A Budget Nod
To the Reality
For Workers
Obama’s Plan Intends
To Ease Economic Fear
By NOAM SCHEIBER
WASHINGTON — At the cen-
ter of the final budget of Presi-
dent Obama’s term is a conces-
sion that the major macroeco-
nomic trends of the past two gen-
erations — particularly the loss of
benefits that once went with for-
mal employment relationships —
are largely irreversible.
In laying out proposals from
improving access to 401(k) plans
to supplementing the incomes of
workers who accept lower wages
after losing jobs, the president
laid out a clear, if limited, view of
government’s role in the labor
market. Inside the budget is a de-
tailed agenda to ease the anxi-
eties of workers weighed down
by job insecurity and income vol-
atility.
Those anxieties are among the
factors that propelled two popu-
list candidates to victory in the
New Hampshire presidential pri-
maries on Tuesday.
Mr. Obama’s approach has
clear advantages at a moment
when Republicans control both
chambers of Congress, and when
the business community has
made clear its opposition to a
greater government role in the
economy.
But it falls well short of the cru-
sading vision of government in-
tervention ascendant in the Dem-
ocratic Party through the cam-
paign of Senator Bernie Sanders
of Vermont, who won the party’s
New Hampshire primary. He has
proposed an increase in Social
Security benefits and support for
more than 13 million jobs by
spending $1 trillion on infrastruc-
ture over five years.
The proposed expansion of So-
cial Security alone would cost
more than $100 billion over 10
years, then rise substantially af-
ter that.
“These are policies that broad-
ly accept the extent to which
risks have shifted onto working
people and they try to mitigate
the impact of those risks,” Jared
Bernstein, a former top economic
adviser to Vice President Joseph
R. Biden Jr., said about the presi-
dent’s proposals. “They have not
viewed it as their job to try to
change the underlying shifts in
risks.”
With the left invigorated by the
campaign to succeed Mr. Obama,
such assurances may fall flat
with wide swaths of Democrats.
“The president has some good
messaging proposals that would
have a positive impact,” said

Ride Working-Class Anger to Victories

By PATRICK HEALY and JONATHAN MARTIN
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Don-
ald J. Trump and Senator Bernie
Sanders of Vermont harnessed
working-class fury on Tuesday to
surge to commanding victories in
a New Hampshire primary that
drew a huge turnout across the
state.
The success by two outsider
candidates dealt a remarkable re-
buke to the political establish-
ment, and all but guaranteed pro-
tracted, bruising races for each
party’s presidential nomination.

Backers Stayed With Trump
As He Regained His Bearings
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
MANCHESTER, N.H. — After
losing the Iowa caucuses, Donald
J. Trump acted like a heavy-
weight champion who had just
been knocked down.
He lurched from one event to
another, sounding defiant one
moment and humbled the next.
He went uncharacteristically si-
lent for most of a day on Twitter,
and barely mentioned his polling
numbers after months of brag-
ging about them.
But Mr. Trump’s convincing
victory in New Hampshire on
Tuesday finally validated those
numbers and gave the irrepress-
ible celebrity candidate the sta-
tus his opponents long feared, as
a bona fide leader in the race for

nomination.

ments that might have destroyed

proached 60 percent.
The win for Mr. Sanders
amounted to a powerful and pain-
ful rejection of Hillary Clinton,
who has a deep history with New
Hampshire voters and offered
policy ideas that seemed to re-
flect the flinty, moderate politics
of the state. But Mr. Sanders, who
has proposed an emphatically lib-
eral agenda to raise taxes and im-
pose regulations on Wall Street,
drew support from a wide cross-
section of voters, even edging her
out among women, boosted by
his appeal among the young.
At his victory party, Mr. Sand-
ers, flashing a wide, toothy grin,
pointed to the large voter turnout
as evidence that only he could en-
ergize the Democratic electorate
to defeat the Republicans in No-
vember.

ers mostly appeared to have
made up their minds months ago,
and never wavered.
“Wow, wow, wow,” he said as
he took the stage at his victory
party Tuesday night, his family
alongside him.
As supporters waved foam fin-
gers reading “You’re hired!” and
“Make America Great Again!,”
Mr. Trump seemed to have re-
captured his pre-Iowa bravado,
virtually guaranteeing great
trade deals and a military “so big,
so strong and so powerful, no-
body is going to mess with us.”
After beating some of the Re-
publican Party’s brightest stars
in New Hampshire following a
second-place finish in Iowa, Mr.
Trump heads into a string of pri-
maries in conservative Southern
states in a position of strength.
For a man used to setting the
terms of whatever debate he is
having, Mr. Trump’s win on Tues-
day keeps him in the race for the

Justices Deal Blow to Obama Effort on Emissions Oil Patch Deals With New Threat: Rising Debt
By ADAM LIPTAK
and CORAL DAVENPORT
WASHINGTON — In a major
setback for President Obama’s
climate change agenda, the Su-
preme Court on Tuesday tempo-
rarily blocked the administra-
tion’s effort to combat global
warming by regulating emissions
from coal-fired power plants.
The brief order was not the last
word on the case, which is most
likely to return to the Supreme
Court after an appeals court con-
siders an expedited challenge
from 29 states and dozens of cor-
porations and industry groups.
But the Supreme Court’s will-

Coal-Fired Plants,

ingness to issue a stay while the
case proceeds was an early hint
that the program could face a
skeptical reception from the jus-
tices.
The 5-to-4 vote, with the
court’s four liberal members dis-
senting, was unprecedented —
the Supreme Court had never be-
fore granted a request to halt a
regulation before its legal fate
had been decided.
“It’s a stunning development,”
Jody Freeman, a Harvard law
professor and former environ-
mental legal counsel to the Oba-
ma administration, said in an
email. She added that “the order
certainly indicates a high degree
of initial judicial skepticism from
five justices on the court,” and
that the ruling would raise seri-
ous questions from nations that
signed on to the landmark Paris
climate change pact in Decem-
ber.
In negotiating that deal, which
commits every country to enact
policies to lower emissions, Mr.
Obama pointed to the power

MIDLAND, Tex. — On the 15th
floor of an office tower in Midland
looms a five-foot trophy black
bear, shot by the son of an execu-
tive at Caza Oil & Gas.
But it is Caza that has recently
fallen prey to a different kind of
predator stalking the Texas oil
patch: too much debt.
While crude prices have
dropped more than 70 percent
over the last 20 months, a reckon-
ing in the nation’s vast oil industry
has only just begun. Until recently,
companies were able to ride out
the slump using hedges to sell

their oil for higher than the low
market prices.
In recent months, however,
most of those hedges expired,
leaving a number of oil companies
low on cash and unable to pay
their debt. More broadly, energy
executives and their lenders are
realizing that a recovery in oil
prices is at least a year away, too
long for many companies to hold
out.
Energy executives and their
bankers are bracing for a pro-
longed downturn that could re-
make the energy industry in a
way not seen since the turmoil of
the late 1990s gave rise to mega-
mergers like Exxon Mobil.
If prices hold at such low levels
— oil traded near $28 on Tuesday
— as many as 150 oil and gas com-
panies could file for bankruptcy,
according to IHS, an energy re-
search firm.
While that represents a rela-
tively small slice of the overall in-
dustry, hundreds of other compa-
nies piled on debt to grow from
tiny start-ups into significant

Lawmakers Rekindle Debate on Israel’s Arabs
By ISABEL KERSHNER
JERUSALEM — The debate
about national identity among Is-
rael’s Arab minority and its rep-
resentatives in Parliament burst
out again after three Arab law-
makers met recently with the
families of Palestinians killed by
Israeli forces when they attacked
Jews.
The lawmakers, members of
the Balad faction of the Knesset,
or Parliament, were censured
this week by the legislature.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netan-
yahu said they had overstepped
the boundaries of appropriate be-
havior, declaring from the podi-
um of Parliament, “There is such
a thing as national pride.”
A leading Arab lawmaker sug-
gested that such questions of
pride were not so single-minded
for him and his colleagues.
“We are Arab Palestinians, and
we are also Israeli citizens,”
Ayman Odeh, the leader of the
Joint List of predominantly Arab
parties, said. “There is always
tension between the two identi-
ties.”
The controversy over the law-
makers’ meetings exposed again
the inherent frictions and com-
plex emotions dividing Israel’s
Jewish majority and its Arab citi-
zens, who make up about a fifth
of the country’s population of
more than eight million. The
Arab lawmakers and many of
their constituents identify them-
selves as Palestinians in terms of
nationality, while they are afford-
ed the rights of citizenship in the
Jewish state. The country’s con-
servative government, which
holds a slim majority in Parlia-
ment, has said it recognizes the
importance of integrating Arab
citizens, but bristles when Arab
Israelis identify closely with the
Palestinian cause.
The absence of any substantive
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks
and the recent surge in Palestin-
ian stabbing and shooting attacks
against Israelis have only com-
Rick Gladstone contributed re-
porting from New York.

Reconciliation in a Palace of Henry VIII
First Catholic Service at Hampton Court in More Than 450 Years
By KIMIKO DE FREYTAS-TAMURA
LONDON — “Henry VIII will
be spinning in his grave!” said
the headline in The Daily Mail, a
British tabloid.
Hampton Court Palace, where
the Tudor king, Henry, broke off
ties with the papacy in 1530 just
to divorce his first wife and mar-
ry his mistress — with whom he
was besotted and whom he later
beheaded — on Tuesday held its
first Roman Catholic service in
more than 450 years.
During the service, held in the
palace’s Chapel Royal, chants in
Latin from an 18-person choir
swelled up toward turquoise ceil-
ings, adorned with golden stars
and gilded cherubs. Around 350
attendees were packed into tiny
wooden pews.
A procession of altar boys and
priests solemnly made its way to-
ward the front of the chapel as
the scent of incense wafted
across the ancient hall. The Medi-
eval Latin chants date to before
the Protestant Reformation,
when they were heard through-
out churches in Europe.
The service symbolized in part
a growing reconciliation between
the Church of England and the
Roman Catholic Church. Both are
grappling with internal divisions,
including a battle over homosex-
uality, and the service came as
several high-profile figures, in-

pounded the political pressure
and raised the public’s anxiety.
Israeli Jews were particularly
incensed at reports that the Arab
lawmakers had stood for a mo-
ment of silence, suggesting sym-
pathy and support for the Pales-
tinian assailants. The lawmakers
said that they had been reciting
the Fatiha, a prayer that Muslims
offer on the occasion of any
death, and that their meetings
had been humanitarian missions
to discuss terms under which the
Israeli authorities might release
the assailants’ bodies for burial.
The Parliament’s ethics com-
mittee voted late Monday to sus-
pend two of the lawmakers,
Hanin Zoabi and Basel Ghattas,
from plenary sessions and com-
mittee hearings for four months
for meeting with the families of
attackers whom the Israeli gov-
ernment brands as terrorists. A
third Arab lawmaker, Jamal
Zahalka, was punished for two
months. The lawmakers — all
from the Balad faction, one of the
parties occupying the Joint List’s
13 seats in the 120-member Par-
liament — will still be allowed to
participate in votes.

Minister Tony Blair, have left the
Anglican Church. (In 2011, a ban
on a British monarch’s marrying
a Roman Catholic was lifted after
more than three centuries, but
Roman Catholics are still barred
from taking the throne.)
For his part, Pope Francis an-
nounced changes last year that
were intended to make it easier
for Roman Catholics to obtain an-
nulments and remarry within the
church, and he will soon meet
with the head of the Russian Or-
thodox Church in what will be the
first meeting between leaders of
the two churches in almost 1,000
years.
Amid the backdrop of change
in both churches, the pope’s per-
sonal preacher, Raniero Cantala-
messa, led a prayer at Westmin-
ster Abbey in the presence of
Queen Elizabeth II in November.
He told his audience in London
that Roman Catholics should cel-
ebrate Protestantism and “bene-
fit from its achievements.”
The schism dates to 1534, when
Henry VIII declared himself the
head of the Church of England.
The split allowed Henry to leap-
frog from one marriage to an-
other in search of a male heir: He
annulled two marriages and had
two of his other wives executed,

mer mistress for whom he had

Mr. Netanyahu, speaking in

are in favor of the integration of
Israel’s Arab citizens into society,
the economy and the state.”
In fact, the Israeli government
recently announced a roughly
$2.5 billion five-year investment
plan for Israel’s Arab sector, an
effort to narrow the gaps be-
tween Jewish and Arab citizens.
But Mr. Netanyahu added Mon-
day: “We are not willing to ac-
cept a situation in which mem-
bers of the Knesset support the
families of people who murder Is-
raeli citizens. There is a limit.”

among other things, that the Pal-

This month, Ms. Zoabi was

Ms. Zoabi lashed out on Tues-

Syrian Opposition Groups Sense Fading U.S. Support
Despair Grows
Amid Defeats
By ANNE BARNARD
GAZIANTEP, Turkey — The
United States and its allies have
spent many millions of dollars
backing Syrian opposition fight-
ers they deem relatively moder-
ate and secular, and civilian
groups whose work on small
businesses and local councils
they billed as the cornerstone of
Syria’s future.
But the very Syrians who ben-
efited — and risked their lives in
the process — now say that in-
vestment is in danger of going
down the drain, and they see little
urgency from Washington, diplo-
matic or military, to save it.
“What are you going to do, oth-
er than statements?” Zakaria
Malahifji, the political chief of one
of the largest rebel groups given
weapons and salaries by the
C.I.A. and its counterparts in sev-
eral European and Arab states,
demanded in a recent message to
contacts at the French Embassy.
In nearly five years of war and
insurrection, many Syrians have
been repeatedly disillusioned by
what they saw as a mismatch be-
tween tough American rhetoric
against the Syrian government
and comparatively modest ef-
forts to aid some of its opponents.
President Obama said President
Bashar al-Assad must go, and
drew a red line over the use of
chemical weapons, but backed off
on both, diminishing anti-govern-
ment Syrians’ trust.
But the confusion and despair
has reached a new level over the
last week, as forces backing Mr.
Assad have pushed farther north
into Aleppo Province, sending
tens of thousands of new refu-
gees to the Turkish border. With
insurgent groups losing troops
and territory, their villages shat-
tered by Russian warplanes, ci-
vilians and fighters have in re-
cent days used phrases like “no
hope,” “it’s finished” and “it’s
over.”

Haytham, a spokesman for

German Trains Crash Head-On, Killing at Least 10 Indian Soldier Is Rescued
By MELISSA EDDY
COLOGNE, Germany — Two
commuter trains collided head-
on in southern Germany on
Tuesday, killing at least 10 peo-
ple, injuring several dozen, and
raising new questions about the
safety and reliability of a rail net-
work in Europe that has been
the envy of much of the world.
Stefan Sonntag, a spokesman
for the police in Upper Bavaria,
where the crash occurred, said
the trains had been traveling
along the same stretch of track
when they slammed into each
other shortly before 7 a.m. near
Bad Aibling, about 35 miles
southeast of Munich. It was not
immediately clear why the
trains had been on the same
track at the same time, he said.
About 50 passengers were se-
verely hurt, and 100 others sus-
tained light injuries, Mr. Sonntag
said. The authorities said later
that the drivers and conductors
of both trains were among those
killed. “We haven’t seen such an
accident in this region in a very
long time, if ever,” Mr. Sonntag
said. “It is terrible.”
Rail travel is central to Ger-
many, as it is to many European
countries. But particularly here,
as it ties together the country’s
many regions in a lacework that
differs from, for example, the
system in France, which is more
centralized on Paris, the capital.
Although Germany has a vast
rail network, trains traveling in
opposite directions frequently
share tracks in many rural re-
gions.
The crash added to a string of
tragedies and scandals over the
past year that have tarnished
the nation’s reputation for over-
sight and efficiency, including
Volkswagen’s lying about the
emissions tests of some of its ve-
hicles, and the crash of a Ger-
manwings jet that was rammed
into a French mountainside by a
pilot who had had from depres-
sion.
The circumstances that led to
the train collision on Tuesday
were unclear, but crashes across
Europe in recent years have
highlighted weaknesses in the
rail network.
Many countries in the region
have abandoned government-
run monopolies in favor of pri-
vately-run rail systems, even as
Alison Smale contributed report-
ing from Berlin.

C.I.A. program, said in a text
message on Friday from Tal
Rifaat, a town in northern Aleppo
that is increasingly threatened
by the government advance.
American-backed insurgents
have long been used to the Amer-
ican stance in recent years, that
the United States did not want
them to actually win the war —
lest a sudden toppling of Mr. As-
sad lead to Islamist rule — but
wanted to prevent them from los-
ing for long enough to pressure
the government to negotiate for a
political solution.

the European Union is spending
billions of euros to modernize
rail networks.
The result is an increasingly
precarious system, with a patch-
work of old and new technolo-
gies in use at the same time, and
with drivers, who are often alone
in cars, shouldering more re-
sponsibility for safety.
In Germany, the most serious
accident since unification was in
1998, when 101 people died in the
northern town of Eschede after a
high-speed train derailed, crash-
ing into a bridge. Fatal crashes
since then have been rare and on
a much smaller scale.
Alexander Dobrindt, the fed-
eral transportation minister,
said at a news conference that
Tuesday’s crash had happened
on a curve, meaning that the
drivers had probably not seen
each other.
Mr. Dobrindt, who described
the accident as “a terrible catas-
trophe,” said the trains “must
have collided at very high
speed” because velocities of up
to 100 kilometers per hour, or
about 60 miles per hour, were
permitted on the stretch where
the collision occurred.
He said that two of three data
recorders on the two trains had
been recovered and that the
third would probably be extract-
ed from the wreckage later on
Now they fear that the United
States and its allies may actually
let them lose. Many of the rebel
leaders who have received West-
ern support were headed Tues-
day night to meet with American
officials and others in Istanbul
and Ankara, but they were not
hopeful for game-changing devel-
opments.
The Obama administration has
said for months that there is no
military solution to the conflict in
Syria, and that its plan for con-
fronting the chaos inside the
country was to try to forge a po-

Tuesday. He added that any de-
termination about whether the
crash was a result of a technical
fault or human error could come
only after they had been ana-
lyzed.
All routes in Germany use a
system in which the brakes
should be automatically applied
when a train goes through a stop
signal or enters a section of
track that is not clear for transit,
Mr. Dobrindt said.
That system was installed in
response to a deadly crash near
the northeastern town of Mag-
deburg in 2011, Mr. Dobrindt
said, after 10 people were killed
when a passenger train and a
freight train collided.
Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria’s
interior minister, said at the
news conference that it ap-
peared at least one of the trains
was off schedule, but that it was
not clear why. He added that the
collision had prompted him and
other Bavarians to recall a crash
in nearby Warngau in 1975 that
killed about 40 people.
The regional rail provider Me-
ridian, which operated both of
the trains in the crash, said in a
statement on its website that it
was working to help all those in-
volved, and it provided a hotline
for the families of those on
board.
“The accident is a terrible
litical transition through United
Nations-led talks that would ulti-
mately lead to Mr. Assad’s de-
parture. But as those negotia-
tions faltered last week amid
heavy bombings by the Syrian
government backed by Russia, it
was clear that the strategy was
doing nothing to change the dy-
namic on the ground.
Secretary of State John Kerry
was left berating Russia publicly
for failing to live up to its commit-
ments to pursue a cease-fire and
allow humanitarian access inside
Syria, while making a frantic
shock for us,” Bernd Rosen-
busch, managing director of
Bayerische Oberlandbahn, the
parent company of the Meridian
line, said in the statement. “We
are doing everything possible to
help the passengers, their rela-
tives and the rescue workers.”
Bayerische Oberlandbahn is
owned by the German subsid-
iary of the French railway con-
glomerate Transdev.
Images from the scene, pub-
lished by the local online publi-
cation Rosenheim24.de, showed
a yellow and blue carriage, its
windows smashed, teetering on
the railway tracks. Beside it lay
shards of glass and mangled
pieces of metal.
Rescue helicopters, including
from neighboring Austria, and
dozens of ambulances were sent
to the scene of the crash, which
was at a curve in a wooded area
by a canal, the public broadcast-
er Bayerischer Rundfunk said.
In addition to commuters,
train passengers at that time
usually include children travel-
ing from small villages to
schools in larger towns, but
schools in Bavaria are on winter
break this week.

After 5 Days Buried in Ice
By ELLEN BARRY
and HARI KUMAR
NEW DELHI — Using ice
picks and chain saws, Indian
Army rescue teams had tunneled
their way 35 feet down through
the ice around the Siachen Gla-
cier, to the spot where they ex-
pected to find the bodies of 10 sol-
diers.
Their post was located at an el-
evation of 19,500 feet, opposite
Pakistani positions on what has
been called “the world’s highest
battlefield.” Five days earlier, in
the predawn hours on Feb. 3, a
wall of ice more than a half-mile
in length thundered down onto
the encampment, in a place
where nighttime temperatures
can drop to 50 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit; the soldiers had
been given up for dead.
What the rescue teams discov-
ered late on Monday came as a
shock: an infantryman, Naik
Hanamanthappa Koppad, de-
scribed by doctors as “severely
dehydrated, hypothermic, hypox-
ic, hypoglycemic and in shock.”
But — alive.
Word of the “Siachen miracle”
sent a patriotic thrill through In-
dia on Tuesday, though the nine
other soldiers were dead and a
government health bulletin sug-
gested that Mr. Koppad was
barely clinging to life. Airlifted to
an army hospital in New Delhi,
he received a visit from Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, who re-
marked that “no words are
enough to describe the endur-
ance and indomitable spirit of
Lance Naik Hanamanthappa.”
“We are all overwhelmed, we
cannot stop crying,” Mr. Kop-
pad’s father told CNN-IBN, a ca-
ble news station.
There has been no fighting on
the Siachen Glacier since 2003,
but the thousands of troops sta-
tioned near the border are in con-
stant danger of frostbite and as-
phyxiation. Extreme weather has
killed 869 Indian soldiers since
1984, an army spokesman said.
In the past, disasters have
prompted soul-searching about
whether clinging to this remote
spot is worth the loss of life; after
140 Pakistanis died in an ava-
lanche in 2012, a commentator in
the News International, a Paki-
stani newspaper, blamed “the
chauvinistic pride of national
tary to put more pressure on Rus-
sia and the Syrian government to
stop attacks and sieges on civil-
ians.
The activist said Mr. Kerry
seemed to blame the opposition
for refusing to participate in Unit-
ed Nations-led talks in Geneva,
and when the Syrians mentioned
that 230 barrel bombs had fallen
on Aleppo that day, he corrected
them, saying it was 180.
Then, the Syrian said, Mr. Ker-
ry added: “It’s going to get much

leaders who could have solved

and the stroke of a pen if they had
the moral courage to do so.”
But there was little sign of this
sentiment in India on Tuesday, as
video of Mr. Koppad’s rescue
played repeatedly on Indian
news programs. It is unclear how
Mr. Koppad survived for five
days, or how he escaped without
broken bones or frostbite. An
army spokesman said the post
was buried under “massive ice
boulders, some the size of a small
room,” and that rescuers had to
chip their way “inch by inch”
through 30 feet of hard blue ice.

a book about warfare on the Sia-

U.S. Will Send Troops to Assist Afghan Forces Pressed by Taliban
Concern Rises
In Helmand
By DAVID JOLLY
KABUL, Afghanistan — The
United States Army will deploy
hundreds of soldiers to the south-
ern Afghan province of Helmand,
where government forces have
been pushed to the brink by Tali-
ban militants, a military spokes-
man said Tuesday.
It will be the largest deploy-
ment of American troops outside
major bases in Afghanistan since
the end of the NATO combat mis-
sion in 2014. Though the military
insists that the soldiers will not
take active combat roles, Ameri-
can Special Operations forces
have increasingly been drawn
into the fighting in Helmand as
one important district after an-
other has fallen or been threat-
ened by Taliban insurgents.
Col. Michael T. Lawhorn, a
spokesman for the United States
military in Afghanistan, said in a
statement that the new deploy-
ment would provide protection
for the current Special Opera-
tions troops in Helmand and give
extra support and training for the
215th Corps of the Afghan Na-
tional Army. Afghan forces in
Helmand have taken heavy casu-
alties in recent months and have
been cut off by the Taliban in
many places.
“Our mission,” Colonel
Lawhorn said, “remains the
same: to train, advise, and assist
our Afghan counterparts, and not
to participate in combat opera-
tions.”
He would not detail the num-
ber of troops or the unit involved
in the deployment, citing Penta-
gon policy. But a senior American
military official, speaking on the
condition of anonymity to discuss
operational matters, said the unit
being sent to Helmand, the Sec-
ond Battalion, 87th Infantry, was
slightly smaller than the usual
battalion size of 700 to 800 sol-
diers. On Monday, The Guardian
reported that up to a battalion
would be sent to Helmand.
The new troops will replace an-
other unit that was already in Af-
ghanistan, the official said, and
will not add to the total number of
American troops in the country,
which stands at roughly 9,800.
The official could not say
where the deployment would be
based within Helmand but said
that the problems in the province
demanded the attention of Amer-
ican and Afghan commanders.
“Certainly Helmand is the dici-
est place in Afghanistan right

United Arab Emirates Try to Top World in Joy, Too Russia Makes U.N. Claim
By BEN HUBBARD
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — May-
be money can’t buy happiness, at
least not at current oil prices.
So the rulers of the United
Arab Emirates had a novel idea.
They decided to name a minister
of happiness.
It seems that being the Persian
Gulf nation known for building
the biggest indoor ski slope and
an island that looks like a palm
tree just was not cutting it any-
more. At least not in the happi-
ness department. Oh, and it
seems that tolerance is also in
short supply.
So the government will appoint
a minister of tolerance, too.
The sheikhs who rule the Unit-
ed Arab Emirates have an-
nounced the most sweeping gov-
ernment reorganization in their
country’s 44-year history, which
included the creation of the two
new ministers.
The announcement was made
with all the trappings of a royal
decree by Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of
Dubai and the country’s prime
minister — on Twitter.
“It is the beginning of a new
journey of achievement and giv-
ing to the people, and we ask God
to help us serve and take care of
them,” Sheikh Mohammed said in
one post in Arabic.
Happiness and tolerance were
the highlights of an otherwise bu-
reaucratic shake-up, which also
put another government body,
the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs, in
charge of “The Future.”
“A new post, Minister of State
for Happiness, will align and
drive government policy to cre-
ate social good and satisfaction,”
Sheik Mohammed said Monday
in another post, in English.
He added in another English-
language post: “The post of Min-
ister of State for Tolerance has
been created to promote toler-
ance as a fundamental value in
UAE society.”
It is not exactly clear how the
new ministers or the cabinet will
pursue their mandates. The rul-
ers of the United Arab Emirates
like to do things in their own way.
Along with the world’s tallest
American Marines with Afghan National Army soldiers near Marja in 2010. The United States Army will send hundreds of soldiers to southern Afghanistan.
now, the place where A.N.S.F.
have had the most setbacks from
without and within,” the official
said, using the abbreviation for
the Afghan National Security
Forces, meaning the army and
the police. “It’s part of what mat-
ters most right now for the future
of the country.”
The additional American sol-
diers would be “doing some re-
training, re-equipping and advis-
ing” for the troubled Afghan
215th Army Corps, the official
added.
Alarm has risen in Kabul and
Washington as a resurgent Tali-
ban insurgency has pushed gov-
ernment forces to the edge.
Faced with the possible collapse
of the Afghan Army and police in
Helmand, the Pentagon began
ratcheting up the role of Ameri-
can Special Operations forces
there last autumn, stepping up
air attacks and putting more ad-
visers on the ground. One Ameri-
can was killed and two were
wounded there in early January

man-made structure and the fast-
est roller coaster, the country has
recently claimed accolades for
the most nationalities washing
their hands at the same time, the
largest number of people eating
cereal in one place and the
world’s biggest breakfast table
(the last two were achieved si-
multaneously at one landmark
event.)
“The government feels that we
have provided basic services so
far, education and health, so now
we should strive for higher
goals,” said Abdulkhaliq Abdulla,

The numbers being discussed
“aren’t enough; 700 or so troops

general who now commands the
Afghan Border Police.

