A gun battle revolving around numbers At Troop F,

NRA squeezes research, But the powerful gun lobbying group that had a chilling effect on federal studies

WASHINGTON — After the high school
shootings that killed 17 people in Park-
land, Fla., gun control advocates have
seized the momentum with attacks on the
National Rifle Association and captured
public attention with Saturday’s nation-
wide protests.

challenges to its absolutist stand on the

Laws backed by the NRA and other pro-

which firearms dealers are selling the
most guns used in crimes, information the
federal government collects but won’t
share, even with premier research univer-
sities. The NRA also pushed through rules

Payroll numbers not revealed
for State Police airport division

GLOBE STAFF
Revelations about an al-
leged overtime scam, a wave
of suspensions, and hefty pay
for Massachusetts State Police
troopers have sparked scruti-
ny of the state’s largest law en-
forcement agency.
But troopers’ actual earn-
ings are much higher than
previously reported, and new
disclosures raise further ques-

spending, oversight, and
transparency.
Payroll records for an en-
tire 140-trooper State Police
division — including some of
the department’s highest
earners — have been hidden
from public view and weren’t
filed with the state comptrol-
ler for several years, the Globe
has found.
The records for Troop F,
which polices Logan Interna-
tional Airport and parts of the
Seaport, among other areas,
accounted for more than
$32.5 million in spending last
year and portray a lucrative,
overtime-laden operation that
outpaces the compensation
totals of troopers working in
other State Police divisions.
For example, Thomas J.
Coffey was paid $351,774 last
year, including $137,091 in
overtime pay, making him the
second-highest earner in the
agency, behind only the for-

Trump won’t hire two picked for his legal team
Upheaval comes
as investigation
nears key stage
By Maggie Haberman
and Michael S. Schmidt
NEW YORK TIMES
NEW YORK — President
Trump has decided not to hire
tw o l aw y e r s w h o w e r e a n -
nounced last week as additions
to his legal team, leaving him
with a shrinking stable of law-
yers as the investigation by the
special counsel, Robert Muel-
ler, enters an intense phase.
“ The president is disap-
pointed that conflicts prevent
Joe diGenova and Victoria
Toensing from joining the
president’s special counsel le-
gal team,” Trump’s personal
lawyer, Jay Sekulow, said Sun-
day.
“However, those conflicts
do not prevent them from as-
sisting the president in other
legal matters,’’ he said. “The
president looks forward to
working with them.”
The upheaval on the legal
team comes at a critical time
for Trump. The president’s for-
mer lead lawyer, John Dowd,
quit the team Thursday, just as
Trump is deciding whether to
sit with Mueller for an inter-
view. At the moment, Sekulow
is the president’s chief outside
lawyer, as Trump’s longtime
New York lawyer, Marc Kasow-
itz, remains on the periphery.
While Trump’s lawyers, in-
cluding Dowd, had told the
president that the investiga-
tion would be over by this
point, it seems to be accelerat-
ing, as Mueller appears to be
looking into a wide range of
matters related to Trump’s cor-
porate activities, his 2016 cam-
paign, his associates, and his
time in office.
Trump met with diGenova
and Toensing, who are married,
in recent days to discuss the
possibility they would join his
legal team in the Mueller case.
According to two people told of
details about the meeting, the
president did not believe he
had personal chemistry with
diGenova and Toensing.
But beyond that, Toensing

US money for opioid crisis called lacking
CHERRY HILL, N.J. — The
federal government will spend
a record $4.6 billion this year
to fight the nation’s deepening
opioid crisis, which killed
42,000 Americans in 2016.
But some advocates say the
funding included in the spend-
ing plan the president signed
Friday is not nearly enough to
establish the kind of treatment
system needed to reverse the
crisis. A White House report
last fall put the cost of the
overdose epidemic at more
than $500 billion a year.
Former representative Pat-
rick Kennedy, who served on
President Trump’s opioid com-
mission last year, said that

Catalan separatist leader arrested in Germany
Act sparks fierce rallies in Barcelona
Puigdemont faces hearing Monday
By Griff Witte
WASHINGTON POST
BERLIN — Authorities in
Germany arrested former Cat-
alan president Carles Puigde-
mont on Sunday after he
crossed into the country from
Denmark, setting up a possible
extradition of the fugitive sep-
aratist leader to Spain.
Puigdemont’s lawyer said
his client had been taken to a
police station. German police
confirmed that Puigdemont
had been arrested at 11:19
a.m. Sunday by highway patrol
officers in Schleswig-Holstein,
a state that borders Denmark.
Prosecutors said a court
would decide at a procedural
hearing Monday whether to
keep Puigdemont in custody
pending a Spanish extradition
request.
Authorities had been tipped
off that Puigdemont would be
entering Germany, and multi-
ple German media outlets re-
ported that Spanish intelli-
gence had been used to snare
the Catalan nationalist.
In Barcelona, thousands of
proindependence Catalans
gathered to protest the arrest,
leading to clashes with police,
the Associated Press reported.
Protesters also turned out in
the northern city of Girona,
where Puigdemont was mayor
before he became regional
president in 2016.
The arrest marked the lat-
est in a series of maneuvers
that have left Catalonia’s inde-
pendence movement with few
leaders who are not either be-
ing held or sought as fugitives.
Puigdemont is wanted in
Spain on charges of rebellion
and sedition arising from his
role in organizing an October
referendum on Catalan inde-
pendence. If convicted, he
could face as many as 30 years
in prison.
The Catalan leader has been

But Choi, who used only her
last name to protect her and
her family against possible ret-

about her sister.

The NRA disputes the no-
tion that it’s cutting off scien-
tific study.
“Anyone who thinks there’s
a lack of researchers studying
firearms has been ignoring the
headlines,” said Lars Dalseide,
an NRA spokesman. “The fact
is a number of studies are re-
leased every year. While most
are tainted with preconceived
outcomes in search of support-
ing data, there is plenty of
funding in that arena.”
Gun control supporters
were able to use the public out-
rage over the Parkland shoot-
ings to notch a rare victory
when the Florida Legislature
passed measures that include
an increase in the minimum
age to own a gun from 18 to
21.

mass shootings. In cities such
as St. Louis, Baltimore, and
Detroit, where gun violence is
rampant, residents have no ac-
cess to the bigger picture that
might show why so many
weapons have flowed into their
cities.
The difficulty in gaining ac-
cess to gun data, or in conduct-
ing federally funded research,
is the result of decades of work
by the NRA. The powerful lob-
bying group has ensured that
legislation — initially attached
as riders to larger bills — be-
came law.
One federal law, approved
in 1996 and named for Jay
Dickey, a former Republican
congressman from Arkansas,
specified that the Centers for
Disease Control and Protection
could not conduct research in-
tended to bolster gun control
advocacy.
Congress, in its budget bill
that was signed by President
Trump on Friday, included a
provision clarifying that the
rule was not meant to choke off
all gun research. But the Dick-
ey amendment was never the
only reason gun-violence re-
search was c ur tailed, and
therefore advocates are uncer-
tain whether changing it will
mean new money will flow into
research.
The 1996 provision came
amid a massive fight the NRA
picked over the role of the Na-
tional Center for Injury Pre-
vention and Control, which is
part of the CDC.
“They wanted to abolish the
whole injury center,” said Mark
Rosenberg, who was the direc-
tor of the National Center for

bill. Congress compromised;

Following marches, students and politicians keep heat on NRA
By David Weigel
WASHINGTON POST
WASHINGTON — Propo-

sures largely had the television
news shows to themselves Sun-
day, with student activists and
Democratic senators dominat-
ing the conversation and one
Republican senator distancing
herself somewhat from the Na-
tional Rifle Association.
The NRA, which was fre-
quently attacked from the stag-
es of March for Our Lives ral-
lies, came up repeatedly.
On ‘‘Fox News Sunday,’’ two
students were pushed into a
kind of debate, with Parkland,
Fla., shooting survivor Camer-
on Kasky asked to respond to
Kyle Kashuv, a fellow student
who argued that march orga-
nizers had not been honest
about their desire to ban ‘‘as-
sault rifles.’’
‘‘We are not trying to take
away everybody’s guns away,
and the NRA wants people to
think that,’’ Kasky said. ‘‘They
are fearmongers. They want to
sell weapons by exploiting peo-
ple’s fears.
“So, the second we want to
put common-sense resolutions
on these assault weapons, the

ment that barred the CDC from
conducting research that advo-
cated for gun control.
“This was really a warning
shot. A shot across the bow,”
Rosenberg said. Congress sent
another message when it re-
duced the center’s budget by
$2.5 million, the exact amount
that CDC had used to fund a
gun-related study that the NRA
disliked.
The final warning came in
1999: Rosenberg was fired
from his job.
“People got the message
that this is a very hard area to
work in. If you’re a researcher,
you’re not going to get funded.
If you’re in the federal bureau-
cracy, you’re going to get has-
sled,” Rosenberg said.
Dickey, before he died in
2017, forged a friendship with
Rosenberg and told NPR in
2015 that he regretted pushing
the amendment that has been
credited with choking re-
search.
The 2003 Tiahrt Amend-
ment, part of a Justice Depart-
ment appropriations bill, cre-
ated a barrier to releasing data,
one that has been almost in-
surmountable to researchers.
It stops the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explo-
sives from sharing information
about gun stores that have re-
cords of selling firearms that
wind up in crime scenes.
When a police department
finds a gun used in a crime, it
typically asks the ATF to trace
the weapon back to the origi-
nal sale, enabling law enforce-
ment to figure out who initially
bought the gun and who sold
it. When it was available to the
public, such aggregated data
provided a powerful way to
NRA will say they are trying to
steal every single one of your
guns, and people believe them,’’
he said. “Fortunately, the ma-
jority of the American people
see past this.’’
“The youth of America need
to step up and start voting,”
said Kasky, who also appeared
on CBS’s “Face the Nation” with
other students from Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High
School.
Delaney Tarr, another Park-
land student and speaker at the
march, argued that some of the
momentum for new gun laws
had been slowed when Presi-
dent Trump ‘‘ had a meeting
with the NRA’’ and ‘‘ backed
down’’ on some of what he had
proposed at a meeting with
members of Congress.
‘‘ To call it a coincidence
seems like a bit of a stretch be-
cause to say all of these incredi-
bly firm stances and then to im-
mediately backpedal on them
after having a meeting with the
NRA?’’ Tarr said. ‘‘Not a long
time period of difference there.
It reads sketchy to me.’’

“The inner cities face the vi-

are not in the inner cities. They
are out in the suburbs. They
are interested in making mon-

In Massachusetts, law en-
forcement agencies had rough-
ly 2,000 crime guns traced in
2016, according to the most re-
cent data from ATF. Most of
those weapons were purchased
out of state, with New Hamp-

counting for the largest supply
of such guns to the Bay State.

“We’re trying to figure out
how we can stem the flow,”
said Evans, who added that
many of the crime guns found
in Boston originated from
states with lax purchasing
laws.

“It’s critical information,”
said Lindsay Nichols, who is
the federal policy director at
the Giffords Law Center to Pre-
vent Gun Violence.
Before the Tiahrt restric-
tions applied, researchers used
the federal data to gain a so-
phisticated understanding of
how guns went from legitimate
seller to criminal. “We started
to see some really important
patterns,” said Daniel Webster,
a professor of health policy and
m a n a ge m e n t at t h e Jo h n s
Hopkins Bloomberg School of
Public Health.
Most important, Webster
and others found a huge dis-
parity in gun dealers: Roughly
1 percent of all gun stores in
the countr y accounted for
more than half of the crime
guns the ATF traced in the late
1990s, according to a Hopkins
report. And in some cities,
Webster found that just a few
stores were responsible for
selling weapons recovered in
70 percent to 90 percent of all
gun crimes.
Todd Tiahrt, who as a Re-
publican from Kansas was the
initial sponsor of the restric-
tion in a 2003 amendment,
said in an interview that the
main point of his legislation
was to prevent the public re-

concerns. The group fears that
high-volume stores would be-
come unfairly painted as bad
actors due to the simple fact
that any establishment selling
more guns is likely to have
more guns end up at crimes
scenes. Or, it points out, stores
located near major freeways
might also be used more fre-
quently by criminals going out
of state to purchase a weapon.
The gun rights advocates
say the ATF has plenty of au-
thority to shut down stores
that repeatedly sell to crimi-
nals. But experts counter that
the bureau has limited resourc-
es.
“Congress makes sure that
the ATF budget is insufficient
to do its job,” said Webster, the
Hopkins professor. “It makes
sure that the way it’s written
laws and regulations, [it is] in-
credibly difficult to shut down
a gun shop.”
Regardless of whether fed-
eral agents are willing to act,
Webster said communities
should be able to publicly pro-
test stores. He gave the exam-
ple of the Valley Gun Shop, an
infamous dealer in Baltimore
County that was shut down af-
ter a decade of supplying guns
to criminals.
“If I’m living in the shadows
of Valley Gun, and I know the
rates that those guns end up at
crime scenes, I’m boycotting
that store. I’m picketing it,”
Webster said. “Localities need
to know this information.
Community residents should
know it.”

try to stall, stall, stall until the
steam comes out of the kettle.
“The fact is, if we can keep
the pressure on, we’re not going
to change everything overnight,
but you can get significant
changes,’’ he said.
In another segment, Senator
Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virgin-
ia, said student energy around
gun reform could ‘‘turn the
tide’’ on the issue and had loos-
ened the NRA’s grip on Republi-
can legislators.
The NRA was not represent-
ed on any Sunday shows, but on
Saturday, it had described the
March for Our Lives rallies as
exploitative distractions from
the need for ‘‘school safety’’ —
something usually defined by
the NRA as arming guards and
teachers at schools.
‘‘ Today ’s protests aren’ t
spontaneous,’’ the NRA wrote
on Facebook. ‘‘The gun-hating
billionaires and Hollywood

ploiting children as part of their
plan to destroy the Second
Amendment and strip us of our

Texas
bomber
felt no
remorse
In tape, said he
was ‘psychopath’
By Ryan J. Foley
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — The sus-
pected Austin bomber called
himself a ‘‘psychopath’’ in a re-
corded confession and said he
felt no remorse for the explo-
sions that killed two people and
terrorized the city, a US repre-
sentative said Saturday.
Investigators are still look-
ing into what motivated 23-
year-old Mark Anthony Con-
ditt, but the recording he left
on his cellphone shows that he
was a ‘‘sick individual,’’ Repre-
sentative Michael McCaul said.
‘‘He did refer to himself as a
psychopath,” McCaul said. “He
did not show any remorse, in
fact questioning himself for
why he didn’t feel any remorse
for what he did.
Conditt makes no mention
of a racial motivation on the re-
cording, but investigators are
still looking into that as a possi-
bility, he said. The first three
victims were minorities.
McCaul, a former federal
prosecutor who chairs the
House Committee on Home-
land Security, spoke at a news
conference, where he thanked
law enforcement officials for
bringing the three-week spree
to an end.
He called the investigation,
which included more than 800
officers, a textbook example of
how local,
state, and
federal
agencies
should
work to-
gether.

d i ff e r e n t
parts of Austin, killing two peo-
ple and severely wounding four
others.
He began by placing explo-
sives in packages left overnight
on doorsteps, killing 39-year-
old Anthony Stephan House, a
father, and 17-year-old musi-
cian Draylen Mason and criti-
cally injuring 75-year-old Espe-
ranza Herrera.
He then rigged an explosive
to a tripwire along a public
trail, injuring two young men
who crossed it. Finally, he sent
two parcels with bombs via Fe-
dEx, one of which exploded and
injured a worker at a distribu-
tion center near San Antonio.
Conditt died after detonat-
ing an explosive device early
Wednesday as SWAT team offi-
cers ran toward his vehicle to
arrest him in an Austin suburb.
Investigators discovered a
roughly 25-minute recording
that Conditt had made on his
cellphone allegedly confessing
to the crimes.
Interim Austin police Chief
Brian Manley said the depart-
ment will continue withholding
the recording from the public
as investigators look into Con-
ditt’s motive and whether any-
one else was involved.
He noted that Conditt’s two
roommates have been ques-
tioned and said that several
more people will be inter -
viewed. Releasing the record-
ing now could jeopardize any
future prosecutions, although
no one else has been arrested or
charged, Manley said.
For days, Manley has been
under fire for calling Conditt ‘‘a
challenged young man’’ and
not a terrorist.
He struck a different note
Saturday, saying: ‘‘The suspect
in this incident reined terror on
our community for almost 3
weeks.’’
Austin’s mayor, Steve Adler,
said Herrera, who suffered bro-
ken legs and other severe inju-
ries in a March 12 blast, re-
mains hospitalized in critical
but stable condition.
The identification of Conditt
as the bomber continued to baf-
fle residents in Pflugerville, the
Austin suburb where Conditt
had been home-schooled and
grew up in a Christian family.

