Scientists may have found first moon

outside our solar system. It’s a doozy.
Planet the size of Jupiter
seems to have a neighbor
as big as Neptune
BY S ARAH K APLAN
In flickering light of a distant
sun, scientists may have discov-
ered the first moon outside our
solar system.
Writing in the journal Science
Advances, two Columbia Univer-
sity astronomers using the Kepler
and Hubble space telescopes say
they’ve found signs of a large,
gassy “exomoon” orbiting an even
larger exoplanet around a star
8,000 light-years away.
It’s an “extraordinary” find
that “defies easy explanation,”
said co-author Alex Teachey —
nothing like it exists in our own
solar system. He and his col-
league David Kipping are careful
to call their discovery a “candi-
date moon,” noting more studies
are required to confirm its exis-
tence.
But planetary scientist Kip
Hodges, a deputy editor at Sci-
ence Advances who was not in-
volved in the study, called the
Columbia astronomers’ finding
“compelling.”
“If this finding stands up to
further observational scrutiny, it
represents a major milestone in
the field of astronomy,” Hodges
said.
The possible moon was docu-
mented by the Kepler, the power-
house planet-hunting space tele-
scope, when the object cast a
shadow by crossing in front of a
star. Kipping and Teachey discov-
ered it among 300 exoplanets in
Kepler’s catalogue, all producing
predictable dips in starlight that
occur as an orbiting body passes
in front of its sun — a phenom-
enon called a “transit.”
Kepler 1625, an aging sun-like
star in the constellation Cygnus,
is known to host a gassy planet
the size of Jupiter called Kepler
1625b. Yet there were weird sig-
natures in the flicker of this
far-flung star system.
Kipping and Teachey asked for
40 hours of observing time with
the Hubble Space Telescope,
which is four times as precise as
Kepler. The observations had to
be done from space; Earth’s rota-
tion is such that ground-based
telescopes spin away before they
can capture a whole event.
The star’s light faded more
than an hour before the planet
transited. And it remained dim
for a while after it passed. They
determined it wasn’t a result of
activity on the star, and there was
no evidence that another planet
was influencing Kepler 1625b’s
orbit.
Instead, it looked like Kepler
1625b was orbited by another
body the size of Neptune —
roughly four times the diameter
of Earth.
“A moon is an excellent expla-
nation to the data at hand,”
Kipping said. “We are unable to
find any other single hypothesis
that can explain all the data we
have.”

Still, the astronomers were as-
tonished by their discovery. A An illustration shows Kepler-1625b, a planet with a moon that is four times the diameter of Earth.

Chemistry Nobel rewards e≠orts to create new proteins
Three scientists
harnessed the principles
of evolution
BY B EN G UARINO
The 2018 Nobel Prize in chem-
istry was awarded Wednesday to
Frances H. Arnold, George P.
Smith and Gregory P. Winter for
using evolutionary principles to
create new proteins.
Arnold, a professor of chemical
engineering at the California In-
stitute of Technology, won half of
the prize, and Smith, of the Uni-
versity of Missouri, and Winter, of
the MRC Laboratory of Molecular
Biology in Cambridge, England,
shared the other half.
“This year’s prize is about har-
nessing the power of evolution,”
Goran K. Hansson, secretary gen-
eral of the Royal Swedish Acad-
emy of Sciences, told reporters in
Sweden.
The prize winners used evolu-
tionary techniques to create anti-
bodies, biofuels, drugs and other
important biological molecules
in the laboratory. Arnold was the
first person to create new en-
zymes — molecules that speed up
chemical reactions — with a tech-
nique called “directed evolution.”
EPA excluded top science officials when limiting use of studies
Proposal could change
how agency protects

BY S TEVEN M UFSON
AND C HRIS M OONEY
When Environmental Protec-
tion Agency administrator Scott
Pruitt launched an effort to limit
what kinds of scientific studies
could be used to protect public
health, the former chief left out
some key experts: the EPA’s own
Office of the Science Advisor, ac-
cording to an email exchange ob-
tained by The Post.
Tom Sinks, director of the EPA’s
Office of the Science Advisor, said
in an April 24 email that “Even
though OSA and I have not partic-
ipated in the development of this
document and I just this moment
obtained it (have yet to read it), I
am listed as the point of contact.”
Sinks added, accurately, that
“the proposal likely touches upon
three aspects of OSA work — pub-
lic access to EPA funded research,
human subjects research protec-
tion, and scientific integrity” — all
of which fall in his area of respon-
sibility.

The award was for chemistry,
but the research also has wide
applications throughout biology
and engineering. Arnold is one of
the few people to be a member of
the exclusive National Academy
of Sciences, the National Acad-
emy of Medicine and the National
Academy of Engineering.
Organisms evolve through a
process called natural selection.
The most successful living things
pass their traits to their offspring.
The most successful of those off-
spring reproduce and pass their
traits along.
Humans have used evolution’s
mechanisms for our benefit for
millennia. We’ve bred puny fin-
gers of maize into thick corn cobs
and bred wolves to be sheepdogs,
retrievers and bichons frises. The
laureates used chemistry “to ac-
celerate the evolution of natural
biological molecules,” thousands
of times faster than would hap-
pen in the wild, said Peter Dor-
hout, president of the American
Chemical Society and a Kansas
State University chemistry pro-
fessor.
Just as humans bred animals
and plants with the most useful
traits, Arnold selectively bred
bacteria. She introduced random
point mutations in bacteria,
which changed the potency of
their proteins. This, said Claes

broader deregulatory agenda.
“It’s astounding that the EPA
science adviser’s office was left
completely out of the loop during
the development of a major sci-
ence policy proposal,” said Mi-
chael Halpern, deputy director of
the Center for Science and Democ-
racy at the Union of Concerned
Scientists. “Crafting any signifi-
cant proposal behind closed doors
without even bothering to notify
career scientific staff suggests that
it’s much more about politics than
it is about science.”
In a statement, the agency re-
plied that “EPA received input
from a number of stakeholders
and utilized the intra and inter-
agency process to ensure a robust
proposal was put forward.”
The science adviser’s office is
part of the agency’s chief research
branch, the Office of Research and
Development (ORD). But an agen-

Winter In 2011, for
instance, Ar-
nold and her colleagues evolved
Escherichia coli into organisms
capable of producing biofuels.
Her work at Caltech also has led
to synthetic pheromones —
chemical signals — that, when
smelled by pests, scare harmful
bugs away from crops.
In 1985, Smith developed a
method called phage display,
based on a kind of virus known as
a bacteriophage that infects bac-
teria. Those viruses are little more
than loops of genetic material
shrouded in a protein capsule. By
introducing a gene into the
phage, Smith could evolve new
types of proteins on that virus
capsule. Because the phages pro-
duce, or display, proteins on the
outside of their shells, scientists
can easily screen and harvest the
molecules called peptides.
Smith predicted that phage
display of peptides could help
develop new vaccines. His 1997
review paper on the phage dis-
play method has been cited more
information or confidential infor-
mation from patients participat-
ing in private-sector research.
“Contrary to the stated purpose
of the rule, the rule would result in
the exclusion of valid and impor-
tant scientific findings,” Rush D.
Holt, a former congressman and
former physics professor who is
now the chief executive of the
AAAS, said in testimony prepared
for a congressional hearing
Wednesday. He said the rule was
“not about transparency or sound
science” and that the title was an
“insidious dodge.”
Peter Wood, president of the
conservative advocacy group Na-
tional Association of Scholars,
wrote to Pruitt urging the EPA to
“institute a process by which to
rescind existing regulations based
upon irreproducible science.”
The EPA’s proposed regulation
closely resembles the Honest Act,
the subject of a hearing Wednes-
day at a Senate Environment and
Public Works subcommittee. Ed-
ward J. Calabrese, professor at the
University of Massachusetts at
Amherst’s School of Public
Health, hailed the EPA’s “bold and
constructive proposal” in pre-
pared testimony.
One area that could be affected
deals with air pollution regula-
tions that limit levels of fine par-
ticulate matter that can enter the
bloodstream and cause lung and
heart problems. A key study, Har-
vard University’s look at pollution
in six cities, promised subjects
that personal information would
not be shared.
“A study that has been replicat-
ed many times might be excluded
from consideration, while one
that uses an inferior database that
is publicly available would be con-
sidered,” said John Bachmann,
who worked at EPA for 30 years
and helped set pollution regula-
tions.

Toussant, senior vice president of
the American Chemical Society’s
CAS database division.
The big pharmaceutical break-
through with phage display came
in 1990 when Winter and his
colleagues reported that they had
developed a fully functional anti-
body on a bacteriophage.
Antibodies are the molecules
that our immune cells use to
recognize other cells. Winter ap-
plied the phage display technique
to create antibodies that could be
used to treat disease. These anti-

diseases, the academy said. In
2002, the Food and Drug Admin-
istration approved the first
human-antibody-based drug,
adalimumab, sold as a rheuma-
sure could also be affected.
Konkus said in an email that the
proposal “doesn’t even mention
the word ‘radiation.’ ”
But radiation guidelines could
be undermined by limits in the
proposal, experts say. For three
decades, scientists have relied on
something called the linear, no-
threshold model in evaluating the
biological effects of radiation. It is
a way of measuring a full range of
radiation doses against health
outcomes, primarily cancer.
Until now, government regula-
tors have said that even low levels
of radiation can be hazardous and
cause cancer.
Yet the proposal says: “EPA
shall evaluate the appropriate-
ness of using default assumptions,
including assumptions of a linear,
no-threshold dose response, on a
case-by-case basis.”
That pleases Calabrese, an ad-
vocate of hormesis, which says
that low exposure to toxins — or
radiation — can be beneficial. He
said in his prepared testimony
that scrapping linear no-thresh-
old approach was “long overdue.”
Konkus said in an email that
EPA’s policy would be to continue
using the “linear no-threshold”
model for “population-level radia-
tion protection purposes” and
that the proposed regulation
“would not . . . trigger any change
in that policy.”
David J. Brenner, director of the
Center for Radiological Research
at Columbia University Medical
Center, said that “Dr. Calebrese’s
view, that exposure to low levels of
radiation are beneficial to human
health and decrease cancer risk, is
very much an outlier view in our
field, with little or no supporting
data.”

North Korea increases demands ahead of Pompeo visit

Pyongyang pushes U.S.
to ease sanctions to show
it’s serious about talks
BY S IMON D ENYER
tokyo — President Trump may
have fallen “in love” with his
North Korean counterpart, Kim
Jong Un, but Pyongyang wants
Washington to prove its affection
— by lifting sanctions.
As Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo plans to head to Pyong-
yang this weekend to prepare the
ground for a second Trump-Kim
summit, North Korea appears to
have upped its demands, arguing
that the United States should
show that it is serious about
dialogue by easing sanctions, be-
fore North Korea takes steps to
denuclearize.
After a summit between the
leaders of the two Koreas last
month, Kim said he was prepared
to permanently dismantle his
country’s main nuclear site, but
only if the United States took
“corresponding steps” to build
trust.
At the time, it appeared that
meant a declaration to formally
end the 1950-53 Korean War, as a
signal that hostilities between the
two countries were over. But dur-
ing the past few days, Pyongyang
has signaled that it may want
more than that to move forward.
A declaration to end the war
should have come half a century
ago, after the warring parties
signed an armistice agreement,
the Korean Central News Agency
wrote in a commentary on Tues-
day. “It can never be a bargaining
chip for getting the DPRK denu-
clearized.”
North Korea refers to itself as
the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea (DPRK).
By contrast, the Yongbyon fa-
cility is a “core” part of the coun-
try’s nuclear program, KCNA ar-
gued. It is the site of the country’s
only nuclear reactor, producing
plutonium that can be used in
nuclear weapons, but also is be-
lieved to house a separate urani-
um enrichment facility.
North Korean Foreign Minis-
ter Ri Yong Ho delivered a simi-
larly combative message at the
U.N. General Assembly on Satur-
day.
“The perception that sanctions
can bring us on our knees is a pipe
dream of those who are ignorant
about us,” he said. “But the prob-
lem is that the continued sanc-
tions are deepening our mis-
trust.”
He added: “Without any trust
in the U.S., there will be no confi-
dence in our national security,
and under such circumstances
there is no way we will unilateral-
ly disarm ourselves first.”
Rodong Sinmun, the official
newspaper of the Workers’ Party
of Korea, underlined the point in
an editorial Sunday.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, left, and South Korean President Moon Jae-in visit Mount Paektu
on Sept. 20 in this image released by the state-run North Korean news agency.
“Sanctions and dialogue can
never go together,” it said. “It is a
contradiction that the U.S. is talk-
ing about the dialogue with its
partner while ratcheting up sanc-
tions and pressure on it. The U.S.
should squarely see the trend of
the times and make a proper
choice.”
The United States argues that
the sanctions should remain in
place until North Korea has fully
and verifiably denuclearized.
KOREAN CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY VIA KNS/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES
Vipin Narang, an associate
professor of political science at
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, said the comments
“really [put] a little bit of cold
water” on the hope that North
Korea might provide a list of its
nuclear and missile sites in re-
turn for an end-of-war declara-
tion.
To build trust, North Korea
appears to want “a transforma-
tion of the relationship, and the
first step of that would have to be
comprehensive sanctions relief,”
he said.
Experts say Pyongyang is not
ready to offer a comprehensive
list of its nuclear facilities, believ-
ing this would either be disbe-
lieved or give the United States a
list of future military targets.
Instead, it wants to take things
at its own pace, offering up Yong-
byon as part of a phased process
in which both sides take steps to
build trust.
Experts differ about North Ko-
rea’s sincerity: Some, like Narang,
say it has no real interest in
disarmament and is just milking
the process for whatever benefits
it can get.
Others say Pyongyang may be
prepared to reduce — but not
eliminate — its nuclear stockpile
and missile capability, in return
for economic benefits and secu-
rity guarantees from Washington.
South Korea’s presidential
Blue House has been arguing for
an end-of-war declaration and
predicts that such a declaration
could come after Trump and Kim
meet again.
A senior Blue House official,
speaking on the condition of ano-
nymity to discuss sensitive issues,
told reporters Wednesday that
Seoul had initially thought that a
Trump-Kim summit might hap-
pen after the U.S. midterm elec-
tions on Nov. 6, but the fact that
Pompeo is visiting Pyongyang
sooner than expected “sends a
positive signal” that it might take
place earlier.
At a campaign rally Saturday,
Trump said he and Kim “fell in
love,” adding, “He wrote me beau-
tiful letters.”
Pompeo, on his fifth visit to
Pyongyang this year, is expected
to meet Kim on Sunday, which
experts said would be a positive
sign. He begins his trip in Tokyo
and will also visit Seoul and Bei-
jing.

South Korea reveals plan to break stalemate in talks between U.S., North
Seoul wants Washington
to hold off on its demand
for inventory of weapons
BY J OHN H UDSON
South Korea is proposing that
the United States hold off on a
demand for an inventory of North
Korea’s nuclear weapons and ac-
cept the verified closure of a key
North Korean nuclear facility as a
next step in the negotiations,
Seoul’s top diplomat said in an
interview with The Washington
Post.
The plan is designed to break
the impasse between North Ko-
rea and the United States as Presi-
dent Trump comes under mount-
ing pressure to demonstrate
progress on the denuclearization
talks. It will be one of the options
available to Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo as he arrives in
North Korea on Sunday to restart
negotiations.
In exchange for the verified
dismantlement of the Yongbyon
nuclear facility, the United States
would declare an end to the Ko-
rean War, a key demand of Pyong-
yang that U.S. officials have been
reluctant to make absent a major
concession by North Korea.
“What North Korea has indi-
cated is they will permanently
dismantle their nuclear facilities
in Yongbyon, which is a very big
administration after Pyongyang
handed over thousands of pages
of documents on its main plutoni-
um-related facilities in 2008.
“The past experience shows
that the list and the verification
about the list takes a lot of back-
and-forth, and I think the last
time things broke down precisely
as we were working out a detailed
protocol on verification after we
had gotten the list. . . . We want to
take a different approach,” she
said.
Stressing the importance of
stopping the further production
of nuclear materials at the Yong-
byon facility, she added: “We will

discuss the sensitive negotia-
tions.
Kang downplayed concerns
about the declaration, emphasiz-
ing that it would be a purely
“political” document and “not a
legally binding treaty.”
Trump, according to diplomats
familiar with the negotiations, is
open to signing the declaration
and may not be bothered by ensu-
ing demands about U.S. forces
given his long-standing com-
plaint that the United States pays
far too much to station troops in
East Asia.
Analysts briefed on South Ko-
rea’s proposal offered mixed as-
sessments.
“If the Yongbyon shutdown
proves to be the first bite of the
apple, it might be an okay starting
point, but if it proves to be the
only bite of the apple, it will be
deeply unsatisfying — and totally
reversible,” said Scott Snyder, a
Korea expert at the Council on
Foreign Relations.
Duyeon Kim, a Korea expert
with the Center for a New Ameri-
can Security, said the closure of
Yongbyon would be a “welcome”
and “tangible” step but noted that
North Korea would still be able to
expand its nuclear arsenal and
fissile material production at co-
vert facilities elsewhere in the
country.
“It’s unrealistic to expect a
comprehensive, completely accu-
rate list from the get-go, but the
administration should still insist
that Pyongyang at least disclose
all fuel-cycle-related facilities
anywhere in the country,” she
said.
On Tuesday, State Department
spokeswoman Heather Nauert
said Pompeo would arrive in
North Korea on Sunday but gave
few details about the status of the
negotiations. “Obviously these
conversations are going in the
right direction and we feel confi-
dent enough to hop on a plane to
head there to continue the con-
versations,” she said.
Kang, South Korea’s first fe-
male foreign minister, is trying to
build momentum behind the
U.S.-North Korea talks despite
international skepticism that
Kim is willing to surrender his
nuclear arsenal.
In the process, she and South
Korean President Moon Jae-in
have fended off allegations of
naivete from Japanese and Amer-
ican counterparts who say their
belief in dialogue blinds them to
Kim’s deceptive nature.
Kang said her government has
no illusions about the nature of
the Kim dynasty, a fact that
guides her thinking on negotiat-
ing tactics.
“We know North Korea better
than any party in this process,”
she said. “We are as keen and
perhaps as committed as anybody
on getting to complete denuclear-
ization. . . . Naivete is certainly
not something that would charac-
terize my government’s approach
to North Korea.”

Climate scientists are struggling to find the right words for very bad news
U.N. panel must tell
countries if they are
living up to Paris pact
BY C HRIS M OONEY
AND B RADY D ENNIS
In Incheon, South Korea, this
week, about 50 scientists and
representatives of more than 130
countries have packed into a
large conference center going
over every line of an all-impor-
tant report: What chance does
the planet have of keeping cli-
mate change to a moderate, con-
trollable level?
When they can’t agree, they
form “contact groups” outside the
hall, trying to strike an agree-
ment and move the process
along. They are trying to reach
consensus on what it would mean
— and what it would take — to
limit the warming of the planet to
just 1.5 degrees Celsius, or 2.7
degrees Fahrenheit, when 1 de-
gree Celsius has already occurred
and greenhouse gas emissions
remain at record highs.
“It’s the biggest peer-review
exercise there is,” said Jonathan
Lynn, head of communications
for the United Nations’ Intergov-
ernmental Panel on Climate
Change. “It involves hundreds or
even thousands of people looking
at it.”
The IPCC, the world’s defini-
tive scientific body when it comes
to climate change, was awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize a decade
ago and has been given what may
rank as its hardest task yet.
It must not only tell govern-
ments what we know about cli-
mate change — but how close
they have brought us to the edge.
And by implication, how much
those governments are failing to
live up to their goals for the
planet, set in the 2015 Paris cli-
mate agreement.
The most stringent and ambi-
tious goal in that agreement, 1.5
degrees was originally put there
at the behest of small island
nations and other highly vulner-
able countries. But it is increas-
ingly being regarded by all as a
key guardrail, as severe climate
change effects have been felt in
just the past five years — raising
concerns about what a little bit
more warming would bring.
“Half a degree doesn’t sound
like much til you put it in the
right context,” said Durwood
Zaelke, president of the Institute
for Governance & Sustainable
Development. “It’s 50 percent
more than we have now.”
The idea of letting warming
approach 2 degrees Celsius in-
creasingly seems disastrous in
this context.
Parts of the planet, such as the
Arctic, have already warmed be-
yond 1.5 degrees and are seeing
alarming changes. Antarctica
and Greenland, containing many
feet of sea-level rise, are wob-
bling. Major die-offs have hit
coral reefs around the globe, sug-
gesting that an irreplaceable
planetary feature could soon be
lost.
It is universally recognized
that the pledges made in Paris
would lead to a warming far
beyond 1.5 degrees — more like
2.5 or 3 degrees Celsius, or even
more. And that was before the
United States, the world’s second-
largest emitter, decided to try to
back out.
“The pledges countries made
“The pledges countries made during the Paris
climate accord don’t get us anywhere close
to what we have to do.”
Drew Shindell, Duke University climate expert and an author of
the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report
during the Paris climate accord
don’t get us anywhere close to
what we have to do,” said Drew
Shindell, a climate expert at Duke
University and one of the authors
of the IPCC report. “They haven’t
really followed through with ac-
tions to reduce their emissions in
any way commensurate with
what they profess to be aiming
for.”
The new 1.5C report will feed
into a process called the “Talanoa
Dialogue,” in which parties to the
Paris agreement begin to consid-
er the large gap between what
they say they want to achieve and
what they are actually doing. The
dialogue will unfold in December
at an annual United Nations cli-
mate meeting in Katowice, Po-
land.
But it is unclear what concrete
commitments may result.
At issue is what scientists call
the “carbon budget”: Because car-
bon dioxide lives in the atmos-
phere for so long, there’s only a
limited amount that can be emit-
ted before it becomes impossible
to avoid a given temperature, like
1.5 degrees Celsius. Since the
world emits about 41 billion tons
of carbon dioxide per year, if the
remaining budget is 410 billion
tons (for example), then scien-
tists can say we have 10 years
until the budget is gone and 1.5C
is locked in.
Unless emissions start to de-
cline — which gives more time.
This is why scenarios for holding
warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius
require rapid and deep changes
to how we get energy.
The window may now be as
narrow as about 15 years of cur-
rent emissions, but since we don’t
know for sure, according to the
researchers, that really depends
on how much of a margin of error
we’re willing to give ourselves.
And if we can’t cut other gases
— such as methane — or if the
Arctic permafrost starts emitting
large volumes of additional gases,
then the budget gets even nar-
rower.
“It would be an enormous chal-
lenge to keep warming below a
threshold” of 1.5 degrees Celsius,
Shindell said, bluntly. “This
would be a really enormous lift.”
So enormous, he said, that it
would require a monumental
shift toward decarbonization. By
2030 — barely a decade away —
the world’s emissions would need
to drop by about 40 percent. By
the middle of the century, societ-
ies would need to have zero net
emissions. What might that look
like? In part, it would include
things such as no more gas-pow-
ered vehicles, a phaseout of coal-
fired power plants and airplanes
running on biofuels, he said.
“It’s a drastic change,” he said.
“These are huge, huge shifts. . . .
This would really be an unprec-
edented rate and magnitude of
change.”
And that’s just the point — 1.5
degrees is still possible, but only
if the world goes through a stag-
gering transformation.
An early draft (leaked and
published by the website Climate
Home News) suggests that future
scenarios of a 1.5C warming limit
would require the massive de-
ployment of technologies to re-
move carbon dioxide from the air
and bury it below the ground.
Such technologies do not exist at
anything close to the scale that
would be required.
“There are now very small
number of pathways [to 1.5C]
that don’t involve carbon remov-
al,” said Jim Skea, chair of the
IPCC’s Working Group III and a
professor at Imperial College
London.
It’s not clear how scientists can
best give the world’s govern-
ments this message — or to what
extent governments are up for
hearing it.
An early leaked draft of the
report said there was a “very high
risk” that the world would warm
more than 1.5 degrees. But a later
draft, also leaked to Climate
Home News, appeared to back
off, instead saying that “there is
no simple answer to the question
of whether it is feasible to limit
warming to 1.5C . . . . Feasibility
has multiple dimensions that
need to be considered simulta-
neously and systematically."
None of this language is final.
That’s what this week in Incheon
— intended to get the report
ready for an official release on
Monday — is all about.
“I think many people would be
happy if we were further along
than we are,” the IPCC’s Lynn said
Wednesday in Incheon. “But in all
the approval sessions that I’ve
seen, I’ve seen five of them now,
that has always been the case. It
sort of gets there in the end.”

Stances on Obamacare now haunt some GOP candidates
HEALTH CARE FROM A1
cans in key races scrambling to
square their opposition to the
health-care overhaul with voters’
strong support for one of its most
popular provisions.
In Ohio and Michigan, candi-
dates for governor are being
forced to answer for their anti-
Obamacare moves as attorneys
general. In other states, Republi-
cans are trying to tailor new re-
sponses to voters questioning
their intentions. President Trump,
who has long pushed for the re-
peal of Obamacare, has begun de-
fending coverage of preexisting
conditions, although like most of
the Republicans, he has not been
specific about how he would make
that happen.
Denny Enloe, an independent
voter, who listened last week to
Hawley’s campaign remarks, said
he agrees with Hawley on issues
like guns, abortion and promoting
work over welfare. But he was
skeptical of Hawley’s support for
coverage of preexisting condi-
tions, noting the federal lawsuit to
dismantle the health-care law.
The suit argues that the law —
which expanded health insurance
to millions of low-income Ameri-
cans but also included a contro-
versial mandate that nearly every-
one purchase insurance — is no
longer constitutional because
Congress last year repealed a tax
penalty for those forgoing insur-
ance. Hawley said Monday that he
does not regret joining the lawsuit
and said preexisting conditions
can be protected in ways apart
from the health-care law.
“How are you going to tell me
you’re going to fix it when you’re
on a lawsuit to invalidate the Af-
fordable Care Act?” said Enloe,
who has end-stage chronic ob-
structive pulmonary disease, and
watched Hawley’s Facebook video
from his living-room couch in the
conservative, rural and working-
class town of Union.
Democrats have launched a
barrage of ads attacking Republi-
cans on the issue, a reflection of
the strong voter sentiment in fa-
vor of preexisting condition cover-
age and the issue’s rise in impor-
tance this election year.

In testy times for Senate, bipartisan votes mix with bitter personal attacks
The Senate took on

PAUL KANE image throughout
Wednesday — one
side showing what
bipartisan efforts can achieve and
the other dominated by the sort of
personal-character attacks that
are well outside the bounds of
even today’s partisan standards.
Senate Minority Leader Charles
E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) took to the
floor in the morning and after
suggesting he and Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) “get
along,” launched into a broadside
against McConnell’s stewardship
of the Senate. He essentially
accused him of lying about the
Supreme Court confirmation
process for Judge Brett M.
Kavanaugh.
“That cannot hold me back
from responding to the blatant
falsehoods he tells day after day
after day on this floor,” Schumer
said, before shouting: “Give me a
break.”
Yet less than two hours later, on
a sweeping 93-to-6 vote, the
Senate approved a bill to rewrite
Soon-to-end probe of Kavanaugh appears to remain curtailed in its scope
BY M ATT Z APOTOSKY,
R OBERT O ’ H ARROW J R.,
T OM H AMBURGER
AND D EVLIN B ARRETT
The FBI background check of
Brett M. Kavanaugh appeared to
remain curtailed in its scope
Wednesday even as agents neared
the end of their work, opening up
the possibility that the bureau
would again face criticism over
what some will view as a lackluster
investigation.
Though complete details of the
FBI’s findings had yet to be re-
leased Wednesday evening, the
bureau’s inquiry seems to have
focused mostly on an allegation by
a California professor who claims
Kavanaugh assaulted her decades
ago at a party in Maryland, when
both were high school students.
The Washington Post has been
able to confirm interviews with
only six witnesses, five of whom
have a connection to the professor
or her allegation.
The investigation was always
unlikely to answer definitively
whether Kavanaugh was guilty of
sexual misconduct decades ago.
But the probe’s limited scope —
which was dictated by the White
House, along with a Friday dead-
Cort VanOstran, center, talks to a voter last month in the St. Louis suburb of Glendale, Mo. The
Democrat is making coverage of preexisting conditions a central issue in his campaign for Congress.
say it is “very important” that pro-
tections for people with preexist-
ing conditions remain law, accord-
ing to the most recent Kaiser Fam-
ily Foundation poll released in
September. A July Kaiser poll
found that a candidate’s position
on preexisting conditions to be the
top health-care issue for voters,
especially among Democrats, in-
dependents and those living in
battleground areas. Half of Re-
publicans said it was either the
most important factor or a very
important factor in their vote.
“Preexisting conditions is the
ideal issue for Democrats in red
states or purple states who are
trying to reach independents,”
said Drew Altman, president and
chief executive of the Henry J.
Kaiser Family Foundation, a non-
partisan nonprofit headquartered
in San Francisco. “It’s a third-rail
issue that’s incredibly resonant
with the public.”
In Ohio, Republican gubernato-
rial candidate Mike DeWine, who
as state attorney general had chal-
lenged the constitutionality of the
ACA in court, notably has not
joined Hawley and the coalition of
Republican governors and attor-
neys general in 20 states on the
lawsuit.

Republican overseeing the
legislation even heaped praise on
the ranking Democrat, Sen. Bill
Nelson (Fla.), who faces a tough
reelection fight in November.
“We can still come together and
get things done for the American
people,” said Sen. John Thune (R-
S.D.), chairman of the Commerce
Committee.
Then the two sides broke into
competing camps for closed-door
lunches, exiting from the partisan
affairs sniping at one another over
how Republicans are treating
women who have accused
Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.
An hour later, the Senate gave
final approval to the most
aggressive federal effort to combat
the spread of opioid addiction,
another bill sent to President
Trump’s desk with a bipartisan
vote of 98 to 1.
It’s been an extraordinary few
weeks inside an institution that
senators love to call the world’s
greatest deliberative body, as the
Kavanaugh hearings and follow-
up investigations have set the
line — is likely to exacerbate the
partisan tensions surrounding
Kavanaugh’s nomination.
Even before the probe had end-
ed, several people who claimed to
have information that could be
useful said they ended up mired in
bureaucracy when they tried to
get in touch with the FBI. Demo-
crats also cried foul over what they
saw as inappropriate parameters
that the White House seemed to be
imposing on the bureau.
The White House and the FBI
have treated each other warily
throughout the process, people fa-
miliar with the matter said. Both
sides were mindful that their writ-
ten communications might one
day be subject to subpoena, partic-
ularly if Democrats take control of
the House of Representatives in
next month’s midterm elections,
the people said.
President Trump has insisted
publicly he was not curtailing the
FBI probe. But privately, the White
House restricted the FBI from
delving deeply into Kavanaugh’s
youthful drinking and exploring
whether he had lied to Congress
about his alcohol use, according to
officials who spoke on the condi-
tion of anonymity to discuss a
sensitive matter.

DeWine said during a Septem-
ber debate with Democratic can-
didate Richard Cordray that he’s
“always been for the coverage of
preexisting illnesses.” Yet he has
not signed on with Democrats to
save the mandate that preexisting
conditions remain covered.
Michigan Attorney General Bill
Schuette, a Republican running
for governor, is straddling a simi-
lar line and has not picked a side in
the federal lawsuit, even as the
Democratic Governors Associa-
tion released an ad saying he
would deny health coverage to
Michiganders with lymphoma,
cerebral palsy, asthma and multi-
ple sclerosis. Schuette has dis-
missed such suggestions as a
“scare tactic” but has not said pre-
cisely how he would protect such
patients.
In August, Senate Republicans
up for reelection — Dean Heller in
Nevada, Roger Wicker in Missis-
sippi and John Barrasso in Wyo-
ming — introduced a bill to re-
quire insurers to continue selling
plans to people with preexisting
conditions should Republicans
prevail in the lawsuit. But health
policy analysts have said the legis-
lation does not prevent insurers
from excluding specific health
Senate on a hair-trigger.
The tension had been building
for weeks as Democrats fought to
defeat Kavanaugh’s nomination.
But it peaked during two days of
Judiciary Committee meetings
last week, beginning with
Kavanaugh and his main accuser,
Christine Blasey Ford, testifying
Thursday about her allegation
that he sexually assaulted her
when the two were in high school.
The next day, as the committee
advanced his nomination to the
full Senate, the caustic
atmosphere went into an
anteroom as Republicans and
Democrats jousted about the
allegations. Sens. Jeff Flake (R-
Ariz.) and Christopher A. Coons
(D-Del.) negotiated what they
hoped would be a cease-fire,
delaying any vote in the full Senate
until the FBI could complete a
one-week review of “credible”
allegations against Kavanaugh.
But rather than leading to a
cooling-off week, the two sides
have spent the extra time jousting
with one another, particularly
whenever they appeared before
Some of those involved in the
case complained that the bureau
did not follow leads that were
offered to it.
The FBI, for example, inter-
viewed Deborah Ramirez, who ac-
cused Kavanaugh of exposing his
penis to her at a gathering when
both were college students at Yale,
and Ramirez’s team provided
agents with more than 20 people
who might have information rel-
evant to her claims. But as of
Wednesday, Ramirez’s team had
no indication that the bureau had
interviewed any of them.
The FBI also did not interview
Christine Blasey Ford, her legal
team said. Ford is the California
professor whose public testimony
about a high school gathering at
which she said Kavanaugh forced
her onto a bed and groped her
helped spark the background
check in the first place. The legal
team said Ford was willing to turn
over to the bureau notes from
therapy sessions in which she de-
scribed the assault.
Instead, the bureau inter-
viewed three people who Ford said
attended the party: Mark Judge,
Patrick Smyth and Leland Keyser.
The FBI also talked to two other
friends of Kavanaugh’s who were

conditions from coverage.
Republican Senate candidates
in Florida, North Dakota and
Montana also have penned op-eds
and released statements pledging
to protect treatment of preexist-
ing conditions.
Republican strategist Doug
Heye said candidates need to spell
out how exactly they will do so.
“One of the criticisms Republi-
cans have gotten the last two cy-
cles is only talking about what
we’re against, not what we’re for,”
said Heye, former spokesman for
the Republican National Commit-
tee. “This issue is picking up
throughout the country, and it be-
hooves Republicans to demon-
strate some kind of plan for what
they will actually do.”
Policy analysts say it would be
financially unrealistic to force in-
surers to cover preexisting condi-
tions without mandating that ev-
eryone, including healthy people,
buy insurance. That was the argu-
ment Democrats made in approv-
ing the mandate.
Nationally, more than a quarter
of working-age adults have health
conditions that could have left
them uninsurable before the ACA,
according to Kaiser.

Neely Kennedy (R-La.), a quirky
Cajun known for his colorful
sayings, questioned whether some
Democrats skipped breast feeding
as children and went straight to
“raw meat.”
Senators with bipartisan
reputations were, like the Senate
itself, divided on whether lasting
damage had been done during the
Kavanaugh wars.
“I actually felt, before last week,
that we were moving toward a
place of more bipartisanship and
working together, getting things
done,” said Sen. Angus King (I-
Maine), who caucuses with
Democrats and applauded
Wednesday’s two big bipartisan
votes. “But I have to say what
happened last week sort of
strained the atmosphere, in terms
of relationships. And I just hope
we can get by that.”

who sometimes has fought with
Trump, recalled the “very toxic”
days five years ago just after
Democrats unilaterally changed
rules on presidential nominations.
listed as attending a gathering
during the same summer that
Ford alleged she was assaulted:
Chris Garrett, who went out with
Ford for a time, and Tim Gaudette.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.),
the ranking Democrat on the Judi-
ciary Committee, said that agents
also had apparently not talked to
Kavanaugh himself.
“The White House confirma-
tion that it will not allow the FBI to
interview Dr. Blasey Ford, Judge
Kavanaugh or witnesses identi-
fied by Deborah Ramirez raises
serious concerns that this is not a
credible investigation,” she said in
a statement.
The FBI similarly had not — at
least as of Wednesday — inter-
viewed Julie Swetnick, who said in
a declaration that Kavanaugh was
physically abusive toward girls in
high school and was present at a
house party in 1982 where she says
she was the victim of a “gang”
rape. But the bureau did ask
Judge, who was named in the affi-
davit, about her claims.

ground checks for the White
House to tell the bureau what to
do. Background checks, unlike

nearly a third of non-elderly resi-

could have resulted in insurance
denial, according to Kaiser — Mc-
Caskill has taken to asking voters
who attend her town halls to stand
if they have a preexisting condi-
tion. The first time she did it dur-
ing a state Democratic fundrais-
ing dinner in June, few in the
ballroom remained in their seats.
McCaskill, whose campaign is
highlighting the stories of voters
with preexisting conditions, has
attacked Hawley for signing on to
the lawsuit.
“Josh Hawley’s lawsuit will take
away every protection that Mis-
sourians have against overreach
by insurance companies, includ-
ing preexisting conditions,” Mc-
Caskill said in a September de-
bate. “He wants the whole thing
thrown out, and he knows there is
nothing there to back it up.”
President Trump, who won
Missouri by more than 18 points in
2016, said in September while
stumping for Hawley in Spring-
field that he and Hawley “will al-
ways protect preexisting condi-
tions.” The president, whose ad-
ministration argued in a court
brief filed in June that ACA protec-
tions for preexisting conditions
should be ruled unconstitutional,
did not say how.
As health-care worries contin-
ue to percolate through the con-
servative suburban enclaves sur-
rounding St. Louis, a Democratic
challenger in the state’s 2nd Con-
gressional District is reaping the
reward.
When Cort VanOstran can-
vassed a leafy neighborhood in
upper-middle-class Glendale last
week in his increasingly competi-
tive bid to unseat three-term Re-
publican Rep. Ann Wagner, sev-
eral conservative-leaning inde-
pendent and Republican voters
said they would consider backing
a Democrat because of the issue.
“You can’t go into a booth blind
and say I’m going all Republican,”
said Ken Clarke, a 72-year-old Re-
publican who voted for Trump and
Wagner in 2016. His daughter-in-
law has multiple sclerosis, and in
recent years, he said, he has begun
to support the concept of univer-

“After about 60 days, everything
just kind of, you know, got back to
normal. So I don’t really worry
about the Senate so much,” Corker
said.
The battle is set to last through
this weekend, at which point
McConnell hopes to win at least
the minimum 50 votes necessary
to confirm Kavanaugh.
The conflagration over
Kavanaugh, combining
Democratic unrest with Trump
and the continued strength of
the #MeToo movement,
bulldozed into a Senate where
Schumer and McConnell were
trying to take small steps toward
reshaping it into a place where
deals get cut.
The aviation and opioid bills
were the latest examples, along
with last month’s 93-to-7 vote for a
bill that funded the departments
of Defense and Labor, and other
government agencies.
The two Senate leaders have
occasionally used “my friend”
toward each other as if they meant
it, having begun the year with
Schumer delivering a speech to
so that officials might have more
information on people they want
to nominate for critical govern-
ment jobs.
The background check for Ka-
vanaugh, though, was anything
but ordinary. Witness interviews
were disclosed in near real time,
along with complaints that the
bureau was not doing enough. The
high-profile nature of the matter
spurred many who felt they had
information to offer the FBI to
reach out proactively.
Richard Oh, an emergency
room physician who lived in Ka-
vanaugh’s first-year residence
hall, said he contacted the FBI
office in Denver to describe over-
hearing someone tearfully telling
another student about an incident
when Kavanaugh was a student at
Yale. The incident, which Oh de-
scribed to the New Yorker, in-
volved a fake penis and a male
student exposing himself.
Oh said he was put on hold and
waited so long that he eventually
submitted information through
the FBI website.
“So far I haven’t heard back,” Oh
said Tuesday. Wednesday night, he
said that was still the case.

ance for everyone — like Canada,”
Clarke said. “Social medicine has
got to be the future.”
Walking door to door, Van-
Ostran, a 30-year-old lawyer, high-
lighted Wagner’s 2017 vote to re-
peal the ACA.
“When she made that vote, I felt
like it was a vote against me and
my family,” VanOstran told Sherry
Ingram, a 63-year-old grandmoth-
er who retired from her job as a
Monsanto accounts manager.
Wagner’s vote, he said, prompt-
ed him to run for office. His moth-
er, who died of breast cancer two
years ago, had health coverage
through a plan sold under the ACA
in the final years of her life, Van-
Ostran said.
“I really think that most Repub-
licans don’t want people with pre-
existing conditions to lose their
care,” Ingram said, stepping onto
the porch as her daughter’s
goldendoodle peered through the
glass door.
Wagner last year co-sponsored
a House Republican bill to offer
insurance to patients with preex-
isting conditions. But health ana-
lysts say the legislation does not
bar insurers from charging higher
rates based on health factors.
Ingram, an independent voter
who considers herself conserva-
tive on economic issues but liberal
on social issues, said she has yet to
settle on either a House or Senate
candidate and is open to the Dem-
ocratic and Republican nominees
in both races.
“It’s very important to make
sure preexisting conditions are
taken care of fairly,” Ingram said.
Hawley, too, faces questions
from voters who typically would
be open to siding with a Republi-
can.
“Can you tell me your plan to fix
health care?” Peggy Vangorder,
who described herself as an inde-
pendent who often votes Republi-
can, typed on Hawley’s Facebook
page after watching his 8-minute
speech outlining the stakes of next
month’s election.

sick,” another woman wrote, urg-
ing him to clarify by getting “some
ads out letting people know you do
support preexisting conditions.”

McConnell established at his alma

But on Wednesday morning
that goodwill was gone, at least for
a few minutes.
“I think it’s safe to say the
national spectacle the professional

Kavanaugh’s confirmation process
has now reached some kind of
fever pitch,” McConnell said.
He accused Schumer of
supporting an “intimidation
campaign” against Republicans
and Kavanaugh, leading to “a
mudslide of wild, uncorroborated
accusations . . . each more
outlandish than the last.”
Then, in a whiplash capturing
the week, McConnell discussed a
“completely different matter,”
heaping praise on senators from
both sides of the aisle for the two
pieces of legislation winning
approval. He said more than 70
senators had contributed to the
opioid bill.
“More help is on the way,” he
predicted.

Abramson said that when the

ferred him to a field office, which
said it would pass his information
on. “I have not heard from them
yet, but I am hopeful that they will
still contact me,” Abramson said in
an email to The Post.
Kerry Berchem, who attended
Yale a year after Kavanaugh, said
she contacted the FBI about text
messages she received from a
close friend of Kavanaugh’s —
messages that she believes suggest
Kavanaugh or his friends might
have been trying to preemptively
rebut negative stories that could
surface during his confirmation
process. Berchem said agents
could determine nothing untow-

tration at not being interviewed.

We make prescription opioids.

And we want to limit their use.

For more than 25 years, Purdue Pharma has developed opioid medications.
While opioid analgesics may help patients with acute and chronic pain when
other treatment options are inadequate, earlier this year we decided that
our sales representatives will no longer promote opioids to prescribers.

We are acutely aware of the public health risks opioid analgesics can create,
even when taken as prescribed. And we are deeply concerned about the toll
the opioid crisis is having on individuals and communities across the nation,
and as a company now led by a physician, we believe the country needs a
new approach to prescribing opioids.

This approach includes supporting patient access to multi-modal

pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment options; ensuring opioids
are only used when alternative treatment options are inadequate; and
adopting public policies aimed at reducing addiction, abuse, diversion, and
overdose related to opioids.

To help limit a patient’s unnecessary exposure to opioids and reduce the

number of unused opioids that might end up in the wrong hands, we support
initiatives to limit initial opioid prescriptions to no more than seven days.

To help reduce prescription drug abuse and diversion, we advocate that

prescribers and pharmacists consult state Prescription Drug Monitoring
Program (PDMP) databases before writing or dispensing any opioid
prescription. Studies suggest that PDMPs can help reduce the number
of prescriptions written for opioids and that PDMP use is associated
with a reduction in pain medications received for nonmedical use from
multiple doctors.1,2

To support communities that have been affected by the crisis, we’ve

provided funding to the National Sheriffs’ Association to help law
enforcement distribute the overdose rescue drug naloxone. In addition,
we’re helping to bring prescription abuse prevention education to high
school students across the country.

