, his daughter, Jyzelle,
sleeps through the night. So now
he gets rest.
Morris could be up for a pay
raise next summer as an unre-
stricted free agent. Although the
Wizards will have several free
agents, including fourth-year
player Kelly Oubre Jr., and a
bloated team payroll, Morris said
he would like to stay in Washing-
ton. Still, he equates his free
agency to how the team performs
and recognizes how the season
know, coaches are still caught up
with their jobs that they don’t
know. He’s a players’ coach. He’s a
guy that actually played the game
and knows what’s going on be-
hind closed doors and with your
families, your kids and all that
type of stuff. So he can relate to it.”
A players’ coach such as Brooks
doesn’t unnecessarily browbeat a
player. After Morris tugged on the
shorts of Portland guard Seth
Curry to disrupt him during the
Blazers’ final play of regulation
Monday, Brooks admitted he
didn’t “like” the play. However,
according to Morris, Brooks
didn’t mumble a single rebuke to
him about the incident.
“He just doesn’t say anything,
because he knows I know I
shouldn’t be doing [stuff ] like
that,” Morris said. “I didn’t think
it was that serious, but we’re all
grown men, and that’s the thing
about him: Childish things, he
knows that I know that I
shouldn’t be doing that, so he
doesn’t even address it. I just
know he knows.”
In a year, a lot has changed. It
hasn’t affected how Morris views
the big picture.
“I’m fortunate to be in this
position anyway. I’m fortunate to
have a beautiful baby, a great wife
and a great family,” Morris said.
“So at the end of the day, I always
have that to fall back on.”

To avoid being inundated by product manuals and warranties — or missing one in time of need — sort through paperwork ahead of time.
Appliance on the fritz? Reach for your file on that.
BY N ICOLE A NZIA
P
roduct manuals for appli-
ances and other major
household devices are a
little bit like martini
glasses. You never use them, but
the minute you get rid of them,
you realize you need them.
the washington post . thursday, october 25 , 2018
So although some people
choose to dispose of the hard
copies and find their manuals
online when necessary, the ma-
jority of my clients still prefer to
keep the original hard copy they
received with the purchase of
their air conditioner, refrigerator
or stove.
Here are suggestions for which
manuals to keep, and how to
organize them.
What to keep and toss
Let’s be reasonable: It is not
necessary to keep the paperwork
that comes with a product such
as a fan, hair dryer or coffee pot.
If the item has an on/off switch
and you know how it works, toss
the paperwork.
Manuals and warranties for
bigger (and more complex) appli-
ances such as your dishwasher,
clothes dryer, air conditioner and
hot-water heater can be stored in
labeled files and organized by
category. Categories might in-
clude “Technology,” “Kitchen,”
“HVAC,” “Outdoor” and “Miscel-
laneous Small Appliances.” Use
category names that make sense
to you, and keep your files cur-
rent by throwing away old docu-
ments when an appliance is re-
placed.
If you are on the fence about
items that fall in between some-
thing such as a fan and a major
appliance, think about how often
you might need the manual. For
instance, you might want to keep
a bike manual for occasional
reference. It also may make sense
to keep the manual for a kitchen
appliance that you only use once
or twice a year.
And there are some items for
which you’ll want to keep the
manual for as long as you have
the item, such as a crib or car seat.
Some baby and toddler items
have important height, weight or
age recommendations, and if you
eventually give them away or sell
them, it’s best to also pass along
the paperwork.
ORGANIZING
How to organize hard copies
Before tossing a jumble of
information into a file, sort
through the paperwork that
comes with your purchase. Keep
the manual and warranty, and
recycle all extraneous informa-
tion. Also, write the purchase
date and vendor on the front of
the manual before filing it.
The files will be bulky, and
you’re not going to access them
frequently, so they don’t need to
be stored with your other house-
hold files. Instead, Kacy Paide,
owner of the Inspired Office,
recommends keeping them in a
secondary filing cabinet or in a
clearly labeled box on a shelf in a
closet or in the basement.
For some reason, binders with
clear pockets have become a go-
to tool for organizing product
information. But Paide does not
recommend going to all the trou-
ble unless you’re already success-
fully using binders to organize
other paperwork. It can be “over-
kill,” she says, and you still have
to find a place to keep the big
binders.
Regardless of how you choose
to organize your information,
just taking the time to do it will
not only prove useful when re-
pairs are needed, but also if you
sell your home.
Ways to store electronically
It is true that most of us will
rarely, if ever, look at the manual
for things such as our washer and
dryer or water heater, which is
why some people reason that
keeping the bulky paperwork is
unnecessary.
Instead, some people opt to
record model numbers, serial
numbers and dates of purchase
electronically, and then use on-
line product manuals to find the
pertinent information when nec-
essary.
The key to making this work is
to accurately and consistently
record the relevant information.
Some people will create a simple
document or spreadsheet, while
others prefer using a digital tool
such as Evernote, in which they
can type the essential informa-
tion or upload photos of box
labels or the front of the product
manual. As with any organizing
task, pick one option and stick
with it.
ISTOCK
Once you’ve recorded this in-
formation, and before you recycle
the hard copy of a manual, Paide
recommends taking the time to
do an online search for your
specific model’s manual to make
sure you’re actually able to locate
it. And when you do, save it in a
labeled electronic file.
Whether you decide to keep
manuals as hard copies or elec-
tronic ones, having a system in
place will prove invaluable next
time a battery needs changing or
an appliance inexplicably starts
beeping.