Americans’ decision to support
the Afghan Army and police in

equipped with advanced weap-
onry, they’ll have better air sup-
port and they can fight well
alongside the A.N.S.F. They’ll in-
flict extensive pressure on the
enemy.”
“If similar action were taken in
other volatile provinces,” he said,
“it would be a blow to the enemy
and terrorists.”

“You can be happy as long as
you keep your mouth shut,” Mr.
McGeehan said. “That is the sort
of social contract that is in place
there.”
The country’s active economy
and open immigration rules have
made it a magnet for internation-
al talent, and large numbers of
skilled professionals from Syria,
Egypt, Iraq and Lebanon have
sought to pursue their fortunes,
and their happiness, in the emir-
ates as conditions in their own
countries have deteriorated.
But the majority of the for-
eigners in the United Arab Emir-
ates are low-paid Asian laborers,
and it remained unclear how in-
terested the state was in increas-
ing their happiness.
Internationally, the country is
already pretty happy.
The 2015 World Happiness Re-
port ranked it No. 20, above Brit-
ain and below Belgium. Switzer-
land was No. 1, and the United

militants. But the American com-
mand has interpreted the rules
broadly, joining the fight against
Taliban insurgents when Afghan
forces have broken down, as
when the northern city of Kunduz
was taken over by the militants
last September.
“American forces in Afghani-
stan, and in this specific case in
Helmand, are in the role of train,
advise and assist,” said Sayed
Zafar Hashemi, a spokesman for
President Ashraf Ghani. “The Af-
ghan forces are on the lead, car-
rying out the combat mission.”
Helmand has been besieged by
Taliban militants since the NATO
and United States combat mis-
sion ended in 2014, and it has long
been one of the most contested
parts of the country. The Hel-
still beat all other Arab countries.

and a growing jihadist insurgen-
cy, was ranked No. 135; Syria,

abandoned it.
It was unclear who would be
named to fill the new Emirati

immediately took to social media
to pitch themselves for the jobs.
One Twitter user, Maya

hammed that the new minister of
happiness must work hard, with
patience and tolerance, qualities
she promised to provide.
“I love doing those things, I
know I’m right for this position,”
she said Tuesday on Twitter. “I
don’t see how it can’t fit. Kindly
your highness: I can do this!”

among the most productive in the

economic prize disputed by the

to its strategic value.
The Helmand police and the

underequipped units fight on
without rest. In testimony before
the House Armed Services Com-

Campbell, the outgoing chief of
NATO and United States forces in
Afghanistan, expressed concern
about the Afghan military. “Ulti-
mately,” he said, “Afghanistan
has not achieved an enduring lev-

justifies reduction in our support

To Arctic Ocean Seabed
By ANDREW E. KRAMER
MOSCOW — A senior Russian
government official on Tuesday
formally presented to the United
Nations his country’s claim to
Arctic Ocean seabed, including
an area under the North Pole.
The presentation by the offi-
cial, Sergei Donskoy, the minister
of natural resources, followed a
long Russian effort to secure the
territory — and mineral rights —
under the polar ice cap.
Russia presented a written
claim in August, after the United
Nations committee that arbi-
trates disputes over sea bound-
aries had rejected on technical
grounds an earlier application by
Russia for the North Pole, sub-
mitted in 2002.
In a statement, Mr. Donskoy
said he would lay out Russia’s ar-
guments, based on scientific evi-
dence that the continental shelf
extends north from the Eurasian
land mass far under the planet’s
ice cap.
Russia is staking a claim, he
said, “to the seabed beyond the
200-mile zone along the entire
Russian polar sector including
the zone under the North Pole.”
Under a 1982 United Nations
convention, the Law of the Sea, a
nation may claim an exclusive
economic zone over the continen-
tal shelf abutting its shores.
If the geological shelf extends
far out to sea, the nation can
claim mineral resources in the
seabed beyond that zone, though
the recent oil price slump has
dampened the enthusiasm of oil
companies for such ventures.
If the United Nations commit-
tee accepts Russia’s claim, the
seabed under the North Pole
would be subject to Moscow’s
oversight for activities like oil
drilling, though Russia will not
have sovereignty over the water
or the ice.
Canada, Norway and Denmark
have also filed claims, and all

troops in Afghanistan was sup-
posed to fall to 5,500 by the end of
2016. That drawdown now ap-
pears to be in doubt, as Lt. Gen.
John W. Nicholson Jr., who will
replace General Campbell, told
senators in January that he want-
ed to “re-look” at the military’s
needs in the country, considering
“what is necessary, what amount
of capability is necessary given
the current conditions.”
Aimal Faizi, who was a spokes-
man for former President Hamid
Karzai, said that sending more
American troops to Helmand
again would be a return to an “ill-
advised” military strategy that
failed to “fight the roots of terror-
ism.”
Mr. Faizi added: “After 15
years of failed military opera-
tions, killings and destruction in
Helmand, it is also right to worry
that the local people in Helmand
will no more see the Americans
as a liberating force but an occu-
pying force this time. It is all very
unfortunate.”

lar bears.
In a statement on Tuesday, a
Greenpeace campaigner, Mary
Sweeters, said that “as the Rus-
sian government pursues its
claim for expansion of the Arctic
shelf, presumably in pursuit of
additional fossil fuel resources,
they ignore the substantial risks
to the local environment and our
climate from offshore oil and gas
development.”
Russia has also stepped up mil-
itary activities and oil and gas ex-
ploration in the far north, includ-
ing by rebuilding Cold War-era

Study in Brazil Links Zika Virus to Eye Damage in Babies
By CATHERINE SAINT LOUIS
Infants infected with the Zika
virus may be born not only with
unusually small heads, but also
with eye abnormalities that
threaten vision, researchers re-
ported on Tuesday in the journal
JAMA Ophthalmology.
The study described damage to
the retina or optic nerve in 10 of
29 newborns examined at Rober-
to Santos General Hospital in Sal-
vador, Brazil. All the infants were
Jane Perlez contributed reporting
from Beijing.
presumed to have been infected
with the Zika virus and had small
heads, a condition called micro-
cephaly. Other causes of the de-
fect, like infection with rubella or
toxoplasmosis, were ruled out.
Seven out of the 10 newborns
had defects in both eyes, while
three infants had damage in a
single eye. The most common
problems were black speckled le-
sions in the back of the eye, large
areas of tissue damage in the ret-
ina itself, or damage in the layer
of blood vessels and tissue below
the retina.
“Exactly how much these ba-
bies can see is unknown at this
point,” said Dr. Lee M. Jampol, a
professor of ophthalmology at
Northwestern University, who
co-wrote an editorial accompa-
nying the study. But, he added,
“when we can see these lesions,
that means there’s damage.”
The lesions themselves can’t
be repaired. But “the earlier you
make the diagnosis, the better,”
said Dr. Rubens Belfort Jr., the
paper’s senior author and a pro-
fessor of ophthalmology at the
Federal University of São Paulo
in Brazil.
“Based on my experience, I
would say a large number of
these kids will be blind,” he add-
ed.
The study’s authors urged that
all infants with microcephaly rou-
tinely receive examinations for
lesions in the eyes.
“Any baby with a damaged ret-
ina has to be followed to make
sure they develop the best vision
possible,” Dr. Jampol said.
It is not yet clear whether a
baby with a normal-sized head
who was exposed to Zika in utero
might develop ocular damage.
To discover potential eye prob-
lems, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recom-
mended last month that any in-
fant whose mother lived in or vis-
ited any country experiencing a
Zika outbreak during her preg-
nancy be tested for the infection.
If the mother’s test was positive
or inconclusive, the baby would
receive an ophthalmologic evalu-
ation within a month of birth. In
the latest study, roughly 80 per-
cent of the mothers reported
symptoms of Zika infection, like a
rash or a fever during pregnancy,
usually during their first trimes-
ter. But no mother reported con-
junctivitis, also known as red eye.
“This is important,” Dr. Belfort
said. “Red eye should not be ex-
pected in patients with Zika.”
The study had limitations. The
sample size was small, and all
cases were examined at one hos-
pital.
In China on Tuesday night, the
health authorities announced the
country’s first known case of
Zika. The patient, a 34-year-old
man, had recently returned from
a trip to Venezuela, according to
the Xinhua news agency.
The man, who lived in Jiangxi
province in eastern China, was
being treated at a hospital there
under quarantine, Xinhua said.

A Three-Ring Circus in Finland: Soldiers, ‘Loldiers’ and Refugees
By RICHARD MARTYN-HEMPHILL
TAMPERE, Finland — A sur-
real political circus is wheeling
its way through the frosty streets
of Finland’s third-largest city.
In one ring is the Soldiers of
Odin, a far-right, leather-clad
vigilante patrol named for a
Norse deity, which has taken
upon itself the task of protecting
Tampere from the 1,200 or so peo-
ple seeking asylum here from
Syria, Iraq and other places.
In another is a troupe of clowns
who skip through the streets car-
rying lollipops, feather dusters
and toilet brushes, mocking and
sometimes confronting anti-im-
migrant groups, including the
soldiers. The clowns call them-
selves the Loldiers of Odin and
have emerged on the scene in the
past few weeks as champions of
multiculturalism.
And so it goes as this industrial
town — which some call Fin-
land’s “capital of comedy” — and
much of Europe grapple with the
influx of newcomers from the
Middle East, Africa and beyond.
It started with the Soldiers of
Odin, a group that began in Kemi,
a town on the fringe of Lapland
near the Arctic Circle that saw
thousands of asylum seekers
coming through from the Swed-
ish border in late 2015. Now the
group is organized in as many as
25 cities in Finland, and a Face-
book group for the soldiers has
been formed in Norway.
In Tampere, members of the
group patrol the city’s most dan-
gerous neighborhoods three
times a week, though, so far, their
only contribution to law enforce-
ment has been to call the police
after encountering a drunken
Finn.
“We are a patrol group looking
out for the safety of people, the
safety of women,” said the
group’s local leader, a 37-year-old
electrician who spoke on the con-
dition that he be identified by
only his first name, Tony.
Enter the Loldiers, to the ac-
companying tunes of a decrepit
accordion and with one clown
portraying Odin as a bearded
buffoon in a dressing gown and a
plastic horned faux-Viking hat.
The clowns first rambled into the
soldiers’ path on a recent week-
end patrol, honking horns and
singing nursery rhymes.
The next Saturday, the Lol-
diers tried to repeat the trick at a
nationalist rally. The police were
not amused and arrested two of
the clowns for disturbing the
demonstration.
Jussi Jalonen, a local historian
who studies extreme right-wing
movements, said the clown
troupe was employing the art of
parody in an attempt to make
anti-immigration fervor and the
vigilante patrols appear ridicu-
lous.
“They are basically a perform-
ance group who are protesting —
peacefully and by the means of
comedy — against the extreme
right,” he said.
The clowns declined to break
character to give interviews,
though the clown who was ar-
rested at the demonstration said
afterward that he had made the
police laugh when he was taken
to the station. “It was lovely,” the
clown said of his arrest.
Some of the anti-immigration
demonstrators dismissed the
clowns as anarchists. They said
that just as in Batman’s Gotham
City, the heroes are the vigilan-
tes, and the clowns are the vil-
lains.
“They are trying to provoke
the Soldiers of Odin to hit them,
so they will take the blame,” said
one of the anti-immigration pro-
testers, who was waving a flam-
ing torch and identified himself
Defense Secretary, Seeking Bigger Arab Effort Against ISIS, Faces a Challenge
By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT
and HELENE COOPER
BRUSSELS — When Defense
Secretary Ashton B. Carter con-
venes a meeting here on Thurs-
day to cajole about two dozen of
his counterparts into contribut-
ing more to the American-led
campaign against the Islamic
State, he will face one of his big-
gest leadership tests since he
took office a year ago.
President Obama told Mr. Car-
ter in December that as the ad-
ministration intensifies its efforts
against the Islamic State, other
countries — particularly Arab
ones — need to do more. Mr. Car-
ter said Tuesday that he was con-
fident he would leave the meeting
this week with pledges of aid like
air support, special forces, train-
ers and money.
But foreign policy analysts and
former American diplomats say
that while the administration
may gain some help from Euro-
pean allies, it continues to mis-
calculate what the Arab countries
are willing to do.
Michael S. Schmidt reported from
Brussels, and Helene Cooper from
Washington. Eric Schmitt contrib-
uted reporting from Washington.
only as Jarkko, a 36-year-old con-
struction worker. “But the Sol-
diers of Odin have kept their cool
and have not responded to their
provocations.”
The Soldiers of Odin were not
visible at the demonstration,
though some of the marchers
“The thing is, the Islamic State
is nobody’s top enemy,” said
Ryan C. Crocker, a former United
States ambassador to Iraq. “For
the Turks, the enemy is the
Kurds, and for the Sunni Arabs,
it’s Iran, followed by Assad,” he
added, referring to President Ba-
shar al-Assad of Syria.
While the administration
wants to avoid the appearance
that the United States is “going it
alone” again in the Middle East,
other countries understand that
the American military will con-
tinue its campaign regardless of
whether they provide any help.
Mr. Carter acknowledged on
Tuesday that Mr. Obama had not
set any threshold for contribu-
tions that would be needed for
the United States to maintain the
effort against the Islamic State,
also known as ISIS or ISIL.
William McCants, the author of
“The ISIS Apocalypse,” said that
Mr. Carter had expressed an un-
derstandable frustration about
“our allies’ free-riding.” But, Mr.
McCants added, “I don’t see how
he brings them along without a
major realignment of Obama pol-
icy, and I don’t see that coming.”
Mr. Obama wants to enlist
more help so that he will not need
TAMPERE JOURNAL
said some members might have
been there but not in their trade-
mark leather jackets with images
of Odin on the back.
The Soldiers of Odin say they
are undaunted by the arrival of
the clowns, promising more
marches when the snow melts in
to send more ground forces into
the region. Though the president
campaigned in 2008 on pulling
military forces out of Iraq, the
United States has about 3,700
troops there, counting a handful
of Special Operations forces on
the ground in Syria. The cam-
paign has proceeded in fits and
starts, and the American public
remains skeptical that the United
States has a plan to defeat the Is-
lamic State.
Since taking office in February
2015, Mr. Carter has kept a fairly
low profile. Secretary of State
John Kerry often takes the lead in
speaking publicly about foreign
affairs. And, unlike Mr. Kerry, Mr.
Carter was not at the table for the
administration’s most significant
achievement in the Middle East:
the agreement with Iran to limit
its nuclear program.
But he has played a direct role
in trying to expand the military
coalition against the Islamic
State, work that until this week
had largely gone on behind the
scenes.
In closed-door meetings, phone
calls and detailed letters, he has
explained to foreign leaders the
wide range of ways they can help,
from providing troops to helping

the spring and when new arrivals
are expected.
“They are not giving us trou-
ble,” said Tony, the leader of the
Tampere division of the Soldiers
of Odin. “They are making trou-
ble for themselves.”
His small vanguard of 50 sol-
diers emerged in Tampere over
the past few weeks, playing off
resentment of the elite, distrust
of the Finnish news media, frus-
tration over growing unemploy-
ment and fear prompted by a
sudden influx of foreigners — all
coming alongside accompanying
reports of sexual assaults and
terrorist attacks across the Conti-
nent in 2015.
Some members of the group,
including the organization’s lead-
ership in Kemi, according to re-
ports in the local newspaper
Aamulehti, are committed neo-
Nazis, and some members hold
with reconstruction. “If you don’t
have a lot of capability but you
want to make a contribution, you
can literally do that, make a con-
tribution,” Mr. Carter said in a
briefing with reporters on a flight
to Brussels from Washington on
Tuesday.
There have been mixed signs
in recent weeks about how will-
ing other nations are to help. The
A campaign some
believe will go on with
or without help.
Dutch have said they will join the
air campaign, while the Canadi-
ans said they would stop partici-
pating in airstrikes but would in-
crease their training of ground
forces. Peter Cook, a Pentagon
spokesman, said Monday that
Mr. Carter appreciated the deci-
sion “to step up Canada’s role in
the campaign at this critical
time.”

Arab Emirates have sought to

abuse.
“They write that we are Nazis,
but that is not true,” Tony said.
“The group is not a Nazi group.
The group is a patrol group.”
He said his group is well disci-
plined and imposes strict codes
of conduct on members, though
he declined to be specific.
“We look very carefully who
comes and who doesn’t,” he said,
referring to those allowed to par-
ticipate in the patrols.
Out on a midnight patrol, a new
soldier who calls himself Sami,
42, a paramedic and a father of
four, said the group had been
wrongly portrayed by the news
media.
“They are making stories that
put these guys in a bad light,”
said Sami, declining to give his
last name out of concern that re-
porters would call him at work or

doing more. Last week, they of-
fered to send ground troops to
Syria to fight the Islamic State.
But that offer came with many
caveats, as outlined in a news
conference in Abu Dhabi on Sun-
day by the Emiratis’ minister of
state for foreign affairs, Anwar
Gargash. “We are not talking
about thousands of troops,” he
said. He added that “U.S. leader-
ship on this” would be a prerequi-
site.
In an interview, Landon Shrod-
er, an intelligence analyst for cor-
porations in Iraq, translated that
statement about American lead-
ership to mean “total and abso-
lute United States domination” of
a ground effort in Syria, with
thousands of American ground
troops. Mr. Obama has said he
has no intention of making such a
commitment.
The United States’ Sunni Arab
allies in the region provided some
military support when the cam-
paign began in 2014, but they
have largely withdrawn from the
fight. The Persian Gulf countries,
led by Saudi Arabia, are still an-
gry at the United States over the
nuclear pact with Iran, and they
fret that the Obama administra-
tion has moved closer to Tehran,
home, as he trudged through the
slush, watching for trouble.
He has a black jacket, but he
has not been in the group long
enough to earn the Odin insignia
on the back. “I don’t think that
the police have enough re-
sources,” he said.
The 1,200 new asylum seekers
seem to be well aware that they
are the subject of considerable
controversy and fear. “Some of
them are afraid of us,” said Ah-
med Ramzi al-Bayati, 22, an asy-
lum seeker from Iraq. “When
they see us, they step aside.”
But he said he has nonetheless
been made to feel welcome by
volunteers and instances of local
hospitality.
“I think they are afraid for
their country,” he said of the
Finns. “They don’t want anyone
to demolish it after what they did
to build it. No one wants that. But
if they see the good side of us ...,”

B he trailed off and smiled.
Sea Mayor Anna-Kaisa Ikonen said
most people in Tampere view the
SS influx of migrants with a moder-
ate mix of generosity and prag-
matism that belies the extremism
on both sides of the issues. “I
hope we won’t see this polariza-
tion going any further,” she said.
Vigilante patrols “definitely
are not the tradition,” she said,
stressing that she “has always
felt safe” in her city, but that on
the other hand, taking to the
streets dressed in a clown suit
was “probably not my way of do-
ing things.”
the local Sorin Circus and an ex-
perienced clown teacher, re-
viewed videos of the clowns at a

in sticking to their characters.
“It may not be good clowning,”
she said, “but it certainly seems
they got their message across.”
despite administration assur-
ances to the contrary.
What is more, the Sunni Arabs
are far more interested in getting
rid of Mr. Assad than they are of
getting rid of the Islamic State.
As long as the administration
continues to not make a priority
of deposing Mr. Assad, Saudi
Arabia and the other Sunni Per-
sian Gulf countries will remain
lukewarm in the battle against
the Islamic State, regional ex-
perts say.

British Effort to Identify Potential Radicals Spurs Profiling Debate

Attacks in Paris
Point to a Need
By KIMIKO DE FREYTAS-TAMURA
LONDON — The boy’s teach-
ers were growing increasingly
concerned. He was speaking ad-
miringly in school of Jihadi John,
the notorious British executioner
with the Islamic State, and ex-
pressing a desire to travel to Syr-
ia.
Twice, the teachers referred
the boy — a teenager from Black-
burn, in northern England — to a
government program called Pre-
vent, which was set up to spot
early signs of extremism and in-
tervene before it was too late.
On both occasions, the boy —
struggling with his studies after
his parents separated and social-
ly withdrawn because of a degen-
erative eye disease that blurred
his vision — refused to partici-
pate in sessions intended to keep
him from becoming radicalized.
The need for such programs
has become all the more appar-
ent in the wake of the Paris at-
tacks in November, which were
carried out primarily by Euro-
pean citizens who became rad-
icalized at home. Britain’s pro-
gram is viewed as something of a
model by other European coun-
tries and the United States.
But encouraging fellow citizens
to identify potential radicals has
also raised questions about racial
and religious profiling and the
balance between security and
civil liberties, igniting a debate
here over whether Prevent holds
the risk of further alienating
Muslims in Britain.
At the same time, the British
program has exposed the limita-
tions of an approach that relies
on voluntary cooperation from
those who are identified as po-
tential threats. In the case of the
boy in Blackburn, whose name
has not been publicly disclosed
because of his age, the police lat-
er arrested him after they found
that he had made a detailed plan
for an Islamic State-inspired
massacre in Australia.
Last October, he was sen-
tenced for inciting terrorism
overseas and became, at 15, the
youngest person to get a life sen-
tence in Britain in a terrorism
case.
The Prevent program, started
by Prime Minister Tony Blair in
the aftermath of the July 7, 2005,
London bombings, encourages
and in some cases requires Brit-
ons to watch for signs of radical-
ization in their communities and
to alert the authorities about peo-
ple who could become risks, be-
fore they turn violent. Once
someone is identified, the au-
thorities judge whether the
threat of radicalization is suffi-
cient to justify further counsel-
ing; if so, the at-risk person is of-
fered a place in a voluntary por-
tion of the Prevent program

known as Channel, which seeks
to steer participants away from
extremism.
Last year, Prime Minister Da-
vid Cameron’s government ex-
panded the program’s scope,
making it a legal duty for schools,
hospitals, local governments, so-
cial services and prisons to flag
extremist behavior with the au-
thorities. Opponents say that re-
quirement risks turning Britain
into a surveillance state where
one section of the public is en-
couraged to snoop on everybody
else.
Prevent’s 65 million pound
($94 million) annual budget cov-
ers the cost of supporting com-
munity organizations that help
at-risk groups, such as disaffect-
ed youth or British Muslim wom-
en isolated from mainstream so-
ciety. Last month, Mr. Cameron
announced a £20 million fund to
teach English to Muslim women.
Communities that are cut off, he
said, are potential breeding
grounds for terrorists.
The Prevent program provides
instruction to teachers, doctors,
social workers, and prison and
housing officials on how to detect
early signs of radicalization. The
program’s officers explain, for
example, the influence of Anwar
al-Awlaki, a cleric born in the
United States who was killed in
an American drone strike in Yem-
en in 2011 but who continues to in-
spire young Islamic militants
through videos of his lectures
available online.
Teachers are supplied with dic-
tionaries to help them identify
Arabic words used by the Islamic
State such as “Dawla/Dawlah,” a
term used to describe the group
by its supporters; the pejorative
“kaffir/kuffar” to mean non-Mus-
lims; and less obvious words like
“rafidha,” a derogatory term for
Shiite Muslims.
The Home Office said more
than 400,000 public sector em-
ployees had attended lectures
about the program. They are giv-
en a list of 22 “contributing fac-
tors” that signal a person’s po-
tential engagement with an ex-
tremist group, including a loss of
interest in friends and activities,
unwillingness to listen to other
points of view, using derogatory
names for another group and
condoning violence.
Those indicators, described in
a Prevent guidance booklet, also
include people with “occupation-
al skills that can enable acts of
terrorism” such as civil engineer-
ing, pharmacology, or technical
expertise, including knowledge of
information technology, chemi-
cals, or military training.
As part of the effort, schools
have installed monitoring de-
vices on school computers, en-
abling teachers and administra-
tors to see what kind of material
their students are viewing online.
However imperfect, Prevent is
about “making teachers aware
that some of their kids might go
in the direction” of terrorism,
said Raffaello Pantucci, director
of international security studies
at the Royal United Services In-
stitute. He raised the example of
four girls from the Bethnal Green
Academy in London who traveled
to Syria last year.
“Clearly a mini social move-
ment was going on within that
school,” he said. “Those teachers
now know what to look for and
how to tell authorities.”

said, and the schools have al-
ready dealt with sensitive issues,
such as students being forced
into marriage. Prevent, she said,
“is an added duty, a moral duty.”
“You can’t take away the risk,
and we can’t control who is influ-
encing our students outside of
school,” she said. “But what we
can do is to find alternative nar-
ratives, like those given by Is-
lamic State defectors, and try to
chip away at the group’s mis-
sionary zeal.”
Anyone flagged by the pro-
to be a much older man, the teen-
ager advised the militant on us-
ing a knife with a handle “perfect
for tearing through throat.”
In the first six months of 2015, a
total of 3,228 referrals were made,
according to the latest figures
from the National Police Chiefs’
Council.
Two-thirds of the referrals
came from schools, social serv-
ices and health care practition-
ers. Less than 10 percent came
from local communities, suggest-
ing that Muslims, among others,
view Prevent with suspicion. As a
result of the referrals, 46 people
were prevented from traveling to
Syria and 225 “are being suc-
cessfully dissuaded from under-
taking extremist activity related
to Syria,” the police chiefs’ coun-
cil said. A majority of referrals
were of Muslims.
But success on the individual
level can come at a cost.
Shashank Joshi, a senior re-
search fellow at the Royal United
Services Institute, said he was
concerned that even “peaceful,
legitimate debate could be
dragged into the clutches of a se-
curity state.” That could under-
mine the government’s efforts
and drive true extremists deeper
underground, he said.
Some Muslims say they have
been unfairly singled out and that

North Korea Nuclear Effort Seen as a Top Threat to the U.S.
Intelligence Chief
Warns the Senate
By MARK LANDLER
WASHINGTON — The nation-
al intelligence director, James R.
Clapper, warned Tuesday that
North Korea had expanded its
production of weapons-grade nu-
clear fuel, making clear that the
Obama administration now re-
garded the reclusive government
in Pyongyang, rather than Iran,
as the world’s most worrisome
nuclear threat.
Mr. Clapper’s warning, deliv-
ered in his annual worldwide
threat assessment to the Senate
Armed Services Committee,
came a day after President Oba-
ma called the leaders of Japan
and South Korea to reassure
them after a satellite launch by
North Korea deepened fears that
the North could strike the two
countries with nuclear-tipped
ballistic missiles.
“Pyongyang continues to
produce fissile material and de-
velop a submarine-launched bal-
listic missile,” Mr. Clapper said.
“It is also committed to develop-
ing a long-range nuclear-armed
missile that’s capable of posing a
direct threat to the United States,
although the system has not been
flight tested.”
In his testimony, Mr. Clapper
put North Korea at the top of his
list of nuclear- and proliferation-
related threats. American intelli-
gence agencies say that North
Korea has expanded its uranium-
enrichment facility at its main
nuclear complex in Yongbyon
and restarted a plutonium pro-
duction reactor. North Korea