America’s opioid crisis is the result of multiple factors. We believe that all
stakeholders — healthcare leaders, drug manufacturers, policymakers,
and public health officials — need to come together to drive meaningful
solutions forward. While no single intervention alone will solve this crisis,
partnerships, determination, and innovative approaches are steps in the
right direction.

past FBI background checks of
Kavanaugh include evidence of in-
appropriate behavior, without dis-
closing specifics.
The letter, signed by eight of the
10 Democrats on the Judiciary
Committee, challenged the accu-
racy of a tweet from the commit-
tee’s Republican staff on Tuesday
that said: “Nowhere in any of these
six FBI reports, which the commit-
tee has reviewed on a bipartisan
basis, was there ever a whiff of
ANY issue — at all — related in any
way to inappropriate sexual be-
havior or alcohol abuse.”
The Democrats said the infor-
mation in the tweet is “not accu-
rate,” urging the GOP to correct it.
“It is troubling that the commit-
tee majority has characterized in-
formation from Judge Ka-
vanaugh’s confidential back-
ground investigation on Twitter,
as that information is confidential
and not subject to public release,”
the Democrats, led by Sen. Rich-
ard J. Durbin (Ill.), wrote to Grass-
ley. “If the committee majority is
going to violate that confidential-
ity and characterize this back-
ground investigation publicly, you
must at least be honest about it.”
The two committee Democrats
who did not sign the letter were
Sens. Christopher A. Coons (Del.)
and Amy Klobuchar (Minn.).
Grassley’s staff responded on
Twitter that “nothing in the tweet
is inaccurate or misleading.”
“The committee stands by its
statement, which is completely
truthful,” the committee Republi-
cans said. “More baseless innuen-
do and more false smears from
Senate Democrats.”
Once the FBI report is sent to
the Hill, it will be available at a
sensitive compartmented infor-
mation facility, or SCIF, in the
Capitol Visitor Center, a secure
room designed for senators to re-
view sensitive or classified materi-
al, two Senate officials said. Just
one physical copy of the report will
be available, and only to senators

to view the material.
The two parties will take turns
having access to the FBI report in
shifts, according to a senior Senate
official. For example, Republicans
will spend an hour with the report
from 8 a.m. until 9 a.m. Thursday,
then Democrats will have an hour
with the report. It will rotate
throughout the rest of the day
Thursday and potentially into Fri-
day, with senators being briefed by
staff members simultaneously.
But even before the report was
formally sent to the Senate, law-
yers for Christine Blasey Ford —
the first woman to accuse Ka-
vanaugh of sexual assault — criti-
cized what they viewed as an in-
complete FBI probe.
“An FBI supplemental back-
ground investigation that did not
include an interview of Dr. Chris-
tine Blasey Ford — nor the wit-
nesses who corroborate her testi-
mony — cannot be called an inves-
tigation,” her legal team said in a
statement. “We are profoundly
disappointed that after the tre-
mendous sacrifice she made in
coming forward, those directing
the FBI investigation were not in-
terested in seeking the truth.”
Earlier Wednesday, a trio of Re-
publican senators crucial to Ka-
vanaugh’s confirmation prospects
criticized President Trump for
mocking the account of a woman
who has accused his Supreme
Court nominee of sexual assault
decades ago.
In separate interviews, Sens.
Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Susan Collins
(Maine) and Lisa Murkowski
(Alaska) — considered swing votes
on Kavanaugh — took issue with
comments the president made the
night before at a political rally in
Mississippi that drew laughs from
his supporters.
“There’s no time and no place
for remarks like that,” Flake said
on NBC’s “Today” show. “To dis-
cuss something this sensitive at a
political rally is just not right. It’s
just not right. I wish he hadn’t
done it. . . . It’s kind of appalling.”
Flake, the Judiciary Committee
member who pushed to delay the
vote on Kavanaugh so the FBI
could investigate, later told The
Washington Post that Trump’s
comments would not factor into
his thinking on the nomination.
“You can’t take it out on other
people, the president’s insensitive
remarks,” he said.
The impact on Collins and Mur-
kowski was less clear.
About two hours after Flake’s
appearance, Collins also took ex-
ception to Trump’s remarks, tell-
ing reporters, “The president’s
comments were just plain wrong.”
She did not answer a question
about whether the comments
could affect how she votes on Ka-
vanaugh.
Speaking to reporters early
Wednesday afternoon, Murkow-
ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES
ski said: “I thought the president’s
comments yesterday mocking Dr.
Ford were wholly inappropriate
and, in my view, unacceptable.”
Asked whether the comments
would affect her vote, she said: “I
am taking everything into ac-
count.”
In his most direct attack on
Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh
of sexual assault while both were
teenagers in Maryland, Trump
sought Tuesday night to highlight
holes in the account Ford gave in
sworn testimony to the Judiciary
Committee last week.
Ford has said that the incident
happened in an upstairs room at a
gathering of teenagers and that
she is “100 percent” certain it was
Kavanaugh who assaulted her, al-
though she has acknowledged
that her memories of other details
of the evening remain unclear.
Trump’s comments at Tuesday’s
rally prompted a debate that
played out on cable television and
elsewhere over whether he had
hurt his nominee’s chances.
Among those who weighed in
was Sen. Lindsey O. Graham
(R-S.C.), who said that everything
Trump had said was factual but
that he took issue with his tone.
“I would tell him, ‘Knock it off,
you’re not helping,’ ” Graham said
during an appearance at the At-
lantic Festival.
“This is what you get when you
go through a trailer park with a
$100 bill,” Graham added, para-
phrasing an infamous line used by
James Carville, a former cam-
paign strategist for President Bill
Clinton, to refer to a Clinton accus-
er.
Besides Flake, Collins and Mur-
kowski, Democratic Sens. Heidi
Heitkamp (N.D.) and Joe Manchin
III (W.Va.) also have yet to an-
nounce how they will vote.
While trying to round up votes
on his side, McConnell has also
taken sharp aim at Democrats,
accusing them of trying to “move
the goal posts” on Kavanaugh’s
confirmation fight by suggesting
that Friday would be too soon for a
key vote on him.
“If my friends across the aisle
had their way, the goal posts on
Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination
would be in another time zone,” he
said.
Senate Minority Leader Charles
E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) fired back in
remarks after McConnell, saying
the week-long delay to let the FBI
investigate came at the request of
Republican senators who were
not prepared to vote for Ka-
vanaugh’s nomination.
“Man up and say it’s your deci-
sion, not ours,” Schumer said.
White House counselor Kelly-
anne Conway defended her boss
during a Wednesday morning
television appearance.
“The president is pointing out
factual inconsistencies by Ford’s
vanaugh.
“It wasn’t anything but the
president stating facts,” Sanders
said of Trump.
She declined to say whether
Trump still believes Ford was
credible.
Besides Ford, two other women
have publicly accused Kavanaugh
of misconduct while he was in
high school or college. Deborah
Ramirez, who has accused Ka-
vanaugh of exposing himself to
her while they were students at
Yale University, has been inter-
viewed by the FBI. A third accuser,
Julie Swetnick, said in an affidavit
that Kavanaugh was present at a
house party in 1982 where she was
the victim of a gang rape.
Kavanaugh has vehemently de-
nied all allegations of misconduct.
Some Democrats have voiced
concerns about the scope of the
FBI probe, the extent to which the
White House is limiting it and
whether a week is long enough to
conduct a thorough investigation.
As a vote nears, Democrats have
also sought to highlight concerns
about Kavanaugh’s temperament,
pointing to moments in last week’s
hearing in which he grew testy at
senators and was emotional at
other points.
During his television appear-
ance, Flake reiterated that he, too,
was concerned that Kavanaugh at
times was “sharp and more parti-
san than a lot of us would like to
see.”
But he said Kavanaugh’s tenure
as a federal appeals court judge
was also relevant.
“We’ve seen a record that he’s
had on the court of collegiality and
working with other members,”
Flake said.
During his remarks, McConnell
said it was completely under-
standable that Kavanaugh had
grown “a little testy” at the hear-
ing.
“I would ask any of my col-
leagues, how would you feel if your
reputation had been destroyed in
this mudslide?” he said.

“The public ought to know,”

Chairman Charles E. Grassley
(R-Iowa) said in defending the
release of the statement Tuesday
about Swetnick, who has accused
Kavanaugh of misconduct.
Senate Judiciary Committee
Republicans released the explicit
statement from Dennis Ketterer,
who said he was involved in a
brief relationship with Swetnick
in 1993.
In a separate release, Grassley
sent Ford’s lawyers a letter on
Tuesday citing an unnamed for-
mer boyfriend who provided in-
formation he said raised ques-
tions about comments Ford
made under oath. The informa-
tion first emerged publicly in a
Fox News report.
The GOP actions are in line
with Trump’s strategy through-
out his presidency and during his
campaign. Confronted by accusa-
tions of misconduct and scrutiny
over controversial comments
and decisions, the president has
relentlessly counterpunched.
Republicans have also decided
that an impassioned fight over
Kavanaugh will help them retain
control of the Senate in the
November midterm elections, by
energizing conservatives in the
red states expected to decide the
majority and reminding GOP
voters of their party allegiances,
as some weigh whether to cross
over to support Democratic can-
didates.
Democrats criticized the ac-
tions, with Sen. Dianne Feinstein
(Calif.) accusing her Republican
colleagues of engaging “in a
smear campaign” against Ford,
while outside the Capitol, activ-
ists expressed their outrage.
“They’re trying to make survivors
into perpetrators,” said Toni Van

sexually assaulted her when both
were in high school.
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a key
swing vote and a member of the
panel, forced the Senate to delay
a vote on Kavanaugh for up to a
week so the FBI could reopen its
background investigation. Flake
and a handful of other senators
hold the key to Kavanaugh’s fate,
with Republicans holding a nar-
row 51-49 advantage.
“Unfortunately, all the rules
that ordinarily govern back-
ground investigations have been
broken,” said Sen. John Cornyn
(Tex.), the second-ranking Re-
publican, blaming Democrats.
“We’re in uncharted territory.”
In his letter to Ford’s attorneys

ter.

Ford’s lawyers responded that
they would provide the appropri-
ate records to the FBI, when she
is interviewed. Her lawyers said
she had not heard from the
agency about an interview.
The Ford team also released a
statement from a friend of Ford
rejecting the ex-boyfriend’s
claims.
Trump has escalated his criti-
cism of Ford. After initially re-
fraining from calling her allega-
tions into question, he sought to
raise doubt about them on social
media and then on Tuesday
mocked her account at a rally in
Mississippi, criticizing her for
not remembering some details.
While Trump faced criticism
from members of his own party
Wednesday, including Flake, Mc-
Connell has adopted a different
role in the campaign to confirm
Kavanaugh. In what has become
a daily ritual, the Republican
leader delivers angry speeches on
the Senate floor, complaining
about rumors and the Demo-
crats’ treatment of Kavanaugh.
After Ford’s allegation, Mc-
Connell said Wednesday, “a liter-
al mudslide of wild, uncorrobo-
rated accusations has poured out
— each more outlandish than the
last. And this mudslide has been
actively embraced, urged on, and
capitalized upon by Democrats
inside this chamber.”
McConnell has attacked the
credibility of Swetnick and rel-
ished criticizing her attorney, Mi-
chael Avenatti, who also repre-
sents Stormy Daniels, the adult-
film star who has engaged in
legal battles with Trump over a
deal that paid her to keep quiet
about an alleged affair.
A news release Wednesday
from the Republicans was titled,
“Dems Embrace Avenatti Circus
Allegations.”
Swetnick has said in an affida-
vit that Kavanaugh was present
at a house party in 1982 where
she alleges she was the victim of a
gang rape. Kavanaugh strongly
denies the claim.
Ketterer said Swetnick once
told him that she sometimes
enjoyed group sex with multiple
men. He said she never said
anything about being sexually
assaulted or raped, nor did she
ever mention Kavanaugh.
Swetnick’s attorney called the
statement “bogus and outra-
geous.” Ruth Glenn, the chief
executive of the National Coali-
tion Against Domestic Violence,
said Thursday that it ran afoul of
a provision in the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994.
“This disregard for the Rule
and most shockingly, decency,
will not only have an impact on
Ms. Swetnick, but for all of those
who must decide whether to
come forward with the violence
they have endured, today or in
the future,” Glenn said.
Defending the release
Wednesday, Grassley said, “I
don’t know what it added, but
just like we get a lot of accusa-
tions on both sides, we just try to
follow them where they lead us,”
he said.
Cornyn, who sits on the Judici-
ary Committee, said that he
didn’t release the statement or
know who did. A spokesman for
the Judiciary Committee Repub-
licans did not respond to a re-
quest for comment on who decid-
A9
ed to release the statement.
“The kindest thing I can say
about some of this stuff is it’s
unprecedented,” said Sen. Rich-
ard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a
member of the Judiciary Com-
mittee.
McConnell has been eager to
restore order to this confirma-
tion process and is also keenly
aware of the potential political
implications of the Kavanaugh
nomination, with the midterms
coming up, according to people
familiar with his thinking.
Democrats are defending 10
Senate seats in states Trump won
in 2016. Republicans have been
eager to inject polarizing issues
into those campaigns, reasoning
that energizing conservatives
and keeping voters in their parti-
san corners will result in success.
Sens. Joe Manchin III (W.Va.)
and Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), run-
ning in states Trump won by 43
and 36 percentage points, respec-
tively, have not said how they will
vote, even as their colleagues
have come out against Ka-
vanaugh.
An NPR/“PBS NewsHour”/
Marist national poll released
Wednesday showed that the
Democratic enthusiasm advan-
tage had shrunk. Democrats said
their own data showed the Ka-
vanaugh nomination had not giv-
en Republicans a dramatic edge.
They contended that Republi-
cans’ aggressive campaign to dis-
credit his accusers would exact a
long-term political cost.
“The most lasting impact of
the Kavanaugh nomination will
be the deepening of the percep-
tions many women have that the
party of Trump is an anti-woman
party,” said Geoff Garin, a Demo-
cratic pollster.
As many Republicans harden
their rhetoric, some GOP sena-
tors are blaming the tone of the
Kavanaugh standoff on the Sen-
ate as a whole.
“I think this whole thing has
been a grotesque carnival. It’s
been a circus without a tent. It’s
been an intergalactic freak
show,” said Sen. John Neely Ken-
nedy (R-La.).

As rivalries intensify in Tripoli, repeated spasms of violence are imperiling already faltering Western peace efforts
BY S UDARSAN R AGHAVAN
cairo — The rise of “super mili-
tias,” which last month triggered
the worst spasm of violence in the
Libyan capital Tripoli in four
years, has exposed the weakness
of Western efforts to stabilize Lib-
ya while creating an opening for
the Islamic State to resurrect itself
in North Africa.
Since late August, clashes be-
tween rival armed groups have
shattered Tripoli. Rockets and
heavy artillery have destroyed res-
idential neighborhoods, forcing
thousands of families to flee their
homes. The violence has killed
more than 115 and injured hun-
dreds more, pushing the United
Nations to declare a state of emer-
gency in the capital.
Another cease-fire was de-
clared last week. But few observ-
ers expect the violence to vanish
while the militias’ long-standing
rivalries and economic ambitions
persist. Previous cease-fire agree-
ments have repeatedly broken
down.
The recent violence is the stark-
est evidence yet of how the strat-
egy adopted by the United Na-
tions and Western powers after
the ouster and death of Libyan
dictator Moammar Gaddafi dur-
ing the 2011 Arab Spring revolts
has faltered. That strategy in-
volved installing the Government
of National Accord, a U.N.-
endorsed interim authority, in
2016 as a way to bring peace and
stability to the country.
From the beginning, that gov-
ernment has been largely reliant
on heavily armed militias to exert
control, and many Libyans have
seen it as an authority imposed on
them by outside powers.
Today, those militias are bat-
tling for the capital. Many of them
have linked up with other armed
factions to form larger, more-
powerful armed groups that some
analysts have dubbed “super mili-
tias.” Their goal, analysts say, is to
assert political control, seize terri-
tory and wrest economic spoils,
including a share of one of the
continent’s largest reserves of oil
and natural gas.
“This is the most significant
escalation that we’ve seen since
the summer of 2014, when you
had fighting in Tripoli as well,”
said Frederic Wehrey, author of
“The Burning Shores: Inside the
Battle for the New Libya.” “This is

Putin decries Skripal
as ‘scumbag,’ traitor
Russian President Vladimir
Putin on Wednesday called a
former double agent who was
sickened by a military-grade
nerve agent in Britain a traitor
and “scumbag” — but dismissed
the allegation that Russia was
behind the poisoning.
Wednesday’s remarks marked
the first time that Putin has
directly lashed out at Sergei
Skripal, who spent weeks
hospitalized with his daughter
after both were poisoned in the
English city of Salisbury in March.
British officials allege the attack
received approval “at a senior
level of the Russian state,” an
accusation Moscow has rejected.
“He’s just a spy, a traitor to the
motherland,” Putin said of Skripal
during a panel discussion at an
international energy forum.
“Think about it as a citizen, what
would be your attitude to
someone who betrayed your own
country? He’s just a scumbag.”
Putin reiterated that Russia
had no reason to attack Skripal, a
former officer of the Russian GRU
military intelligence agency who
was sentenced in 2006 to 13 years
for spying for Britain. He was
released as part of a 2010 spy
swap deal and settled in the
United Kingdom.

Since the GNA’s establishment,

those militias dominate the gov-

key ministries and elements of the
financial system, as well as by
overseeing security in the capital.
“They have grown into crimi-

YEMEN
Rebels release sons
of slain ex-president
Yemen’s Shiite rebels have
released two sons of late former
president Ali Abdullah Saleh,
Yemeni officials said Wednesday.
The release was confirmed by
the Houthi rebels’ official news
agency.
The sons had been in custody
since the rebels killed Saleh, their
onetime ally, when they gained
the upper hand in days of fighting
with his forces for control of the
capital, Sanaa, in December.
Yemen has been embroiled in a
war pitting a Saudi-led coalition
backing the embattled
government against the Iran-
aligned rebels.
An estimated 10,000 people
have been killed in the conflict.
The fighting has spawned what
the United Nations calls the
world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
Meanwhile, the U.N. children’s
agency has suspended cash

most impoverished citizens under
pressure from the Houthis.

The recent clashes pitted the
Seventh Brigade, an armed force
from Tarhouna, 45 miles south-
east of Tripoli, against two power-
ful pro-government militias: the
Tripoli Revolutionary Brigades
and the Nawasi. Smaller armed
groups in and around the capital
have joined sides.
The violence was initially
sparked by envy and resentment,
according to analysts and the mi-
litias themselves. Facebook posts
by pro-government militia lead-
ers — flaunting their flashy life-
styles, expensive cars and luxury
vacations — proved provocative at
a time when most Libyans are
struggling economically. On
Aug. 26, the Seventh Brigade
launched an assault on Tripoli,
vowing to cleanse corrupt rivals
from Libya.
The violence has raged despite
calls by Serraj to end the fighting.
The presiding magistrate in the
case ordered that the 80-year-old
Fujimori be taken into custody
immediately so he can serve out
the remaining 14 years of a 25-year
sentence for his role in the killing
of several civilians during raids by
an anti-communist army unit cre-
ated by his government.

of Libya’s National Oil on Sept. 10
in the midst of the militia clashes,
killing two employees and injur-
ing 10 others. It was a sign of the
extremists’ willingness to take ad-
vantage of a power vacuum.
“This is an ideal breeding
ground for ISIS,” Wehrey said,
using another name for the Islam-
ic State. “It gives them space. The
more these Libyan factions are
focused on fighting each other
and not containing or battling
ISIS, that’s a win for ISIS both in
terms of plotting operations but
also recruitment.”

also embolden Gen. Khalifa Hift-
er, a military strongman aligned
with a separate government in
eastern Libya that does not recog-
nize the GNA. Supported by
France, Egypt and other regional
powers, Hifter has long vowed to
send his forces into Tripoli,
though he lacks the military capa-
bilities, analysts say.
Still, the violence plays into the
strongman’s argument that Libya
needs an authoritarian to bring
stability. The chaos in Tripoli
“helps him with his narrative, that
this model in the east of relative
stability through a military-led
rule works,” Wehrey said.
The clashes have jeopardized
hopes for holding elections at the
end of the year. France and the
United Nations view them as a
vital step toward political stabili-
ty. But other European govern-
ments such as Italy, as well as
many Libyans, see holding a vote
as untenable given Libya’s chaotic
swings. The violence last month
only reinforced that view.
The United Nations’ top envoy
for Libya, Ghassan Salamé, re-
cently acknowledged the deep-
rooted problems Libya faces, tell-
ing European foreign ministers at
the U.N. General Assembly meet-
ing in New York that “there is a
need to free the government from
the control of armed groups.”
Few analysts expect that to
happen in the near future. The
United Nations, analysts say, did
little to push the militias out of
government roles over the past
two years. Rather, it relied on the
militias to provide security for the
capital, ministries, embassies and
even U.N. facilities.
It continues to do so.
“People were happy with the
security the militias provided, de-
spite what they represented,” said
Jalel Harchaoui, a Libya scholar at
the University of Paris 8. “Now
you have a U.N. trying to use very
frank language, but it is on the
same side of some of the militias.
Can the U.N. call itself neutral at
this moment? No.”
After the cease-fire last week,
Harchaoui wrote in a tweet that
the battle for Tripoli will be over
only when grievances have been
resolved, militias have been de-
feated and new political arrange-
ments have emerged. None of that
has happened, he wrote. “There-
fore it’s just a lull.”

Relief needs dire after Sulawesi double disaster Judge blocks

Population despairing
as Indonesian leader
visits ravaged areas
BY T IMOTHY M C L AUGHLIN,
S TANLEY W IDIANTO
AND S HIBANI M AHTANI
palu, indonesia — Ten-year-
old Mohammad Zaki was climb-
ing on a beachfront playground
at dusk on Friday when the
ground beneath him seemed to
disappear.
Badly injured and disorient-
ed, Zaki was then hit by a rush of
ocean water, as hulking waves
crashed down on this coastal
city. He scrambled across the
debris and, when the chaos
passed, realized that he was
bleeding heavily, his clothes
ripped from his body. He stag-
gered toward the city and was
found by a police officer.
“He had to climb on top of a
car from a hole in the ground,”
said his aunt Rosmawati, 33, who
sat next to his hospital bed,
fanning his wounds in the crush-
ing humidity with a piece of a
cardboard box. “He was brave.”
Zaki has been waiting five
days for an operation to repair a
severe laceration on his abdo-
men, one of dozens of patients
waiting for additional treatment
at the state-run Undata hospital
— which is still without fuel to
run its generators and so without
full electricity.
“I’m still in pain,” he said from
his bed in a hospital hallway.
Indonesian President Joko
Widodo visited this battered city
Wednesday for the second time,
and the neighboring region of
Donggala for the first, where
twin disasters — a 7.5-magnitude
earthquake and a tsunami that
followed — have taken at least
1,407 lives.
“The most important thing in
a post-disaster situation is fast
handling!” Widodo, better
known as Jokowi, said in a tweet.
He has appointed his vice presi-
dent to lead recovery efforts, and
the government’s disaster man-
agement agency has deployed
more than 6,000 people to the
area, ushering in convoy after

clean water, instant noodles and
basic medicine.
The relief workers have begun
to coordinate the arrival of for-
eign C-130 transport planes, and
police and army officers now line
the streets to quell the looting
and disorder that were rampant
in the aftermath of the twin
disasters.
Still, residents say these ef-
forts pale in comparison to the
mammoth task ahead of this
community, and they can’t shake
the feeling of forlorn abandon-
ment, after no help came for
nearly six days.
Across this region on Wednes-
day, sign after sign, some hung
on fences and some held up by
weary survivors, continue to beg
for help: “We’re hungry,” “Don’t
forget us,” “We are victims too.”
Of those who have been officially
confirmed dead, only about a
third have received any kind of
burial, some in mass graves high
in the hills surrounding the city
and a lucky few by family mem-
bers who found them. Thou-
sands more may be dead, buried
in mud.

ue to change,” Sutopo Purwo

nesia’s disaster agency, said of
the death toll. About 70,000
people were rendered homeless
and are camping in makeshift
shelters fashioned from tarps
and bamboo poles.
Also Wednesday, a volcano
erupted on Sulawesi island, site
of the devastating earthquake
and tsunami. Mount Soputan
spewed a column of ash more
than 19,700 feet into the sky,
according to the Associated
Press. No evacuations were im-
mediately ordered.
Foreign aid will begin to trick-
le in to Palu, Donggala and the
surrounding region. About 29
countries have offered help, said
Nugroho, and 17 of those have
met the Indonesian govern-
ment’s specific needs. Seven C-
130 transport planes, offered by
four countries including Singa-
pore and Japan, will bring in
much-needed supplies and re-

move survivors. Other countries,
including Australia, have
pledged doctors and medical
equipment.
For now, though, medical cen-
ters like Undata hospital are
messy and overwhelmed. The
hospital’s entrance was littered
with oxygen canisters and hypo-
dermic needles, and patients lay
on stretchers under the blazing
sun, waiting for treatment. In
the parking lot, dozens of corps-
es wrapped in body bags and
tarps were being loaded into
dumpsters by volunteers and
soldiers to be taken away for
mass burial. Inside, an elderly
man lay on a hospital bed in a
diaper, rice scattered all over the
thin blue mattress.
Some doctors and nurses wore
latex gloves and splashed their
hands with rubbing alcohol. Oth-
ers used gardening gloves, and
some worked barehanded and in
flip-flops. When the disaster
hit, “nothing was on” in the way
of utilities, said Muhammad Sak-
ti, a doctor coordinating the
medical team here. “We couldn’t
work.”
Most of the patients here had
been buried under collapsed
buildings, doctors said. Some
suffered open fractures, and oth-
ers needed amputations. Lifesav-
ing operations were prioritized.
Needs are still acute.
“We need fuel,” Sakti said,
acknowledging that he was ex-
hausted, “not just for the hospi-
tal but for all. We need electrici-
ty, water.”
The government, he said, has
promised fuel supplies, but as of
now, “it’s just a promise,” he
added with a laugh.
On Wednesday, Widodo
toured Palu, including the now-
wiped-out settlement of Petobo,
where hundreds are still be-
lieved to be buried in thick mud.
He visited the remains of the Roa
Roa, an 80-room hotel that col-
lapsed during the earthquake,
burying about 50 or 60 guests in
its debris. His black SUV was
mobbed as he pulled away from
the site, and he handed packets
of biscuits to children.
Moments after the president
left, Talib, a 24-year-old rescuer
standing with military personnel
guarding the area, broke down in
tears.
“I had hoped that while
Jokowi was here, all the help
would come here,” he said, fight-
ing back tears. He had arrived at
the site of the hotel earlier that
day with his own climbing equip-
ment to scale the wreckage, a
lone volunteer searching
through the rubble. Heavy
equipment, he pleaded, needs to
arrive to free those trapped in-
side, even though they are prob-
ably dead.
“If it was a member of your
family, wouldn’t you cry, too?”
Talib added. “This is the sixth
day.”
When soldiers who were there
for Jokowi’s appearance began to
disperse, Talib once again scaled
the wreckage of the hotel and
restarted his search.

A SSOCIATED P RESS
san francisco — A judge on
Wednesday blocked the Trump
administration from ending pro-
tections that allowed immi-
grants from four countries to live
and work legally in the United
States, saying the move would
cause “irreparable harm and
great hardship.”
U.S. District Judge Edward
Chen in San Francisco granted a
request for a preliminary injunc-
tion against the administration’s
decision to discontinue tempo-
rary protected status for people
from Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti
and El Salvador.
The judge said there is evi-
dence that “President Trump
harbors an animus against non-
white, non-European aliens
which influenced his . . . decision
to end the TPS designation.”
The ruling cited Trump’s 2015
speech in which he characterized
Mexican immigrants as drug
dealers and rapists, his call to bar
Muslims from entering the Unit-
ed States and his vulgar refer-
ence to African countries during
a meeting about immigration at
the White House in January.
It’s the latest case in which
judges have cited Trump’s com-
ments to rule against his immi-
gration policies. His words have
been turned against him in law-
suits over decisions to separate
families at the border, end legal
protections for young immi-
grants and ban people from
some Muslim-majority coun-
tries.
Temporary protected status is
granted to countries ravaged by
natural disasters or war and lets
citizens of those countries re-
main in the United States until
the situation improves back
home. About 300,000 people
have received those protections.
The ruling said the govern-
ment failed to show the harm of
continuing the 20-year-old pro-
gram and that the plaintiffs es-
tablished how uprooting those
immigrants could hurt the local
and national economy.
Homeland Security officials
said they could not comment on
ongoing litigation.

Prime minister sashays onto stage to defend Brexit — as well as her job
BY W ILLIAM B OOTH
AND K ARLA A DAM
birmingham, england — The
British prime minister sashayed
onto the stage at the Conserva-
tive Party conference Wednesday,
dancing in her inimitable There-
sa May style — that is stiffly,
awkwardly, but with gusto — to
Abba’s 1976 hit “Dancing Queen.”
It was May’s way of declaring
that she won’t back down — not
to her former foreign secretary
Boris Johnson, who trashed her
Brexit schemes the day before;
nor Labour Party opponent Jer-
emy Corbyn, whom she accused
of hating Britain; nor those stub-
born negotiators in Brussels who
call her proposals to leave the
European Union unworkable.
In the conference hall in Bir-
mingham, many Tories said they
were now more hopeful that May
might be able to rally the party
behind her — and avoid a disas-
trous exit from the European
bloc.
“I feel inspired,” said Jayne
Rear, a Conservative Party mem-
ber on the local governing coun-
cil in Lancashire. “Theresa May is
back in top form.”
On social media, some posts
praised the 62-year-old prime

Mystery deepens over Saudi journalist’s disappearance
BY K AREEM F AHIM
london — The mystery sur-
rounding the whereabouts of
missing Saudi journalist Jamal
Khashoggi deepened Wednesday
with Turkish officials saying he
was still inside the Saudi consul-
ate in Istanbul, contradicting a
Saudi government statement that
he had left it a day earlier.
Khashoggi, 59, a prominent
commentator who writes for The
Washington Post’s Global Opin-
ions section and has recently been
critical of the Saudi leadership,
visited the consulate Tuesday to
obtain paperwork related to his
upcoming wedding, his fiancee
said. He has not been heard from
since.
Ibrahim Kalin, a spokesman for
Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, said during a televised
news conference Wednesday
that “the information we have is
that the Saudi citizen in question
is still in the Saudi Arabian consul-
ate in Istanbul.”
Kalin raised concerns about the
legality of the apparent detention,
saying that Khashoggi’s disap-
pearance “has a dimension of in-
ternational law. There is a dimen-
sion of the law of the Turkish
republic.”
But an emailed statement from
the Saudi government earlier
Wednesday called reports that
Khashoggi was missing “false.”

sulate to request paperwork relat-
ed to his marital status and exited
shortly thereafter,” said the state-

after busting a few moves on a
recent trip to Africa), while oth-
ers lamented that Abba was now
ruined for them.
Abba’s “SOS” single may have
been a better choice, critics
quipped. The Liberal Democrats
tweeted: “When Brexit is in chaos
but your only answer is Dancing
Queen.”
Going into the annual Con-
servative Party conference, there
were questions about whether
May might face a leadership chal-
lenge. Rumors swirl daily of plots
to replace her. But it does not
appear there is yet a challenger
with the nerve and backing to
topple May in a no-confidence
vote.
Many now think May’s
Wednesday speech will help keep
her in office — at least for the next
six months.
On Tuesday, Johnson — who
remains a Conservative member
of Parliament and is widely
thought to aspire to become
prime minister someday —
wailed about May’s compromise
Brexit proposal, which seeks to
preserve trade with Europe by
aligning Britain with E.U. rules
and regulations. Johnson called
her approach sad, wrong, weak,
dangerous and “a cheat” against
the millions of Brits who voted to
divorce the continent.

unnamed Saudi official.
In a subsequent statement is-
sued early Thursday, the Saudi
consulate in Istanbul said “it was
following-up on the media reports
of the disappearance of Saudi citi-
zen Jamal Khashoggi after he left
the building of the Saudi consul-
ate in Istanbul.” The statement
added that the consulate was “car-
rying out follow-up procedures in
coordination with the Turkish lo-
cal authorities.”
On Wednesday, the State De-
partment requested information
from the Saudi government about
Khashoggi’s whereabouts and ex-
pressed concern about his safety, a
senior U.S. official said. There was
no immediate response from the
Saudis, said the official, who re-
quested anonymity because he
was not authorized to describe the
diplomatic effort on the record.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
spoke on the phone Wednesday
with Saudi Crown Prince Moham-
med bin Salman, but a State De-
partment official declined to say
whether the two discussed
Khashoggi’s status, citing “private
diplomatic discussions.” Accord-
ing to a readout of the call, they
discussed the war in Yemen, coun-
tering Iran and “areas for expand-
ing U.S.-Saudi collaboration.”
In a statement Wednesday, Fred
Hiatt, editorial page editor of The
Washington Post, said, “The Post

officials.”
The disappearance has stunned
some of the Saudi government’s
stalwart defenders and highlight-
ed the country’s increasingly ag-
gressive pursuit of its critics under
the leadership of Crown Prince
Mohammed. The Saudi authori-
ties have arrested hundreds of
people over the past year, often on
murky charges, including wom-
ballistic missile program.
The Trump administration in
May withdrew from a 2015 nu-

signed with Iran and other world
powers, announcing renewed
U.S. sanctions on dollar transac-
tions, food exports and sales of

had her turn at the rostrum.
“If we all go off in different
directions in pursuit of our own
visions of the perfect Brexit, we
risk ending up with no Brexit at
all,” she told the conference.
May warned, “We are entering
the toughest phase of the negoti-
ations.”
She said, “What we are propos-
ing is very challenging for the
E.U.”
May also prepared her party
and the country for the possibili-
en’s rights advocates, dissidents
and popular clerics, according to
human rights groups.
When Khashoggi entered the
consulate on Tuesday afternoon,
he left his phone with his fiancee,
along with instructions that she
should call an adviser to President
Erdogan if he did not return, she
said. The fiancee, a Turkish citi-
zen, has asked journalists not to
publish her name.

oil sales, Iran’s energy and ship-
ping sectors, and foreign finan-
cial institutions transacting with
Iran’s Central Bank.
Wednesday’s verdict is bind-
ing, but the court, located in The
Hague, lacks the power to enforce
its decisions, which are usually
ignored by the United States any-
way. Iran had argued that sanc-
tions announced in May violated
the 1955 Treaty of Amity between
the United States and Iran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mo-
hammad Javad Zarif called the
directive “another failure” for the
United States and a “victory for
the rule of law.” It is “imperative
for int’l community to collective-
ly counter malign U.S. unilateral-
ism,” Zarif said on Twitter.
Hours later, Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo said the United
States is terminating the Treaty of
Amity, calling it an “absolute
absurdity” given the tensions be-
tween the two countries.
“We ought to have pulled out of
it decades ago,” Pompeo said,
calling it “39 years overdue” in a
reference to the 1979 revolution
in Iran. “Today marked a useful
point with the decision that was
made this morning from the ICJ.
This marked a useful point for us
to demonstrate the absolute ab-
surdity of the Treaty of Amity
between the United States and
the Islamic Republic.”
The 15-member panel of judges
ruled that the United States
“must remove” any impediments
to the free exportation to Iran of
goods required for humanitarian
needs, as well as spare parts for
civil aviation safety.
The court said the assurances

ty that Britain will leave the bloc
in March 2019 with no deal — a
“doomsday scenario” for many
businesses that rely on trade with
the continent.
“No one wants a good deal
more than me. But that has never
meant getting a deal at any cost,”
May said. “Britain isn’t afraid to
leave with no deal if we have to.
But we need to be honest about it.
Leaving without a deal — intro-
ducing tariffs and costly checks
at the border — would be a bad
outcome for the U.K. and the E.U.”
May promised that Britain
would leave the union next year,
and she heaped disdain on her
Labour Party opponents who
have been pushing for a second
referendum on Brexit.
“They call it a ‘People’s Vote.’
But we had the people’s vote. The
people voted to leave,” May said.
“A second referendum would be a
politician’s vote: politicians tell-
ing people they got it wrong the
first time and they should try
again.”
Closing the Conservative con-
ference, May sought to reassure
Britain of its progress.
“A decade after the financial
crash, people need to know that
the austerity it led to is over and
that their hard work has paid off,”
May said, promising help to bol-
ster housing stocks, improve care

She called the police hours lat-

and he had not emerged.
Khashoggi’s friends said that po-
lice officers had reviewed footage
from cameras around the area and
told them there was no sign that
Khashoggi had left the embassy.

sanctions would have limited hu-
manitarian impact were “not ad-
equate to address fully the hu-
manitarian and safety concerns
raised by” Iran.
The measures adopted by the
United States, the court said,
“may entail irreparable conse-
quences.”
Pompeo took issue with the
court’s ruling, which represented
a moral victory for Iran.
“We’re disappointed that the
court failed to recognize that it
has no jurisdiction to issue any
order relating to these sanctions
measures with the United States,
which is doing its work on Iran to
protect its own essential security
interests,” Pompeo said.
In an appearance at Wednes-
day’s White House press briefing,
national security adviser John
Bolton said Iran had “made a
mockery” of the treaty.
“The Iranian regime has sys-
tematically pursued a policy of
hostility toward the United States
that defames the central premise
of the Treaty of Amity,” he said.
“The regime cannot practice ani-
mosity in its conduct, and then
ask for amity under international
law.”
He maintained the Trump ad-
ministration’s policy is not re-
gime change, “but we do expect
substantial change in their be-
havior.”
Under the nuclear deal, Iran
agreed to curb its atomic energy
program in exchange for the lift-

sanctions. That agreement per-

“I thought it was absolutely
cracking,” Matt Hancock, Brit-
ain’s health secretary, told the
BBC. “From the moment she
came in dancing, you could see
that she had mojo, and the
speech delivered on that.”
Jon Tonge, a politics professor
at the University of Liverpool
said it was an “8 out of 10” speech
that went over well with Con-
servative Party members, who
“can’t make up their minds be-
tween her and Boris Johnson.”
But there was one “huge omis-
sion,” the professor said.
“There was no mention of the
Chequers plan on Brexit, a huge
omission because ultimately if
she can’t sell that plan to her
party, her leadership, and indeed
the entire Brexit deal, is in ques-
tion,” Tonge said.
“If you’re trying to sell a plan
and you really believe in it, surely
you’d put it in your most impor-
tant speech of the year,” he said.
He said May might be tacking

“We were going to marry this

about going into the consulate but
had weighed the risks, she added.
“Of course he was worried. How
comfortable can one be if he is not
liked by his country?” she said.
Khashoggi’s apparent deten-
tion threatens to become a flash
point in relations between Turkey
and Saudi Arabia. The two coun-
tries maintain cordial relations
but are on opposing sides of a
regional dispute pitting Qatar
against a bloc of Arab nations led
by Saudi Arabia. Turkey has
strongly supported Qatar in the
feud.
Khashoggi has written exten-
sively about Mohammed’s pol-
icies, criticizing the arrests of ac-
tivists and questioning Saudi Ara-
bia’s involvement in a war in
neighboring Yemen. He has lived
in self-imposed exile in the United
States since last year, saying he
feared arrest if he remained in
Saudi Arabia.
“I have left my home, my family
and my job, and I am raising my
voice,” he wrote in a column last
year. “To do otherwise would be-
tray those who languish in prison.”

allowed Iran to export things
such as carpets, pistachios and
other goods.
The Trump administration,
however, has reimposed the most
stringent of sanctions, as part of a
tougher new policy on Iran.
On Wednesday, the ICJ Presi-
dent Abdulqawi Yusuf said the
court’s order applies to medicines
and medical devices; foodstuffs
and agricultural commodities;
and spare parts, equipment and
repair services for civil aviation.
The United States must also en-
sure that licenses and authoriza-
tions are granted and that pay-
ment for such goods and services
are not subject to any restric-
tions.
The United States “maintains
broad authorizations and excep-
tions that allow for the sale of
food, medicine and medical de-
vices by U.S. persons or from the
United States to Iran,” according
to guidelines form the Treasury
Department’s Office of Foreign
Assets Control, which adminis-
ters and enforces economic and
trade sanctions.
U.S. sanctions law is triggered,
however, if a transaction involves
U.S.-designated people, such as
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard
Corps or a designated Iranian
bank.
As a result, the private Iranian
institutions that facilitate pay-
ments for humanitarian goods
could be hindered by broader U.S.
restrictions on both Iranian enti-
ties and the country’s banking
sector.

Russia’s
outreach
pays off
in Serbia
SERBIA FROM A1
totaling up aid, investments and
trade — Russia’s presence is far
more penetrating. Across Serbian
life, the Kremlin has been expert
at finding ways to attract friends
and good publicity at bargain
prices. And by appealing to ordi-
nary Serbs, it has gained a more
deeply rooted hold than if it had
pursued its push solely among
Serbian leaders.
Russia built an emergency re-
lief center that elicits gratitude
every time Serbia faces floods or
fires — but that Western officials
worry might be a spy hub. It has
muscle-bound allies in a Serbian
biker gang that is closely linked to
Putin and helped Russia seize
Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
Russian state media broadcast
Serbian-language reports, such as
one suggesting NATO and the
Islamic State were plotting to-
gether to spread chaos at the
World Cup.
“The West is investing enor-
mous amounts of money in Ser-
bia, but psychologically they are
small when you compare them to
the MiG factor,” said Petar
Vojinovic, editor of Tango Six, a
Serbian aviation-news outlet.
Although Russia emphasizes
its supposedly unbreakable ties
with Serbia, cemented by shared
Orthodox and Slavic heritage,
that narrative glosses over much
of the 20th century. The relation-
ship was frosty after Yugoslavia’s
communist-era leader Josip Broz
Tito broke with the Soviet Union
in 1948. During the ethnic clashes
and NATO bombing in the Bal-
kans in the 1990s, Russia was
mostly sidelined by its own do-
mestic turmoil. It was only at the
turn of the millennium, when
Russia supported Serbia in its
opposition to Kosovo’s drive for
independence, that relations be-
gan to warm again.
“This image of brotherhood
was nurtured through soft-power
channels,” said Vuk Vuksanovic, a
London School of Economics re-
searcher who previously worked
at the Serbian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.
Flattering depictions of Russia
are plentiful in Serbia’s raucous
tabloids and on the airwaves,
thanks to Serbian-language bulle-
tins from Russia’s state-run Sput-
nik news agency, which opened in
Belgrade in 2015.
“It’s not foreign meddling. We
don’t feel the Russian perspective
is foreign,” said Nikola Vrzic, who
hosts a radio show on Sputnik
and is also an editor at the pro-
Russian Pecat newsweekly. Pic-
tures of a glowering Putin crowd-
ed the walls at the magazine’s
offices. “When you have a West-
ern perspective, that’s foreign
meddling,” Vrzic said.
Russia’s tricolor flag appears
intertwined with Serbia’s along-
side highways, on billboards
sponsored by Russia’s Gazprom
energy company. E.U. funds paid
for many of the roads, but the tiny
blue-and-yellow European flag
goes down as soon as construc-
tion is complete.
Russia has come to dominate
Serbia’s oil and natural gas mar-
ket — a fraction of the overall
economy, but a key one for the
country’s security. Serbia imports
75 percent of its natural gas, all of
it from Russia. Since 2008, Mos-
cow has controlled domestic pro-
duction, too, after Serbia’s nation-
al energy company was sold to
Gazprom for a bargain price. The
profits help Russia’s broader in-
fluence efforts pay for them-
selves.
Russia also has a strong pres-
ence at church. Many Serbian
Orthodox priests meet frequently
with senior Russian political
leaders. In their sermons, they
play up the common religious
heritage and thank the Kremlin
for trying to thwart independ-
ence for Kosovo, which the Serbi-
an church considers its ancestral
home. The construction of an
Orthodox church in a Russian
style northwest of Belgrade at-
tracted tens of thousands of dol-
lars in donations after it was
dubbed “Putin’s church.”
As Serbians have begun to en-
counter Russia everywhere they
turn, Moscow’s inroads have
alarmed some local observers.
“It’s not just that the Russians
are marching in — it’s that they
are welcomed by too many people
in society,” said Jelena Milic, di-
rector of the Center for Euro-
Atlantic Studies, a think tank that
advocates closer ties with the
West.
Among the signs of Moscow’s
success: Many Serbs mistakenly
believe Russia is their biggest
partner for trade, aid and the
military, according to opinion
polls.
. THE WASHINGTON POST
Russian members of the Night Wolves, a motorcycle club supported by the Kremlin, in March at a border crossing between Bosnia and
Serbia, near the Bosnian city of Bijeljina. The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on the club for alleged actions in Ukraine.
Serbian perceptions of the top foreign donors
In a July poll, the Serbian government asked citizens to identify which country
had granted the most aid since 2000.
E.U.
Russia
China
Japan
Norway 9%
United States 6%
U.N. 3%
Other/Don't know 7%
Source: Serbian Ministry of European Integration
In fact, 65 percent of their
country’s trade is with the E.U.,
while only 6.7 percent is with
Russia. Serbian soldiers trained
more than 20 times last year with
NATO members, compared with
twice with Russian counterparts.
And the E.U. and its members
offered more than $600 million
in aid to Serbia in 2016, the latest
year figures are available,
50 times as much as the Kremlin.
(The United States, China and the
Persian Gulf states have also
made major investments in the
country.)
In Serbia, “the Russians are
giving nothing and getting a lot in
the deal,” said Bosko Jaksic, a
foreign policy columnist at Politi-
ka, a Serbian daily. “Big politics
can change in an instant. If you
target the cells of people’s brains,
it’s much more dangerous.”
Russia’s interest relates to Ser-
bia’s geography — perched be-
tween East and West. Of Serbia’s
eight neighbors, five are NATO
members. Four are in the E.U.,
and several more are working
toward accession.
Moscow already has secured
Serbia’s commitment that it
won’t seek to join NATO or join
E.U. sanctions against Russia.
Many Western officials think
Moscow intends to deter Serbia’s
E.U. membership aspirations al-
together.
The potential for Russian mis-
chief has increased since Serbia’s
Vucic and Kosovo President
Hashim Thaci signaled in August
that they are open to normalizing
relations. The two leaders have
been working on a deal that may
involve a land swap and Serbian
recognition of Kosovo, the largely
ethnically Albanian territory that
declared independence from Bel-
grade in 2008 with Western back-
ing.
Resolving their differences is a
prerequisite of E.U. membership
for both countries, even as some
E.U. leaders express nervousness
about the land swap. But continu-
ation of the rift benefits Russia,
and although Moscow has said it
is open to a deal, officials close to
the Serbian president fear the
Kremlin may try to be a spoiler.
The Russian ambassador to
Serbia clearly dangled a carrot
last month when he confirmed
that Putin would visit Belgrade
this fall, with the added entice-
ment of “hundreds” of Russian
government officials and busi-
nesspeople.
“We have seen Russian at-
tempts to interfere and to influ-
ence,” said NATO Secretary Gen-
eral Jens Stoltenberg, who plans
to visit Vucic in Belgrade next
week during joint NATO-Serbia
emergency response exercises. “It
is extremely important that we
don’t forget the Balkans, because
we have seen before that conflicts
in the Balkans can trigger devas-
tating wars.”
Analysts who have assessed the
potential for Russian interfer-
ence in Serbia have zeroed in on
the Russian-Serbian Humanitari-
an Center in the southern city of
Nis. The Russian-funded center,
built in 2012, has served as a base
for relief efforts. On a recent

Serbian bikers paid their own
way.
“We don’t have anything other
than mutual respect,” he said. “He
respects us for our work, I respect
him for being a strong leader —
nothing more than that.”
A different pair of Serbian and
Russian nationalist groups were
behind a paramilitary youth
camp in rural western Serbia,
where teenagers clad in camou-
flage learned gun and knife skills
from Russian and Serbian train-
ers.
The organizers — a Serbian
war veterans association and the
Russian ENOT Corp., which
boasts of fighting alongside pro-
Russian separatists in eastern
Ukraine — told local media that a
Russian military attache paid a
visit to the camp in August and
that the Russian Embassy in Ser-
bia had prepared “gifts” for the
children.
Serbian officials shut the camp
down.
Vucic’s tightrope act was on
display as he celebrated the deliv-
ery of the Russian fighter jets
days later. “You cannot have mili-
tary camps organized by nongov-
ernmental organizations,” he

“We’re all Slavs,” Gulevich said.
“We’re close. We have a relation-
ship like brothers.”
Speaking on the condition of
anonymity to discuss sensitive
security concerns, officials from
the United States, E.U. and NATO
said the center has advanced
communications equipment that
may go beyond its needs for emer-
gency rescues. Diplomatic immu-
nity, they worry, would make it
even harder to prevent trouble-
making.
“If [Serbia] allows Russia to
create some kind of a special
center for espionage or other ne-
farious activities, it will lose con-
trol over part of its territory,” Hoyt
Yee, then the top State Depart-
ment official for the region, testi-
fied before a Senate Foreign Rela-
tions subcommittee last year.
Officials close to Vucic say that
if they were forced to give in to
Russia on the status of the center,
their window to join the E.U.
could snap shut.
Other low-cost influence ef-
forts have come through Russian
proxies.