HOME FRONT
Pum Lefebure on making a big impact with a limited color palette
Pum Lefebure,
the chief
creative officer
of the Wash-
ington graphic
design and
branding firm
Design Army,
Pum Lefebure joined staff
writer Jura
Koncius last week on our Home
Front online chat. Her Brook-
land home, which incorporates
lots of black and white, was
featured on last week’s cover.
Here is an edited excerpt.
Q: How do you keep your white
sofas clean with a dog?
A: If you have a dog, nothing is
ever clean. But Luna does not
get on the white couch often;
she’s mainly in the basement
with Jake, my husband. But to
cut back on fur, get some nice
throws that are the same color
to cover your couch.
Q: Do you design your home
with your favorite color? How
did you do it?
A: I like colors, but I love shades
of white. In my business, I work
with color and patterns all day.
So when I get home, I need to
cleanse my palette with a calm,
white space. Waking up to a
clean slate is also important to
me. We used Benjamin Moore’s
Bonifant White throughout the
house. It has a good balance for
direct sun or shade.
Q: Did you find it hard to stick
to black and white? Do you find
it limiting? I notice you do have
a lot of color in your artwork.
A: I love a limited color palette.
It’s more constrained, but also
more powerful. The house feels
much bigger because it is not
the washington post . thursday, october 25 , 2018
being divided by different colors
or themed rooms. As you move
from floor to floor, there is
continuity. White also is a nice
foundation to let all my art
shine (a museum approach). By
sticking to black and white, I
can play with the tone, shade
and texture, and then add color
to stand out — and draw you in.
Q: Do you stick with black and
white for your table settings?
A: Most of the time, we use
white plates, and let the color of
the food shine. For place mats,
we use cream. I love a white and
cream combination. And, of
course, we have black utensils.
However, for a Thanksgiving
dinner or a summer party, I
always use colorful porcelain
from Florence. The pieces are
different colors and feel more