James R. Clapper, the national intelligence director, delivered his annual worldwide threat assessment to the Senate on Tuesday.
months,” Mr. Clapper said.
Mr. Clapper sounded less wor-
ried about Iran, which for years
topped most lists of nuclear
threats. He said there was no evi-
dence so far that Iran had
breached the terms of last sum-
mer’s nuclear agreement with
the West, and the deal “should
serve as a tempering factor for
other countries” in the Middle
East, which had threatened to
pursue their own nuclear-weap-
ons programs as a deterrent to a
nuclear Iran.
Still, Mr. Clapper said, “we in
the intelligence community are
very much in the ‘distrust, and
verify’ mode.”
Iran’s leaders, he said, viewed
the deal as a way to lift sanctions
while preserving a nuclear capa-
bility. And Iran still has the larg-
est inventory of ballistic missiles
in the Middle East.
Nuclear proliferation was only
one of a long list of threats Mr.
Clapper raised, from failing
states and the migration crisis to
terrorist plots by the Islamic
State and potential cyberattacks.
“In my 50-plus years in the intel-
ligence business,” he said, “I can-
not recall a more diverse array of
challenges and crises than we
confront today.”
The Islamic State, in particular,
has grown even more lethal, with
eight branches, a skilled use of
cybertools and unrivaled success
in recruiting fighters. Mr. Clap-
per estimated that 38,200 foreign-
ers had traveled to Syria since
the start of the civil war there, in-
cluding at least 6,900 from West-
ern countries.
The director of the Defense In-
telligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Vin-
cent R. Stewart, who testified
with Mr. Clapper, predicted that
the Islamic State would “prob-
ably attempt to conduct addition-
al attacks in Europe and attempt
to direct attacks on the U.S.
homeland in 2016.”
With North Korea testing a nu-
clear device and launching a sat-
ellite in quick succession, the
White House has grown frustrat-
ed by its inability to curb the gov-
ernment in Pyongyang. Mr. Oba-
ma spoke with President Xi Jin-
ping of China a few days before
the satellite launch to urge him to
use China’s influence over North
Korea to prevent it.
The United States has begun
negotiations with South Korea
about moving equipment to place
an antiballistic missile system
known as the Terminal High-Alti-
tude Area Defense System, or
THAAD, on the Korean Peninsu-
la. Installing the system has been
a subject of intense debate in
Seoul because it could upset an
already delicate relationship with
Beijing.
On Monday, the Chinese gov-
ernment expressed “deep con-
cern” about the prospect of an
antimissile system in the region,
because the radar from such a
system would penetrate its terri-
tory.
The White House has been
careful not to criticize China for
its failure to rein in North Korea.
But Mr. Clapper emphasized that
the Chinese account for 90 per-
cent of North Korea’s trade, buy-
ing $1.2 billion worth of coal from
their impoverished neighbor ev-
ery year.
“To the extent that anyone has
leverage over North Korea,” he
said, “it’s China.”
White House officials stopped
short of ranking North Korea as
the world’s No. 1 proliferation
threat. But with Iran in compli-
ance with the terms of the nucle-
ar deal, and with North Korea’s
leader, Kim Jong-un, embarking
on a series of provocative acts,
Pyongyang has clearly supplant-
ed Tehran as a focus for the presi-

Builder Arrested in Taiwan After Collapse
By KEITH BRADSHER
TAINAN, Taiwan — The police
have arrested the builder of a 17-
story apartment complex that
collapsed in a predawn earth-
quake on Saturday here in south-
western Taiwan, the city govern-
ment announced Tuesday after-
noon.
Lin Minghui, the developer of
the Wei-Guan Golden Dragon
building, and two of his associ-
ates from the Wei-Guan Con-
struction Company, the business
that he used to build the apart-
ment complex, were arrested late
Monday night, said Ellen Hsueh,
a municipal spokeswoman.
Liu Shih-Chung, one of Tai-
nan’s two deputy secretaries gen-
eral, said Mr. Lin and his associ-
ates had been arrested on suspi-
cion of criminal business mis-
conduct resulting in fatalities.
The arrest of Mr. Lin and his
associates is likely to draw con-
siderable attention in mainland
China. Poor construction prac-
tices by government contractors
were widely blamed for the col-
lapse of many schools and the
deaths of many children during
the Sichuan Province earthquake
that killed about 70,000 people
and left nearly 18,000 missing in
western China in 2008.
When protests over the schools
threatened to spread out of con-
trol, the Beijing authorities si-
lenced the criticism and limited
judicial actions against the con-
tractors.
Mixing sarcasm with envy of
Taiwan’s willingness to hold de-
velopers accountable for how
their buildings fared in earth-
quakes, one person wrote on
Tuesday night on Chinese social
media, “If they did it this way on
the mainland, would there be any
developers left in China?”
In Tainan, firefighters and oth-
er rescue specialists had pulled

dent’s national security staff.
“Obviously, we are concerned
about the risk of proliferation
from North Korea,” the White
House press secretary, Josh Ear-
nest, said on Monday. “And the
proliferation threat from Iran
has, of course, been significantly
diminished because of the inter-
national agreement to prevent
them from obtaining a nuclear
weapon.”
“If you were ranking them on
the list and if at one point Iran
were ranked above North Korea,”
Mr. Earnest said, “that’s certain-
ly no longer the case.”
In the past two years, Mr. Clap-
per has said that cyberattacks
pose the greatest threat to the
United States. In his testimony
on Tuesday, he described a more
subtle kind of threat, emerging
from the possibility that ad-
vanced adversaries could manip-
ulate data, everything from the
guidance system for a weapon to
the valves in a gas or water pipe-
line.
He noted that Russia was the
most sophisticated cyberactor,
China one of the most pervasive,
and Iran and North Korea among
the boldest.
For the first time Mr. Clapper
also talked about how the “In-
ternet of things” — autonomous
cars, network-connected televi-
sions and network-controlled
home devices — provided “new
opportunities for our intelligence
collectors.”
It appeared to be a reference to
the fact that the National Securi-

Advances Seen
In Rocket Fired
By North Korea
By CHOE SANG-HUN
SEOUL, South Korea — The
rocket launched by North Korea
on Sunday had a longer range
and carried a heavier payload
than the one used to put a satel-
lite in orbit in 2012, indicating that
Pyongyang had made modest ad-
vances in its rocket technology,
the South Korean Defense Min-
istry said on Tuesday.
The launch on Sunday was
condemned by South Korea, the
United States and other coun-
tries, which consider such efforts
by the North to be a cover for de-
veloping intercontinental ballistic
missile technology.
The rocket, the Kwangmyong-
song, or shining star, put a satel-
lite into orbit nine minutes and 29
seconds after its takeoff from the
Tongchang-ri launch site in the
country’s northwest, according
to Defense Ministry officials, who
briefed journalists on the condi-
tion of anonymity.
It resembled the Unha-3 rocket
that North Korea used to launch
a satellite in 2012, but the officials
said the satellite on Sunday was
heavier. The ministry’s analysis
indicated that the new rocket, if
successfully reconfigured as a
missile, could fly more than 7,400
miles with a warhead of 1,100 to
1,300 pounds, compared with
6,200 miles for the Unha-3
launched in 2012 — in both cases,
far enough to reach the West
Coast of the United States.
But North Korea has never
flight-tested a long-range ballis-
tic missile, which requires tech-
nology that enables a warhead to
survive re-entry into the atmos-
phere. It is also unclear how close
North Korea has come to minia-
turizing a nuclear bomb so it
could be mounted on a missile.
The North’s 2012 launch was its
first successful attempt to put a
satellite into orbit, but South Ko-
rean officials later said that the
satellite appeared to be tumbling
out of control and that the North
was unable to communicate with
it. The Defense Ministry officials
said on Tuesday that it was too
soon to tell whether the satellite
launched on Sunday was func-
tioning normally.
After the 2012 launch, South
Korea said it had salvaged the
wreckage of the rocket’s first
stage and found that many of its
components were off-the-shelf
items made by other countries.
The first stage of the rocket
launched on Sunday disintegrat-
ed over the ocean west of South
Korea, in a deliberate effort to en-
sure that it could not be recov-
ered and analyzed, the Defense
Ministry officials said.
Also on Tuesday, President
Park Geun-hye spoke by tele-
phone with President Obama and
later with Prime Minister Shinzo
Abe of Japan, reaffirming their
intent to push for “strong and ef-
fective” new sanctions against
North Korea at the United Na-
tions Security Council, Ms. Park’s
office said. They also agreed to

Los Angeles Approves Plans to Fight Homelessness
By IAN LOVETT
LOS ANGELES — Five months after
declaring that homelessness here had
reached emergency proportions, city
and county officials on Tuesday ap-
proved parallel plans that aim to com-
bat the growing crisis of people living
on the streets.
The city’s plan — which comes with a
price of $100 million for homeless serv-
ices this year and nearly $2 billion over
the next decade for housing — includes
appointing a city homeless coordinator,
creating a network of public restrooms
and showers, and, most critically, mak-
ing a huge investment in affordable
housing. Rising rents and home prices
are considered prime culprits in the es-
calating number of homeless people
here; according to the federal Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment, Los Angeles County has the larg-
est chronic homeless population in the
country.
The plan approved by the county su-
pervisors, meanwhile, committed an ad-
ditional $150 million over the next two
years to services for the homeless.
While stubborn questions remain
about where the money will come from
and how quickly improvements can be
made, local officials declared that Tues-
day’s votes marked the start of a new
era for fighting homelessness in the re-
gion, after years in which the local gov-
ernments did not work together and
homeless people were chased from one
area to another.
“This is a historic moment for the
city,” said José Huizar, a city councilor
and sponsor of the legislation. “For the
first time in our recent memory, we
have a comprehensive approach.”
Mayor Eric Garcetti said that the
money would come from new revenue
and shifting existing funds, and that
voters would most likely be asked to ap-
prove more funding to address the issue
in November or in March of next year.
“This is the highest priority that we
have, to make sure that nobody is living
on the streets and nobody is without a
home,” the mayor said at a news confer-
ence after the City Council vote.
Mr. Garcetti said that significant
progress had been made in the past
year. He highlighted a collaboration

nor of Arizona — a state at the forefront
of immigration and border issues, with
a growing Latino population — Mr.
Ducey, a Republican, has done none of
that. He has avoided pressures from his
party’s presidential candidates even af-
ter one of them, Donald J. Trump, twice
visited the state to promote the “big”
and “beautiful” wall he said he would
build to keep illegal immigrants away if
he was elected.

with the county government to clean up
Skid Row, one of the nation’s largest
homeless encampments, with a goal of
reducing the population there by a
quarter before the end of the year.
The county’s homeless population
shot up 12 percent from 2013 to 2015, and
last year’s count put it at an estimated
44,000 people, with more than half of
those within the city limits. Officials
predict that this year’s numbers will be
even higher.
Marqueece Harris-Dawson, a city
councilor, said the expansion of en-
campments from downtown to freeway
overpasses throughout the city had
helped spur action. “All of us have en-
campments on one corner or another,
under one freeway pass or another,”
said Mr. Harris-Dawson, who co-spon-
sored the legislation.
Although the city is home to most of
the county’s homeless population, it is
the county, which runs the Public
Health Department and the jail system,
that provides most services for the
homeless. The county already spends
around $1 billion per year on health and
welfare for the homeless, as well as on
law enforcement to both help and police
the population. The additional county
funding will, in part, pay for short- and
LEGISLATION State Senator John Kavanagh, second from left, sponsored a bill that would

CRACKDOWN In October, undocumented immigrants in Mesa, Ariz., were lined up at a jet
chartered by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for deportation.
“I want this state to be known for
what it is, the land of opportunity,” Mr.
Ducey said in an interview. “So our
main focus is our economy and our edu-
cation system.”
But he may soon have to wade into
the divisive immigration debate, which
is again coloring Arizona’s legislative
session and bringing angry crowds of

long-term housing.
Though some advocates for the
homeless applauded the joint plans, oth-
ers said the efforts would not do nearly
enough to alleviate the suffering of
those on the street. Neither plan, for ex-
ample, addressed the ongoing com-
plaint that the police harass people for
sleeping on the streets — a policy that
advocates for the homeless refer to as
criminalization — and confiscate their
property.
Pete White of the Los Angeles Com-
munity Action Network, an anti-poverty
group, said the money the city had ear-
marked for emergency housing during
potential El Niño flooding was nowhere
near enough. “You must highlight crimi-
nalization,” Mr. White said. “Make sure
it’s not part of the plan.”
But Peter Lynn, the executive di-
rector of the Los Angeles Homeless
Services Authority, said the plans were
important steps forward, because they
identified just how much money would
be required to end one of the region’s
most intractable problems.
“Homelessness is at a crisis level in
Los Angeles,” Mr. Lynn said. “It’s going
to take time and serious resource in-
vestment to fix it, but the plans lay out a
road map to get us there.”
One bill would punish communities
that offer sanctuary to unauthorized im-
migrants facing deportation; those
communities’ share of state revenues
would be withheld. Another measure
would require judges to sentence un-
documented immigrants to the fullest
possible term in prison for whatever
crime they committed. A Senate com-
mittee approved both on Feb. 3 in party-
line votes.
Michigan Officials Defend
Handling of Outbreak in Flint
By MITCH SMITH
and ABBY GOODNOUGH
Michigan health officials on Tuesday
defended their handling of a deadly
Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in
Flint after widespread criticism of
their failure to promptly notify the
public, and questions about state reg-
ulators’ cooperation with their local
counterparts.
The Michigan Department of Health
and Human Services also released
emails related to its handling of the
outbreak, in a seeming attempt to
prove it sought a thorough investiga-
tion but was thwarted at times by local
health officials in Genesee County,
which includes Flint.
The health department acted as
state investigators on Tuesday said
that the scope of their inquiry into the
contamination of Flint’s water was
broad, and that charges could range
from involuntary manslaughter to offi-
cial misconduct. And Flint’s mayor
said residents had so little faith in the
government’s response to the problem
that the only way they could be re-
assured would be if all the lead service
lines in the city were replaced.
Gov. Rick Snyder was expected on
Wednesday to propose $195 million in
additional aid for Flint, according to a
state official who spoke on the condi-
tion of anonymity because the request
had not been made public. A spokes-
man for Mr. Snyder declined to com-
ment.
Federal, state and local officials
have been under scrutiny for how they
reacted to complaints about the qual-
ity of water in Flint after it was
switched to a new source, the Flint
River, in 2014. A trail of emails released
so far shows that various levels of gov-
ernment let months go by without
alerting residents to the danger com-
ing out of their taps. The water has
been linked to elevated levels of lead in
children’s blood in Flint, raising fears
that many will suffer from develop-
mental and physical disabilities for
years to come.
The state has also been criticized for
its delayed action after an outbreak in

Supreme Court Deals a Blow to Obama’s Efforts to Regulate Coal Emissions

From Page A1
plant rule as evidence that the
United States would take ambi-
tious action, and that other coun-
tries should follow.
Opponents of Mr. Obama’s cli-
mate policy called the court’s ac-
tion historic.
“We are thrilled that the Su-
preme Court realized the rule’s
immediate impact and froze its
implementation, protecting work-
ers and saving countless dollars
as our fight against its legality
continues,” said Patrick Morri-
sey, the attorney general of West
Virginia, which has led the 29-
state legal challenge.
“There’s a lot of people who
are celebrating,” said Jeff Holm-
stead, a lawyer with Bracewell &
Giuliani, a firm representing en-
ergy companies, which are party
to the lawsuit. “It sends a pretty
strong signal that ultimately it’s
pretty likely to be invalidated.”
The challenged regulation,
which was issued last summer by
the Environmental Protection
Agency, requires states to make
major cuts to greenhouse gas pol-
lution created by electric power
plants, the nation’s largest source
of such emissions. The plan could
transform the nation’s electricity
system, cutting emissions from
existing power plants by a third
by 2030, from a 2005 baseline, by
closing hundreds of heavily pol-
luting coal-fired plants and in-
creasing production of wind and
solar power.
“Climate change is the most
significant environmental chal-
lenge of our day, and it is already
affecting national public health,
welfare and the environment,”
Solicitor General Donald B. Ver-
rilli Jr. wrote in a brief urging the
Supreme Court to reject a re-
quest for a stay while the case
moves forward.
The regulation calls for states
to submit plans to comply with
the regulation by September,
though they may seek a two-year
extension. The first deadline for
power plants to reduce emissions
is in 2022, with full compliance
not required until 2030.
The states challenging the reg-
ulation, led mostly by Republi-
cans and many with economies
that rely on coal mining or coal-
fired power, sued to stop what
they called “the most far-reach-
ing and burdensome rule the
E.P.A. has ever forced onto the
states.”
A three-judge panel of the Unit-
ed States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit in
January unanimously refused to
grant a stay.
The court did expedite the case
and will hear arguments on June
2, which is fast by the standards
of complex litigation.
The states urged the Supreme
Court to take immediate action to
block what they called a “power
grab” under which “the federal
environmental regulator seeks to
reorganize the energy grids in
nearly every state in the nation.”
Though the first emission reduc-
tion obligations do not take effect
until 2022, the states said they
had already started to spend
money and shift resources to get
ready.
Eighteen states, mostly led by
Democrats, opposed the request
for a stay, saying they were “con-
tinuing to experience climate-
change harms firsthand — in-
cluding increased flooding, more
severe storms, wildfires and
droughts.” Those harms are
“lasting and irreversible,” they
Hints that a climate
change plan may face
a skeptical reception.
said, and “any stay that results in
further delay in emissions reduc-
tions would compound the harms
that climate change is already
causing.”
In a second filing seeking a
stay, coal companies and trade
associations represented by Lau-
rence H. Tribe, a law professor at
Harvard, said the court should
act to stop a “targeted attack on
the coal industry” that will “arti-
ficially eliminate buyers of coal,
forcing the coal industry to cur-
tail production, idle operations,
lay off workers and close mines.”
The E.P.A., represented by Mr.
Verrilli, called the requests for a
stay “extraordinary and unprece-
dented.” The states challenging
the administration’s plan, he said,
could point to no case in which
the Supreme Court had “granted
a stay of a generally applicable
regulation pending initial judicial
review in the court of appeals.” In
a later brief, the states conceded
that point.
Mr. Verrilli said judicial review
of the plan, including by the Su-
preme Court, will be complete be-
fore the first deadline for emis-
sions reductions in 2022.
“There is no reason to suppose
that states’ duties under the rule
will be especially onerous,” Mr.
Verrilli wrote. “A state can elect
not to prepare a plan at all, but in-
stead may allow E.P.A. to develop
and implement a federal plan for
sources in that state.”
The two sides differed about
whether current declines in coal
mining and coal-fired power gen-
eration are attributable to the ad-
ministration’s plan. “Some of the
nation’s largest coal companies
have declared bankruptcy, due in
no small part to the rule,” a group
of utilities told the justices.
Mr. Tribe added that the plan
“will cause the closure of 53 coal-
fired plants in 2016 and another
three in 2018.”
A coalition of environmental
groups and companies that
produce and rely on wind and so-
lar power said other factors were
to blame for coal’s decline.
“These changes include the
abundant supply of relatively in-
expensive natural gas, the in-
creasing cost-competitiveness of
electricity from renewable gener-
ation sources such as solar and
wind power, the deployment of
low-cost energy efficiency and
other demand-side measures,
and increasing consumer de-
mand for advanced energy, as
well as the rising costs of coal
production and the high costs of
maintaining very old coal-fired
plants,” they wrote.

Texas: Suspect in Deputy’s Killing Is Ruled Incompetent

A Houston man accused of fatally shooting a Harris County sheriff’s
deputy at a gas station last summer has been ruled mentally incompe-
tent to stand trial for capital murder. Judge Susan Brown of State Dis-
trict Court in Houston on Tuesday ordered that the man, Shannon
Miles, 31, be sent to a mental hospital. After four months of medication
and treatment, his competency will be re-evaluated. Harris County
prosecutors did not dispute arguments from Mr. Miles’s lawyers that
he is schizophrenic and does not understand the seriousness of the le-

Goforth, who was shot 15 times while putting gas in his patrol car.
Records show Mr. Miles has been committed to mental health facilities

tion that the cause of the Le-

County was the drinking water.
Dr. Wells said last week that
there had been no new cases
since October, when the city
switched back to getting its water
from Lake Huron.
Michigan’s attorney general
said Tuesday that a team of sev-
eral investigators had already be-
gun looking at evidence related
to Flint’s water troubles.
Investigators say a
wide range of charges
is possible.
“We’re here to investigate
what possible crimes there are,
from anything to the involuntary
manslaughter or death that may
have happened to some young
person or older person because of
this poisoning, to misconduct in
office,” said Todd Flood, special
counsel for the state’s Flint in-
vestigation. “We take this very
seriously.”
Also on Tuesday, Mayor Karen
Weaver said the city would start
replacing the lead service lines
connecting individual homes to
the city water system. She called
on the state and federal govern-
ments to help with the estimated
$55 million needed to replace
15,000 lines in the next year.
“We deserve new pipes,” said
Ms. Weaver, who was elected last

Minnesota: Rights Groups Sue for Release of Video
The Minnesota chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and the
Minneapolis N.A.A.C.P. filed a lawsuit Tuesday in hopes of forcing the
authorities to release video from the night a black man was killed by a
Minneapolis police officer. Jamar Clark, 24, was shot Nov. 15 during
what the authorities called a struggle. But others have said Mr. Clark
was handcuffed at the time. His death prompted an 18-day occupation
outside a police precinct where demonstrators demanded that video of
the shooting be released. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehen-
sion said it had video from several sources, but none showed the entire
episode. It has said it will not release video until the case is closed. The
lawsuit notes that Gov. Mark Dayton viewed video recorded by an am-

For Obama, One Last Budget, and One Last Budget Battle With Congress
By JACKIE CALMES
WASHINGTON — President
Obama on Tuesday sent his final
annual budget proposal to a hos-
tile Republican-led Congress, re-
jecting the lame-duck label to de-
clare that his plan “is about look-
ing forward,” with new initiatives
that include $19 billion for a broad
cybersecurity plan.
The budget for the 2017 fiscal
year, which starts Oct. 1, would
top $4 trillion, although just over
one-quarter of that is the so-
called discretionary spending for
domestic and military programs
that the president and Congress
dicker over each year. The rest is
for mandatory spending, chiefly
interest on the federal debt and
the Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid benefits that are ex-
panding automatically as the
population ages.
The deficit would increase in
this fiscal year to $616 billion
from $438 billion last year, the
budget projects, in part because
of tax cuts that Mr. Obama and
Congress agreed in December to
make permanent. That would
make this year’s shortfall equal
to 3.3 percent of the economy’s
output, or gross domestic prod-
uct, up from 2.5 percent and ex-
ceeding the 3 percent threshold
that economists consider sustain-
able for a growing economy.
Mr. Obama’s proposed 10-year
savings — some spending cuts,
but primarily almost $3 trillion in
higher taxes from wealthy indi-
viduals and some businesses, in-
cluding a $10-a-barrel fee on
crude oil — would push deficits
down again for a couple years
and offset costs of the president’s
proposed initiatives.
Then deficits would begin in-

Costs of Conflicts Linger
In Military Spending Plan
By HELENE COOPER
WASHINGTON — President
Obama’s final defense budget ac-
knowledges that despite his oft-
repeated pledge to end two pro-
tracted, costly and exhausting
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,
the country’s military will remain
on war fronts when he departs
the White House.
Mr. Obama’s request would
keep the Pentagon budget largely
flat, with a base defense budget
of $524 billion in the 2017 fiscal
year, a slight decrease from this
A small decrease, but

year’s base spending of $534 bil-
lion.
But that small decrease would
be offset by $59 billion to pay for
military operations in the con-
flicts in Iraq and Syria, as well as
the continued American pres-
ence in Afghanistan, alongside a
new emerging threat: Russia.
That is up from $51 billion for
overseas operations in the cur-
rent fiscal year, which ends Sept.
30.
The proposal increases spend-
ing on the fight against the Is-
lamic State to $7.5 billion from $5
billion, a 50 percent rise. Included
in the request for money to fight
the Islamic State is $200 million
in new spending to confront the
Sunni militant extremist group in
North and West Africa, defense
officials said. While the officials
declined to specify which coun-
tries would receive the funding,
military experts pointed to Libya.

Progressive Change Campaign
Committee, a grass-roots organ-
izing group that supports Mr.
Sanders. “But a new Democratic
president winning on something
like a trillion-dollar infrastruc-
ture proposal would reset the de-
bate.”
Perhaps no set of budgetary
ideas better illustrates the presi-
dent’s limited approach than
those relating to worker pen-
sions, which would cost about $18
billion over the next decade. The
president is proposing a variety
of changes, including making it
easier for small-business employ-
ees to buy into pooled 401(k)
plans, which typically have lower
costs than plans offered only to
employees of a single small busi-
ness.
Mr. Obama also wants to en-
courage more employers to auto-
matically enroll workers in
creasing again with the retire-
ment and health costs of aging
Americans. The administration
says annual deficits would re-
main below 3 percent of the gross
domestic product through the
decade to 2026. The accumulated
debt held by the public would
grow from $14 trillion currently to
$21.3 trillion in that time, but
measured against a growing
economy, the debt would be sta-
ble at about 75 percent of gross
domestic product.
While Mr. Obama has achieved
little to restrain the growth of the
entitlement programs that many
consider unsustainable, deficits
would not return to levels ex-
ceeding $1 trillion, and nearly 10
percent of the gross domestic
product, like the deficit he inher-
ited in 2009, his budget projects.
That prompted the legacy-
minded president to take some-
thing of a victory lap in his budg-
et’s opening message. Striking an
optimistic tone that contrasted
sharply with the doomsday talk
from Republican presidential
candidates and congressional Re-
publicans, he wrote, “Together,
we have brought America back.”
“We’ve made a lot of progress
over the past seven years on our
economy,” he later said at the
White House. “Unemployment is
down. Deficits are down. Gas
prices are down. Job creation,
wages, the rate of Americans
with health coverage are all up.”
“America is as strongly posi-
tioned as any country on earth to
take advantage of the opportuni-
ties of the 21st century,” Mr. Oba-
ma added.
Republicans disagreed.
“This budget joins his others
by placing America on a fiscal
path that is unsustainable and
threatens our long-term econom-
ic growth,” said Senator Michael
Over all, that puts the Penta-
gon budget — second only to So-
cial Security in the federal budget
— at $583 billion in 2017, about $1
billion short of 2016.
Congressional Republicans im-
mediately demanded more.
While last year’s congressional
budget deal set Pentagon funding
guidelines for 2016 and 2017, Re-
publicans said those guidelines,
particularly for war funding,
were a floor and not a ceiling.
“An adequate national defense
requires significantly more fund-
ing,” Representative Mac Thorn-
berry of Texas, the chairman of
the House Armed Services Com-
mittee, said in a letter to the
House Budget Committee that
was signed by 33 other House Re-
publicans. Mr. Thornberry sug-
gested that House Republicans
might “insist upon” $15 billion to
$23 billion more.
The letter reflected increased
concern among Republicans in
Congress about national security
in light of attacks in Paris and
San Bernardino, Calif., last year,
congressional aides said.
Senior defense leaders, includ-
ing Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr.,
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, have made clear their in-
creased worry about the spread
of the Islamic State in Libya, and
the chances that the group could
spawn offshoots in other parts of
North Africa.
The request for the increased
money for North and West Africa
is a sign that the United States is
considering stepped-up action in
Libya. Already national security
agencies have increased recon-
naissance flights and intelligence
collecting there, and the Penta-
gon is preparing for possible air-
strikes and commando raids, sen-
ior American policy makers,
commanders and intelligence of-
401(k) programs and allow them
to opt out, which yields greater
participation and retirement sav-
ings than simply offering plans to
those who sign up.
But the proposals are a far cry
from resurrecting the so-called
defined benefit model that
reigned during the decades after
World War II, said Teresa Ghilar-
ducci, who studies pension sys-
tems at the New School for Social
Research. She has proposed a
system of portable individual ac-
counts in which contributions are
pooled, workers are guaranteed a
minimum 2 percent rate of re-
turn, and the benefits are doled
out annually after retirement so
that workers do not prematurely
run down their savings.
Likewise, the wage insurance
proposal would provide many
former manufacturing workers
who settle for lower-paying serv-
ice jobs with a wage supplement
equivalent to half the difference
between their current and previ-
ous annual pay. That supplement

The proposal is embedded in a
broader overhaul of the unem-
ployment insurance system,
which would ensure that all
states offer at least 26 weeks of
benefits (nine currently do not),
extend benefits to part-time
workers and others left out of the
current system, and automatical-
ly provide up to a year’s worth of
additional benefits in states
where the unemployment rate
exceeds a series of thresholds.
Still, for manufacturing work-
ers, those efforts will seem vastly
inferior to rebuilding the domes-
tic manufacturing base, some-
thing the budget only feints at
through small investments in
manufacturing research and de-
velopment and subsidies to help
small manufacturers scale up op-
erations. (The budget does pro-
pose a major investment in clean-
transportation research.)

