At the state level, party plants a blue flag

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

D AN M ORSE

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

MIDTERM ELECTIONS

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

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

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

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

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

GOP pays price at polls
for tying itself to Trump
Election Day has
come and gone,
and the counting
continues without
a definitive
answer to the
Dan Balz
question of what
the balance of
THE SUNDAY
TAKE
power will look
like in the coming
two years. But a
clear message has come through
from the voters: a desire for
stability at a time of unrest, a call
for seriousness at a time it is
needed.
Whatever the final numbers
show, 2022 will be remembered
as an election that produced an
incremental earthquake, an
election of small shifts that added
up to big surprises, an election in
which the party that hopes to
recapture the House emerges
disappointed and more divided.
Election 2022 was a dual
referendum: on President Biden
and the Democrats but also on
former president Donald Trump
and the Republicans.
Trump has changed politics in
many ways, and Republicans paid
a price for it Tuesday. His
presence has created an
energized electorate. Since he was
elected, huge voter turnouts have
become the norm: a midterm
record in 2018, a presidential-year
record in 2020 and a near-record
again this year. Midterm elections
usually mean complacency
among voters whose party just
won the White House. In the age
of Trump, every election is
consequential, and both sides
come highly motivated.
For all the shouting and anger
that has marked politics in recent
years, voters were not in a “throw
the bums out” mood. So far, only a
handful of House members have
lost their elections. The shifts
have come more in open seats
than in incumbent-held seats. No
sitting senator has yet to be
defeated, but the race in Georgia
is headed for a runoff. Nevada
Gov. Steve Sisolak (D), who
conceded to Republican Joe
Lombardo on Friday, is an
exception to this pattern.
Republicans campaigned
against what they described as a
radical left-wing agenda by Biden
and congressional Democrats.
They counted on high inflation,
concerns about disorder and
Biden’s weak approval ratings to
give them a sweeping victory and
the chance to dramatically
change the course of policy. The
message from voters was hardly a
mandate for a major course
change. Fears of a Trumpian party
in charge in Washington caused
many voters to stand in the way
and say go slow.

For years, Republicans stressed
the importance of the Supreme
Court as a way to mobilize their
base. On Tuesday, the Supreme
Court became a liability for
Republican candidates, an
institution seen by many
Democratic voters as able to take
away rights for women and a
symbol of Republican-controlled
government. Abortion rights
supporters — women and young
voters in particular — turned out
in droves.
In August, red-state Kansas
delivered the first warning to
Republicans of the backlash
against the Dobbs decision, with
voters by overwhelming numbers
saying they wanted to protect
abortion rights in the state
constitution. This month,
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly, seen
as the party’s most vulnerable
governor, won reelection by about
17,000 votes.
Republicans failed to make
significant gains in part because
they failed to attract the voters
who often make the biggest
difference in midterm elections.
Every time there has been a party
shift in the House in recent
midterm elections, independent
voters played a decisive role in
helping the winning side. This
year independent voters split
their voters almost evenly, 49
percent for Democratic House
candidates and 47 percent for
Republicans, according to exit
polls from Edison Research.
The Republicans’ failure to
convert more of those
independent voters to their side is
a flashing yellow light that the
voters who can make the
difference between winning and
losing aren’t calling for major
change. Perhaps they worried
about choosing a party in which a
majority say they do not think
Biden was legitimately elected.
Trump saddled the party with
weak candidates. With better
candidates in Pennsylvania,
Georgia and Arizona,
Republicans might have won
control of the Senate. Instead,
Democrats gained a seat in
Pennsylvania and held both
Arizona and Nevada. The victory
in Nevada, where Sen. Catherine
Cortez Masto was projected as the
winner on Saturday night, gives
Democrats the 50 seats needed to
maintain control (with Vice
President Harris’s tiebreaking
vote); a victory in the Georgia
runoff next month would give
them 51 seats.
The lack of an anti-incumbent
mood brought split results in
some states. One example is
Wisconsin, which has weathered
some of the sharpest partisan
warfare in the country for the

past decade. On Tuesday, voters
reelected Democratic Gov. Tony
Evers, one of the least charismatic
politicians in the country, and
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson,
one of the most controversial. In
New Hampshire, voters reelected
Republican Gov. Chris Sununu by
15 points and Democratic Sen.
Maggie Hassan by almost 10.
Everyone has remarked on the
huge reelection victory by Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R): a 19-point
margin over Charlie Crist. That
eye-popping number put him in
the spotlight as the strongest
potential challenger to Trump for
the 2024 GOP presidential
nomination — if both end up
running. But Sen. Marco Rubio
(R-Fla.), who lost to Trump in the
2016 nomination battle, was also
reelected by more than 16 points.
The Florida Republican who had
a bad night was Trump.
DeSantis wasn’t the only
incumbent governor who ran up
the score. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine
(R) won by almost 26 points and
probably helped to pull J.D.
Vance, the party’s nominee for
Senate, across the finish line in
his race against Tim Ryan. In
Michigan, Democratic Gov.
Gretchen Whitmer, once seen by
some Republicans as vulnerable,
demolished her challenger by 11
points. Now she is a national
figure. In Colorado, Democratic
Gov. Jared Polis won reelection by
17 points.
Democrats also did well in
state legislative races where it
mattered most, holding all their
legislative majorities while
winning control of Republican
chambers in a number of states.
This too ran counter to midterm
patterns. Democrats lost
hundreds of legislative seats
during the midterm elections of

2010 and 2014. This year, in
Michigan, which conducted its
legislative elections under fairer
maps than the maps produced
after the 2010 redistricting,
Democrats captured both
chambers. The same happened in
Minnesota. In both states,
Democrats now have full control
of the government.
In 2020, as voters were sending
Biden to the White House and
Trump to exile in Florida,
Republicans made gains in the
U.S. House of Representatives —
an unusual pattern in a
presidential election year. That
left Democrats under the
leadership of House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with a
slender majority. If Republicans
end up in control of the House,
they could have a margin as slim
as the Democrats have had the
past two years. Good luck to
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy
(R-Calif.) — if he manages to win
the speakership — in controlling
his conference as skillfully as
Pelosi has managed hers.
The Senate was always up for
grabs but some bullish
Republicans were talking about
the possibility of taking the
majority with 52 or 53 seats. Now
they are left to wonder how in a
year like this Democrats might
actually increase their numbers.
On this as with much else, they
will point to Trump.
The House results remain the
biggest surprise of the election,
and they have caused much
anguish inside the Republican
Party. Even after Trump lost the
White House in 2020, most GOP
leaders concluded that they
couldn’t win elections without his
voters. That gave Trump power to
meddle in elections, while
drawing attention to himself as

he falsely claimed the 2020
election was stolen. The
Democrats branded Republicans
as the MAGA (Make America
Great Again) party. Republicans
went along with Trump for the
sheer sake of winning power. Now
they may conclude they cannot
win decisively as long as he is a
dominant influence. The calls to
move on are growing louder.
In today’s divided country, all
presidents are polarizing, but
Biden may not be all that
frightening to voters. He certainly
doesn’t engender the reactions
that Trump did. At a time when
nearly 3 in 4 voters said they were
angry or dissatisfied with the way
things are going, Biden’s party
managed to deny Republicans
overwhelming gains in the House
and retain its Senate majority.
One number in exit polls that
has drawn considerable attention
is that the 10 percent of voters
who said they “somewhat
disapprove” of Biden’s job
performance still narrowly
backed Democratic House
candidates. In 2018, the cohort of
voters who said they somewhat
disapproved of Trump backed
Democratic candidates by 29
points, a much stronger rebuke of
the president’s party.
The final chapters from the
2022 election are yet to be
written. A Republican-controlled
House, if that is the way it ends
up, will mean significantly
different priorities, investigations
of the Biden administration and a
changed governing climate in the
capital. Legislatively, there could
be gridlock along with some
bipartisan agreements. Still, the
big story of this election is the
damage Trump has done and the
price Republicans have paid for
not standing up to him sooner.

Two historic military
planes collide at show
Two historic military aircraft
collided and crashed Saturday
during an air show in Dallas,
exploding into a ball of flames
and sending black smoke
billowing into the sky. It was not
clear how many people were
onboard the aircraft.
Emergency crews raced to the
crash scene at Dallas Executive
Airport, about 10 miles from the
city’s downtown.
News footage from the scene
showed crumpled wreckage of
the planes in a grassy area inside
the airport perimeter. Dallas FireRescue told the Dallas Morning

News that there were no reported
injuries among people on the
ground.
Officials would not say how
many people were onboard the
planes, but Hank Coates,
president of the company that put
on the air show, said one of the
planes, a B-17 Flying Fortress
bomber, typically has a crew of
four to five people. The other, a
P-63 Kingcobra fighter plane, has
a single pilot.
No paying customers were on
the aircraft, said Coates, of
Commemorative Air Force, which
also owned the planes. Their
aircraft are flown by highly
trained volunteers, often retired
pilots, he said.

Rev. Jackson’s brother
released from prison
An 80-year-old half brother of
the Rev. Jesse Jackson who was
sentenced to life in prison more
than 30 years ago after being
convicted of hiring hit men has
been released from prison,
officials said.
Noah Robinson Jr. was ordered
set free last month over the
objections of prosecutors by a
federal judge who cited
Robinson’s age, risks posed in
prison by covid-19 and his
deteriorating health.
“Robinson was convicted of
brutal crimes, but he is 80 years
old and has now been in custody
for almost 33 years,” U.S. District
Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer wrote.
“That is a significant period for
the purposes of punishment.”

Robinson was set free under the
First Step Act, a bipartisan bill
signed into law in 2018 by
President Donald Trump that is
intended to encourage inmates to
participate in programs aimed at
reducing recidivism, eases
mandatory minimum sentences,
and gives judges more discretion
in sentencing.
Robinson, an Ivy Leagueeducated wealthy businessman,
had been locked up since his arrest
in 1989 on charges that he hired
hit men from Chicago’s El Rukn
street gang to kill a boyhood friend
of his after the two got into a
fistfight in South Carolina.

Boris Epshteyn, former special assistant to President Donald Trump. He often has five or more talks with Trump a day, advisers say.

Boris Epshteyn’s loyalty to Trump
pays o≠ as investigations deepen
BY J OSH D AWSEY,
J ACQUELINE A LEMANY
AND I SAAC S TANLEY- B ECKER

Few people speak to former
president Donald Trump more
these days than Boris Epshteyn.
The pugilistic communications consultant often has five or
more conversations with Trump
a day, advisers say, with the
former president sometimes interrupting meetings with prominent elected officials to take his
calls.
A lawyer by training who has
also worked as an investment
banker, Epshteyn, 40, has
morphed into one of the most
influential figures in Trump’s
orbit, winning his ear on how to
respond to investigations that
have placed Trump in legal jeopardy unheard of for a former
president. Epshteyn’s access and
influence have frustrated some of
the more experienced lawyers
Trump has hired, because of
what they see as his unnecessarily confrontational approach, his
lack of relevant experience and
the fact that Epshteyn’s own
actions also have come under
scrutiny in some of the probes,
people familiar with the situation said.
At the same time, Epshteyn is
also dealing with the legal ramifications of his conduct outside of
work. He is on probation, according to court records, after pleading guilty late last year to disorderly conduct and fighting during a late-night bar incident in
Scottsdale, Ariz. — the second
such arrest in Arizona in seven
years.
Epshteyn declined to answer
questions on the record about
those arrests, or any other topic,
for this article.
He earned Trump’s loyalty by
aggressively pushing false claims
about the 2020 presidential election and carrying out Trump’s
post-election wishes in states
Biden won, according to interviews with 13 people familiar
with Trump’s inner circle, most
of whom spoke on the condition
of anonymity to discuss the matter. They said he elevated his
rank on the legal team handling
the Mar-a-Lago documents case
by flattering Trump and feeding
his taste for conflict — including
presenting options to take a
confrontational stance toward
the Justice Department while
other lawyers counseled a more
collaborative approach.
Federal campaign filings
shows that Epshteyn has earned
almost $1 million from Trumpaligned candidates — who hired
him in part to sway the former
president for political support,
according to advisers on multiple
campaigns. While Trump admires Epshteyn for his loyalty,
work ethic and willingness to
thrust himself into controversies
on his behalf, other Trump advisers and lawyers say they fear he is
a legal liability — a “sycophant,”
one said, who has given Trump
the kind of advice that has worsened situations.
Just this past week, Trump
filed a lawsuit in Florida against
the New York attorney general —
at Epshteyn’s urging and over
protests from others on the legal
team who considered it risky and
frivolous, according to people

familiar with the matter.
In a statement, Trump called
Epshteyn “a high energy person
with tremendous drive and great
intelligence. He takes heat, but
he usually ends up being right,
and I’m very comfortable with
him.”
Trump said Epshteyn was a
“terrific student who went to one
of the Top Tier Law Schools” and
who “likes this crazy life, dealing
with Radical Left Maniacs.”
Eight current and former
Trump advisers said Epshteyn’s
ascent through the ranks was
astonishing, especially given his
lack of litigation experience, although Trump often acts based
on political rather than legal
considerations.
Epshteyn’s
makeshift office is the Palm
Steakhouse in downtown Washington, where he cycles through
meetings ringing up pricey tabs,
people who know him say. He
also is a regular at cigar bars. His
trademark look is a three-piece
suit. He drives a navy Bentley he
purchased in 2020 and has told
others he likes it because it has a
big B on it — like Boris.
“He was the guy you called for
everything,” said former New
York City Police commissioner
Bernard Kerik, a longtime Trump
ally who worked with Epshteyn
to challenge the 2020 election
results and described him as
involved in all of Trump’s legal
efforts — every lawsuit and every
investigation.
“His phone is constantly busy,”
Kerik said. “He’s extremely loyal.
I think the president trusts him.”
In recent weeks, Epshteyn has
told others that he has looked for
a place near Palm Beach, where
Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s winter residence and private club, is located. He has predicted Trump will
be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee and said he
wants to be involved in the
campaign.
Epshteyn is elated to be at the
center of the action and to talk to
Trump so often, those who have
spoken to him say. He has joked
with associates that the federal
authorities may be listening to
those calls but did not seem
worried about it.
“I’m doing great!” he told a
concerned associate recently
over lunch.
Entering Trump world
Epshteyn was born in Moscow
and came to the United States as
a child, growing up in New
Jersey, according to public records. He became friends with
Eric Trump in college. After
Georgetown Law School, he
worked for two law firms, then
for a financial services firm in
New York that was later shut
down by the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority. Epshteyn,
who was not personally accused
of wrongdoing, is now associated
with a different financial firm.
He has never tried a legal case, a
point regularly made by some of
Trump’s other advisers.
During the 2016 presidential
campaign, Epshteyn became a
prominent supporter of Trump
on television, defending behavior including the “Access Hollywood” tapes and attacks on Gold
Star families even as many other
Trump surrogates were sheepish
about doing so.

After the election, Epshteyn
became an aide on the transition
team and in the White House.
But his tenure in was short — he
lasted about two months in the
White House and was abruptly
moved from the transition to be
communications director for the
inaugural committee. Three
Trump advisers, including one
person with direct knowledge of
the matter, said the White House
exit came after issues gaining a
security clearance and clashing
with other White House aides.
People close to Epshteyn said he
was floated to be placed at other
agencies — which did not happen.

“His phone is constantly
busy. He’s extremely
loyal. I think the
president trusts him.”
Bernard Kerik, longtime Trump ally
who worked with Epshteyn to
challenge the 2020 election

He found ways to stay involved: talking to Trump and
other advisers, sitting in the
lobby of the former president’s
hotel and showing up for events
at the White House. Epshteyn
soon took to the airwaves with
Sinclair Broadcast Group, doing
a pro-Trump segment called
“Bottom Line with Boris.” Trump
often was shown clips and liked
them.
During Trump’s reelection
campaign, Epshteyn took a more
limited role, advisers said, doing
TV hits, mingling at campaign
headquarters, traveling to some
events and handling some outreach to the Jewish community.
Some of Trump’s aides were annoyed by what they saw as his
harebrained ideas, former advisers said. “We tried to keep him
out of the middle of it,” one top
campaign official said.
An election loss, and an
opportunity
In the chaotic days after President Biden’s election victory,
many of Trump’s advisers wanted
to run for the hills. Epshteyn saw
an opening. He started showing
up at campaign headquarters,
often with Rudy Giuliani, campaign aides who were packing up
said. Soon he became a key figure
in the effort to overturn the
election results, and a mainstay
at the Willard Hotel suite that
became known as the “command
center” for that mission.
Epshteyn worked closely with
Giuliani and Kerik, as well as
pro-Trump lawyer John Eastman
and former White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, serving
as a liaison to other conservative
lawyers and Trump allies and as a
self-described chief of staff to the
team. Epshteyn, Eastman and
Giuliani wrangled GOP lawmakers in swing states to pressure
Vice President Mike Pence to
decertify the results and send
them back to the states — a legal
strategy devised by Eastman that
has been widely discredited but
Epshteyn has continued to defend.
“He was like a coordinator

with an enormous Rolodex,” Kerik said, describing Trump calling
Epshteyn late at night and early
in the morning. “Legal, constitutional, when I was trying to get
paid. If it wasn’t for Boris, I
wouldn’t have gotten paid.”
The scheme to create slates of
pro-Trump electors from states
Biden narrowly won and send
them to Pence was carried out
partially by Epshteyn, former
Trump advisers say. Epshteyn
told The Washington Post this
year that he took part in conference calls with the campaign’s
legal team, including Giuliani, to
discuss elector participation as
part of “an overall effort to send
it back to the states.”
That effort is now being investigated by the Justice Department. Epshteyn recently had his
phone seized by federal agents as
part of that probe. A federal
subpoena that went to more than
100 people across the country
this spring — including fake
electors and state officials —
sought phone and email communications with dozens of people
involved in the effort, including
Epshteyn.
Epshteyn also had to testify
recently before a Georgia grand
jury investigating Trump’s efforts
to overturn the election results in
that state.
Trouble in Arizona
When Trump wanted to overturn the election results in Arizona, he turned to Epshteyn, who
decamped to the state for some
time. Epshteyn worked alongside
Christina Bobb, a former One
America News anchor and proTrump lawyer, and others to push
an array of initiatives, including
an audit by a group called the
Cyber Ninjas. He also met with
lawmakers and urged House
Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) to pass
a resolution that would allow
voters to overturn election results.
“I told him straight up, ‘This is
a circus. I’m not going to do it,’ ”
Bowers, who lost his seat after
being opposed by Trump, said in
an interview. “He just kept trying
to talk me into it. I said, ‘You guys
have been telling me you have
the proof for a year, and then
nothing. I need to see some real
evidence.’ ”
Epshteyn repeatedly identified himself as a member of
Trump’s team, Bowers said, and
mentioned that he was working
with Mark Finchem, an Arizona
House member who ran unsuccessfully for secretary of state.
Bowers said Epshteyn sent him
more than 100 pages of material,
including memos from Eastman
that Bowers rifled through and
quickly dismissed. The Post reviewed the materials, which
showed no evidence to justify
overturning the election.
Epshteyn’s willingness to
champion such ideas became
legendary among Trump’s advisers. As some of them emailed last
year about an Arizona grassroots lobbying effort, one of the
advisers suggested it might be
illegal due to state lobbying laws,
people who have seen the emails
say.
A second adviser jokingly
wrote: “Let’s just do it and blame
Boris!”
While in Arizona last October,

OUR 53RD YEAR IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA | CRYSTALBOUTIQUE.COM

2160 Crystal Plaza Arcade | 703.415.1400 | Mon - Sat 10 - 5 | Parking Validated

Epshteyn was arrested at 1:45
a.m. at the Bottled Blonde bar in
Scottsdale, according to court
records. He pleaded guilty to
disorderly conduct and disturbance, while three other misdemeanor charges were dropped,
the records show.
Epshteyn was given a suspended sentence and a fine,
placed on probation, ordered to
avoid contact with his alleged
victim and remanded to alcohol
treatment. His probation ends
this year.
A spokesman for the police
department did not respond to
requests for comment, and the
agency did not immediately provide the full police report to The
Post.
Epshteyn had been arrested in
Arizona for a similar bar incident
in 2014, court records show. In
that case, charges were dropped
after he agreed to get counseling
for anger management and to
complete community service.
Success as a consultant
Epshteyn’s political consultancy, Georgetown Advisory, has
earned close to $1 million from
federal candidates and other
committees this cycle, according
to filings with the Federal Election Commission. His clients this
cycle included Katie Britt, the
Republican nominee for Senate
in Alabama; Blake Masters, the
Republican nominee for Senate
in Arizona; and Eric Greitens, the
scandal-plagued former Missouri governor who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican
nomination for Senate in that
state. Some of the candidates
who paid Epshteyn did not ultimately run, such as cryptocurrency investor Brock Pierce who
sent Epshteyn’s firm $100,000
before opting against entering
the race for Senate in Vermont.
Payments from Trump’s Save
America PAC to Epshteyn total
$165,000, according to federal
filings. The PAC has been paying
him since April. In August and
September, what had been generally a monthly payment of
$15,000 increased to $30,000.
Before the 2016 cycle, when he
worked for Trump’s first campaign, Epshteyn had never been
paid by a federal client, though
he advised on John McCain’s
2008 presidential bid.
A contract Epshteyn signed
with one campaign includes a
$15,000 or $20,000 payment per
month, plus an additional
$75,000 if the candidate wins the
primary, and an additional
$150,000 if the candidate wins
the general election, according to
a copy reviewed by The Post. The
contract says Epshteyn will provide “knowledge and assistance
related to political strategy, national and local communications, and coalition building.”
Epshteyn talked up his clients
to Trump, sharing positive news
articles and polling, according to
Trump’s advisers, and the former
president endorsed some of
them. An aide on one campaign
said they hired Epshteyn for just
that purpose.
Epshteyn was also able to help
translate Trump and his advisers
for his clients and would advise
campaigns before they had meetings with him, one candidate
said. Epshteyn connected the
Masters campaign to Bobb, who
hosted an event for the candidate
in April where Trump called in,
according to a person familiar

with the activities.
Mar-a-Lago tensions
Initially, many of Epshteyn’s
calls to Trump were about the
2020 election. But this year, as
the controversy over classified
documents located at Mar-a-Lago intensified, Trump grew furious with some of his lawyers who
were urging him to return the
material to the federal government. In spring, according to
advisers, Trump gave Epshteyn a
larger role in his legal defense
team — akin to an in-house
counsel.
“He came in and started giving
orders,” one person familiar with
the matter said.
Epshteyn helped bring in attorney Evan Corcoran, introducing him on a call with other
Trump lawyers and recommending him to Trump, who hired him
sight unseen, The Post has reported.
Corcoran is now under scrutiny himself for how he responded
to the subpoena this year from
the Justice Department — a response that in part led to the
Aug. 8 FBI raid of the former
president’s property.
Epshteyn has urged a pugilistic tone in court filings about the
documents, has tried to shape
public relations around those
filings and has called Trump
repeatedly throughout the day to
talk strategy, other advisers say.
That has frustrated the lawyers who actually sign the court
filings, including Chris Kise, according to people who have spoken to the former Florida solicitor general.
Kise, who Trump hired on a $3
million retainer this summer, has
expressed concerns about Epshteyn’s advice to others. In a
brief interview, Kise said that his
relationship with Epshteyn was
“good” and that they talk “frequently.”
“We don’t always agree, but we
have — from my perspective — a
mutual respect for each other’s
viewpoints,” he said.
For his part, Epshteyn has
questioned Kise to Trump repeatedly, people familiar with those
conversations say.
So far, Trump seems to be
listening to Epshteyn. On
Wednesday, there was sharp debate between Trump’s lawyers
over whether to file a lengthy
lawsuit in Florida court attacking New York Attorney General
Letitia James (D) — a development first reported by the New
York Times.
Epshteyn wanted to go forward with the lawsuit.
Some other Trump attorneys
— including longtime Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten,
who has battled with James in
New York — vigorously argued
against doing so, saying it could
backfire, people familiar with the
situation said. Garten declined to
comment.
Late Wednesday night, Trump
filed the suit and Epshteyn touted it to the world, sending it to
reporters and urging them to
write about it.
“Great job Boris,” Garten
wrote in an email to others,
including Epshteyn, according to
people with knowledge of the
email. “Another frivolous lawsuit. What a joke.”
Epshteyn did not respond.

Biden earns his first Bottomless Pinocchio — plus his other recent errors of fact
President Biden is
a self-described
“gaffe machine.”
That’s no excuse,
of course, for a
president making
The Fact
false or
Checker
misleading
statements.
GLENN
Readers have
KESSLER
asked for fact
checks of a variety
of recent Biden statements, but
none of them seemed big enough
for a stand-alone fact check. So
here’s a roundup of some of the
president’s recent errors of fact,
made as he has barnstormed the
country boosting Democrats and
raising contributions in advance
of the midterm elections. We
generally do not award
Pinocchios for roundups like this
— but for reasons that will
become clear, we need to make
an exception for the first one.

“Folks, I spent a lot of time —
more time with Xi Jinping than
any other head of state. … I’ve
traveled 17,000 miles with
him.”
— remarks at a political
event in San Diego, Nov. 3

This is an old claim we had
debunked shortly after Biden
took office, giving him Three
Pinocchios. There is no evidence
Biden traveled that much with
Xi, the president of China — and
even if we added up the miles
Biden flew to see Xi, it still did
not total 17,000 miles. The White
House could not offer an
explanation for that number
either.
As far as we could tell, the

only time Biden and Xi appear to
have traveled together was in
2011, when they visited
Qingchengshan High School in
Dujiangyan, a distance of 50
miles from Chengdu, a city in
Sichuan province. Biden, then
vice president, and Xi, also vice
president, met together over the
course of three days in various
settings, including a business
dialogue in Chengdu.
When Xi came to the United
States a year later, Biden and Xi
did not even follow a parallel
route to Los Angeles. On Feb. 14,
Biden and Xi gathered at the
White House for meetings,
including with President Barack
Obama, had lunch at the State
Department, conducted a
business roundtable and finally
had dinner at the vice
president’s residence at the
Naval Observatory. Xi then
traveled elsewhere in the United
States, including Iowa, before
arriving in Los Angeles. Biden
flew to Los Angeles to meet Xi
there on Feb. 17; they had dinner,
among other events.
Biden returned to China in
2013, where he held another five
hours of meetings with Xi. Biden
also met Xi when he arrived in
Washington on his first state
visit as Chinese president in
2015. That’s certainly an
impressive amount of face time
with Xi. But Biden’s mileage
number never added up, no
matter how many different
combinations of mileage figures
we considered.
Yet it’s noteworthy because,
despite our fact check and a

White House admission that
Biden’s line of “traveling with” Xi
was not accurate, with this
comment, Biden had made the
claim 20 times during his
presidency. Biden is so fond of
this bogus statistic that he even
mentioned it during high-profile
speeches such as a joint session
of Congress and a
commencement address. (He
then said it a 21st time a few
hours later, in another speech,
with a slight twist: “ … when I
traveled 17-, 18,000 miles with
him.” And in his news
conference on Wednesday after
the midterm elections, referring
to his planned meeting with Xi
in Bali on Monday, the president
yet again made this claim.)
Why is this significant?
Readers may recall that during
Donald Trump’s presidency, we
established a new category, the
Bottomless Pinocchio, to account
for false or misleading
statements repeated so often
that they became a form of
propaganda. A statement would
get added to the list if it had
earned a Three or Four
Pinocchios rating and been
repeated at least 20 times. By the
end of the Trump presidency, 56
claims made by Trump had
qualified.
Now Biden has earned his
own Bottomless Pinocchio.

“Today, the most common
price of gas in America is $3.39
— down from over $5 when I
took office.”
— remarks at a community
college in Syracuse, N.Y., Oct.
27

Many readers complained
about his comment, given that
average gas prices were about
$2.48 the week Biden took office,
according to the Energy
Information Administration.
Soaring gas prices over the
course of Biden’s presidency
have been a drag on his approval
ratings. (The White House in
fact has preferred to refer the
“most common price,” which
comes from the GasBuddy app
and tends to be lower than the
average price because California,
with its super-high gas prices,
raises the average.)
Biden was basically correct on
the “most common price” at the
time he made this comment but
appears to have misspoken
about the price when he took
office. Generally, his speeches
have referenced prices over the
summer, not when he took office,
as that tells a better story. For
instance, a few days later, on Oct.
31, Biden said: “In June, the
average price — not the most
common price, but the average
price — nationwide was — was
over $5 a gallon. Today, the
average price for a gallon of gas
is $3.76.”
“On my watch, for the first
time in 10 years, seniors are
getting an increase in their
Social Security checks.”
— remarks at a community
center in Hallandale Beach,
Fla., Nov. 1

A version of this line ended up
in a White House tweet that
same day — “Seniors are getting
the biggest increase in their
Social Security checks in 10 years

through President Biden’s
leadership” — which officials
deleted after Twitter labeled it as
lacking context.
The problem? The reason
Social Security payments are
going up is because Social
Security benefits, under a law
passed in 1972, are adjusted
every year to keep pace with
inflation.
Next year, benefits will
increase 8.7 percent — but that’s
because inflation has soared at
that level. Biden and the Federal
Reserve have been trying to fight
inflation, but without much
success so far.
“You are probably aware
that I just signed a law that is
being challenged by my
Republican colleagues. … What
we’ve provided for is, if you
went to school, if you qualified
for a Pell Grant … you qualify
for $20,000 in debt
forgiveness. Secondly, if you
don’t have one of those loans,
you just get $10,000 written
off. It’s passed. I got it passed
by a vote or two.”
— remarks at a forum with
NowThis, Oct. 23

In describing his plan for
student loan forgiveness, Biden
oddly said he had “just signed a
law” that was approved in
Congress by “a vote or two.”
But he never presented such a
proposal for Congress to
consider.
Instead, Biden relied on new
authority granted by the Justice
Department — a fresh
interpretation of a law passed
almost two decades ago, the

2003 Higher Education Relief
Opportunities for Students Act,
often dubbed the Heroes Act. In
a legal opinion, the Justice
Department concluded that the
law authorizes the education
secretary to relieve borrowers of
the obligation to repay federal
student loans. Thus, the
president could announce a plan
to cancel student loans.
Previously, the Trump and
Biden administrations used the
law to pause student loan
payments as the coronavirus
pandemic raged. But the Trump
administration concluded that it
could not use the law for
cancellation or forgiveness of
student loans. The Biden Justice
Department arrived at the
opposite interpretation.
Ultimately, the issue will be
settled in the courts. An appeals
court has frozen Biden’s program
in response to a lawsuit filed by
Republican state attorneys
general.
The White House said Biden
misspoke and meant to refer to
the Inflation Reduction Act, a
bill mostly focused on climate
change and raising tax revenue.
That law passed on a party-line
vote, with a tiebreaking vote in
the Senate cast by Vice President
Harris.
But the Inflation Reduction
Act has nothing to do with
student loans — and analysts
have said that whatever deficit
reduction is achieved by the law
will be quickly exceeded by the
cost of the student loan
program, if it survives legal
challenges.

Nevada win keeps Democrats in control of Senate, dashing GOP’s ambitions
SENATE FROM A1

their agenda, and said Republicans had turned off voters with
extremism and “negativity,” including some candidates’ false
insistence that the 2020 election
had been stolen. “America
showed that we believed in our
democracy,” he told reporters in
New York, while praising the
quality of Democratic incumbents.
Most national Republicans
stayed silent on the projected
result as of Saturday night, and
the Laxalt campaign has not yet
publicly acknowledged Cortez
Masto’s projected win.
Still, a few Republicans began
to express their discontent as they
faced at least another two years in
the minority. “The old party is
dead. Time to bury it. Build something new,” Sen. Josh Hawley
(R-Mo.), tweeted shortly after the
race was called.
Shiree Verdone, a Republican
fundraiser, said Saturday night
that GOP donors and activists are
distraught at the election’s outcome.
“We have to examine what
went wrong. There needs to be
some kind of study of what happened in this election,” said Verdone, who held a fundraiser for
Laxalt and acknowledged that
Democrats know how to get out
the vote in Nevada with the “Reid
machine,” named for the late
Senate Majority Leader Harry M.
Reid.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who in
October was predicting as head of
the Senate GOP campaign arm
that his party would hold 53 to 55
seats, had not yet made a statement as of late Saturday night.
Cortez Masto announced she
would deliver a victory speech on
Sunday.
Democrat Cisco Aguilar was
also projected to win Nevada’s
secretary of state race, beating a
Republican nominee, Jim Marchant, who sought oversight of Nevada’s elections while baselessly
denying the results from 2020.
Former president Donald Trump
endorsed Marchant in the race.
Democrats also were projected
to pick up a House seat in Washington state held by Republican
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who
was ousted in a Republican primary after voting to impeach
Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack
on the Capitol by a pro-Trump
mob.
In the Nevada Senate race,
Cortez Masto’s win was part of a
perfect record so far by incumbent senators seeking reelection
in the midterms, as voters tilted
strongly against upending the established order in the chamber. It
was part of a strong showing by
Democrats in battleground areas
where Republicans fell short after
emphasizing rising prices and
concerns about crime during an
era of one-party control in Washington.
Republicans started the election needing to gain one seat to
seize control of the Senate. Democrats flipped a seat in Pennsylvania and held on in several other
states seen as vulnerable, running
as protectors of abortion rights
after the end of Roe v. Wade and

MELINA MARA/THE WASHINGTON POST

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) was projected to win reelection Saturday night, handing Democrats a 50th seat and Senate control. Cortez Masto’s win is part of a
perfect record so far for incumbent senators and a strong showing for Democrats in battleground areas.

casting GOP rivals as extremists.
One such state was Arizona,
where Sen. Mark Kelly (D) was
projected to win Friday night over
Republican challenger Blake
Masters.
In Nevada, Laxalt sought to tie
Cortez Masto to Biden while
blaming inflation and crime on
Democratic policies, pointing to a
$1.9 trillion stimulus bill Cortez
Masto helped pass during the
height of the pandemic.
Republicans predicted their
economic message would be especially resonant in a working-class
state with some of the highest
inflation in the country. But both
parties always expected the race
to be decided by razor-thin
margins, and Cortez Masto
claimed a second term in a state
the GOP long considered a top
pickup opportunity.
Cortez Masto, who is the first
Latina elected to the Senate,
made abortion access central to
her campaign, warning that her
opponent could help pass a federal abortion ban even as Nevada
had guaranteed access to the procedure by popular vote. She also
touted Democrats’ efforts to bring
down costs, including the price of
prescription drugs.
Laxalt has said he would not

support a national abortion ban,
though he supports a referendum
in the state to ban abortion after
13 weeks. During the general election, he spoke little about his role
in fanning Trump’s false claims of
election fraud, as Democrats attacked him on the issue.
During a news conference earlier Saturday, Joe Gloria, the registrar in Clark County, was asked
if any campaigns had expressed
concerns about the counting
process. “I don’t have anything to
report there,” he said. Later, Gloria added that he has not heard
“anything from any campaign”
about allegations of fraud.
The Senate has been evenly
divided between the two parties
during Biden’s presidency, with
Vice President Harris empowered
to cast tiebreaking votes. The
fight for the majority was a focal
point of the midterm campaign,
with huge sums of cash flooding
into key states. Inexperienced
candidates elevated by Trump
eased Democrats’ path in some
important races, at times stumbling and giving Democrats more
room to go on the attack.
In Pennsylvania, Lt. Gov. John
Fetterman (D) defeated celebrity
doctor Mehmet Oz, a first-time
Republican candidate boosted by

the former president. Oz faced
scrutiny over his popular TV
show, which promoted questionable products; his longtime New
Jersey residency; and instances
Democrats used to paint him as
an out-of-touch candidate, including his reference to raw vegetables as “crudite.”
The Arizona race also featured
a Trump-backed newcomer in
Masters,
whom
Democrats
branded as an extremist. They
seized on comments he made
about privatizing Social Security
and his support for abortion restrictions, including a national
15-week ban.
Democrats held off other challenges, stymieing Republican attempts to advance into Colorado,
Washington state and New
Hampshire. Republicans nominated more moderate candidates
in the first two states but in New
Hampshire, the GOP nominee
was Don Bolduc, a far-right contender who embraced much of
Trump’s platform and had
claimed falsely that Trump won
the 2020 election.
Republicans kept control of
open seats in North Carolina and
Ohio and will be sending two new
senators to the upper chamber
from those states: Rep. Ted Budd

and author J.D. Vance, respectively. In Wisconsin, Sen. Ron Johnson (R) narrowly won reelection
in a competitive contest.
In Georgia, Sen. Raphael G.
Warnock (D) ran just slightly
ahead of Republican nominee
Herschel Walker, a former football player. But neither candidate
met the 50 percent threshold required to avert a runoff. The two
will face off again in a runoff next
month. Both sides have been
gearing up in the purple state.
In Alaska, vote tallying continues under a new ranked-choice
system. Republicans Sen. Lisa
Murkowski, a target of Trump,
and Kelly Tshibaka, a challenger
backed by the former president,
were in competition in that race.
In total, Democrats were playing defense in the Senate in 14
states this midterm year — all of
which were won by Biden in 2020.
Republicans were playing defense in 21 states, including two
where Biden won. One was Pennsylvania, so far the only flipped
seat.
Schumer praised the quality of
the Democratic incumbents, and
said they won in part because
Republicans nominated “flawed”
candidates. Sen. Gary Peters (DMich.), the chair of the Senate

Democrats’ campaign arm, said
in a statement that the victories
represented a “resounding endorsement of Democrats’ Senate
majority” and “a rejection of the
extremism espoused by the GOP.”
The losses have stirred discontent among Republicans in the
Senate, and at least six of them
have pushed for this week’s leadership elections to be delayed in a
challenge to Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell’s leadership.
The Senate Leadership Fund,
an outside group closely associated with McConnell (R-Ky.), spent
more than $230 million this cycle
backing Republicans in races
across the country. Without directly criticizing Trump, McConnell lamented before the election
that “candidate quality” issues
made it harder for Republicans to
flip the Senate than the House.
Since several Trump-backed
Senate candidates have lost,
Trump and his allies have attempted to turn the blame
around on McConnell, criticizing
him for not spending more in
Arizona to back Masters and other decisions.

Midterm Elections

In Nevada, a last-ditch verification e≠ort to make sure every vote counts
BY

R OBERT K LEMKO

henderson, nev. — Ozzy Os-

bourne’s “Crazy Train” played on
the radio as Jack and Sally Leonard embarked on a mission to
squeeze every last Democratic
vote out of Clark County, Nev.
Election Day passed days ago.
But with the vote count revealing
a tight race between Democratic
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and
Republican Adam Laxalt on Friday morning, with control of the
Senate on the line, thousands of
ballots with minor defects could
still be fixed and counted. So the
Leonards, motivated by their
concern for the future of the
country, went out to do some
curing.
“I fear for democracy,” said
Sally, 71. “We have family members that are …”
“Radical,” Jack, 74, interjected.
“Radical,” Sally agreed. “And
by that I mean, they’re okay with
the lies that are being told.”
When Nevada enacted universal mail balloting last year after
turning to mailed ballots in 2020
as a pandemic solution, the law
required verification using signatures provided during voter
registration. If signatures on
mailed-in ballots don’t match
those signatures, or there’s no
signature at all, the ballots need
to be verified, or “cured.”
As absentee balloting becomes
more common nationwide, the
effect has been to draw out the
election process, with volunteers
knocking on doors not only before the election — but in the
days after, as well.
Vote curing is an option in 24
states, eight of which conduct
universal mail balloting, according to the National Conference
of State Legislatures. Deadlines
to cure range from the day
before Election Day to 21 days
after. In states with longer windows to cure ballots, like Nevada, political groups with voter
turnout ground-game infrastructure also help voters cure
their ballots in the days after an
election.
The effort could be decisive in
especially close races. In Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District,
Republican firebrand Lauren
Boebert held a narrow lead of
just over 1,100 votes against
Democrat Adam Frisch on Saturday. But between 3,000 and
4,000 ballots had been flagged
for curing. With Democrats enjoying an overall advantage in
mail-in ballots, the scramble to
contact voters and cure the ballots before the deadline on
Wednesday could boost Frisch’s
numbers.
Nevadans have until Monday
to cure ballots, which is part of
the reason for a protracted
vote-tallying process that was
continuing Saturday and was
expected to extend into the
week.
In Clark County, home to Las
Vegas, officials sent letters and
made phone calls to thousands of
voters with verification issues on
their ballots. Joe Gloria, Clark
County’s registrar of voters, said
that as of Saturday there were
14,651 uncured ballots in the
county, of which 7,139 remain
unresolved.
With so much at stake, political parties and advocacy groups
have launched their own efforts
to spread the word and get
ballots fixed.
Door-to-door efforts to cure
ballots have typically been a
liberal undertaking in Nevada,
though numerous groups take on
the challenge. In 2020, Republicans may have left votes on the
table: There were 2,887 uncured
ballots statewide, according to
the Nevada secretary of state’s
office, about a third of which
were from Republicans and a
quarter from Democrats.
Nationally, former president
Donald Trump and other Republican leaders have encouraged voters to avoid mail voting
in favor of voting in person on
Election Day, while lobbing unsubstantiated
accusations
about fraud tainting the absentee vote. It is unknown how the
rhetoric affected turnout in Nevada; the partisan breakdown
for the states’s mailed ballots
will not be available until the
coming week.
But Democrats appear to believe they have something to gain
through aggressive cure efforts.
Enter white-bearded Jack
Leonard, in his Wild Bill T-shirt,
cargo shorts and Skechers slipons. He had voted for politicians
from either party until Trump’s
arrival. The Republican’s rhetoric turned him off.
As Sally fumbled with the GPS
on her phone, the couple crisscrossed southern Las Vegas and
the suburb of Henderson in their
red SUV. They knocked on door
after door, using as their guide a
list provided by the party-backed

Nevada Democratic Victory.
With an app provided by the
organization, they checked off 20
houses Friday morning.
At one residence, they let a
voter’s husband know she ought
to take care of her uncured ballot
as soon as possible. At unanswered doors, they left behind a
pamphlet headlined “YOUR

BALLOT WILL BE REJECTED!”
with instructions on how to
remedy ballots by phone, email
or in person.
The couple might have stayed
at home on Friday, but Supreme
Court decisions this year, including the court’s ruling on Roe v.
Wade, ushered in a sense of
urgency, they said.

Nevada Democratic Victory
declined to share details about
the extent of its curing efforts or
its process. The state GOP does
not advertise volunteer opportunities related to curing on its
website and did not respond to a
request for comment.
The state’s Culinary Union
said it is running the largest

signature-curing effort statewide; 200 canvassers began curing efforts on Wednesday and
will continue through the weekend, the organization said. “People are really grateful we are
letting them know and helping
them have their vote counted,”
union spokesperson Bethany
Khan said.

The Leonards mostly got no
response, speaking to only three
people in person.
“We tried,” Jack said, shuffling
into the driver’s seat.
Said Sally: “That’s all we can
do.”

DESANTIS FROM A1

and sowed new concern in the
party about Trump’s ability to
lead them to victory in 2024,
Republicans said. The governor’s
nearly 20-point reelection victory has placed him in a stronger
position than ever to seek the
presidency and potentially challenge Trump’s dominance in the
party, according to some GOP
strategists, donors and officials.
Many are suddenly giving him a
closer look as a possible presidential hopeful.
“He’s just built up this incredible energy and winning streak,”
said Eric Anton, a GOP donor
from New York who said he
thinks DeSantis would have
been “crushed” by Trump a few
months ago. “He’s number
two ...” Anton said, before correcting himself. “He’s either
number one, two or three in the
party. He played it perfectly.”
DeSantis’s campaign declined
to comment for this story. At a
debate last month against Democratic rival Charlie Crist, the
governor sidestepped a question
about whether he would commit
to serving a full second term. At
DeSantis’s victory party Tuesday
night, a chant broke out suggesting he look beyond the governor’s office: “Two more years!
Two more years!”
“While our country flounders
due to failed leadership in Washington, Florida is on the right
track,” DeSantis said in his
speech.
Should he decide to run for
president, DeSantis could face
numerous challenges. He is still
relatively untested on the national stage. He hails from a onetime
swing state that has moved right
and in some ways does not
mirror the rest of the country.
And he has already attracted the
ire of Trump, who has leveled
devastating attacks against rivals
who have yet to fully recover
politically from his broadsides
and demeaning nicknames years
after he launched them.
While Trump went after DeSantis earlier this fall, sharing an
article that suggested it would be
risky for the governor to challenge him, the former president
attacked DeSantis like never before as the governor’s stock rose
in recent days — calling him
disloyal and “just average” in a
stream of social media posts and
using a derisive nickname he
debuted just before the election,
“Ron
DeSanctimonious.”
A
spokesman for Trump did not
respond to a request for comment Saturday.
Trump has strongly hinted he
will announce another White
House bid in the coming days,
though allies have urged him to
delay amid fears he could hurt
the GOP’s chances in a December
runoff for a Senate seat in Georgia. The former president retains
huge support among the GOP
base, and it’s unclear whether
Republican dismay over the election will translate into sustained
backlash.
But publicly and privately
since Tuesday, many Republicans — including some longtime
Trump allies — have suggested
the party needs a new leader.
The GOP field for 2024 could
be crowded — many current and
former Republican leaders have
signaled interest in running,
touring early primary states and
swing-state battlegrounds. With
national name recognition, appeal to many Trump voters and a
big war chest left over from his
reelection campaign, DeSantis is
well positioned to take the spotlight, many said.
Polling by YouGov right after
the election found that Republicans and GOP-leaning independents preferred DeSantis to
Trump as a 2024 candidate, a
reversal from their findings
about a month ago.
John Thomas, a Republican
strategist who is organizing the
super PAC to boost DeSantis,
said that since the election Tuesday he’s gotten a new surge of
donors and volunteers, including
from Republicans who several
months ago appeared to be on
the “Trump train” and now are
“sick of it.” Many untested Republican candidates who Trump
helped hoist to victory in GOP
primaries lost in the general
election.
“We’ve got to do something
differently,” said Thomas.
A person in touch with DeSantis’s team said an apparatus of
consultants who could run a
presidential bid is “in place, if
DeSantis decides to take the next
steps” toward running. DeSantis
also has roughly $70 million left
over from the massive haul he
raised for reelection, according

THOMAS SIMONETTI FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) greets supporters following a speech
at a “Unite and Win” rally in Clearwater, Fla., on Nov. 5.

to another person in contact
with the governor’s team.
Should DeSantis transfer the
money into a super PAC — a kind
of committee required to operate
independently of any possible
presidential campaign — that
could nonetheless provoke complaints before the Federal Election Commission. The federal
regulator, however, has not taken
an aggressive approach to enforcement in recent years. Its
members, who are divided evenly between Democrats and Republicans, increasingly deadlock
on key questions.
DeSantis, 44, was elected governor in 2018 while leaning into
his alignment with Trump. But
he has built his own political
brand in what he calls the
“free state of Florida,” rejecting
coronavirus restrictions and denouncing “wokeness” in the
media, big companies and
schools.
Some think DeSantis’s decisive victory has bought him time
to ponder his next move. “I have
always thought after Nov. 8, if he
secured 55 to 60 percent of the
vote, that would be a potential
launching pad for his presidential ambitions,” said Anthony
Verdugo, the executive director
of Christian Family Coalition
Florida. “And certainly, the stars
are aligning, and everything
seems to be falling into place.”
Christina Pushaw, a staffer
with DeSantis’s campaign, noted
on social media that the governor’s reelection margins were
wider than the current margin of
victory for another potential
2024 contender — Democratic
Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, who has positioned himself
as DeSantis’s combative bluestate foil.
DeSantis carried Miami-Dade
County by 11 points, becoming
the first Republican candidate
for governor in 20 years to win a
county where Latinos make up
69 percent of the population. In
an bigger shock for beleaguered
Democrats, DeSantis narrowly
carried Palm Beach County,
which had been a key pillar of
support for Democrats, and he
flipped the counties that include
both Jacksonville and Tampa.
In January, Florida Republicans will control every statewide
office for the first time in more
than 100 years — which some
attribute in part to DeSantis’s
coattails.
“He is running toward the
fights, and not away,” said Christian Ziegler, a GOP strategist
who is also vice-chairman of the
Florida Republican Party, adding, “across the country, there is
that tone that people want to see
someone who can get the job
done, and fight for them.”
Still, some Democrats said
they are not fearful of facing
DeSantis in a national campaign.
Joshua Karp, a Washingtonbased Democratic strategist who
advised both Crist and Rep. Val
Demings (D-Fla.) in her Senate
race, predicted DeSantis would
“get eaten alive” in a competitive
GOP primary.
“Presidential politics is littered with governors who got
lucky in their home state politics,
ran a few smart plays, but
weren’t prepared when they got
hit with other talent from out of
state,” said Karp.
When DeSantis might announce a presidential bid, if he
goes ahead, is unclear. Some
supporters and strategists predicted he would wait until Florida’s legislative session, where
GOP supermajorities pave the
way for DeSantis to enact his
agenda and pursue policies popular with the party base.
As Trump escalated his tirades
against DeSantis after the election, the outside adviser to DeSantis said the governor “is not
going to take the bait,” was not
interested in a public fight and
was focused on responding to a

hurricane after the election as
Trump raged online. Hurricane Nicole made landfall just
south of Vero Beach early
Thursday morning, flooding
parts of the coastline while
knocking out power to more
than 200,000 homes and businesses.
Thomas said his plans for the
pro-DeSantis super PAC project
went on pause this summer after
the GOP rallied around Trump
amid an FBI investigation into
his handling of classified documents. Trump seemed increasingly likely to run, Thomas said,
and going head-to-head with
him seemed more risky.
Tuesday changed the calculus
— even as Thomas anticipates
DeSantis might avoid directly
criticizing Trump in a matchup.
“If DeSantis doesn’t have
the desire to lay out the contrast
between [him] and Trump as this
primary evolves, we’re going to
be there … we’ll rip the bark
off of Trump if we have to,” he
said. “And that’s coming from
somebody who’s very proTrump.”
Craig Robinson, a prominent
conservative blogger in all-important Iowa, said he’d still put
his money on Trump for GOP
nominee in 2024. “He’s Donald
Trump,” said Robinson. “He’s bigger than life. You saw what
Trump did to 16 candidates the
last time. It's not easy. He’s a
bulldog.”
“We’re still in the honeymoon
glow of his reelection,” he said of
DeSantis, “but I think there’s
some really tough decisions to be
made.”
Interviews with GOP strategists, activists, elected officials,
donors and voters showed considerable hesitancy about backing either Trump or DeSantis in a
potential matchup. Don Tapia, a
GOP donor and former member
of the Trump administration
who is invited to Trump’s “big
announcement” at Mar-a-Lago
on Tuesday, said he knew who
would get his vote in a contested
primary — but declined to give a
name.
He did criticize Trump’s public
broadsides against DeSantis and
said he believes Trump’s endorsements hurt the party Tuesday.
“This election we had more
solid issues than we have had in
the past 20 years,” Tapia said.
“And look at the results. Look at
the results.”
One national Republican
fundraiser long loyal to Trump
blamed a “Trump factor” for the
GOP’s dismal showing Tuesday
and said the election — and
Trump’s attacks on DeSantis and
another potential 2024 rival, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) —
had finally repelled them. This
person said they would be “all in”
for DeSantis.
Others have aired their concerns with Trump publicly. In
Virginia, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears (R), a former Trump
booster, suggested he had become “a liability to the mission.”
Mike Pompeo, a former secretary
of state under Trump and potential 2024 contender, tweeted that
conservatives are elected “when
we deliver” rather than “rail on
social media.”
On the west coast of Florida,
GOP activist Cindy Spray said
she is “just going to wait to see
where the cards fall” before she
thinks about the presidential
race. She says she would be torn
between Trump and DeSantis
and suspects GOP voters may be
ready for a presidential nominee
who doesn’t “come across as
harsh.”
“It’s not about what you say,
it’s how you say it,” Spray said. “I
think people want to hear a
positive message and stop the
negativity.”

Midterm Elections

‘Election Month’: Why Arizona is still counting its votes
In Maricopa County,
about 80 percent of voters
requested early ballots
Y VONNE W INGETT
S ANCHEZ
AND R EIS T HEBAULT

BY

phoenix — In Arizona, there is
no “Election Day.”
Locals know it as “Election
Month,” a weeks-long political
extravaganza that begins in October and extends through the middle of November as election workers slog through hundreds of
thousands of early ballots tucked
inside green and white envelopes.
In Maricopa County, home to
Phoenix, the vote counting unfolds inside a gargantuan downtown building resembling a warehouse. Security officers monitor
who comes and goes, and workers
wearing blue latex gloves furiously sort ballot envelopes while ’80s
pop and ’90s hip-hop blares. A
track recently in rotation: Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do
It.”
Nearby, through a maze of
corridors and walls plastered
with maps of the second-largest
voting jurisdiction in the country,
a lobby that does not usually see a
lot of action is now the nerve
center of American politics. Television crews relay news about a
complicated vote-counting process from this newly branded
swing state to audiences around
the world. So many reporters
pack inside that there are not
enough chairs. Some bring their
own, while others plop onto the
floor.
The attention is unprecedented in this county, which in 2020
was central to attempts by Donald Trump and his supporters to
overturn the former president’s
loss. Anticipating a maelstrom
during the 2022 election, the
county’s governing board and
election officials worked for
months to try to set public expectations for how the November
results would roll out.
Even in the best scenarios, they

JOSHUA LOTT/THE WASHINGTON POST

Election workers process ballots at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center in Phoenix on Thursday. As of Saturday night,
according to county officials, roughly 88 percent of the nearly 1.3 million votes cast had been counted.

repeatedly said, it could take as
many as 12 days to finish counting ballots. It is a time frame
familiar to anyone who has
worked in and around politics
here but one that many Republican candidates and party activists have cast as suspicious and
unacceptable.
At a time when Maricopa
County needed a near-perfect
election, some printers used to
produce ballots on-demand
failed at about a third of polling
locations on Election Day. The
problems caused delays and fueled a viral spread of misinformation and accusations of malfeasance. Local leaders have noted
the vote-counting operation has
not changed. But the nature of its
politics has. The fast-growing and

diversifying Maricopa County has
turned from deep red to purple,
making statewide contests more
competitive than ever.
“Here is the issue. We have so
many close races that everyone is
still paying attention to Maricopa
County,” Bill Gates, the GOP chair
of the Maricopa County governing board, told reporters packed
into the lobby this past week.
“Those other states, like Florida,
those races were blowouts, no
one is paying attention.” It is not a
criticism, he said, but “this is how
we do things in Maricopa County.
We follow the law. These are the
laws that were put in place by the
state legislature.”
At a Friday news conference,
Gates was direct and occasionally
exasperated as he answered re-

peated questions about the longstanding practices in the state.
“For folks who have followed
Arizona politics for many years,
this is very, very common,” Gates
said. “I know people are very
anxious to get the results, but
there is nothing out of the ordinary here.”
Why does it take so long to
count votes in Maricopa
County?
Two words: Early. Voting.
It has been offered for decades,
and it is popular. In Maricopa
County, about 80 percent of voters asked for early ballots that can
be mailed, put in secure drop
boxes, or handed in at polling
locations on Election Day. Given
that this is the fourth-largest

county in the nation by population, that adds up to a lot of
ballots.
When ballots arrive downtown, the work begins in a process that includes matching signatures on envelopes with signature
samples on file. The ballots zip
over to bipartisan teams that
remove them from envelopes and
then send them to tabulation.
Video cameras transmit feeds
that voters can watch online. In
recent years, Trump, other Republican candidates and activists
attacked the early voting system
and instructed supporters to vote
in person or to drop off their
ballots on Election Day.
Voters listened. This year
290,000 people returned their
early ballots at polling locations

on Election Day instead of returning them earlier, a 70 percent
increase from the last record in
2020. Those ballots had to be
transported to downtown Phoenix from across the county, and
election workers could not begin
processing them until after Election Day.
While the holdup is routine, it
has provided fodder for those on
the right, including Republican
gubernatorial nominee Kari
Lake, who once covered state
politics as a local television anchor, to accuse the county of
malfeasance or incompetence.
Those claims have been fanned
by a right-wing media ecosystem
eager to seize on anything that
seems out of the ordinary.
“To see national networks out
there and their hosts not being
truthful about why it is taking
this period of time, that is frustrating to these people back here,
who are doing an incredible job
working through Veterans Day
weekend,” Gates said Friday, gesturing to election workers behind
him. “We are doing things the
right way. And I appreciate that
you are all here, but we are not
doing anything wrong at all. And
that someone from here would
suggest that we are doing something wrong, that is frustrating.”
How many votes are left to
count in Arizona?
Maricopa County residents
cast nearly 1.3 million votes in
this election, and nearly 88 percent had been counted as of
Saturday night, according to
county officials. Of the ballots left
to count, Gates said most are
early ballots that were dropped
off on Election Day. Election
workers were pulling 14- to 18hour days through the federal
holiday and over the weekend.
When will counting be done
in Maricopa County?
Officials said they expect to
have 95 percent to 99 percent of
votes counted by early this week,
perhaps as soon as Tuesday. However, depending on the breakdown of the results released before then, races could be called

Midterm Elections
What is the status of the key
races?
Senate: Sen. Mark Kelly (D)
was projected Friday to win reelection over Republican challenger Blake Masters, a venture
capitalist. Kelly led by nearly six
points with nearly 88 percent of
ballots counted late Saturday.
Arizona governor: This race is
still tight. With 88 percent of
votes counted as of Saturday
night, Arizona Secretary of State
Katie Hobbs (D) was leading with
51 percent of the vote over Lake,
who had 49 percent.

Arizona secretary of state:

Democrat Adrian Fontes was projected to win Friday, defeating
Republican Mark Finchem, a farright state lawmaker who sought
oversight of Arizona elections
while groundlessly pushing to
decertify the results from 2020.
What other Arizona races
were decided after protracted
vote counts?
It typically takes 10 to 12 days
to finish counting all ballots, said
Fields Moseley, the Maricopa
County communications director. Here are some recent examples.

l 2020: Nine days for most
outlets to declare Joe Biden the
winner.

The last presidential election
was the highest-profile race in
Arizona history, and the incredibly narrow margins divided election analysts. Late on Election
Day in 2020, with about 75 percent of ballots counted, Fox News
called the race for Biden. The
Associated Press did the same
hours later.
But many other major outlets
refrained and vote counting continued for over a week until many
analysts confirmed the early calls
the following Thursday. In Maricopa County, officials did not
finish counting all 2.1 million
ballots cast in the Nov. 3 election
until the afternoon of Nov. 13.
l 2018: Six days to declare
Kyrsten Sinema the winner.

The last midterm election solidified the new status of Arizona
as a battleground state, and Democrat Kyrsten Sinema was declared the winner the Monday
following Election Day, some six
days after many voters cast their
ballots. By the time the race was
called, the Arizona Republic estimated, some 170,000 votes, most-

ly from Maricopa and Pima counties, were still being tallied.
The race was one of the most
closely watched in the nation,
and while outside observers agonized over the length of the count,
the Republican nominee, Martha
McSally, did not question the
results and quickly congratulated
Sinema on her victory. As Sinema
gained on McSally during the
ballot counting, Trump said that
votes had “appeared out of the
wilderness” for the Democrat, a
sentiment that took hold among
his supporters.

the protracted Arizona count was
never in the national spotlight. In
the end, it took Maricopa County
officials 10 days to finish counting
ballots.
There is precedent in Arizona
for especially close and contentious races to drag on for weeks.
In 2014, residents of the 2nd
District in southeast Arizona had
to wait until December to find out
who would represent them in the
House. McSally won by the paperthin margin of 167 votes after a
recount and lengthy legal battles.

printed ballots for voters that
could not be immediately processed by vote-counting machines, causing chaos and confusion. Voters were told they could
wait for a fix, cast a ballot at a
different location or put their
completed ballot in a secure drop
box to be counted later.
About 17,000 ballots were submitted this way, more than usual,
although county officials insist
the extra counting is not slowing
them down. Operatives for both
political parties say those ballots
could decide the winners of tight
contests.

The Associated Press projected
the state for Trump two days after
Election Day, but he had already
secured the presidency, meaning

What caused those problems?

Tuesday and had been used during the August primary election
and the 2020 election with the
same settings without problems.
Election teams are retrieving
the printers from voting locations. A Maricopa County spokesperson said all of the printers will
be investigated after the counting
process takes place. It is unclear
who will run that investigation
and when it will begin.
Arizona Republicans are
pushing for changes. Would
those speed up counting?
It depends. Some Republicans
could support an earlier deadline
for returning early ballots, an
idea that could maintain a
lengthy early voting system while
also giving election workers time

on the front end to collect and
process ballots.
But other Republicans, including Lake, want “one-day voting,”
which would require people to
cast their ballots in assigned precincts. The current system here
lets people vote at any location.
Lake has also said ballots should
be counted by hand rather than
by tabulation machines.
The proposed changes would
“create tremendous logistical
challenges,” said Richard Herrera, an emeritus professor of political science at Arizona State University. The overhaul would require expanding the number of
polling places and dramatically
increasing the number of staffers.
“There was difficulty this election in having enough poll workers,” Herrera said. “Imagine if you
had to increase that more than
tenfold. That is a tremendous
number of polling locations to
staff.”
Election experts say handcounting ballots is less accurate
than the tabulators. “There is no
fatigue involved, no eyestrain involved, just a machine,” Herrera
said.
Earlier this year, Lake and
Finchem, the Republican nominee for secretary of state, failed to
persuade a federal judge to do
away with vote-counting machines.
Testifying as part of that legal
fight, Maricopa County election
director Scott Jarrett said 25,000
temporary employees would have
to be hired and 2 million square
feet of space would be needed,
possibly as large as a sports stadium.
Jarrett noted at the time that
the county was struggling to hire
3,000 temporary staff for the
August primary election.

Midterm Elections

Liberal outrage helps Democrats flip power at state level
MIDTERMS FROM A1

vailed by 5,000 votes against a
Republican opponent who had
worked for state legislators who
opposed abortion rights and supported voting restrictions.
Brennan, 45, who lives in Bucks
County, a Philadelphia suburb,
had run unsuccessfully in 2018
and lost in the primary by 55 votes.
After the 2020 election, he served
as an attorney for a county where
Donald Trump challenged the results. He credited his win Tuesday
to the 10,000 doors he personally
knocked, out of 40,000 by his campaign, and voters splitting their
tickets because of an aversion to
extremist Republican candidates,
especially GOP gubernatorial
nominee Doug Mastriano.
“People told me they want functional government. They were upset with the top of the ticket in
Republican races. They were upset with election denials and the
loss of choice,” Brennan said, attributing Democratic success to
“talking about functional government and not going down these
rabbit holes.”
Brennan was excited by the
prospect of a Democratic House
with the leverage to press Senate
Republicans to moderate on abortion, education and other issues.
“Being there and having your
voice heard is one thing, but being
part of the majority and having a
chance to make policy is something I’m really looking forward
to,” he said.
With some states still counting,
Republicans control both chambers of 26 state legislatures, down
from 30 before the election. Democrats fully control 19, up from 17
before Tuesday.
“A couple of legislative races
won by a few votes means the
difference between some of the
most draconian abortion laws
passing, restrictions on elections,
stopping a gutting of a state’s ability to protect people from polluters,” said Daniel Squadron, a former state senator from New York
and founder of the super PAC the
States Project, which helped finance some of the races.
The Democratic victories appeared to have been fueled by a
wave of liberal outrage at the Supreme Court ruling that returned
the power to determine abortion
rights to state capitals and the
Trump-led effort to overturn the
2020 presidential election.
At polling places across the nation Tuesday, voters expressed
frustration at the soaring cost of
living but also indicated their biggest fear was government extremism in the right.
For Matt Kroski, 43, who dislikes both major parties, Tuesday
was about voting against candidates more than anything else —
and these days, he said outside a
Phoenix polling station, Republicans scare him the most.
“I’m looking for people who are
more in tune with the public, and
more in tune with what’s right for
people, rather than what’s right
for their pocketbooks,” he said.
In Grand Rapids, Cody Canfield, 30, a self-described independent who leans Democratic,
said his vote was driven largely by
his support of the successful referendum to enshrine reproductive
rights in Michigan’s constitution.
“I have a girlfriend who I’m
going to marry, and I don’t need
her life in danger just because
somebody says so,” he said. “It
scares her to have that right taken
away from her.”
The party’s unexpected legislative successes came after a new,
laserlike focus on state races by
both longtime operatives at places
like the Democratic Legislative
Campaign Committee (DLCC),
which rarely receives much help
from the national party, and other
relative newcomers to this lowerprofile battlefield.
Democrats have complained
for years that while Republicans
targeted state legislative races
with huge financial investments,
their own party and its donors
focused instead on higher-profile
contests featuring splashier candidates, even ones doomed to
near-certain odds of defeat. Last
year’s redistricting, in which Republican-controlled legislatures
were able to carve maps to their
own benefit, brought a fresh reminder of the stakes of ignoring
those races.
“State legislatures are seen by
national Democrats as the minor
leagues,” Squadron said. The midterm elections “proved they’re a
game of their own and one that
you have to focus on.”
Squadron’s group spent about
$60 million on state legislative
races, particularly in Arizona,
Maine, Michigan, Nevada and
Pennsylvania, in the belief that
those legislatures were most at
risk of having GOP lawmakers
overturn a presidential race in favor of Trump or another Republi-

NICK HAGEN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist join hands Tuesday after Whitmer’s celebratory speech at the Michigan Democrats’ election night party in Detroit.
Democrats won Michigan’s House and Senate, which with Whitmer’s reelection rout will give the party full control of the state for the first time since after the 1982 election.

CAROLINE GUTMAN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Supporters attend a Nov. 6 rally for Pennsylvania Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro in King of Prussia, Pa. Shapiro won
handily over far-right GOP rival Doug Mastriano, and Democrats are poised to take control of the state House for the first time since 2008.

can. Another Democratic PAC,
Forward Majority, kicked in
$20 million. The DLCC spent
$50 million and its Republican
counterpart, the Republican State
Leadership Committee, spent
$30 million.
“Republicans had everything in
their favor: record fundraising
and a midterm political environment under a Democratic president, and they have little to show
for it,” said DLCC President Jessica
Post. Democrats, she said, “gained
critical ground for the decade
ahead.”
This combined budget is a pittance compared with how Democratic donors focus on long-shot
races for Senate — Democrats running in Iowa, Maine and South
Carolina two years ago raised
more than $250 million combined
for their Senate bids, with all three
losing by wide margins.
Republicans did have some reason for celebration this week. In
Kansas, they retained veto-proof
supermajorities in the legislature,
allowing them to impose their will
even after incumbent Democrat
Gov. Laura Kelly’s reelection victory Tuesday.
In Ohio, not only did Gov. Mike
DeWine (R) win another term in a
landslide, but the GOP-controlled
legislature maintained supermajorities in both houses and can
chart a deeply conservative course
in the next few years. In Texas,

Gov. Greg Abbott won reelection
to a third term as fellow Republicans widened their majorities in
the legislature. The party also
made gains in Iowa and South
Carolina.
And in Florida, as Gov. Ron
DeSantis (R) won a second term in
a rout, Republicans claimed supermajorities in both legislative
bodies, the largest in a decade.
“The days of Florida being a
swing state are over,” said Dee
Duncan, president of the Republican legislative campaign group.
But Republicans’ hopes for trifecta victories — governor and
both chambers — in several other
states were dashed. Their bids to
win supermajorities in North
Carolina and Wisconsin’s legislatures, so they could overrule Democratic governors in those states,
fell short.
In Nevada, where votes were
still being counted, experts say
Democrats can hold on to their
legislative majorities despite the
loss by Gov. Steve Sisolak (D). And
although Vermont reelected its
Republican governor, a coalition
of Democrats and members of the
state Progressive Party in the legislature maintained its supermajority. Races in Arizona, for governor
and the legislature, remain too
close to call.
Some of the Democratic victories came after redistricting battles that ended with more favor-

able lines than the gerrymandered
districts of the prior decade,
through either the force of Democratic governors having a say or
successful legal challenges to
GOP-drawn maps.
“A fair map is everything,” said
Minnesota House Speaker Melissa
Hortman of the DemocraticFarmer-Labor Party.
Hortman said Democrats outside of Minnesota’s blue cities also
received targeted help from those
in safer districts. Somali American
state Rep. Mohamud Noor of St.
Paul contacted Somali voters in St.
Cloud and connected them with
volunteers and fundraisers on behalf of state Rep. Dan Wolgamott.
He ultimately won reelection by
540 votes.
“What he did to help us surmount that language barrier was
what helped us win,” Hortman
said. “That’s how we’ll have to
govern. We’ll have a large diversity
of opinions. We are a big-tent party.”
In Michigan, the Democratic
takeover benefited from the coattails of Whitmer’s reelection rout,
the big margin given to referendums that placed reproductive
rights into the state constitution,
and district lines drawn by a nonpartisan commission.
The GOP candidates Democrats were running against also
embraced some extreme positions, such as denying the results

of the 2020 presidential election,
that prompted many voters to
overcome their concerns about
the economy under President
Biden.
“It just really leaned into the
culture wars, and voters are tired
of that,” state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D) said. McMorrow drew national attention last spring with a
viral speech condemning Republicans’ “hollow, hateful scheme”
against LGBTQ rights after a colleague accused her of “grooming”
children.
“Inflation and gas prices is
something that changes, but losing a fundamental right never
goes away.”
McMorrow, 36, noted that this
is the first time Democrats took
full control of the levers of power
in Lansing in her lifetime.
For more than 20 years, Pennsylvania Democrats have dominated in the biggest races, winning five of the six contests for
governor, all in blowouts. The
Democratic nominee has won seven of the last eight presidential
races there.
Yet Democrats have been largely powerless in Harrisburg, as Republicans have had full control of
the legislature for 24 of the last 28
years. A very narrow Democratic
state House majority got wiped
out in 2010.
This year, state Democrats in
Harrisburg were able to persuade

voters of the impact of the legislative elections by pointing to a GOP
effort to place a wide-ranging
package of state constitutional
amendments on the ballot next
year to restrict abortion, climate
protections and voting rights —
including raising the voting age to
21 if federal law allowed.
Republicans there had used
their majorities in both chambers
to pass the package. By law, a
Democratic governor couldn’t
veto the amendments.
The package would have gone
up for a second vote early next year
and, had it passed, been on the
ballot next spring. Now House
Democrats plan to block it.
“This is why flipping a chamber
is so important and historical,”
said Rep. Leanne Krueger, who
chairs the state House Democratic
campaign committee.
Even given the new makeup in
Harrisburg, it’s unclear how much
Democrats will be able to roll back
Republican initiatives, since conservatives still control the state
Senate. For people like Squadron,
however, being able to block some
GOP efforts is itself a big win.
And the stakes escalated with
the Supreme Court’s decision to
hear a case this term that some
conservative legal scholars argue
could lead to legislatures, not the
popular vote, determining which
candidate wins a state’s presidential electoral votes.
When the States Project staff
got to work for this campaign,
Squadron said, it targeted 73 specific races in key presidential
swing states, aiming to flip
enough legislatures to thwart any
effort to overturn the 2024 presidential election.
He cast their effort as a longoverdue response to conservatives
like the billionaire Koch family,
whose political network has
poured hundreds of millions of
dollars into shaping state campaigns and policies.
“They got it,” Squadron told reporters during a Thursday briefing, referring to the Kochs.
McMorrow, the Michigan state
senator, listed as key priorities for
the state’s newly Democratic legislature funding for schools, protecting the Great Lakes and shoring up voting rights protections.
In a valedictory news conference Wednesday, Walz and other
top Minnesota Democrats talked
about a cautious agenda — given
that they hold a mere one-seat
edge in the Senate — but they also
plan to move forward on codifying
abortion rights, legalizing marijuana and expanding paid family
leave.
That was music to Squadron’s
ears, having spent just $3 million
in Minnesota and $16 million in
Michigan.
“The return on investment is
unbelievable,” he said.

Houston and Kane from Washington.