Daniels says threats kept

her silent on Trump affair
uDANIELS
Continued from Page A1
reported on the $130,000 pay-
ment, Daniels signed what she
now describes as a false state-
ment denying the affair.
On ‘‘60 Minutes,’’ she said
she signed the statement under
pressure from her former law-
yer and business manager.
‘‘They made it sound like I
had no choice,’’ she said.
While there was no threat of
physical violence at the time,
she said, she was worried about
other repercussions. ‘‘The exact
sentence used was, ‘They can
make your life hell in many dif-
ferent ways,’ ’’ Daniels said.
‘‘They being . . . ?’’ Cooper
asked.
‘‘I’m not exactly sure who
they were. I believe it to be Mi-
chael Cohen,’’ Daniels replied.
Neither Cohen nor his law-
yer could be reached immedi-
ately for comment. He told Po-
litico earlier this month that he
free of a confidentiality agree-
ment struck in the months be-
fore the 2016 election, for
which she was paid $150,000.
She said she signed her contract
with the parent company of the
National Enquirer, which is
helmed by a friend of Trump’s,
and which bought her story not
to publish it but to bury it.
Both women say their rela-
tionships with Trump began in
2006 and ended in 2007 and
that they were paid for their si-
lence in the months before the
2016 presidential election.
Representatives of Trump
have dismissed the allegations
of McDougal and Daniels, say-
ing that the affairs never hap-
pened and that Trump had no
knowledge of any payments.
The interviews come after a
judge last week let a defama-
tion suit filed by former ‘‘Ap-
prentice’’ contestant Summer
Zervos move forward. Zervos
alleges Trump groped her.
don’t even — we have separate
rooms and stuff.’ ’’
Daniels said that Trump had
invited her to his hotel suite for
dinner and that their banter be-
gan with him talking alot about
himself and showing her a mag-
azine cover featuring his photo-
graph. “I was like, ‘Someone
should take that magazine and
spank you with it,”’ she said.
“So he turned around and
pulled his pants down a little —
you know, had underwear on
and stuff, and I just gave him a
couple swats.” It was done in a
joking manner, she said.

gether, and he told her that he
wanted to get her onto the ‘‘Ap-
prentice,’’ his reality TV show.
Then Daniels went to the bath-
room, and when she returned,
he was sitting on the bed.
‘‘I realized exactly what I’d
gotten myself into. And I was
like, ‘Ugh, here we go,’ ’’ Daniels
told ‘‘60 Minutes.’’ She said she

any way and I am unaware of
anyone else doing so.’’ Before
the broadcast, Michael Avenat-
ti, Daniels’s attorney, said re-
peatedly that his client would
talk about threats she received.
Daniels’s former business
manager did not comment. Her
former attorney, Keith David-
son, said he cannot speak pub-
licly until Daniels waives attor-
ney-client privilege, but he does
not believe her assertions on
‘‘60 Minutes’’ ‘‘represent a fair
and accurate description of the
situation.’’ The White House did
not respond to a request for
comment Sunday.
Asked by Cooper why she
took the legally risky route of
speaking out, she said, “I was
perfectly fine saying nothing at
all, but I’m not OK with being
made out to be a liar.”
The ‘‘60 Minutes’’ broadcast
comes 72 hours after former
Playboy centerfold Karen Mc-
Dougal spoke to CNN about her
own alleged affair with Trump.
McDougal has sued to break
1,000 miles apart as Daniels
told her story: Shortly before
the interview aired on Sunday,
Trump flew back to Washington
from a weekend trip to Mar-a-
Lago. First lady Melania Trump
remained in Florida, where she
usually spends spring break, ac-
cording to a spokeswoman.
Trump complained to asso-
ciates at Mar-a-Lago over the
weekend about the attention
that the media has given Dan-
iels, according to people famil-
iar with the conversations, who
spoke on the condition of ano-
nymity to be candid.
On ‘‘60 Minutes,’’ Daniels de-
scribed meeting Trump at his
Lake Tahoe hotel room in 2006,
during a celebrity golf tourna-
ment weekend. When she

had gotten herself into a ‘‘bad
situation.’’ She said she didn’t
want to have sex with Trump
but considered it consensual.
Trump called her frequently
over the next year, and she saw
him a few times but they never
again had sex, she said. In July
2007, about a year after they
met, he asked her to meet him

in shifts for Troop F, collecting
another $6.4 million.
In the entire department, at
least 299 troopers — about 14
percent — made more than
$200,000 last year. Fifty-four of
them were assigned to Troop F,
a division that’s highly sought
after by the department’s 2,150
troopers.
State officials acknowledged
the number of highly paid
troopers is even greater than
detailed in this story. With
some troopers appearing on
two payroll lists, the number is
impossible to tally due to in-
complete data that officials pro-
vided to the Globe.
Troop F is paid by the Mas-
sachusetts Port Authority, an
independent public agency that
owns and operates Logan, Sea-
port properties, and two other
airports outside Boston. But the
troopers are State Police em-
ployees, and the troop’s opera-
tions are overseen by State Po-
lice commanders.
When the Globe raised ques-
tions last week, the State Police
and Massport had not filed
Troop F payroll records with
the state comptroller’s office
since 2010. The comptroller
oversees and publishes state fi-
nance data.
“We were unaware that the
data was missing until you
brought it to our attention,”
Comptroller Thomas Shack
said in an e-mail.
Shack said both agencies
should be transparent with the
trooper payroll.
“Even if they are assigned to
Massport, they are still ‘state’
troopers,” he said in an e-mail.
“We will work with the State
Police and Massport to get that
data in the system as soon as we
can.”
For several years, the State
Police have publicly released
payroll statistics without Troop
F. T h e a g e n c y r e p e a t e d l y
claimed that the pay for all of its
employees was listed on the
comptroller’s website.
In addition, the State Police
have repeatedly refused to re-
lease troop assignments.
Secretary of State William
Galvin’s office, which handles
public-records appeals, ordered
the State Police to provide the
troop locations of its workers in
January, but the State Police re-
fused to comply and have asked
Galvin to reconsider.
Massport for years had re-
leased pay data for all person-
nel, save for Troop F, and said
that all of its payroll was avail-
able through the comptroller.
The agency released the Troop
F pay to the Globe late last
week.
Massport spokeswoman
Jennifer Mehigan said officials
there did not file records with
the comptroller’s office previ-
ously because they considered
work done by Troop F employ-
ees to be akin to services pro-
vided by a vendor. She said
Massport is working to provide
records dating back to 2010 to
the comptroller.
Mehigan noted that nearly
all of the agency’s operational
costs are paid with money it
generates from its various prop-
erties, including fees from air-
lines and people parking in lots
it owns.
State Police spokesman Da-
vid Procopio referred questions
to Massport.
Elizabeth Guyton, spokes-
woman for Governor Baker,
said he “believes Massport

retired, and one was kept on

Another trooper, prior to
Tuesday’s announcement, was
already suspended without pay

other matter.

Beacon Hill should pass criminal justice reform

T
he state Legislature has taken up an impres-
sive package of criminal justice reforms that
will give thousands of offenders a chance to
put their lives back together, even as it pre-
serves public safety. Lawmakers should move
swiftly to approve the legislation, and Governor Charlie
Baker, who has been hesitant to embrace reform, should
sign it.
Defenders of the status quo are quick to point out that
Massachusetts has one of the lowest incarceration rates
in the country. But that rate has increased substantially
since the 1970s. And the state looks draconian in an in-
ternational context.
Massachusetts jails more people per capita than Bra-
zil, Mexico, Iran, and nearly every other country on the
planet. Our system is deeply flawed, and the package be-
fore the Legislature — a compromise between House and
Senate negotiators — would make a series of smart, end-
to-end fixes.
At the front end, for instance, it would create a court-
date notification system — patterned after the alerts sent
out by dentists and doctors — so defendants don’t wind
up in a spiral of accumulating penalties for failure to
show up. It would also give judges wider latitude to di-
vert people who have committed lesser crimes away from
the criminal justice system and into substance-abuse
treatment or job training.
Sometimes, that’s the better approach — not just for
the accused, but for the rest of us. A prison stay can turn
a youthful offender into a hardened criminal, putting
public safety at risk in the long term and imposing un-
wanted social and financial costs.
Of course, not everyone will be diverted. Many will
plead guilty to a crime, or be tried and convicted, and
that’s where sentencing reform comes in. Advocates have
focused on repealing mandatory minimum sentences for
drug crimes. And ideally, lawmakers would get rid of
them all; judges should be able to tailor punishments to
the circumstances of each case. The package before the
state Legislature falls short of a complete repeal. But it
does drop mandatory minimums for some lower-level
drug dealers, many of them addicts themselves. That’s a
good start.
Behind bars, one of our correction system’s biggest
problems is an overreliance on solitary confinement,
which can inflict serious psychological harm and make it
difficult for inmates to reintegrate with the prison’s gen-
eral population and, eventually, the outside world. The
legislation would give prisoners in solitary greater access
to services, and provide for periodic reviews of their cas-
es, offering them more opportunities to get back to a
standard cell. Our northerly neighbor, Maine, has man-
aged to sharply reduce its solitary confinement popula-
tion. It’s time for Massachusetts to catch up.
The package would make some wise reforms on the
back end of the process, too, eliminating parole and pro-
bation fees for recently released prisoners trying to get
back on their feet, for instance.
If the legislation has a significant flaw, it’s that it isn’t
bold enough. A Senate-backed measure to raise the age
of the juvenile justice system by one year and include 18-
year-olds did not survive negotiations with the House.
That’s a shame. A raft of neuroscience research shows
that the brain is still developing into the mid-20s, and
young adults would be better served in a juvenile system
that’s geared more toward rehabilitation than punish-
ment. Lawmakers say expanding the juvenile system
would be too much of a bureaucratic challenge. But that’s
a weak excuse. The state added 17-year-olds to the sys-
tem a few years ago without major problems.
This week, several key Massachusetts lawmakers and
correction officials are visiting Germany, where 18-, 19-,
and 20-year-olds are included in the juvenile justice sys-
tem and authorities work to provide developmentally ap-
propriate services for this age cohort. Hopefully, the offi-
cials will return bent on further reform. But for now, the
changes before the Legislature would make for a power-
ful beginning.

Banning assault
weapons is effective . . .

M
B y G e o r g e J. M i t c h e l l
ass shootings have become an epidemic.
There’s no other way to describe the car-
nage we regularly face. But where past
tragedies have slipped out of the news
and no action has been taken, this time
we’re seeing leadership and persistence
by the brave high school students who
survived the shooting in Parkland, Fla.
These young men and women have bold-
ly assumed the mantle of moral leadership. Just days after burying their
friends and teachers, they are demanding that lawmakers, at the state and
national levels, take action to reduce the likelihood of another mass shoot-
ing.
Fortunately, at least one approach has had real results: a federal ban on
military-style assault weapons. This strategy worked in the past, when
Senator Dianne Feinstein of California championed and gained enact-
ment of a ban in 1994.
Unfortunately, opponents in and out of the Congress are speaking out
against a ban. They advance three arguments: The ban didn’t work; it’s
too complicated to put into legislation; and it prevents law-abiding citi-
zens from buying guns.
They’re wrong on all counts: The ban was effective and, if enacted, will
be again; in the realm of public safety, Congress regularly acts on complex
matters; and no one has an absolute right to buy any and all guns.
In evaluating an assault weapons ban, it’s important to keep in mind
that the goal was and is to decrease the frequency and deadliness of mass
shootings; neither a ban nor any other single action will end such shoot-
ings altogether.
Given the intensity of emotion on the issue, it’s not surprising that both
sides point to studies that support their position. But one analysis, by Lou-
is Klarevas, a professor at the University of Massachusetts, is persuasive.
He found that mass shootings fell by 37 percent during the ban and then
increased by 183 percent after it lapsed. Also, gun deaths from mass
shootings fell by 43 percent during the ban, and then increased by 239
percent afterward.
The 10 deadliest mass shootings in our country’s history all occurred
either before or after the ban was in effect. And today, as weapons become
more sophisticated and deadly, casualties have increased.
The second argument is that the circumstances are too complicated to
permit the writing of an effective ban; how, opponents ask, will Congress
decide which weapons to ban? However, in limiting the emission of toxic
chemicals, in evaluating the benefits and dangers of prescription drugs, in
making airplanes and automobiles safer, in trying to prevent another fi-
nancial crisis, Congress has dealt with complexities more daunting than
the classification of assault weapons.
The third argument is that an assault weapons ban will prevent law-
abiding citizens from buying some guns. But that already is the law with
respect to a wide range of military-style weapons, including fully automat-
ic machine guns. The central question is whether an AR-15 is closer on
the spectrum of weapons to a machine gun or to a hunting rifle. The an-
swer is obvious.
In renewing the ban, in addition to expert knowledge and advice about Common sense
weapons, what’s also needed in common sense. Common sense tells us
that there are significant differences between an AR-15 and a hunting ri-

The assault weapons ban reflects these principles in a straightforward between an AR­
and common-sense way, by identifying the characteristics that distinguish
assault weapons from other firearms. I do not suggest that it is simple. I 15 and a hunting

March 18): How ironic that when Hillary Clinton speaks an
uncomfortable truth, she is vilified, while our 45th presi-
dent lies away every day. Jeff Jacoby describes how Clinton
remarked that some women voters are swayed by how the

T
his week, I will travel to the Asia Pacific region to meet
with our allies Japan and South Korea, and to talk
with Chinese government officials in Beijing. Our en-
gagement in Asia is essential to US security and eco-
nomic interests, but today the region faces significant
threats.
On the Korean Peninsula, a nuclear-armed North Korea threat-
ens the security of the United States, our allies, the region, and the
world. I agree with our senior military officials that there is no
military-only solution to the situation on the Korean Peninsula,
and I was glad to see President Trump embrace diplomacy earlier
this month.
As we go into talks with North Korea, though, it is critical that
we are clear-eyed about the challenges. Three generations of North
Korean dictators have sought a face-to-
face meeting with a sitting US presi-
dent. For Kim Jong Un, such a meeting For too long, policy makers in

is willing to halt his nuclear expansion
even as he snatches the trophy of a pic-
ture with an American president.
Effective, lasting diplomacy requires more than showmanship.
Diplomatic breakthroughs don’t happen overnight; instead, they
are the result of time-consuming, painstaking negotiations con-
ducted by experienced diplomats, in close consultation with our
allies. If it occurs, a summit will be only the beginning, not the cul-
mination, of talks to freeze and ultimately denuclearize North Ko-
rea.
It is also critical that we negotiate from a position of maximum
strength. While our diplomats are talented and hard-working, we
currently lack an ambassador to South Korea, our envoy to North
Korea recently retired, and many posts in the diplomatic corps are
vacant. To achieve our national goals, we need a State Department
operating at full capacity.
China presents another challenge — and opportunity — for us
in the region. The United States and China have many shared in-
terests and many areas where we cooperate, including on critical
security issues like counter-proliferation and pandemic preven-
tion. In other areas, however, China’s actions are far more aggres-
sive.
While our two economies are deeply intertwined and many
Massachusetts businesses have significant equities in the Chinese
market, China often pursues policies that cut out American busi-
nesses. It has taken advantage of many American companies seek-
ing to do business there, limiting access to its market and aggres-
sively targeting American intellectual property. By some estimates,
unfair Chinese policies have cost millions of hard-working Ameri-
RENÉE LOTH
cans their jobs here at home.
Recent setbacks in China’s approach to the rule of law, peaceful
expression, and human rights also trigger alarm bells. And in
some cases, including in the South China Sea, China’s actions do
not appear to match its words, leading to serious questions about
their strategic intentions in the region.
For many years, the United States hoped China would be trans-
formed by engagement with the international community and
that, over time, the country would embrace economic and political
openness. But by now it should be clear that this strategy has
failed. I favor engagement, and I believe in a relationship of mutu-
al respect — but we must also be candid and transparent about
our disagreements and concerns.
For too long, policy makers in Washington have treated foreign
and domestic policy as independent of
each other, but these boundaries are
increasingly fluid. This reality requires
us to look beyond our borders, even as
we prioritize the safety and prosperity
of our own people. It also requires us
to reconsider what is truly in our na-
tional interest and to pursue policies
that work for all Americans, not just
giant corporations.
Even as we modernize our own military, we must set the condi-
tions to stay competitive here at home by investing in science and
technology, education, infrastructure, and other engines of eco-
nomic and national security — and by asking those American com-
panies who enjoy these benefits of America to pay their fair share
to keep us strong. It means we take care of our returning service
members with bipartisan work like the law Republican John
Cornyn and I passed to make it easier for experienced, active mili-
tary to get better paying jobs when they transition to civilian life. It
means that as we pursue economic growth, we need to stand up
for American workers, consumers, manufacturers, and small busi-
nesses. It means we should run a trade policy — including tariffs
where necessary — that works for American workers, not just for
multinational corporations. But it also means we must recognize
that trade should serve our larger foreign policy goals, not the oth-
er way around.
As I visit Japan, South Korea, and China this week, I recognize
that our alliances around the world are one of America’s unique
strengths. Now more than ever, we must stand with our allies and
partners to uphold our shared interests. To do so, we need a for-
eign policy that leverages all our national power, not just our mili-
tary might. I look forward to meeting and working with my coun-
terparts to ensure that Asia remains a part of the world where ev-
ery nation can prosper.

She has only her divisive self
to blame for 2016 loss
Hillary Clinton has reached a new low as an ambassador of
self-pity, hate, and divisiveness, as she goes around the
world telling people how deplorable Donald Trump’s voters
are (“Clinton tumbles down the ‘marriage gap’ ”). She won’t
admit that she was such an unappealing candidate, many
of the voters who had supported Barack Obama decided
she was an unacceptable option for their next commander
in chief; or that her loss was the result of her politically cor-
rect antiwhite, antimale, and anti-American rhetoric; or
that when you demonize the people you disagree with,
paint them as racists and oppressors, and tell them that
their successes are the result of some unearned “privilege,”
you create a counterrevolution.
The election was the consequence of Clinton’s actions
and the identity politics she brought into American politics.
Trump didn’t turn liberals into conservatives or Democrats
into Republicans; Clinton did. For her to suggest that wom-
en or minorities did not vote for her because of anything
other than her own actions and the hatred and divisiveness
that she brings to American politics, and to do it on a world
stage, is an embarrassment to her and to our entire nation.