To be sure, the White House is

searchers at Duke University
suggests that this level could di-
rectly and indirectly generate a

though only about 10 percent of
those would be in manufacturing.
The moderation of many of the
president’s budget proposals for
workers and the economy reflect
the White House belief that, even
at this late date in the administra-
tion, it may be able to strike a
handful of deals with Republican
leaders in Congress.

As for the rest of the $1.2 tril-
lion in discretionary spending in
the budget, about half would go
to domestic programs and half to
the military.
To pay for his initiatives and
reduce deficits, Mr. Obama added
to a raft of tax proposals he has
made for years to close loopholes
and limit breaks for the wealthy
and some businesses. Cigarette
taxes would go up to finance uni-
versal prekindergarten, and oth-
er new revenues would go to-
ward initiatives including worker
retirement savings options, wage
insurance, college assistance and
an expanded earned-income tax
credit for childless workers — an
idea Mr. Ryan has proposed.
Some administration officials
said the nearly $3 trillion in tax
increases over 10 years would
achieve rough parity in deficit re-
duction efforts after five years in
which Mr. Obama and congres-
sional Republicans have cut $4
trillion in spending to reduce def-
icits.
Republicans rebuffed the pro-
posed tax increases, as they have
in the past. Yet a few of Mr. Oba-
ma’s revenue ideas in the past ul-
timately have been embraced in
bipartisan budget deals to offset
the costs of initiatives popular in
both parties.
Administration officials point-
ed to a number of initiatives that
could draw support from some
Republicans, especially senators
vulnerable in this election year.
Such initiatives include increased
spending to treat people addicted
to opioids and heroin, cancer re-
search, efforts to overhaul the
criminal justice system, and

Trump and Sanders Claim Resounding Victories in New Hampshire

Maine to California,” Mr. Sanders
said. “And that is that the govern-
ment of our great country be-
longs to all of the people, and not
just a handful of wealthy cam-
paign contributors and their ‘su-
per PACs.’”
While Mr. Sanders led New
Hampshire polls for the last
month, and Mr. Trump was ahead
here since July, the wave of sup-
port for both men was nonethe-
less stunning to leaders of both
parties who believed that in the
end, voters would embrace more
experienced candidates like Mrs.
Clinton or one of the Republican
governors in the race. Yet the two
men won significant support
from voters who felt betrayed by
their parties and were dissatis-
fied or angry with the federal
government.
Beyond Mr. Trump, four Re-
publicans were clustered togeth-
er, each receiving less than 20
percent of the vote. Mr. Kasich’s
surprise second-place finish was
driven by voters who described
themselves as moderates and in-
dependents and were charmed
by his pragmatism and his up-
beat campaign. Effectively skip-
ping Iowa, Mr. Kasich spent 62
days in New Hampshire, holding
106 town hall-style events.
“We never went negative be-
cause we have more good to sell
than to spend our time being crit-
ical of somebody else,” an ebul-
lient Mr. Kasich told supporters,
vowing “to reshine America, to
restore the spirit of America and
to leave no one behind.”
But as striking as Mr. Kasich’s
surge may have been, the fall of
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida
may have been more significant.
Mr. Rubio initially appeared to be
capitalizing on his strong finish in
Iowa, rising in the polls here, but
a disastrous debate performance
on Saturday halted his momen-
tum. Mr. Rubio; Senator Ted
Cruz of Texas, who won the lead-
off Iowa caucuses; and Mr. Bush,
whose campaign was all but left
for dead after a series of poor de-
bate performances and staff cut-
backs, were bunched together.
Gov. Chris Christie of New Jer-
sey finished a disappointing sixth
after staking his campaign here.
With little money left and a slim
chance of being eligible for a Re-
publican debate on Saturday, the
governor said he was going back
to New Jersey on Wednesday “to
take a deep breath.” Supporters
of Mr. Bush, who formed an alli-
ance with Mr. Christie here as
both sought to diminish Mr. Ru-
bio, are lobbying him to endorse
the former Florida governor.
Mr. Trump’s win is the biggest
victory in a New Hampshire Re-
publican primary since at least
2000. He won pluralities of both
Republican and independent vot-
ers, and showed strength across
demographic groups. At an exu-
berant victory party at a banquet
hall in Manchester, people waved
foam fingers reading “You’re
hired!” or “Make America great
again!” Mr. Trump’s remarks
ranged from emotional expres-
sions of thanks to his late parents
to more belligerent assertions
that echoed his stump speech.

As Trump Wins, the Mainstream G.O.P. Is Left to Muddle On
By ALEXANDER BURNS
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Re-
publican leaders had aimed to
bring a swift and orderly resolu-
tion to the party’s presidential
primaries, avoiding a long and
costly fight that could stretch
well into the spring.
Tuesday’s New Hampshire pri-
mary dashed those hopes.
Despite strenuous efforts to
overtake Donald J. Trump, none
of his mainstream Republican op-
ponents stood out from the pack.
Now, they are left to muddle for-
ward with no particular momen-
tum into the next contests in
South Carolina and Nevada.
If any strong alternative to Mr.
Trump is to emerge, senior Re-
publicans say, it will most likely
come only after a long nomina-
tion fight, spanning dozens of
states and costing many millions
of dollars. At this stage, his most
formidable rival appears to be
Ted Cruz, the hard-right Texas
senator who won last week’s
Iowa caucuses, and who is even
less acceptable to traditional par-
ty leaders than Mr. Trump.
Former Representative Thom-
as M. Reynolds of New York, who
led the Republicans’ campaign
committee in the House of Repre-
sentatives from 2003 to 2006, said
there would ultimately be room
in the Republican race for just
one candidate besides Mr. Trump
and Mr. Cruz. The New Hamp-
shire outcome, he said, will most
ated,” vowed Mr. Trump, adding
that he would “knock the hell out
of ISIS,” or the Islamic State.
Mr. Trump’s performance here,
which followed Mr. Cruz’s victory
in Iowa, has left the party estab-
lishment with two leading candi-
dates who Republican leaders be-
lieve cannot win a November
general election.
And with Mr. Rubio unable to
establish himself as the clear al-
ternative, the Republican race

tle more clarity than before New
Hampshire voted.   try to fathom the depth of Mrs.
For the Democrats, Mr. Sand-
ers’s popularity with liberals,
young people, and some women
and working-class white men has
underscored potential vulnerabil-
ities for Mrs. Clinton in the nomi-
nating contests ahead. She is now
under enormous pressure to
prove that her message can in-
spire and rally voters.
In a punchy concession speech,
Mrs. Clinton tried to look beyond
New Hampshire and pledged to
likely leave the traditional Re-
publican candidates fighting
among themselves. “For the es-
tablishment, it’s almost like a
hockey fight,” Mr. Reynolds said.
“And the gloves are off and the
refs can’t get in the middle of it.”
For a brief moment after the
Iowa caucuses, Republicans be-
lieved that Senator Marco Rubio
of Florida, the third-place finish-
er there, might catch up with Mr.
Trump and perhaps even over-
take him in New Hampshire. But
after Gov. Chris Christie of New
Jersey embarrassed him in a de-
bate on Saturday, Mr. Rubio’s
support appeared to deflate. He
was on track Tuesday to finish
with a cluster of runners-up, in a
group that included Mr. Cruz and
former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida,
according to exit polls.
After fiercely defending his de-
bate performance over the week-
end, Mr. Rubio admitted in a
speech Tuesday night that his
clash with Mr. Christie had been
disastrous, and pledged he would
not stumble so badly again.
Gov. John Kasich of Ohio fin-
ished second in New Hampshire,
where he concentrated virtually
all his energy and campaign
spending in the race and offered
himself explicitly as a softer-
edged Republican who could
work with Democrats in Wash-
ington. But Mr. Kasich took less

mary vote. Mr. Christie, whose

said. “We’re going to fight for ev-

Clinton advisers gritted their

ry. The Clinton strategy depends
on her beating Mr. Sanders
among women and attracting
large numbers of minority voters,
like Hispanics in Nevada and Af-
rican-Americans in South Caroli-
na. Those states hold the next
Democratic contests, later this
month.
Both the Sanders and Clinton
campaigns have built robust po-
litical operations in those next
states, but Sanders advisers say
momentum is on their side after
the New Hampshire victory and
a near-tie in the Iowa caucuses.
Mr. Sanders is also hoping that
his proposals for a $15 minimum
wage and a breakup of big banks
will find support in vote-rich Las
Vegas and Reno, where many
people earn low wages and lost
homes to banks after the 2008 fi-
nancial crisis.
A win for Mr. Sanders in the
Feb. 20 Nevada caucuses would
raise additional doubts about
Mrs. Clinton. Perhaps wary
about her chances there, her
campaign manager sent a memo
to supporters Tuesday night urg-
ing them to focus on the contests
in March, when some 56 percent
of delegates will be awarded.
But first Mrs. Clinton and her
husband must shake off the New
Hampshire loss, one of the most
stinging of their long political ca-
reers.
The couple have been unusual-
ly attached to this state for dec-
ades: Bill Clinton stabilized his
scandal-plagued presidential bid
in 1992 with a second-place finish

said he had reviewed the dele-
gate allocation rules for every
state and concluded that Mr.
Trump would have to capture
about 45 percent of the popular
vote to win a majority of dele-
gates for the convention. Mr.
Trump has not approached that
threshold in the polls so far, and
Mr. Leavitt said no other candi-
date was likely to do so as long as
so many of them remained in the
race. “It will be difficult for him to
be a breakaway front-runner,”
Mr. Leavitt said of Mr. Trump.
“There are a lot of candidates
that have staying power, whether
it’s by living off the land or a ‘su-
in the primary, and Mrs. Clinton
made her own comeback in 2008
by winning here with 39 percent
of the vote after losing the Iowa
caucuses to Barack Obama.
This time around, the Clintons
tried to diminish the state’s im-
portance by arguing that Mr.
Sanders had an advantage be-
cause he was from a neighboring
state. But they campaigned vig-
orously all the same, and Mr.

The defeat also powerfully cap-
tured the way the Democratic
electorate has changed since the
Clintons held power in the 1980s
in Arkansas; in the 1990s in the
White House; and through early
2009, when Mrs. Clinton gave up
her Senate seat in New York to
become secretary of state. The
party’s restive left wing is ex-
erting much more influence, part-
ly because of anger at the finan-
cial industry and establishment
politics after the Great Reces-
sion. Mrs. Clinton, in turn, has al-
ways come across as a pragma-
tist more than a dreamer, and she
per PAC’ or a combination.”
If there was any encouraging
news from New Hampshire for
national Republican leaders, it
may have been from the Demo-
cratic primary, where Hillary
Clinton lost by a lopsided margin
to Bernie Sanders, the Vermont
senator running on a hard-edge
message of economic populism.
Democrats acknowledged on
Tuesday that the anger that rip-
pled through the Republican elec-
torate had also crossed party
lines, and deeply unsettled a race
in which Mrs. Clinton once
seemed to have an open path to
the party’s nomination.
Howard Dean, the former Ver-
mont governor and Democratic
Party chairman, said he expected
a long fight on the Democratic
side, even if Mrs. Clinton regains
a measure of momentum in the
South Carolina primary and Ne-
vada caucuses later this month.
“Hillary is going to do much
better in states that look much
more like the rest of America,”
said Mr. Dean, who is supporting
Mrs. Clinton. The state of the
Democratic race would be more
concerning, he said, if not for the
apparent disarray on the Repub-
lican side. Both Mr. Trump and
Mr. Cruz are seen as vulnerable
in a general election because of
their hard-line politics.
As election returns in New
Hampshire gave little clarity to
the Republican race beyond Mr.

rarely intones a vision of America
that is broadly inspiring.
“That lack of idealism is what
allowed Obama to beat her, and
it’s giving Bernie room to grow,”
said Dan Payne, a Democratic
strategist in Boston who sup-
ports Mrs. Clinton.
The unaffiliated New Hamp-
shire voters who participated in
both party primaries, and who
supported Mr. Trump and Mr.
Sanders in sizable numbers, ap-
pear to have found those candi-
dates’ anti-establishment mes-
sages to be an asset.
Mr. Trump disregarded the
time-honored New Hampshire
traditions of lavishing personal
attention on voters. Instead, he
flew in and out of the state on his
private jet when the weather co-
operated, held raucous rallies,
and won support by faulting im-
migrants who entered the coun-
try illegally for crime and job
losses, proposing a temporary
ban on Muslims to prevent ter-
rorism. He may have held fewer
events here than any other Re-
publican except Ben Carson, but
his voters cared little.
His approach here, and his suc-
cess, have left New Hampshire’s
Republican leaders, who jealous-
ly guard their first-in-the-nation
status, both perplexed and ap-
palled.
“By name, I only know five
people supporting Donald
Trump,” John H. Sununu, a for-
mer governor, said Tuesday. “So
I say I cannot understand this
electorate.”

Mr. Rubio, Mr. Bush and Mr.

Mr. Kasich has vowed to com-

explicitly moderate brand of Re-

ELECTION 2016

Polls Show Terror Fears

Aided Trump and Youth
Helped Propel Sanders
By JOHN M. BRODER
Two-thirds of New Hampshire
Republican primary voters agree
with Donald J. Trump’s proposal
to temporarily bar Muslims from
entering the United States. And
they overwhelmingly express
fear of another terrorist attack.
On the Democratic side, young
voters and those most concerned
about inequality and political in-
tegrity gave Bernie Sanders a
convincing victory.
Those concerns helped drive
Mr. Trump and Mr. Sanders to
victory in New Hampshire on
Tuesday night. Exit polls offered
a portrait of the first wave of
American voters to cast ballots in
a 2016 election that has already
defied expectations and posed a
sharp challenge to leading politi-
cal dynasties.
Democratic voters valuing
honesty or empathy over experi-
ence or electability propelled Mr.
Sanders to a solid victory. As in
Iowa a week ago, the Vermont
senator trounced Hillary Clinton
cratic electorate —- has put him
in a surprisingly strong position
after the first two contests.
In New Hampshire, Mr. Sand-
ers was backed by more than half
of women, particularly younger
women.
Kelley Harrington, 28, a regis-
tered Democrat, cast her ballot
for Mr. Sanders in Dover, N.H.,
on Tuesday morning.
“He just seemed really humble
and, like, a decent person, which
is not often come by in politi-
cians,” said Ms. Harrington, a ca-
tering manager at a Panera
Bread restaurant. “I like how he
likes the middle class, and wants
to take away from the rich and
give to the poor.”
More than four in 10 of those
who voted in the Republican pri-
mary identified as independents,
and they largely backed Mr.
Trump. Only about 15 percent of
voters in the Republican primary
were first-time voters, compared
with 12 percent in 2012. They, too,

His win signals not just a po-

spread their message — social
media over mainstream media;
television shows rather than

also confirms the growing chasm
between the Republican Party’s
leaders and its voters. Mr. Trump
has run hard on anxiety over ter-

Race Goes to South Carolina, With No Clear Republican Threat to Trump

By TRIP GABRIEL
COLUMBIA, S.C. — With Don-
ald J. Trump’s decisive victory in
New Hampshire and no strong
runner-up among a pack of also-
rans, the Republican race bar-
reled into South Carolina on
Wednesday shadowed by a ques-
tion: whether any alternative
candidate can gain enough sup-
port to threaten Mr. Trump’s
drive to the nomination.
Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, the
second-place finisher in New
Hampshire with less than half the
support of Mr. Trump, arrives in
this more conservative Southern
state where he has little staff or
support. Senator Ted Cruz of Tex-
as, resuming an effort here to en-
list the Christian right, the key to
his victory in Iowa, faces a play-
ing field where evangelical voters
are far less monolithic. And for-

Senator Marco Rubio, has a

Sentences Officer Aimed at Man in Stairwell, Prosecution Argues
Diverge for 2
In ’81 Robbery
For eccentric paths followed by the
justice system, few moments can sur-
pass the events of this week.
On Tuesday, nearly every living
president of the New York City bar
association signed a plea
JIM for clemency on behalf of
Judith Clark, who drove a
DWYER getaway car during the
murderous raid on a Brink’s
ABOUT armored car in 1981 in Ny-
NEW YORK ack, N.Y. Prison officials
have said Ms. Clark had undergone an
extraordinary transformation during
nearly 35 years in prison, but she is not
eligible to be considered for parole until
2056, when she would be 107 years old.
By contrast, the man who was the
ringleader of that same robbery and
another in the Bronx, is due to be re-
leased on Wednesday from a federal
prison in California, exactly 30 years
after he was captured.
That man, Mutulu Shakur, the stepfa-
ther of the rapper Tupac Shakur, was
sentenced in 1988 to 60 years with a
federal judge’s strong recommendation
— but not a requirement — “that no
parole consideration be given until the
maximum sentence has been served.”
The same judge, Charles S. Haight
Jr., refused to modify his sentence in
2014, but Mr. Shakur convinced federal
parole authorities that he should be
released after serving 30 years. That
was possible under the laws in effect at
the time of his sentencing.
Mr. Shakur was described at his
federal trial as the leader of a gang of
revolutionaries who robbed armored
cars, killing guards in the Bronx and
Nyack, as well as two police officers in
Nyack. He was also
convicted of leading
the escape of Joanne
D. Chesimard from a
New Jersey prison
where she was being
held for the murder
of a state trooper. In
prison, prosecutors
said, Mr. Shakur had
Judith Clark “a record of being
in 1981. transferred from
facility to facility as a
problem inmate.”
Word of his pending release stunned
Kerri Martin Bartlett, a former assist-
ant United States attorney who had
helped prosecute Mr. Shakur.
“I never thought he would be re-
leased,” Ms. Martin Bartlett said. “I
thought he would spend his entire
natural life in prison.”
Federal prison officials did not re-
spond to a request for comment on
Tuesday.
Mr. Shakur, who was a fugitive for
five years after the Nyack robbery and
killings, was arrested on Feb. 11, 1986,
and prosecuted under federal laws.
Ms. Clark was arrested near the
scene of the Nyack robbery in 1981, and
was tried in state court, where she
presented herself as an unrepentant
radical who refused to recognize the
legitimacy of the court. She was sen-
tenced to a minimum of 75 years to life.
After planning an escape, she spent two
years in solitary confinement. By all
accounts, she emerged a changed per-
son, and led educational programs, a
prenatal center for inmates, and trains
dogs as guides for the blind, explosive-
detection dogs, and service dogs for
disabled veterans. Ms. Clark received
strong endorsements from a former
superintendent of the prison where she
has been held. A former state parole
commissioner has said that he has
never seen a more deserving candidate.
She has expressed remorse.
Even so, she cannot be considered for
parole until she has served 75 years,
unless a governor grants clemency that
would allow her to apply early. She has
been turned down repeatedly.
“This woman did a terrible thing,”
said Michael A. Cardozo, who served as
New York City’s corporation counsel for
12 years. “And she has changed.”
Mr. Cardozo, who is also a former
president of the city bar, organized the
clemency plea by 13 former presidents
after being contacted by Ms. Clark’s
current lawyer, Steve Zeiden. “Every
living past president signed it, except
one who has served as a prosecutor
and had a conflict,” Mr. Cardozo said.
The people killed during the rob-
beries were two police officers, Waverly
Brown and Edward O’Grady, and two
Brink’s guards, Paul Paige and William
Moroney. Relatives of those killed or
maimed in Nyack have opposed clem-
ency for Ms. Clark, a position for which
Mr. Cardozo said he had sympathy.
“It’s a horrible, horrible thing that
this woman did,” Mr. Cardozo said.
“You need deterrence. What does that
mean? Lock them up forever? What
purpose is to be served by that?”
Last fall, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said
he wanted to expand opportunities for
parole and clemency after years in
which many governors had curtailed
use of those powers. The case of Ms.
Clark remains raw, emotionally and
politically. She and another man, David
Gilbert, are the only two of the gang
members who will remain in prison
after the release of Mr. Shakur.
Ms. Clark’s lawyer said that if Ms.
Clark’s sentence of 75 to life is not mod-
ified, it ought to be called what it is:
“ ‘We sentence you to death in prison.’”

In closing arguments on Tuesday at
the manslaughter trial of a New York
City police officer charged in the shoot-
ing of an unarmed man, the prosecution
presented a new argument to jurors: The
officer did not mistakenly fire a bullet
that ricocheted off a wall and killed Akai
Gurley, who was walking down the stairs
of a Brooklyn housing project, as the de-
fense has argued.
Instead, the officer, Peter Liang, had
seen Mr. Gurley, 28, while on a routine
patrol and aimed, a prosecutor argued in
State Supreme Court in Brooklyn. “He
pointed his gun,” Joe Alexis, an assistant
district attorney said, “and shot Akai
Gurley.”
The argument was a departure from
the prosecution’s theme during the pre-
vious days of the trial, in which Officer
Liang, 28, was painted as reckless, inept
and craven, appearing to care only about
his job in the minutes after firing, not
whether anyone had been hurt.
The bullet from Officer Liang’s gun hit
a wall, Mr. Alexis suggested during clos-
ing arguments, because the officer
missed. “The bullet shot very close to
where Akai Gurley stood,” he said, “and
ripped through his heart.”
The shooting took place on Nov. 20,
2014, at the Louis H. Pink houses in the
East New York neighborhood of Brook-
lyn, where Officer Liang, a rookie police
officer, was assigned to patrol. In testi-
mony on Monday, Officer Liang said he
had been startled by a noise and flinched,
Awaiting Winter’s Arrival Upstate
Each Snowless Day Brings a Sense of the Surreal
Unseasonably warm temperatures forced the builders of the Ice Palace at the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival to put it under a tarp last week.
By VIVIAN YEE
SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. — It was bad
enough when the lake, usually frozen by
mid-December, remained liquid until
January, then strained to produce more
than a few inches of ice with which to
build this village’s cherished annual Ice
Palace.
It was worse when the skies declined
to provide snow, leaving the organizers
of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival
with an image problem — the
“Adirondacks’ coolest place,” draped in
dead grass and mud — and a quandary:
Assuming they could find enough snow
to truck into town, should it go to the Ice
Palace, where a mixture of water and
snow is used to cement the blocks togeth-
er, or the arctic mini-golf course, whose
obstacles are built entirely of snow?
But it was not until the temperatures
suffered a two-week quaver, the cold last-
ing barely long enough for the Ice Palace
team to put the blocks in place, that
things took a truly glum turn.
“We’re lucky we got as far as we did,”
said Dean Baker, the head palace builder,
stoic in the face of calamity, “before it
melted.”
Much depends on the forecast here in
the Adirondacks, where ski resorts are
struggling for snow, motels for guests
and restaurants for diners. But the
weather patterns that brought a 66-de-
gree Christmas to New York City have
flummoxed daily life across upstate New
York, too, infusing each snowless day
with a sense of the surreal.
The snowplows have sat largely quiet.
The ice fishers have evacuated the lakes.
The long-planned tropical vacations do
not seem quite so urgent, even as frigid
temperatures are expected to return this
inadvertently causing the gun to go off.
In his closing argument, Robert E.
Brown, a lawyer for Officer Liang, por-
trayed him as a novice who brandished
his gun inside the stairwell, where the
lights were not working, because the po-
lice are trained that such areas are per-
ilous. The prosecution has argued that
patrolling with an
unholstered gun
was reckless in an
area used by build-
ing residents.
To convict Offi-
cer Liang of man-
slaughter, the ju-
rors would have to
find that he had
recklessly caused
the death, Justice
Officer Peter Danny K. Chun told
Liang them before they
began delibera-
tions late Tuesday afternoon. They
would have to conclude that Officer
Liang’s conduct created a substantial or
unjustifiable risk that Mr. Gurley would
be killed, and that in a “gross deviation”
from a reasonable person’s conduct, he
was aware of that risk and consciously
disregarded it, the judge said.
Officer Liang has testified that he did
not realize anyone had been shot until
minutes after he fired, when he in-
spected the staircase in search of his bul-
let and found Mr. Gurley, on a landing
several floors down, his girlfriend franti-
cally trying to revive him. He has also
week.
For tourism-dependent upstate areas,
this winter has been only the latest slap
in a series of climatic indignities, the me-
teorological equivalent of running up the
score. Last winter’s unrelenting polar
vortex kept would-be visitors huddled at
home. Spring showed up late, and sum-
mer only in July. Fall meandered on well
into December.
“This could turn into, ‘It’s snowing in
mid-June,’” said Greg Coffin, the head
technician at Lake Placid Ski and Board.
“And this is going to happen again.”

been charged with official misconduct
for failing to provide CPR to Mr. Gurley.
The government contended that the
officer had violated rules that police offi-
cers must obey in two ways: by failing to
adhere to police duties and by violating
Mr. Gurley’s lawful right to such aid. On
Tuesday, after closing arguments, Jus-
tice Chun said the prosecution had not

shown that Officer Liang was bound by
law to render aid and threw out that por-
tion of the charge.
His lawyer, Mr. Brown, said in his clos-
ing arguments that Officer Liang had in
fact radioed for help the night of the
shooting. A recording of a police radio
call introduced into evidence by the pros-
ecution indicates that while Officer
Liang did report the shooting, he did not
ask for an ambulance. The defense says
he did, but poor reception made his re-
quest inaudible.
Mr. Brown said that to find Officer
Liang guilty of official misconduct, the
jury would have to determine that he
knowingly did not perform his duties, to
obtain a benefit or deprive another of a

benefit. He asked the jury, “What possi-
ble benefit could he have for not render-
ing aid to Mr. Gurley?”
Mr. Brown characterized Officer Liang
as brave, even heroic, for entering the
dark staircase. “When he got to that
stairwell,” Mr. Brown said to the jury, “he
didn’t say, ‘They don’t pay me enough to
go in there.’ But he opened the door. And
unfortunately he got startled, and we
ended up here.”
“What happened here is a terrible
tragedy,” he added. “But it’s not a crime.”
In contrast, Mr. Alexis, who bran-
dished Officer Liang’s gun during clos-
ing arguments, spoke in a booming voice
at times as he dismissed any notion that
the shooting was an accident.
“Don’t believe that Peter Liang didn’t
know someone was there,” Mr. Alexis
said, arguing that though it was dark,
anyone in the stairwell would have been
silhouetted by light from a hallway pour-
ing in when Officer Liang opened the
door.
He added that Mr. Liang was looking
for the bullet casing, which could be used
to identify the gun from which it came, to
“cover up” what he had done.
During a break on Tuesday, Mr. Gur-
ley’s aunt, Hertencia Peterson, who has
attended every day of the trial, stood
with several women, discussing the case.
They seemed focused not on what did
happen the night of the shooting, but
what did not. “He didn’t even check his

At Council Hearing on Mayor’s Housing Plan, Many Voices Rise Prosecutor
By MIREYA NAVARRO
and J. DAVID GOODMAN
The first sign that the City
Council hearing would be differ-
ent was the sign-up sheet for
speakers, which would grow to
more than 200 entries. And the
fact that the crowd that had gath-
ered on Tuesday would be too
large for the Council chambers,
and require several overflow
rooms across the street.
Perhaps it was the protesters,
escorted out of the hearing as
New York City officials began
their testimony, chanting, “De
Blasio’s plan ain’t affordable for
me.”
Or maybe it was the nature of
the hearing itself, which stretched
well into the evening, as speaker
after speaker expressed concerns
over, or support for, Mayor Bill de
Blasio’s plan to require private
developers to build affordable
housing to meet the needs of the
city’s lowest-income residents.
Who exactly will be eligible for
any affordable housing created
has become a major point of con-
tention in the mayor’s sweeping
effort to generate tens of thou-
sands of new homes for poor and
working-class New Yorkers strug-
gling to remain in a fast-gentrify-
ing city. One key element of this ef-
fort is known as mandatory inclu-
sionary housing, which is ex-
pected to come to a vote before the
full Council in March along with
other proposed zoning changes.
The program is expected to
produce only a fraction of the
80,000 new affordable units envi-
sioned by the mayor over 10 years.
But its approval means that for
the first time the city would re-
quire builders to include below-
market-rent units in new build-
ings if they want to build at all in
areas rezoned for residential
growth.
While certainly meeting a need