How a once-alluring crypto empire failed in a week
Sam Bankman-Fried’s
FTX quickly found
political clout before flop
BY

T ORY N EWMYER

Sam Bankman-Fried, the
30-year-old wunderkind of cryptocurrency, spent tens of millions
of dollars over the past year trying to reshape how Washington
and the world think about finance.
The crypto exchange he founded, FTX, had become an industrydominating business in just three
years, valued at $32 billion as
recently as January. He amassed
political clout in an even bigger
hurry, emerging from obscurity
to become the second-largest
Democratic donor in the midterm
elections.
By Friday, the money and the
clout
had
disappeared:
Bankman-Fried resigned from
FTX, which then filed for bankruptcy. On Saturday, the company
revealed it was investigating “unauthorized transactions” worth
more than $400 million and that
it had moved all funds into offline
storage. And Bankman-Fried was
left facing harrowing questions
about his role in the most catastrophic collapse the notoriously
volatile crypto industry has so far
seen.
With his disheveled appearance, super-casual manner and
earnest insistence that he was
trying to use his money to save
the world, Bankman-Fried stood
apart from the stereotype of crypto brats blowing instant riches on
Lamborghinis and yachts. His
purported power over the crypto
market drew comparisons to Wall
Street financier J.P. Morgan, yet
he saw himself as using his fortune for good, not greed.
How his career careened off
course is a tale of ambition, hubris and ultimately recklessness
— the full contours of which have
yet to be publicly revealed.
When Bankman-Fried was just
28, he built a platform that
offered investors easy access to
buying, selling and stashing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The offshore exchange allowed
investors to place risky bets not
allowed in the United States,
though it was easy enough for
American users to find workarounds; a U.S. affiliate offered
limited services. With a massive
marketing push — including a
flashy Super Bowl ad and naming
rights to the arena that is the
home of Miami Heat — he sought
to make crypto trading a mainstream pastime.
Meanwhile, he was using his
newfound political clout to sell
Washington on a regulatory regime that promised to work to his
advantage. The contrasts were
glaring and never easily reconciled: As crypto’s self-appointed
ambassador to Washington,
Bankman-Fried was pressing for
federal regulation even as he
dodged U.S. oversight from his
corporate headquarters in the Bahamas.
The executive acknowledged
that FTX’s aggressive lobbying
made him an outlier in crypto.
“Outside of us, there weren’t
many people engaging,” Bankman-Fried said in an interview
last month with The Washington
Post. “I think that means we have
to do a better job as an industry
more generally engaging.”
In March, he appeared at the
House Democratic retreat in Philadelphia with his arm around
House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (DCalif.). In April, he turned up in
the office of Caroline Pham, a
Republican member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, less than a week after she
assumed the post, along with
Mark Wetjen, the former acting

LAM YIK/BLOOMBERG NEWS

Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder and chief executive of FTX, is pictured in Hong Kong in 2021. Bankman-Fried resigned from his position last week ahead of the company
filing for bankruptcy. The fall of his crypto exchange — which was valued at $32 billion in January — is the most catastrophic collapse in the industry to date.

chair of the agency and now
Bankman-Fried’s top Washington
adviser. Hill staffers say they regularly spotted him around the
Capitol, shuttling between meetings flanked by Wetjen and Eliora
Katz, who joined FTX this summer from the staff of the Senate
Banking Committee’s top Republican, Patrick J. Toomey (Pa.)
Many crypto die-hards viewed
his overtures to Washington as a
betrayal of crypto’s founding mission. That set the stage for his
most formidable adversary —
Changpeng Zhao, chief executive
of Binance, a rival crypto exchange — to crush him with stunning and decisive swiftness.
Last Sunday, Zhao announced
he was selling off his investment
in FTX: $580 million of a crypto
token FTX had been using to prop
up its debts. “We are not against
anyone,” Zhao wrote on Twitter.
“But we won’t support people
who lobby against other industry
players behind their backs.”
When Zhao fled, other FTX
customers panicked, inundating
FTX with withdrawal requests
the company could not meet.
Bankman-Fried was forced to ask
Zhao to buy his company. The
Binance chief accepted and then
reneged, fueling allegations that
Bankman-Fried was using FTX
customer deposits to cover risky
bets placed by Alameda Research,
a sister trading firm. BankmanFried has denied the allegations.
Now, the regulators BankmanFried had been wooing are circling. His unorthodox management style — maintaining a relatively skeletal staff and presiding
over an exchange interconnected
with a sister trading firm and a
U.S. affiliate — are under scrutiny.
Bankman-Fried keeps tweeting apologies. “I’m really sorry,
again, that we ended up here,” he
wrote Friday. But he has yet to
offer answers to customers and
investors wondering where their
money has gone and whether
they will recover it.
The saga reflects a head-

spinning fall from grace. Just a
few months ago, Bankman-Fried
was toasted as crypto’s Warren
Buffett; now he’s drawing comparisons to convicted fraudster
Elizabeth Holmes.
Raised in the Bay Area by parents who are Stanford Law School
professors, Bankman-Fried headed East for college, studying physics and math at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
the 2010s. While there, he developed an interest in effective altruism, a philosophy that encourages adherents to earn as much as
they can so that they can donate
as much as possible to minimize
suffering in the world.
After graduating in 2014, Bankman-Fried went to work for Jane
Street Capital, a Wall Street investment firm. He quit three
years later and founded his own
crypto-focused trading firm,
Alameda
Research,
then
launched FTX in 2019. He moved
his budding empire from Hong
Kong to the Bahamas last fall.
FTX is not the first crypto
business to collapse in recent
months. The industry has been
rocked by a sell-off that wiped out
two-thirds of crypto market
value, roughly $2 trillion, as the
value of bitcoin has fallen from
roughly $68,000 a year ago to
$17,000 now. The failure of stablecoin issuer Terra Luna in May set
off a chain reaction that brought
down lenders Voyager Digital and
Celsius Network and the crypto
hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.
But Bankman-Fried spent massively to market FTX as a trustworthy investment platform. The
company paid $135 million for
the naming rights to the Miami
Heat arena; it signed a deal with
Major League Baseball to affix its
logo to umpires’ uniforms. It added pop-culture star power by recruiting football legend Tom Brady and wife Gisele Bündchen as
spokespeople and airing a Super
Bowl ad featuring comedian Larry David.
Bankman-Fried also put him-

self forward as an unlikely public
face of the company, becoming a
constant presence on Twitter,
conference stages, podcasts, cable television and print media. He
understood that his sartorial
quirkiness — he often appeared
in shorts and T-shirts under an
unkempt mop of curls — presented a disarming contrast to slicker
peers in both crypto and traditional finance, people close to
him said.
In Washington, BankmanFried embraced the halo effect
conferred by his philanthropic
work. A billboard advertising
FTX went up in Union Station
earlier this year, featuring a smiling photo of the crypto magnate
and the words, “I’m in on crypto
to make a global impact for good.”
That double-barreled pitch
was on display again last month,
when he hosted a happy hour to
lobby a half-dozen Democratic
Senate aides on his crypto regulatory agenda at the Capitol Hill
headquarters of his organization
dedicated to preventing future
pandemics.
Attendees said Bankman-Fried
used the event to argue that Congress should urgently pass a bipartisan Senate bill that would
hand significant oversight of centralized crypto exchanges — including FTX — to the CFTC,
which is viewed as a friendlier
alternative to the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The session at the $3.3 million private
townhouse ended when Bankman-Fried’s younger brother,
Gabe — director of Guarding
Against Pandemics, the advocacy
group based there — stopped by,
thanked the aides for their support on pandemic preparedness
issues and pulled the crypto executive into a separate meeting.
The bill Bankman-Fried was
pitching — the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act,
sponsored by Sens. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and John Boozman (R-Ark.) — has drawn criticism both from advocates of

stricter financial regulation for
not going far enough and from
some crypto operators who say it
is too draconian. Yet those close
to the process say BankmanFried’s advocacy pushed the
measure into potential consideration for year-end action by a
Congress that remains, for now,
under Democratic control.
For Bankman-Fried, the bill
would provide his brand of crypto
finance a regulatory blessing that
would help him grow his business. He believed it would usher
in a wave of investment from
traditional players scared off by
the industry’s Wild West reputation.
“If you talk to most institutions
right now, they’re interested,
they’re dabbling,” he told The
Post. “But for them to feel comfortable making a big move in the
digital asset ecosystem, they need
to see regulatory clarity.”
Even some crypto lobbyists
were unaware how much traction
Bankman-Fried had gained in
Congress. But in late September,
they got a wake-up call during a
New York dinner hosted by Ryan
Selkis, chief executive of crypto
market intelligence firm Messari.
The event, for which Selkis
rented out Ernesto’s, a Spanish
restaurant on the Lower East
Side, was meant in part to celebrate the industry’s maturation
in Washington. But talk quickly
turned to the latest developments
on the Hill.
“Can we talk about the elephant in the room?” Kristin
Smith, executive director of the
Blockchain Association, said to
the group, participants said.
“Sam is selling out the industry to
get a monopoly for FTX.”
Bankman-Fried was not at the
New York dinner. But last month,
he attempted to confront those
concerns at another private meeting of crypto lobbyists at the
Kimpton Banneker Hotel in
Washington. Organized by Selkis
as a follow-up session, the gathering aimed to forge consensus on

strategy among the industry’s top
government affairs representatives.
The FTX chief made a case for
rallying behind the Senate bill,
arguing in part for the virtue of
establishing the CFTC’s authority,
attendees said. But the pitch
failed to win converts.
“It wasn’t a conversation, so to
speak,” one attendee said, speaking on the condition of anonymity
to discuss a private meeting, implying that Bankman-Fried believed he alone spoke for the
industry.
In the wake of FTX’s collapse,
critics of the bill are arguing for a
pause in Washington.
“We don’t need more legislation. We need more money and
support for regulators to go after
what is fundamentally a lawless
industry,” said Dennis Kelleher,
president of Better Markets,
which advocates for tougher
financial regulation. “We need
elected officials to prioritize the
public interest rather than
campaign contributors and lobbyists.”
Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried’s
partners are bolting. The Miami
Heat and Miami-Dade County announced Friday they are terminating their relationship with the
company and looking for a new
naming rights partner for the
arena. The Crypto Council for
Innovation, a leading crypto
industry lobbying group, announced they had accepted the
resignation of FTX’s U.S. affiliate.
And the team behind the FTX
Future Fund, one of its philanthropic efforts, said in an open
letter they had quit.
What happens next, on Capitol
Hill and beyond, remains in
doubt. Zhao, for his part, predicted more pain as shock waves from
FTX’s collapse continue to reverberate.
“It’s devastating for the industry,” the Binance chief said at a
conference in Indonesia this
week. “With FTX going down, we
will see cascading effects.”

Yet Magnus’s ambitions to overhaul CBP put him at odds with

Magnus said he sought to make

because I care about this agency,
its mission, and the goals of this

while defying attempts to oust

Magnus said he tried repeatedly to bring much-needed changes

attuned to the needs of career
officials coping with the strains at
the border.
According to Magnus, tensions

Crypto exchange FTX is investigating a potential hack
Nearly $500 million may
be missing following a
bankruptcy filing Friday
BY

L AUREN K AORI G URLEY,
S TEVEN Z EITCHIK
AND J OSEPH M ENN

Bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX is investigating “unauthorized transactions” and has
moved all funds into offline storage.
About $477 million in crypto
funds seem to have disappeared
from FTX in apparently unauthorized transactions after the
company filed for bankruptcy on
Friday, according to the crypto
analytics firm Elliptic. In response, the company has advised
users not to log on to the site,
according to a Telegram post
pinned by FTX general counsel
Ryne Miller, who said doing so
could expose them to further attacks.
The tokens were quickly converted to ether, the second-largest
cryptocurrency, a popular technique used by hackers to prevent
their funds from being seized.
Tom Robinson, co-founder of
Elliptic, clarified the numbers in
an email late Saturday afternoon.
He said that the group had tracked
a total of $663 million that had
moved from FTX. Of that, $477
million is suspected to have been
stolen, with the remainder authorized by FTX itself. He said the
numbers could fluctuate slightly
as the group did more research.
Earlier Saturday afternoon, the
chief security officer at another
major exchange, Kraken, said that
a verified account on its platform
had been used in the breach.
“We know the identity of the
user,” Kraken’s Nick Percoco
tweeted. He said that a statement
from FTX was expected soon.
Meanwhile, a prominent crypto investigator, known online as
ZachXBT, said he had tracked two
accounts that were moving funds
— the hacker and one at FTX that
tried to stem the damage.
“The attacker withdrew assets
from FTX/FTX U.S. and began
selling them for assets that can’t
be frozen,” ZachXBT wrote in a
message to The Washington Post.

FTX is investigating a possible hack into its system after nearly $500 million appears to be missing from the cryptocurrency exchange. In the wake of the crisis, some critics
have called for tighter government scrutiny on cryptocurrency companies, which have largely avoided regulation.

“It appears FTX employees then
began to save the remaining assets.”
Some crypto entities were able
to freeze the hacked assets, making them unusable, he added.
Tether, the coin pegged to the U.S.
dollar, was able to freeze about $31
million.
In his view, it remains unclear
whether the attacker was a person
with inside knowledge of FTX’s
systems. (The blockchain — the
digital ledger used in the analysis
— does not offer personally identifying data.) Some experts have
noted that when a company winds
down operations quickly, security
can be left weakened, aiding opportunistic hackers.
Outside security experts said

that since a verified account was
used at Kraken, and FTX was
warning users not to employ the
app, an insider was probably involved either as a perpetrator or as
a victim who had credentials compromised as a steppingstone in
the attack. “It looks like they have
an app update that is malicious
coming down. If that is verified,
this is someone trying to rob FTX
while they still can before everything is frozen because of Chapter
11,” said Joe Roosen, a hacking
threat researcher at Intel471.
While FTX did not directly respond to The Post for comment
right away, Miller later tweeted a
statement on behalf of new chief
executive John J. Ray III that the
company’s executives “continue

—

to make every effort to secure all
assets, wherever located.”
“We have been in contact with,
and are coordinating with law enforcement and relevant regulators,” Ray added.
Miller had tweeted earlier Saturday that the exchange had “initiated precautionary steps to
move all digital assets to cold storage.” Cold storage refers to crypto
wallets that are not connected to
the internet to guard against
hackers. The firm is “investigating
abnormalities with wallet movements,” but the facts remain “unclear” and FTX will “share more
info as soon as we have it,” he
wrote.
FTX appeared to have verified

exchange’s Telegram channel and
has asked customers to stay off the
firm’s website and delete FTX
apps, CoinDesk reported.
The Post could not confirm the
details of messages in the firm’s
private Telegram channel.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the cofounder and chief executive of
FTX, resigned Friday after the exchange he founded had gone from
being an industry giant valued at
$32 billion to facing collapse over
the course of just three years.
In the wake of the crisis, some
critics have called for tighter government scrutiny on crypto companies, which have largely avoided regulation. They say that could
have helped prevent situations
like that at FTX, which is now the

subject of a slew of questions
about a lack of separation between the exchange and Bankman-Fried’s trading firm, Alameda Research.
On Saturday, Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen said she
agreed with the criticism.
“In other regulated exchanges,
you would have segregation of
customer assets,” she told Bloomberg News. “The notion you could
use the deposits of customers of
an exchange and lend them to a
separate enterprise that you control to do leveraged, risky investments — that wouldn’t be something that’s allowed.”
The FBI and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Why the market for vegan, plant-based meat has cooled
High prices, unclear
health benefits hinder
the products’ success
BY

L AURA R EILEY

Plant-based meat, heralded by
many as the death knell to Big
Meat, appears at this moment to
have dealt only a flesh wound.
The promise of high-tech meat
substitutes prompted a frenzy of
celebrity investment and red-hot
initial public stock offerings in
2019. The pandemic saw significant consumer curiosity and a
stampede of newcomers in the
category, including entries from
the world’s largest food and meat
companies, with Tyson, Smithfield, Perdue, Hormel, Nestlé and
others leaping into the fray.
Analysts wrote about the hunger for meat, dairy and egg substitutes among “flexitarians” — nonvegetarians looking for easy
swaps to do less harm to the
environment, animals and their
health. Executives poured in
from other multinational food
companies to nab top jobs in the
nascent industry; fast food giants
added plant-based offerings with
much fanfare.
But then things slowed down.
Meteoric growth in 2020 flattened in 2021 and retail sales have
dropped more than 10 percent in
the past year. Beyond Meat, the
Los Angeles-based purveyor of
plant-based burgers, crumbles,
nuggets and such, saw its stock
price plunge nearly 80 percent
from its peak, and last month the
company announced it would lay
off about 19 percent of its workforce. It’s not just Beyond: Meat
giant JBS announced in early
October that it was shuttering its
two-year-old Planterra business
in the United States. and closing
its 190,000-square-foot Colorado
facility, and McDonald’s has tabled its idea to roll out the McPlant burger nationally.
The industry’s troubles come
despite mounting evidence that
people should, for health and
environmental reasons, reduce
their consumption of beef, lamb,
pork and poultry produced via
traditional animal agriculture.
The Stockholm Environment

NAM Y. HUH/ASSOCIATED PRESS

In the past year, Beyond Meat saw its stock price plunge nearly 80 percent from its peak, and last
month the company announced it would lay off about 19 percent of its workforce.

Institute recently issued a report
that found the production of animal-based foods responsible for
as much as 20 percent of total
greenhouse gas emissions. If
meat consumption continues
along current trends, it will be
impossible to keep global warming below the goal of 1.5 degrees
Celsius, and difficult to stay below 2 degrees Celsius, its authors
said. The report also found the
animal-based food system a key
driver of biodiversity loss.
The past few years have also
seen an avalanche of reports
about the ills of a meat-heavy diet
for human health, for planetary
health, for workers’ health and
for the habitat of the planet’s
animal species.
Meanwhile, the world’s appetite for meat continues to grow.
The global consumption of meat
has more than doubled since
1990, reaching over 339 million
metric tons in 2021, and the
United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that
will rise to 374 metric tons by
2030.
Here are five reasons the market for alt-meat has cooled.

Price
“With inflation, consumers are
less willing to spend extra on a
premium-priced item,” such as
meat substitutes, said Brian Ronholm, director of food policy for
Consumer Reports.
One of the reasons beef was an
attractive place to start for new
plant-based meat companies was
because beef is expensive. Altmeat’s high prices wouldn’t be as
glaring. With time, analysts predicted, beef prices would stay
high while plant-based meat got
cheaper, as companies scaled up
and paid off their start-up costs.
But price parity remains elusive.
Plant-based beef is still twice as
expensive as conventional beef
and plant-based chicken is four
times as expensive as conventional chicken, said Emma Ignaszewski, associate director of the
Good Food Institute, a nonprofit
that promotes alternatives to traditional meat.
Greater affordability will unlock additional consumer markets, experts say, but with high
commodity grain prices and meager harvests on crops like green
and yellow peas (the building

blocks of many alt-meat products
are soy and peas), that may still be
far off.
Fuzzy health benefits
The first generation of simulated meat — Tofurky, Boca burgers
and MorningStar Farms soy patties — was designed for folks who
don’t eat meat, said JP Frossard,
consumer foods analyst at Rabobank. The next generation,
which more closely mimics meat
in texture (many products
“bleed” like real beef ) and flavor,
was for the flexitarian who aimed
to reduce their meat consumption frequency.
“But once the novelty went
away, the consumer started to
read the label,” Frossard said.
“Meat has one ingredient and
now you’re looking at products
with 15. People started asking,
‘What is methyl cellulose and why
am I paying a premium for it?’”
Product manufacturers have
convinced consumers that altmeat is better for the environment and reduces animal cruelty,
but they haven’t convinced consumers that it’s healthier for
them, said Peter Saleh, managing

director and restaurant analyst at
equity research firm BTIG. People
are motivated by self interest, and
until they are convinced it’s better for them, alt-meat will remain
a niche product, Saleh said.
Conventional meat also has
become synonymous with protein, and protein is, for many
people, something you can’t have
too much of, said Julie Guthman,
a sociology professor at University of California at Santa Cruz.
“There are negative associations with fats, carbohydrates
and sugar, but protein has been
this unscathed macronutrient for
a very long time — it’s associated
with vigor, strength and masculinity,” Guthman said.
Most meat substitutes are lower in saturated fat than conventional meat, making them better
for you in that regard. But manufacturers are trying to address
skepticism about their high level
of processing by developing new
products that limit unnecessary
ingredients and chemicals, and
fortifying them with vitamins,
minerals and other micronutrients.
Too many players
There are now more than 60
plant-based meat brands with
over $500,000 in retail sales,
Ignaszewski said. By contrast,
there are only 45 brands of plantbased milk with that level of sales.
“There is so much competition
and it’s a crowded market — no
one expects all these brands to be
there in 10 years,” Frossard said.
Sales of refrigerated meat alternatives are steeply declining,
according to market research
firm IRI, while frozen products
are growing a bit. That is in part
because there’s more jostling for
space in the refrigerated meat
section.
Restaurants not buying in
Independent restaurants were
the first to sell some of the new
generation of plant-based burgers, but in order to thrive they
must work for fast food, where
billions of burgers are sold annually, Saleh said.
Burger King saw success with
its Impossible Whopper, a dead
ringer for the real thing, only a
little squishier. But other fast
food giants haven’t been as fortunate.

McDonald’s launched its McPlant burgers this spring in about
600 stores in the San Francisco
Bay area and Dallas-Fort Worth.
With daily sales much lower than
anticipated, it wasn’t economical
to continue to sell them because
they had to be cooked to order, a
dealbreaker on the drive-through
where speed is of the essence,
Saleh said.
The ho-hum name attached to
the burger, which used a Beyond
patty but didn’t capitalize on that
name recognition, probably
didn’t help, said Elysabeth Alfano, chief executive of VegTech
Invest, an investment firm that
focuses on plant-based companies.
Lack of versatility
Almost all new plant-based
meat companies started with
ground beef and chicken nuggets
or tenders, because they are easier to manufacture than simulated
steak or chicken breast.
But how many of those “guilty
pleasure” quick-serve foods does
the average adult want to eat in a
week?
“Companies need to go beyond
the burger or nugget,” Frossard
said, launching whole-muscle
cuts and meat chunks that can be
used in a stir fry or a stew — in
other words, ingredients home
cooks can cook with.
Alt-milks have continued to
gain market share because of
their versatility and ability to
perform the many functions of
dairy, Frossard said, whether
that’s with cereal, in coffee or in
smoothies or desserts.
Plant-based brands are gearing
up to broaden their product ranges, with Beyond Meat recently
debuting Beyond Steak sliced
strips at Kroger and Walmart,
and Impossible aims to debut its
own filet mignon product soon.
Hype is building with the likely
introduction in the United States
next year of cultivated meat,
made from cell cultures from real
animals that doesn’t necessitate
slaughter. Sofía De La Parra, an
analyst at the investor network
FAIRR Initiative, anticipates cultivated meat will reignite interest
in plant-based products, while
Frossard said the impact is “TBD,”
perhaps serving only to further
crowd the marketplace and confuse the customer.

Among Haitians,
skepticism prevails

Fallout from 2010 intervention shows why people
are leery, even amid a dual cholera and gang crisis
RICHARD PIERRIN/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES

uses a towel to swat flies away
from her daughter, who is
stricken with cholera, at a
clinic run by Doctors Without
Borders in Port-au-Prince on
Friday. Cholera is racing across
the country, and gang violence
has hindered the response. The
Haitian government has asked
for “a specialized armed force”
from abroad to help with the
deadly situation.

BY W IDLORE M ÉRANCOURT
AND A MANDA C OLETTA

port-au-prince, haiti — In a
country where virtually all the
news lately has been bad, Lucmane Tabuto found the announcement that cholera had resurfaced
particularly worrisome.
The 65-year-old former carpenter thought back to his own experience with the waterborne disease
more than a decade ago. U.N.
peacekeepers, deployed to this Caribbean nation after the 2010
earthquake that killed around
220,000 people, improperly disposed of sewage waste and contaminated a river, setting off an
outbreak that killed 10,000 people
and sickened more than 820,000.
Tabuto thought about how he
was hospitalized for weeks and
unable to work for a month. How
his wife and one of his children
almost died of the disease. How
the ordeal devastated his family’s
finances. How he’s still dealing
with the effects — and still waiting
to be made whole.
“They brought cholera to Haiti
and they need to compensate us,”
Tabuto said. “It’s an injustice. It’s
an unspeakable abuse.”
As cholera races across Haiti,
propelled in part by an escalating
security crisis, the United Nations
is mulling a request from Haiti’s
government for “a specialized
armed force” from abroad to quell
the gang violence that has hindered the response and brought
the nation of 11 million to the
precipice of anarchy.
But the request, which has been
backed by U.N. Secretary General
António Guterres and the Biden
administration, is a divisive and
delicate subject here, where the
shadow of a long history of destabilizing foreign interventions, including the U.N. mission that introduced cholera, looms large.
And it’s renewing questions
about accountability and redress.
The United Nations in 2016
pledged $400 million in a “new
approach to cholera,” but has
raised only 5 percent of the sum,
while drawing criticism for failing
to center victims in its decisions.
“It’s really terrible,” said Mario
Joseph, a Haitian lawyer who has
helped lead efforts to seek redress
for cholera victims. “They gave us
cholera, they didn’t do anything to
eradicate the cholera” and they
are using its resurgence as a “pretext” to return, Joseph said.
Haiti has suffered more than
6,800 suspected cases and more
than 100 deaths since officials reported on Oct. 2 that cholera had
resurfaced after three years without a new case. Diagnoses of the
disease, which is easily treatable
but can cause death within hours
if left untreated, have doubled in
the past week alone.
“Cholera is gaining ground,”
said Jeanty Fils Exalus, a spokesman for Haiti’s Health Ministry.
“We have to mobilize way more
resources.”
That’s easier said than done.
Gang violence, which has intensi-

ODELYN JOSEPH/ASSOCIATED PRESS

fied since the brazen assassination
last year of President Jovenel
Moïse at his home outside the
capital, has impeded access to
health care, fuel, clean drinking
water and other aid. There are
effective vaccines for cholera, but
the government hasn’t approved a
vaccination plan.
Tabuto listens for news about
cholera on the radio from his
home in Jérémie, a city in southern Haiti. Clean water is scarce.
Water purification tablets are in
short supply.
“If the cholera comes to
Jérémie,” he said, “it will be worse
than the outbreak of 2010.”
Cholera was nonexistent here
before it was introduced in 2010
by a contingent of U.N. peacekeepers from Nepal, where cholera is
endemic. They improperly disposed of latrine sewage in a tributary of the Artibonite River.
For years, the United Nations
refused to acknowledge its role in
the outbreak, even as scientific
evidence piled up, and it sought to
skirt legal responsibility by invoking diplomatic immunity. In 2013,
it rejected compensation claims.
In 2016, the U.N. special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights condemned the organization.
“The existing approach is mor-

ally unconscionable, legally indefensible and politically self-defeating,” Philip Alston wrote. “It is also
entirely unnecessary. … [It] upholds a double standard according to which the United Nations
insists that member states respect
human rights, while rejecting any
such responsibility for itself.”
Later that year, then-Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon apologized
for the organization’s role in the
outbreak, saying it blemished “the
reputation of U.N. peacekeeping
and the organization worldwide.”
He announced a “new approach,” promising $400 million
in funding for improved sanitation and water infrastructure and
for “material assistance and support” to severely affected victims.
Five years later, it has raised only
$21.8 million.
“The resurgence of cholera in
Haiti today is a direct result of the
U.N.’s failure to keep its promises,”
said Beatrice Lindstrom, a clinical
instructor at Harvard’s International Human Rights Clinic who
worked with Joseph to bring classaction lawsuits against the international body.
Victims and their advocates
have criticized the United Nations
for opting for community-based
projects instead of direct compensation to victims who lost wages,

saw family finances falter after
their breadwinners died, and still
struggle with illness.
“If this happened in the United
States or in Canada or in Australia
and the official response was,
‘We’re not giving any compensation to individuals even though
there was a direct link between the
death of your relative and the actions of the United Nations … but
we will build a new community
home, we might set up a new
health center,’ ” said Alston, now a
law professor at New York University, “that would be met with outrage.”
Stéphane Dujarric, a spokesman for Guterres, acknowledged
that the “new approach” is “underfunded,” in part because contributions are voluntary. He cited this
funding gap as one reason the
United Nations is moving ahead
with community-based projects
over direct compensation.
The lessons from 2010 are being
used in the current response,
which can interrupt cholera transmission if the effort is fully funded,
he said. The international community has spent $705 million
fighting cholera in Haiti since
2010, he added.
Dujarric said that some recent
donor contributions were allocated to a surveillance mechanism

that Haitian authorities used to
identify cholera’s resurgence last
month. “Ultimately, however, Haiti will continue to suffer from outbreaks of waterborne diseases until the country develops water,
sanitation and hygiene systems
that are robust, equitable and sustainable,” he said.
The U.N. Security Council voted
unanimously last month to impose sanctions on Haitian gang
leaders, and the United States and
Canada have levied sanctions on
the president of Haiti’s senate and
his predecessor for their alleged
roles in supporting the gangs.
But the panel hasn’t come to a
decision on a U.S. resolution that
would authorize a “non-U.N. international security assistance mission” to help Haitian police restore
order and to enable the movement
of humanitarian aid. The United
States does not want to lead the
force.
Though Haitian police recently
regained control of a key fuel terminal that had been blockaded
by a gang for nearly two months,
State Department spokesman
Ned Price told reporters last week
that this did not diminish the need
for a foreign force.
“There is still urgency,” Price
said. “The status quo remains untenable.”

U.S. officials have pressed Canada to lead the force. Canada dispatched a team to Haiti last month
to assess needs. Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau has said there
must be intervention “in one way
or another,” but he has not specified what it might entail.
When Wien-Weibert Arthus,
Haiti’s ambassador to Canada, appeared before a parliamentary
committee in Ottawa this month,
several lawmakers voiced unease
about deepening Canada’s involvement in a country where a
political consensus remains elusive and the interim prime minister lacks popular legitimacy.
The main difficulty a foreign
security force would face on the
ground, Arthus said, was “acceptance.”
Rony Delice, 32, contracted
cholera in 2011. He spent time in
the hospital, doubled over with
agonizing stomach pain and severe vomiting. He is still traumatized from the experience, he said,
and expected compensation that
never came.
“When I heard about the request for foreign intervention, I
said to myself, ‘They were here
before and look at the country
now,’ ” Delice said. “People were
dying when they were here — and
they continue to die today.”

casualties, they said. The
epicenter was in the village of
Patadewal, the National
Seismological Center reported.

Saturday morning in northern
French city of Lille, but no
deaths were reported thanks to a
resident’s warning, French
authorities said. Lille firefighters
said they rescued one person
from the rubble with only light
injuries. The search for any
others possibly trapped in the
rubble is ongoing, and an
investigation will begin into why
the building collapsed. The
building in the center of the city
was evacuated before dawn after
a man coming back home about
3 a.m. after a night out saw
cracks appearing in the structure
and reported the issue to
emergency services, the Lille

Gas available for first
time since September
Whoops of excitement echoed
through the streets of Port-auPrince early Saturday as gas
stations opened across Haiti for
the first time in two months
after a powerful gang lifted a
crippling fuel blockade.
Ever since a gang federation
known as G9 seized control of an
area surrounding a key fuel
terminal in mid-September, life
in Haiti has been paralyzed,
leaving millions of people
temporarily out of work.
The blockade — aimed at
trying to oust Prime Minister

Ariel Henry after he announced
a rise in gas prices — forced gas
stations to close, hospitals to cut
back on critical services and
businesses, including banks and
grocery stores, to limit their
hours. It also worsened a cholera
outbreak that has killed dozens
and sickened thousands, with
companies unable to distribute
potable water.
Earlier this week, nearly 400
trucks lined up at the newly
freed Varreux terminal in Portau-Prince, filling up their tanks
with fuel as a heavily armed
police convoy escorted them to
stations in the capital and
beyond. The truck drivers
arrived after the G9 gang, led by
former police officer Jimmy

Cherizier, announced a week ago
that it was lifting the blockade.

Report outlines UAE attempts to manipulate U.S. policy
REPORT FROM A1

mon for a U.S. intelligence product to closely examine interactions involving U.S. officials given
its mandate to focus on foreign
threats.
“The U.S. intelligence community generally stays clear of anything that could be interpreted as
studying American domestic politics,” said Bruce Riedel, a senior
fellow at the Brookings Institution who served on the National
Intelligence Council in the 1990s.
“Doing something like this on a
friendly power is also unique. It’s
a sign that the U.S. intelligence
community is willing to take on
new challenges,” he said.
Lauren Frost, a spokeswoman
at the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence, declined to
comment when asked about the
report.
The UAE’s ambassador to
Washington, Yousef Al Otaiba,
said he is “proud of the UAE’s
influence and good standing in
the U.S.”
“It has been hard earned and
well deserved. It is the product of
decades of close UAE-US cooperation and effective diplomacy. It
reflects common interests and
shared values,” he said in a statement.
The relationship is unique.
Over the years, the United States
has agreed to sell the UAE some of
its most sophisticated and lethal
military equipment, including
MQ-9 aerial drones and advanced
F-35 fighter jets, a privilege not
bestowed on any other Arab
country over concern about diminishing Israel’s qualitative military edge.
Some of the influence operations described in the report are
known to national security professionals, but such activities
have flourished because of Washington’s unwillingness to reform
foreign-influence laws or provide
additional resources to the Department of Justice. Other activities more closely resemble espionage, people familiar with the
report said.
The UAE has spent more than
$154 million on lobbyists since
2016, according to Justice Department records. It has spent hundreds of millions of dollars more
on donations to American universities and think tanks, many that
produce policy papers with findings favorable to UAE interests.
There is no prohibition in the
United States on lobbyists donating money to political campaigns.
One U.S. lawmaker who read the
intelligence report told The Post
that it illustrates how American
democracy is being distorted by
foreign money, saying it should
serve as a wake-up call.
“A very clear red line needs to
be established against the UAE
playing in American politics,”
said the lawmaker. “I’m not convinced we’ve ever raised this with
the Emiratis at a high level.”
Both the Office of the Director
of National Intelligence and the
State Department declined to
comment on whether they have
addressed the issue with senior
UAE counterparts.
The U.S. government’s muted
public response follows President
Biden’s impassioned pitch to midterm elections voters last week
that American democracy is under threat from powerful interests and needs concerted safeguarding. “With democracy on
the ballot, we have to remember
these first principles: Democracy
means the rule of the people —
not the rule of monarchs or the
moneyed, but the rule of the
people,” Biden said during a
speech in Washington.
The National Intelligence
Council, or NIC, is the intelligence community’s premier analytic hub. Its products draw on
information from the nation’s 18
intelligence agencies to speak
with one voice on pressing national security issues.
People who shared information about the report declined to
provide a copy of it. They said the
activities attributed to the UAE in
the report go well beyond mere
influence peddling.
One of the more brazen exploits involved the hiring of three
former U.S. intelligence and military officials to help the UAE
surveil dissidents, politicians,
journalists and U.S. companies.
In public legal filings, U.S. prosecutors said the men helped the
UAE break into computers in the
United States and other countries. Last year, all three admitted
in court to providing sophisticated hacking technology to the
UAE, agreeing to surrender their
security clearances and pay about
$1.7 million to resolve criminal
charges. The Justice Department
touted the settlement as a “firstof-its-kind resolution.”
It did not involve prison time,
however, and critics viewed the
financial penalty as paltry given
the substantial payments re-

ceived by the former U.S. officials
for their work, raising concerns it
did little to dissuade similar future behavior.
Those seeking reform also note
the federal trial of Thomas Barrack, a longtime adviser to former
president Donald Trump, who
was acquitted this month of
charges alleging he worked as an
agent of the UAE and lied to
federal investigators about it.
U.S. prosecutors accused Barrack of exploiting his access to
Trump to benefit the UAE and
working a secret back channel for
communications that involved
passing sensitive information to
Emirati officials. The evidence
introduced in court included
thousands of messages, social
media posts and flight records, as
well as communications showing
that Emirati officials provided
him with talking points for media
appearances in which he praised
the UAE. After one such interview, Barrack emailed a contact
saying, “I nailed it … for the home
team,” referring to the UAE.
Barrack, who never registered
with the U.S. government to lobby
for the gulf state, vehemently
denied the charges, and prosecutors failed to convince a jury that
his influence-peddling gave rise
to crimes. An assistant of his,
Matthew Grimes, was also acquitted. Barrack, though a spokesman, declined to comment.
The UAE is far from alone in
using aggressive tactics to try to
bend the U.S. political system to
its liking. Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
Israel, Taiwan and scores of other
governments run influence campaigns in the United States in an
effort to impact U.S. policy.

But the intelligence community’s scrutiny of the UAE indicates
a heightened level of concern and
a dramatic departure from the
laudatory way the country is discussed in public by U.S. secretaries of state and defense and presidents, who routinely emphasize
the “importance of further deepening the U.S.-UAE strategic relationship.”
The UAE is a federation of
sheikhdoms with more than
9 million people including the
city-states of Abu Dhabi and
Dubai.
Since 2012, it has been the
third-biggest purchaser of U.S.
weapons and built what many
consider the most powerful military in the Arab world by cultivating close ties to the U.S. political,
defense and military establishment.
The UAE’s armed forces have
fought alongside U.S. troops in
Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. The
country also hosts 5,000 U.S. military personnel at al-Dhafra Air
Base and U.S. warships at the
Jebel Ali deep-water port.
Boosters of the gulf state in U.S.
think tanks and military circles
often hail it as “Little Sparta” for
its military prowess while sidestepping its human rights record
and ironclad kinship with Saudi
Arabia.
There are no elections or political parties in the UAE, and no
independent judiciary. Criticism
of the government is banned, and
trade unions and homosexuality
are outlawed. Freedom House
ranks the gulf state among the
least free countries in the world.
The stifling political environment stands in stark contrast to

the country’s opulent cosmopolitan offerings, including the
world’s tallest building, ski slopes
inside a shopping mall and Ferrari World, a theme park inspired
by the Italian sports car manufacturer. Its largest city, Dubai, is a
tax-free business hub with glitzy
five-star hotels, nightclubs and
DJ concerts that feel incongruous
to the nearby religious zeal of
Saudi Arabia. In recent years, U.S.
officials and independent watchdogs have warned that smuggling
and money-laundering in the
UAE have allowed criminals and
militants to hide their wealth
there.
Focus on the UAE’s role in
Washington grew following the
murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey. The CIA concluded his killing
was done at the behest of Saudi
Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman, a revelation that caused
Washington lobbying firms and
think tanks to sever their financial ties to Riyadh. Though the
UAE had no involvement, the
crown prince’s status as a protege
of Mohamed bin Zayed alNahyan, the ruler of the United
Arab Emirates known as MBZ,
invited greater scrutiny.
“MBZ was a big part of the
crowd who said the Saudi crown
prince would be a reformer, make
Saudi Arabia a more normal
country, give women the right to
vote — all of which crashed when
Khashoggi was killed,” Riedel
said.
Concerns about the UAE
among human rights groups
grew with its military involvement in the brutal war in Yemen,
from which it has since with-

drawn. The gulf state also angered U.S. officials after the Defense Department’s watchdog
said the UAE may have been
financing the Wagner Group, a
Russian mercenary army close to
the Kremlin that has been accused of atrocities in Libya,
Ukraine and Africa. The UAE
denies the charge.
Though the UAE has maintained strong bipartisan support
in the United States, it cultivated
a particularly close connection to
the Trump administration, which
approved the $23 billion sale of
F-35s, MQ-9s and other munitions to the gulf state. The transfer, which has faced resistance by
congressional Democrats, has not
moved forward yet but is supported by the Biden administration.
Last month, The Post revealed
the UAE’s extensive courtship of
retired high-ranking U.S. military
personnel. The investigation
showed that over the past seven
years, 280 retired U.S. service
members have worked as military
contractors and consultants for
the UAE, more than for any other
country, and that the advisory
jobs pay handsomely.
Instrumental to the UAE’s success in Washington has been Otaiba, an ambassador who has
forged strong connections with
powerful politicians and business
leaders across the political spectrum.
The intelligence report is careful not to identify specific individuals, according to people who
have read it, but it mentions
several meetings and conversations involving U.S. and Emirati
officials. One passage refers to a
meeting of a senior U.S. and a
senior UAE official who commended each other for “singlehandedly” salvaging the U.S.-UAE
relationship. One person who
read the report said it was an
unmistakable reference to Otaiba.
Asked about the intelligence
community’s findings, Otaiba
said he has been “honored to be
among a group of serious people
with good intentions in both
countries that have built a full
and lasting partnership that has
made the UAE, the U.S. and the
region more secure, more prosperous, and more open-minded.”
Some U.S. lawmakers in both
parties have proposed legislation
to curb foreign influence in U.S.
politics. A bill introduced last
year by Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) would prohibit political campaign committees from accepting
money from lobbyists registered
with a foreign country. Other
reform proposals include increasing disclosure requirements, providing more resources to the Justice Department’s foreign influence unit and standardizing filing data, said Anna Massoglia, a
foreign-influence
expert
at
OpenSecrets, an organization
that tracks political spending,
“While the U.S. does have some
disclosure rules in place, there
are still a number of loopholes
that allow individuals to work on
behalf of foreign interests in this
country without disclosing their
work,” Massoglia said.

White House ‘doing everything we can’ to secure release of British-Egyptian
U.S. unable to verify
jailed activist’s condition;
family wants proof of life
AND

S IOBHÁN O ' G RADY

aboard air force one — Presi-

dent Biden’s brief stopover at the
U.N. climate conference known as
COP27 on Friday included “intensive consultations” on the case of
Alaa Abdel Fattah, the BritishEgyptian political prisoner on
hunger and water strike in an
Egyptian prison.
“We are doing everything we
can to secure his release as well as
the release of a number of other
political prisoners,” U.S. national
security adviser Jake Sullivan
told reporters aboard Air Force
One after the delegation departed
Egypt on Friday.
Abdel Fattah’s family staked
their hopes on Biden’s visit as a
possible step toward his release,
as fears mount he may die in
prison. An activist during the
country’s 2011 revolution who
comes from one of Egypt’s most
prominent intellectual families,
Abdel Fattah has spent much of
the last decade behind bars and
was most recently sentenced to
five years in prison after he was
found guilty last December of
“spreading false news.”
The United States is a close ally
of Egypt and provides more than
$1 billion in military aid to the
country each year. Biden has
pledged to make human rights a
focus of his presidency and, specifically, to hold President Abdel
Fatah El-Sisi accountable for human rights violations.
The family also asked that
Biden secure proof of life for
Abdel Fattah before departing
from Egypt. The last the family
heard from him, he said in a letter
he planned to stop drinking water
on Nov. 6. Several days later,
officials at the prison where he is
being held informed his mother,
Laila Soueif, a London-born math
professor at Cairo University, that
a “medical intervention” had
been conducted on her son “with
the knowledge of a judicial authority.”

The family fears authorities
could be force-feeding him or that
he may have already died. Egyptian officials have insisted he is in
good care.
Speaking to reporters on Air
Force One after departing from
Egypt, Sullivan said he did “not
have an update on [Abdel Fattah’s] condition.”
“The Egyptians have one story
on this; obviously his family has a
totally different story,” he said.
“And this is a circumstance where
it’s not trust but verify. It’s verify.
And we’ve not been able to do
that.”
For the past week, Soueif has
waited outside the prison where
Abdel Fattah is being held, asking
for a letter or other proof of life
from her son.
On Thursday, Egypt’s public
prosecution office released a
statement claiming Abdel Fattah
was in good health and had last
received a family visit on Nov. 7 —
a claim the family vehemently
denies. That same day, Abdel Fattah’s lawyer, Khaled Ali, announced he had received written
permission to visit Abdel Fattah
in prison. When he arrived at the
complex outside of Cairo, he was
denied entry, he said.
Abdel Fattah claimed British
citizenship through his mother
last year, but Egyptian authorities
have refused to allow British consular access to him in prison.
His case — and Egypt’s human
rights record more broadly —
garnered major attention at
COP27, which Egypt hoped would
raise the country’s profile on the
world stage. Several world leaders, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and German
Chancellor Olaf Scholz, have directly raised Abdel Fattah’s case
with Sisi.
Amr Adib, the most influential
TV presenter in Egypt, read from
a letter by Abdel Fattah’s sister,
Mona Seif, on his Friday night
show, in which she pleads for a
pardon for her brother — describing in detail how his absence has
distressed his son, Khaled, who is
10.
“If [one] believes he should
continue in prison, see where
your benefit is,” Adib said. “The
benefit of this country. If it benefits you to release him, release
him.”

AMR NABIL/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jailed pro-democracy activist Alaa Abdel Fattah’s mother, Laila Soueif, gives an interview to the
Associated Press on Thursday. Abdel Fattah has escalated a food and water strike for his release.

“If it were up to me and I could
decide, I will look for the benefit
of the country,” he said.
Families of political prisoners
often opt to stay quiet on their
relatives’ cases in hopes that behind-the-scenes diplomacy might
offer a better shot at securing
freedom. Abdel Fattah’s family is
long past that point. After his
being jailed repeatedly for a decade, his case is now among the
most prominent in Egypt. His
claim to British dual citizenship
added further international interest in his case.
Abdel Fattah’s family — and
some British lawmakers — have
criticized Sunak for not doing
more to secure his release or
receive an update on his health
while on the ground in Egypt.
“There is a question about the
extent to which trying to resolve
these cases diplomatically is best
done through public pressure or
private engagement,” Sullivan
said. “That’s a constant debate, a
constant calibration.”
Abdel Fattah’s younger sister,
Sanaa Seif, who herself has been
jailed three times in Egypt, is
attending the climate summit. At
a news conference last week, a

pro-government lawmaker confronted her over her activism and
was escorted out of the building
by U.N. security after he refused
to back down — drawing more
negative attention to Egypt.
By the time Biden arrived Friday, pressure was mounting for
the Egyptians to release Abdel
Fattah. But activists and observers also feared that the window

FALL

through which COP27 shone a
spotlight on Egypt’s human
rights violations was closing. The
summit continues for another
week, but most world leaders visit
only during the first half of the
conference.
On social media, Egyptians
shared memes joking about what
might await them after the conference closed, including one of

Sisi that said in Arabic, “Just wait
until the guests leave” — a reference to a common phrase Egyptian parents might use if their
children are misbehaving in front
of visitors.
After Biden left on Friday, Sullivan told reporters “the president
directed his team to work with
the Egyptians on a number of
specific cases, one of them being
[Abdel Fattah’s].”
“I can say emphatically that we
believe that Alaa Abdel Fattah
should be released,” he said. “But
in terms of talking through the
specifics of our discussions with
the Egyptians,” he added, “I’d like
to leave those behind closed
doors for the moment.”
Abdel Fattah’s case has been
taken up by the hundreds of
climate activists and civil society
organizers who flood COP each
year, who say they see freedom of
speech as intimately connected to
their fight for climate justice.
Typically, this point of a COP
conference would see tens of
thousands of marchers parading
through the streets of the host
city, waving flags, blocking traffic
and demanding greater action
from negotiators.
But Egypt’s tight restrictions
on protest meant that this year’s
demonstration was much smaller
and restricted to the official conference venue known as the blue
zone. Heavily monitored by both
U.N. and Egyptian security, a few
hundred people marched along
the central avenue that runs
through the conference venue.
One cluster of youths sang the
chorus to Shakira’s “Africa.” Another group chanted, “Keep it in
the ground.” Activists with the
Micronesia Climate Change Alliance walked behind a banner that
read, “We’re not drowning, we’re
fighting.”
At the Saturday demonstration
that usually marks the midpoint
of the conference, his sister Seif
was front and center, appearing
subdued compared with the raucous crowd. But when someone
called out, “The people we love
are under attack,” Seif lifted her
head to shout in response: “Stand
up, fight back.”

The street artist Banksy’s latest work: a female gymnast on the wall of a destroyed building in Irpin,
Ukraine. Similar works in the region sparked speculation over whether Banksy was in the nation.

Banksy strikes a balance between art
and protest in Ukraine gra∞ti work

V ICTORIA B ISSET

British street artist Banksy
unveiled his latest artwork, this
time in Ukraine, putting an end
to weeks of speculation about
whether he had traveled to the
country.
The anonymous graffiti artist
shared images of a mural depicting a female gymnast balancing
on the rubble of a destroyed
building on his Instagram page
late Friday.
However, he gave no information about the piece or his travels
— revealing only its location as
the town of Borodyanka, in the
Kyiv region.
The town, which lies about 30
miles to the northwest of the
Ukrainian capital, was besieged
by Russian forces in the early
weeks of the Feb. 24 invasion and
subjected to aerial bombardment. It was recaptured by

The secretive street artist
posted the image on his
Instagram page
Ukraine in early April.
Other murals, similar to
Banksy’s signature style, have
also appeared in the region,
although the artist has not confirmed whether they belonged to
him.
One, also in Borodyanka,
shows a child throwing a man
resembling Russian President
Vladimir Putin to the floor during a judo match. Putin holds a
black belt in the sport and has
even starred in an instructional
video titled “Let’s Learn Judo
with Vladimir Putin.”
Another image, this time in
the Kyiv suburb of Irpin, shows a

rhythmic gymnast wearing a
neck brace while performing
with a ribbon over a hole on the
side of a building.
There have been calls for investigations into alleged Russian
war crimes in Irpin and neighboring Bucha.
This is not the first time that
Banksy’s work has been associated with Ukraine following the
Russian invasion: In March, a
print of one of his most famous
antiwar pieces, “CND Soldiers,”
was sold, with the proceeds going to a children’s hospital in
Kyiv.
The artwork was painted near
the British parliament in 2003,
during protests against the war
in Iraq.
Despite being one of the
world’s best-known street artists,
Banksy has managed to maintain
his anonymity since he rose to
fame in the 1990s.

Ukrainians hunt for domestic ‘agents’ working for Russia
Intelligence officers comb
liberated towns seeking
clues on collaborators
BY I SABELLE K HURSHUDYAN
AND K AMILA H RABCHUK

kharkiv region, ukraine —

The hunt for Ukrainians helping
the Russians led the intelligence
investigators to an idyllic village
with a house on a hill, where the
father of an accused traitor lives.
The man knew they wanted to
talk about his son, Sergey, who
was in jail awaiting trial for allegedly passing information to Russian forces on where Ukrainian
soldiers and weapons were located in the city of Chuhuiv — a
hotbed of military activity in the
northeast
Kharkiv
region.
Ukraine’s main internal security
service, the SBU, considers Sergey
an agent for one Russia’s special
services, perhaps the FSB.
“I’ll be honest, boys,” the father
told the officers, “in the first days, I
was passing coordinates to my
guys.”
But in a country where loyalties
can be twisted, were his guys the
Russians or the Ukrainians?
Even amid a war in which Moscow has targeted Ukrainian civilians and caused countless deaths,
Russia has been able to recruit
Ukrainians to aid its invasion.
Sometimes it’s through blackmail.
Sometimes it’s through payoffs.
And sometimes Ukrainians are
simply sympathetic to their country’s enemy — be it because of
Soviet nostalgia or shared Russian
language and ethnic identity.
Weeding out those moles and
saboteurs is the SBU’s job. Officers
from the counterintelligence department of the highly secretive
agency recently allowed Washington Post journalists rare access to
their daily work, which includes
going into recently liberated villages and conducting what’s
called “filtration” — interviewing
locals about what happened under occupation and who might
have collaborated with the Russians. At times, they are so close to
the front line they end up fighting
alongside Ukrainian soldiers.
While the Ukrainian military
fights the foreign foe in front of
them, the SBU counterintelligence department’s main task remains looking inward for enemies
— sometimes even within its own
ranks.
In July, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky replaced the
agency’s director after several senior officers were arrested and
branded traitors. One such mole
was recently uncovered in the
Kharkiv office after he allegedly
informed Russian security services about the time and place of a
planned meeting between the
Kharkiv mayor, the local SBU
chief and the commander of
Ukraine’s 92nd Mechanized Brigade — a high-value target for an
airstrike.
“It’s hard to get used to it, even
though it’s what we do every day,”
said an SBU officer who asked to
be identified by his call sign, Advokat, which means “lawyer.”
“You think how much damage
this activity has caused — how
many children, civilians, soldiers,
brothers and sisters died and were
injured because of it,” Advokat
said. “How many were left without
families and homes and forced to
leave? When you remember that,
it motivates you to expose the
traitors as much as possible and
bring them to justice.”
In a room at a downtown
Kharkiv detention center, Sergey,
the man facing treason charges
for revealing the location of Ukrainian military bases, sat on a small
stool and fiddled with his hands.
Sergey agreed to an interview
with The Post on the condition
that his surname not be used, but
Advokat and prison guards remained in the room. Sergey admitted to sending screenshots of
Google maps, with some spots circled, to a Russian cellphone number.
Sergey’s family lives in small
villages near the town of Balakliya, a part of Kharkiv region that
Russian forces occupied in the
first days of the war. After his
sister told him that Russian soldiers had stolen money from their
father, Sergey said, he complained
to a neighbor about being worried
for his family’s safety. The neighbor gave him a Russian number to
call and explain the situation,
Sergey said. So, he did.
His father’s money was returned a month later, Sergey said.
Then Sergey received a message
from the Russian number offering
to “work together.” Sergey said he
refused.
“The next day, they wrote that
they know where my parents are,”
he said. “They said that this is a

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP:
Members of Ukraine’s main
internal security service, the

Kharkiv on Nov. 1. SBU officers
interview residents in a
recently liberated town. Sergey,
who is facing treason charges
for revealing the location of
Ukrainian military bases, is
interviewed in a detention
center on Nov. 2.

“You think how much
damage this activity has
caused — how many
children, civilians,
soldiers, brothers and
sisters died and were
injured because of it.
How many were left
without families and
homes and forced to
leave? When you

security service

war and anything can happen.
And like this, they blackmailed
me.”
The SBU counterintelligence
department divides Ukrainians
who work with the Russians into
different categories. Those like
Sergey, recruited while living in
territory controlled by Ukraine,
are considered agents. The most
valuable agents are those with access to information, such as moles
within the SBU or other government agencies. They are the hardest to expose, Advokat said, because they understand how the
SBU operates and can better cover
their tracks.
Then there are collaborators:
Ukrainians who cooperate with or
help the Russians in occupied areas. But even those people are split
into their own ranks. Some have
pro-Russian views and eagerly aid
the occupiers, for example, by revealing who in town served in the
Ukrainian military. But there are
others Advokat referred to as “invertebrates” — people bending to
survive under difficult conditions.
When the Ukrainian military
recaptures a city or town, SBU
officers are the first ones in after
them to begin the filtration process — weeding out the collaborators through interviews with locals, checking people’s phones
and other means.
In early September, after Ukrainian forces expelled Russian
troops from most of the Kharkiv
region, Advokat and his colleagues entered the city of Kupiansk on the same day as the advancing soldiers.
The Russians had used the city
as the seat of their regional occupation government, so the SBU
officers went first to the abandoned local administration building. Inside, they found a list of
people who had worked with the
Russian-controlled authorities.
The Russians retreated so fast,
they had left it behind.
“There was so much work that
we spent several nights there,”
Advokat said.
In the Kharkiv region, which
borders Russia and is predominantly Russian-speaking, both
agents and collaborators are
widespread. Many residents traveled to Russia frequently for work
or still have relatives living there.
“You cannot suspect everyone,”
Advokat said. “But over time, a
certain professional deformation
occurs when you start to suspect
everyone.”

Sergey’s father was also a suspect. If the son had passed information to the Russians, maybe the
father also helped the soldiers occupying his village. Speaking to
the man outside his home, Advokat began a preliminary interview. The goal was to persuade
him to come with them for a more
formal interrogation back at their
office. The father is not being identified because of risks to his safety
and because he has not been
charged.
Sergey’s father then told Advokat that he had been passing
coordinates of Russian troops to
someone in the SBU, even giving
Advokat his contact’s first and last
name.
“How did the Russian forces
behave themselves?” Advokat
asked him.
“You could say they were even
respectable,” the father answered,
speaking in Ukrainian.
“Did they steal from you?”
“Yes.”
“But you just said they behaved
respectably,” Advokat responded,

raising his voice.
The father then said Russian
soldiers made some attempts to
rape his wife, which earned another sarcastic response from Advokat about the man’s initial appraisal of the occupiers. He told
Advokat that another soldier later
came and gave him 50,000 rubles,
about $820, and apologized for his
colleagues who stole from him.
For Advokat, that confirmed an
exchange of money took place for
Sergey’s services.
“How could I have not taken the
money?” the man said. “Then they
would’ve said that I was against
them and would’ve done something else to me.”
After his village was liberated
by Ukrainian troops in September, Ukrainian forces posted an
air-defense system and an M142
High Mobility Artillery Rocket
System, known as HIMARS, near
his home. The father even kept the
shrapnel pieces from an airstrike
the Russians delivered then.
Coincidentally, it was information on that very type of equip-

ment’s whereabouts in Chuhuiv
that his son had allegedly passed
to the Russians.
The father told Advokat that he
was a patriot who hated what his
son had done and he agreed to
come in and give the SBU his
statement later in the week. Outside his home, he and his wife
allowed the SBU officers to inspect their phones, and Advokat
said there didn’t appear to be anything suspicious. But Advokat refrained from making a judgment.
There was still more to investigate
— with this case and countless
others.
“I will tell you honestly, he is my
son, but he took five years off my
life,” the man told Advokat.
“Why five years?” Advokat
asked.
“Well, it’s this war, you know,”
he answered. “I can’t stand to go
through this again. I don’t want to
see this filth. I can breathe freely
now — and then I couldn’t
breathe, believe me.
“I’m sorry,” the father added
finally. “May God help you.”

In Kherson, residents recall trauma of Russian occupation
UKRAINE FROM A1

towns and cities before this one
— Bucha, Izyum, Lyman — the
early signs were ominous.
Many people spoke of arbitrary searches, arrests, torture
and disappearances.
As a few dozen people danced
in a circle, Proskoviya Stepanova,
55, stood anxiously to the side.
Her son-in-law, a police officer
named Vadim Valereyovich Barinov, 31, has been missing since
March 28.
Stepanova had gone to the
Russian-installed military administration, where they had
said not to worry, he would be
questioned and let go. She had
gone to the detention center, but
they said they had no one by that
name.
Finally, she had gone to the
cemetery, where she could smell
what she believed were bodies
being burned. “I really hope he is
alive,” she said.
Others described occupation
as a nightmare that lasted for
months.
“Life under occupation was
horrible,” said Tetiana Fomina,
58. “It was like living in a concentration camp. We were never
free. The Russians had guns on
them, and you never knew when
they would come to get you.”
Fomina said she had cancer
and needed chemotherapy but
had been unable to get treatment
for more than eight months. “At
our hospital, in order to get any
sort of treatment you’d need to
show a Russian passport,” she
said. “Otherwise you didn’t have
any rights.”
Volodymyr Tymar, 18, said
Russian soldiers had stripped
him down to his underwear on
the side of the road to look for
pro-Ukrainian tattoos — describing what he said was a common
tactic. Two of his friends had
been detained, one for a week
and the other for a month. They
had hardly been fed and were
released with shaved heads.
“It was like a gulag,” he said.
Others described even worse
treatment.
Valeriy, a 20-year-old military
cadet, said Russian military police had searched his house in
the spring while he was at work
and found his military ID. They
then came to his work and
arrested him.
He was taken to a base run by
the FSB, the Russian federal
security service, where he was
blindfolded, beaten and shocked
with electricity for a week as the
Russians tried to pry information out of him.
“When they took me home, I
couldn’t speak for two weeks,”
said Valeriy, who did not give his
last name. “I thought I was gong
to die in there.”
While many of those who had
suffered remained silent, or told
their stories quietly, scores more
took to the central square, dancing and laughing.
When explosions sounded in
the distance — likely outgoing
rounds fired toward Russian po-

People gathered in the main square of Kherson city to celebrate their freedom from Russian occupation on Saturday. “We are so happy, despite all our struggles,” said Olga
Malakh, 56, who was near tears as she stood in the central square. “We have lived through so much, but we will rebuild.”

sitions on the other side of the
Dnieper River — few in the
crowd seemed to notice.
Yet the rumble of munitions
was a reminders that the Russians “are not far away from us,”
as Nataliya Chornenka said.
Chornenka, head of the Korabelny section of Kherson, was
among those who managed to
flee the Russian occupation and
had been asked to delay returning over concerns for their safety.
“People are calling all the time,
asking, ‘When can we go back?’ ”
she said by phone from the
central Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia. But “it’s possible there will be
shelling and artillery fire,” she
said. And “there is no electricity
or water, and no communications connections.”
Reporters for The Washington
Post were among the first wave of
journalists to reach Kherson city
on Saturday, and everywhere
there was evidence of the intense
fighting that preceded the Russian surrender.
The highway from the nearby
city of Mykolaiv was littered with
massive craters and burned-out
vehicles. Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky said in his
evening address that bomb disposal teams had removed some
2,000 explosive devices in the
Kherson region — “mines, trip
wires and unexploded ammunition.”

In villages on the way to
Kherson city, people old and
young stood by the roadside to
wave and shout greetings at
soldiers entering the city.
In Kyselivka, itself liberated
only on Thursday, two young
men stood next to a hand-painted sign pointing the way to the
regional capital, smiling and giving thumbs-up.
“Glory to our heroes,” another
man shouted.
A few miles closer to Kherson
city, a bridge had been blown up
in what appeared to be a failed
attempt to stop the Ukrainian
advance.
At the edge of the city they had
been trying to reach for months,
young soldiers stopped in front
of a “Kherson” sign and took
selfies.
A few blocks farther into town,
billboards showing a smiling
blond girl promised that “Russia
is here forever.”
A group of young men were
painting over one of the billboards, rendering the promise —
or threat — a laughingstock.
Kherson city had been without
running water for four days, and
without electricity for a week,
residents said. Cellphones were
useless. So, people at the central
square resorted to shouting over
the noise of raucous celebrations.
“We’ve waited for so long for

this to happen,” Andriy Fyedorov,
23, said as he stood on top of a
black SUV, waving a Ukrainian
flag. “I always believed this
would happen,” he said of liberation, “up until the very end.”
The mood was mostly festive.
Techno music thumped as people
danced and sang. Someone
handed out candy and ice cream
bars. Inside one restaurant, people cooked meat in the dark: a
celebratory feast.
There was no sign of the
occupiers who had terrified
many here for the better part of a
year. Most people in the square
said it had been four or five days
since they last saw Russian soldiers, though a few said they had
seen Russians as recently as
Friday.
Whenever it was, the occupiers left quickly.
Alina Kanivchenko, 19, said
she had heard rumors earlier in
the week that the Russians who
had been living in a bunker down
the street had fled. A friend went
to check and found the Russians
had left behind bulletproof vests,
food and other belongings.
As dusk began to fall on the
central square, more military
vehicles arrived, each one welcomed with cheers, honks and
chants of “Z.S.U.,” an acronym for
the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
As the party continued, some
people pulled away and headed

home, along pitch-black streets,
to dwellings without power or
water. Among them were three
children who were friends from
the same neighborhood. They
had walked 30 minutes to get to
the square.
“We wanted to see the military,” said Iryna, 9, a soft-spoken
girl in a hat and scarf. Now that it
was dark, they were afraid of
walking home alone.
Yehor, a 12-year-old with a
Ukrainian flag around his shoulders, said some people in their
neighborhood had generators
but his home didn’t.
Iryna held a cardboard box full
of canned meat, ice cream and
chocolate bars that someone had
given the children. “The last time
we had this,” she said, “was when
there was no war.”
For some, their joy was all the
more intense because of what
they had gone through.
Iryna Yefimova, 49, said Russian security agents had beaten
down her door, hit her husband
and 15-year-old son, and taken
her prisoner. The Russians detained her for two months, she
said, accusing her and a sister in
Ukrainian-held territory of assisting the Ukrainian armed
forces. When she was finally
released, she received no explanation for her ordeal. But that
encounter made Saturday all the
sweeter.

“It’s freedom here,” she said.
“I’m happy in my soul,” added
her son, Timofey.
Yet for others, there would be
no happiness until their loved
ones came home.
When Obozna’s son was detained on Aug. 3, his children
saw him led away. “Are you going
to give him back?” Dmytro’s
6-year-old son had asked the
Russian security agents.
Obozna went to the police to
report that her son was kidnapped. The police said they
would investigate, but instead it
was the family that tracked
Dmytro down to a detention
center. Obozna wasn’t able to call
or visit him, but she received
word from released prisoners
that her son was alive and okay.
But on Oct. 20, she heard the
prisoners were being taken away.
Obozna thought her son — who
she said had fought in the Azov
Regiment in 2015, perhaps putting him on the radar of the
Russians — was now being held
in a town across the Dnieper
River. But as she spoke, another
bystander interjected, saying he
believed the prisoners had been
taken to Crimea.
“We don’t know,” she said,
shaking her head.

Show blurs truth
about the queen’s
beloved Britannia
Season 5 of ‘The Crown’ has ignited a debate over
whether late monarch lobbied for yacht repairs
london — The much-hyped
fifth season of “The Crown”
opens with a heavy-handed metaphor weighing approximately
4,000 tons.
It’s 1953, and a young Queen
Elizabeth II, a month before her
coronation, is in Scotland to
launch the new royal yacht, Britannia. “I hope this brand-new
vessel, like your brand-new
queen, will prove to be dependable and constant, capable of
weathering any storm,” she declares to great applause.
And so the queen and her ship
are inextricably linked as the
Netflix TV show fast-forwards to
1991, when questions about costly repairs for Britannia are presented in parallel to questions
about whether the 65-year-old
queen is too old for her role.
There is no missing that this is
a narrative device in a series now
labeled a “fictional dramatization.” But the episode’s release
this week has renewed interest in
the history of the royal yacht and
ignited a debate about how the
British monarch interacted with
her government. It also happened to coincide with a modernday echo of 1991, as new Prime
Minister Rishi Sunak, facing a
recession, sank plans for a replacement royal yacht.

Earth — calling at more than 600
ports in 135 countries and projecting British influence around
the world.
Britannia was used for state
visits and receptions, royal family
holidays and honeymoons. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and
Bill Clinton all spent time on
board, as did Boris Yeltsin and
Nelson Mandela. When civil war
broke out in South Yemen in
1986, Britannia was rerouted to
help evacuate civilians.
“The Crown” suggests the
yacht was the queen’s favorite
“home,” cherished even more
than Balmoral in the Scottish
highlands. Biographers don’t dispute that this could have been
true. In his book “Queen of Our
Times,” Robert Hardman writes,
“There were few places where the
Queen would be happier.”
Although served by a crew of
220, the ship was a place where
the royal family could relax and
escape the watchful eye of the
public. Hugh Casson, who designed the interior, once recounted, “the overall idea was to give
the impression of a country
house at sea.” Prince Philip, the
queen’s husband, was fascinated
with the birds he saw during
voyages in the 1950s and even
published a book titled “Birds
From Britannia.”

Britannia, a ‘floating palace’
There is a real Royal Yacht
Britannia, and, as in the show, the
young queen really did announce
its name and christen it with a
bottle of Empire wine. (Though
not with a self-referential
speech.)
Britannia was the latest in a
series of royal yachts dating back
to 1660 and King Charles II. In 44
years of service, the ship sailed
more than 1 million nautical
miles — equivalent to more than
40 circumnavigations of the

A royal lobby for repairs?
The controversial part of “The
Crown” portrayal centers on
whether the queen actively lobbied Prime Minister John Major
for the government to pay for
extensive repairs — which could
have amounted to inappropriate
interference in politics by a constitutional monarch.
She says in the show: “Here I
am, coming to you, prime minister, on bended knee, for the
sign-off, but I’m hoping that will
be a formality.”

The new Royal Yacht Britannia sets sail after being launched by Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. New scenes in Netflix’s “The Crown” depict
the queen as actively lobbying Prime Minister John Major to fund extensive repairs, which Major himself and royal biographers deny.

The character of Major, who
was prime minister during a
tough recession, responds by suggesting the royal yacht is “something of a luxury” and that spending public money on it while the
economy is in the tank would not
be good for the government or
the royal family.
The queen persists, arguing
that the yacht is “a central and
indispensable part of the way the
crown serves the nation” and “a
floating, seagoing expression of
me.”
The queen-ship metaphor is
dragged out in a later conversation, when the character of
Prince Charles — impatient to be
king — tells Major about Britannia: “Sometimes these old things
are too costly to keep repairing.”
So did any of that actually take
place?
The real-life Major has called
the show’s imagined conversations “a barrel-load of nonsense.”
Robert Lacey, a historical consultant on “The Crown,” defended the depiction. He told The
Washington Post that the subject
of the yacht would have inevitably come up between the queen
and the prime minister, who met
once a week to discuss matters of
state.
“She certainly spoke about it to
the prime minister,” Lacey said.
“Obviously, the royal family
would have lobbied for it. The
queen did want another royal
yacht.”
Hardman, the royal biographer, insisted that while the
queen no doubt would have been
interested in repairs or a replacement, she would not have “leaned
on her prime ministers for

money.”
In a letter written in 1994, later
stored in the National Archives,
the queen’s deputy private secretary Kenneth Scott wrote to the
cabinet office that “the Queen
would naturally very much welcome it if a way could be found of
making available for the nation
in the 21st century the kind of
service which Britannia has provided for the last 43 years.”
Scott noted, however, that “the
question of whether there should
be a replacement yacht is very

much one for the government”
and “the last thing I should like to
see is a newspaper headline
saying ‘Queen Demands New
Yacht.’ ”
The Times of London headline
when the letter was uncovered in
2018: “I want a new yacht, Queen

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

As Biden and Xi prepare to meet, diplomats hope old ties help avert a clash
Presidential meeting
comes with superpowers
increasingly at odds
M ATT V ISER

Then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, right, and Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, accompanied by their interpreters, walk across the
Dujiangyan Irrigation system in Sichuan province in 2011. The two will have their first face-to-face meeting as presidents on Monday.

war — the pressure on Biden
could hardly be greater.
The question, diplomats say, is
whether their old connection can
be enough to mitigate the bitterness of the rivalry between the
superpowers.
“We’re in an awful dynamic,
and what is being put to the test
is whether there is enough of a
relationship, enough respect and
ability to listen,” said Daniel
Russel, a U.S. diplomat who
helped plan Biden’s trip to meet
with Xi in 2011. “There’s something there. These guys really do
know each other. And they have a
legacy, a relationship.”
He added, “It’s the one thing
we have to work with — that is
kind of the only thing we’ve got
going for us in slowing the death
spiral of the U.S.-China relationship.”
While Biden arrives at the
Group of 20 summit in Bali with

new political challenges after
democratic elections put Republicans on the verge of a House
majority, Xi comes strengthened,
just weeks after steamrolling any
opposition to extend his autocratic reign by another five years.
“Xi Jinping is feeling all-powerful in his internal politics,” said
John Delury, a professor of Chinese studies at Seoul’s Yonsei
University. “China is rising and
feeling stronger and stronger in
the relationship, and Xi is going
to bring that into his meeting
with Biden.”
The tension between the two
leaders’ identities lent drama to
their 2011 encounter and may do
so again this week. One is a
Catholic Irish American who
prides himself on a middle-class
upbringing and a jovial persona.
The other is a faithful Communist Party member who has cultivated an image as a pragmatic

man of the people.
Both are institutionalists who
have come up in diametrically
opposed political systems and
are now locked in a battle that
Biden has cast as an existential
test of democracy versus autocracy.
At one time, they referred to
each other in glowing terms, but
no more. Biden has called his
onetime friend “a thug.” Xi recently called Biden “my old
friend,” but his government’s
statements of hostility toward
the United States are unmistakable.
Planting the seeds of a
relationship
The hope of a detente, however frail, comes from a moment
shortly after Barack Obama took
office, when the White House
was eager to get a sense of Xi,
who was a rising figure and
presumptive leader of China but
also an enigma.
“Xi was a bit of an unknown
commodity — he had not served
in the type of post that led to a lot
of interaction with Americans,”
said Ben Rhodes, who was
Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “There was a real
benefit in having somebody
spend a lot of time with the guy
to take his measure, get to know
him and set up Obama’s capacity
to hit the ground running with
Xi when he became president.”
Biden had traveled to China
only twice before, but he plunged
into the task. He and Xi sat for
tea and held several dinners,
formal and informal. They held
lengthy meetings in Beijing and
traveled to Sichuan province to
tour a centuries-old irrigation
project. They visited a school,
where Xi signed basketballs and
Biden shot hoops (successfully
scoring after a half-dozen tries).
Biden made news in Beijing
when he slipped away for a lunch
of pork buns, noodles and cucumbers at a small, family-run
restaurant (it was known for its
pig intestines, which Biden apparently skipped), joined by his
granddaughter Naomi, who had
studied Mandarin.
While Chinese leaders were
criticized for being wealthy and
distant, Biden dug into a meal
that cost the equivalent of $12.
The action won popular coverage
on Chinese social media, though
it may have discomfited his
hosts, with their more aloof style
of leadership.
But Xi himself quickly showed
signs of being a new, less formal
kind of Chinese leader, if not
quite an American-style politician.
“It was clear to me that Xi
Jinping was trying to learn more
from Biden as a peer, about how
you do it, what is it like,” Russel
said. “He was about to embark on
this incredible project leading
China. We had no idea at the
time all of the plots and ambitions he had in the back of his
mind, but he wanted to know
more. This is not a person who
had much experience dealing
with the world.”
When Xi made a reciprocal
visit to the United States six
months later, Biden toasted him
at a State Department luncheon
and hosted him for dinner at the
Naval Observatory, the vice president’s official residence. Later in

the trip, Biden met Xi in Los
Angeles, where they toured a
school.
“What Biden’s trip helped reaffirm for us was that [Xi] is
ambitious, he’s a larger personality, and we’re going to have to
deal with a different type of
Chinese leader,” Rhodes said.
“The way Xi behaved on those
trips, you could tell he was more
of a politician than an apparatchik.”
Once Xi became president,
Biden’s interactions were more
limited as Obama took the primary role. He did travel to China
in 2013 — accompanied by his
son Hunter, who met with a
Chinese business partner during
the trip — and spent more than
five hours with Xi.
Xi continued to confirm early
impressions of his bolder, more
personal style: Meeting with
Obama in 2013 in Rancho Mirage, Calif., he broke out a bottle
of hard liquor during a working
dinner to toast his fellow president.
Exaggerated interactions
Like any number of stories
Biden tells, those involving him
and Xi have grown more elaborate over time. While they unquestionably
spent
large
amounts of time together, Biden
has dramatically overstated their
engagements.
He has repeatedly claimed, for
example, that they traveled
17,000 miles together in China
and the United States. A White
House official said Biden was
referring to the total distance he
traveled to attend the meetings
— not necessarily their actual
time together — but even that
does not fully add up, according
to The Washington Post’s Fact
Checker.
Biden has also pegged the time
they spent together when he was
vice president at 24 or 25 hours,
and as president, Biden has
spent perhaps 10 more hours on
the phone with Xi. Yet his estimates of their interactions have
ranged far beyond that.
In March, he said the two had
had “over 36 hours of private
meetings.” A month later, he
referred to it as “90-some hours
of talking or meeting.” About
four hours later, he remarked, “I
think it’s now up to 70-some
hours with Xi Jinping.”
Since then, he has cited their
meetings on 12 occasions, often
alternating between “76 hours”
and “78 hours,” although he recently shaved off 10 hours and
said they’d spent 68 hours together.
Biden also often says he has
spent more time with Xi than
any other leader has, something
that is also probably a stretch.
Obama spent significant time
with Xi after Biden’s initial visits,
and foreign policy analysts say
that Russian President Vladimir
Putin almost certainly has been
with Xi more than any American
president.
Xi is a primary character in
one of the most frequent stories
Biden tells. He has recounted it
at a General Motors plant in
Detroit; an infrastructure event
in Rosemount, Minn.; a White
House Hanukkah menorahlighting ceremony; an Equal Pay
Day event; a gathering of U.S.
troops in Poland; and a Hispanic

‘We’re not old friends’
But any bond has frayed over
the years as China has taken on a
new ambition and aggressiveness under Xi. Biden during his
presidential campaign called
him a “thug,” albeit “a smart guy.”
He has said his counterpart does
not have a democratic “bone in
his body.”
And perhaps mindful of previous presidents who believed they
had a rapport with Putin, Biden
has dismissed the idea that he
and Xi are buddies. “Let’s get
something straight — we know
each other well, we’re not old
friends,” he said in June 2021.
“It’s just pure business.”
But he has also referred, almost wistfully, to a time when
the two engaged in a seemingly
genuine effort to understand
each other.
“We’ve spent an awful lot of
time talking to one another, and I
hope we can have a candid
conversation tonight as well,”
Biden said before a virtual meeting in 2021. “Maybe I should start
more formally, although you and
I have never been that formal
with one another.”
“I’m very happy to see my old
friend,” Xi responded.
The politics in both countries
have changed radically since
2011, and the two superpowers
are far more openly antagonistic.
“I think Xi Jinping believes his
advantage on any American
president is they’ll be gone before he is. He sits atop a system
he has total control over,” Rhodes
said. “He looks at a Joe Biden and
knows, ‘I will be president of
China after you are president of
the United States.’ ”
Xi himself has changed,
Rhodes added, which will force a
recalibration from Biden.
“The Xi Jinping of 2022 is not
the Xi Jinping of 2011,” Rhodes
said. “That was a guy who was
probably trying to ingratiate
himself because he was a newcomer. Now he is a guy who
thinks he’s the most powerful
man in the world, even more
powerful than the president of
the United States. It’s the difference between the new kid on the
block and the bully on the block.”
A senior administration official said White House aides expect the meeting to be a “substantive and in-depth conversation” between the two leaders
but did not anticipate substantive progress on major issues.
Instead, the official said,
White House officials view the
meeting as an effort for Biden
and Xi to understand each other’s priorities and establish a
“floor” for the relationship to
ensure lines of communication
remain open at times of tension.
“I’m not willing to make any
fundamental concessions,” Biden
said during a news conference on
Wednesday. “I’ve told him: I’m
looking for competition — not
conflict,” he added.
Leon Panetta, the former defense secretary who knows both
men, compared their current
interaction to “two boxers circling, really trying to weigh just
exactly what the strengths and
weaknesses are of the other side.”
He added, “I think deep down,
both understand that in many
ways, there has to be a better way
for both countries to deal with
one another rather than constantly threatening to destroy
one another.
In the personality for both of
these leaders, there is a greater
strain of wanting to see if there’s
a way to accommodate the other.
But who the hell knows — sometimes events can destroy the best
of intentions.”