In game of Trump­Mueller what­if, all
questions point to 2018 for an answer
I predict that Donald Trump will not fire Robert Mueller;
nor will he ask the Department of Justice to terminate the
investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 election. His pri-
mary motive always has been to attack governmental insti-
tutions and the media, thus undermining the eventual find-
ings of the Mueller investigation. This, I suggest, will allow
Trump, contrary to his current claim that he “would like to”
testify, eventually to declare that he refuses to testify be-
cause the entire matter is both a sham and politically moti-
vated. No doubt he will continue to reference the conclu-
sion of the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Com-
mittee, that there is no evidence of collusion between
Trump’s campaign and the Russians. Trump may also say
that, while he would like to be interviewed by Mueller, his
legal team advised him not to.
So, at the end of the day, there will be a legal battle that
is resolved by the Supreme Court. Given the current com-
position of the court, there is no guarantee that Trump

Holding back the tide would be forced to testify. It is also possible that the presi-
dent will take the Fifth, refusing to answer questions. The
issue in this scenario is: What would happen then?
It is even clearer now that the 2018 elections will matter,
perhaps providing the only effective check on Trump.

L
ook closely at the brick side-
walk on a stretch of Congress
Street along the Fort Point
Channel, and you will see carv-
ings of what look like little sails.
They aren’t just decorative, though: They
mark removable bricks that reveal bolts in-
to which a storm barrier called the
AquaFence can be anchored. Twice during
our punishing nor’easters this winter, the
owners of Atlantic Wharf (where I have an
office) erected the AquaFence to prevent
storm-driven floodwaters from pouring in-
to the lobby and underground garage. It
was a lot more effective than the sandbags
workers wedged against the entrance to
the Aquarium T station nearby, but it costs
hundred of thousands of dollars.
Boston Properties willingly invested the
money when it developed Atlantic Wharf,
as part of a suite of climate-resilience mea-
sures that have earned the company “green
star” ratings and environmental awards.
But Boston Properties didn’t get a tax
abatement for installing the AquaFence.
Why, then, should Amazon be granted a $5
million tax break from the city of Boston
for agreeing to occupy a new building in
the Seaport Square development further
down Congress Street, in part to offset the
cost of climate resiliency measures that
will be needed for the building? And what
about smaller property owners or those
with existing buildings that require retro-
fitting against Boston’s implacably rising
seas? Where do they get their tax break?
The ad hoc system of private deals and
negotiations that defines Boston’s develop-
ment process is particularly unsuited to
addressing the threats of climate change.
“This is not an issue you can address one
building at a time or one neighborhood at
a time,” said Mike Davis, president of the
architecture firm Bergmeyer and a nation-
al advocate for sustainable building prac-
tices. Even the AquaFence just pushes
floodwaters down the street to become
someone else’s problem.
Governor Charlie Baker earlier this
month proposed a $1.4 billion bond bill to

help communities plan for and mitigate
the effects of climate change. But in typical
fashion for a state that worships home
rule, the bill emphasizes local autonomy
when a regional plan is what’s required.
Floodwaters don’t respect municipal
boundaries.
Boston also has thought hard about ex-
treme weather events, with “climate-
ready” plans for the whole city as well as
specific neighborhoods. The first tangible
proposals include installing a seven-foot
high portable floodgate in East Boston and
raising Main Street in Charlestown by an
average of two feet. But the city offers only
guidelines to developers for sustainable
building practices, not binding require-
ments. That’s especially glaring in the Sea-
port District. Advocates have criticized the
still evolving Seaport Square development
— massive, at 7 million square feet — for
its abundance of nonpermeable hardscape
that will likely increase drainage and flood-
ing troubles.
Residents and visitors alike have be-
moaned the blandness of the Seaport — its

wide roadways and generic, boxy struc-
tures — and Seaport Square may be the last
best chance to make amends. That ex-
plains why the developers have been under
pressure to squeeze in everything from civ-
ic and cultural spaces to more parks to a
public library. The Seaport District will
never be more than a transient playground
of extravagant condos and high-end retail
unless developers can find a way to greatly
enhance the public realm. But, at a mini-
mum, they shouldn’t be making climate
impacts worse.
After decades of neglect, builders have
turned the South Boston waterfront into
the city’s hottest property. It’s now the sin-
gle most expensive neighborhood to live in,
beating out the Back Bay. All of that is in
jeopardy. The city — indeed, the region —
needs a comprehensive action plan that
clearly lays out the rules and responsibili-
ties for everyone. Otherwise, we’re back to
sandbags.

during their affair (“Porn star’s savvy has president playing

Although adultery is not an impeachable offense, the

W. Va. teachers’ win only underscores
how profession is undervalued
I love being a teacher. There’s no calling more noble. So it
pains me to say that, while the recent West Virginia teach-
er’s strike proudly reinforced the righteous cause of the
teacher, it also sadly confirmed teaching as a degraded pro-
fession. One of our great shames as a country continues to
be the way we undervalue our nation’s teaching corps. Ac-
cording to the National Education Association, the average
salary of US public school teachers for 2015-16 was
$58,353, with West Virginia among the worst offenders,
lowballing teachers at $45,622. That much-vaunted 5 per-
cent raise? According to my calculations, the raise amounts
to about $130 a month in take-home pay. That teachers
were forced to claw and scrape for what amounts to a pit-
tance is an insult.

schedules with today’s sched-
ules, and notice that it takes
buses — and cars driving on
the same roads — a lot longer
to cover the same number of
miles than it did a decade ago.
“We had to revise the sched-
ule to reflect reality,” said Colin
Johnson, a vice president with
DATTCO, which runs a com-
muter bus from Fairhaven to
Copley Square.
Ten years ago, DATTCO’s
6:50 a.m. bus from Fairhaven
hit Back Bay around 8:20, a 90-
minute ride. Today’s commut-
ers are on that bus for 130 min-
utes and don’t get to Copley
until 9 a.m.
Numerous studies show that commuters are spending more time stuck in traffic than ever. One found the average
Boston-area driver spending 60 hours stuck in traffic in 2017 — two more hours than in 2016. The smallest
inconvenience — rain, an accident on a feeder road — can cause a tie-up. Above, I-93 north in Boston.
It’s a similar stor y from
Southern New Hampshire. In
2008, the 7:30 a.m. Boston Ex-
press bus from North Lon-
donderry, N.H., to South Sta-
tion arrived at 8:35, a 65-min-
ute trip. Today the express gets
in at 9:10, 100 minutes after
departing.
The MBTA has also changed
its schedules, a reflection of the
growing traffic and unpredict-
ability of that traffic, according
to the agency. In 2017, the
morning express routes from
Brighton and Watertown and
Waltham took an average of 39
percent longer than they did in
2007.
W i t h r u s h - h o u r t r a ff i c

about the impacts on their
lives and jobs, and the dreaded

which a small delay in depar-
ture time can cost dearly in ex-
tra time on the road.
“If you leave five minutes
late, it could take you 20 min-
utes longer to get to work,” said
Mayer, the nurse. “Every once
in a while, I’ll forget that I need
to stop and get gas, and I’ ll
think, ‘Oh my God, I’ll never
get there on time.’ ”
Just as we’re experiencing
more extreme weather events
these days, anecdotal evidence
shows that the increased vol-

ume of cars on the roads is
leading to more extreme traffic
events.
The smallest thing — rain,
construction, a game at Fen-
way, an accident on a feeder
road — can cause a tie-up.
That makes people afraid to
go to work in bad weather, for
fear they’ll never get home in
time to meet family obliga-
tions.

one of the recent nor’easters

driving, she said. “They say it’s
a timesaver. They are multi-
tasking.”
As the drives get longer, liv-
ing in or close to Boston is be-
coming farther out of reach fi-
nancially for average workers.
An analysis of single-family
home sales found that prices
are rising much faster in or
near the city compared with
prices in far-flung towns, ac-
cording to Timothy Warren Jr.,
chief executive of the Warren
Group.
He looked at the prices of
single-family homes in 285
Massachusetts communities
and found that in only 10 have
prices surpassed what they
were in 2005 — a peak in the
market — by 50 percent or
more. Nine of those 10 com-
munities were in or near Bos-
ton.
“Some of those communi-
ties were previously considered
blue-collar and affordable, in-
cluding South Boston, Jamaica
Plain, Somerville, and Charles-
town,” Warren said in an e-
mail.
“Others in the top ten (Cam-
bridge, Brookline, Newton,
and Lexington) have always
been high-priced, but have be-
come dramatically more so in
recent years,’’ Warren said.
This pricey housing means
many people are forced to live
far from work, a situation

Michelle Collins and her fi-
ance settled in Saugus after not
being able to afford anything
closer to their jobs. She works
as a lab technician in Newton.
He’s a warehouse manager in
Natick. That means an hour’s
commute each way for her and
sometimes a two-hour trip for
him.
“No matter what time you
leave you can hit these weird
pockets of traffic,” she said.
If Collins doesn’t build in a
cushion, she might arrive late
and, she said, have minutes de-
ducted from her pool of vaca-
tion, personal, and sick time.
“I’d rather spend the time
on vacation than sitting on
Route 128 southbound,” she
said.

Overreach,
not extortion
Well, that was two
years of nothing.
I refer, of course, to
the long-awaited City
Hall corruption trial
that will not be start-
ing today in US Dis-
trict Court. All charg-
es against city officials
Ken Brissette and Tim Sullivan have been
dismissed, and the mayor has said they
will be returning to work imminently.
Brissette and Sullivan were indicted for
extortion two years ago, for allegedly lean-
ing on the promoters of the Boston Calling
music festival to hire union labor. For a
time, the case appeared to be part of a
broader investigation into union activity,
though the bigger case never materialized.
It all fell apart last week when it be-
came clear that the federal government
could not meet the burden of proof set by
US District Judge Leo T. Sorokin. Specifi-
cally, he was going to instruct the jury that
the defendants had to receive something
of value to be guilty of violating the Hobbs
Act, and neither Sullivan or Brissette ever
got anything for themselves. In plain Eng-
lish, the judge rejected the government’s
interpretation of the relevant law as overly
broad.
The supporters of Sullivan and Brissette
— and there are many in city government
— understandably view this as vindication.
They see it as proof that even if some lines
were crossed, nothing happened that re-
motely justified federal prosecution.
It’s probably safe to count Mayor Mar-
tin J. Walsh among the relieved, as well.
Though never implicated in the case, he
couldn’t have been looking forward to a
trial of two subordinates. After all, whatev-
er they did was on his behalf, even though
there has never been any hint that they
were acting on his orders.
I’ve long had mixed feelings about the
case. On one hand, I don’t believe it is ap-
propriate for city officials to push a vendor
to hire specific workers, or members of a
particular union. On the other hand — and
I speak as a layperson here, not a lawyer —
the notion that their acts constituted ex-
tortion always seemed like a stretch to me.
The question I kept coming back to —
the unanswered question — was: What did
they get? In other words, can you commit
extortion without benefiting personally?
The ultimate answer, at least in this case,
seems to be no.
The unraveling of this case fits into a
broader pattern. Last September, two
Teamsters, Joseph Burhoe and John Perry,
won a ruling in federal court that they
could not be charged with extortion for
threatening to picket businesses that did
not hire union workers, in a ruling that di-
rectly undermined the rationale for this
case.
This case is reminiscent too, of the
prosecution of former Probation chief
John O’Brien, whose conviction was over-
turned partly on grounds that the law had
been applied too broadly — again, against
a defendant who never benefited personal-
ly.
The US attorney’s office intends to ap-
peal, in an effort to continue to try Sullivan
and Brissette. One can only hope the pros-
ecutors come to their senses and walk
away. The tremendous power of the feder-
al government — the power to greatly
damage the lives of people, even if they are
ultimately exonerated — must be used far
more judiciously than it was in this case.
The abuse of power needs to end immedi-
ately.
The real link between this failed prose-
cution and the O’Brien case is the attempt
by the US attorney’s office to criminalize
political conduct it finds offensive. I don’t
think Jack O’Brien ran much of a Proba-
tion Department, and I don’t think City
Hall should try to manage who puts up the
stage at a music festival. But none of it was
illegal.
This case began as a supposed example
of excessive influence-peddling inside City
Hall. But it will be remembered instead as
an example of federal overreach. Two de-
fendants have paid a painful price for that
excess.

just for a few seconds.
Starting Monday, a series of very short, documenta-
ry-style videos created by local teens will begin appearing on some of the
high-definition digital screens displayed at MBTA stations and stops
throughout the system.
The three videos, which range from animation to a time-lapse love letter
to the city of Boston, were created by students from Boston and Revere,
with help from staff at the ICA’s Teen Arts Program.
In one video, called “Shades of the City,” stop-motion animation tells
“the story of a woman of color who falls asleep on the train and dreams
about painting the city of Boston in her likeness,” according to a descrip-
tion. It was created by Mithsuca Berry.
“Fraternal Eclipse,” shows how MBTA riders’ lives col-
lide because of a simple act of kindness.
The third video, “A Walk in the Park,” by Gabe S., is
a snapshot of Boston’s busy streets.
Evan Rowe, the MBTA’s director of revenue, said the
idea to display the work by students came together
over the course of the past few months. He said transit
officials met with the ICA team in November to talk
about ways they could incorporate the students’ work
into the T’s new digital advertising screens that riders walk by daily.
To Rowe’s knowledge, he said, this type of collaboration marks a first of
its kind for the MBTA.
“Teens are leading the way in our country on many issues, so in this
present moment, it feels especially appropriate for them to be the trailblaz-
ers for a new arts initiative in our public space,” Rowe said in a statement.
“We hope T riders enjoy the results as much as we do.”

days after it was taken to
Fairhaven for maintenance fol-
lowing multiple problems.
Last Saturday, the ship’s oil
transfer pump malfunctioned,
causing it to lose power and
stranding more than 80 people
onboard. It returned to service
Monday, but was taken out
again on Wednesday after a
separate generator issue. The
ship underwent a five-month,
$18 million refurbishment be-
fore returning to service May 7.
The authority said its engi-
neers determined that parts of
the ship’s generator needed to
be replaced. It planned to finish
repairs and ready the vessel for
a Coast Guard inspection Mon-
day. The Martha’s Vineyard fer-
ry should return to regular ser-
vice on Tuesday, the authority
said. Both ships typically ser-
vice the route between Vine-

Sunday to ask if he had seen
any commotion across the

Quincy house fire kills woman, 54, and her dog

GLOBE CORRESPONDENT
A 54-year-old woman and
her dog died after a two-alarm
fire swept through her Quincy
home early Sunday morning.
Neighbors said they heard the
sound of glass shattering at 292
Harvard St. just after midnight
before they saw the flames
surging through the building.
Two occupants on the sec-
ond floor of the two-family
house heard the house’s fire
alarms and got out. Fire offi-
cials rescued the 54-year-old
woman who lived on the first
floor, performing cardiopulmo-
nary resuscitation in an effort
to keep her alive, but she died
later, said Paul Griffith, deputy

“The cost estimate we pro-

“Anything’s possible,” he
said matter-of-factly.
Police shut down Columbia

Dorchester, to through traffic
while they responded to the
scene early Sunday, said Handy.
The crime scene tape was

and was known to send

A few doors down from

Rosa, a father of three who
works as a ride-hailing service
driver, said the street is typical-
ly quiet. He couldn’t recall a sin-
gle stabbing or shooting on his
block, he said. Rosa worked
overnight, and when he came
the house as soon as he heard
about the fire. By the time he
and his wife arrived, the fire
was out, he said, but firefight-
ers were still at the scene. The
house was Guinan’s childhood
home, where he was born and
raised. His mother, who recent-
ly died, lived in it until a couple
of years ago.
Guinan and his wife were in
a state of disbelief, grief, and
shock Sunday afternoon. They
were devastated as they walked
through the wreckage and pre-
pared to board up a place that
contained so many memories.
The victim lived in the first-
floor apartment for years and
was an excellent tenant, he
said. He said it’s unclear what
started the fire, but he believes
it began in the front corner
which is charged with helping
oversee the state public records
law.
For example, the Board of
Registration in Medicine re-
quested $16,800 for a copy of
its public database of physi-
cians. Secretary of State Wil-
liam F. Galvin’s office later or-
dered the office to reduce the
estimate, but the board re-
fused. Galvin referred the mat-
ter in November to Attorney
General Maura Healey, whose
office is reviewing the case.

home Sunday morning, hours
after police responded to the
stabbing, he said he didn’t no-
tice anything amiss.
“It happens everywhere . . .
but this street?” he asked Sun-
day afternoon. “I don’ t see
gangs or anything like that on
this street.”
Nestor Munoz, who lives in
the neighborhood, was less in-
credulous. Like Rosa, he was
away from the neighborhood
when the stabbing occurred,
working a double shift at his job
at Beth Israel Deaconess Medi-
cal Center. He hadn’t hear of
the violence until Sunday after-
noon.
“I’m not surprised,” he said
on his porch amid a snow flur-
ry.
The three-story powder blue
apartment building at 7 Cush-

the stabbing happened, is locat-
ed next to a back entrance to
the historic Strand Theatre.