Princeton Professor’s Arrest Reignites Debate About Racial Profiling
By CHRISTINE HAUSER
A black Princeton professor is
protesting her arrest during a
traffic stop last week, saying she
was mistreated because of her
race by two white police officers
who searched her and handcuffed
her to a table.
The police chief in Princeton,
N.J., however, said the officers
had followed department policy in
arresting the professor, Imani
Perry.
The arrest of Dr. Perry, a profes-
sor of African-American studies,
and the divergent views of how it
was handled have reignited a de-
bate on social media over police
tactics and racial profiling.
The arrest came after officers
stopped Dr. Perry around 9:30
a.m. on Saturday for driving 67
miles per hour in a 45 m.p.h. zone,
Capt. Nicholas K. Sutter, the de-
partment chief, said in a telephone
interview on Tuesday.
While Dr. Perry said in a mes-
sage posted online that she was
arrested over “a single parking
ticket,” Captain Sutter said that
the officers who stopped her — a
man and a woman — learned dur-
ing a routine check that her driv-
ing privileges had been sus-
pended and a warrant had been is-
sued for her arrest over two un-
paid parking violations from 2013.
“The warrant commands the of-
ficer to take the person into cus-
tody,” Captain Sutter said.
The officers searched, hand-
cuffed and placed Dr. Perry into a

the poorest households most in
need of housing.
City officials say they will use
city subsidies to make sure that is
not the case under both the man-
datory program and with other af-
fordable construction.
At least the outline of a possible
compromise seemed to emerge
when members of the Council
Committee on Land Use’s sub-
committee urged administration
officials to modify their proposal,
so that it guarantees that a num-
ber of any new units built will be
affordable to residents with very
low incomes.
“We’re going to have to find a
way to come up with other op-
tions,” Donovan Richards, chair-
man of the subcommittee, told ad-
ministration officials.
Alicia Glen, the deputy mayor
for housing and economic devel-
opment, said that the city was
“open to those discussions.”
thinner would be to court the
wrong kind of excitement.
“When you hear the ice just
snap,” said Joe Angelo, vice presi-
dent of the Electric City Riders,
which organizes the motorcycle
races, “it’s like, ‘Oh, God, I don’t

want to swim.’ ” (He was quick to
vouch for the event’s safety, how-
ever, assuring a reporter that “we
don’t have that many crashes.”)
In Lake Placid, a warm Decem-
ber meant that the normally busy
holiday season fell flat, despite
special offers and local business
groups’ best efforts to inject the
snowless town with festive cheer.
Cancellations abounded.
“It’s nice that it’s not 40 below
zero all the time,” said Charlie
Levitz, the owner of Chair 6, a lo-
cal restaurant named for White-
face Mountain’s highest ski lift.

treated her because of her race.
squad car, the captain said. At the
police station, she was handcuffed
to a workstation and booked. After
paying outstanding fines totaling
$130, he said, she was released.
Dr. Perry, who declined to com-
ment via email on Tuesday, wrote
about the episode on Twitter and
Facebook on Monday, saying it
had left her humiliated and fright-
ened.
She said the male officer had
performed a “body search” de-
spite the presence of a female offi-
cer, and that she had not been al-
lowed to make a phone call before
being placed in the squad car. She
was handcuffed to a table at the
police station, she said.
Points of contention
appear in an effort to
generate thousands of
affordable homes.
As currently constituted, the
city’s proposal would give
developers several options to
produce permanently affordable
housing. One would allow them to
set aside at least 25 percent of a
new building’s units for house-
holds with earnings averaging 60
percent of area median income, or
about $47,000 a year for a family of
three.
Another option would reserve
30 percent of the units for house-
holds averaging 80 percent of area
median income, or about $62,000
a year for a family of three. A third
At Lake George on Thursday, it felt like spring. The lake did not have a trace of ice on it, forcing
the Winter Carnival’s traditional port-a-potty race across the ice to be relocated to dry land.
Like many businesses in the area,
it relies on winter tourists to help
it break even and keep its staff
employed in the slow months. “In
lots of ways it’s good, but the
greater good would be to freeze
your butt off,” Mr. Levitz said.
Catamount Ski Area in the
Berkshire Mountains, Hunter
Dr. Perry said that her accounts
of the arrest had drawn abusive
comments and suggestions that
she had brought it on herself. At
the same time, she said, she had
also attracted supporters who
questioned whether a white sus-
pect would have been treated the
same way.
She wrote: “There are a num-
ber of commentators online who
have repeated to me an all-too-
common formulation: ‘Well, if you
hadn’t done anything wrong, this
wouldn’t have happened.’ But this
demand for behavioral perfection
from Black people in response to
disproportionate policing and
punishment is a terrible red her-
ring.”
Police departments across the
country have drawn scrutiny over
what critics have called the harsh
treatment of minority suspects.
Episodes including the fatal
shooting of Michael Brown by a
white officer in Ferguson, Mo.,
and the chokehold death of Eric
Garner on Staten Island have led
to protests, lawsuits and inquiries
by the Justice Department.
Another case that captured the
national spotlight was the 2015 ar-
rest of Sandra Bland, a black
woman from Illinois who was
pulled over in Texas in a routine
traffic stop that escalated into a
confrontation. Ms. Bland spent

she was found hanging in a cell.

option would allow builders in
some cases to rent to households
making 120 percent of the median
income (about $93,000 a year),
but unlike with the first two op-
tions, those buildings would not be
eligible for city subsidies.
Critics fault the administration
for tweaking little in its plan, even
though many of its provisions
were rejected widely by commu-
nity boards and borough presi-
dents. But city officials said they
designed their zoning proposals
so that they are financially viable
for developers and can withstand
any potential legal challenges
from the real estate industry.
“If our program makes develop-
ment too expensive, nothing will
get built,” said Vicki Been, com-
missioner of the Department of

opment. “Our families and neigh-
borhoods need affordable housing

jacket pockets and the areas
around her shoes.
Asked whether the female offi-
cer should have searched Dr.
Perry, Captain Sutter said depart-
ment policy did not require that fe-
male officers search female sus-
pects. He said it would not be prac-
tical because the department had
only eight female officers. “When
we can, we should,” he added. “We
will look at the policy.”
Dr. Perry, who joined Princeton
in 2009, is also an author who re-
viewed a book about race for The
New York Times.
During the arrest, Captain Sut-

One concern for the city is
whether the recent expiration of
the state tax abatement program
known as 421-a would slow down
development. Administration offi-
cials say they expect a similar pro-
gram to soon take its place, but in
the meantime there are other tax
exemption programs they can use
to spur construction.
Kathryn S. Wylde, the president
of the Partnership for New York
City, a nonprofit association of pri-
vate businesses that supports the
mayor’s proposal, said that Coun-
cil members who want to provide
housing for the poorest New York-
ers should do it by way of pro-
grams in the budget, not the city’s
zoning code.
“All these Council members are
thinking about the immediate im-
pact on their neighborhoods and
their constituency,” she said. “But
when it comes to zoning, you can’t
afford to think that way.”
But Thomas J. Waters, a hous-
ing policy analyst with the anti-
poverty group Community Serv-
ice Society, noted that “once a
neighborhood is rezoned it’s re-
zoned forever.”
“Before we rezone a neighbor-
hood to allow more density, which
will stimulate higher-rent devel-
opment, we need to make sure
developers don’t just do the
minimum on affordability, and
leave most of the neighborhood’s
incumbent population out in the
cold.”
A second hearing is scheduled
for Wednesday on another set of
proposed zoning changes that
also face strong local opposition
because they would allow taller
buildings and eliminate some
parking requirements in neigh-
borhoods, among other concerns.
David Greenfield, chairman of
the land use committee, said that
that proposal may be even more
contentious because concerns dif-
fer among boroughs.
He said mandatory inclusion-
ary housing enjoys “robust sup-
port” in the Council, but support
for other zoning changes is “very
mixed.”

“Every single person brought

ing that exceptions were some-
times made if a suspect was in-
jured in a way that made hand-
cuffing unfeasible.
He said he did not know how
long Dr. Perry had been hand-
cuffed to the bar, but that the
process usually took 15 minutes.
Dr. Perry posted bail, and after
about an hour at the station she
was picked up by someone and
left.
“I don’t want to sound in any
way like I am being defensive or
arguing that Dr. Perry is not enti-
tled to feel the way she does,” Cap-
tain Sutter said. “We are part of
the larger law enforcement com-
munity in our current times in law
enforcement. Therefore I under-
stand how in this climate we can
be perceived to be a microcosm of
that.”
Dr. Perry said on Facebook that
she was keeping the arrest in per-
spective, and was not comparing
it to others that had more dire con-
sequences. But, she added, “I
hope that this circle of attention
will be part of a deeper reckoning
with how and why police officers
behave the way they do, espe-
cially towards those of us whose
flesh is dark.”

To Mob Clan
As Trial Starts
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr.
By most accounts, the Bonanno
crime family has been battered
and crippled by prosecutions and
high-profile defections in the last
15 years, even if its glory days long
ago became grist for Hollywood
screenwriters.
But a prosecutor said in Man-
hattan State Supreme Court on
Monday that Nicholas Santora, an
aging figure in a wheelchair who
has reputedly been a leader in the
organization since the 1970s, was
still a powerful Mafia captain in
2010. Mr. Santora oversaw a loan-
sharking business and an Internet
gambling site, the prosecutor
said, and sold prescription drugs
like oxycodone and Viagra on the
black market.
“This is not Hollywood,” the
prosecutor, David Stuart, said in
opening arguments at the trial of
Mr. Santora and three other men.
“These crimes and these
defendants are real. Far from be-
ing dormant, the Bonanno crime
family was alive and well, and the
old guard was training the new
members to take over their reins.”
Mr. Santora, 73, whose nick-
names include Nicky Mouth and
Cigars, is charged with enterprise
corruption, along with three
younger men whom Mr. Stuart de-
scribed as soldiers in the Bonanno
organization: Ernest Aiello, 36;
Vito Badamo, 53; and Anthony
Santoro, 52. Five other men have
pleaded guilty in the case.
Mr. Stuart said the evidence
would include recordings of tele-
phone calls and recordings made
inside Mr. Santora’s car over 10
months, as well as the testimony
of least two former members of
the Bonanno family.
He said the evidence would
prove Mr. Santora ran a tight, hier-
archical organization, collecting a
portion of all the proceeds from
criminal activities in which his un-
derlings were involved and set-
tling disputes. The other
defendants took pains to protect
their boss, Mr. Stuart said. “One of
the most important rules of the en-
terprise was to protect the mem-
bers at the top from criminal liabil-
ity,” he said.
But defense lawyers said their
clients were the victims of over-
zealous detectives in the Police

leader and 3 others.
Department’s organized crime
unit, who the lawyers said were
desperate to break a big case. The
police tied together the cases of
several small crimes being com-
mitted by individuals and tried to
link them to Mr. Santora, includ-
ing an Internet gambling site in
the Bronx and a loan-sharking
business run by two officials at
Teamsters Local 917, which repre-
sents beer truck drivers, the de-
fense said.
“The cops got it in their heads
the Bonanno organized crime
family was involved,” Adam
Konta, the lawyer for Mr. Santoro,
said. “They were like children
who couldn’t accept a puzzle piece
not fitting, so they smashed it until
it was close enough.”
Mr. Santora’s lawyer, Michael
Alber, said the evidence the police
had amassed through months of
wiretaps and recorded conversa-
tions amounted to “snippets, dis-
torted and out of context,” which
failed to prove Mr. Santora knew
about the loan-sharking and gam-
bling operations. “It will be crystal
clear at the end of the trial that
you will have every reason to
doubt Mr. Santora’s involvement
in this case,” Mr. Alber said.
This is not the first time that Mr.
Santora has stood trial on charges
related to organized crime. His
criminal career goes back to the
1960s, prosecutors say. In the
early 1980s, he was one of six
members of the Bonanno family
arrested after Joseph Pistone, an
undercover agent for the Federal
Bureau of Investigationwho went
by the alias Donnie Brasco, infil-
trated the family. Mr. Santora was
played by Bruno Kirby in the 1997
movie “Donnie Brasco” about the
case.

Lawyer, Doubting Claims

By Con Man, Quits Case
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr.
A con artist who claims he is the
son of a famed leader of the Irish
Republican Army lost his lawyer
on Tuesday. The lawyer, a long-
time I.R.A. supporter who said he
took the case out of sympathy,
said he could not take the chance
he was being tricked.
“I go to Ireland all the time,” the
lawyer, Edward Hayes, said as he
left court, having asked a judge in
State Supreme Court in Manhat-
tan to be relieved. “That’s where
my ancestors are. I don’t want to
be embarrassed.”
The con artist, Jeremy Wilson,
42, who is awaiting trial on forgery
charges, has invented a dozen
aliases over a 25-year career as a
professional impostor and iden-
tity thief, prosecutors say.
In a recent interview, he
claimed he was the biological son
of Brian Keenan, the I.R.A. mem-
ber who directed a bombing cam-
paign in Britain in the 1970s and
later played a role in the peace
process. Mr. Wilson also hinted
that he himself was active in the
CHANG W. LEE/THE NEW YORK TIMES
In 2012, Mr. Ure said, he re-
ceived DNA samples via courier
that, according to accompanying
documents, had been taken six
years earlier from Mr. Keenan, Mr.
Wilson and his mother. Mr. Ure
had the samples tested at a repu-
table California laboratory, and
the results proved conclusively
that Mr. Keenan was Mr. Wilson’s
father, the lawyer said. Mr. Wilson,
or someone on his behalf, also paid
Mr. Ure $25,000, depositing the
money into his bank account.
Mr. Ure provided Mr. Hayes
with copies of the same docu-
ments, which were obtained by
The New York Times. The genetic
expert who did the DNA test con-
firmed it had been done and the
results were accurate.
There is doubt, however, about
the origin of the samples. The doc-
uments claimed that a British
company, DNA Worldwide Group
Ltd., had collected the samples in
2006 and then handed them over
to officials at the Royal Bank of
Scotland for safekeeping.

Mr. Hayes, a former Bronx
prosecutor who is among the most
prominent Irish-American
lawyers in the city, agreed to rep-
resent Mr. Wilson when the ac-
cused man reached out to him af-
ter his arrest on Jan. 4.
He provided Mr. Hayes with the
results of a DNA test and other
documents that he said proved his
relationship with Mr. Keenan.
In a recent interview, Mr. Wil-
son said his mother, Patricia
Clark, traveled to Northern Ire-
land in 1972 and had a brief affair
with Mr. Keenan, who was on the
run from the British government
at the time. He said he learned the
truth from his mother as a teen-
ager and developed an epistolary
relationship with Mr. Keenan, who
was imprisoned. Mr. Keenan died
in 2008.
Mr. Wilson first made the claim
in a lawsuit in 2011, while serving a
six-year federal sentence for iden-
tity theft and forging a judge’s sig-
nature. The lawsuit asked a fed-
eral judge to declare he was not an
American citizen and deport him
to Britain.
Stephen Ure, an immigration
lawyer in San Diego, said Mr. Wil-
son had hired him in 2012 to help
with his effort to be sent to Britain.
City Police Are Reorganizing
had spent the entire day with her.
Mr. Hayes said he was still not
sure Mr. Wilson was not telling the
truth. He said he had initially been
willing to represent him because
the DNA test suggested there was
a strong chance he might be Mr.
Keenan’s son. He also could not
imagine how Mr. Wilson had faked
the documents while in prison.
In the end, however, the doubts
were too great, Mr. Hayes said. “I
didn’t want to take a chance,” he
said.
After Mr. Hayes asked to be re-
lieved, Justice Laura A. Ward
asked Mr. Wilson if he had the
money to pay for a new lawyer.
“Not at the moment,” he said.
Later in the day, Mr. Wilson,
looking dour in a tan prison suit,
was brought back into court. Jus-
tice Ward appointed Robert
Briere, a public defender, to repre-
sent him.
As he took over the case, Mr.
Briere said Mr. Wilson wanted his
name changed to Mr. Keenan on
the indictment. He said a court in
California had changed Mr.
Wilson’s surname to Keenan in
2013 while he was in federal pris-
on.

To Increase Focus on Gangs

By ASHLEY SOUTHALL
The New York Police Depart-
ment announced on Tuesday that
it was reorganizing its investiga-
tive operations, a move that sen-
ior officials said would allow for an
increased focus on gang activity.
Under the new structure,
nearly all of the department’s in-
vestigative units will be brought
under the supervision of the De-
tective Bureau, James P. O’Neill,
chief of department, said. An in-
vestigative chief will be assigned
to each of the department’s eight
patrol borough commands and
will report directly to the chief of
detectives, Robert K. Boyce, Chief
O’Neill said.
The changes, which are to take
effect next month, are the latest in
a series of moves by the depart-
ment as it tries to adapt its crime-
fighting methods to new technol-
ogy and trends.
Under the plan announced on
Tuesday, the Organized Crime

Margaret Forster, Author of ‘Georgy Girl’ and More, Dies at 77
By WILLIAM GRIMES
Margaret Forster, who
achieved early fame in the 1960s
with her Swinging London novel
“Georgy Girl” and later turned
her attention, in dozens of works
of fiction, memoirs and biography,
to the complexities of women’s
lives and their social circum-
stances, died on Monday in Lon-
don. She was 77.
The cause was cancer, her hus-
band, the journalist and Beatles
biographer Hunter Davies told
The Associated Press.
Ms. Forster caught the flavor of
the decade in “Georgy Girl,” the
story of a young woman trying to
get a foothold in teeming London.
Her heroine, a precursor of Bridg-
et Jones, is big, plain and saddled
with an annoyingly pretty room-
mate.
Her adventures, recounted with
comic gusto and a dose of pathos,
delighted readers and made the
novel, published in 1965, a best
seller. The next year, it became a
hit movie, with Lynn Redgrave in
the title role.
Ms. Forster, with Peter Nichols,
wrote the screenplay. Adding lus-
ter to the whole package, the
movie’s theme song, recorded by
the folk-rock group the Seekers,
climbed to the upper reaches of
the pop charts.
Ms. Forster turned out several
more entertaining social com-
edies over the next decade before
plunging into biography and
adopting a more consciously femi-
nist approach to fiction, incorpo-
rating serious social problems
into her narratives. She produced
searching biographies of Eliza-
beth Barrett Browning and Daph-
ne du Maurier, in which she
plumbed the depths of character
with a novelist’s hand.
“Daphne du Maurier: The Se-
cret Life of the Renowned Story-
teller” (1993) was a revelation for
many readers, drawing on unpub-
lished diaries and letters to reveal

On Crime and Courts Beat
By DANIEL E. SLOTNIK
Arnold H. Lubasch, who cov-

New York Times for more than 30
years and later wrote a biography
of the actor and civil rights activ-
ist Paul Robeson, died on Friday in
Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 83.
The cause was a ruptured
spleen, his nephew David Mark-
son said. At the hospital where he
had been taken for abdominal
pain, Mr. Lubasch learned he also
had leukemia, Mr. Markson said.

He also helped cover the $50

shadows in her work: the guilt,
the terror, the unease.”
Margaret Forster was born on
May 25, 1938, in Carlisle, near the
Scottish border, into a working-
class family. Her father, Arthur,
worked in a metal factory, and her
mother, the former Lilian Hind,
gave up her job as a secretary to
raise her children. In a small
Mr. Lubasch covered crime in
New York as a police and general
assignment reporter, in one in-
stance writing about the Young
Lords, a Puerto Rican militant
group that had seized an East
Harlem church in 1969.
That same year, he drew on his
own life when he interviewed fel-
low alumni of Weequahic High
School in Newark about their re-
actions to Philip Roth’s “Portnoy’s
Complaint,” the ballyhooed,
sexually explicit comic novel
about Jewish middle-class life in
which the school — Mr. Roth was
also an alumnus — figures promi-
nently.
Mr. Lubasch interviewed,
among others, Mr. Roth’s parents
as well as two psychiatrists — the
novel takes the form of a mono-
logue addressed to a psychiatrist
— but did not break from his third-
person narrative to reveal his own
alumni status.
Mr. Lubasch retired from The
Times in 1994. His book “Robeson:
An American Ballad,” which drew
on his personal encounters with
Mr. Robeson, was published in
2012.
He was born in Brooklyn on
May 28, 1932, and his family soon
moved to Newark. In 1954 he grad-
uated from the College of William
and Mary in Virginia, where he
was sports editor and then the edi-
tor in chief of the college newspa-
per. While a student he was a copy
boy for The New York Herald-
Tribune and worked for The Rich-
mond Times-Dispatch and The

The family’s world was circum-
scribed. “The most daring journey
ever made was by my father when
he went as a young man to London
for the day,” Ms. Forster wrote in
“Hidden Lives: A Family Mem-
oir,” published in 1995. “He went to
King’s Cross station, walked
round it, thought nothing of it, and
came back, to boast forever he had
been to London.”
A brilliant student and vora-
cious reader, Margaret won a

Paul Aiken, 56, Leader of Authors Guild
By SAM ROBERTS
Paul Aiken, who as executive di-
rector of the Authors Guild began
parrying digital-era challenges to
copyrights and royalties nearly
two decades ago, died on Jan. 29 at
his home in Manhattan. He would
have been 57 two days later.
The cause was complications of
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or
Lou Gehrig’s disease, his wife,
Stefanie Rosenfeld, said.
In 1993, even before Amazon
went online or Google was incor-
porated, Mr. Aiken, as a dispirited
lawyer producing a baseball trivia
calendar on the side, joined the
Guild and started generating
news releases that presaged the
portents of electronic publishing.
First he criticized a publisher
for agreeing to pay authors only 5
percent of proceeds for digital
rights. Then he warned fa-
cetiously that a page-turning
copying machine would take “the
drudgery out of copyright in-
fringement.”
“What’s funny,” Mr. Aiken re-
called last year in the Authors
Guild Bulletin, “is that these two
news releases brought up topics
that we would revisit again and
again over the next 20 years: pub-
lishers being cheap and unfair in
paying for digital rights, and tech-
nology, particularly scanning
technology, threatening to under-
mine the entire book market.”
In 2005, the Guild joined in a
suit against Google for scanning
copyrighted books without per-
mission, but a proposed $125 mil-
lion settlement was overturned by
a federal judge, who ruled in Man-
Edgar Whitcomb, 98, P.O.W. and Governor
By The Associated Press
Edgar D. Whitcomb, a former
governor of Indiana who escaped
from a Japanese prisoner camp in
World War II and who made an
around-the-world solo sailing trip
while in his 70s, died on Thursday
at his home near Rome, Ind. He
was 98.
His daughter Patricia Whit-
comb confirmed his death.
Mr. Whitcomb, a Republican
and a former small-town lawyer,
served from 1969 to 1973, a time of
continuing disputes over spend-
ing and taxes. He took a strict
stance against any tax increases
and was quick to veto legislation,
even though the legislature was
controlled by his fellow Republi-
cans.
Among the scores of bills he ve-
toed was a plan, in 1971, backed by
the House speaker, Otis R. Bowen,
to cut property taxes by increas-
ing the state sales tax.
Mr. Whitcomb had won the Re-
publican nomination for governor
in 1968 over Mr. Bowen. Mr. Bow-
en went on to win election as gov-
ernor in 1972 and push a similar
property tax plan through the leg-
islature the next year.
Mr. Whitcomb helped ensure
decades of Republican dominance
in Indianapolis by signing into law
a government unification of the
city with its Republican-leaning
suburbs in Marion County.

After writing and tearing up a
novel inspired by Balzac, Ms.
Forster mined her Oxford experi-
ences for the breezy “Dames’ De-
light,” published in 1964. After the
success of “Georgy Girl,” she
wrote several light, entertaining
novels that she later found want-
ing.
“Not a single thing I wrote dur-
ing the whole decade meant a
damn thing,” she told World Au-
thors. “I just enjoyed myself, fid-
dling around, writing traditional
novels in a traditional style, all
about human relationships in a
one-dimensional sort of way.”
Her first biography, “The Rash
Adventurer: The Rise and Fall of
Charles Edward Stuart,” about the
Jacobite pretender known as Bon-
nie Prince Charlie, changed her
ideas about fiction, pushing her to-
ward more serious, historically
grounded work.

The author Scott Turow, one of
seven Guild presidents under
whom Mr. Aiken served, said Mr.
Aiken “believed passionately, like
the Framers, that copyright was
the key to maintaining the class of
independent authors who are es-
sential in a democracy, and he
fought with fervor and imagina-
tion to bolster writers’ livelihoods
and to defend them from the many
who scheme to reduce the value of
the written word.”
In every case, Mr. Aiken rebut-
ted the argument that copyright
impeded progress and defended
the principle that creative artists
should be rewarded for their
works.

turned to fiction at the end of the
1970s with “Mother Can You Hear

fraught relationships among

the tone for a long list of novels
that explored the dynamics of
family and personal relationships,
often shaped by insistent social
problems.

psychologist working with dis-

Ms. Forster’s interest in
women’s history led her to write
“Significant Sisters: The Grass-

riages, including her own.
She turned a lens on her family
history in “Hidden Lives,” to high
praise. In The Independent of
London, the journalist and biogra-
pher Claire Tomalin called it “a
wonderful book, perhaps the best
that Margaret Forster has yet giv-
en us,” adding, “she has found a
perfect subject in her own family
history, one that uses her histori-

and her vivid and sympathetic
imagination.”
“Precious Lives,” published in

Zdravko
Tolimir, 67,
General Tied
To Massacre
By MARLISE SIMONS
Zdravko Tolimir, a Bosnian Serb
former general who was serving a
life sentence for his role in the
massacre of more than 7,000 Mus-
lim prisoners in 1995, died on Mon-
day at a United Nations detention
center in The Hague. He was 67.
“He was taken ill at the court’s
detention center at around 9 p.m.,”
Nenad Golcevski, a spokesman
for the International Criminal Tri-
bunal for the former Yugoslavia,
told Reuters, adding, “He re-
ceived medical attention but he
passed away.”
Mr. Tolimir was arrested in 2007
on war crimes charges. As the
chief of military intelligence of the
Bosnian Serb Army, he had been
an important commander during
the war in Bosnia.
He was convicted in 2012 on two
counts of genocide for his role in
the capture of the Bosnian town of
Srebrenica in July 1995 and the
subsequent killing of Muslim
prisoners in what became known
as the biggest massacre in Europe
since World War II.
Judge Christoph Flügge of Ger-
many, who presided over Mr.
Tolimir’s trial, called the killings
“despicable criminal operations.”
Mr. Tolimir insisted that he had
been conducting operations
against “terrorist groups.” The
three-judge panel also convicted
him of crimes against humanity,
including murder, extermination
and persecutions.
The capture of Srebrenica came
at the end of the war, which began
in 1992 after Bosnians tried to
break away from Yugoslavia and
Serbs launched a violent cam-
paign to carve out lands for Serbs
only. More than a million people
were displaced, and an estimated

100,000 civilians and fighters were
killed, including Croats and Serbs,
but most of the victims were Mus-
lim civilians. The war ended with
a negotiated settlement in Decem-
ber 1995.
Mr. Tolimir had worked closely
with the Bosnian Serb Army com-
mander, Gen. Ratko Mladic,
whose war crimes trial still
continues in The Hague. Judge
Flügge found that Mr. Tolimir had
been the “right-hand man” of Mr.
Mladic. He “sometimes knew
more than Mladic himself,” the
judge said.
Gen. Rupert Smith of Britain,
who commanded the United Na-
tions peacekeeping forces in
Bosnia, and who had met Mr.
Tolimir several times, testified
that Mr. Tolimir and Mr. Mladic
had “functioned together, not in a
hierarchy.” That had been clear, he
said, from “their body language,
the tone in which they spoke to
each other.”
Mr. Tolimir was born on Nov. 27,
1948, in Glamoc, Bosnia and
Herzegovina. There was no imme-
diate word on survivors.
During his two-year trial, Mr.
Tolimir was unfailingly polite, and
he began to display strong reli-
gious beliefs early on.
“When he got the floor, he often
insisted on saying prayers for the
souls of everyone in court, includ-
ing judges, prosecutors, lawyers,

interpreters and secretaries,” said
Mirko Klarin, who followed the
proceedings as the director of the
Sense news agency.
Mr. Tolimir had been in ill health
since his arrival at the tribunal.
He told the court that he had had

several strokes before his arrest.
But last year, after having stents
implanted for his heart problems,
he told the court that he was fine
and that his best medicine con-
sisted of prayers and herbal teas
brought from Serbia.
At his death, Mr. Tolimir had
been waiting for almost a year,
since his conviction was upheld on
appeal, for a permanent place in a
prison outside the Netherlands.