Joe Biden shook hands with Xi
Jinping that day in 2011 and the
two vice presidents walked up a
red carpet to the strains of their
countries’ national anthems, until Biden paused unexpectedly
before a Chinese official with a
full head of hair. “If I had hair
like yours, I’d be president,” he
cracked, breaking the atmosphere of stately diplomacy.
Later in the whirlwind trip,
Biden made a more serious
point: “President Obama and I
want to see a rising China. We
don’t fear a rising China.”
More than a decade later, the
two men are slated to meet again
after Biden arrives Sunday night
in Bali, their first face-to-face
meeting since Biden became
president and Xi consolidated
his position as the strongest
Chinese leader in recent memory.
Biden certainly has not acquired the thick mane of the
Chinese diplomat. His administration now very much does fear
a rising China. And U.S. officials
are hoping that — somehow —
the personal connection the two
men forged more than a decade
ago can soften the often hostile,
sometimes volatile and potentially dangerous standoff between two global behemoths.
The Biden-Xi meeting is perhaps the most consequential encounter of Biden’s six-day foreign
trip that will circumnavigate the
globe, and it comes at the fulcrum of Biden’s presidency. He
departed just after voters delivered a verdict on the first two
years of his tenure, giving him
better-than-expected results but
possibly costing Democrats control of at least one chamber of
Congress.
It also comes as the Pentagon
issues fresh warnings that China
poses the “most comprehensive
and serious challenge to U.S.
national security.” With colliding
positions on trade, Ukraine and
especially Taiwan — and even
fears of a global U.S.-China cold

Heritage Month reception.
In the anecdote, Biden recalls
being with Xi on the Tibetan
Plateau when Xi asked him, “Can
you define America for me?”
Biden says he responded, “I can,
in one word: possibilities.” Telling the story in July 2021, Biden
elaborated, “Possibilities — it’s
what America is built on. It’s one
of the reasons why we’re viewed
sometimes as being somewhat
egotistical. We believe anything
is possible in America.”
Aides who were with Biden say
that they do not recall that
precise exchange but that it
would have been in keeping with
the leaders’ open-ended conversations meant to probe each
other’s world views. “They were
unburdening themselves and
trying to explain and convey
what kind of a country are we,
what do we believe?” Russel said.
Biden worked to draw out Xi,
quoting William Butler Yeats or
offering an aphorism he said
came from his father: “The only
thing worse than war is unintended war.”

Biden works to assuage allies about U.S. leadership as Asia tour begins
President visits Egypt
and Cambodia to kick off
week-long overseas trip
AND

BY M ATT V ISER
Y ASMEEN A BUTALEB

phnom penh, cambodia —

President Biden arrived here Saturday, the second stop of a
week-long foreign trip seeking to
reassure the world community
that, no matter the political disruptions back home, the United
States can still be a reliable
global leader.
On the heels of a midterm
election that gave him betterthan-expected results — yet still
could cost his party full control
of Congress when final results
are in, complicating his goals —
he has used both appearances so
far to press that theme and rally
other nations.
During a speech in Egypt at
the COP27 climate conference,
Biden touted the United States as
the global pacesetter in fighting
climate change. And in Phnom
Penh for a summit of Southeast
Asian nations, he immediately
began trying to unite other nations to provide a counterweight
to the rising economic and military threat that China poses.
One of the president’s enduring challenges, however, has
been to persuade his fellow leaders that former president Donald
Trump’s disruption of American
foreign policy was an aberration,
not a long-lasting shift. Hours
into his presidency, Biden moved
to rejoin the Paris climate accords that Trump had left, and
after voters last week rendered a
verdict on his first two years in

Saturday. Biden called the summit “the heart of my administration’s Indo-Pacific strategy.”

Ukraine’s cause isn’t in jeopardy
despite possible Republican control of Congress.
As he began meetings with the
Association of Southeast Asian
Nations, he said he would address “the biggest issues of our
time,” including energy, climate,
health and national security, as
well as the impacts that nations
here are feeling from Russia’s
war in Ukraine. He called ASEAN
“the heart of my administration’s

The president also said he
hoped to “defend against the
significant threats against rulebased order and threats to the
rule of law,” a seeming reference
to China.

Biden thanked Sen for his “clear

sion screens were tuned into
CNN’s blanket coverage of election results.
One of the big tests will come
during the president’s third and
final stop Monday in Bali, when
he meets with Chinese President
Xi Jinping at the Group of 20

summit. White House officials
said they do not expect significant progress on major issues
and characterized the meeting as
an effort to keep an open line of
communication between the two
countries. It will be the two
leaders’ first face-to-face meet-

ing since Biden took office.
While some Democrats feared
a midterm wipeout would weaken him on the world stage, top
White House aides say the relatively successful outcome should
be a boost. “The results from
Tuesday show that the American
people are sending him out to
the world stage in a very strong
position,” Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, told reporters ahead of the trip.
Biden has often noted that he
has faced skepticism abroad after Trump’s stormy tenure, citing
a meeting of the leaders from the
world’s top seven economies early in his presidency. “I said,
‘America is back,’ ” Biden recounted. “And one of the leaders
looked at me and said, ‘For how
long?’ ”
“He wants to reassure people,
but those reassurances are very
hard based on the political situation we’re in. And I think the
Europeans are right to question
how long we’re back,” said Samantha Gross, a fellow at the
Brookings Institution who specializes in climate and energy.
Rosa Balfour, director of the
think tank Carnegie Europe in
Brussels, said Wednesday that
while the topic of American reliability among European partners “remains a pertinent question,” concerns were soothed a
bit following the midterm election results.
“Everybody was very, very,
very worried in European capitals,” Balfour said. “The fact that
it looks like there hasn’t been a
[Republican] wave … actually is
very promising.”
Yet some anxiety remains. And
while the temperature has been
lowered, she said, it’s clear to
those watching from afar that
the fever has not broken. “Perhaps there hasn’t been a sufficient sense of urgency that Europe needs to prepare for a
hostile, maybe even more hostile
than Trump, president in 2024,”
she said.
Biden’s stop at the seaside
resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on the
Sinai Peninsula was meant to be
a visible reminder of the importance his administration places
on climate change. He had not
initially planned to attend, but
after a lengthy debate with advisers he reoriented his schedule.

Before his speech there,
Biden met with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi, who is
hosting the conference and has
faced criticism for a dismal
human rights record.
The Biden administration decided in September to withhold
$130 million in security aid for
Egypt for the second year because of a range of concerns on
that issue, including arbitrary
arrests, excessive pretrial detentions and torture by government jailers. Political and media
freedoms have also been restricted under Sisi.
Biden and Sisi held an extensive discussion about human
rights, according to White
House advisers, and Biden
raised specific cases and pressed
for the release of pro-democracy
activist Alaa Abdel Fattah.
“I can say emphatically that
we believe that Alaa Abdel Fattah should be released,” Sullivan
told reporters on Air Force One
following the stop in Egypt. He
noted the “constant debate”
over whether a diplomatic resolution is best pursued through
“public pressure or private engagement” and then opted for
the latter.
“In terms of talking through
the specifics of our discussions
with the Egyptians, I’d like to
leave those behind closed doors
for the moment,” Sullivan said.
One of Biden’s goals during
his visit to ASEAN is to signal to
key allies like Japan and South
Korea that the United States is
supporting them as China gains
more economic power.
“It is certainly the case that
the countries of the region do
not want conflict or confrontation between the major powers,”
Sullivan said. “But they also very
much want U.S. presence —
forward-deployed presence in
the region. And the reason they
want that is because they see the
United States as an important
anchor of peace and stability.”
“There is no doubt that the
president comes in with a meaningful value proposition to the
rest of the region that says, ‘The
United States is a resident Pacific power. We played a critical
role in the past. We play a
critical role today. And we have
every intention of doing so in
the future,’ ” Sullivan said.

Protesters arrested in Iran face a justice system stacked against them
BY

M IRIAM B ERGER

A young Iranian man accused
of lighting a trash can on fire
during a protest could face death
row for “waging war against God.”
Two female journalists who
helped break the story of Mahsa
Amini — the 22-year-old woman
who died in the custody of Iran’s
“morality police” — have been in
jail since late September, accused
without evidence of being CIA
agents.
In a hearing without his lawyer, a 22-year-old protester was
sentenced to death for committing “corruption on earth,” his
mother said in an online plea.
After an uproar, the judiciary
denied that a sentence had been
issued.
This is what justice looks like
in Iran, where the trials of protesters, bystanders and chroniclers of the current uprising have
begun. There is little expectation
of due process in a judicial system
dominated by the security services and stacked against the accused.
More than 15,000 Iranians
have been arrested and several
hundred killed in nearly two
months of protests, the activist
news agency Hrana estimates.
The demonstrations that began
in response to the alleged police
killing of Amini have cascaded
into a broad movement against
the country’s clerical leaders. Authorities have demanded harsh
punishments for protesters,
whom they call “rioters,” and have
sought to blame the unrest on
foreign powers.
Some of the detained are released with a fine. Others are
tried in a criminal court. But
political prisoners typically face
the feared revolutionary courts, a
parallel system created to protect
the Islamic republic, said Hadi
Enayat, a political sociologist specializing in Iranian law.
The revolutionary courts are
notorious for “egregious violations of due process,” said Tara
Sepehri Far of Human Rights
Watch. The state “uses the trials
as another element of shaping
their narrative about the protests.”
In late October, Iran’s judiciary
said it had indicted about 1,000
people in Tehran and would hold
public trials in the coming weeks.
As in the past, rights groups

Iranians in Tehran protest the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in early October after she died in the custody of Iran’s “morality police.”
More than 15,000 Iranians have been arrested and several hundred killed in nearly two months of demonstrations.

expect they will be sham trials,
relying on fabricated evidence
and confessions made under duress or torture. Detainees have
been accused of committing violence and killing Iranian security
forces with little or no evidence,
they say.
How these trials unfold could
offer hints about Tehran’s political calculus — whether it will
continue with its crackdown to
contain the protests, or further
escalate its repression in an effort
to stamp them out completely.
There is debate within Iran’s
security circles, said Ellie Geranmayeh, a senior policy fellow at
the European Council on Foreign
Relations, over whether “to shock
and awe the streets to scare them
away from protesting,” or prioritize “containing the threat without having to resort to the mass
executions that we saw in the

1980s” during post-revolution
purges.
“I think the system is sort of
stuck between what is the right
approach,” she said.
This tension broke through on
Nov. 5 when hard-line lawmakers,
who dominate Iran’s parliament,
issued a statement calling on the
judiciary to “deal decisively” with
the “instigators of recent riots”
and punish “enemies of God” — a
legal charge that can carry the
death penalty.
Iranians were outraged. Three
days later, the parliamentary
spokesperson
backtracked,
claiming that “Western media”
had misconstrued the lawmakers’
words; the harshest punishments
— which could include the death
penalty — would be reserved for
those who “spilled blood,” he said.
Iran is one of the world’s leading executioners. At least 314 peo-

ple were executed in 2021, according to Amnesty International,
though the true figure is probably
higher. Death sentences issued
for political prisoners are sometimes commuted or never carried
out, though the threat remains.
Iran’s legal system is based on a
fundamentalist interpretation of
Islamic law. Corruption and
abuse are rampant in the criminal courts, though years of international advocacy have led to
some incremental reforms, said
Hossein Raisi, a former lawyer in
Iran and now a human rights
professor at Carleton University
in Ottawa.
But ultimately the “Iranian judiciary system is the ‘supreme
leader’ judiciary system,” he said,
referring to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the head of Iran’s theocratic
government.
Iran’s first supreme leader,

OFFERING EXPERT
ROOFING SOLUTIONS
FOR OVER 35 YEARS

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini,
created the revolutionary courts
as a stopgap system to purge
opponents after ousting the country’s ruler, the shah, in 1979. They
have since become a key feature
of the Islamic republic, allowing
regime loyalists to control the
levers of justice. The revolutionary courts work closely with the
intelligence wing of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps, or
IRGC, the supreme leader’s parallel security force.
The revolutionary courts rely
on one judge, instead of the panel
of judges used in criminal courts.
Judges are typically clerics or
have been trained at a state-run
university. Political prisoners
have limited or no access to their
lawyers and cannot see the alleged evidence against them.
The Intelligence Ministry and
the IRGC’s intelligence wing are

often involved in interrogations
and evidence collection, in violation of Iranian law, said Raisi. But
during times of unrest, he said,
authorities drop all pretense of
following criminal procedure.
“Unfortunately,
everything
that happens in the room is based
on police or IRGC or regular
intelligence officers,” he said.
“When they don’t want to listen to
people, they actually ban all kinds
of the rights of the accused,” he
added.
Before leaving Iran, Raisi was
part of a small and ever-shrinking
group of independent lawyers
who take on human rights cases
and represent political prisoners.
These attorneys are under constant pressure and threat of arrest, said Raisi. When protests
break out, they offer legal aid to
families of detainees and often
take on cases pro bono. In recent
weeks, 24 lawyers have been arrested, according to Hrana.
During the 2009 Green Movement — when millions of Iranians
protested electoral fraud — Raisi
asked other lawyers in his hometown of Shiraz to volunteer. Only
seven did. But in recent weeks,
more than 40 lawyers in the
southwestern city have offered to
take on cases of detained protesters, he said.
“This is so beautiful,” Raisi
said.
But as demonstrations continue, and arrests increase, it will be
difficult for lawyers to keep up.
Raisi said judicial authorities
effectively “copy and paste”
charges, “like an application for
all branches across the country.”
Common charges have included
propaganda and illegal gatherings against the state.
The revolutionary courts were
key to Khamenei’s repression of
the Green Movement. After a violent crackdown in 2009, hundreds of protesters, including key
activists and reformist politicians, were tried, and several people were executed. The courts
were also used for protesters after
periods of unrest in 2017 and
2019.
By controlling the legal system,
and other institutions, Iran’s
leadership has “decapitated the
reform movement,” said Enayat,
the political sociologist.
“People have completely lost
faith in reforming the system, as
it hasn’t worked,” he said

Why the
crypto bubble
has finally
imploded

T

BY

JAMES HOHMANN

In Wisconsin,
Tony Evers
made a virtue
of being dull

A DAM L ASHINSKY

he bursting of the cryptocurrency bubble will end the way other
speculative crazes have concluded: in a trail of wreckage across
companies, continents — and unlucky
investors. Crypto has had a horrible
year. We saw the terra “stablecoin”
wipeout in May, the unraveling of the
FTX trading exchange this past week
and the shriveling of trading in nonfungible tokens all year long.
Small-time investors already have fled,
their grubstakes or life savings decimated. Well-heeled venture capitalists, badly
burned by each successive bust-up, will
wash their hands and move on to the next
shiny object. The side-hustling cryptoambassadors (insert any big name from
professional sports here, please) will slip
back backstage. And regulators, as is
their wont, will finally issue their overdue rules, long after the damage is done.
There’s a critical difference with crypto, though, compared with past bubbles:
It had virtually no intrinsic merit.
Before and after their bubble burst in
the mid-1600s, tulips were still pretty
flowers. American railroads begot massive (and positive) change well before the
Panic of 1873 and are still vital almost
150 years later. The promise of email in
the 1990s — and its dot-com derivatives
— was real and epochal. Even badly
abused subprime mortgages were a lamentable innovation on hard-to-get loans
for home purchasers — a market that
survived the financial crisis of 2008.

Crypto was supposed to have
all sorts of uses. None of this
has come true at any scale
worth bragging about.
“Crypto,” a still poorly understood
catchall phrase for digital currencies and
other securities not controlled by a government, won’t be able to make the same
claim. Crypto was supposed to be a haven
in inflationary times, the way hard-metal
commodities such as gold often are. Yet
confections like bitcoin and ethereum
have plummeted as inflation has skyrocketed. They promised a way to store
value. Clearly, they do not.
More egregiously, crypto was supposed to have all sorts of other uses, from
easy cross-border remittance to pegging
a value for newly created forms of digital
art. None of this has come true at any
scale worth bragging about.
In our system, entrepreneurs, and the
investors who back them, provide a
valuable service by taking risks on unproven ideas. Without them, we wouldn’t
have Apple or Google — or Post-it notes.
But we now know the crop of swaggering
financiers who dreamed up the new
category of investments casually known
as web3 have been kidding themselves.
A common justification for these investments has been that they captured
the fascination of software coders and
entrepreneurs, leading to the dreamy
conclusion that a real market for digital
assets of all kinds was emerging.
What emerged instead is another example of one of the worst ills that afflicts
Sand Hill Road, the heart of Silicon
Valley’s venture-capital industry: confirmation bias. The enthusiasm the VCs
mistook for an investment thesis was
often just the result of too much cash
chasing too few truly good ideas.
Nerds aren’t stupid: If someone offers
them oodles of money to chase a fad,
they’ll start coding. Hence, crypto.
The past 15 years or so of venturecapital investing can be in many ways
explained by the low-interest-rate environment in which it exploded. With
endowments and pension funds (and
many an ordinary multimillionaire) unable to earn safe returns in bonds for
more than a decade, their money managers opted instead to place riskier bets.
Consider the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Canada’s third-largest. Three
years ago, it set up a special fund to make
venture-capital-stage investments. It invested $95 million in FTX, a leading
crypto trading platform. On Thursday, it
noted that “not all of the investments in
this early-stage asset class perform to
expectations.” It added that its FTX investment — presumably none of which it
will ever see again — represents a tiny
percentage of overall investments.
For years now, the folly of such investment strategies translated, essentially,
into free money for entrepreneurs. It
didn’t take a genius to spin up a company
when the cost of capital was next to zero.
Now, that era is over. Higher interest
rates will allow pension funds such as the
one in Ontario to seek safer investments.
As a result, the flow of funds to VCs and
start-ups will slow. Only the best companies and VCs will emerge on the other side.

The art of the
concession speech
he winners get the glory on election night, but losers have a vital role to play,
too. The ritual of the concession speech — tested by the election denialism of
2020 — is a powerful and remarkable part of our democratic system. Here, we
offer a sampling from around the midterms.

Tim Ryan

Democratic nominee for Senate from Ohio
“I had the privilege to concede this race to J.D.
Vance. Because the way this country operates is
that you lose an election, you concede. You
respect the will of the people. We can’t have a
system where if you win, it’s a legitimate election,
and if you lose, someone stole it. That is not how
we can move forward in the United States. . . .
“I’m concerned that this country, as we move
forward, it may get worse before it gets better. But
we need good people who are going to honor the
institutions of this country.”

Tudor Dixon

Republican nominee for governor of Michigan
“I called Governor [Gretchen] Whitmer this
morning to concede and wish her well. Michigan’s
future success rests not in elected officials or
government, but all of us. It is incumbent upon all
of us to help our children read, support law
enforcement and grow our economy. Thank you to
our volunteers and supporters for working so hard
to forge a better Michigan. We came up short, but
we will never stop fighting for our families.”

Mehmet Oz

Republican nominee for Senate
from Pennsylvania
“This morning, I called John Fetterman and
congratulated him. I wish him and his family all
the best, both personally and as our next United
States Senator. . . .
“We are facing big problems as a country, and we
need everyone to put down their partisan swords
and focus on getting the job done. With bold
leadership that brings people together, we can
create real change. As a Doctor, I always do my best
to help others heal. That’s why I ran for Senate. I
hope we begin the healing process as a nation soon.”

Yesli Vega

Republican nominee for Virginia’s
7th Congressional District
“We gave it our all but came up a little short last
night. . . . I want to congratulate the Congresswoman on a hard fought win.”

Paul LePage

Republican nominee for governor of Maine
“I accept the results of yesterday’s election. I
continue to have grave concerns for the people of
Maine over the need for home heating oil relief and
efforts to handle inflation. I urge the Governor to
take action.”

Scott Jensen

Republican nominee for governor of Minnesota
“We would have loved to have been victorious.
We thought we should be victorious. We thought
we spoke to the issues that could really be affected
by this election. But in victory, I think humility
would have been our choice. . . . But I have to speak
to loss. . . .
“I thank all of you. Tim Walls is the governor for
four more years. . . .
“Republicans quite frankly, we didn’t have a red
wave. It was a blue wave. And we need to stop. We
need to recalibrate. We need to ask ourselves, Okay,
what can we learn from this, what can we do better,
how do we go forward?”

Stacey Abrams

Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia
“It is good to be here in this moment, surrounded by your love and support. And let me begin by
offering congratulations to Gov. Brian Kemp. . . .
“And tonight we must be honest. Even though
my fight, our fight, for the Governor’s Mansion
may have come up short, I’m pretty tall. This is a
moment where despite every obstacle, we are still
standing strong and standing tall, and standing
resolute, and standing in our values. . . . I am
suspending my campaign. I may no longer be
seeking the office of governor, but I will never
stop doing everything in my power to ensure that
the people in Georgia have the choice to run
government.”

Nan Whaley

Democratic nominee for Ohio governor
“This is obviously not the result we were hoping
for. A few minutes ago, I called Governor [Mike]
DeWine to congratulate him and wish him and
Fran good luck in another term.
“Even when we don’t get the outcome we hope
for, it’s vital that we respect our democracy.”

Max Della Pia

Democratic nominee for New York’s
23rd Congressional District
“While I regret not being able to serve you in
Congress, I can assure you the effort to run was
worth it. It is always important to provide the
voters a choice, even when the odds are against
you. . . .
“The results of today’s election will have
consequences. My hope is that voters will not give
up on the election process or our democracy but
will rather recommit themselves to responsible
government motivated by public service rather
than by party, money, power, and ego. In the
future, I hope we will be led by our better angels
and principles, so that our country will truly
become one nation indivisible, with the fulfilled
promise of liberty and justice for all.”

Pam Anderson

Republican nominee for Colorado
secretary of state
“Our message of professionalism and removing partisan politics from the office couldn’t be
more important in this time. . . . Our elections
serve as a battle of ideas, not a battle with the
referees. . . .
“Elections officials and administrators, Republicans, Democrats, unaffiliated, all across our state
and across our nation are your bipartisan friends
and community members. The vast majority of
them checked their partisanship at the door and
performed their functions with integrity and
purpose and duty and obligation.”

Sean Patrick Maloney

Incumbent Democratic nominee for
New York’s 17th Congressional District
“I don’t like to lose, but my opponent won this
race. He won it fair and square, and that means
something. So I’m going to step aside, and I had a
good run.”

Pat Spearman

Democratic nominee for mayor of
North Las Vegas, Nev.
“The voters of North Las Vegas have made a
decision. I respect that decision."

Joy Hofmeister

Democratic nominee for governor
of Oklahoma
“We have planted seeds all across this state to
get back to a place of civility, back to a place where
we unite.”

John Moss

Incumbent, nonpartisan nominee for
Virginia Beach City Council District 9
“I fully expect Mr. [Joash] Schulman to be
the certified winner of the District 9 seat on the
City Council when the yet-uncounted votes are
counted.”

Bob Stefanowski

Republican nominee for governor
of Connecticut
“Connecticut gets it right, we had a good
election, a fair election and now we have to come
together to get it done.”

Toni Boucher

Republican nominee for
Connecticut state Senate
“Going into it, you knew that it was always going
to be an uphill battle, but the process of good
government and involvement is key.”

milwaukee

isconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D)
won reelection Tuesday by
3.4 points. That’s a landslide
in a state where four of the
past six presidential contests were decided by less than one point and the first
time since 1990 that a Badger State
governor was reelected from the same
party that controlled the White House.
For a Democrat, it’s the first time since
1962.
Evers, a former schoolteacher who
derives pleasure from euchre and polka
music, was rewarded by independents for
his stalwart defense of voting and abortion rights. “As it turns out,” Evers said in
his victory speech, “boring wins.”
The race was a bit more complicated
than that. Republican challenger Tim
Michels, who won the August primary
because of an endorsement from former
president Donald Trump, promised to
abolish the bipartisan Wisconsin Election Commission, sign nearly 20 restrictive voting bills that Evers had vetoed and
opened the door to not certifying the 2024
presidential results. “Republicans will
never lose another election in Wisconsin
after I’m elected governor,” Michels declared at a campaign stop on Oct. 31.
Evers said some Democratic strategists
suggested that he not talk about democracy on the trail because the term is too
broad and abstract, but he emphasized
voting rights anyway. “I think Wisconsinites get it,” he said. The governor ran as a
check and balance on GOP extremism,
boasting that he vetoed a record 126 bills
over the past two years, and warned that
Michels would be a rubber stamp for a
Republican legislature.

The governor ran as a check
and balance on GOP
extremism, boasting that he
vetoed a record 126 bills over
the past two years.
Independents made up 30 percent of
the electorate, according to exit polling,
and Evers won them by six points. Several
said during interviews that they are uncomfortable with one-party rule at the
federal or state level. Gerrymandering
has made it virtually impossible for Democrats to win control of the state Assembly or Senate.
Abortion also mattered: An 1849 state
law banning the procedure was dormant
until the Supreme Court struck down Roe
v. Wade in June. With providers fleeing to
Illinois, Evers offered clemency to anyone
convicted of providing care and called
special sessions to (unsuccessfully) pressure Republicans to update the law. Michels said he was unapologetically prolife and that the 1849 ban mirrored his
position. Later, he suggested he would
sign a bill to add exemptions for rape and
incest.
This issue drove a massive turnout
spike in liberal Dane County, home to the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. Evers
won about 16,000 more votes from the
county than in 2018.
Statewide, about one-third of voters
identified abortion as their top issue, and
Evers won 84 percent of them. According
to exit polls, only 8 percent of the electorate said abortion should be illegal in all
cases while 62 percent said it should be
legal in most or all cases. Evers won
women by 13 points.
Democrats benefited from Trump fatigue. While nearly 54 percent of voters
disapproved of Biden, 58 percent held an
unfavorable view of the former president.
In fact, exit polling shows about 30 percent said opposing Trump was a reason
for their vote, which is stunning when you
consider that he hasn’t been president for
two years.
Trump stumped with Michels in August, and Evers’s aides prayed that he’d
return to the state for a pre-election rally.
They didn’t get that lucky, but they said
later that they were helped in the suburbs
by Trump teasing his plans for 2024 the
night before the election.
But trashing Trump didn’t play well
everywhere, so the campaign tailored its
message by region. The campaign produced more than 2,000 ads all targeted
locally. Evers didn’t run a single ad focusing on abortion on broadcast television in
some north central counties, for example,
while Madison received the most prochoice content. Each of the 72 counties
had bespoke communications that discussed how many local businesses Evers
had helped.
The governor spent the final days of the
race barnstorming around Wisconsin on
a yellow school bus, just as he did when he
toppled Scott Walker in 2018. He boasted
of repaving more than 5,000 miles of
highway since taking office. “The roads

Highway maintenance — boring? Perhaps to some. But there’s nothing boring

How Congress can make
the lame-duck session a mighty one

3. Protect democracy at home
Another overriding priority should be passing a legislative
response to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, which President
Donald Trump spurred in part on the basis of his tendentious
interpretation of an obscure 1887 law on procedures for
counting electoral votes. That law should be amended to make
clear the vice president has no authority to reject states’
electoral votes, as Mr. Trump was pressuring Vice President
Mike Pence to do. Before Jan. 6, Mr. Trump pressed state and
local officials to overturn the votes in their jurisdictions.
Reformers should empower federal courts to oversee these
officials, putting a check on those who would upend the
democratic process.

I agree with Philip Kennicott’s Nov. 7
front-page Critic’s Notebook essay, “Stop
building museums on the National Mall.
Extend it.”
When Congress established the Reserve — national park land on the crossaxis of the National Mall from the Capitol
to the Lincoln Memorial and the White
House to the Jefferson Memorial — under
the Commemorative Works Act in 2003, it
considered that area a “completed work of
civic art” in which no new memorials or
buildings would be built.
The recommendation to situate the
American Women’s History Museum and
the National Museum of the American
Latino in the Reserve directly conflicts
not only with the 2003 act but also with
the 2020 law authorizing those museums,
which states that they “shall not be located in the Reserve.”
During my 22 years with the legislative
affairs office of the National Park Service,
I saw exception after exception made by
Congress to build memorials or buildings
within the Reserve to mollify one group
or another. Unfortunately, I have seen few
members willing to defend the Reserve,
as political expediency continues to win
out time after time over the intent of the
law.
A former deputy director of the National Park Service once lamented that our
nation’s capital was becoming like so
many of the major cities of Europe, where
buildings and memorials are stacked one
after another, eliminating green space and
scenic vistas. It appears Washington is
headed in the same direction. Our national park lands, our nation’s capital and the
American people deserve better than this.

What the media got wrong

Debt limit, Russian aggression and protecting democracy should be the top priorities.

A

CONGRESS that remains in office between the election and formal installation of its successor is a
peculiar American phenomenon. Known as “lame
ducks,” because of the weakness that operating under
an expiring mandate connotes, the Senate and House nevertheless retain lawmaking power between November and January.
In fact, lame-duck Congresses can gain freedom of action if
enough members on their way out feel they have less to lose
politically — and potentially more to gain in the judgment of
history — from taking tough votes. Past lame-duck Congresses
have stretched their wings, passing such landmark legislation
as the Civil Rights Act of 1875 and the Privacy Act of 1974.
That is how the current 117th Congress should see itself
when it returns to Washington. The country faces crucial
unfinished business, which the next Congress seems less likely
to handle, or handle appropriately. Though its composition
remains unsettled because of still-undecided races, the probability is that Republicans will narrowly control the House;
therefore, divided government is likely to be back for the last
two years of President Biden’s term, with the GOP’s right fringe
holding more leverage in a House where their party has only a
sliver of a majority. By contrast, the current House and Senate
still include outgoing moderate and pragmatic GOP lawmakers
who might be willing to work with Democrats.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) appears
to recognize the imperative, telling his colleagues in September
that they “should be prepared for an extremely, underline
extremely, busy agenda in the last two months of this
Congress.” Here are the priorities he and other Democratic
leaders should set:
1. Prevent the risk of a catastrophic default
Republicans have already signaled the intention of their
hard-liners to hold the national debt limit hostage for spending
cuts or other Democratic concessions. Republicans put the
nation’s full faith and credit in doubt this way in 2011, thwarted
only by a tenuous last-minute compromise that Mr. Biden —
then Barack Obama’s vice president — brokered with Senate
Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.). The incoming GOP
congressional delegation includes an extreme right faction
larger — and more radical — than the one that almost crashed
the economy in 2011. “A default by the U.S. government would
be substantially worse than the collapse of Lehman Brothers in
2008, devastating global markets and the economy,” Beth Ann
Bovino, U.S. chief economist of Standard & Poor’s, predicted
earlier this year.
Democrats should take these risks off the table by raising the
debt limit in the lame duck, by whatever means necessary. If
too few Republicans are willing to help, Democrats should use
the reconciliation process, which allows them to pass certain
types of legislation through the Senate with a bare majority
vote, to increase the debt limit substantially. This would eat up
precious floor time in the final weeks before the 117th Congress
goes out of business. But there could hardly be a more urgent
matter than preventing the global financial instability that
could result from even partial U.S. debt default.

A dangerous game of debt limit chicken
Fears of a government default in July 2011, spiked interest rates on
some U.S. debt, raising federal borrowing costs and rattling markets,
before Congress struck a last-minute deal.

2. Fight Russian aggression
Congress should lock in economic and military aid for
Ukraine while supporters — in both parties — still dominate
Capitol Hill. To Russian President Vladimir Putin’s undoubted
delight, U.S. aid has faced bipartisan skepticism in recent days,
as some on both the Democratic left and Trumpian Republican
right questioned the need to spend billions helping that
country defend itself against Russia. In fact, the costs of
stopping Mr. Putin’s attempt to redraw the map by force are far
smaller than the costs of letting him get away with it. Failing to
face Kremlin aggression would encourage more of the same,
and the United States has already seen how such conflict can
inflict pain on average Americans.
An aid cutoff would be particularly perverse at the very
moment Ukrainian forces have just pushed Russian forces

This Congress supports Ukraine
In May, the House passed a $40 billion Ukraine aid bill. But growing
opposition was already visible; 57 Republicans voted against it. The

out of the key city of Kherson, showing that they can make
good use of U.S. weaponry. Both Mr. Biden and House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have expressed optimism that a new
package — still of undetermined size — can be secured.
Mr. Biden also noted Wednesday that, despite claims to the
contrary, he has not provided Ukraine a blank check,
rejecting weapons requests he deems imprudent. A new aid
package should be as substantial, in both dollars and
duration, as possible.

The critical legislation likely needs 10 Senate Republicans to help it
pass. It has 15 GOP co-sponsors.

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

In his Nov. 10 Thursday Opinion column, “Biggest loser of the midterm elections? The media.,” Dana Milbank admitted that the media pundits had it all
wrong for a GOP “red wave.” It is not easy
to admit you’re wrong. In her Nov. 10
op-ed, “A Democratic ploy imperiled our
future. It paid off — this time.,” Megan
McArdle could not. Instead, she decided
to find a perilous ploy the Democrats used
in their campaign, though she was forced
to admit “it seems to have worked.”
Our election exposed a number of human responses from voters, and one was
their ability to ignore the media pundits
and their manipulative polls.
Joan Salemi, West Springfield
Perhaps there was a method to the
madness of widespread media predictions that the country was headed toward
a red tsunami in the midterm elections.
They seem to have had the effect of instilling enough fear into Democrats to cause
them to go to the polls and prove them
wrong.

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

year 2026 and amplify sales through 2035
and beyond until the fleet is complete. The
technology exists, with 30 manufacturing
companies producing zero-emission
trucks and 100 models on the market.
With prices predicted to drop for electric
vehicles in the next few years and minimal

The gradual introduction of these vehicles

California and Maryland are overcome
with diesel trucks and delivery vans in

line communities as demands for consumer goods skyrocket and elevate the

Maryland can significantly reduce premature deaths, asthma, lung cancer and
heart attacks, permitting easy breathing

Mr. Daniels missed the basics
We get it, Mitch Daniels really doesn’t
like Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). He
spent the bulk of his Nov. 9 op-ed, “Modern Monetary Theory, debunked,” hurling
insults at MMT (“hogwash,” etc.), invoking authority figures who revile MMT
(Lawrence H. Summers, Paul Krugman,
et al.) and comparing MMT to phrenology. What he did not do, however, was
explain why MMT fails as an economic
theory. Simply put, MMT says that a
“monetary sovereign” government, such
as the United States, does not need to
worry about budget deficits given that it
prints its own currency.
Mr. Daniels wrote this about MMT:
“The suggestion was that a government
could borrow unlimited amounts of money in its own currency and repay it without
risk simply by printing more of that currency.” Catch that? The U.S. government
likes to “borrow” money and repaying it
by “printing more of that currency.”
Mr. Daniels did not address why the
U.S. government needs to “borrow” money if it can simply print more of it. If you
had a printing press in your basement that
printed currency that everyone was compelled to accept (such as U.S. dollars),
would you ever go to a bank to borrow
currency? You wouldn’t. And neither does
the U.S. government.
Francis Grab, Washington
Mitch Daniels was distraught about the
fiscal recklessness of a “12-digit spending
bill,” known as the Inflation Reduction
Act of 2022. But wait. Mr. Daniels failed to
mention that the bill was fully paid for and
provides for deficit reduction as well. The
savings came from the establishment of a
15 percent minimum corporate tax, prescription drug pricing reform and Internal Revenue Service tax enforcement.
That is known as “pay as you go.”
During Mr. Daniels’s time as director of
the Office of Management and Budget for
President George W. Bush, he relied more
on borrowing money (debt financing) to
pay the bills, not hard spending choices.
He was a key architect of Mr. Bush’s 2001
and 2003 tax cuts, which added about
$1.9 trillion to the national debt. Similarly, Mr. Daniels was not reluctant to prepare deficit appropriation spending requests to Congress, as contained in the
OMB’s annual President’s Budget.
Mr. Daniels’s actions speak louder than
his words. He was a borrow-and-spend
practitioner, not a fiscally conservative
one.

GEORGE F. WILL

50 years
later,
the ERA
staggers on

I

n 1972, a year of disco, hiphugging bell-bottoms, 36-cents-agallon gas and Joe Biden’s first
Senate election, Congress sent the
Equal Rights Amendment to the states
for ratification. This required the assent of three-quarters of them
(38) within seven years. A ratification
deadline, which has been an organic
part of every amendment submitted to
the states for a century, is intended to
ensure what the Supreme Court calls a
“sufficiently contemporaneous” consensus for constitutional change.
Although the ERA (“Equality of
rights under the law shall not be
denied or abridged . . . on account of
sex”) has long been dead as a doornail,
it is a useful cadaver. Progressives
toiling to resurrect it are expending
energy they might otherwise devote to
achievable mischief. And they are reminding the nation how aggressively
they will traduce constitutional, ruleof-law and democratic norms to
achieve their goals, however frivolous.
The ERA rocketed toward ratification: Seven states approved it the first
week, 19 within three months, mostly
without hearings because it was rightly regarded as a constitutional nullity,
a “consciousness-raising” gesture:
What would it add to the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of “equal protection
of the laws” for all “persons”? But by
1975, the momentum to clutter the
Constitution with pointless verbiage
stalled. So, the amendment’s supporters began their now 47-year, evermore-sophistical campaign to rig the
ratification process.
Although decades later they would
assert — without evidence, of which
there is none from the Constitution’s
text or history — that ratification
deadlines are unconstitutional, they
got Congress to extend the deadline.
Congress, whose members are sworn
to “support and defend” the Constitution, extended it 39 months — by a
simple majority vote. This, even
though the deadline was a component
of the amendment, which had to pass
both houses of Congress with twothirds majorities. And even though
30 of the 35 states that had ratified it
by January 1977 had referred to the
seven-year deadline in their ratification resolutions.
Congress, supinely pandering, extended the deadline — but only for
states that had not already ratified it.
This was to block additional recissions: Four states, having had second
(or perhaps first) thoughts, had canceled their ratifications. The 39-month
extension expired in 1982, 123 months
after the ERA left Congress, having
gone longer (65 months) without an
additional state’s ratification than it
took to get the original 35 (which by
then had shrunk to 30).
Since then, the ERA’s advocates of
equality for women have insisted on
ever-more-elaborate special treatment
for the amendment. They have said the
clock can never expire on ratification,
and no ratification can be rescinded.
Baldly declaring the five recissions
impermissible, and that all deadlines
are illegitimate, between 2017 and
2020 they got three more states to
ratify the ERA. So, they said, the
38-state threshold had been reached,
and they demanded that the National
Archivist declare the Constitution
amended. This he declined to do.
The ERA-as-Lazarus project has
had unpleasant experiences in the
courts, where law is taken seriously. In
2021, a federal district judge (an
Obama appointee) held that the sevenyear deadline set by Congress half a
century ago was valid, so the three
states’ make-believe ratifications,
2017-2020, were without legal effect.
This brings to 26 the number of federal
judges (14 Republican and 12 Democratic appointees) whose message to
the ERA resurrectionists has been
essentially: You’re kidding, right?
With a tenacity inversely proportional to their credibility, the ERA’s bitterenders, who of course subscribe to
progressivism’s theory of unlimited
presidential power, insist that the ERA
is “one signature away” — the archivist’s — from becoming the
28th Amendment. They want President
Biden to order the archivist to ignore all
the legal folderol and paste the ERA
into the Constitution. The archivist
who spurned the resurrectionists’ demand has retired, but his likely successor seems equally sensible.
At Senate confirmation hearings
for Colleen Shogan in September, she
was asked by Sen. Rob Portman
(R-Ohio): “If confirmed, would you
continue to abide by the January 2020
[Justice Department’s Office of Legal
Counsel] opinion, as your predecessor
did?” She said yes, and that a court
order would be the only circumstance
under which she would certify that the
ERA has been ratified. If she means
this, the amendment’s fate was settled
long ago.
If any of the resurrectionists were
just 21 in 1972 when Congress sent the
ERA to the states, they are now 71.
Their hip-hugging bell-bottoms are
dimly remembered embarrassments,
like the ERA.

When women see themselves
in a new light

C

ontrary to the adage, seeing isn’t
always believing. Sometimes
seeing is disbelieving, as when a
woman looks in the mirror and
wonders what happened to the person
she used to be.
This isn’t about vanity — the sudden
appearance of lines and wrinkles or a
sagging jawline. I’m talking about the
haunted, broken look of a woman who
has been a prisoner, drug addict or
victim of abuse who has somehow become unrecognizable to herself.
How did she become that other person, and how does she now become
someone else?
These are among the questions
that haunt the women who enter the
Lovelady Center in Birmingham, Ala., a
faith-based rehabilitation program.
Most, almost invariably, leave full of
hope and a renewed sense of self.
Lovelady was founded in 2004 and
welcomes women into its program
straight from prison, sometimes because of court orders and sometimes
through self-admittance. Many are teen
mothers who were born to teen mothers.
Many are drug addicts or prostitutes.
Most have suffered abuse in one form or
another. The center, which houses and
feeds several hundred women and
60 children, is for many the last stop on a
road that was leading nowhere.
My accidental encounter with the
center came in June when I wandered
into a North Carolina mountain lodge
and was greeted with walls covered with
a traveling exhibit of beautiful portraits
of women by obviously accomplished
artists. Some of the portraits were sideby-side with photos of the women taken
in their previous lives — their faces
topographical histories of pasts filled
with the worst life has to offer.
All the women captured in the portraits had lived at Lovelady. And you
could bet none of them had ever expected to be subjects of portraits — flattering
or otherwise.
Each painting was by a different artist, who had volunteered his or her
talents to the Portrait Project, a mission
to show the featured women a better
version of themselves — and to give hope
to others who might need help reimagining themselves. A collection of the
portraits, each accompanied by the
women’s stories in their own words, is
now part of a book titled “Portraits of
Hope.”
The Portrait Project was the brainchild of Beverly Blount McNeil, whose
husband, John, began working at the
center about 10 years ago and is now
chairman of the board. Beverly wanted
to extend the center’s work by helping
women see themselves in a more positive, future-filled, light.
It can be hard to become something
you’ve never seen or imagined for yourself until someone draws it for you. And
most of these women had only known
themselves as losers.
My favorite portrait, by artist Daniel
Gerhartz, is of a smiling, fuchsia-clad
Shay Bell Curry. She’s wearing hoop
earrings and extending her right hand in
a peace sign. Instantly I thought, I need
to know this woman. But Curry, who

didn’t get to write her own story.
Instead, her mentor, and founder of
the center, Brenda Lovelady Spahn,
wrote it for her. She described Curry, the
first client to enter the center on the day
it opened, as “a bit scary to be around the

first couple of days. She was like a keg of
dynamite ready to explode.” Sexually
abused as a child and physically abused
on the streets and in prison, Curry
“could not handle simple life,” Spahn
wrote.
Eventually, Curry found and reconciled with the two children she had
dropped off at her mother’s and sister’s
doors. She got married, owned a home
and car, and became an involved grand-

mother. She probably would have been
the first to tell you she was saved by God
and the Lovelady Center. She also insisted on becoming part of the center’s staff,
frequently acting as the first person
newcomers met upon their arrival.
To complete the Lovelady program,
attendees must, among other things,
stay nine to 12 months and acquire a
number of educational and self-help
credits (and a GED if needed) as well as
attend counseling, a job readiness program and obtain other basics of citizenship. Sobriety is a must.
Curry’s story is remarkable, yes, but it
is not unusual. Bobbie Raye Smith told
me she was drugged out and was stumbling down a rural dirt road at night,
destination unknown, when she heard
singing from across a field. She staggered toward the music and entered a
church. Taking a seat in a pew, she stayed
for the service, after which the minister’s wife approached her and said,
“Honey, you need help.”
Smith was at Lovelady the next morning and today sings its praise with a
voice that would make a believer out of
the stubbornest iconoclast. As adages
go, here are two for you: Art can change
lives. And the lord works in mysterious
ways.

Political Prisoner Day matters
around the world — and in my Moscow prison

T

here aren’t many national, let alone
international,
commemorative
dates that originated in prisons —
which makes all the more notable
last month’s resolution in the U.S. Congress
recognizing Oct. 30 as the International
Day of Political Prisoners. The measure
comes on the heels of a parallel proposal
unanimously adopted earlier this year by
lawmakers in the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe. The bipartisan
House resolution notes that “national governments and legislative bodies have an
obligation to raise awareness about the
plight of political prisoners” and to work
for “their prompt release.”
The original Political Prisoner Day was
marked in the Soviet Union on Oct. 30,
1974, with hunger strikes by prisoners in
several political labor camps and other
detention facilities. The initiative was the
brainchild of Soviet prisoners of conscience
Kronid Lyubarsky and Alexei Murzhenko,
who sought to draw attention to the plight
of thousands imprisoned in the U.S.S.R. on
political or religious grounds. In Moscow,
the inauguration of Political Prisoner Day
was announced at a news conference by
prominent dissident Andrei Sakharov.
The initiative proved resilient, and
Oct. 30 was marked by coordinated hunger
strikes in political labor camps every year
until the end of the Soviet Union. Starting
in the late 1980s, demonstrations of solidarity with political prisoners were held in
the country’s largest cities. On Oct. 30,
1989, thousands of Muscovites holding
candles formed a human chain around the
KGB building before being dispersed by
riot police as they attempted to organize a
rally.
The collapse of the Soviet regime
brought the unthinkable: In October 1991,

the Russian parliament — which included
several former prisoners of conscience —
legislated for Oct. 30 to be officially observed as the Remembrance Day for the
Victims of Political Repression.
Every year, government officials would
join thousands of Russians at memorials
across the country — including a commemorative stone brought from the first Soviet
penal camp on the Solovetsky Islands and
installed in front of the KGB building in
Moscow — to remember the millions who
perished under Communist rule. The central theme at these events was “never
forget.” No one could contemplate that
Political Prisoner Day would ever regain its
original meaning.
But it did. Starting with a trickle in the
early years of Russian President Vladimir
Putin’s rule, the numbers of political prisoners in Russia have mushroomed, reaching a scale comparable to the late Soviet
period. According to the latest (and
self-admittedly incomplete) figures from
Memorial, Russia’s most respected human
rights organization and co-recipient of this
year’s Nobel Peace Prize, there are some
500 political prisoners in the country —
from prominent opposition leaders and
human rights activists to members of
banned political groups to adherents of
prohibited religious faiths.
One particularly fast-growing segment
on Russia’s political prisoner list is made up
by opponents of Putin’s war on Ukraine:
journalists, lawyers, artists, priests, politicians, military officers and many others
who have publicly protested the invasion,
even at the cost of personal freedom. In the
half a year I’ve been imprisoned, I’ve come
to witness firsthand just how incomplete
the publicly available lists really are; the
actual numbers of political prisoners in
Russia are exponentially higher.
Russia is by no means the only member

of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) — a group of
countries that includes the United States —
to hold significant numbers of political
prisoners. Other OSCE states, from former
Soviet republics such as Belarus and Azerbaijan to NATO member Turkey, have thousands of political prisoners among them.
The problem has not only reached global
proportions. It also clearly violates
international law — including OSCE statutes that prohibit politically motivated and
otherwise arbitrary imprisonment. Recognizing this growing crisis, OSCE Parliamentary Assembly President Margareta
Cederfelt this year named Rep. Steve Cohen
(D-Tenn.) the special representative on political prisoners, the first international officeholder specifically devoted to this issue.
Along with Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), Cohen
was the lead sponsor of the resolution
designating the International Day of Political Prisoners.
The importance of international advocacy in this area is difficult to overstate. Irwin
Cotler, the former Canadian justice minister who as an international human rights
lawyer has represented some of the world’s
most prominent prisoners of conscience,
including Nelson Mandela and Natan Sharansky, once wrote that “the prisoner’s
worst nightmare is the thought of being
forgotten.”
And it’s not only about moral support
(although the significance of that is difficult to overstate). Sustained high-level advocacy from democratic nations has helped
secure the release of prisoners of conscience all over the world, including many
in the Soviet Union and Russia. Few political accomplishments can compare in importance to returning freedom to those
unjustly deprived of it. The International
Day of Political Prisoners is a timely reminder that much work still remains.

bove the secret entrance to the
Political Pundits Club is
carved the organization’s ancient motto: Saepe Fallor
Nunquam in Dubio. Often Mistaken,
Never in Doubt. Beyond the heavy oak
door with its groaning iron hinges,
members gather to throw back hot
takes while waiters at tableside carve
thick slabs of conventional wisdom.
This is always a busy time at the
Club as we take turns peering into a
fresh batch of election results and
sharing our divinations. My turn finally came during what we call the Mo
Udall Cup — named for the Arizona
congressman who noted that “everything has been said, but not everyone
has said it.” By then the audience was
weary, and frankly, the batch was
murky to me.
Instead of focusing on Florida,
gauging Georgia or pondering Pennsylvania, I was hung up on results from
Kansas, of all places. One weird pair of
results in particular. I recalled the
words of political consultant Dick
Tuck, a legendary Pundits Club member. “The people have spoke — the
bastards,” he said in 1966. His words
echoed as I wondered what Kansans
were trying to say.
The voters reelected Gov. Laura
Kelly, a moderate Democrat with a
soothing demeanor. Kelly is the sort of
governor you want if you prefer not to
give much thought to your governor:
knowledgeable, practical, low-key. You
get the feeling she probably has a
safety pin and a spare handkerchief in
her handbag, and maybe caramels for
the grandkids.
Down the ballot, the same voters
elected Kris Kobach to be their next
attorney general. Kobach is an original
gangsta of MAGA Republicanism; he
manned the ramparts against immigrant throngs when Stephen Miller
was but a lad watching “The Simpsons” and crushing on Mr. Burns. A
perpetual candidate, Kobach distilled
his platform this time to just three
words: “Sue Joe Biden.”
Kelly and Kobach go together like a
Christmas cardigan and a bag of broken glass. I can see why people might
prefer one or the other, but I’m surprised to see both in the same shopping cart. Surprised and baffled.
That’s not enough for the Club,
though. (The Pundits Club anthem
admonishes: “ . . . When voting poses
mysteries / We boil them down to
A-B-Cs . . .”)
Compelled to say more, I suggest
stripping away from the political picture all the storms and thunder of the
recent past to look at a 30-year stretch
of American voting. In retrospect,
these decades have a clear identity:
They are the 50-50 years; the splitblanket years; the divided government
years. Presidential candidates struggle
for majorities, and often win with less.
Landslides are a thing of the past.
Chambers of Congress flip and flop
from one slippery grip to the other.
This must be what the voters intend.
Too often for coincidence, they produce unclear results, weeks of recounts, high-stakes runoff elections.
The Pundits Club must admit: These
aren’t obstructions of our view into the
will of the voters. They are the will
itself. The gridlock is the message.
Through the magical mechanism of
mass voting, Americans express a persistent impulse toward divided government. Could it be that the most
important polarization today is not
between parties, but between governors and governed? Are we, by some
wonderfully stable group-mind, protecting ourselves from politics gone
wild? Knowing how closely divided we
are, our atomized wisdom adds up
vote by vote to a hobble for both
parties — binds them in an endless
three-legged race, rather than risk
winner-take-all.
If this is true, the Kansas anomaly
makes perfect sense. The ballot that
elected both Kelly and Kobach — polar
opposites — was cast by the electorate’s invisible hand, which seeks balance, always balance.
Before signing my tab and departing, I add this:
Voters in Election 2022 asserted
another kind of balance, too. Not just
balance of parties and passions — but a
proper balance between the attention
we give to politics and the attention we
save for everything else. Politics has
sucked up too much attention for too
long, and voters struck back this year
by telling one particular blowhard to
pipe down already.
Other blowhards should take note.
Voters want to live again, with parts
of their lives blissfully free of politics.
There is so much to enjoy: Kansas City
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes
making a masterpiece using nothing
but his legs and his want-to. Young
Barbra Streisand singing again in the
voice of her miraculous youth in
recordings locked away for decades.
Riots of autumn leaves turning blustery skies into kaleidoscopes.
Over the din and jostle of the Pundits Club, life calls us away from
politics. I wonder: Will the Club ever
hear?

20 years on, justice for family terrorized in home invasion
COLD CASE FROM A1

Dad built a word-of-mouth business repairing backhoes, excavators and other heavy trucks. But
they also lived in fear, worried
that the men or their associates
would return.
“I know you,” one of them had
told the dad in 2003, warning
him to have money next time.
“This was your lucky day.”
The family rarely told anyone
what they’d been through. And
they moved to a new apartment
or townhouse every few years —
always in the D.C. area — thinking that doing so would make
them harder to find.
Then came last spring and a
knock on the door. It was two
Montgomery County investigators who had picked up the longunsolved case. They had new
DNA evidence. And they needed
the family’s help.
“I know who did it,” Detective
Rob Cassels said. “At least one of
them.”
‘Where’s the money?!’
Over several interviews, the
family spoke about the break-in
and its effect on their lives. For
safety reasons, they spoke on the
condition that only their first
names be used. The Washington
Post generally does not name
victims of violent crime without
their permission. Interviews with
law enforcement, court filings
and court hearings confirm the
family’s accounts of the break-in
and how they still quietly and
privately deal with its effects.
“If you meet us now, you’d see
us as the happiest people,” says
Jazmin, the daughter who had
been forced at gunpoint into the
closet and is now 24. “You’d never
know what we’d been through or
think anything was ever wrong.”
Her father, Adalberto, is now
47. He grew up outside Guadalajara, Mexico, where he was always around tractors and trucks
and learned how to fix them. He
immigrated to the United States
when he was 14, settled in Maryland, and eventually married another Mexican native, Monica. By
2003, their young family lived in
a garden-style apartment building off Piney Branch Road in
Silver Spring. The four shared
one of the bedrooms. Adalberto’s
brother, a plumber, slept in the
other.
Adalberto got a job repairing
cars inside an Amoco station in
College Park and was trusted
enough by the owner to lock up at
night. He did so on a chilly
Wednesday evening and drove to
his apartment building, arriving
just after 6 p.m.
“Stop, I’m the police!” came a
voice from behind.
Adalberto fell for the ruse,
turned and was forced into his
apartment.
Monica had been in the kitchen, bringing dinner to their two
children. Now they were staring
at strangers pointing guns at
them.
“What’s going on!?” she asked
in Spanish.
“Shut up! Shut up!” one of the
men responded, according to police records.
They punched Adalberto in the
stomach and threw him to the
floor.
His youngest child, 4-year-old
Jazmin, ran into her bedroom,
followed by one of the intruders
who held a gun to her head and
carried her back to the living
room. She was ordered with her
brother and mom to crawl under
a rug, where from the darkness
they could hear Adalberto being
stomped and beaten.
“Where’s the money?! Where’s
the bag of money?!” the men
asked.
They tied him up and escalated
the threats and pain. The tip of a
knife dug into his fingers. Kicks,
fists, and gun handles pounded at
his body. A flame-heated knife
seared into his neck.
The intruders — detectives
would come to believe — had
followed Adalberto home from
the service station under the
mistaken belief he was the owner
and would have cash proceeds. At
least two of them, having arrived
without gloves, pulled socks out
of a dresser and put them over
their hands to guard against leaving fingerprints as they ransacked the family’s home.
Lying on the floor, as Adalberto
later told detectives, he heard one
of the men place a call over a
Nextel direct-connect phone.
“He says he doesn’t have the
money,” the man said.
“He’s lying,” the other voice
responded. “Kill his wife or his
son. He has the money!”
A short time later, Adalberto
heard footsteps out in the hall
and someone unlocking the door.
So did the intruders, who
immediately yanked Adalberto’s
brother into the apartment. They
threw him to the floor and beat,
bound and gagged him.
By then, Adalberto’s wife,
daughter and son had been

ner dressed casually, hoping to
come across as everyday people
to a family that, for all they knew,
wanted nothing to do with the
long-ago horror.
A woman in her 20s opened
the door.
Cassels introduced himself,
and showed her a report with a
victim’s name written across the
top.
“That’s my dad,” Jazmin said.
“He almost died from that.”
Monica then appeared from
within the house. Jazmin spoke
to her in Spanish.
Monica fell to her knees, started to shake and cry, and spoke to
her daughter.
“She wants you to come in,”
Jazmin told them.

children who, along with their
mother, father and uncle, were

who burst into their Maryland
apartment looking for money in
2003. Cristian, his sister and
their mother were forced into a
closet as the intruders beat and
tortured his father, Adalberto.

moved to the back closet. Monica
wrapped her arms around her
children and squeezed them.
“Proteger a mi familia,” she
whispered in prayer, “Proteger a
mi familia.”
‘Your family isn’t safe’
Only when it became clear they
wouldn’t find any service station
cash did the invaders finally
leave.
At the hospital, nurses and
doctors counted 124 separate
scrapes, cuts, burns and bruises
on Adalberto. But he had largely
withstood the attack, physically
at least, and within hours was
released.
His boss at the Amoco station
said he shouldn’t return to work
or his apartment. “You have to
go,” he said. “Your family isn’t
safe.”
They moved in with Monica’s
sister and brother in Northern
Virginia. Walking through their
new home, the children constantly wanted to stay together.
“Can you go with me to the
bedroom?” Jazmin would ask
Cristian.
The
children
marshaled
through school. Cristian joined a
scout troop.
“Thoughtful, reserved,” his
scoutmaster, Michael Todd, recalls of Cristian. “Sometimes he
was the only kid paying attention.”
Todd became close with the
family, and Adalberto eventually

confided in him. Todd was
stunned. “I would have never
guessed,” he says, “They have
been determined not to let it get
in the way of having the family
they wanted to have.”
Naturally gregarious and outgoing, Adalberto was hired as a
fleet mechanic for a construction
company. And he carried out a
daily ritual of something he never
did before the home invasion:
Telling his kids and wife he loved
them.
Rarely did Adalberto bring up
what happened — and it generally took prompting, like when they
drove to Maryland to see family
and passed the old apartment
building.
“That’s where it happened,”
he’d say.
A DNA match
In 2020, the Montgomery
County Police Department’s
crime lab started working
through DNA “profiles” collected
at crime scenes over the years
that for various reasons had
never been analyzed against law
enforcement DNA databases.
Such databases contain DNA
profiles of offenders convicted of
crimes around the country.
The hope: With updated
search requirements, and with
evermore DNA profiles in the
databases, they might get a
match.
That’s just what happened,
authorities say, in the home-

invasion case. A DNA profile obtained two decades earlier from
the inside of a sock matched a
profile of someone who had been
convicted in a different crime.
Police suddenly had a suspect:
Stacy Howard Moore, 48.
He lived in the Hyattsville area
six miles from the break-in, and
his criminal record included a
1994 incident with details that
echoed the Silver Spring home
invasion.
At the time, Moore, 22, and two
others were accused of approaching a man outside his home in
Forrestville, Md., and forcing him
at gunpoint to go inside, according to court records. Moore
pleaded guilty to attempted robbery with a deadly weapon and
was sentenced to five years in
prison — part of which he spent
seeking transfers to a facility that
offered more programs.
“All I do all day is sit in my cell
and do nothing,” Moore wrote in
a letter to a judge, according to
court records. “With the right
help anybody can change.”
After his release, Moore picked
up more arrests, including one
for illegally carrying a handgun
in what he later explained was
done to protect himself from
being shot again. “The gun just
made me feel safe,” he told a
judge.
By his late 30s, though, Moore
was staying out of trouble, according to court records and Bill
Hale, his longtime attorney. He

held a series of jobs — cook at a
retirement home and auto detailer among them — and was helping to raise his children.
“Stacy turned right,” Hale says,
“and went straight.”
A knock on the door
Police commanders assigned
the resurrected case to Cassels,
48, a former college baseball player and longtime investigator who
had been working robberies since
2014. He drove to the department’s archives building, and
pulled out two oversized case files
stuffed with yellowed papers,
floppy disks, sticky notes and
Polaroids — all telling a story of
false leads, dead ends and a case
long since gone cold.
The original investigators had
looked into Adalberto’s background and if he had reason to
keep large amounts of cash at
home, and found none — making
it clear to Cassels that Adalberto
was surveilled at the service station and mistakenly labeled as
someone who took proceeds
home.
But DNA alone couldn’t make
his case. Cassels had to find the
family to see if they would testify
— a challenge in robbery work.
Victims fear retaliation, if not
from the suspects, then from the
suspect’s family and friends.
Working from old family addresses, Cassels tracked them,
possibly, to a townhouse in
Northern Virginia. He and a part-

Opportunities seized
There was no guarantee Moore
would be convicted or that either
of his accomplices would ever be
identified, let alone charged. But
when Cassels broached the subject of new interviews and testifying in court, Jazmin spoke of a
two-decade desire for justice.
The family had long repeated a
motto among themselves: Nunca
te quedes con las ganas, which
loosely translated, means to never hold back from acting on
important opportunities.
“We definitely want to help,”
Jazmin told Cassels.
Adalberto, who wasn’t home at
the time, swelled with pride when
he learned of his daughter’s answer to the detective.
She had seized the opportunity
for all of them.
Waiting to testify
This summer, inside a sixthfloor courtroom in Rockville,
Md., prosecutors Donna Fenton
and Kimberly Cissel began their
trial. The two had earlier interviewed the five victims, coming
away stunned not just by their
vivid recall of what happened,
but the emotional scars left
behind.
“They were terrorized and tortured within their own home,”
Fenton told jurors during opening statements.
Hale urged jurors to keep an
open mind.
“A lot of times on TV, you say,
‘Well Geez, it’s DNA, the guy must
be guilty,’ ” he said. “That’s not
really true in real life. A lot of
things go into DNA analysis and
how the specimen was collected
and how it has been stored,
where it’s been for the last 20
years.”
About 50 feet away, in a lobby
outside, the five victims waited to
testify. Cristian, who had earned
an automotive engineering degree, sat next to his wife and
infant child. He and Jazmin, who
was wrapping up a degree in
international studies, knew that
whatever courtroom win might
be ahead, it would be limited. No
additional DNA had surfaced.
Even if Moore would somehow
reveal the names of possible accomplices — which so far he
hadn’t — convicting someone
based merely on the testimony of
an accomplice is very difficult.
Adalberto was called first to
the witness stand. He glanced
over at Moore: Now 50, bald and a
hulking 300 pounds. To Adalberto, who’d always remembered his
large, dark eyes, he looked sad.
Adalberto
walked
jurors
through what happened and
pointed to the scar left behind by
the hot knife. “I could not feel the
pain because I was so afraid that
my adrenaline was high,” he testified. “But I could smell it, the
burning.”
He described a final threat
issued by the men, when they told
him to stand up and say goodbye
to his wife. Instead, he prayed.
“I said, ‘God, if today is my day,
go ahead,’ ” Adalberto testified.
Circuit Judge Christopher
Fogleman soon called for a lunch
break. The jurors filed out.
Then Moore turned to Hale. He
quietly said he wanted to stop the
trial and plead guilty. “What can
you do?” Hale recalled Moore
asking.
By 2:30 p.m., the terms were
settled.
Moore pleaded guilty to five
counts, including felony assault
and false imprisonment. Three
months later, while sentencing
him to 18 years in prison,
Fogleman acknowledged strides
Moore had made to improve his
life. But the judge described his
crimes as completely terrifying
and cited a letter written to him
by Jazmin.
Through years of counseling,
she had learned how much memories from that night shaped her:
The distrust of strangers, the
anxiety, the post-traumatic stress
disorder. She’d explained efforts
to shield off her past while celebrating her present.
“Many kids my age can look
back at your childhood and recall
happy days,” she had written.
“I’ve learned to block mine off,
and to live everyday as if it’s the
last.”

J. Edgar Hoover, In Full

O

n Oct. 7, 1964, President Lyndon
Johnson’s longtime aide Walter
Jenkins walked into the YMCA
near the White House after a party
at the Newsweek magazine office
and had sex in the bathroom with a homeless
Army veteran. The vice squad arrested Jenkins, booked him and released him. A week
later, the story made headlines on the eve of
the presidential election that pitted Johnson
against Republican Barry Goldwater. By
then, a near-suicidal Jenkins had checked
into George Washington University Hospital
and the Republicans were “punching hard,”
writes Beverly Gage in “G-Man,” her masterful account of the life and controversial
career of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. The
Goldwater campaign demanded to know if
Jenkins’s conduct had compromised national
security. Forced to act, Johnson ordered
Hoover, his old friend and onetime neighbor,
to investigate the scandal. Hoover was an-

noyed. This was politics, and for decades he
had tried to insulate the FBI from partisan
politics. But he did what he was told to do by
his president.
It turned out that Jenkins, the father of six
children, had been arrested in the same
bathroom five years earlier. Johnson was
astonished that Jenkins could have hidden
his proclivities. Hoover was not. He thought
such temptations were commonplace. Four
days into the investigation he told Johnson
that Jenkins had been under enormous stress

and required medical attention. The FBI
chief had already sent a bouquet of flowers to
Jenkins’s hospital room. Attached was a
sympathy card wishing him a speedy recovery. “With less than two weeks to go before
the election,” Gage writes, “Hoover issued a
report absolving Jenkins of any national
security violations,” and on Election Day,
Johnson rolled to victory in one of the
nation’s biggest presidential landslides.
In Gage’s biography, Hoover emerges as a
strangely tortured man who wielded power
within the Justice Department for an astonishing 48 years. His response to Jenkins
revealed a softer side and, Gage explains,
raised an “innuendo that Hoover might have
more in common with Jenkins than he
wished to acknowledge.” In a memo, Hoover
wrote that he liked Jenkins and felt sorry for
him. “It is a pitiful case,” he observed, “and I
think it is time for people to follow the

franchise.

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

billionaire John Milton Bradley Sill, a

lame Charles Dickens for the Christmas
nightmare, which took root after
Ebenezer Scrooge’s Victorian debut and
has persisted across decades and mediums,
from Tim Burton’s 1993 animated film “The
Nightmare Before Christmas” to Michael
Knight’s “The Holiday Season,” published in
the aughts. As artists and writers know all too
well, there’s no place like home for the
holidays, with tensions simmering beneath
the tinseled surface of foil-wrapped presents
and forced cheer.
Lynn Steger Strong’s slender but affecting
new novel, “Flight,” ventures into this familiar terrain with a deft touch and an intuitive
grasp of her characters. There’s an easy
rhythm here: She’s in no rush as she roves
among her cast, who gather in a rambling
house in Upstate New York. Henry, the host,
and Alice, his wife, have resigned themselves to childlessness in the aftermath of
five miscarriages, devoting themselves to
their nieces and nephews. Their artistic
careers have stagnated, though, prompting
different responses: He withdraws into his
studio, preoccupied with climate change
and seemingly incapable of earning a decent
wage, while Alice has shifted to social work.
She smokes to handle her stress.
By contrast, Henry’s brother, Martin, and
sister-in-law, Tess, are the quintessential Manhattan power couple — a college professor and

game maker. (No, I don’t know why. Such
flecks of cerebral silliness are one of
Everett’s charms.) Sitting in a coffee shop,
Wala realizes immediately that Sill is
“certifiable, but jolly.” His backstory is
steeped in racial violence: His father was
murdered — collateral damage in the
government’s plot to assassinate Martin
Luther King Jr. And Sill’s mother, a
preschool teacher turned madam, was
shot 12 times by a White policeman
serving her for unpaid parking tickets.
With a passion ignited by rage and
grief, Sill has dedicated his life to
becoming “a cultural disease, an enemy of
the system.” He tells Wala, “I want to be a
Bond villain … the sort of perpetrator of
evil deeds that might cause the prime
minister to dispatch a double-naught spy
to thwart me.”
To prosecute his evil schemes, Sill
needs Wala’s help. Inspired by
“Goldfinger,” he wants to break into Fort
Knox and steal a top-secret box of
nothing. “How much power must there be
for anyone who can possess nothing,” Sill
says. He gives Wala $3 million to serve as
his special consultant. “All you have to do
is advise me. . . . I want your pure honest
confusion.”
It’s an offer Wala can’t refuse, but he
knows how dangerous this kook could be.
“Nothingness is not emptiness any more
than it is the absence of something, some
thing, some things or substance,” he
explains, bafflingly. “The actual Big Bang

a “too thin,” aloof lawyer — with a specialneeds son and a cherubic daughter. But they
are grappling with their own quandary: Martin is under investigation for a rude comment
about a female student. Kate, Henry’s and
Martin’s sister, lacks her brothers’ charisma
but has forged a solid marriage with Josh,
juggling discontents with the care of a daughter and twin sons, one of whom bites other
kids and has thus placed them beneath a
clinical microscope.
The catalyst for this Yuletide-in-hell is
the matriarch, Helen, whose recent death
haunts them all as surely as Marley’s ghost
stalked Scrooge. In an annual custom, the
siblings and their spouses had spent Christmas with Helen in their childhood home in
Florida; but a stroke stole her away in the
spring. Her absence is the core of “Flight.”
They can’t call her obsessively (Strong
makes hay of this detail), so they don’t know
how to conduct their lives. The author
recounts each character’s connection to
Helen, their rivalries for her attention,
folding planes of backstory into beautiful
origami.
Strong is an exacting observer of families
and their idiosyncrasies, in the mode of
Anne Tyler and Jonathan Franzen. She nails
the ennui of middle age: Josh has depleted
his trust fund; Tess, despite her lawyerly
mien, struggles with self-loathing; Kate
views herself as dumpy, an afterthought to
her older, handsome brothers. There’s a
slightness to the plot — “Flight” occasionally feels padded out, with gratuitous, tackedon scenes — but Strong milks the high
moments, such as a quarrel that erupts
during a game of cards.
The apple of discord is Helen’s house, now
rented, set on an acre abutting a state nature
reserve. Helen died suddenly, with no will, no

is coming, as what the universe came
from is catching up to what it will
become. To experience the power of
nothing would be to understand
everything; to harness the power of
nothing would be to negate all that is.”
It’s only a coincidence in the quantum
mechanics of literary fiction, but there’s
some spooky action going on between
“Dr. No” and two new novels from
Cormac McCarthy: “The Passenger” and
“Stella Maris.” Energized by the “endless
nothing,” McCarthy’s books compress a
great number of scientists’ names and
esoteric terms under intense heat in
hopes of creating a fusion reaction that
will release tremendous profundity.
Everett is no less sophisticated or grim,
but the vibe of “Dr. No” is a lot less
Werner Heisenberg and a lot more Pussy
Galore. (When a sexy mathematician
climaxes in Sill’s embrace, she screams,
“Assume x is a Kähler manifold.”)
Most of “Dr. No” is a goofy anti-thriller
that revolves around Sill’s evil schemes
and Wala’s halting efforts to thwart them.
Yes, there are gorgeous robots, a
devastating space laser, a pool of maneating sharks under the dining room and
lots of diabolical chuckling. But needless
to say, Wala is no Sean Connery. He

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

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

HOOVER FROM B1

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

ist I.F. Stone conceded that he used his
power to face down Joe McCarthy. Hoover
thought of Richard Nixon as a personal
friend and political soul mate, but he hated
John Birchers and Second Amendment
absolutists.
Hoover was complicated — and never
more so than in his personal life. Gage is
brilliant in showing us who the man was
without using any labels. He was a dedicated
“bachelor” who had no use for women.
Drawing on “an extraordinary cache of
letters,” Gage shows Hoover “by turns funny,
tender, solicitous, and flirtatious” in his
correspondence with a young FBI agent,
Melvin Purvis. By the mid-1930s, he had
transferred his affections to Clyde Tolson,
who became Hoover’s associate director.
“Where Hoover went, Tolson went too,”
writes Gage. “Not only to the office, but to the
nightclub and the racetrack, on vacations
and out for weeknight dinners, to family
events and White House receptions. They
were in essence a couple.” Gage does not
pretend to be in their bedroom, but by the
end of his life, when Hoover became the
nursemaid to an ailing Tolson, there was no
doubt of the enduring love between these two
men. The biographer has succeeded in humanizing the public image of the coldhearted
secret police chief.
And yet, the biographer is also relentless
in her judgments. She has to be. After all,
Hoover did many deplorable things. On Jan.
6, 1964, FBI agents installed a wiretap in a
room occupied by Martin Luther King Jr. at
Washington’s Willard Hotel. They were
searching for evidence against the “clerical
fraud and Marxist,” as the FBI’s domestic
intelligence chief, William Sullivan, put it in
a memo. And they apparently got it. Gage
does not have the tapes; those are under
court-ordered seal until 2027. But she quotes
from a written summary of the recordings,
first obtained by the historian David Gar-

row. A sex orgy is described, involving King
and a dozen other people. A Baptist minister
is reportedly heard raping a woman. Gage
reports that Hoover predicted that the
Willard tapes would “destroy” King and
used a racial epithet that, she observes, says
“far more about Hoover’s own moral failings
than about King’s.”
Hoover undertook the wiretapping with
the full knowledge of the White House; both
Johnson and Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy had authorized the electronic surveillance. On Jan. 14, 1964, Hoover sent a
veteran agent, Cartha “Deke” DeLoach, to
brief the White House. Johnson’s aide, Jenkins, read the FBI memo on the Willard tapes
“word for word” and described King’s behavior as “repulsive.” Jenkins suggested that the
news should be leaked to the press — but not
before LBJ passed his landmark civil rights
bill. Hoover, of course, obliged, and later that
year he told a roomful of reporters, “I
consider King to be the most notorious liar in
the country.”
“G-Man” is a very sad story. Hoover’s
highest ideal was the nonpartisan public
servant, dedicated to burnishing the notion
that the federal government was a force for
good. And yet by the ’60s, Gage shows,
Hoover’s reactionary instincts prevailed,
and his actions helped to sow distrust of the
federal government from both the right and
the left. In the end, he was a “confused,
sometimes lonely man.” Gage concludes,
“We cannot know our own story without
understanding his, in all its high aspiration
and terrible cruelty, and in its many human
contradictions.”
This book is an enduring, formidable
accomplishment, a monument to the power
of biography.

n five new thrillers, outsiders come out of
the woodwork: They peer behind the
doors of a locked mansion, menace a
corrupt police department, and threaten a
small town, a Tokyo corporation and a
powerful family. These outsiders are all
damaged, which makes them formidable. As
Josephine Hart wrote: “Damaged people are
dangerous. They know they can survive.”
“Lavender House” by Lev AC Rosen
(Forge) is a new take on a Golden Age crime
novel. Its 1950s setting is richly cinematic,
with gin martinis, bananas foster and a
fantastic mid-century soundtrack. Lavender
House is a grand estate outside San
Francisco where the family and staff are
queer; their home is the one place where
they can live freely and openly. After their
matriarch is killed, her widow hires a
private investigator to determine who
among them is a murderer. Everything
about the crime — the perpetrator, the
victim, the motive — has a deeper meaning.
After all, as one character says, “Everything
we do is criminalized.”
“You’re on the wrong side, sister,” a young
man tells Detective Inaya Rahman after a
clash with the police, in Ausma Zehanat
Khan’s “Blackwater Falls.” Inaya is

harassed by her fellow police officers and
distrusted by much of her town. But she
wants to change the police from the inside
and to find justice for Razan Elkader, a
young Syrian refugee who was murdered,
her body arranged like a crucifixion. Khan
expands this police procedural to encompass
war, border crossings, domestic terrorism
and resistance. In a violent, divided town,
Inaya is our moral center, with an unstinting
gaze. “Blackwater Falls” is a tense and
propulsive read from the start all the way
through to its surprising, piercingly sad final
chapter.
In Wanda M. Morris’s “Anywhere You
Run,” two sisters are in jeopardy as they flee
their hometown in the Jim Crow-era South:
One has killed the man who attacked her,

the other is single and pregnant. Separately,
both sisters journey away from Mississippi,
relying on their strength and intelligence to
outmaneuver brutal police officers and
bigoted White business executives,
“monsters draped in seersucker suits and
straw fedoras.” As the sisters try to outrun
their pasts, the fast-paced narrative makes
for heart-in-your-throat reading; the reasons
they must flee feel, unfortunately, all too
current.
A sprawling, absorbing saga, “Lady Joker
Volume Two” examines a vast web of
characters affected by a kidnapping and
sabotage case in Tokyo. The action moves
fluidly from news desks to corporate offices,
as the police and press track a shadowy
crime group calling itself Lady Joker.