Millions of cellphones buzz with a test of wireless ‘Presidential Alert’
BY B RIAN F UNG
Beginning at 2:18 p.m. Eastern
time Wednesday, Americans
across the country were inter-
rupted by an urgent notification
on their cellphones.
“Presidential Alert,” the mes-
sage read. “THIS IS A TEST of the
National Wireless Emergency
Alert System. No action is need-
ed.”
Blasted out by cell towers na-
tionwide over a 30-minute peri-
od, the message was expected to
reach some 225 million people in
an unprecedented federal exer-
cise.
Wednesday’s test of the Wire-

Some companies have covered
Metro stations in advertisements.
Others have funded teams of lob-
byists and lawyers and the kinds
of operatives who dig for dirt. At
least two lawsuits have been filed
— and more could be coming.
And as bids come due for a
winner-take-all contract to help
the Pentagon build a depart-
mentwide cloud computing sys-

coming.
In an unusually public war of
words, the likes of IBM, Microsoft

cized the government’s approach,
fearful that Amazon has an inside
track that would allow it to domi-
nate the government technology
market and freeze out competi-

charged Pentagon procurements
in years. In his role, he works
directly with Defense Secretary
Jim Mattis and top Pentagon offi-
cials, who he said are following the
process closely.
In his most extensive comments
to date on the cloud contract,
which could be worth as much as
$10 billion over a decade, Deasy
laid out his strategy for what’s
known as the Joint Enterprise De-
fense Infrastructure (JEDI) pro-
gram. He told The Post during an
interview at the Pentagon: “I’m
here for a very specific purpose. I
want to help the Defense Depart-
ment put the best long-term tech-
nology in place.”
Deasy does not have a military
background and was most recent-
ly the global chief information offi-
cer at JPMorgan Chase. Even
though there is tumult and con-
tractor warfare swirling all around
him, Deasy said his philosophy is
to “keep pushing ahead. We are
going to build the right cloud envi-
ronment. I tell the team every day,
‘Just focus on that.’” He reiterated
that the department is running a
fair and open competition, with no
favorites. An award is expected
next year.
The contract comes as the Pen-
tagon’s National Defense Strategy
has, after years of fighting counter-
insurgencies in Iraq and Afghani-
stan, placed an increasing impor-
tance on facing superpowers such
as Russia and China. For years,
those countries have steadily been
working to erode the technological
superiority that the United States
has enjoyed since World War II.
A robust cloud system would
allow the Pentagon the kind of
computing power to unleash arti-
ficial intelligence, deep learning
and the technologies of the future
that the Pentagon thinks will be
essential for modern warfare.
Developing the system “will rev-
olutionize how we fight and win
wars,” Deasy said in a statement
last summer.
In the interview, he stressed
that “it’s not lost on us that this
strategy is of paramount impor-
tance to the Department of De-
fense. It’s important to industry.
There are a lot of people watching
this.”

Many cellphone users may be

emergency weather alerts and
AMBER alerts can only be sent on
a regional or statewide basis, not
nationally and all at once.
The presidential alert is de-
signed to let the White House
inform the entire country almost
instantly of grave public emer-
gencies, such as a terrorist attack
or an invasion, according to
FEMA. While Americans can
choose not to receive weather and
AMBER alerts, they cannot opt
out of presidential ones.

Tuning out the noise may prove
difficult. The procurement has
been controversial from the start,
with allegations that it was rigged

the world’s largest cloud provid-
ers, which also holds a

fastest-growing part of Amazon’s

sent out, a federal judge in New
York rejected a lawsuit by three
people who claimed the presiden-
tial alert violated the First and
Fourth amendments, because
Americans could not opt out. The
judge explained her decision by
saying that the claims were too
speculative, according to the As-
sociated Press, and that it was
motivated by concerns that Presi-
dent Trump sought to turn the
wireless emergency alert system
into “a second Twitter feed.”
Despite its name, the presiden-
tial alert was not issued by Trump
directly. But in general, the proc-
ess calls for the president — or his
representative — to authorize
FEMA to send an alert on the
White House’s behalf.

officials revealed that they would
go to just one provider for JEDI

cism from many potential bidders

Microsoft said a better ap-
proach would “leverage the inno-
vations of multiple cloud service

ened it to the Air Force using only

such as AT&T and Verizon,
through an online system called
the Integrated Public Alert and
Warning System, or IPAWS.
The cellphone alert is also ac-
companied by a similar test of the
Emergency Alert System, an older
system that handles radio and
television. The federal govern-
ment is required by law to test its
alerting systems every three
years. FEMA last tested the EAS
in 2016 and 2017, and the first
wireless emergency alerts were
sent in 2012.
Not all cellphones may have
received Wednesday’s alert, how-
ever. If you weren’t in range of a
cell tower or if your phone was
switched off, you probably missed
the message. That was expected
to be the case for about a quarter
of the nation’s cellphones.
The fact that three out of four
phones probably received the
team to change course.
Throughout it all, the Pentagon
hasn’t budged in its approach to
the JEDI contract.
In the interview, Deasy was ada-
mant that awarding the contract
to a single company was in the
Pentagon’s best interests and
would give it a better chance of
success to build a cloud system
capable of serving the entire de-
partment. He declined to commit
to a date or year by which the JEDI
cloud needs to be set up.
Having additional companies
involved would “just double or tri-
ple your complexity,” he said.
The Defense Department is
treating the JEDI contract as a sort
of “pathfinder effort” that could
enable advanced military technol-
ogies and modernize outdated sys-
tems, and usher in a revolution in

BY T AYLOR T ELFORD

might not stay that way.
Although the company closed
all its U.S. stores in June as part of

ess, the owners of the toy and
baby-product retailer might be

looning. And, crediting Trump,
the companies are making plans
to open up new steel plants and
hire more workers.
“The commitment that he has
to steel is unprecedented,” U.S.
Steel chief executive David Bur-
ritt said in August, after Trump
visited a U.S. Steel plant reopen-
ing in Granite City, Ill. “He’s with
us and we’re going to do every-
thing we can to support him
because this is not just good for
U.S. Steel. This is great for the
United States of America.”
Yet the trickle-down effects are
far harder to predict. Steel com-
panies, while supportive of the
tariffs, have experienced wild
gyrations in their business in
recent years and can’t be certain
the lucrative new protections
will stick around. So even in this
time of sudden prosperity, some
analysts say, they must be disci-
plined with worker pay and ben-
efits.
Here in southwest Pennsylva-
nia, 15 miles from Pittsburgh, the
question is coming to a head
because labor contracts govern-
ing 31,000 steelworkers at U.S.
Steel and ArcelorMittal, the larg-
est steel company in the world,
expired last month. Workers say
the new contracts represent the
perfect opportunity for the com-
panies to be more generous with
their workers — who had given
up raises just a few years ago
when times were tough.
Frustrated by the lack of prog-
ress in negotiations, about
31,000 steelworkers at the com-
panies voted last month to au-
thorize a strike. Though there
were signs Wednesday that they
could reach an agreement, if the

In the midst of an auction for

raffe mascot, Geoffrey, while con-
sidering “a new, operating Toys R
negotiations break down, it
could bring about the industry’s
first major work stoppage in four
decades.
‘This will not last forever’
The steel industry was already
in a period of renewal when
Trump slapped 25 percent tariffs
on steel imports. Trump acted in
the name of national security,
though he later justified the
move as a way to help the steel
industry rebuild.
The industry was enjoying
gains driven by a strong econo-
my, high demand to fix bridges
and infrastructure after several
major natural disasters, and an
effort by President Barack
Obama to limit steel imports
from China.
The tariffs sent the price of
steel surging more than 33 per-
cent.
“We have a strong U.S. expo-
sure; clearly we are a net benefi-
ciary of the trade actions,” Aditya
Mittal, chief financial officer of
ArcelorMittal, said in August,
according to Bloomberg News.
“It’s great to see the two things
come together, the improve-
ments we have made as a compa-
ny as well as the improvements
in the market.”
Trump has repeatedly cited
the gains as one of the biggest
upsides of his trade policy. After
he visited the Granite City plant,
video circulated of a steelworker
being brought to tears by news of
the plant’s expansion.
“Trump has supercharged [the
sector] with broad-based tariffs,”

analyst at KeyBanc Capital Mar-
kets.

The potentially revived compa-

as well as expand its internation-
jobs and boost corporate bottom
lines, whether it can overcome
longer-term factors affecting the
livelihoods of steelworkers re-
mains to be seen.
“Any reasonable observer who
just goes on the economic facts
will say: ‘This will not last for-
ever,’ ” said Steven Kyle, an eco-
nomics professor at Cornell Uni-
versity. “The tariff will temporar-
ily make them more profitable.
But we all know it could end at
any time.”
Those longer-term trends help
explain why, even during one of
the best periods for the steel
industry in recent memory, the
negotiations between organized
labor and steel companies here
grew tense.
In its latest offer, U.S. Steel
said it would give workers an
immediate raise of 4 percent,
followed by 3 percent annual
raises later on. By the usual
standards, that would be a good
deal.
But at the same time, the
company said it is wrestling with
soaring health-care costs in the
long run. The company said its
health-care costs are projected to
rise to $20,000 per employee by
2019 and that it needs to start
asking workers to absorb some of
those — namely by paying $145
per month for health care. Work-
ers haven’t paid premiums in the
past.
The proposal represents “an
incredible value under the Com-
pany’s current proposal,” said
Meghan Cox, a company spokes-
woman.
But to the union, it was an
upsetting plan. It would reduce
the overall wage increase to just
about 1.7 percent over nine years.

Senate approves FAA reauthorization
BY A SHLEY H ALSEY III
The Senate on Wednesday gave
final approval to a long-sought
five-year reauthorization for the
Federal Aviation Administration,
sending the legislation to the
White House for President
Trump’s signature.
The bill passed the Senate by a
93-to-6 vote after six extensions
that kept the FAA’s funding at a
level first set in 2012. The most
recent of them came last week as
lawmakers were in turmoil over
Supreme Court nominee Brett M.
Kavanaugh. Lawmakers circled
back a day after Thursday’s tu-
multuous Kavanaugh hearing to
extend funding for a week so that
the FAA did not run out of cash.
“This is something we’ve been
trying to do for many years,” said
Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.),
noting that a five-year bill had
not been passed since the 1980s.
“It’s really a big, major deal.”
In addition to keeping pro-
grams such as the $36 billion
NextGen program afloat and pay-
ing the FAA’s 14,000 air traffic
controllers, the bill tweaks airline
regulations, sets additional
guidelines for drone aircraft and
provides funding for the Trans-
portation Security Administra-
tion.
It also strives to make flying a
more pleasant experience for air-
line passengers. The bill:
• Bars airlines from bumping a
passenger who has been seated
on the airplane.
• Requires the FAA to set
minimums for seat width and the
distance between rows of seats.
• Says that passengers must be
allowed to check strollers when
flying with a small child and that
pregnant passengers can board
ahead of others.
• Lets the Transportation De-
partment determine whether air-
lines are shading the truth when
they say “that a flight is delayed
or canceled due to weather alone”

than underneath the flier’s seat.
• Creates a position of aviation
consumer advocate.
• Gives flight attendants a
10-hour rest period between
flights, rather than eight hours,
from the time their flight touches
down until their next takeoff.
• Instructs the secretary of
transportation to create an “Air-
line Passengers with Disabilities
Bill of Rights” to ensure that they
are treated with dignity and re-
spect, that their wheelchairs or
other necessary equipment are
accommodated, and that they
receive appropriate seat assign-
ments.
• Prohibits cellphone calls on
planes.
“Keeping phone conversations
off commercial flights may not be
enshrined in the Constitution,
but surely it is enshrined in

lobbies from those who wander
around shouting personal details
into their phones: babbling
about next week’s schedule, or-

A provision that could have
curbed airline fees was cut from
the bill in the House-Senate con-

mented Tuesday by one of the
provision’s authors.
“The airline lobby knew they
could count on Congress to do
their bidding,” said Sen. Edward
J. Markey (D-Mass.), who voted
against the measure. “This is
price gouging in its purest form.”
The bill sent to the White
House also instructs the FAA to
prepare for a return to superson-
ic air travel and to create an
Office of Spaceports. The office
would provide oversight for the
state and local concerns that have
been launching rockets, most of
them privately owned, into space.
The FAA also is instructed to
provide greater regulation of
drones. The bill would allow the
government to shoot down a
drone that “is identified as high-
risk and a potential target for
unlawful unmanned aircraft ac-
tivity.”
It provides grants for airports
and allows them to use third-par-
ty facilities to train bomb-sniffing
dogs rather than relying solely on
federal training facilities.
“Yes, they are a deterrent in
and of themselves,” Sen. Maria
Cantwell (D-Wash.) said on the
Senate floor, in reference to the
trained dogs, “and they help us
speed up lines, but they also are
there to detect the use of explo-
sives or other materials, and they
are doing an unbelievable job.”
The bill also tells the FAA to
take a thorough look at cockpit
security, considering whether a
protective screen might be put in
place when pilots use the rest-
room at the front of the plane.
An amendment to the bill also
creates a $1.68 billion relief fund
for those affected by Hurricane
Florence and other natural disas-

strict the cross-border transfer of
information, including personal
information” for business purpos-
es, reads the text of the provisional
deal signed Sunday between Can-
ada, the United States and Mexico.
It adds that no member country
can require a company to store
“computing facilities” on its soil.
These measures mean aban-
doning rights that Canadians have
often seen as privacy bulwarks
against their powerful southern
neighbor, especially in the
post-9/11 era, in which sweeping
legislation has given government
agencies wide latitude to surveil
individuals.
Physically storing Canadians’
data on their own land — a rela-
tively common practice — kept it
safe, some believed, from Ameri-
can surveillance agencies or from
American police warrants.
This week, some Canadian data
experts criticized the new kind of
free trade, saying it undermines
Canadian sovereignty.
But those deeply involved in the
debate say it is also more compli-
cated than most citizens realize. In
the era of big data, the importance
of location is not yet clear, they say,
and fears inspired by post-9/11
surveillance are outdated.
“I think, realistically, if you’re
looking at superpower intelli-
gence agencies, they would be able
to access the data regardless of
whether it’s stored in a server in
Toronto or in Chicago,” said Omer
Tene, vice president of the
U.S.-based International Associa-
tion of Privacy Professionals.
“There’s very close collaboration
between intelligence agencies,
and they can overcome bigger
technological obstacles than [the
border].”
The trade deal, the successor to
the 1993 North American Free
Trade Agreement, marks the first
time the two countries have for-
mally negotiated data’s role in
trade.
Practically speaking, the new
regulations will not cause much
immediate change, experts say.
Many Canadian contracts have
asked for or encouraged local data
storage, particularly federal gov-
U.S. government access to Ca-
nadian data is equally complicat-
ed, he said. Much Canadian data
would not be “particularly inter-
esting” to U.S. agencies.
In any case, the location of a
data facility is secondary in those
situations, too. “It could be held by
a U.S. company in a Canadian data
center and the U.S. company is still
subject to U.S. law.”
Privacy aside, the flow of data is
an important trade issue. Requir-
ing local data storage in Canada,

smaller Canadian firm — can pre-

That pace of change, however, is
what worries the Canadian critics
of the new trade provisions.
Regular people are only begin-
ning to understand the data trail
they create, and governments are
only beginning to adjust. In the
past few years, for example, the
European Union has created bar-
riers around its citizens’ data, in-
cluding rules governing where it
can be stored.
The USMCA limits Canadian
provincial governments’ ability to
fine-tune their policies in the fu-
ture, said Michael Geist, an expert
in privacy and digital law at the
University of Ottawa.
“As there is growing concern
around personal information and

governments to establish those
kinds of restrictions or require-

he said. “Which is one of the rea-

Honda and GM partner for ‘ultimate’ challenge: A new autonomous vehicle

General Motors says
product will be made for
‘global deployment’
BY P ETER H OLLEY
Cruise Automation, a self-
driving-car subsidiary of General
Motors, is rushing to create a new
autonomous vehicle with the help
of one of the largest names in the
automotive industry.
Honda said it will invest
$2.75 billion into Cruise’s autono-
mous vehicle operations over the
next 12 years, an infusion that
arrives several months after the
Japanese firm SoftBank an-
nounced a $2.25 billion invest-
ment in the company.
Both investments bring the
four-year-old Cruise’s valuation to
a whopping $14.6 billion, General
Motors said in a news release
Wednesday. Cruise Automation is
already building a fleet of autono-
mous vehicles that could hit
American streets as early as next
year.
Company officials were short
on details about the new vehicle,
but in a statement published on
Medium, Cruise chief executive
Kyle Vogt said the massive
Japanese automaker will work
jointly with Cruise and GM to
develop an “innovative, space-
efficient autonomous vehicle”
that “minimizes congestion on
crowded city streets.”
In an interview Wednesday
morning on Cheddar Live, Vogt
said Honda brings experience in
“space efficient design.” He de-
clined to offer a timeline for the
new vehicle’s release and said that
his company is “moving as quickly
as we possibly can.”
GM noted that the vehicle will
be manufactured at high volume
“for global deployment.”
“Shouldn’t the car of the future
have giant TV screens, a mini bar,
and lay-flat seats?” Vogt’s state-
ment said. “Maybe it should.
We’ve been quietly prototyping a
groundbreaking new vehicle over
the past two years that is fully
released from the constraints of
having a driver behind the wheel.
“Building a new vehicle that
has an incredible user experience,
optimal operational parameters,
and efficient use of space is the
ultimate engineering challenge,”
the statement added.
The funding arrives nearly
10 months after GM unveiled the
Cruise AV — a fourth-generation
autonomous vehicle based on a
Chevy Bolt EV that lacks a steering
wheel, pedals and manual con-
trols that have come to define the
experience of riding inside an au-
tomobile for more than a century.
“Autonomous vehicles are not
simply a Silicon Valley-based
dream,” Zo Rahim, research man-
ager at the automotive media
company Cox Automotive told
CNN Money after Wednesday’s
announcement. “Current auto
manufacturers are primed to dic-
tate the direction and growth of
the future of mass mobility.”
GM is already testing second-
and third-generation self-driving
Cruise AVs on busy streets in San
Francisco and Phoenix with a hu-
man engineer in the vehicle. They
rely on cameras, radar and high-
precision laser sensors known as
lidar for navigation. The fourth
generation of that vehicle will be
used in a ride-sharing program in
multiple American cities, where
“the vehicles will travel on a fixed
route controlled by their mapping
system,” Bloomberg News report-
ed.
The partnership with Cruise is
not the first time Honda and GM
have teamed up. The automakers
recently began collaborating on
electric car battery technology as
part of a multiyear agreement,
according to GM.
In the company’s news release,
Mary Barra, GM’s chairman and
chief executive, called the latest
partnership with Honda a “logical
step” given their joint work on
electric vehicles.
“Together, we can provide
Cruise with the world’s best de-
sign, engineering and manufac-
turing expertise, and global reach
to establish them as the leader in
autonomous vehicle technology
— while they move to deploy self-
driving vehicles at scale.”
In his statement on Medium,
Vogt said the vehicle produced
with Honda is “what comes next.”
A teaser image produced along-
side the blog post appeared to
show a futuristic-looking, black
and silver vehicle that vaguely re-
sembles the front of a bullet train.
“We’re going to do this right,
and by joining forces with Honda
we’ve found the perfect partner to
help make it happen,” Vogt added.

Sanders unveils legislation that
would break up Wall Street giants
BY J EFF S TEIN
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on
Wednesday unveiled legislation
that would place a hard cap on
the size of financial institutions,
a proposal that would splinter
Wall Street’s biggest firms in an
effort to ward off future taxpayer
bailouts.
The measure is dead on arrival
with a Republican Congress and
President Trump in office. Even if
the current Democratic Party
were to take control of govern-
ment, it would face a difficult
path to passage, as many of the
party’s moderates have opted for
answers to the banking crisis
that did less to alter the financial
system.
Sanders’s bill would bar finan-
cial institutions from holding
assets, derivatives and other
forms of borrowing worth more
than 3 percent of the entire U.S.
economy. That would cap their
size at $584 billion in today’s
dollars.
The legislation would force
federal regulators to break up six
different Wall Street firms —
JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi-
group, Wells Fargo, Goldman
Sachs and Morgan Stanley — as
well as insurance giants such as
Prudential Financial and
MetLife. Collectively, the target-
ed firms hold more than $13 tril-
lion in assets, according to Sand-
ers aides.
Despite its unlikelihood of
passing in the near term, the
measure could become a marker
for Democrats seeking support
from the party’s progressive vot-
ers, much like a single-payer,
universal health-care system has
become.
Sanders touts the plan as a
way to prevent a repeat of the
financial crisis of a decade ago,
when banks on the edge of col-
lapse were large enough that
their failures would rock the
fundamentals of the global finan-
cial system. In response, the
federal government extended the

banks massive loans, a move
largely credited with blunting
the crisis but that also gave
government funding to wealthy
individuals at a time when un-
employment was soaring and
thousands were losing their
homes.
“We spent huge amounts of
money bailing them out, and
they are significantly larger now
than they were back then,” Sand-
ers said in an interview. “It’s time
we return to that discussion,
especially now for the 10th anni-
versary” of the crash.
In response to the crisis, Dem-
ocrats narrowly passed a broad
banking law that was meant to
ensure that “too big to fail” banks
took steps to ward off failure,
subjecting the largest firms to
more stringent restrictions
aimed at limiting their risk.
The 2010 Wall Street reform
law, signed by President Barack
Obama, had 16 separate chapters
and ran more than 2,300 pages
long. Sanders’s measure runs
seven pages and, instead, goes
after the size of banks, arguing
firms of that size pose an inher-
ent risk to the economy.
Sanders’s plan was criticized
by some analysts and allies of the
financial industry, who pointed
to dramatic improvements in the
capital cushions that banks now
hold to ward against collapse.
Dodd-Frank, Obama’s banking
law, put new capital require-
ments into effect for the largest
financial institutions.
The Financial Services Forum,
a D.C.-based lobbying firm that
represents large financial ser-
vices companies, said in a state-
ment that legislation “to address
so-called too big to fail” banks
risked ignoring the role these
banks play in supporting the
global economy. The group rep-
resents banks targeted by Sand-
ers’s legislation, such as Bank of
America, Citi, JPMorgan and
Goldman Sachs.
“To have a large, strong econo-
my that supports households and
EZ RE
PowerPost
businesses big and small, you
must have large, strong, global
banks,” Kevin Fromer, president
and chief executive of the Finan-
cial Services Forum, wrote in an
email. “The banking industry
and governments around the
globe have made enormous
strides during the past decade to
ensure that large banks are safe
and sound and that no institu-
tion is too big to fail. Policymak-
ers must neither ignore the prog-
ress that has been made nor the
essential role of large financial
institutions in our economy.”
Sen. Sherrod Brown (Ohio),
the top Democrat on the Senate
Banking Committee, has also
proposed legislation capping the
size of U.S. banks. Sanders’s bill
uses a broader measure than
Brown’s bill to capture the size of
the bank, which means Sanders’s
legislation would force more
banks to have to shrink by a
greater margin, said Johnson,
the MIT economist. (Brown’s bill
came before the Federal Reserve
recently began publishing a new
estimate of banks’ “total expo-
sure,” which factored in borrow-
ing that does not apply on finan-
cial balance sheets.)
But the bill may also form the
cornerstone of future Democrat-
ic banking legislation, as the
party has moved toward a raft of
populist left-leaning ideas, in-
cluding Medicare-for-all and free
tuition at public universities.
Robert Hockett, a professor at
Cornell University who specializ-
es in banking issues and helped
draft Sanders’s “too big to fail”
legislation, said the measure may
more easily garner public sup-
port and offers a significant im-
provement on previous banking
legislation.
“Like Obamacare, Dodd-Frank
is very long, very nuanced, and
very difficult to explain to peo-
ple,” Hockett said, referring to
the Affordable Care Act. “It’s so
much easier to explain Sanders’s
bill.”

Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), credited with being an important driver of the response to the opioid
crisis, said the day before the Senate vote: “I think it’s overdue. I’m disappointed it took us this long.”
Senate passes sweeping bill
to combat opioid epidemic
Adopted with bipartisan
support, legislation now
goes to Trump’s desk
BY C OLBY I TKOWITZ
The Senate passed the final
version of a sweeping opioids
package Wednesday afternoon
and will send it to the White
House just in time for lawmakers
to campaign on the issue before
the November midterm elections.
The vote was 98 to 1, with only
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) opposing
it.
The bill unites dozens of small-
er proposals sponsored by hun-
dreds of lawmakers, many of
whom face tough reelection
THE WASHINGTON POST
fights. It creates, expands and
reauthorizes programs and pol-
icies across almost every federal
agency to address different as-
pects of the opioid epidemic, in-
cluding prevention, treatment
and recovery.
It is one of Congress’s most
significant legislative achieve-
ments this year, a rare bipartisan
response to a growing public
health crisis that resulted in
72,000 overdose deaths last year.
And the across-the-aisles effort
comes at an especially rancorous
time on Capitol Hill as senators
debate Brett M. Kavanaugh’s
nomination to the Supreme
Court.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio),
who sounded the alarm on opioid
addiction four years ago, is credit-
ed with the slice of the bill that
could have the greatest effect. It
will require the U.S. Postal Service
to screen packages for fentanyl
shipped from overseas, mainly
China. Synthetic opioids such as
fentanyl that are difficult to de-
tect are increasingly being found
in pills and heroin and are re-
sponsible for an increase in over-
dose deaths.
“I will say getting that passed,
to me, is just common sense. I
think it’s overdue. I’m disappoint-
ed it took us this long,” Portman
said in a floor speech Tuesday.
“How many people had to die
before Congress stood up and did
the right thing with regard to
telling our own post office you
have to provide better screen-
ing?”
On Wednesday, just before the
vote, he called it a “glimmer of
hope.”
The bill’s passage comes a year
after President Trump declared
the opioid crisis a national emer-
gency. The Senate vote is the last
step before he signs the measure
into law. The House passed it on a
393-to-8 vote last week.
Public health advocates lauded
the bill’s increased attention to
treatment, which they say is the
key component to overcoming
addiction. The legislation would
create a grant program for com-
prehensive recovery centers that
include housing and job training,
as well as care for mental and
physical health. It would increase
access to medication-assisted
Utah man arrested in connection
to suspicious mail sent to Pentagon
BY M ISSY R YAN
AND D EVLIN B ARRETT
The FBI on Wednesday arrest-
ed a Utah man suspected in an
episode that federal officials ini-
tially believed was a mail attack
using ricin, a deadly poison, but
that they later determined in-
volved sending castor seeds to
senior government officials.
A spokeswoman for the U.S.
attorney in Utah said federal
prosecutors authorized a proba-
ble cause arrest of William Clyde
Allen III, 39, and plan to file
formal charges against him in
federal court on Friday.
Capt. Tyson Budge, spokes-
man for the police department in
the town of Logan, Utah, said
federal agents took the man into
custody at his home Wednesday
afternoon.

disclosed that suspicious packag-
es were detected earlier in the

treatment that helps people with
substance abuse disorders safely
wean themselves.
Another major aspect of the
bill is a change to an arcane,
decades-old rule that prohibited
Medicaid from covering patients
with substance abuse disorders
who were receiving treatment in
a mental health facility with more
than 16 beds. The bill lifts that
rule to allow for 30 days of resi-
dential treatment coverage.
The opioid crisis has hit com-
munities big and small, rural and
urban, in states red and blue.
Some believe that lawmakers fo-
cused on it in part because they
wanted to claim an election-year
win.
Although it contains provi-
sions that help address the prob-
lem, it does not dedicate the level
of funding and long-term com-
mitment needed to fight a crisis of
this magnitude, many experts say.
“This legislation edges us clos-
er to treating addiction as the
devastating disease it is, but it
neglects to provide the long-term
investment we’ve seen in re-
sponses to other major public
health crises,” said Lindsey Vuolo,
associate director of health law
and policy at Center on Addic-
tion. “We won’t be able to make
meaningful progress against the
tide of addiction unless we make
significant changes to incorpo-
rate addiction treatment into the
existing health care system.”
Congress has appropriated
$8.5 billion this year for opioid-
related programs, but there’s no
guarantee of funding for subse-
quent years. Sen. Elizabeth War-
ren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Elijah E.
Cummings (D-Md.) have pro-
posed committing $100 billion
over 10 years to fighting the opi-
oid crisis.
Their bill is modeled on Con-
gress’s response to HIV/AIDS.
“I hope Congress doesn’t think
they can put this behind them
because they passed these bills,”
said Patrick Kennedy, a former
Democratic congressman from
Rhode Island and a mental health
advocate. “It takes an urgency like
we had during HIV-AIDS. That
will call to mind what it takes to
address a crisis, it takes political
will.”

two envelopes addressed to De-

Dana White, chief Pentagon

stance detected on the two enve-
lopes addressed for Mattis and
Richardson, which were found at
a Defense Department facility in
Northern Virginia, contained the
seeds, which are used to make
ricin, but which themselves are
not dangerous.
Ricin, typically used as a poi-
son in mist, pellet or powder
form, is created as a by-product
of processing castor beans. The
beans can be harmful if chewed
or swallowed, according to the
Centers for Disease Control and

DANA MILBANK
WASHINGTON SKETCH
That glow
won’t be from
being happy
T
his news makes me feel warm all
over. Indeed, I am positively
glowing.
New regulations floated by
the Environmental Protection Agency
are set to increase Americans’ exposure
to radiation — because, according to sci-
entific theory now in favor with the
Trump administration, radiation is not
bad for us. It may even be healthy!
The Associated Press reports this
week: “The EPA is pursuing rule
changes that experts say would weaken
the way radiation exposure is regulat-
ed, turning to scientific outliers who ar-
gue that a bit of radiation damage is
actually good for you — like a little bit
of sunlight.”
In addition to the proposed rule, the
AP reports, the EPA edited its online
guidelines, which had cited “some can-
cer risk from any exposure to radiation,”
to say radiation exposures up to the
equivalent of 25 chest X-rays “usually re-
sult in no harmful health effects, be-
cause radiation below these levels is a
minor contributor to our overall cancer
risk.”
The administration, in a news release
and in testimony, is relying on Univer-
sity of Massachusetts at Amherst toxi-
cologist Edward Calabrese and others
who “argue that smaller exposures of
cell-damaging radiation and other car-
cinogens can serve as stressors that acti-
vate the body’s repair mechanisms and
can make people healthier. They com-
pare it to physical exercise or sunlight.”
This radiates reassurance!
Soon, people will be measuring their
health regimens not with step counters
but with Geiger counters. I’m going to
get a whole-body CT scan just to boost
my millisieverts. Instead of exercising
each day, I’ll sleep with a running micro-
wave on my nightstand.
Even better, the same rules will ap-
parently apply to chemicals. We can skip
the organic produce and, instead, con-
sume the low-dose pesticides our bodies
need to heal themselves. For added lon-
gevity, I suggest Raid salad dressing.
As I understand it — and it is possible
my brain is impaired by having too few
X-rays — the idea being elevated by the
Trump administration is that the cur-
rent model (the LNT, or “linear no-
threshold” model) is wrong when it says
any radiation exposure is bad. The new
approach — let’s call it the NBD, or “No
Big Deal” model — assumes that stuff
that kills us at high doses might be good
for us at low doses.
The Trump administration appears to
be deploying the NBD model to resolve
other problems, such as climate change.
The Post’s Juliet Eilperin, Brady Den-
nis and Chris Mooney reported last
week that the administration has decid-
ed it is really no problem to freeze feder-
al fuel-efficiency standards, though this
would increase greenhouse-gas emis-
sions. Why? Because, the administration
reasons, the planet’s temperature is al-
ready set to rise by 7 degrees Fahrenheit
by the end of the century — so a little bit
more warming will hardly matter.
The administration allows that “sea-
level rise is higher under the proposed
action,” but “this leads to very small dif-
ferences in these effects.” And if Manhat-
tan is already going to be underwater,
let’s not quibble over “small differences.”
The NBD model, properly applied,
could resolve many thorny issues:
For example, the sexual misconduct
allegations against Supreme Court nom-
inee Brett M. Kavanaugh have divided
the country. But under the NBD model,
there is no problem here: Even accept-
ing as true the allegations of all three of
Kavanaugh’s accusers, this means Ka-
vanaugh mistreated only 0.000002 per-
cent of all women in America — and
there’s only a “small difference” between
that and zero.
Likewise, there are 2.3 million people
incarcerated in the United States. Even
if special counsel Robert S. Mueller III
were to secure prison sentences for ev-
erybody who worked on the Trump cam-
paign, it would make such a “small dif-
ference” in the prison system that there
is no point in having this witch hunt at
all.
Similarly, the failing New York Times
reports that President Trump received
$413 million in current dollars from his
father, not the $1 million loan he
claimed, and he got much of that for-
tune because of tax dodges. But using
the NBD model, we see that even if
Trump paid the entire amount, it would
make only a “small difference” in retir-
ing the U.S. debt of $21.6 trillion.
The NBD model also proves there is
no use in gun control, because even
eliminating all 13,000 annual deaths
from firearm assaults would make only
a “small difference” compared with the
2.7 million Americans who die each year
from all causes.
In a broader sense, it makes but a
small difference if Trump blows up alli-
ances and falls in love with the North
Korean dictator. With that 7-degree in-
crease, we’re all going to be underwater
soon, anyway.
And if he nukes someone, so much the
better. We could all use the radiation.

Why I stepped down
as an ambassador
BY J AMES D . M ELVILLE J R.
W
hen you serve as U.S. am-
bassador to a foreign capi-
tal, you represent your
country, of course. But you
are also the personal representative of
the president. Professionalism de-
mands that career foreign service offi-
cers — like career military officers —
follow the orders and pursue the
policies of our elected civilian
leadership.
If you cannot do that, the honorable
and right thing to do is resign. That is
what I did in July, when I stepped
down as U.S. ambassador to Estonia.
Now, with my formal departure this
week from the U.S. Foreign Service
after 33 years, I can more fully explain
why.
Service in the diplomatic corps and
the military are alike in another key
respect. In both worlds, a special
burden attaches to any individual in
leadership. Within both hierarchies,
each of which bears a share of respon-
sibility for conducting U.S. foreign
policy, those in leadership roles can —
and should — advocate the policies
and strategies they believe in.
Along with many colleagues in the
executive and legislative branches, I
devoted tremendous energy and time
trying to convince officials in the new
administration of the importance of
our NATO alliance. When then-
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was
going to skip the first NATO foreign
ministerial meeting of his tenure, I
made sure Washington knew what a

A surprising Middle East good-news story

magine 125 million refugees flooding
into the United States (population:
328 million). That is what Lebanon
has experienced on a per capita basis.
Since 2011, this nation of 4 million people
has seen an influx of some 1.5 million
refugees fleeing the Syrian civil war next
door. “I find it a miracle this country
hasn’t exploded,” a Western diplomat told
me last week. “Most countries would
never have allowed this to happen.”
This is the dog that didn’t bark —
perhaps the most surprising good-news
story in the Middle East. Lebanon has
always been on the verge of collapse
because of divisions among Sunnis, Shi-
ites, Druze and Christians. In 1975, the
growing power of Palestinian refugees
upset the delicate sectarian balance and
triggered a civil war that ended only in
1990, when the Syrian regime of Hafez
al-Assad occupied the country.
In 2011, when a rebellion broke out
against Assad’s son, Bashar al-Assad,
Lebanon could not remain aloof. Hezbol-
lah, the Shiite militia, sent fighters to save
the Alawite-dominated Syrian regime.
(Alawism is a Shiite sect.) Sunni extrem-
ists retaliated with terrorist attacks in
Lebanon. It was easy to imagine the
Syrian civil war engulfing this small
Mediterranean nation. But it didn’t hap-
pen. Why not?
Part of the answer has to do with
searing memories of the Lebanese civil
war. None of the sectarian groups want to
revisit that nightmare. Though Lebanon’s
government is often paralyzed by politi-
cal gridlock, it has continued to function
— and, at least when it comes to the
security services, to function effectively.
The Lebanese Armed Forces, buttressed
by U.S. aid, have coordinated with Hez-
bollah, buttressed by Iranian aid, in a
campaign to clear Islamic State and
al-Qaeda militants out of their strong-
holds along the Syrian border. But Leba-

president, working through the execu-
tive branch, sets U.S. foreign policy.
This spring, I reached the point
where I could no longer support Presi-
dent Trump’s policies and rhetoric
regarding NATO, our European allies
and Russia.
What do I believe? I am extremely
uncomfortable with the trade policies
the United States is pursuing. I also
believe it is a historic mistake to cozy
up to Russian President Vladimir
Putin.
It is in the United States’ funda-
mental interests to champion a rules-
based world order. After the dark
years of World War II, we worked in
accordance with our values to pursue,
nurture and achieve a peaceful and
prosperous world. The great global
and transatlantic institutions —
NATO, the United Nations and, to an
extent that would surprise many of
my fellow citizens, even the European
Union — are the fruits of policies
carried out and resources expended
by the United States over decades.
The refusal of the United States to
give up on Estonia’s independence
through the entire Soviet occupation
is the cornerstone of Estonians’ deep
appreciation for America. But it is the
values of our nation and the leader-
ship and role we have played in pro-
tecting the democracies in Europe
that give them the confidence to stand
up to the genuine threats emanating
from their eastern neighbor.
There is an old proverb that says, “If
you want to go fast, go alone. If you
want to go far, go together.” That is the
principle the United States has fol-
lowed for decades and, while there are
still many problems to be grappled
with, it is why the world is as peaceful
and prosperous as it is.
non could never have coped with the
refugee influx were it not for the support
of the United Nations — and in particular
of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refu-
gees (UNHCR), the world body’s refugee
agency.
“If UNHCR weren’t taking the lead, it
would have catastrophic repercussions,”
Bassil Hujeiri, the mayor of Arsal, told
me. Hujeiri should know: His town of
40,000 in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon’s
north has been inundated by 40,000 Syr-
ian refugees. It also became a base for
Syrian jihadists who terrorized the locals
before finally being routed in a military
offensive. The newcomers put a severe
strain on already inadequate infrastruc-
ture, especially electricity, garbage collec-
tion, housing and water treatment. The
Lebanese state lacked the resources to
cope; even in Beirut, the electricity regu-
larly flickers off. Enter UNHCR, which
invited a small group of U.S. policy
analysts last week on a tour of its Leba-
nese operations from Tyre in the south to
Tripoli in the north.
UNHCR and its partners help provide
housing, medical care, education, food
and, in some cases, modest cash stipends
to the desperately poor refugees, two-
thirds of whom live on less than $4 a day.
There are no sprawling tent cities here.
Refugees live in threadbare, cinder-block
apartment buildings and small clusters
of tented structures scattered across the
country. This means they will not be-
come a state within a state as the
Palestinians did, but it also spreads the
burden of coping with their needs to
every municipality.
It’s easy to bash the United Nations, as
President Trump did before the General
Assembly last week. There is much to
criticize, from wasteful spending to anti-
Israel rhetoric. But in Lebanon — which
has one of the highest number, per capita,
of U.N. aid workers in the world — the
global organization is performing an in-

The U.N. agencies present here range
from the U.N. Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees, which runs
12 Palestinian refugee camps, to the
U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon, an
11,000-strong peacekeeping force that
serves as a buffer between Israel and
Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. No
agency has been more important in
recent years than UNHCR, which has
taken the lead in coping with the 5.6 mil-
lion refugees who have fled Syria, pri-
marily to Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon,
as well as more than 6 million internally
displaced people in Syria.
UNHCR will be needed here for years
to come. The Syrian refugees I met
expressed a desire to return to their
homeland — eventually. But even with
the war waning, as Assad consolidates his
authority with Russian and Iranian help,
few are willing to risk an immediate
return. They fear detention in Assad’s
torture chambers or conscription in his
brutal army.
The United States could ameliorate
the refugee problem by taking in more of
the Syrians, but the Trump administra-
tion cruelly refuses to do so. (Total

non admitted to the United States this
year: one, according to UNHCR.) Failing
that, the United States has a moral and
strategic imperative to support UNHCR
and other humanitarian agencies. And,
despite the president’s isolationist senti-
ments, Washington is continuing to do
just that: The United States was
UNHCR’s biggest donor in 2017. Thanks
to bipartisan support in Congress, that
support is likely to remain constant this
year. It is money well spent to alleviate
suffering, prevent the radicalization of
the refugees and avert the disintegration
of the fragile Lebanese state.