Violette Verdy, Ballerina With Flair
And ‘Theatrical Alchemy,’ Dies at 82
By ANNA KISSELGOFF
Violette Verdy, a French-born
ballerina who became one of New
York City Ballet’s most acclaimed
stars by bringing her deep musi-
cality, effervescent presence and
theatrical flair to George Bal-
anchine’s plotless ballets, died on
Monday in Bloomington, Ind. She
was 82.
Her cousin Annick Horville-
Chateaureynaud said she died af-
ter a brief illness. Ms. Verdy lived
in Bloomington and taught at
Indiana University there. She had
earlier directed the Paris Opera
Ballet and the Boston Ballet.
When Balanchine invited Ms.
Verdy to join his 10-year-old com-
pany in 1958, even she was sur-
prised. Her personal style of in-
flected dancing — marked by ac-
cents, technical brio and hints of
occasional drama — seemed
antithetical to the straightforward
pure-movement style that Balan-
chine promoted in City Ballet as
choreographer and artistic direc-
tor.
As she often recalled, she felt
she would not fit in with the com-
pany’s long-legged, fleet-footed
female dancers, who were encour-
aged to “just dance,” as Balan-
chine reportedly wished. These
dancers were Borzois, she feared,
and she would be a French poodle.
Yet today Ms. Verdy remains
memorably identified with key
roles she created in Balanchine
ballets like “Tchaikovsky Pas de
Deux,” “Emeralds,” “Liebeslieder
Walzer” and “A Midsummer
Night’s Dream.” When Jerome
Robbins returned to the company
in 1969 after a long absence, he im-
mediately created similar signa-
ture roles for her in “Dances at a
Gathering” (with its mysterious
girl-in-green solo) and “In the
Night.”
When she joined City Ballet,
Ms. Verdy was 25, a child prodigy
turned ballerina with an interna-
tional reputation in Roland Petit’s
experimental ballets in France,

tury classics and a season of

Francisco Flores, 56, Salvadoran Leader
By SAM ROBERTS
Francisco Flores, a former
president of El Salvador who was
facing charges of diverting $15
million in contributions for earth-
quake victims to his personal and
political party accounts, died on
Jan. 30 in San Salvador. He was 56.
His death, of a cerebral hemor-
rhage, was announced by the Na-
tionalist Republican Alliance, or
Arena, the conservative party
that has controlled the presidency
for more than two decades.
Mr. Flores had been under
house arrest since November
2014. He was accused of illegal en-
richment by embezzling dona-
tions from the Taiwanese govern-
ment that were intended for
earthquake survivors in 2001. Tai-
wan was grateful to El Salvador
for supporting Taiwan’s applica-
tion for membership in the United
Nations.
In December, a Salvadoran
judge ordered Mr. Flores to stand
trial on charges of pocketing $5
million personally and disbursing
$10 million to his party’s coffers.
He insisted that the money had
been distributed properly to de-
serving victims. Despite Mr. Flo-
res’s death, the authorities are
likely to pursue civil litigation to
recover the funds.
When he was inaugurated for a
five-year term in 1999 at the age of
39, Mr. Flores, a philosopher and
an accomplished horse trainer,
David G. Hartwell, 74; Edited Sci-Fi Books
By DANIEL E. SLOTNIK
David G. Hartwell, an editor
who brought a literary sensibility
to genres like horror, fantasy and
science fiction, working with
Frank Herbert, Philip K. Dick and
other notable authors, has died.
He was 74.
He was declared brain-dead on
Jan. 20 at a hospital in Platts-
burgh, N.Y., after falling down the
stairs the day before at his home
in Westport, N.Y., said his wife, the
writer and editor Kathryn
Cramer.
Mr. Hartwell worked at several
publishing houses before starting
as a consulting editor at Tor/
Forge Books in the early 1980s. At
his death, he was a senior editor
there. He was nominated more
than 40 times for Hugo Awards,
among the most prominent prizes
in science fiction, and won three
times for editing.
Patrick Nielsen Hayden, a sen-
ior editor at Tor, said in an email
that Mr. Hartwell had edited and
published hundreds of books, in-
cluding Mr. Dick’s novels “The Di-
vine Invasion,” “The Transmigra-
tion of Timothy Archer” and “Ra-
dio Free Albemuth,” as well as
novels in Mr. Herbert’s “Dune”
saga and Gene Wolfe’s “The Book
of the New Sun” series.
He also compiled dozens of an-
thologies, many with Ms. Cramer,
including “The Space Opera Ren-
aissance” (2006) and “Spirits of

let Theater in 1957-58.
Rather than being a disadvan-
tage, this background may have
attracted Balanchine.
“Balanchine wanted her be-
cause she brought to his company
something it didn’t have,’’ Mr. Pe-
tit says in Dominique Delouche’s
documentary “Violette et Mr. B.”
“She was unique, but she had
what exceptional female French
dancers all had at that time: the-
atrical alchemy.”
She was also linked to Balan-
chine through the Russian train-
ing he shared with the teachers
she had in Paris: Carlotta Zam-
belli, a former star of the Paris
Opera Ballet, and Rousane
Sarkissian, a noted Russian
émigré teacher known as
Madame Rousane, who studied
with the Russians Ivan Clustine
and Vera Trefilova. Another of her
teachers, Victor Gsovsky, trained
in Leningrad.
Not only did Ms. Verdy fit into
City Ballet, her trademark quali-
ties also influenced Balanchine’s
choreography. He used her clarity
and the impressive articulation in
her legs and feet in “Tchaikovsky
Pas de Deux” to produce what she

musical phrasing in her dancing,
Clive Barnes wrote in The New

phrase music is an experience
akin to hearing a great pianist.”
Violette Verdy was born Nelly

in Pont-l’Abbé, a French seaside
town in Brittany. Her father, Re-
nan Guillerm, died a few months
after her birth; her mother,
Jeanne Chateaureynaud, was a
schoolteacher who thought ballet
lessons would suit her vivacious
daughter. Determined to seek out
excellent teachers, Mrs. Guillerm
and Nelly moved to Paris in 1942 at
the height of the wartime German
occupation.
Madame Rousane became
Nelly’s main teacher, and by the
mid-1940s her classes included

ents, Roland Petit, Jean Babilée

groups in 1992. He was elected to
the unicameral National Assem-

president in 1997.
In the legislature, he earned a
reputation as a peacemaker. But
that was belied during the presi-
dential campaign, when he re-
fused to engage his opponent, a
former guerrilla commander, in a
debate, as well as during his presi-
dency, when he was accused of
ruling imperiously.
After he was elected, Mr. Flores
paid homage to a founder of his
party, Roberto d’Aubuisson.
D’Aubuisson was a cashiered Na-
tional Guard officer suspected in
several murders, apparently by
the right wing, including the
killing of Archbishop Óscar Rome-
ro in 1980, during the country’s
civil war.
“Let’s remember the values of

United States is based in no small
part” on Mr. Hartwell’s work, Mr.
Martin wrote in an online tribute.
David Geddes Hartwell was
born on July 10, 1941, in Salem,
Mass. He graduated from Wilm-
ington High School in Wilmington,
Mass., then from Williams College
in 1963 before earning a master’s
degree in English literature from
Colgate University and a doctor-
ate in comparative medieval liter-
ature from Columbia University in
1973.
He began his career at Signet in
the early 1970s. In 1978, he joined
Pocket Books, where he founded
Timescape, which published sev-
eral major science-fiction authors
and released a series of “Star
Trek” novels.
Mr. Hartwell married Patricia
Wolcott in the late 1960s, and they
divorced in 1992. He married Ms.
Cramer in 1997. In addition to her,
he is survived by two sisters, Re-

The Clinton Team Under Pressure
Hillary Clinton memorably ended one of the
Democratic debates by invoking the “Star Wars” tagline,
“May the force be with you.” Even before voting began
Tuesday in New Hampshire, a primary she was long ex-
pected to lose to Bernie Sanders, Mrs. Clinton was flirting
with the dark side.
Eight years after she went over the line in attacking
Barack Obama, Mrs. Clinton’s team, notably her husband
and some prominent supporters, were making tone-deaf
attacks on Mr. Sanders, who has proved a tougher oppo-
nent than they had expected.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Clinton sent an email to her back-
ers, thanking them, asking them for $1 and complaining
that Mr. Sanders “went to the extraordinary measure of
outspending us on the airwaves three to one here in New
Hampshire.” Mrs. Clinton knew she was going to lose the
first primary, but she had no reason to panic since she re-
mains well ahead in the next few contests. Besides, there’s
plenty she could say about herself instead of allowing her
campaign to attack Mr. Sanders and, especially, the mo-
tives of his supporters.
For the Republicans trying to catch up to Donald
Trump, the challenge was different — how to spin a sec-
ond- or third- or fourth-place finish without sounding too
silly. A number of Republican candidates are sure to drop
out in the hours or days between Tuesday’s vote and the
South Carolina G.O.P. presidential primary on Feb. 20. Mr.
Trump needed the decisive win he got in New Hampshire
if he is to prove his campaign is more than a reality show.
But Marco Rubio’s task was to maintain the energy his
campaign got out of a strong third-place showing in Iowa.
And Ted Cruz, despite his extensive ground game, won
Iowa by only three points and needed to stay in the top tier
in New Hampshire to show his support extends beyond
the conservative fringe.
The sitting governors, Chris Christie of New Jersey
and John Kasich of Ohio, and former Gov. Jeb Bush of
Florida were battling for independents and relevance. Af-
ter Mr. Kasich won the earliest balloting in tiny Dixville

Republican Budget Tantrum
By law, dating back to 1921, the president of the United
States must submit an annual budget request to Congress.
On Tuesday, President Obama submitted his eighth and fi-
nal budget. And like all presidential budgets, it is a state-
ment of values and priorities, a blueprint for turning ideas
into policies, a map of where the president wants to lead
the country.
This week, even before the president’s budget was re-
leased, the Republican chairmen of the budget committees
announced they would not even hold hearings with the
White House budget director to discuss the proposal.
Their decision is more than a break with tradition. It
is a new low in Republican efforts to show disdain for Mr.
Obama, which disrespects the presidency and, in the
process, suffocates debate and impairs governing.
Mr. Obama’s budget proposes to spend $4 trillion in
the 2017 fiscal year (slightly more than for 2016). That total
would cover recurring expenses, including Medicare and
Social Security, as well as new initiatives to fight terror-
ism, poverty and climate change, while fostering health,
education and environmental protection. If Republicans
find those efforts objectionable — as their refusal to even
discuss them indicates — they owe it to their constituents
and other Americans to say why.
Would they prefer to renege on Social Security bene-
fits? Do they think $11 billion to fight ISIS, as the budget
proposes, is too much? Is $4.3 billion to deter Russian ag-
gression against NATO allies a bad idea? Does $19 billion
for cybersecurity to protect government records, critical
infrastructure and user privacy seem frivolous? And is
$1.2 billion to help states pay for safe drinking water or
$292 million to send more preschoolers to Head Start re-
ally unaffordable?
Republicans have objected that the president’s budg-
et does not do enough to tackle the nation’s borrowing. But
according to the White House’s estimate, the proposal
would reduce deficits by $2.9 trillion over the next 10
years. That would be sufficient to hold deficits below 3 per-
cent of the economy, a level that is widely considered man-
ageable and even desirable, because a wealthy and grow-
ing nation can afford to borrow for projects that would be
financially burdensome if paid for all at once.
If Republicans have a plan to pay for the necessary
work of government while eliminating deficits entirely,
they should present it.
The problem is that Republicans do not have viable al-
ternatives. The budget proposes a $10-a-barrel tax on
10,000 Child Refugees Are Missing
According to the European police agency Europol,
more than 10,000 children who entered Europe during the
last two years have disappeared, vanishing through the
gaping cracks in Europe’s chaotic system for dealing with
refugees and migrants.
The fear is that many of the missing children have
been trafficked into the sex trade by the same organized
criminal groups that are profiting handsomely by ferrying
refugees into and across Europe.
In addition, many children are believed to have fled
detention centers, where they do not feel safe and are too
often kept in the dark about their rights. Some are teenage
boys, many from Syria and Afghanistan, who have been
sent ahead by families hoping to join them later. Once on
the streets, they are easy prey for drug dealers, pimps or
petty theft rings. Younger children and adolescent girls
are also at great risk of sexual and other abuse.
Some children may have become separated from their
families along the routes refugees take through Europe af-
ter landing in Greece or Italy. Others arrive in Europe as
unaccompanied minors — 26,000 last year — according to
the humanitarian group Save the Children.
And more are arriving every day. The United Nations
says that more than a third of refugees crossing the Medi-
terranean by boat to reach Europe are now children. Last

sich broke out in front of the pack Tuesday night, giving
his campaign a jolt as it moves on to other states.
At lunchtime on Tuesday, Mr. Christie trawled for late
deciders at T-Bones Great American Eatery, bragging that
he had his bag packed for South Carolina, but not mention-
ing whether his plane ticket was refundable. Mr. Bush,
cornered on his way to a polling place, confessed that he
was “tired,” a comment that probably said more than he
intended.
In the days before the New Hampshire vote, events
resurrected bad memories of unsavory drama from Mrs.
Clinton’s 2008 run. The Clinton campaign once hoped to
hold Mr. Sanders to a single-digit win, but that looked im-
possible well before Tuesday morning, and rumors of a
coming staff shake-up (candidates always blame the staff
first for losses) struck a demoralizing blow to her team
working long hours in New Hampshire.
At Mrs. Clinton’s get-out-the-vote rally on Monday
night, Bill Clinton seemed to be second-guessing the cam-
paign’s ground game. He joked, using a rather bizarre turn
of phrase, that sometimes he wished he and Mrs. Clinton
weren’t married, ostensibly so he could vent his spleen
about her challenger even more than he has. On Tuesday,
David Brock, the Clinton Svengali, said on CNN that be-
cause the senator from Vermont was from a neighboring
state, he held some kind of automatic (read: don’t blame
us) 15-point advantage, and made the dark prediction that
“he’s going to be brought down to earth.”
Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign worked to tar Mr.
Sanders with news that he’d attended vacation retreats
sponsored by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Com-
mittee — which, like most such committees, accepts cor-
porate contributions — and “was even once spotted chat-
ting sociably for close to an hour with a financial services
lobbyist who was in a hot tub while the senator sat
nearby.” Pressing that story seemed pointless, and proba-
bly damaging to Mrs. Clinton.
New Hampshire is in fact a drop in the bucket of dele-
gates needed to win the nominations. For the candidates
who go on, the trick is not letting these results go to their
heads, or get under their skins.

crude oil to help pay for $320 billion in new spending over
10 years on clean-energy transportation projects. Congres-
sional Republicans, unable to break free of their no-new-
taxes-ever stance, have derided the oil tax. But what is
their plan to pay for projects to modernize transportation
and promote green technology in the absence of a new
tax?
The budget would also raise $272 billion over the next
decade by closing tax loopholes that let high-income own-
ers of limited-liability companies and other so-called pass-
through businesses avoid investment taxes that apply to
all other investors. Most of the money would be used to
strengthen Medicare’s finances. What is the Republican
plan to strengthen Medicare?
The president’s budget request is a detailed and wor-
thy entry in the contest of ideas. Its aim is to move the na-
tion forward. If Republicans had compelling ideas and a
similar commitment to progress, they would engage with
the proposals in the budget. But they don’t. So they won’t.
year, more than 70 percent of refugees who arrived in Eu-
rope were men.
“The implications of this surge in the proportion of
children and women on the move are enormous — it
means more are at risk at sea, especially now in the win-
ter, and more need protection on land,” warned Marie-
Pierre Poirier, Unicef’s special coordinator for the refugee
and migrant crisis in Europe.
Britain’s Department of International Development is
setting up a 10 million pound ($14 million) fund to support
refugee and migrant children on the Continent. That is
helpful, but Britain, which has so far balked at taking any
refugees already in Europe, should also take in a fair share
of unaccompanied children — as should all other Euro-
pean countries.
The European Union also needs to increase funding to
improve services for these children. The trafficking net-
works must be broken, and any perpetrators of crimes
against children must be apprehended and punished.
All European countries have signed the United Na-
tions Convention on the Rights of the Child and have a
duty to provide for the safety and well-being of children on
European soil. That Europe has failed to protect these
most vulnerable among the desperate people arriving on
the Continent is unconscionable.
The O. J. Simpson Case, Revisited
TO THE EDITOR:
Re “Bloody Gloves and Police Brutal-
ity” (Op-Ed, Feb. 4):
John McWhorter writes about racism
and police brutality, but neither of these
was a factor in the actual crime: the 1994
murder of O. J. Simpson’s ex-wife, Ni-
cole. They might explain how a jury
could ignore mountains of obvious evi-
dence and render the wrong verdict,
finding Mr. Simpson not guilty. That is
the real story, and sort of a crime as well.
The courtroom has to be a place where
facts are looked at without racism or re-
verse racism. I watched that trial, avidly,
from gavel to gavel. An abusive man
stabbed his ex-wife and a friend of hers,
and no one seemed to care.
JANE WARDEN
Malibu, Calif.
TO THE EDITOR:
I congratulate the writer for investi-
gating the outlook of other blacks who
cheered the O. J. Simpson verdict.
In thousands of trials, whites of every
ilk and preponderance of guilt have
walked away and still walk away, freed
by an institutional conspiracy of pros-
ecutors, grand juries, judges and juries.
Blacks never expect to get and usually
don’t get justice.
In the O. J. case, at last, and for once,
American (in?)justice swung the other
way. White America got to feel for once
what black Americans never stop feel-
ing. DAVID HELPER
Bronx
TO THE EDITOR:
I, too, recall being the odd black person
out who was disgusted with the not
guilty verdict. It was clear to me that the
jury, and the entire case in court, set up
the verdict in response to the sordid his-
tory of this country, which has negatively
affected so many generations of black
people. O. J. Simpson was guilty, and ev-
eryone on Mr. Simpson’s defense team
and the jury was guilty of covering up the
truth as payback to society.
SIMONE CROMER
Ann Arbor, Mich.
TO THE EDITOR:
I remember the day the verdict came
down. I was standing in one of the check-
out lines in a Century 21 store in Lower
Manhattan. Somehow the news spread
through the crowd. The cashiers, mostly
black women, were cheering and crying.
The white folks like me on line were
stunned. Leaving the store, I felt the
Protecting Whistle-Blowers Against Retaliation
TO THE EDITOR:
Your succinct condemnation of state
“ag-gag” laws (“No More Exposés in
North Carolina,” editorial, Feb. 1) high-
lighted a problem that all consumers,
investors and taxpayers should be con-
cerned about — not just people worried
about the inhumane treatment of an-
imals at factory farms.
In the 12 years that I’ve been repre-
senting whistle-blowers, I’ve seen health
care companies and other businesses
use the courts to use increasingly ag-
gressive tactics to retaliate against whis-
tle-blowers who report fraud and harm-
ful, illegal practices by their employers.
The recent development of state laws
that allow companies to sue whistle-
blowers — whether for videotaping
animal cruelty or documenting other
wrongdoing — is simply a way to intimi-
date individuals from blowing the whis-
tle.
State legislatures should be consider-
ing ways they can encourage and reward
whistle-blowers to help law enforce-
ment, which will benefit all of their citi-
zens, rather than enacting statutes that
allow businesses to hide their criminal
practices behind closed doors.

College Admissions Reform: A Needed Conversation
TO THE EDITOR:
In “Real Compassion in College Admis-
sions” (Sunday Review, Feb. 7), Steve Co-
hen claims that recommendations to im-
prove college admissions, proposed by
Prof. Richard Weissbourd and his team at
the Harvard Graduate School of Educa-
tion, would “only make things worse.”
As a developmental psychologist, a
mother and now a college president, I do
not believe that things can get much
worse. The current system provides the
wrong incentives.
Many high school students drop activi-
ties like music lessons and community
service in favor of Advanced Placement
courses and test preparation. Many are
led by the adults in their lives to spend too
much time preparing for college, robbing
them of the time to explore what feeds
their souls. And most are sleep-deprived.
Everyone knows that the system is bro-
ken and unfair, especially to students

John McWhorter writes: “But I was
missing something. The case was about
much more than bloody gloves and
bloody footprints. It was about the cen-
trality of police brutality to black Ameri-

In one respect, yes, this case came to
stand for so many issues other than the
actual crime and its prosecution. But, on
the other hand, it was exactly about
bloody gloves and footprints.
Are we so unsophisticated as a people
that we can’t acknowledge the deeper fis-
sures that are revealed in a case such as
this while at the same time expecting the
honest pursuit of justice in a double mur-
der? Can’t O. J. be guilty and the criminal
justice system be rightly taken to task for
systemic racial bias?

TO THE EDITOR:
I won’t argue with John McWhorter’s
judgment that police harassment of or
brutality toward blacks produces disaf-
fection and fury. Neither should he doubt
me when I say that the horrendous level
of inner-city crime takes its toll on police
officers.
I’m an insurance broker and have cops
as clients. I see the stress their job causes
in them. In the inner city, as one of my
clients points out, there is a high rate of
confrontation precisely because of the
high crime rate. It dramatically raises
the probability of infuriating or tragic
outcomes.
Readers who want both sides of the
story should watch on YouTube Connie

“Institutional Change for Social
Change.” Ms. Rice is a black attorney
who made a career of suing the Los An-
geles Police Department. After years of
doing so and seeing no result, she started
representing officers. By listening to the
cops — she stresses the importance of
listening — and by working with William
J. Bratton, then the chief, she helped
transform the culture of the L.A.P.D.
Mr. McWhorter’s article is valuable,
but it tells only one side of the story.

TO THE EDITOR:
Factory farms and slaughterhouses
are already shrouded in so much secrecy
that one of the only ways consumers can
catch a glimpse of where their food ac-
tually comes from is through whistle-
blower exposés. And these shocking un-
dercover investigations have led to meat
recalls, slaughterhouse shutdowns, the
discovery of food safety violations, crimi-
nal animal cruelty charges and more.
Big Ag’s response? Instead of cleaning
up its act, state by state, agribusiness
lobbyists are feverishly pushing ag-gag
laws that blow the whistle on the whistle-
blower.
By going to such desperate lengths to
prevent Americans from seeing what
hidden cameras capture behind its
closed doors, the meat industry has
proved that it in fact has something to
hide: the truth.
What can consumers do? The best
way to protect our health and animals is
to leave meat off our plates.

The Many
Mideast
Solutions
In December at the Brookings Saban
Forum on the Middle East, Atlantic maga-
zine reporter Jeff Goldberg asked the
right-wing former Israeli Foreign Min-
ister Avigdor Lieberman this provocative
question: “Things are shifting radically
not only in non-Jewish America but in
Jewish America as it concerns Israel and
its reputation. My question is: (A) Do you
care? (B) What are you going to do about
it? And (C) how important is it to you?”
“To speak frankly, I don’t care,” Lieber-
man responded, adding that Israel lived in
a dangerous neighborhood. Give Lieber-
man credit for honesty: I don’t really care
what American Jews or non-Jews think
about Israel.
That conversation came back to me as I
listened to the Democratic and Republi-
can debates when they briefly veered into
foreign policy, with candidates spouting
the usual platitudes about standing with
our Israeli and Sunni Arab allies. Here’s a
news flash: You can retire those plati-
tudes. Whoever becomes the next presi-
dent will have to deal with a totally differ-
ent Middle East.
It will be a Middle East shaped by strug-
gle over a one-state solution, a no-state so-
lution, a non-state solution and a rogue-
state solution.
That is, a one-state solution in Israel, a
no-state solution in Syria, Yemen and Lib-
ya, a non-state solution offered by the Is-
Our candidates can

lamic caliphate and a rogue-state solution
offered by Iran.
Start with Israel. The peace process is
dead. It’s over, folks, so please stop send-
ing the New York Times Op-Ed page edi-
tor your proposals for a two-state solution
between Israelis and Palestinians. The
next U.S. president will have to deal with
an Israel determined to permanently oc-
cupy all the territory between the Jordan
River and the Mediterranean Sea, includ-
ing where 2.5 million West Bank
Palestinians live.
How did we get there? So many people
stuck knives into the peace process it’s
hard to know who delivered the mortal
blow. Was it the fanatical Jewish settlers
determined to keep expanding their foot-
print in the West Bank and able to sabo-
tage any Israeli politician or army officer
who opposed them? Was it right-wing
Jewish billionaires, like Sheldon Adelson,
who used their influence to blunt any U.S.
congressional criticism of Bibi Netanya-
hu?
Or was it Netanyahu, whose lust to hold
onto his seat of power is only surpassed by
his lack of imagination to find a secure
way to separate from the Palestinians?
Bibi won: He’s now a historic figure — the
founding father of the one-state solution.
And Hamas is the mother. Hamas de-
voted all its resources to digging tunnels
to attack Israelis from Gaza rather than
turning Gaza into Singapore, making a
laughingstock of Israeli peace advocates.
And Hamas launched a rocket close
enough to Tel Aviv’s airport that the U.S.
banned all American flights for a day, sig-
naling to every Israeli, dove or hawk, what
could happen if they ceded the West Bank.
But Hamas was not alone. The Palestin-
ian president, Mahmoud Abbas, sacked
the only effective Palestinian prime min-
ister ever, Salam Fayyad, who was dedi-
cated to fighting corruption and proving
that Palestinians deserved a state by fo-
cusing on building institutions, not U.N.
resolutions.
They all killed the two-state solution.
Let the one-state era begin. It will involve
a steady low-grade civil war between
Palestinians and Israelis and a growing Is-
raeli isolation in Europe and on college
campuses that the next U.S. president will
have to navigate.
Meanwhile, a no-state Syria — a Syria
that Bashar al-Assad and his Russian and
Iranian backers only partly control — will
be a chest wound bleeding refugees into
Europe. I am certain that Russia’s Presi-
dent Vladimir Putin is deliberately bomb-
ing anti-regime Syrians to drive them into
Europe in hopes of creating a rift in the
European Union, strain its resources and
make it a weaker rival to Russia and a
weaker ally for America.
And the non-state Sunni caliphate
(ISIS) and rogue-state Shiite Iran will
feed off each other. I love it when both
Democratic and Republican candidates
say, “When I am president, I’ll get Sunni
Arabs to take the lead in fighting ISIS.”
Gosh, I bet Obama never thought of that!
The Sunni Arabs are never going to de-
stroy a non-state ISIS as long as Iran be-
haves like a Shiite rogue state, not a nor-
mal one. It’s true, Iran is a great civiliza-
tion. It could dominate the region with the
dynamism of its business class, universi-
ties, science and arts. But Iran’s ayatol-
lahs don’t trust their soft power. They pre-
fer instead to go rogue, to look for dignity
in all the wrong places — by using Shiite
proxies to dominate four Arab capitals:
Beirut, Damascus, Sana and Baghdad.
So my advice to all the candidates is:
Keep talking about the fantasy Middle
East. I can always use a good bedtime
story to fall asleep. But get ready for the
real thing. This is not your grandfather’s
Israel anymore, it’s not your oil company’s
Saudi Arabia anymore, it’s not your
NATO’s Turkey anymore, it’s not your
cabdriver’s Iran anymore and it’s not your
radical chic college professor’s Palestine
anymore. It’s a wholly different beast now,

Building a Streetcar That Works
By Yonah Freemark
S
IXTY years ago, the last trolley
jangled down the streets of
Brooklyn, the end of an era for
what was once the most com-
mon mode of transportation for
urban Americans. Now streetcars are
making a comeback nationwide. In the
past decade, new lines have started run-
ning in eight cities; nearly a dozen more
will be under construction this year.
With Mayor Bill de Blasio’s proposed
16-mile, $2.5 billion Brooklyn-Queens
Connector, New York will join the parade.
If completed, the line would link Sunset
Park and Astoria via the East River wa-
terfront.
But experience shows that this
project’s success depends on more than
just a pair of tracks and new trolley cars.
A streetcar line that actually improves
quality of life for New Yorkers must be
fast, frequent and reliable — all of which
require redirecting street space away
from private automobiles and toward
public transit.
In most American cities with street-
cars, success has been limited by faulty
design. Forced to share lanes with auto-
mobiles, the streetcars get held up in traf-
fic. Unable to maneuver out of their
tracks, unlike nimbler buses, they get
stuck behind stopped cars or delivery
trucks.
Atlanta’s experience is instructive.
Caught in the same congestion as the
city’s drivers, its streetcar suffers from
miserable speeds (less than 10 miles an
hour on average) and terrible reliability.
As a result, it has struggled to attract rid-
ers; the system carries only about 2,000
passengers a day — as many as just one
rush-hour subway train in New York.
While smoother and more comfortable, it
is slower than run-of-the-mill buses,
which means people whose bus route was
replaced by the streetcar are spending
more time on their commutes.
The faster and more dependable a
streetcar line, the more time it will save
riders, and the more likely people will
choose it rather than polluting, expensive
and congestion-producing options like
personal automobiles or Uber. Given that
New Yorkers already suffer through
some of the nation’s longest commutes, a
problem particularly severe for residents
of low-income neighborhoods, speeding
up transit times should be a priority for
the de Blasio administration.
New York needs a different kind of
streetcar. The current plan does not in-
clude dedicated lanes, which are needed
to keep trams going. The Paris region’s
roughly 65-mile streetcar system, mostly
completed over the past decade, shows
how appealing quick-moving streetcars
can be. Carefully chosen routes with very
frequent arrivals and reliable service con-
nect areas that previously had poor tran-
sit service. The trams save time, so riders
make over 900,000 trips each day — far
more than on the 117-mile Washington
Metro train network, for example.
Other practices can also effectively re-
duce travel times for streetcar users. At
intersections, stoplights should automati-
cally turn green (or be prevented from
turning red) when trams approach.
Just as important, New York should
limit the number of streetcar stations.
Portland, Ore., is eliminating stops along
a streetcar line to quicken service, allow-
ing trains to spend more time moving and
less time picking up riders.