says this palette has a powerful effect, and makes color, such as the yellow artwork above, stand out.
festive during holidays.
Q: Black floors are beautiful,
but are they difficult to
maintain? Do your dog’s nails
scratch them?
A: We went with black floors
knowing they would scratch and
wear over time, but it’s more
cost-effective to repaint vs.
refinish. Also, we do not wear
shoes in the house, so they stay
fairly clean (except for dog hair,
but everyone has that problem).
Q: How did you get the nice
black gloss on your floors?
A: The key to a deep black is to
stain the flooring first, install,
then stain again and seal with
gloss. It holds up really well,
and when you do get a scratch,
the deep stained wood does not
show scratch lines.
Q: Where do you shop locally
for home interiors?
A: I travel quite a bit for work,
so I usually collect my pieces
while on the go. I don’t like
online shopping because I’m a
tactile person, and I have to see
and feel the material. In
Washington, I stop at Darryl
Carter’s boutique on 9th Street
NW and Crate and Barrel for
essentials. I also like
Shopkeeper near H Street NE
for unexpected magazines and
books. For clothes, I love Relish
in Georgetown’s Cady’s Alley.
Q: How do you place your art?
A: I have a collection of 19th-
century portrait paintings and
still lifes that I get from Paris
flea markets every year. They
usually are set with gold frames,
but I take them out because I
prefer to see the sides of the raw
canvas (it’s more natural and of
the moment).
For the formal areas of the
house, we frame them by simply
placing the painting in the
middle of a matte board. The
frame is always white and
modern to offset the old.
In my loft office, I curate the
paintings on my bulletin board
wall and will move them around
every so often, depending on
what I’m working on at the
time.
Q: How do you and Jake choose
art? Do you have the same style?
A: I’m in charge of buying art.
There can only be one curator in
the house. Luckily, we do have a
similar taste and style, so he
usually likes what I buy.
JOHN MCDONNELL/THE WASHINGTON POST
Q: What was your experience
when you and Jake gutted your
home and custom-built from the
ground up? How long was the
process and were you living
elsewhere or on the property
during that time?
A: The process was long —
around 10 years — but there
were many causes. You have to
be careful to keep your
foundation intact so that you
are not classified as new
construction, because then you
have new building codes,
setbacks, etc. I also advise not to
live in the house while you are
building it. We had a second
house that we lived in during
the long build. And get a great
architect and builder who can
work together; we got lucky
with that.
Q: How did you and designer
Darryl Carter work together?
Would you send him photos of
items you wanted to buy for the
house?
A: I usually buy what I like and
figure out where to put it later.
For example, the wall art by
Sam Baron was the first thing I
bought. The long, minimal
dining table was designed by
Carter with this artwork
in mind.
Q: I have a small home. I know
design is a constant process, but
if I bring in something new, I
have to get rid of something
already there. But what if I still
like it? Do you keep stuff in
storage and rotate items in and
out of view, or just replace items
permanently?
A: We rarely toss items. At one
point, we had three storage
units, and then Jake found a
large space to rent, so we keep
all our extra items in his
workshop there. Lots of the
items we do not use are
repurposed for our photo shoots
— such as tables, chairs,
mirrors, lighting, etc.
Q: Where is your laundry room
located? It looks like a lot of
stairs.
A: Jake made sure we had a
laundry chute. It’s a very ‘70s
idea, but super functional in a
house with many levels. We can
easily gather and toss items
down to the basement laundry
room.
Q: All of my adult life, I’ve
followed my mother’s example
and lined my kitchen cabinets
and drawers with shelf liner. It’s
a chore, and I can no longer find
the tacky (not sticky) liner. Is
liner really necessary?
A: Not sure whether shelf liner
is a must-have item these days,
but I know that Jake likes the
rubber-based liners that can be
washed easily and keep your
glassware from scuffing the
inside of the drawers.
Q: My rental in Brooklyn has
dark, outdated cabinets and
tiling in the kitchen. I prefer a
lighter, more modern feel in the
kitchen. Do you have any easy
and affordable tips?
A: Try hanging a bright abstract
painting on the wall if you can’t
do much with the actual
cabinets. You also can remove
the cabinet doors for an open-
shelf style. Use all-white plates,
if you do. For the floors, try a
rug to cover up the tile, and
bring in a lighter color to the
space. Also, unify the palette:
Stick to one color, but play with
texture, shape and form of the
plates.

A visit with the garlic guru yields advice for homegrown bulbs

The second problem was that
the bulbs were always
disappointingly small, about half
the size I would like. I put this
down to the vagaries of our
latitude (too far south) and
climate (too darned hot), but I
have come to see that the
problem may have had more to
do with the gardener. Time to
consult an expert.
Tony Sarmiento, who gardens
in the Woodside neighborhood
of Silver Spring, is a guy versed
in the theory and practice of
garlic cultivation. From simple
raised beds between the
neighboring garage and his own
vine-clad garden shed, he
cultivates approximately 120
bulbs a year, setting the cloves in
loamy soil in simple grids a hand

We decided I need to grow
them in a sunnier bed, to place
them six inches apart instead of
four, and to make sure they’re
watered sufficiently once spring
arrives. After putting me
straight, he gave me some bulbs
to plant, and I promised to mend
my ways.
We agreed that the world of
seed garlic can get needlessly
complex. Garlic bought in
supermarkets is usually a
softneck type, which stores well
but has a lot of smaller cloves.