Justice
poorly served
A
s the saga of Judge Brett M. Ka-
vanaugh’s Supreme Court nomina-
tion wears on, I’m thinking more
and more about Hawaii. Partly be-
cause Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) has
been one of Kavanaugh’s chief antagonists.
But also because of what I learned there
about crime and punishment.
Six years ago, I went to Hawaii to study
an emerging crime-fighting strategy
known as “swift, certain and fair.” It partly
originated in an innovative probation pro-
gram called Hawaii’s Opportunity Proba-
tion with Enforcement.
The probation program offered an inter-
esting revision of the “tough on crime”
school of U.S. politics, which had spent
decades ratcheting up prison terms and
weakening protections for defendants.
Judge Steven S. Alm, the program’s founder,
recognized that this strategy wasn’t merely
cruel and costly but also didn’t work.
Incarceration in the United States was
rising, but the likelihood of getting caught
for any given crime remained quite low,
resulting in what policy analyst Mark
Kleiman has dubbed “randomized draconi-
anism.” Usually when someone committed
a crime, nothing happened, and then one
day – surprise! – the exact same behavior
resulted in a hefty prison term.
As any parent can tell you, harsh punish-
ments unevenly applied don’t effectively
curb misbehavior; they seem less a conse-
quence of personal choices than the fickle
hand of fate. That’s unlikely to inspire a
change of heart. And the harsher that
punishment is, the more you resent the
authority imposing it. So excessively harsh
punishment is less effective at deterring or
rehabilitating offenders than it is at perpet-
uating the poverty and community break-
down in which crime flourishes.
Hawaii’s Opportunity Probation with
Enforcement program turned this strategy
on its head. Clear rules were laid down,
surveillance was increased, and every sin-
gle violation of terms of probation was
punished. But punishment was light, often
as little as a couple of nights in jail. By
connecting punishment directly to crime,
the justice system could be both more
humane and more effective at reducing
recidivism; these probationers were half as
likely as traditional ones to have their
probation revoked.
Why would this remind me of Ka-
vanaugh? He’s not facing jail time, making
the right’s cries of “beyond a reasonable
doubt” rather a non sequitur. But the left’s
retort — “This is a job interview, not a trial”
— also seems inapt. Kavanaugh is on trial in
the court of public opinion, and something
like half the country has already convicted.
Kavanaugh is unlikely ever to resume
anything resembling his former life. He has
withdrawn from teaching at Harvard Law
School, endured death threats and under-
gone a humiliating public inquiry into his
high school years. And if Democrats regain
control of Congress in November, there may
be more and worse to come; progressive
activists are calling for his impeachment.
That’s clearly a form of punishment,
however informal or extrajudicial. But the
punishment seems far from swift, certain
or fair, based on decades-old accusations
without contemporaneous corroboration,
aired solely due to political contingencies,
urged on by a left avid to convict him of
something.
Which may explain Kavanaugh’s rage
during last Thursday’s Senate Judiciary
Committee hearing — and why furious
conservatives rallied around him rather
than tossing him to the wolves and substi-
tuting another nominee. The left may still
be arguing about the standards for putting
someone on the Supreme Court, but the
right is now conducting a public referen-
dum on the rules for agreeing to wreck a
man’s life over accusations that cannot be
corroborated or conclusively disproven.
About a year after #MeToo began, we still
haven’t defined those rules in a rigorous,
broadly defensible way. The movement’s
proponents tend to seek the social and
economic equivalent of extremely harsh
sentences, upon the lowest standard of
proof — “I believe women.”
It’s an intuitive solution for offenses that
generally leave few witnesses and no hard
evidence. Those chanting “beyond a rea-
sonable doubt” should recognize that such
a high burden of proof inevitably makes
punishment too unlikely to effectively curb
vile abuse.
Yet so might the vague-but-strict ap-
proach. Right now, what counts as a sexual
offense rests heavily on subjective reactions
and hard-to-ascertain facts, such as exactly
how much alcohol an accuser might have
consumed. And the allegations could come
out immediately or years later, to be public-
ly adjudicated under shifting standards
impossible to predict.
The venomous Kavanaugh fight illus-
trates one reason that’s unworkable. The
harsher the penalty, the more proof people
will demand before imposing it. But Hawaii
offers another reason to be wary: The el-
ement of randomness makes for a weaker
deterrent.
If he weren’t a conservative Supreme
Court nominee, Kavanaugh would be fac-
ing none of this. Knowing that, do men
think, “Better treat women well”? Or do
they think, “Luckily, I’m not a fancy Repub-
lican lawyer”?
Perhaps, as feminists hope, we’ll end up
making men hypervigilant about possible
offenses. But another response seems at
least as likely: If you can’t control your fate,
why bother being good?

Mr. Trump makes a mockery — of himself
The president and his Supreme Court nominee aim low against Ms. Ford.
W
HITE HOUSE counselor Kellyanne Con-
way initially insisted — it seems like
months ago now, but it was only Sept. 17 —
that Christine Blasey Ford “should not be
insulted, and she should not be ignored.” President
Trump himself said last week that Ms. Ford’s testimo-
ny before the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which
she accused Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Ka-
vanaugh of sexually assaulting her, was “very compel-
ling.”
Now, Mr. Trump apparently sees more political
upside in belittling and insulting her. At a rally
Tuesday, the president mocked Ms. Ford’s answers to
the Judiciary Committee questions. “ ‘I don’t know. I
don’t know.’ ‘Upstairs? Downstairs? Where was it?’ ‘I
don’t know. But I had one beer. That’s the only thing I
remember,’ ” the president said.
No, that is not the only thing Ms. Ford remembers.
In her testimony she described vividly the room
where the alleged assault occurred, that she was
pushed from behind, that while Mr. Kavanaugh
allegedly groped her, attempted to remove her
A fortune built on
lies and scheming
The Times exposes how, for years,
Mr. Trump gamed the system.
I
N FEBRUARY 2016, then-presidential candidate
Donald Trump denied an opponent’s assertion
that he owed his business success to a $200 mil-
lion subsidy from his father, Fred Trump, a
wealthy New York developer. “I wish. I wish,”
Mr. Trump said. “I got a very, very small loan from my
father many years ago. I built that into a massive
empire and I paid my father back that loan.”
Anyone who still believes that tale should read the
New York Times’s exhaustive investigation docu-
menting the massive transfers of family wealth from
which Mr. Trump benefited starting during his early
childhood. The narrative of business brilliance upon
which President Trump has based his political ap-
peal now stands definitively debunked, like so many
of the other myths he has woven about himself.
Much more stunning — and disturbing — is the
newspaper’s detailed portrait of the legerdemain
through which the Trump family managed to trans-
fer income and wealth from a rich father to his son
(and other children) without paying gift taxes and
other taxes that might otherwise have been owed.
During the 1960s, Trump père awarded his children
shares in highly profitable buildings but grossly
undervalued the gifts on his tax returns. In 1992, the
Trump family set up a shell company to send inflated
bills to Fred Trump’s apartment buildings for main-
tenance and equipment, with the Trump children
pocketing the markup.
The Times reports this avoided federal taxes that
would have applied if the elder Mr. Trump had simply
given the cash to his children as a gift. As such, it may
have crossed the line between tax avoidance, which is
legal, and tax evasion, which is not. As Donald
Trump’s father’s death neared, the family made use of
a common form of trust to transfer ownership of his
real estate to Mr. Trump and other heirs; however, the
property’s values were systematically lowballed to
reduce tax liability. When an Internal Revenue Serv-
ice audit exposed the maneuver in 1995, the Trumps
negotiated a settlement that still left them many
millions of dollars richer than they would have been
if their initial statements to the government had been
Stemming the robocall flood
Scam calls from fake numbers are getting worse and worse. Time to make phone companies act.
M
OST PEOPLE agree it is impolite to call
someone during dinner, but robots are not
known for their social graces. A report
released last month predicts that by next
year, nearly half of all cellphone calls will come from
scammers. The question is, who is going to do
something about it?
New technologies allow rip-off artists to call
consumers from nonexistent or difficult-to-trace
numbers, sometimes even from abroad, with impu-
nity. The result: an astronomical rise in robocalls.
Over the past several years, the country has been
treated to money-hungry hucksters impersonating
the Internal Revenue Service, con men fooling
immigrants into thinking they face legal trouble,
and tricksters hawking nonexistent time-shares.
Tracking these criminals can be almost impossible,
and even success stories have taken a disheartening-

D.C. leaders should respect the will of the people on Initiative 77
According to his Sept. 30 Local Opinions essay,
“The flaw that Initiative 77 revealed,” former
D.C. mayor Anthony Williams thought the
D.C. Council should repeal Initiative 77. His rea-
sons seemed to be based on the undemocratic idea
that our elected leaders know better than the
people and that ultimate authority in our govern-
ment should lie with those leaders, not the people.
Mr. Williams pointed out that voter turnout in
the June primary was low. But a low turnout cannot
change the fact that Initiative 77 was hotly debated
and, after that debate, the voters by a fairly wide
margin adopted it. It demeans the thousands who
voted for it to suggest that their votes should not
count. He also noted that “practically the District’s
entire political establishment has lined up against”

not scream, she made plaintive eye contact with Mark
Judge, the other boy she said was in the room. She
described the boys’ laughter seared into her memory.
Experts say the details Ms. Ford recalls are the sorts
that sexual assault victims tend to remember and
that the circumstances she does not recall are also
typical for survivors of such attacks.
If you think the Democrats mishandled Ms. Ford’s
allegations, fine. If you think Mr. Kavanaugh’s high
school behavior is less relevant than his adult record,
fine again. But a decent human being could hold
those thoughts and make those arguments without
besmirching Ms. Ford, and without casting doubt
more generally on the memories and accounts of
assault survivors.
It is a fact that false accusations are exceedingly
rare, and no wonder: Who would choose lightly to
expose herself to the vile sort of mockery that
Mr. Trump is now deploying? Ms. Ford, we should
recall, raised concerns about Mr. Kavanaugh before
he was tapped, in the hopes that Mr. Trump might

valid, according to the Times.
And so on. Many wealthy families employ aggres-
sive tax-planning strategies. The practices described
in the Times article appear to go well beyond that
into methods that are, at best, unethical and, at
worst, unlawful. In addition to Treasury, victims
included tenants whose rents were jacked up to
offset the padded maintenance bills. The White
House and Mr. Trump’s lawyer denied any fraud or
tax evasion; a lawyer for the president noted that all
the relevant paperwork was prepared by profession-
als who vouched for its propriety. Mr. Trump’s
brother, Robert, who handled the estates of Fred
ly long time to play out.
Thankfully, the Federal Communications Com-
mission has stepped up its fight against unwanted
calls, which prompt more than half of its annual
consumer complaints. Changes include a rule autho-
rizing phone companies to block scammers before
they reach consumers by spotting invalid numbers
and an initiative to develop an authentication
system for caller ID — forcing those IRS imperson-
ators to ’fess up in real time.
But the success of these efforts hinges on techno-
logical innovation and the cooperation of phone
companies, neither of which can be counted upon.
Accurate authentication for calls is a technological
conundrum that so far no one has managed to solve.
And though companies are now authorized to
preempt scammers under the FCC’s rules, they are
not required to. That is cause for concern: Compa-
the initiative. Yet the people spoke and disagreed.
Mr. Williams also suggested that maybe initia-
tives by the people are not such a good idea. He was
right that initiatives can sometimes be a messy and
clumsy way to make laws; but that is true of
democracy itself.
D.C. residents don’t have their fair share of
democracy. The initiative process is one way
D.C. voters exercise their limited power. It is their
way of expressing the “consent of the governed”
that is at the heart of our democracy. The voters
gave their consent to Initiative 77. The political
establishment should respect that.

pick someone else equally qualified to sit on the
Supreme Court. She offered to take a lie-detector test,
something that cannot be said of Mr. Kavanaugh. She
welcomed an FBI inquiry, again in contrast to the
judge.
Mr. Kavanaugh fanned Mr. Trump’s insidious line
of attack when he charged last Thursday that “this
whole two-week effort has been a calculated and
orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent-
up anger about President Trump and the 2016 elec-
tion” and an act of “revenge on behalf of the Clintons.”
Whether Mr. Kavanaugh really believes this story or
just said it to impress Mr. Trump, it was an unfounded
smear. He, too, had an alternative; he could have
proclaimed his innocence without resorting to such
false accusations.
The judge’s conspiracy-mongering and Mr. Trump’s
mockery both serve to set back the nation’s progress in
understanding this kind of crime and will discourage
victims from coming forward. Maybe Mr. Trump sees
that as a plus. It certainly reveals more to the nation
about his character than about Ms. Ford’s.
Trump and his wife, noted that the IRS closed the
books on both more than a decade ago. For his part,
the president denounced the Times piece as a “very
old, boring and often told hit piece.”
The president’s tweet is consistent with past
utterances suggesting he is not terribly worried
about the appearance of impropriety. When Hillary
Clinton took him on during a 2016 debate for
refusing to release his individual tax returns, sug-
gesting that he had “paid nothing in federal taxes,”
Mr. Trump interjected, “That makes me smart.”
Beating the system, by fair means or foul, has
always been his ethos. And now he runs the system.
nies are also authorized but not required to help
Americans weather the unwanted ringing on their
own with call-blocking programs and, on that front,
they have fallen short. The services, which smart-
phone users can download from third parties, are
less accessible to landline-only households, and
even carriers that offer something similar often do
so only for a fee.
The FCC is right to make robocalls a priority, but
persistence will be essential. The rule updates so far
will not address the flood of non-spoof robocalls that
are still prohibited; to confront those violations, the
FCC should work with the Federal Trade Commis-
sion and Congress to craft a robust definition of an
autodialer and consider creating a licensing system
to aid with enforcement. The agency should also
mandate that companies crack down on robocalls,
instead of only allowing them to act.

A double standard on accusers
In the Sept. 27 Metro article “A loud #MeToo
voice is quiet on Kavanaugh,” Rep. Barbara
Comstock (R-Va.) declined to say whether she
believes a woman who has alleged that she was
sexually assaulted as a teenager by Brett M. Ka-
vanaugh, a friend of Ms. Comstock’s. The article
quoted Ms. Comstock’s campaign manager as
saying she “supports any alleged victim having a
fair process to be heard.” If Ms. Comstock believes
this, why didn’t she speak up about the Republi-
cans’ failure in providing a thorough investigation
into the allegations? She stood by as senators of her
own party called no witnesses and actively fought
against opening an FBI investigation in a rush to
confirm Mr. Kavanaugh. In fact, in a Sept. 28
statement, Ms. Comstock blamed only Senate
Democrats.
Ms. Comstock said Paula Jones was entitled to
fair discovery regarding her sexual harassment
allegations against then-President Bill Clinton.
Ms. Comstock can’t support fair proceedings for
Ms. Jones while failing to influence her own party
to offer the same opportunity to Christine Blasey
Ford. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) did his part.
If Ms. Comstock wants to hold herself out as a
champion for women who are sexually harassed,
she should fight for victims even if the accused
perpetrator is her longtime friend.

Examining privilege
Shamus Khan’s Sept. 30 Outlook essay, “Ka-
vanaugh is lying. His upbringing explains why.,”
nailed an important issue. I was astounded to hear
Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh repeatedly cite his résu-
mé as the primary reason for believing him, as if
someone who was No. 1 in his class and had served in
high government posts could never exhibit human
traits such as drinking too much, being belligerent
or committing sexual abuse.
The brazen white lies about his yearbook and
blustery answers to basic questions lend credence to
the feeling that Mr. Kavanaugh has the original
meaning of the word “privilege” that Mr. Khan
mentioned — “private law” — as part of his mental
makeup.
Americans of all classes could see through the
clumsy deceit because we went to high school. We
get the references to sex and drinking. We under-
stand the class differences that reigned in those
hallways, even if we did not attend prep school. We
know what entitlement looks like.
If one outcome of the #MeToo movement is the
continued erosion of privilege that overlooks wrong-
doing and protects powerful men, maybe our coun-
try will become more equitable and a little more just
because the rules apply to all.
Marla Crockett, Chevy Chase
I was troubled by Shamus Khan’s Sept. 30
Outlook essay, which suggested that lying and
feeling above the constraints of normal, ethical
behavior are common occurrences at “elite” schools
such as Yale University. As an alumnus of Yale, I
deeply resent this loose generalization.
I did not come from a background of privilege. My
father emigrated from Scotland as a boy with
nothing more than an eighth-grade education. He
studied accounting, became a certified public ac-
countant and did well enough to send me to the
finest schools, including Yale. At Yale, I found an
amazing diversity of friends from all over the
country and the world and from a wide range of
socioeconomic backgrounds. To suggest the Ivy
League colleges are places where the “elites” learn
that the rules “don’t really apply” is tragically
inaccurate.

Don’t buy Airbnb’s spin
Regarding Rashida Mims’s Sept. 30 Local Opin-
ions essay, “Hotels are thriving. Why are they
worried about my Airbnb listing?”:
The short-term-rental issue isn’t about ho-
tels. Airbnb is trying to deflect attention from the
real issue: Commercial investor hosts are buying up
residential homes and depleting housing options for
permanent D.C. residents and negatively affecting
neighborhoods citywide.
These illegal commercial hotel operations are
driving up our rental prices and lowering the
availability of affordable housing for hard-working
taxpayers who work and live in the District.
The D.C. Council, by limiting home-sharing to
primary residences in its short-term-rental bill, is

The Sept. 29 Metro article “Aged gibbon, a staff
favorite, dies at National Zoo” sparked memories of
my friend “Edward” Gibbon.
Edward showed up in Solomons on a Thai junk
with her family in the early 1970s. She was
purchased in a market in Thailand. Edward loved
me. As I sat on the deck of the boat with her, she
would groom my hair, singing a tune in excitement
as she did. She never found anything, but she sure
loved looking.
When I tried to leave, she would grab me by my
ankle and make me sit down with her until she got
bored. (She had huge teeth and knew how to use
them.) We both loved this little game.
Edward loved to climb to the top of the mast on
her boat and sing. Thanks for bringing back a great
childhood memory.

The fragility
of #MeToo gains
I
t took barely four days for Presi-
dent Trump to go from describing
Christine Blasey Ford as “a very
credible witness” in the wake of
her appearance before the Senate Judi-
ciary Committee to savaging that testi-
mony with a vicious rant Tuesday night
at a political rally in Mississippi.
“ ‘I don’t know. I don’t know.’ ‘Up-
stairs? Downstairs? Where was it?’ ‘I
don’t know. But I had one beer. That’s
the only thing I remember,’ ” Trump
said, mocking the gaps in Ford’s mem-
ory of the attack that she claims Su-
preme Court nominee Brett M. Ka-
vanaugh made on her at a high school
party as his friend Mark Judge cheered
him on.
The hoots Trump drew from the
crowd were a painful, ironic reminder
of something Ford said she will never
forget about that night: “Indelible in
the hippocampus is the laughter — the
uproarious laughter between the two
and their having fun at my expense.”
At just about the same time Trump
was shredding Ford in Mississippi, the
11 men who constitute the Republican
majority on the Senate Judiciary Com-
mittee put out a statement that pur-
ported to describe the sexual prefer-
ences of Julie Swetnick, another wom-
an who has accused Kavanaugh of
misconduct in the 1980s.
The shameful move on the part of
the Senate Republicans was as mystify-
ing as it was unprecedented, given that
Swetnick was already doing a pretty
good job on her own of undermining
the credibility of her allegations.
Swetnick’s story has shifted. She has
yet to produce corroboration of a set of
spectacularly horrifying accusations,
including that Kavanaugh was present
at numerous parties where gang rapes
occurred. So why did the senators feel
it necessary to add unverified recollec-
tions of something they heard from a
man who says he had a brief relation-
ship with her a quarter-century ago?
The answer from Kavanaugh’s de-
fenders is that they are merely fighting
fire with fire. But that is another way of
acknowledging that what they really
want is to turn back the clock.
Suddenly, the new rules of the
#MeToo era are giving way to the old
ones of the 1990s. Back then, women
who had the temerity to come forward
with allegations of sexual abuse
against powerful figures would find
that they themselves were the ones on
trial.
After former Arkansas state em-

Trump shows us
the art of a smear
W
hen a leader can hold pow-
er only by dividing his
country, stoking its anxiet-
ies and hostilities, ridicul-
ing his opponents, and disrespecting
every norm of decency, the result is a
broken democracy and a demoralized
nation.
The fight over Brett M. Kavanaugh’s
confirmation to a seat on the Supreme
Court has caused predictable hand-
wringing about partisan division, trib-
alism and incivility. We hear often that
both parties are behaving like toddlers
who need to be brought to heel by
responsible “adults” who know better.
But the narrative of equivalence is
worse than inaccurate. It is destruc-
tive. It points us to the wrong diagnosis
and thus the wrong cure. At this
moment in our history, there is only
one party being led by President
Trump and only one that rushes to his
defense over and over.
Trump regularly and unashamedly
reminds us of his vileness and thus
single-handedly demolishes the every-
body-does-it narrative.
Trump’s lying, mocking, despicable
verbal mugging of Christine Blasey
Ford during a Mississippi rally on
Tuesday night may not be a new low for
him because there have been so many
other lows. But his willingness to
suggest that Ford is one of the “evil
people” and his twisted account of her
testimony about Kavanaugh before the
Senate Judiciary Committee ripped
the mask of respectability off the
campaign to confirm Trump’s appoin-
tee.
The president made it harder than
ever for those who vote for Kavanaugh
to claim they are still taking Ford’s
testimony seriously. If you claim that
Ford is part of some wicked left-wing
operation to destroy a good man, you
are saying that her story is just that — a
made-up, untrue or exaggerated “sto-
ry” with a political purpose.
Reading Trump’s attack in full is an
enlightening education in the art of
the demagogic and malevolent smear:
“ ‘Thirty-six years ago this hap-
pened. I had one beer.’ ‘Right?’ ‘I had
one beer.’ ‘Well, you think it was [one
beer]?’ ‘Nope, it was one beer.’ ‘Oh
good. How did you get home?’ ‘I don’t
remember.’ ‘How did you get there?’ ‘I
don’t remember.’ ‘Where is the place?’
‘I don’t remember.’ ‘How many years
ago was it?’ ‘I don’t know. I don’t know.
I don’t know. I don’t know.’ ‘What
neighborhood was it in?’ ‘I don’t know.’
ployee Paula Jones claimed that then-
Gov. Bill Clinton exposed his genitals
to her in 1991, Clinton’s chief political
strategist James Carville retorted: “If
you drag a hundred-dollar bill through
a trailer park, you never know what
you’ll find.”
Republicans now cite that episode
with regularity, of course, as almost
every argument seems to wind its way
at some point to, “What about the
Clintons?”
But the real question should be:
What have we learned since then?
One thing is that women who make
these charges deserve a serious, re-
spectful hearing. Another is that not
every accusation is going to prove
credible, or even produce any kind of
resolution at all.
There is also a fair, honest argument
to be had over how much unprovable
accusations about something that hap-
pened in adolescence should matter.
Surely, not as much as the character
someone has displayed in the decades
since. And in that regard, Kavanaugh’s
outburst during his own testimony
revealed him as a partisan. That may
be more telling about his fitness for the
high court than his obvious shading of
the truth about his rowdy high school
and college years.
The Kavanaugh saga has also ex-
posed the degree to which men — and
some of the women who love them —
feel threatened by the new environ-
ment in which they find themselves.
Trump, whose instinct always seems
to be to project his own sense of
victimhood into other men accused of
sexual misconduct, clearly senses a
political opportunity in the backlash.
“That’s something to think about,
right? That’s something — think of
your son. Think of your husband,” he
said, adding that the country has
found itself in “a damn sad situation,
okay?”
The president is not entirely wrong,
though perhaps not for the reason he
thinks. While false claims are rare,
they do happen occasionally, which is
why all accusations should be treated
with care.
We must also accept that ambigui-
ties and uncertainties will no doubt
arise as the country moves toward an
overdue reckoning on sexual assault.
Real progress is happening and no
doubt will continue to. But the gains are
proving fragile. The past few days have
told us how much further there is to go.

‘Where’s the house?’ ‘I don’t know.’
‘Upstairs, downstairs, where was it?’ ‘I
don’t know. But I had one beer. That’s
the only thing I remember.’ ”
The refrain of “I had one beer” is
demeaning and implies Ford is lying
about her alcohol consumption. The
statement “that’s the only thing I
remember” is the big lie, because Ford
remembered a great deal. The “up-
stairs, downstairs, I don’t know” is
another lie. Ford is unambiguous that
the assault happened on the second
floor of the house.
Trump went on: “A man’s life is in
tatters, a man’s life is shattered, his
wife is shattered, his daughters who
are beautiful, incredible young kids.
They destroy people. They want to
destroy people. These are really evil
people.”
No matter what Trump or his apolo-
gists try to say to clean up this cesspool
of invective, there is no escaping the
fact that when the president assails
“really evil people” here, he is linking
Ford herself with the liberals and
Democrats who are leaving a man’s life
“in tatters.” The three Republican
swing votes on Kavanaugh — Sens. Su-
san Collins of Maine, Jeff Flake of
Arizona and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
— each criticized the president’s
speech. Will they be the consciences of
their party in the coming days?
Anyone who doubts the poisonous-
ness of Trumpian politics should also
consider that his screed was immedi-
ately and plausibly cast as a ploy to
distract attention from a remarkable
New York Times investigation into
how Trump’s whole public persona (“I
built what I built myself ”) is itself built
on a lie. His wealth was painstakingly
underwritten by his father, apparently
with the help of a great deal of tax
avoidance or even perhaps evasion.
Democrats are far from angelic, and
they could have handled Ford’s initial
contacts better than they did. But as
Trump has made clear, responsibility
for the toxicity of this battle — and of
our politics as a whole — cannot be
assigned equally to the two sides.
Rushing Kavanaugh through, trying
to avoid any comprehensive investiga-
tion into Ford’s charges, exploiting
cultural and (male) gender resent-
ments, and now attacking Ford her-
self: These are all pages from a play-
book that puts victory and power over
any effort to heal our deeply riven
nation.

Christine Blasey Ford answers questions at a Senate Judiciary Committee
hearing on Sept. 27 on Capitol Hill.
My sexual assault
is seared into memory
BY C ONNIE C HUNG
D
ear Christine Blasey Ford,
I, too, was sexually assaulted
— not 36 years ago but about
50 years ago. I have kept my
dirty little secret to myself. Silence for
five decades. The molester was our
trusted family doctor. What made this
monster even more reprehensible was
that he was the very doctor who deliv-
ered me on Aug. 20, 1946. I’m 72 now.
It was the 1960s. I was in college. The
sexual revolution was in full swing. The
exact date and year are fuzzy. But details
of the event are vivid — forever seared in
my memory.
Am I sure who did it? Oh yes, 100 per-
cent.
I was a cool college coed but not that
cool. I was still a virgin in the ’60s. I did
advance to the so-called heavy petting
stage, short of intercourse. I assumed
that would come next.
I went to my family doctor to ask for
birth-control pills, an IUD or a dia-
phragm.
His office was in his home, a classic
Georgetown 19th-century house, creaky
wooden floors with worn velvet Victo-
rian furniture. His office was to the left of
the front door, through double doors
with glass windowpanes covered with
tight curtains. It was a large room
divided by a curtain he could draw. Half
the room was his office, the other half his
examination space.
Again, I cannot remember the exact
date or even year. Yet I can still describe
the following in detail. He drew the
curtain, asking me to remove my clothes
below the waist while he sat at his desk
by the bay window. When I was ready, he
came to the examination area and in-
stalled stirrups on one end of the cush-
ioned examination table.
Here I was in my 20s, and I had never
had a gynecological examination. I had
never even seen exam stirrups before. It
was extremely odd to spread my legs and
dig my heels into those cold iron stir-
rups.
While I stared at the ceiling, his right
index finger massaged my clitoris. With
his right middle finger inserted in my
vagina, he moved both fingers rhythmi-
cally. He coached me verbally in a soft
voice, “Just breathe. ‘Ah-ah,’ ” mimicking
the sound of soft breathing. “You’re
doing fine,” he assured me.
Suddenly, to my shock, I had an
orgasm for the first time in my life. My
body jerked several times. Then he
leaned over, kissed me, a peck on my lips,

The silencing
of Jamal Khashoggi
“I never wanted to be labeled as an exiled
dissident,” Jamal Khashoggi often tells me.
When we meet in person or chat over
WhatsApp, Jamal’s mission is very clear: He
just wants to write and be a journalist. As his
editor, I can say that what comes through in
conversations with him is how honestly he
loves Saudi Arabia and its people and feels
that it is his duty to write what he sees to be
the truth about the kingdom’s past, present
and future.
In September 2017, I reached out to Jamal
to write his first opinion article for The Post,
in which he lamented that Saudi Arabia’s
repression was becoming unbearable to the
point that he decided to leave the country
and live in exile in Washington. The article
drew considerable attention in Saudi Arabia
and the wider region. It was the first article
we translated into Arabic in the Global
Opinions section.
We are extremely disturbed to have had no
contact from Jamal since he was last
seen visiting a Saudi Consulate in Istanbul
on Tuesday. At the time of this writing, we
have not been able to reach him. We have
inquired about Jamal’s whereabouts and
expressed our deep concern to Turkish and
Saudi officials.
The mystery surrounding Jamal’s where-

and slipped behind the curtain to his
office area.
I don’t remember saying anything to
him. I could not even look at him. I
quickly dressed and drove home.
At the time, I think I may have told one
of my sisters. I certainly did not tell my
parents. I did not report him to authori-
ties. It never crossed my mind to protect
other women. Please understand, I was
actually embarrassed about my sexual
naivete. I was in my 20s and knew
nothing about sex. All I wanted to do was
bury the incident in my mind and protect
my family.
My mother could not read or write
English, let alone drive. From then on, I
told her our family doctor lived too far
away. We’re not going to see him any-
more.
Years later, I told my husband. When
did I tell him? What year? What date? I
don’t remember.
When the superb reporting of the New
Yorker’s Ronan Farrow and the New York
Times’s Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor
helped touch off this intimate discus-
sion, my dirty little secret reared its ugly
head and I told anyone who would listen.
I think the doctor died almost 30 years
ago in his 80s. I’ve driven past his
home/office many times but refused to
look at it. Just yesterday, I found the
house on Google Maps. Seeing it again, I
freaked out.
Christine, I, too, am terrified as I
reveal this publicly. I can’t sleep. I can’t
eat. Can you? If you can’t, I understand. I
am frightened, I am scared, I can’t even
cry.
Will my legacy as a television journal-
ist for 30-plus years be relegated to a
footnote? Will “She Too” be etched on my
tombstone instead? I don’t want to tell
the truth. I must tell the truth. As a
reporter, the truth has ruled my life, my
thinking. It’s what I searched for on a
daily working basis.
Christine, I know the truth, as you do.
Years ago, my husband read a novel by
Rita Mae Brown called “Six of One.” He
told me, “There’s a great line in this book.
‘The advantage of telling the truth is you
don’t have to remember what you said.’ ”
I wish I could forget this truthful
event, but I cannot because it is the truth.
I am writing to you because I know that
exact dates, exact years are insignificant.
We remember exactly what happened to
us and who did it to us. We remember the
truth forever.
Bravo, Christine, for telling the truth.
The writer is a broadcast journalist.
abouts comes amid a wave of crackdowns
on dissent and activism in Saudi Arabia
under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Sal-
man. Just this week, prominent Saudi econ-
omist and social media star Essam Al-Zamel
was charged with terrorism for daring to
criticize the kingdom’s economic plans.
Jamal is one of the leading proponents of
freedom and democratic change through-
out the region, and he frequently denounces
the harsh tactics deployed by the Saudi
authorities against prominent clerics, busi-
ness owners, female activists and social
media figures. For all the articles he has
written to bring awareness to the plight of
those who were improperly detained, today
I am saddened to plead for his safe and swift
return.
Whether he is writing about what Saudi
Arabia can learn from “Black Panther” or the
parallels between the British and the Saudi
royal families, what makes Jamal’s work
unique is his keen desire to demystify Saudi
Arabia for a global audience — and to
connect the happenings in the kingdom to
the wider world. He is enthusiastic, hard-
working and, perhaps most important, in-
credibly kind. As a journalist and editor, I
learn so much from him and his experiences.
Jamal, if you have a chance to read this,
please know that we at The Post are actively
seeking to ensure your safety and freedom. I
won’t be able to rest easy until you appear
safe and sound.

GEORGE F. WILL
Jeff Flake’s
senatorial
moment
P
referring verbal felicity to prac-
tical wisdom, a character in a
Benjamin Disraeli novel
quipped, “A majority is always
the best repartee.” Not really. Open
societies that want to remain so should
prefer persuasion to raw power, even
the power of majorities. Which is why
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) served the
nation, its highest tribunal, constitu-
tional morality and even his ungrate-
ful party by not being a team player.
A minority of Americans are perpet-
ually infuriated, and the Republican
portion of that minority is furious with
Flake because he used his leverage in a
closely divided Senate to compel the
FBI investigation of accusations
against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh. Do
enraged Republicans think the nation-
al interest, or even their party’s inter-
est, would have been well-served if,
with the embers still smoldering from
Christine Blasey Ford’s and Ka-
vanaugh’s testimonies, Senate Repub-
licans had used their legislative muscle
to shove Kavanaugh’s confirmation to
completion by now?
In that case, Justice Kavanaugh —
20 percent of a majority on a court
often divided 5 to 4 on contentious
matters — would have served under a
cloud of the suspicion that he got there
only because his party would not coun-
tenance a reasonable delay that would
enable the FBI to seek pertinent infor-
mation. But how much of a delay is
reasonable partly depends on what
information is deemed pertinent.
Flake’s Republican denouncers ac-
curately anticipated that the FBI inves-
tigation and Democrats’ complaints
about it would begin simultaneously.
Quickly abandoning their demand for
one week, Democrats said that any
time limit is “arbitrary” and, besides, is
unacceptable because the FBI should
follow any evidence relating to his
“character” or “temperament.” This,
however, surely is pertinent: Even be-
fore Ford’s letter alleging Kavanaugh’s
sexual assault became public, and be-
fore some of his boldly categorical
assertions to the Judiciary Committee
concerning his high school and college
comportment made those subjects
pertinent, not one of the 49 Democrat-
ic senators announced support for his
confirmation.
With midterm elections impending,
Democrats will soon say: “We should
wait and let the voters be heard from.”
This argument for a plebiscitary con-
firmation process is an argument that
Republicans richly deserve to have
turned against them. It is as anti-
constitutional and unconservative as
it was in March 2016 when it was
concocted for use against the nomina-
tion of Merrick Garland. Had the Re-
publican-controlled Senate confirmed
him — he was manifestly qualified,
moderate and 63 — today’s nominee to
replace Anthony M. Kennedy could
have been Neil M. Gorsuch. Are Repub-
licans happy with the way things have
worked out?
At this point in a cringe-inducing
process that is not apt to become less
so, one consideration is more impor-
tant than all the other considerations
— justice for her, justice for him, rais-
ing awareness about bad sexual behav-
ior, etc. — combined: What best serves,
or least further injures, the court’s
institutional standing? Which is
worse, confirming Kavanaugh, who
diminished himself by his strident self-
defense, or not confirming him, vali-
dating what has been done to him with
as yet uncorroborated accusations?
Something might be salvaged from
the current nadir, although not
enough to compensate for damage
already done. The FBI investigation
might reveal nothing, or something,
that definitively substantiates, or re-
futes, Ford’s or Kavanaugh’s sworn
assertions. Flake bought time for this
by acting like a senator. By, that is,
recognizing that the separation of
powers retains its vitality only when
legislators are more interested in their
Article I powers and responsibilities
than in the preferences of any presi-
dent.
In his book “Conscience of a Con-
servative,” Flake recalls when former
House majority leader Tom DeLay (R-
Tex.) said approvingly that the statue
in the Lincoln Memorial depicts one of
the president’s hands “in a perpetual
fist.” Actually, neither Lincoln’s visage
nor his left hand suggests pugnacity.
The statue is, after all, situated next to
the words “with malice toward none.”
DeLay saw what he wanted to see early
in today’s era of smash-mouth politics,
when “confirmation bias” has several
meanings.
In Robert Penn Warren’s “All the
King’s Men,” the 1946 roman à clef
about Louisiana’s Huey Long, the pop-
ulist governor Willie Stark searches for
something unsavory in a judge’s back-
ground: “Man is conceived in sin and
born in corruption and he passeth
from the stink of the didie to the stench
of the shroud. There is always some-
thing.” And when an aide tells Stark
that a particular act is beneath the
dignity of a governor, Stark replies that
“there ain’t anything worth doing a
man can do and keep his dignity.” We
should hope, against much current
evidence, that this is not true.

Forever summer? 90 is possible as 80-degree days extend into next week.
In an ordinary

toward 70 degrees
while the nights
cool through the
50s. The air is crisp, we’re
wearing fleece and sipping
pumpkin spice lattes and our air-
conditioners are shut down until
late spring.
But not this October, in which
summer — which refused to go
away in September — obstinately
persists. Don’t stow away the
shorts and sandals just yet.
Temperatures are strangely
trending up during the month’s
opening stanza. Over the next 10
days, they’ll frequently surpass
80 degrees and could even flirt
with 90 on one or two days.
Both the National Weather
Service’s 6-to-10-day and 8-to-14-
day outlooks are calling for
above-normal temperatures with
a high degree of confidence.
So exactly how warm are we
talking?
On Thursday, high
temperatures are forecast to
reach the mid- to upper 80s.
Even 90 isn’t entirely out of the
question. Even so, the high
temperature probably won’t
come close to the record, which
is 94 degrees set in 1954.
Factoring in the humidity,
though, it might feel that hot.
The warm weather, projected
to extend through October’s
second week, is likely to end up
being most remarkable for its
duration.
After a brief cool down with
highs in the 70s Friday and
Saturday, temperatures are
forecast to catapult back above
80 on Sunday and remain there
or higher for much of next week.
Models vary on the intensity
of the heat.
The American model, which
tends to have a warm bias,
predicts highs in the mid- to
upper 80s Sunday through next
Friday. The European model,
which sometimes runs a few
degrees too cool, favors low 80s.
Usually, a blend of the two
models offers a fairly reliable
forecast — so low to mid-80s
seems like a reasonable
prediction during that Sunday-

woes and acknowledging in plain
language that service is a key
factor that drives ridership, along
with population and jobs, tour-
ists and reliability.
Neither the Metro board nor
the agency’s general manager
had seen the report before it was
published by The Post on
Wednesday, officials said, though
it was unclear how a comprehen-
sive report on such a critical
problem could not have crossed
agency chief Paul J. Wiedefeld’s
desk.
“Most American transit agen-
cies have recently faced declining
ridership, but Metrorail’s de-
clines are more significant than
most peers, with the difference
likely accounted for by factors
specific to Metro and the Wash-
ington region,” according to the
document obtained by The Post
and confirmed by a person with
direct knowledge of its contents
but who was not authorized to
discuss it publicly. “The funda-
mental factors — fares, location,
speed, frequency, and reliability
— matter most and Metro’s re-
cent actions have put downward
pressure on ridership.”
In July 2017, Metro raised
fares, reduced service and cur-
tailed late-night hours to save
money, reduce wear-and-tear on
its tracks and implement the
agency’s first preventive mainte-
nance program following the
year-long SafeTrack rebuilding
effort.
Train frequency was reduced
to every eight minutes from six
on most lines, and the agency’s
span of service was cut by eight
hours a week; Sunday service
hours, for example, were changed
from 7 a.m. to midnight, to 8 a.m.
to 11 p.m. Off-peak ridership suf-
fered the most, with losses “two
to three time larger than peak
declines,” according to the report.