“In reviewing the old foot-
age it was hard not to get emo-
tional looking at my father as a
m a n i n h i s e a r l y 4 0 s ,’ ’ t h e
younger Quill, an Emerson Col-
lege graduate student and di-
rector of an eponymous film
company, told me. “I think:
Gee, I’m a decade away from
how old he was in those videos.
It gives me the courage to take
on projects that most people
might think are crazy.’’
After his father was hospi-
talized with congestive heart
failure late last year, spending
three weeks at Beverly Hospital
over the holidays, Mike Quill
discovered that one of his most
compelling characters had long
been right there before his
eyes.
“We weren’t sure he was go-
ing to make it,’’ said the 32-
year-old filmmaker. “I’m think-
ing: I’ve got to make this film
about my dad before it’s too
late.’’
To spend an afternoon with
Bill Quill is to retrace the steps
of the kid who, as a 10-year-
old, would break into the base-
ment of the old mansion on
High Street, childhood mis-
chief that nevertheless intro-
duced him to the big rambling
place.
As a student at the local vo-
cational school, it was easy for
Bill Quill to see his life unspool-
ing as that of a machinist, a job
he held for a year, getting a
taste of what that blue-collar
world might mean. Here’s what
he envisioned: Incremental ad-
vancement. Soulless work. Re-
lentless drudgery.
“What kind of a life is that?’’
he asked. “I can’t stand it. I
freaked out and quit. Hung out
for a while, bumming around
town.’’
As he approached his life’s
seminal intersection, he
thought: What about college?
“I applied to a variety of col-
leges,’’ he recalled. “Got into
none of them.’’
And then he saw a man
sweeping the stairs at a build-
ing at Fitchburg State College.
It was the summer of 1959.
“He said, ‘Hell, kid, there’s
no one around here now.’ And
then I said, ‘I’ve got to get in
here some way.’ And he said,
‘Well, I heard some voices out
there in the industrial arts ar-
ea.’ I went and knocked on the
door and finally someone
opened the door and they said,
‘What are you doing here?’ I
said, ‘I want to get into col-
lege.’ ’’
And he did, spending four
years in Fitchburg, collecting
his degree in 1963.
It was the first step on a 50-
year journey through academia
that would wind its way, in
1963, to the University of Mas-
sachusetts Amherst, where
Quill collected his master’s and
doctorate in psychology and
philosophy, academic disci-
plines that at once captivated
the young man who grew up in
a home without books.
When he began his long ten-
ure at Northeastern, it was a
place of 50,000 students led by
a president, Asa Knowles, who
once took pity on his young
new teacher, reaching into a
strongbox in his bottom desk
drawer and peeling off two
$100 bills. “He was an affable
guy,’’ Quill said of Knowles. “He
thought I was hard up for mon-
ey.’’
Knowles was right. But Bill
Quill loved the life of an aca-
demic, pondering big ques-
tions like this one: What is the
meaning of life?
“ We r e a l l y d o n ’ t k n o w
where we came from,’’ he told
me. “We are here from ashes to
ashes and dust to dust, and in
the interim you have to make
your case.’’
If there’s anyone who knows
about ashes and dust, it’s Bill
Quill. He has earned an honor-
ary doctorate in it. And the guy
knows how to make his case.

Today’s game took place in
the third round of the Candi-
dates Tournament. It featured
the two favorites: sentimental
choice and former world cham-
pion Vladimir Kramnik and the
overwhelming popular choice
Levon Aronian. It was played at
a time when there was still
much promise for both players.
Kramnik was off to a great start
with 1.5/2, and Aronian with
one point (two draws) was still
very much in the tournament.
In several ways, this game was
the key to both players’ eventu-
al collapse, Aronian as he lost
badly and Kramnik in that per-
haps it gave him a false sense of
“fait accompli” for the event. In
any case, what we have is one of
the best attacking games of re-
cent memor y by one of the
greatest positional players of
all-time.

Loophole
on sex with
prisoners
is targeted
uPOLICE
Continued from Page B1
police officers were charged in
October with kidnapping and
raping an 18-year-old Brooklyn
woman they had taken into cus-
tody. Following those allega-
tions, the New York State As-
sembly last month passed a
proposal that closed a loophole
that allowed officers facing sex-
ual assault charges to claim the
victims consented to the act.
A Salem police officer was
arrested on rape and indecent
assault and battery charges in
November 2016. Officer Brian
Butler was arraigned on accusa-
tions that he raped a man in a
police station on Halloween.
T hat case, according to
Khan and Decker, is ongoing,
with the officer defending his
actions “on the grounds that
the sexual activity was consen-
sual.”
Khan and Decker’s proposal
would “prohibit police officers
from engaging in sexual con-
duct with those in their custo-
dy, supervision or with whom
they interact in their profes-
sional capacity.”
The legislation, they said,
was crafted with the consulta-
tion of law enforcement offi-
cials and survivor advocates. It
is awaiting committee assign-
ment.
“Hopefully this legislation,
in addition to our existing sexu-
al assault statutes, will elimi-
nate ambiguity around issues of
consent and help victims of
such abuse feel more empow-
ered to come forward,” Khan
said in a statement.
Decker called the legislation
“an important step in codifying
with clarity that mutual con-
sent can not exist when a per-
son is in the custody of law en-
forcement.”

and cosponsor of the bill, said
in a statement that the power
dynamic between police and
those in their custody “is too
unequal to allow for true, unco-
erced consent.”
“Our laws should reflect that
imbalance,” she said.

GEOGHEGAN, Thomas E.,
Ph.D.
Loving Husband
& Father
69, loving husband, devoted father and
a longtime professor at the University
of Louisville, died March 23, after a
courageous two-and-a-half year battle
with pancreatic cancer.
Tom shared a 48-year friendship,
partnership and marriage with his
loving wife, Kathleen. The pair met
while working at a gourmet market in
Boston, where Tom pretended to love
breakfast pastry to get closer to the girl
behind the counter. The couple married
three years later and eventually settled
in Louisville, where they would raise
their two children, Julie Turner and
William Geoghegan. Every summer, the
family would sojourn to their beloved
Cape Cod, a home away from home for
each of them.
Tom was born April 5, 1948 in
Boston, Massachusetts, the son of the
late Edward and Katherine Geoghegan.
His lifelong love for the Boston Red
Sox never faded, even from 1,000 miles
away in Kentucky, though the Louisville
Cardinals also claimed a piece of his
heart. Tom’s love for baseball is shared
by his son, a sportswriter in Rhode Is-
land, and his love for cooking is shared
by his daughter. Many nights in the
Geoghegan family were spent around
Tom’s table. His 12-string Martin guitar
made many appearances, as well.
In addition to Tom’s personal affec-
tion for the Cardinals, he was likewise
dedicated to the university in his
professional life. He joined the faculty
in the Department of Biochemistry at
the UofL School of Medicine in 1979.
He was admired by his fellow faculty
and greatly respected by the medical,
dental and graduate students in the
professional and graduate schools as
a counselor and lecturer. He partic-
ipated in NIH-funded research with
his colleagues and was a resource in
molecular biology for many in the
medical school. He trained five Ph.D.
and two M.S. candidates and served on
many graduate advisory committees.
He served as the Graduate Program Di-
rector in the Department of Biochem-
istry and served the medical school
as Interim Director of the Integrated
Biomedical Science from 2007 to 2009,
and as Associate Dean for Graduate
and Postdoctoral Affairs from 2009 to
2015. He retired from the University of
Louisville in June 2015.
Before coming to Louisville, Tom
obtained his B.A. in Biology from the
University of Massachusetts-Boston
and his Ph.D. in Biological Chemistry
at Penn State University in Hershey,
Pennsylvania.
He is survived by Kathleen, children
Julie and William, son-in-law John
Turner of Alexandria, Virginia, and
daughter-in-law Megan Geoghegan of
North Kingstown, Rhode Island. He
was the very proud grandfather of Jolie
Turner, who thoroughly enjoyed her
grandpa’s talent for music.
Tom also leaves a brother, Billy
Geoghegan of Boston, Massachusetts,
and nephews Michael and Matthew;
brothers-in-law Colonel Jack Quirk and
Bill (Anne) Quirk; niece Amy (George)
Elefteriou; and nephew Martin (Sarah)
Quirk.
Calling hours will be Tuesday from
3 to 7 p.m. at Ratterman Brothers
Funeral Home in Saint Matthews, 3711

lowed by a Mass of Christian Burial at

Charles P. Lazarus, 94, founder of Toys R Us
By Michael Corkery
NEW YORK TIMES
NEW YORK — Charles P. La-
zarus, who founded Toys R Us,
the toy store chain that for de-
cades captured the hearts of
American consumers but that
e ve nt ua l ly f ad ed an d su c-
cumbed to bankruptcy, died
Thursday. He was 94.
His family said Mr. Lazarus,
who lived in Manhattan, died of
respiratory failure at Mount Si-
nai Hospital in New York.
Mr. Lazarus’s death comes
one week after Toys R Us an-
nounced that it would start liq-
uidating its stores in the United
States. Loaded down by debt
and unable to attract new in-
vestment, the chain could no
longer compete with more nim-
ble toy sellers such as Amazon
and Walmart, and in Septem-
ber it filed for bankruptcy.
In the months since, compa-
ny executives were unable to
convince lenders that they had
a viable plan to turn around the
flagging business, and a dismal
holiday sales season signaled
that Toys R Us was nearing the
end. The closings announced
last week could result in more
than 30,000 employees losing
their jobs.
It was a painful denouement
for a company that Mr. Lazarus
founded 70 years ago in Wash-
ington, D.C., and that grew into
a global toy seller with thou-
sands of stores in locations
stretching from the United
Kingdom to Asia.
An aggressive entrepreneur,
Mr. Lazarus steered his compa-
ny through decades of growth
and several years of financial
turmoil, including a previous
bankruptcy. The company’s ul-
timate success came down to
Mr. Lazarus’s ability to master a
basic question: What do chil-
dren want to play with?
“When you look at what the
creativity of the toy market is,
you have to have imagination,
you have to think like a child,”
he told a documentary film-
maker in a 2016 interview.
Mr. Lazarus opened his first
store, Children’s Bargain Town,
which sold furniture, in 1948,
seeking to cash in on the post-
World War II baby boom. With-
in a few years, he began selling
toys along with baby products.
Frank Avruch; first kooky, then stately, always beloved

Continued from Page B1
isms. He was attentive to every-
thing else, too. “I had to be very
careful about the kinds of prod-
ucts advertised and the kinds of
things that I asked the kids to
do,” he told the Globe in 1976.
“It was a kind of awesome re-
sponsibility to a certain extent,
but it was fun.”
After he set aside Bozo, Mr.
Avruch became well-known to
older audiences for donning a
dapper tuxedo and hosting
“The Great Entertainment,” a
classic movies weekend offering
on WCVB-TV. In addition, his
news program interviews drew
a loyal following, and genera-
tions of viewers recognized his
rich disembodied voice, which
held sway in countless adver-
tisements and station promos
he recorded for decades.
At times his roles over-
lapped, which could create a
sort of cultural whiplash. “It
was nothing for me to slip out
of my clown makeup, wig, and

President Bush visited Mr. Lazarus at a Toys R Us store opening in Japan in 1992. Mr. Lazarus said of his success, “When
you look at what the creativity of the toy market is, you have to have imagination, you have to think like a child.”
In toys, Mr. Lazarus discov-
ered a more lucrative business:
Because toys and stuffed ani-
mals quickly fell out of favor
with children, parents had to
make frequent trips to the store
to keep up with the latest fads.
He opened his first store
dedicated exclusively to toys in
1957 and called it Toys R Us
(though he turned the R around
to face the other way to make it
look like a child had written it).
The company went on to
open up cavernous big-box
stores across the American sub-
urbs, dominating toys sales
with deep discounts and a huge
selection, and squeezing out
smaller toy shops.
Along the way Mr. Lazarus’s
company endeared itself to gen-
erations of children, with a lov-
able mascot in Geoffrey the Gi-
raffe and a hummable jingle: “I
don’t want to grow up, I’m a
Toys R Us kid.”
Toys R Us became a retailing

of course, Bozo’s goodie bag,
which was filled with Twinkies.”
During an Emmy Award-
winning career that stretched
for more than 40 years, he also
hosted or contributed to shows
such as “Good Day,” “Sunday
Open House,” “New England
Sunday,” and — earlier in his ca-
reer — “Dateline Boston” for
WCVB’s predecessor, WHDH-
TV.
Mr. Avruch enjoyed unusual
longevity on the air, which he
attributed to his versatility and
to something not many on-air
personalities in Boston TV
could say on their resumes: He
was homegrown.
“I’ve been lucky,” he told the
Globe in 1985. “People from
outside the Boston area find it
an adjustment coming here be-
cause Bostonians take their
time in getting to know you. I’m
lucky because I come from this
area, Winthrop, originally. I
think people know my roots are
here.”

George H.W. Bush joined Mr.
Lazarus for the opening of the
company’s first store in Japan
in 1992.
“He was a pioneer in the big-
box movement,” said Gerald
Storch, who was chief executive
of Toys R Us from 2006 to 2013.
“His business concept was as
innovative as e-commerce is to-
day.”
Storch said he regularly re-
minded his staff of the found-
er’s key business principles:
“Having more toys than anyone
else, having great prices, and
being in stock when no one else
is in stock.”
Born on Oct. 4, 1923, in
Washington and raised there,
Charles Philip Lazarus was in-
spired to open his own retail
business after helping his par-
ents, Frank and Phoebe, run a
bicycle shop. He decided to go

ing servicemen return from
Frank Bernard Avruch was
the son of Jack Avruch and the
former Lydia Katz, and he re-
called in an interview that
among his fondest childhood
memories was dropping 35
cents to see movies at the Win-
throp Theatre. “I loved going to
the musicals,” he said in 1980.
“I’d go to the movies ever y
chance I got. And I’m still a fan.
I like to see at least two new
movies a week.”
At Winthrop High School,
he received a special best actor
award, and he performed in
summer stock in Gloucester be-
fore graduating in 1949 from
Boston University, where he
studied communications.
After working as a radio an-
nouncer in Boston and Worces-
ter, Mr. Avruch landed a job at
WHDH-TV. One day, the sta-
tion’s managers asked him to
audition for the role of Bozo. “I
had some acting ability so I
tried,” he recalled in 1976. “And
they said, ‘OK, you’re it.’ ”
World War II, marry, and start
having children.
Toys, he learned, can be a
more fickle business. “If you
come to us to buy a toy, nobody
makes you buy a toy,” he told
the documentary filmmaker.
“Although over the years, I have
taught children to say, ‘I need,
rather than I want it.’ ”
Hi s u n d e r s t a n d i n g o f a
child’s mind-set helped him
amass a considerable fortune;

plex in Manhattan, which was

The show’s popularity quick-
ly grew. “We started out with 20
kids in the audience,” he said in
1989. “Later, when the studios
moved to Morrissey Boulevard
in Dorchester, we’d have 150 to
200 kids a show. There was a
wait for tickets. I had to change
my voice — ‘Hi, boys and girls,
this is your old pal Bozo’ — and
I learned to put on my own
makeup.”
During the 1970 s, in his
post-Bozo years, Mr. Avruch be-
gan developing a new fan base

fore video stores, when catch-
ing a classic film meant setting
aside time to watch perhaps its
only Boston TV broadcast for
an entire year — or longer.

duced “The Great Entertain-

who worked with Mr. Lazarus
for many years and had become
a close friend, said he did not
mention the liquidation to Mr.
Lazarus when he saw him Sat-
urday. “The beauty of Toys R Us
was that we were the toy store
for children across the world,”
Goldstein said.
By the early 2000s, the busi-
ness model of Toys R Us was
under pressure, and the compa-
ny was purchased by a group of
private equity investors in a lev-
eraged buyout in 2005. The
new owners loaded the compa-
ny with $5 billion in debt.
“There have been many sad
moments for Toys R Us in re-
cent weeks, and none more
heartbreaking than today’s
news about the passing of our
beloved founder, Charles La-
zarus,” Toys R Us said in its
statement Thursday afternoon.
“We will forever be grateful for
his positive energy, passion for
the customer, and love for chil-
dren everywhere.”
Mr. Avruch also interviewed
stars such as Henry Fonda,
M y r n a L o y, a n d A n t h o n y
Quinn, and he would drop mov-
ie trivia tidbits into his com-
mentary, though he dismissed
suggestions that he was a
stand-in for film critics and his-
torians. “I’m a fan, a fan who
loves movies,” he said in a 1980
interview.
Mr. Avruch was married for
61 years to the former Betty F.
Greenman. They previously
lived for decades in Newton,
where she had taught in the
public schools and was an ac-
complished photographer.
Services are private for Mr.
Avruch, who in addition to his
wife leaves their two sons, Ste-
ven of Boston and Matthew of
Westlake Village, Calif.; his sis-
ter, Evelyn Goodell; and two
grandchildren.
Though Mr. Avruch spent
nearly twice as many years
hosting “The Great Entertain-
ment” as he did portraying Bo-
zo, the indelible clown role was
difficult to shake. “When I meet
people today and they hear the
name ‘Frank Avruch,’ they say,
‘Didn’t you used to play Bozo?
Oh my God . . .’’ It’s that kind of
reaction that I continually get
from people who are married
and have kids of their own
now,” he told the Globe.
He wasn’t the only one who
portrayed Bozo. Those who
filled the clown’s floppy shoes
years ago in other venues in-
cluded Willard Scott of NBC’s
“Today Show.” But Mr. Avruch
had a particular affinity for the
role.
“I still have my suit tucked
away in the attic,” he mused. “I
haven’t worn it since 1970.
Maybe I will someday. I think I
got the closest to him of any-
body who played him.”