Yuichiro Goda, a police officer posing as a
bodyguard, is an outsider in a realm of
salarymen. A companion tells him to polish
his shoes, to better fit in: “Look at the shoes
of the bigwigs at those corporations. The
gleam could blind you, you know what I
mean? That shows the fortress around their
hearts.” Kaoru Takamura is a lauded crime
writer in Japan, and “Lady Joker,” translated
by Marie Iida and Allison Markin Powell,
shows us why.
In Catherine Steadman’s latest thriller,
“The Family Game,” a woman engaged to
the eldest son of a rich, powerful dynasty
receives a tape from the family patriarch
describing a series of crimes. Is the tape a
confession, a test or a game? Over
Thanksgiving, Krampusnacht and
Christmas, Harriet Reed is drawn into a
game of cat-and-mouse with the Holbeck
family. Steadman, an actress who appeared
on “Downton Abbey,” constructs the family’s
glamorous world with wit and a knowing
eye. “The Family Game” is both sharply
modern and timeless, with strains of King
Lear, Dickens and P.D. James’s postwar
holiday chillers.

environment. That it has
Dirda
come to be seen as a genre
worthy of respect — indeed as
a major current in the mainstream of
modern fiction — can be attributed to
several causes, and one of them is 1979’s
“The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction,”
edited and largely written by Peter Nicholls
and John Clute.
The Australian Nicholls and the Canadian
Clute, both then living in London, were first
and foremost serious critics who applied
their incisive intelligence, wide and deep
reading in all branches of literature, and
scrupulous bibliographical scholarship to
the elucidation of a then-oft-despised genre.
The encyclopedia — later expanded in its
1993 second edition and now continuously
updated and freely available online —
energized a slow-moving paradigm shift:
Henceforth, science fiction could no longer
be regarded as simply kids’ stuff.
Today, Clute remains the benevolent
godfather of sf criticism, but Nicholls
essentially stopped writing after being
diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2000.
He died in 2018 at age 78 at his home in
Melbourne. This year, however, David
Langford has assembled much of his friend’s
literary journalism — some of it written
originally for The Washington Post Book
World during the 1980s — in “Genre
Fiction: The Roaring Years” (Ansible
Editions). It makes for irresistible reading

and a reminder of the sheer zest that
Nicholls brought to everything he wrote.
From the get-go, this onetime academic
insisted that sf was a branch of literature,
repeatedly emphasizing that “there is no
single point between realistic fiction and
science fiction where we can confidently
draw a boundary line.” In a long piece
devoted to the genre’s forerunners, he boldly
includes “Gilgamesh,” Plato’s “Republic,”
Dante’s “Commedia,” Shakespeare’s “The
Tempest” and even Melville’s “Moby Dick.”
In these canonical classics, Nicholls
underscores a reliance on techniques and
motifs later central to modern science
fiction, such as the defamiliarizing of the
familiar, the creation of a sense of wonder,
and a preoccupation with theological and
philosophical speculation, as well as their
use of such tropes as the marvelous voyage,
utopias and dystopias, and encounters with
the alien. Of “Beowulf,” he notes: “The story
of the hero discovering his own capacity for
kingship after a series of arduous tests . . .
returns new-minted many times every year.
It is, for instance, Robert Heinlein’s basic
plot, and he has used it at least a dozen
times.”
Nicholls’s literary journalism is often
hilarious, with Hunter S. Thompson-like
reports about drunken weekends at science

Reminders that
a bookish life
can be so fulfilling
fiction conventions, but it also features
meticulous analyses of Ursula K. Le Guin’s
“The Farthest Shore” and Gene Wolfe’s “The
Urth of the New Sun.” Befitting an admirer
of the ultraserious F.R. Leavis, he holds the
genre to high standards. At an exhibition of
science fiction art, Nicholls observes
“serried ranks of fantasy pictures, nearly
unbelievably imaginative in exactly the
same kitschy way as each other.” Criticizing
Larry Niven’s “Ringworld,” he rightly insists
that “if a technical concept is not given
meaning in a human context it simply does
not matter.” Literature, after all, is about
why it matters to be alive.
As editor of the journal Foundation in the
1970s, Nicholls recalls that he encouraged
“analytical reviewing that goes beyond
synopsis to make critical judgments and
give readings of subtexts.” However, he does
take an affectionate swipe at his friend John
Clute, “perhaps our finest reviewer,” who
“writes so vividly of subtext that he
occasionally forgets, as he inhales the
electrifying pure oxygen of his inbuilt
aqualung, that there is an ordinary text up
there on the surface, a position he visits only
occasionally with a magisterial gruffle and
spout before he sounds again into our sf
deeps.”
That cetaceous simile deliberately mirrors
Clute’s own baroque style and might also be
the best description of his critical persona
that anyone has ever given. As evidence,
consider “Sticking to the End” (Beccon),
the seventh and most recent collection of

Clute’s reviews and essays. Throughout, the
syntax is punchy and slangy, while the
diction often grows brazenly recondite. To
paraphrase a line from “Jaws”: When you
start reading Clute, you’re going to need a
bigger dictionary. In just one review I had to
look up the words “aliquot,” “sophont” and
“prelusive.” That said, some of the critical
terms he draws on, such as “Godgame,”
“Mysterious Stranger” and “Slingshot
Ending,” have passed into wide use and are
crisply defined in the “Encyclopedia of
Science Fiction,” where, it should also be
noted, his entries — hundreds, perhaps
thousands of them — are not only
authoritative but plainly written.
Above all, “Sticking to the End”
demonstrates that Clute, after more than
half a century in the salt mines, continues to
approach new works of science fiction with
the zeal of a 20-year-old, albeit one who can
draw on an unrivaled familiarity with the
field’s entire history. Begin, for example, his
essay on David Mitchell — or those on
Jonathan Lethem and Nalo Hopkinson —
and you may initially feel gobsmacked or
slow-witted, but if you pay attention you will
be rewarded by seeing more deeply into the
work under review than you thought
possible. Clute’s analytic flair is no less
impressive in the second half of his book,
where he comments on dozens of films from
“The Bride of Frankenstein” to “Wonder
Woman.” Among science fiction critics,
there’s nobody more respected or admired.
Let me briefly mention two additional

collections of essays. I won’t say a lot about
R.B. Russell’s “Fifty Forgotten Books” (And
Other Stories) because I liked it so much I
contributed a blurb to its back cover. But
when this novelist, short-story writer and
publisher (of Tartarus Press) discusses
Roland Topor’s “The Tenant,” Denton Welch’s
“In Youth Is Pleasure,” Pamela Hansford
Johnson’s “The Unspeakable Skipton” or
Rachel Ferguson’s “The Brontës Went to
Woolworth’s,” he recalls where each title was
bought and what it meant to him at the time
and what he thinks of it now. As a result,
these engaging, personal essays form a
partial autobiography, reminding us that a
bookish life can be an enviably fulfilling one.
That’s certainly a sentiment G. Thomas
Tanselle would agree with. As our leading
authority on all aspects of bibliography and
textual criticism, he often writes highly
specialized articles, but that’s not true in the
case of “Books in My Life” (Bibliographical
Society of the University of Virginia). Its
centerpiece is “The Living Room: A
Memoir,” in which the novels, scholarly
nonfiction and journals in Tanselle’s
Manhattan apartment, as well as various
decorative objects, elicit memories of a
happy childhood in Indiana, years as a
teacher at the University of Wisconsin at
Madison, his long tenure as vice president of
the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial
Foundation and, above all, the many friends
he has made during his career as a “scholarcollector.” Much of his library, he tells us, is
kept in handsome, glass-faced barrister
bookcases, totaling more than 100 stackable
shelf units. May I express my quite serious
envy?
Two of this volume’s other essays closely
consider the value of association copies —
that is, copies with a noteworthy
provenance — and the principles that guide
a bibliographer. Perhaps the most
exhilarating article, however, argues for the
vital importance of “non-firsts” in the study
of any book’s history and influence. Because
first editions are so prized, not to say
fetishized, few dealers bother to catalogue
or even note a publisher’s subsequent
reprintings of a popular title. As Tanselle
recalls, “When I once purchased a copy of
the twenty-first printing of ‘Main Street’
from a Chicago dealer (having checked my
list to see that I did not own it), he
remarked that I was probably the only
person who would have bought it because it
was the twenty-first printing.”
As excellent as they are, none of the four
books noted here are likely to go into a 21st
printing. Still, that only means their lucky
readers will just need to be content, as they
doubtless will be, with a nice, crisp first
edition.

A personal portrait of a troublingly beautiful landscape
BY

A

C OURTNEY T ENZ

t the very tip of the North Jutland
Peninsula, a windswept sandbar narrows into the shape of an arrow before
fading into the sea. Known locally as Grenen,
a Danish word meaning “the branch,” the
beach there provides a perspective unlike any
other in the world. It is the place where the
North Sea meets the Baltic Sea in an
extraordinary, often violent embrace.
In those waters, boats glide through one of
the world’s busiest shipping lanes. Across the
straits, to the east, the lights of Gothenburg,
Sweden, twinkle; Oslo’s harbor lies to the
north; to the west, the Norwegian fjords rise
out of the horizon. The seas form a sort of
Scandinavian triangulation, at once connecting and separating the countries.
The peninsula is not only Denmark’s
terminus but also the ultimate stop on a
reflective journey that writer and translator Dorthe Nors undertook while writing
her first memoir, “A Line in the World: A
Year on the North Sea Coast.” A finalist for
the Man Booker International Prize for her
works of fiction, Nors is one of Denmark’s
best-known living writers. For this more
personal endeavor, deftly translated by
Caroline Waight, Nors turned to the landscape she grew up in, a place where she
feels both connected and separate, where
she can be as moody and expansive as the
sea itself.
The resulting travelogue captures a side
to Denmark that few will find familiar —
the literal and figurative opposite of the
country’s cosmopolitan capital, Copenhagen. In the Copenhagen captured by 18thcentury painters, Nors writes, the “nation’s
true nature” could be found: “a Hans
Christian Andersen fairy tale, a Biedermeier idyll, bare of squalls, wilderness and
drifting sands.” The city’s contemporary
postcard-perfect image has become a more
urbanized version of those paintings, the
bicycle thoroughfares and rows of colorful
harborfront houses a contrast to the western coast’s sand dunes and ocean views and
acres of farmland filled with the sounds of
gulls.
Yet it is in Copenhagen — a place where,
she notes, time is laborious — that the story
begins. Nors determines that the life she’d
been drawn to in the city no longer held its
charms; she trades in a fast-paced existence
in an apartment above a hash dealer, with a
view overlooking a hair salon, and returns to
the quieter, more picturesque Jutland of her
youth. As she explores seaside villages that
appear both recognizable and foreign, longforgotten memories from her childhood
summers spent near the coast arise, as do the
suspicions of some of the locals. “I don’t
belong here,” she writes, her discomfort at

the villagers’ reception of her (or lack
thereof ) palpable. “But I have roots here.”
Those roots are visible in the anecdotes
Nors sprinkles throughout the memoir, with
each of its 14 essays devoted to a different
section of the unforgiving North Sea coast.
Acknowledging that memory is a “tenacious
ghost,” Nors relates snippets from her youth
— the way she watched a man catch fire at a
Midsummer festival; the time her mother
disappeared for a week to learn art in a
private studio; her father’s startled reaction
to watching on television as the Skarre Cliff
disappeared into the ocean during a storm in
1978.
She intertwines her stories with the
history of the region, retelling the tales of
the Vikings who once traversed the North
Sea and whose shipwrecks are still being
uncovered in the deep. Later, along the Iron
Coast, she writes about boats run aground
or tossed by tall waves into the shore. “Mass
graves up and down the whole coast,” Nors
writes with a whiff of foreboding. In a
similar spirit, she studies the bunkers and
fortifications that once made up the Nazis’
planned Atlantic Wall, contemplating the
remnants of their doomed attempt to
protect the entirety of the western European coastline from perceived military
threats. Though the project succumbed to
the elements and geopolitics, the Germans’
endeavor scarred the landscape and left the
shoreline dotted with land mines for
decades — buried traces of fascist hubris.
Though these memorable historical tidbits are among the most visceral details in
her work, “A Line in the World” is as much
an appraisal of this troublingly beautiful
landscape as it is an exploration of Nors’s
identity. In her attempt to understand the
shapeshifting Danish peninsula, combing
over the history, traditions and myths of
the region, she is making sense of this
world and her place within it. Returning
home with a renewed desire to leave forces
that confrontation between childhood
dreams and adult realities for Nors, who
ultimately describes herself as “a movement pinned in one place.”
In that sense, this is no tourist’s guide to
Denmark’s relatively barren coastline. Instead of dwelling on overfamiliar marketing
concepts like hygge or references to Nobu, as
writers fresh to Denmark often do, Nors
reflects on the vital specificity of a place not
often frequented by visitors, as well as its
impact on the psyche.
Capturing how the locals simply live, she
details, for example, the legend behind the
porcelain dogs she sees dotting the windows
in one fishing village. After a woman went
missing years ago, residents burst into her
apartment to find she had left behind a
robust collection of porcelain dogs. Thinking

that she may have wandered into the waves
and vanished, villagers now place a pair
facing outward to signify when a fisherman is
out to sea; turned inward, they are a symbol
that he has returned safely home.
Such details provide rare insight into a
region where daily life is often spent in
monotonous solitude and where tourists and
new residents alike can find it difficult to
break through the tough facades; where the
slower tempo of life is driven by the sea and
its moods, the rhythms tethered to a predictable yet finicky tide. Indeed, it seems that
here the tide determines not only when boats
can sail but also everything else: Births peak
when the water rolls in, deaths register as it
recedes. Yet the “fierce forces at play,” Nors
reminds us in story after story, can toss away
centuries-old constructs, sinking entire cities
or swallowing churches and homes in blowing sand.
Just as the sands literally shift and the
coastline changes from “painfully flat” to
“incomprehensibly epic,” so, too, does Nors’s

response to the region. There are days,
midwinter, when daylight never seems to
break. Increasingly aware of the way her
mood is affected by the landscape, Nors
excavates the feeling of disquiet that arises
within her through a consideration of her
personal narrative. “You’ve got to be careful
with the stories you tell other people,” she
writes. “And you’ve got to be careful what
stories you tell yourself.”
It is in these terms that the book can be
read as a memoir, scarce as revelatory details
about the author may be. But “A Line in the
World” is, more pointedly, one of the first
books to capture the unique region in
English. In prose that is as sparse and quiet
as the marshy Jutland Peninsula itself, the
book provides a snapshot of life in a location
that is full of history and at the same time
ever-shifting, its future uncertain.

Ovid wrote
about rape.
Let’s not
gloss over it.

ISTOCK

S

BY

S TEPHANIE M C C ARTER

tories of rape are uncomfortably prominent in the literary canon, and no
canonical work includes more such
tales than Ovid’s “Metamorphoses.”
Apollo, pierced by Cupid’s arrow, pursues the nymph Daphne, who becomes a tree to
escape him. Jupiter, king of the gods, violently
assaults Io, whom he then turns into a cow. The
nymph Callisto endures sexual violence at the
hands of Jupiter, then physical violence at the
hands of Juno, his queen, who turns her into a
bear. Nearly 50 acts of rape or attempted rape
appear in the epic, and many of these in turn
have inspired significant works of art and
literature, such as Bernini’s “Apollo and Daphne,” Titian’s “The Rape of Europa” and Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus.”
Familiar as they often are, these stories
present a challenge to translators: How should
one render in English acts that are often grotesquely violent in Ovid’s original Latin? For
decades, many have simply sidestepped the
issue, obscuring violations with romantic euphemisms or even suggesting, through subtle
turns of phrase, that the women in Ovid’s tales
consented to assault. As a classicist, one of my
principal goals as I set out to prepare my own
new translation of Ovid’s epic poem was the
clear and accurate rendering of these scenes of
rape. It was, I thought, critical to treat sexual
violence in the “Metamorphoses” as frankly as
Ovid himself does.
These issues were central for me in part
because I regularly teach the “Metamorphoses,” and the presence of sexual violence in it
has made its place in classrooms fraught. In
2015, an op-ed penned by undergraduates at
Columbia University went viral for its criticism
of a professor who focused on “the beauty of the
language and the splendor of the imagery” in
the epic without adequately addressing the
presence of rape. The piece launched a sprawling debate about “trigger warnings” that led to
a string of think-pieces, some of which were
sympathetic to the students’ concerns and
some of which denigrated the undergrads as
“snowflakes” who could not handle the difficult
aspects of great literature.
It seemed to me that there was a fundamental misunderstanding at the heart of this debate. The Columbia students were not trying to
censor material involving rape — they were
simply asking that such violence be framed and
scrutinized as violence. It was the unconsidered aestheticization that troubled them — the

implicit premise that this was an unimpeachable work of beauty that could only elevate
without ever doing harm. And this is true
beyond Columbia. The idea that overly sensitive students are seeking en masse to censor
such material runs counter to my two decades
teaching in college classrooms. I have never
had a student object to the frank discussion of
rape in the text. If anything, contemporary
students are much more prepared to discuss
this difficult aspect of literature than many
from my own generation. What they are not
prepared to do is accept it uncritically.
Readers need editions of the epic that will
facilitate such analysis. Notably, the translator’s role in communicating rape went unexamined in the larger trigger-warning debate
that followed the Columbia op-ed, despite the
fact that most of those who read Ovid’s text do
so in translation. It was David Raeburn’s early21st-century English, not Ovid’s Latin, that the
Columbia students were reading. Translations
that euphemize rape risk giving readers the
impression that Ovid was unambiguously flippant about sexual violence when in fact he
underscores the psychological and physical
trauma it produces.
In the case of Apollo and Daphne, one of the
tales cited by the Columbia students, Raeburn
adds details that are simply not present in
Ovid’s Latin and that amplify the power of the
male gaze. When Apollo runs his eyes over
Daphne’s body, for instance, Ovid tells us simply that he looks at her “lips” and “fingers” and
“arms,” yet Raeburn goes further. In his rendering, Daphne’s lips are “teasingly tempting,” her
fingers “delicate” and her arms “shapely.” When
the hard bark runs up Daphne’s soft torso,
“mollia praecordia,” Raeburn has it surround
her “soft white bosom.” The accumulation of
these alterations distorts Ovid’s presentation
of Daphne’s body, drawing readers into the role
of voyeur and making it seem like the narrator
revels in her objectification in ways the Latin
does not justify. In Raeburn, it is as if her body
simply invites Apollo’s assault.
In translating Ovid’s scenes of rape, I took
care to use English words that reflect his own
language of violence, which ties rape to the
epic’s larger theme of abusive power. The most
common Latin word Ovid uses for rape is “vis,”
or “force.” This was indeed a legal term for rape
in Rome, although it was also applied to other
violent acts, such as armed insurrection or
wielding weapons within the city’s bounds —
acts that undermined the Roman citizen’s expectation of safety and bodily autonomy. The

does.

punishments for rape by “vis” ranged from
personal retaliation to loss of citizenship and
even death. If we judge the epic’s rapes by the
standards of the Romans, they are appalling
crimes.
When “vis” appears in the epic, whether in
the context of rape or not, I consistently use the
word “force” to enable readers to connect various types of violence. Ovid frequently pairs the
word “vis” with the word “pati,” “to suffer,”
which can denote being the penetrated partner
in a sexual act. The phrase “vim pati” (“to suffer
force”) becomes in Ovid an almost technical
term for rape, as in Apollo’s rape of Dryope,
which I translate, with Ovid’s own directness,
as she “had suffered / a forceful rape.” In Ovid, a
perpetrator may also “exert force” against another, as when he uses the phrase “vim tulit” to
describe the river god Cephisus’s rape of Liriope or when Leucothoe accuses the sun god of
raping her. Although translators do occasionally use the word “rape,” they are highly inconsistent, more often watering down Ovid’s language of force, with “vis” becoming “ardent
wooing” or “advances” or simply disappearing
altogether. In Stanley Lombardo (2010), for
instance, Dryope “lost her virginity” to Apollo.
In Allen Mandelbaum (1993), Cephisus “had
his way” with Liriope. And in Horace Gregory
(1958), Leucothoe says the sun god “dazzled”
her.
Sometimes it’s necessary to deviate slightly
from strict fidelity to Ovid’s exact verbiage to
capture what the poet’s words would have
meant to his original audience. Ovid’s other
main Latin term for denoting sexual violence is
“rapio,” from which the English “rape” is derived. Although the primary meaning of “rapio” is “snatch” or “steal,” Ovid uses it repeatedly
in tales of sexual assault. The girl Mestra, for
instance, identifies the god Neptune as her
rapist by saying that he possesses the “raptae
praemia virginitatis” — “the prize of her stolen
virginity.” In such passages, I simply use the
word “rape.” In my translation, Mestra says,
“You who raped me — stole my prized virginity.”
The most accurate translation is not always the
most literal.
Jupiter’s rape of Io similarly calls for accuracy over literalness. Ovid here uses just two
words to narrate the rape: “rapuit pudorem,”
literally “he stole her chastity,” which I translate as he “raped her, chaste no more.” Translating this phrase too literally into English blunts
its violence, making it sound old-fashioned or
euphemistic when Ovid’s language is neither.
Procne later uses a similar phrase when she

threatens to castrate Tereus, her sister’s rapist,
by slicing off the organ that “stole” her sister’s
“chastity.” The violence of such theft is matched
by the violence of her threat.
Translators have, of course, found ways to
obscure and dilute such language. In Charles
Martin’s 2004 translation, for instance, Jupiter
simply “dishonored” Io, an act that leaves the
specific crime unclear. Going beyond euphemism, Gregory rewrites the scene as consensual in his translation. Rather than “steal Io’s
chastity,” his Jupiter “overcame her scruples,” a
phrase suggesting seduction rather than rape.
In his 1986 version, A.D. Melville uses the
euphemizing “ravish,” a word that translators
repeatedly employ in Ovid’s rape scenes. As the
Oxford English Dictionary explains, this is now
an archaic term for rape that more commonly
implies “ecstatic delight” or “sensuous pleasure.” It appears frequently in the titles of
romance novels.
Even the most horrific stories of “vis” have
been euphemized in translation. In one especially brutal episode, both Apollo and Mercury
rape a 14-year-old girl named Chione. Mercury
makes her fall asleep with his wand, then rapes
her. In my translation: “Unconscious from its
mighty touch, she suffers / the god’s forced
rape.” Other translators obscure the rape or
give Chione agency she lacks. In Mandelbaum’s
version, she “submits / in deep sleep, to his
godly violence.” It is unclear how Chione can
“submit” to violence in her sleep. Rolfe
Humphries’s 1955 translation reframes Mercury’s “vis” as “power”: “Under his touch she
lay, and felt his power.” The girl here seems
awed into submission rather than bent to
Mercury’s will by force.
If we want readers to consider the brutality
present in great literature, we must give them
the tools to do so. And with a writer like Ovid, a
well-translated text is the first of those tools.
Ovid is arguably the canonical poet of sexual
violence, and as such he offers a rich space for
considering how we think, speak and write
about such trauma. We need to use and normalize the words “rape” and “force.” When translators refuse to back down from such language,
they can treat sexual violence as violence,
allowing readers to speak its name, scrutinize
it, ponder how it works and recognize how it
continues to transform too many of us.

He chooses the quotes the world will remember — or forget

f you’ve ever tried to find a good quotation,
you know what a frustrating hall of mirrors
the internet can be. Clever quips appear
everywhere, but they’re often unreliable and
almost always missing source information.
“The internet is a minefield of danger in
tracking down quotes,” Geoffrey O’Brien tells
me. “There’s just so much bad information out
there.”
O’Brien knows this problem better than
anyone else on Earth. He’s the general editor
of the new edition of “Bartlett’s Familiar
Quotations.”
“There’s a long list of people to whom are
attributed the most absurd quotes: Abraham
Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Mark Twain. I see
quotes attributed to Buddha that sound like

they come from some market research firm.”
But there’s another force at work, too,
beyond mere invention. “Quotes often are
improved as they’re distorted over time,”
O’Brien says. “It’s like a folk song. They get
compressed. The rhythm of it gets slightly
improved. So, often we leave a footnote:
‘Usually quoted as . . .’ ”
The fact that “Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations” persists is something to celebrate. Since
the original edition was prepared in 1855 by
Massachusetts bookseller John Bartlett, this
compendium of remarks has swelled to more
than 1,400 pages. But it’s still irresistible,
clearly arranged in chronological order and
helpfully indexed by speaker and subject.
It’s O’Brien’s terrifying job to decide what
gets included — and what gets removed and
assigned to oblivion. “Obviously, the book

cannot just keep getting thicker and thicker,”
he says. “For as much as you put in, you have to
more or less take out a comparable amount.
Some things are in because they’re beautiful.
Some things are in because they’re pithy.
Some things are in because they’re historically
important, although they may be appalling.”
This is not, he makes clear, a collection of
“uplifting quotes to put on the refrigerator
with a magnet.”
As it has evolved, “Bartlett’s” has become an
ongoing cultural record of what was considered significant in every decade. Of course,
Caesar, Homer, Shakespeare (lots) and Milton
are always there. But this year’s edition — the
19th! — adds more than 3,500 new quotations,
including lines from Greta Thunberg’s speech
at the 2018 United Nations climate summit
and Amanda Gorman’s presidential inaugura-

tion poem. You’ll find Colin Kaepernick on his
refusal to stand for the national anthem,
Marie Kondo on those sparks of joy and
Kellyanne Conway on alternative facts. Some
of these quotations will accrue weight and
significance over the years; others will eventually feel irrelevant.
“A future editor — and I trust there will be
future editors — will make their own judgments,” O’Brien says.
Winston Churchill once said, “Bartlett’s
Familiar Quotations is an admirable work,
and I studied it intently.” I know that’s true
because it’s quoted in “Bartlett’s Familiar
Quotations.”

A scientific look at spiritual experiences

BOOKSELLERS ASSOCIATION

DANIEL BURKE

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

states, a proposal for new ways to classify
spiritual experiences and philosophical
reflections on the metaphysical reality — or
not — of these supernatural events.
The scholars model their approach after
James, who rescued religious experiences
from both metaphysicians, who saw them
as threats to orthodoxy, and materialists,
who dismissed them as madness. Like
James, Yaden and Newberg aren’t selling a
particular idea but offer multifaceted analyses of dozens of spiritual testimonials,
drawing insights from cross-cultural studies, psychology, psychiatry, biology, pharmacology and neuroscience. If the book
sometimes speeds through subjects, providing overviews rather than deep analysis,
the writing is careful and accessible.
Yaden and Newberg don’t display
James’s profound insights into human
nature (this is no slight; James was a
genuine genius), but they do benefit from
more than a century of scientific progress.
Some neuroimaging research, for example, suggests that the intensity of one’s
religious feelings is related to dopamine, a
neurotransmitter involved in the brain’s
reward system. One study found that
patients with Parkinson’s disease, which
depletes dopamine, tend to become less
religious. In another, believers asked to
“feel the spirit” exhibited a spike in
dopamine. One patient whose corpus callosum, which connects the brain’s hemispheres, had been severed was asked
whether he believed in God. One hand
(controlled by one hemisphere) reportedly
wrote “yes”; the other hand (controlled by
the other hemisphere) wrote “no.”
Yaden and Newberg caution against
inferring too much from these studies,
saying they offer clues but don’t come close
to solving the scientific mysteries behind
spiritual experiences. Spoiler alert: “There
is no ‘God spot’ or ‘spiritual part’ of the
brain,” the scholars report.
Since James, most scholars have settled
into two camps: perennialists, who argue
that all mystical experiences are essentially
the same, and constructivists, who counter

that they are inextricable from one’s cultural
context. Yaden and Newberg stake out middle ground, analyzing thousands of reported
descriptions and detailed surveys about
spiritual experiences, which they define as
“substantially altered states of consciousness
involving a perception of, and connection to,
an unseen order of some kind.”
Under that broad umbrella, the authors
propose six subcategories: numinous (communion with the divine); revelatory (visions or voices); synchronicity (events
bearing hidden messages); unity (feeling
one with all things); aesthetic awe or
wonder (profound encounters with art or
nature); and paranormal (perceiving entities such as ghosts or angels).
The boundaries between these definitions can be fuzzy, Yaden and Newberg
write, and a single experience can overlap
multiple categories. But the distinctions
can be important, especially as spirituality
becomes part of mental health treatment.
It can be hard to talk about the moments
that interest James, Yaden and Newberg,
much less make sense of them. I’m still not
sure I had a spiritual experience. (In such
cases, Yaden and Newberg suggest the
“orgasm test”: If you’re not sure you had
one, you probably didn’t.)
As psychedelics move further into the
psychiatric mainstream, the long-term integration of spiritual experiences will prove
as important as the moments of the heady
trips themselves. To borrow a line from the
religion scholar Huston Smith, the goal of
spiritual life is not altered states but
altered traits. Yaden and Newberg demystify these enigmatic events, providing a “field
guide for identifying the various types of
spiritual experiences one might spot in the
wild.” Their sensible and sensitive work
should sit comfortably on the shelf next to
James’s.
As for the question about whether I
encountered ultimate reality, who can
really say? It felt real to me. I rated it 2 out
of 5, a cautious yes.

LUCY JONES FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Out of unbearable loss, a vision of radical hope

I

BY

D ANIEL O PPENHEIMER

n December 1995, the philosopher and
psychoanalyst Jonathan Lear published
“The Shrink Is In” in the New Republic.
Although it was commissioned as a tactical response to recent media attacks on
Sigmund Freud, the essay transcended the
occasion. It remains one of the most efficient,
balanced and lucid defenses of Freud ever
written for a lay audience.
It was also a manifesto of sorts for Lear, who is
a unique figure on the American intellectual
landscape, possibly our nation’s only practicing
psychoanalyst and credentialed philosopher.
“What is at stake in all of these attacks?” wrote
Lear, now a professor of philosophy and social
thought at the University of Chicago. “If this were
merely the attack on one historical figure, Freud,
or on one professional group, psychoanalysts, the
hubbub would have died down long ago. After all,
psychoanalysis nowadays plays a minor role in
the mental health professions; Freud is less and
less often taught or studied. . . . The real object of
attack — for which Freud is only a stalking horse —
is the very idea of humans having unconscious
motivation. A battle may be fought over Freud, but
the war is over our culture’s image of the human
soul. Are we to see humans as having depth — as
complex psychological organisms who generate
layers of meaning which lie beneath the surface of
their own understanding? Or are we to take ourselves as transparent to ourselves?”
I’ve been following Lear for the last few
decades, since reading his short book on Aristotle when I was a college freshman. When he has a
new book coming out, as he does on Tuesday,
with the publication of “Imagining the End:
Mourning and Ethical Life,” it is an event for me.
It should be an event for all of us, as we struggle
to find hope and wisdom in this time of catastrophe, hyperstimulation and stupidity.
Born in New York City in 1949, Lear was raised
in West Hartford, Conn., the son of a civic-minded
surgeon and an unhappy suburban housewife.
He went to college at Yale, graduating in 1970,
then spent most of the next 15 years studying and
teaching philosophy at the University of Cambridge, in England. It was after his father’s death,
at the suggestion of his cousin Norman Lear, the
eminent TV writer and producer, that Lear first
dipped his toe into therapy. “He took me aside
after the memorial service,” Lear recently told me
over Zoom, “and said, ‘This would be a good time
to talk to someone about your feelings.’ ”
Lear took the advice and found the experience incredibly useful. “I was amazed by how
helpful it was,” he says. A subsequent experience with a psychoanalytically trained therapist in Cambridge introduced him, in much
more depth, to the Freudian view of the world.
When he moved back to the United States to
take a faculty job at Yale, he also became a
student at the Western New England Psychoanalytic Institute and Society, in New Haven.
Over the past few decades, while teaching at
Yale and the University of Chicago, he has treated
hundreds of patients and mentored dozens of
other psychoanalysts. He has written, as well, a
series of books that fuse psychoanalysis and philosophy, including “Love and Its Place in Nature:
A Philosophical Interpretation of Freudian Psychoanalysis,” “Open Minded: Working Out the
Logic of the Soul,” “Radical Hope: Ethics in the
Face of Cultural Devastation” and “Therapeutic
Action: An Earnest Plea for Irony.”
Lear is a lovely and subtle writer, someone who
has a rare capacity to introduce ways of seeing
and interrogating the world that dignify our
confusion and pain while also opening up new
possibilities for moving forward. He can simplify
complexity and complicate what appears to be
simple, depending on the need and the audience.
Much of Lear’s writing in “Imagining the

End” is of the latter kind. He subjects to close
inspection “ordinary fleeting moments” that
might otherwise be unreflectively assimilated.
In a chapter titled “When Meghan Married
Harry,” Lear pauses for a while on Meghan
Markle’s confession to Oprah Winfrey that she
and her prince had a secret wedding ceremony,
with just the two of them and the Archbishop of
Canterbury, a few days before the big public
one. They did so, Markle said, to “live authentically.” This claim becomes, for Lear, an opportunity both to credit Markle’s intuition, that
there’s something “phony” about the spectacle
of the modern royal wedding, and to question
whether her notion of authenticity (which involves, among other things, telling secrets to
Oprah) is grounded in a sufficiently rich view of
what it entails to live the good life. Or whether
instead she’s gotten trapped, like so many of us,
“one level up,” aware of where something in the
culture has gone terribly wrong but stuck
within the culture’s exhausted concepts and
narratives and therefore unable to arrive at a
true alternative. “She subverts the ritual only to
be snagged by the concept,” Lear observes.
What might remedy this, Lear writes, drawing
on Aristotle, is a culture more alive with the
imaginative and intellectual practices of the humanities, a culture in which we engage with the
past, and with its greatest thinkers and artists,
not to revere or return to the past but to use its
resources to reimagine our present and future.
“When things are going well,” he writes, “we
develop a capacity for critical playfulness, for
re-creation and change of the very concepts with
which we are thinking. We are freed up for a
poetic reinterpretation of authenticity, as well as
opened up to the possibility of giving up the
concept altogether and living according to different concepts.”
A flourishing culture would be one in which
teachers — true teachers — are everywhere. In
class, at home, onstage, on screen, on the field, at
work, in temple, at the bar. In “Exemplars and the
End of the World,” he dwells on a schoolyard
incident from his childhood to explore the importance of what he calls “local exemplars” — the
people we encounter in our everyday lives who
stop us in our tracks, unexpectedly, and change
the way we see things from that point on. “He was
wearing a trench coat, belted in the middle,”
remembers Lear of his elementary school teacher
Mr. McMahon, who chastised the young Lear for
cursing on the playground. “His hair was in a
crew cut, common among men at that time. He
might have been a police detective in a television
show. He came over, looked me in the eyes, and
said in a low, calm voice: ‘We do not use profane
language on the playground.’ He then turned
around and walked away. That was it.”
There was no punishment. Mr. McMahon never referenced it again. No one else on the playground has thought of it since. For Lear, though,
at the age of 10, it was so meaningful that he’s
spent the last 63 years reckoning with it, and it
has become the seed of a philosophical theory of
what it takes to serve in the role of local exemplar
for someone else. It requires a humanistic spirit
but also a kind of beauty and mystery.
McMahon was able to occupy such psychological space in a boy’s head, Lear writes, in no small
part because what he said, and how he said it,
IMAGINING
THE END
Mourning and
Ethical Life
By Jonathan
Lear
Belknap/
Harvard.
162 pp. $29.95

were enigmatic. The interaction was pregnant
with meaning that the boy could sense but not
quite grasp. The playground was a realm that had
unwritten rules of behavior. There was a category
of things that were “profane” (a word that Lear,
like most 10-year-olds, didn’t know) and by implication another category of things that were not
profane. Mr. McMahon seemed to understand
that Lear didn’t really know what he was doing
when he swore — there was an innocence to it —
and so there was no punishment beyond that
brief censure. And there was a verve to the delivery of the line, consonant with McMahon’s whole
trench-coat-police-detective style, that charged
the moment with almost cinematic energy. “I
have . . . imagined him smiling to himself, indiscernible to the outside world,” Lear writes, “and
thinking, ‘I’ve given that little fellow something to
think about for the rest of his life.’ ”
This is a lot of meaning to hang on a 10-second
interaction, but that is Lear’s style, and his point.
“A universe can open up from an instant, if you’ll
just look at it and spend time with it,” he told me.
We live in a world overflowing with meaning. We
can’t process it all or dwell on it all the time, but
we can process more than we typically do. We can
do so as thoughtfully as possible, and we can
return again and again to those things whose
meaning seems to just exceed our grasp, cultivating a virtuous habit of creative repetition and
reinvention. To do this, it helps enormously to
attend more closely to the people in our lives, like
Mr. McMahon, who are “the first responders, as it
were, to our need for the experience of something
‘higher,’ ‘noble,’ ‘beautiful.’ ”
We can resist, too, the kinds of answers we so
often reach for when confronted with overwhelming difficulty and loss: anger, resentment,
despair, withdrawal, fantasy. These only exacerbate the problem, especially when they operate
under the veil of politics and ideology. Lear begins
his new book by recalling a lecture he attended on
climate change, zeroing in on a moment during
the Q&A when someone in the audience joked
that we deserved an Earth that was so hot and
poisoned that it could no longer support human
life. We deserved our own extinction.
“A young academic stood up,” Lear writes,
“and said simply, ‘Let me tell you something:
We will not be missed!’ ”
It was a good enough quip, and people
laughed. Then they moved on. Except Lear. Why
is it funny, he wondered, this idea that we may
destroy ourselves as a species? It was a release, of
course. Climate change is a heavy subject; gallows
humor exists because laughter is one of the ways
we cope with heaviness. But it was more than just
a release. It was a retreat, Lear argues, from the
intolerable sadness of the situation and from the
intolerable complexity of the human experience.
We are creators and destroyers, beautiful and
cruel. In our absence, ecosystems may heal, but
the world will have lost something irreplaceable:
us. In an important sense the world will have lost
the capacity even to see itself as having lost
something. We will not be missed because there
will be no human consciousness alive capable of
doing the missing. Making light of this scenario
may feel, in the moment, like a nod toward cosmic
(or karmic) justice, but it reads to Lear like an
expression of despair and misanthropy.
The healthier alternative to such despair is
mourning, which for Lear is a more expansive
activity than just grieving a loss. It is at the center
of what it means to be human and to grow and
develop psychologically. It is a creative response
to what has been lost, whether that’s a beloved
spouse, a past version of ourselves, a classroom of
murdered children or the Earth as it once was. In
the face of loss, our brains go to work. “We get
busy emotionally, imaginatively, and cognitively,”
Lear writes, “and at least try to make sense of
what has happened.”
In the face of unbearable loss, of the kind we’ve

become so brutally familiar with, he offers a
vision of what he has called “radical hope,” which
involves acting with hope in the absence not just
of rational justification for hope but in the absence of the conceptual building blocks out of
which a better future might be constituted. It
entails moving forward in the dark, relying on
our values, commitments, relationships, creativity and whatever wisdom we’ve gleaned from
experience. We can’t see the other side, or even
know that a better future will come into existence, but we can keep moving in what we hope is
the right direction. “We have a hunch,” he writes,
that “we are onto something important about
being human, but we are also in the midst of life
and thus in the midst of confusions, contradictions, and unclarities.”
Radical hope is terrifying, in other words.
What it’s not, however, is fantasy. It’s an honest
reckoning with all that we don’t know and don’t
control, along with a refusal to stop hoping or
moving forward. This honesty about what we
can’t do, paired with a commitment to persist in
what we can do, is in stark contrast to the absolutist fantasies that tend to animate the American
political response when confronting the most
terrifying, and most intractable, problems. We
must end the pandemic. We must never wear
masks. We must never impose any restrictions
again. We must end Vladimir Putin. We must
provide a mental health professional for every
troubled child. We must vanquish our political
enemies. We must eliminate guns. We must arm
every teacher.
For Lear the psychoanalyst, these fantasies are
often manifestations of the primal human fantasy, which is of omnipotence. The rage is an echo of
the primal infant rage when a baby’s need or
desire isn’t instantly gratified. “Either you want to
be omnipotent,” he told me, “or you want someone
else to be omnipotent for you, or you want to kill
everyone else. The psychoanalytic insight is that
healthy development requires abandoning the
fantasy of omnipotence. But that is no small deal.”
But what else can we do but fantasize, I asked
Lear, when confronted with tragedies like Uvalde, Ukraine, covid-19 and whatever’s just around
the corner? Everybody’s too angry at everyone
else. Our politicians are too small. Aren’t we
simply, actually stuck? No, Lear answered. Having a global solution is not a prerequisite for
acting in the world. Approaching the world with
the expectation that every problem must be
solved, soon and completely, comes from a failure
to reckon with our own and the world’s limits. We
are not omnipotent. There is no savior (on this
plane of existence, at least) who will come to the
rescue. The world is fundamentally flawed.
This is hard to accept. It’s probably impossible
to fully accept. But we can try to mourn it. If we do
so well enough, Lear believes, we will discover
that even when dealing with terrible loss and
profound obstacles, there are things we can do.
Take care of the people close to us. Work politically to improve things. Appreciate beauty and nobility in others. Be an exemplar for others. Make
meaning. Creatively and repeatedly engage with
the past. Have hope. Resist despair.
“How do you look straight on at these horrible things but not lose sight of what’s magnificent about human beings?” Lear asked. “It’s
hard. It’s hard to be human. Maturity is an
achievement.”
There are no answers in “Imagining the End,”
or in most of Lear’s work. There are no recipes for
maturity. Or plans for a stable peace in Ukraine.
What his work does give us is an example of how
to engage in the world with extraordinary care.
This doesn’t solve everything, or maybe anything.
But no one promised us that being human was
easy.

Defects, rising costs, legal action snarled the imminent Silver Line extension

AND

L ORI A RATANI
M ICHAEL L ARIS

Fifteen years ago, federal auditors warned that having the
Washington region’s airports
agency depart from its usual line
of work to build a multibilliondollar rail extension carried risks.
Citing Boston’s Big Dig, a budget-busting bridge-and-tunnel
project led by a turnpike authority, U.S. Transportation Depart-

‘Nobody is proud’ of the
delays, but officials are
keen on Tuesday’s debut
ment auditors said projects lacking effective management and
oversight could face long delays
and ballooning costs. They wrote
that lessons could apply to a

long-planned Northern Virginia
rail line and the Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority,
which was tapped to build it,
citing the authority’s “lack of experience in managing a mass
transit project.”
The cautions proved prescient,
at a reduced scale. The Silver Line
is no Big Dig or California High
Speed Rail — megaprojects on
opposite sides of the country that
have bled billions amid design

flaws and charges of poor management — but the 11.4-mile rail
extension will make its debut
Tuesday four years late and $250
million over budget.
During eight years of construction, the new $3 billion stretch of
the Silver Line recorded concrete
failures, flawed railroad ties,
problems in a rail yard and fraudulent quality records from an
employee of a subcontractor.
Project managers at the airports

authority burned through a halfbillion-dollar contingency fund
before calling on Fairfax and Loudoun counties and Dulles Toll
Road drivers this year to kick in
hundreds of millions more dollars to cover costly slip-ups.
As the Washington region
opens a new chapter with a rail
link between downtown D.C. and
the nation’s wealthiest county —
via an international airport and
the economic powerhouse of Ty-

sons — it will close another that
was fraught with oversight challenges almost from the start.
“I don’t know that they properly planned for the magnitude of
this project,” said Jeffrey C. McKay, chair of the Fairfax County
Board of Supervisors. Construction-related problems and resulting disputes with some of the

When the Super Bowl of horse shows returned to Prince
George’s County after more than a 20-year absence, County
Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks knew who her guests of honor
would be: Morissa Hall, 16, and 14-year-old Nicholas “Nic”
Jackson. ¶ She singled the teens out at a news conference
touting the 64th annual Washington International Horse Show
at the Show Place Arena as cowboy-boot-walking proof that
Prince George’s County is the rightful home for equestrian
sports in the metro area. ¶ “Let it be known that the rodeo
queen, for anyone who’s curious about it, grew up in Prince
George’s County,” Alsobrooks said, looking at Hall before
turning to Jackson. “Let us take a look and see what a champion
looks like.”

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

For
many
Baltimoreans,
Democrat Wes Moore’s historic
victory in the governor’s race on
Tuesday couldn’t come soon
enough.
It wasn’t just that Moore lives
in Baltimore — though that was a
big plus. It also meant they were
that much closer to Republican
Gov. Larry Hogan’s departure
from office and the end of an
acrimonious eight years between
the residents of Maryland’s largest city and a leader many felt
often worked against them.
With Moore in charge, leaders
here said, the relationship between the city and the governor’s
mansion can begin to recover.
And they are counting the days

until Hogan leaves.
“Many of us have felt that our
governor has held our city with
contempt and has not always
seen us as a part of the whole
picture of Maryland,” said Del.
Stephanie M. Smith (D-Baltimore), a Moore supporter who
represents East Baltimore and
chairs the city’s delegation in the
Maryland House of Delegates.
“This is a city that’s been looking
for a governor that’s simply a
friend. But it would be preferable, at minimum, to have a
governor that believes in you,
knows you, embraces you and
sees you as a full part of our
state.”
The city’s frustrations with
Hogan go back to 2015 during his
first year in office when he pulled

the plug on the Red Line, a $2.9
billion proposed light rail system
that had been in planning for
years and would have connected
residents of some of the city’s
poorest neighborhoods to downtown.
Proponents said the east-west
rail system would have brought
the city together, made more jobs
accessible to more people and
furthered economic development.
Approximately
$288
million had already been spent
on the planning process which
began in 2001. Hogan rejected
the plans and called the project a
“wasteful boondoggle.” His decision meant Baltimore would lose
out on $900 million in federal
funding that had already been
earmarked for the project.

Adding salt to the wound was
Hogan’s decision, announced
that same day, to divert some of
the state funding earmarked for
the Red Line to the Purple Line
in the Washington suburbs. He
also announced $2 billion in
highway spending across the
state. Baltimore felt left in the
lurch.
When Hogan’s Twitter account
posted plans for the transportation projects it included a map of
Maryland that had a blank space
where Baltimore should have
been. The tweet was later deleted.

him the nation’s only current
Black governor and just the third
elected in its history, has said

Silver Line to Dulles Airport will
open Tuesday. Here’s what to know.
BY J USTIN G EORGE
AND L UZ L AZO

The Silver Line extension is the
largest expansion of the Metrorail
system in eight years and will
bring regional rail service about
28 miles west of Washington into
Loudoun County.
It includes a stop at Dulles
International Airport, something
regional travelers, airport officials and business leaders have
desired for decades. The line includes five other stations and
forms the spine for a burgeoning
Northern Virginia tech corridor.
While four years behind schedule, the $3 billion project will
bring the first rail connections
between the Washington region’s
largest economic powerhouses —
downtown D.C. and Tysons — the
area’s international airport and
the nation’s wealthiest county.
The first passenger train to
serve the new corridor will depart
the Ashburn station at 1:54 p.m.
on Tuesday. The first full-length
westbound trip will depart the
Downtown Largo station at 12:51
p.m., arriving at Wiehle-Reston
East at 2:02 p.m. before servicing
the new stations.
Where does the Silver Line
extension go, and how long is
the ride?
The Silver Line extension will
continue beyond the existing terminus at the Wiehle-Reston East
Metro station. The extension is
nearly 11.5 miles and is the second
phase of a 23-mile line that debuted in 2014, when four stations
also opened in Tysons. The Silver
Line joins the Orange Line at the
East Falls Church station, then
both share tracks with the Blue

Line beginning in Rosslyn before
the Silver Line ends at the Downtown Largo station in Prince
George’s County, Md.
The Northern Virginia extension has six new stations, including three in Fairfax County —
Reston Town Center, Herndon
and Innovation Center — and
three others in Loudoun County,
which are Dulles, Loudoun Gateway and Ashburn. Riding from
the Ashburn Station to the existing Wiehle-Reston East will take
22 minutes.
Here are other travel times:
— Ashburn to Tysons: 33 minutes
— Ashburn to Union Station:
74 minutes
— L’Enfant Plaza to Dulles: 58
minutes
— Reston Town Center to Navy
Yard: 52 minutes
A ride without transfers that
spans the length of the Silver
Line, from Ashburn to Downtown
Largo, will take about 93 minutes.
The project is four years
behind schedule. What took
so long?
Construction for the extension
began in 2014 and the project was
scheduled to open in 2018, but
became saddled with years of
delays. The project was bogged
down by shifting storm water
management requirements, falsified testing of troublesome concrete panels and a related $1
million settlement, the conviction of a subcontractor’s former
manager on a wire fraud charge
and a work stoppage over cracks
in the concrete girders that support elevated tracks near the
Dulles Airport station.
The Metropolitan Washington

Airports Authority, which oversaw construction of the project,
paid the lead contractor more
than $200 million over the contract for cost overruns. Airport
officials have said the project’s
complexity, an increase in the cost
of building materials, supply
chain slowdowns and pandemicrelated restrictions fueled the delays and overruns.
What will it cost to ride, and
how often will trains arrive?
Like the rest of the Metrorail
system, the cost of riding the
Silver Line depends on the time of
day and distance traveled. The
maximum that Metro charges is
$6 on weekdays. Fares drop to a
flat $2 after 9:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends.
Silver Line trains will operate
every 15 minutes to start, although waits are expected to
shorten over the next six months
as Metro incorporates more
trains into service. Trains eventually will operate every 10 minutes during rush hour, every 12
minutes during midday, evening
and weekends, and every 15 minutes after 9:30 p.m.
The Silver Line will operate
during the same hours as the rest
of the Metrorail system:
— Monday through Thursday
from 5 a.m. until midnight.
— Friday from 5 a.m. until 1
a.m.
— Saturday from 7 a.m. until 1
a.m.
— Sunday from 7 a.m. until
midnight
What should I know about
getting to Dulles via Metro?
The train platform at the
Dulles station provides a clear

The new Silver Line extension from Ashburn to Dulles International Airport, above, and Loudoun
County, long a dream of local officials, is scheduled to open Tuesday after years of delays.

view of the airport terminal. The
underground walkway between
the terminal and station has new
signage pointing passengers
toward baggage claim. The walk
takes about five minutes.
John E. “Jack” Potter, chief executive of the Metropolitan
Washington Airports Authority,
which operates the airport, said
Dulles expects “several thousand”
passengers a day through the
Metro station.
Travelers headed to Dulles
should reserve plenty of time to
get there. The ride from Metro
Center in downtown Washington
to Dulles will take 53 minutes.
From Rosslyn, the ride to the
airport will take 45 minutes, according to Metro.
If you needed to shuttle between the region’s two major airports, Metro estimates it will take

62 minutes to go from Reagan
National Airport to Dulles. To get
from Dulles to Baltimore-Washington International Marshall
Airport, a rider would have to
take the Metro to Union Station
or New Carrollton and board an
Amtrak or MARC train to BWI.
(The former B30 Metrobus route
between Greenbelt and BWI was
discontinued).
What happens to bus service
to Dulles?
Multiple bus routes that connect Dulles to the Washington
region and the Metro system will
be discontinued when the Silver
Line station opens.
Metro is ending the 5A, a popular route used by airport workers
and travelers from the District to
Dulles for more than two decades.
The Metrobus route connects

L’Enfant Plaza and Rosslyn to
Dulles in just under an hour for
$7.50. Metro said the express line
will be canceled starting Nov. 16.
The airports authority said it
will discontinue the Washington
Flyer Silver Line Express bus, a
$5-per-ride service between the
airport and the Wiehle-Reston
East Metro station. The line’s last
day will be Nov. 15.
Fairfax Connector said it is
discontinuing the 981 route between Wiehle-Reston East and
Dulles on Nov. 16. The Fairfax bus
system, however, will continue to
serve the airport with two new
routes: the 952, with stops at the
Wiehle-Reston East, Reston Town
Center and Herndon stations;
and the 983, between the Innovation Center station and Dulles.
What else should commuters
know about the new stations?
Four transit bus systems —
Fairfax Connector, Loudoun
County Transit, Metrobus and
OmniRide — will connect riders
to Silver Line stations. SmarTrip
cards, either mobile or physical,
work on all of the region’s transit
systems.
According to Loudoun County
Transit, the agency will replace
Metro Connection Bus Service
with new Silver Line bus routes.
The new bus service will provide
weekday service to and from local
stops, including Loudoun County
park-and-ride lots and Silver Line
stations.
Parking will be available at the
Ashburn, Loudoun Gateway, Innovation Center and Herndon
stations. Rates are generally
about $5 per day, paid via
SmarTrip, although parking is
free on weekends.
What are Metro’s ridership
projections?
Metro does not have recent
ridership projections for the Silver Line extension because the
pandemic dramatically altered
transit usage both in the Washington region and across the nation.
Before the pandemic, Metro
expected thousands of tech workers to ride the Silver Line on their
way to the growing number of
offices and light-industrial warehouses sprouting up near the
tracks. While commuters may
still make up the majority of riders, Metro officials say passengers
will include a mix of office workers, airport users and those in
Northern Virginia who don’t
want to deal with stifling traffic to
get to events, stores and other
leisure activities.
About 420,000 people live
within five miles of the Silver
Line’s new stations, according to
Metro.
An
environmental-impact
statement several years ago estimated the Silver Line extension
would generate about 24,600
trips per weekday, which is roughly equivalent to passenger counts,
although system ridership is now
about half of pre-pandemic levels.
Is Metro planning other
expansions in the future?
Metro will open an infill station in Alexandria next year,
called Potomac Yard, but otherwise has no concrete plans in the
works for expansion.
The transit agency is studying
extending the Blue Line to National Harbor and creating a longdiscussed station in Georgetown.
Developers of National Harbor
are pushing for a Metrorail connection, but it would come with a
hefty price tag, costing between
$20 billion and $25 billion to
build and between $175 million
and $200 million annually to operate, according to a Metro report
last fall.
After the new Silver Line and
Potomac Yard stations open, riders shouldn’t expect any extensions or new lines to the 98-station system for many years.

Circling back to the peculiar appearance of the Foxhall Crescents development
While looking
for something
else on Google
Maps, I noticed
a neighborhood
northwest
John Kelly's in
Washington
Washington
with oddly
shaped streets,
most of which are named
“Foxhall Crescent,” even
though they seem to be
disconnected. Can you shed
any light on the origins of this
neighborhood and the strange
layout?

— Christopher Davis,
Washington, D.C.
On Sept. 22, 1977,
Washingtonians awoke to
front-page news in The
Washington Post: Nelson
Rockefeller was selling his
25-acre estate off Foxhall Road
NW for $5.5 million.
Some readers may have
thought, “Good for old Nelson.”
The wealthy grandson of the
founder of Standard Oil — and
former vice president — had
been trying to sell the estate for
a while, lowering the price from
$8 million.
He’d finally found a buyer,
with the help of a real estate
agent with the singular name
Basheyba who ate only raw
vegetables and dressed only in
yellow. (“It’s the color of the sun.
It makes people happy,” she told
a reporter.)
Some people weren’t too
happy with the news. The
buyers were developers Allen

Rozansky and Alan Kay, who

planned to put up to 130 homes
on the sloping, forested site.
Living nearby were such figures
as former CIA director Richard
Helms, David Lloyd Kreeger,
chairman of Geico, and socialite
and philanthropist Gwendolyn
Cafritz.
They were among neighbors
who vowed to block the
development.
Speaking at a meeting of foes,
lawyer Peter B. Work said a
coalition had formed to do
whatever it took to block
construction. “We’ll cost them
their profits in legal fees,” Work
said.
“This is what I call the
hypocrisy of snobbery,”
developer Kay told The
Washington Post. “What we’re
going to build there will be
every bit as nice as what’s
already there. If I didn’t buy it,
then someone else would. Once
the decision was made by
Rockefeller [to sell], that was it.”
The proposed houses may
have been every bit as nice, but
there were a lot of them. And
they were arranged along
streets that meandered a bit but
were fairly conventional in their
rectilinear layout.
But the developers had a
secret weapon: an architect
named Arthur Cotton Moore.
Moore — who died in
September at 87 —
was a sixth-generation
Washingtonian, a graduate of
St. Albans School and Princeton

University. He had a pedigree
that could calm neighbors and
attract buyers. Moore threw
away the original site plan and
turned for inspiration to an
earlier housing project: the
Royal Crescent, completed in
Bath, England, in 1774.
The Royal Crescent —
designed by an architect known
as John Wood, the Younger —
comprises 30 rowhouses that
present a seamless, colonnaded
facade of honey-colored stone.
As the name implies, the facade
is curved.
While the Royal Crescent is
one continuous building,
Moore’s design is not. It’s made
up of detached houses arranged
around circular streets. Front
yards are nonexistent and
backyards are minimal.
Critically, there is a 30-foot
buffer of trees around the
property.
As for the houses, there were
originally about nine different
designs, all in cast stone and
pale brick, with a Palladian
front. Some of the houses have
facades that are either concave
or convex, depending on what
side of the street they’re on.
Because of the hilly site, homes
on one side of the street have
three levels in front, two in
back; on the other side of the
street, it’s two in front, three in
back.
“Quiet elegance” is how
builder Arden Baker — who
with his partner, Bill Crowell,
constructed the first homes —

ARTHUR COTTON MOORE/ASSOCIATES

The Foxhall Crescents development was built in Northwest D.C. on the former estate of Nelson
Rockefeller. Architect Arthur Cotton Moore based the design on the Royal Crescent in Bath, England.

described the design. “We
wanted to make a statement.”
One statement was clear from
the start. The text in a print ad
began: “Admittedly only for the
very affluent . .. ” The homes —
up to 4,700 square feet in size,
all with circular staircases, some
with elevators — were originally
priced from around $400,000 to
close to $700,000.
(Today, you’d need $2 million
to $3 million to move in.)
Moore described the
prototypical buyer as “maybe an

OB/GYN in McLean who wanted
a Foxhall Road address.
Someone who probably had no
children or ones that are all
grown up or off at college.”
(Ambassadors seem drawn to
the neighborhood today.)
Given how the neighborhood
looks on a map, the developers
might have called it Foxhall
Circles, but they opted for
Foxhall Crescents. That’s
Crescents, plural. There are four
— or a little more than four,
depending on how you count

them.
They comprise about 100
homes, entered through what
are called Eastgate, Westgate,
Southgate and Battery Kemble
Gate.
Even though the circles are
noncontiguous — accessed via
Foxhall Road, 46th Street, 48th
Street or 49th Street — all the
homes have Foxhall Crescent
NW addresses.
That can make getting pizza

resident told Answer Man.

up to the bus stop was different.
He found his son sitting in a
broken wheelchair, relieved to
see him. His son wanted to go
with him. As Robinson, who is in
his 70s, struggled to get his son
from the busted wheelchair into
his vehicle, three people pulled
over and got out of their cars to
help.
“Dad, thank God you are here,”
Robinson recalled his son saying.
“Dad, I just wanted to die.”
Timothy Robinson would later
recall feeling increasingly
hopeless as he sat at that bus
stop. When he saw his dad, he
said, “I knew I was not alone.”
A year and a half has passed
since that encounter. Since then,
the younger Robinson has spent
many of his days at a
rehabilitation center, and the
older Robinson has spent many
of his applying his investigative
skills to figuring out what
happened to his son.
He said it was not until after
that bus stop moment that his
son finally gave him permission
to look at his military records.
What Robinson found, he said,
left him stunned, angry and
determined to get his son the
help he has long deserved.

around.”
There are many reasons a
veteran might be denied
disability benefits. The Robinson
family understands that.
Rudolph Robinson is a veteran.
His father was also one. But the
family says that Timothy
Robinson was denied benefits
because his records falsely say he
received a surgery.
On Veterans Day, people
across the country celebrated the
current and former service
members in their lives. But on
that same day, in a Maryland

rehabilitation center, two
veterans spoke about how their
lives might have turned out
differently if in 1985, when
Timothy Robinson was sent
home early by the Army with
foot problems, the military had
given him the physical and
mental help he needed. The
maybes they carry are weighty.
Maybe he would not have
fallen into a depression.
Maybe he would not have
neglected his body to the point
that he needed to have both of
his legs amputated below the
knee.
Maybe he would not have
spent decades on the street, selfmedicating, believing he failed
his family.
Timothy Robinson said he did
not even know until his dad
started looking into his records
that he had received an
honorable discharge. When he
was told that, he initially
thought it was a lie. He had
spent so long feeling shame
about his time in the service that
he never associated it with the
word “honorable.”

officials about the case, but

cases can be complicated, and
Robinson’s case is complicated
even more so by time.
But time also makes telling his
story more urgent. The
Robinsons said they have taken
official steps to appeal the denial
of benefits, but they were
warned that process could take
years, and they have already lost
so many of those. Their hope is
that officials might hear about
their son’s situation and look
into his case sooner.
“What happens if he has to
leave here?” Rudolph Robinson
said of the rehabilitation center.
“Once you are done with your
treatment, you have to go back to
where you came from. Where did
he come from? The streets.”
Robinson said after picking
his son up from the bus stop, he
took him to a Veterans Affairs
hospital because he was suicidal.
After getting released about a
month later, the younger
Robinson was not able to go to
his parents’ home because it is
not wheelchair accessible, so his
parents paid for him to stay at a
hotel. While there, he had a
stroke, which is how he ended up
at the rehabilitation center.
“I feel like I would like to live,”
the 57-year-old son said on
Veterans Day, confessing that he
had not always felt that way.

THE

“Live a good life.”
Rudolph Robinson said, I told
him it is not too late. I told him,
‘We never gave up on you. You
gave up on yourself.’”
As the younger Robinson tells
it, his problems started shortly
after he joined the Army. During
training, he was given boots that
were too tight and his feet
started hurting. He then began
falling behind on drills, and his
fellow service members made it
clear they wanted him gone. “At
night, they would put a blanket
over my head and beat on me,”
he said.
Still, he stayed, until officials
determined he should be sent
home. Records his father shared
with me show that he entered
into active duty on Oct. 16, 1984,
and received an honorable
discharge on Feb. 2, 1985.
Rudolph Robinson said his
son came home with swollen and
bloody feet and in a depressed
state that left him not wanting to
talk to anyone. He said he and
his wife contacted military
officials at the time to get him
help but were told he was not
eligible. The family only learned
decades later that a letter
containing an explanation for
the denial was sent to their old
address.
A letter shared with me dated

Oct. 6, 1993, reads: “The board
finds that prior to service the
veteran underwent operations
on both feet for severe
complications associated with
pes planus.” (Pes planus is also
known as “flat feet.”)
Both father and son deny that
surgery was ever recommended
or occurred. Rudolph Robinson
said his son would have been a
teenager when that surgery
supposedly took place, and his
consent would have been
required. He insists his son had
no problems with his feet before
joining the army. He also pointed
out that his son had worked as a
laborer and passed a physical
exam before being approved for
military duty.
They both said that looking
into the case has left them not
only thinking about their own
family’s situation but also about
others.
Timothy Robinson said one
reason he wanted to speak
publicly about his experience is
because he knows other

RE

Many Baltimoreans are glad to see Hogan go
BALTIMORE FROM C1

that the Red Line is a “core
priority.”
“If you want to get economic
momentum going you need to be
able to move people to employment,” he told the Baltimore Sun
in September. “We cannot think
that we’re going to move as a
state when every time we talk
about Baltimore it’s with
disdain. We cannot have a thriving Maryland if Baltimore is
unhealthy.”
Hogan also regularly blasted
city leaders for how they handled crime and their failure, he
said, to prosecute violent criminals. Baltimore has had more
than 300 homicides per year for
the past seven years and is on
pace to exceed 300 again this
year. In 2021 it had the highest
homicide rate of any of the
country’s 50 largest cities. Earlier this year, Hogan and Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott
engaged in a sharp back and
forth with each side accusing the
other of not doing enough to
address crime and its root
causes.
“In February, you assured us
there was a comprehensive plan
in place, but at this point, I do
not believe anyone — including
you — believes it is working,”
Hogan wrote in a public letter to
Scott in May. “It is time to see a
real plan and real action now.”
“If the Governor wanted to ask
me about the crime fight, he
could have asked me in person
. . . but he chose not to and
instead played publicity games
with public safety,” Scott fired
back. “Moreover, since he’s taken
office, two things are true: he has
refused to offer Baltimore any
meaningful help, and crime has
gone up every year . . . The
Governor knows how to help,
but he refuses to do so.”
Hogan also criticized Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn
Mosby for her approach to pursuing criminal convictions in the
city. A year ago he called for a
funding review of her office and
demanded data on prosecution
rates. What Baltimore needed,
Hogan said, was “a prosecutor
who will actually prosecute violent criminals.”
Mosby struck back at Hogan,
accusing him of failing to work
with four Baltimore mayors and
its police chiefs.
“Quite candidly, he’s been
more concerned with pointing
the finger at everyone else as
opposed to actually leading and
delivering for a city that is the
heartbeat for this state,” said
Mosby at a news conference.
In January, Mosby was indicted by a federal grand jury on two
counts each of perjury and making false loan applications. She
ran for a third term but was
defeated in the Democratic primary by Ivan Bates, a defense
attorney.

ERIC LEE FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Governor-Elect Wes Moore (D) speaks at an election night party for Maryland Democrats at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront in
Baltimore on Tuesday. Moore’s victory makes him the nation’s only current Black governor, and the third in U.S. history.

funded and understaffed the
state’s probation and parole system, leading to little oversight
and assistance for people released from prison. Moore on his
campaign website pledged to fill
every vacant position, “ensuring
strong supervision of high-risk
individuals, and leveraging local
offices to connect people to behavioral health treatment, housing and employment.”
Moore has also said he will
work to rebuild relationships
between Baltimore communities
and law enforcement by increasing accountability and transparency and funding community
policing programs.
Baltimore had the air knocked
out of it by Hogan’s Red Line
decision, and the city’s relationship with him never recovered,
said Baltimore City Council
member Zeke Cohen (D). If anything, he said, Hogan’s criticism
of the city and the disdain he
showed to city leaders made it
worse.
“Gov. Hogan has treated Baltimore City like a rhetorical
punching bag,” Cohen said. “Every time he hits it in the media,
he seems to think his poll ratings
go up. And that may be true. But
what has been unfortunate is
that he has defunded our public
transportation and at times our
schools, while selling the narra-

tive of local dysfunction.”
In its editorial endorsing Wes
Moore last month over Republican candidate Dan Cox, the Baltimore Sun took a parting shot at
Hogan for how he has treated the
city, writing “Our current governor has too often sought to
distance himself from Baltimore
and its problems, including a
legacy of systemic racism that
has resulted in ongoing issues of
crime and poverty.”
Asked to respond to criticisms
made by city leaders, Hogan
spokesperson Michael Ricci defended Hogan’s efforts on behalf
of Baltimore.
“The governor has always believed that a strong Maryland
depends on a strong Baltimore,
and has made unprecedented
investments in revitalization, infrastructure, school construction, and public safety for the
city,” Ricci wrote in an email
Wednesday. “He has done this
collaboratively, funding every request made by the mayor to
address violent crime, and working with legislative leaders to
provide the single largest infusion of jobs to the central business district. There is important
and hard-fought progress for the
next administration to build on.”
And not all Baltimoreans
agree that the governor has been
uniformly hostile to the city.

Projects like the redevelopment of the Pimlico Race Course
and surrounding neighborhood
and Project C.O.R.E, a $75 million investment by the state to
tear down abandoned buildings
to create green space and develop affordable and mixed-use
housing, have made a real difference, said Howard Libit, executive director of the Baltimore
Jewish Council who once served
as communications chief for former Baltimore mayor Stephanie
Rawlings-Blake.
“Those are going to be an
important positive legacy for his
work in Baltimore,” he said.
And others in Baltimore did
not mind Hogan’s aggressive approach to the city.
“I liked the accountability he
provided for Baltimore City because he did come off a little
more vocal about what was going on here especially with crime
and how Marilyn Mosby was
handling her office,” said Kyna
McKenzie, the vice chair of the
Baltimore City Republican Party.
“I don’t believe that’s going to
happen with Wes Moore.”
McKenzie knows Baltimore
Republicans are vastly outnumbered in the city. Democrats
occupy every seat on the City
Council, and no Republican has
been mayor since Theodore
McKeldin left office in 1967.

“It’s awful, honestly,” she said.
“We are totally blocked out here.”
Natalie McCabe, a 41-year-old
therapist who voted for Moore
on Tuesday, is happy to see
Hogan go.
She said Hogan has neglected
Maryland’s most populous city.
“It’s easy to look out for the
affluent side of Maryland,” she
said. “Baltimore needs people
who are going to line up and do
what they say they’re going to do.
I want a better Baltimore that
looks like the potential it has.”
McCabe thought about nearby
Columbia, Md., which has benefited from recent construction
— from supermarkets to new
homes. Swaths of Baltimore,
however,
remain
blighted.
Blocks from the elementary
school where she cast her vote,
the Mondawmin neighborhood
— the site of a violent clash
between teens and police after
Freddie Gray’s funeral in 2015, a
focal point in the city’s days-long
uprising triggered by the
25-year-old’s death in police custody — could benefit from such
investments, she said.
“They’re building up that
community,” McCabe said about
Columbia. “Where is that in the
Mondawmin community?”
Lauren Lumpkin and Erin Cox
contributed to this report.

A 13-year-old who was shot on
Tuesday outside his home as he
raked leaves has died, his mother
said.
Jayz Agnew died in a hospital
Friday evening, Juanita Agnew
said. He had been fighting for his
life since he was shot through the
head as he was doing chores in
front of his house in Prince
George’s County.
The
shooting
happened
around 5:20 p.m. in the Hillcrest
Heights area. Police have not said
if Jayz was targeted, nor have
they made an arrest in his
shooting.
Agnew, who said her son
wanted to be an emergency room
doctor, said she is reeling.
“My greatest fear is my son will
not get justice,” she said.
She added that if this can
happen to her son, other children
need to be careful.
“My house is in close proximity
to the elementary school so this
could have happened to any of
the neighborhood children,” she
said.
Her family started a GoFundMe for “help with legal and
investigative expenses” writing:
“Our son Jayz was senselessly
shot in the head while raking
leaves in our front yard. Our Jayz
is a loving gentle child. His only
squabbles are with his little sister
Aaliyah over video games . . . We
will not stop until justice is
served.”
Agnew, 36, said she cannot
imagine why anyone would want
to hurt her son.
“Knowing who he is, I don’t
think he would be able to cause
anyone to be angry at him to the
point of wanting to take his life,”
she said. “He was just being
obedient. I asked him to rake the
leaves.”
Agnew described Jayz as an
eighth-grader who spent most of
his time playing video games or
hanging out with sister Aaliyah,
6. The siblings found stray cats in
their shed last year and decided
to raise them together. Jayz
named his Dawn, and Aaliyah
named hers Lily. The four like to
cuddle together on the couch.
“We have to spread more
awareness on gun control and
better surveillance in the community,” Agnew said.

Slavery, Baltimore’s Lexington Market intersect in artist’s new sculpture
‘Robert and Rosetta’ is
named for captive pair
with ties to historic site
BY

M AYA L ORA

At the historic Lexington Market in Baltimore, an enslaved
man named Robert once sold
butter to local customers.
Robert, who had no recorded
last name, is one of two subjects
at the heart of “Robert and Rosetta,” a sculpture designed by artist
Oletha DeVane, 70, and her son,
Christopher Kojzar, 40.
The sculpture, crafted of steel
and stainless steel by blacksmith
Nicholas Ireys at his shop about a
mile from Lexington Market,
captures the history of slavery at
the market while reflecting the
ornamental ironwork dotted
around Baltimore. It is being
installed in the plaza of the newly
reopened Lexington Market, located in the BROMO Arts District.
DeVane, who lived in Baltimore until she was 13 and now
lives in Ellicott City, said she was
interested in the stories of Robert
and Rosetta because she likes to
look at “where the African American presence is and was, and
especially during that time.” The
origins of Lexington Market can
be traced back to 1782.
Dean Krimmel, a public historian and Baltimore-based museum consultant, worked with
the redevelopment project and
provided DeVane and Kojzar
with documentation about Robert and Rosetta.

KARL MERTON FERRON/BALTIMORE SUN

Oletha DeVane, above, and her son, Christopher Kojzar, designed
the piece being installed in the newly reopened market’s plaza.

“This is really just to have some
reflection on where we’ve been,
where we come from.”
Oletha DeVane, an artist who helped design the sculpture

Krimmel said former Maryland governor George Howard
enslaved Robert and sent him to
sell butter at the market before
Robert later escaped.
Krimmel gleaned the information on Robert from a runaway
notice that ran at least five times
in the Baltimore American &
Commercial Daily Advertiser in
July 1833. A $50 reward was
offered for Robert’s capture.
Rosetta was an enslaved girl
with no recorded last name who
was auctioned off at the market.
The advertisement for her sale
was posted in the Baltimore Sun
in March 1838.
The ads, the only information
available on Robert and Rosetta,
are engraved in granite flagstones as part of the sculpture.
“This is really just to have
some reflection on where we’ve
been, where we come from,” DeVane said. “For me, these two
people who were ordinary people
trying to ... live their lives in some
way, in some fashion, within the
construct of that social system
was very important to kind of
explore.”
The Robert and Rosetta panels
are attached to light posts with
“pretty filigree” at the top, which
DeVane said represents growth
and change. The posts form an
archway, which allows visitors to
pass through the space after encountering the flagstone markers.
DeVane and Kojzar tapped
Ireys to do the metalwork for the
project because they wanted a
more “historic” and “timeless”
feel, Ireys said.
“Even though I’m not one of
the main designers, I was able to
put a lot of myself into this piece,

which was a very rewarding process for me,” Ireys said.
Kojzar, who is doing a fellowship and teaching at the University of Vermont, said acknowledging Black history through everyday people is a thread in both
his and his mother’s work.
Earlier this year, DeVane produced a sculpture for the McDonogh School in Owings Mills
as part of a larger tribute to the
200 men, women and children
who were enslaved by the
school’s founder, John McDonogh, at the time of his death
in 1850. DeVane formerly taught
at McDonogh.
As part of the McDonogh
piece, Kojzar said, DeVane had to
design imagery of individuals
who represented “something so
much larger than the short narrative that was presented about
their lives.”
The same applies to Robert
and Rosetta, he said.
Katie Marshall of Lexington
Market developer Seawall led the
public art component of the market’s redevelopment. She said
merchants, customers and community members asked about
connections between the market
and slavery.
“I think [their] piece is a beautiful tribute to those two individuals, and also an acknowledgment of all the various ways that
enslaved persons interacted with
the market and in Baltimore City
as a whole,” Marshall said.
Ireys said it’s rare for an organization to embrace its “very
checkered past” so openly.
“I’ve never worked on a project
that was so directly representing
difficult social aspects that directly related to the organization

paying for the piece,” Ireys said.
DeVane has loved art since she
watched her father paint in the
dining room. A graduate of the
Maryland Institute College of Art
and the University of Massachusetts, she is a multidisciplinary
artist whose exhibits have been
in museums such as the Reginald
F. Lewis Museum in Baltimore
and the Art Museum of the Americas and the now-closed Corcoran
Gallery of Art in D.C. She previously served as the program director of the Maryland State Arts
Council’s Individual Artists and
Visual Arts programs.
DeVane’s body of work from
the 1980s through 2022 is on
display at the Center for Art,
Design and Visual Culture at the
University of Maryland, Baltimore County. The exhibit, “Oletha DeVane: Spectrum of Light
and Spirit,” features paintings,
works on paper, video and interactive sculpture, such as a piece
visitors can add beads to.
In addition to “Robert and
Rosetta,” the new market will
feature “Food Play” by artists
Ireys, Reed Bmore and Eric
Smith and “Corned Beef and
Flavored Water” by SHAN Wallace. Four 16-foot murals that line
the new plaza were designed by
Ernest Shaw Jr., who has painted
a number of murals throughout
Baltimore.
“[DeVane] is such an incredibly important and well-respected artist in the Baltimore community, the Baltimore art community and beyond,” Marshall
said. “It just felt really right to
have her be one of the primary
artists working on pieces for the
new market.”