hardneck varieties, which offer a
couple of bonuses for the home
cook. The cloves are bigger, full
of flavor, and simply more
pleasant to handle and use. Also,
the stalks, or scapes, are edible
and can be used like scallions.
But the key is to harvest them
before they grow too tall,
Sarmiento said, so they remain
tender and don’t divert energy
from the bulb.

environmental conditions or
traits selected by growers,
according to plant researchers
Gayle Volk and David Stern. “All
these names are not particularly
meaningful,” Sarmiento said.
Eight of the 10 are hardnecks,
and of those, he finds all he
needs in two of them: Porcelain
types, which tend to be streaked
violet; and rocamboles, with
pronounced curly scapes.
The other thing to know is
that seed garlic is not cheap —
the selling point being that you
have disease-free named
varieties. I calculated that
planting 120 cloves might cost as
much as $70. I have known
thrifty gardeners who go to the
grocery store to pick up some
bulbs to break up and plant. This
goes against the standard advice
— such bulbs may have been
robust-looking porcelain or
rocambole type for the garden.
Once you have found one that
does well for you, select a few of
the biggest to plant the following
fall. “It’s always best to plant
garlic you’ve grown yourself
because it’s adapted to grow in
your soil or climate,” he said.
The little show-and-tell basket
in front of him contained an eye-
popping garlic the size of a
baseball and a little short of

“Have you ever grown
elephant garlic?” he said. “I
wouldn’t, it’s terrible. It’s closer
to being a leek than a garlic.”
Perish the thought.

A dietitian’s call for trick-or-treat season: Let them eat candy

BY C ARA R OSENBLOOM

I absolutely loved Halloween

when I was a kid. I grew up in a
community where every house
had a pumpkin glowing in the
window, and kids from tot to
teenager donned ghost and witch
costumes to collect chocolate
bars, chips and candy. It was a
night filled with pure joy.
So I’m saddened every October
to see a proliferation of articles
on how to make Halloween
healthier.
As a dietitian, you might as-
sume I’d be the one writing those
“healthy Halloween” articles en-
couraging neighbors to give out
toys instead of treats, or suggest-
ing that parents confiscate most
of their children’s jubilantly col-
lected loot. But that’s not what I
believe. I don’t want candy and
chocolate to be marred by guilt
and shame. Halloween should
not be about replacing caramels
with stickers. Instead, every day
should be about parents acting as
role models to teach children to
develop a healthy relationship
with food.
Americans, including chil-
dren, get more than half their
daily calories from ultra-pro-
cessed foods. Chips, chocolate,
candy, fast food and pizza are
daily staples for many Ameri-
cans. Considering this high in-
take of processed foods, allowing
candy for a few days in October
isn’t our biggest failing when
feeding our kids. Instead, we’re

when they are hungry and stop
when they are full. That way, they
can learn to eat in a balanced
way, even when it comes to Hal-
loween candy.
The best model I’ve seen for
raising healthy eaters comes
from Ellyn Satter, a social worker
and dietitian who developed the
division of responsibility. This is
a method parents can use to help
their children learn to eat the
right amounts and types of foods
to fuel their active, growing
bodies.
The model explains that par-
ents/caregivers and children
have different roles to play in the
feeding relationship. The parents
are role models: They are respon-
sible for choosing and preparing
food, deciding when and where
meals and snacks will be eaten,
is served. And if they don’t like
something or they are not hun-
gry, they can say “no thanks” —
that’s their choice because they
know their appetite better than
their parents do. You probably
paused there, right? Parents of-
ten tell children, “Finish your
broccoli,” or, “Clean your plate to
get dessert.” But as this model
explains, that’s not parents’ role.
Ideally, they will raise compe-
tent eaters who consume the
amount of food that’s right for
their body, and that can include
Halloween treats. And when par-
ents develop a predictable meal
and snack structure for kids to
follow, candy-laden holidays are
easier to navigate.
“Treats come up repeatedly
with parties, holidays and school
events, and you want your chil-
not know how to deal
when faced with them.”
Carol Danaher, a dietitian and
president of the Ellyn Satter Institute
dren to learn how to manage
them,” says dietitian Carol Dana-
her, president of the Ellyn Satter
Institute, a nonprofit focused on
feeding and eating. “If treats are
forbidden or shameful, kids will
not know how to deal when faced
with them.”
Studies show that children
who have regular access to candy
and treats tend to eat them
moderately, while children who
recognize them as forbidden
foods tend to load up when
feel shame when they eat it, that
can backfire and they may over-
eat it later. Guilt and shame don’t
help anyone learn to be a compe-
tent eater and won’t teach chil-
dren how to manage eating
sweets,” Danaher says.
Instead, if we teach children
how to eat regular meals and
snacks, offer nutritious foods,
and leave room for treats, they
will grow to understand how to
eat in a balanced way. You can
trust kids not to overdo it (even
with Halloween candy) if they
have learned to listen to their
appetite.
Enforcing strict rules around
Halloween candy is unnecessary
(except, of course, in the case of
allergies). “It’s far better to enjoy
this once-a-year holiday by joy-
ously sorting candy and eating a
the regular meal structure for a
few days after Halloween.”
When I was a child, my parents
never micromanaged my bag of
candy. I didn’t have to trade it for
a toy, and there was no “Switch
Witch” who took it away while I
was sleeping. Do you know what I
did with that candy? I ate it. I had
a few pieces each day, shared it
with my dad, and eventually lost
interest when the next awesome
kid thing came along.