When towns lose their newspapers,

disease detectives lose evidence

M
By Helen Branswell
STAT
aia Majumder was on Twitter this
month when she saw a map that terri-
fied her. It showed the number of lo-
cal newspapers in each county across
the United States. Large swaths were
shaded light pink, denoting a county
that had no local newspaper at all. As
a record of the decline of the US news-
paper industry, it was disconcerting.
But Majumder, a scientist who specializes in mathemat-
ical modeling, saw something different in the splotches of
pink: a disaster for infectious disease surveillance.
STAT Epidemiologists rely on all kinds of data to de-
tect the spread of disease, including reports from
local and state agencies and social media. But local news-
papers are critical to identifying outbreaks and forecasting
their trajectories.
On the map, Majumder saw every county without a lo-
cal newspaper as a community where health officials and
disease researchers could be flying blind.
“We rely very heavily on local news. And I think what
this will probably mean is that there are going to be pock-
ets of the US where we’re just not going to have a particu-
larly good signal anymore,” said Majumder, a PhD candi-
date at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Majumder is a computational epidemiology research
fellow at HealthMap, a 12-year-old disease detection proj-
ect run by researchers from Boston Children’s Hospital.
The website uses nontraditional data sources — reports
from local news outlets and social media platforms among
them — to track global infectious disease activity in real
time.
The information HealthMap gathers is used not only by
public health authorities, but by researchers around the
world who are studying things like the changing geograph-
ic distribution of diseases — think Zika — and the impact
of climate change on disease patterns, said John Brown-
stein, one of the site’s cofounders.
“Local media is the bedrock of Internet surveillance —
the kind of work that we do in terms of scouring the Web
looking for early signs of something taking place in a com-
munity,” explained Brownstein, chief innovation officer at
Children’s and a pioneer in the field of using sources other
than public health data to do this type of work.
He pointed to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic as an
example of a case in which local reporting helped to bring
an emerging disease threat to global attention.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was the
first agency to detect that two young children in California
had been infected with a flu strain circulated in pigs. As of-
ficials were trying to figure out if the cases were blips or
part of something bigger, however, disease detectives be-
gan combing media reports to determine whether unusual
numbers of people with flu-like illness in Mexico had also
been sickened by the new virus. It turned out they had
been. The new virus was spreading.
“It makes sense that if we see a reduction in local re-
porting, you’re not going to have that early signaling of
something in a community,” Brownstein said.
Without local reporting, it’s also harder to follow an

Boston in mix as potential World Cup host The Kraft

By Jon Chesto
GLOBE STAFF
Kraft Group is teeing up a nonprofit
organization that would enable Boston
to take a shot at being a host city for
the FIFA World Cup in 2026.
The owner of the New England Pa-
triots and Revolution has formed Bos-
ton Soccer 2026 to put Boston in the
mix. The United States Soccer Associa-
tion and its counterparts in Mexico
and Canada submitted a bid to FIFA
with 23 possible host cities, including
Boston, earlier this month.
Kraft Group chief executive Robert
Kraft is honorary chairman of the
North American bid committee.
The list had been winnowed down
from nearly 50. Leaders in Chicago,
Vancouver, and Minneapolis withdrew
from consideration this month, citing
concerns they could get saddled with
cumbersome FIFA requirements.
The local games would be played at
the nearly 66,000-seat Gillette Stadi-
um in Foxborough. But Boston would
be the primary host city, in part be-
cause many fans would travel through
Logan Airport and stay in the city.

throughout the region. So for
us, the best method to achieve
all of that was to form Boston
Soccer 2026.”
For now, Kraft Group is the
only company backing Boston
Soccer 2026. Buttafuoco said
the nonprofit eventually would
tr y to raise an unspecified
amount of money for Boston’s
role in hosting as many as six
games at Gillette in mid-2026.
“This effort, Boston Soccer
2026, basically ensures that
we’re not going to ask for any
public funding in operating
these games,” Buttafuoco said.
Significant fund-raising,
though, won’t begin until it is
certain that Boston will be a
host city.
FIFA, the sport’s interna-
tional governing organization,
first needs to choose between
the North America proposal,
known as the United Bid, and a
rival offer from Morocco. That
decision is expected in June. If
North America wins, FIFA
would narrow the list of host
cities down to as many as 16 by
sometime in 2020.
One big selling point of the
United Bid: There are more
than enough existing stadiums
to accommodate the games.
The same is not true in Moroc-
co.
Buttafuoco said no extra in-
frastructure would be needed

in Massachusetts. Kraft Group’s
motivation, he said, is partly
aimed at showing off 16-year-
old Gillette Stadium on a global
stage. Plus, he said, the games
could provide a significant
boost for the local economy.
“This would have a tremen-
dous short- and long-term ben-
efit for Boston and the region in
welcoming the world,” he said.
Kraft Group officials said
their on-again, off-again plans
for a soccer-specific stadium to
accommodate the Revolution
would proceed separately from
the World Cup bid. The Major
League Soccer stadium, if it
comes to fruition, would be
about a third of the size of Gil-
lette.
Their quest for a soccer are-
na site in Greater Boston has
gone quiet ever since a proposal
at UMass Boston’s Bayside Ex-
po Center property in Dor-
chester fell apart last year. If the
Revolution gets a soccer stadi-
um by 2026, it wouldn’t be es-
sential to the bid but “would be-
come a very unique asset that
we could incorporate into our
overall programming,” Butta-
fuoco said.
The World Cup has come to
this country before, in 1994.
That event was considered a
seminal moment. It inspired le-
gions of new fans and led to the
formation of Major League Soc-
cer. The Patriots’ previous stadi-
um in Foxborough was one of
the host venues.
The 1994 World Cup was so
successful that it left a $50 mil-
lion surplus to a newly formed
charity, the US Soccer Founda-
tion.
Victor Matheson, an eco-
nomics professor at the College
of the Holy Cross in Worcester,
said the net financial impact of
the 2026 World Cup would be
quite different than that of the
2024 Summer Olympics, which
Boston once sought to host.
That’s because all the competi-
tion venues are already in
place, unlike with the Olym-
pics.
“Theoretically, the World
Cup should be all benefits and
almost no costs,” Matheson
said. “You don’t need to build
anything for this.”

Turkey is notorious for practic-
ing torture and locking up po-
litical dissenters, but it’s also a
US ally. Nojeim said that na-
tions such as Turkey could be
approved for CLOUD for purely
political reasons and argued
that governments should have
to meet specific human rights
standards to be considered for
the expedited access.
In addition, CLOUD -ap-
proved countries would be able
to listen to their citizens’ voice
communications without meet-
probable-cause standard for a
wiretap warrant. Nojeim fears
we could be helping foreign in-
vestigators conduct open-end-
ed fishing expeditions against
their own people.
Swire concedes that CLOUD
isn’t perfect. But the alternative
is worse, he said, because of a
worrisome trend called data lo-
calization — or countries de-

manding that Internet data
about their citizens be stored
on their territory, to ensure
their laws apply, and not those
of the United States.
China is obsessed with data
localization. It recently forced
Apple Inc.’s iCloud service to
keep all information uploaded
by Chinese customers at a gov-
ernment-run data center in that
country. This lets Chinese in-
vestigators get their citizens’
data without playing “Mother,
may I?” with a US court.
It’s scary stuff, because of
China’s unabashed contempt
for its citizens’ rights. But even
more-liberal countries are chaf-
ing at US domination of the In-
ternet cloud. Some countries
ernment files or citizens’ medi-
cal records on domestic servers.
Without CLOUD, Swire said
some countries would increas-
ingly demand localization of
even more of their citizens’
files.
If that happens, companies
like Google might have to run
separate networks in many of
the nations where they operate.
And people in less-free coun-
tries could end up with fewer
privacy protections. Under the
CLOUD Act, Swire said, a coun-
try like Turkey would have to
agree to at least some human
rights protections to see files
stored in a US-controlled cloud.
But if Turkey follows China’s
lead and forces Internet compa-
nies to store their citizens’ data
locally, the government could
do whatever it wants.
“The choice is the CLOUD
Act or weaker safeguards down
the line,” Swire said.

Apple goes to alien territory: Hollywood “Planet of the Apps.” It had

NEW YORK TIMES
NEW YORK — Apple relish-
es its status as a dominant force
in the corporate world. So it
was noteworthy when one of its
executives struck a note of hu-
mility this month at the South
by Southwest conference in
Austin, Texas.
“We don’t know anything
about making television,” said
Eddy Cue, a senior vice presi-
dent who oversees the compa-
ny ’s original programming
team. “There’s other things we
bring. We know how to create
apps, we know how to do distri-
bution, we know how to mar-
ket.”
Apple’s new venture has tak-
en it far from its Silicon Valley
comfort zone to alien territory:
Hollywood. Or, to be more pre-
cise, Culver City, Calif., where
Apple is building a headquar-
ters for its entertainment divi-
sion.
Apple in recent months has
outspent Facebook and You-
Tube — two other tech compa-
nies moving into original pro-
gramming — as well as the tra-
ditional TV studios. In a few
cases, it has also beaten Netflix
in bidding wars.
Since October, Apple has
made deals for 12 projects, nine
of them “straight-to-series” or-
ders — an aggressive method of
creating new programming
that skips the pilot-episode
stage.
When Apple began courting
producers last year, it said it
had a budget of about $1 billion
to work with. Now it is becom-
ing clear the company will blow
well past that figure.
Apple’s Hollywood prospects
seemed dim as recently as June,
when it rolled out its first origi-
nal series, a reality show called
some big names attached — in-
cluding Gwyneth Paltrow — but
was largely perceived as a dud.
Cue soon improved the com-
pany’s standing by hiring veter-
an TV executives Zack Van Am-
burg and Jamie Erlicht from So-
ny Pictures Television. They
moved quickly to build Apple
Worldwide Video, expanding
its staff to roughly 40 people.
In putting together its slate
of 12 projects (and counting),
they made deals with big names
including Reese Witherspoon,
Steven Spielberg, Damien Cha-
zelle, Jennifer Aniston, and
Kristen Wiig.
Overall, there were 487
scripted shows released last
year, a number that will rise to
more than 500 in 2018. To keep
up with Netflix, Amazon and
Hulu have thrown money at
new projects, while marquee
cable players like HBO and FX
are focused on holding their
place in the market.
Apple has two advantages:
cash — more than $285 billion
on hand — and the promise of
working with one of the most
successful companies on earth.

TV CRITIC’S CORNER ASK AMY

BY MATTHEW GILBERT

“West Wing” cast members have filmed a PSA to run before the midterm elections.
A ‘West Wing’ reunion for voting rights
There has been some talk of late that “The
West Wing” might pull a “Roseanne” and return
with new episodes, to bring the show’s trade-
mark idealism to a country in chaos.
In the meantime, a bunch of cast members
from the 1999-2006 TV classic have reunited
once again for a video. This time, they’re back
together for a two-minute-long NowThis-pro-
duced PSA about voting rights, in anticipation
of the upcoming midterm elections. Their goal:
to encourage people to fight against voter sup-
pression policies
Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Bradley Whit-
ford, Richard Schiff, Dulé Hill, Janel Moloney,
KEVIN FOLEY/NBC/FILE
Mary McCormack, and Jimmy Smits appear in
the clip, whose catchphrase is “Let America
Vote.” (Respectively, they played Jed Bartlet,
C.J. Cregg, Josh Lyman, Toby Ziegler, Charlie
Young, Donna Moss, Kate Harper, and Matt
Santos.) In previous years, the former fictional
White House staffers have joined up to make a
PSA for veterans issues, a political ad for Mc-
Cormack’s sister, and piece on Big Block of
Cheese Day.
The best moment in the voting rights clip
comes at the very end. “I’m Allison [expletive]
Janney,” the actress says, “and I won an Oscar.
Now let America vote!”
Sometimes, advice­givers
run out of answers
Dear Readers: I’m stepping away from the col-
umn this week to travel the country and meet
readers. This is an edited version of an essay I
wrote a year ago.
I’m about to celebrate another anniversary of
writing this column, and — after almost 15 years
— I will admit that I have already outlasted my
original expectation for this experience. When I
started the “Ask Amy” column in 2003, I think I
assumed that my readership would run out of
questions.
I also thought that we might simply tire of one
another, in the way that happens in so many long
relationships. This column runs most days each
year, and aside from some brief breaks while I
worked on other projects, I’ve consistently as-
sumed the role of Ask Amy while this column
grew into its adolescence. I’ve written while on-
board planes, trains, and ferryboats, sitting in the
public library, and in my home office, which is in
an old red barn. I’ve opened bushels of postal
mail, run through eight laptops, and (by my esti-
mation) clicked open 520,000 e-mails.
When I started writing this column, I was a
middle-age single mother with a teenage daugh-
ter, living in Chicago. I am now married, with
four more daughters and two granddaughters.
Like all of you, my own life has taken many unex-
pected turns. Like all of you, my own journey has
been crooked and fraught with challenges and
complication.
Several years ago, I left my office at the Chica-
go Tribune, and with the acceptance of my em-
ployer moved back to my hometown of Freeville,
N.Y. (pop 505), to be with my elderly mother.
Like the almost four in 10 Americans who
help to take care of an ill family member, I en-
tered a period of challenges that I was not pre-
pared to face. After living in New York City, Wash-
ington, D.C., London, and Chicago, I was plunged
back into the universe of the small town where I
was born and raised on a dairy farm. After 17
years of being (mostly) happily single, I fell in
love, and, after a whirlwind courtship, I married
a man I have known since I was 12 years old. I be-
came a stepmother, and then, quickly, a grand-
mother.
Our marriage, which was launched on the gos-
samer thread of a romantic fairy tale, has contin-
ued firmly grounded in real-life graces. When you
choose a partner in late-life, you are really pick-
ing out the person you would most like to push
your wheelchair. I chose well.
My two sisters and I struggled through the be-
wildering minefield of medical caregiving so that
our mother could stay at home at the end of her
life. Our mother’s death, and the deaths of other
family members in quick succession, tore a hole
through our family. I entered a period of deep
sadness that no remedy seemed able to touch.
Through it all, I have continued to do my job
(as all of you do yours, during good and tough
times). Although I am someone others turn to for
answers, I have often been surprised by my own
frailty and failings. My search for ways to live my
own best life has taken me through a shelf of self-
help books, into therapy, nature, art, music, med-
itation, and a return to my faith through my
hometown church.
My search for ways to live my
own best life has taken me
through a shelf of self­help
books, into therapy, nature,
art, music, meditation, and a
return to my faith.
The constant and most inspiring through-line
in this phase of late-middle age has been the deep
connection I share with my readers and the peo-
ple who are brave enough to air their problems in
this space. At my deepest moments of personal
questioning, I have anchored to the inspiring re-
ality of this connection, and the sure knowledge
that I am not alone. None of us is alone, if we are
brave and generous enough to hold onto each
other.
With the exception of my immediate family,
my relationship with you has been the longest of
my life. It has lasted longer than my first mar-
riage and longer than any of the succession of
brazen and beloved tabby cats that have wan-
dered through my household. This connection
has grown more fierce and faithful with time,
and I am truly grateful. And so I have dedicated
my memoir, “Strangers Tend to Tell Me Things: A
Memoir of Love, Loss, and Coming Home,” to the
readers of the “Ask Amy” column. You have been
generous with your own stories. You have trusted
me, and have taught me so much. Thank you.

‘Black Panther’ beaten

JORDAN STRAUSS/INVISION/AP/FILE
Damon supports
inclusion riders for
movie casts, crews
Add Matt Damon to the list of folks
who support the idea of inclusion rid-
ers.
The actor told The Hollywood Re-
porter that he would support the idea
of requiring that the cast and crew of a
movie should reflect the country at
large .
“There have been a lot of back-
channel conversations that have been
going on. I would say most of the peo-
ple I know are activated around this
and talking about this.” Damon told
the publication last week.
“There’s no reason our industry
shouldn’t look like our country demo-
graphically,” he said.
An inclusion rider would stipulate
that the cast or crew of a film include
some number of women, minorities,
LGBTQ individuals, or others.
“The rider itself is not the point.
That’s the means to the end. The point
is inclusion and hopefully this is the
tool that can get us there,” he said.
Damon said that Fanshen Cox Di­
Giovanni, the head of strategic out-
reach at Pearl Street Firms, which he
founded with his pal Ben Affleck, was
hired after they realized they “needed
to do better” when it came to issues of
inclusion.
“She brought us the Annenberg
study that was done out of USC, which
was just the data collection on the real
numbers industry-wide. And they
were horrible. It was alarming and
embarrassing. So she kind of chal-
lenged us with that,” Damon said.