‘Very blunt’ with her own party, Spanberger prevails in Va.
SPANBERGER FROM C1

Prince William she did very well,
remember, this was her opponent’s home county.”
Spanberger’s win was among
the first indications that Republicans’ anticipated “red wave” on
Election Day was not going to
materialize. Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball
at the University of Virginia, noted that her success was no outlier,
given Democrats writ large had
far exceeded expectations by
Wednesday morning. In Virginia,
Republicans picked up only one
of three seats they targeted — in
Virginia Beach-anchored District
2, where state Sen. Jen A. Kiggans
(R) ousted Rep. Elaine Luria (D).
Mark Rozell, dean of George
Mason University’s Schar School
of Policy and Government, said
that in a swing district it also
helped Spanberger that Vega had
positioned herself in the primary
as an antiabortion conservative
firebrand, with backing from Sen.
Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and members of
the House Freedom Caucus. Vega
faltered early on after Axios published a tape in which she appeared to cast doubt on rape-related pregnancy — and Spanberger, in a slew of attack ads, used it
to define Vega throughout the
campaign, putting her on the
defense early. Vega later said the
comments had been misconstrued and decried the portrayal
of her.
Still, Rozell said, while a more
moderate opponent might have
led to a tougher campaign for
Spanberger, her trio of narrow
victories since 2018 likely offers
Democrats in competitive turf a
road map for hotly contested
races.
“I think she could be a rising
star in the party,” Rozell said,
noting — as others have — that
Democrats may one day look to
her as a potential statewide contender. “She seems to have the
right formula in that she can hold
the progressive wing of her party
and appeal to swing voters. At the
same time, she projects the image
of a very independent-minded
Democrat who is not afraid to
differ with her party leadership.”
Her profile might be a bit more
difficult to replicate. Spanberger
splashed onto the Virginia political scene in 2017 as a former
officer in federal law enforcement
and the CIA determined to flip a

ANNA ROSE LAYDEN/GETTY IMAGES

Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) celebrates with supporters in Fredericksburg after winning reelection
Tuesday. Her victory over Republican Yesli Vega marked the third consecutive campaign in which she
pulled off a win in a challenging political climate or territory.

Trump-country seat blue for the
first time in 50 years. Illustrating
the challenge: The district’s deep
conservative roots were evident
when Republican voters in 2014
ousted then-House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) — an
anomaly for a sitting House leader — opting in the primary for tea
party Republican Dave Brat.
But anti-Trump sentiment energized suburban voters in the
2018 blue wave — and a class of
Democrats with national security
credibility found success appealing to centrist voters in red districts across the country. Spanberger combined that background with her activist ties as a
former gun-violence prevention
organizer with Moms Demand
Action to build a huge grass-roots
operation spanning liberal and
moderate voters, namely in the
Richmond suburbs, which powered her 2018 and 2020 wins.
But Spanberger didn’t have
that powerhouse network this
year; in the redrawn 7th District,
she had to build one from scratch.
Tonya James, chairwoman of
the Prince William County Democratic Committee, called Spanberger’s campaign “one of the

most effective ground games I’ve
seen happen in Virginia politics
in a while.”
Compared with Vega’s frequent high-energy rallies with
Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), Del.
Candi Mundon King (D) thought
Spanberger was more effective in
person-to-person relationshipbuilding in smaller settings —
private dinners with no photo
opportunities or stump speeches.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who
also frequently campaigned for
Spanberger, agreed, noting sometimes voters who came to modest
meet-and-greets expecting to
hear from Spanberger were taken
aback to find she wanted to hear
from them first, about the issues
top of mind for them.
“I think that makes an impression on people,” Kaine said. “Nobody feels listened to enough, and
maybe, even particularly, nobody
feels listened to enough by people
in politics. And Abigail is, like,
immediately front and center,
putting that question out to people in a way that I think left a
really positive impression with
them.”
Mundon King, who represents
parts of Prince William and

Stafford counties — the heart of
the district — said she met with
the congresswoman early on, impressing on her the importance of
the numerous diverse communities there, wanting to ensure they
would not be glossed over. Spanberger didn’t disappoint, Mundon King said. “She spent time in
the Ethiopian community. She
spent time in the Ghanaian community. She spent time in West
Indian restaurants talking about
the issues that impact these communities,” Mundon King said.
And while she often discussed
bread-and-butter issues like
transportation and infrastructure investments that resonate
across the political spectrum in
the commuter-heavy district,
Mundon King noted, she addressed abortion rights “head
on.”
“Her campaign was not afraid
to talk about abortion and to talk
about the fears, the real fears and
anxiety that a lot of women and
families were experiencing as
they saw their fundamental right
to make decisions about their
bodies being taken away,” Mundon King said.
Spanberger acknowledged the

role that the overturning of Roe v.
Wade played in the campaign this
year. “I think it played a significant role,” she said, describing it
as a key driver of a general sense
of “unease” about the future she
encountered from voters — or a
sense, she said, that everything in
politics is “broken.”
That’s part of the reason she
aggressively promoted her bipartisan credentials during the campaign, pushing legislation such as
a stock-trading ban and police
grant funding, even as Vega and
national Republicans ran numerous attack ads and repeated applause lines at rallies noting she
“votes with Nancy Pelosi 100 percent of the time.” Addressing the
criticism, Spanberger said she
believes it creates a false narrative of zero-sum, binary politics,
where agreement with “the top
boogeyman Democrat” means
“you are automatically in opposition with all Republicans — when
that’s not the case.” In fact, she
said, many of the bills did have
Republican votes.
She was fixated early in her
tenure on making sure Republican constituents could see her as
their representative, too, even if
they disagreed. She said she was
struck shortly after taking office
in 2019 by the number of people
who called needing help with
Social Security or veterans’ issues
— but who seemed to add a
caveat: You should know I didn’t
vote for her.
“This frenzy around politics,
that people would feel the need to
be honest and get that out there,
thinking it might hurt my inclination to help them — that to me
was like a sad reality, which is
why the team is so aggressive
about, ‘Oh we serve everyone, it
doesn’t matter,’ ” Spanberger said.
Spanberger’s appeals on bipartisanship were evident in a campaign ad featuring former Republican Virginia congressman Denver Riggleman that was intended
to appeal to crossover voters. “In
Congress, the parties sit apart
and don’t work together — except
Abigail Spanberger,” Riggleman
said. In the final days of the
campaign, Rep. Liz Cheney (RWyo.), the former No. 3 leader of
House Republicans who was
largely excised by the party for
her disavowal of Trump’s false
stolen-election claims, also endorsed Spanberger, one of just
three congressional Democrats

Cheney has backed.
Vega, though she avoided talking about Trump, haltingly accepted his endorsement in the
final leg of the race.
Since the losses, Virginia Republicans have been in somewhat
of an intraparty brouhaha assessing why the red wave did not
come. Lt. Gov. Winsome EarleSears (R) and Del. Tim Anderson
(R-Virginia Beach) both blamed
Trump in part, saying that his
desire to remain the leader of the
party and run in 2024 is hurting
Republicans in competitive races
— assessments that Trump’s team
and some of his big supporters in
Virginia have rejected.
“If there was any time for
moderate Democrats to come our
way, it was this year,” Anderson
said, “And they didn’t, because
when they look over at us, all they
see is Trump Republicans.”
Rozell, the political scientist,
said Republicans might also need
to look beyond a “generic” Republican playbook that seeks to tie
Spanberger to House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should
they want to beat her in the
future. He noted he found the
attack lacked credibility among
voters, considering Spanberger
has at times spoken out against
Democratic leadership and policies.
Kaine and Warner each identified that as one ingredient contributing to Spanberger’s victory
Tuesday. She emerged as a vocal
critic within the caucus of “defund the police” rhetoric and the
Democratic Party’s messaging
failures in an underwhelming
performance in 2020. And she
publicly called for new Democratic House leadership over Pelosi’s
handling of legislation Spanberger pushed to ban stock trading
among members of Congress.
“She’s very blunt,” as Kaine put it,
noting she “is who she is,” even if
it makes the caucus or the speaker or the White House bristle.
Spanberger’s core strength,
Kaine said, is marching to the
beat of her own drum.
“If I had any questions about,
hmm, after 2021, who is the Virginia electorate? And who’s the
kind of person that they will vote
for? The results in Virginia last
Tuesday night confirmed in my
mind, okay, I know who the Virginia electorate is. I know what
they’re looking for,” Kaine said.

Another 70-degree November day keeps the crispness of autumn at bay
BY

M ARTIN W EIL

As we trek deeper into November, and closer to winter, it might
have been asking a lot for Saturday
in Washington to repeat the unusual warmth of Friday. And it
didn’t. But it fell short by only a
single degree.
The thermal exuberance that
has endowed us with so many
70-degree November days continued unabated Saturday.
As of 4 p.m., the mercury here

had spent hours in the 70s, and
reached a high of 72 degrees.
That was one degree less than
Friday’s 73, and both were well
above average. Saturday exceeded
the average high for the date by 13
degrees. It was five below the
record of 77.
Some may have found our recent run of days in the 70s pleasant, while others may have been
troubled by their deviation from
the norm. Many may long for the
crispness embodied in the prom-

ise and image of autumn.
But meteorological reality tells
us that of the 12 days this month,
Saturday was the ninth with a high
in the 70s. One day was even
warmer, and reached 81.
Friday provided an almost tangible sense of immersion in a flow
of warm, moist air streaming
toward us with the remnants of
Tropical Storm Nicole.

of Friday in temperature, did not
seem to include quite the same

humid stickiness. But neither did
it seem devoid of its muggy
moments.
Friday seemed almost totally
gray, but Saturday seemed to
provide more sightings of the sun,
and more patches of blue sky.
By now, the brilliant peak of fall
foliage seems to have departed.
But when the sun appeared Saturday, even the tattered and yellowed leaves that remained shone
at their best advantage.
Here and there, leafy screens of

pale yellow and faded green
gleamed as if in a spotlight.
In addition, the baring of the
branches of trees raised a curtain
on the longer vistas, natural and
architectural, that show up in the
cold weather season.
Far-off windows sparkled in the
sunlight, and brick walls glowed at
a distance, after being hidden for

Delayed and over budget, Silver Line crawled to completion

on and on and on for too long,” he
said. “MWAA is not an expert at
building transit.”
But McKay said the deficiencies came with an undeniable
upside: money. He said the project would not have happened
without cash from the MWAAmanaged Dulles Toll Road, which
covered a large portion of construction costs. Plenty of the
problems also were not of
MWAA’s making, he added, noting the authority had to answer to
numerous public boards and
Metro itself.
On the eve of rail service to
Dulles International Airport and
Loudoun County, a project decades in the making, McKay said
the problems “almost seem like
sideshows to the fact that, my
God, we got this done and it’s
getting ready to open.”
John E. “Jack” Potter, a former
U.S. postmaster general who has
led the airports authority for
more than a decade, acknowledged disappointment with some
aspects of the project.
“When it comes to where we
ended up, nobody’s proud that
there were delays. Nobody is
proud that we ended over budget,” Potter said. “That was not our
intent.”
He added: “I don’t think there’s
any one entity that has blame. …
I’m sure in hindsight, everyone
would tell you what they could do
a little bit better. But at the end of
the day, it’s not as if we weren’t
aggressively managing it.”
The opening of the Washington-area megaproject comes as
the nation is advancing toward its
largest transit investment in history under last year’s infrastructure bill. Experts said the nation’s
transit builders need to work
more efficiently in a country with
some of the world’s highest transit construction costs.
“If projects slip on schedule
and budget, it really hurts confidence in government being able
to do stuff,” said Eric Goldwyn,
co-author of a recent New York
University study of transit costs
that used data from 900 projects
in 59 countries. The research
found average costs in the United
States were the sixth-highest.
The Silver Line extension’s second phase will complete a rail line
that debuted more than eight
years ago, a project that added
five Metro stations spanning Tysons and Reston. In both phases
of the project, MWAA was responsible for construction and oversight before handing the rail system over to Metro for passenger
operations.
Back in September 2013, Potter
set lofty aspirations for the vast
work ahead.
“Mr. Potter said that the overall
goal is to make the Metrorail
project the best run public transportation project in the country,”
according to minutes at a meeting of MWAA’s board of directors.
That optimism came several
months after the authority selected Clark Construction Group and

Kiewit Infrastructure South to
build the extension to Ashburn.
Their partnership, Capital Rail
Constructors (CRC), in April 2013
offered the lowest price to build
the line and its six stations. The
$1.18 billion bid bested one by
Bechtel, which was still working
on the Silver Line’s first phase, by
just $14 million.
The bid came in $200 million
to $400 million below what
MWAA expected. The authority
hoped the savings would make up
for cost overruns that plagued
Phase 1, which opened six months
late in summer 2014 and, according to MWAA, was $226 million
over budget.
Less than a year into Phase 2’s
construction, which began that
same year, those hopes were
quickly dashed.
The authority announced it
would incorporate new state and
federal rules for storm water
management as part of the project, rather than seek an exemption. The decision delayed completion of the project by more
than a year while adding tens of
millions to the costs as officials at
Capital Rail Constructors scrambled to incorporate the new requirements into their designs.
The project would never regain
its footing.
As more problems surfaced,
that delay ultimately stretched to
four years. The once-cordial relationship between the airports authority, its contractors and Metro
began to fray as the parties bickered.
The fact that Metro was not in
charge of building the rail line it
would operate, and did not have a
financial stake in its construction, contributed to the project’s
complexity, Potter said. “The ultimate owner did not participate in
the construction other than as an
adviser,” he said.
In response, Metro said in a
statement that “understandably,
projects of this scale are complex
and we have worked closely with
MWAA throughout construction
to ensure the Silver Line meets
Metro’s standards for the existing
system.”
That arrangement left MWAA
to mediate disputes between the
contractors it hired and Metro.
Potter said the passage of time
also
added
complications.
Though MWAA oversaw construction, Fairfax and Loudoun
counties had significant financial
stakes in the Silver Line, while the
Federal Transit Administration
had an oversight role.
“When you have a project that
runs better than a decade, you
have changing administrations of
all partners,” Potter said. “A
changed board is not necessarily
wedded to the commitments that
were made decades ago.”
Other delays stemmed from
unforeseen site conditions. To
provide utilities such as water
and electricity to the stations,
workers had to tunnel beneath
the Dulles Toll Road. The rock
proved to be harder than expected, so the contractor abandoned
plans to use boring machines.

The Metro rail yard at Dulles International Airport in July 2019. It is set to be a key hub connecting downtown D.C. to wealthy Loudoun
County, Va. Its completion last December was three years later than planned, adding tens of millions of dollars to the project’s cost.

“I’m sure in hindsight,
everyone would tell you
what they could do a
little bit better. But at
the end of the day,
it’s not as if we
weren’t aggressively
managing it.”
John E. “Jack” Potter, president and
CEO of the Metropolitan Washington
Airports Authority

Instead, tons of rock was dug out
by hand and carried away in
five-gallon buckets.
Other issues with materials
and the subcontractors that provided them raised questions
about quality control and
MWAA’s oversight. The problems
forced project officials to redo or
pause work while engineers
sought to find the root causes of
defective structures.
In July 2015, cracks were found
in girders that supported the
tracks at the Dulles station. In
April 2018, project officials discovered substandard concrete
was used to make panels that
were installed at five stations,
which could allow water to seep
into structures, causing cracking.
Project officials learned issues
with concrete panels were even
more serious a month later, when
a whistleblower’s 2016 lawsuit
became public alleging the company that manufactured the pan-

els, Universal Concrete, also had
falsified inspection reports. One
person pleaded guilty in connection with the case, admitting he
had falsified records intended to
verify the quality and longevity of
the panels. The Department of
Justice and Virginia also sued the
company, which admitted no
wrongdoing but agreed to settle
for $1 million.
Later in 2018, officials confirmed problems with concrete
rail ties that Metro feared could
cause trains to lean when traveling over certain areas of track.
Problems also surfaced at the
Dulles rail yard built as part of the
project. A platform at a building
meant to house trains had to be
removed and rebuilt because its
dimensions were wrong. There
also were cracks on rail yard
buildings and problems with
track beds that could cause tracks
to shift.
As a result, a rail yard that was
expected to be finished in December 2018 wasn’t completed until
December 2021, adding tens of
millions of dollars. MWAA officials themselves sometimes
seemed at a loss to explain the
delays.
“It’s hard to say why we need
that extra time … at this point,”
Charles Stark, then-executive director of the rail project, said in
2019.
As time wore on, finger-pointing intensified. MWAA battled
with contractors over deadlines,
routinely insisting companies
find ways to make up for lost
time.
In letters sent that same year,
Stark wrote that the quality-assurance program of Coloradobased Hensel Phelps — in charge
of building the Dulles rail yard —

appeared to be “ineffective or
nonexistent.” The contractor
fired back, saying schedule delays
were the result of “MWAA’s mismanagement and slow response
to issues that arise on the project.”
Metro’s inspector general also
highlighted the dysfunction in a
2020 report, noting that efforts to
resolve issues were hampered by
a lack of follow-through by
MWAA and its contractors.
That same year, MWAA and its
contractors also found themselves dealing with the impacts of
a pandemic that slowed work on
the project and created supply
chain challenges.
Throughout the project, Metro
didn’t always approve of what
was built, frustrating some
MWAA officials because the transit agency didn’t have to deal with
the financial consequences.
One such case concerned a
dispute over insulator covers to
protect rail power-cable connections, colloquially known as “orange boots.” A top MWAA engineering official told local officials
the rail contract listed two manufacturers of orange boots approved for the project. After
crews finished installing the
boots made by one approved
manufacturer, Metro wanted
them replaced with those made
by the other, according to MWAA,
which said the midstream change
slowed the project.
Boots that were installed
lacked a tight seal, and Metro said
in a statement this month that
“based on joint inspections and
comparisons of the two boots by
Metro and MWAA, a joint decision was made that we needed a
better fit to resist water.”
Metro executives have emphasized the importance of ensuring

the system is safe and would not
require additional costly maintenance.
One result of delays was rising
costs, as contractors laid the
groundwork to be compensated
for what they said were years of
alterations made to their expected work.
“Both contractors are clearly
positioning themselves for delay
claims at the Project’s completion,” a Federal Transit Administration contractor said as part of
an oversight report in 2019.
Ultimately, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post over the summer, the
airports authority agreed to make
additional payments to the lead
contractors, settling disputes that
could have gone to court.
CRC will receive $207 million
to cover roughly 130 change orders, including costs for an additional six months of oversight of
the line until it was handed over
to Metro. The cost of replacing
orange boots was also on the list.
The company declined to address the causes of cost overruns
and delays or its financial standing on the project. In a statement,
it praised the “extraordinary
team effort … including years of
collaboration and expert advice
from all sides to mutually agree
on the resolution of all issues.”
Hensel Phelps, the rail yard
contractor, received an additional $46 million, which covered
more than 20 change orders,
some of which included increases
in the cost of building materials
such as concrete and asphalt. An
additional 16 change orders were
not included and will be negotiated separately.
The company did not address
questions about the reason for
delays, saying in a recent statement “we are excited that we have
reached resolution to the yard
project and WMATA will start
operation next week.”
Some of the problems echo
those identified in research by
New York University’s Transit
Costs Project. Issues increasing
costs include ineffective decisionmaking among disparate partners, insufficient expertise for
handling contractors, trouble
managing utility work and excessive use of contingencies, which
researchers called “especially notable as bad practice.”
The use of contingency funds
should decrease over time, researchers found, writing that “if
the money is already allocated in
the budget, there is no incentive
not to spend it.” In contrast, the
use of contingencies rose between phases in the Silver Line
project.
Rep. Gerald E. Connolly
(D-Va.), a longtime supporter of
the rail extension, said he would
give MWAA a medium grade for
its management of the project.
“MWAA, in retrospect, could
have done a better job, but I’m not
really going to second-guess
MWAA’s overall management,”
Connolly said. “It was big. It was
ambitious. And it was difficult.”
Days before the line opens,
McKay, the Fairfax County official, credited MWAA and others
for their tenacity, saying, “this, I
think, will go down as the most
successful infrastructure project
in the history of Virginia,” noting
that it will enable communities to
flourish along the new line.
Asked if the airports authority
could have done one thing differently to avoid the difficulties it
encountered while managing
construction, Potter smiled: “Let
somebody else do it.”

VIRGINIA

State education officials float revisions to history, social studies guidelines
BY

J OE H EIM

The Virginia Department of
Education proposed revisions to
the commonwealth’s history and
social science learning standards
late Friday in a move that would
significantly alter the guidelines
it had previously recommended
and prompted a blistering response from critics who described it as political meddling.
The Virginia Board of Education had been scheduled to vote
on the recommended guidelines
in August but it held off to give its
five new members — appointees
of Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) —
more time to review the standards, and to allow for additional
public comment. The original
guidelines were developed over
months in consultation with museums, historians, professors, political scientists, geographers,
economists, teachers, parents
and students.
In the introduction to its new
draft, the education department
writes that the aim of the standards overhaul is “to restore
excellence, curiosity and excite-

ment around teaching and learning history.”
“The standards will recognize
the world impact of America’s
quest for a ‘more perfect Union’
and the optimism, ideals and
imagery captured by Ronald Reagan’s ‘shining city upon a hill’
speech,” the document continues.
“Students will know our nation’s
exceptional strengths, including
individual innovation, moral
character, ingenuity and adventure, while learning from terrible
periods and actions in direct
conflict with these ideals.”
In a fact sheet sent to state
legislators obtained by The
Washington Post, the education
department said the changes
were made because the “August
2022 draft standards were unnecessarily difficult for educators
to understand and implement;
they were also inaccessible for
parents and families.” It said the
new proposed standards would
revise “repetitive and vague
skills-based standards, which
teachers could interpret in infinitely various ways, thus not
resulting in ‘a shared knowledge

as Virginians and as U.S. citizens.’ ”
But critics said the new standards are politically motivated
and interfere with the ability of
teachers to do their jobs and
deliver impartial academic instruction and curriculum.
“The standards are full of overt
political bias, outdated language
to describe enslaved people and
American Indians, highly subjective framing of American moralism and conservative ideals, coded racist overtures throughout,
requirements for teachers to present histories of discrimination
and racism as ‘balanced’ ‘without
personal or political bias,’ and
restrictions on allowance of
‘teacher-created
curriculum,’
which is allowed in all other
subject areas,” James J. Fedderman, president of the Virginia
Education Association, a union
representing more than 40,000
education workers in the commonwealth, wrote in a statement.
By law Virginia is required to
reassess and update its History
and Social Science Standards of

Learning, known as SOLs, every
seven years. The standards — last
updated in 2015 — provide general guidance on what subjects and
areas must be taught, but the
specifics of curriculums are
mostly determined by individual
school districts.
State Sen. Jennifer B. Boysko
(D-Fairfax) said she was disappointed the new standards didn’t
address the contributions of the
large and varied communities
from Central and South America
and Asia who are a significant
part of Virginia’s population. She
also said it was important for
students to learn about history
even if it was difficult and sometimes uncomfortable.
“Especially in the world right
now with social media really
sectioning people off so that
they’re not listening to a broader
array of information, we need to
make sure that in schools students have a safe opportunity to
engage with some of these challenging concepts so that they are
fully informed,” she said.
Boysko also criticized the new
standards for not emphasizing

the responsibility students have
as citizens to participate fully in
society.
“What I want to see is that all
students understand that they
can contribute to making the
world a better place as opposed
to just memorizing facts and
dates about people who have
contributed to history,” she said.
Others, though, supported the
department’s changes .
“History is a function of human nature, conflict, and progress. It can be inspiring, it can be
dark, and it can be challenging to
teach and learn,” Ian Prior, a
Loudoun County parent, former
Trump administration official
and founder of the education
advocacy group Fight For
Schools, wrote in a statement.
“. . . Applied correctly by educators in the classroom, [the proposed changes] will unlock key
critical thinking skills that students can use to make their own
analysis and decision as they
mature into young leaders.”
Education was a key issue in
last year’s governor’s race, and
Youngkin campaigned on pledg-

es to put parents in charge of
learning. During his first week in
office, Youngkin, who is often
mentioned as a possible Republican presidential candidate in
2024, issued an executive order
forbidding the teaching of “inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory,” an
academic framework that examines how policies and laws perpetuate systemic racism in the
United States.
“This effort to revive social
studies content is the latest in a
series of efforts by the governor
to shape education along the
lines of his preferences,” said
Stephen Farnsworth, a political
scientist at the University of
Mary Washington. “The governor
may be walking into a fight with
educators, but that can’t possibly
be a surprise to him at this point.”
The board is expected to vote
on the new standards early next
year. If approved, the standards
would begin being taught in the
2024-2025 school year.

this report.

Two Pr. George’s teens are breaking
down barriers, winning titles in rodeo
RODEO FROM C1

In the arenas where they have
competed across the country, Hall
and Jackson, who are Black, had
not seen many champions who
look like them.
They smiled, used to performing. Few truly understand the dedication and athleticism behind
their seemingly improbable wins:
Hall, Maryland High School Rodeo
Association all-around cowgirl
and rodeo queen, and Jackson, the
2020 Junior World Finals bull riding champion.
It has taken years of discipline
and sacrifice to get here, and the
support of families determined to
see their children excel while
breaking down any barriers.
Rodeo queen
Morissa asked her father for a
horse when she was in first grade.
She initially wanted a dirt bike,
but they were all too big for her at
the time, she said.
Morse Hall III, now 50, entertained his only daughter’s request
and told her it was possible — if she
brought home straight A’s from
school.
For seven years, she did.
“I really think that first time I
achieved straight A’s, [the horse]
might’ve been motivation,” she
said. “After a while, I forgot about
the horse. … So, it’s just a standard
I hold for myself.”
Her father, however, had not
forgotten about the horse. The licensed physical therapist had to
find a way to fulfill his end of the
bargain he made when the pair
was living in a one-bedroom apartment in D.C.
“When you see a kid or a person
excel like that for that long, it
shows you their level of commitment,” he said. “I had to make it
happen. I couldn’t say, ‘You’ll grow
out of it.’ I was an honors student
all the way through college, but I
never made seven years of consecutive A’s.”
Morse took on more shifts, added extra clients and worked at a
feverish pace until his nest egg
grew enough to purchase a horse.
It eventually dawned on him that
Morissa would need a place for the
horse to live. So, he began looking
at properties around Prince
George’s County that would be big
enough for the both of them and a
horse — or four.
Morse and Morissa’s mother,
Terry Moriarty, 60, also had family
connections to horses.
Moriarty, a nurse and clinical
research nurse manager, grew up
in Landover Hills with a father
who had family horses in Tennessee she would sometimes visit
throughout her childhood. Morse’s
maternal great grandparents had
workhorses on their farm, and he
had relatives who used draft horses for farming, in Front Royal, Va.
He also had an uncle in Prince
George’s County who had a stable
with a friend that held up to 20
horses, he said.
When Moriarty and Morse were
together, they would often take
weekend trips to Virginia to ride
horses, and his family gatherings
often had ponies for young children to ride, Moriarty said.
His passion would lead to multiple trips to the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo, a rodeo that celebrates Black cowboys and cowgirls and a strong connection to
Corey Jackson, Nic Jackson’s father. The two rodeo fathers have
formed a bond that has blossomed
into a brotherhood in which they
talk all things rodeo and marvel at
the athletic heights their children

have reached.
Morse eventually found an 11acre fixer-upper, when Morissa
was about 6 years old, that would
serve as home for Morissa, her
future horses and her rodeo
dreams.
She put in the work. So much
work that Alsobrooks proclaimed
Oct. 24 Morissa Hall Day in honor
of her accomplishments: being
named Maryland High School rodeo queen for two years by the
Maryland High School Rodeo Association and snatching other titles in rodeo while remaining an
honors student at Elizabeth Seton
High School, a private all-girls
Catholic school in Bladensburg,
Md.
Morse is a self-taught rodeo instructor for Morissa who brings in
outside help when he knows he has
reached his level of teaching her.
Her achievements give him goose
bumps, he said.
Still, Morse and Moriarty think
about how Morissa could achieve
more with the advantages her
competitors often have: generational wealth, access to more horses and training.
“It’s like you go to a Ferrari
racecar track with a Yugo. It
doesn’t matter how good of a driver you are, you still got a Yugo,”
Morse said. “As her father, I want
her to be competitive. I want to
give her a shot. She has to have a
better horse. … It’s nothing for
these kids to have a $200,000
horse.”
For now, Morissa is focused on
her grades, upcoming competition
and where she might go to college
— hopefully on a rodeo scholarship.
Fifth-generation cowboy
The costs of participating in
equine sports pile up, said Robyn
Jackson, Nic Jackson’s mom: Paying for riding shoes, hay for horses
and places to ride them all lock
children out of participating.
Though local nonprofits and charities help families bypass some of
those expenses, making more Morissa Halls and Nicholas Jacksons
in Prince George’s County will not
be easy, she said.
“It’s very difficult to kind of not
have any connections to this life,”
she said. “I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s very difficult … it’s
very prohibitive for lots of families
of color … families in general.”
Nic became interested in rodeo
after watching the sport on television. At just 3 years old, he started
mutton busting, or riding sheep,
against other children. After aging
out of the sport, it was natural for
him to enter bull riding, which he
described as “like a dance” because
of the countermoves required to
work with the bull.
“I think it’s taught me to show
respect to the animals, too, because they’re out there doing their
job just as well as we are,” he said.
Jackson, 41, has birthed her
family’s fifth generation of cowboys and cowgirls.
In addition to Nic, her 12-yearold twin daughters, Ryan and Reagan, are making names for themselves in rodeo competitions, and
9-year-old Dylan seems to be captivated with bull riding, like Nic.
“I don’t know that these kids
would be excelling as they are had I
not I had a leg up, you know. My
dad had a leg up,” she said. “Although I did not [do] rodeo as a
child, we had the leg up at the
property available. We had the
know about the horses.”
Jackson’s ancestors were sharecroppers in Prince George’s County during the Reconstruction era,

and her family’s history with horses began as they were tasked with
caring for work mules and horses,
she said.
That skill would travel across
generations and leave an indelible
memory with her late father — well
into the civil rights era. As a young
boy living on the land his family
continued to work for years, he
remembered a time when he wanted to ride a pony that belonged to
the land owner.
The owner told her father that
he would not know anything about
the pony and that it was best to
stick with the work mules and
horses his family handled for a
living, she said. That denial, she
believes, spurred her father to
prove that owner wrong well into
his own adulthood.
Jackson’s father, Robert Harper
Sr., purchased a wooded, nearly
10-acre area of land in Upper Marlboro, Md., built a home on it and
brought horses he had boarded
elsewhere in the county to his
property, she said.
She would later find a life partner who devotes himself to learning as much as he can about horses
as her father had.
Corey Jackson, 46, a WinstonSalem, N.C., native, fell in love with
horses by watching Saturday
morning “shoot’em-ups,” or westerns, with his grandfather. As a
child, whenever there was a rodeo
that came to town, he made sure he
was there.
Jackson displayed some impressive tricks with his horse at the Bill
Pickett Invitational Rodeo, where
they first met, despite not growing
up with horses, Robyn said.
A few months passed without
seeing one another until they attended a Western cabaret where
she was decked out in full Western
attire.
“At that moment, it was on,”
Corey Jackson said. She was the
one.
The marriage would yield a life
with five children, eight horses, six
bulls and a full rodeo arena in the
backyard where four of the children sharpen their rodeo talents
when they are not being homeschooled.
On a typical day, Nic finishes his
schoolwork around 3 p.m. before
heading out to “buck the dummy”
or ride a dummy bull that simulates riding. He’ll then get one of
his bulls to get real-life experience.
Though he is aware that he hails
from a long line of cowboys, Black
cowboys at that, he does not much
think about being different from
others when he travels at least 11
months out of the year to compete.
“There’s usually a small group of
[Black kids]. We all see each other
at most of the bigger rodeos we go
to,” he said, noting that he never
focused on the quantity. “I never
thought of it that way.”
College is still some years off for
Nic, so he is just enjoying the dancing feeling of bull riding.
More opportunities?
The Jacksons and the Halls note
they often travel out of state, adding to the costs of the sport, because there simply are not enough
local high school rodeo competitions in the area.
One of Morissa’s goals is to expand exposure to the sport and to
increase the number of people in
Maryland who compete.
“When you go to all these big
shows, a lot of people don’t know
what Maryland is or where it is,”
she said giggling at having to explain the state’s proximity to the
White House.
Morissa recently asked Also-

was honored how the county could
aid in increasing exposure to rodeo
and help grow the Maryland High
School Rodeo Association, which
is one of the smallest high school
chapters in the country, and host
more rodeos in the area, reducing
the need for rodeo competitors to
travel out of state.
It appears Alsobrooks has been
mulling over Morissa’s question.
“In addition to hosting world
class competitions like the Washington International Horse Show,
we will certainly be seeking ways
to identify funding for improvements and other needs that will
allow us to host rodeo competitions right here at home,” Alsobrooks said in a statement.

MARIA LUCRECIA BARANICK
(Age 51)

A SSOCIATED P RESS

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

“Calling it animation doesn’t do it
justice. It’s more like mythology.”

BRENTON
PATRICK MICHAEL BRENTON

Kevin Conroy

the contrasting voices, he said,
came from the 1930s film “The
Scarlet Pimpernel,” about a
foppish-seeming English aristocrat who leads a secret life as a
dashing hero rescuing victims of
the French Revolution’s Reign of
Terror.
“It’s so much fun as an actor to
sink your teeth into,” Mr. Conroy
told the New York Times of his
Batman role in 2016. “Calling it
animation doesn’t do it justice.
It’s more like mythology.”
As Mr. Conroy’s performance
evolved over the years, it sometimes connected to his own life.
He described his own father as an
alcoholic and said his family disintegrated while he was in high
school. He channeled those emotions into the 1993 animated film
“Mask of the Phantasm,” which
revolved around Bruce Wayne’s
unsettled issues with his parents.
“Andrea came in after the recording and grabbed me in a
hug,” Mr. Conroy told the Holly-

wood Reporter in 2018. “Andrea
said, ‘I don’t know where you
went, but it was a beautiful performance.’ She knew I was drawing on something.”
Mr. Conroy is survived by his
husband, Vaughn C. Williams; a
sister; and a brother.
In “Finding Batman,” released
earlier this year, Mr. Conroy
penned a comic about his unlikely journey with the character and
as a gay man in Hollywood.
“I’ve often marveled at how
appropriate it was that I should
land this role,” he wrote. “As a gay
boy growing up in the 1950s and
’60s in a devoutly Catholic family,
I’d grown adept at concealing
parts of myself.”
The voice that emerged from
Mr. Conroy for Batman, he said,
was one he didn’t recognize — a
voice that “seemed to roar from
30 years of frustration, confusion,
denial, love, yearning.”
“I felt Batman rising from deep
within.”

Patrick Michael Brenton, 79,
passed away early in the
morning on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 with his family
by his side in Germantown,
MD. He was born on October
17, 1943 in Burlington, WI to Cecil Willard
Brenton and Lenore Cecile Brenton (neé

GRIFFITH

CAROL ANN FRIEDLEY GRIFFITH

Carol Ann Friedley Gri th died on October
29, 2022, at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver
Spring, MD. The cause was respiratory failure due to complications of COVID-19.
Carol was born in Delhi, NY in 1941, the
first child of the Rev. Charles R. and Dorothy
Friedley. She was valedictorian of her senior
class at Deposit High School and graduated
from Houghton College in 1962 with a BA
in English. At age 21, Carol had her parents
drop her o with her luggage at the YWCA
in downtown Washington, DC, a city where
she knew no one and had no job prospects.
Washington and all its cultural o erings
must have seemed like a wonderland to this
small-town minister’s daughter. Eventually
her sisters, Ginny and Kathie, joined her to
live in DC as well.

Carol joined the sta of the magazine Christianity Today, where she served as editor for
many years, leaving eventually to join the
Center for Ethics and Public Policy. In 1968
she married James E. Gri th. They settled
in the Chevy Chase section of DC, with a
weekend house in Shady Side, MD. Living
in the city suited Carol well; she was devoted to the arts and often attended 3 and 4
cultural events in a week in both Washington and New York City, where she traveled
frequently. At home she surrounded herself
with books, art, and music, taking great care
to arrange the details of her life artfully. An
accomplished pianist, she took lessons all
her life, and she was active in the music
program at her church, the Metropolitan
Memorial United Methodist Church.
Upon retirement, Carol and Jim moved to
Five Star Senior Living in Chevy Chase, MD.
After Jim died in 2018, Carol continued to
lead a full and independent life until the onset of health problems in October 2021. But,
while the last year of her life was challenging, she remained cheerful and optimistic
until the end, spending her days immersed
in the beloved books that had been her constant companions throughout her life.
During the pandemic Carol, Ginny, and Kathie started meeting at Point of Rocks, MD, to
sit by the Potomac River in the sun. Carol
didn’t want a funeral or memorial service,
and we are planning a family outing in
spring to scatter her ashes and celebrate
her life. She is survived by her sisters, Ginny
Weinstock and Kathie Friedley, brother-inlaw Robert Weinstock, nieces Sara Kowalski
and Andrea Weinstock, and nephew Jake
Endres.

WESSELS

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

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

In Q&A, Bowser discusses priorities for her third term
The Post asks about
housing, schools and
how D.C. will change
BY

J ULIE Z AUZMER W EIL

On Nov. 8, Muriel E. Bowser
(D) won a third term as mayor of
Washington, in an expected victory in this heavily Democratic city.
The Washington Post sat down
with Bowser ahead of the election
to ask about schools, development and the term that Bowser
has promised will be “the comeback” from the pandemic years. A
selection of Bowser’s answers are
below; the interview has been
condensed.
Q: When you talk about coming

out of the pandemic, how would
you rate how D.C. is doing right
now in this long recovery?
A: How are we doing? You’re
asking somebody who is very
impatient that question. … Our
economic strategy right now is
focused on how we get our workers back but also how we replace
activity in our downtown commercial corridors where we won’t
see the same number of workers.
That focus will be on housing. It
will also be on broadening our
events and visitation because of
organic D.C. things like our parades and festivals, our streateries, our murals.
Q: What do you think will look

different about D.C. a few years
from now?
A: We are prepared to be bold and
transformational in our recommendations. We’re going to study
ways to increase affordable housing in high-opportunity areas. I

would include the downtown in
that. I think one benefit of covid is
that we saw how to use our public
spaces differently. I am pushing
my team right now to think about
all of the opportunities to transform public space so that we can
bring more people to all parts of
the city.
Q: How would you characterize

the direction the D.C. Council is
moving and your relationship
with the council?
A: I think my relationship with
the council is what it should be. A
mayor works with councils to set
a bold vision for the city, introduce budgets that help delivery
on that bold vision, and work
with the council members on
what we need policy-wise and
legislatively to get those things
done. Likewise, it’s our job, when
the council members have proposals, to make sure that they’re
best for the city.
Q: There’s this perception in the

media and elsewhere of an increasingly liberal council and a
moderate mayor, and there’s tension. Do you think that’s right?
A: We’re all kind of progressive in
this city. Our policy differences
really aren’t that big. Sometimes
they are, but if I had to add up all
the pieces of legislation in a session, I’m willing to bet that we
agree on 90 percent of things.
When I look at our budget deliberations, we have almost a $20
billion budget. We might argue
over $100 million worth of items.
I think policy-wise we’re very
close, but people do expect the
mayor to be the voice for the
whole city. Where there are differences — it’s not about personalities. It’s not about the mayor not
getting along with the council. It’s
none of that. It’s just that I believe

that the chief executive, and I
know the voters believe this too,
is responsible for setting the tone
of how the government will approach big issues.
Q: Do you feel like people have

trust in the people you have running agencies and running government? [The Post asked Bowser specifically about Ernest
Chrappah, who led the recently
dismantled Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs and
whom Bowser intends to keep in
leadership of part of the agency,
and the leaders of the D.C. Housing Authority, as well as recently
resigned Deputy Mayor Christopher Geldart.]
A: Absolutely. What D.C. residents know about me is that if I
need to make a change, I’m going
to make a change. If there’s something difficult that happens in the
government, I’m going to tell
them and course-correct. They
also know that in a government of
37,000 employees, on any given
day something can go wrong.
They want to know that we have a
framework to deal with it.
Q: Among people I talk to, the

most commonly dissatisfied
group is parents.
A: Really?
Q: Parents are often frustrated.
Their kids were out of school for a
long time. Maybe they’re having
trouble coming back.
A: I don’t get that impression
from parents. That’s not to say
there aren’t things that we can do
in each school, but what I hear is
that we have free pre-K3 and
pre-K4 and those kids have come
back. … We know there was a lot
of frustration around covid-related closures. … Our schools were
the first open in the region. We
were able to make huge invest-

ments in air filtration early, in
covid testing early, in rapid testing early, in reaching an agreement with the Washington Teachers’ Union to bring teachers back
in the classroom.
Q: And now that they are open,
what needs to be done to get
schools back on track?
A: What I’ve heard from teachers
and school leaders is this feels
like a normal school year. We
didn’t go in with any restrictions,
because of how this community
stood together to fight covid. … It
should feel like a normal school
year. And more than that, parents
should know that there are a lot of
supports out there for enrichment: one-on-one tutoring, extracurricular activities, paid internships for students. I think that
we’re going to continue to have
more ideas. Nationwide, the math
performance is what is really on
everybody’s mind. So I’m going to
ask the public education team if
some of these out-of-school enrichment activities, if it’s worth it
just to have them math-themed.
Q: On the campaign trail, you
hear “developers” all the time.
There’s criticism that you’re too
close to developers or you’re prioritizing developers. They’re also
very necessary to, well, develop.
Could you talk about your approach to working with developers and why you think there’s so
much criticism around that?
A: Because the media says it and
it’s kind of a cheap, salacious
thing to say. People have been
saying it for 15 years, and I’ve
been getting elected for 15 years.
You can look at one of the first
developments that I was involved
in as an ANC commissioner on
Riggs Road and South Dakota
Avenue, and here’s my approach.

CRAIG HUDSON FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) won a third term, which she has
promised will be “the comeback” from the pandemic years.

I believe that neighborhoods
don’t get better by themselves,
and that if you have declining
retail, if you have dangerous conditions, if you don’t have amenities, you have to change that, or
it’s only going to continue to
decline. So I believe in neighborhood-focused, supported development that delivers what neighbors want.
I’m bullish about economic development. This is what I know
about making the city more affordable. If every part of the city is
thought of as desirable, people
will find it more affordable to live
here. When I go to the new Lidl at
Skyland, or when we go to the
former Walmart pad where we’re
going to get a new Giant, or now
in historic Anacostia where we
have more amenities coming up,
more people will think that that’s
a neighborhood that I can live in
and that I can afford to live in.
Because it has a grocery store, it
has great transportation. These

are great neighborhoods.
Our housing is more expensive
because of the great quality of life
we offer here. So we have to build
more housing all over the city, but
we also have to invest in amenities for every neighborhood in
the city. You shouldn’t think that
you have to go to the Wharf
because that’s the only place
where you’re going to be close to a
restaurant. Or that you have to
live in the Palisades because
that’s the only place where you
think there’s a good elementary
school. Or you don’t feel comfortable getting on a bus because
we’re letting juveniles terrorize
the bus system. … I get a small-area plan done. That’s 18 months of
community input, and it outlines
what the community wants. And
then the development community says: ‘That’s what the community wants. They’re on the same
page. I want to invest there.’ They
come invest there. Over time, the
community gets what it wants.

Coalescing Wizards win third straight
WIZARDS 121,
JAZZ 112
BY

A VA W ALLACE

Back before the season started, before their three primary
scorers had even shared a court,
Washington Wizards players
said their biggest strength would
be their offensive versatility. It
made sense on paper with Bradley Beal, Kristaps Porzingis and
Kyle Kuzma offering an abundance of scoring ability — yet
through the majority of their
first 10 games, that offense sputtered as often as it sparkled.

But in a 121-112 win against the
Utah Jazz, the Wizards finally
delivered on their promise.
Washington leaned on a diverse group of scorers to attack
the red-hot Jazz and came away
with its third straight win — all
of which have come without
Beal, who missed his fourth
consecutive game with the coronavirus. Beal cleared the league’s
health and safety protocols Friday but stayed on the bench
against Utah as he regains his
conditioning. Coach Wes Unseld
Jr. said Beal also will miss Sunday’s game against the Memphis
Grizzlies.
It’s a rare thing that the Wizards can be without Beal, give up

14 three-pointers and still come
away with a win. But their offense was robust enough to
trump the second-highest-scoring team in the league: The
Wizards had five scorers in double figures, two more with nine
points each and a season-high
16 three-pointers while shooting
50 percent from the field.
The Jazz had 12 turnovers, and
Washington made Utah pay with
13 points off fast breaks.
“The two areas where they
struggle are in the paint and in
transition,”
Unseld
said,

Commanders
quarterback Carson Wentz is fast
approaching being eligible to
return from injured reserve, but
Taylor Heinicke is unfazed. The
backup, who has started the past
three games in place of Wentz,
said this week that the looming
possibility of being replaced as
the starter doesn’t affect him.
“Honestly, I don’t think about
it,” the 29-year-old Heinicke insisted. He has a massive stage for
what could be his final appearance atop the Commanders’
quarterback depth chart: at the
Philadelphia Eagles, their undefeated NFC East rivals, on “Monday Night Football.”
Wentz, who fractured the ring
finger on his right hand in a
Week 6 win over the Chicago
Bears, will be eligible to return
from the injured list Tuesday.
Heinicke has faced questions
about his standing since the
spring, when the team traded for
Wentz and drafted Sam Howell,
but throughout, he has maintained he will do whatever it
takes to help the Commanders
succeed.
“My role this year was to be
backup to Carson and, if he went
down, be ready to play, and I feel
like I’ve done that,” Heinicke said

No. 20 Notre Dame (7-3) scored
touchdowns on its first three
drives and on five of six in the
first half. The Midshipmen (3-7)
have allowed opponents to score
on their opening drives in seven
of 10 games this season and are
0-7 in those contests.

Halfway through
this fickle NFL
regular season,

theme has

Jerry
stated as a
Brewer
warning: Rely too
much on your
quarterback at your own risk.
This is not the year to have
quarterback dependency issues.
If Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers
don’t have it in them to mask
their teams’ problems, then
something peculiar must be
happening. Aging cannot
explain it all away, because
plenty of standout quarterbacks,
at varying levels of experience,
have been shaky through the
first nine weeks. On the other
hand, the unlikely star turn of
Seattle Seahawks quarterback
Geno Smith at age 32 has been a
charming development, and two
young players once considered
limited — Jalen Hurts and Tua
Tagovailoa — are performing at
an elite level after their teams
made big trades and spent huge
money on wide receiver
upgrades.
The early results indicate a
shift. For most of the past
decade, pass-happy, spreadconcept offenses have
revolutionized the NFL, and
even teams with traditional
systems have used wrinkles to
put defenders in awkward
situations and make it easier to
throw the ball deep. But for
those who crave balance and
hard-hitting defensive football,
this might be the transitional
season they have been waiting to
see.

Of all the eyeballs fixing to

Nakashima is champ
at the Next Gen ATP
American Brandon
Nakashima stayed perfect in

Milan as he won the Next Gen
ATP finals Saturday with his
second straight-sets victory over
Jiri Lehecka this week.
Nakashima needed just
80 minutes to wrap up his 4-3
(7-5), 4-3 (8-6), 4-2 victory,
securing the title on the first of
three championship points when
Lehecka sent a forehand long.
The fourth-seeded Nakashima
won all five of his matches at the
year-ending tournament for
21-and-under players, including a
straight-sets victory over Lehecka
in the group stage.
“It’s been a great season for me.
I’ve definitely learned a lot with
every match, with every
tournament,” said Nakashima,
who won his first ATP title in his
home city of San Diego in
September.
Lehecka broke Nakashima’s
serve in the very first game. But
Nakashima broke back in the
sixth game to take the set to a
tiebreaker, where the American
raced to a 5-0 lead and went on to
take the set.
Lehecka threatened to start the
second set in similar fashion, but
Nakashima managed to save two
break points early on.
It was Nakashima’s second
appearance at the Next Gen
finals. He lost to compatriot
Sebastian Korda in the
semifinals last year.
This is the fifth edition of the
Next Gen ATP Finals, which
features shorter sets of first-tofour games and other format
changes. . . .
Australia reached the final of
the biggest team event in
women’s tennis for the 19th time
after winning the decisive
doubles on a match tiebreaker to
beat host nation Britain, 2-1, in a
thriller at the Billie Jean King Cup
in Glasgow, Scotland.
Facing the seven-time winners
in Sunday’s title match will be
Switzerland, which took an
unassailable 2-0 lead over the
Czech Republic.
The Swiss have never won the
competition formerly known as
the Fed Cup, losing the final in
1998 and again last year.
Storm Sanders beat Heather
Watson, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), to give
Australia an early lead before
Harriet Dart leveled for Britain
with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 triumph over
Ajla Tomljanovic.
Sanders then teamed with Sam
Stosur for a 7-6 (7-1), 6-7 (7-5), 10-6
victory over Alicia Barnett and
Olivia Nicholls.
The Swiss team advanced
behind wins by Viktorija Golubic
and Belinda Bencic. Golubic beat
Karolina Muchova, 6-4, 6-4, and
Bencic saw off Karolina Pliskova,
6-2, 7-6 (8-6).

had a day to remember at the
Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo.
Alpine had a day to forget.
Mercedes driver George
Russell will start Sunday’s race in
pole position after winning the
sprint race at Interlagos, with
teammate Lewis Hamilton also
in the front row, while Alpine
drivers Fernando Alonso and
Esteban Ocon had a high-profile
clash on the track.
Max Verstappen will start in
third position. He and his Red
Bull team already have been
crowned F1 champions.
Alonso will start back in
15th place and did not hide his
anger against Ocon after being
forced wide.
Ocon, who topped the
afternoon’s free practice, will
start 18th. Both drivers are
under investigation from race
stewards.
Sebastian Vettel, who will
retire at the end of the season,
was more restrained in his
reactions after Aston Martin
teammate Lance Stroll closed a
gap aggressively.
Minutes later race organizers
gave Stroll a 10-second penalty for
a dangerous maneuver. Vettel
finished ninth, and Stroll will
start from 17th place.
Hamilton finished third but
will take advantage of a five-place
penalty for Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz,
who ran second in qualifying. But
Sainz was penalized for adding a
new engine. . . .
Brazil’s Enzo Fittipaldi said he
will be a member of Red Bull’s
Formula One driver academy.
The 21-year-old will help to
develop both the Red Bull and
AlphaTauri cars next year.
Enzo, the grandson of two-time
F1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi,
is sixth in the Formula 2
championship after 13 of the
season’s 14 races.
BASEBALL
A baseball glove worn by Babe
Ruth during his glory days with
the New York Yankees sold for
more than $1.5 million at the
Louisville Slugger Museum &
Factory auction.
The winning bidder was not
identified. Hunt Auctions said the
price of $1,527,500 was the
highest ever paid for a glove.
The company said the glove
dates from the Bambino’s time
with the 1927 Yankees.
RUGBY
Portugal and the United States
set up their decider for the last
berth in the 2023 Rugby World
Cup after second wins in the final
qualifying tournament in Dubai.
Portugal routed Kenya, 85-0,
and the United States romped
over Hong Kong, 49-7, in the
second round of group play.
The last round Friday features
a meeting of the unbeaten sides.

Paralympic swimmer Robert Griswold, pictured in 2017, was accused of repeatedly sexually abusing a U.S. teammate in a lawsuit Friday.

Lawsuit: U.S. star abused teammate
USOPC puts two staffers
on leave amid allegations
against Paralympian
BY

R ICK M AESE

A decorated U.S. Paralympic
swimmer repeatedly sexually
abused an intellectually impaired
teammate at the Tokyo Games
and at the U.S. Olympic and
Paralympic Training Center,
where the two athletes were
paired together as roommates,
according to a lawsuit filed Friday
in federal court.
The 63-page complaint filed in
the U.S. District Court for Colorado states Robert Griswold “maliciously targeted and groomed”
Parker Egbert, a 19-year-old who
has autism and has suffered from
developmental delays his entire
life, taking advantage of his teammate’s intellectual disability that
“rendered him vulnerable and
naive to abuse.”
“This case is a horrific tragedy,
where a young man who defied
all odds to become a world-class
Paralympic swimmer had his life
utterly shattered by rape and
abuse when he was paired with a
team member who was a violent
sexual predator,” the complaint
states.
Griswold, a 25-year-old swimmer who has cerebral palsy, did
not respond to an email seeking
comment Friday and has said
nothing publicly about the allegations, which first surfaced last
month on the popular swimming
site SwimSwam. He was temporarily suspended by the U.S. Center for SafeSport on Aug. 23 for
“allegations of misconduct” and
is not allowed to compete while
the case remains open.
The lawsuit charges the U.S.
Olympic and Paralympic Committee and SafeSport with negligence for failing to protect Egbert
and for allowing Griswold close
access to the athlete even though
Griswold had faced previous allegations of misconduct and had

received a previous temporary
suspension in September 2020,
which was lifted before the Tokyo
Paralympics.
“The allegations brought forth
by the complaint filed today are
extremely concerning and we
take them very seriously,” a
USOPC spokesman said in a
statement. “We’ve made the decision to place two staff members
on administrative leave and have
also stopped the work of several
contractors with U.S. Paralympics Swimming. We’re also continuing our investigation of the
allegations to help us determine
the facts, and we are committed
to taking appropriate action.”
Representatives for U.S. Paralympics Swimming did not respond to messages seeking comment Friday. Emails sent to Erin
Popovich, the organization’s director, and Nathan Manley, the
associate director, received automatic replies with both officials
saying they’re “currently away on
leave.”
A spokesman for SafeSport,
the five-year-old nonprofit organization tasked with investigating and preventing sexual
abuse in Olympic sports organizations, declined to comment on
the lawsuit.
A Colorado Springs Police Department spokesman confirmed
to The Washington Post last
month that there was an “open
and active investigation” related
to Griswold but declined to reveal
any details. Griswold has not
been charged with any crimes.
The Post generally does not
name victims of sexual assault,
but Egbert identified himself in
Friday’s court filing. Through an
attorney, Egbert and his family
declined to comment further.
“As you can imagine, this ordeal has been extraordinarily difficult for the Egbert family, as
well as the other victims and
families that have been impacted,
so we ask that their privacy be
respected,” attorneys Frank Salzano and Elizabeth Kramer said
in a statement.
According to the lawsuit, Egbert was born with autism, did

not speak his first words until he
was 6 and today “has the mental
capacity of a five-year old.” But he
showed promise in the swimming pool at the U.S. Paralympic
trials in June 2021, where he
qualified for the Tokyo Games.
According to the complaint,
Griswold befriended and began
grooming Egbert at the trials. By
the time the national team got to
Tokyo later that summer, Griswold was Egbert’s “de facto chaperone,” according to the lawsuit,
and “was always seated next to
him on plane and bus rides, and
was given prolonged unsupervised access to [Egbert] as the
two shared a room in the Olympic
Village.” The complaint alleges
the “USOPC assigned Griswold to
be a supervisor of” Egbert.
Griswold abused Egbert on
multiple occasions, according to
the complaint, and warned Egbert that he “would get in trouble” and “the police would come”
if he spoke out.
There was at least one witness
to the abuse in Tokyo, according
to the filing. A third, unnamed
roommate became so enraged by
what he saw, that athlete
punched a wall and was later
reprimanded by team officials for
his outburst, the lawsuit states.
Griswold, a two-time Paralympian from Freehold, N.J., won two
gold medals and broke a world
record in Tokyo, and the complaint alleges he had become an
influential figure in the U.S. Paralympic world. The lawsuit states
Griswold urged USOPC officials
to extend an invitation to Egbert
to live and train at the U.S.
Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
The two athletes were again
paired together as roommates,
the lawsuit states, and the abuse
continued.
“On at least one occasion, Griswold raped Plaintiff so viciously
that Plaintiff lost bowel control.
To this day Plaintiff continues to
suffer from persistent and excruciating rectal pain, for which
surgery and continuing medical
attention is required,” the complaint states.

According to the filing, Egbert
stopped showering and began
writing stories “as a means of
escape,” including the tale of
“Spookley and the Hurricane,”
about a group of friends who
battled a powerful monster called
“Hurricane Robert.” His parents
reached out to USOPC officials
when Egbert first revealed the
abuse allegations, the complaint
states, “but the USOPC failed to
investigate the issue and summarily and dismissively told
Plaintiff’s parents that Plaintiff
was just fine, and that Griswold
posed absolutely no risk to Plaintiff.”
The lawsuit alleges the USOPC
and SafeSport protected Griswold, who “was a premier swimmer, and because Griswold’s family was deeply embedded with
leaders throughout the U.S. Paralympic swimming community.”
The complaint offers no details
about Griswold’s previous suspension but says the USOPC and
SafeSport ignored red flags and
previous complaints before placing Egbert in a dangerous situation with little to no oversight.
“Griswold’s physical, verbal,
and sexual abuse occurred in
large part because of the acts and
omissions of USOPC and
SafeSport,” the complaint states.
In August, the USOPC suspended Griswold from the training center and removed him as a
member of the national team,
and SafeSport issued its temporary suspension. One week earlier, according to social media
posts, Griswold married his fiancee in a Florida beach ceremony.
Egbert’s parents traveled to
Colorado Springs that week and
took their son home to Iowa.
According to the complaint, the
young swimmer “had to make the
difficult decision to leave behind
his lifelong dream.”
“Since his return home, [Egbert] has continuously told his
parents ‘thank you for saving me
from’ Griswold,” the lawsuit
states, “however, to this day, [Egbert] remains fearful that Griswold ‘knows where they live’ and
‘is going to kill [him].’”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Finau handles wind, maintains Houston Open lead
A SSOCIATED P RESS
Tony Finau had his highest
score of the week, and it felt as if
it was his best round of the week
in a cold wind Saturday. He kept
bogeys off his card, had a 2-under-par 68 and kept his lead at
four shots going into the final
round of the Houston Open.
Finau had such control at
Memorial Park that he hit every
fairway and missed only two
greens on a day when the average
score was 71.2 and only one of the
three par 5s played to an average
score below par.
Most satisfying was the 10-foot
par putt he made on the
18th hole after a rare miss into
the bunker. The bogey-free
round kept his distance from Ben
Taylor of England and allowed
Finau to tie the 54-hole tournament record.

He was at 15-under 195, the
same score Curtis Strange had in
1980.
“That was a really good
round,” Finau said. “I think the
score doesn’t say that, but I think
I played better than yesterday.
You know, yesterday I shot 62.
But today that 68 I thought was
pretty impressive for the conditions.”
The only change was who was
chasing him.
Finau had a four-shot lead
when the second round was
completed Saturday morning because of storm delays, leading
Patrick Rodgers and Alex Noren.
Both had 73s to fall out of
contention.
l LPGA TOUR: Allisen Corpuz is closing out a solid rookie
year, and now the Hawaii native
has a chance to make it even
better at the Pelican Women’s

Championship in Belleair, Fla.
Corpuz made four birdies in a
six-hole stretch in the middle of
her second round and had another 5-under 65, giving her a
one-shot lead going into the final
round of the penultimate LPGA
Tour event of the year.
Right behind Corpuz is a
group of top contenders, making
that one-shot lead feel even
smaller.
l PGA

TOUR CHAMPIONS:

Padraig Harrington shot a 9-under 62 to take a five-shot lead
over Steven Alker in the third
round of the Charles Schwab
Championship.
Harrington had four straight
birdies on the back nine to reach
21 under in the tour finale. The
run put him in such a good mood
he bought drinks for fans who
had been giving him a hard time
on the No. 15 tee at Phoenix

Country Club.
The three-time PGA Tour major winner closed his bogey-free
round with a two-putt birdie on
No. 18, but he has some work to
do if he’s going to overtake
Alker for the season-long
Schwab Cup.
l DP WORLD TOUR: Rasmus Hojgaard and Thomas Detry shared the lead at the Nedbank Golf Challenge after a busy
day when some players had to
finish their second rounds and
then come straight back out to
play the third round.
Rain and lightning had shortened the second day in Sun City,
South Africa, leaving Ryan Fox
and European Ryder Cup captain
Luke Donald in a share of the
lead, although they had barely
started their second rounds
when players were called off
because of the weather.

Young throws three touchdown passes to lift Crimson Tide
ALABAMA 30,
MISSISSIPPI 24
BY

C HRIS B URROWS

oxford, miss. — Alabama

Coach Nick Saban wondered
which Crimson Tide team would
show up in Mississippi. As it
turned out, he didn’t need to be
worried, especially about quarterback Bryce Young.
Young threw three touchdowns passes and Alabama,
ninth in the College Football Playoff rankings, scored on four consecutive possessions spanning
the second and third quarters,
rallying to beat No. 11 Mississippi,
30-24, on Saturday.
“They have a lot of pride in
what the standard of playing [at]
Alabama is,” Saban said. “They
were challenged to play to that
standard, to take it personally, to
understand they’re responsible
for the identity that they create by
how they play on the field.”
Will Reichard kicked field
goals of 23 and 49 yards in the
fourth quarter to snap a 24-all tie.
Alabama (8-2, 5-2 SEC) secured
the win by forcing an incomplete
pass into the Crimson Tide end
zone in the final minute to extend
its seven-game winning streak
over the Rebels.
“It was a tough night in a lot of
ways, but it was a great night for
us because I think we took a step
in the right direction,” Saban
said. “We didn’t get off to a great
start, but the players just kept
making one play at a time and at
the end of the game that we
needed to make.”
Young finished 21 for 33 for
209 yards, including touchdown
throws to Jermaine Burton, Cameron Latu and Ja’Courey Brooks.
Alabama trailed 10-0 early and
17-14 at halftime. The Crimson
Tide made efficient use of

Alabama tight end Cameron Latu catches a second-quarter touchdown pass Saturday against Mississippi. The Crimson Tide outscored the Rebels 16-7 in the second half.

317 yards of total offense and a
defense that stopped three Rebels’ opportunities in the final
quarter.
“It’s a shame. We had the ball in
our hands at the end of the game
and the crowd was in it, but we
didn’t get it done,” Mississippi
Coach Lane Kiffin said. “They’ve
got great players and great coaches, too, but it’s just a shame.”
The Rebels (8-2, 4-2) were led
by Quinshon Judkins, who had
135 yards on 25 carries and a pair

of 1-yard touchdown runs.
Judkins highlighted the game’s
final drive with runs of 35 and
13 yards to get the Rebels to the
Alabama 14-yard line before the
Crimson Tide got the gameclinching stop.
Jaxson Dart was 18-for-31 passing for 212 yards with a threeyard touchdown pass to Jonathan
Mingo. The Rebels finished with
403 yards of total offense but
finished 0 for 3 on fourth-down
conversions, including both of

the final two offensive series.
Needing
an
impressive
bounce-back performance, the
Crimson Tide responded and remain in position for a major bowl
game appearance, a 10-win regular season and a ranking in the
top 10. Alabama was 4 for 4 in the
red zone and had the edge in the
kicking game with Reichard and
punter James Burnip, who had a
44-yard average on four kicks.
“Making it 17-14 at halftime
was good,” said Saban, regarding

a Crimson Tide touchdown with
eight seconds before halftime,
setting off a 20-0 spurt that
spanned the middle quarters. “No
one even talked about the score at
halftime, which is how we wanted it to be.”
Kiffin made a concentrated effort to seek out Young on the field
during postgame to offer congratulations. Kiffin did not reveal
what he shared privately with last
year’s Heisman Trophy winner
but said afterward: “Bryce Young

put on that Superman cape and
made plays at the end. He’s a
special player.”
The loss eliminated any hopes
of the Rebels sharing an SEC West
title, but they retain big incentives, including a prominent bowl
game appearance, a high ranking
in the poll and consecutive 10win regular seasons. For that to
happen, the defense that gave up
four scoring possessions in the
second half must be tightened.

No. 7 Tigers’ defense delivers a Jordan-like performance against Razorbacks
LSU 13,
ARKANSAS 10
BY

E RIC W . B OLIN

fayetteville, ark. — LSU
Coach Brian Kelly told Harold Perkins Jr. he reminded him of Michael Jordan after the Tigers, seventh in the College Football Playoff rankings, defeated Arkansas,
13-10, on Saturday.
The freshman linebacker,
whose strip-sack of Arkansas
quarterback Cade Fortin with 1:17
left clinched the win and kept
LSU’s playoff hopes alive, had the
flu before the teams kicked off, the
coach said.
When Kelly told Perkins that
his effort against the Razorbacks
reminded him of MJ against the
Jazz in 1997, Kelly said the teenager responded, “Who’s MJ?”
Perkins finished with two

forced fumbles, four sacks and
eight tackles. His teammate Mekhi Wingo pounced on the loose
ball at the Arkansas 44 to clinch
the victory for LSU (8-2, 6-1 SEC).
LSU’s
defense
allowed
249 yards to Arkansas’ offense,
which by game’s end was down to
its third-string quarterback.
The Razorbacks (5-5, 2-4) attempted to rally in the fourth
quarter when Fortin entered in
the third quarter to replace an
ineffective Malik Hornsby. Fortin
threw a 40-yard touchdown pass
to Matt Landers with 13:12 left to
pull Arkansas within three.
But LSU’s offense was little bit
better, gaining 284 yards — more
than 150 below its season average.
Josh Williams ran for 122 of those
yards and scored the Tigers’ only
touchdown, a one-yarder, late in
the third quarter to provide LSU a
10-point lead. Only one of the Tigers’ 13 series yielded more than
40 yards.

“We are far from a finished
product,” Kelly said. “I don’t think
anybody in that locker room
thinks we have arrived.”
Arkansas sacked LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels seven times,
limiting the SEC’s top rusher at the
position to 10 yards on 19 carries.
Daniels completed 8 of 15 passes
for 86 yards and an interception.
“I think the defense played so
well that that gave us a chance.
They kept us in it,” Arkansas
Coach Sam Pittman said. “I
thought when Landers got the
long one that we were going to
rally around that and it seemed
like it was the same story. Just
didn’t seem to find a way to be
consistent.”
LSU forced the Razorbacks’
hand by stifling Hornsby, who ran
for 37 yards on 18 carries and
finished 4-for-9 passing for
24 yards. Daniels found Kayshon
Boutte for a 26-yard gain on a
single pass one play ahead of Wil-

liams’s touchdown with 5:25 left
in the third quarter.
The Razorbacks were without
their usual starting quarterback,
KJ Jefferson, announcing minutes
before kickoff Jefferson would not
play because of a shoulder injury.
Fortin finished 8 for 13 for 92 yards
with the score and the lost fumble.
LSU can clinch the SEC West
and a spot in the SEC championship with a victory in the season
finale in two weeks against Texas
A&M.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do
this journey, but we’re still finding
ways to win football games,” Kelly
said.
The Razorbacks’ 249 yards are
the fewest LSU has allowed an
SEC opponent since Texas A&M
had just 169 in 2019. LSU won the
national championship that season.
Arkansas is a victory shy of bowl
eligibility.

PITTSBURGH 37,

H ANK K URZ J R.

charlottesville — M.J. De-

vonshire and Marquis Williams
returned interceptions for touchdowns on the first two plays from
scrimmage,
and
Pittsburgh
reached bowl eligibility with a 37-7
victory at Virginia on Saturday.
Devonshire’s interception of
Brennan Armstrong and 29-yard
return gave the Panthers (6-4, 3-3
ACC) a 7-0 lead after just five seconds. After a touchback, Armstrong tried to throw deeper, but
Williams intercepted and went
39 yards for the touchdown.
“We thought they’d possibly
come out and do what they did on

that first play, and we had a great
defense called for it,” Panthers
Coach Pat Narduzzi said of Devonshire’s interception. “And, you
know, I think it made Armstrong
think a little bit, at least for the
first half and maybe even the third
quarter.”
The Cavaliers (3-6, 1-6), who
needed a victory to remain in contention for a bowl berth, trailed
28-0 by the end of the first quarter.
Many in the sparse crowd that
booed them as they left the field at
halftime then seemingly also left
on a sunny, warm fall afternoon.
“Obviously, not results any of us
want, not the start any of us wanted,” Virginia offensive coordinator
Des Kitchings said. “We got a
group of kids in there hurting,
coaches are hurting because we’ve
been making progress and today
just took a step back with the start

of that game.”
Israel Abanikanda added to his
nation-leading touchdown total
with a one-yard run on Pitt’s first
offensive possession, and Kedon
Slovis hit Jared Wayne with a
31-yard scoring pass on the next,
putting the Panthers ahead 28-0
with 2:33 left in the opening quarter.
Ben Sauls kicked three secondhalf field goals, and the outcome
was never in doubt as Pitt won for
the sixth time in the past seven
meetings with the Cavaliers. The
Panthers outgained Virginia
397-144 and held the home team to
minus-eight rushing yards.
Armstrong, playing without his
top three wide receivers for the
second week in a row, hit Malachi
Fields from nine yards for the
Cavaliers’ lone score late in the
third quarter.

The Panthers not only hurt
Armstrong with the interceptions
but also kept Virginia’s leading
rusher bottled up in the backfield.
Armstrong was sacked eight times
for minus-69 yards and had just a
pair of runs totaling 23 yards.
“I think the first two plays bothered him a lot. But, you know, our
guys did a good job. We got a pretty
good D-line, and the linebackers
are doing their job,” Narduzzi said.
Armstrong’s decision to return
after a huge junior season was
cause for celebration at Virginia.
He threw for 4,449 yards last season with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. This season, a more
balanced offense with less opportunity for freelancing has not gone
as well. His touchdown pass was
his seventh against 12 interceptions this season.

l WOFFORD

34, VMI 16:

Ryan Ingram ran for two touchdowns and RJ Khayo returned a
punt 79 yards for a score as the
Terriers (3-7, 3-4) won handily in
Spartanburg, S.C., to keep the Keydets (1-9, 0-7) winless in Southern
Conference play.

There was a brief moment in
the second quarter when Navy
trailed 21-13 and looked poised to
keep the contest close. Fullback
Daba Fofana (133 rushing yards)
had ripped off big runs on consecutive drives that led to touchdowns, including his own
36-yard score, and the defense
had finally gotten a stop when
Notre Dame kicker Blake Grupe
missed a 45-yard field goal. That’s
when things fell apart in front of
an announced crowd of 62,124.
Niumatalolo tried to get
sneaky on the first play after the
missed field goal, and disaster
ensued. The play was a reverse to
slotback Kai Puailoa-Rojas, who
pulled up and threw downfield to
quarterback Xavier Arline. The
pass hung in the air long enough
for Notre Dame cornerback Clarence Lewis to sprint over and
pick it off. Pyne ran for an 11-yard
touchdown three plays later.
The nightmare of a first half
was far from over. The Navy
offense promptly went three and

out, and Jack Kiser blocked the
subsequent punt. It was the fifth
straight game the Fighting Irish
have blocked a punt and the
seventh block of the season. Pyne
threw his fourth touchdown pass
of the half on the next play, a
perfect 37-yard strike to Jayden
Thomas.
Notre Dame went into halftime with a 35-13 lead, having
scored the last 14 points in 1:09 of
game time.
“It was a very bad sequence,”
Niumatalolo said. “Probably got a
little too greedy myself, calling
the trick play. But I was going to
come out swinging. In hindsight,
probably should have just kind of
ran the ball a little bit. Obviously
that blocked punt hurt us too. But
also we’ve got to make some
stops.”
Pyne completed 14 of 16 passes
for 234 yards and four touchdowns in just the first 30 minutes
of the game. He finished with
269 yards and those four touchdowns.
Arline made his second start
after Tai Lavatai was lost for the

season with a left knee injury in
Navy’s overtime win against Temple on Oct. 29. Arline was forced
to leave the game midway
through the fourth quarter with
an apparent leg injury and had to
be helped off the field. He was
taken into the medical tent and
replaced by senior Maasai
Maynor. Niumatalolo didn’t have
details on the injury after the
game but hoped it wasn’t longterm. Arline finished with
59 rushing yards and a touchdown to go along with 57 passing
yards and a score.
Notre Dame took its foot off
the gas a bit after halftime, but
the Navy defense was also much
more aggressive. The Irish didn’t
score again as Navy tied a season
high with five sacks and chipped
away at the lead. The defense
held the Fighting Irish to 12 total
yards in the second half after
giving up 323 in the first.
“The one thing you know
about Navy is they will never
quit,” Notre Dame Coach Marcus
Freeman said. “We had to match
their urgency throughout the en-

tirety of the game. We did in the
first half. We did not have the
urgency and execution that we
needed to finish the game the
way we wanted to. . . . Somehow,
some way, we have to be better
because of what happened in the
second half.”
Maynor threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Maquel Haywood
with 1:21 left in the game. Navy
attempted an onside kick, but
Notre Dame recovered and ran
out the clock.
“I just feel like it speaks on our
grit,” Maynor said about the second half. “Halftime I believe it
was 35-13. Some teams would be
like, okay, next game-type thing.
But we kind of came into halftime, we were just thinking: ‘We
are right where we need to be. We
know that we have killed ourselves, so let’s go into the second
half and let’s show them who we
are.’ ”
Linebacker John Marshall
added, “Our offense was keeping
us in it in the first half, and it was
kind of our duty to do it the
second half.”

Blue Devils send Hokies to seventh straight defeat
DUKE 24,
VIRGINIA TECH 7
A SSOCIATED P RESS

durham, n.c. — Riley Leonard

threw for two touchdowns and ran
for another as Duke surged past
Virginia Tech, 24-7, on Saturday.
It was the third straight win for
the Blue Devils (7-3, 4-2 ACC), who
are putting together their best season in years, and the seventh
straight loss for the Hokies (2-8,
1-6), who are playing at their worst
level in decades.
Leonard was 19-for-31 passing
for 262 yards and also carried the
ball nine times for 48 yards. Jalon
Calhoun was his favorite target
with 94 yards on five catches.
“We had a great game plan,”

Leonard said. “We had to win our
matchups, and that’s what it came
down to. The offensive line gave
me as much time as I needed in the
pocket to deliver the ball, and our
receivers were just out there making plays all day.”
Grant Wells led Virginia Tech
with 177 passing yards and a
touchdown.
“Obviously, we’re disappointed,” Hokies Coach Brent Pry said.
“Didn’t play very well fundamentally and certainly didn’t play
complimentary ball. I think we’re
fighting and clawing to hang in
there defensively. We’ve got to do
more on the other side of the ball
to have a chance.”
After Duke opened with a threeand-out, Virginia Tech took the
lead on its second offensive play of
the game when Wells connected
with Da’Wain Lofton on a 53-yard

scoring strike. It was the second
longest touchdown pass of the
year for the Hokies.
Then — starting with a 25-yard
field goal from Todd Pelino — the
Blue Devils put up 24 unanswered
points, grabbing the lead and never letting go. The highlight of the
scoring run was junior wideout
Jontavis Robertson hauling in a
six-yard pass for his first career
touchdown.
“We responded to a little bit of a
slow start and then took control of
the game,” Duke Coach Mike Elko
said. “I thought defensively we
played our best effort of the year,
the way we controlled the line of
scrimmage.”
The Blue Devils’ win was their
first against the Hokies in Durham
since 1981. The series — which
Virginia Tech leads 19-11 — goes
back to 1937.

“We talked about that,” Elko
said of Duke’s long home losing
streak against the Hokies. “And we
continue to talk about breaking
through expectations. You want to
do that. Each win, we savor. Winning is precious in this sport.”
Should Duke win out, it has a
chance to get six ACC victories this
season. The Blue Devils have done
that only three times, most recently in 2013.
Meanwhile, Pry’s first season in
Blacksburg has been historically
abysmal. The last time Virginia
Tech lost seven consecutive games
was 1951, when it played in the
Southern Conference. And eight
losses are the most the Hokies
have had in a season since 1992,
when they played in the Big East.
By record, it’s the program’s worst
season since it joined the ACC in
2004.