Is Big-Program Liberalism Over?
By Mark Schmitt
B
ERNIE Sanders and the policies
he advocates may represent
the future for many Democratic
primary voters, but his basic
theory of government is very
traditional, dating to the New Deal.
Mr. Sanders gets cheers for these ideas.
But his view is being challenged by a new,
more incremental liberalism, which cen-
ters on advancing liberal goals without
big, universal programs — an approach
being invented by President Obama and
Mr. Sanders’s opponent, Hillary Clinton.
The essence of Mr. Sanders’s version of
liberalism is government programs. Ex-
pansive initiatives that provide benefits to
“a broad cross-class constituency,” as the
Harvard political sociologist Theda
Skocpol puts it, such as Social Security and
Medicare, are not only good policy, they’re
at the heart of liberal politics. They remind
citizens of the essential role of government
in providing security and economic oppor-
tunity. And they anchor voters to the party
that backs those programs.
That’s the theory, anyway, and it’s
deeply embedded in Mr. Sanders’s ap-
proach. His proposals for single-payer
health care, free college tuition and paid
family leave financed through a small pay-
roll tax reflect the view that successful pro-
grams should be universal and create a
connection between individuals and gov-
ernment.
A program that covers everyone avoids
the class conflict over who gets help and
who doesn’t, as well as the refrain of “mak-
ers and takers” that Mitt Romney and Paul
Ryan used in the 2012 election.
That’s in sharp contrast to the policy ap-
proach of the Obama administration since
about 2011, and also to Hillary Clinton and
most of Mr. Sanders’s congressional col-
leagues. Their agendas are most interest-
ing and novel for the absence of big, uni-
Mark Schmitt is the director of the po-
litical reform program at New America.
This is an excerpt from Campaign Stops,
Can New York avoid the
pitfalls of other cities’
street-level lines?
Thankfully, New York already has a
model for such strategies. Select Bus
Service, which Mayor de Blasio has
worked to expand, has dedicated lanes,
priority at signals and limited stops to
speed nine routes operating in all five bor-
oughs. Increased speeds have pulled in
more riders and reduced commute times
for thousands.
Fast transit can play an important role
in reducing inequities. The commutes of
New Yorkers vary greatly based on
where they live, and residents of poor
neighborhoods are about 40 percent more
likely to have long commutes than their
wealthy counterparts. Their limited ac-
cess to jobs and other opportunities
reinforces their already-diminished eco-
nomic condition.
It is just as vital to get the streetcar’s
route right. Rather than connecting to ex-
isting subway stations in places like Sun-
set Park, Gowanus and Williamsburg, the
streetcar as now designed would force
riders to walk several blocks to transfer.
To reduce travel times, the streetcar must
make those connections. Similarly, pas-
sengers should be provided free transfers
versal programs that require legislative
action. Instead, they test the limits of what
government can do by rearranging the
pieces of existing programs, using regula-
tions, incentives to states, tax credits and
“nudges” informed by behavioral econom-
ics in place of direct spending.
What does that say about the future of
big programs? Unless Mr. Sanders can
sweep to power with a mandate and wide
congressional majorities that share his
view — the “political revolution” he prom-
ises — the future of social and economic
policy will involve, for better or worse,
these complex, incremental and often in-
visible changes, instead of big programs.
Mrs. Clinton’s “compact” for college tu-
ition assistance, which costs a fraction of
Clinton and Sanders,
and two paths to reform.
what Mr. Sanders’s free college plan costs,
illustrates the new method. There is no sin-
gle new program. Instead, she promises,
for example, to provide grants to states to
help them provide free tuition at communi-
ty colleges; to expand regulation of
predatory loan servicers and education
programs; to enact a “Borrower Bill of
Rights”; and to allow students to refinance
their loans at lower rates.
It’s all a lot more complicated — and for
candidate Clinton, especially in the prima-
ry, a tougher sell — than a single new pro-
gram in which government takes most of
the responsibility. But it fits well with the
methods employed by the Obama adminis-
tration in the years since the president re-
alized that he could not expect to achieve
an ambitious program with a deeply parti-
san Congress and a Republican House.
The Obama administration proposed
changes to overtime regulations, for ex-
ample, are predicted to raise wages for up
to five million workers. The MyRA retire-
ment proposal will, without congressional
action, set millions of American house-
THOMAS COLLIGAN
from buses and the subway to the street-
car to encourage riders to incorporate it
into their trips.
Finally, development policies should
support the use of the streetcar. In many
neighborhoods along the planned route,
zoning law severely restricts the scale of
buildings allowed (and therefore poten-
tial riders) and requires developments to
include a significant number of parking
spaces (which in turn encourages driv-
ing).
Chicago has begun a smart strategy to
promote the right kind of development
near transit: A 2015 zoning reform in-
creases allowed building size and reduces
the number of mandated parking spaces.
Without a similar change, New York’s
streetcar will be hobbled by neighbor-
hoods not designed for transit.
It won’t be easy to construct a streetcar
worth the money needed to build it. Dedi-
cated lanes and other actions that pri-
oritize transit often run against opposi-
tion to reducing space available to cars.
People who hold fast to a car-dominated
city fight increasing density and reducing
parking requirements.
But taking a stand in favor of these
measures is vital; without them, the
streetcar will be too slow to provide im-
proved transportation for the people who
need it, and it will attract too few riders to
justify its construction. Devoting more
room on our streets to the streetcar and,
just as important, to buses, is a policy
Mayor de Blasio, and other municipal
leaders, would do well to champion. 0
holds up with low-risk, low-cost retirement
savings accounts.
It’s more than just congressional intran-
sigence and polarization that led liberals to
move beyond big new programs. Passage
of the Affordable Care Act finally put in
place the last big piece of the New Deal’s
agenda. And the cautiousness of most
Democratic candidates about taxes makes
it difficult to push for new programs. While
Mr. Sanders acknowledges that his new
programs will require tax increases, he
uses the same rule as Mrs. Clinton and
President Obama — no tax increases on
households under $250,000 — in several of
his initiatives, and claims that he will pay
for the cost of others through taxes on the
“billionaire class.”
But without new programs, it really is
possible to deny the need for broader tax
increases, as Mrs. Clinton does. There is
no need for revenue to reduce future budg-
et deficits; the best way to keep deficits un-
der control is to keep the economy growing
and to reduce health care spending, which
again means more tinkering.
These policy machinations should not
be confused with “triangulation” — the
modest, symbolic gestures adopted by the
Clinton administration in the mid-1990s to
show a recognition of conservative values.
These are intended instead to make
progress toward big goals by putting to-
gether various moving pieces.
There are many downsides to building
policy this way. It’s unlikely that the
MyRA, for example, will be enough to
meet the shortfall in Americans’ retire-
ment savings or reduce inequality of
wealth.
These efforts pull what the Cornell po-
litical scientist Suzanne Mettler calls the
“submerged state” further under the
waves. Citizens don’t see or feel these ini-
tiatives and may not know that they are
benefiting from a government initiative at
all.
But if this is the only way to drive reform
— and in the current political configura-
tion, it is — then politicians in both parties
will have no choice but to find ways to
achieve big change without big new pro-
grams. 0 ends.

Feminism,
Hell
And Hillary
I’m 51. My health is decent. And while
my mother died young, there’s longevity
elsewhere in the family tree.
I could live to see an openly gay presi-
dential candidate with a real chance of
victory.
Will there be a “special place in hell”
for me if I, as a gay man, don’t support
him or her?
I can guess Madeleine Albright’s an-
swer. She more or less told women that
they’re damned if they’re not on Hillary
Clinton’s team.
I’m still trying to get my head around
that — and around Gloria Steinem’s
breathtakingly demeaning assertion
that young women who back Bernie
Sanders are in thrall to pheromones, not
ideas or idealism, and angling to score
dates with the young bucks in the
Sanders brigade.
That’s right, “democratic socialism” is
a known aphrodisiac: the oyster of poli-
tics. There’s nothing like denunciations
of oligarchs to put you in the mood.
Also, has Steinem forgotten about
lesbians? More than a few of them sup-
port Sanders, and it’s not because of the
way some 26-year-old doctoral candi-
date looks in his L. L. Bean flannel.
There’s a weird strain of thought swirl-
ing around Clinton’s campaign: that we
should vote for her because she’s a wom-
an. Or that she’s inoculated from certain
flaws or accusations by dint of gender. Or
that, at the least, there’s an onus on for-
ward-looking people who care about gen-
der inequality to promote her candidacy.
I care about gender inequality, and I
don’t buy it. It’s bad logic. It’s even worse
strategy. People don’t vote out of shame.
They vote out of hope.
Perhaps that was among the lessons of
Clinton’s defeat in New Hampshire on
Tuesday, where she lost to Sanders
among all women by at least seven per-
centage points, according to exit polling,
and among women under 30 by more
than 60 points.
Clinton is on sturdy ground, morally
and tactically, when she mentions a dou-
ble standard for women. So are her sur-
rogates. Actually, there are so many dou-
ble standards that you couldn’t fit them
in a column eight times the length of this
one, and she has bumped into plenty, in-
cluding, yes, the fuss over her raised
voice.
But the argument that she’s somehow
not a full-fledged member of the estab-
Gender informs her
quest, but it’s not the
main way to judge her.
lishment because she’s a woman — as
she contended during the most recent
Democratic debate — is nonsense. On
that night, she also echoed a past state-
ment to CBS News that she “cannot
imagine anyone being more of an out-
sider than the first woman president.”
Really? Anyone? Off the top of my
head I can think of a person who might
quibble with that. His name is Barack
Obama.
Admittedly, there’s no easy way to
navigate the terrain she inhabits. Eight
years ago, she denied her campaign the
romantic sweep of Obama’s by playing
down and trying to correct for gender.
This time around, she was advised,
rightly, not to repeat that mistake. But
how to do that without going too far?
I think she started out perfectly, with
incontestable reflections on women’s
challenges in the workplace and with
casual asides about the historic nature of
her bid. Discussing her age, she said, “I
will be the youngest woman president in
the history of the United States.”
But more recently, things have fallen
out of whack. Bill Clinton’s diatribe about
the misogyny of some Sanders
supporters sounded like a defensive out-
sourcing of blame for the Clinton cam-
paign’s disappointments in the polls and
the returns: the narrowest of victories in
Iowa followed by the resounding New
Hampshire defeat.
The Clintons are always quick to point
fingers and slow to look in the mirror. On
top of which, Bill Clinton’s invocation of
sexism felt too pat, his citation of gross
language on Twitter (which, sadly, brims
with it) too easy.
Clinton’s gender indeed matters. Just
as you couldn’t properly evaluate Oba-
ma’s arc without factoring in race, you
can’t see her accurately without recog-
nizing that she’s a woman of her time,
with all the attendant obstacles, hurts,
compromises and tenacity.
That informs — and, ideally, illumi-
nates — her perspective. And her presi-
dency would carry a powerful, construc-
tive symbolism that can’t and shouldn’t

But those are considerations among
many, many others in taking her meas-

Web Companies Are Pulling Back
The Curtain on the Prices of Drugs
By KATIE THOMAS
Americans have come to rely on their
smartphones to help them do seemingly ev-
erything, like hailing a taxi and comparing
prices of dog food.
But when it comes to buying prescription
drugs, consumers still find the process mad-
deningly antiquated.
Now, a few entrepreneurs say they are aim-
ing to fundamentally change the way people
buy drugs, bringing the industry into the
digital age by disclosing the lowest prices for
generic prescriptions to allow comparison-
shopping.
Most major pharmacies do not list the price
of the drugs they sell. And even if they do,
prices for the same drug can vary strikingly
and cost far more than the rate that most
insurers pay. Consumers often don’t know
how much they will owe until the pharmacist
tallies the purchase at the cash register.
“The prices are all over the map, even
within the same ZIP code,” said Lisa Gill, dep-
uty editor of Consumer Reports Best Buy
Drugs, which tracks variation in prices. “It’s a
retail transaction that doesn’t actually act like
any retail transaction.”
Frustration over drug pricing bubbled over
at a congressional hearing last week, when
Representative Peter Welch, Democrat of
Vermont, directed an exasperated question at
an executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals,
which set off public outrage last fall after

Philippe P. Dauman, Viacom’s
chief executive, challenged an ana-
lyst’s depiction of its “exceedingly
poor performance” over the past
several years. He attributed some
of Viacom’s recent decline to “a lot
of noise” around the company, and
said that “no one should doubt his
resolve” in resuscitating the com-
pany’s stock price.
“Our outlook and the facts have
been distorted and obscured by the
naysayers, self-interested critics
and publicity seekers,” Mr. Dauman
said in a conference call. “We will
not be distracted or deterred as we
build for the bright future ahead of
us.”
Despite the combative rebuttal
by the usually mild-mannered Mr.
Dauman, Viacom’s weak quarterly
results and bleak analyst forecasts
undermined his arguments and
turned off investors. Tuesday’s clos-
ing price of $32.86 was the lowest
since July of 2010, and Viacom’s
stock has fallen about 51 percent in
the last year.
“For the last two years, Viacom
has been the classic value trap – a

The Super Bowl Ad That Set Off Economic Alarm Bells
By NEIL IRWIN
To people with fresh memories
of the housing collapse, the most
disturbing advertisement during
the Super Bowl on Sunday was-
n’t the one featuring a creepy
“PuppyMonkeyBaby” climbing
all over a Mountain Dew drinker.
Rather, it was the one for the new
Quicken Loans “Rocket Mort-
gage,” which aims to make it
easier to get a mortgage using a
mobile device.
The ad raises profound, and
problematic, questions of what
the United States’ growth strat-
egy should look like, even if the
intent was only to get people to
use a mortgage app. In short: We
now know how flawed the
mid-2000s growth strategy, built
on soaring consumer debt, really
was. But we haven’t found any
great ideas for how to replace it.
The Quicken Loans ad argued
that more people getting mort-
gages more easily — with the
push of a button on a phone
while sitting at a show, for exam-
ple — would set off a chain reac-
tion leading to purchases of
furniture and household goods
and then more jobs for people
who make those goods. A “tidal
wave of ownership floods the
country with new homeowners
who now must own other things,”
the narrator said. “And isn’t that
the power of America itself?”
The hackles this raised among
the economic commentariat were
instant. For a while during the
Super Bowl, certain segments of
Twitter were dominated not by
talk of Peyton Manning and Cam
Newton, but by snark. “Rocket
Mortgage: Let’s do the financial
crisis again, but with apps!”
tweeted Dave Weigel of The
Washington Post. (I had one of
my own, but it wasn’t as funny.)
The Consumer Financial Pro-
tection Bureau offered its own
timely reminder that people
taking out a mortgage should
take their time and ask lots of
questions. And by Monday more
considered criticism and defense
of the ad had aired.
Quicken Loans’ defense of the
commercial is strongest on this
point: Its product is about
making the process of applying
for a loan easier, not about lower-
ing the standards for who can get
a loan and on what terms. “It’s a
far different world today than in
2006 or 2007,” Jay Farner, presi-
dent of Quicken Loans, said in an
interview on Monday.
The wave of foreclosures start-
ing in 2007 that dragged the

Rising Debt Comes Due

players in the nation’s shale oil
boom. Now they are likely to be
acquired or their assets sold off.
As much as a third of the oil indus-
try could be consolidated as a re-
sult of the downturn, according to
one estimate.
“Today our goal is to survive,”
Danny Campbell, chairman of the
Permian Basin Petroleum Associ-
ation, began his welcoming re-
marks at a dinner here for oil ex-
ecutives last month. “Keep your
name in the phone book and your
debt low.”
There are now virtually no
wells in the United States prof-
itable to drill. That has forced
some companies into a fatal spiral,
producing oil simply to satiate
their lenders. Others are getting
desperate. In late December, Caza
essentially sold itself to a New
York investment firm to pay off its
lenders.
Investors are on edge. A report
that Chesapeake Energy, a major
natural gas and oil company, hired
lawyers to help restructure its
more than $10 billion in debt sent
its shares plunging on Monday,
prompting the company to deny
publicly that it was preparing for
bankruptcy.
The oil industry regularly un-
dergoes booms and busts. But the
downside of this cycle may prove
more extreme, and the shakeout
messier, thanks to the easy money
that flooded the industry from
hedge funds, private equity firms
and tax-advantaged investment
structures called business devel-
opment companies.
“The industry will be perma-

economy into recession and set
off a global financial crisis was
driven in large part by a collapse
in underwriting standards.
Lenders offered mortgages to
people with wildly inadequate
incomes or down payments or
documentation. Lending
standards are much tighter now,
and the new mobile app does
nothing to change that.
“For folks that were well quali-
fied but weren’t moving forward
with a purchase or a refinance,
we asked why,” Mr. Farner said.
“The ad that was created speaks
to the information we received
from them.”
They found that some people
who might save, say, $150 a
month by refinancing, or who
could afford a home for less than
their rent, were reluctant to do
so because the paperwork has-
sles seemed so daunting.
The company’s solution —
especially as it is portrayed in
the commercial — does have
problems. The commercial por-
nently damaged,” said Steven H.
Pruett, chief executive of Eleva-
tion Resources, a leading Midland
oil company.
Energy & Exploration Partners
of Fort Worth, for example, bor-
rowed from at least 24 hedge
funds to help acquire thousands of
acres of land in Texas as oil prices
topped $100 a barrel. The com-
pany filed for bankruptcy in De-
cember after its lenders could not
agree on how to save it.
As the losses mount, investors
and lenders are already laying the
groundwork for the rebound,
snapping up assets in fire sales
and making new loans. But these
are uneasy days, even for
opportunists. Burned by forecasts
that predicted oil would recover
last year, many investors fear that
they could be too early if they
jump in now.
The industry’s crushing debt
load — energy companies on aver-
age have twice as much leverage,
or borrowed money, as companies
in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock
index — is also having some per-
verse effects.
Some oil companies are keep-
ing up production simply to gener-
ate enough cash to make debt pay-
ments, according to bankers and
energy executives.
Banks looking to shore up col-
lateral on their loans — which is
typically a company’s oil reserves
— are requiring producers to drill
new wells to prove that their re-
serves can actually produce the
oil.
Major oil companies like Exxon
Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell,
which have ample cash cushions,
may end up benefiting from the

trays taking out a home loan
using the app as being almost a
casual thing to do.
Reducing paperwork and
bureaucratic hurdles to a mort-
gage are desirable in isolation;
the homebuying process is laden
with hidden fees and conflicts of
interest that can add thousands
of dollars to the price of a home.
But the Quicken Loans ad
goes a step further, with the
narrator asking what would
happen if the Internet “did for
mortgages what the Internet did
for buying music, plane tickets
and shoes,” then showing a
woman getting a home mortgage
with the press of a button on her
phone.
If taken too literally, this could
get people in trouble. A home
mortgage is the biggest financial
obligation most people will take
on. If you buy the wrong music,
plane ticket or shoes, it’s proba-
bly not a crippling financial
burden, where the wrong mort-
gage can be.
So to the degree Quicken
Loans is getting rid of some
unnecessary paperwork in the
mortgage process, it’s useful
innovation. To the degree that it

turmoil, scooping up broken com-
panies or their assets.
But even the global giants are
not immune to the slump, as their
profits dwindle and credit rating
firms downgrade their debt. On
Tuesday, Anadarko slashed its
quarterly dividend more than 81
percent. And Exxon announced
last week that it was curtailing its
stock buyback program.
The worst pain is hitting the
smaller players: thousands of
companies that snapped up land
in places like West Texas and
North Dakota, using billions in
borrowed money.
Many of these companies oper-
ated like start-ups with little con-
trol over expenses and without a
track record to help them survive
a slump. None of that seemed to
worry Wall Street, which show-
ered the companies with loans.
In the summer of 2014, Energy
& Exploration Partners borrowed
more than $700 million to acquire
thousands of acres in East Texas.
The land was rich in oil, but it
cost more to produce because of
the rudimentary infrastructure in
the remote area. For a time, Ener-
gy & Exploration Partners had to
pay for diesel generators to power
the rigs because there was limited
it could be dangerous. It’s a
subtle distinction, but an impor-
tant one, and the ad isn’t terribly
careful about making clear the
product is about the former, not
the latter.
Then there’s the broader the-
ory of the economy embedded in
the Quicken Loans ad: that easi-
er-to-obtain mortgage loans will
spur new spending, in turn
spurring more home sales and so
on in a virtuous circle.
As an economic strategy, it
should sound familiar. It is what
the United States experienced
from the 1980s through 2007, and
arguably throughout the entire
postwar period. And it’s a real
thing!
The homeownership rate has
plummeted since hitting a high in
2004, and if it rose, there would
surely be ripple effects for sales
of other goods, such as the sec-
tional couches with hand-lathed
wooden legs portrayed in the
Quicken Loans ad.
The problem is, this strategy
worked best — and the home-
ownership rate reached its high-
est point — when it was all fu-
eled by a boom in consumer
indebtedness that left millions of
people financially vulnerable
when the economy went south in
2008.
electricity, according to a person
briefed on the matter who spoke
on the condition of anonymity.
When oil prices topped $100 a
barrel, the company could easily
cover its production costs and in-
terest payments. But that
changed when, at Saudi Arabia’s
urging, the Organization of the Pe-
troleum Exporting Countries re-
sisted calls to cut production in
late 2014, leading to a worldwide
glut and sending prices down.
Energy & Exploration Partners
bought hedges, allowing the com-
pany to survive for most of last
year by selling oil at $70 a barrel.
But when those hedges ran out
late last year, the company was
low on cash. It declared bank-
ruptcy in December.
Nationally, just 15 percent of oil
and gas production is hedged in
2016, compared with 28 percent in
the fourth quarter, according to
IHS, the research firm.
Without the cushioning from
hedges, oil prices soon will no
longer cover production costs.
In Midland, the heart of the oil-
rich Permian Basin, as many as 40

minder for many that exploration
It’s possible for an economy to
be driven by a rise in home-
ownership and consumer spend-
ing without a debt run-up. That’s
more or less what happened
from the end of World War II
until 1980 or so. Household for-
mation — the process by which
people set up their homes, often
as they become young adults
and move away from home —
really has been depressed since
the housing bust. The economy
would benefit if that reverses.
“We’re trying to say that done
the right way, homebuying can
be beneficial,” Mr. Farner said.
“We’re not trying to tell people
they should go run up debt, but
good responsible homeowners
do make investments in furni-
ture, and that creates jobs and
opportunity for all.”
There’s nothing inherently
wrong with any of that. Respon-
sible use of debt can be an im-
portant way for people to build a
stable future. But given how
badly it ended last time, anyone
who lived through the housing
bust can be forgiven for being

in the fields is grinding to a halt.
As rigs go off-line, companies
are using technologies to squeeze
oil out of existing wells. But if an
aging well breaks, many compa-
nies are not spending the money
to fix it, and executives predict a
rapid decline in production as
shale wells peter out.
Now sensing a possible bottom,
a new wave of Wall Street money
is flooding the oil patch.
Adventure Exploration Part-
ners sold all of its West Texas oil
fields for $210 million just as prices
were collapsing in late 2014. A few
months later, with oil already be-
low $50 a barrel, Paul L. Lucas, the
company’s chief executive, and
his partners began to dip back in
again. With $50 million committed
by Kayne Anderson Capital Advi-
sors of Los Angeles, the company
started acquiring new acreage.
Adventure Exploration Part-
ners is not drilling yet, because
the price is not right. “We’re hop-
ing to see prices stabilize and re-
cover sometime in 2017,” Mr. Lu-
cas said.
For David M. Zusman, chief in-
vestment officer at Talara Capital
in New York, oil has reached an
“inflection point” that he is not go-

Mention in Beyoncé Song Lifts
Sales 33% at Red Lobster Chain
The seafood restaurant chain Red
Lobster said sales surged 33
percent on Sunday, compared
with last year’s Super Bowl Sun-
day, after Beyoncé released a
song, “Formation,” in which she
sings about taking a romantic
partner to the restaurant. “It’s
clear that Beyoncé has helped
create some Red Lobster fans,”
Red Lobster’s chief, Kim Lopdrup,
said in a statement. More conven-
tional contributing factors for the
rise in sales included relatively
mild weather and a “Lobsterfest”
promotion. The spotlight is a
welcome change for Red Lobster,
which was cast off by Darden
Restaurants in 2014 after a long
stretch of declining sales. The
chain, which is now privately held
by the investment firm Golden
Gate Capital, said the Beyoncé
song made Red Lobster a trend-
ing topic on Twitter for the first
time. (AP)
Step Toward Approval
For Self-Driving Autos
United States vehicle safety regu-
lators have said the artificial
intelligence system piloting a
self-driving Google car could be
considered the driver under
federal law, an important step
toward winning approval for
autonomous vehicles on the
roads. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration told
Google of its decision in a previ-
ously unreported Feb. 4 letter to
the company posted on the agen-
cy’s website this week. Google’s
self-driving car unit on Nov. 12
submitted a proposed design for a
self-driving car that has “no need
for a human driver,” the letter
said. Automakers and technology
companies are racing to develop
vehicles that can drive them-
selves at least part of the time. If
the car’s artificial intelligence is
considered the driver for legal
purposes, then it clears the way
for automakers to design vehicle
systems that communicate di-
rectly with the vehicle’s artificial
pilot. The safety agency’s re-
sponse to Google offered its most
comprehensive outline of the legal
obstacles to putting fully autono-
mous vehicles on the road. Google
said it was “still evaluating” the
safety agency’s response.