It took six weeks but ‘‘Black Pan-
ther’’ has finally been unseated as the
top film at the box office. The mon-
sters vs. robots science-fiction sequel
‘‘Pacific Rim: Uprising’’ has dethroned
‘‘Black Panther’’ with an estimated $28
million in weekend ticket sales.
According to studio estimates Sun-
day, ‘‘Black Panther’’ slid to second
place with $16.7 million in its sixth
week. The superhero sensation still

CAMBRIDGE — It was plenty clear from
Rajiv Joseph’s “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad
Zoo’’ that the playwright possesses not just
a striking originality of mind and a truck-
load of talent but a willingness to go to very
dark places thematically and dramatically.
It was also clear from that breakthrough
play — which was a finalist for a Pulitzer
Prize in 2010 and ran on Broadway a year
later, starring Robin Williams as the tiger —
that Joseph has given a lot of thought to the
depredations of the powerful throughout
history and their impact on the powerless.
That preoccupation comes through with
equal force in Joseph’s “Guards at the Taj,’’
hauntingly realized in an Underground
Railway Theater production directed by
Gabriel Vega Weissman.
“Guards at the Taj,’’ which won the Obie
Award for best new American play two
years ago, is a sharply drawn and engross-
ing portrait of a close friendship that is
jeopardized by political forces the friends
cannot control, in the form of a mind-bend-
ingly grim duty imposed from on high. Jo-
seph stares unblinkingly at the cruelties of
which we humans are capable while insist-
ing that we, too, take a long look.
As did Brecht with his famous poem “A
Worker Reads History’’ (“Who built the sev-
en gates of Thebes? The books are filled
with names of kings. Was it the kings who
hauled the craggy blocks of stone?’’), Jo-
seph prompts us to think about the im-
mense suffering that lies behind some of
the wonders of the world.
The Taj Mahal is one of those wonders,
of course, and it is outside that white-mar-
ble mausoleum in Agra, India, that we find
two young imperial guards standing sentry

for the first time.
Friends since childhood, their names
are Humayun and Babur, portrayed by Ja-
cob Athyal and Harsh J. Gagoomal, respec-
tively. Both actors deliver marvelously tex-
tured portrayals; Humayun and Babur may
ultimately be pawns in a large and ruthless
game, but Athyal and Gagoomal endow
them with an individuality and specificity
that elevates the moral and emotional
stakes of “Guards at the Taj.’’
The personalities and attitudes toward
their jobs of Humayun and Babur could
scarcely be more different. Babur is almost
adolescent in his insouciance as he blithely
flouts the imperial guards’ sacred oath not
to speak and prods Humayun with impu-
dent questions like: “When do we get to
guard the Imperial Harem?’’ He constantly
flirts with what Humayun considers blas-
phemy and — in Babur’s flippant remarks
about the emperor — sedition.
By contrast, Humayun is all business,
the by-the-book son of an authoritarian fa-
ther. Humayun is ever-mindful of the fact
entomb his beloved wife. He has ordered
that the complex not be seen by anyone ex-
cept for those working on it, and, moreover,
that “Nothing so beautiful as Taj Mahal
shall ever be built again,’’ says Humayun.
In fact, a rumor is circulating that in or-
der to achieve that latter goal, the emperor
has issued a royal decree that is breathtak-
ing in its inhumanity. It can’t be true, can
it? The emperor wouldn’t go that far, would
he?
Well, yes it can and yes he would, at
least in Joseph’s version of the story. And
Humayun and Babur are soon confronted
with an unthinkable task.
Director Weissman skillfully constructs
and sustains an atmosphere that is alter-
nately foreboding, jolting, and elegiac, with
strong contributions from his design team
(Grace Laubacher, set; Reza Behjat, light-
ing; Benjamin Emerson, sound; and Leslie
Held, costumes).
Athyal and Gagoomal deftly handle the
transition from the darkly comic tone that
prevails in the beginning of “Guards’’ to the
aura of horror that then asserts itself, and
then they vividly delineate the interperson-
al fallout of that horror. As Gagoomal’s
Babur rebels against what he sees as a
threat to the very idea of beauty while Athy-
al’s Humayun responds to a different kind
of threat, the actors make us feel at every
moment how much their actions are cost-
ing the friends.
The play is shrewdly constructed and
studded with moments that reverberate
anew as events unfold, such as the seem-
ingly innocuous first line of dialogue, when
Humayun tells Babur “ Wrong hand’’
(Babur’s holding his sword in the incorrect
hand). Equally significant is the wordless
end to the first scene, with the two friends
holding each other’s hands as they gaze,
awestruck, at the Taj Mahal, whose magnif-
icence comes at such a terrible price.

precision of a military communique or a bank check.”
Dmitri Shostakovich, who was Babel’s near-contemporary,
seems to have heeded this advice in his Eleventh Quartet. Notes
are few. Textures are spare. The edifice feels unfinished, condi-
tional, predicated on a future to which the composer could no
longer fully subscribe. But the flip side

dan Hall, the Takacs Quartet did it
with utter mastery. As second violinist
Károly Schranz closed out the move-
ment with an oscillating two note figure, the last laughs landed
with a devastatingly dull thud, like earth on a coffin. This exac-
titude of sonic imagination is a quality the Takacs Quartet’s loy-
al audiences have come to expect from the group’s regular visits
to town. That doesn’t make its impact any less remarkable.
Of the three works presented in Friday night’s rewarding
performance, Shostakovich’s Eleventh made the strongest im-
pact on this listener. The playing in the night’s opening Mozart
Quartet (K. 387) took a few minutes to reach the Takacs’ typical
standard, but the evening’s closing account of Beethoven’s tow-
ering late Quartet Op. 131 galvanized the crowd with good rea-
son. The group’s Decca recording of this piece brings out more
of the sublime wildness at the heart of this music, but Friday’s
performance had subtlety, insight, and a grandeur all its own.
The Takacs were founded over 40 years ago and, as similarly
storied ensembles like the Guarneri and the Tokyo Quartets
have disbanded in the last decade, these four players are still go-
ing strong. And unlike with certain other groups that manage
to pass the four-decade mark, with these players, it’s about so
much more than just showing up and presenting a plausible
simulacrum of a Distinguished Quartet.
If there was a special note of gratitude in the crowd’s warm
reception on Friday, I think it was not only for the performance
the Takacs gave but for what it reflected: a deeply moving sense
of dedication to exploring the mysteries of the extraordinary
quartet literature and presenting their findings in such vibrant
three-dimensional life. We are grateful not just for what they
play but why they keep playing.

Celtics 104 SACRAMENTO, Ca-

Kings 93 Celtics’ game against
the Trail Blazers on Friday night,
point guard Terry Rozier was trying
to fight through a screen when his
right thumb was bent farther back-
ward than thumbs are supposed to
bend.
His hand was wrapped with ice
after the game, and on Sunday night,
after the Celtics faced the Kings, the
thumb was covered with a large ban-
dage. When it was pointed out to Ro-
zier that it had not appeared to affect
him against Sacramento, he smiled.
“Guess not,” he said.
The third-year point guard was
devastating on Sunday, scoring a ca-
reer-high 33 points and leading the
still-undermanned Celtics to a 104-

once again overcame a double-digit
deficit, but this 10-point hole
seemed to be almost met with a

Reliever Poyner,
a 14th-round pick,
fearless, impressive
Nick Cafardo
ON BASEBALL
FORT MYERS, Fla. — The
best description of lefthander
Bobby Poyner came from catch-
er Christian Vazquez.
““He’s not afraid of any-
thing,’’ the Red Sox catcher
said. “He throws the fastball in
on righthanders. He can throw
it high and tight. He can beat
you with his slider. He doesn’t
have to throw 100 [miles per
hour] to get the job done. He
just gets people out, lefty,
righty, it doesn’t matter. I’m
very impressed with him.”
How about the fact that the
25-year-old has never pitched
above Double A?
“I don’t think it matters with
him,” Vazquez said. “When you
throw as many strikes as he
does, he can pitch at any level.
That’s a decision for somebody
else to make, but if he’s on the
team I wouldn’t be surprised.
It’s not like you say, ‘Oh no, he’s
too inexperienced.’ He’s experi-
enced enough not to be too ner-
vous about being in the big
leagues. He’s been able to get
big-league hitters out.”
And so Poyner, who tops off
near 92 m.p.h., could be the
surprise addition coming out of
camp.
“I’m super happy with the
way I threw the ball,” Poyner
said. “All of my pitches are
coming along well. I’m really
happy with the way I’ve pro-
gressed.”
Has he been told he’s made
the team?
“No, I haven’t been told any-
thing,” Poyner said with a
smile. “It’s tough because
there’s a lot that goes into the
decision. I’ll probably be told
tomorrow or the next couple of
days. I’m really not sure, but
I’m hoping for the best.”
Every year there’s someone
who comes out of the blue in
spring training. Sometimes
their tenure is short lived.
Sometimes it’s the start to a
brilliant career. Poyner is not a
hard-throwing, modern-day re-
liever, and is a breath of fresh
air.
“He throws hard enough,”
Drew Pomeranz said. “You
don’t have to throw 100 to be
effective. He knows how to
place the baseball, throw it
where they can’t hit it or where
they can do the least damage.
That’s what you’re trying to do
out there and from what I’ve
seen that’s what he does. He
seems like someone who really
knows how to pitch and how to
set up hitters. That seems like
the toughest hurdle for young
pitchers to cross and he seems
to have done that already.”
Poyner, who appeared in his
10th spring game Sunday, has
held opponents to 3 for 29 with
a fastball-changeup combina-
tion that keeps righthanded
hitters off balance. If he makes
the team, he would be the only
lefty in a seven-man bullpen.
Robby Scott, last year’s lefty
of choice, was optioned to Paw-
tucket. Roenis Elias simply
wasn’t consistent enough to
keep. Brian Johnson, an out-of-
options lefty, will start the sea-
son as the fourth starter, but
when Eduardo Rodriguez and
Pomeranz are ready, Johnson
likely will have to be moved to
the bullpen, or the Sox can pass
him through waivers in the
hopes they can outright him to
Pawtucket. But if they can’t,
Johnson could bump Poyner.
And then there’s the Steven
Wright conundrum. What do
Spring training report
Score: Red Sox 6, Twins 1
Record: 20­9­1
Breakdown: The Red Sox, 12­1 in their last 13 games, exchanged first­inning
leadoff homers (Mookie Betts and Brian Dozier), but the Red Sox took a 3­1 lead
when the Sox mounted a two­out rally in the second inning: Christian Vazquez
scored on J.D. Martinez’s single to left and Betts scored on a Hanley Ramirez’s
single off Dozier’s glove. The Sox never looked back. Betts hit his second home
run of the game and Andrew Benintendi also provided a home run in the 10­hit
attack.
Thumbs up: It was a good day for Betts, who hit a pair of homers and added a
walk, while Martinez stroked three hits in five at­bats. There was also a two­out
double by Vazquez. Three of Boston’s six runs came with two outs. Sox pitchers
held the Twins to three hits.
Thumbs down: Rafael Devers went 0 for 4, but there was little in the way of any­
thing on the downside.
Medical report: Chris Sale was deemed “fine” by Alex Cora after he was hit in
the left hip by a liner Saturday. He’s expected to make his Opening Day start
Thursday vs. the Rays.
Around the bases: Ramirez predicted before the game that Martinez would hit
a home run because he was hitting No. 2 in front of Ramirez. “He’ll get fastballs
right down the middle of the plate.” Martinez went 3 for 5 but with no homers

you do with Wright after he
serves his 15-game suspension
for a domestic abuse violation?
He may also need a bullpen
spot.
The Red Sox don’t seem to
care about starting the arbitra-
tion clock with Poyner. The oth-
er issue is placing him on the
40-man roster. The Red Sox are
at 39 and that could thin out
even more. Marcus Walden, a
righthander, also has had a
very good camp. Walden has an
0.69 ERA and a .143 opponents
average in seven Grapefruit
League games with 15 strike-
outs in 13 innings.
Manager Alex Cora has been
gushing about Poyner since
camp began and he may finally
reward the former University of
Florida reliever.
“He’s been eye-opening,” Co-
ra said. “You go through the
stats and you can see it, being
able to be around minor league
staff helped me out a lot to see
who he is. He’s been able to get
outs at a high rate throughout
his career. He’s got great poise
on the mound, a good strike-
thrower.”
Poyner was a 14th-round
choice — 411th overall — in
2015 as a four-year performer
out of Florida. He grew up in
Wellington, Fla., outside of
Palm Beach, and went to Palm
Beach Central High School. He
tore his labrum as a senior and
then tried out and made the
Gators. In 89 career appearanc-
es (15 starts) he went 14-10
with a 3.10 ERA. He played for
Orleans in the Cape Cod
League for two summers. At
Double A Portland, he had a
0.94 ERA with 52 strikeouts in
38‚ innings.
On Sunday, he allowed a
two-out double to Logan Morri-
son, but retired Max Kepler on
a hard liner to left to get out of
the inning in the Sox’ 6-1 victo-
ry over the Twins. In 10‚ in-
nings, Poyner has allowed one
run and has retired 29 of 34
batters.
“I was really trying to come
in and take each outing and fo-
cus on each outing. I wanted to
put together a good string of
them and that’s what I’ve done.
I’ve been able to work on my
pitches and had some success,”
Poyner said.
Poyner said that although
his changeup has worked
against righthanded hitters, his
changeup on lefties has really
emerged in this camp. He’s re-
ceived a lot of advice from Da-
vid Price and Pomeranz. Last
year, minor league pitching
coach Paul Abbott converted
his straight changeup to more
of a circle changeup and it’s
made a big difference.
“I’ve had to prove myself
wherever I’ve been,” Poyner
said. “But I think that’s made
me appreciate what hard work
can do for someone. I’ve never
stopped trying to get better. I
don’t think I’ve surprised my-
self. I think I’ve worked hard
and I’m where I’m at for a rea-
son.
“A lot of people have helped
me along the way. I’ve been
able to take that advice and ap-
ply it and it’s been good, con-
structive advice. No matter how
much advice you get, you have
to be able to convert it into re-
sults.”
Making the major league
roster would be proof that he’s
been able to apply what he’s
learned, which should set an
example to one and all who
were in Poyner’s shoes and nev-
er thought they could beat the
odds.

Coach all
for a new
catch
rule
Ben Volin
ON FOOTBALL
ORLANDO — Bill Belichick
is just as eager as the rest of us
for the NFL to come up with a
catch rule that works.
“I mean, we all talk about it
a lot,” Belichick said late Sun-
day evening at a Ritz-Carlton
Resort in Orlando, site of this
week’s NFL owners meetings.
“If we can do anything to make
that better, make the game bet-
ter, then I’m for it, we’re all for
it. Just have to try to find out
what that is.”
The catch rule is hardly the
only order of business over the
next three days. The NFL’s
owners, general managers,
head coaches, and top execu-
tives will be debating and vot-
ing on 27 rules proposals, from
changing defensive pass inter-
ference to 15 yards, to allowing
teams to hire head coaches
that are still alive in the play-
offs (a so-called “Josh McDan-
iels rule), to requiring that
each stadium is equipped with
female locker rooms.
But the league’s new catch
rule is the headliner, and the
NFL’s Competition Committee
believes it finally found an an-
swer that everyone can agree
with. The new rule, which is
likely to receive the 24 of 32
owner votes needed to pass,
has been simplified to a three-
step process:
R Control the ball prior to it
touching the ground;
R Touch two feet, or any
other body part other than
hands, in-bounds;
R Perform any act common
to the game (lunging for the
first down, tucking the ball,
taking a step up-field, etc.), or
maintaining control of the ball
long enough to do so.
Belichick said he’ll have a
better understanding of the
rule after it is presented by the
Competition Committee in this
Belichick loves team­building process
By Jim McBride
GLOBE STAFF
ORLANDO — Bill Belichick
gave a mini State of the Patriots
address Sunday afternoon just
before the NFL’s annual own-
ers meetings kicked off at the
Ritz-Carlton Resort.
The coach weighed in on
Josh McDaniels, Rob
Gronkowski, Malcolm Butler,
Tom Brady, and what he called
“an exciting time in the team-
building process.”
Belichick was sharply
dressed in a light blue, check-
ered blazer, as opposed to the
Johns Hopkins pullover he’s
fashioned at several recent Pro
Days (“Yeah, not for long,” he
joked. “This won’t be on too
long.’’) and spoke to a handful
of local reporters. He’ll meet
with a larger gathering at a
Tuesday morning breakfast
here.
Belichick first tackled the is-
sue of the return of McDaniels,
who had accepted the Colts
head coaching job only to
change his mind after he had a
meeting with Belichick after
the Super Bowl. Though he
didn’t point to a specific reason
for McDaniels’s change of
heart, Belichick made no secret
about how glad he is to have
him in the fold.
“We got back from Minne-
sota and I got an opportunity
to talk to Josh and we were
able to work some things out
and I’m thrilled that he’s still
with us and continue in his
role,’’ the coach said. “I think

because of inclement weather.