E MILY G IAMBALVO

state college, pa. — Terrapins

Coach Michael Locksley knows
this isn’t a rivalry. Penn State is
one of Maryland’s nearest neighbors in the Big Ten, and the football programs share similar recruiting terrain, but to be true
rivals, the games must be tightly
contested. And Maryland can’t
keep up with the Nittany Lions,
with Saturday’s thrashing the latest blow in this lopsided series.
The Terrapins were dominated
all afternoon in their 30-0 loss at
Beaver Stadium. Maryland, which
has just three wins in 46 attempts
against Penn State, has rarely
been competitive against the Big
Ten’s best programs. The Terps
seized an opportunity to beat a
struggling Penn State team two
years ago, but that was an anomaly. Performances similar to this
one — familiar to the fan base but
deflating each time — have instead been the norm.
Penn State commanded the
line of scrimmage; Maryland
couldn’t stop the run, and the
Nittany Lions pressured quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa into an
atrocious outing. No. 14 Penn
State (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) racked up
413 offensive yards compared
with Maryland’s 134, most of
which (107) came in the second
half with the game out of hand.
The Terps suffered their first shutout since 2019 when Penn State
imposed its will in a 59-0 victory.
Searching for positive takeaways
from this four-quarter drubbing
would be a futile task.
After a disappointing loss at
Wisconsin last weekend, the
Terps (6-4, 3-4) are mired in a
losing streak for the first time this
season — and their next test is
against No. 2 Ohio State. The season finale against Rutgers could
determine whether Maryland
slumps to a winless November.
Locksley said his team
shouldn’t panic, “but it is time
that we, starting with myself, take
a deep look at everything we’re
doing — on offense, on defense, on
special teams — and find a way to
get us back on the right track.”
When asked what areas the

their thing going right away, we’ve
got to step up and play for them,
too.”
Just before halftime, the Terps
mustered a stop that, in an ideal
situation, could have given their
offense a chance to score on a
methodical, two-minute drive to
close the quarter. But Maryland’s
afternoon in State College was far
from ideal and repeatedly unfolded as such.
On this Penn State punt, Dante
Trader Jr. picked up a personal
foul for roughing the kicker, gifting the Nittany Lions another opportunity. Despite an unsportsmanlike conduct call on Penn
State Coach James Franklin (he
punished himself with 15 pushups on the sideline), the hosts
grabbed three points with a
50-yard field goal. After a Maryland possession stalled quickly,
Penn State got the ball again and
this time drove 48 yards to kick
another field goal.
By halftime, Maryland’s offense
had amassed just 27 yards. The
game had slipped out of reach.
Penn State had forcefully proved
it was the better team.
“It goes back to execution,”
Locksley said of the offensive issues. “When you say that as a
coach, automatically you think
players, but no, it’s not just players. It’s everybody that’s involved
with our offense, and I’m involved
on a daily basis with it.”
For Maryland, this isn’t a Penn
State problem. The trouble almost
always resurfaces when the Terps
play a top-tier opponent.
Since it joined the Big Ten in
2014, Maryland is 3-21 against the
powers in its division — Michigan,
Ohio State and Penn State. The
losses have been decided by an
average of 33 points, a stark reminder of the gap the Terps have
yet to close. The Terps still haven’t
beaten a ranked Big Ten team as a
member.
Despite those high-profile letdowns that loom over the program, the Terps appeared to take a
step forward this season. Maryland had strong outings early in
the fall and managed to play a
close game against still-undefeated Michigan. But the team regressed toward the familiar. The
Terps were overmatched, and
their weaknesses gave Penn State
another opportunity to showcase
its dominance over a regional foe.

team needed to scrutinize, Locksley listed: “Personnel, scheme,
players, who’s on the field, who’s
not on the field, every aspect of it,
what we’re calling, how we’re calling it.”
Against Penn State, Maryland’s
struggling offense stalled repeatedly and had only three drives
that gained more than 20 yards.
All three ended with failed attempts to convert on fourth down.
Tagovailoa was sacked seven
times, including twice by Chop
Robinson, once a touted freshman for the Terps who is a sophomore for the Nittany Lions and
was a captain for this game. Tagovailoa, usually the engine of the
offense, finished with 74 passing
yards, a new low in his Maryland
career after setting his previous
low (77) in his last outing in Madison, and he completed just 11 of
22 passes.
“It takes not just our quarterback to play great,” Locksley said.
“It takes the players around him.
It takes calling things that we can
get executed.”
Backup quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. took the reins midway
through the fourth quarter. After
a Penn State turnover, the offense
tried to string together a positive
series to avoid the shutout, but
Edwards came up short on fourth
down and limped off the field.
The Nittany Lions, meanwhile,
averaged 5.7 yards per play. Twice
on fourth and short, freshman
running back Nicholas Singleton
sprung free for long touchdown
runs. Singleton finished with a
game-high 122 rushing yards, and
fellow freshman Kaytron Allen
added 73. Quarterback Sean Clifford (12 for 23, 139 yards) didn’t
need to do much. Penn State’s
dominance in the trenches was
enough.
The Terps’ deficiencies were obvious early. They accumulated minus-15 yards through three possessions as Penn State’s pressure
consistently bottled up Tagovailoa. The defense offered a
blip of positivity by forcing a three
and out early in the second quarter — only to be followed by an
offensive drive that included a
rush for a loss of four, a sack for a
loss of 11, another sack for a loss of
two and then a punt.
“We were on the field for a lot
[of time],” defensive back Beau
Brade said. “If the offense can’t get

NFL week 10

Should the slumping Packers bench Rodgers? The idea isn’t as crazy as it sounds.
It once would
have sounded
ridiculous — and
perhaps even
JASON
blasphemous, at
LA CANFORA
least to Green Bay
Packers fans — to make a case
for why Aaron Rodgers should
step aside this season, even
temporarily, for understudy
Jordan Love, barring an injury.
But now some NFL executives
are wondering whether that
outcome might be logical if not
necessary given the arc of this
bleak Packers season and the
continued downward spiral of a
quarterback merely months
removed from capping a second
straight MVP campaign.
Undoubtedly, the idea will
come off as crazy to many given
Rodgers’s résumé, how much
Green Bay just spent to secure
his services through at least
2023 and how shaky Love has
looked when actually granted an
opportunity to play. Still, I
would by no means rule it out.
“It doesn’t sound crazy to me
at all,” one NFL general manager
said this week after watching
film of the Packers’ backward
loss to the Detroit Lions. (He
spoke on the condition of
anonymity because he is not at
liberty to discuss other teams’
personnel). “I think that’s where
it’s headed. They’re stuck with
Rodgers no matter what, but you
need to know what you have in
Love, too. Especially now. Was
he worth the first-round pick?
What could you get for him if he
does play well? There’s only one
way to find out.”
It would have sounded just as
preposterous before this season
to suggest Green Bay would be
3-6 at this point, especially
considering expectations about
how shallow the NFC would be.
But Green Bay was shut down by
a broken Lions defense in
Week 9, with Rodgers’s
quarterback’s rating falling
below 90. And he appears no
longer able to function in the
red zone, where his genius has
always been beyond reproach.
Rodgers has been the
20th-rated passer in the NFL
during the team’s 0-5 slide. His

athleticism could give the
Packers a boost — or at least a
different voice in the huddle
from the one that has been
quick to attempt to absolve
himself of all blame despite poor
results.
With four games remaining
after that bye, wouldn’t it be
something for a Packers brass
that took such repeated beatings
from the quarterback to have
him take a seat for the prospect
whose selection set off this soap
opera in the first place? Far
crazier things have happened in
the NFL. Just this week, in fact.

On
the NFL

SETH WENIG/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Green Bay has stuck with Aaron Rodgers, left, despite using a first-round pick on Jordan Love.

immobility is an issue. And he is
averaging just 6.15 yards per
pass in that stretch, ranking
27th in the league, despite his
big arm. He faces a daunting
upcoming task: the Cowboys’
vaunted defense Sunday, a
surging Titans team (on a 5-1
run while playing stifling
defense), the undefeated Eagles
and then a suddenly improved
Bears team before a Week 14
bye. Assume the Packers still
will be a realistic playoff squad
by then at your own risk.
Few also would have
suggested before the season that
Green Bay’s offensive line would
look this desperate for a reboot,
that Rodgers would be
absorbing this many big hits or

that a Packers team on cruise
control to 13 or more wins in the
first three seasons under Matt
LaFleur would look so
rudderless so deep into this
season.
Still, why bench such an
accomplished quarterback
making more than $50 million
in favor of a backup the
franchise has been keen to keep
on the sidelines for 21/2 years
since it shockingly moved up to
select him in the first round
when Rodgers was still at the
height of his prowess? Well,
from a general manager’s
perspective, consider how bereft
of talent this offense is outside
the running back position, how
much repair the offensive line

merits, how many issues there
are on defense and how the
team will have to decide
whether to pick up Love’s fifthyear option, which could have
major ramifications on his trade
market as well.
This is not a particularly deep
roster; the team’s return from
the ill-fated trade of elite wide
receiver Davante Adams was
already expunged in the 2022
draft, and Rodgers’s megadeal
was not the least bit teamfriendly. They are stuck with
him through at least next
season, in the opinion of every
general manager and executive
with whom I have regularly
discussed this situation. And
maybe, just maybe, Love’s

Colts drama has impact
The biggest winner in the
entire Jeff Saturday charade in
Indianapolis very well might be
someone who isn’t even in the
league, let alone on anyone’s
coaching staff. In the immediate
aftermath of the Colts’ stunning
announcement that Saturday
would replace Frank Reich as
their coach, many league
executives thought of a different
team in the AFC South: the
Houston Texans.
For two years, the Texans have
come close to hiring former
quarterback Josh McCown as
their coach; by now it is an open
secret how highly owner Cal
McNair and General Manager
Nick Caserio think of him and
how infatuated they have been
by his coaching prospects.
Several general managers who
have had McCown on their
rosters have vowed to me for
years that he had head coaching
stuff and would excel in that job,
and McCown has been coaching
his sons through their high
school careers in Texas.
The buzz about him has only
grown, and after years of
conversations with the Texans,
his hiring next year would be far
less startling given what Colts
owner Jim Irsay just did
midseason.
“This makes it much less
difficult to sell McCown now,”
said one GM, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity to freely
discuss another front office.
The Texans are hardly above
blowing out a caretaker coach

after one year; they just did it
with David Culley a year ago.
Unlike with Saturday, the Texans
could contend that someone else
might try to grab McCown. They
have punted on actually trying
to find their quarterback of the
future, rolling with the limited
Davis Mills instead, but that will
change in this next draft. It’s fair
to wonder, given their past
pursuits of McCown, if he is now
more attractive than ever as a
quarterback-guru-slash-head
coach, with the Texans the frontrunners to land the first overall
pick in next year’s draft.
Houston is the league’s only
team without at least two
victories heading into Week 10,
with the third-worst scoring
margin in the NFL. Did the
franchise set it up that way as
part of a long-term tank? Of
course. But you have to bottom
out somewhere.
2023 QB class overhyped?
The idea that the 2023 draft
class will be loaded with
potential franchise quarterbacks
was seemingly inescapable early
in this college football season. It
may prove to be hyperbolic.
Certainly, it stacks up better
than the 2022 group at this time
a year ago, but a longtime
executive and scout whose
private evaluations of this
position have proved astute over
the years is pumping the breaks
on the optimism. He doesn’t see
four or five quarterbacks truly
worthy of first-round grades, the
way some evaluators would have
you think, and believes teams
selling their fans that all will be
solved come April may be
peddling some false hope.
“The hype about this class has
gotten out of control,” said the
executive, whose team is in the
market for a quarterback and
who cannot speak freely about
them ahead of the draft. “This
isn’t the once-in-a-generation
class they want you to believe it
is. I’ve seen them all, and you
can get excited about some of
them, but they’re going to need
time. They aren’t coming in and
saving your franchise from Day
One.”

NOTES

Players association calls for immediate change of turf fields in six stadiums
A SSOCIATED P RESS
The NFL Players Association is
calling on six venues to change
their current playing surfaces,
saying the turf in those stadiums
results in “statistically higher ingame injury rates” involving noncontact and lower-extremity injuries.
NFLPA President JC Tretter
said in a statement Saturday the
league should ban “slit film” playing surfaces, which are used by the
Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions,
Indianapolis Colts, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints and
New York Jets and Giants.
“The NFL and its experts have

agreed with this data and acknowledge that the slit film field is
less safe,” Tretter said. “Player
leadership wrote a letter to the
NFL this week demanding the immediate removal of these fields
and a ban on them going forward,
both in stadiums and for practice
fields. The NFL has not only refused to mandate this change immediately, but they have also refused to commit to mandating a
change away from slit film in the
future at all.”
Jeff Miller, the executive vice
president of communications,
public affairs & policy for the NFL,
disputed the NFLPA’s conclusions.
“As the NFLPA knows from the

meeting of our Joint Field Surface
Safety & Performance Committee
earlier this month, there was no
difference between the number of
injuries on synthetic surfaces versus grass,” Miller said in an
emailed statement.
Miller said joint experts for the
league and NFLPA did not recommend any changes to surfaces at
the committee meeting but agreed
more study is needed.
l STEELERS: Pittsburgh activated outside linebacker T.J. Watt
from injured reserve, clearing the
way for him to return Sunday
against the New Orleans Saints.
Watt hasn’t played since he tore
his left pectoral muscle in Week 1

against Cincinnati. The 2021 NFL
defensive player of the year also
underwent minor knee surgery
during his stay on IR.
Pittsburgh ruled out safety
Minkah Fitzpatrick for the game
against the Saints with an appendix issue. Damontae Kazee, who
came off IR on Wednesday, could
fill in for Fitzpatrick.
The Steelers also placed recently acquired cornerback William
Jackson III on IR with a back
injury.
l TITANS: Tennessee activated
its first players off IR, bringing
back rookie wide receiver Treylon
Burks and cornerback Elijah
Molden and sidelining veteran

linebacker Zach Cunningham and
defensive back Josh Thompson.
Burks hurt his left toe and was
carted off the field in a win at the
Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 2. Molden was placed on IR on Sept. 9.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill is
a game-time decision for Sunday
against the Denver Broncos and
could start after he missed the
past two games with a sprained
right ankle.
l CHARGERS:
Los Angeles
signed running back Larry Rountree III to its active roster and
elevated offensive tackle Foster
Sarell and kicker Cameron Dicker
from the practice squad ahead of
Sunday’s game against the San

Francisco 49ers.
Sarell or Storm Norton could
get the start at right tackle if Trey
Pipkins is unable to go.
l MISC.: The NFL plans to play
more regular season games in Germany, possibly sooner than expected.
Commissioner Roger Goodell
told a fan forum in Munich that
the NFL will stage “at least” four
games in Germany through 2025.
The current agreement includes Sunday’s game between the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks at Allianz Arena plus
an annual game over the next
three seasons, with Munich and
Frankfurt each hosting twice.

TO DA Y ’S GA MES
Seahawks (6-3) vs. Buccaneers (4-5) in Munich, 9:30 a.m.,
NFL Network » Can Geno Smith and a smart, young Seattle team keep it
going against Tom Brady, who recaptured some magic late in a comeback
win against the Rams last Sunday? Improbably, Tampa Bay is now atop
the NFC South, and the Seahawks lead the NFC West. A beleaguered Bucs
defense will have to devise a way to stop Kenneth Walker III, who has
rushed for 512 yards and seven touchdowns in his past five games.
Vikings (7-1) at Bills (6-2), 1 p.m., WTTG-5, WBFF-45 » Minnesota has
won six in a row by an average of 5.6 points. Opponents often have more
rushing and passing yards, and the opposing quarterback often has a
higher rating than Kirk “You Like That” Cousins. But the Vikings show up in
the fourth quarter, outscoring opponents 70-37.
Lions (2-6) at Bears (3-6), 1 p.m. » It was an attention-getting
performance, although it probably doesn’t bode well for Justin Fields’s
health in the long run. Chicago’s quarterback had 178 yards rushing
Sunday against Miami, the most by a quarterback in a regular season
game in the Super Bowl era, breaking the record of 173 set by Michael Vick
in 2002. Fields also was the first player since at least 1950 with 150-plus
rushing yards and three-plus passing touchdowns in a game.
Jaguars (3-6) at Chiefs (6-2), 1 p.m. » Imagine . . . 68 passes. That’s how
many Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes attempted against Tennessee last
Sunday, coming within two of the all-time single-game mark set by New
England’s Drew Bledsoe in 1994. Mahomes completed 43 of those
attempts, two shy of Bledsoe’s mark (which was tied by Jared Goff in
2019). According to NFL Research, Mahomes became the first player in
the Super Bowl era with at least 400 yards and a touchdown passing and
60 yards and a touchdown rushing in the same game.

Browns (3-5) at Dolphins (6-3), 1 p.m., WJZ-13 » Tyreek Hill hasn’t lost a
step in his transition from Mahomes and the Chiefs to Tua Tagovailoa and
the Dolphins. He has 76 receptions for 1,104 yards — the most by a player
in his first nine games with a team.
Texans (1-6-1) at Giants (6-2), 1 p.m., WUSA-9 » New York headed into
its bye week with a loss in which the offense sputtered against Seattle.
Saquon Barkley had only 53 yards rushing, with one touchdown, on
20 carries. Barkley has a good chance to get back on track against a
Houston defense that is allowing a league-worst 180.6 rushing yards per
game.
Saints (3-6) at Steelers (2-6), 1 p.m. » In the battle of sputtering
offenses, New Orleans may consider whether it’s time to switch from Andy
Dalton back to Jameis Winston. Pittsburgh managed to convert just 1 of 12
third-down attempts during its shellacking by Philadelphia before its bye
week.
Broncos (3-5) at Titans (5-3), 1 p.m. » Beware Derrick Henry in the
wildcat formation. His four-yard touchdown run last Sunday against
Kansas City came off a direct snap out of the formation, and he leads the
league in touchdown runs (five) and touchdown passes (two) out of the
wildcat (including playoff appearances) since entering the league in 2016.
Colts (3-5-1) at Raiders (2-6), 4:05 p.m. » The Raiders have lost after
losing a lead of 17 or more points three times this season, tying the NFL
record held by the 2020 Chargers and 2003 Falcons. Now they get a bit of
a break in that they face a team suddenly coached by Jeff Saturday, the
Colts’ former center who has zero experience coaching at the NFL or
college level. He is expected to have 30-year-old passing game specialist/
assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier calling the plays on offense.

AFC
EAST

Cowboys (6-2) at Packers (3-6), 4:25 p.m., WTTG-5, WBFF-45 » ESPN
reported that Green Bay unsuccessfully pursued trades for Chase Claypool
and Darren Waller in an effort to provide more targets for Aaron Rodgers,
who could use some. Some of the fault for throwing three interceptions
inside the 25 in Sunday’s loss to Detroit rests with him, though. Facing a
Dallas defense coming off a bye week and led by former Packers coach
Mike McCarthy is a tall order for this Packers team, even at Lambeau
Field.
Cardinals (3-6) at Rams (3-5), 4:25 p.m. » There are Super Bowl
hangovers, and then there is what Los Angeles is experiencing. The Rams
couldn’t generate enough first downs in a three-point loss to Tampa Bay
this past week, and for the seventh time this season, Los Angeles was held
to 24 or fewer points. It marked the fifth time the team couldn’t even score
15 points.
Chargers (5-3) at 49ers (4-4), 8:20 p.m., WRC-4, WBAL-11 » When last
seen before their bye week, the 49ers put their new Swiss Army knife,
Christian McCaffrey, on full display against the Rams. He joined LaDainian
Tomlinson (in 2005) and Walter Payton (in 1979) as the only running backs
with a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in a game since the 1970
merger. Not that Los Angeles running back Austin Ekeler is any slouch —
he has 10 career games with one-plus rushing and one-plus receiving
touchdown. That ties him with the Saints’ Alvin Kamara and McCaffrey for
the most in a player’s first six seasons since 1950.

ANALYSIS

McDaniels’s rocky start has echoes of his earlier flameout
BY

D ES B IELER

In the wake of a coaching
change in Indianapolis, the Las
Vegas Raiders’ matchup Sunday
with the Colts reverberates with
the recent past.
For his part, first-year Las
Vegas coach Josh McDaniels
might just be hoping that a poor
outcome doesn’t hasten a historical parallel he would rather
avoid.
With the Raiders off to a 2-6
start amid some ominous grumbles by prominent players, speculation has begun about the job
security of McDaniels, whose
previous stint as an NFL head
coach quickly went sour. A loss
this week to the visiting Colts,
who are riding a three-game
losing streak marked by turmoil,
would raise more questions
about whether the former New
England Patriots offensive coordinator has learned how to successfully lead a team.
Given that Indianapolis let go
of well-regarded coach Frank
Reich on Monday and replaced
him with retired ex-Colts standout Jeff Saturday — whose only
previous coaching experience
has come at the high school level
— Las Vegas could feel good
about its chances. Then again,
the Raiders just lost to a pair of
teams that came into those
games with a cumulative record
of 4-11.
For the moment, the 46-yearold McDaniels might be more
concerned about his own team
than the next one on his schedule. Following last week’s 27-20
loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars,
in which the Raiders squandered
a 17-0 lead, quarterback Derek
Carr offered cryptic comments
that did not appear to reflect well
upon his coach.
“There’s a lot I want to say, but
if I’m honest, I don’t need to say it
here,” Carr told reporters.
“There’s things that will be said.
There are things that need to be
addressed and all those things.
But I think as a whole, the
urgency part of it, after 30 minutes of football, we have to learn
that the game is not over.

Thursday. “I’m just going out
there and trying to win games for
this team. And if they want to put
Carson back in, great. I’ll be the
best backup I can be to him and
help him in any way I can. But for
me right now, I just go in there
and try to do the best I can.”
Commanders Coach Ron Rivera may have to decide on a
quarterback as soon as the day
after his team’s trip to Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.
This week at practice, Wentz did
not wear a brace or splint on his
right hand, and on Saturday,
Rivera said, he threw passes for
the first time. But when a reporter asked Rivera what he
would do when Wentz returns,
the coach responded: “You’re
most certainly ahead of yourself.

“I feel like I’ve been in this
situation a lot, where new coaches or this or that, and you have to
teach the new guys, like, this is
how we do it and this is the
mentality,”
continued
the
31-year-old Carr, who has played
under four coaches and two interim coaches in his nine years
with the Raiders. “That gets tiring, but at the same time, it’s my
job.”
At his introductory news conference in January, McDaniels
acknowledged he had had some
learning to do following the debacle that was his first go-round
in 2009-10 with the Denver Broncos.
Then the youngest head coach
in the NFL, McDaniels quickly
alienated players, fans and, before much longer, his bosses in
Denver with a perceived combination of arrogance, immaturity

I told you guys, we’ll play the
game and then I’ll decide when
it’s time to.”
On Monday, Heinicke will look
to bounce back from a poor
performance in last week’s loss
to the Minnesota Vikings. He
completed 15 of 28 passes for
149 yards, two touchdowns and
one interception in the 20-17
defeat, though it could have been
worse had a field official not
knocked down a Vikings defender to aid a 49-yard touchdown
pass to Curtis Samuel.
While the Commanders’ offense has struggled with both
quarterbacks under center —
scoring 1.4 points per drive with
Wentz and 1.7 with Heinicke per
the website TruMedia, both rates
in the bottom quarter of the NFL
— Heinicke has given the team a
spark with his fiery, mobile play.

JERRY BREWER

An exalted quarterback
isn’t a cure-all anymore
BREWER FROM D1

Finally, defenses have made
sustainable adjustments to
function against offenses
challenging them to make plays
in space. As Week 10 begins,
scoring is down in the NFL, and
this could end up being the
lowest-scoring NFL season in at
least 10 years.
To catch up, defenses aren’t
creating something new as much
as they are reimagining the old.
Two-high safety schemes are
popular again to dissuade
quarterbacks from throwing
deep. There are more speedy,
rangy, position-fluid athletes,
and defensive coordinators are
more flexible about accentuating
their skills. The evolution of
talent sways the style of play, but
when coaches resist change,
their teams flounder. When they

ning drive in Week 8 at the
Indianapolis Colts — to his ability to rebound from his worse
games.
“He’ll go give everything he’s
got on Monday, and he won’t let
the other stuff affect him,” Turner said. “We always have those
conversations, ‘Hey man, just go
play and be you. You’re not going
to always make the right decision. You’re always not going to
make the right throws, but if you
try to overthink it, you’re not
going to make any plays either.’
So he’ll bounce back.”
When asked whether he
viewed Monday night as a deciding factor in the quarterback
battle, Turner said, “You always
look at everything.”
“Ultimately, that’ll be Coach
[Rivera]’s decision,” Turner added. “We’ll have conversations
about it. We’ve got to wait and
see when Carson is healthy, so a
lot of that’s going to be up to the
trainers before we even put in
that situation. Right now, we’re
really just focused on getting
Taylor ready.”

one of them closer to the line of
scrimmage for run support.
Regardless of the blocking
scheme, power running games
have a chance again.
It’s about time the game
shifted. Last week, after Buffalo
suffered a 20-17 loss to the New
York Jets, Allen blamed himself
for a two-interception, five-sack
performance and declared, “It’s
tough to win in this league when
you’re playing a good team and
your quarterback plays like s---.”
Then we learned of his elbow
injury, which could cost him
some game time. It could derail
the season for Buffalo, which has
the highest ceiling of any team.
Or like Mahomes’s dislocated
kneecap during Kansas City’s
2019 championship season, it
could be necessary adversity that
helps to create Super Bowl
alignment for the Bills.
In a season that keeps
presenting obstacles for
quarterbacks, it’s better for Allen
to deal with trouble now. For as
good as the Bills are, they
depend heavily on the
quarterback’s heroics. Even if he
can play through the elbow pain,
this situation will ask more of
the Bills, and if they handle it
properly, they might acquire the
key to surviving this wacky year
of transition: more options for
the playoffs.

RUSTY COSTANZA/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Josh McDaniels is 2-6 and has frustrated stars in his first season as the Raiders’ coach, harking back to his failed stint with Denver.

and a lack of interpersonal skills,
not to mention some questionable personnel moves. After trading away a talented young quarterback in Jay Cutler and replacing him with Kyle Orton, followed by a simmering feud with
star wide receiver Brandon Marshall, McDaniels got off to a 6-0
start in his first season before the
bottom fell out. He went 5-17 the
rest of the way in Denver, with
the last straw appearing to be a
Spygate-like videotaping scandal
that earned McDaniels and the
team separate fines from the
league. He was fired by the Broncos with four games left in the
2010 season.
“When I went to Denver, I
knew a little bit of football,”
McDaniels said in January. “I
didn’t really know people and
how important that aspect of this
process and maintaining the cul-

ture and building the team was.
And I failed, and I didn’t succeed
at it.
“Looking at that experience
has been one of the best things in
my life in terms of my overall
growth as a person, as a coach.
What do I need to do different?
How do I need to handle my role
if I have another opportunity and
do better at it? I feel like that’s
really an area that I’ve tried to
grow in.”
After he was fired, McDaniels
returned to the Patriots, where he
remained until he accepted the
job with Las Vegas.
Actually, it appeared in 2018
that he accepted a job with
Indianapolis, which went so far
as to announce his agreement to
coach the Colts. But McDaniels
backed out later that evening,
and after it had a few days to
regroup, Indianapolis hired

As Wentz nears return,
Heinicke keeps his focus
COMMANDERS FROM D1

Reich.
Fast-forward four years, and
McDaniels might have learned
how to get along better with his
players, but he isn’t necessarily
on the same page with all of them
to judge from remarks made by
Las Vegas wide receiver Davante
Adams after the loss to the Jaguars. Adams went off in the first
half for 146 yards and two touchdowns on nine catches, helping
his team build a big lead, but he
was held to just one catch for zero
yards in a second half that saw
Jacksonville storm back to end a
five-game losing streak.
“There’s no reason why we
should be losing games like this,
and it’s frustrating,” Adams said
(via ESPN). “If we played for a
[expletive] team, then it’s one
thing. But that’s not what it is.”
“The way we were attacking in
the first half was working to a

certain extent,” the five-time Pro
Bowl selection added. “I feel like
we got away from that and started playing the game a little
different, and that’s not the way
we’ve got to do it. . . . If it ain’t
broke, don’t fix it.”
McDaniels addressed Adams’s
comments Tuesday, telling reporters, “I know what he meant
when he said that, and I don’t
take any of those things personally.”
Remarkably, the loss to the
Jaguars represented the third
time in eight games under McDaniels that Las Vegas lost after
building a lead of at least
17 points. That had happened
only five times in franchise history before this season (per CBS
Sports).
Whatever the reason, the collapse against the Jaguars inspired sharp criticism from,
among others, the man now
charged with coaching against
Las Vegas this week.
“Raiders look horrible,” Saturday, then an ESPN analyst, tweeted as Las Vegas faded in the
second half.
The Raiders’ most obvious issue lies on defense, which is not
McDaniels’s area of expertise.
They are allowing 25.1 points per
game, sixth worst in the NFL. But
the 22.9 points being scored by
their offense are good for just a
tie for 14th in the league. That’s
not much more than the 2021
squad averaged under disgraced
former coach Jon Gruden and
interim coach Rich Bisaccia.
Those Raiders went 10-7 and
made the playoffs.
“I trust our leadership. I trust
our captains. I trust our locker
room,” McDaniels said Monday.
“And they don’t have to feel good
about losing. People ask me, ‘Are
you concerned with them?’ No,
I’m not concerned with them.
They should be p----- off. We all
are. Losing sucks.”
McDaniels has only just arrived in Las Vegas, but if he
doesn’t find a way to reverse the
Raiders’ trend — starting with a
win over the reeling Colts — he
may find history repeating itself
in a quick exit.

many perception-building prime
time games have been atrocious.
But if the game is equalizing, it
ultimately will be a good thing.
And for all the low quality of the
regular season, a potential
playoff field full of mercurial
teams could make for riveting
drama.
It feels like a season in which
peaking at the right time will be
more important than ever. But in
determining which teams to
trust, don’t default to
overanalyzing quarterback play.
The group hugging the
Lombardi Trophy is often the
most balanced team featuring a
quarterback who ties it all
together. That’s different from
the savior quarterback. That guy
almost never wins, and he is
especially vulnerable this season,
when defenses are better
equipped to confuse signal
callers, limit their efficiency and
make their coaches regret piling
too much responsibility on them.
This is the NFL’s diabolical
dissonance: To build a consistent

It has been apparent to fans in
the stands and Eagles players on
tape as they studied the Commanders this week.
“The biggest thing is that they
are playing with a little more

juice,” Eagles linebacker Haason
Reddick told NJ.com. “Since Heinicke has been back there,
they’ve just been a little bit more
energetic.”
The offense can translate en-

ergy to production if it stops
absorbing negative plays. Heinicke said those setbacks, such as
batted passes or sacks, killed
good drives last week, and he
seemed a little frustrated because “this is kind of a weekly
deal.” Since Heinicke took over,
Washington has had the secondbest average distance to convert
third downs in the NFL
(5.6 yards), but it has converted
them at the fifth-worst rate
(31.6 percent).
“We’ve just got to either convert third downs or stop hurting
ourselves,” Heinicke said. “It’s
one of those two things. So I
think if we just keep working on
that, really honing on that and
practice and get better at those
things, we can put up some more
points.”
Offensive coordinator Scott
Turner said he didn’t expect
Heinicke to be fazed by a potential quarterback switch. He likened Heinicke’s mental toughness to move on after negative
plays — as he did by following an
interception with a game-win-

winner, you need a great
quarterback. But great
quarterbacks seldom lead you to
the promised land during their
best seasons.
A quarterback has won 14 of
the past 15 regular season MVP
awards, with only running back
Adrian Peterson disrupting the
dominance in 2012. But none of
those MVPs won the Super Bowl.
In fact, the MVP hasn’t led his
team to a championship since
Kurt Warner did it during the
1999 season.
Brady has seven rings and
three league MVPs, but he never
pulled off the double. Peyton
Manning won two rings and five
MVPs, but he couldn’t do it,
either. Rodgers is a four-time
MVP, but the Green Bay Packers
won the Super Bowl with him
during the 2010 season, when
they entered the playoffs as the
sixth seed in the NFC. Patrick
Mahomes didn’t lead the Kansas
City Chiefs to a title until a year
after his mind-boggling
5,097-yard, 50-touchdown
season as a first-time starter in
2018. Lamar Jackson couldn’t do
it in 2019 despite putting up
video game numbers as a passer
and runner.
During MVP seasons,
quarterbacks often carry their
teams to stellar records that
don’t reflect their ability to

adapt in the playoffs. It’s a given
that aspiring championship
teams need star-level
quarterback performance. Trent
Dilfer staying out of the
Baltimore Ravens’ way is an
aberration, and it’s more than
two decades old. Philadelphia
watched backup quarterback
Nick Foles acquire superpowers
during its Super Bowl run five
years ago, but that’s also not
repeatable. The most reasonable
path is to have a versatile team
capable of winning in multiple
ways — paired with a
quarterback who amplifies the
entire roster.
The Philadelphia Eagles, who
are underrated for an 8-0 team,
look the part. Their offense and
defense are among the top three
in the NFL. With Buffalo Bills
quarterback Josh Allen working
through an elbow injury, Hurts
might build an even stronger
MVP case now, and while that
wouldn’t bode well for the
Philadelphia’s championship
hopes, that streak must end
eventually. When it does end, it
probably will happen with a
player such as Hurts, who
manages to be the Eagles’ most
essential player without having
to be their everything.
They can win when he
struggles. Miles Sanders is a
solid running back. The

acquisition of wide receiver A.J.
Brown has transformed the
passing game, but tight end
Dallas Goedert and receiver
DeVonta Smith are terrific
complements. The Eagles don’t
have sufficient depth beyond
those three targets, making
health even more important. But
their greatest concern should be
their run defense — their one
obvious weakness — which has
yielded 5.2 yards per carry, 29th
out of 32 teams.
At times, the Eagles have been
so dominant that it can be hard
to discern whether the run
defense is a statistical weakness
or a legitimate fatal flaw. The
Eagles have won half of their
games by at least 12 points, and
the Bills (6-2) are the only team
with a better point differential.
But it’s something to monitor
during a season in which
running the football is
experiencing a renaissance.
Fourteen teams, nearly half
the league, are averaging at least
120 rushing yards per game. Five
years ago, just eight teams
reached that standard over the
entire season. Big, run-stuffing
defensive linemen aren’t as
abundant as they used to be.
There are also more
opportunities to run because
defenses are keeping both
safeties deep rather than putting

JONATHAN NEWTON/THE WASHINGTON POST

“Honestly, I don’t think about it,” Taylor Heinicke said about the
possibility of being replaced as the Commanders’ quarterback.

ROUNDUP

Victory — and Manchester City’s loss — keeps Gunners on top of EPL at break
ARSENAL 2,
WOLVERHAMPTON 0
A SSOCIATED P RESS
Arsenal will head into the
World Cup break with a fivepoint lead over Manchester City
in the English Premier League
after Martin Odegaard’s double
clinched a 2-0 win at Wolverhampton on Saturday.
The captain’s goals in the 55th
and 75th minutes showed City,
which lost, 2-1, to Brentford earlier in the day, that its crown is
under threat.
Mikel Arteta’s team is a genuine contender, grinding out a
12th victory in 14 matches with a
performance that demonstrated
its steel and composure.
Wolves will be in last place at
Christmas — league play resumes
Dec. 26 — but held its own for
long spells .

City’s surprise loss gave Arsenal the chance to push further
clear, but the visitors were initially frustrated.
Gabriel Jesus drilled home a
shot but was offside, and goalkeeper Jose Sa hurriedly turned
Bukayo Saka’s deflected cross
over.
The Gunners dominated the
ball, but despite its territorial
dominance, Arsenal struggled to
create clear openings — a credit
to Wolves. . . .
Ivan Toney issued the perfect
response to being omitted from
England’s World Cup squad by
scoring both goals in Brentford’s
shocking 2-1 win at Manchester
City. . . .
Joe Willock’s curling shot from
outside the area in the 67th minute for Newcastle condemned
visiting Chelsea to its third loss in
a row. . . .
Darwin Nunez signed off for
the World Cup in style by scoring
twice in Liverpool’s 3-1 home win

NIGEL FRENCH/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Martin Odegaard, center, scored twice for Arsenal, which will have
a five-point lead in the Premier League when play resumes.

against Southampton. . . .
In other matches, Rodrigo
Bentancur struck twice late as
host Tottenham came back from
behind three times to beat Leeds,

4-3, in London; Nottingham Forest escaped last place with a 1-0
win over visiting Crystal Palace;
Leicester won at West Ham, 2-0;
and host Bournemouth piled the

pressure on Everton Manager
Frank Lampard with a 3-0 win.
In Leicester’s win, James Maddison was injured two days after
he earned a surprise England
call-up for the World Cup, jeopardizing his chances of going to
Qatar.
Maddison, however, played
down the right hamstring problem that forced him off the field
soon after he opened the scoring
for Leicester.
l ITALY: Goals from Victor
Osimhen, Piotr Zielinski and Eljif
Elmas propelled host Napoli past
Udinese, 3-2, for its 11th straight
league victory to open up an
11-point gap on its closest pursuers in the Serie A race, Lazio and
AC Milan. . . .
Sampdoria fans loudly jeered
their team and continued protests at the stadium after the
game following a fourth straight
defeat, 2-0 to Lecce, left the club
mired in the bottom three amid
its worst start to the season. . . .

Pulisic was
born to be
‘Captain
America’
PULISIC FROM D1

So
yeah,
they
have
observations, even beyond their
volunteered raves for the unobtrusive turns of parenting that
holler from the Pulisic bio on a
planet rife with crummy sports
parenting.
“Just some of his mannerisms,”
Debbie Fine (George Mason 198689) said, can transport her to
“when Kelley would attack out of
the back” because of “just the way
he moves, his stride.”
They have the chops to know
the absurd rarity of what happened with a George Mason offspring lodged at a gigantic Chelsea. “It’s amazing particularly
when you understand that to
reach the success he’s reaching,
it’s not ‘difficult,’ ” Martin Dunphy
(George Mason 1986-89) said.
“It’s just almost impossibly difficult.”
They have a hunch that old
George Mason had a good root in
the most coveted American player to date even if he didn’t bother
being born until 1998. “They had
Gordon Bradley, from the U.K.; he
was the men’s soccer coach,”
Stephanie
Hylan
Recupero
(George Mason 1987-90) said. “He
was from Europe. He had
coached Pelé. Think about what
he brought to George Mason University. Coming from Europe.
Having coached at a high level
and some of the best players in
the world. Think about how high
he set the bar. So that’s what Mark
Pulisic was exposed to.” And
coach Hank Leung’s smashing
women’s program, “that’s what I
stepped into. I stepped into a
culture of winners, right? And
when I say I did, Kelley did, too.”
That’s Kelley Harlow (198992), later known as Pulisic, later
known as Mom.
They have a long raft of memories — of Pulisic in the backyard
kicking, in the driveway shooting,
at the golf course chipping, being
the tiniest sprite on the team yet
charging, being in the unforgiving academy of Dortmund in Germany as a teen, overcoming.
That’s how it goes with a groomsman from the Pulisic wedding,
Bob Lilley (George Mason 198487), who also happens to have
played and coached with Mark
Pulisic (1986-89).
As he noticed along the way, “A
lot of players went over to Italy or
Portugal or one of these countries, and I saw a lot of kids that
were in their national team’s setup go over and chase the dream in
Europe. And come back having
failed. You know what I’m saying?
And in some cases those players
are never the same. And I think
that’s happened to a lot of players:
They go over there, and they’re
not really ready for it.”
That’s the normal story, right?
“Absolutely. And it’s a very high
percentage.”
Now they have a 24-year-old
Pulisic coming up on their TVs
from Qatar, four years after the
American non-qualification Hylan calls “heartbreaking” and Lilley calls “devastating.” They have
that coming even as they have
their memories of when playing
soccer was sort of an eccentric
pursuit in the American construct, of when Lilley and Mark
Pulisic shared a house with some
other players, of when Fine, well:

JULIO CORTEZ/ASSOCIATED PRESS

Friends say Mark Pulisic’s son Christian inherited the attacking form that has made him an international star from his mother, Kelley.

GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS

GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS

Kelley (Harlow) Pulisic was a defender at George Mason from 1989
to 1992 and ranks fifth in consecutive games started with 72.

Mark Pulisic was a powerfully built forward at George Mason from
1986 to 1989 and is sixth on the school’s all-time goals list with 35.

“For four years, it was blood,
sweat and tears with his mom,”
she said, speaking from the Dallas-Fort Worth entanglement
where she helms a school special-education program. “For four
years, she was the anchor of our
team.”
So the kind of demanding and
stalwart defender every team
needs to avoid misery (Kelley),
still fifth in consecutive George
Mason games started (72), wound
up marrying a forward who arrived as a “journeyman” (Dunphy’s word) and toiled his way to
sixth all-time in George Mason
goals (35), especially with “garbage goals” (as Lilley calls them).
“I would drive up to George Ma-

had played football all his life.”
“He’s at Dortmund with other
German national team players,”
Lilley said, having visited when
Christian was 16. The sacrifice
included Mark shepherding
Christian to Europe while Kelley
stayed back teaching school.
“Those guys are talking to each
other, they all speak the same
language, and you’ve never been
in that environment before.”
They’re probably talking about
you, and they might say, “ ‘Why is
this American kid playing?’ ” as
Lilley surmised, while saying,
“You’re not going to play ahead of
a kid that’s German if you’re for
Dortmund unless you’re clearly
better than him.”

son on weekends in the summer,”
Hylan said, speaking from near
Boston where she’s a vice president of recruiting for a law firm.
“I would train with the guys. And
Mark was always there because
he was committed to the game.”
Once wedded, they proceeded
to raise something else.
“My father arranged for them
to go to the local under-10s” in
Waterford, Ireland, on a Pulisic
family visit with the lad still 7 or 8,
Dunphy said as an Irishman in
London, where he founded an
investment company. “It was obviously something that really resonated with him,” the way the kid
had “the close control, a comfortableness on the ball. My father

“When I went over there to
visit the first year, Christian
would be out the door early, going
over to school,” Lilley said from
Pittsburgh, where he manages
the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of
the American second tier. “Mark’s
going to get him from school, over
to the training center. He’s doing
homework. Then he’s meeting
with the adviser. Then he’s training. Then it’s like 7 at night, 7:30
at night. ‘Want to get something
to eat?’ This kid’s been going since
7:30, 8 in the morning, and you’re
doing that every day, you’d better
have soccer in your blood. You’re
either going to hit the mark or a
big club like Dortmund’s going to
move on.”

Also, host Bologna beat Sassuolo, 3-0.
l GERMANY: Bayern Munich
stretched its Bundesliga lead to
six points after a 2-0 road win
over Schalke in its final game
before the World Cup.
Bayern was without Sadio
Mané because of a fibula injury
that left the Senegal forward’s
World Cup participation in question. Canada left back Alphonso
Davies has a muscle issue, and
Bayern opted not to risk Thomas
Müller after the experienced German had a run of minor injuries. . . .
Leipzig rose to second place
with a 2-1 win at Bremen.
l FRANCE: Second-place Lens
moved within two points of Ligue
1 leader Paris Saint-Germain by
beating visiting Clermont, 2-1.
PSG hosts Auxerre on Sunday. . . .
In Saturday’s other Ligue 1
match, third-place Rennes beat
visiting Toulouse, 2-1.

Meanwhile, in came players
from Asia, Africa, all over footballing creation . . .
“Thirty kids maybe brought in,
and maybe only two end up playing with Dortmund’s first team.
Some end up playing for Stuttgart
or Schalke. It’s hard to make it
through the academy system all
the way to the top of the academy
system when you’re with a big
club. He never gets to transfer to
Chelsea if he’s not showing that
he can impact one of the teams.”
And now . . .
“And now you’re at Chelsea.”
And now you’re really captain,
America.
View it this way, as does Dunphy: The Ireland under-15 squad
for which Dunphy played backup
goalkeeper won in Europe in
1982, a great-big hell of a breakthrough. “And what happened?”
Dunphy said. “Not one of the guys
made it. All of those players,
which were fantastic, not one guy
made it. There’s so many factors
that can affect it.” Here’s one:
“Football, also, there’s so many
people playing it.”
So it’s no wonder they feel a
sort of a wow even if the whole
thing does make sense, which
Hylan believes it does given the
parents, and even if there can be
that occasional disconnect of, Really? It’s no wonder that after a
17-year-old Pulisic left Fine a ticket to a United States vs. Ecuador
friendly in Frisco near Dallas,
Fine kept the envelope with the
words, “ ‘Left by Christian Pulisic,’
with his handwriting on it.” It’s no
wonder that with Hylan and her
three accomplished teenage players, the first already booked to
play at Duke, “We talk about him
in our household from a learning
standpoint.”
In a house that boasts its various Pulisic jerseys, in an era when
kids can get up on Saturdays and
watch Europe, in an era when her
12-year-old son can rev up the
iPad and watch videos of matches
and techniques that preceded his
birth, they observe how Pulisic
“keeps overcoming odds, which I
love, and I actually talk about that
often with my own children.” It
becomes a moment in their house
across the Atlantic when he enters matches as a backup and she
tells them: “ ‘Watch, he’ll have five
minutes to produce, and he will.
He’ll make the most out of the
minutes he gets, which I find very
impressive.’ ”
“If he hits a roadblock,” Lilley
said, “he keeps working, keeps his
head down, and that very much
reminds me of Mark and Kelley
where they have that work ethic.”
So here come the parenting reviews. Lilley: “They would always
say, ‘You know, we’re not going to
push this on him.’ ” Fine: “It’s not
like they forced him to go outside
and kick a soccer ball 195 times.”
Lilley: “They didn’t have him just
playing. He was training and they
were measuring — rather than
having him get over his head. It
was always about, ‘Is he able to
express himself,’ rather than
throwing him in the deep end.
They were always patient.”
But then, Dunphy: “He plays
nothing like his father did. The
father was just built like a brick
s---house. Gigantic legs and
thighs, not particularly fast but
just barreling.”
The son, though: “Just so dangerous.”
Three different humans forged
this arc.
“What I love about him the
most,” Hylan said, “is he’s very
explosive. And his ability to attack opportunities and take people one-on-one is a game changer.
He makes things happen out of
nothing, actually.”
And so: “I hold my breath.”
A lot of that might go around
shortly.

Capitals’ Aube-Kubel is hit with three-game suspension
BY

S AMANTHA P ELL

Washington Capitals forward
Nicolas Aube-Kubel was suspended three games for an illegal
check to the head of Tampa Bay’s
Cal Foote, the NHL’s Department
of Player Safety announced Saturday.
Aube-Kubel delivered the
open-ice hit on Foote near the
Capitals’ blue line at 1:56 of the
second period in Washington’s
5-1 win on Friday.
Aube-Kubel received a fiveminute major and a match penalty on the play. Foote left the
game and did not return.
In a video announcing the
suspension, the league determined Foote’s head was the
“main point of contact” and the
blow to the head “was avoidable.”
Aube-Kubel will miss Washington’s game Sunday at Tampa
Bay, Tuesday’s game at Florida
and Thursday’s game at St. Louis.
He will forfeit $16,216.23 in salary. He will be eligible to return
Saturday for Washington’s game
against the Colorado Avalanche.
This is Aube-Kubel’s first suspension; he had been previously
fined twice.
Washington (7-7-2) plays Tampa Bay (7-6-1) again Sunday —
this time at Amalie Arena. It is
the start of a three-game trip for
the Capitals.
Lightning players and coaches
were upset with the hit after

JOHN MCDONNELL/THE WASHINGTON POST

Washington’s Nicolas Aube-Kubel was suspended for three games by the NHL for an open-ice hit on Tampa Bay’s Cal Foote on Friday.

Friday’s game. Coach Jon Cooper
said: “That [hit] defines the word
blind-side. It’s too bad we’re
playing them again [Sunday] because I doubt [Foote] will be
around to see the game.”
In addition to Aube-Kubel’s

suspension, winger Garnet Hathaway was fined $4,054.05, the
maximum allowable under the
CBA, for unsportsmanlike conduct in Friday’s game. Tampa
Bay’s Pat Maroon also was fined
$2,702.70. Hathaway and Ma-

roon fought while the officials
reviewed Aube-Kubel’s hit. Both
were assessed five-minute fighting majors and 10-minute misconduct penalties.
The Capitals also will be without Coach Peter Laviolette for

Sunday’s game. Laviolette entered the NHL’s covid-19 protocols Friday. He could rejoin the
team as soon as Tuesday — if he
tests negative twice Monday —
for the Capitals’ game against
the Panthers in Sunrise, Fla.

Assistant Coach Kevin McCarthy will continue head coaching
duties while Laviolette is sidelined.
Washington could see the return of defenseman Dmitry Orlov at some point during the
team’s trip. He has missed the
past three games with a lowerbody injury. He skated the past
few days, most recently Saturday
during the team’s optional practice before Washington flew to
Tampa.
With Aube-Kubel ineligible to
play Sunday, the Capitals will
have to decide which forward —
Joe Snively or Connor McMichael — will enter Washington’s
lineup. Snively and McMichael
have played in four games each
without recording a point.
Snively last played Nov. 3
against Detroit; McMichael last
played Nov. 5 against Arizona.

FLYERS 1
A SSOCIATED P RESS
For 14 seasons, Philadelphia
Flyers fans were used to seeing
Claude Giroux set up a pair of
goals and help his team win a
game.
On Saturday, they saw it again,
but for the first time it didn’t help
the Flyers. Giroux had two assists
in his return to Philadelphia, Alex
DeBrincat scored a pair of powerplay goals, and the Ottawa Sena-

tors snapped a seven-game winless streak by beating the Flyers,
4-1.
Giroux, 34, was greeted with a
standing ovation that extended
for several minutes. But once the
puck dropped, it was clear he was
with a new team, and he helped
set up Ottawa’s Thomas Chabot
for a goal.
In the third period, Giroux,
while quarterbacking the power
play, made a pass off the end
boards to DeBrincat on the far
side of the net, who jammed it in
for his second goal of the game
and fourth of the season.
Giroux has 14 points in

14 games with the Senators after
he signed with them in the offseason.
DeBrincat netted his first goal
also on a power play. Tim Stutzle
and Brady Tkachuk set him up
with a well-executed tic-tac-toe
pass that found DeBrincat alone
at the side of the net for an easy
tap-in tally.
The Flyers took three consecutive penalties — the first two late
in the second period and then
another early in the third period
— leading to two Ottawa goals.
Stutzle added an empty-net
goal and Cam Talbot made
37 saves for the Senators.

Hoyas use big second half to rout Phoenix, improve to 2-0
GEORGETOWN 92,
GREEN BAY 58
BY

P ATRICK S TEVENS

Brandon Murray walked into
Saturday’s postgame news conference with a wrestling-style title belt adorned with the phrase
“Hoya toughness” after Georgetown dispensed with Wisconsin
Green Bay, 92-58.

Murray and Georgetown haven’t won a championship during
the first week of the season. Far
from it. Yet such a mix of frivolity
and dedication can’t help but be a
welcome development for the
Hoyas after last year’s 6-25 slog.
Murray, a transfer from LSU,
had 19 points and seven assists as
Georgetown (2-0) dominated the
second half after a sleepy start to
an 11 a.m. tip before 4,583 at
Capital One Arena.
“He makes all the right plays,”

Coach Patrick Ewing said. “He
makes all the right passes. He gets
on my nerves from time to time,
but he makes all the right plays.”
Duquesne transfer Primo
Spears had 21 points and five
assists, center Qudus Wahab
posted 18 points and seven rebounds a game after he was
saddled with three first-half
fouls, and reserve sophomore
guard Jordan Riley scored a career-high 11 points for the Hoyas.
Clarence Cummings III scored

14 points and D.C. native Zae
Blake had 13 off the bench for the
Phoenix (0-2).
The 34-point margin was
Georgetown’s largest since a
102-67 rout of Howard on Dec. 29,
2018. The Hoyas shot 62.3 percent from the field, their most
efficient day since they connected
on 63.8 percent at Butler on
Jan. 28, 2017, during their final
season under former coach John
Thompson III.
Georgetown didn’t appear

headed for such a comfortable
victory when it took a 31-29 lead
into the break against a Green
Bay team that also lost 25 games
last season and added 10 new
players this season. That start
was even more ominous in the
wake of a 99-89 overtime triumph Tuesday over a weary Coppin State team that played a night
earlier.
But the Hoyas ripped off a 15-2
run to begin the second half
Saturday and only committed

one turnover in the final 20 minutes after making 10 in the first
half.
“Our energy was a lot different,” Murray said. “We all had the
same mind-set that we have to
run the score up and we have to
pass it more. The ball was sticking a lot in the first half, and then
in the second half we started
moving the ball.”
Georgetown shot 70.3 percent
(26 for 37) and had 13 assists in
the second half.

MLB’s integration struggle started with Robinson in 1947 but didn’t end there
BY

F REDERIC J . F ROMMER

Major League Baseball recently
wrapped up its season-long celebration of the 75th anniversary of
Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier, beginning with “Hamilton” star Leslie Odom Jr. narrating
a video tribute to Robinson and
ending with a nationally televised
World Series promotion.
But if the high-profile commemoration gave the impression
baseball solved its integration
problem 75 years ago, history provides a much more complicated
story. After Robinson’s debut with
the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15,
1947, progress was haltingly slow
across the sport.
Two other ballclubs integrated
that year — the Cleveland Indians
and St. Louis Browns. But over the
next five years, just three more
teams — the New York Giants,
Boston Braves and Chicago White
Sox — followed suit. And Robinson was not shy about calling out
the holdouts, beginning with the
New York Yankees.
On Nov. 30, 1952, about two
months after the Yankees beat the
Dodgers in a seven-game World
Series, Robinson appeared on the
NBC News show, “Youth Wants to
Know.” A boy asked Robinson
whether he believed there was
prejudice, and he replied, “Yes,”
according to the New York Times.
Explaining he was referring to the
club executives and not the players, Robinson said, “I think the
members of the Yankees team are
fine sportsmen and wonderful
gentleman, but there isn’t a single
Negro on the team now, and there
are very few in the entire Yankee
farm system.”
“It seems to me,” he elaborated
in a follow-up interview with the
Times, “the Yankees front office
has used racial prejudice in its
dealings with Negro ball players.”
Yankees vice president George
M. Weiss claimed in an interview
with the Associated Press that
wasn’t the case.
“Our attitude always has been
that when a Negro comes along
who can play good enough ball to
win a place on the Yankees we will
be glad to have him but not just for
exploitation,” Weiss said.
Some sportswriters defended
the Yankees. In a 1955 Times
sports column, Arthur Daley
wrote:
“The charge has been leveled
against the New York Yankees that
they have been prejudiced against
Negroes. It has been made mostly
by irresponsible persons who
point to the fact that the Bombers
have never had one on their squad.
It also has been made by the sensitive and crusading Jackie Robinson.”
Daley said he “never believed a
word of it. The men in the Yankee
front office have stubbornly refused to be panicked into hiring a
Negro just because he was a Negro.”
But Roger Kahn would recount

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle
Tom’s Cabin.”)
Briggs’s great-grandson, Harvey Briggs, wrote a 2017 opinion
piece in the Detroit Free Press
condemning the late owner as a
racist.
The Red Sox were the final holdouts. Back in 1945, under local
political pressure, they had given a
tryout to Robinson, along with
two other Black players, but Robinson said years later he knew it
was a sham and that he would
never hear from the team.
The Red Sox finally integrated
in July 1959 with infielder Pumpsie Green but not without attracting criticism over how they treated him. Boston sent Green down
to the minors before the season
even though he hit .327 in spring
training.
“The Red Sox won no prizes this
spring for the way they treated
Pumpsie Green,” Boston Globe
columnist Harold Kaese wrote.
Kaese noted that Green spent
half of spring training living alone
in a motel on the outskirts of Phoenix, 10 miles away from where the
rest of the team lived in Scottsdale,
Ariz., because the “exclusive”
Scottsdale hotels wouldn’t let him
stay at their establishments. “The
Red Sox should not have lived in
Scottsdale themselves under such
conditions,” he wrote.
LARRY FRENCH/GETTY IMAGES/NATIONAL ARCHIVES FOUNDATION

A photo of Jackie Robinson was displayed last month at the opening reception of an exhibit at the National Archives Museum in D.C.

in his 1972 baseball classic “The
Boys of Summer” that the real
reason was in fact prejudice as
Robinson had suspected. Kahn
wrote that a high-ranking Yankees
executive told him at the 1952
World Series that he would never
allow a Black player to wear a
Yankees uniform. “We don’t want
that sort of crowd,” the executive
said after three martinis, according to Kahn. “It would offend boxholders from Westchester to have
to sit with” Black people, using the
n-word.
Only ‘if he belonged’
By 1952, 10 of the sport’s
16 teams had yet to feature a Black
player on their major league roster, but the track record was better
in New York. The city was home to
three teams at the time, and the
Yankees were the only one that
remained all White. The Giants
had integrated in 1949 with two
players — Hank Thompson and
future Hall of Famer Monte Irvin
(although Thompson made his
MLB debut two years earlier with
the Browns). Willie Mays joined
the team in 1951.
Publicly, some owners would
use the same justification Weiss
did.
Writing in a 1952 Sporting
News retrospective, Washington
Senators owner Clark Griffith
complained that a few years earlier “subversive persons came to
Washington from New York, and
picketed our ballpark. I was ac-

cused of discrimination against
Negro players.”
“I stand ready, and eager, to
place Negro players on our Washington club,” Griffith wrote. “But
they must rate the jobs on the
basis of ability, and not merely
because they happen to be Negroes. I will not sign a Negro for
the Washington club merely to
satisfy subversive persons. I would
welcome a Negro on the Senators
if he rated the distinction, if he
belonged among major-league
players.”
The Yankees could at least
claim they were fielding a great
team despite their refusal to integrate the roster. The Senators
could not. They hadn’t won a pennant since 1933 and often finished
at or near the bottom of the American League standings.
Momentum to fully integrate
baseball didn’t build until the mid1950s. In 1954, the Senators finally
put a Black player on the roster,
outfielder Carlos Paula, making
them one of four teams to integrate that year. In 1955, eight years
after their crosstown rivals had
done so in Brooklyn — and a year
after the Supreme Court ruled that
segregated schools were unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education — the Yankees debuted
their first Black player, catcher
Elston Howard. His first game
came in the home opener of the
Boston Red Sox, where Fenway
fans, still waiting for their own
team to have a Black player, gave

him a rousing welcome.
“This is the first time I have ever
been in Boston, and the people
applauded me like that,” Howard
said after the game. “It was real
nice.”
The Yankees were the 13th team
to integrate.
The last holdouts
Robinson retired after the 1956
season — nine years after his debut — and strikingly, there were
still three teams that had yet to
employ a Black player: the Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers
and Red Sox. Again, Robinson
challenged the status quo.
“I can’t understand why 13 major league clubs have Negro players and the other three clubs can’t
come up with any. I don’t know if
it’s their scouting systems or
what,” Robinson told Boston reporters in February 1957, following a breakfast with Mayor John B.
Hynes to launch Robinson’s local
campaign for the NAACP’s freedom fund drive.
When told at the news conference the Red Sox had two players
on their San Francisco farm club,
Robinson replied: “That doesn’t
mean a thing. They don’t have any
on the Red Sox roster.”
Rick Swaine, author of “The
Integration of Major League Baseball: A Team by Team History,”
said there was a simple explanation for the slow progress by most
teams.
“I don’t think they wanted to

hire Black people. It was largely
racism,” Swaine said in a telephone interview. “They actually
thought Blacks were inferior players, even though they had proven
to be as good if not better than the
White players. And they were
cheaper.”
Around this time, Phillies owner Robert Carpenter trotted out
the same rationale for his allWhite team that the Yankees and
Senators had used. “I’m not opposed to Negro players. But I’m
not going to hire a player of any
color or nationality just to have
him on the team,” he said, according to the “The Phillies Encyclopedia” by Rich Westcott and Frank
Bilovsky.
The Phillies became the last National League team to integrate in
1957, when 30-year-old John Kennedy came into the game as a
pinch runner. His career consisted
of two at-bats across five games.
The Tigers were next, bringing
up infielder Ozzie Virgil from the
minors in 1958. Virgil, who already had played two seasons for
the Giants, was also the first Dominican player in the majors. His
Detroit debut followed a local boycott campaign that pressured the
Tigers to integrate. And it came six
years after the death of team owner Walter O. Briggs, whom Black
sportswriter Wendell Smith described as “Oh so very prejudiced.
He’s the major league combination of Simon Legree and Adolf
Hitler.” (Legree was the villain in

Keeping up the pressure
Robinson, meanwhile, would
continue to press baseball on its
hiring practices. When MLB honored him at the 1972 World Series
to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his debut, Robinson —
just nine days before his death at
53 — used the occasion to urge a
major league team to hire the
sport’s first Black manager.
At the time, Dusty Baker had
just finished his first full season as
a player. A half-century later, Baker this month became the third
Black manager to win a World
Series when his Houston Astros
beat the Phillies. (The first two
were Cito Gaston of the Toronto
Blue Jays and Dave Roberts of the
Los Angeles Dodgers.)
Baker has talked about growing
up in Southern California and
idolizing Robinson, whose No. 42
is worn across baseball on April 15
to commemorate his debut.
“I’ve kept every Jackie Robinson Day jersey that we’ve had,”
Baker said in April. “It means a lot
to me. I think of my dad a lot on
this day.
“All the time I was growing up
as a kid, my dad would always
remind me when I would get in a
scrap or scuffle or something, especially like a racial scuffle, my
dad would also tell me to think
about what Jackie would do.”
Frederic J. Frommer, a writer and
sports historian, is the author of
several books, including “You Gotta
Have Heart: Washington Baseball
from Walter Johnson to the 2019
World Series Champion Nationals.”

MARYLAND BOYS’ SOCCER SEMIFINALS

Defensive Bulldogs make Adekanmbi’s early goal stand up
cross to regain the lead.
“It was a great feeling,” Muldoon said of the goal. “That’s the
kind of stuff you think about when
you’re in your room or before the
season. It’s what I thought about
when I was young and I was a
ballboy for this team. A great feeling.”

BOWIE 1,
URBANA 0
BY

M ICHAEL E RRIGO

For much of Saturday’s Maryland 4A semifinal, the Bowie boys’
soccer team was handed a strenuous task: protect a one-goal lead.
After senior Kingsley Adekanmbi
scored in the opening 10 minutes,
the Bulldogs knew their passage
to the team’s first state title game
since 2011 would only be granted
with patience and plenty of defense.
“To me, a 1-0 game is a lot
harder than 0-0 because you’re
trying to get another one but you
have to be so cautious,” Adekanmbi said. “Especially at the end, we
were just trying to keep the lead.”
Their efforts paid off at the final
whistle as the Bulldogs earned a
1-0 win over Urbana in Silver
Spring.
The Bulldogs (16-2) have long
been a program to fear and respect
in Prince George’s County, winners of nine state championships
and a constant producer of talent.
Often times, it is early November
when a successful Bulldogs team
looks to push a season from good
to great by winning games such as
this one. Last fall, the team fell to
Northwest in a dramatic and controversial semifinal.
This year, Urbana (14-5), a twotime state champion out of Frederick County, was not provided too
many opportunities to break the
Bulldogs’ hearts. After Adekanmbi gave Bowie a 1-0 lead, it tightened its defense and allowed few
scoring looks.
Perhaps the most dangerous
came with two minutes remaining
in the match as Urbana earned a
fast-developing
two-on-one
break. A Hawks forward drew
near to Bulldogs goalkeeper Ronaldo Sosa and then ripped a rightfooted shot toward the net. Sosa
shot his arms up just in time, and
the ball rocketed off his hands and
out of danger.

Centennial rallies in 3A
In the 3A bracket, Centennial
will represent Howard County in
the state title game after it beat
Wicomico County’s J.M. Bennett
High, 2-1, in Friday’s semifinal in
Crofton. Down 1-0 at halftime, the
Eagles (14-1-1) scored twice in the
first 20 minutes of the second half
to take down the defending state
champion Clippers.
“It always feels like a lot more
pressure when you have something to lose,” Eagles Coach Justin
Thomas said. “We bent a little bit
holding on to that lead, but we
didn’t break.”
Centennial, a dominant program in the 1980s and ’90s, is
chasing its ninth state championship but first since 1995.
“The way this group can handle
a setback, can accept a setback but
not put their heads down is what
I’m proudest of,” Thomas said. “It’s
very easy to lose confidence [down
1-0], but they settled. And I’m so
proud of the way they got back in
it.”

AMANDA ANDRADE-RHOADES FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Kingsley Adekanmbi’s goal put Bowie ahead in the opening 10 minutes Saturday. The Bulldogs will play Severna Park in the 4A final.

“It was just timing and reaction,” Sosa said. “As a goalkeeper, if
you think too much you’re done.
You start questioning decisions,
you’re done. You just have to act.”
This coming week, the Bulldogs
will travel to Loyola University for
the 4A title game. They will face
Severna Park, which won Saturday night’s semifinal against Blair.
“Funny enough, our motivation

for winning this game wasn’t to
make the championship but just
to be able to keep training together,” Sosa said. “And I did not want
this to be over.”
In the second semifinal, Severna Park came alive in the second
half to earn a 2-1 win over the host
Blazers.
This was the Falcons’ second
consecutive trip to the state semi-

finals, and they made it count by
earning the program’s first trip to
a championship since 2017.
After a scoreless first half in
which Blair created the majority
of chances, Severna Park opened
the scoring 15 minutes into the
second half when senior defender
Gavin Simpkins poked the ball in
during a scrum in the box. Blair,
seemingly undaunted by the dras-

tic swing of momentum, responded with an equalizer seconds later.
The kickoff turned into an immediate attack, one that was finished off by junior Oscar Rivas.
With the home crowd in full
throat, Severna Park stayed
steady, and its persistence was
rewarded with 20 minutes remaining when senior defender
Owen Muldoon finished off a

Glenelg into 2A final
In the 2A bracket, Glenelg
avenged a painful loss from last
season by defeating Wicomico
County’s Parkside, 2-0, on Friday
night in Gaithersburg to punch its
ticket to the coming week’s championship.
The Gladiators (10-4-2) were
handed a rematch of last year’s
state semifinal, where they fell to
Parkside, 1-0. They took full advantage of this second chance,
scoring two second-half goals.
Glenelg will make its first trip to
the final since 1997. It will face
North Harford, which defeated
Lackey in the other 2A semifinal
Saturday.

FAIRFAX 2,
COLONIAL FORGE 0
BY

I AN D ECKER

fredericksburg, va. — At half-

time of the Class 6 state semifinal
Saturday, Fairfax midfielder Halley Beaudoin took the clipboard
from her mother, Coach Amber
Beaudoin, and broke down the
team’s pressing formation.
Halley Beaudoin, one of the
team’s senior captains, provided
strong play and guidance. Kaia
Beaudoin, her younger sister, provided a key goal. Together, they
helped lead Fairfax to its first
state final appearance after it defeated Colonial Forge, 2-0, at Massaponax High.
The Lions (23-1-1) had previously lost seven times in the semifinals. They will play Yorktown at
noon Sunday at Courtland High
in Spotsylvania.
“They are like little coaches on
the field, especially Halley,” Am-

ber Beaudoin said of her daughters. “She’s not only our captain
but our field general. She really
sets the tone for our team.”
One of Fairfax’s objectives was
to establish a quick tempo in the
first five minutes, which the team
executed early.
Less than a minute after the
game started, senior forward
Kennedy Bailey tore down the
right wing and blew by two Colonial Forge defenders before delivering a ball into the circle. Junior
midfielder Kelly Via tapped the
ball onto the stick of unmarked
senior midfielder Ripley Collins,
who buried a shot past Eagles
goalkeeper Kate Young.
“I like that we came out and
scored early,” Amber Beaudoin
said. “That was one of our goals
for the game, really setting the
tone and establishing the swing,
and I thought we did that really
well early.”
Despite conceding the early
goal, Colonial Forge (14-8) held
Fairfax to just three corners and
six shots.

MARYLAND CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Reloaded Severna Park
claims the sweep in 4A
BY

S PENCER N USBAUM

After years as the standardbearer for Maryland’s cross-country scene, Severna Park entered
Saturday morning’s Class 4A
meet in Parkdale as a championship hopeful, not a shoo-in. The
girls had only narrowly won the
region championship, while nine
of the top 10 runners from the
boys’ 2021 state championship
team graduated, leaving a perennially dominant program seemingly in limbo.
And yet the Falcons again
planted their flag atop the state’s
hierarchy, with an underclassmen-laden girls’ team ending a
two-season title drought and the
boys’ team capturing its fifth consecutive championship.
“No matter what, [a state title]
is the goal,” said senior Cami
Glebocki, whose finish in 20 minutes 7.5 seconds was good for
ninth in the girls’ race.
“This is the deepest team from

my four years. . . . At the beginning of the summer when we
started our training, we were like,
‘Wow, this is the year, state
champs.’ ”
On Saturday, seven new runners — including two sub-17:30
runners in senior Chris Nunn and
junior Taylor Jarvis — propelled
the boys to 101 points, besting
Churchill (112) and Whitman
(114).
The Poolesville boys’ team won
its second-straight state title in
the 2A meet, following up a historic victory at October’s Montgomery County cross-country
championships. Seniors Aaron
Longbrake and Caleb Dastrup
were the team’s top runners, placing third and fourth. The girls’
team placed second, with junior
Daisy Dastrup third among individual athletes.
In 4A, Blair senior Frederick
Alfonso-Frank (16:47.2) was the
top local runner, earning silver
behind senior Ty Dailey (16:25.2)

At the 9:45 mark of the third
quarter, Halley Beaudoin received a penalty corner pass and
played it out wide to Via. Via
knocked the ball into the center of
the circle, where Kaia Beaudoin
struck a reverse chip that deflected over Young, doubling the Lions’ advantage.
“It was just the communication
of my other teammates and the
movement of my players cutting
back posts, as well as the passing
between Halley and [Via],” Kaia
Beaudoin said of her goal.
Ahead of Sunday’s final, Amber
Beaudoin had a simple message
for her team: “One more.”
Dynamic duo lead Yorktown
Even after Yorktown senior
midfielder Emily Stafford graduates this spring, she won’t have to
wait long before reuniting with
junior forward Alexis Williams on
the turf; both have committed to
play field hockey at the University
of Pennsylvania.
And in Saturday’s Class 6 semifinal against Western Branch at

of Dulaney. Richard Montgomery
senior Noah Fisher (16:59.2)
placed third.
In the girls’ race, the Falcons
(100) outpaced Walter Johnson
(117) and Wootton (125). Runners
on the girls’ team said the program’s success has come from a
selfless approach.
“Our team is more focused on
the whole than the individual,”
junior Sarah Kelly said. “It’s really
just how strong our team bond
is.”
After finishing last year’s state
meet over a minute behind the
front of the pack, Leonardtown
junior Elena Blodnikar pulled
ahead of Bethesda-Chevy Chase
junior Varri Higgins in the final
mile to take home individual gold
in Class 4A.
Blodnikar (18:58.8) ran the
lone sub-19 minute time, with
Higgins (19:19.8) and Whitman
sophomore Katherine Greenwald
(19:25.8) next to finish.
In Class 3A, Howard junior
Kiley Mann and Reservoir freshman Ela Muniz were the lone
local top-10 finishers on the girls’
side. Centennial seniors Sebastian Martinez (16:26.4) and Antonio Camacho-Bucks (16:36.5)
earned respective third- and fifthplace medals, leading the boys’
team to third place.

Massaponax High, the future
Quakers propelled their team to a
2-0 victory.
Midway through the first quarter, Stafford picked up the ball
and hit a hard shot that Williams
tipped past Western Branch goalie Berkley Miller.
“[Stafford and Williams] scoring that first goal was pretty cool,”
Yorktown Coach Olivia Shipley
said.
After years of playing together,
Stafford and Williams have developed a telepathic-like bond on the
field.
“We work really well together,”
Stafford said. “We just know how
to play off each other.”
Saturday afternoon pitted the
2021 Class 6 finalists against each
other once more; the Patriots beat
the Bruins last year, 1-0, for their
first state title. This time, however, Yorktown (17-3) controlled
possession and dictated the
match’s tempo to shut out Western Branch (13-6).
“Overall, we came out super
calm, composed, controlled and

were able to maintain possession
and have a ton of offensive opportunities,” Shipley said.
The Patriots could have added
to their offensive tally had it not
been for Miller’s sublime play in
net. The junior made myriad
saves, denying a potent Yorktown
attack and finishing with 11 stops,
many of which kept her side within striking distance.
But with the Bruins’ offense
stalling — Western Branch had
just one penalty corner — Yorktown doubled its lead in the final
frame. Stafford jogged to the left
corner with two minutes to play
and found sophomore midfielder
Laney Reiser at the top of the
circle. Reiser then took a step
back and launched a shot that
clattered off the back of the goal.
“We’re excited to play Fairfax,”
Stafford said. “It’s always been a
really great matchup against
them, and they’re a very good and
competitive team that pushes us.”

VIRGINIA CLASS 6 CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS

Spartans surge to glory;
Cavaliers topple champs
BY

S PENCER N USBAUM

The West Springfield girls and
W.T. Woodson boys entered Saturday morning’s Class 6 crosscountry championships in Leesburg as slim favorites. In the early
afternoon they both finished —
narrowly — as Virginia state
champions.
For the Spartans, tight margins
in earlier fall victories expanded a
target on their backs: a threepoint victory over Woodson in
mid-October and a two-point
margin at last week’s region
championship — with a competitive Langley team also in the mix
— made the state meet a threeteam spectacle.
All three teams found their way
to the podium Saturday, but it
was West Springfield (51 points)
and its four top-15 finishers that
again got the best of Langley (59)
and Woodson (80) on the
5,000-meter course.
“We were crying and hugging.

It was a special moment for our
team,” said West Springfield
sophomore Adeline Barker, who
finished ninth with a time of
19 minutes 27 seconds.
In the boys’ race, Woodson
(57 points) knocked off defending
champion Oakton (70) for its first
title since 2018. Senior Samik
Bhinge, who finished 11th (16:36),
said he and his teammates closed
their eyes Friday and visualized
what success might look like.
Senior Daniel Cassata, the team’s
next-fastest runner, said the Cavaliers’ title quest began the moment they placed third last year.
The nerves took three hours off
his sleep schedule.
Around the two-mile mark, a
teammate yelled that the Cavaliers were behind pace. So in a
move that has driven their ascent
this season, they pushed ahead as
a pack. All five scorers placed
inside the top 25.
“When you’re running and you
see a Woodson jersey, you know

die DiLuigi scored for Independence, but the Tigers came up just
short in the Class 5 semifinals
against 23-time state champion
Cox.
The Ashburn school lost, 3-2, in
double overtime to finish 21-2 this
season.
“Amazing season for these
players,” Independence Coach
Jennifer Darrow said via email.
“We set ourselves up to play harder teams this season. . . . We wanted to prepare ourselves for this
game.”
Cox, out of Virginia Beach, has
won the past three Class 5 titles as
well as the Class 6 championship
in 2018.
Loudoun Valley knocked out
Loudoun Valley scored a second-half equalizer to force overtime in its semifinal match but
eventually fell to two-time defending Class 4 champion Great
Bridge, 1-0 in a shootout, after the
game ended 1-1.
The Vikings finished 20-3 on
the season.

you’re not alone,” Cassata said.
Herndon senior Gillian Bushée
capped her immaculate season
with an individual victory in the
girls’ race, completing the course
in 18:17 to outpace McLean senior
Thais Rolly (18:45) and West
Springfield
junior
Aidan
MacGrath (18:50).
The past three seasons have
produced a string of virtual tossups between Bushée and Rolly,
with Bushée winning by less than
a second at the region championship. But Bushée, who entered
particularly motivated after she
passed out 150 meters from the
finish line in last year’s meet
because of an issue with her iron
levels, sprung ahead in the final
kilometer.
“We’re lucky — or maybe unlucky — since we’re both nationally ranked runners and yet we’re
from the same district,” Bushée
said. “Since sophomore year,
we’ve helped each other PR. I just
felt good today.”
South County senior Isaac Garcia (15:46) was the top local boys
runner, jockeying with Franklin
County senior Nathan Atchue for
the state title before Atchue
(15:43) pulled ahead. Junior
Nayan Kasperowski, Garcia’s
South County teammate, placed
third.