Stiffness and delayed soreness can be signs of overuse injuries, which typically require therapy to heal. To avoid issues in the first place,
trainers or physical therapists can watch your movement patterns to determine areas that may be more vulnerable.
Why stiffness and soreness could indicate a more serious issue
BY G ABRIELLA B OSTON
If you’ve ever set foot in an
exercise class, you’ve surely
heard the instruction to “listen to
your body.” It’s usually an apt
one, but sometimes exercise-re-
lated injuries speak to us after the
fact or in a language we don’t
always understand — stiffness
and delayed soreness, for exam-
ple, rather than outright pain.
Often we even start compensat-
ing with different movement pat-
terns, such as altering our stride
to avoid soreness or favoring one
arm, which can cause even more
problems.
What do these delayed symp-
toms mean? How do we treat the
underlying injuries that are caus-
ing them? Or better yet, how do
we avoid such injuries?
First, pay attention. “With
overuse injuries, oftentimes
you’ll just notice diffuse soreness
and write that off as normal,” says
Justin Mullner, a D.C.-based doc-
tor who specializes in sports
medicine. “It doesn’t feel bad
enough to stop your activity.”
Sometimes, instead of making
itself known as pain, the overuse
injury causes disruptions and
changes in movement patterns. If
you have Achilles’ tendinitis, for
example, you might start plant-
ing your foot differently while
running. “With elite-level ath-
letes, these types of injuries are
often identified by a coach or
trainer and not the athletes
themselves,” Mullner says.
Another option when it comes
to ambiguous sports-injury
symptoms is when the injury
shows up as stiffness rather than
pain — at least initially. That’s
what happened to Michael
Schaeffer, a D.C. resident who did
“too much, too soon” when he
resumed running after a long
hiatus. “In the morning, my right
heel would just feel stiff. I moved
like a tin man,” Schaeffer says.
When the stiffness turned into
pain and he consulted a doctor,
he was told that Achilles’ tendini-
tis was the likely cause.
Most overuse injuries, such as
stress injuries in bones (weak-
ened but not fractured), degener-
ation and improper healing of
soft tissue (tendinopathy), and
inflammation (tendinitis) of soft
tissue — don’t usually go away by
themselves and require some
therapy. Schaeffer is rehabilitat-

activity too soon, Mullner cau-
tions. “If you can’t walk pain-free
or without a limp, you probably
shouldn’t run,” Mullner says. In-
stead, get your cardio fitness by
cycling, swimming or using a
rowing machine.
Even if you’re just sore or stiff,
rather than in pain, “the damage
to the tissue has already hap-
pened,” says Ben Fidler, a
D.C.-based personal trainer. In
this case, you should take steps to
prevent it from progressing.
Mullner and Fidler both recom-
mend having a trainer or physical
therapist look at your movement
patterns to determine weakness-
es and tight areas. “We look at
kinetic check points,” Fidler says.
“If anything moves outside the
check points, there is a higher
likelihood of injury.”
That means that, as Fidler puts
a client through an exercise, such
as an overhead squat, he assesses
the positioning of the feet in
relation to the knees, how the
torso is moving, whether the back
is arching, whether the head is
jutting forward, and so on. All of
these movement patterns — how-
ever small — tell trainers how the
client should exercise. Some-
times the client needs more
strength training, and other
times they need to improve flexi-
bility. But usually they need both
to prevent the stiffness or sore-
ness from progressing to injuries.
“Stress fractures are often