(who take more than 40 trips per
month) make up 60 percent of
the subway’s trip declines, while
tourists who ride the least make
up about 25 percent of the losses
since 2015, the report says. Serv-
ice increases could offset those
losses.
“For every 10 percent increase
in the number of trains serving a
station, ridership is expected to
increase by 0.3 to 0.9 percent,”
according to data it cites.
Metro spokesman Dan Stessel
said the document is an internal
report meant to aid the agency’s
planning as it looks toward budg-
et discussions. But ultimately, he
said, Wiedefeld’s forthcoming
budget proposal will serve as the
“starting point” for discussions
on fares and service for the fiscal
year that begins July 1.
“Metro’s goal is to provide the
best service possible for custom-
ers while operating efficiently
and within our available budget,”
Stessel said. “This document,
now five months old, is an exam-
ple of a work product resulting
[from] those efforts.”
Still, the plan raises questions
about whether the agency and
board members will back a serv-
ice increase — something none
were willing to commit to when
asked for a prior story.
Rep. Gerald E. Connolly
(D-Va.) said Wednesday that the
report puts pressure on Wiede-
feld to include increased service
in his budget.
“The facts are, we’ve had a very
precipitous decline in ridership.
How are we going to reverse
that?” Connolly asked. “Because
that decline in ridership threat-
ens the whole enterprise.”
But the Metro board’s chair-
man, Jack Evans, said the onus is
on regional and federal officials
to provide the funding that
would enable Metro to do the
things outlined in the report.
“Given the detail, if this report
ever gets done and gets out, they

operating funds.
The report captures the rapid
growth of ride-hailing services in
the Washington region. Uber and
Lyft are catching up to Metro as a
preferred transportation mode
for residents of the region, it says.
Metro officials, including Wiede-
feld, have said repeatedly that it
is difficult to account for the
impact of ride-hailing services
because of a lack of data. Howev-
er, according to the analysis in
this report, on a daily basis, the
app-based services transport
about half as many passengers as
Metro, providing about 300,000
passenger trips in the region.
To compete in an environment
flush with alternatives, the plan
says, Metro must operate at con-
sistent eight-minute headways
through 9 p.m. every weekday
instead of shifting to 12-minute
headways midday and longer
evening waits. That kind of serv-
ice increase would cost between
$10 million and $30 million,
according to the report.

slowly weaken and retreat.
But at its peak intensity early
next week, this high-pressure
zone is predicted to rank among
the strongest on record for this
time of year in the Mid-Atlantic.
Another historically intense
high-pressure zone, parked over
Alaska in recent weeks, has
resulted in record warmth in
that region. Available data shows
these high-pressure ridges have
trended more intense in recent
decades, probably because of
quality but lays bare the corro-
sive impact of Metro’s ongoing
maintenance on service in the
wake of its year-long SafeTrack
program. (Among the other ac-
tions Metro could take: restoring
automatic train operation, a
measure that would eliminate
herky-jerky rides and ensure
proper train spacing to save
time.) Metro’s evening and week-
end service declines have cost the
agency 150,000 trips per week
and $20 million in annual rev-
enue, the report says.
“The default for many custom-
ers is to assume that weekend
track work has disrupted their
travel plans and not even consid-
er Metro as a viable option,” it
says.
The report charts Metro’s de-
cline from an all-day-all-week
subway into, effectively, a five-
day-a-week commuter system,
citing the “longer-term erosion of
weekend ridership as track work-
created disruptions have become
more common in the last decade.”
“For example, in February
2018, trains single-tracked
around crews executing capital
work in three locations every
evening — beginning at 10 p.m. —
and on all weekends.”
The report concludes that Met-
ro could operate all-day peak
service without interfering with
most of its maintenance needs
because “early-out” single-track-
ing typically does not begin until
10 p.m. Such an effort could add
between 10,000 and 20,000 addi-
tional weekday trips. Extending
Yellow Line service, meanwhile,
could net an additional 3,000
trips at a cost of $1.5 million to
$3 million. While population in-
creases are the biggest driver of
ridership improvements, service
also has a measurable impact, it
says.
Metrobus is another area of
focus. The impact of fare in-
creases is most acute for bus
riders, the report says, while
factors such as service frequency,
travel speeds, and population

and jobs tend to also drive rider-
ship. With every 10 percent bus
fare increase, for example, bus
ridership falls 3.4 to 5.5 percent,
it concludes. Metro is undergoing
a regionwide bus study to deter-
mine the best business model for
the system, which has been
steadily decreasing in recent
years, falling about 7 percent
since last year. The report recom-
mends a mix of passenger-friend-
ly initiatives to improve rider-
ship: signal priority and off-
board fare collection to make bus
trips faster, allowing seamless
transfers between the rail and
bus systems and making trips
more affordable for low-income
commuters using local subsidies.
Those measures, which would
cost local jurisdictions more than
$75 million combined, could bol-
ster bus ridership by more than
100,000 daily trips, the report
concludes.
Around the region, the reac-
tion ranged from optimism that
Metro has a clear understanding
of its ridership problem to out-
rage about the apparent about-
face put on by management —
though it was unclear how much
top officials had known before
Wednesday.
Metro’s largest union, Amal-
gamated Transit Union Local
689, said in a statement that the
report “exposes that Metro
knows what to do to increase
ridership although General Man-
ager Paul Wiedefeld says the
problem is out of his hands.”
Stewart Schwartz, executive
director of the pro-transit Coali-
tion for Smarter Growth, which
advocates service increases, saw
it as a positive step.
“Of course, what’s wonderful is
that it confirms important con-
cepts: Frequency of rail and bus
service is one of the single-most-
important things they could do,”
he said. “It’s our hope that every
elected official in the region take

She is studying medicine with

That was in the 1960s, after
Sylvia had graduated from the

Piccadilly Circus. When she lost
her lease in 1973, Sylvia decided
to strike out for the States, where
her husband’s sister lived.
Like Ok, Sylvia worked in
other shops before opening her
own. Why not resurrect the name
Sylvia’s Hair Fashions?
“Forget that,” Sylvia said. “We
just decided we wanted
something that sounded nice.
‘Ruffles’ means ‘curls.’ And we
definitely wanted to put the

It does give the place a Mary
Quant/Jean Shrimpton sort of

Sylvia, 72, doesn’t cut hair
anymore (she does real estate),
but her sister Eve Georgiou and
sister-in-law Ivy Themistokleous
work in the shop. (The women
are Greek Cypriots whose
families moved to London.)
Finally, let the record show

opened in the shopping center.
That shop has a less mysterious
name: Jenny’s Hair Salon, after

“I remember hitting the wind-
shield, then being on the ground,
and I looked up and saw him
drive away,” Khanna said.
She added that she plans to
press charges once the driver is
identified — a step she wouldn’t
have taken had he pulled over
immediately, she said.
“But the fact he ran away and
didn’t check on us, I don’t want
that person in the road,” Abu El
Hawa said. “He doesn’t have a
value on life, and that kind of
person needs to be rehabilitated
and educated.”
Although several bystanders
rushed over to make sure they
were okay, none of them got a
good look at the car’s license
plate, Khanna said. Both women
are concerned that they were hit
while crossing the road safely, but
are even more worried that the
driver responsible is still on the
road.
“He’s just living his life, and my
friend is going to all these doc-

said. “He’s faced no consequences
for having done something horri-

claimed two houses — one, a
roughly $1 million home in
Bethesda, and another in Fresno,
Calif. — as his primary residence,
according to an article in the Fres-
no Bee.
Federal tax laws don’t allow a
person to claim more than one.
His staff said that it was an
“honest mistake” and that he’ll
repay $692 he received from
Montgomery County in a tax cred-

was the fault of tax collectors in
Maryland.
In California, Cox is challenging
Rep. David Valadao (R) for the
state’s 21st Congressional District

Cox’s staff did not immediately
return a phone call or email from
The Washington Post seeking

ords show Cox owns a $968,100
house on Silverwood Lane in
Bethesda, just off Macarthur
Boulevard. The Fresno Bee report-
ed that he claimed it as his pri-
mary residence in 2016, 2017 and
2018. And he did the same for his
home in Fresno.
At first, a Cox spokesman told
the newspaper that the residency
mistake was the fault of Maryland
tax collectors. But the explanation
changed after staff members were
shown a notarized public docu-
ment that Cox had signed and
initialed stating that Maryland
was his primary residence.
One spokesman told the Bee
that it was “an honest mistake that
he filled out the principal resi-
dence not knowing the legal defi-
nitions. His family was living
there.”
According to Cox’s staff, the
Bethesda home was bought for his
wife and four children while she
studied at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity and he worked in Fresno.
The Fresno Bee said state prop-
erty records show that the Bethes-
da house is no longer named as his
principal residence.

from St. Albans,

YEARBOOK FROM B1
phrase is unclear. But “Stus,” they
said, was commonly known as a
coded shorthand for two words:
“stupid” plus a sexist slur.
Jason Robinson, headmaster
of St. Albans since July, acknowl-
edged that the first 2015 year-
book “was truly reprehensible,
and it was a source of great
embarrassment to the school.”
He said the school, which that
year issued a revised version, has
beefed up oversight of the publi-
cation and taken steps to pro-
mote a culture of respect and
civility. “We have always aspired
to be a school that takes charac-
ter education seriously,” Robin-
son said.
The national debate over the
Kavanaugh nomination has cast
a spotlight on all-boys schools.
Two women have accused the
nominee of sexual assault during
his high school and college years.
Kavanaugh denies the allega-
tions.
Kavanaugh also has been
forced to explain phrases on his
Georgetown Prep yearbook page
such as “100 Kegs or Bust” and
“Renate Alumnius,” which refers
to a woman with that first name
who attended a nearby school.

they had things in common, in-
cluding a love of cars, and began
dating.
When Assistant U.S. Attorney
Laura Bach asked Hayles to point
out Wint in the courtroom, she
broke down in tears. Wint also
began crying, causing the court-
room clerk to walk over and offer
him two tissues.
Wint is charged with first-
degree murder, kidnapping, ar-
son and other charges in the May
14, 2015, killings of Savopoulos,
46; his wife, Amy, 47; their son,
Philip, 10; and their housekeeper,
Veralicia “Vera” Figueroa, 57. Au-
thorities say Wint held the four
captive until the money was deliv-
ered and then killed them and set
the house on fire.
Wint, 37, pleaded not guilty and
has argued, through his public
defenders, that his brother, Stef-
fon, and half brother, Darrell, car-
ried out the killings. The defense
claims Wint was summoned to
the Savopoulos home by his
brothers, but remained down-
stairs and had no idea victims
were bound in upstairs bed-
rooms.
Neither brother has been
charged. Steffon Wint testified
Monday that he had no role in the
killings.
In court, Hayles provided an
account of Daron Wint’s activities
in the days leading up to his arrest
on May 21, 2015.
Hayles told the jury that Wint
came to visit her home in New
York on May 17, 2015, and told her
that he had come into money after
selling his minivan — a vehicle

. THE WASHINGTON POST
Critics said Kavanaugh and
other classmates alluded to her
in the yearbook as a way of
bragging about a conquest. The
woman, Renate Schroeder Dol-
phin, recently told the New York
Times the “insinuation is horri-
ble, hurtful and simply untrue.”
Kavanaugh told the Senate last
week the reference was “clumsily
intended to show affection” and
that he meant no sexual connota-
tion.
Educators are mindful that the
Kavanaugh controversy provides
lessons for their students.
“We are at an inflection point
as a culture on issues of consent,
sexual misconduct and treat-
ment of women,” Robinson said.
He addressed St. Albans stu-
dents about those issues after the
Senate hearing that featured dra-
matic testimony from Ka-
vanaugh and one of his accusers,
Christine Blasey Ford. Robinson
said he rejects the notion that
“boys will be boys” as a defense
for misconduct. “That is the very
last message we want the boys to
hear right now,” he said.
Last week, St. Albans and Na-
tional Cathedral school officials
told parents and alumni they
have learned of allegations of
sexual harassment and assault
TV news on May 20 when Wint’s
photo flashed across the screen
during a story about a D.C. mur-
der case.
“I jumped out of bed. I said,
‘Dylon, that’s you,’ ” Hayles re-
called, explaining that she re-
ferred to Wint using his middle
name. Hayles said Wint called his
father in Maryland, who told him
that police had an arrest warrant
for him and that he should return
to the District.
Hayles said that she and Wint,

fearing police would find them at
Hayles’s home, checked into a
hotel and that Wint paid with
$100 bills.
During questions from Wint’s
attorneys, Hayles said Wint was
concerned about turning himself
in without having an attorney. He
paid for a taxi to take him to
Washington. He also had Hayles
call 911 to alert authorities that he
was turning himself in, she said.
that involved students who at-
tended their schools in years
past. Both schools said they were
“deeply concerned” about the re-
ports and were seeking to learn
more.
The two schools are on the
grounds of Washington National
Cathedral in Northwest Wash-
ington. For more than a century,
the Episcopal schools have
taught children of the powerful
and prominent in the nation’s
capital.
Each enrolls nearly 600 stu-
dents from grades four through
12, with tuition of more than
$40,000 a year for those not on
financial aid. Boys and girls often
socialize together, take classes
together and participate together
in performing arts and other
activities. The symbiotic relation-
ship forges meaningful connec-
tions, students and educators say,
between the schools.
But it occasionally poses chal-
lenges.
In 2014, National Cathedral
sophomores shared through an
online Google document ac-
counts “of unwanted sexual ad-
vances at parties, of inappropri-
ate sexual comments, and of
sexual and social behaviors that
our schools do not condone,”
according to a letter the girls
school sent to parents that De-
cember. St. Albans also alerted
parents to the issue and acknowl-
edged that some of its students
had posted responses to the on-
line document that were “inap-
propriate.” The incident drew
news coverage and roiled the
community.
In 2015, St. Albans students on
the yearbook staff assembled
what would become a rogue ver-
JACQUELYN MARTIN/ASSOCIATED PRESS
to the hotel with Wint.
Prosecutors also read a state-
ment from the D.C. Lottery that
said no one by the name of Daron
Wint had won a jackpot.
When Wint arrived in Wash-
ington, he was arrested while in a
car with friends of Darrell Wint.
One of those friends, Chelsea
Nunez, 25, testified that Darrell
Wint had given her and two of her
female friends $10,000 — in $100
bills — to purchase money orders
at various stores in Prince
George’s County.
Nunez said Darrell Wint told
her that the money orders would
be used by a friend who needed to
retain an attorney.
Nunez said that after picking
up the money orders, the group
went to a hotel in College Park. It
was then, Nunez testified, that a
man she never met, who intro-
duced himself as Jason, climbed
into the back seat of her car. That
man was Daron Wint.
As they made their way into the
District, Nunez said Darrell Wint
followed in a white box-truck. He
called her and said the police
were following her but that “it
was okay. They know we’re com-
ing,” she testified.
Nunez said four police cars
boxed her in and officers jumped
out pointing “red lasers” at their
chests and ordering them out of
the vehicles with their hands up.
Nunez and her friends were re-
leased after being questioned. Po-
lice found $10,000 in blank mon-
ey orders in Nunez’s car.
In court on Wednesday, a cous-
in of the Wint brothers testified
that he and Darrell Wint had been
working with police to take Daron
Wint into custody. He said he was

Photos of several offending

One featured a caricature of an

the page appeared to suggest that

There were also veiled refer-
ences to oral and anal sex, as well
as a page headlined “When Pubes

that I’d be following a DC PTA
election from New Jersey but
2018 keeps getting weirder and

“Good luck! You got this!”
“This stranger in Atlanta

“I’m following from

wrote yet another. “Go Raven!!”
That it took just a mention of
the Supreme Court nominee’s
name to draw international
attention to a hyper-local
election is telling about where
we are now as a country.
In the past, two moms
wanting to play a more active
role in their children’s education
would not gain much notice (or
recognition), and discussions at
PTA meetings might not go
beyond bake sales and teacher
appreciation displays.
But the Kavanaugh hearing —
and the uncertainty about
whether a man accused of sexual
assault will sit on the U.S.
Supreme Court — has struck so
deeply for so many people that it
is changing the conversations
we are having about sexual
violence and where we are
having them.
We are now talking about
rape and consent and the
“devil’s triangle” at ballparks
and playgrounds and, yes, PTA
elections.
We can discuss what is gained
and lost by this because in this
divided environment, that’s
what we now do. But if we do,
it’s important we keep in mind
what remains beyond debate:
Both of these moms decided to
run for PTA president in hopes
of creating a better environment
for children at a school where
most students are black and
from low-income families. Both
women stepped up when others
didn’t.
“I decided to run for Langley
Elementary School’s PTA
because I wanted to help our
community and children’s
school,” said the mother who is
running against Raven. “The
underlying thing that unites all
of us is that we want to make the
best school for our children, one
where they have resources at
their disposal to best learn and
grow.”
She spoke on the condition of
anonymity because she never
invited the national attention
and now worries about it. It’s a
valid concern at a time when the
nation’s politics have become so
polarizing and personal that “Do
you believe her?” can also mean
“Do you believe me?”
Hannah Loughlin. “Really hurt-
ful,” said John Haywood, a 2015
St. Albans graduate.
Suzanne Woods, a veteran his-
tory teacher at St. Albans, said
the yearbook came to her atten-
tion soon after it was handed out
to seniors at the end of the school
year. She recalled immediately
alerting school officials, telling
them: “I think there’s misogyny
in the yearbook. It’s really bad.
We need to stop it from being
further distributed.”
Woods, now interim associate
head of school, said the headmas-
ter at the time, Vance Wilson,
agreed. School officials asked the
graduating class to return or
destroy their copies. Then they
revised it, working with faculty,
and sent out a thinned-down
version that summer.
The editor in chief of the
yearbook, Deniz Dutz, posted
apologies on Facebook and gave a
written apology to the head of the
girls school, Kathleen Jamieson,
on behalf of the entire staff. Dutz
wrote that he had not been aware
of some of the offensive content
but acknowledged that allowing
it into the yearbook represented
“a severe lapse of care on my part,
which was unacceptable.”
Dutz declined further com-
ment. He was not the only editor.
Others were involved in produc-
ing the book, and graduating
seniors were responsible for
what appeared on pages devoted
to them.
The yearbook faculty adviser
at the time, Mark Bishop, re-
mains its adviser. Bishop also
apologized to Jamieson, a St.
Albans official said. Woods said
Bishop “wants to be part of the
solution” and “works very hard at
allegations against him, quoting
him as saying, “I know any kind
of investigation will clear me.”
But in an earlier tweet, she
also quoted Ford as saying, “I
thought Brett was going to
accidentally kill me.”
Jessica Raven is the executive
director of Collective Action for
Safe Spaces, a grass-roots
organization that describes its
role in one sentence on its
website: “We’re working to make
DC safer for everyone.” She had
recently cut back her hours so
she could become more involved
in the life of her 4-year-old
“The underlying thing
that unites all of us is
that we want to make
the best school
for our children.”
Jessica Raven, PTA candidate
transgender daughter, Max, but
she said that before the hearing,
she hadn’t decided how she was
going to spend that time. When
she saw the other woman’s
tweets, she said, they struck her
because they “seemed defensive
of Brett Kavanaugh.”
Knowing the other mother
was running unopposed, Raven
submitted her bio that night to
the parents’ association and,
with that, secured her place on
the ballot.
“I thought no one is running,
and I’m someone,” she said. “My
child needs a safe community at
school, and I want to be a part of
creating that.”
Her tweet that announced the
race was no longer uncontested
has now drawn more than

task.”
Bishop told The Post on
Wednesday that Woods and Rob-
inson “did a good job characteriz-
ing how the school’s flawed year-
book process has been improved
since 2015.”
In June 2015, Wilson apolo-
gized in a letter to Jamieson for
vulgarity in the 2015 Albanian
that was “both readily apparent
to adult eyes and coded for stu-
dent eyes only.” He pledged to
correct “slipshod supervision” of
the yearbook.
“We lay blame on ourselves as
adults for not exhibiting the nec-
essary oversight so that a pub-
lished book under our name so
poorly represents the values of
this school,” Wilson wrote.
Jamieson told The Post in a
statement that her students
brought the book to her atten-
tion. “I was deeply offended —
infuriated — by the sexism and
ignorance revealed by the boys
who participated,” Jamieson
wrote. “The book didn’t reflect
the values of the St. Albans boys I
know or their school.”
National Cathedral School offi-
cials said they were unaware of
any complaints about the content
of their own yearbook, called the
Mitre.
Jamieson said she trusts that
some good will come from the
episode. “Already, I have had
meaningful offers to help from
alumnae around the country to
support our current students as
they grow,” she said. “St. Albans
alumni have taken the time to
note how much they admire and
respect their [National Cathedral
School] peers.”

20,000 likes and nearly 2,000
shares. The comments it has
spurred have been
overwhelmingly supportive,
with people lauding local action
and praising PTAs.
“I had no idea I’d ever be
rooting for someone in a PTA
election run, let alone in the US,”
tweeted one person. “But good
luck to you from me in Canada!”
One person through Twitter
created a campaign flier for
Raven. Another offered to be her
assistant. Others have donated
more than $600 to the school’s
PTA in small increments.
Someone in California gave $5.
A teacher in Illinois gave $10.
“The powerful response from
all over the country and from
my own community has sent a
message to me that I am not
alone in this vision for a school
that respects people from all
walks of life,” said Raven, who
describes herself as Arab-Latina.
“At my school, and at schools
nationwide, I want to see school
leadership that values diversity
and establishes a firm
commitment to gender justice
and racial justice.”
She also hopes that her
actions will inspire others to get
involved in their own
communities, even if they just
donate to their local PTAs.
“If they can give to mine, they
can give to theirs,” she said.
As for the actual election,
Raven said it could go either way
because it will come down to
what parents at the school
decide. The many people who
have shouted their support for
Raven on Twitter don’t get a
vote.
Even so, if their posts are any
indication, they will be watching
from afar.
“I just have to know how this
ends!” one woman tweeted.
“Good luck from Ohio!”

ROBERT M. O’NEIL, 83

Former U-Va. president was a First Amendment scholar

BY E MILY L ANGER
Robert M. O’Neil, a scholar of
First Amendment law who served
in the 1980s as president of the
University of Wisconsin System
and then as president of the Uni-
versity of Virginia, where he was
credited with recruiting more mi-
norities to the faculty and student
ranks, died Sunday at his home in
Washington. He was 83.
“Speech codes were
unwise and for the most
part unnecessary, even
though they were
adopted for the best
reasons.”
Mr. O’Neil, weighing in on the repeal
of a University of Wisconsin ban on
discriminatory speech
The cause was congestive heart
failure, said his son David O’Neil.
A Boston-born, Harvard-
trained law professor, Mr. O’Neil
arrived at U-Va. in 1985 as the
university’s first president with
“absolutely no ties to the South,”
The Washington Post reported in
a profile. He had previously led
the 13-university system in Wis-
consin for five years and was seen
at his inauguration in Charlottes-
ville as an outsider who would
help raise the national profile of
the institution founded by former
president Thomas Jefferson as an
“academical village.”
Mr. O’Neil remained in his
U-Va. post until 1990, a notably
short tenure at a university that
had had only five previous presi-
dents since 1905. Some colleagues
described him as a “more of a
professor than a president,” The
Post reported when he stepped
down, even as Mr. O’Neil was
lauded for his financial steward-
ship of the university and his
efforts to increase its diversity.
During Mr. O’Neil’s time as
president, the U-Va. endowment
increased to $470 million from
$256 million, and outside re-
search funding grew substantial-
ly, according to The Post. In addi-
tion to spearheading efforts to
draw more minority students and
faculty, he oversaw the establish-
ment of a women’s center on
campus and convened a task force
that highlighted — and sought
ways to remedy — the low num-
ber of female professors.
Mr. O’Neil at times encoun-
tered criticism for his leadership
approach. To admirers, he was
refreshingly deliberative; to crit-
ics, he was insufficiently decisive.
Midway through his tenure, a
provost was appointed to assist
with administrative responsibili-
ties.
A particular source of conten-
tion at the time was the question
of whether and how much to
expand the university. On one
side were prospective students
and parents who wished for
greater enrollment opportuni-
ties; on the other were those who
wished to maintain the campus’s
relatively intimate feel.
“The president is bound to be
caught between those competing
forces,” A.E. Dick Howard, a law
professor and longtime acquain-
tance of Mr. O’Neil’s, told The Post
at the time. “How can he keep all
the sides happy? . . . It calls for
talents people associate with peo-
ple negotiating the fate of the
West Bank.”
After stepping down as U-Va.
president, Mr. O’Neil spent two
decades as founding director of
the nonprofit Thomas Jefferson
Center for the Protection of Free
Expression. The organization, in-
dependent but tied to U-Va., seeks
to defend First Amendment pro-
tections of religion, speech and
the press through court briefs,
public programming, and the
awarding of so-called Jefferson
Muzzle Awards for what it consid-
ers the flagrant violations of those
freedoms. Mr. O’Neil retired in
2011.
Robert Marchant O’Neil was
born in Boston on Oct. 16, 1934.
His father worked in investment
banking, and his mother volun-
teered for philanthropic causes.
At Harvard Mr. O’Neil received
a bachelor’s degree in 1956 and a
master’s degree in 1957, both in
American history, and a law de-
gree in 1961. Upon graduation he
was a law clerk for Justice Wil-
liam J. Brennan Jr., who brought a
sweeping liberal vision of the
Constitution to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
Mr. O’Neil taught at the Univer-
sity of California at Berkeley be-
fore beginning his career in aca-

University of Virginia’s faculty and student body, but was at times Cincinnati and vice president of
disparaged for what critics said was an indecisive approach. Indiana University at Blooming-
ton before joining the University
of Wisconsin in 1980. Throughout
his career he continued teaching
law even as he upheld his admin-
istrative responsibilities.
His books included “The Price
of Dependency: Civil Liberties in
the Welfare State” (1970), “Class-
rooms in the Crossfire” (1981),
“Free Speech in the College Com-
munity” (1997) and “Academic
Freedom in the Wired World”
(2008).
Beyond his academic work, he
served on the boards of organiza-
tions including the Common-
wealth Fund, a private founda-
tion that seeks to improve access
to health care, and the financial
services company then known as
TIAA-CREF.
Survivors include his wife of 51
years, the former Karen Elson of
Washington; four children, Eliza-
beth Layne of Austin, Peter O’Neil
of San Francisco, David O’Neil of
Chevy Chase, Md., and Benjamin
O’Neil of Baltimore; and 13
grandchildren.
Mr. O’Neil’s interest in First
Amendment law and his experi-
ence as a university administra-
tor at times coincided. In 1992, he
was asked to weigh in on the
repeal of a ban at the University of
Wisconsin on speech attacking
one’s race, religion, sexual orien-
tation, disability or heritage.
“The heyday of political cor-
rectness is over,” Mr. O’Neil, then
at the Thomas Jefferson Center,
told The Post. “Speech codes were
unwise and for the most part
unnecessary, even though they
were adopted for the best rea-
sons.”

GEOFF EMERICK, 72

Innovative recording engineer shaped the sound of seminal Beatles albums

FROM S TAFF R EPORTS
AND N EWS S ERVICES
Geoff Emerick, who worked as
a recording engineer for the
Beatles and played an important
role in the creation of landmark
albums such as “Revolver” and
“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts
Club Band,” died Oct. 2. He was
72.
His death was confirmed by
Abbey Road Studios in London,
where Mr. Emerick had begun
his career at 15, the same week
the Beatles began working in the
studio. His manager, William
Zabaleta, told Variety that Mr.
Emerick suffered from heart
problems, and he said the engi-
neer collapsed and died while
they were talking on the tele-
phone.
Mr. Emerick served as the
Beatles’ principal audio engineer
beginning with their 1966 album
“Revolver.”
“He brought a new kind of
mind to the recordings,” Beatles
producer George Martin once
told Mojo magazine, “always sug-
gesting sonic ideas, different
kinds of reverb, what we could
do with the voices. He was quite
prepared to break rules. ‘You call
that top? This is top!’ he’d say,
turning [the dial] all the way
round.”
For the “Revolver” song “To-
morrow Never Knows,” Mr.
Emerick often recalled, he came
up with an unusual solution to a
request from singer John Len-
non, who told him he wanted his
voice to sound like “the Dalai
Lama singing from a mountain-
top 25 miles away from the
studio.”
Mr. Emerick found a way to
process Lennon’s voice through a
revolving speaker to produce a
masterpiece of psychedelic mu-
sic. “That sort of won John over,”
the engineer said in 2016.
Mr. Emerick later worked on

sue for libel
BY PAUL FARHI

A cable news host. Sexual

assault accusers. The New York
Times and The Washington
Post. Stephen K. Bannon. The
Associated Press. A book pub-
lisher.
Donald Trump has threatened
to sue all of them for something
they wrote or said about him. In
each case, the threat proved
hollow, sound and fury signify-
ing nothing more than Trump’s
peeve at a critic. Trump has sued
on occasion, though far less
often than he says he will.
Now Trump has a new would-
be target. Or rather an old
would-be target that has given
him a new reason to rattle the
prospect, if not the reality, of a
lawsuit.
The New York Times on Tues-
day published a sweeping inves-
tigation that documented dec-
ades of elaborate, and possibly
fraudulent, maneuvering by
Trump and his family to avoid
paying taxes on hundreds of
millions of dollars of their
wealth. If anything, the article
punctures a common myth
Trump has promoted — that he
is a self-made billionaire who
started off with “a small loan”
from his father, Fred C. Trump, a
New York real estate developer.
The story’s headline lays out the
essence of the Times’s 18 months
of digging: “Trump Engaged in
Suspect Tax Schemes as He
Reaped Riches From His Fa-
ther.”
The story, like many others,
drew a Trumpian response. His
attorney, Charles Harder, issued
a statement to the paper warn-
ing that Trump might sue.
“The . . . allegations of fraud
and tax evasion are 100 percent
false, and highly defamatory,”
wrote Harder, a feared libel

A who’s who wants you — to volunteer
T
here are plenty of PSA-style
videos out there with celebrities
urging The Young Folk to get out
and cast those ballots in the midterm
elections. But a new supergroup of
VIPs has a slightly different message:
Duh, of course you should vote — but
guys, that’s still not enough.
Former presidential candidate
Hillary Clinton, Vogue Editor in Chief
Anna Wintour, and actresses Tracee
Ellis Ross and Kerry Washington are
among those urging voters in a new
video series not to be content just
pulling a lever but to volunteer ahead
of the midterm elections.
The slate of boldfacers who signed
on for the initiative — called The Last
Weekend, a reference to the
preelection timetable they’re focusing
on, reads like an ultra-woke dream
dinner party guest list: actors Jill
Kargman, Mandy Patinkin, Gina
Gershon, Lena Dunham, Grace and
Mamie Gummer, Kathryn Hahn,
Keiko Agena; Sen. Elizabeth Warren
(D-Mass.); musicians Devendra
Banhart and Jack Antonoff; and a
slew of other creative types.
Organized by Swing Left, the effort
focuses on mobilizing voters in the
midterms on a level typically only seen
in years when there’s a presidential
candidate on the ballot. Partners
include Dem-leaning heavyweights
Organizing for America, Emily’s List,
Move On and Pantsuit Nation.
Clinton, who appears in one of the
videos, tells us that the group was one
of the organizations that caught her
attention after founding her Onward
Together foundation after the 2016
election, and so she was all too happy
to endorse their exhortation to get
people to knock on doors and answer
phones.
“I’ve done that for many decades,”
she said of the pavement-pounding
ask she’s making. “And I’ve always
learned something.”
Asked what her last-minute rallying
strategy is — her Mel Gibson-in-
“Braveheart” speech to the troops —
the former secretary of state
deadpanned.
“It’s not an elaborate pitch,” she
Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has joined celebrities in the Last Weekend initiative.
said. “Just that everything is at stake.”
Clinton said the current news cycle
and the attendant angst it’s stirring on
the left could help turnout. Her
message? “Don’t just sit there and get
upset, don’t get anxious — take your
feelings and do something,” she said.
“Everything you care about is on the
ballot. We have to have a Congress
that holds this administration
accountable, and the only way that
will happen is if we win the House.”
Other big names who appear in the
video were likewise eager to pitch in
— for the video and in the last-minute
midterm push. “Orange Is the New
Black” star Uzo Aduba said she plans
to do voter registration and other
volunteering, as she has before
previous elections (she’s an
enthusiastic voter, to say the least) —
something that sometimes surprises
the people she interacts with. “They’re
like, ‘Oh, my God, it’s you!’ ” she said.
“But before I’m an actor, I’m a citizen,
so it makes sense.”
Her pitch to would-be volunteers?
It’s easy, she said, and actually fun.
Phone-banking is a favorite of hers —
“I’m a talker,” she said. “I’ll be talking
to someone who is seemingly so
different from me, someone in
ANDREW HARRER/BLOOMBERG NEWS
Indiana — and I’m, like, ‘Oh, wait
we’ve been on the phone for 10
minutes,’ and [organizers] were, like,
‘Okay, move it along.’ ”
Swing Left co-founder Ethan
Todras-Whitehill explained that the
idea is to get motivated voters — the
ones likely to volunteer — out of their
often deep-blue bubbles and into
swing districts. “Those people can still
have an impact if they go out there in
purple and red districts,” he said. “If
people want their vote to count and
they don’t live in places where control
is won or lost, they can do that — but
voting is just not enough.”
Christian Bale
throws extra
weight around
as Dick Cheney
Your eyes are not deceiving
you: That is Christian Bale,
playing former vice president
Dick Cheney, in the trailer for
“Vice” that was released
Wednesday.
The movie tracks the political
rise of the former VP, and who
would have thought the “Dark
Knight” star would have made a
perfect Cheney? Apparently
Adam McKay, who wrote and
directed “Vice.”
McKay also made “The Big
Short,” the 2015 movie that
managed to make the most
boring aspects of the 2008
financial crisis actually
entertaining. McKay took home
a screenwriting Oscar for the
movie, which also raked in a
bunch of other nominations,
including best picture.
For “Vice,” Bale packed on the
pounds (40 or more,
reportedly), shaved his head
and apparently did lots of neck
exercises to perfect his look.
The movie, out on Christmas
Day, is packed with other
Hollywood stars who have taken
on Washington personas: Amy
Adams as Lynne Cheney; Steve
Carell as Donald Rumsfeld;
Tyler Perry as Colin Powell;
and Sam Rockwell as George
W. Bush.

Bristol Palin’s first episode of ‘Teen Mom OG’ shows her fighting with her then-husband, who su≠ers from PTSD
The Palin family is back on
reality TV.
Although they say they
dislike media elites, the Palins
have a long history with TV
shows. After Sarah Palin’s
failed bid for vice president in
2008, she landed a TLC series,
“Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” Later,
she starred in the Sportsman
Channel’s “Amazing America
With Sarah Palin.” Her
husband, Todd, competed on
NBC’s “Stars Earn Stripes.”
But their eldest daughter,
Bristol, seems to love reality TV
the most: She was on “Dancing
With the Stars” twice and had
her own Lifetime show, “Life’s a
Tripp.” And starting this week,
she made her debut on the
seventh season premiere of
“Teen Mom OG,” a spinoff of the
hit show “16 and Pregnant.”
Before you ask: Yes, Bristol is
27, so not a teenager. But as she
pointed out on Monday’s
episode, she was once a teen
mom. In fact, when she was
pregnant during her mother’s
vice presidential campaign, she
may have been the most famous
teen mom in the world. Bristol
made sure to explain this to
viewers: “I’m no stranger to
being a young mom in the
public eye.”
Bristol’s story line during the
premiere was a family affair, as
her mother and sisters
(Willow, 24, and Piper, 17)
gathered in Arizona for
Willow’s bachelorette party.
Bristol marveled that she’s the
only Palin who doesn’t live in
Alaska, given that she moved to
Austin after she married
Dakota Meyer in 2016. She
lives there with their toddler
daughters, Sailor and Atlee,
and her son, 9-year-old Tripp,
whose father is her ex-fiance,
Levi Johnston.
Bristol and Dakota divorced
this year, and their split will
play out over the season. It’s
already tragic: Dakota, 30, is a
military veteran suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder.
Bristol told viewers that
Dakota’s PTSD “has been really
hard on our marriage” and that
“it’s been a challenge to keep
our family together.”
In the beginning of the
episode, Bristol explained that
MARK GAIL/THE WASHINGTON POST
while she was away at the
Bristol Palin has returned to reality TV in “Teen Mom OG.” bachelorette party, Dakota took
their daughters on a trip to
Kentucky, his home state. “It’s
the first time he's taken them by
himself like this,” Bristol said.
“How did he do on the
flight?” Sarah asked.
“He said they did good. I’m
proud of him,” Bristol assured
her mother. “I’m relieved that
he’s such a good dad that I don't
have to worry.”
However, the episode
concluded with an extremely
disturbing scene, as the couple
had a huge fight. Amid noises of
their kids playing in the
background, Dakota and Bristol
tried to explain their issues to
two “Teen Mom” producers.
Bristol said she knows that
Dakota suffers from PTSD, but
he takes his anxiety out on her
and she can’t handle it — she
doesn’t want her kids to think
that’s what marriage looks like.
Dakota responded that he feels
terrible that he’s said some
awful things but that he relives
fellow servicemen dying in
front of him every single day,
and he wished Bristol could
understand his pain.
“I’m a punching bag for
everything that he goes through
internally,” Bristol said, adding
that she’s never sure whether
his anger is the anxiety or just
him being cruel.
“Well, I don’t know what’s
PTSD or what’s not,” Dakota
said, mocking Bristol’s tone.
“Are you kidding me? You
wonder why I go off the rails
and why it gets amplified? And
all I want you to do is love me
and be there for my scars.”
The whole argument was
tough to watch, and MTV
promised there’s more to come.
On the after-show, Bristol told
viewers that Dakota has
“sought out treatment, and he
is taking steps to try to control
[his anxiety] and to better
himself.” And she explained
why she wanted to show her life
on television once again.
“I’ve grown up so much the
last 10 years, and I think that
God gave me this platform to be
on this show, to open up my life
and to discuss things that are
going on or that I’m passionate
about,” Bristol said. “If I can
help or encourage others, then I
think that that’s what God
wanted me to do.”

A new wave of urban shamans for well-heeled seekers
SHAMANS FROM C1
“It’s all about energy, you
know?” she said. “Kendrick La-
mar said that. ‘I can feel your
energy from two planets away.’ ”
Wellness, the 2018 Edition, cer-
tainly seems to be catapulting us
further into the astral plane. Like
the seekers of the 1960s and ’70s,
a new generation of self-care
devotees is taking up ceremonial
sage burnings (known in New Age
circles as “smudging”), singing
bowls, Japanese reiki, crystals,
Mayan sweat lodges and
ayurvedic massages. Sephora is
selling a $160 rose-quartz Crystal
Energy Comb. And the spiritually
lost are seeking face time with
shamans — in the case of Hane-
kamp’s clients, paying $325 an
hour for the privilege.
“There’s a more inner, pro-
found searching that I’m seeing in
myself and a lot of people around
me,” said Katherine Lo, the mil-
lennial executive behind Eaton
Workshop, the new hotel/club/
workspace hybrid in downtown
Washington that hosted Haneka-
mp’s ceremony. Eaton is now
contracting with its own shaman-
ic consultant.
Lo’s personal mid-20s emo-
tional fugue took her to a Zen
monastery, a famed Big Sur re-
treat, and finally, to a shamanic
workshop in Arizona. There, she
says, she was induced into a
trance by drumming. “You learn
on one level to just connect to
nature and start to receive mes-
sages from nature,” she said.
“It’s bringing information from
the invisible,” adds François De-
mange, the Eaton’s on-call sha-
man. “Somehow, I believe that’s
what people are looking for —
having access to more than what
the world is giving them.”
“I hate to use ‘cultural mo-
ment,’ ” says Lo. “But all my peers
are searching for this, when they
wouldn’t have cared 10 years ago.”
F
or most of us, “shaman” may
evoke images of head-
dresses and trippy nights in
the forests of South America.
But there’s no one kind of
shaman. The word itself is said to
hail from Siberia, and shamans
have existed in many forms
around the world for centuries:
In Korean cultures, they’re called
mudang; in Yoruba, babalawo;
among the Bedouins, fugara.
What they have in common,
says Susan Mokelke, president of
the 35-year-old Foundation for
Shamanic Studies in Mill Valley,
Calif., is an ability to converse
with spirits. “Shamans alter their
state of consciousness,” she says.
Whether they do that with mind-
bending drugs or with a steady
beat of a drum, they aim to
journey mentally into the depths
of another realm. “They ac-
knowledge there are two reali-
ties.”
Her foundation, started by
anthropologist Michael Harner,
promotes an amalgam of sha-
manism from Harner’s studies
around the world, says his wid-
ow, Sandra Harner. “It’s acultur-
al,” Harner says. “It was impor-
tant that we weren’t stealing

and Maria, doing the jobs that
we’re doing, we’re not always at
home.”
The chef said it was “too soon
to tell” whether these disrup-
tions to his operations have af-
fected sales at Fiola.
The Trabocchis, the chef said,
are in a tricky situation. They
don’t want to add fuel to a
still-smoldering situation, but
they also want to explain them-
selves and to clarify some points
that have taken on a life of their
own on social media. The couple
issued an email statement over
the weekend to friends and regu-
lar patrons of Fiola. For starters,
Trabocchi said, the staff did ev-
erything within their limited
powers to protect Cruz and his
spouse. Staffers shielded the
Cruzes from protesters as they
escorted the couple out of the
restaurant. Employees then con-
cealed the Cruzes in the kitchen
for about 10 minutes until police
cleared the protesters.
Once the restaurant was clear,
the Cruzes returned to their
table and had dinner as sched-
uled, Trabocchi said, counter to
some reports that the couple had
left for good that evening.
The staff was “dealing with a
situation they don’t deserve, and
they are not honestly prepared
. THE WASHINGTON POST
anybody’s spiritual property.”
But the shamans of this resur-
rected New Age have broadened
their services. In Miami, the spa
at the Faena Hotel enlisted a
Mexican shaman to oversee its
“healing” treatments, which
aren’t exactly massages so much
as spiritual greasings-up (start-
ing at $300), complete with
“Sacred Oils, butters, resins,
healing stones and poultices,”
according to the menu. In the
eco-chic Mexican vacation desti-
nation of Tulum, shamans lead
sweat lodges known as
temazcals, drawing seekers

to deal with and they shouldn’t
be,” Trabocchi said. “People ex-
pect us [to] throw these people
out. We can’t do that. We can’t
use force. We need the police to
come in and to do what they
need to do.”
“There is no restaurant that I
know that trains its staff to deal
with a situation of this kind,” the
chef continued. “Perhaps it’s the
result of the time we’re living in.
Perhaps it’s the fact that we’re in
Washington, D.C. . . . I just want
“There is no restaurant
that I know that trains
its staff to deal with a
situation of this kind.”
Fabio Trabocchi,
chef and co-owner of Fiola
to make sure that they have
training that they can follow,
even though those situations, as
you can imagine, they happen
very quickly.”
Among Cruz supporters, it
appears to be a widely held
belief that someone at Fiola
tipped off protesters to the sena-
tor’s presence. Trabocchi doesn’t
know who provided the intel to
protesters, but he’s hired an
investigator to seek some an-
swers. Here’s what he knows: An
assistant for Cruz apparently
made the reservation for the
stressed-out minds. You can find
shamanic drumming playlists
on Spotify.
For some seekers, the allure of
shamanism can be slightly more
illicit: Some shamans, including
Demange, offer ayahuasca, one
of the buzziest drugs of the year
and a potent ceremonial psyche-
delic that turns shamanic jour-
neys, into, well, full-on trips.
Some shamans don’t even call
themselves shamans — Haneka-
mp doesn’t, for example — but for
many it’s part of their marketing.
Colleen McCann is a former
fashion stylist who now offers a
full array of shamanic services
couple. Following the standard
protocol for Fiola, managers let
the front-of-the-house staff
know about the VIP diners that
evening, including the Cruzes.
About an hour before the sena-
tor and his wife arrived, six
protesters took seats at the bar,
“acting just like customers,” Tra-
bocchi said.
“The moment that the senator
walked in, their intention was
clear,” he continued. “Six more of
them entered the restaurant
quickly from the front and they
went up to the face of the sena-
tor, which we didn’t allow.”
Aside from an investigator,
the Trabocchis have also hired a
security guard for Fiola. What’s
more, they’re investing more in
staff training to try to de-esca-
late these kind of situations in
the future. Trabocchi declined to
say how much money he’s spent
in the aftermath of Cruz’s visit
but calls it “substantial.” He said
it’s necessary to be ready for the
next group of protesters.
It seems a wise investment.
Dining disruptions have clearly
become a tool for progressives
looking to express their frustra-
tion at the Trump administra-
tion and its supporters, includ-
ing Cruz: In June, protesters
confronted Kirstjen Nielsen, the
Homeland Security secretary, as
she tried to dine at MXDC Coci-
na Mexicana. That month, a
diner at Espita Mezcaleria called
Stephen Miller a “real-life fas-
cist” while the White House
senior adviser tried to eat at the

base of music executives, ad-
men, fashionistas, Wall Street
titans and staffers for the life-
style empire known as Goop
(she’s its in-house shaman and
crystals expert). One of her
specific market niches: scrub-
bing bad energies from their
wardrobes.
It all started one night a
decade ago, she says, when she
was trying to get a 2 a.m.
sandwich at a New York bodega.
She was struck by a clairvoyant
vision — a voice, really, that
warned her of a fight that was
trendy Mexican restaurant in
Shaw.
One of the left-wing groups
apparently responsible for the
Fiola disruption issued a state-
ment on Facebook, saying, in
effect, get ready for more of the
same: “This is a message to Ted
Cruz, Brett M. Kavanaugh, Don-
ald Trump and the rest of the
racist, sexist, transphobic, and
homophobic right-wing scum:
You are not safe. We will find
you. We will expose you. We will
take from you the peace you have
taken from so many others,” the
statement read.
Trabocchi said such a charged
political atmosphere places
more responsibilities on restau-
rateurs. One of the keys for staff,
the chef said, is to remain calm
in the face of angry protesters.
Don’t react and escalate the
situation.
“I don’t think it’s a require-
ment of any of the servers . . . to
have a confrontation and act like
a SWAT team,” Trabocchi said.
“There is no restaurant that is
ready for this. It’s a completely
new situation, and it’s unfair to
expect that a staff working at a
restaurant will expose them-
selves to a physical danger or
risk.”
A representative for Cruz did
not respond to a request for
comment, but Trabocchi said the
senator “was happy about the
way we handled the situation,
and he thanked the team when
he left.”

about to occur over the price of
the bananas. What followed was
a long string of coincidences,
strange encounters and psychic
consultations, somehow culmi-
nating in her enrollment in
shaman school.
Speaking during a break at her
own shamanic workshop in
Nashville, McCann compared
herself to social-media trendset-
ters, who can sway followers’
purchases, clothing choices and
more.
“People say, ‘You don’t look
like a shaman.’ Which I take as a
huge compliment actually, be-
cause we’re seeing healers diver-
C3
sify and go into different spaces
than they normally would.”
Her spin just happens to be
one part Old World, and one part
Instagram.
D
ana Robinson, an Easton,
Md.-based teaching associ-
ate with the foundation,
has been a seeker since his
college days in Washington, in
the 1960s. He dabbled with med-
itation and the Rajneesh move-
ment (the same one chronicled
in the Netflix series “Wild Wild
Country”). Then he found sha-
manic traditions. Now, over the
course of two-day workshops, he
shows students how to journey
to those worlds, too — one of
which he describes to me as
something like Alice tumbling
down the rabbit hole.
We decide to try to see wheth-
er I can journey. Robinson lays
out some rules of engagement for
entering this otherworldly place,
telling me to try to find a hole or
staircase in my mind, something
familiar, and follow it to what he
calls the “lower world.” He beats
a drum to help me mentally
check out of this one.
Shamans say most people can
journey. But the rabbit hole
eludes me.
Though they were seekers in
the ’70s and ’80s, Robinson and
others from the foundation do
not immediately rejoice at the
news of a youthful new wave of
shamans, whom they view with
cautious skepticism.
“People who do this work
don’t make guarantees,” says
Mokelke. “They’re humble.”
After all, Hanekamp has
dubbed her New York business
Mama Medicine. McCann “pre-
scribes” crystals to her clients.
Still, she clarifies that seeing a
shaman should not replace a
visit to a doctor.
“East and West medicines, old
and new, both have a place and
should play together,” she says.
“It’s so important to try every-
thing.”
Heather Mikesell, executive
editor of the trade magazine
American Spa, did. She ventured
into a temazcal on a recent trip to
a Mexican resort, where soul
cleansing is listed on spa menus
alongside massages and facials.
The memory is hazy, naturally.
“You’re just sweating in there,”
she says, in the dark, with a
bunch of strangers and a sha-
man, who posed just one ques-
tion to contemplate: What did
she want?
The question was probably
existential. But “it was intense,”
she says, laughing. “You’re in
there for like an hour, and you
reach a certain point where
you’re like, I just need air.”
This year, American Spa listed
“intentional” wellness and crys-
tals as two of its biggest trends.
“We’re so tethered to technol-
ogy, all this plays into that,”
explains Mikesell. “I think peo-
ple really love rituals. I think
we’re going to look for other
ways to feel ‘in’ our bodies.
People want their chakras
aligned.”