MARYLAND GIRLS’ SOCCER SEMIFINALS

In rematch against Bruins, Cougars’ win is worth the wait
QUINCE ORCHARD 1,
BROADNECK 0
BY

K YLE M ELNICK

After Quince Orchard midfielder
Caroline
Donmoyer
scored midway through the first
half Saturday afternoon, her
teammates ran to the top of the
box to celebrate. Instead, the
scene turned frightening as Donmoyer lay on the turf holding her
stomach.
It was an anticlimactic sequence for a long-awaited moment for the Cougars in the Maryland 4A semifinals. But once
Quince Orchard completed its 1-0
win over Broadneck, players released their pent-up excitement
by storming Blair High’s field and
jumping in a huddle around the
30-yard line in Silver Spring.
By winning a rematch of its
semifinal loss last year, Quince
Orchard qualified for its first
championship game since 2008.
The Cougars will play Montgomery County rival Whitman, which
beat Blair in the other semifinal,
in next week’s 4A final at Loyola
University in Baltimore.
“After last year’s loss,” Quince
Orchard midfielder Annie Faraone said, “we were thinking: ‘We
cannot lose to them again. We
have to make them feel the way
we felt when they beat us.’ ”
Quince Orchard’s season ended in penalty kicks against Broadneck (14-1-4) last year. That season, the Cougars played in honor
of Coach Peg Keiller, who battled
Stage 4 colon cancer. Keiller beat
the cancer in June, good news she
believed allowed the Cougars
(14-3) to focus on soccer.
On the opening day of school in
September, Quince Orchard defender Lizzie Gelman walked into
her first classroom and wrote
“QO girls’ soccer to states” on the
whiteboard. The team’s intensity
changed after its loss to rival
Northwest on Sept. 29. About two
weeks later, the Cougars beat two
of Montgomery County’s top
teams, Wootton and BethesdaChevy Chase.
Broadneck’s defense spearheaded its undefeated run, so
Quince Orchard players believed

AMANDA ANDRADE-RHOADES FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

After a loss to Broadneck ended its season in 2021, Quince Orchard took down the Bruins this year to secure its first state championship game appearance since 2008.

scoring first Saturday could secure a victory. That goal came in
the 17th minute, when Donmoyer
sprinted to reach a cross in the
box as Broadneck’s goalkeeper
ran out of the net for the ball.
Donmoyer reached the ball first
to score on an empty goal. The
sophomore said she was kneed in
the stomach, but she returned to
the field about 10 minutes later.
“It’s all mental once it comes
down to you and the keeper about
who’s going to get there first,”
Donmoyer said, “and how much
you’re willing to get there.”
Quince Orchard concentrated

on defending the remainder of
the game. The Cougars have outscored their four postseason opponents 12-0.
“It’s actually kind of surreal,
even though I’ve been here before,” said Keiller, who began
coaching the Gaithersburg program in 1999. “It’s been a long
time, and you know at this point
last year, I wasn’t even sure if I’d
be coaching this year. I just didn’t
know how things would go. So to
be able to come back this year and
come back healthy and just have
this kind of run again, it’s just
phenomenal.”

Quince Orchard will be challenged against Whitman, which
defeated the Cougars twice this
season by a combined score of
5-0. On Saturday, the Vikings
(15-1) defeated Blair, 2-0, to earn
an opportunity to defend last
year’s championship, which came
against Broadneck.
Midway through the first half
against Blair (14-3), midfielder
Isabella Fezza corralled the ball
during a scuffle in the box and
scored. With 15:46 remaining in
the first half, Blair blocked Fezza’s
shot, but midfielder Evelyn Javers collected the rebound and

scored.
Whitman’s loss to B-CC on
Oct. 10 is the Bethesda program’s
lone defeat since Oct. 7, 2021.
“After B-CC, everything kind of
clicked in our head that we’re not
unbeatable,” Javers said. “Everyone started realizing how important it was to be at the top of our
game every single game, no matter who the opponent was.”
Hebron, Crofton advance
Mount Hebron and Crofton
will meet in the 3A final after
each won its semifinal Saturday
afternoon at Crofton in Gam-

brills. Reigning champion Hebron (13-2-1) beat Oakdale, 1-0,
for its 11th shutout this season.
Second-year Anne Arundel County program Crofton (14-3-1) defeated Huntingtown, 4-0.
Glenelg reaches 2A final
On Friday, Glenelg beat Hereford, 3-2, in the 2A semifinals at
Gaithersburg High. With her
team trailing by two early goals,
Gladiators forward Stephanie
Lathrop scored twice. Glenelg
(13-3) will attempt to defend last
year’s championship against Century.

MARYLAND 4A FIELD HOCKEY FINAL

Broadneck breaks through Churchill’s defense to cap an undefeated season
BROADNECK 2,
CHURCHILL 0
BY

T RAVIS C HASE

owings mills, md. — Broad-

neck and Churchill entered Saturday’s 4A state championship
field hockey match knowing every goal would be precious. The
Bruins were undefeated, never
having allowed more than two
goals in a game. Churchill, also
unbeaten, had allowed just two

goals all year.
So when Broadneck midfielder
Lexi Dupcak tapped a pass
toward the top of the striking
circle and fellow senior Maya
Everett whirled the ball into the
back left corner of the net to put
the Bruins up 2-0 in the third
quarter, they could sense it.
Broadneck held on to win by that
score, capturing its third state
championship and first since
2002.
Junior Mady Quigley got the
scoring going in the first half at
Stevenson University, and the

Bruins (20-0) kept pushing, figuring they might need one more.
“I think once we got through
the first half, it was kind of a
moment like, ‘We can’t settle
because we’re up 1-0,’ ” Coach
Shannon Hanratty recalled about
what she told her team at halftime. “ ‘We don’t slow down.’ ”
At half, the Bruins players
listened to Hanratty and reflected on all the work they had done
throughout the season to get
here. They knew they were only
30 minutes away from a title.
The early goal had put them

right where they wanted to be.
The Bruins knew they had to
start aggressively against a stingy Bulldogs defense, and they
had done just that. Broadneck
spent majority of the first half in
Churchill territory and was rewarded when sophomore Faith
Everett, Maya Everett’s sister,
swung a pass to Quigley, who
swiped a point-blank shot into
the net to take a 1-0 lead with
2:09 left in the first period.
“Always is all gas no brakes,”
Maya Everett said of the team’s
message coming into the match-

up.
The Bruins’ aggressive offense
fatigued the Bulldogs (17-1), who
put only one shot on goal compared with nine for the Bruins.
Broadneck also had seven penalty corner shots; Churchill had
none.
Last year, Broadneck lost in
the state quarterfinals, 1-0, to
eventual champion Severna
Park. This year was a different
story.
As the Bruins fans counted
down the final 10 seconds, instead of saying zero, they

cheered. Players embraced one
another in a team hug in front of
their net.
The Bruins mentioned a 4-1
win over Spalding in September
as a turning point in the season.
It was one of their toughest
matchups, and they prevailed,
providing plenty of confidence
the rest of the way.
Said Maya Everett, who’s committed to play at the University of
Maryland: “Being able to work as
a team in that situation kind of
made us realize that we could go
all the way.”

MARYLAND 3A FIELD HOCKEY FINAL

Cardinals’ high-powered offense finds an opening with time winding down
CROFTON 2,
RIVER HILL 1
BY

S HANE C ONNUCK

owings mills, md. — Kylie

Corcoran glared at the Stevenson
University scoreboard during the
fourth quarter of Saturday’s
Maryland 3A field hockey state
championship. Crofton found itself tied with River Hill, with its
high-powered offense having

been mostly stymied by the Howard County champion’s defense.
Corcoran and her teammates
felt that after last year’s loss to
eventual 3A champion Arundel, a
title was in reach for the program
in its second year. And it was
Corcoran who brought the Cardinals glory — hammering home a
shot into the left corner of the net
with four minutes left in regulation to secure a 2-1 win and the
first championship in program
history.
“You can tell when Kylie gets

this fire in her eyes, and she had it
at the end there,” Crofton Coach
Amy Skrickus said.
Corcoran, a junior midfielder
whose game-winner was her
team-best 21st goal of the season,
said the Cardinals (16-2) began
increasing the intensity during
practices this year. Still, practice
can’t always prepare you for these
late-game scenarios.
“Honestly, it was very stressful,” Corcoran said. “You go
through games like those all the
time. In your mind, you’re just

saying you need to get the ball in
the back of the net. And that’s
what I did.”
Crofton, which scored fourplus goals in 10 games this season, met another strong offense
in River Hill (16-3), which had
outscored its opponents 20-2 in
the postseason entering Saturday.
Nearly six minutes into the contest, River Hill sophomore attacker Maya Chan fired a shot past
Cardinals goalkeeper Ryleigh Osborne.
Crofton quickly answered. Lat-

er in the first quarter, sophomore
midfielder Karryn Dean fed a
pass to Mary-Cate Parks. The
sophomore forward shot the ball
into the right side of the cage —
knotting the match at one.
Osborne had a lot of action in
front of the net, facing 14 River
Hill penalty corners. Like Corcoran, she felt the intensity of a game
of this magnitude but didn’t let it
faze her.
“Being a goalie is a lot of
pressure. But it’s how you deal
with that pressure,” Osborne said.

“As a goalkeeper, the pressure is a
gift. We need to learn to grow
from the pressure and that we live
for it.”
For Hawks Coach Shelly Chamness, her 23rd year at the helm
ended in heartbreak for the second season in a row. River Hill
had been on a 14-game winning
streak, but Chamness knew the
Hawks were in trouble just before
Corcoran took her shot.
“We hit it right to No. 8,” Chamness said, “which we were trying
to avoid.”

MARYLAND 2A FIELD HOCKEY FINAL

Gladiators’ confidence is rewarded with a repeat under a first-year coach
GLENELG 2,
MAN. VALLEY 0
BY

S HANE C ONNUCK

owings mills, md. — One of the
first things Christina Giampalmo
did when she took over as Glenelg’s field hockey coach in August was have the players write
down what they wanted to get out
of the season. Most of them had
one goal in mind — to repeat as

Maryland 2A state champions.
The Gladiators’ hopes came to
fruition Saturday at Stevenson
University. A pair of fourth-quarter goals lifted Glenelg to a 2-0
shutout of Manchester Valley, giving the Howard County school its
second straight title and its sixth
since 2010.
“We really united at the end,”
Giampalmo said. “We went from
having a whole bunch of talented
players to having a whole squad
that worked together.”
Giampalmo, a 2010 Glenelg

alumna, had no coaching experience when she took over for Nicole
Trunzo, who left the team because
she was pregnant. Giampalmo
leaned on assistants Candice Russ
and Hope Burke, both of whom
coached at Maryland-based Warhawks Field Hockey Club. Russ
has known a lot of the Gladiators
since they were as young as 10,
including Theresa Stiller, the
Gladiators’ leading goal scorer.
Saturday’s match was a stalemate into the fourth quarter as
Manchester Valley (13-3-1) was sti-

fling the Gladiators’ strong attack.
The Mavericks drew a series of
penalty corners in the second
quarter, none of which resulted in
successful shots.
About a minute after the final
period began, Glenelg (13-6) broke
through on a well-designed penalty corner play. A series of passes
culminated in junior forward Ashley Kim feeding her sixth assist of
the year to junior midfielder Emily Altshuler, who buried the shot.
Glenelg scored again with two
minutes to play in the fourth. This

time it was Stiller pushing her
team-high 17th goal of the season
into the back of the cage from the
right side off an assist from Skylar
Rill.
“Not even considering that I’ve
known them for so long, even over
the course of this year, the growth
that they’ve made as individuals
and as a team is something that’s
stood out to me,” Russ said. “I
think a lot of it, too, is that there
was a little bit of uncertainty with
them because they didn’t have a
coach until preseason started.”

This summer before tryouts,
the Glenelg players were setting
up their own practices and workouts. A former football coach was
helping out with the junior varsity
team. But once Giampalmo was
named coach, she had a group of
players who already had started
working toward the goal they accomplished Saturday.
“We’ve just been going up all
season and getting better,” sophomore defender Sarah Walker said.
“And I think the goal is to do it
again next year.”

Porzingis leads the way as the Wizards fire on all cylinders and take down Jazz

referring also to the Wizards’
52 points in the paint. “And those
are two areas we actually had
some success. . . . Our two biggest strengths tonight are their
two biggest weaknesses.”
Being able to work in their
comfort zones made for a fruitful
night across the roster.
Porzingis had a game-high
31 points on 12-for-20 shooting,
including 4 for 8 on threes. He
added 10 rebounds and worked
Washington’s system exactly as
he’s meant to, getting Utah’s
defense out of position by taking
advantage of size mismatches.
Kuzma was ill with what the
team said is a non-covid illness —
he used a four-letter word to
describe how terrible he felt
Saturday morning — but had
another highflying night with
23 points, eight rebounds and six
assists, a strong encore to Thursday’s 36-point night against the
Dallas Mavericks. He said after
that game he had been asking the
Wizards’ coaching staff to run
the offense through him for
weeks.
“He has, and it’s one of those
things where it’s got to be done
by committee,” Unseld said. “. . . I
like the way he’s played as far as
his pace, even off makes. That’s
great. The best part about that is
we’re still able to stay organized
for the most part.”
Does he think Kuzma might
back off his requests anytime
soon? Unseld could only laugh,
noting, “I don’t know if he’ll ever
be satisfied.”
Corey Kispert broke through,
too. The guard had a season-high
18 points in his fifth game of the
year after coming back from a
left ankle sprain and shot 6 for 6
from the field and made four
three-pointers.
“Tonight was the night where I
really felt like I was in the flow of
the game from the jump,” Kispert
said.
Point guard Monte Morris
added nine assists, five points
and seven rebounds.
Jordan Goodwin’s trio of
three-pointers to end the first
quarter gave the Wizards a nice
jolt and some added confidence
from deep that trickled down.
Even as they fell nine points

Brooklyn Nets broke free midway
through the fourth quarter Saturday for a 110-95 victory over the
Los Angeles Clippers.
Nic Claxton had 13 points and

Paul George scored 17 points for
the Clippers but endured a rough

“We kept bodies in front of
[George], making him make tough
shots,” Curry said. “We were
switching a lot of stuff and helping
each other. Keep bodies in front of
them, make guys make tough
shots over us and just trust our
defense that they’re not going to
do that for 48 minutes.”
The Clippers led 86-84 with
7:42 remaining before the Nets
took charge. Consecutive threepointers by Curry, a layup by Claxton and a three from Royce
O’Neale capped a 20-4 run that
gave the Nets a 104-88 lead with
2:22 remaining.
Norman Powell had 16 points

The ‘Birth of a Nation’
director has been mostly
out of the public eye since
2016, when a rape charge
from college resurfaced.
He says he has grown.
BY A NN H ORNADAY
IN LOS ANGELES

‘A

ll I see are the things I
regret.”
On a 99-degree day in
August, the actor and
filmmaker Nate Parker
sits on a Kelly green velvet couch in the
living room of the house he shares with
his wife, Sarah, and their five daughters, recalling one of many disastrous
moments in 2016.
If Parker’s name rings a bell, it’s
likely to be a distant one. In 2007, he
was being called a young Denzel, having delivered a breakout performance
in Washington’s “The Great Debaters.”
In 2010, he was in the running to play
the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in
“Selma” (the role ultimately went to his
friend David Oyelowo). In 2016, when
he made his directorial debut with the
period drama “The Birth of a Nation,”
he embodied hope for a new, more-inclusive Hollywood.
Then, everything changed.
For the past six years, if Parker has
been thought of at all, it’s been through
the scrim of vaguely disturbing memories: an emerging director whose career was derailed when stories about a
rape charge from his college days resurfaced, even though he’d been acquitted. A charismatic actor whose industry and public turned against him
when his responses to those stories —
rekindled more than a year before the
downfall of Harvey Weinstein and the
rise of the #MeToo movement — fell
lamentably short. An unwitting avatar
for famous men who would face their
own personal and professional reckonings: initially defensive, then forced —
out of self-interest, sincerity or some
combination thereof — to contemplate
where he went wrong.
And, now, a person who a cadre of
friends and influential allies believes
deserves a second chance. “I’ve
watched him become someone I’m
even more proud to call my friend now
than six years ago,” Oyelowo says.
“Even though I believe him when he
says he didn’t do what he was accused
of, I think it’s pretty clear he put himself
in a situation that was very compro-

Bard meets ‘Broadcast News’ in reprise of ‘Much Ado’
BY

P ETER M ARKS

Double acts are nothing new to
the stage. But how about the wild,
transatlantic one-two punch that
Simon Godwin, artistic director of
Washington’s Shakespeare Theatre
Company, is attempting to deliver?
In August, Godwin was at London’s
National Theatre, where he unveiled
a production of Shakespeare’s “Much
Ado About Nothing” with a British
cast. He set it in the 1930s, at a hotel
on the Italian Riviera.
Two months later, Godwin was in
Washington, working on the same
play, this time with an American
cast. Only now, “Much Ado” takes
place in a contemporary television
newsroom in the nation’s capital —
where it has its official opening at
Sidney Harman Hall on Nov. 15.
It takes a moment for this rare
and improbable turn of events to
sink in: one director for two distinct
“Much Ados,” one after the other.
Shifting geography and epoch has
become the norm for Shakespearean
productions. Still, facing the limits
of time and career opportunity, directors can find it hard to whip up

SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY

Godwin’s version of “Much Ado About Nothing” set in contemporary D.C.

even one inspired version of a canonical play. But to try to create two?
No one is more cognizant of this
unusual happenstance than Godwin, who with “Much Ado” gets his
first chance to originate a Shake-

speare production in Washington
since his arrival in 2020. (He directed a “Timon of Athens” that year, but
it ran at Brooklyn’s Theater for a
New Audience before moving to
STC’s Klein Theatre.) The pandemic

shutdown upended Godwin’s original plan — to produce the D.C.-newsroom-based “Much Ado” in the Harman in spring 2020.
In fact, the Washington “Much
Ado” was on Godwin’s drawing
board long before the National
Theatre also asked him to direct the
play.
“I mean, it’s such a funny, topsyturvy journey, because I’d been
working on the Washington version
for so long,” Godwin said. “So then,
before doing that, to come up with a
second production in a very different way? And to do that one first? It
was a kind of, yeah, unusual.”
The challenge offered a director a
remarkable experiment in the malleability of Shakespeare’s art — and an
exploration of his own imaginative
skills. The assignment required him
to lead each cast through rehearsals
with a commitment to a distinct
vision of the play. And it would call
on Godwin to respond as freshly and
inventively to actors in Washington
as in London.
“I said to him the other day,”
recalled Kate Jennings Grant, who

Operetta by Jewish refugees unearthed for a new audience

D

BY

K EN S TURTZ

uring World War II, nearly 1,000 Jewish refugees
who had escaped the
Holocaust were brought
to the United States and given
safe haven at an Army post in
Upstate New York.
Fearing that they would be
sent back to Europe at war’s end,
they lobbied to stay in America.
They turned to leading citizens
who drafted a petition to the
president and Congress. They
testified at a congressional hearing. And they wrote and performed an operetta sharing their
story.
The score and libretto of “The
Golden Cage” soon disappeared.
Decades later, a historian tracked
them down. This weekend, for
the first time since 1945, the
operetta is being performed.
“We feel that this is incredibly
significant,” said Marilynn Smiley, president of Oswego Opera
Theater, which is producing the
operetta, noting that the issues it
raised about how the country
treats refugees remain relevant.
Antisemitic and anti-immigrant sentiment in the United
States ran deep in the lead-up to
World War II, and strict immigration quotas blocked most Jews
fleeing Europe. In the most notorious incident, in 1939, the government refused to admit Jewish
refugees on the German liner
St. Louis; the ship was forced to
return to Europe, where more
than 250 of the passengers were
killed in the Holocaust.
In 1944, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt established the War
Refugee Board. Its staff — initially tasked, among other things,
with getting other countries to
help refugees fleeing Nazi persecution — convinced Roosevelt
that the United States should
take some of the refugees, partly
to encourage other countries to
do more. The country would ultimately accept just 982 refugees
outside of the quota system. They
came from 18 countries, and
nearly all of them were Jewish.
To house them, Roosevelt announced the establishment of an
emergency refugee shelter at Fort
Ontario in Oswego, N.Y., on the
shore of Lake Ontario.
“These people definitely felt
like they were being rescued,”
said Rebecca Erbelding, a historian at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. But it wasn’t so
simple. The refugees would be
guests of Roosevelt with no legal
immigration status. All had to
sign documents agreeing to return to Europe when the war
ended.
They boarded a troopship in
Italy and, after dodging U-boats,
arrived in New York in August.
They traveled by train to Fort
Ontario and settled into barracks. They were confined to the

shelter, and the fort’s chain-link
fence topped with barbed wire
reminded them of the concentration camps some had escaped.
People in the community generally embraced their new neighbors. Refugees attended the local
school and college. Adults
weren’t allowed to work outside
the shelter, but many busied
themselves learning English and
taking classes. They began publishing a weekly newspaper.
But they remained in limbo.
After the war ended, some refugees voluntarily returned home.
But many had relatives in the
United States, and most wanted
to stay.
Months after fighting in Europe had stopped, the government still couldn’t decide what to
do, said Paul Lear, manager of
Fort Ontario State Historic Site.
Congressional hearings failed to
resolve the issue.
“There was still no word of
their fate, and everyone was very
depressed,” Lear said.
Local officials and many prominent figures, including Eleanor
Roosevelt, lobbied to let the refugees stay.
Among the refugees were accomplished musicians and composers. They had organized several choirs and an orchestra in
Oswego and performed concerts,
plays and operas. They decided to

write an operetta as a dramatic
plea for their freedom. It detailed
their escape of the Holocaust,
their journey to the United States
and their lives at the shelter in
Oswego as well as their hatred of
confinement.
Composer Charles Abeles
wrote the music, and artist Miri-

am Sommerburg wrote the text.
Abeles had been an orchestra
conductor near Vienna before
being arrested and leaving Austria. Sommerburg was a prominent artist before fleeing Germany. The original ending of
“The Golden Cage,” written in
November 1945, depicted misera-

ble refugees trapped like birds in
a golden cage, Lear said.
In late December, the Fort
Ontario refugees learned that
President Harry S. Truman’s directive to prioritize refugees in
the nation’s immigration quota
system would include them, allowing them to gain legal immigration status.
“And the refugees are all elated, and that’s how ‘The Golden
Cage’ gets dropped,” Lear said.
“They don’t have time to finish
it.”
The refugees began leaving
Fort Ontario within weeks and
didn’t have time to put on a
regular production. Instead the
actors and singers read and sang
their parts to the accompaniment
of a piano. The operetta was
performed on New Year’s Eve
with a hastily added new finale
incorporating the good news
about their fate. The operetta
then receded into obscurity.
Smiley, a retired SUNY Oswego
music professor, began researching the music of the shelter refugees years ago. She scoured archival collections, sifting through
boxes of documents, but found
only passing references to “The
Golden Cage.”
In 2009, she connected with a
visitor to the Safe Haven Holocaust Refugee Shelter Museum in
Oswego. The man was from Ger-

many and said his uncle, Abeles,
had been a refugee. Smiley
learned that after leaving Fort
Ontario, Abeles had returned to
Austria, stopping briefly in New
York City to try to market his
trove of musical works. But they
were stolen instead.
A couple of years later, Smiley
received a package in the mail.
“Well I opened it and here was
all this music of ‘The Golden
Cage,’ ” she said. The composer’s
nephews had found a rough draft
of “The Golden Cage” in one of
their attics.
“It had almost been forgotten,”
she said. “It was in a trunk of
some of his belongings.”
Smiley began searching archival collections for the text of the
operetta, without success. Then
she happened to ask Lear if he
knew anything about “The Golden Cage.” He soon produced a
copy of the text he’d discovered at
the National Archives.
Smiley wanted Oswego Opera
Theater to stage a performance of
the operetta, but the music was
incomplete. She turned to Juan
LaManna, the opera’s artistic director and a SUNY Oswego professor, to fill in the missing parts.
“And there were many, many
missing parts,” LaManna said.
“There were entire sections that
had words but had no music and
vice versa.”
The operetta traces the plight
of the refugees, their journey to
the United States and their lives
in Oswego. The music was written for a piano and singers. LaManna added music for a small
orchestra.
“It was very exciting to kind of
re-create what the score would
have been had it been completed,” LaManna said.
The goal isn’t to present a
historical reenactment of the operetta exactly as it was originally
performed, said Benjamin Spierman, stage director for Oswego
Opera Theater. A good deal remains unknown about how it was
performed, and how the music
and text went together.
“It was very much a piece of its
time telling their story,” he said.
“I don’t know that the expectation was that it would have a life
more than 70 years later.”
Spierman said he and LaManna tried to take the original
material and slightly reconstitute
it for a modern audience. The
central themes raised in the operetta about how the country deals
with immigrants and refugees
are as relevant today as they were
then, he said.
“This particular story, both as
an American and as a Jew, really
has a lot of poignancy for me,” he
said. “And so to be able to put it
together is really an incredible
privilege.”

Artist’s clean, clinical depictions of the impact of gun violence pack a wallop
BY

M ARK J ENKINS

In 1971, performance artist
Chris Burden had himself shot in
his left shoulder. It’s unlikely that
any conceptualist will ever address
American gun culture more
viscerally than that, but Robert
Buck has come close. His Von
Ammon Co. show, “Wound Filler,”
demonstrates the effects of pointblank 12-gauge shotgun blasts into
cylinders of the modeling
compound used by embalmers to
reconstruct damaged flesh. The
voids blown through the waxy
material are monuments in
reverse to firearm victims, whose
ranks have grown substantially
since Buck made these pieces from
2004 to 2006.
If the holes at their centers are
inherently catastrophic, the
seven sculptures are otherwise
quiet. Each tube of dried filler, in
a variety of corporeal hues, sits
atop one or more white plastic
buckets and inside a sealed
transparent vitrine. The blasted
assemblages look like art objects
and medical specimens,
clinically detached from the
brutality that made them.
Also included is a candle,
complete with wick, that was
cast as a positive impression of
one of the shotgun gashes, and a
sort-of drawing made by firing a
shot through an artist’s sketch
pad. The top sheet of paper was
left with a bloom-like design
rendered in shades of gray that
suggest pencil or charcoal, but
are actually gunpowder. Again,
the remains of violence are
surprisingly tranquil.
There’s no blood, viscera or
pulverized bone in the sculptures
made by the Baltimore-born
Buck, who divides his time
between New York and Texas. Yet
the artist has found a material

that, if not actual human
fragments, is closely linked to
the body. It’s just that instead of
repairing corpses, he has used it
to simulate fatal devastation.
Each of the seven simulated
injuries is clean, simple and
discrete, but also stands for a
larger, and much messier, toll.

areas of yolky lushness.

Fabric seems to express
pliable identity in several of the
pieces in “Innervisions:
Dialogues in Self-Portraiture,” a
six-artist show at Brentwood
Arts Exchange. A face is just one
element in Aliana Grace Bailey’s
banner, whose quilted elements
suggest a wealth of heritage and
connections. In Armando LopezBircann’s video, face and body
are covered with digitally
animated masks that evoke
gender fluidity. One of Holly
Bass’s suite of self-images, set in
a cotton field to recall her
father’s sharecropper past, is
printed on gauzy material
stretched across a mirror to give
a sense of shifting levels.
In Carolina Mayorga’s
impeccably staged photos, fabric
takes the form of costumes she
used to reinterpret figures from
her Catholic upbringing, such as a
pieta that cradles another woman
rather than the body of Jesus.
Matt Storm’s photos of his nude
or near-nude body in vigorous
motion include one printed on
sheeting that’s folded tightly onto
a narrow frame, thus twisting the
image like a flexed muscle.
Hosna Shahramipoor’s selfportraits are even more pointed
— literally. One covers a photo of
her face with a thousand
(according to the work’s title)
needles; another uses pins to
spell out “I am not white.” Where
the show’s other participants
employ materials that are
flexible, Shahramipoor prefers
ones that are sharp and
formidable.

Kirk and Marchand

It is Brian Kirk who
necessitates the qualifier in
“Primarily Abstract,” the title of a
two-artist show at Zenith
Gallery’s downtown space.
Where Anne Marchand’s
paintings are entirely abstract,
Kirk’s sculptures include some
representational pieces, as well
as random assemblages that
incorporate recognizable (if no
longer functional) metal objects.
Kirk powder-coats his steel
creations, usually in a single,
bright color. This gives them a
playground vibe, which is
reinforced by the Northern
Virginia artist’s fabrication of
such kid-friendly critters as
dinosaurs, an anthropomorphic
pea pod and a red-spotted beetle
that’s a rare example of a
multihued piece. Among the
most striking sculptures are ones
that appear at once solid and
spindly: Its pieces unified by
their shared color, “Razzmatazz”
uses orbs, curves and mesh to
draw a set of jagged red lines in
space.
The hard-edge arcs of
Marchand’s “Harmony” and
“Form and Formless” echo Kirk’s
style, but most of the D.C. artist’s
gestures are soft and fluid.

makes crucial use of white. That

an absence in Marchand’s
pictures, which often feature

Innervisions

The drama is in the painting,
not the subject matter, of
Dominic Chambers’s pictures.
The Connecticut-based artist,
whose “What Makes the Earth
Shake” is at Tephra Institute of
Contemporary Art, often depicts
people reading, pondering or
gazing out a window. Yet there’s
tension in his work, since he and
the figures in his paintings are
Black. In the hushed moments
the artist depicts, “Black life
finds reprieve from the brutal
state of emergency that so often
describes it,” as Zoe Hopkins
writes in her catalogue essay.
Another intriguing source of
friction in the show, whose title
derives from James Baldwin’s 1962
“Letter to My Nephew,” is the dance
between realism and abstraction.
Chambers’s pictures are
representational, yet informed by
mid-20th-century art that rejected
that approach. Some of the
paintings are partly obscured by
abstract gestures or overlaid veils of
small shapes that resemble leaves
or loosely rendered diamonds.
Another sign that Chambers
isn’t simply painting the visible
universe is his depiction of the
ephemeral. Ghostly figures
sometimes hover in the
background, and in one of the
most striking pictures, a man’s
hand turns translucent as it rests
on a windowsill. The view
outside is simply of white light,
suggesting that the hand is
merging with the bright exterior.
The person at the window is both
secluded from the world and
connected to all existence.

GREAT WORKS, IN FOCUS

reader trying to steal a ring from a
client’s finger. And then came
“The Cardsharps” — a sensation.
More than 30 copies of the work
survive — a sure sign of its impact. The general theme was taken up by scores of subsequent
artists.
Its purchase by Cardinal Francesco Maria del Monte, a passionate arts patron, came with an
offer for Caravaggio to move into
the cardinal’s palace in central

c. 1595
On view at Kimbell Art
Museum in Fort Worth

Rome. The artist accepted the
offer, which exposed him to a
whole new level of intellectual
and artistic stimulation — and
more clients. It changed everything.
“The Cardsharps” came into
the Kimbell’s collection in 1987
after being lost for 90 years. Conservators knew it was a Caravaggio rather than a copy when they
removed the lining and discovered del Monte’s wax seal on the

back (although it remains possible that Caravaggio himself
painted more than one version).
Caravaggio’s stripes are both a
formal device and — as fashion
always is — a sociological clue.
The painting has other such
clues: It’s hard not to notice, for
instance, that the cardsharps’
outfits are cobbled together, the
patterns and color schemes of the
doublets and sleeves not matching at all, and that the fingernails

of the trickster on the right are
dirty while the victim’s hands are
spotless.
But the stripes also function, to
my eyes, as a kind of moral principle. Stripes are for bees and wasps
and prison inmates. They signal
danger, yes — but also an ambiguous moral zone that beguiles us,
draws us close. They pulse, they
set one another off, they’re just
interesting, in a way that naivete
is not. It has to be intentional that
the one figure who has nothing
stripy about him is the innocent,
the patsy, the dupe.

f happiness “writes in white
ink on a white page,” as Henry de Montherlant wrote (an
aphorism often distilled to
“happiness writes white”), drama
dresses in stripes. I’m a sucker for
the stripes in this early Caravaggio painting. They’re obvious on
three items of clothing, and
echoed more subtly in the alternating patterns of the feathers
and on the backgammon board,
and even — when you get close
enough — in the dark and light
ridges of the central figure’s
creased brow.
“The Cardsharps” — Caravaggio’s first true masterpiece and
one of the jewels of the Kimbell
Art Museum in Fort Worth —
shows two cardsharps trying to
trick their well-dressed target at a
game of primero (it’s similar to
poker). It’s a tidy tableau, but it’s
maximally theatrical and full of
charged details. The central figure’s fingertips, for instance, are
exposed through a tear in his
glove, so that he can feel marked
cards. He is signaling information about the dupe’s hand to his
accomplice, who is meanwhile
pulling out a winning card from
behind his back.
There’s clearly a moral warning here. But whose side was
Caravaggio on? And whose
should we be on? Cardsharps,
sometimes known as “correctors
of fortune,” were more common
in those days, and to some extent
they were tolerated. Gamblers
knew to be on guard, yet may
have delighted in seeing such
cheaters succeed against those
who were less savvy — especially
if they were rich!
Caravaggio was still little
known when he painted “The
Cardsharps,” around 1595. But
things were quickly changing. He

SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY PHOTOS

A Shakespeare comedy gets a contemporary twist
THEATER FROM E1

plays Beatrice in D.C., “ ‘Simon, I
just have to say that, and I mean it
as a compliment, I would never
know that you directed this play
before.’ And then we both burst
out laughing.”
“Much Ado About Nothing” is
of course about something — the
bittersweet battle of wits between two prideful, headstrong
combatants,
Beatrice
and
Benedick, who are desperately in
love and are the only ones who
don’t know it. It’s a piquant
romantic comedy that takes a
disturbing turn: a subplot unfolding around another couple,
Hero and her fiance, Claudio, in
which an accusation of sexual
betrayal is maliciously drummed
up.
The British-born Godwin
could have saved himself time
and energy by producing the
same version twice. Instead, the
less possessive attitude about
Shakespeare he’s encountered on
these shores bolstered his instinct to try something different.
“Like all of those comedies, it
comes freighted with such an
expectation of history,” he said,
of “Much Ado.” “But one thing I
found in Washington very
strongly is this release from
history. The fact that people in
Washington, they haven’t seen it
three times in the last 12
months.” (His London “Much
Ado,” which ended a month-long
engagement in September, was
running there at the same time
as another “Much Ado,” at
Shakespeare’s Globe.)
“I’ve really experienced what
I’d hope to find in America,”
Godwin added, “which is an open
space to re-meet plays afresh.”
In a recent rehearsal at Shakespeare Theatre’s offices on Capitol Hill, the actors in his American “Much Ado” were putting the
play on its feet for the first time.
In this 21st-century version, Beatrice and Benedick (played by
Rick Holmes) are co-anchors on
SNN — the Shakespeare News
Network, of course. Hero (Nicole
King) is the sportscaster and
Claudio (Paul Deo Jr.) is the
weatherman, and they have their
own flirty studio thing going on.
Emily Burns, the show’s dramaturge, has written Bard-centric
news items for the SNN team to
read, such as this “Macbeth” riff:
“Climate change activists have
responded with protests and
blockades after Birnam Wood
had been completely uprooted
overnight.”
If Godwin’s stylish London version had the continental look and
feel of a movie like “The Grand
Budapest Hotel,” the Washington
production seemed to be headed

TOP: Jesse Kovarsky,
Joey Blakely and
director Simon Godwin,
seated, in rehearsal for
“Much Ado About
Nothing,” set in a TV
newsroom in D.C.
ABOVE: Shakespeare
News Network coanchors Rick Holmes
(Benedick) and Kate
Jennings Grant
(Beatrice). “The idea of
the deadline of a
broadcast, something the
characters have to do,
felt very appealing,”
Godwin said. “I think
there’s a link between
the momentous and the
erotic … that if you’ve got
these two people doing
something on a deadline
… it creates a chemistry
which can then bloom
into something else.”

in the direction of “Broadcast
News.”
“He’s got an incredibly infectious, energetic temperament,
which is wonderful to have on a
play like ‘Much Ado,’ ” said John
Heffernan, who played Benedick
in the National Theatre production. “It’s quite frightening at
times because he’s very bold in
his decision-making. To say,
‘Right, we’re going to sit in a
‘Grand Budapest’-style hotel.
We’re going to a newsroom.’ You
know, he commits and he’s fearless.”
For the actors in the Washington “Much Ado” — some of whom
were cast more than two years
ago — there was a possibility that
Godwin would no longer have the
head space for novel approaches
to the play.
“I don’t feel from him this
sense of ‘Let me just tell you what
works here,’ ” Holmes said in a
joint interview with the SNN

news team: Grant, King and Deo.
“I think he’s studiously trying to
avoid that. Nevertheless, there
are little nuggets from him that
have you thinking, ‘Well, he probably knows what he’s talking
about.’ ”
Godwin envisioned the newscast as “a context that creates
chemistry.” And chemistry is the
essence of “Much Ado.” In the
London production, Heffernan
and Katherine Parkinson, as Beatrice, could not avoid each other
amid the posh exclusivity of a
Jazz Age European resort; a tense
Washington newsroom might
raise the comic temperature even
higher.
“The idea of the deadline of a
broadcast, something the characters have to do, felt very appealing,” the director said. “I think
there’s a link between the momentous and the erotic, that if
you’ve got these two people doing
something on a deadline, rather

than just being onstage with
somebody, it creates a chemistry
which can then bloom into something else.”
In the Washington rehearsal
room, Godwin jumped up,
jumped in, offered funny asides,
rattled off thoughts, listened to
suggestions, laughed often — all
to encourage the actors to extract
the play from their heads and
push it into their bodies. “Let’s
try to stitch together the moments from where we began yesterday,” he said. A jovial scene
unfolded involving Edward Gero,
an STC veteran cast as Leonato,
the newscast’s executive producer; Carlo Albán’s mischievous
Don Pedro; and Deo’s Claudio, as
the director coaxed them all into
a display of locker-room camaraderie.
Other actors came up with bits
of stage business in another
scene, detailing the moments before the evening SNN newscast

went live. “Oh, a lint roller’s
good!” Godwin declared as an
actor playing a newsroom assistant fetched one to spruce up the
anchor team. “I think the pleasure here is in these quick gear
changes.”
For Godwin, the pleasure, too,
is in how extra-prepared he feels,
working with a text he now
knows doubly well.
“As I return now to the world of
the media with the play, I discover in fact that it is so robustly
bright — not consistently bright,
but ultimately optimistic,” he
said. “And that the world of the
media is far from closing down
humor and wit and joy. In fact, it
can channel it, in a very immediate way.”

William Shakespeare. Directed by
Simon Godwin. Nov. 11-Dec. 11 at

Groom’s jokes about selection of
best man are hurtful to best friend
Ask Amy

Dear Amy: I’m a 28-year-old

man. My best friend from
childhood, “Kenneth,” recently
AMY
got engaged. I couldn’t be
DICKINSON
happier for him.
Kenneth has decided that I
won’t be his best man in the wedding. His
future bride’s brother, “Bart,” will be. When
he told me about this, I was a little hurt;
although I quickly got over myself. I know
that his wedding is not about me.
Then, a few weeks later, Kenneth and I
went out to dinner. We all laughed and joked
and had a wonderful time, until Kenneth
made a joke about me being the “best man”
but Bart the “better man” (because he had
chosen him over me). I laughed a little to
play along, but honestly this hurt me deeply.
Kenneth and I have talked many times
about what a jerk Bart is. He’s rude,
ungrateful, spoiled and entitled. He is also a
womanizer.
I tried to forget about this silly remark,
but it has now been repeated several times,
not just by Kenneth, but by other members
of the bridal party. Even though it’s always
said with a laugh and meant as a harmless
joke, it bothers me more and more. I just
chuckle along because I know this wedding
isn’t about me and I don’t want to cause any
sort of drama.
The wedding is still several months away,
but I don’t know if I can take hearing this
“joke” anymore. Am I overreacting? Or
should I privately mention this to Kenneth?
I know he didn’t mean to hurt me, but I’m
not even quite sure why he made the joke in
the first place.
Do you think this is something worth
discussing with him, and if so, how should I
approach it without causing any drama? Or,
again, am I just overreacting?
— Bothered in the Bridal Party
Bothered: There is no need for you to

continue to second-guess your own reaction
to this comment. It was fairly tasteless and
unkind the first time you heard it, and it is
not improving with repetition.
My instinct is that “Kenneth” is trying to
paper over the fact that he passed you over
for the honor of being his best man, while
still acknowledging that he did so —
“owning” it with an unfunny pun. I assume
that as time goes by, you might actually be
relieved not to be hosting this friend’s
bachelor party. (Talk about dodging a
mojito!)
I suggest that you confront this by playing
“dumb.” You could say to Kenneth: “This
best man/better man thing. I don’t get it.

What’s that about? I mean — are you trying
to tell me something?”
And then — you wait. He will sputter and
guffaw. When he’s done, you can say, “Well,
it’s not really funny, it embarrasses me, I
don’t like it, and I wish you would stop.”
Dear Amy: My husband and I married on

Christmas Day. He died on a Memorial Day
weekend eight years later. Despite the
passage of time, this remains a difficult
season. What makes it extremely hard is the
forced cheerfulness of the season.
While I try to smile and respond in kind,
it’s exhausting. Being chided by strangers for
not exhibiting the proper holiday spirit is
frustrating. Demoralizing. Depressing.
I don’t want the charity of strangers or to
try to graft myself onto someone else’s
family gathering; I find serenity in being
alone. I just wish I could get others to stop
forcing their interpretation of Christmas
down my throat. All I want for Christmas
this year is for others to remember that this
is a difficult time for so many people in this
country, from the working poor to the
homeless who will crowd into shelters and
soup kitchens.
So please don’t insist others join in your
celebration, and please don’t label that
woman in the checkout lane a “Scrooge” for
not being “full of good cheer”; you have no
clue what struggles she may be going
through.

her table manners. My son’s
girlfriend’s kids, 9 and 7, are
destructive, rough around the
edges, and horribly piggy when it
comes to table manners. They
literally eat with their hands. To
eat a piece of pizza, both of them
resort to grabbing the piece of
pizza with their whole hand and
then shoving it in their face.
They also take their other hand
and pick at said piece of pizza.
On top of that, they take that
second hand and wipe their face
with it, now smearing pizza all
over their face. When guided to
use a fork or a spoon, they try for
a bite or two and then say they
aren’t hungry anymore, clearly
because they don’t want to suffer
through eating with a utensil
and getting asked, prodded, and
insisted several times to do so.
The boy is destructive and
touches and picks up things
inside and outside the house
with the intention of destroying
or breaking them. The girl is a
glom and runs around yelling
and screaming. She demands the
same attention that our
granddaughter gets when
Grampy is having a conversation
and lap time. It is difficult to
teach our granddaughter things
when the girl is a complete
distraction to our
granddaughter.
Why should our

granddaughter be robbed of this
special relationship just because,
all of a sudden, Dad got together
with a girlfriend who has two
other kids?
We really want our
granddaughter to have a special
relationship with us and
continue as the kind, soft, wellmannered child she is.

That means finding a way to

son defines as his family.

· Her kids.
· Their manners.
· Your son’s decision to blend

these two families.

And you are free to feel what

you feel and think what you
want. Yours are real concerns
and I am sympathetic. However,
they are also a combination of
“not up to you” and “best not

Since the former is selfexplanatory, I’ll focus on the latter.
All three kids have had even
less say in this arrangement than
you have. The ill-behaved ones
also didn’t decide to have
whatever experiences they had,
whatever guidance they (never)
received, and whatever wiring
they were born with to produce
the challenges they face.
(Certainly no kid wants
untreated fine-motor issues,
which sound possible from your
talk of dodged utensils and
broken objects.) So when I read
your account of how the
nurtured child on “Grampy’s” lap

I want to bleeping cry.

by these kids. All of them.
You can help the less
socialized two by recognizing all
children deserve not only to be
valued and cherished, but also
warmly taught. We could stop
here. This is everything.
You can also help your “real”
granddaughter, though, by modeling
generosity, flexibility, patience,
maturity and love whenever you
interact with what is now her family.
Currently you are teaching her …
well, not these things.
As a bonus, you can help your
son by not pulling against the
blending process. They have
enough natural obstacles
without your adding your
contempt to the mix. “Piggy”?
Sweet sobbing deities.
You can also help the world,
no exaggeration. Struggling kids
are either everyone’s
responsibility now or everyone’s
problem later.
And because there’s no more
powerful motive than a selfish
one, you can help yourselves, too,
by resisting the lure of the easy
thing — “visiting with just our
granddaughter” — and pushing
through to the compassionate
work of being present for all these
children, just because they’re
children. For one, you won’t tax
your son’s patience to the point
you’re no longer welcome.
More important, you’ll be
better people for it. As these kids
warm to the more hospitable
environment you help create for
them, you’ll feel better for it, too.
When no one else is around —
and I mean no one within an
acre of earshot — sure, you can
howl about the weight and
injustice of this added work. It
will be hard. No illusions here.
But then come back to your
son and his family ready to be
family. Because no child deserves
to feel like extra, unwanted work.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

‘Matisse in the 1930s’ exhibition o≠ers
profound beauty haunted by history
BY

S EBASTIAN S MEE IN PHILADELPHIA

C

ivilization had a total breakdown in the
1930s, which also happened to be the
decade when Henri Matisse became most
himself. “Matisse in the 1930s,” a groundbreaking exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum
of Art, presents this miraculous, joyous phenomenon — a great artist, having just turned age 60,
fully coming into his own. But the spectacle is
haunted by history.
If you want to try to reconcile Matisse’s stream
of gorgeous, life-enhancing inventions in those
years with the Great Depression, the rise of
fascism, civil war in Spain, the Nazis’ demonization of modern art (including Matisse’s) as “degenerate,” the state-sponsored persecution of Jews
and the terrifying buildup to the Holocaust, you
might as well fold your cards. It is not possible.
You can only remind yourself that Matisse was
not in control of world events. In fact, he was
barely in control of himself. His intense susceptibility to visual beauty and his acute artistic
intelligence had made him, in the eyes of many, a
radical. He had spent most of his career out on a
ledge, blasted by the high winds of public
mockery. But he was a father, a family man, a good
citizen, and he yearned for sympathy and respect.
Ledges are lonely places. So for more than a
decade, beginning in late 1917, Matisse stepped
back from the precipice. He moved from Paris to
Nice. He painted smaller canvases — nudes and
interiors influenced by Impressionism and Orientalism — modeling spaces and volumes with
perspective lines and shifts in tone. I personally
adore the work that emerged from Matisse’s “Nice
period.” But there is no denying that, by the end of
the 1920s, Matisse was becoming repetitive. He
was creatively blocked. “In front of the canvas,” he
wrote to his daughter, “I have no ideas whatever.”
He needed to up the ante.
“Matisse in the 1930s,” which was organized by
Matthew Affron, Cécile Debray and Claudine
Grammont, shows us exactly how he did that. It is
the most important Matisse exhibition in America
for many years.
Matisse was extraordinary in every phase of his
career. But it was not until the 1930s that he
successfully integrated all the aspects of his
originality — in conception, drawing, color, treatment of space, emotional register. In the process
he achieved a kind of mastery. The struggle was
unrelenting. But everything that followed, right
up to the late paper cutouts and the chapel in
Vence, would be a kind of playing out of that
mastery.
The decade began with three key developments. The first was a series of Matisse retrospectives, all staged consecutively in 1930-31 in Berlin;
Paris; Basel, Switzerland; and New York. Retrospectives were rare in those days. Four in two
years was unprecedented and a clear sign that the
world was catching up with the French artist. He
was, as art historian Éric de Chassey writes in the
catalogue, “incontestably one of the best-selling
and most respected artists of his time.”
“Retrospection” means looking back, thinking
about the past. But what Matisse drew from these
four retrospectives was that he wanted to look
forward. “He wanted to be an artist who opened a
path rather than closed it,” writes de Chassey, “a
pioneer rather than an inheritor.” The Impressionist space and atmosphere of his Nice period

pictures was the past. He needed to leave it
behind.
The second key development was travel. In
February 1930, Matisse traveled to New York, then
proceeded by deluxe train to Chicago, Las Vegas,
Los Angeles and San Francisco, before crossing
the Pacific Ocean by ship to Tahiti. He made
almost no art during this trip. But he absorbed
everything. His mind and heart were refreshed.
The third was a commission from Albert
Barnes, the American collector and evangelist for
modern art. Barnes wanted Matisse to adorn the
arched walls of the main gallery in his foundation
in Merion, a suburb of Philadelphia. So on a
second trip to America that same year, Matisse
went there. Relations with Barnes would later
become fraught. But the commission, the results
of which you can see for yourself if you walk 10
minutes down the road to the relocated Barnes
Foundation, allowed him to advance and deepen
his conception of the “decorative.”
Matisse was focused on distillation in these
years. He wanted to marry a sense of voluptuous
sensuality with order and elegance — the Dionysian with the Apollonian. The first step was to
flatten out the space in his pictures. Flattening the
picture (as he had done in his pre-Nice paintings)
implied giving negative and positive space equal
weight. Negative space could now take on a more
active role. More specifically, Matisse understood
that if he wanted to combine a sense of living,
breathing expansion with harmonious order, he
would need to distort the contours and proportions of his figures until they were in just the right
relationship with the space around them.
I have not mentioned color. But of course, it was
all about color. One basic thing Matisse had
realized was that color intensity was a function of
size. A large area of blue was not just a larger area
of blue, it was more intensely blue. That put it in a
different relationship with the areas of color
around it.
You can think of Matisse’s sophisticated, intuitive approach to color in terms of barometric
pressure: He orchestrated areas of high pressure
(smaller color areas, more visible brushstrokes
and contour lines, more frequent alternations)
with low pressure (larger, airier expanses of pure,
unmodulated color) until he had balanced calm
and turbulence, order and sensuality in just the
right way.
The Philadelphia show kicks off with a prologue — a smattering of Nice period works,
including the busily patterned “Odalisque With
Grey Trousers” and the ravishing “Woman With a
Veil.” Both accentuate background colors and
shapes over the central subject, offering a preview
of what was to come. The next section examines
the Barnes mural and a commission to illustrate a
book of Stéphane Mallarmé’s poems.
Subsequent galleries focus on Matisse’s easel
paintings; his painted tapestry cartoons; pictures
of his assistant and model, Lydia Delectorskaya;
his collaboration with Léonide Massine and the
Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo; and the suites of
drawings he made, in theme-and-variation mode,
after an operation for abdominal cancer in
January 1941.
The individual paintings, drawings and sculptures — it goes without saying — are insanely,
almost unconscionably beautiful. But what makes

With Grey Trousers,” top, and “Woman With
a Veil,” above. Both of these 1920s works are
oil on canvas and accentuate background
colors and shapes over the central subject.

the unfurling phenomenon of Matisse’s career so
compelling is the struggle — or what the Greeks
called “agon.”
In Greek theater, the “agon” describes the
tension between the protagonist and the antagonist which, never reconciled, leads ineluctably to
tragedy. (Ineluctable means “not to be escaped by
struggling.”) You can find analogies for this “agon”
in the tension in Matisse’s paintings between
positive and negative space (with neither getting
the upper hand) or, more broadly, in Matisse’s
attempts to balance the Apollonian with the
Dionysian.
But there was also — as there is today — a
contest between Matisse’s harmonious, beautiful
vision and the political sphere, with its ever-deepening rancor, ugliness and strife. The two things
could not be reconciled. Nor could they be kept
apart: Matisse’s beloved daughter, Marguerite,
was tortured and interrogated by the Gestapo for
her work with the French Resistance. She narrowly escaped death, unlike millions of others.
Matisse is profound. This show is sensationally
beautiful. But just as Matisse worked hard to
activate the negative space in his 1930s works,
something about our present-day politics activates the historical background to this exhibition.
I barely thought about it while I was in the
exhibition, but in retrospect, there is something
truly tragic about the apotheosis of so great an
artist coinciding with baseness and barbarity on
such a vast scale.

His living isn’t in my sight.
Invisibly, I visit still,
With flitting drifts in shiny
flight.
My filly’s whinny, timid trill:
I’m sitting by this icy rill,
In wintry, frigid wild? Why?
This night I find in inky spill.
My hill is dimly lit by sky,
This wild is inviting … sigh …
I’m riding till my crib is nigh,
I’m riding till my crib is nigh.

to the jury
PARKER FROM E1

mised, was not morally right, was
not protective of [his accuser],
and these are all things he can see
clearly now.”
Parker insists that his understanding of guilt and innocence
has evolved. “In my 42-year-old
understanding, I can say without
hesitation that, while I’m innocent of any criminal charges or
acts, I can’t say that I didn’t do
anything morally wrong,” he says.
But to some observers, his account of personal growth does not
reflect the self-awareness necessary for true accountability. “I’m
not sure Nate Parker deserves this
platform,” says Sharon Loeffler,
the older sister of Parker’s accuser.
“This is nothing but a distraction,
and it takes away from what we
should really be talking about,
which is overwhelming disdain
for women being at an all-time
high.”
Oyelowo, who has made Parker’s public rehabilitation something of a personal cause in recent
years, initiated this exclusive interview, an invitation that was
accepted only after Parker agreed
that no conditions would be imposed and nothing would be offlimits. This is not a comeback
story. It’s not a story about resolution or redemption. This is a story
about someone in the middle of a
process that, even at its most imperfect and unfinished, illuminates crucial questions facing
Hollywood — and society at large
— as people accused of past harms
have been identified, called out
and marginalized. Among those
questions is whether there can
ever be a path back and whether
there should be a path back. If so,
who decides what it should look
like and when it’s complete?
And then there’s the most vexing question of all: When someone says they’ve changed, how can
we know it’s genuine?
Regret and embarrassment
It’s difficult to overstate the initial rapturous reception of “The
Birth of a Nation.” Parker’s film,
about Nat Turner and the rebellion of enslaved people he led in
1831, had been a sensation at Sundance in January 2016, with Fox
Searchlight paying a record $17.5
million for what the studio considered a surefire Oscar contender. The movie had electrified movie-industry insiders, who saw it as
a much-needed corrective in the
aftermath of the #OscarsSoWhite
campaign aimed at exposing Hollywood’s racist and exclusionary
culture.
The following summer, as the
Oscar push for “The Birth of a
Nation” was starting in earnest,
stories began to circulate about an
episode from Parker’s past.
In 1999, when he was a sophomore at Pennsylvania State University, Parker was accused of raping an 18-year-old freshman while
she was intoxicated and allegedly
unconscious. His friend and wrestling teammate, Jean McGianni
Celestin, who would go on to
share a story credit on “The Birth
of a Nation,” was accused of assaulting the young woman along
with Parker. Parker, who had had
consensual sex with the woman
before the incident, was found not
guilty by a jury after being represented by a public defender. Celestin was found guilty, but his conviction was overturned on appeal
and he was not retried. Their accuser later sued Penn State, saying
it did not adequately protect her
from the harassment and intimidation she said she suffered at the

hands of Parker and Celestin; the
university settled for $17,500. (Celestin could not be reached for
comment.)
Parker responded to questions
about the case during a VirginianPilot interview about “The Great
Debaters.” As Washington Post reporter Elahe Izadi noted in 2016,
the unsealed 1999 case was referred to on Parker’s Wikipedia
page long before “The Birth of a
Nation” made its debut. But, as the
2016 awards season got underway,
more graphic and troubling details resurfaced, with a tragic

postscript: Parker’s accuser had
taken her own life in 2012, after a
downward spiral that some of her
family members have said started
with her 1999 encounter with
Parker and Celestin.
When Parker heard of his accuser’s death, he expressed condolences in a Facebook post; just
days earlier, he had conducted
interviews with the trade outlets
Variety and Deadline in an effort
to address his past. But rather
than grappling with that past
honestly and self-critically, Parker
was seen by many as alternately

evasive, egotistical and manipulative. (He took his then-6-year-old
daughter to one interview.)
“[E]verything he says and does
troubles me,” Roxane Gay wrote in
the New York Times, referring to
Parker’s habit of referring to the
1999 episode as a “painful moment” in his life. “Most of what he
has to say about that ‘painful moment’ involves how he felt, how he
was affected. The solipsism is
staggering.”
Parker says he looks back at
that period with “regret and embarrassment,” and adds, “So much

initial enthusiasm, the film made only $15 million at the box office and received no Oscar nominations.

of that environment was new, and
unpredictable. I was struggling
daily to understand what was
happening.”
He takes one of what will be
several long pauses.
“I thought in those moments,
‘Why can’t anyone empathize
with me?’ Only to realize, as I’ve
gone through this journey, that I
had no empathy for those I had
triggered, or survivors around the
world that expected more, some of
them my fans. Or my accuser.”
The word “journey” will come
up often over the course of a 21/2hour interview and a nearly onehour follow-up. It’s Parker’s word
for an experience that started in
2017 as a quest for answers, but
one he claims has deepened into
something more meaningful and
transformative. “The first wave
was personal introspection, and
then the second wave … was how
to be intentional about doing
something about my wrong behavior,” he says. “If I believed the
way I approached [that behavior]
was wrong, then what was I going
to do to try to fix it?”
‘He became radioactive’
“The Birth of a Nation” limped
through its theatrical release during the fall of 2016, earning mixedto-positive reviews and a modest
$15 million at the box office.
Meanwhile, the debates surrounding Parker became a flash
point for discussions of campus
sexual assault, what constitutes
agency and consent, separating
art from the artist, and the complicated historical intersection of
racism and sexism. The movie received no Oscar nominations. By
the spring of 2017, Parker was at

home, where, he says, “it got very
quiet.”
“He had become almost entirely isolated,” recalls Oyelowo, who
has been close with Parker since
they starred together in 2012’s
“Red Tails.” “People who he had
called friends or thought of as
friends, desperate not to be
caught on the wrong side of this,
stopped calling. He became radioactive.”
With the phone that had rung
incessantly now silent, Parker had
little choice but to set career concerns aside and ruminate on his
mistakes. He called Oyelowo and
asked, “What do I do now?”
Oyelowo had one answer: “I said,
‘Let’s go sit down with some people who I know will take my call,
and let’s just go and listen.’ ”
The first person they contacted
was Octavia Spencer, with whom
they met for two hours at her
home. The Oscar-winning actress
“was very open and generous and
forthright with her opinion,”
Oyelowo says. “She expressed having been disappointed in some of
what she saw [from Nate] but, as I
anticipated … within those two
hours, she saw Nate for who he
actually is, as opposed to what had
been projected into the world
through sound bites and headlines.” (Spencer confirmed the
meeting but did not respond to
The Post’s requests for an interview.)
All of those early conversations
were with women, Parker recalls,
many of whom felt betrayed and
upset by his indignant and selfprotective stance during the
“Birth of a Nation” rollout. “I began to understand that some of

that anger [in 2016] was rooted in
my silencing of [women] and their
trauma,” he says. “I wasn’t thinking about who outside myself was
being impacted by [my words], or
feeling silenced.”
As Parker continued to pursue
conversations, he saw that “a
great majority of the people I was
speaking to were survivors themselves,” he says. “I realized this is
much closer to me than I anticipated. And then I started talking
to people in my family, and realizing that there are people … very
close to me that had experienced
sexual assault, rape, violence. And
the more I learned, the more I felt
responsible. The more I felt
ashamed.”
In 2018, Parker began consulting with an educator and activist
who works in gender and racial
justice and the prevention of violence against women. Through
that individual, as well as his
church, Parker contacted organizations in the Los Angeles area
that work with victims of human
trafficking, as well as domestic
abuse and sexual violence.
“You don’t just walk through
the doors of these places and say,
‘Sit me down with survivors,’ ” he
says. “What actually happens, or
what happened with me, was
there was a series of conversations, or visiting sites where there
are no survivors — until you realize that the very people who are
touring you around are survivors
themselves.” As he listened to the
women’s stories, Parker says, lessons sank in “about the importance of bodily autonomy and selfdetermination, and what happens
to people when those things are
taken away from them. You hear
about the disconnection from the
world and relationships, and in
some instances the disconnection
from themselves.”
He began to make connections
between his behavior as a 19-yearold and the stories he was hearing
from survivors, he said. “When I
think back to my 19-year-old self
… I absolutely see how [the] rules
around what is masculine, and
what is acceptable and what is
encouraged, create destructive
environments,” he says. “When I
think about what I would tell my
19-year-old self, I’d say, ‘Reject
those rules.’ ”
Gradually, Parker began to offer
his services as a volunteer with the
organizations he had visited. “It’s
not like a soup line,” he explains.
“You email or text and say, ‘Is there
anything that I can come and support, or anything I can do?’ ” His
work, he says, “almost always involves funding.” Last month,
Parker hosted a dinner at his
home to help raise funds and
awareness for a nonprofit organization that provides support and
housing for survivors of human
trafficking. At other times, he has
collected “clothing or furniture,
whatever can be done to create
safe spaces for people. A lot of
survivors have had to deal with
foster care, have had to deal with a
family dynamic that has either
been nonexistent or broken
apart.”
Social impact strategist Jotaka
Eaddy, whose friendship with
Parker started when they both volunteered for Barack Obama’s first
presidential campaign and deepened when she worked for former
NAACP president and CEO Ben
Jealous, says she has seen “a lot of
growth and evolution” in Parker in
the past six years. “What I appreciate most about Nate has been his
willingness to learn, his willingness to ask hard questions and,
most importantly, be open to hard
truths,” she says. “And he did it not
for any gain but to be a better
human.”
Men have a role to play
As compelling as Parker’s story
is, certain aspects are impossible
to corroborate: The educator/activist and organizations he says
he’s been working with insist on
remaining anonymous, to maintain privacy for their organizations, staff and the survivors with

whom they work. Several times
over the course of two interviews,
Parker goes off the record, afraid
that he’ll be seen as virtue signaling or sounding like a victim, but
also concerned he’ll inadvertently
destroy the trust he’s built. “One of
the first things that was made
clear to me with these organizations was that they were not interested in something that would be
used to exploit them,” he says.
“Until I’m asked publicly by one of
these organizations, I will respect
to the T their wishes. I will operate
in such a way that I am invisible,
outside of how I can be of service.”
Told of Parker’s volunteer work,
Shaunna Thomas, a founder and
the executive director of the domestic abuse survivors advocacy
group UltraViolet, notes that “it’s
exceedingly rare that we see people who have engaged in harmful
behavior [engage in that work] in
a way that isn’t about repositioning themselves for power.” But,
she adds, “[t]hat doesn’t mean it
couldn’t happen. … It’s good for
men, especially, to see that they
have a role to play, whether
they’ve caused harm or not.”
It gets trickier when the focus
shifts to the question of accountability, especially as it pertains to
the events that brought Parker to
this point: the early hours of Aug.
21, 1999, when he and Celestin
allegedly assaulted an 18-year-old
woman who was too intoxicated
to give consent. Parker says that
although he was found not guilty,
he does not consider himself
blameless. “I think there were a
number of moral failures when I
was 19, [including] that environment that I created, that were
wrong,” he says. “And I deeply
regret those things.”
Pressed about what “those
things” were, Parker speaks of his
accuser: “I failed her when it came
to building her self-esteem, or recognizing in her insecurities that I
could have supported her, rather
than used those insecurities to …
convince her to do things in the
relationship that were solely beneficial to me. And I’m sorry for
those things.”
Parker declines to go into any
more detail when it comes to affirmatively stating what he did
wrong in 1999, he says out of
respect for his accuser’s memory.
Although he adds he would like to
apologize to her relatives, including for not properly expressing his
condolences when he heard she
had died, he has not taken steps to
contact them. “The last thing I
want to do is enter into the lives of
her family members and create
more pain rather than healing,” he
says.

Loeffler is dubious. “My bar is
high because of the aftermath I
live in daily,” she says, referring to
her sister’s experience at Penn
State and the publicity surrounding her life and death. Loeffler
believes the decades of stress have
culminated in health issues that
have left her unable to escape a
toxic relationship and gain her
independence, much like her sister. And she feels compelled to
speak about the collective fallout.
“My sister never would have hid,”
she says. “She wanted justice and
to be heard.”
When the person Parker admits
that he harmed isn’t here to speak
for herself, can there be real accountability? Experts in restorative justice — wherein someone
who has been harmed meets with
the person who harmed them to
receive acknowledgment, validation and an apology — insist that
there are options.
Alissa Ackerman, a sex crimes
expert and a professor of criminal
justice at California State University at Fullerton — and a rape
survivor herself — has often used
a vicarious form of restorative justice when a perpetrator or victim
is unable or unwilling to participate. In those sessions, someone
who experienced a similar harm
volunteers to be a proxy.
“We help them name [the harm
they caused]; we help them write
an actual amends,” Ackerman
says of working with perpetrators.
Told of Parker’s situation, she says,
“I would work for months before
he ever sat down with a survivor,
and make sure he really understands the work.”
Asked whether he thinks a similar process might be useful in
addressing the personal moral
failings to which he has referred,
Parker takes another long pause.
“I’d have to think more about the
question to give you an answer
that’s helpful,” he says.
A change in focus
Parker has been mostly absent
from Hollywood since 2016 — he
fired his management and publicity team that year — but managed
to direct two more movies. “American Skin,” in which he stars as the
father of a victim of a police shooting, premiered in 2019 at the Venice Film Festival, where Spike Lee
supported Parker at a news conference for the film. In 2020, Parker made “Solitary,” starring
Oyelowo as a former convict reentering society after spending several years in solitary confinement.
Parker insists that this interview
is not timed to help the film,
which has yet to find a distributor.
“Who knows what’s going to happen with ‘Solitary’ ”? he says. “And
to be honest with you, I only care
because of David.”
Indeed, Oyelowo seems to be the
driving force behind what he clearly hopes will be Parker’s reentry:
This year, he took Parker to the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences Governors Awards
dinner and the Oscars ceremony.
In July, Eaddy arranged a Zoom
meeting between Oyelowo and
Parker and a group of African
American female leaders to gauge
their receptivity to Parker’s story.
The 18 women who wound up
pledging their support include
the experienced political hands
and civic leaders Donna Brazile,
Minyon Moore, Karen Finney, and
the Revs. Leah Daughtry and Bernice King, part of a close-knit network of influential Black women
in the worlds of civil rights advocacy, strategic communications
and politics.
When he met with the women
by video link last summer, Parker

read an unpublished op-ed in
which he expressed regret for his
“tone-deaf response and narrow
perspective” in 2016. “The change
in me over these past years has
been in shifting my focus from
myself to survivors,” he wrote, saying that as a 19-year-old college
student, “I had relationships, particularly with my accuser, that
were no doubt psychologically
toxic, opportunistic, and self-serving. For this I am incredibly regretful and deeply sorry. You can
be innocent of legal wrongdoing
and still be wrong.” He also wrote
that he has a new understanding
of “the dearth of instruction given
to college men about how to dignify their even casual relationships
with women by unequivocally respecting the importance of fluid
consent.”
The group was impressed. “I
found it very meaningful, and his
authenticity made me want to
help,” Finney says, adding that
everyone on the call was similarly
affected. “He’s talented, he’s someone who’s committed to using his
art to shine a light on really important issues, and he’s someone
who’s trying to be vulnerable and
open.”
Another woman, a sexual assault survivor who spoke with
Parker after she read his op-ed,
says she found it significant that
Parker acknowledged that “while
he may have been acquitted, there
are still things he has regrets for.
… I think it takes a lot of humility
and self-reflection and a lot of
personal accountability for someone to admit that they may have
made a mistake. You don’t always
get to hear that from people who
are accused.”
Oyelowo says his support of
Parker is both professionally and
personally motivated. He calls
Parker “easily in my top five directors I’ve ever worked with,” and he
wants him to be part of Hollywood
again. But more important, he
says, “I’ve hated to see how much
he was struggling, not just finan-

cially but emotionally. He would
hate me saying this, because he
doesn’t want anyone to think he’s
looking for sympathy. But it’s been
tempestuous. And as a friend,
when you see that, you just want it
to stop. But the journey had to
take the time it needed to take,
and now I think he’s beyond ready
to be edifying as opposed to erosive.”
Few would doubt Oyelowo’s
sincerity in coming to the aid of a
friend who, he believes, deserves
to be redeemed. But few can ignore the fact that Oyelowo happens to star in his friend’s film,
which is in need of a distributor.
Contradictions are rife in a story
that changes with every lens one
brings to it: Parker is engaged in a
deeply private process of introspection that, once it becomes
public, almost immediately becomes suspect as an attempt at
career rehabilitation. There are
moments, listening to Parker,
when the line between good faith
and outright credulity feels perilously thin. He is, after all, a good
actor.
And he has apologized before:
in 2016 and, most recently, in Venice in 2019, when he expressed
regret, using much of the same
language he’s using now. What’s
different this time? “Just more
learning,” Parker says. “More listening and more hearing. I think
that’s going to be the constant,
real-time evolution.”
Alexandra Brodsky, a civil
rights lawyer, the author of “Sexual Justice” and a founder of
Know Your IX, a nonprofit organization combating gender violence
in schools, says that in some ways,
celebrities “are the worst people
to sort out these hard questions
with” because the public dynamics at play are unique and inapplicable to most people’s lives. In
many cases, she adds, repair is
effective precisely because it happens quietly and in private.

i-sexual-violence
organization
RAINN, says celebrities can be a
valuable leaders, especially in educating college students about
sexual misconduct and consent.
But in Parker’s case, he says, “I
don’t know how he becomes a
credible spokesperson for others
if he still won’t acknowledge and
be specific about what he believes
he did wrong.”
Evaluating Parker’s words and
deeds is even more complicated
within the current context of public apology and comebacks. On a
spectrum that includes Will
Smith’s misfire of an apology video after his Oscars slap and Louis
C.K. winning a Grammy and going
back on tour after admitting to
masturbating in front of female
colleagues, is it possible to find a
form of genuine penance that
doesn’t feel performative? Or is a
public life a reasonable sacrifice in
the name of repair? It’s true that
few deserve to be defined by their
most grievous errors, especially if
they were made at 19. It’s also true
that nobody is entitled to money,
fame or a green light from a studio. And no one can know the full
impact of this country’s racial politics, from the historical use of
rape accusations as a weapon of
terror against Black men to who
gets the benefit of the doubt in
Hollywood.
Debate around what constitutes authentic contrition “is a
sign of how unclear we are as a
society, about what it means to
take responsibility for something,
and what we’re looking for,” says
David Karp, the director of the
Center for Restorative Justice at
the University of San Diego’s
School of Leadership and Education Sciences. “What I need to see
is just going to be different from
what you need to see, and we
should honor those differences.
But it’s also just a mess, because
we have no other references for
what accountability means but
the punitive model.”
“No one said this is going to be
easy,” says Brodsky, who agrees
that restorative justice is a good
model. But, she adds, “[t]his
doesn’t end with you being a hero.
This ends up with you maybe having repaired some of the harm
that you caused, but maybe you
don’t wind up having a career in
Hollywood.”
Wherever the path leads
Loeffler is deeply skeptical that
a story about Parker can be useful.
“I’ve found that asking women
what men need to do, like asking
survivors and victims how to get it
right so he can have forgiveness, is
the ultimate example of feigning
incompetence to deflect responsibility,” she says. “Answering any
questions, or giving it any attention, is self-defeating because it is,
again, making women responsible for a man’s behavior.”
Loeffler adds: “What happened
to my sister happened because of
systems that benefit male athletes
and program us to believe that
men are more competent, honest
and trustworthy. With the MeToo
movement backlash, including
the programming of young men
through online content that they
are inherently superior to women,
we should be giving all our attention to the fact that we are standing at an inflection point that will
determine the outcome of women, and humanity.”
Parker sounds as if he knows
that criticism is inevitable. “One
of the things I’ve learned on this
journey is that I can only control
the things I can control,” he says.
“Six years ago I was trying to
control what people thought of
me. I fought to stand in my truth,
even when it meant ignoring the
pains and hurts of others that had
been impacted by my behaviors.
Six years later, I’m clear that I’m
not fighting for anything selfserving.”
He rises from the couch to give
a tour of the house, pointing out a
bookcase he built, as well as the
backyard treehouse he put up for
his children when the phone
stopped ringing. He talks about
the Nate Parker Foundation,
which he established in 2015 to
mentor young people in visual
storytelling, and he mentions that
he wants to share what he’s
learned with adolescents and
teens so that they don’t internalize the same messages about masculinity he did as a boy — about
entitlement and sexual conquest,
impunity and strength. “I do think
a digestible version of this work,
introduced very early in the lives
of young men, could really shape
their value system,” he says. “And I
don’t know of any systems that
exist that do that. Does it have to
take a tragedy to learn these
things?”
Parker rests his eyes on the San
Gabriel Mountains baking in the
distance. It’s as if he’s contemplating his own path — one on which
he insists he’ll stay, wherever it
leads. Whether it will be a path
back is not for him to decide.

A speedy, scenic seaplane flight from D.C. to New York
BY

A NDREA S ACHS

From the cockpit, Schewitz
swiveled around and gave us a
Maverick-caliber
thumbs-up.
Then we were off, rumbling down
the runway, headed for the river.

Eighty minutes in the air, plus a
splash in the East River, and I was
in Manhattan.
Tailwind Air’s seaplanes are
the latest mode of transportation
to connect the Washington area
to New York City, and the amphibious flights eliminate much of the
dread associated with the trip
north. Passengers won’t hit traffic
snarls (car, bus) or find themselves exiled in the wrong borough or state (commercial air).
The travel time is also quicker
than the train, including Acela,
which clocks in at less than three
hours.
Although a seaplane ticket is
pricey, with one-way fares starting at $395, the views from the air
are exclusive to private planes
and birds. Plus, the water landing
will cause the jaded heads of New
Yorkers to turn.
On an afternoon suitable for
flying and boating, I boarded a
Tailwind seaplane to determine
whether the journey to New York
City could be as appealing as the
destination.
Flying by air, landing by sea
Tailwind Air was founded
in 2012, but the carrier only recently started offering amphibious flights. The company flies
eight-seater Cessna Caravans,
which are popular in Alaska,
where seaplane travel is almost
pedestrian.
In 2020, it introduced seaplane
service on routes bookended by
bodies of water, such as Manhattan to the Hamptons. The following year, it launched flights between the East River and Boston
Harbor, and it has been on a tear
ever since, adding Plymouth and
Provincetown, Mass.; Sag Harbor,
N.Y.; and, most recently, the
Washington area.
The company’s original plan
was to depart from College Park,
which is disappointingly landlocked, so passengers would not
experience a water takeoff and
landing on the same trip. Security
issues, however, forced Tailwind
to scout for a new airport, which it
found in Virginia, but, Strike 2:
not on the Potomac. Washington
Dulles does have a little pond, if
that’s any consolation.
The company’s maiden voyage
took place Oct. 14. I booked a
flight departing three days later.
Before taking off, I had to break
my old commercial air habits and
become versed in the ways of
seaplane travel.
Regular rules do not apply
Tailwind Air leaves from Jet
Aviation, a fixed-base operator
(FBO) permitted to manage private, charter and commuter
flights out of Dulles. Passengers
departing from here do not have
to go through the same security
rigmarole as they do in major
airports. The airline screens travelers in advance using a national

database. This means no body
scans, bag inspections or stressful
queues of any type.
The 3-1-1 rule does not apply.
Passengers can bring grown-upsize liquids onboard. So, fill up
that Big Gulp cup and toss in the
125-milliliter bottle of perfume.
One dog — or two, if they belong
to the same family — is permitted
in the cabin. The owner must pay
the regular fare for pups weighing
25 pounds or more, and secure
smaller dogs in an approved carrier.
Passengers are allowed 20
pounds of baggage each. The
company charges $250 for extra
luggage and may ship the items
separately. When booking, you
must provide your weight, and
although it’s important to be honest, no one is going to come after
you with body fat calipers.
Seaplanes follow the same
weather advisories as other aircraft, with one notable exception:
“The pilot has to be able to see the
water,” said Alan Ram, the airline’s chief executive, explaining
that seaplanes don’t fly at night.
Because seaplanes don’t fair
well on ice, Washington’s season
will end on Dec. 21 and resume on
March 21.
If the aircraft can’t splash
down, the pilot will divert to the
nearest terrestrial airport, such
as New York’s Westchester or
Teterboro in New Jersey. The
company will cover the cost of
shuttling you to Manhattan, so
you won’t be stranded.