linked to ankle immobility, and
lower back pain can be caused by
hip immobility,” Fidler says. Ro-
tator cuff injuries and neck pain
can be caused by a tight thoracic
spine (middle of the back), and
knee pain can be caused by weak
gluteus muscles or tight IT (ili-
otibial) bands — soft tissue that
runs from the hip to the knee and

helps stabilize the knee. The list
is long.
Creating better movement pat-
terns throughout the body can
ease that pain. But Mullner notes
that even with the help of train-
ers, some soreness is to be expect-
ed, even desired, as we get stron-
ger and progress our drills.
So, listen to your body. If it’s
speaking to you through stiffness
and delayed soreness, it may be
time to see a specialist to avoid
stress injuries, tendinitis or ten-
dinopathy. And sooner, rather
than later: “Recovery time will
depend on how long you were
pulling through injury,” Mullner
says.

A Consumers’ Checkbook investigation reveals that owners could end up spending more with pet insurance than without
BY J EFF B LYSKAL
W ASHINGTON C ONSUMERS’
C HECKBOOK
Pet health insurance sales are
jumping like a spooked cat in a
viral video.
Last year, U.S. pet owners
spent more than $1 billion on
insurance — up 23 percent —
and more than 1.8 million cats
and dogs are now covered — up
more than 17 percent — accord-
ing to the North American Pet
Health Insurance Association.
Demand is driven by an irre-
sistible promise from insurers:
affordable, lifetime health care
for your beloved Woof or Kitty.
But a two-month Consumers’
Checkbook investigation found
that most accident and illness
plans end up being neither af-
fordable nor lifelong. For Check-
book’s full pet insurance report,
as well as ratings of local veteri-
narians, visit checkbook.org/
washingtonpost/pets.
Price hikes
Most buyers sign up for insur-
ance when their pets are young
and monthly premiums are low-
est. But four or five years later,
the premiums most companies
charge start to rise — purely
because the pets get older. Soon-
er or later, the price may become
unaffordable.
How unaffordable? Take a
male mixed-breed dog insured
by Pets Best in the District.
Enrolled as a puppy, his premi-
um would be $35 a month, but by
age 8, that more than doubles, to
$83. By age 12, it’s $149 per
month, or almost $1,800 per
year.
Thus, over a nearly 13-year
lifetime, that tail-wagging $35-a-
month premium grows into a
rabid $11,172 in total premiums.
And those age-based premium
increases don’t include future
veterinary price inflation, which
will probably add even more to
the monthly bill.
Studying pricing at nine in-
surance companies — making
up the vast majority of the
pet-insurance business — Office of the Insurance Commis-
Checkbook found age-based
price hikes at Nationwide, the
largest pet insurer; AKC and
PetPartners (both brands are
underwritten by the same insur-
er); ASPCA and Hartville (two
other brands sold by one insur-
er); Embrace; Figo; and Petplan.
Two companies studied, Healthy
Paws and Trupanion, don’t raise
prices with a pet’s advanc-
ISTOCK
ing age.
At most companies, “premi-
ums are generally low during pet
adolescent years and sharply
increase as the pet ages,” Trupan-
ion told the Washington State
sioner in a 2016 regulatory rate
filing. “Policy owners do not
often expect this and are likely to
[cancel] the policy when this
occurs,” the filing says.
Consequently, market re-
search shows the average policy-
holder insures not for the life of
their pet but for only three years,
according to the Trupanion
filing.