C4 EZ RE THE WASHINGTON POST . THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4 , 2018

President rarely follows through on his threats to sue

SUE FROM C1

lawyer who represented Hulk “Neither the court nor

Hogan in winning a $140 mil-
lion judgment against the gossip
site Gawker in 2016. He added,
“Should the Times state or imply
that President Trump partici-
pated in fraud, tax evasion or
any other crime, it will be expos-
ing itself to substantial liability
and damages for defamation.”
Though it probably won’t,
primarily for legal reasons.
Not only would Trump be
unlikely to win such a claim,
according to legal experts, he
would be required as part of the
discovery process to provide
private financial documents
that he has long resisted making
public.
Nevertheless, the Times is
among the many organizations
and individuals that Trump has
suggested he’d take legal action
against. During the 2016 presi-
dential campaign, he issued a
legal fatwa against the Times for
an article that reported two
women’s allegations of unwant-
ed touching who had met Trump
years earlier.
The threat elicited a sharp-
edged response from the news-
paper’s lawyer, David E. Mc-
Craw: “If Mr. Trump . . . believes
that American citizens had no
right to hear what these women
had to say and that the law of
this country forces us and those
who would dare to criticize him
to stand silent or be punished,
we welcome the opportunity to
have a court set him straight.”
Trump didn’t sue.
The same thing happened (or
actually didn’t happen) on at
least a dozen other occasions in
which Trump made threats.
Trump made noises about
suing MSNBC host Lawrence
O’Donnell in 2011 after O’Don-
nell questioned Trump’s claims
of vast wealth; no lawsuit was
filed.
Trump vowed action during
the campaign against a dozen
women who had accused him of
sexual assault. “The events nev-
er happened,” he said in a
speech. “Never. All of these liars
will be sued after the election is
over.”
They haven’t been.
President Trump has threatened to sue the Times before, and The Washington Post, Michael Wolff, Steve Bannon, Bill Maher and others.
More empty threats have been
leveled against — among others
— The Post (for reporting on the
failure of one of his casinos in
Atlantic City); publisher Simon
and Schuster (over Michael
Wolff ’s book, “Fire and Fury”);
Bannon, the former White
House adviser (for talking to
Wolff); the Associated Press (for
an October 2015 article report-
ing that a condo-management
team appointed by the Trump
family had cheated residents);
and Tony Schwartz, co-author of
the Trump book “Art of the Deal”
(for comments about Trump
that Schwartz made to the New
Yorker).
As a legal matter, Trump faces
a very high bar in winning a
defamation lawsuit, and he ap-
pears to know it. Public figures
such as Trump not only must
show that the statements at
issue are false but that a publica-
tion knew they were false and
published them anyway. Trump
has called this “reckless disre-
gard” standard “a sham and a
disgrace” and has repeatedly
said he wants to “open up” libel
laws so that he could more easily
win a lawsuit. (He has never won
any such case in court.)
Even if he stands little chance
in court and has no intention of
proving a story is wrong,
Trump’s lawsuit threats serve
another purpose, said RonNell
Andersen Jones, a law professor
at the University of Utah.
“Neither the court nor the
Times is the intended audience
of these sorts of statements,” she
said in an email on Wednesday.
“The president’s political base —
ordinary Americans who surely
cannot be expected to know the
ins and outs of constitutional
standards for defamation plain-
tiffs — will hear the threat of
lawsuit and register only that
the news organization has so
JABIN BOTSFORD/THE WASHINGTON POST
crossed the line that the presi-
dent is going to sue it. This
serves to further delegitimize
the press and construct it as an
enemy that is not to be trusted.”
Jones said this “othering” of
the press casts Trump as the
source of truth and news organi-
zations as sources of falsehood.
Trump actually has sued for
libel on occasion, although typi-
cally without much to show for
it.
He filed against author Tim
O’Brien, a former New York
Times journalist, in 2006 for
O’Brien’s assertion in a book
that Trump was worth far less
the Times is the
intended audience
of these sorts
of statements.”
RonNell Andersen Jones, a law
professor at the University of Utah
than he had publicly claimed.
Trump pursued the claim for
five years, spent about $1 mil-
lion in legal fees — and lost in
court twice.
Trump also sued comic Bill
Maher in 2013 for joking — amid
Trump’s “birtherism” phase —
that he would donate $5 million
to a charity if Trump could
provide documentary evidence
that he wasn’t “the spawn of his
mother having sex with an
orangutan.” The comment fol-
lowed Trump’s offer to give
$5 million to charity if President
Barack Obama publicly released
his college transcripts and pass-
port records to prove that he
was an American citizen. Trump
withdrew the suit a few weeks
later, vowing to refile it. He
didn’t.
On the other hand, Melania
Trump sued the Daily Mail and a
Maryland blogger last year after
both falsely suggested that she
had worked as an escort before
meeting Trump. The first lady
agreed to a $2.9 million settle-
ment with the Daily Mail and an
undisclosed monetary settle-
ment with the blogger, Webster
Tarpley.
Harder, who handled those
lawsuits and is also represent-
ing the president, declined to
comment on the Times story on
Wednesday, beyond the state-
ment included in the story.
A Times spokesman, Eileen
Murphy, stuck to a statement
calling the newspaper’s story “a
powerful piece of investigative
journalism” that is “accurate
and fair and we stand behind it.”
She added, “we’re not going to
speculate on what may or may
not happen” as far as litigation.

“S plinter bids” help to
find good slams (and
avoid bad slams) based on
hands that fit together well
or badly. An unusual jump
shows shortness in the suit
(a singleton or void, by agree-
ment) and support for part-
ner’s suit.
In today’s deal, North’s
jump to three spades
showed a singleton plus
diamond support. South was RHYMES WITH ORANGE HILARY PRICE MARK TRAIL JAMES ALLEN
willing to jump to five dia-
monds: He had no “wasted”
honors in spades.
West cashed a high spade
and shifted to a heart.
Declarer played low from
dummy, hoping West had led
from the king, but East won
and exited with a heart. At
the end, South lost a club:
down one.
The contract was fine, LIO MARK TATULLI MOTHER GOOSE & GRIMM MIKE PETERS
but South erred. He should
grab the ace of hearts, lead
a trump to his hand, ruff a
spade, lead a trump to his
hand and ruff his last spade.
South then cashes the ace of
clubs and exits with a heart.
If clubs are breaking 4-1
— the only danger — the

HOROSCOPE

BIRTHDAY | OCTOBER 4
This year you present
yourself as social and
generally upbeat.
You always seem
ready to have a talk or share
information. You naturally
express your personality. If
you are single, you find that
whether you are conscious
of it or not, you like being a
free agent. Be honest about
your likes and desires. If you
DILBERT SCOTT ADAMS JUDGE PARKER FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & MIKE MANLEY are attached, you enjoy your
significant other to no end.
The two of you spend a lot
of time together. Leo likes to
party with you!
ARIES
(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).
Your temper seems to be
close to the surface. You might
have had some experience
taming the anger within, which
makes it less likely that you
will explode. Be forgiving if
someone starts acting out or
simply becomes wild.
TAURUS
FRAZZ JEF MALLETT CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL (APRIL 20-MAY 20).
A domestic issue emerges
that could put you deep
into thought. Reverie might
not be appropriate at work!
Extremes seem to mark your
day. Connect with others, and
express your concerns.
GEMINI
(MAY 21-JUNE 20).
You have a way of expressing
yourself and your needs.
You might want to take a
break from the immediate
situation. Go off and take
a walk, then share your
GARFIELD JIM DAVIS BARNEY AND CLYDE WEINGARTENS & CLARK thoughts openly.
CANCER
(JUNE 21-JULY 22).
Build yourself up. Consider
taking a class, or schedule
more frequent gym visits.
Be careful when dealing
with a partner. Stay centered,
and do not allow yourself to
be thrown off-kilter.
LEO
(JULY 23-AUG. 22).
You beam and draw others
toward you. As a result,
your positive attitude goes
far. Others tend to reveal
DUSTIN STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER
much more when you are
open with them. Watch a
tendency to be excessive
in your self-expression.
VIRGO
(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).
You could be dealing with
more than your share of
details and issues. You also
have a lot of information to
digest. You will have a new
beginning if you decide to
change certain patterns.
LIBRA
(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).
PRICKLY CITY Get down to basics when
SCOTT STANTIS LOOSE PARTS DAVE BLAZEK
having a discussion. You
cannot avoid a conversation
for long -- and the sooner you
have it, the better. Your anger
is close to the surface. Try to
avoid an eruption of fury. Be
careful if you feel hot under
the collar.
SCORPIO
(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).
You decide to have a long-
overdue conversation with
a higher-up. You could have
difficulty getting a situation
under control, especially as
you might be harboring some
NON SEQUITUR WILEY BABY BLUES RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT undefined resentment or
anger. Honor your differences.
SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).
When trying to piece together
a problematic situation,
detach and try to imagine
what it is like to be in the other
person’s shoes. Identifying
with others helps you come up
with a reasonable solution for
all parties involved.
CAPRICORN
(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).
You are able to look at a
problem from a unique
BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE ON THE FASTRACK BILL HOLBROOK
perspective. As a result of
your unusual view, you see
what others don’t. In fact, a
solution might not be needed,
but rather understanding and
empathy toward each other.
Ask questions, if necessary.
AQUARIUS
(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).
Defer to others, and let
them clearly express their
agendas. You are unlikely
to lose yourself if you allow
another person to dominate
for a while. You also might
understand why you do not
BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER PEARLS BEFORE SWINE STEPHAN PASTIS like being as passive as you
are.
PISCES
(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).
Deal with a work-related
matter. Your schedule might
be intense and very busy. You
could wonder what way would
be best to present a new idea.
You might want to wait for now.
Ask a close loved one if you
are projecting negativity.

BY NELSON PRESSLEY
The civics lessons taking center
stage in Washington theater now
include the die-hard primer “Born
Yesterday,” a finger-wagging 1946
comedy that ought to be a relic but
is a timely, full-out brawl at Ford’s
Theatre. The Capitol dome looms
in the background as the play’s
thuggish, breathtakingly ignorant
businessman comes to Washing-
ton, throws his weight around
and bullies his longtime girl-
friend, who gradually finds her
voice.
“Born Yesterday” is Garson Ka-
nin’s poison dart aimed at a lazy
American public — “A world full
of ignorant people is too danger-
ous to live in,” declares the show’s
hero, the bespectacled journalist
Paul Verrall — and at fat-cat
special interests. Harry Brock is a
multimillionaire junk man and
raging egotist who has come to
rig Congress in favor of his “free
market” angles. Brock, played to
the gangster hilt by Edward Gero,
doesn’t care how things are done
in official Washington. Instead,
he bellows about his success and
expects everyone to jump each
time he snaps his fingers.
Of course that goes for Billie
Dawn, the ex-showgirl who bub-
bles along on Brock’s arm without
a care in her head until Brock
hires Verrall to smarten her up.
(This is really about him: He
wants to look good to D.C. soci-
ety’s stuffed shirts.) As Billie, Kim-
berly Gilbert delivers a daring
physical performance: If this pro-
duction has a revelation, it’s in
showing how, and at what cost,
sexuality is the only currency this
woman has ever known. Gilbert

flits like a windup doll through
Daniel Lee Conway’s opulent,
two-floor hotel room set, her body
over-revealed in Kelsey Hunt’s
mid-20th-century lingerie. It’s un-
comfortable to watch, on purpose.
Where it goes is right into the
domestic-violence wing of the
#MeToo movement.
None of this is to say that Aaron
Posner’s big, brash, glistening pro-
duction makes “Born Yesterday”
great again. Though it was a
CAROL ROSEGG/CAROL ROSEGG
Broadway hit and a popular film
(both with Judy Holliday as Billie
Dawn), and is always being re-
made (as a Melanie Griffith movie
in 1993) or revived (at Arena Stage
in 2005, on Broadway in 1989 and
2011), the play can be as hectoring
as Brock. There’s no real suspense
in the inevitable poetic justice as
Brock gets his comeuppance, with
lectures and deflating punchlines
on democracy and a free press
included.
bert, whose Billie twirls in nose to
nose and yells back with force
each time Gero’s Brock shouts.
“He has always lived at the top
of his voice,” one of Brock’s entou-
rage remarks.
The cast includes an incisive,
cynical Eric Hissom as Brock’s
lawyer, speaking reason through
a haze of booze, and Todd Sco-
field in a brief hilarious turn as a
dignified but flummoxed senator
trying to explain the way of the
world to Billie. If there’s modulat-
ing to be done, it’s in Cody
Nickell’s turn as the intellectual
Paul, who always gets the last
word. Kanin made Paul smug,
and Nickell isn’t softening that.
Posner’s actors are never cowed
by period style; instead, they seem
unleashed, and their brio goes a
long way to selling this war horse.
But “Born Yesterday” wasn’t cho-
sen just for its charm and laffs,
though it’s still funny as naive
Billie hits the books and spouts
malapropisms about literacy and
up, this is the place.
Opening-night audiences easily
leap to their feet, but that didn’t
happen Wednesday. The applause
was warm, but the crowd knew
what it had seen: an uneasy wres-
tling match between a period
piece and the way we live now.
The production updates nothing
and yes, it often sounds old. Yet in
Gero’s mouthy self-absorption, in
Gilbert’s moving transformation
and in the nonstop real political
theater that so obviously corre-
sponds to the “Born Yesterday”
outline, it’s alive — awkward and
creaking, but barking back angri-
ly at this disordered moment.

bridge’s Downing College. An
intense young man, the not
quite 19-year-old Sherlock is
arrogant, stubborn, argumenta-
tive and almost bloodthirsty in
his taste for newspaper ac-
counts of the latest crimes and
atrocities. Recently, these have
included a series of grotesque
murders in which the victims —
most of them Chinese — have
been mutilated and their bodies
chopped into quarters.
While talking with two of
Douglas’s newest pupils, Sher-
lock notices that the elder shows
hypodermic needle marks on
various parts of his body. Short-
ly thereafter, the boy unexpect-
edly disappears. Douglas and
Mycroft are naturally upset and
concerned about the welfare of
this apparent runaway. Sher-
lock, however, senses that some-
thing deeper and far more dis-
turbing is going on.
As the novel progresses, we
see Mycroft acting as Queen
Victoria’s fixer, then growing
infatuated with an elegantly
beautiful Chinese woman, while
Douglas — the most cultivated
of men — periodically confronts
Victorian racism, since he must
pretend to be merely the servant
of his school’s imaginary white
benefactor. Meanwhile, Sher-

allure of sleuthing and goes
undercover to learn the missing
boy’s secrets.

“Mycroft and Sherlock” never
aims to emulate the familiar

while reserving stylistic fire-

These include Cockney shop

The Stanley Cup

The Score defending champion
FRED BOWEN Washington
Capitals . . .
Doesn’t that sound
great? Let’s say it again!
The Stanley Cup defending
champion Washington Capitals . . .
began their 2018-2019 National Hockey
League (NHL) season Wednesday by
raising their first Stanley Cup
championship banner in their home
opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Caps should be a shoo-in to
make the NHL playoffs this season
unless they are too tired from
celebrating their Stanley Cup victory.
Sixteen of the NHL’s 31 teams make
postseason play.
Washington has a new head coach in
Todd Reirden, but their “core-four”
superstars are back: Alex Ovechkin
(607 career goals); Nicklas Backstrom
(590 career assists); goalie Braden
Holtby (three-time all-star) and
defenseman John Carlson (68 points
last season).
The key to the season, however, may
be the Caps younger players. Evgeny
Kuznetsov (26 years old), Jakub Vrana
(22) and Devante Smith-Pelly (26) all
played important roles in the playoffs
last spring. If they can continue to get
better, the Caps could be a real
powerhouse.
Of course, anything can happen in
the NHL playoffs as the Caps showed
during their thrilling postseason run. I
looked at the past 20 NHL playoff
seasons. The teams with the best
regular-season records in the Eastern
and Western conferences made the
Stanley Cup finals about 20 percent of
the time.
So the important thing is for the
Caps to make the playoffs and see what
happens. They should have plenty of
firepower to do that.
Win or lose this season, the Capitals’
2018 Stanley Cup victory has been a big
win for local youth hockey. I contacted
Young Capitals fans play on the ice in Sweden in August. The team’s Christian Djoos and Nicklas Backstrom played in the

Debbie Moon, a member of the board of
directors of the Potomac Valley
Amateur Hockey Association (PVAHA).
The PVAHA is the governing body of all
of the nonprofessional hockey teams in
Maryland, Virginia and the District.
With the beginning of the Caps
season, Moon told me the PVAHA is
seeing more kids contact their local
rinks to start playing hockey. According
to the PVAHA, more than 10,000 kids
under age 18 are playing in the
Washington area, including almost
1,400 girls. Looks like the Caps success
has gotten a lot of kids excited about
hockey.
Want to get in on the fun? Moon said
that local rinks will be participating in

An illustration of the possible
planet that could be shaping the

Odd dwarf planet
gets a spooky
name: the Goblin
A scrawny dwarf planet nicknamed
the Goblin has been discovered well
beyond Pluto.
The Goblin, a round, frozen world
just 186 miles across, got its spooky
name because it was spotted by
astronomers in 2015 around
Halloween. But it wasn’t publicly
unveiled until Tuesday, after further
observations with ground telescopes.
Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie
Institution for Science, one of the
astronomers who made the discovery,
said the Goblin is small for a dwarf
planet. The Goblin’s orbit is extremely
elongated — so stretched out that it
takes 40,000 years for it to circle the sun.
At its closest, the Goblin is 65 times
farther from the sun than Earth.
As many as a million more such
objects could be out there orbiting the
solar system, researchers said.
“The more of them we can find, the
better we can understand the outer
solar system and the possible planet
that we think is shaping their orbits
— a discovery that would redefine our
knowledge of the solar system’s
evolution,” Sheppard said.

A DAY UNLIKE ANY OTHER: Scenes from the day the Capitals raised the first Stanley Cup banner in franchise history (clockwise from top left): The team sent the trophy around the city for one final tour,
including a stop at the Lincoln Memorial; T.J. Oshie arrives on the red carpet before Wednesday’s game; Braden Holtby is congratulated by teammates after the win; the Caps watch the banner rise to the rafters.

Pick a moment and freeze it. Don’t let it

is over now, officially done at 7:45 p.m. on
Wednesday, when Alex Ovechkin kissed
the Stanley Cup and it went back into its
case, locked up and headed eventually for
Barry Toronto, no longer Washington’s to drink

Ah, to heck with that. These
Washington Capitals, they know something about
pushing past last call, about extending a party. And so
there was Wednesday in Chinatown, one final group hug
with these guys before the present becomes more
important than the past.
“All the fans see the Cup on the ice,” Ovechkin said. “It
was kind of a historic moment for us.”
Open a new chapter, then. Why not start it with a goal
from T.J. Oshie on the first shift of the season? You half
expected Oshie to pull a Bud Light from under his

Wilson suspended 20 games

BY I SABELLE K HURSHUDYAN
Just hours before the Washington Capitals’ Stanley Cup
banner-raising ceremony, forward Tom Wilson was sus-
pended 20 games by the NHL’s Department of Player
Safety for an illegal check to the head of St. Louis Blues
forward Oskar Sundqvist in the teams’ preseason finale.
Sundqvist suffered a concussion and a shoulder injury on
the hit.
Wilson’s fourth suspension in his past 105 games,
including preseason and playoffs, was in part assessed for
“an unprecedented frequency of suspensions in the history
of the Department of Player Safety,” according to a video
explanation the department released with the ruling.
Wilson won’t be available until the Capitals’ Nov. 21 game
against the Chicago Blackhawks. Based on his average
annual value, he will lose $1.26 million in game checks. The
money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
The team expects Wilson to appeal the suspension. He

MLB ad is D.C. SPORTS BOG

Koepka
reminder ‘torn up’
that game’s about fan
about fun hit by shot
BY D ES B IELER BY C INDY B OREN

Before the playoffs got under-
way Tuesday night, Major League
Baseball took square aim at the
infamous, unwritten rules of its
own sport. In an ad featuring some
of baseball’s most demonstrative
young stars, MLB made it clear
that it wants nothing more than to
see its postseason marked by bat
flips, posing at the plate and other
long frowned-upon acts of cel-
ebration.
Showing the Los Angeles Dodg-
ers’ Yasiel Puig, Houston’s Carlos
Correa, Boston’s Mookie Betts and
Atlanta’s Ronald Acuna Jr., the ad
has a voice-over from Ken Griffey
Jr. The Hall of Famer, 48, quotes
some of the criticisms leveled over
the decades at baseball players
who have had the temerity to ex-
press themselves in ways deemed
by others as showing a lack of
respect for the game, the oppo-
nent or both.
“They said, ‘Rules are rules,’ ”
Griffey begins, before reciting
phrases such as:

“Don’t stop and stare.”

“Don’t flip your bat.”

“Respect the jersey.”

“Don’t celebrate. Keep your
head down.”




“Immature.”
“Showboat.”
Griffey appears at the end of the
ad, wearing his hat on backward,
which was something of an icono-
clastic trademark of his during his
heyday as “The Kid” in the 1990s.
“No more talk. Let the kids play,”
Griffey tells the camera.
The ad appears to reflect an
understanding by MLB officials
that some, if not most, of their
most prominent young players are
chafing under an informal but oft-
invoked code that seeks to pro-
mote conformity and self-efface-
ment. The Washington Nationals’
Bryce Harper, for example, told
ESPN in 2016 that baseball is “a
tired sport because you can’t ex-
press yourself.”
Now, however, it’s clear that, as
the spotlight shines its brightest
on baseball, MLB is on the side of
all the “kids” who want to bring
more playfulness to the diamond.

“They absolutely made us feel part of the team,” Luke Markus, above, said of the Blues, with whom he practiced Sunday.
Midshipman practices with pros
BY J ACOB B OGAGE
It was one-on-one: Vladimir
Tarasenko, a three-time NHL all-star and
St. Louis Blues right wing, vs. Luke
Markus, the Naval Academy’s club
hockey team goaltender.
Tarasenko skated in hard from the
right and bluffed a shot to the top-left
corner of the net. Markus lunged to
defend it, then looked down to realize he
had been fooled. The puck slid through
his legs. Markus laughed and smiled so
big, teammates could see it through his
face mask at center ice.
The Blues spent last weekend in
Annapolis, a team bonding trip before a
preseason game with the Washington
Capitals. On Sunday, St. Louis players
who weren’t playing in that day’s game
against the Capitals practiced at the
Naval Academy as the Midshipmen’s
club team looked on.
St. Louis coaches asked whether there
was another goalie around so the team
could get some extra shots on net. Navy
players started hollering for Markus to
get his pads on.
“I thought I was going to get my stuff
on and [the Blues] were going to say,
‘Buddy, come on now. You can’t skate
with us,’ ” Markus said.
Instead, coaches told him to get in
goal as St. Louis players fired shots at
him. Then they played an intrasquad
game of three-on-three. Then there was a
shootout drill.
Navy teammates lined the rink with
their mouths agape as the practice went
on and on. In all, Markus, a senior, was on
the ice with the Blues for close to an hour.
“It was a dream,” Markus said. “I got to
With Blues in Annapolis
and in need of a goaltender,

live out one of my dreams.”
For years, playing college hockey and
attending the Naval Academy had been
aspirations that were in opposition for
Markus. He started skating at age 3 and
picked up a hockey stick at 4. By 5, he
played on his first travel team as a
defenseman and goaltender. By 6, goalie
was his only spot on the ice.
When he reached middle school, he
figured out just how good he would
become at blocking pucks. If he went to
prep school, there was a path to college
hockey, and from there, who knows?
But over a summer vacation, his father
took him to see a space shuttle launch at
Cape Canaveral in Florida.
“I watched that spacecraft go up and
thought, ‘That is the coolest thing I’ve
ever seen in my life. I want to do that,’ ” he
said.
He started studying up on astronauts

Messi, Neymar shine
in Champions League
Lionel Messi and Neymar put
on separate master classes in the
Champions League on
Wednesday, while Mohamed
Salah lacked the spark to lift
Liverpool.
Messi scored twice, helped
create two more goals with perfect
passes and saw two shots strike a
post in Barcelona’s 4-2 win over
Tottenham at Wembley Stadium.
Neymar went one better with
three goals in Paris Saint-
Germain’s 6-1 rout of
overmatched Red Star Belgrade.
“Neymar was outstanding. He
was just sensational,
magnificent,” PSG Coach Thomas
Tuchel said. “You can sense that
he’s hungry, that he wants to
make the difference and win the
ball back.”
The French champion’s other
superstar forward, Kylian
Mbappe, also scored in Paris.
Salah was the star of Liverpool’s
run to the final last season but has
had a slow start this time, and the
entire team failed to get a single
shot on target in a 1-0 loss at
Napoli. The winning goal came in
the 90th minute from Lorenzo
Insigne.
Barcelona’s impressive display
extended the team’s perfect
record at England’s national
stadium — four wins spread
across 26 years, including the
Messi-inspired 2011 Champions

Two former With no pass to 2019 World Cup, U.S. women have work to do
players sue
Howard for
negligence
BY A VA W ALLACE
Two former Howard University
men’s basketball players filed a
lawsuit against the school and
Coach Kevin Nickelberry, alleg-
ing Nickelberry misled the play-
ers about the nature of the pro-
gram and showed gross negli-
gence that led to physical, emo-
tional and financial harm.
Ex-players Ausar Madison and
Kai Tease are named as plaintiffs
in the lawsuit, which attorney
Stuart L. Peacock filed in D.C.
Superior Court on Monday.
Both former players claim
Nickelberry verbally and emo-
tionally abused them, ordered
them to practice “in a manner
that routinely and methodically
exceeds what is allowed under
NCAA regulations” and refused
to follow through on promises of
athletic scholarships.
According to the lawsuit, in the
summer of 2013, Nickelberry
“guaranteed” Madison “a perpet-
ual scholarship” set to begin in
the 2014-15 season but reneged
on his promise three times, each
time assuring Madison he would
receive a scholarship the follow-
ing year. Madison, who is still a
student at Howard, left the bas-
ketball program in January 2017
and “has never received any
funds from an athletic scholar-
ship.”
Tease, whom the lawsuit notes
requires special academic sup-
port because of a learning disabil-
ity, signed an athletic scholarship
with Howard in or around No-
vember 2015. The lawsuit states
that “Nickelberry personally en-
sured that Tease would receive all
the academic support required,
supplied and subsidized by How-
ard,” but that Tease never re-
ceived such accommodations. He
left the university in December.
Howard spokeswoman Crystal
Brown responded to the com-
plaint in an email. “As a member
of the NCAA and MEAC Confer-
ence, Howard University is com-
mitted to complying with all
NCAA and conference rules.
Howard University Athletics con-
siders the physical and mental
well-being, as well as the aca-
demic success of its student-ath-
letes its top priorities. We main-
tain a rigorous NCAA compliance
program that is consistent with
other Division I schools, we close-
ly monitor all NCAA interscholas-
tic sports programs and report
any known or discovered viola-
tions of NCAA rules. While the
University does not comment on
pending litigation, we can con-
firm that we plan to vigorously
defend the allegations in this
complaint.”
According to the lawsuit, Nick-
elberry ordered his players to
participate in an “impermissible”
practice and training schedule
that violated NCAA regulations,
including punitive practices after
losses that took place the same
day as the game. The lawsuit also
states that Nickelberry forced
both players to play while injured
despite their protestations and
warnings from the school’s ath-
letic trainers.
Both Madison and Tease suf-
fered a foot injury called a Jones
fracture, which is typically
caused by repeated motion, ac-
cording to the lawsuit. If they
refused to play, Nickelberry
would “publicly shame” the play-
ers in front of the team.
The former players claim their
injuries cost them the chance to
play professional basketball ei-
ther in the NBA or overseas.
Howard has produced only one
NBA player in program history,
according to basketball-refer-
ence.com. Larry Spriggs played in
the NBA from 1981 to 1986.
Nickelberry, 53, has been the
head coach at Howard since 2010
and previously served three sea-
sons in the same position at
Hampton University.
Madison played for the promi-
nent high school basketball team
Whitney Young in Chicago along-
side Jahlil Okafor, who plays for
the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans,
and L.J. Peak, who plays profes-
sionally in Italy. Tease, according
to the lawsuit, was the highest-
scoring player in the history of
his California high school and
“was heavily recruited by top
Division I colleges and univer-
sities.”
Tease and Madison are seeking
“an amount to be determined at
trial but believed to be in excess
of $9,000,000 in damages, plus
attorneys’ fees and costs, and
such other and further relief as
this Court deems just and prop-
er.” For breach of contract, Madi-
son is also seeking damages that
he believes to be in excess of
$230,000.

BY STEVEN GOFF
cary, n.c. — A little west of
Raleigh, on an autumn day that
feels like summer, the lunch
crowd pulls into Ole Time Bar-
becue while freight trains en
route to Greensboro and beyond
rumble past a tile supply store
and self-storage units.
Hidden from the road, in a
municipal park stocked with
athletic fields and lined by tow-
ering pines, the U.S. women’s
national soccer team is a whirl of
red and blue pinnies navigating
markers and absorbing instruc-
tion.
For two years, since a galling
defeat to Sweden at the Rio
Olympics, the sport’s most deco-
rated female program has been
building toward the next global
competition. Until now, activi-
ties have been inconsequential:
winter training camps, four-
team tournaments and friend-
lies.
But the 2019 Women’s World
Cup is fast approaching, and to
defend their crown in France,
the Americans need to qualify
for it. There are no passes for
reigning champions.
“There is definitely an el-
ement of, ‘We better not mess
this up,’ ” defender Becky Sauer-
brunn said. “There is excite-
ment, there is energy, but there
is also a little bit of, ‘All right,
guys, it’s now or never.’ ”

Redskins look to fine-tune o≠ense ahead of possible shootout
Smith thinks next steps
are making adjustments,
improving consistency
BY K AREEM C OPELAND
The Washington Redskins’ bye
week was a bit strange for Alex
Smith. He typically would delve
into evaluation during a week off,
but with just three games played
this season, there wasn’t a lot to
go through.
Still, the Redskins quarterback
has some thoughts on how the
offense can improve. Washington
has averaged 21.3 points to rank
23rd in the NFL, and Smith
thinks in-game adjustments and
consistency are the next steps in
the unit’s development.
“We’re able to do so much, so
many different personnel groups,
so many guys that have playmak-
ing ability for us,” Smith said at
his weekly media session
Wednesday. “I think deciphering
quickly what [the defense is]
going to be that week [is the next
progression].
“Heading in, you don’t know
how they’re going to play us [in]
certain personnels. Who are they
going to match up? Things like
that. The ability to decipher that
quick and to counter it.”
The consistency part, Smith
said, comes into play in specific
situations and involves being
able to score touchdowns in the
second half — something the
Redskins haven’t done yet this
season.
“When we’ve been good, we’ve
been good situationally,” Smith
said. “We’ve been good on third
downs. We’ve been good in red-
zone, short-yard situations, goal
line, those things. Situational
football wins football games
more often than not in the league.
Continue to be good in those
areas.
“And then putting together
four quarters. Consistent foot-
ball. In our two wins, we played
lights-out for a couple halves and
then had some disappointing
halves. . . . The consistency of
putting together four quarters.”
The offense will need to func-
tion at a high level Monday night
against the high-scoring New Or-
leans Saints. Players and coaches
don’t like to put it in such terms,
but recent history shows that the
Redskins might need to match
points with the Saints (3-1) in
New Orleans. They have been
held to fewer than 33 points just
once this season. Washington
(2-1) has scored 24, nine and 31
points in its three games.
“I don’t think you can ever
expect to go out there and not
score any touchdowns in the
second half and win ballgames
against anybody,” Smith said.
“Certainly [not] against good of-
fenses and good quarterbacks
like Drew [Brees]. Need to be
better moving forward. Need to
learn from it and grow from it.”
staying within three goals of
them. Panama and Trinidad and
Tobago are also on the schedule
over the next seven days. In all
likelihood, the world’s top-
ranked team will win the group
and face Costa Rica, Group B’s
probable runner-up, in the
Oct. 14 semifinals in the Dallas
suburb of Frisco.
Canada, which is ranked fifth
in the world, is the heavy favor-
ite in Group B, which is being
staged in the south Texas city of
Edinburg. Mexico and Costa
Rica probably will vie for the
third automatic berth, with the
loser facing Argentina in a two-
leg playoff next month.
The Americans are 109-4-8
all-time with a 491-58 scoring
margin against the other seven
tournament teams. They are 45-
1-1 against the Group A foes and
27-1-0 in qualifying history.
That one defeat, however,
serves as a reminder of the
potential hazards: In 2010, at
the qualifying event in Mexico,
they lost to the host country in
the semifinals and needed to
win both the third-place game
and a subsequent playoff against
Italy.
There are other cautionary
tales: Germany, the world’s sec-
ond-ranked women’s team, la-
bored to qualify this year; Neth-
erlands, the 2017 European win-
ner, must win a playoff; and the
U.S. men flopped in Concacaf
qualifying last fall.
Granted, the U.S. women have
a much smoother path than
those teams did.
“Everybody just expects it to
be an easy qualification, but we
know the difficulties in these
matches and in certain mo-
ments,” forward/midfielder
Tobin Heath said. “The stakes
None of quarterback Alex Smith’s four touchdown passes have come in the second half. “Need to be better moving forward,” he said.
On the flip side, the Redskins
still have a challenge in knowing
exactly what they will see from an
erratic Saints defense. The unit
gave up 529 yards, including 417
though the air, during a 48-40
season-opening loss to the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers. However, it held
the New York Giants to 299 yards,
including 65 on the ground, last
week.
“Certainly played their best
game, I felt like, this week,” Smith
said. “Early on, they gave up some
explosive plays down the field.
Felt like they have been trying to
iron it out as the season has gone
on. They give you a lot to look at, a
ton of different fronts up front,
play a ton of coverages, and they
have the ability to do a lot.”
The Saints’ inconsistency has
been a surprise considering they
finished the 2017 season with the
No. 10 scoring defense in the
league. The porous pass defense
showed up again when the Atlan-
ta Falcons gashed them for
407 yards, including 359 through
the air, and 37 points in Week 3.
The Saints allow 311 passing
yards per game, 30th in the
league.
“They didn’t play very well
against Tampa Bay,” Coach Jay
Gruden said. “They had their way.
[Ryan] Fitzpatrick had a heck of a
game against them, threw some
very nice passes against them,
had some big plays with DeSean
[Jackson] and Mike Evans and
their tight end O.J. [Howard].
They gave up some plays in that
game, but they settled down a
little bit.

NFL NOTES
Amended
suit says
McCoy
abused ex
A SSOCIATED P RESS
LeSean McCoy’s ex-girlfriend
said in a new court filing that the
Buffalo Bills running back physi-
cally abused her and orchestrated
a home invasion that left her beat-
en and bloodied.
Delicia Cordon on Tuesday filed
an amended lawsuit against Mc-
Coy alleging physical abuse dur-
ing their nearly two-year relation-
ship. She also accused him of ar-
ranging a July 10 attack at a home
McCoy owns in Milton, Ga., just
outside Atlanta, where Cordon
lived. The armed intruder de-
manded specific pieces of jewelry
McCoy had given Cordon and re-
peatedly asked her to return, the
lawsuit said.
The amended lawsuit seeks
more than $50 million in damag-
es.
Cordon and McCoy began dat-
ing in June 2016, but problems
began after the 2016 NFL season
when he became physically abu-
sive, the amended lawsuit says.
“He would often grab [Cordon]
in a manner that was painful and
would leave [her] skin reddened,”
it says. “McCoy did not care who
was around when he would be-
come enraged. McCoy once physi-
cally kicked [Cordon] out of the
bed.”
McCoy has repeatedly pro-
claimed his innocence and did so
again when speaking to reporters
after practice Wednesday.
“I can’t control that,” he said
when asked about Cordon’s new
allegations. “The only thing I can
do is focus on my team, try and get
better, and let things off the field
take care of themselves.”
He said he has been “proclaim-
ing innocence since Day 1.”
Cordon’s original lawsuit, filed
Aug. 10, didn’t mention physical
abuse against her. It also didn’t
directly accuse McCoy of playing a
role in the home invasion. Instead,
it accused him of breaching his
duty to protect her because he
owned the home.

FALCONS: Atlanta expects to
have running back Devonta Free-
man return for Sunday’s game at
Pittsburgh after he missed three
games with a sore right knee.
Coach Dan Quinn said Free-
man, the team’s leading rusher
each of the past three years, would
have full clearance “without any
setbacks.”
There was no report of a set-
back, but Freeman was listed as
limited on the team’s practice re-
port, just as he was late last week.

JAGUARS: Jacksonville
ruled out running back Leonard
Fournette four days before the
team’s game at Kansas City.
Coach Doug Marrone an-
nounced Wednesday that Four-
nette and cornerback D.J. Hayden
(toe) will miss the road game Sun-
day. It was a somewhat surprising
move considering NFL teams
rarely rule out players before Fri-
day.
Fournette reinjured his right
hamstring in a victory against the
New York Jets on Sunday. Consid-
ering he missed 21/2 games after
initially tweaking it and came
back too soon, the Jaguars are
expected to be more cautious this
time around.

49ERS: Quarterback Jimmy
Garoppolo underwent recon-
structive surgery on his injured
left knee.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Ga-
roppolo had the operation to re-
pair a torn anterior cruciate liga-
ment and said he didn’t know
whether any additional damage
needed to be repaired or know
whether Garoppolo would be re-
covered in time for the offseason
program next spring.
Garoppolo was injured Sept. 23
against Kansas City.

RAIDERS: Oakland placed
right tackle Donald Penn on in-
jured reserve with a groin injury.
A three-time Pro Bowl offensive
lineman, Penn was injured in the
third quarter of Sunday’s overtime
win against the Cleveland Browns.
Penn limped off the field, returned
briefly for a handful of plays, then
went to the sideline for good.
Raiders Coach Jon Gruden said
the team is hopeful of getting Penn
back later this season.

COLTS: Right tackle Denzelle
Good will be one of seven players
who will not play Thursday at New
England.
Good’s brother, Overton, was
killed in an alleged drive-by shoot-
ing in South Carolina this week.
Also out will be Pro Bowl tight
end Jack Doyle (hip) and four-
time Pro Bowl wide receiver T.Y.
Hilton (hamstring).
The other starters sitting out
are running back Marlon Mack
(hamstring) and cornerback Ken-
ny Moore II (concussion).

ons.” When it was over, Ovechkin
picked up the Stanley Cup, and he
set it down on the ice so the
Capitals could get one last photo
with it — this time with the new
championship banner behind
them.
Finally, Ovechkin kissed the
chalice goodbye and set it into its
trunk, the end to what had been
an emotional ceremony. After all
of that, the Capitals had a game to
play and a title to defend. They
looked like a team poised to do
just that in a 7-0 rout of the Boston
Bruins in the season opener.
“You don’t think you’re going to
win 82,” forward T.J. Oshie said,
“but the way we played, the way
we stuck together, the way we
battled, the way we backchecked,
did the little things, that’s what
got us the Stanley Cup last year,
and it seems like that’s still in our
game right now. I believe it.”
It was Oshie who started the
“back-to-back” chants on the Mall
after the Capitals’ parade in June,
and it was fittingly Oshie who
scored Washington’s first goal of
the 2018-19 season — on the first
shift of the game just 24 seconds
after it began. Eighty-three sec-
onds later, Evgeny Kuznetsov
scored on the power play to give
the Capitals a 2-0 lead.
“You’re sitting there on the ice
getting pumped up for about
25 minutes from videos and
chants and the crowd, and the
other team’s just sitting there do-
ing nothing in the locker room,”
Oshie said. “We were pretty excit-
ed to get this one started.”
Earlier in the day, team owner
Ted Leonsis worried that the play-
ers could get wrapped up in the
fanfare, that they could easily find
themselves down two goals after
the first period, and if that hap-
pened, he feared they could be
booed off the ice at intermission.
Fans instead gave the Capitals a
standing ovation for what had
been a clinical opening period.
“It definitely was a concern,”
Coach Todd Reirden said. “I was
really proud of our leaders to be
able to come out of a situation . . .
covering the gauntlet of emo-
tions. Guys were maybe crying,
and guys were ecstatic. Then to
have to go play against a team
that’s had a lot of success in the
league the last couple years in
Boston. So I challenged the lead-
ership group with how they were
going to respond and how they
were going to set the tone for our
team. I said, ‘Somebody’s going to
do it. Who’s it going to be in
here?’”
It was a little bit of everyone.
Less than five minutes into the
second period, Ovechkin fired his
signature one-timer from just
outside his left faceoff circle
sweet spot to extend the lead to
three goals. Less than two min-
utes later, center Nic Dowd, the
one new face in the lineup, scored
with a backhand. Seventy-five
seconds after that, Kuznetsov
Wilson suspended for fourth time since start of 2017-18 preseason
WILSON FROM D1
NHL Commissioner Gary Bett-
man, but it’s unlikely Bettman
would overturn the decision.
Wilson then could appeal to a
neutral arbitrator, and in both
cases, Wilson would remain sus-
pended during the appeal proc-
ess (unless the full term of his
suspension has run). The NHL
Players’ Association said in a
statement that it is “reviewing
the supplemental discipline de-
cision and will be discussing it
further with the player.”
The Capitals did not make
General Manager Brian MacLel-
lan available to the media.
Wilson was slated to play on
the Capitals’ top line with center
Evgeny Kuznetsov and captain
Alex Ovechkin. He’s coming off a
career season with 14 goals and
21 assists, which earned him a

and his physical play has been a
strong complement for skilled

Matthews took a feed from

Frederik Andersen stopped

“They’ve got a lot of players
that can move the puck on both
sides of their stick,” Price said.
“They’ve got a lot of skill up front,

scored his second power-play
goal.
With 4:15 left in the period, the
Capitals got their fourth man-ad-
vantage goal in four minor penal-
ties with John Carlson’s slap shot
on a five-on-three.
“It’s new season, right?” Ovech-
kin said Tuesday. “We know how
we have to play. We know what
give us result. Every game is going
to be counting; every point is very
important point. For us, we just
have to play normal game and
don’t think about too much be-
cause for us right now, as soon as
we start playing hockey and play-
ing our way, we know it’s hard to
beat us.”
Nothing about Wednesday’s
game was normal. Past opening
nights have featured a red carpet
entrance for players with elabo-
rate pregame introductions. Play-
ers don their best suits and sign
autographs as they walk into the
arena. Some sported an extra ac-
cessory this time — a champion-
ship ring they each received in a
space for them and is menacing
on the forecheck.
Washington brass has encour-
aged Wilson’s bruising style in the
past — and even St. Louis General
Manager Doug Armstrong told
reporters Wednesday that there
were 30 teams that would want
Wilson if the Capitals ever made
him available in a trade — but this
suspension is the league’s way of
sending the 24-year-old a stern
message that he has to change.
“There are certain ways they
are calling things,” MacLellan
said Tuesday. “You need to be
aware of how they’re making
their calls on suspensions. He’s a
big, strong guy who skates really
well. There is a lot of force behind
his contact. . . . It’s an issue,
obviously, but we are where we’re
at. We’re just going to have to
continually monitor how suspen-
sions and hitting are being doled
out, and we’re going to have to
adjust to it as an organization.
We’ll also state our case on what
we think is happening, too.”
Shaw scored for Montreal, and
Price made 23 saves. Max Domi,
the son of former Leafs enforcer
Tie Domi, had two assists in his
first game for the Canadiens.
Tavares moved past Matthew
Peca and roofed a shot over Price
with 1:53 left in the second peri-
od. After nine seasons with the
New York Islanders, Tavares

deal July 1 with the team he
cheered for while growing up in

private ceremony Monday night.
As both teams returned to the
locker room after warmups, the
Capital One Arena public address
announcer boomed that the eve-
ning’s matchup would feature the
Boston Bruins against the “de-
fending Stanley Cup champion
Washington Capitals.” An arena
that was already mostly full near-
ly an hour before puck drop re-
sponded with the sound of cow-
bells ringing.
But to a degree, it felt as if the
Capitals never stopped playing.
The summer was short after such
a long playoff run, and when the
players returned to Washington
for a new training camp, all but
two who had dressed in the Stan-
ley Cup finals were back. The
team had a new coach in Reirden
— Wednesday’s blowout over Bos-
ton marked his first NHL victory
— but he had been an assistant
coach with the Capitals for four
years.
There was one black cloud over
otherwise celebratory proceed-
The suspension for the first
quarter of the season is a blow to
Washington because he contin-
ues to take up a roster spot and
the already salary cap-strapped
team must carry Wilson’s
$5.17 million cap hit in the inter-
im. The Capitals already were
forced to designate defenseman
Michal Kempny to injured re-
serve and forward Travis Boyd to
long-term injured reserve to clear
salary cap and roster room for
spare players. If injuries pile up,
Washington could be in a bind.
The Capitals claimed 25-year-
old forward Dmitrij Jaskin off
waivers Tuesday because MacLel-
lan believed the team’s forward
depth was “vulnerable.” In
Wednesday’s season opener,
winger Brett Connolly took Wil-
son’s place beside Ovechkin and
Kuznetsov. Jaskin, who scored six
goals with 11 assists in St. Louis
last season, could make his debut
Thursday night in Pittsburgh.

significantly impacted the length

ings. Just before 4 p.m., the NHL’s
Department of Player Safety an-
nounced a 20-game suspension
for forward Tom Wilson for what
it deemed an illegal check to the
head of St. Louis’s Oskar Sun-
dqvist in the teams’ preseason
finale. Wilson skated onto the ice
in his Capitals jersey like the rest
of his teammates, and his ovation
was among the loudest.
But by the time the game was
over, the harsh discipline was
temporarily forgotten. The Capi-
tals had something new to cel-
of the suspension. The 20-game
ban is the most severe discipline
the Department of Player Safety
has handed down since San Jose
Sharks forward Raffi Torres was
suspended 41 games in 2015. It is
one game fewer than the suspen-
sion doled out to former Capitals
player Dale Hunter after he in-
jured the New York Islanders’
Pierre Turgeon with a blind-side
check after Turgeon scored a goal
in the teams’ 1993 playoff series.
The Department of Player
Safety considered Wilson’s hit on
Sundqvist “a high, forceful hit,
which makes Sundqvist’s head
the main point of contact on a hit
where such head contact was
avoidable and causes an injury.”
Sundqvist was eligible to be
checked and could expect a hard
check while cutting to the middle
of the ice, but “Wilson takes a
poor angle of approach that picks
Sundqvist’s head and makes it the
main point of contact,” the de-
partment’s video said.