Preboarding rituals
Jet Aviation is not directly attached to Dulles, so driving is the
best option. Parking is free, a nice
perk if you fly round trip but not,
if, like me, you booked a one-way
ticket. If you don’t have a car, you
can catch ground transportation
from the main airport or grab a
taxi or car share.
According to the company, Jet
Aviation has an on-demand shuttle that will transport passengers
to and from IAD’s main terminal.
When I called Tailwind to arrange
a ride, I was told to drive or take a
cab; I later learned that I should

have called Jet Aviation. To eliminate a step, I ordered a Lyft from
the Wiehle-Reston East Metro
station for about $15.
The gate closes 10 minutes before takeoff. Ram recommended
gliding in no more than 20 minutes beforehand. I arrived a halfhour before the 2:05 p.m. takeoff
and checked in at the front counter. There was no need.
“We will pass along the message to Tailwind,” an employee
said with the same unhurried
tone of a nail salon receptionist.
Two guys dressed in khakis and
blue polo shirts were relaxing on a

couch, heads deep in their gadgets. Let me guess: Bachelor party? College reunion? Company retreat? Nope: They were my pilots.
“Just relax. You didn’t have to
be here so early,” said Captain
Adam Schewitz when he overheard me checking in. “But they
do have good free coffee at FSOs.”
Indeed, a hot beverage machine
has nine options.
I didn’t think 30 minutes
was excessively early until I discovered that our plane was delayed by 45 minutes, for what
Schewitz described as “not a good
reason.”
A “VIP passenger” had asked
for a later departure, he told me
apologetically. I had not received
notification, which led to another
apology. (The company said passengers should receive real-time
alerts about delays. On the day I
flew, the automated system was
not yet operating on the new
route.) However, the airline contacted the two other travelers,
and the delay was cut in half.
As soon as the other passengers
arrived, we made our way to the
plane, a quick walk from the main
building.
We could choose our seat. For
the best panoramas, I followed
Schewitz’s advice and plunked
down on the right side of the
plane. I had significant leg room
and didn’t have to worry about a
beverage cart slamming into my
shins, because there was no food
or drink service or flight attendants (or bathrooms).

Renting a car? Bypass those surprise charges with these tips.
Brad Cross
expected to pay
just $350 for a
Honda Accord he
rented in June for
four days from
The
Avis in Salt Lake
Navigator City. Instead, the
CHRISTOPHER car rental
company
ELLIOTT
broadsided him
with a surprise
$2,974 charge to his credit card.
“Avis said the rental was
extended into a one-way rental
and dropped in another state,”
says Cross, a software developer
from Maple Grove, Minn. “But
that wasn’t me.”
The charge, it turns out, was a
mistake (more on that later), but
customers are being hit with
more “surprise” rental car
charges these days — some
intentional, some not.
Gone are the times of simple,
transparent charges. Hidden fees
— also known as junk fees —
recently drew the ire of President
Biden, who has promised to crack
down on them in travel and
beyond.
But there are ways to avoid
these higher charges. Whether it’s
an erroneous bill like Cross’s or a
smaller unexpected fee, here are a
few tricks.
What are the most common
car rental fees?
Car rental fees are up 14
percent this year, according to
J.D. Power. The charges include
fees to offset the cost of renting at
an airport and extras for fuel and
insurance. Here are the most
common charges.
Additional driver fees: If
there’s more than one driver,
your car rental company may
charge extra. The company
may waive the fee if it’s your

“Airport concession fees can
increase your bill by up to 20
percent,” says Roger Broussard, a
frequent traveler who publishes a
site for pilots.
His advice for lowering your
car rental bill: “Avoid renting a
car at the airport,” he says.
You can use the courtesy van to
get to your hotel and rent from
there. Or you can catch a rideshare to an off-site location,
though that cost could be more
than the extra cost for renting at
the airport. Bear in mind, though,
that some car rental locations
near the airport are also charging
fees, so you’ll have to pay
attention to the fine print.

spouse or if you’re a frequent
renter.
Fuel purchase options: Car
rental companies will offer to fill
up the tank at a premium, so you
can avoid having to refill before
returning the vehicle. You can
avoid this fee by filling the tank
on your own. Also note that rental
companies don’t refund you for
unused fuel.
Insurance: Agents at the
counter will try to upsell
customers on insurance. And it’s a
hard sell. They may tell you that
your auto insurance policy isn’t
enough or that your credit card
won’t cover you — both usually
untrue. The extra insurance can
sometimes double the cost of your
rental. To avoid this upsell, read
your cardmember agreement or
auto insurance policy to make
sure you have coverage.
Junk fees: These can include
airport concession fees (which

cover fees the company pays for
operating at the airport), license
recovery fees (which cover the
cost of a car’s license and
registration) and even a tire
disposal fee. You can’t negotiate
these fees off your bill, but they’re
usually disclosed before your
rental, so you can avoid locations
that charge them.
Avoid renting at the airport
One of the top complaints from
travelers is the extras added to
bills for concessions or airport
transportation. These are not new,
but airports are almost constantly
raising them. Airports charge
these to car rental companies and
sometimes use the money to build
car rental facilities. Last year,
Honolulu International Airport
opened a new $377 million car
rental facility funded by a $4.50
surcharge added to every renter’s
bill.

Try the ‘pay now’ option
One way to avoid cost overruns
is to settle on a price before you
rent the car. You can book
through an opaque site such as
Hotwire, which offers prepaid
“Hot Rate” rentals, allowing you
to choose a rental location but not
the agency, which is revealed after
you book. The price you see is the
total price you’ll pay. The risk
there is you could get a rental
agency with poor reviews.
“To avoid surprises, you can
use the ‘pay now’ option when
booking a car,” advises Julie
Flores, vice president of
operations at Rate Highway, a car
rental technology firm. “Not only
will you see exactly what the final
taxes and fees are going to be,
avoiding any surprises, you can
also get a modest discount by
paying upfront for the rental.”
Dave Dzurick, a retired
broadcast engineer from Tucson,
recently discovered
EconomyBookings.com, a site that
offered several prepaid options.
He used it to rent a Hertz sedan in
Victoria, British Columbia.
“I paid everything up front,

and there were no surprises,” he
says.
But there’s a catch: The “pay
now” rates, while sometimes
cheaper than “pay later,” can be
nonrefundable.
Take photos of your vehicle
Travelers say car rental
companies are adding a lot of
“gotcha” charges after the rental.
For example, when Shanna
Schultz dropped her Sixt rental
car off in Paris after a family
vacation, her company tried to
charge her an extra $200 for a
missing trunk cover. Fortunately,
Schultz is a travel adviser and
knows the pitfalls of renting. She
had taken a video of the entire
rental when she picked it up.
“I showed the car rental
company the video footage from
when we had rented the car,” she
says. “It showed that the trunk
cover in question had not been in
the vehicle to begin with.”
The car rental company
dropped its claim.
She says taking images of your
rental is the best way to avoid a
billing surprise. “Before you even
put your luggage inside, take a
video,” she advises. “Inside,
outside, up and down: You never
know where they will say that the
charge came from.”
Can Avis fix this overcharge?
When Cross called Avis about
the nearly $3,000 charge, the
company asked him for his return
receipt. But Cross had already
thrown away the receipt. He did,
however, have a gas receipt that
put him near the airport on the
day of his return. It wasn’t enough.
“Unfortunately, we were
unable to find any discrepancies
in our system regarding the
return date,” Avis said in an email.
“At this time, we are unable to

Using your phone in the air
“We have phone service,” said a
very pleased, business-suited passenger, as the plane climbed
toward the pillowy clouds. “That’s
a reason to fly right there.”
I switched out of airplane
mode — another commercial air
rule I could ignore — and watched
our blue dot in Google Maps move
through Loudoun County. “I am
looking for my house,” a Tailwind
employee-cum-passenger said.
The flight was smooth until we
hit a stormy patch in Maryland. I
placed both feet on the floor to
steady myself. The pilot found a
keyhole in the dark clouds and
headed for a patch of blue. I
resumed my relaxed pose.
“No bars,” said the man on
Cellphone Service Watch as we
flew over West Chester, Pa.
After passing over a Trader
Joe’s in New Jersey, Schewitz informed us that we would be landing in “mmphf” minutes. “Fifty?”
I asked. He lifted up one finger
and then five.
Ahead, the New York skyline
appeared like a pop-up card.
Schewitz flew toward the tip of
Manhattan and up the Hudson
River. He took a loping right turn
and traversed the island. Through
my window, I saw Central Park in
its totality, a giant green carpet
unfurled.
Marine landing in Manhattan
On the East River, the plane
landed with a whoosh and a thud.
The finale was as scream-worthy
as a rapids rafting ride at a water
park. However, I only let out a soft
“whoa.”
The co-pilot hopped out and
balanced on a pontoon while
Schewitz steered the plane
toward the shore. “Welcome to
New York,” he said, after co-pilot
Austin Tichy had tied us up at the
Skyport Marina dock as if we were
a boat.
On the pier, Schewitz told us
that we had reached an altitude of
9,500 feet and a speed of 220
knots. “I wanted to see how fast I
could go.”
From the dock, it took me 60
seconds to enter the maw of Manhattan.
The takeaway
The seaplane is more than just
a conveyance to New York City. It’s
also a sightseeing flight that ends
with a double exclamation point.
It earned practicality points for
being speedy and convenient, at
least in the destination. Because
the service is new to Dulles, I can
overlook the few hiccups.
For the price, I could not become a frequent flier, but I might
splurge on a ticket for a special
occasion — and spring for a driver
from Washington, too.

make any corrections or issue a
credit to your account.”
I asked Avis to take another
look at his case. It turns out the
company had confused Cross’s
rental with someone else’s. It
apologized and credited his card
$2,624.
Cross was persistent, which
may be the most effective way to
avoid paying a surprise car rental
charge. He kept contesting his
bill, with a little help from me,
until someone finally agreed to
fix the charges.

12 ways to avoid long Disney lines,
from the people who know them best
BY

H ANNAH S AMPSON

At a Disney theme park, some
parts of the experience are guaranteed: Mickey Mouse ears will
be everywhere, kids will melt
down and lines will be long. So,
so long.
Even as admission prices continue their decades-long climb,
the crowds keep coming for a
piece of Mickey Mouse’s magic.
Sometimes, those masses are
willing to wait about two hours
to climb on a fictional winged
creature for a simulated flight
experience.
“When you use the phrase
‘time is money,’ there’s no better
place to describe that than Walt
Disney World,” said Conor
Brown, owner and head tour
guide of Magical Park Tours,
which offers concierge tours of
Orlando-area theme parks. “If
you’re spending all this money,
are you spending it just to wait in
lines, or are you spending it to
have a good time?”
Just because the lines form
doesn’t mean you always have to
wait in them.
Multitudes of fan blogs, YouTube videos, Instagram Reels
and TikToks are devoted to helping park visitors navigate the
happiest places on Earth — without spending all day queuing up.
And Disney offers several options to bypass crowds at a
variety of price points.
Some hacks don’t cost anything except an extra hour of
sleep you’ll lose from an early
wake-up call. Others could set
you back three months’ rent. At
the very least, most require
planning in advance, a wellcharged smartphone and a little
research.
1. Arrive an hour before
parks open
Every Disney expert interviewed for this story emphasized the importance — nay, the
absolute necessity — of showing
up before a park even opens.
The good news for early birds is
that not everyone can swing this
miracle of morning organization.
“You can tell everyone to get
there early and they’ll still show
up late,” said David Vaughn, a
theme park content creator
based in Southern California.
Brown, who is also a travel
agent, blogger and podcaster,
advises arriving an hour before
you’re officially allowed to enter.
That means you’ll have time
to park or take alternative transportation, make it to the gate,
go through security and still be
near the front of the line to
enter — and among the first

to get in line for rides.
“In those early hours, you can
knock out a lot,” he said. Visitors
should know in advance what
they want to ride, tackle popular
options while morning crowds
are still thin and build the rest of
the day from there.
2. Stay to the last minute
Just because a park closes at
10 p.m. doesn’t mean you have
to be walking to your car at 9:55.
The lines close when the parks
do — but if a ride is operational
and you hop in line one minute
before closing time, you can
stay.
“Regardless of the time the
parks close, you will not be asked
to leave any attraction as long as
you are already in line,” wrote a
panelist for planDisney, the company’s official source for planning advice.
Lines can be much shorter just
before closing, because many
guests have already headed out.
Disney Tourist Blog founder
Tom Bricker said the first and
last two hours of the day are the
best for avoiding long lines.
“Even if doing so requires
taking a midday break to rest
and recharge, it’s worth it in
order to be there for those times,”
he wrote in an email, adding that
“avoiding midday Florida weather is another upside.”
3. Avoid peak seasons
Don’t go at Christmas, during
spring break or in the height of
summer and expect a line-free
experience.
“Try to avoid when school is
out at all costs,” said Brown, a
former cast member. He said the
end of August and early September are great for lower crowds, as
is early January after the winter
holidays and early May after
spring break.
Just remember to avoid holiday weekends or the big races
that Disney organizes on-site,
which get crowded. Bonus: The
least-crowded times also tend to
be the least expensive for tickets.
4. Ditch the group
Some rides offer a queue for
“single riders,” who can be added
to take an empty spot when a
group traveling together doesn’t
fill every seat. This can cut down
wait times significantly. The
downside is you’ll be split up
from your friends or family —
but maybe that’s an upside during a long day?
The option is typically available on four popular rides at
Walt Disney World in Florida
and eight across Disneyland Resort in California.
Kids have to be at least 7 to

participate. However, Melanee
Berman, a registered nurse and
Disney influencer who creates
individualized itineraries for
Disneyland, said she doesn’t typically recommend it for children
younger than 13.
5. Learn about ‘rider switch’
This is less a skip-the-line tip
than a don’t-wait-in-line-twice
one. Many — but not all — rides
at Walt Disney World and Disneyland have a “rider switch”
option when groups have one or
more members who can’t ride an
attraction.

Berman said means that an older
kid who rides with one parent
first can also tag along for the
second round.
6. Skip the parades and
fireworks
Maybe it’s your idea of a
great time to watch costumed
characters wave from moving
floats or fireworks explode over
a castle. If so, this tip is not for
you.
If you’re willing to flee the
special shows, head for the attractions while everyone else is
distracted.

“If you’re spending all this money,
are you spending it just to wait in lines,
or are you spending it to have a good time?”
Conor Brown, owner and head tour guide of Magical Park Tours

Visitors need to alert a Disney
employee (or cast member) that
they’re taking part in a rider
switch. One adult waits with the
child or other member of the
party who can’t ride, and when
the other adult returns, they
swap, and the first one can go
directly on the attraction without waiting.
Disney World’s description
notes that the person who waited
alone can bring a guest with
them when they ride — which

Vaughn said the parade tip is
especially useful for rides in the
Fantasyland areas of Magic Kingdom in Florida or Disneyland in
California, which are packed
with rides that appeal to smaller
children.
“The lines, you’ll watch them
drop,” he said.
7. Mobile-order your meals
Instead of waiting in line to
order food at a quick-service
restaurant at the California or

Florida parks, visitors can order
in advance through the Disneyland or My Disney Experience
app. Pick the restaurant and an
arrival time, order and pay.
When the time arrives, get near
the dining venue and hit the
button that says you’re there.
When the notification to pick up
your food comes, go to the mobile-order window.
“It saves you a ridiculous
amount of time,” said Berman,
who created a beginner’s guide
to the Disneyland process on
Instagram (@the_disney_rn).
8. Ring up your own merch
Some stores in Disneyland
and Disney World parks allow
shoppers to scan bar codes
through the app and pay on their
phones. They need to show the
confirmation of a QR code to a
cast member before leaving with
the goods.
“At the end of the night, when
the park starts to close down and
everybody floods into the gift
shop and the lines are crazy long,
that’s a beautiful one,” Berman
said.
9. Get the official
line-skipping tool
A fairly new and controversial
addition, the replacement for the
once-free FastPass service is
proving essential (if pricey) to
knock out the rides you want
during a visit.
There are two elements: Genie
Plus lets guests pay a daily fee to
reserve expedited access to many
rides. Individual Lightning
Lanes charge a separate fee for
quicker access to the most popular rides. Prices for both went up
last month.
At Disneyland Resort in California, Genie Plus now starts at
$25, up from $20. In October, the
price started at $15 but could be

Guests visit Walt Disney World on Sept. 27. Try skipping the shows in areas such as Magic Kingdom,
above, and instead head for the attractions while everyone is distracted, says David Vaughn.

as much as $22, depending on
demand; previously, it was always $15.
“For as complicated as it is and
for as costly as it is, it’s still worth
it to use it,” Brown said. “You can
get on some super-popular
rides.”
He said guests should turn to
someone who is familiar with the
system — a travel agent or a
friend with experience — to
help them make the most of it,
because it has changed so frequently.
10. Splurge on after-hours
events
Some parks on certain nights
offer separate ticketed events for
night owls, with part of the
appeal being “lower wait times,”
according to the parks. In 2023,
Disney’s Hollywood Studios and
Magic Kingdom are selling tickets for dates early in the year at
prices that rival a full day’s
admission.
“That is an enormous time
saver,” said Jeffrey Merola, a Walt
Disney World guidebook author
and owner of Mouse Vacation
Planning. “Disney limits how
many tickets they sell. You could
literally end up near the front of
the line, [with] very minimal
waits.”
Disneyland After Dark event
dates have not been announced
for next year.
11. Stay in a Disney-approved
hotel
Merola recommends staying
on-site, which gives guests entry
into parks 30 minutes before the
rest of the crowds. Of course, that
means tip No. 1 — set the alarm
early and show up before the
gates open — still applies.
Visitors in Florida should
check to see whether their hotel
offers the perk; Brown said some
properties that aren’t official
Disney resorts still get early
access.
Guests at certain deluxe hotels
in Florida can also take advantage of extended night hours on
certain dates.
12. Pay (a lot) for VIP
treatment
This is the nuclear line-skipping option, the granddaddy of
them all — and it doesn’t come
cheap.
Private VIP tours for up to 10
people buys access to a guide, a
customized itinerary and “the
ability to enjoy some of your
favorite attractions efficiently,”
according to the Walt Disney
World description. In Florida,
the cost ranges from $450 to
$900 per hour for a minimum of
seven hours.
At Disneyland, the price starts
at a total of $3,500, also with a
seven-hour minimum.
One big catch: Visitors still
need to pay for admission separately.
Merola said he has done a
tour, though Disney paid for it:
“You do a ton,” he said. “Very
little waiting.”

4 stops worth savoring on Puerto Rico’s ‘pork highway’
driguez, daughter of the original
owner.
People say the food is very
familiar if you grew up in places
such as Cayey, Caguas or Ponce.
Highlights include dishes such
as gandinga (liver stew), guanimes (boiled cornmeal), guineitos en escabeche (green bananas and vegetables) or rice
with a little pega’o (crunchy bits).
Cold bottles of Malta, a Caribbean soft drink with a strong barley
and molasses flavor, are just a
few feet away. A meal will cost
about $8 to $12 per person.
The open-air, cafeteria-style
seating is common for these
eateries. During the busy season,
they serve thousands of people.
Aside from a few days before
Easter weekend, Los Pinos is
always open.
Breakfast is available seven
days a week. There are eggs and
oatmeal, but also some of the
dishes you’ll see in the afternoon, such as soups and alcapurrias. The restaurant hosts
live music only on the weekends,
holidays and special occasions.
Rodriguez says that just about
everything they cook is sourced
from the island. They also work
with the pig-farming cooperative
that’s behind the “Cerdo Rico”
seal in the dining room.
Waiting in line, you’ll notice
that women are the most visible
workers. Rodriguez says 90 percent of the staff is female, and
although it’s not intentional, in
her experience, they’re masters
at handling the grueling work.
It took Los Pinos a couple of
weeks to open after Hurricane
Maria. When it did, the business
could support only a few people
working. So Rodriguez’s father
cooked in the kitchen, while she
and her mother worked the
counter.
During that time, she noticed
that people weren’t just purchasing food but were also asking for
basics, such as water and ice. So
Los Pinos stepped up to lend a
hand when times were desperate.

On La Ruta del Lechón,
these popular sites
offer spit-roasted bliss
BY

A NTHONY J . R IVERA

puerto rico highway 184 —

The road to roast pork begins 30
minutes south of San Juan’s
beaches. Paying the toll for Puerto Rico Highway 52 takes you
deep into the interior of the
island, past weathered houses,
towering palms, bamboo forests
and sprawls of banana trees.
Exit onto Route 184 near an
area called Guavate, Cayey, and
you will come upon La Ruta del
Lechón, the “pork highway.”
Lechón is spit-roasted pig.
When prepared properly, it is
some of the juiciest, most flavorful meat on the planet. Pork
lovers from all around the world
have visited Guavate’s famous
open-air lechoneras.
Why is there so much roast
pork along this road? Search for
advice on YouTube, and you’ll
hear travel gurus explain that
these places were established to
serve hungry locals driving from
Ponce at the southern end of the
island to the capital in the north
— or vice versa.
Lechonera workers here say
many of those commuters were
actually in the region because of
a penitentiary camp (now
closed) just a few miles away.
Food historian and professor
Cruz Miguel Ortíz Cuadra, author of “Eating Puerto Rico: A
History of Food, Culture, and
Identity,” says the lechoneras
benefited from their proximity to
the prison, which included a
farm that raised hogs for surrounding communities. The local pork boasts a distinctly Puerto Rican taste, because pigs on
the island consume native fruits
and vegetables.
Over time, Guavate became
the capital of lechoneras.
“Probably it became a very
important place to go as a frugal
family,” Ortíz says. On holidays
and special occasions, families
would come for communal feasts
of reasonably priced meat.
Small shacks equipped with
little beyond a machete and a
scale evolved into sprawling,
well-maintained properties with
bars and dance floors. As they
grew, they held on to the food
that made them so popular —
and the jungle-style meat cleavers.
When Hurricane Fiona landed
in September, it brought flash
floods and mudslides while
knocking out power to the entire
island. Around Guavate, the
downpour flooded the subtropical terrain and toppled trees. The
lechoneras seem to be back to
full service, although some relied
on generators to function for
weeks after the storm.
On Highway 184, there are
plenty of lechoneras worth a
stop. You could simply follow the
aroma of the rotisseries until you
land at a place you like. On your
first visit, though, you should
consider one of the most popular.
1. Lechonera Los Amigos
As drivers come off the toll
road and onto Highway 184, Los
Amigos is there to greet them. An
array of picnic tables has frontrow seats to the restaurant’s
main event: whole roasted pig.
A worker standing behind
glass uses a giant blade to hack
off chunks of meat for customers.
The pork, other meats and sides
steam on a hot table as guests
scoot past.
A typical plate might contain
lechón, arroz con gandules and a
chilled Medalla Light beer. That
can run you anywhere between
$11 to $13.
Nearly every lechonera serves
tasty pasteles, and Los Amigos is
no exception. The traditional
dish, comparable to tamales, is a
staple on La Ruta associated
with holidays such as Thanksgiving, Three Kings Day and New
Year’s. During Christmas, Los
Amigos sees thousands of customers, and owner Luis Prieto
says he cooks more than three
dozen pigs just to keep up with
demand.
Look around, and there are
life-size likenesses of the owner
with one of his former employees
on the walls. A photo stand-in of
a pair of cartoon piglets is
propped up near the entrance for
a TikTok-worthy shot. Top 40
hits pump through speakers, as
people take their food to one of
the restaurant’s 150 seats.
Although some lechoneras
have an online presence of some
kind, Prieto takes his business to
another level. He has recorded a
video on YouTube nearly every
day for years. He often reveals
where food is being cooked or
shows members of his smiling
staff who are restocking or making coffee.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Lechonera El Rancho Original has always been a local hot spot, says Carlos Santos, who has been operating it
for 17 years; at Lechonera Los Amigos, a typical plate might contain lechón, arroz con gandules and a chilled Medalla Light beer, which
could cost $11 to $13; Lechonera Los Pinos is the lechonera that Anthony Bourdain raved about in his television show “No Reservations”;
the name of Lechonera El Mojito derives from the spicy, zesty sauce served as a condiment to the pork, not the Cuban cocktail.

lechonera is Café Prieto, which
serves espresso drinks and pastries. The shop is open for business, but the owner says there
hasn’t been seating inside amid
the pandemic. He does plan to
reopen the space at some point
as he works on the next phase of
his venture.
In 2023, Prieto hopes to open
an expansion. He’s calling it
Señora Barra and says the new
space will operate with a separate kitchen that offers tapasstyle appetizers. Señora Barra
will also feature cocktails and
artisanal beer from Puerto Rican brands such as Ocean Lab,
Old Harbor, Del Oeste and Zurc.
At some point next year, Prieto
says he even hopes to open a
tasting room and wine cellar
nearby for members-only clientele.

2. Lechonera El Mojito
According to El Mojito manager David Flores, founder Jose
“Pepe” Colon began the business
cooking one pig a day. In less
than 10 years, the place became a
must-visit destination on La

Ruta. A framed photograph from
1984 has an inscription calling
the lechonera “la puerta” (the
door) of Guavate.
The name Mojito derives from
the spicy, zesty sauce served as a
condiment to the pork. Pepe
concocted it and was inspired by
the red sauces made in Salinas
on the southern coast — not the
Cuban cocktail, though the restaurant serves that, too.
A meal will run you about $10
to $12 per person including a
drink, such as a refreshing Coco
Rico soda. Besides pork, chicken
and turkey, options include morcilla (blood sausage), batatas
(sweet potato), yuca, tostones
and more.

Simply walk up to the line
where a worker takes your order
on a slip of paper, which then
makes its way past an oversize
plaster figure of a pig and to the
cashier. Within minutes, you’re
eating lechón in the dining area.
Look around, and you’ll see a
verdant green space with a big
mural on the wall that had to be
rebuilt after Hurricane Maria.
In it, a renowned farmer named
Stephanie Rodríguez is carrying
bananas or plantains. The owner, Leida Rivera (no relation),
says the painting honors the
hardship of the island’s agricultural workers in the wake of the
storm.

that reads “Cerdo Rico.” That
branding is linked to La Cooperativa de Porcicultores de Puerto
Rico y el Caribe, a pig farm
collective promoting meat produced exclusively on the island.
Rivera, who is Pepe’s niece,
says El Mojito values a relaxed
environment, so there is no
dance floor or live music. That
doesn’t stop locals from getting
up and dancing to the music on
the speakers.

3. Lechonera Los Pinos
Don’t be fooled by imitators
carrying the same name. Los
Pinos is the one and only lechonera that Anthony Bourdain raved
about in his television show “No
Reservations.” Since then, people
as far away as Thailand have
come to try the food.
Want to eat the comforting
island cuisine Puerto Ricans call
criollo? This is the place. The
restaurant has been around in
one form or another since the
1970s and has grown a few
thousand square feet since it
started, according to Erlíca Ro-

4. Lechonera El Rancho
Original
El Rancho Original isn’t just a
nice name. The owners claim to
run the very first lechonera on
Route 184, with El Mojito and
Los Pinos taking seniority somewhere behind.
Carlos Santos, who has been
operating El Rancho for 17 years,
says it began as a small shelter
made of sheet metal. Today, the
footprint is massive, spilling over
both sides of the street.
A meal can cost one person
anywhere from $9 to $12. Customers seek out dishes such as
pasteles, cuajo (hog maw), roasted chicken and turkey. Some
wash it all down with a cold can
of Kola Champagne.
The lechonera has always
been a local hot spot, Santos says.
The restaurant hosts two live
bands playing Puerto Rican music, and there’s plenty of space for
dancing. Some from the area say
a place such as El Rancho has
everything they need to enjoy the
weekends: food, drink, entertainment.
Diners wish you “buen
provecho,” or “enjoy your meal,”
as they pass by, gleefully carrying
theirs to any one of the gazebos
and pavilions lining the calming
waters of Rio Guavate. It isn’t
unusual to see a large white egret
hunt around river rocks while
you’re eating.
The place opens early and
closes at 5 p.m. on weekdays, and
on the weekends, it stays open
two hours longer. A few thousand people have been known to
descend on the business between
those times. Cars can be seen
lining the street. The lechonera
has to cook overnight to keep up
with the demand on Christmas
Eve.
Santos and his business partner say they can go through 35
pigs when busy, each weighing
roughly 150 pounds and able to
feed about 200 people.
El Rancho sources its hogs,
which are already slaughtered
and cleaned before delivery,
from the nearby town of Aibonito. It, too, carries the “Cerdo
Rico” sign in its dining area, and
Santos goes out of his way to
point out the Agriculture Department’s stamp of approval on
the loin of the pigs in the fridge.
Breakfast and coffee are also
served. Some locals are known to
come nearly every day and make
lechón their first meal.
“We’ve had a lot of people tell
us, ‘I’ve had a lot of roasted pig in
other places, but I didn’t know
that this place existed,’ ” Santos
says in Spanish. “They tell us that
they prefer ours to any other
place.”

THE UPGRADE

The power of exercising
while on vacation
BY

N ATALIE B . C OMPTON

To submit a travel hack to The
Upgrade, visit wapo.st/submitupgrade.
Open a travel guidebook, and
you’ll find recommendations on
where to stay, what to eat and what
to see. You’ll read about annual
festivals, etiquette considerations,
noteworthy museums and cooking classes, but workout options
rarely make the cut, unless they’re
emblematic of a place, such as
surfing in Costa Rica or skiing in
Tahoe.
I think that’s a shame — and not
because I believe in strict exercise
routines or shun relaxing on vacation. This has nothing to do with
diet culture, calories or Western
beauty standards. This is a treatise
on the power of workouts to cure
jet lag, increase your endorphins
and your appetite, and challenge
your mind and body in a new place.
The concept was planted for me
at an early age; my parents are
active and prioritized jogging,
swimming and going on bike tours
on family vacations. As I got older,

I started traveling heavily for
work, and if I didn’t exercise on the
road, I rarely had the opportunity,
because I was only at home for
short periods of time. Over hundreds of trips, I found that even if I
only had 20 minutes to stretch, my
body felt better after 12-hour
flights or 16-hour workdays as a
freelancer.
But I’m not telling you to suck
up precious vacation time in a
windowless hotel gym. Now that I
have a less-hectic 9-to-5, I don’t
work out when I travel out of
necessity; I do because it can create some of my favorite memories
from a trip.
Exhibit A: Portugal, 2o17. I was
in Porto to learn about the wine
industry and needed to do something that wasn’t drinking. To
combat the long car rides to wineries and hours of tastings, I
searched Google Maps for a Muay
Thai gym. I had fallen in love with
the sport while living in Thailand.
Boom Academy was far from
tourist areas. They had a beginner’s class that fit my schedule, so I
packed a bag with workout clothes
and walked from my hostel to the

MIN HEO/ILLUSTRATION FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

gym. Through Google Translate, I
asked the staff to buy a day pass.
This doesn’t always work; sometimes gyms are strictly for members. But I was lucky, and they
threw me in the class.
Did it feel low-key humiliating
sometimes? Yes. I don’t speak Portuguese‚ and I’m not good at Muay
Thai, but I could still follow the
instructor and have a great time
playing the role of the idiot for-

eigner. It was a social experience;
you bond with people you sweat
with, language barrier or not.
I left sweaty, humbled and relieved. We don’t always notice how
much stress we carry when we
travel, and exercising can take
away some of the load, like when
your dentist tells you to unclench
when you didn’t realize you were
clenching in the first place.
I can tell you dozens of similar

stories. I’ve surfed in Peru, played
pickup soccer in Morocco and
biked in Maine.
The workout doesn’t have to be
rigorous to be beneficial: Find a
realistic way to move that gives
you a taste of local life. Trying tai
chi, going for a walk in the woods
or getting on the water can be just
as satisfying.
Ultimately, this is a case for slow
travel. Instead of jam-packing

your day with sightseeing, you can
carve out an hour to appreciate a
place beyond its Tripadvisor highlights and catch magic in its mundanity. If I hadn’t gone to a gym in
Kathmandu, Nepal, I would have
never seen a man holding his dog’s
paw to cross the street on its hind
legs.
And, bonus, you prime your
body for one of travel’s greatest
joys: eating.

All-terrain wheelchairs arrive at U.S. parks
‘This is life-changing’: Sites in Georgia, South Dakota, Minnesota and Michigan are providing people with free adaptive equipment to explore off-road trails
A NDREA S ACHS
N ATALIE B . C OMPTON

BY
AND

Cory Lee has visited 40 countries on seven continents, and yet
the Georgia native has never
explored Cloudland Canyon
State Park, about 20 minutes
from his home. His wheelchair
was tough enough for the trip to
Antarctica but not for the rugged
terrain in his backyard.
Lee’s circumstances changed
Nov. 4, when Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources and
the Aimee Copeland Foundation
unveiled a fleet of all-terrain
power wheelchairs for rent at
11 state parks and outdoorsy
destinations, including Cloudland Canyon. The Action Trackchair models are equipped with
tank-like tracks capable of traversing rocks, roots, streams and
sand; clearing fallen trees; plowing through tall grass; and tackling uphill climbs.
“I’ll finally be able to go on
these trails for the first time in
my life,” said the 32-year-old
travel blogger, who shares his
adventures on Curb Free With
Cory Lee. “The trails are off-limits in my regular wheelchair.”
Georgia is one of the latest
states to provide the Land Rover
of wheelchairs to outdoor enthusiasts with mobility issues.
In 2017, Colorado Parks and
Wildlife launched its Staunton
State Park Track-Chair Program,
which provides free adaptive
equipment, though guests must
pay the $10 entrance fee. Michigan’s Department of Natural
Resources has placed off-road
track chairs in nearly a dozen
parks, including Muskegon
State Park. In 2018, Lee reserved
a chair at the park that boasts
three miles of shoreline on Lake
Michigan and Muskegon Lake.
“It allowed me to have so much
independence on the sand,” he
said.
In 2019, Sleeping Bear Dunes
National Lakeshore in Michigan
became the first national park to
offer a track chair, said superintendent Scott Tucker. This year,
Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes,
the nonprofit that oversees the
program, added a third.
South Dakota is also expanding its squadron: On Tuesday, the
South Dakota Parks and Wildlife
Foundation unveiled its second
all-terrain chair. South Dakota
resident Michael M. Samp is
leading a fundraising campaign
to purchase up to 30 chairs. Last
year, Samp’s father packed up his
fishing pole and piloted a track
chair to Center Lake in Custer
State Park. He reeled in trout,
just as he had before he was
diagnosed with spinal cerebral
ataxia.
“The plan is to have the chairs
spread throughout the state and
available for various outdoor activities including, but not limited to, park and trail enjoyment, hunting and fishing,” said
Kristina Coby, the foundation’s
director.

Island State Park in Minnesota

floored by what it could do,”
said Aimee Copeland Mercier
of the Action Trackchair.

AIMEE COPELAND FOUNDATION

This month, the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources will wrap up its months-long
pilot program that tested out the
chairs in five parks. On Wednes-

day, the agency will evaluate the
success of the amenity. Early
indications are positive.
“We want to create an unforgettable outdoor experience for

everyone, not just for people who
can walk,” said Jamie McBride, a
state parks and recreation area
program consultant with the
Parks and Trails division of the

Minnesota DNR. “People have
told us this is life-changing.”
The Georgia initiative was
spearheaded by Aimee Copeland
Mercier, who suffered a ziplining accident in 2012 and lost
both hands, her right foot and
her left leg to a flesh-eating
bacterial infection. Copeland
Mercier, a psychotherapist and
licensed clinical social worker,
tested several types of all-terrain
chairs before committing to the
Action Trackchair, which several
other state programs also use.
The Minnesota-based company was founded by Tim and
Donna Swenson, whose son, Jeff,
was paralyzed in a car accident.
The original design resembled a
Frankenstein of sporting goods
parts, with snow bike tracks and
a busted boat seat. Today’s model
could be an opening act at a
monster truck rally.
“I was floored by what it could
do,” said Copeland Mercier,
whose
foundation
raised
$200,000 to purchase the chairs
at $12,500 each. “Oh my gosh! I
can go over a whole tree trunk,
up a steep incline and through

snow, swamps and wetlands. If I
took my regular wheelchair, I’d
get stuck in five minutes.”
Each program has its own
reservations system and requirements. For Georgia’s service, visitors must provide proof of their
disability and a photo ID, plus
complete an online training
course available through All Terrain Georgia. Once certified, the
organization will forward the
rental request to the park. Copeland Mercier urges visitors to
plan ahead: The certification
course takes about an hour, the
foundation needs 72-hour advance notice and the park requires a 48-hour head’s up.
“These are 500-pound chairs,”
she said. “There are some risks
involved.”
The Minnesota DNR, which
owns and maintains its five
chairs, advises visitors to call the
park to reserve a chair.
“We have a few screening
questions,” McBride said, “but
we leave the eligibility up to the
user.”
Since launching the program
in June, McBride said, the chairs
are booked three to four days a
week, with heavier interest on
weekends. “We haven’t turned
too many people away at this
point,” he said.
Track chairs can conquer a
range of obstacles, but they do
not work in all environments.
“You need the width. If two
trees are too close together, the
wheelchair can’t pass between
them,” Copeland Mercier said.
“And some inclines are too steep.
The chair also can’t go down
staircases.”
To steer visitors in the right
direction, parks have created
maps highlighting the trails designated for the track chairs, such
as Staunton State Park’s trio of
routes that range from roughly
three to four miles. Visitors center staff members are also ready
with recommendations. (To
transfer from chair to chair,
visitors will need a companion to
assist.)
McBride said one goal is to
erect markers that would provide detailed information about
the hike, such the extent of
accessibility. “We want to let
people know if they can get all
the way to the waterfall or halfway,” he said, using a hypothetical example.
Copeland Mercier also has a
wish list. She hopes to expand
the network of chairs to other
parts of Georgia, such as the
coastal, southern and central
regions. Once the foundation
acquires several vans (another
aspiration), the staff could move
the 30 to 40 chairs (ditto) around
the state to fill fluctuating demand. She is also eyeing other
states.
“North Carolina is next,” said
Copeland Mercier, who divides
her time between Atlanta and
Asheville, N.C. But the grand
plan is even bigger. “The goal is
to alter the U.S.A.,” she said.

PERSPECTIVE

An epic trip in Germany, through the eyes of a sketch artist
BY

Beginning in München (Munich),
I was most taken by the Deutsches
Museum,
a
well-designed
collection of science and
technology. I had the luck to walk
through its old instrument
collection, where a guide was
rocking it on a 17th-century
organ.
In the evening, I parked outside
the magnificently rebuilt town
hall and discovered that, in
Germany, a “large” beer is a liter.
All the more time to sketch.

Rottweil — yes, the namesake for
the dog breed — was the next stop.
The city is lined with structures
remaining since the 16th century,
many in the downtown area
adorned with comic-esque panels
depicting flora, fauna and foods.
Here I met up with my brother
and his wife, who were traveling
through to Vienna. Rottweil is in
the Black Forest, so we sought out
Black Forest cake and ham,
finding both in a local farmers
market. They didn’t have forks, so
we had to eat it with our hands,
much of which ended up in my
beard. Locals stopped to
comment at the sight. I’ve since
been dubbed “Onkle Zuckerbart,”
or “Uncle Sugarbeard.”
As I discovered was true for
seemingly all of Germany,
Rottweil has a bustling wasp
population. Even after washing
off the cake, I would spend the rest
of the day fleeing wasps drawn to
my sweetened face.

I spent only a few hours at
Konstanz, mostly surrounded by
the flowers of the garden island
Mainau. Among the flowers were
instruments, exposed to the
elements
with
overgrowth
pouring from the cello holes and
piano tops, an ode to the baroque
period in which the island palace
and gardens were built.
Even outside this island,
German homes sport impressive
amounts of flowers, with every
front-facing window adorned
with boxfuls.

Karlsruhe is where I met up with
the friend who had kicked off the
trip. We ventured through the
Karlsruhe Palace, now the home
of the regional historical museum
and copious statues of winged
people. In Durlach, an eastern
borough of the city, sits Karlsburg
Castle and a fountain celebrating
love of all kinds of species (maybe
more literally than you’re used to).

D YLAN M ORIARTY

On the invitation of a close friend working abroad, I recently took a trip through Germany. ¶ I had no grand plans for
the trip — besides to enjoy the journey — and I knew I wanted to illustrate it. A camera is one way to capture the
world, but the meditation of re-creating moments in ink felt like a better, more personal tribute. Not to mention, after
a day of hiking through museums and city streets, easing weary feet with a beer and a couple of hours of sketching
was a godsend. ¶ As the route solidified, I set out to meet with family, friends and friendly strangers who surprisingly
answered a general “anyone want to hang out?” missive I put up on Twitter, achieving the 1999 dream of making new
connections through the internet. ¶ Here’s a summary of my trip, told through those sketches:

Konstanz

When you enter Köln (Cologne),
immediately off the train you’re
met by the Kölner Dom, a massive
cathedral so ornate that I admit I
wouldn’t dare try to fit it on these
pages.
While there, I was stuck on
coming up with a way to thank my
friend and others who shared
time with me on this trip. I was
reminded that sketching has
always been a way to better
connect with people. I only drew
as much as I did because I noticed
as a kid that it made pals happy to
see themselves drawn, a social
hack for an otherwise pretty shy
kiddo.
On my own for an evening, I
enjoyed an Italian dinner and
beer in a nearby park. A couple,
who had noticed me drawing a
nearby shirtless night club
pilgrim blasting loud music from
an amp on wheels, getting chewed
out by an older woman, asked
whether I would sketch them. It
was not a great portrait, but they
were
happy.
A
familiar
contradiction.

Karlsruhe
Hamburg was a longer stop,
which was great, because it’s a
beautiful city. Canals and rivers
thread through the city like veins,
commonly populated by locals
paddling through.
It’s also a city where I first got
the real sense of the destruction
following World War II. The
Speicherstadt, or downtown
warehouse district, has the canal
lined with eight-story brick
buildings whose constructions
have such a clear purpose that it’s
impossible to not imagine what it
was like in its heyday. But that’s
just one small part of the city that
barely survived Allied bombing.
Elsewhere, it’s noticeably more
modern structures.

Hamburg
Lübeck is a rare northern city that
survived both the world wars
mostly intact, medieval structures aplenty. Within Holsten
Gate, the main entrance to the
downtown, I met a local watercolor artist, Stanislaw Ostrowski. After buying an illustrated map
from him and showing my sketchbook, he took it and painted an
original in my book. Despite him
not speaking English, and my limited German, it was nice to have a
nonverbal means of communication.

Berlin

Mainz is another medieval city
that sits west of Frankfurt. It’s also
the home of Johannes Gutenberg
and a tribute museum that houses
three books of the printer’s
famous bibles.
Among the best things about
traveling is the minor changes you
encounter. Case in point: The
walk signals of Mainz feature
small gnome characters, the
Mainzelmännchen.

SKETCHBOOK PAGES BY DYLAN MORIARTY/THE WASHINGTON POST; PHOTOS BY KYLE SANDHOFF

The trip ended with a week-long
stay in downtown Berlin.
One evening, I trekked through
a former airfield turned park,
Tempelhofer Feld, with friends.
Although during the day it’s full of
life and picnics, we visited close
enough to closing that only a few
land sailors were still rolling.
While here, I took an experimental portrait workshop on a
boat turned art studio/bar, a particularly scrappy and beautiful
pocket in a scrappy and beautiful
city. The Berlin Wall remains
standing only in chunks and as an
outdoor installation with murals
painted on each, and in stringed
footprint of parks throughout.
Throughout Berlin, defunct structures find new life.
The return trip was less
smooth. A flight cancellation had
me up 30 straight hours, fueled
only by caffeine, but it gave me a
chance to finish the sketches.
After boarding the rescheduled
red-eye, within a few hours, I
landed back home.
Just in time to catch the sunrise
over Reagan National.

“Great

Americans quit their jobs.
Some left low-wage service positions
for higher pay. Others set off for new

Twelve months later, the magnitude of
those decisions is sinking in. Job openings are shrinking and economic anxiety persists over what’s next. The longterm effects of the coronavirus are still

Companies find sustainability easier to promote than execute

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

Corporations face scrutiny for missing lofty climate goals
GREENWASHING FROM G1

offices and supply chains.
And many, such as Delta, are
struggling to deliver.
There are a mix of reasons. Early on, some companies adopted
climate targets or “ambitions” for
public relations purposes. Other
companies have grown faster than
expected. Still others misjudged
the challenge of transforming
their operations, or assumed they
would never be held to account for
their ESG commitments, shorthand for “environment, social and
governance” policies.
“A lot of it is marketing and
virtue-signaling,” said Sam Lissner, a managing director at Ridgewood, a private equity firm with
investments in U.S. infrastructure
and energy. “The reality is it’s very
challenging to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions of particularly a
heavy industrial company like an
airline or manufacturer without
becoming a lot less profitable in
the near term.”
Cynthia Dalagelis, senior vice
president for ESG and impact investments at Amalgamated Bank,
recalls getting calls from public
relations firms seeking advice on
how companies could jump
aboard the sustainability bandwagon. “I said, ‘You’re seeing it the
wrong way. This isn’t a marketing
movement.’ ”
In the case of Delta, the airline
initially embraced carbon offsets
that would finance renewable energy, landfill gas recovery and the
prevention of deforestation.
But Delta now has a new chief
sustainability officer, Pam Fletcher, who said she opposes buying
such credits.
“It was the best tool at the time.
So kudos to getting some momentum on climate change,” she said.
“Now we are laser-focused on decarbonization in our company
and industry working on the issues within our own four walls.”
Over the past couple of years, a
new service industry of accountants, lawyers and consultants has
sprung up to help companies meet
climate objectives, and companies are feeling the pressure to
move quickly.
“The ticking time bomb is the
year 2030, when so many places
have said net zero or a certain
reduction goal,” said Sam Stark,
chief executive of Green Project
Technologies, which advises firms
on how to meet climate targets.
Companies could face consequences if they exaggerate climate
and ESG pledges or fail to deliver
on them. They could become the
target of lawsuits and shareholder
battles. Or they could run afoul of
new Securities and Exchange
Commission regulations, which
require corporate transparency
about climate risks, emissions and
investments in sustainability.
In disclosing their climate impacts, companies must detail
their “Scope 1 and 2” emissions.

WASHINGTON POST ILLUSTRATION

These are impacts from their own
operations, supply chains and energy purchases. Scope 3 emissions
are more tricky to calculate and
reduce because they involve the
greenhouse gases created when
customers use the products.
In its 119-page 2021 Environmental Sustainability Report,
Microsoft said it reduced Scope 1
and 2 emissions by 16.9 percent, or
58,654 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. But on the next
page, the report includes a chart
showing that Scope 1 and 2 combined make up just 2 percent of
Microsoft’s total emissions of
14 million metric tons.
Its remaining greenhouse gases
— Scope 3 — grew 22.7 percent, in
part because the company’s sales
have grown.
Microsoft says it still plans to
remove half of its carbon emissions by 2030.
Proctor & Gamble has been
mired in a dispute with its own
shareholders, two-thirds of whom
in 2020 voted for a resolution
urging the company to report on
its contribution to the degradation of sensitive boreal forests in
Canada. Shelley Vinyard, who
works on the P&G campaign at

Natural Resources Defense Council, said that “one of the things so
frustrating about the ESG process
is that shareholder resolutions are
nonbinding. The company has issued several reports. None get to
the heart of the matter.”
P&G also has come up with an
ESG “scorecard” to calculate executive bonuses. The scorecard can
shave 20 percent off executives’
bonuses for failing to meet ESG
goals, or it can add 20 percent to
those bonuses, according to the
company’s proxy statement.
P&G did not comment.
While companies use climate
“ambitions” to promote themselves in ad campaigns, there are
risks in doing so. In Australia, one
shareholder advocacy organization is trying to hold a company
responsible for its own rhetoric.
Last year the Australasian Centre
for Corporate Responsibility filed
suit against Santos, Australia’s
largest domestic natural gas supplier, accusing it of “greenwashing.” ACCR said Santos made misleading comments in its 2020 annual report to reach net zero by
2040 and that Santos had thus
violated both corporate and consumer law.

Santos, which says its natural
gas is “clean energy,” claims it has
a “clear pathway to net zero emissions by 2040” and that its “net
zero by 2040 target is supported
by a transition road map which is
clear and credible.” The ACCR also
alleges the company is relying on
untested assumptions about the
viability of large-scale carbon capture and sequestration, without
which it will not deliver on its
2040 goals. Santos did not reply to
queries on the lawsuit.
David A. Baay, head of energy
litigation at the law firm Eversheds Sutherland, said he offers a
standard piece of advice to clients:
“Avoid broad and vague claims.”
“It’s tempting to whatever
you’re putting into the public
square for it to be this kind of
broad encompassing language
like ‘product is clean’ or ‘sustainable’ or ‘eco-friendly,’ ” Baay said at
a recent panel discussion in New
York. “Those are keywords plaintiffs’ lawyers will pick up on and
drill down into your practices to
show there’s no way to support
that.”
The airline industry faces some
of the biggest hurdles in cutting
greenhouse gas emissions, largely

because there are no quick alternatives to current aircraft engines
powered by aviation fuel. As
Moody’s Investors Service recently put it, these realities “will not
support a rapid decarbonization
of the airline industry.”
About 10 million gallons of lowemission aviation fuel was produced in 2021, about 10 percent of
the industry’s current needs,
Moody’s said. Replacement of aging planes will cut emissions by
only 15 to 35 percent, it added,
noting: “There will not be a new
model that materially improves
fuel efficiency, or meaningfully
lowers emissions, and provides
the same utility in terms of number of passengers and cargo as
current product lines, before
2040.”
Although Delta once saw carbon offsets as key parts of its
future, the airline is now moving
to directly slash its emissions,
Fletcher said. It has electrified
ground equipment that tow
planes and carry luggage. It is
buying planes that are 25 percent
more efficient. It is researching
sustainable jet fuels. And it is collaborating with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lab

for Aviation and the Environment
on a quest to prevent contrails,
long-lasting clouds that trap heat
and warm the planet.
To hit its 2050 goals, Delta also
intends to use technologies that
suck carbon directly out of the air
and store it underground.
By contrast, United Airlines
was moving in this direction
much earlier, and is now bragging
about it. It has invested heavily in
companies researching synthetic
jet fuel with lower emissions, to
meet the Biden administration’s
goal of 3 billion gallons by 2030 for
U.S. production. That will require
the development of 300 to 400
synthetic fuel plants; it currently
has about 10.
“Lots of companies set goals
without a road map to get there,”
said Lauren Riley, managing director of global environmental affairs and sustainability at United
Airlines. “We realized that to rely
on a mechanism like carbon offsets would be writing a check for
someone to capture carbon elsewhere while we wouldn’t make
any decisions differently. It felt
disingenuous and would not be
modifying our operations in any
way. Why would we do that?”

Should I tell school district authorities we fired their new employee for lying?
Reader: Our
company hired a
remote employee
last year. We let
them go after
about eight weeks.
Work
We found they

and not getting
MILLER
work done, taking
credit for others’ work, and
throwing teammates under the
bus to deflect questions. When
they sensed we were about to let
them go, they vindictively
deleted hundreds of documents
in shared folders. When their
company credit card statement
came in, it showed nearly $5,000
worth of personal expenses from
weeks before they were fired. We
were able to get the money back
from the credit card but did not
pursue other charges.
This person’s résumé included
a previous assistant
principalship, as well as over a
decade of other K-12 educational
experience. I recently noticed on
LinkedIn that they have a new
job at an elementary school,
working with kids identified as
needing extra help. Their
LinkedIn profile history has
multiple differences from the
résumé they sent us — for
example, it now says they were a
principal rather than an
assistant principal — and does
not show that they worked for us.
Obviously I want to see justice
served. It doesn’t feel fair that
someone can get away with
abusing other people the way
they did. Also, as a parent, I
cannot stand the idea that
someone with that level of
integrity is working with

vulnerable kids. Part of me wants
to notify the district about this
person’s character, but I’m also
concerned they would try to plot
against me if they found out.
What would you do?
Karla: I share your frustration

that people can deliberately do
bad things and escape the slap of
justice. But I’m less certain on
when it becomes our individual
duty to call down that hand
ourselves.
Even if you aren’t worried
about the former employee
retaliating against you
personally, their current
employer is unlikely to simply
take the word of one stranger
without questioning your
motives and seeking
corroboration. That could end up
pulling you under some scrutiny.
Pursuing someone else’s
comeuppance rarely pays off for
the pursuer, even when the
pursuit is justified, so it’s
reasonable to question whether
the potential cost to you is worth
saying something right now.
Also, if I’m reading your
question correctly, you aren’t the
one making the calls about
hiring and firing and whether to
press charges. If that’s the case,
you’re unlikely to get
corroboration from your
employer, which has already
declined to prosecute their socalled victimless crimes.
(Victimless, that is, except for the
companies absorbing the cost of
those unpaid charges, or the rest
of us paying higher prices as a
result.) If contacted, your
employer would probably just
stick to confirming employment,
title and dates of service.

Without corroboration, the new
employer may just dismiss your
complaint as a personal smear
campaign.
As for fudging facts on their
résumé and LinkedIn profile, a
background check should have
uncovered some of those
discrepancies, but chronically
understaffed and underfunded
educational systems may not
have the resources for a detailed
investigation. Since your
employer filed no charges, no red
flags would show up on a
criminal-background check. And
when it comes to omitting their

Dilbert

two-month stint with your
company, I generally advise
readers to leave off short-term
filler jobs that don’t contribute to
their overall career narrative —
with the caveat that bad behavior
has a way of being found out, so
they should be prepared to come
clean about it.
Here’s what pinches my
conscience most: As qualified
educators are driven to seek
better-paying, less stressful
opportunities, their
replacements include a higher
concentration of candidates such
as your ex-colleague. Petty,

vindictive adults have no
business being in charge of
children — although my inbox
indicates such people exist at all
levels of academia. But then
again, someone can be “bad” in
an adult context and still be good
with children. It’s possible your
ex-colleague, as long as they’re
not handling money or working
remotely without supervision,
can be the help those kids need.
So with all those ping-ponging
counterpoints in mind, the
question becomes one of
probable harm. Will keeping this
information to yourself allow

further harm to occur? Can
sharing it prevent harm from
happening again?
If your ex-colleague’s past
misbehavior involved abuse of
children, or if their new position
involves access to other people’s
money, that’s a mandate for
speaking up. Otherwise, I’d be
inclined to give karma space and
time to do its thing, and wait
until it invites you to share what
you know — say, for example, if
you make friends with the parent
of a child in the care of your
former colleague.

Before your phone undergoes repair work, make sure those secrets are safe
BY

C HRIS V ELAZCO

Shattered screens. Bum batteries. An extended dip in the toilet.
The phones we poke at every
day can be surprisingly sturdy,
but invincible? Not even close.
And even though companies such
as Apple and Samsung have
launched self-service programs
for some straightforward fixes,
sometimes a trip to a local repair
shop — or gleaming gadget store
— is unavoidable. Just don’t forget about securing your personal
data first.
After all, our phones are about
as personal as tech gets. And
when you have to turn that device
over to someone — most likely a
stranger — it’s worth taking every
precaution. (That’s especially
true when you have to mail in
your phone for repairs, since it
could run into even more people
during transit.)
The next time you need to get
your phone fixed, be sure to have
these things in mind:
Keep control
of your phone number
Unless you’re fairly sure your
repair job will be a quick one,
you’ll probably want to make
sure you can still stay connected.
If your phone still has a physical
SIM card — that tiny sliver of
plastic and silicon that stores
your phone number — you can
remove it and pop it into another
phone to use as needed.
Not everyone will be that
lucky.
Some newer smartphones —
including all of Apple’s new
iPhone 14 models sold in the
United States — use “embedded”
SIMs instead of those fiddly bits

of plastic. That means you can’t
walk out of that repair shop and
easily slip your phone number
into another device.
Our advice? The moment you
know you’ll have to hand over
your phone for repairs, call your
wireless carrier to figure out your
options. If you’re lucky, you can
temporarily transfer your service
to another phone that works with
an eSIM — that includes iPhones
from the XR and XS generation,
newer Samsung Galaxy S phones
from the S20 onward, and all but
the first Google Pixel phone.
If that’s not an option, you may
be able to reactivate a physical
SIM card that’s still wedged inside your last phone to use temporarily. And if all else fails, you
may have to venture to a carrier
store to get a physical SIM to use
in one of your older phones until
you get the newly repaired phone
back.
The most secure option
There’s only one way to be
absolutely sure a repair technician can’t poke around in your
files: get rid of all of them before
you hand over your phone. Here’s
how to make that happen safely.
1. Back up your phone. For
iPhones, you can choose to either
back up everything to iCloud or
directly to a computer with a USB
cable. We recommend the latter,
as it’s usually a lot faster.
Things can be a little trickier
for Android phones; you can back
up your installed apps, messages,
preferences and more to your
Google account, but you’ll have to
make sure your photos and important files are saved somewhere else. Google Photos and
Google Drive are obvious choices,

things as safely as you can. Either
way, you can also remotely erase
an iPhone or Android phone
from the comfort of your computer.
If you have an Android phone
that seems like a step too far,
there’s one more thing to try:
remotely logging out of your
Google account. That ensures
that others can’t see anything you
have stored in, say, your Gmail or
Google Drive’s cloud storage.
Here’s how to do it from a computer:
View your account settings at
myaccount.google.com.
Click on the Security option on
the left side of the screen.
Scroll down to the box labeled
“Your devices,” then click on
“Manage all devices.”
Click the name of the device
you want to log out of, followed
by “Sign out.”
If your phone won’t turn on

EMMA KUMER/ILLUSTRATION FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

but you may also want to store
files on your computer instead.
2. Erase your phone. Once
you’re sure your important files
are stored somewhere safe, wipe
your phone entirely. On iPhones,
open the Settings app, tap General, Transfer or Reset iPhone,
Erase All Contents and Settings.
Different Android phones organize things their own way. You
can open the Settings app, tap
System or General management,
select Reset, then choose the
option for a Factory Data Reset.
3. Restore your phone. Once
your repaired (or replaced, or
new) phone is in your hands,

begin by setting it up as normal.
At some point during the setup
process, you’ll be asked if you
want to restore from a backup. Be
sure to pick the right — in this
case, probably the most recent —
one!
The alternatives
If you’re giving your phone to
someone — anyone — to work on
away from your supervision, you
should seriously consider the
backup-erase-restore
process.
But what if your phone is in such
bad shape that you really can’t
even use it?
Don’t worry — it happens to

the best of us. And there are still a
few precautions you can take,
even without directly touching
your phone.
If your phone still turns on

Android phones and iPhones
that still turn on and connect to
the internet leave us with some
helpful options. If you’ve previously set up your device to back
up to iCloud or Google One
automatically, you can check the
last time that has happened and
wait for the next auto backup if
needed.
Maybe it turns out you have a
workable backup after all, or
maybe you just want to play

We hate to say it, but there’s
not much you can do if this is the
case. If you’re really concerned
about what is on your phone, you
could try to remotely erase the
phone the way we described
above — should the phone turn
on and connect to the internet, it
will automatically try to reset
itself.
For basic repairs such as
screen replacements and battery
swaps, going to a local shop or a
chain such as uBreakiFix is fine.
But if you find yourself in a
situation like this where your
phone truly won’t come back to
life, the best play might be to
pursue repair through the company that made the phone — if
only because it improves the
chances of getting a full replacement.

and attributing any moves
directly to election results.”
How do politics color
investors’ actions in an
unhelpful way?
Short-term decisions based
on election results could create
fear of a long-term market
decline for some investors.
“When voters strongly favor
one political party over another,
it creates a bias toward
whatever they do as being
right,” Egan said. “If your party
has a bad election night and you
pull out of the markets because
you think things are going to
turn for the worse, you’re
leaving at a time when market
uncertainty is going down,
which the market likes.
“Lots of factors go into how
markets perform, and, in
general, people overestimate the
impact of politicians, especially
over the long term.”
How can reacting swiftly to
election results harm
performance?
Panic selling because your
favorite politician didn’t win or
political party didn’t dominate
is likely to harm your
investment performance,
because of the time you spend
out of the market, Egan said.
“Markets tend to rise in the
short term after midterms,” he
said. “Missing even a few of the
best market days in any given
year can absolutely crush your

overall returns.”
From 1993 to 2013, the S&P
500 had an annualized return of
9.2 percent, he said. “But if you
had missed just the 10 best
market days during that time
period, your annual returns
would have dropped to roughly
half, or 5.4 percent.”

“Markets tend to rise in
the short term after
midterms. Missing even
a few of the best market
days in any given year
can absolutely crush
your overall returns.”
Dan Egan, managing director of
behavioral finance at Betterment, a
digital investment advisory firm

Historically, how do the
markets perform after
midterms?
Temporary turbulence in the
stock market, such as on
Election Day, might scare some
investors into selling. That
would be a mistake, Egan said,
pointing to reports from
Vanguard and U.S. Bank.
Vanguard’s research, which
goes back to 1860, found that
the compounded annual return
for a portfolio of 60 percent
equities and 40 percent fixed

income performed roughly the
same whether a Republican or
Democrat was elected president.
“Some may assume that one
political party may have a better
effect on market performance
than the other, but evidence and
historical data both show that
this theory also falls flat,” wrote
Aviva Miller, a financial adviser
at Vanguard Personal Advisor
Services.
“In the end, long-term
investing success does not rely
on short-term market
developments,” Miller wrote.
“Instead, it’s more important to
have a well-balanced, diversified
plan that you hold for the longterm.”
The U.S. Bank report,
conducted before Tuesday’s
midterm elections, asked: Does
history provide any guide for
investors on what election
outcomes might mean for the
markets and economy?
Analysts studied Bloomberg
stock market data from the past
60 years, which included 15
midterm elections, and found
that the S&P 500 “has
historically outperformed the
market in the 12-month period
after a midterm election, with
an average return of 16.3%.”
Is there anything people
should do once the dust
settles?

immediate wake of Donald

decisions could have, and that
often results in positive stock
performance, Egan said.
If you’re still concerned about
your portfolio, talk to your
financial adviser to reassess
your financial goals, progress

and risk tolerance.
“In times like these, it can
also be a good idea to log off
social media and disconnect for
a few days,” Egan said. “You
won’t miss the important stuff,

DEPARTMENT OF DATA

Mixed-race neighborhoods have become the U.S. norm
BY T ED M ELLNIK
AND A NDREW V AN D AM

Deep in the bowels of the nation’s 2020 Census lurks a quiet
milestone: For the first time in
modern American history, most
White people live in mixed-race
neighborhoods.
This marks a tectonic shift
from just a generation ago.
Back in 1990, 78 percent of
White people lived in predominantly White neighborhoods,
where at least 4 of every 5 people
were also White. In the 2020
Census, that’s plunged to 44 percent.
Large pockets of segregation
remain, but as the nation’s White
population shrinks for the first
time and Hispanic, Asian, Black
and Native Americans fuel the
nation’s growth, diverse neighborhoods have expanded from
urban cores into suburbs that
once were colored by a steady
stream of White flight from inner cities.
Across the 9,700 neighborhoods that became mixed in
2020, White population dropped
by almost 300,000. Meanwhile,
the number of Hispanics jumped
by 1.5 million, the largest part of
a 4.3 million increase in nonWhites in those neighborhoods.
This demographic shift has
scrambled the nation’s politics,
introducing new groups of often
left-leaning voters into typically
conservative White-dominated
enclaves, according to Chris
Maggio, a sociologist at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Department of Criminology, Law
and Justice.
Maggio says the changes may
be helping to stoke a backlash
against immigration, especially
among less-educated White voters, that has helped boost the political fortunes of former president Donald Trump. “Latino
growth in particular is associated with increased Trump voting
in places where there were few
Latinos previously,” Maggio said.
More broadly, a new majority
of all Americans, 56 percent, now
live in mixed neighborhoods
where neither White people nor
non-Whites predominate — double the figure that lived in mixed
neighborhoods in 1990, accord-

ing to a Washington Post analysis
of census data. By racial group,
56 percent of White Americans
live in mixed neighborhoods, as
do 55 percent of Hispanic Americans, 57 percent of Black people
and 70 percent of Asian people.
William H. Frey, a Brookings
Institution senior fellow and author of the book “Diversity Explosion,” traces the trend to
sharply increased immigration
from Latin America and Asia
during the 1990s, as more Latinos and Asian Americans began
to disperse to the suburbs and

“Back when my greatgrandmother was
young … if you could
pass for White, you
would pass for White.”
Kay Decker, professor emeritus at
Northwestern Oklahoma State
University, on American Indians, who
now increasingly claim their heritage

elsewhere. “This dispersion continued more dramatically in the
2000s,” Frey said. “Also in the
2000s, for the first time, more
Black Americans lived in suburbs than cities.”
To highlight the changing circumstances of White Americans,
we’re using a conservative definition of mixed. Here it means that
no single race, or even all nonWhites together, make up 80 percent of the neighborhood population. A more traditional measure of diversity, which treats
each racial group separately,
finds similar trends and rankings, albeit at slightly different
levels.
Some of the swiftest change
came in Oklahoma. In 1990, fewer than a third of Sooners lived
in mixed-race neighborhoods; 15
states had higher rates. By 2020,
93 percent of Oklahomans lived
in mixed-race neighborhoods —
the highest rate in the nation.
A soaring Hispanic population
powered the diversification of
the Sooner State. It grew more
than fivefold from 1990 to 2020

as newcomers rushed to work in
food-processing plants, farms,
feedlots and construction sites
throughout the state.
But Kay Decker, professor
emeritus of sociology at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, pointed out that a subtler
force is also in action. The state’s
Native Americans, many descended from the Southeastern
and Midwest tribes that were
forcibly removed to the state,
have become more likely to report their heritage.
“Back when my great-grandmother was young, even if you
were American Indian, you
didn’t say you were,” Decker said.
“If you could pass for White, you
would pass for White.”
“Those people are finally, in
many respects, recognizing that
it’s okay to claim their heritage,”
she said.
And indeed, our analysis
shows the share of Oklahomans
claiming multiple racial backgrounds almost doubled from
2010 to 2020. And in Oklahoma,
more than any other state, people reporting multiple racial
backgrounds are likely to claim
Native ancestry as one of them.
Washington and Oregon also
saw extraordinary transformations. The once-White Pacific
Northwest states drew diverse
newcomers from around the nation and world to their emerging
tech-fueled metropolises. In both
states, the Hispanic population
has more than quadrupled since
1990, while the Asian population
has more than tripled.
Racially mixed neighborhoods
continue to be less common in
small towns and rural areas, and
are increasing the most in the
suburbs. Across large metro suburbs and medium metros, the
share of people in racially mixed
neighborhoods jumped by double digits over the past decade to
59 percent.
Because of their large populations, those changing suburbs
can influence close elections
when their votes shift. In the
presidential swing state of Georgia, for example, the rapidly diversifying Atlanta suburbs
played a key role in President
Biden’s 2020 victory. The suburban vote shifted toward Demo-

crats by almost 214,000 votes,
and Biden won the state by
12,000. Michigan and Wisconsin
saw similar shifts.
The fastest-diversifying metro
areas were the Northern California rodeo hot spot of Redding
and the well-touristed eastern
Poconos outpost of Stroudsburg,
Pa. In both cities, every single
resident lived in a predominantly White neighborhood in 1990
— now just 15 and 17 percent do,
respectively.
The neighborhoods that transitioned from White to mixed
over the past three decades often
follow the path of population
growth as it moves from city center to suburban rings around superstar cities like Washington,
D.C., Atlanta and Minneapolis.
There are some exceptions to
the declining White trend, especially in neighborhoods dotting
dozens of inner cities. There, urban redevelopment has gone
hand-in-hand with increasing
White populations, while Black
residents and other non-Whites
have been slowly displaced.
When we say neighborhoods,

we mean census tracts, which
typically hold about 3,800 people. We created our tract data by
rolling up even smaller blocklevel estimates to fit 2020 census
tract boundaries, so that we
could compare individual neighborhoods over time — something
that’s not usually possible given
the constantly shifting outlines
of official census tracts.
We chose 80 percent as a
threshold for a mixed-race neighborhood, where non-Whites begin to have a noticeable presence. Although mixed neighborhoods can still have a White majority, our analysis showed that
threshold to be a tipping point
that’s often followed by steady
diversification.
In tracts that first became
mixed in the 2000 and 2010 censuses, non-White population has
continued to grow on average by
double digits since. Neighborhoods that first became mixed in
2010 now average 37 percent
non-White, and those that became mixed in 2000 now tend to
be majority non-White.

pher, said age and race patterns
point to more diversity ahead in
growing neighborhoods.
“Not only are minorities growing faster than Whites in most
parts of the country, but the
younger segment of the population — those who make up most
movers — are exceptionally diverse,” Frey said. “The 2020 Census shows that for the first time,
minorities make up more than
half of the under-age-18 population — which suggests that most
movers in future decades will be
people of color.”

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

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

host
The special education teacher
turned urban lifestyle podcast
and radio host wants people to
know quitting will not make
your work life easier. “I’ve
worked probably 10 to 100 times
harder doing it for myself than I
did as a teacher.”
Kodaq, as he is known professionally, had been preparing to
leave his job at an Atlanta public
elementary school in 2020, before the pandemic hit. But when
stay-at-home orders were issued
in March, it gave him the room to
build out his podcast without
giving up his day job. He lived
frugally, staying with his mom
and cutting back on spending.
By early 2021, Kodaq often
found himself rushing between
his remote classroom and the
recording studio. Juggling the
two became too much. He
cashed out some cryptocurrency
investments at a time prices
were peaking, and quit teaching
that March. Over the next year,
he trawled news and social media for conversation material,
outfitted his studio with better
lighting, met with clients and
linked up with the person who’d
become his co-host.
This past February, the first
ratings arrived for his radio
show. They exceeded expectations, coming in first in the 7
p.m.-to-midnight time slot, beating out more established hiphop stations in his area. To commemorate his winning gamble
and new career, he got his first
tattoo, the word “Legacy,” on his
right forearm.
The entrepreneurial grind has
its own challenges, with days
packed with emails, calls, interviews and recordings. But he
feels more fulfilled now. “What I
want people to know is it’s not
the easier route, but it’s the
better route,” he said. “And none
of this is going to work if you
don’t.”

She said she doesn’t have to worry
about being able to afford her
everyday expenses. And she is now
able to help her parents, who
immigrated to Hawaii from the
Philippines. “I put a down payment on a car for my mom, which
is something I was never able to do
before,” she said.
After leaving her job as a
health-care coach in April 2021,
Arucan attended a 10-week coding
boot camp. She lived off her savings and juggled gig work — driving for Lyft, DoorDash and Instacart — and a nanny job that provided free housing to make ends
meet. Growing up, Arucan devoured travel podcasts and was
especially moved by stories of
women who pursued their dreams
only later in life.
After she quit, she longed for a
steady paycheck. Cobbling together a living through part-time jobs
had put her in survival mode. “I
couldn’t go back to my job, and
there were times that I wish that I
could have because I was so desperate to have money,” Arucan

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

Taylor Reid, 28
Portland, Ore.
Quit date: September 2021
Old job: Compliance officer
New job: Lead copywriter
Reid says her quality of life has
improved tenfold since she quit
last fall. She’s happier now, as a
lead copywriter for an international public relations firm, where
she helps top executives shape
their stories online, works with a
close-knit team and meets new
clients the world over.
“The vibes are immaculate,” she
said.
She’s earning more money and
the work is closer to her own
writerly, intellectual passions. Every day she’s learning something
new.
Reid’s career shift began with a
pursuit for higher pay and greater
stability. Her old job was a strain
on her mental health, with an
unreceptive boss, tedious duties
and a lack of teamwork that felt
isolating. Reid said she has never
been especially frugal, but the
pandemic shutdowns and social
limitations meant forgoing dinners out and travel, allowing her
to save money. That gave her the
flexibility to step away.
But even with a few months’
financial cushion, leaving came
with risk because she didn’t have a
full-time job lined up. She turned
to coaching a girls soccer team at a
local high school. She felt rejuvenated and filled with possibility.
But as the weeks went by, anxiety
set in. She started to question
herself and her abilities, but she
didn’t want to settle for the first
job that came around. “I didn’t
quit my last job just to take a new
job that will make me feel the
same way.”
Eventually a recruiter noticed
her “open to work” status on
LinkedIn and contacted her, helping Reid land her current job. She
had applied to more than 30 positions.
“It took longer than I expected,
but it worked out for the best in
the end,” she said. “It was also a
reminder to never let anyone
make me doubt myself.”

underlying indicator of inflation, pulled back from a
40-year high with a 6.3 percent advance. The data
strengthened wagers on a 50-basis-point Fed hike in
December and on Thursday spurred the largest one-day
stock rally in over two years.
Friday’s University of Michigan survey revealed that
consumers’ short- and long-term expectations increased in
early November. Afterward, Boston Fed President Susan
M. Collins said the central bank has more work to do to
tame inflation but that “the risk of over-tightening has
increased.”
The Treasury will sell 13- and 26-week bills Monday. It
will auction four- and eight-week bills Thursday.

U.S. equities rallied last week as a smaller-than-expected increase in inflation fueled bets that the Federal Reserve
will soon dial back its aggressive monetary tightening.
The S&P 500 index jumped 5.9 percent in the five-day
period for its best week since late June and closed Friday at
3,993. The Nasdaq surged 8.1 percent on the week, and the
Dow Jones industrial average gained 4.1 percent.
Consumer price index data for October rose 7.7 percent
from a year earlier, the smallest annual bump since the
start of the year and well below the 7.9 percent economists
had projected. Core prices, which are regarded as a better

AN ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT TO THE WASHINGTON POST

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

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

Before you’ve spent too much money to
reverse course. Similarly, the employees who will
be tasked with implementing a new initiative or project
will give you the best reality check on its viability. But
you need to involve them in providing project feedback
early enough that you can make changes. A surefire
way to lose credibility is to ask for feedback, receive
valuable input, and then ignore it because it’s too late
to implement for budgetary or timeline reasons.

SAMURAI SUDOKU

. SUNDAY,

NOVEMBER 13 , 2022

(c) www.djape.net
How to Play
The rules of Samurai Sudoku are the same as in the popular
Sudoku puzzles that appear in the daily comics section.
As with standard Sudoku, the Samurai version requires no math,
just logic, reasoning ... and an iron will. The goal is to fill in each
column, row and 3X3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without
repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that
appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles.
A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus completely on
one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because
filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another. What’s
important to understand is this: Each Samurai puzzle is ONE puzzle,
not five separate Sudoku puzzles that just overlap each other.
Occasionally people claim that, for example, the "bottom right" 9X9
puzzle had more than one solution. Well, yes it may, but the entire
puzzle can be solved in only one way. Never resort to guessing! For
more tips, go to http://www.djape.net/sudoku/wp/?p=144.