Costs can outweigh benefits
The hidden cost of premiums
is alarming, but it could be
justifiable if you get proportion-
ately high benefits in return. So,
Checkbook conducted an in-
depth cost/benefit analysis.
Checkbook’s undercover shop-
pers gathered premium quotes
and worked with the Purdue
University College of Veterinary
Medicine to develop a reasonable
basket of vet services for two
model pets: Woof, a medium-
size, male mixed-breed dog, and
Kitty, a male mixed-breed cat,
from age 2 months through
12 years. Researchers then ap-
plied the fine-print rules of nine
accident and illness insurance
plans with similar key options
and terms.
Overall, insurance was a worse
deal when Woof and Kitty were
lucky to have only low to moder-
ate health problems, and a better
deal when they suffered lots of
medical problems. But the prob-
lem with spending so much to
insure against disaster is that the
odds of calamity are fairly long.
Every six seconds a pet owner
13
MD
faces a vet bill of $1,000 or more,
according to PetInsurance-
Quotes.com, an online market-
place. Pet insurers also cite this
statistic. That sounds scary, but
in a country of 185 million cats
and dogs, that’s about a 3 percent
chance over a year.
Meanwhile, the average an-
nual pet-insurance premium in
2017 was $516, while the average
annual vet bill per pet the same
year was $92. Even if you focus
on insured pets, the risk is rarely
disastrous. The owners of 8 per-
cent of Embrace’s insured cats
filed claims for lymphoma in
2016, and the company’s highest-
cost cancer claim was almost
$15,000. But the average cost of
cat cancer without insurance was
a lot less: about $2,900.
At the same time, the owners
of 17 percent of Embrace’s in-
sured dogs filed claims for cruci-
ate ligament injuries, and the
insurer’s claim for repair was
$21,047. But the average for that
treatment without insurance was
$4,500, Embrace said.
The most common claims are
for minor problems. In 2016, the
top three claims for dogs insured
by Embrace were for diarrhea,
vomiting and ear infections. The
average cost of care without
insurance to treat intestinal is-
sues was $861; for ear infections
it was $324, according to Em-
brace.
The bottom line is that the
value of pet insurance depends
on the level of illness and injury
claims you make. “If you use it, it
has value; if you don’t, it doesn’t,”
said Kristen Lynch, executive
director of NAPHIA.
Checkbook’s recommenda-
tion: Instead of buying pet insur-
ance to pay the high costs of vet
care, focus on cutting those costs
by shopping around for the low-
est price on the veterinary ser-
vices you need. When Check-
book’s shoppers did that in the
Washington area, they found
price differences and savings of
the washington post . thursday, october 25 , 2018
hundreds of dollars for the same
vet services. Because shopping
around is difficult in an emergen-
cy, research options ahead of
time. Readers can see Check-
book’s veterinarian ratings free

book.org/washingtonpost/pets.
Tips for buying pet insurance
Lynch argues that the stan-
dard of value in pet insurance is
not found in scoring more ben-
efits than you pay in premiums;
rather, you’re buying peace of
mind knowing that you’re cov-
ered against the risk of being
inundated by vet bills.
If you have the bucks, and
you’re willing to pay any price for

save your seriously ill or injured
pet, here’s how to find the best pet

insurers and get the best deal:

 Before buying, learn how
your premium will increase as
your pet ages by using the insur-
er’s online quote engine. First, get
a monthly premium quote using
your pet’s age; then get quotes for
the 10 or 12 ensuing years. Multi-
ply each age’s monthly premium
by 12; then add up all the result-
ing annual premiums to estimate
what insurance will cost over that
period.

Understand what’s not cov-
ered. A leading complaint to reg-
ulators is claims being rejected
for conditions or treatments not
covered by the policy. No policy
covers preexisting conditions,
the washington post . thursday, october 25 , 2018
and some conditions that are
covered may be considered preex-
isting if they develop up to a year
after you enroll. If your pet is ill or
injured, the diagnostic exam is
often not covered by many plans,
even though the treatment is
covered. Follow-up exams for that
covered condition are often not
covered, either. Those $50 to
$100 exam fees amount to a
hidden added deductible.

Avoid claim rejection for a
preexisting condition by insuring
your pet when it’s a puppy or
kitten — before it has a chance to
develop a preexisting condition
(but don’t forget the caveat
above). You can typically enroll
when your pet is 6 to 8 weeks
of age.