Stanley Cup says its final goodbye — for now
The iconic trophy made a memorable trek around the city one more time before the players got their last moment with it at Capital One Arena
BY A DAM K ILGORE
The players in red Washington
Capitals sweaters stared at the
ceiling of Capital One Arena, at the
empty space that would soon be
forever filled. The red banner,
reading “Stanley Cup Champions”
in bold, white print, started its
journey from ice to rafters. Alex
Ovechkin glided a few feet for-
ward and waved his teammates to
join him. They huddled around
the Stanley Cup, which rested on
the ice, as the banner behind them
hovered, a blissful summer ceding
to what comes next.
Washington and the Capitals
celebrated the franchise’s first
championship — and the city’s
first in a major professional sport
since 1992 — one last time
Wednesday night. The banner-
raising ceremony began with red
glowsticks flickering in a dark are-
na. It included three video trib-
utes, full of highlights of the play-
off run and the wild, boozy cele-
brations that followed across the
region. The National Symphony
Orchestra’s brass section played
“We Are the Champions,” the song
players had turned into their echo-
ing anthem. The festivities ended
at 7:45 p.m., when Ovechkin
kissed the Cup one final time and
set it down in a black trunk, bid-
ding it farewell.
“Hopefully, for a little bit,”
Ovechkin said. “[Until] summer.”
The Capitals morphed from
champions to defending champi-
ons Wednesday. A banner rose and
a joyous summer reached an end.
As the first air of autumn arrived,
Washington said goodbye to the
Stanley Cup.
Twenty-four seconds into the
season-opening game against the
Boston Bruins, forward T.J. Oshie
reignited a raucous crowd by
blasting a slap shot past goalie
Tuukka Rask. Evgeny Kuznetsov
scored again 83 seconds later. The
velocity of the season’s start un-
derscored that it was time to move
on. There was no choice.
Over the past four months, the
Capitals had taken the Cup on a
global joyride. They had brought it
to the Canadian prairie and the
Bavarian mountains, to Red
Square and the American desert,
and to Siberia and Denmark for
the first time in the trophy’s his-
tory. It came back to Washington,
the place it no longer calls home.
“Melancholy and sobering,”
Capitals Owner Ted Leonsis said
Wednesday morning. “For so
many years, you’ve always said,
‘Well, there’s always next year.’
Well, it’s now next year, and it’ll be
different for the guys. This doesn’t
feel like opening night in past
years.”
By Wednesday afternoon, the
Cup had changed from the mo-
ment they first lifted it in Las
Vegas. After the parade in June,
the Cup fell at a party inside Capi-
tal One Arena and suffered a dent
in the base. When some Capitals
staffers saw the Cup on Wednes-
day, they noticed it had been bent
back into shape.
“Right now, it’s in phenomenal
condition,” said Mario Della-Sa-
via, one of the men charged with
minding the Cup. “The Stanley
Cup has been around since 1893. I
hope I look that good.”
It also had a more profound
aesthetic change. Louise St.
BARRY SVRLUGA
The Capitals’ summer of celebration is over, but the title is Washington’s forever
SVRLUGA FROM D1
But that would have prevented
him from assisting on the next
goal just 83 seconds later and
then helping out on Ovechkin’s
first goal of the new season —
you guessed it — on the power
play, from the left circle, right on
cue.
How’s that for a vibe? The
Caps followed the raising of the
banner — man, it’s huge and
handsome — and the final
glimpse of the Cup with a result
that left only one conclusion:
They will go 82-0-0 and cruise
through the playoffs, and these
feelings, previously unattainable,
will be a permanent part of life
around here.
Yet this evening wasn’t about
the 60 minutes of hockey against
the Boston Bruins. Because these
things must be recorded and
because the game counts in the
standings, it’s worth noting the
Capitals won, 7-0, and looked
insanely good doing it against a
team that is supposed to contend
in the East. But they could have
lost 14-0, and the throngs in red
would have gotten what they
paid for. And more.
. THE WASHINGTON POST
The Stanley Cup made an appearance at Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street as part of a whirlwind tour around D.C. before the Capitals’ opener.
Jacques, a Montreal silversmith,
struck the names of 52 players,
coaches, executives and support
staff on a new band.
“It’s a very humbling thing,” Le-
onsis said. “It really is. You just
look at the other names on it. I’ve
been a fan of the NHL for 55 years,
and I grew up [outside] Boston, in
Lowell. My first vivid Stanley Cup
memory is Bobby Orr scoring ‘The
Goal.’ You read the Boston Globe,
you watch the parade on TV, you
watch the highlights over the
years — the tape plays in your
head. This year you start watching
it, and the tape starts running, and
you go, ‘That’s us!’ That’s not
somebody else. I was there. It’s
unbelievable.”
Going on a final tour
On its final day in the official
possession of the Capitals, the
Stanley Cup began with Leonsis
visiting children in the Make-A-
Wish Foundation. It returned to
its Hockey Hall of Fame keepers at
a Renaissance Inn in Arlington,
where Della-Savia and partner
Phil Pritchard loaded the encased
Cup into a black Suburban.
The Capitals wanted to surprise
residents at various locations, an
attempt to both share the Cup
once more and generate social-
media buzz. They began with
Georgetown University. Someone
had let the visit slip because a
crowd of 60 greeted the caravan.
Pritchard placed the Cup at the
feet of the John Carroll statue, in
front of Healy Hall. Jack the bull-
dog squatted next to it, and he may
have left a stray stream of slobber
on the Cup. Men’s basketball
Coach Patrick Ewing, the Hoyas’
greatest player, posed next to Del-
la-Savia holding a No. 33 Capitals
jersey.
One kid kissed the Cup and
walked away with his mouth stuck
in the shape of an O. “Holy crap!”
he said.
“I think everything is better
than you expect it to be,” veteran
center Nicklas Backstrom said.
“Everything was so cool.”
When they filed out late
Wednesday night, it wasn’t the
goal from Oshie or the next one
from Evgeny Kuznetsov or the
five that followed that mattered
on the Metro or in the car. It
wasn’t even Tom Wilson’s 20-
game suspension announced
Wednesday, which could have
shaped a depressing story line
for the season’s first two
months, the first two months
this franchise has ever defended
the Cup.
Nah, there was no penalty or
personnel move about which to
gripe. I mean, it’s as if old
demons are now served up to be
slew. The Caps drove Bruins
goalie Tuukka Rask from the
game in the second period. His
replacement: Jaroslav Halak.
Remember when Halak was the
embodiment of springtime pain
around here? No? Psst. He was
Montreal’s goalie when the
eighth-seeded Canadiens came
back from a 3-1 series deficit
against the Presidents’ Trophy-
winning Caps in 2010. Now these
hockey
The tour headed to a meeting of
Georgetown’s board. Outside a
conference room, Pritchard
plopped the Cup on a table in front
of Janet Pfister, an executive assis-
tant to President Jack DeGioia.
“This isn’t the real thing, is it?”
Pfister asked.
Pritchard assured her it was.
“May I touch it?” she asked.
“This is the real thing!”
Pritchard insisted she should. A
Georgetown official told Pfister
she needed to stop because they
had to keep to DeGioia’s schedule.
“Janet,” Pritchard told her,
“they can wait.”
Pfister touched the Cup. She
beamed.
“This is so exciting,” Pfister said
a minute later. “I used to be the
biggest Peter Bondra fan in the
world.”
The Cup rode through campus
on the back of a golf cart. Stunned
students snapped photos, their
mouths agape.
“Can we touch it?”
“Oh, my God!”
“It’s the Cup!”
From Georgetown, it headed to
the Lincoln Memorial. A jogger
stopped to touch the Cup and
yelled, “Brand new Caps fan!” As
Pritchard and Della-Savia carried
the Cup toward the steps, Chayla
Summers-Daniels stopped with
her stroller, which carried her 19-
month-old son, Christian.
“That just shows me I’m on the
right path,” Summers-Daniels
said. “I’m a military spouse. It gets
hard out here. We don’t get any
trophies. So it’s nice to it come to
this area. And I just happened to
be here. To walk into that with my
baby, that’s rewarding.
“That color — that platinum,
that silver — it pings off the sky, off
the sun,” she added. “Honestly
speaking, it’s a cup. You think of
people always looking at life either
half-empty or half-full. If you can
be that person that can be about
characters are paraded about so
the Washington crowd can say,
collectively: We’re over it!
Really, though, Wednesday’s
specifics were all gravy. Really
thick, tasty gravy with all the
little bits scraped off the bottom
of the pan, sure. But what
mattered Wednesday wasn’t the
result or the details within. What
mattered Wednesday were the
images. What mattered were the
feelings.
“When you’re a part of
something like that, how can you
not get excited to get it going
again,” Oshie said, “and try and
do it again?”
If you can’t quite remember
what pulsed through you that
night of June 7 — whether you
were on the streets around
Capital One Arena or on your
couch or in a bar or (gulp) all the
way in Las Vegas, following the
Caps and the Cup from club to
club — well, the Caps did their
best to rekindle it. Long before
they won this thing, the Capitals,
as an organization, excelled in
man-it’s-dusty-in-here videos.
That was before they were
champions.
So, predictably, they outdid

greatness, you can have that full
cup. I think that’s what that repre-
sents.”
Tourists and Caps fans scurried
around the Cup, cellphones held
aloft. A third-grade class from
Wheatley Education Center gath-
ered for a photo around Slapshot,
the Capitals’ eagle mascot. One
man pulled out of a phone and
blurted, “I’m 10 feet away from the
Cup!” Despite growing traffic
around the trophy and a time
crunch, people remained patient,
everyone grinning.
“There’s never a frown,” Della-
Savia said. “Everybody’s happy,
and it doesn’t matter if they know
what it is or not.”
“It’s the aura of a three-foot high
silver object that is inanimate but
has a life of its own,” Pritchard
said.
“If you have a room of 10 people
that are smiling, all of a sudden,
you are smiling,” Della-Savia said.
“They’re looking at this object,
and it’s like, ‘Wow: This must
mean something.’ ”
The caravan drove to Shaw and
parked outside Ben’s Chili Bowl.
As people ate chili burgers and
half-smokes, the Stanley Cup sat
on the counter.
“I’m so uplifted just having it
here,” owner Virginia Ali said.
“We’re so proud of our Capitals.
They’re excited and happy and
grateful to see it and touch it, to
share in the happiness of a win-
ning team.
“I don’t think they’re going to
put chili in that beautiful cup,” Ali
said.
LaTonya Ramsey, a 48-year-old
lifelong D.C. resident who works
the grill at Ben’s, saw the Cup come
through the door and felt valida-
tion. She had followed D.C. sports
— “sorry for so long,” she said — for
decades, and she felt the title shift
the city’s entire view of itself.
“It felt good to touch that cup,”
Ramsey said. “I wish I could drink
themselves Wednesday, the first
time these guys skated in front
of their home fans for a
meaningful game since the Cup
was theirs. When the video
tribute started on the scoreboard
that hangs above center ice, the
Caps — on ice for the pregame
ceremony — skated back from
the blue line, craning their necks
to look up. Mumford and Sons
played in the background, easing
in and out of calls from Caps
play-by-play men Joe Beninati
and John Walton: “These days of
dust/Which we’ve known/Will
blow away with this new sun.”
And there were all the
moments you wanted, those you
couldn’t quite remember and
those you will never forget —
Lars Eller in double overtime
against Columbus, Kuzy
finishing off the Penguins,
becoming Eastern Conference
champs in Tampa when that felt
like some sort of pinnacle, and
then everything against the
Vegas Golden Knights, Braden
Holtby’s save and, finally,
Ovechkin letting out a roar,
raising the Cup above his head to
show his team, to show his town,
to show the world.
CALLA KESSLER/THE WASHINGTON POST
some beer out of it!”
Dwayne and Marti Mills moved
to Florida from Tysons in the mid-
1980s, but they traveled to Wash-
ington for the Capitals’ home
opener and happened to choose
Ben’s as their lunch spot. Ali no-
ticed them wearing Capitals
sweaters and wondered whether
they knew the Cup was coming.
When she realized they didn’t, she
told them, “You’re wearing the
right outfit. Make sure you don’t
leave.” After polishing off half-
smokes, they sat tight until the
Cup arrived.
“It brings tears to my eyes,”
Dwayne said. “I’m going to bawl
tonight.”
Next came the Washington
Monument. Artur Galota, a Polish
tourist, asked to stop and take a
picture. Even though the NHL is
not popular in Poland, something
drew him to the trophy. “I didn’t
know that was the real one,” Galo-
ta said. “I thought it was fake.”
As the carts wheeled away from
the Monument, a Circulator driver
hopped out of his bus and snapped
a photo. Another pair of onlookers
rushed toward the cart and asked
whether they could touch it. “Yup,”
Della-Savia said. “If you don’t get
run over.”
Kyle Matous, a 33-year-old Tex-
an who moved to D.C. a decade
ago, skipped out of work down-
town, rented a scooter and fol-
lowed the Cup around the Mall. He
got a photo of himself standing
next to the Cup with the Capitol
dome in the distance.
“It’s the best trophy in all of
sports,” Matous said. “Now I asso-
ciate it as the trophy that’s been
around the world and subject to
keg stands.”
Driving on golf carts from the
Mall toward Chinatown, the crew
stopped outside the Canadian Em-
bassy for Toronto natives Della-
Savia and Pritchard. Chaperones
from a group field trip to the
What will stand out about
Wednesday night to me, though,
is one image. Ovechkin, the
captain, had skated with the Cup
around the rink as his
teammates stood in line and
tapped their sticks on the ice. A
final video played to Queen’s “We
Are the Champions,” and it
sounded as if Freddie Mercury
himself were leading the way at
Wembley Stadium because each
member of the sellout crowd
belted out the chorus at the top
of his or her lungs. Ted Leonsis,
the team’s majority owner — the
one owner in this town who will
get cheered at a public
appearance — had just stepped
to the mic and said, “Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you from the
bottom of our collective hearts.
Thank you!”
The banner followed. Simple
and elegant, it reads, “Stanley
Cup Champions 2018,” because
there’s really nothing else that
needs to be said. As it was pulled
to the rafters, the Capitals
gathered in front of it, with the
Cup in their midst, for one final
picture.
“It might have felt long to
some people,” Oshie said. “But I

Newseum scampered over to take
pictures. “Man,” one of them said,
after overcoming his reluctance to
touch the trophy. “That’s cool.”
The final stop was the Portrait
Gallery, across the street from
Capital One Arena. Pritchard
placed the Cup on the steps and
watched a crowd form. Five Met-
ropolitan police officers crouched
around it for a photo.
“Wait, is that the real Cup?” a
man in a suit walking past asked.
“That’s crazy. That’s the Stanley
Cup.”
A line formed and snaked down
the block, just past F Street, for
people to take pictures. People
loaned Capitals gear to those who
didn’t have on any and wanted to
wear it for a photo. At 2:45 p.m. the
Cup had its own schedule to keep.
“All right, guys,” Pritchard said.
“See you at the game.”
A skate and a send-off
Pritchard lifted the Cup and
walked it down five steps and
packed it into a black trunk. Red-
clad fans snapped selfies as the
tour ended. Pritchard wheeled it
across Seventh, through an arena
entrance and into an elevator,
which would carry the Cup to the
old Washington Wizards execu-
tive offices, the temporary home of
the Capitals while renovations fin-
ish.
Wizards executives and minori-
ty owners took photos of the Cup.
It made an appearance on a red
carpet outside the arena. And then
it made its way to the ice.
The rest of the Capitals had
glided across the ice one by one
and lined up, leaving one last play-
er and his accompanying hard-
ware. The spotlight fixed at the
corner of the Capital One Arena
rink. The public address announc-
er bellowed the name the crowd
had been waiting for: “Conn
Smythe winner Alex Ovechkin!”
Until moments before, it had
been kept secret — even from
Ovechkin himself — that Ovech-
kin would skate a lap holding the
Cup. Now Ovechkin skated
toward the center of the ice. Over
the summer, the Caps had learned
a rule about the Cup: only those
whose names would appear on it
are allowed to hoist it above their
head. That’s just what Ovechkin
did as he circled the rink, letting
light glimmer off the polished sil-
ver.
“Tonight,” Leonsis would tell
the crowd, “we get to recognize the
world’s greatest hockey team!”
“It gave me chills,” forward
Nicklas Backstrom said. “I started
hearing the crowd sing that song
again, it was amazing. I want to
experience that again.”
The ceremony offered closure
and a final reminder of last spring,
the idyllic days when red-clad of-
fice workers and federal employ-
ees and students and parents and
sons and daughters filled an arena
to watch on television and
jammed streets in delirious cel-
ebration.
“The whole community, they
won as a city,” Pritchard said. “It’s
much bigger than the six guys on
the ice at one time. They are so
proud. To me, Washington seems
to be a hockey town.”

could have watched that thing go
up for days.”
And then they skated to the
side, and there was the Cup, on
the ice alone. With the banner
rising slowly, I’ll admit it: Just
looking at that chalice brought
chills. A spotlight made it shine.
Who among us doubts now —
doubts even a little bit — that it’s
the best trophy in sports?
Somehow, all by its lonesome on
the ice at the start of a new
season, it made you think about
everything that went into getting
it there, finally getting it there
and what fun the ride seems like
now.
There’s another season at
hand, and who knows what it
might bring? Does it even
matter? The Stanley Cup was
here, on the ice in Washington.
The banner is in the rafters,
forever and ever. There’s still
time, though. Pick your moment,
and freeze it. Wednesday night
reminded everyone there’s still
fun to be had in arguing over
which one was the best.

Randle’s
latest shot
comes with
Wizards
Journeyman aims to stick
after failing to catch on
at previous NBA stops
BY C ANDACE B UCKNER
Chasson Randle could serve as
the answer to deep-in-the-woods
basketball trivia. When the Phila-
delphia 76ers dumped former lot-
tery pick Nerlens Noel and again
when the Carmelo Anthony era
ended in New York, Randle was
the fine print beneath the trade
headlines. He was the guy waived
so the 76ers and Knicks could
make room on the roster to pull off
those franchise-altering deals, the
player hanging on to the fringes of
the NBA.
Randle has been teasingly close
to breaking into the league full
time. But when the business of the
game slammed doors on his op-
portunities, Randle regrouped
and found success elsewhere —
sometimes in places as unglamor-
ous as the G League or as remote as
the Czech Republic. Now at Wash-
ington Wizards training camp, the
6-foot-2 scoring point guard is
searching for the 15th spot on a
crowded roster. His past experi-
ences haven’t shaken his faith.
They have emboldened him.
“I feel like I belong,” said Ran-
dle, an Exhibit 10 player with the G
League Capital City Go-Go who
would be assigned to the minor
league team if he doesn’t make the
Wizards’ roster.
“That’s just the business,” Ran-
dle said about being waived multi-
ple times since he entered the NBA
in 2016. “You kind of take it as it
comes, but that allowed me to see
you definitely can’t take any day
for granted.”
If NBA teams truly chose play-
ers based on character, then the
25-year-old Randle would already
be locked into a multiyear deal. He
has heard from NBA decision-
makers that he has their vote if he
decides to run for president. Ran-
dle is so beloved in his hometown
of Rock Island, Ill., that the local
Pee Wee’s Restaurant has a burger
named after him.
“Aw, man! It’s amazing,” Randle
said, giving a biased review of the
sandwich he helped craft. “It’s got
some spice to it.”
The compliments from man-
agement types and his hometown
soul food restaurant notwith-
standing, Randle has proved to be
a winning player.
He spent four years at Stanford
— recruited to the West Coast by
Coach Johnny Dawkins, a D.C. na-
tive and former NBA player — and
finished as the program’s all-time
leading scorer with 2,375 points.
As a senior, Randle led Stanford to
the NIT championship. Though
Randle went undrafted in 2015
and couldn’t catch on with the
Golden State Warriors after play-
ing with their summer league
team, he signed with a team based
in the Czech Republic and won the
league title there.
By the next season, Randle had
another NBA shot in New York,
but he caught an elbow while driv-
ing to the rim during training
camp and suffered a fractured left
orbital bone.
“So that was a downer,” Randle
said.
That bad break led to the next:
He was waived. Last summer,
Randle was back with the Knicks
but faced a similar fate after the
blockbuster trade that sent Antho-
ny to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Knicks needed to absorb two
players, and they waived Randle
to create space. He returned over-
seas and again became a cham-
pion with the Real Madrid team
that featured 2018 lottery pick
Luka Doncic.
The experience gained through
a winding career has helped Ran-
dle stand out on the Wizards’ prac-
tice floor.
“Plays hard. He competes. He’s
a very cerebral player,” Coach
Scott Brooks said. “I just like how
he approaches.”
In late August, Randle wasn’t
able to go back home as originally
planned and launch the “Chasson
burger,” complete with jalapeños
and barbecue sauce. Following
games with the USA World Cup
qualifying team, he reported to
Washington. Randle understands
his latest job audition could turn
out like the others, but he carries
the same approach that has al-
lowed him to keep bouncing back.
“They do have a lot of depth,
especially at the guard position,”
Randle said. “For me, it’s just like,
come in, play hard, be a great
teammate, show what I can do and
then make plays for myself and
others.”

DISSECTING THE NATIONALS’ LOST SEASON: PART III
Rizzo, architect of Nats, had flaws in blueprint
BY C HELSEA J ANES
Over the course of five days, we
are examining the issues and
characters that contributed to this
disappointing Washington Na-
tionals season — and how the team
can avoid similar disappoint-
ment next season.
Mike Rizzo sipped green tea out
of a foam cup as he addressed
reporters on the last day of the
Washington Nationals’ 2018 sea-
son. He always had been more of a
coffee guy, but he took up green tea
late in the season at the recom-
mendation of the team’s nutrition-
ist. Normal baseball seasons, let
alone those as chaotic as this one,
test the health of all who experi-
ence them. By the end of them,
nobody is the same.
Rizzo, the Nationals’ general
manager, is no exception. His year
began with a two-year contract
extension, one many baseball ana-
lysts thought should be longer or
for more money, that secured Riz-
zo’s future through 2020. It ended
with 82 wins, no postseason ap-
pearance and questions about his
rookie manager’s job security.
“I’m the architect of this team. I
create the roster that Davey [Mar-
tinez] has to put into play,” Rizzo
said. “So, yeah, there’s a lot of
things we could’ve done different,
should’ve done different,
should’ve foreseen. But those are
things that I’m responsible for.
Win, lose or draw, it’s my team.”
Rizzo didn’t elaborate on exact-
ly what he could have done differ-
ently. He has never been one to
dwell on failures or even really to
admit them; he rarely second-
guesses moves in hindsight or
claims mea culpa. But he has nev-
er dodged responsibility, either.
And he, like so many others in the
organization, must shoulder some
for the way this season slid into
disappointment.
Pitching staff struggles
Concerns about the coaching
staff, as outlined in Part II of this
series, are largely the responsibili-
ty of ownership. If Rizzo had his
way, Dusty Baker still would be the
Nationals’ manager. Then again, if
Rizzo really had his way, Bud
Black probably would be manag-
ing them. The GM’s employers
ended up making those decisions.
But Rizzo is the architect, and
he can be held accountable for
flaws in his blueprint. And two
parts of his team were not struc-
turally sound.
The first was his rotation, the
backbone of his Nationals, which
had its worst ERA since before the
2012 season. Rizzo always says
that with good starting pitching,
anything is possible, and without
it, nothing is possible. This season,
he didn’t get it.
When Rizzo was asked about
the rotation this past winter, he
Orioles fire Showalter and Duquette after franchise-record flop
BY DAVE SHEININ
Oct. 4, 2016, stands as a stark
and obvious dividing line for the
two halves of what will be known
in Baltimore as the Buck Showal-
ter era. On that day, at Toronto’s
Rogers Centre, the Orioles’ third
playoff appearance in five seasons
came to a sudden, premature end
in a 5-2, 11-inning loss to the To-
ronto Blue Jays in the American
League wild-card game — a con-
test remembered not for a move
Showalter made but one he didn’t:
Zach Britton, the closer having the
best season of any reliever in
years, never appeared in the game.
Nothing much went right for
the Orioles in the months and
years that followed, bottoming out
with this year’s 47-115 disaster, the
worst season in franchise history.
On Wednesday, Showalter’s
eight-plus-year tenure with the
Orioles came to an end when the
team informed him it would not
be bringing him back as its man-
ager in 2019 — part of an organiza-
tional housecleaning that also re-

AND STAFF REPORTS
Bob Miller, Mike Rizzo’s long-
time right-hand man, will not be
back in the general manager’s box
with him next season. The Wash-
ington Nationals did not renew
his deal, which means his three-
year tenure with the team will
come to an end, according to a
person familiar with the situation.

backs on the same day in 1998.

repeated that he thought the Na-
tionals had plenty of depth with
which to prosper. In Max Scherzer,
Stephen Strasburg, Tanner Roark
and Gio Gonzalez, he had as good a
top four as any team in baseball. In
Erick Fedde, Jeremy Hellickson,
A.J. Cole and others, he believed
he had plenty of depth should one
of them falter.
But in betting on the enigmatic
Gonzalez and on Roark to bounce
back after a down year and on
Strasburg to stay healthy, Rizzo
erred. The Nationals could have
added Jake Arrieta to their rota-
tion or even paid less for stability
in short deals with Alex Cobb or
Lance Lynn, but they did not pur-
sue them. Neither he nor anyone
else around the team has suggest-
ed that the front office wanted to
pursue another starter and was
shut down for financial reasons.
The Nationals began the season
with the fourth-highest payroll in
baseball. They ended it with the
fifth highest, $181 million, a num-
ber that — when cast through Ma-
jor League Baseball’s confusing
competitive balance tax calculator
— places them over this year’s
threshold.
The bullpen design also was im-
perfect. The Nationals entered this
season with the strongest, most
complete bullpen they have had to
start a season. But they also en-
tered the season with a largely
veteran group of injury-prone re-
lievers who required frequent days
off, couldn’t pitch on back-to-back
days and couldn’t be optioned to
the minors to clear roster spots for
fresher or more effective arms.
Rizzo did target his bullpen ear-
ly in the season. He attempted to
alleviate the pressure on veteran
portedly claimed general manag-
er Dan Duquette, the architect of
the rosters that Showalter guided
to playoff appearances in 2012,
2014 and 2016. Duquette, 60,
joined the Orioles in November
2011 — nine years after his last GM
gig, with the Boston Red Sox.
“The club will hire an executive
from outside the organization to
lead the Baseball Operation de-
partment,” the Orioles said in a
press release. “Once in place, this
individual will have the final de-
termination on all baseball mat-
ters that he or she believes will
make the Orioles successful on the
field, entertaining to fans, and im-
pactful in the community.”
The news of both firings was
first reported by the Athletic.
While the parting with Showalter
was not a surprise — days earlier,
he had seemingly resigned him-
self to it, pronouncing himself “at
peace” with whatever happened
to him — there was some expecta-
tion the team would offer him
another position in the organiza-
tion, a move that apparently will
the 2001 World Series title. They
parted ways when CEO Jeff Moo-
rad cleaned house a few years
later. Miller headed to Cincinnati.
Rizzo took a job with the Nation-
als but always hoped he could
reunite with Miller. When a spot
opened in 2014, he brought in
Miller.
A month later, Miller pointed
out the loophole in Major League
Baseball rules that allowed the
Nationals to acquire Trea Turner
just six months after the San Di-
ego Padres had drafted him as a
player to be named. That loophole
relievers by acquiring Kelvin Her-
rera more than a month before the
non-waiver trade deadline. But
the more polarizing part of Rizzo’s
handling of the bullpen came lat-
er, when he jettisoned Brandon
Kintzler on July 31 and Shawn
Kelley on Aug. 5 in moves per-
ceived as part of a clubhouse
cleanse.
“If you’re not in, you’re in the
way,” Rizzo said then. Kintzler
struggled after the trade and did
not make the Chicago Cubs’ Na-
tional League wild-card game ros-
ter. Kelley pitched well and was
with the Oakland Athletics for
their American League wild-card
game against the New York Yan-
kees on Wednesday night.
With months of hindsight to
inform them, neither deal is as
surprising as it seemed at the time.
Rizzo thought Kintzler was re-
sponsible for negative rumors
about the state of his clubhouse
but wasn’t sold on his perform-
ance and also believed he had
plenty of back-end depth in Herre-
ra and Ryan Madson. Kintzler’s
7.00 ERA in 25 games with the
Cubs makes the deal hard to argue
in retrospect.
As he has said since, Rizzo
would have traded Kelley at any
point, in any season, after he
threw the tantrum he did in Wash-
ington’s Aug. 1 blowout win —
firing his glove to the ground and
glaring into the dugout at his rook-
ie manager. He showed up Marti-
nez, so he had to go.
A surprise sell-off
Rizzo is a man with no history of
surrender, so no one was particu-
larly surprised when the Nation-
als essentially held pat at the
not happen.
There also had been specula-
tion within the industry that Du-
quette might survive as GM, and
the Orioles had allowed him to
preside over a large-scale sell-off
of star players at the July 31 trade
deadline, a wave of departures
that included Britton, Manny
Machado, Jonathan Schoop and
Kevin Gausman.
Showalter, 62, was known as a
shrewd strategist with an impec-
cable attention to detail when the
Orioles hired him in July 2010. He
also had a track record of turning
losing franchises into winners —
something he succeeded in doing
again in Baltimore. The Orioles
made a small leap in 2011, Showal-
ter’s first full season in the dugout,
then a huge one in 2012, winning
93 games and advancing to
Game 5 of the AL Division Series
before losing to the New York Yan-
kees.
That launched a sustained era
of success unseen at Camden
Yards since the mid- to late 1990s,
with the Orioles winning their
has since been closed, and drafted
players can be traded the day after
the World Series ends.
With a giant cellphone always
in hand, Miller was a staple of the
clubhouse, in and out of the man-
ager’s office with Rizzo, always on
the road with the team.

July 31 trade deadline. He and his
front office had explored all their
options — including a Bryce Harp-
er deal — and presented them to
ownership. Rizzo wanted to give
his roster another month. Owner-
ship agreed.
But when the Nationals sud-
denly traded Matt Adams and
Daniel Murphy on Aug. 21, the
moves surprised players, frustrat-
ed fans and puzzled executives
around the majors. Why, with
10 days before the Aug. 31 dead-
line, would the Nationals make
those moves? And if, as Rizzo in-
sisted later, those deals were not
made merely to slide under the
salary cap and the money involved
calculated to the hour, why not
wait 10 more days? The return was
not going to suffer dramatically in
that time. The Nationals did not
get much in return.
Neither Rizzo nor ownership
has offered much explanation for
the timing of those deals. They
were decidedly out of character
for the Nationals’ GM, who is not
one to sell or to do things halfway.
But if ownership mandated the
sell-off, Rizzo only could advise it
and execute its wishes. He has had
to bite that bullet before. Whatev-
er happened, the division rival
Philadelphia Phillies faded fast,
starting at about the time those
deals were made, and the Atlanta
Braves, who went on to win the
National League East, struggled
some, too. The Nationals had
shown no signs of life to that point,
but then again . . .
Rizzo always thought this roster
was built to be much better. Indeed,
it always seemed to be, and Rizzo
must receive credit for the posi-
tives, too. The Hellickson signing,
first division title in 17 years in
2014, this time bowing out in the
AL Championship Series, and
earning a wild card in 2016. The
fateful decision to hold Britton
back for a potential save in extra
innings of that 2016 wild-card
game — a save opportunity that, of
course, never came — hung over
Showalter and the franchise ever
since.
Showalter, the 2014 manager of
the year, was close to Orioles own-
er Peter Angelos — for whom he
lasted longer than any other man-
ager in the latter’s tenure as own-
er. But as Angelos’s health deterio-
rated in recent months and the
day-to-day operations of the team
shifted to sons Louis and John,
Showalter’s lame-duck contract
status, as well as the Orioles’ hor-
rendous 2018 season, made him
an obvious target for an organiza-
tion in need of radical change.
The team’s massive sell-off this
summer, with higher-priced vet-
erans dealt for younger players
and prospects, indicated the start
of what could be a lengthy and
announced the ban and said MLB
had completed its investigation
into the accusations made by Me-
lisa Reidy. Russell had denied the
allegations, which Reidy detailed
in a blog post in September.
Russell’s unpaid suspension in-
cludes the 11 regular season games
he missed after being placed on
administrative leave Sept. 21. Rus-
sell will be eligible to return May 3
against St. Louis, barring any
postponements, and he will not
appeal the suspension. He also
will participate in an evaluation
and treatment program.

seemingly a throwaway deal made
midway through spring training,
was a success. He acquired Herrera
without touching any of his elite
prospects, another coup. He had
the guts to call up 19-year-old Juan
Soto when many baseball followers
wondered whether he was rushing
the kid out of necessity. Soto is a
bona fide rookie of the year candi-
date. Rizzo has now called up two
19-year-olds in his career, and the
other one was Harper.
How to handle Harper
Harper is the most complicated
part of Rizzo’s management this
season. Rizzo, like the rest of the
organization, stood by Harper
through thick and thin. Rizzo de-
fended him through his first-half
struggles. He praised him for his
second-half renaissance. If the
plan was to make sure Harper and
the Nationals headed to his free
agency winter on good terms, Riz-
zo made sure that happened. He
got Harper’s arbitration deal done
a year early. He never wavered in
adamant and outspoken support
of his star whenever criticism es-
calated.
But in that support and the
relentless support afforded Harp-
er by the rest of the organization,
Rizzo and others set up an uncom-
fortable double standard. When
Harper didn’t run out groundballs
or run hard after flyballs, Marti-
nez could not do much but down-
play the incidents. When Trea Tur-
ner didn’t run out a groundball, he
was benched. Those decisions are
Martinez’s, of course.
But he does not make them in a
vacuum. This organization’s more
forgiving approach to its home-
grown superstar is well estab-
lished, long standing — and not
lost on others in the clubhouse.
Then again, it is not unprecedent-
ed around baseball, either. Harper
played in 159 games — more than
all but one other National, Turner,
who played in all 162 — all while
under massive scrutiny. Who can
blame the Nationals for occasion-
ally circling around one of their
own? Many teams do.
Rizzo didn’t say exactly what he
thinks he needs to do differently.
He also didn’t talk about the
moves he wanted to make but
couldn’t because of ownership’s
hesitations. His job is not to point
fingers like that. He is the archi-
tect of this team, the man who
must own its failures more than
anyone else.
Then again, his blueprint was
impressive enough to earn all
those expectations in the first
place and solid enough that this
roster needs only a remodel after
this season to be able to challenge
for the NL East title again.
Rizzo might need to switch
back to coffee soon — he has a lot
of work to do.

painful rebuild. Center fielder
Adam Jones was close to being
traded as well but used his veto
power as a veteran player to shoot
down a proposed deal to the Phila-
delphia Phillies.
While the team’s ownership
situation remains in flux, with no
clear sign of an organizational
hierarchy or philosophy from the
Angelos sons — or even a strongly
declared intention to remain as
its owners — the team now must
replace the entire top tier of its
management structure. A critical
question will be where Brady An-
derson — a former Orioles slug-
ger, longtime Angelos confidant
and the vice president of baseball
operations — fits into the picture.
Wherever the Orioles go from
here — and given their depths in
2018, the rebuild they have begun
and the rarefied company they
keep in the AL East, things are
unlikely to get much better any-
time soon — it no longer will be

Freeland gives Rockies bona fide ace Wait is worth it for Hokies QB Willis
BY J ESSE D OUGHERTY
chicago — Before Javier Baez
knotted the score with a double,
before he hugged Nolan Arenado
while running between second
and third base, before the extra
innings piled up and the National
League wild-card game crept
toward midnight and then seeped
into the first minutes of Wednes-
day morning — long before all of
that — there was a pitchers’ duel at
Wrigley Field.
And Kyle Freeland won it.
“Got to start your postseason
experience somewhere,” the Colo-
rado Rockies pitcher said after
Tuesday night’s 2-1, 13-inning win
because he had never pitched in a
playoff game before facing Jon
Lester and the Chicago Cubs, and
so he had definitely never domi-
nated one, either.
“Right, isn’t that great?” Rock-
ies Manager Bud Black dead-
panned earlier that afternoon,
well before Freeland took the
mound, when reminded that his
starter, his ace, had zero postsea-
son experience going into the big-
gest game of the year.
That did not matter. Or maybe it
helped. Whatever it was, whatever
got into Freeland against the Cubs
with the season on the line, the
Rockies seem to have the kind of
arm that propels a team in Octo-
ber. The 25-year-old left-hander
threw 62/3 scoreless innings on just
three days’ rest — he had never
started on fewer than four days’
rest following another start in his
young career — and struck out six
hitters while walking just one. He
set down 12 consecutive Cubs
from the second inning to the
fifth, mixed a low- to mid-90s fast-
ball with a darting slider to do so
and helped the Rockies to a victo-
ry in the longest win-or-go-home
playoff game in baseball history.
That pushed them into a National
League Division Series matchup
with the Milwaukee Brewers,
which starts Thursday at 5:07 p.m.
at Miller Park. Freeland probably

season, the most by any team in
17 years. New York’s was evident
across 100 regular season wins —
good only for home-field advan-
tage in the dreaded wild-card
game — and again Wednesday
night in a game that could have
ended its season but instead
validated it.
With starter Luis Severino de-
livering four scoreless innings
and Aaron Judge giving them an
early lead on a two-run homer in
the first inning, the Yankees let
their deep bullpen and deep
lineup do the rest, breaking open
the game in the sixth on Luke
Voit’s two-run triple to right off
A’s closer Blake Treinen — who
hadn’t allowed more than two
earned runs in any month during
his brilliant regular season but
gave up three Wednesday night.
Before they depart the post-
season stage, the charming, up-
start, 97-win Athletics deserve
one last moment of appreciation.
Despite entering the season with
baseball’s lowest payroll and de-
spite being beset by a near-bibli-
cal plague of pitching injuries
that saw 10 different starters lost
to the disabled list, they were
baseball’s winningest team in the
second half, as well as its most
resourceful. Among the many
things for which they will be
remembered is adding the
phrase “the opener” to baseball’s
postseason lexicon.
Having clinched the wild card
with a week to spare in the
regular season, the Athletics had
the luxury of choosing any pitch-
er on their roster to start
Wednesday night’s game. They
chose a journeyman reliever on
his sixth franchise in eight years,
who had pitched only 24 innings
in the majors this season and
who was designated for assign-
ment in June, meaning any team
in the majors could have picked
him up for next to nothing.
Using Liam Hendriks as a
short-spurt “opener” made sense
in the context of a changing
game in which the line between
starters and relievers has been
blurred and especially in the
context of the A’s critical dearth
of decent starting pitchers.
But here it was a borderline
disaster. After leadoff man An-
drew McCutchen worked Hen-
driks for a five-pitch walk, Judge
. THE WASHINGTON POST
Left-hander’s gutsy start
in wild-card game shows
he is ready for spotlight
will pitch in Game 3 at Coors Field
in Denver on Sunday.
By the end of Tuesday night,
after all the substitutions and
pitching changes and theatrics at
the plate and in the field, it was
easy to forget that Freeland de-
fused Baez and Anthony Rizzo and
Kris Bryant and so on for more
than two-thirds of the regularly
scheduled game. But it was not
lost on the Cubs as they ambled
around a somber clubhouse, hug-
ging each other with reddened
eyes, picking at equipment that
soon would have to be packed up
for the winter. Lester — who was
only slightly less excellent in al-
lowing one run in six innings Tues-
day — said Freeland “threw his ass
off.” Cubs second baseman Daniel
Murphy praised him while an-
swering three different questions
framed around the Cubs’ offensive
struggles. Rizzo admitted that he
did not know much about Free-
land going into the game but said
now he certainly does.
The rest of the baseball world is
catching up, too.
“He loves to play. So I knew
going in that he was not going to
scare off and back down from this
challenge and pitching on short
rest was not going to bother him in
this game,” Black said after the
win. “There was a limit, and I
know that the adrenaline in these
games catches up with you. From
the time that he woke up this
morning he was excited, and you
could tell that he was excited the
first inning based on how he was
throwing.”
That excitement was not only
for the moment, a do-or-die start
inside the sport’s most hallowed
park, but also because of where
Freeland is from. He grew up in

inning home run Wednesday night as the Yankees moved on.
launched a 2-1 fastball on the
inside half of the plate into the
bleachers in left. Yankee Stadium
exploded, Judge circled the bases
with his head down, and the
Yankees had a 2-0 lead.
“I was already excited from the
national anthem on,” Judge said.
“The crowd was into it from the
beginning.”
Lou Trivino, the Athletics’
hulking setup man, entered in
the second and stabilized the
game with three scoreless, over-
powering frames. But given the
way Severino was pitching and
the arms that awaited deploy-
ment in the Yankees’ bullpen if
necessary, the A’s could have
used 1992 Dennis Eckersley as
their opener and followed him
with 1974 Catfish Hunter and
2002 Barry Zito, and it wouldn’t
have made a difference.
By the time Severino threw his
fourth pitch of the night — those
four pitches being fastballs of 96,
97, 99 and 98 mph — he already
had exceeded his performance in
the same game a year ago, when
he lasted just one-third of an
inning against the Minnesota
Twins.
“After what happened last
year,” Severino said of his domi-
nating opening frame, “that was
big for me.”
This time, Severino struck out
six A’s batters his first trip
through their order, carried a
no-hitter into the fifth and es-
caped a bases-loaded, two-out
jam in the fourth with a strikeout
of Marcus Semien on a 99-mph
fastball, flexing his arms and
letting out a guttural roar as he
stomped back to his dugout.
But a tight strike zone and
some iffy infield defense extend-
Denver, a die-hard Rockies fan,
glued to his television as Matt
Holliday led an upstart team to the
World Series in 2007. Freeland
was 14 then, still dreaming of
wearing those purple-and-black
uniforms, and is now starting an-
other run alongside a 38-year-old
Holliday and a stacked Rockies
lineup.
That 2007 team also relied on a
thumping offense, and its ace was
a 26-year-old left-hander named
Jeff Francis. Francis finished the
regular season with 17 wins, just as
Freeland did this year, but had a
4.22 ERA in 34 starts. That is
characteristic of even the Rockies’
steadiest pitchers because the di-
mensions of Coors Field create a
massive outfield for hitters to chip
doubles and triples into. Only one
starter on this year’s team had an
ERA below 3.77. It was Freeland.
His ERA, remarkably, settled at
2.85 on the third-to-last-day of the
season.
“I don’t think the lights will be
too big for him,” Arenado, the
Rockies’ star third baseman, said
before Tuesday’s game. “He wants
the ball, and for me, as a position
player, playing behind a pitcher,
that’s all you want. You want the
pitcher to want that ball, and he
wants it.”
That is an important character-
istic, especially now, as the stakes
rise and bullpens are taxed and
the compact playoff schedule de-
mands flexibility from starting
pitchers. That is not to suggest
Freeland is Clayton Kershaw or
Justin Verlander or Madison
Bumgarner, star starters who lift-
ed their teams with gutsy efforts,
either in relief or on short rest, in
recent postseasons. But he is the
closest the Rockies have to one of
those elastic, invaluable arms.
That counts for a lot this time of
year.

ed Severino’s innings, and he
departed two batters into the
fifth — it actually felt like a
curiously late hook, given the
game’s do-or-die nature — and
required right-hander Dellin Be-
tances to clean up the two-on,
no-out mess he left behind. At
the last moment when the game
felt legitimately up for grabs,
Betances struck out A’s designat-
ed hitter Khris Davis, the majors’
home run champ, and half-
danced, half-fell off the mound.
If Severino is going to be the
type of pitcher he showed
Wednesday night, as opposed to
the wayward soul who had a
5.57 ERA in the second half of the
regular season, and if Judge is
going to be this kind of hitter,
instead of the guy who homered
just once in 51 plate appearances
after coming back from the dis-
abled list in mid-September, the
Yankees are going to give the Red
Sox all they can handle — eight-
game deficit in the division be
damned.
“That’s kind of a good look at
when we’re at our best, right
there,” Boone said.
At various points Wednesday
night, as the outcome moved
from possible to probable to
assured, a chant, faint but clear,
went up from the crowd of
49,620 at Yankee Stadium: “We
want Boston! We want Boston!”
And by the end of a trium-
phant night, one punctuated by
Giancarlo Stanton’s towering
homer to left off Treinen in the
eighth, they had gotten what
they wanted: It will be Yankees
vs. Red Sox in the division
series. It has been a long time
coming.