week’s meetings.
“We had a little bit of dis-
cussion on it this afternoon,
but I’m sure it will be a lot
deeper than that,” Belichick
said. “I think we all want to
find something that’s simple,
that we can all understand, we
can all agree on, we can all
look at the play and say, OK, it
is or it isn’t. How do we do
that? I think that’s the goal of
Al Riveron and the other peo-
ple that are involved in that
process.”
One item that is not on the
official agenda that will surely
generate a lot of discussion
among the owners and with
the media: The league’s posi-
tion on standing for the na-
tional anthem.
The topic divided the nation
last fall, and it divided the
owners Sunday.
The NFL’s game operations
manual states that “all players
must be on the sideline for the
national anthem,” and that
players “should stand at atten-
tion, face the flag, hold helmets
in their left hand, and refrain
from talking.”
The league office stated sev-
eral times last fall that the
word “should” implies that
standing for the anthem is not
required.
tor in the league. He’s done a
great job for me for a long time
in a lot of different roles.
Belichick wished former de-
fensive coordinator Matt Patri-
cia well in Detroit and said
aside from Bubba Ventrone
leaving to become the Colts’
special teams coordinator, “a
lot more stayed the same than
has changed” when it comes to
his staff.
“We’ ll have some further
staff announcements as we go
through the spring, still work-
ing through some things here,’’
he said.
As for the big question on
his big tight end, Belichick de-
clined to elaborate on whether
he’s gotten any indication from
Gronkowski about whether he
will return for a ninth season in
Foxborough. Gronkowski was
noncommittal after the Super
Bowl and has sent out cryptic
tweets recently.
“I’m not going to speak for
anybody else,’’ the coach said.
“So, conversations I’ve had
with the players, and I’ve had a
lot of them, I’ll keep those pri-
vate between myself and the
player. I respect those coach-to-
player conversations. I don’t
want to speak for anyone else.’’
Belichick also didn’t delve
into Butler’s comments from
last week when he said during
his introductory news confer-
ence in Tennessee that he may
not have been “locked in and
focused 100 percent” on the
game plan and perhaps that
led to his Super Bowl benching.
“I have a lot of respect for
continued into the night, cre-
ating dangerous driving condi-
tions on nearby roads and
leaving little chance of getting
the track cleared and dry
enough to race Sunday.
Cup Series driver Darrell
‘‘Bubba’’ Wallace Jr. tweeted a
T h e B o s t o n
Texans owner Bob McNair
disagreed with that interpreta-
tion Sunday.
“We have a policy manual
now that says they must be on
the sideline and they should
stand and hold their helmet in
their left hand. I interpret that
to mean that’s what they
should be doing,” McNair said.
“The union argues, ‘Well, if you
really meant it, you’d say
‘must.’ ”
Jets owner Chris Johnson
said he doesn’t want to change
the rule to require players to
stand for the anthem.
“I can’t speak to how other
people run their teams, but I
just think that trying to forci-
bly get the players to shut up is
a fantastically bad idea,” John-
son told reporters.
But McNair appears to be
on the other end of the spec-
trum.
“Our playing field is not the
place for political statements,
that’s not the place for religious
statements,” McNair said.
“That’s the place for football,
and that’s what I think we need
to be doing.”
McNair is concerned that
last year’s protests had a nega-
tive effect with the fans.
“You could replace all the
owners and the league would
Malcolm, from the day he got
here in rookie minicamp four
years ago, he’s always compet-
ed as hard as he could, he al-
ways is a great competitor on
the field and I totally respect
that,’’ said Belichick when
asked if he agreed with Butler’s
comments.
“I’m not going to get into
last year, I’m not going to get
into next year or some other
year. I talked to Malcolm, I
wished him well in Tennessee.
Obviously, Mike [Vrabel] and
Jon [Robinson] are great peo-
ple, I have a lot of respect for
Malcolm and we wish him
well.’’
Belichick also was asked
about Brady and his reaction to
the quarterback acknowledg-
ing he felt “conflicted” about
his career during the “Tom vs
Time” series.
“I’ve had direct conversa-
tions with Tom many times
through a long period of time, I
rely on those conversations
that I have with him directly
rather than something else,’’ he
said. “Tom and I have always
had a good line of communica-
tion, we’ve always been able to
talk directly to each other, I
don’t see that changing, I’ll rely
on those instead of anything
else.’’
As for the player comings
and goings at One Patriot
Place, Belichick said it’s pretty
much been business as usual
this time of year.
“We wish our players well
that moved on and we’re happy
to have acquired the ones that

go on,” he said. “You could re-
place all the players and the
league would go on. But you
can’t replace the fans. If you
don’t have the fans, you’re
dead, so we’ve got to pay atten-
tion to them and make sure
that they know that we respect
our service people, we love our
country.”
McNair added: “We’re going
to deal with it in such a way I
think that people will under-
stand that we want everybody
to respect our country, respect
our flag.”
Giants owner John Mara
said he doesn’t expect any
changes to the policy at these
meetings, but implied that the
NFL needs to do something be-
fore the start of next season,
and expects progress at the
league’s next round of meet-
ings in May.
“I don’t expect any specific
resolution to come out of this
meeting on the anthem policy,”
Mara told reporters. “But I cer-
tainly think it will be dis-
cussed, and some resolution
hopefully will come out of the
May meeting. I don’t think we
can wait longer than that.”

we acquired whether it was
free agency or the three trades
that we made,’’ he said. “Obvi-
ously this an exciting time of
year in the team-building pro-
cess.’’
Belichick has spent a lot of
time of the road recently, at-
tending Pro Days and putting
prospects through the paces.
It’s work and an important part
of the evaluation process, but
it’s also fun for Belichick, who
is about to start his 19th sea-
son as the Patriots head coach.
“I enjoy all the parts of the
process, from the game-plan-
ning and playing in the big
games to evaluating prospects
to bringing in the rookies that
really have never played a prac-
tice in the National Football
League, starting from scratch
from them, seeing them play a
long the way,’’ he said.
Watching those players de-
velop and blossom is one of the
most rewarding benefits of
coaching.
“I enjoy all the processes,
the beginning part, the bring-
ing them in, the growing with
them, and working with them

Watson breezes to
title in Match Play
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bubba Watson made the fi-
nal of the Dell Technologies
Match Play look as though he
were on vaca-
GOLF tion all along.
ROUNDUP
Watson
won his sec-
ond World Golf Champion-
ships title Sunday in Austin,
Texas, with a 7-and-6 victory
over Kevin Kisner, the biggest
blowout since the champion-
ship matched switched to 18
holes in 2011.
Watson wasn’t as sharp as
he was in the semifinals
against Justin Thomas, whom
he beat in 16 holes to deny
Thomas going to No. 1 in the
world ranking. He didn’t have
to be in the final. If not for
missing a 4-foot birdie putt on
the par-5 sixth, Watson would
have won the first seven holes.
Kisner had a lot to do with
that. After escaping in 19
holes against Alex Noren in his
semifinal match, Kisner didn’t
put up much of a fight. He
made four straight bogeys and
only twice on the front nine
was putting for birdie.
Watson had scheduled a
family vacation out of the
country on Sunday, which he
had to postpone. Watson fig-
ured he hardly ever makes it
this far in golf ’s most fickle
format, so it was a good prob-
lem to have.
There was nothing fickle
about his game, especially on
the final day.
Watson never trailed in the
28 holes he played Sunday,
and he was never seriously
threatened.
The tougher match was
against Thomas, the PGA
champion who needed only to
reach the championship
match to replace Dustin John-
son at No. 1 in the world. Wat-
son went out to a 3-up lead on
the fro n t nine , and when
Thomas closed to 1 down at
the turn with his first birdie
putt, Watson won two of the
next three holes to regain con-
trol. Thomas didn’t make an-
other birdie until the par-5
16th, and by then it was too
late. Watson made his birdie
from 3 feet for a 3-and-2 victo-
ry.
Thomas said he was too
consumed with what was at
stake in the semifinals.
‘‘I haven’t had such a hard
time not thinking about some-
thing so much,’’ Thomas said.
‘‘I couldn’t stop thinking about
it, to be perfectly honest. And I
think you’re constantly getting
questions about it with the
media. But I need to be men-
tally stronger than that, and
understand that it’s just a
match.’’
Noren beat Thomas in the
consolation match, 5 and 3.

One year after Watson dis-
appeared from among the
elite in golf, he has won his
last two starts. He was No. 117
in the world when he arrived
at Riviera, where he won for
the third time in his career.
With his 11th victory on the
PGA Tour, he now is back up
to No. 21.
And the two-time Masters
champion added his name to
the growing list of contenders
at Augusta National.
‘‘I’m looking forward to it,
and hopefully I can get this fo-
cus and my putter rolling like
it is,’’ Watson said.
Watson played 109 holes
over seven matches, going to
the 18th hole just once when
he halved his match with Ju-
lian Suri on Friday.
In a final match that lacked
any drama, Watson still man-
aged to shed a few tears. His
mother was with him in the
gallery on the weekend, and
they shared a warm embrace
after he made a 7-foot birdie
putt on the 12th hole to win
the match.
‘‘It’s crazy to think about it,’’
Watson said. ‘‘I’ve got two
World Golf Championships,
and two majors. It’s unbeliev-
able to think about that, giving
my mom a hug. Six years old,
having one golf club for a year,
no lessons. I can sit here and
make up stories all day, but it’s
absolutely remarkable that I’m
able to life a trophy like this.’’
As for that vacation?
Watson was cryptic as ever.
‘‘I’m going on vacation to-
morrow, no matter if it’s at
home or wherever it is, it’s va-
cation,’’ he said. ‘‘Golf clothes
will not be seen until next Sat-
urday.’’
PGA — Brice Garnett complet-
ed a wire-to-wire victory for
his first PGA Tour title in the
Corales Puntacana Resort and
Club Championship in Punta
Cana, Dominican Republic.
The 34-year-old Garnett, a
two-time winner last year on
the Web.com Tour, finished at
18-under 270. He opened with
a 63 and added rounds of 69
and 70.
LPGA — Eun-Hee Ji of Korea
shot a final-round 67, high-
lighted by an ace on the par-3
14th, for a four-day aggregate
of 16-under 272 to win the Kia
Classic in Carlsbad, Calif.
Ji, who bogeyed two of her
last four holes, won by two
shots over Christie Kerr (68)
and Lizette Salas (69), who
finished in a two-way tie for
second at 14-under 274.
Champions — Steve Stricker
pulled away on the back nine
to record a three-stroke victo-
ry over Billy Andrade in the
Rapiscan Systems Classic in
Biloxi, Miss., for his second
straight Champions victory.

left (glove) hand and inside the
right post.
“That’s the only spot I shoot, so
. . . ,” said a smiling Marchand,
asked if he was picking a spot with
his offering, “Luckily that went in.
Sometimes they don’t and it’s nice
when they do.”
Marchand’s goal, his 33rd this
season, tied the league record for
OT winners, equaling the mark
reached only by Steven Stamkos
(2011-12), Jonathan Toews (2015-
16), and Alex Galchenyuk (2016-
17). The Bruins, now with 104
points, have eight games remain-
ing in the regular-season for the
L’il Ball o-Hate to set the all-time
league mark.
“I think you get that confidence
a bit,” said Marchand, asked if he
now expects to pot the OT winner.
“I mean, it all has to go right. Guys
have to make plays and you have to
start with the puck a lot . . . we
were able to get it back tonight.
Sometimes you benefit from cer-
tain plays. I think this year I’ve just
been playing with a lot of guys
who’ve made plays and I’ve benefit-
ed from that.”
The Bruins, staked to a 1-0 lead
in the second on David Pastrnak’s
goal, his 30th, were within 10:40 of
lugging a 1-0 win out of the build-
ing.
But a Matt Dumba slapper
through a crowd then helped the
Wild pull even. Dumba’s shot,
tipped on its way toward the net by
Zach Parise, ricocheted off the rear
wall and bounced directly in front,
eluding the sticks of Boston blue-
liners Matt Grzelcyk and Kevan

Miller. An aler t Mikko Koivu
knocked it by Tuukka Rask and the
stage was set for overtime.
The Bruins, now 22-10-5 on the
road this season, will face the Jets
in Winnipeg on Tuesday night to
wrap up the four-game road trip.
The Bruins actually scored
twice in the early going of the sec-
ond period, but only Pastrnak’s re-
mained on the board.
Noel Acciari drove home the
first one, with 2:14 gone, for what
looked like the 1-0 lead. But the on-
ice officials immediately huddled
up, reached for their Magic 8 Ball
tablets, and ruled that Riley Nash
clipped Stalock just moments be-
fore Acciari unloaded his turn-
around shot from the left wing cir-
cle. Ruling: goalie interference and
. . . no goal.
But only 1:01 later, Pastrnak
cashed in for one that stuck on the
scoreboard. After defenseman

Bergeron sent a no-look pass across
the slot, where Pastrnak drilled
home one of his patented one-time
slappers from just above the left
wing circle. It took 14 shots, but
the Bruins finally were out front.
Bergeron assisted on both goals,
won 61 percent of his faceoffs, and
finished with 19:08 in ice time, on-
ly six seconds short of what he av-
eraged all season before missing a
month with a fractured bone in his
right foot.
“Didn’t look like he’d missed
much time,” said coach Bruce
Cassidy. “A couple of shifts he prob-
ably was fatigued at times, you
know, without battling you lose
that part . . . not your legs but the
battle part will here you out. But I
thought he came through it very
well.”
Pastrnak now has reached the
30-goal plateau in back-to-back
years. Marchand has done it now
for three straight seasons.
Later in the second, it was the
Wild’s turn to have a goal denied,
with only 8:59 gone in the period.
Amid a scrum in the crease, Jason
Zucker made an easy forehand pot
at the right post, and the crowd of
19,183 was in a frenzy.
But the goal was immediately
denied, one of the refs immediately
blowing the play dead when he lost
sight of the puck under Rask’s
pads. Zucker’s shot came only a
split second after the play has been
whistled down.
The Bruins now move on to
Winnipeg with the No. 1 spot in
the conference within reach.
“It’s fun to compete, that is the
nature of the game,” said March-
and. “We are all competitors and
28 we all love to win and at the end of
25
the day our main goal is to be paly-
ing good hockey going into thep-
layoffs . . . if we get there, we get
there [to the No. 1 spot]. If not,
we’ll play who’ll we play and hope-
fully we’ ll be palying well tthat
time.”

thought he did well defensively. When
you get back on the court after a couple
of weeks, and you have to guard some
of those cuts, you have to be on your
toes and be ready to go, and he did a
good job after that first stint.”
Brown started in place of forward
Marcus Morris, who missed Sunday’s
game because of a sore ankle. Morris
had been carrying Boston’s offense re-
cently, including his 30-point perfor-
mance in Friday’s win over the Trail
Blazers. But Stevens said he does not
expect Morris to be sidelined for long.
“It’s a little more conservative ap-
proach, especially with a back-to-back
[in Phoenix on Monday],” Stevens said.
“So I don’t know if [Morris will] play
tomorrow or not, but it sounds like
he’ll be back sooner rather than later.”

Rozier helps Celtics roll over Kings

uCELTICS
Continued from Page C1
falling one short of tying Boston’s sin-
gle-game franchise record. He did not
attempt a 3-pointer over the final eight
minutes of the game, and he said he
was unaware he was so close to making
history. If he had known, he said with a
smile, he would have fired up at least
five more.
“My confidence level is sky high,”
Rozier said. “Obviously I put a lot of
work in for myself, but a lot of credit
goes to my teammates and coaches, be-
cause they believe in me every game
and they make it happen, from getting
me open, drawing up plays and stuff
like that. So my job is easy. All I’ve got
to do is try to make the shot.”
The Celtics welcomed back an im-
portant piece Sunday, as Jaylen Brown
returned after being sidelined since
March 8 because of a concussion. He
had three fouls and three turnovers
during his first six-minute stint, but
then regained his rhythm quite quickly,
finishing with 19 points on 6-of-10
shooting.
Brown’s injury occurred when he
took a hard fall after completing a two-
handed slam in the third quarter of the
Celtics’ road win over the Timber-
wolves. The athletic, ferocious dunker
later said that his mother had asked
him to stop dunking. He made no
promises there, but had planned to
ease back into things.
Then this game began, and Brown
threw down three dunks. But one fast-
break opportunity — the one most sim-
ilar to the one on which he was injured,
he elected to go up for a layup.
“That’s probably what I’m going to
say [to my mom],” Brown said. “Like,
‘Hey you saw that one, right, Mom? I
could have [dunked] but I didn’t.’”
Although the Celtics added Brown,
they lost forward Marcus Morris for at
least this game, as he sat out with a
sore ankle. Morris had carried the of-
fense in several games recently, but this
team once again showed that it can
scrape out wins regardless of its avail-
able personnel.
“We have a team full of guys that are
resilient,” Brown said. “All year guys