Forget add-ons for wellness,
preventive and elective care.
When Checkbook added up the
lifetime costs of Woof’s routine
care, about $2,400, and used that
information to compare Nation-
wide’s Major Medical illness and
injury plan with its Whole Pet
with Wellness plan, it found that
adding wellness coverage was a
poor deal. Total lifetime Whole
Pet premiums for Woof were
much higher — almost $11,400
more — almost five times the
dog’s lifetime wellness costs. For
moderate-problem Woof, that
helped raise the owner’s total
out-of-pocket costs by about
$9,900 with Whole Pet, 70 per-
cent more than with Major Medi-
cal. Even for high-problem Woof,
Whole Pet cost the policyholder
$260 more in out-of-pocket costs
vs. Major Medical, a 1 percent
increase.

Consider accident-only pol-
icies, which cover injuries but not
illness and can be considerably
less expensive. ASPCA would
charge Woof $35 a month for its
accident-only plan, a price that
doesn’t increase with age.

 You must pay premiums
every month, but you may or may
not have to pay deductibles and
co-pays, depending on your pet’s
health. So it may be worth it to
cut your premium costs by in-
creasing your deductible, reduc-
ing the percent reimbursed, and
choosing an annual limit of only
$5,000 or $10,000 instead of

ON PARENTING

Regular yelling at a child is not ‘normal.’ It’s abuse.

BY M EGHAN L EAHY

Q: My daughter is 7 and on
the high-functioning end of
the autism spectrum. My
husband often has a short
fuse with her (and me), and
will yell at her — I’d say at
least once a day. I don’t just
mean a slightly raised voice
or a case where she’s about
to touch a hot stove, but
yelling with anger in his
voice, such as, “Just go to
sleep!” when she’s having
sleeping issues, or, “Fine,
don’t eat the eggs!” if she’s
being picky. I suffer from
anxiety and am sensitive to
people yelling (it never
happened in my household
growing up), so when he
yells, I get anxious and
protective of our daughter,
which tends to upset him
more (for instance, he
might tell me to “shut up”). WASHINGTON POST ILLUSTRATION/PRISMA FILTER/ISTOCK

and that he’s screamed at

important for the parent to slow

seeing says that it’s never
okay to yell at your kids —
that it may happen, but it’s
not okay. I’ve tried talking
to my husband about it,
but he seems to think it’s
no big deal or will deny
actually raising his voice.
Any suggestions on how to
deal with this? He seems
reluctant to see a different
marriage counselor.
autism, and medical issues such
as GI problems, seizures and
sleep difficulties can also affect
people with autism. High-
functioning autism, which is not
a formal diagnosis, generally
refers to a child who may be
able to get along in school and
perform academically, but find
reading others’ cues and socially
engaging difficult. The child
may also struggle to
communicate her emotions but,
with support and therapy in
speech and movement, can
greatly improve her ability to
communicate.
The reason I wanted to give
the most rudimentary definition
of your daughter’s condition
(knowing little about her) is that
I want to highlight how
important communication is
with these differently wired
children. Because your
not confuse lack of
communication or lack of social
cues for lack of feeling. Children
with high-functioning autism
want to belong to the group;
they just need therapy and
support to form those habits.
Why is this important to know?
Because your daughter is
absolutely feeling the effects of
your borderline verbally abusive
husband. And although being
yelled at every day breaks down
self-esteem and increases panic
in every child, it is especially
painful for children with
autism. Not only are they
receiving the abuse, they also
may lack a way to fight back or
express big feelings.
And yes, I am using the
word abuse. The fact that a
therapist told your husband
that his regular anger and
yelling is “normal” is flat-out
justifies daily yelling at family
members. There are online, in-
person and therapeutic
support options in every state
for parents, and what is even
more galling is that you have
spent good money and time on
therapy. Bad therapy, at that.
So, here we are, in a cycle of
him yelling, you defending and
him yelling more. I am glad you
are with an individual therapist
now, because you have some
decisions to make. If your
husband agrees to go to
marriage therapy, run, don’t
walk, to the next counselor. If
your husband can admit he has
an anger problem and can work
on it, splendid. You continue to
work on your anxiety, he works
on his anger, and you both get
support for raising your
daughter. But if your husband
doesn’t admit or lies about this
perfect, not devoid of
frustration and impatience, but
one of personal responsibility
and kindness. If your partner
cannot, I strongly recommend
that you safely and slowly
consider an exit plan. Talk to
your therapist about what this
would look like and how you
could proceed.
Whatever you do, make a
decision and move forward —
for yourself, your daughter and
your husband. Life is precious
and short; your daughter needs
you to find courage. Good luck.