BY GENE WANG
durham, n.c. — Virginia Tech
quarterback Ryan Willis was head-
ing to the postgame news confer-
ence late Saturday night following
a victory over Duke when a mem-
ber of the Hokies’ sports informa-
tion staff stopped him and whis-
pered, “The chewing gum.”
Willis paused, then, realizing
the hint, took the gum out of his
mouth and tossed it into a trash
receptacle next to the doorway be-
fore making his way to the micro-
phone. The room got a collective
chuckle from the moment, as did
Willis, who had gone so long be-
tween starts that he had to be gen-
tly reminded about interview eti-
quette.
Still, the junior transfer, smiling
broadly, indicated he was over-
joyed simply to be in this situation
again, addressing media members
following any game, much less a
win. At Kansas, his previous stop,
Willis did not win a game in
10 starts on a team that went 2-22
over his two seasons.
Now Willis was about to discuss
the Hokies’ 31-14 road triumph in
which he passed for 332 yards and
three touchdowns without an in-
terception.
“Man, it’s been a long journey,”
Willis, who turned 22 this past
weekend, said on the heels of his
first start since Oct. 15, 2016. “I’ve
gone through a lot throughout my
career, more than people will ever
know, and it just feels good being
out on the field again playing the
game I love, having fun, bouncing
around.”
Willis (6-foot-4, 223 pounds) did
not elaborate on the specifics of the
hardships to which he referred, but
there’s no doubt a culture of futility
within the Jayhawks program,
“Our defense is playing hard,” Maryland interim coach Matt Canada said. “They’re playing together.”
Terps’ improving ‘D’ faces major test
BY E MILY G IAMBALVO
As Maryland’s victory against
Minnesota stretched into the
fourth quarter, the visiting Gold-
en Gophers reached the point in
the lopsided game when kicking a
field goal was no longer a rational
play-call.
On one of Minnesota’s final
drives, a fourth-down attempt on
the 8-yard line ended with Mary-
land strip-sacking the quarter-
back and recovering the fumble.
On the Gophers’ next drive, they
again neared the goal line, but the
Terrapins’ defense replicated its
success, this time with an inter-
ception in the end zone.
Maryland allowed more points
per game than any other Big Ten
program in 2017, but its defense
has shown flashes of improve-
ment in each game this season,
with a test against No. 15 Michi-
gan coming Saturday.
While interim coach Matt Can-
ada continues to emphasize how
his focus remains on the offense,
the defensive coaches have taken
a committee approach to play-
calling with DJ Durkin, a former
defensive coordinator, on admin-
istrative leave. Yet through the
turmoil, the group has taken
strides this year, which Jesse
Aniebonam attributed to an in-
creased attention to detail.
“Especially with all the distrac-
tions going on, the coaches have
been really harping on everyone
paying attention to their job,
doing their job,” said Aniebonam,
who plays as a linebacker-defen-
sive end hybrid. “. . . We start
every meeting saying just do your
job, play every play with tech-
nique and effort.”
In the opener, Maryland al-
lowed Texas to score 22 consecu-
tive points but then forced turn-
overs on each of the Longhorns’
final three possessions to seal the
win over a team now ranked 19th
nationally. When penalties ham-
pered Maryland on the road
against Bowling Green, the de-
fense held its opponent scoreless
along with a revolving door at
quarterback, prompted him to
leave his scholarship behind and
walk on at Virginia Tech last sea-
son.
This week, after making his first
start in place of the injured Josh
Jackson, Willis is occupying a
brighter spotlight. The 24th-
ranked Hokies (3-1) will host No. 6
Notre Dame (5-0) on Saturday
night at Lane Stadium.
It will be the first time the Fight-
ing Irish play in Blacksburg, and
Virginia Tech officials are capitaliz-
ing on the national spotlight by
unveiling a monument in honor of
legendary former Hokies coach
Frank Beamer, the program’s archi-
tect.
“I never really doubted myself,”
Willis said, his voice filled with
emotion. “I always had my family
backing me up, no matter what,
always being positive, being sup-
portive. I can’t thank them enough.
It means the world.”
Willis’s parents attended the
game against the Blue Devils in
which Willis played with a com-
mand belying his relative inexperi-
ence in the Hokies’ system. Just one
week earlier, he was called off the
bench in the fourth quarter to re-
lieve Jackson, who suffered a bro-
ken left fibula during the 49-35 loss
at previously winless Old Domin-
ion, one of the most improbable
college football upsets in recent
years. (Jackson, according to
Coach Justin Fuente, underwent
surgery last week but has not been
ruled out for the season.)
With a full week of preparation
leading to the Duke game, Willis
directed an offense that amassed
413 yards.
“We’ve been watching him prac-
tice for going on two years now, so
we see him every day and know he
in the second half as the offense
pulled ahead. And even in the loss
against Temple, Maryland re-
turned an interception to score a
touchdown, something the of-
fense couldn’t do throughout the
entire game.
“Our defense is playing hard,”
Canada said. “They’re playing to-
gether. They’re playing assign-
ment-sound football.”
On third downs, Maryland’s
defense leads the Big Ten and
ranks 14th in the nation by allow-
ing its opponents to convert only
29 percent of their attempts. As
soon as the Terps (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten)
force an offense into that situa-
tion, the defense zeroes in on a
single goal: get off the field.
“We’ll do everything we have to
get off the field — sacks, [pass
breakups], stops,” defensive tack-
le Mbi Tanyi said. “We’ve got to
get off the field by any means
necessary.”
The group has benefited from
the return of Aniebonam, who
missed last season after breaking
his ankle in the opener. Until the
injury, Aniebonam, a fifth-year
senior, had appeared in every
game since he arrived in College
Park. As he recovered, Anieb-
onam had an unfamiliar view as a
spectator, which he said present-
ed the “opportunity to really fo-
cus on little details and little
things I can see within myself or
with my teammates.”
Early in the second half against
Bowling Green, Aniebonam ran
straight past the opposing right
tackle to sack quarterback Jarret
Doege. Aniebonam stomped the
turf a couple of times in celebra-
tion of a sack that helped signify
that he had returned. On the next
possession, Maryland gained the
lead for the first time and began
its surge ahead.
“Sacks are the greatest feeling
in football to me,” Aniebonam
said after the game. “I missed that
feeling. Being able to get it right
off the bat again in the second
game is just the best feeling in the
world. I’m just ready for more.”
D7
has some talent,” Fuente said. “He’s
a competitor. He has some tough-
ness and likes the game. He was
really having fun out there. It cer-
tainly wasn’t too big for him. In
turn, all that said, he made plays for
us. He gave our guys some opportu-
nities to make plays.”
Willis decided to transfer to Vir-
ginia Tech in part because of con-
nections with Fuente through
Hokies assistant James Shibest
and Darrell Dickey, who was Fu-
ente’s offensive coordinator from
2012 through 2015 when Fuente
coached Memphis.
Dickey played college football at
Kansas State, where his teammate
was Steve Willis, Ryan’s father.
Willis set Jayhawks freshman
records in passing yards (1,719) and
touchdown throws (nine) in 2015
when he became the starter in the
wake of injuries to three other
quarterbacks. He hurt his wrist the
following spring, hampering his
development, and wound up shar-
ing quarterback duties with Mon-
tell Cozart the next year.
Willis, a three-star recruit out of
high school, never even got the
chance to play for the coach who
brought him to Kansas — Charlie
Weis, who was dismissed after four
games in 2014.
“He’s done a great job just stay-
ing prepared,” said tight end Dal-
ton Keene, one of Willis’s closest
friends on the Hokies. “He’s been
the next up for a while, so when
Josh went down, he was ready to fill
that role, and I think he’s really
comfortable back there. It’s noth-
ing he hasn’t experienced before
from Kansas. He’s doing a really
good job filing in.”

Notre Dame at Virginia Tech
Saturday, 8 p.m., ABC
JOHN MCDONNELL/THE WASHINGTON POST
Aniebonam notched another
sack against Minnesota, making
him one of three players on the
roster with two sacks. Together,
the team has recorded 11 sacks
through one-third of the season,
which ranks eighth in the Big Ten
but stands in stark contrast to
last season, when the Terps
notched 16 in 12 games.
When the Terps played in Ann
Arbor in 2016, Michigan pounded
Maryland’s defense in a game
that ended in a 59-3 loss. Durkin
had been the Wolverines’ defen-
sive coordinator the year before
but had no answers for Michi-
gan’s 660 yards of offense.
“Two years ago, everyone
knows what happened,” senior
running back Ty Johnson said.
“This is a different team.”
Tanyi watched part of Michi-
gan’s game last weekend against
Northwestern live because Mary-
land had a bye, and he has
watched the rest as he has pre-
pared for this week’s matchup.
Northwestern, a team that has
won one game this year, had the
lead until late in the fourth quar-
ter — proving an upset could be
possible. But the margin for error
will be slim. (Canada argues
that’s the case in any game and
losses can usually be boiled down
to a few key plays.)
Twice this season — against
Bowling Green and Minnesota —
Maryland has lost more than
100 yards through penalties.
Against the Gophers, most of
those came when the defense was
on the field. So for Tanyi, the
week-old tape helps serve as a
reminder of how that can’t be the
case Saturday.
“It was mostly them stopping
themselves from winning that
game,” Tanyi said of Northwest-
ern’s loss to Michigan. “That’s
why I feel like they lost. I just feel
like if we clean up our mistakes
from last time, we’ll be better off.”

All interested parties are notified that an application dated July 5,
2018, has been received from the National Park Service by the
Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District, for approval of the location
and plans for improvement of an existing highway drawbridge over a
navigable waterway of the United States.
WATERWAY AND LOCATION: Potomac River, mile 110.0, in Washing-
ton, DC
CHARACTER OF WORK: The proposed project includes the replace-
ment of the 216 foot steel draw span, which has been permanently
secured in the closed position since 1965, with a fixed span; repairs
to the deteriorated portions of the abutments, piers and concrete
arch spans; replacement of the concrete bridge deck; resurfacing of
the travel lanes; replacement of the concrete sidewalks and refitting
of granite panels; restoration of the bridge drainage system; and
other minor non-structural bridge improvement. The purpose of this
project is to rehabilitate the Arlington Memorial Bridge to restore
the structural integrity of the bridge while protecting and preserving,
to the extent feasible, its memorial character and significant design
elements.
The existing drawbridge has a horizontal clearance of 142 feet and
a vertical clearance of 30 feet above mean high water in the closed
position and unlimited vertical clearance in the open position. The
new bridge will be a fixed bridge with a horizontal clearance of 142
feet and a vertical clearance of 30 feet above mean high water.

STEAL THE LOOK

A place for a child to grow, learn and play

BY M EGAN M C D ONOUGH

Decorating a child’s bedroom can be a daunting task. You want to create a space that can easily transition from nursery to playroom to
homework zone, with plenty of storage for toys, sports equipment, instruments, clothing and more. ¶ “With any kid’s room, the design objective is
usually happy, durable and practical,” wrote Alexandra Pappas and Tatyana Miron, designers and principals of Pappas Miron Design, in an email.
Their design for a 6-year-old’s bedroom in New York’s Upper East Side recently was getting some love on Instagram, with its bright colors and
space-saving homework nook (#nookgoals). They had been tasked with creating a youthful interior that would provide a workspace, ample storage
and enough floor space for playtime. ¶ “The palette is bright, but sophisticated,” the pair wrote in an email. The walls were kept a muted light blue so
the space would not “scream ‘kids room,’ ” while the orange plastic desk chair, custom teal twin bed and yellow desk accessories infused the space
with vibrant, youthful energy. ¶ The yellow desk lamp, the designers said, “doesn’t take up a lot of surface area on the small writing desk, but the
bold color packs a punch.” ¶ Want to achieve this look? Try these products. megan.mcdonough@washpost.com

Want to be a great neighbor? Here’s how to start.

BY D ANIEL B ORTZ

To live in a great neighbor-

hood — and enjoy all the com-
forts that come with being part
of a tightknit community — you
have to be a good neighbor
yourself.
There’s certainly no shortage
of examples of bad neighbors in
TV shows and films (think Hom-
er Simpson or any neighbor from
“Desperate Housewives”). But
what does it mean to be a
genuinely good neighbor?
Here, etiquette experts share
ways to build and maintain posi-
tive, long-lasting relationships
with your neighbors. (It requires
more than lending someone a
cup of sugar.)
Share important information
One of the best ways to
welcome new neighbors is by
providing them with a “need-
to-know” checklist, says Diane
Gottsman, author of “Modern
Etiquette for a Better Life.” If
you know a great housekeeper,
handyman, dry cleaner, dog

pharmacies.

Be a responsible pet owner
“Pets can be a big bone of
contention between neighbors,
so you need to keep them in
check,” says etiquette consultant
Lisa Mirza Grotts.
Start with pet etiquette 101:
Clean up after your pooch.
“When you take your dog for a
walk, do not deposit your dog’s
poop bag into someone else’s
trash can,” Gottsman says. “It
sounds basic, but it happens
a lot.”
Organize a service project
You may want to attend block
parties, community cookouts
and other neighborhood events
so that you can mingle and form
friendships. But to go an extra

Invite your neighbors over
Recently moved in? One way
to build rapport is by inviting
your neighbors over for a house-
warming party (instead of only
inviting your friends). But, “Let
people know that you’re not
accepting gifts,” Post says. “This
should be simply a social event.”
Once you’ve established a rela-
tionship, you could form a neigh-

Part of being a good neighbor
is avoiding gossip. However, Post
says there’s a difference between

surprised”).
Be a respectful party host
Keeping music at a reasonable
noise level when you’re throwing
a party is common sense. An
aspect people frequently over-
look, though, is minding where
their guests park. “The last thing
you want is for your guest to
block your neighbor’s driveway,”
Gottsman says. You also don’t
want your guests’ cars to take up
the entire block, which is why
Gottsman suggests hiring a valet
service.
Abide by community rules
When you live in a home-
owners or condo association, you
have to comply with the commu-
nity’s rules. Still, a lot of people
don’t take the time to review
their association’s rules, Swann
says. These rules may dictate
ity to police yourself if you want
to avoid conflict,” Swann says.
Also, check local codes to
make sure you’re following city
ordinances, particularly regard-
ing noise. (For example, Arling-
ton prohibits shouting, yelling
and other loud noises from mid-
night to 9 a.m.) A new survey by
Improvenet.com showed that six
of the top 10 complaints people
have about their neighbors in-
volve noise, whether from music,
voices, parties, kids, pets or
the TV.
Handle conflict judiciously
No matter how friendly you
are, you may have disagreements
or quibbles with neighbors. Han-
dling these conflicts with tact is
crucial.
Generally, if you have an issue
with a neighbor, your first line of
defense should be to try to
the subject by starting with a
compliment, and then suggest
working together toward a solu-
tion: “Duke is such a sweet dog.
However, I have noticed that he’s
been peeing on our begonias,
and I would really love to curb
that behavior so that my flowers
don’t die on me.” If you can’t
resolve the issue one-on-one,
contact your homeowner’s asso-
ciation.

HOME FRONT
Brian Sansoni on finding a laundry routine and preserving clothes
Brian Sansoni,
a vice presi-
dent at the
American
Cleaning
Institute,
joined staff
writer Jura
Brian Sansoni Koncius last
week for our
Home Front online chat. Here is
an edited excerpt.
Q: How can I make my laundry
routine more environmentally
friendly?
A: Working more cold-water
loads into your routine can play
a major role in the energy you
use (and the money you spend)
when doing laundry. About
90 percent of the energy your
washing machine uses goes
toward heating water. By
switching to cold-water washing,
your household could eliminate
about 1,600 pounds of carbon
dioxide a year.
Cold water is not only
important for the environment,
but also for your clothes. Hot
water can cause certain items to
fade, shrink or bleed. The right
temperature can prolong the life
span of your clothes and save
you money in the long run.
Q: What’s the best way to wash
jeans?
A: Jeans can typically be worn
three times — maybe more —
before washing them following
the instructions on the tag.
Many manufacturers
recommend washing jeans in
cold water, which can help
preserve the life of the fabric.
Q: I am a father of two young
daughters and am in the process
of introducing them to new
household chores — one being

laundry. What are some things to
keep in mind?
A: Having kids help with the
laundry can be a bonding
experience and a great way to
teach them important life skills.
Start with small tasks, such as
sorting clothing and checking
garment labels (if your child is
old enough to read). Use this
chance to teach the importance
of washing lights separate from
darks. Have them sort dark and
bright clothes in one load,
pastels and lighter colors in
another, and whites in a separate
load. Then remove fuzzy
sweatshirts, robes and bulky
bath towels that might shed lint
and wash those separately.
You can also visit
Packetsup.com to download
some coloring activity sheets and
learn about laundry safety.
Jeans can typically be worn three times before being washed, says
Brian Sansoni of the American Cleaning Institute.
Safety should always come first
in the laundry room. That means
all liquid laundry packets and
cleaners should be kept up and
out of reach (and sight) from
young children, even when
you’re in the laundry room with
them.
Q: Do you have advice on getting
rid of pit stains?
A: Try a pre-wash stain remover
or rubbing with bar soap. If
perspiration has changed the
color of the fabric, apply
ammonia to fresh stains or white
vinegar to old stains; rinse. Then
launder using the hottest water
safe for fabric.
Q: I have a son at college who is
doing his own laundry for the
first time. Any tips?
A: For many young adults,
college is the first real exposure
to creating a consistent laundry
routine. Here are a few things to
keep in mind:

Read the label and use the
recommended amount of
detergent. More detergent
doesn’t make clothes cleaner.

Sort your laundry ahead of
time and separate whites, lights
and darks in different loads.

Save energy by using cold
water.

If it’s dirty with dark stains,
don’t let it sit in your hamper for
too long.

Not sure about some
fabrics? Always read the label
ISTOCK
and pay close attention to the
materials.
Q: We’ve got a walking toddler in
the house. What is the best way
to keep my laundry room safe for
a child on the move?
A: Always keep laundry packets
and cleaning products up and
out of sight and in their original,
sealed containers. You can also
add child locks on cabinets or
closet doors and make sure
childproof locks are enabled on
laundry appliances.
Q: Any tips on washing with well
water? We have a water softener,
but it still seems like clothes are
rough and the cycle doesn’t
eliminate all the soap.
A: Make sure you are not adding
too much detergent. And
consider adding the detergent
first and letting the water level
fill completely before adding
dirty clothes. This will help the
detergent dissolve more
completely. Also, dryer sheets
may help soften the clothes.
Q: I’m still using a jug of
detergent, but someone told me
that I’m probably using too
much, and that switching to
packets will give me the right
amount. On all fronts — cost,
environmental impact,
effectiveness — do packets work
better or is it just a different
delivery method?
A: It’s really a matter of
preference. Liquid laundry
packets are quick and easy
because they’re pre-measured,
and detergent jugs can give more
flexibility based on the amount
of laundry in the load. Some
people swear by liquid
detergents because users control
the dose.
A reminder: Today’s powdered
and liquid detergents are more
concentrated than ever, so you
do not need to overdose your
loads.
Q: What makes a garment truly
dry-clean only? Are some
clothing manufacturers overly
cautious, or do some rayon and
polyester items actually need to
be dry-cleaned?
A: We recommend following
manufacturer guidelines for the
best fabric care. That’s an
approach that can extend the
garment’s life span, but of course
not the only route. There are
gentle-care detergents for finer
fabrics, as well as in-dryer kits
for special-care or “dry-clean
only” fabrics. Let’s face it — we
all don’t have time to run to the
dry cleaners so it’s good to have
options.
Q: I recall reading that it’s the
dryer, not the washing machine,
that beats up your clothing and
wears it out faster. Is that true?
A: Heat and friction can limit
the life span of a garment and
that can happen in the washer or
the dryer. Line-drying can be a
way to cut down on that wear
and tear, especially for delicate
items. Washing in cold water is
another option.
Q: My kids are stain factories.
Food, candy, ink, grass, mud and
the list goes on. Is there a silver
bullet for overall stain removal,
such as bleach? Or does it
depend on the type of stain?
A: Stains can be tricky to
remove, and there are different
solutions for different types. For
example, if bubble gum finds its
way to your kids’ (or your own)
pants or shirt, you can apply ice
or cold water to harden the gum
and then scrape it off with a
knife. There are all sorts of
stains, so reference the
American Cleaning Institute’s
stain removal chart (bit.ly/
2xLBRVO). Just remember: The
quicker you treat the stain, the
better.
Q: I have an LG all-in-one
washer/dryer. It isn’t vented, so
the drying cycle is endless and
inefficient. Do you have any tips
for improving performance?
A: Try smaller loads and
consider air-drying things that
take a long time, such as jeans
and towels.
Q: There are many “recipes” for
making your own detergents on
Pinterest and blogs. Do you have
any suggestions on the best
homemade detergents?
A: Use caution if you consider
taking the “make your own”
detergent route, because, well,
you’re on your own. With
formulated products, you get
specific product safety and usage
information on the label and
from the brand website.
Q: I moved to the United
Kingdom, where tumble dryers
are rare and the climate is rainy.
Do you have any tips on how to
make air-drying more efficient?
A: Use a scented laundry
detergent with an oxy boost and/
or a liquid fabric softener mixed
into the formula. Oxy-boost
laundry products are specifically
formulated for deodorizing
washable fabrics at all
temperatures, and in hard or soft
water. Liquid fabric softeners
work without a dryer. To help
dry your clothes more quickly,
try rolling them in a towel first.
Also, space them out on your
clothesline for more ventilation.
Q: One of my cats enjoys soiling
in inappropriate places. What is
the best product for cleaning
these messes: a cleaner with
enzymes or one with oxy power?
A: When it comes to laundering
pet stains, we recommend pre-
treating or soaking with a
product containing enzymes.
Also try sodium hypochlorite
bleach, if safe for the fabric, or
oxygen bleach.
Q: I have one of those low-water
use HE washers. I use liquid
detergent because if my loads
are small I’m afraid a laundry
packet will be too much. Are the
packets okay for HE washers?
A: Liquid laundry packets are
designed to work in a variety of
washing machines, including
HE. Remember the number of
packets used will depend upon
the size of the load and the level
of soil that is being removed. Be
sure to read and follow the HE
detergent’s product label and the
manufacturer’s appliance guide
to maximize your washer’s
efficiency.

With online crowdfunding, proceed with caution
BY L AURA D AILY
Call me a skeptic; I don’t mind.
Whenever I read or hear about an
online fundraising campaign to
help the victims of a tragedy — an
apartment fire, a deadly accident,
a senseless shooting — a little
voice in my head asks, “How do I
know the money will go to the
intended recipients?”
Technology makes it easy to
donate, either through texts or
crowdfunding sites such as
GoFundMe, Fundly and
FundRazr. Perhaps too easy, be-
cause it raises the potential
for abuse.
Take the case of Johnny Bob-
bitt, a homeless man who made
headlines when he spent his last
$20 to help fill the gas tank of a
stranded motorist in Philadel-
phia. That motorist, Kate Mc-
Clure, started a GoFundMe cam-
paign to help Bobbitt, raising
more than $400,000 from more
than 14,000 people.
Nearly a year later, Bobbitt was
in the news again. Only this time
the Good Samaritan was suing
McClure and her boyfriend for
the funds. His pro bono lawyer
claimed that the couple commit-
ted fraud by spending the fund-
raising money on themselves for
lavish vacations and a luxury car.
If the allegations are true, not
only was Bobbitt duped, so were
those 14,000 donors. So how can
you protect yourself when donat-
ing to a crowdfunding charitable
campaign?
Practice impulse control
Our DNA is practically hard-
wired to be generous. You see
something on the news that
makes you feel bad or angry.
Emotions swell and you want to
do something, now, and thanks to
crowdfunding technology, you
can. Resist the urge. Instead, jot
down the information or book-
mark the donation link, and give
yourself a day to think about the
ways to use that money and
whether there are other options,
suggests Christopher Olivola, an
assistant professor of marketing
at Carnegie Mellon University’s
Tepper School of Business, who
studies charitable giving. “Come
back tomorrow if you still feel like
donating,” he says. Taking a time-
out will also allow you to follow
these steps.
Do your research
Although GoFundMe verifies
that the person collecting the
money is who they say they are,
the company can’t verify what
they’ll do with the funds. You may
have to do some sleuthing on
your own. Before you give, find

GoFundMe to help him. Now his lawyer claims McClure and her boyfriend committed fraud.
out who will be handling and
managing the money. Is it an
individual or an organization?
Read the campaign description
and goals. Where is the money
going and what is it for — food,
clothing, medical care, funeral
expenses — or is it going into a
more general fund? If the
campaign is for a specific person,
that person’s name should be
front and center. Talk to the
campaign organizer. On some
platforms, you can send a direct
message to the organizer. Is the
money being deposited into a
special bank account? If so, who
has account access? How will the
money be distributed to those
who need it? Will records be kept
of expenditures? Is the organizer
willing to share that and any
other information with you? Is
there a plan to keep donors in-
formed after the campaign ends?
Review other options
A catastrophe may occur in
minutes, but recovery may take
weeks, months or years, says Lar-
ry Lieberman, chief operating
officer of Charity Navigator, an
independent evaluator of U.S.
nonprofits. Crowdfunding cam-
paigns are often the first re-
sponse by a well-meaning do-
gooder. But there may be more
established ways to ensure your
donation is maximized. Law
enforcement agencies, for exam-
ple, often have associated benev-

money going and what
is it for?
olent funds to help officers in-
jured or killed in the line of duty
and their families. It may take a
day or two for that agency to
disseminate that information to
the public.
Don’t be first in line
Unless you start a crowdfund-
ing campaign, there’s no need to
be the first to pony up. Wait to see
what others do. Also, the plat-
forms usually have a place for
donors to leave comments and
feedback. Read them to get a
better feel for where your money
is going and whom it is helping. If
something looks wrong, ask ques-
tions or contact the crowdfund-
ing website directly.
Resist peer pressure
Not only can you use technol-
ogy to give, but social media
makes it easy to let everyone you
know you did so. Olivola says one
factor in crowdfunding can be
“look at me.” Just because every-
one in your orbit is donating
doesn’t mean you must. More
important is feeling good about
your donation.
Avoid total strangers
Unless you know the person
running the campaign or the
recipient, there are no assuranc-
es. A good rule of thumb: Donate
only to those you know personal-
ly or to a friend of a friend and/or
family member.
Be smart about sharing info
With any online transaction,
you want to ensure your personal
information and credit card num-
ber remain safe. Looks for the
“https” and tiny padlock in your
browser’s URL bar. That’s a sign
the site uses secure and encrypt-
ed technology to process your
credit card. Read the platform’s
privacy policy to clearly under-
stand how your personal data will
be used or shared. And although
it probably won’t affect your will-
ingness to give, you may want to
9

see how much of your donation
goes toward processing fees.
Monitor medical campaigns
One-third of GoFundMe cam-
paigns are for medical bills. That
makes the category ripe for
scams. Besides researching the
individual benefiting from the
funds, maintain a connection af-
ter your donation. Typically, that
person or others will report on
their progress, either through the
funding site, social media or a
personal health-journal site such
as CaringBridge.
This may be an instance, how-
ever, in which you can opt to
bypass crowdfunding. Many hos-
pitals have nonprofit foundations
through which you can make a
directed donation to help a spe-
cific person. And unless the per-
son has specifically asked to opt
out, a medical facility can tell you
whether an individual is a pa-
tient. If you do make a directed
donation, ask for a receipt ac-
knowledging both the amount
and to whom the money is going.
Don’t discount all campaigns
Still a skeptic? Despite the
headlines, most crowdfunding
charity campaigns are legit, ac-
cording to Lieberman. Here’s an
example: When Simon Brown
learned one of the maintenance
staffers at his 166-unit D.C. condo
complex faced deportation to El
Salvador in 2019, he helped initi-
ate a GoFundMe page. The goal
was to raise $15,000 to cover fees
and legal expenses so that the
man could apply for permanent
resident status.
“We chose crowdfunding be-
cause we wanted something easi-
ly shareable online. Our building
manager set up the page, we
emailed the link to the entire
building and shared it with
the washington post . thursday, october 4 , 2018
friends,” Brown says. Within a
month, the group had contribut-
ed $18,000, and the maintenance
man and his wife are working
their way through the application
process.
As for Johnny Bobbitt? Turns
out his story has a happy-ish
ending. GoFundMe has prom-
ised to give him the money
raised, releasing a statement
that says in part: “Our platform
is backed by the GoFundMe
Guarantee, which means that in
the rare case that GoFundMe,
law enforcement or a user finds
campaigns are misused, donors
and beneficiaries are protected.”

Growing season is ending, but the work is not done
Late-season perennials and
grasses are ruling the roost
to give the garden a final
vitality in October, for us
the last full month of the
growing season. How
Adrian rewarding to see various
Higgins asters, switch grasses and
GARDENING caryopteris bring a wispy
fullness to the landscape.
How distant the idea that
the fall garden is defined by potted
chrysanthemums.
Over the next few weeks, the
herbaceous-rich garden will go through
another passage of ornament in its
decline. This “fifth season” invites close
examination; indeed it depends on it.
Grasses will turn from green to various
shades of tan, khaki, red and even blue
and purple. Similar colors will be seen in
a kaleidoscope of perennial vegetation,
and you can add to that palette the deep
dusky grays and blacks found in the
foliage, stems and seed heads of baptisia,
liatris and coneflowers.
Although perennials and grasses are
taking their curtain calls, other plants in
the garden are quietly demonstrating
that life goes on. Since August, shrubs
and trees have been developing the tiny
buds that will burst into leaf and flower
next spring. Eight weeks on, these buds
are quite evident to the careful observer,
and they will become more so once the
leaves have dropped.
If you look at flowering dogwoods, you
will see ash-gray, turban-shaped buds
projecting on stalks between the still-
green leaves. The dogwood’s showy white
blooms are the stuff of April, but here
they are already, tightly furled and
wrapped in those turbans, protected from
the cold as they develop through the
winter.
Peer deeply into the whorls of pine
needles and you will see the waxy orange
buds that will become the needle
fascicles, the candles that will elongate
and open over the first weeks of spring.
Nestled in the twigs of the fothergilla
are the buds that will emerge into the

freezes and by pulling them as they reach

If you have bare-soil beds in the end-of-
season vegetable or flower garden, in
ornamental beds that have yet to be
planted, or any expanse of disturbed and
unplanted soil, the best bet is to plant a
winter cover crop.
This needs to be done quite soon.
Seeds can be found at some garden
centers, rural feed stores or in catalogues
such as Johnny’s Seeds, Southern
Exposure Seed Exchange and Territorial
Seed Co. Besides their ability to crowd
out weeds, cover crops that are dug under
in spring supply nutrients and organic
matter to build the soil. They also can
provide some winter interest. The
workhorse is winter rye, whose sight can
make the most sedentary homeowner
reminisce about an imagined life on
the farm.
A legume named hairy vetch is favored
by farmers for its ability to add nitrogen
to the soil, and some growers mix it with
rye so that the grass can nurture it
through the winter, when the vetch is
small. I’ve noticed that in gardens where
it is used, it can seed and become
something of a weed itself.
My favorite leguminous cover crop is
crimson clover, not to be confused with
red clover. Crimson clover doesn’t run
through your lawn but produces tall,
discrete plants that are smothered in eye-
catching deep-red blooms in May. The
drawback is you have to wait until well
into the growing season to enjoy them (if
you want the flowers), but it’s a good
choice for areas where you are growing
plants you can put in late, such as winter
squash, sunflowers, beans or okra, to
name a few.
Fava beans come in two basic forms,
the large-seeded varieties that give us the
culinary treat and small-seeded types
used for silage. Both can be sown in
October for a May crop. I’ve grown both
and find them hard to distinguish in their
spring vigor. The beans of the smaller
type are still quite edible.
Most of these cover crops will survive
happily down to 10 degrees; the vetch, in
even colder conditions. Will we have such
a winter? Who knows; in a time of such
unpredictable weather and shifting
climate, you would have to be a fool or at
least a groundhog to predict the
forthcoming seasons. The one certainty is
that weeds don’t hibernate.

How to go the distance in a running-shoe search

BY A MBY B URFOOT

Choosing the right running

shoe has never been easy. There
are so many shoe companies and
so many models, each touting var-
ious high-tech features. How is a
buyer supposed to make the
smartest choice?
Now is the season to figure it
out. With cross-country in full
swing and the year’s most popular
marathons and half-marathons
just weeks away, lots of runners
are looking for new footwear. For-
tunately — almost amazingly —
many experts believe shoe-buying
is getting simpler. You don’t need
a computer algorithm. You’ll
probably fare best by trusting
your sense of feel.
Forget minimalist styles
A few years ago, “minimalist
shoes,” designed to mimic bare-
foot running, were all the rage.
The theory might have been good,
but the results weren’t. “To bor-
row from Winston Churchill, nev-
er has so much damage been done
to so many by such little shoes,”
says D.C. podiatrist Stephen

So long, ‘wet test’
Of course, super-cushioning,
like lack of cushioning, can’t elim-
inate all running injuries. So, nei-
ther a maximalist nor minimalist
design is the key to finding a good
running shoe.
Nor, it turns out, is the shape of
your foot, despite the fact that
consumers have been advised for
decades to buy shoes based on the
height of their arches. This is de-
termined, not so scientifically, by
the “wet test,” which involves step-
ping into a pan of water and then
onto a sheet of paper to create a
footprint. If you have flat feet,
your feet are assumed to “over-
pronate,” or roll inward, and
you’re supposed to buy rigid
shoes. If you have high arches,
you’re supposed to buy a shoe
with extra cushioning and
support.
Nigg explains that pronation is an
entirely normal phenomenon. In
fact, it’s the way humans are de-
signed to walk and run. Excessive,
harmful overpronation is rare,
Nigg says. A 2014 study in the
British Journal of Sports Medi-
cine confirmed his position by
following 927 novice runners for a
year and finding that the prona-
tors had, if anything, fewer inju-
ries than non-pronators.
“The foot is going to move the
way it prefers to move, regardless
of the shoe,” says Clearwater, Fla.,
running podiatrist Brian Fullem,
author of “The Runner’s Guide to
Healthy Feet and Ankles.”
This means runners who are
used to buying shoes based on the
height of their arches or the advice
of salesmen who have watched
them run across the store to gauge
their pronation tendency need a
new strategy.
runners should sample five or six
pairs before making a final choice.

To cut down on a child’s whining, first understand the cause

BY M EGHAN L EAHY

Q: I’m a stay-at-home mom

of three kids (5, 4 and 2).
I’m really struggling with
my 4-year-old’s whining.
He’s in preschool for three
hours a day, four days a
week, but when he’s home,
he’s constantly whining
about wanting to watch TV
or wanting to play with
someone. When my
5-year-old gets home from
kindergarten, the
4-year-old will follow him
around wanting to play, but
my kindergartner is still
adjusting to his full-day
schedule and wants time to
play on his own — which
leads to a lot of fighting. I
do play with the 4-year-old
when I can, but I also have
to care for my high- WASHINGTON POST ILLUSTRATION/PRISMA FILTER/ISTOCK

and make meals, do
laundry, etc. If it’s a
playmate he’s after, I’ll
usually tell him I’ll play
after I’m done with X, Y or
Z, but lately it’s TV he
wants (we have a two-hour-
per-day screen-time limit
that I usually save for
helps to think of it as a language.
Your son, as annoying as it can
sound, is trying to tell you
something. Our parental instinct
is to shut it down and preserve
peace at all costs, but to really
cut down on the whining, we
need to understand why he is
doing it.
As I was reading your note, I
thought of Alfred Adler, an
Austrian doctor and
psychotherapist from the early
competitive.
Although I am not ready to
rest every parenting issue you
have at Adler’s doorstep, I do
think his ideas provide food for
thought. For instance, you are
witnessing your 4-year-old
desperately trying to play with
his big brother, but he is being
rejected. The 2-year-old is
running you ragged (as toddlers
do), taking all of your time and
attention.
old is not mature enough to plan
these behaviors; he is simply
doing what feels right, even
though it hurts both of you.
So, how can you help your son
whine less?
Accept that you’re in charge,
not the 4-year-old. We cannot
place the burden of change upon
the shoulders of a child this
immature.
Set aside special time.
Special time is, essentially,
blood, but you need to find a way
to say your “no” to TV once and
then not speak about it again.
Don’t offer other choices (unless
he seems genuinely open to
them), don’t ask him to stop
whining, don’t threaten him and
don’t reward him for stopping;
just wait it out. I know what I am
asking is difficult, but it is the
fastest way to extinguish the
whining. Again, this will work
only if you are upping the special

strategic times such as
making dinner). So, he’ll
whine, “I want to watch
another show,” a hundred
times before I end up
sending him to his room.
There has to be a better
way to address this, right?
A: You, my friend, are in the
thick of it. If you aren’t chasing
the 2-year-old, you are helping
your 5-year-old transition into
“big kid school,” and in the
middle of this is a whiny 4-year-
old who needs something, but
what?
When it comes to whining, it
1900s, who created an entire
study around personality
development, with a particular
interest in birth order. Adler
posits that when you are born in
your family (first, middle, last,
only) helps create a set of traits
that lasts a lifetime. For
instance, firstborn children are
typically leaders, perfectionists,
organized, people-pleasing and
reliable. Last-born children tend
to be sensitive, risk-takers and
the life of the party. The middle
children have the biggest
variation of personality traits,
and this is because they are
playing catch-up to the older
child while also feeling
supplanted by the baby of the
family. But middle children seem
to share the personality traits of
being attention-seeking and
So, it is clear that your middle
child is between a rock and a
hard place. But other than
jostling for his place in the
family, why is he whining? One
reason is that whining works!
Children’s brains (as well as
ours) thrive on getting attention.
And this attention can be good
or bad.
Every time he whines for
more TV and pushes and pushes,
and every time you lose your
patience and send him to his
room, his brain says, “When I
whine, Mom pays attention to
me.” And even though it makes
no sense to us, a child would
rather be yelled at than ignored.
That’s how powerful belonging
and connections are.
However, this is unconscious
in the child’s mind. Your 4-year-
playing with your son (no tech,
please) for a discrete amount of
time (10 to 30 minutes is
perfect). Either of you can
choose the activity. For special
time to work best, try to adhere
to a schedule. The more routine
this time becomes, the more
your son will begin to trust that
you will keep up your end of the
bargain. As the special times add
up, you will begin to see him
relax. You are filling up his
attention cup and — this is
important to understand — he
didn’t need to chase you for the
attention. You are offering your
attention with joy, regularity and
structure.
Stop sending him to his room.
If connection is the problem,
distance doesn’t provide any res-
olution. I know he is boiling your
time, snuggling, laughing, play-
ing and positive attention.
Finally, do you need help?
You are in a pretty intense
period in parenting, and a
mother’s helper could be a
godsend to you. Please zoom out,
look at your most stressful hours
and ask yourself: “How can I
bring some ease to these
scenarios?” There are always
support options. We mothers
were never meant to go it alone.
Good luck.

6 ways to raise confident decision-makers
As they grow, children can waver and depend on others’ input. Help them find their independence.
BY K ATE R OPE
On every vacation we allow our daugh-
ters to pick out a souvenir. We browse local
shops until we find the “perfect” reminder
of our time together. On a recent trip, my
6-year-old immediately homed in on a
small stuffed cat, but her 10-year-old sister
and I pointed out that we were only in the
first store. She reluctantly agreed to keep
looking.
Over the next hour, however, she contin-
ued to solicit our opinion on the cat. We
told her it was her decision, but she
refused to make it. It was a small moment,
but it struck me deep inside.
For much of my life, I made decisions by
committee. After a difficult breakup at age
27 — and some good therapy — though, I
learned how to listen to the tiny voice
inside me, which had known for nearly a
decade that the relationship was not right.
That $9 stuffed kitty became a symbol
for all the times the needs, opinions and
goals of others drowned out my own, and it
launched me on a mission to help my
daughter develop confidence in her own
opinions, ideally long before she turns 27.
I asked Katie Hurley, a child and adoles-
cent psychotherapist in El Segundo, Calif.,
and author of “No More Mean Girls,”
whether my daughter’s tendency to rely
heavily on input from others was a bad
thing. Was it a symptom of anxiety? Or, as I
was pessimistically forecasting, was it
proof that she is destined to put the
opinions of others before her own until she
winds up on a therapist’s couch? And
would it be my fault?
“For parents, the fear is, ‘Is my kid
paralyzed with anxiety, and am I enabling
that by always providing the committee to
help make the choice?’ ” Hurley says. But,
she adds, this kind of crowdsourcing is
“probably a function more of personality
type.” Kids who are more introverted “tend
to be the overthinkers.” For them, “learn-
ing how to make quicker decisions is a
developmental process.” And although
some people never learn, Hurley says, you
can help guide children at a younger age.
Whew.
Here are some ways parents can help
their kids become confident and
independent decision-makers who know
themselves.
Empathize, but don’t solve the issue
“Acknowledge that you go through this,
too,” Hurley says, as a child and as an adult,
and then let your child know that you see
her struggle. But try to listen without
jumping in.
The key, which I clearly missed, is
shutting up. “Parents are directing kids all
the time and robbing them of age-appro-
priate decision-making practice,” says
Emily Green, a child and family therapist
in Atlanta. “We talk them out of it. We talk
them into it. Then they never have to
practice their own decision-making or
problem-solving skills.” On the flip side,
Green says, “If we can press the mute
button and pause, that’s where the growth
comes in.”
Help your child listen to herself
Green suggests using words such as
“seems like” and “sounds like” to help a
child identify what she is feeling: “Sounds
like you are unsure if you want the cat.
Seems like you’re feeling a little stuck.”
Developing kids’ awareness of their emo-
tions helps them calm down and make
a choice.
“If you go back and replay the whole
scenario,” Hurley says, “your daughter
actually knew what she wanted from
minute one, but you and your older
daughter said, ‘Wait, there might be some-
thing better,’ and then she spent time
worrying about it.” Helping her get back in
touch with what she wanted would have
been a good place to start, by telling her, “It
seems like that cat really spoke to you. Tell
me why it means so much to you.” Giving
her a moment to articulate her desire is
part of “teaching her the process of
knowing herself,” Hurley says.
Provide structure
After you’ve helped your child voice her
struggle and get in touch with her gut, let
her know it is her decision. Tell her, “It
seems like you’re really looking for me to
decide for you, but this is a decision for you
to make,” Green says. Then give her a time
frame — five to 10 minutes — in which to
make it. You also can offer techniques that
have helped you, such as making a pros-
and-cons list or asking yourself how you
would help a friend facing the same choice.
But let her make the decision herself. And
let your child know, “I’m confident you can
make this decision,” suggests Betty Wood,
a parent coach in Decatur, Ga.
Practice decision-making
Look for small moments to make choic-
es. At the grocery store, let your child
decide whether it’s broccoli or peppers for
dinner. “Making a series of small decisions
will help her learn to make pros and cons
quickly and get into the habit of decision-
making,” Hurley says.
As kids get older, keep the ball in their
court as much as you can. “I hear parents
of all age kids say things like, ‘I just really
want her to go out for the robotics club
because I know that she loves that stuff,’ ”
15
MD
Green says. “So often when we make
suggestions, or we try to convince our kids
what’s best for them, or try to steer them
into something they are good at, we are
robbing them of opportunities to pick
what is fulfilling for them.”
When we tell kids, “That didn’t hurt,” or,
“Wear your jacket, it’s cold out,” we subtly
undermine their own assessment of situa-
tions, Green says. “If we do that, it’s not
realistic that they will grow up to be adults
who trust their own opinions.” (Although
Green says it’s fine to put a child’s jacket in
his backpack so he can put it on later if he
feels cold.)
Encourage reflection
“Children are told what to do so often
that when they make a good decision, it’s
not acknowledged,” Wood says. In the case
of — spoiler alert — my daughter’s choice
to buy the cat and her subsequent explo-
sion of happiness, I might have said,
“Seems like when you listened to what you
wanted, you made the choice that fit you.”
You can also help kids get in touch with
how they felt when they didn’t follow their
inner compass — especially when peers
complicate behavior (whether they are 6 or
16). That might sound like, “It seems like
you end up only doing things Claire wants
to do when you hang out with her and not
having fun.”
That can help them recognize when
their behavior doesn’t match their goals or
beliefs, Green says.
Discuss learning to live with regret
Of course, part of making decisions is
sometimes making the wrong one. “We are
trying to sweep away all the problems of
our children’s lives, but we all have
regrets,” Hurley says.
Let your kids know you feel regret, too,
and help them find a way to work through
the discomfort of it, such as writing the
regret down on a piece of paper, crumpling
it into a ball and throwing it into the trash,
the washington post . thursday, october 4 , 2018
or folding it into a paper airplane and
sending it away. “For kids, symbolic acts
hold a lot of feeling,” Hurley says.
You also can deconstruct the decision
and help them think through what might
be helpful the next time they have a choice
to make.
“The hard part about life is we always
live with regret,” Hurley says. “The great
thing is that there is always a next time.”