Ugly win by Villanova
something to behold
uGASPER
Continued from Page C1
the nation’s top scoring team at
87 points per game, in the East
Regi onal fin al on Sunday.
Coach Jay Wright and Co., don’t
care because cutting down the
nets is always a thing of beauty.
Villanova advanced to the
Final Four for the second time
in three seasons with a 71-59
victory over Texas Tech on Sun-
day at TD Garden that won’t be
residing in the Philadelphia
Museum of Art any time soon.
This wasn’t Villanova’s usual
artful offensive display, replete
with brushstrokes of basketball
brilliance. It was a performance
that was more reminiscent of
the fictional Philadelphia pugi-
list whose statue sits by the
steps of that museum, Rocky
Balboa.
With their offense failing to
ignite, ’Nova grinded its way to
the Final Four with grit, deter-
mination, and straitjacket de-
fense that would have made
late ’Nova coach Rollie Mas-
simino proud. In the process, it
burnished its case as the most
complete team left in the tour-
nament.
In three days and two games
here in the Hub, Villanova
proved it can win by any means
necessary — from overwhelm-
ing offense against West Virgin-
ia in the Sweet 16 to relentless
rebounding and defense
against Texas Tech. With its sar-
torially splendid coach and
high-end offense, Villanova can
be confused for a fancy, finer-
things team. Being able to win
in Hard Rock hoops fashion,
the top-seeded Wildcats
showed why they might be
whipping out the scissors again
in San Antonio.
The great teams, the ones
worthy of a championship, can
beat you at their game or yours.
Villanova beat Texas Tech,
which entered the regional final
ranked 10th in the country in
defensive rating, allowing 93.9
points per 100 possessions,
playing on Tech’s terms and the
Red Raiders’ pace.
Playing with heavy legs and
hard-nosed attitudes, Villanova
flashed championship mettle,
holding Texas Tech to its lowest
shooting percentage of the sea-
son (33.3).
“It’s the character of these
guys. They don’t judge them-
selves by whether their shots
are going in or whether they
look pretty,” said Wright, who is
chasing his second national ti-
tle in three seasons. “They play
for each other.”
Making its first Elite Eight
appearance, third-seeded Texas
Tech turned the game into a
rock fight — or more accurately
a brick battle. The symphony of
movement and execution that
is usually Villanova’s offense
was reduced to the discordant
cacophony of clangs and crash-
ing bodies.
Villanova also shot a season-
low 33.3 percent from the floor
— its lowest shooting percent-
age in a game since a loss to
Oklahoma on Dec. 7, 2015 —
including 30 percent in the sec-
ond half. The team that had hit
more 3-pointers than any in the
country coming into the game
(432) connected for just 4 in 24
attempts, including 2 of 15 in
the second half. The TD Garden
rims were wishing for Marcus
Smart’s return.
The Wildcats were saved by
their defense and substantial
advantages on the boards and
at the free throw line. Villanova
outrebounded Texas Tech, 51-
33, finishing with a season-high
20 offensive rebounds.
This could have been in part
because of how many unchar-
acteristic misses there were to
rebound, but let’s look at the
bright side and give ’Nova cred-
it. The Wildcats shot 29 of 35
from the line and Texas Tech
was 14 of 18 with 13 of those at-
JIM DAVIS/GLOBE STAFF
tempts coming in the second
half.
Chris Beard, the nomadic,
energetic, and superstitious
coach of Texas Tech, said that
the nation’s best offensive team
unspooled one of the toughest
defenses his team has encoun-
tered.
“You think it’s their 3-point
shooting, their small ball, their
athleticism, but by far their
identity is their toughness,” said
Beard. “It’s one of the toughest
teams we played this year. They
outrebounded us. I thought
they demanded fouls on their
end, and we just didn’t get to
the free throw line as much as
we needed to. Ultimately, we’re
a no-excuse program . . . But the
story is Villanova and their
toughness. I think that’s their
identity.”
When you’re 34-4, your
identity is being a winner,
whether you do it with basket-
ball pulchritude or pugnacity.
This was a markedly differ-
ent win for Villanova than its
first three victories in this
NCAA Tournament. The Wild-
cats came in shooting 47.8 per-
cent from 3-point range in the
tournament, bombarding Rad-
ford (14 3-pointers), Alabama
(17 3-pointers), and West Vir-
ginia (13 3-pointers). They had
topped 80 points in all of their
previous NCAA Tournament
games.
On Friday, they shot the
lights out in the second half to
pull away from West Virginia,
connecting on 7 of 11 3-point-
ers.
So, shooting 17 percent
from 3-point range isn’t part of
their game plan.
“We were definitely strug-
gling from the outside, but we
grinded on the defensive end
and that’s what helped us pull
this one out, us just grinding on
the defensive end,” said Villano-
va guard Jalen Brunson, who
led ’Nova with 15 points on 4-
of-14 shooting.
“And not really worrying
about our shots falling or not,
just trying to get easy baskets in
transition and just really trying
to stick together.”
After trailing, 36-23, at the
half, the Red Raiders tested Vil-
lanova’s resolve and their com-
posure in the second 20 min-
utes.
With ’Nova up, 52-44, big
man Omari Spellman, a hero of
the Sweet 16 win over West Vir-
ginia, was whistled for a ques-
tionable fourth personal foul
with 6:29 to go attempting to
corral an offensive rebound.
Texas Tech’s Brandone Francis
hit a 3-pointer with 6:06 to go
to pull the Red Raiders within 5
at 52-47.
The path was being paved
for ’Nova’s ouster.
Villanova then went 4 min-
utes and 58 seconds without al-
lowing another field goal. Se-
n i o r g u a r d K e e n a n Ev a n s
(team-high 12 points) broke the
West Texas-worthy drought
with a jumper that cut ’Nova’s
lead to 63-55 with 1:08 left. Too
late.
Villanova hardly lit it up. Its
only made baskets during that
dry stretch came on a layup by
Phil Booth off a block by Eric
Paschall, a follow dunk by Don-
te DiVincenzo (12 big points),
and a layup out of a timeout by
Brunson. But the Wildcats stiff-
armed Texas Tech.
“It means a lot to us, just to
know that we could tough out a
game like that,” said Paschall,
who embodied ’Nova’s effort
with 12 points and a career-
high 14 rebounds, six offensive.
Beauty is in the eye of the be-
holder. Villanova looked really
good “winning ugly” to advance
to the Final Four.

NCAA EAST REGIONAL NOTEBOOK
Brunson displays some magic
By Julian Benbow
GLOBE STAFF
Villanova coach Jay Wright
didn’t realize the secret skill
set Jalen Brunson was hiding
until a couple summers ago
during a defensive drill.
The exercise was designed
to focus on post defense, rotat-
ing players in and out to guard
on the block. In theory,
Brunson should have just been
a stand-in on offense. But he
put his entire repertoire of
post moves on display.
“We were watching him,
and coaches, all of us just said,
‘Whoa, he’s the best post play-
er we’ve seen in a long time
with his footwork,’ ” Wright
said. “So we said we got to
take advantage of that.”
Although Brunson went
just 4 of 14 in the Wildcats’ 71-
59 Elite Eight win over Texas
Tech on Sunday at TD Garden,
he made key shots and created
more for teammates by per-
forming surgery in the post.
He hit fadeaways rolling off
either shoulder. He drew fouls,
drawing mismatches on pick-
and-rolls and taking advan-
tage of defenders on an island.
He scanned the floor and
found teammates for open
looks.
“It was like watching Magic
Johnson back down,” said Tex-
Villanova guard Donte DiVincenzo hit only 1 of 6 from 3-point range, but his work up close left nothing to be desired.
Villanova pulls out all the stops in win

it’s going to take time.”
The question was if the
Wildcats could, midway
through the season, become a
team as driven by getting stops
as they were by getting buckets.
“We were not a good defen-
sive team most of the year,”
Wright said. “Some things we
didn’t do well as a staff early
with this team that we normally
do. At some point, we said we
had to go back to the basics de-
fensively.
“We were afraid we might
run out of time,” Wright said.
“We had to keep practicing to
get better defensively and re-
bounding-wise.”
In a 71-59 win over Texas
Tech on Sunday at TD Garden
that punched Villanova’s ticket
to the Final Four for the second
time in three years, the Wild-
cats watched that process come
full circle.
The Red Raiders dragged
them into a rock fight — cutting
off the 3-point line and forcing
the Wildcats to play ugly. Vil-
lanova accepted the challenge,
grinding out a win that was as
ugly as it was satisfying.
“We played a really tough
basketball team that had us
scouted extremely well, took
away our threes, really tested
our ability to play tough and ug-
ly,” Wright said. “I think that
was their game plan. I think
[ Te x a s Te c h c o a c h ] C h r i s
[Beard] did a great job with it,
and our guys responded. I was
really proud of them.”

NCAA MEN’S ROUNDUP
Kansas’s Malik Newman draws a foul from Duke’s Wendell Carter Jr. on an overtime drive.
Newman rules in OT,
gets Kansas past Duke
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas is going back to the
Final Four.
It’s hard to argue that Duke
shouldn’t be headed there as
well after the most riveting
show of the NCAA Tournament.
Malik Newman and the top-
seeded Jayhawks got past their
Elite Eight road block Sunday
in Omaha, Neb., knocking off
second-seeded Duke, 85-81, in
overtime to clinch the pro-
gram’s first trip to the Final
Four since 2012.
Newman scored all 13 of the
Jayhawks’ points in OT and fin-
ished with a career-high 32 to
lead Kansas (31-7).
The Jayhawks will face fel-
low top seed Villanova on Sat-
urday in San Antonio — the site
of KU’s last title over Memphis
in 2008 — after snapping a two-
game losing skid in the regional
finals.
‘‘Ever ything we’ ve been
through . . . we do it for mo-
ments like this,’’ Kansas star
Devonte’ Graham said. ‘‘Espe-
cially after the last two years,
getting over the hump. It just
feels [perfect].’’
This was college basketball
at its best, two blue bloods trad-
ing blows for 45 minutes in
what was arguably the best
game of March so far, one that
featured 18 lead changes and
11 ties.
Had Grayson Allen’s bank
shot to end regulation gone half
an inch in a different direction,
it might be Duke heading to
South Texas.
NCAA WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT
UConn seeks Final Four berth
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Geno Auriemma has built a
program at UConn over the
past two decades where any-
thing less than winning a na-
tional championship is consid-
ered a failure.
That’s what happens when
you win 11 titles in 22 years.
The undefeated Huskies will
face defending champion South
Carolina on Monday night in
the finals of the NCAA’s Albany
Regional with a trip to the Final
Four at stake.
‘‘The expectation level is so
high, but we created it,’’ said
Auriemma, who is trying to
reach a record 11th straight Fi-
nal Four. ‘‘Believe me, I’m far
from complaining.’’
T he Ha ll of Fa m e c oa ch
joked that if the Huskies don’t
win a championship this season
after falling short last year he’ll
have to move and start shop-
ping at different places. If they
don’t beat South Carolina on
Monday night they may not be
allowed back in the state.
That said, the Huskies don’t
feel any added pressure facing
the Gamecocks as they are used
to it.
‘‘The day you sign your letter
of intent, every game you play.
There’s no getting around that,’’
Auriemma said of the pressure
his team constantly faces. ‘‘Ev-
erywhere we go when people
play us, we’re playing Connecti-
cut. That’s what these kids live
with every day.’’
CHARLIE NEIBERGALL/ASSOCIATED PRESS
But it didn’t, and instead the
Jayhawks are moving on.
‘‘It was an honor to play in
this game,’’ said Duke coach
Mi ke Kr z y z e w s k i , w h o r e -
mained tied with UCLA legend
John Wooden with 12 Final
Four performances. ‘‘I think
both teams were deserving of
winning.’’
Newman, a redshirt sopho-
more who came on late this sea-
son, drilled his fifth and final
three from the corner to make it
81-78 with 1:49 left. Newman
followed with four straight free
throws, and the Jayhawks’ de-
fense stiffened enough to knock
the favored Blue Devils out of
the tournament.
Tre von Duval scored 20
points, two shy of a career high,
for Duke. Freshman star and fu-
ture lottery pick Marvin Bagley
added 16 points and 10 re-
bounds in what could have
been his final game for the Blue
Devils (29-8), who fell shy of
their first Final Four trip since
winning the national title in
2015.
Allen had 12 points for the
Blue Devils, but the senior’s try
at the regulation buzzer went in
and then out and then off the
rim before spinning away to
force overtime.
‘‘I was trying to drive right,
he cut me off. Went back left.
Their big stepped into help. I
had to get a shot up over him. I
tried to bank it in and it about
went in,’’ said Allen, who fin-
ished his brilliant career with
1,996 points.
The Albany Regional final
will pit the past two NCAA
champions, which is a rare oc-
currence. It’s the first time the
previous two national champi-
ons have me t in the NCA A
Tournament since 1997 when
UConn faced Tennessee.
‘‘You’ve got the defending
champs versus the ones been
keeping the trophy in the case
for a while,’’ South Carolina star
A’ja Wilson said. ‘‘It definitely
does feel like one of thos e
games and I think Albany has a
great atmosphere. It’s a lot of
blue up here.’’
Albany led attendance in the
Sweet 16 with more than
10,000 fans coming to watch
Friday’s semifinals. More than
8,500 tickets were sold as of
Saturday afternoon for Monday
night’s game.
The Huskies had their 111-
game winning streak and run of
four straight titles end in the Fi-
nal Four last year with a loss to
Mississippi State. The Game-
cocks went on to beat their SEC
rival for the title.
‘‘They are just a team that’s
on a mission,’’ South Carolina
coach Dawn Stale y said of
UConn. ‘‘ They ’re probably
more hungry than they’ve ever
been because they didn’t win
the national championship last
year, but that also puts them in
a place in which it is unfamiliar
for them. They’re used to being
the defending national champi-
ons.’’

G l o b e
FBI investigation
pushed NCAA to react
Gary Washburn
ON BASKETBALL
For now, it appears Loyola
of Chicago has saved the sanc-
tity of college basketball with
its miraculous run to the Final
Four. March Madness has com-
pelled the American sports fan.
College basketball, for a couple
of weeks, is pure and right.
But the NCAA Tournament
will end and president Mark
Emmert will have to tackle
myriad issues, including an
FBI investigation that led to in-
dictments of several coaches
for paying recruits or taking
money from agents to send
players to particular agencies
when they turned professional.
It has stained the reputa-
tion of college basketball and
turned Emmert into an embat-
tled leader of a sport that many
observers believe needs a ma-
jor overhaul and cleansing.
Emmert was in Boston on
Sunday to witness Villanova
advance to the Final Four with
a 71-59 victory over Texas Tech
at TD Garden and acknowl-
edged college basketball needs
to improve.
“It absolutely does, especial-
ly given the FBI investigation,”
he said. “That’s shined a very
big light, a very bright light on
some elements of this that are
really disturbing. You know
those rumors have always been
swirling around out there for
years. But this just laid it out in
pretty stark relief. You can’t de-
ny it now. I think in the long
run that’s going to be very posi-
tive because it’s forcing every-
one in college sports to con-
front it.”
Emmert said a commission
led by former secretary of state
Condoleezza Rice is research-
ing the FBI findings, as well as
other issues such as the NCAA’s
relationship with the NBA and
whether the NCAA acts appro-
priately in the enforcement of
eligibility of its student-ath-
letes.
The NCAA has been ac-
cused of being too harsh on
athletes for minor violations
while allowing chaos to occur

gave us a little fuel. But we
came ready to play. We knew
what we were up against. Just
played Michigan hockey.”
Everyone knew what Michi-
gan hockey was under the leg-
endary Red Berenson, who’d
coached 33 years at Ann Arbor
and won two national titles be-
fore retiring after last season.
They weren’t sure how it would
be under Pearson, his longtime
assistant who’d been at Michi-
gan Tech for the last six years.
“The expectations weren’t
very high,” acknowledged Pear-
son, whose charges started off
7-7-2. “Even Christmas it may-
be didn’t look good.”
The Wolverines won seven
in a row before losing to Ohio
State in the conference tourna-
ment. And they had BU chasing
the game from the moment
that Quinn Hughes scored at
5:12 of the first period.
A f t e r Jo r da n G re e nw ay
equalized at 12:26, the Wolver-
ines dumped the Terriers into a
with recruiting in its money-
generating sports. Schools such
as Oklahoma State, Louisville,
and Southern California were
forced to suspend athletes or
coaches who may have been in-
volved in the FBI sting.
Why did it take an FBI in-
vestigation to expose the NCAA
problems? Emmert has been
accused of being too lax when
it comes to the problems in the
major-revenue sports of bas-
ketball and football. But Em-
mert said the NCAA lacks the
tools to correctly investigate it-
self, especially compared with
the FBI.
“I don’t think it’s an unfair
criticism because the reality is
a lot of people don’t know . . .
the NCAA is a collection of
1,100 schools and those
schools engage in self-polic-
ing,” he said. “Because we’re an
association, we don’t have sub-
poena power. We don’t have
wiretaps. We don’t have sting
operations. We can’t compel a
witness to talk if he’s not part
of a university, and the FBI has
all those tools. So when people
say, ‘Well, the NCAA should
have known about this’ . . .
that’s easy to say and hard to
do when you don’t have those
tools.
“Our tools are like an inves-
tigative reporters’ tools. That’s
the silver lining here. The FBI
has laid out some facts that
while they’re difficult to look
at, have to be acknowledged
and have to be acted on. That’s
on us now. That’s our task.”
Emmert is thinking more
progressively than perhaps he
did in the past. He said that if a
basketball recruit has no inter-
est in attending college, he
shouldn’t. The NCAA is unhap-
py with the one-and-done rule,
and the NCAA wants to rid it-
self of the issues created by re-
cruits who are only going to
college because they have no
better alternative to getting to
the NBA.
“With basketball, I think
that the young man who wants
to play professionally, [and]
that’s all they want, they don’t
really want to go to college . . .
there needs to be some better
hole with goals by Calderone at
15:21 and a fluke at 1:57 of the
second by Brendan Warren,
who tapped the puck into the
open side of the net after it had
bounced off the end boards and
then off Oettinger.
“It kind of woke us up when
they started scoring goals,” said
Hickey. “You go down two at
that point, you’ve got to start
doing something. Otherwise
the game’s going to get away
from you.”
After Patrick Curry scored
on a wraparound at 11:08 and
Drew Melanson jumped on a
turnover for a backhander from
the slot at 3:30 of the third, the
Terriers were back in business.
So the Wolverines get to join
their basketball colleagues in
the NCAA semifinals for the
first time since 1993 and play in
what will be the first all-West
Frozen Four since they last
qualified seven years ago. And
the Terriers, who’ve had five

choices for them. If they want
to go right into the professional
ranks, that opportunity really
needs to be available for them.
And if they want to go to col-
lege and they want to develop
their basketball prowess while
they are getting their degree,
great, we’ve got a great deal for
them and they can do that and
for those tiny few that can go
off and play professionally,
good for them.
“We’ve got 5,500 young
men playing Division 1 basket-
ball. Of those 5,500 in any one
year, there will be a dozen,
maybe 25 at the most if you
count upperclassmen, that will
go out and play professional
ball. We write the rules for the
5,500, not for the 25. Those 25
or so, they do need career
choices and we’re very support-
ive of that.”
There has been dozens of
ideas circulated about how to
compensate college athletes so
they aren’t tempted to take
payments from agents or get
involved in the seedy side of
amateur athletics. But the idea
of giving salaries to athletes is
not even close to being consid-
ered.
Amateur athletics, for as
much money as it produced for
the schools and coaches, will
remain amateur, at least for
the athletes, regardless of how
much they are tempted by
those who don’t exactly respect
the “purity” of college sports.
“There’s virtually no interest
among university leaders for
moving to a model that con-
verts student-athletes to em-
ployees,” Emmert said. “I just
can’t envision that happening,
even though a lot of people talk
about it. But we do need to
make sure we’re constantly
providing students everything
they need to be successful, as
students, as athletes, helping
them with their career, doing
all of that, but turning them in-
to employees is not in the
cards.”