Disney Earnings, Stoked by ‘Star Wars’ Sales, Increase 28%
By BROOKS BARNES
LOS ANGELES — Speeding
past Wall Street’s expectations,
Disney on Tuesday reported a 28
percent increase in quarterly
profit, with the “Star Wars” fran-
chise as the primary engine.
But instead of reveling in the
record results, Robert A. Iger, Dis-
ney’s chief executive, found him-
self once again mounting a de-
fense of ESPN on a post-earnings
conference call with analysts.
Since August, when Mr. Iger ac-
knowledged that ESPN had expe-
rienced modest subscriber losses,
Disney has been dogged by con-
cerns about the long-term health
of its cable television holdings,
which have historically provided
the bulk of its annual profit. Mr.
Iger has repeatedly rejected the
notion, put forward by a few ana-
lysts, that ESPN is particularly at
risk as some consumers forgo a
traditional cable subscription.
On Tuesday’s call, Mr. Iger
again emphasized the strength of
ESPN, noting that in recent weeks
the sports behemoth had achieved
an increase in subscribers, in part
from new, slim cable and satellite
services like Sling TV that are
popular with younger consumers.
Study Ties Female Leaders
To Rise in Company Profits
By DANIEL VICTOR
Companies pondering the in-
centives for increased gender di-
versity in their executive ranks
may need to look no further than
the bottom line.
Having women in the highest
corporate offices is correlated
with increased profitability, ac-
cording to a new study of nearly
22,000 publicly traded companies
in 91 countries.
The study, released Monday by
the Peterson Institute for Interna-
tional Economics, a nonprofit
group based in Washington, and
EY, the audit firm formerly known
as Ernst & Young, found that de-
spite the apparent economic bene-
fits, many corporations are lack-
ing in gender diversity.
Almost 60 percent of the compa-
nies reviewed had no female
board members, and more than 50
percent had no female executives.
Just under 5 percent had a female
chief executive.
The study found that female
C.E.O.s did not significantly un-
derperform or overperform when
compared with male chief execu-
tives. While it found some indica-
tions that having more women on
boards was correlated with higher
profitability, Marcus Noland, the
institute’s director of studies, said
that “in statistical terms that evi-
Details of ‘Happy Birthday’ Copyright Settlement Are Revealed
By BEN SISARIO
In a coda to one of the most no-
table music copyright lawsuits in
years, the Warner Music Group
has agreed to pay $14 million to
settle claims over “Happy Birth-
day to You,” after a judge ruled
last year that the company’s long-
claimed copyright to the famous
song was invalid.
Warner Music, through its pub-
lishing subsidiary Warner/Chap-
pell, agreed after mediation to pay
the settlement to a class of “thou-
At one point, in response to an an-
alyst question about the changing
way media is consumed, Mr. Iger
said it was “just ridiculous” to
think that ESPN would not contin-
ue to dominate.
“Predictions that many have
made are more dire than they
should be,” he added, sounding a
bit frustrated.
Disney executives also sought
to use the call to focus attention on
what they called long-term “pur-
poseful diversification” efforts,
which have included the acquisi-
tions of Pixar, Lucasfilm and Mar-
vel; doubling the size of Disney
Cruise Line; and aggressive
theme park expansion.
Disney has 11 franchises that
generate $1 billion or more in an-
nual sales, Mr. Iger noted. He add-
ed that, between 2009 and 2015,
operating income at the division
that houses ESPN grew 8 percent
compounded annually while the
rest of the company’s businesses
combined to contribute 23 percent
compounded growth.
But analysts continued to press
him on ESPN, and Disney shares
fell 3 percent after hours.
For the quarter that ended Jan.
2, which is the first quarter of Dis-
ney’s fiscal year, the entertain-
dence is not robust.”
But the data was clear about
women in top management
positions. An increase in the share
of women from zero to 30 percent
would be associated with a 15 per-
cent rise in profitability, Mr.
Noland said.
The results suggested that
more needs to be done to establish
a management pipeline of women
as early as childhood, Mr. Noland
said. Countries with school-age
girls who score highly on math
tests were more likely to have
women in management positions,
he said. “The larger the pool, the
more you’re going to see make it
to that very top level,” he said.
The study did not find evidence
that quotas for women on boards,
which are required by law in coun-
tries like Norway, Denmark and
Finland, were having an impact
on bottom lines. “In the long run,

Monsanto
Will Pay
$80 Million
To S.E.C.
Settling a Case
Over Rebates
For Roundup
By LIZ MOYER
Monsanto will pay $80 million
in penalties to the Securities and
Exchange Commission to settle
claims that it misstated earnings
after failing to account properly
for the costs of a sales rebate pro-
gram for its flagship herbicide
product, Roundup.
The S.E.C. said Monsanto, an
agribusiness giant based in St.
Louis, had insufficient internal
controls to properly track millions
of dollars in rebates it offered to
Roundup retailers and distribu-
tors. The rebates were part of a
promotion that Monsanto ran af-
ter sales of a generic version of the
product undercut its business in
2009.
Monsanto booked substantial
revenue as a result of the sales
promotion from 2009 through 2011,
but it did not recognize related
costs, which led it to misstate cor-
porate profits over a three-year
period.
It is one of the largest account-
ing-related settlements by the
S.E.C. since Mary Jo White took
over as chairwoman of the agency
in 2013 with a plan to refocus on
corporate accounting abuses as
investigations related to the finan-
cial crisis were ending.
Accounting cases more than
doubled, to 114 through September
2015, from 53 for the same period
in 2013. Last June, the S.E.C.
struck a $190 million civil settle-
ment with the Computer Sciences
Corporation and charged eight
former employees and executives
with manipulating financial re-
sults.
“Corporations must be truthful
in their earnings releases to
investors and have sufficient in-

ternal accounting controls in
place to prevent misleading state-
ments,” Ms. White said on Tues-
day.
Failing to recognize expenses
related to rebates “is the latest
page from a well-worn playbook of
accounting misstatements,” she
said.
Monsanto, which is neither ad-
mitting nor denying wrongdoing,
also agreed to hire a consultant to
review its financial reporting of
rebate programs for its crop pro-
tection business. In a statement,
the company said it previously
disclosed the investigation and re-
stated its earnings for 2009
through 2011 at the end of 2011.
“The company is pleased to put
this matter behind it,” the state-
ment said.
Monsanto’s chief executive,
Hugh Grant, reimbursed the com-
pany $3,165,852 for cash bonuses
and stock awards he received dur-
ing the period in question, and its
former chief financial officer, Carl
Casale, returned $728,843 in com-
pensation.
The S.E.C. said it did not find
any personal misconduct on ei-
ther man’s part and would not pur-
sue so-called clawbacks under the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
In addition, three accounting
and sales executives will also pay
penalties totaling $185,000, and
the accountants agreed to be sus-
pended temporarily from practic-
ing before the S.E.C.
Roundup, one of Monsanto’s
most profitable products, began
losing market share after com-
petitors undercut its sales with
cheaper generic brands. In 2009,
Monsanto introduced a rebate
program that would help make up
for price reductions in the product
in subsequent years if retailers
and distributors met certain sales
goals.

Roundup sales that year occurred
in the fourth quarter, when the re-
bate program was introduced.
Monsanto delayed reporting the
costs of the rebate program until
2010.
A new rebate program was cre-
ated in 2010, under which Mon-

New Hotel Finds a Welcome in Asbury Park
By C. J. HUGHES
ASBURY PARK, N.J. — Like a broken
carousel, this boardwalk-lined beach re-
sort has often seemed to be stuck in
place.
Sweeping plans to revive its water-
front have been floated since the 1980s,
when most of the city’s rides and games
closed. But those proposals have
produced few lasting or notable results.
The Asbury, a major new hotel, howev-
er, has some residents saying they’re
more optimistic about a turnaround than
they’ve been in years. The hotel, set to be
completed in May, comes after a string of
other redevelopment projects.
“It’s a new day,” said Yvonne Clayton, a
city councilwoman who grew up in As-
bury Park, relocated to Manhattan in
1968 and moved back in 2011. “We still
have a ways to go, but we are nowhere
near where we used to be.”
Created by iStar, a lender-turned-de-
veloper that has become a force in the
city’s revival, the 110-room hotel occupies
a complex once owned by the Salvation
Army and used to house the organiza-
tion’s retirees. It had been empty since
the mid-2000s.
The $50 million project, which began
in 2014, will retain much of the existing
red brick structure on Fifth Avenue, a
block and a half from the beach. The de-
sign team, led by Anda Andrei, a de-
signer who previously worked for the
hotelier Ian Schrager, has removed
floors, added doors and enlarged win-
dows for an airier feel.
It’s the first new hotel to open in the
city in perhaps as much as a half-century.

traffic, Asbury Park used to be packed
with hotels. Despite its early popularity,
Asbury Park began a long, slow decline
after World War II, according to Werner
Baumgartner, the city historian.
The city is best known as Bruce
Springsteen’s launching pad, but
through the years it has attracted acts as
diverse as Ella Fitzgerald, the Rolling
Stones and Van Halen. The Asbury’s
developers hope to keep the musical tra-
ditions alive, offering a lofty event space
where performances can be staged in
front of about 300 people.
At the Asbury, special attention has
been given to areas that can be shared by
hotel guests and the public, in a commu-
nity that development officials say takes
its come-one-come-all vibe seriously. As-
bury Park’s population of 17,000 is eco-
nomically and racially mixed, and in-
cludes a growing gay population.
A long lobby with 22-foot ceilings will
feature a music library, where anybody
can select a vinyl record and play it on a
turntable. Vintage cassettes and VHS
tapes will also be on hand.
Outside the hotel, in a tree-shaded
yard, trucks will dispense New Jersey-
brewed beers to guests and passers-by,
though an adjacent 50-foot hedge-encir-
cled swimming pool will be mostly re-
served for guests.
The complex’s roofs are intended to be
festive gathering spots as well, including
a section that will be lined with artificial
grass, painted with a Twister board, and
white picket fences. A towering movie
screen will cover a wall.
A separate section will offer Salvation,
a pergola-topped lounge named in honor
of the building’s roots, where guests can
sip cocktails while admiring striking At-
lantic views.
“It’s all about having flowing, commu-
nal spaces,” said David Bowd, the chief
executive of Salt Hotels, the Asbury’s op-
erator. Currently, Salt operates two prop-
erties in Provincetown, Mass., and one

Also, unlike with other boutique prop-

will sell breakfast sandwiches, salads

start at $50 a night, for one of those
bunks, or $125 a night for a room with a

Earlier efforts to redevelop the area of-
ten failed. Economic downturns, corrup-
tion convictions, and lawsuits between
the city and developers seemed to hobble
large-scale plans, which often razed
buildings but put nothing up in their
place.
One hard-to-miss symbol of those fail-
ures may be the block at Ocean and Third
Avenues, near the Asbury hotel. A condo
planned there in the 1980s, Ocean Mile,
was never completed, leaving a skeletal
frame. In the 2000s, that frame was
cleared to make way for Esperanza, a dif-
ferent condo. Yet it failed, too, and a half-
built structure still haunts the area.

over. After the revolution they took
everything from us — our homes, our
cars. I had a plane. They took the cash
in the bank, construction machinery.
And I let all the employees go.
Q. Did you receive any recompense?
A. My partner did. I couldn’t because
they wouldn’t let my mother out of the
country. My mother was the only one
left in Iran, and she lived in my house
in Tehran, and they wouldn’t let her out.
So I dropped my claim. They let her
out. She passed away last March at the
age of 94.
Q. So you had to start your business
from scratch in this country.
A. Yeah, it was much harder than when
I started from scratch in Iran. But I was
a graduate for New York University. I
had lived in New York for eight years. I
lived on the North Shore of Long Is-
land. I had a track record.
Q. Let’s talk about some of the projects
you’re working on right now.

the Middle East. We’re only in the

failed to complete much of what it
promised. After the recession hit, iStar, a
major lender to Asbury Partners, ulti-
mately took over its properties.
Today, iStar, a publicly traded com-
pany with numerous condo projects in its
national portfolio, controls 35 acres in
Asbury Park. It has pledged to build
thousands of homes, hundreds of hotel
rooms, night life venues and storefronts,
helped by generous property tax breaks,
while reviving that desolate Esperanza
site with a 16-story condo-hotel.
So far, iStar has completed Vive, a 28-
unit condo complex that opened in 2014,
and other condo projects are underway.
It has also improved infrastructure, add-
ing sidewalks, landscaping and lighting.
“Asbury Park has all these wonderful
elements, the things that we look for in
any great city or town,” said Jay Sugar-
man, the company’s chief executive, who
recalled visiting Asbury Park in the early
1980s, during a road trip when he was at
Princeton, and playing old mechanical
games for a nickel.
“Our vision here is to create a magnet
for interesting people who enjoy life,” Mr.
Sugarman said. He expressed hope that
in its revamped version, Asbury Park
could compete as a vacation draw with
Fire Island, the Hudson Valley or the
Hamptons.
Whether a hotel can make the next

meantime, the area is clearly enjoying a
bounce.
In the summer, for the last several
years, the mile-long beach has been
packed, and a restored boardwalk is dot-
ted with restaurants serving Korean ta-
cos, Cuban sandwiches and ceviche. In-
land, too, there are signs of investment,
with old bank and newspaper buildings
recast as housing.
Still, crime remains a problem, accord-
ing to city officials, and the poverty rate
is high.
But the Asbury hotel seems intent on
addressing at least some of those social
issues. It has established a 10-week hos-
pitality training program for local
residents, who after completing the
course could land some of the 150 jobs be-
ing created by the new hotel, according
to Mr. Bowd, who added, “At least, that’s
our hope.”

Fine for Former Executive in ‘London Whale’ Case
By BEN PROTESS
Four years after a trading fiasco
upended JPMorgan Chase and
cost it $6 billion in losses, a British
regulator on Tuesday accused a
former bank executive of failing to
be “open and cooperative” about
the matter, the latest twist in a
long-running episode known as
the London whale.
The regulator, the Financial
Conduct Authority, took aim at
Achilles Macris, fining him
792,900 pounds, or about $1.1 mil-
lion. Mr. Macris, the agency said,
sugarcoated the extent of the
problems JPMorgan had faced in
early 2012 as it racked up losses on
a soured derivatives portfolio.
“A failure to communicate
openly with us can affect the well-
running of markets and cause un-
necessary harm to investors, es-
pecially in times of financial stress
or crisis,” Mark Steward, the
F.C.A.’s director of enforcement
and market oversight, said in a
news release. “Mr. Macris should
have explained the position more
squarely, especially when he
knew the synthetic credit
portfolio’s losses had worsened.”
Mr. Macris settled the case, but
issued a defiant statement de-
fending his actions. In the state-
ment, Mr. Macris said, “While I
maintain that my efforts in this re-
gard were above and beyond any

try executives somewhat more
tempered in their comments on a
Brexit. The British public blames
highly paid bankers for the finan-
cial crisis and the scandals over
currency trading and interest-
rate rigging.
British businesses of all sorts
benefit from being able to buy and
sell in the European Union’s esti-
mated $15.1 trillion common-mar-
ket economy and its 500 million
people. And though immigration
is a contentious issue, British
companies benefit from their abil-
ity to hire any European Union cit-
izen.
Bankers do not exactly love the
raft of regulations in Europe, like
the cap on bonuses and a proposal
to tax financial transactions. But
many believe that a Brexit would
be problematic.
A big concern is that a Brexit
could set off an economic down-
turn for Britain and a plunge in the
country’s currency. Financial
services represent more than 14
percent of Britain’s nearly $3 tril-
lion economy, according to the
City of London Corporation, the de
facto municipal government for
much of the financial district.
Were Britain to leave the Euro-
pean Union, bankers in London
might no longer have the auto-
matic right to provide services to
clients in other European nations
— like securities trading, foreign
exchange and investment man-
American operations are still
taxed in the United States and
pay taxes here.
The point of the inversion, of
course, was to reduce taxes as
much as possible. So, the com-
pany arranges for the United
States parts of its operations to
borrow large amounts of money
from the now-foreign parent. The
indebted American subsidiary
will pay interest on that debt to
the parent. Under the United
States tax code, the interest
payment can be used to offset the
American earnings.
Voilà! The earnings of the
company are now offset by these
interest payments. What used to
be a significant tax bill disap-
pears.
To be fair, the earnings-strip-
ping option is available to any
foreign company with earnings in
the United States.
But it does appear that Ameri-
can companies that have inverted
are particularly poor expatriates,
willing to take aggressive acts to
exploit this tax loophole. A 2004
study of 12 corporate inversions
found evidence that after inver-
sion, companies engaged in earn-
ings stripping. The authors found
that four of the companies had
engaged in almost 100 percent
earnings stripping, costing the
United States Treasury roughly
$700 million over two years. The
authors also concluded that
“most of the tax savings” found
in corporate inversions was at-
tributable to this earnings strip-
ping.
The findings of this study were
also confirmed in a 2007 Treasury
study that said that there was
“strong evidence” that inverted
companies were stripping.

At JPMorgan, Mr. Macris led
the London outpost of the chief in-
vestment office, which was sup-
posed to invest money for the
bank and help offset potential
losses in other businesses. But the
unit’s bad bet on credit deriva-
tives in London cost the bank $6.2
billion in 2012.
The trader who helped design
the bet, Bruno Iksil, was nick-
named the London whale because
of the outsize nature of his posi-
tion.
The ensuing scandal engulfed
the bank, which ultimately paid
more than $900 million to resolve
investigations by regulators in the
United States and Britain. The
regulators accused the bank of
misstating its financial results
and lacking sufficient internal
controls, a reputational blow to a
bank that was known for manag-
ing risk.
The episode put a rare spotlight
on JPMorgan’s leader, Jamie Di-
mon, and weakened its standing

Britain would also cede its abil-

To put this more starkly, it
means that not only do inverted
companies often lower their
taxes, they also eliminate large
chunks of the United States taxes
they previously owed. Indeed,
the bulk of the benefits of an
inversion may come not from the
lower foreign tax rate but from
substantially reducing taxes on
the American subsidiary.
We don’t have figures on the
latest inversions to know if they
are engaging in this practice. But
it seems unrealistic to expect
that companies that took the bold
step of renouncing their United
States citizenship to move
abroad would then not also seek

to engage in earnings stripping.
We’ll find out more over the next
few years.
If you are an American taxpay-
er, it means the burden of
making up lost revenue falls
more heavily on you. It also
creates an uneven playing field
for other companies that end up
feeling like fools for staying put.
All in all, it highlights the prob-
lems of the United States tax
code, which shows again and
again how it just does not work
in an increasingly global world.
Still, earnings stripping has
some benefits. The American
subsidiary must do something
with the money it borrows. It
said that the synthetic credit port-
folio began to suffer significant
losses from the beginning of 2012
and that traders were told that
March to make no further trades.
At the time, Mr. Macris asked
for internal daily risk reports on
the portfolio and took a variety of
measures, including requesting
assistance from other parts of JP-
Morgan and arranging daily
progress meetings with traders
and risk managers, the authority
said.
In late March 2012, he attended
a supervision meeting with the
regulator at which the portfolio
was discussed, the F.C.A. said. The
regulator said it was told that the
portfolio had lost $200 million and
that it had experienced rebalanc-
ing problems, but that it was bal-
anced at that time and required no
additional trading.
“Mr. Macris did not provide the
authority information about the
full extent of the difficulties that
the synthetic credit portfolio was
then facing,” the F.C.A. said.
In April 2012, Mr. Macris took
part in a telephone call with the
authority and allowed “an inaccu-
rate impression to be given” that
there had been no changes since
the March meeting with regula-
tors, despite knowing the losses in
the portfolio had grown.
Mr. Macris could have been
Secure Trust, a small, domesti-
cally focused British bank, has lit-
tle to gain commercially from the
European Union’s single market.
The bank’s chief executive, Paul
Lynam, is also unhappy with the
way European regulators inter-
pret international rules. He notes,
for example, that the European
Union requires Secure Trust to
maintain capital reserves — cush-
ions against risk — that he says
are larger than necessary for an
institution like his that mainly
may be that it invests the money
in the United States in research
or plants. But it is hard to see
how this benefit offsets the corro-
sive nature of this tax maneuver.
The Internal Revenue Service
has repeatedly adopted rules to
make inversion transactions
harder, trying to prevent these
companies from leaving in the
first place. Just last month the
I.R.S. proposed yet another set of
tighter regulations that included
making it harder for an inverted
company to relocate to a tax-
friendly jurisdiction.
But these regulations do not
address earnings stripping head
on and they are not going to stop
inversions. There is too much
money at stake. Companies like
Pfizer are still trying to flee the
United States, and they will
continue to find a way to do so as
long as our tax system provides
incentives to go abroad. Only if
Congress acts to update the
modern corporate tax system
will the incentives be eliminated.
And although Congress is quite
aware of this issue on both sides
of the aisle, it is still unlikely to
act until after the presidential
election at the earliest.
There have been legislative
proposals for short-term fixes. In
2004, Congress engaged in its
first attempt to legislatively stop
inversions and limited compa-
nies’ borrowing for earnings
stripping to 50 percent of their
earnings in the United States.
A decade later, the Democratic
senators Chuck Schumer of New
York and Richard J. Durbin of
Illinois proposed that the 50
percent be reduced to 25 percent
and that this limitation apply
only to inverted companies.
The home in London of Achilles Macris, the former JPMorgan
Chase executive who agreed to pay a fine on Tuesday.
fined as much as £1.1 million, but
he was given credit for agreeing to
settle the claims at this stage of
the investigation, the F.C.A. said.
Mr. Macris has separately sued
the authority, saying that he was
improperly identified in the regu-
lator’s notice when it fined JPMor-
gan in 2013. The notice, he said,
“wrongly and unfairly accused me
of deliberately misleading” regu-
lators without offering him a
chance to rebut the claims.
The F.C.A. has challenged his
view in court, but was unsuccess-
ful last year in its appeal of a court
finding in favor of Mr. Macris. The
serves consumers and small busi-
nesses.
Although he believes that a
Brexit would be “made to work,” it
would most likely mean years of
negotiation over the details of
Britain’s new relationship with
the bloc. This process, he said,
would be “messy, costly, disrup-
tive and time-consuming.”
“We need to know what are the
options being offered to us by way
of concessions, relative to the dan-
gers of the leap into the unknown,”
Mr. Lynam said.
He is also concerned about the
backlash among the banks’
customers. Most opinion polls
show that the British public is al-
most evenly split on the Brexit is-
sue.
“If I take a public position I will
upset half my customers — a
quarter of a million customers,”
said Mr. Lynam. “So I won’t be in a
rush to do that.”
Still, some in the City have
openly contemplated a Brexit.
One is Norman Blackwell, a for-
mer adviser to two Conservative
prime minsters, John Major and
Margaret Thatcher, who is now
chairman of Lloyds Banking
Group. Last year, Mr. Blackwell
told the House of Lords — where
he is a member — that Britain’s re-
lationship with the bloc might be-
come “increasingly unsustain-
able.” He noted that his comments
reflected his personal views.
And some hedge fund execu-
tives in the City would just as soon
quit the European Union. Hedge
funds have tended to chafe under
the closer oversight that Euro-

approval for related-party trans-

But that legislative measure
did not go anywhere, leaving the
I.R.S. limited in what it could do.
Still, an influential article by
Stephen Shay, a Harvard law
professor, has argued that the

of debt equity. Under the tax
rules, this would mean that the
payments from the American
subsidiary would now be nonde-

interest payments, ending this
type of earnings stripping. The
I.R.S. has said it was considering
adopting earnings stripping rules
in the near future, and this could
be it.
But for now, rules limiting this
type of behavior seem to be a

stone resigned as executive chair-
man of the company (while also
yielding the executive chairman’s
post at CBS). The Viacom board
named Mr. Dauman his successor.
Yet Mr. Redstone’s daughter,
Shari Redstone, did not support
Mr. Dauman’s appointment, and
other shareholders have voiced
concerns about Mr. Dauman’s
ability to lead the company.
“I don’t think there was any-
thing in his remarks that would
give shareholders confidence that
Viacom is any closer to a turn-
around today than they were yes-
terday or a year ago,” Eric Jack-
son, an activist investor with
SpringOwl Asset Management,
said on Tuesday. “I think the stock
reaction this morning reflects the
same.”
During the call on Tuesday, Mr.
Dauman called Mr. Redstone his
“colleague, mentor and friend”
and thanked him for “his vision,
his guidances and his inspiration.”
He said the two had more than a
30-year history building Mr. Red-
stone’s media empire.
“He and the board of Viacom be-
lieving in my abilities and my
character have entrusted me with
weighty responsibilities, none of
which are inconsistent or incom-
patible,” Mr. Dauman said.
“They know our operational
plans,” he added, referring to
board members. “They endorsed
them, they have confidence in
them and I will repay back that
confidence by producing the re-
sults without shirking our obliga-
tion to make the changes that are
necessary to make Viacom the
leading content company of the
future.”
Mr. Redstone, who Viacom ex-
ecutives said listened to the call
from Los Angeles, continues to
hold about 80 percent of the voting
stock in Viacom and CBS through
his theater chain company, Na-
tional Amusements. Mr. Red-
stone’s stake in National Amuse-
ments is to be held by a trust after
he dies or is found to be
incapacitated, in which case vot-

trustees, including Mr. Dauman

nearly $3.2 billion compared with
the year-earlier period.
Revenue in the company’s me-
dia networks segment, which in-
cludes its TV networks, dipped 3
percent to $2.57 billion because of
declines in advertising sales in the

Negative foreign exchange effects
also affected results.
Domestic advertising sales de-
clined 4 percent, and ratings de-

“The only reason Manuela is

“The fact is that she is one of the

Last week, Mr. Redstone re-
day that Viacom had entered into
a short-term extension with Dish
while it worked out the details of a
long-term renewal.
The company reduced expecta-
tion for growth in affiliate revenue
— the money it receives from ca-
ble, satellite and other digital dis-
tributors — to the “low mid-single-
digit range” after previously stat-
ing that it would be in the high sin-
gle digits. Several factors were re-
sponsible, including the
company’s recent agreement with
AT&T.
Also on Tuesday, Viacom an-
nounced a partnership with
Snapchat, the ephemeral messag-
ing app. As part of the deal, Via-
com has the right to sell
Snapchat’s owned and operated
advertising space in the United
States, expanding the digital of-
ferings it peddles to television ad-
vertisers. The agreement also in-
cludes creating new channels on

and MTV in the United States.
Mr. Dauman said the Snapchat
deal and other similar deals still to
come should help the company re-
vitalize its brands and “move into

will be fewer affiliate fees and ad-
vertising sales from traditional
television, he said.
“We continue to hold the view
that the old business of serving
kids/teens with linear TV net-
works is doomed, and the new
business of serving kids/teens
with on-demand, digitally deliv-
ered entertainment is unlikely to
be won by Viacom,” Mr. Juenger
said in a research note. “We don’t
believe this morning’s Snapchat
deal changes that.”
In Viacom’s filmed entertain-
ment segment, revenue plunged
15 percent to $612 million in the
quarter, with a decline in theatri-
cal and home entertainment sales
offset by an increase in licensing
fees. Worldwide theatrical reve-
nue declined $75 million in the
quarter, largely because of a tough
comparison to the previous year,
when the company benefited from
the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur-
tles.” The results also were af-
fected by the adverse impact of
foreign exchange.
Mr. Dauman has said that
Paramount’s output would in-
crease to a 15-film slate in the cur-
rent fiscal year, including Ben
Stiller’s “Zoolander 2,” “Whiskey
Tango Foxtrot,” starring Tina Fey,
and J.J. Abrams’s “10 Cloverfield
Lane.”
expected revenue forecasts.
Shares of Salesforce, the cloud
software company, have been
caught in the undertow and are
down close to 30 percent this year.
“People are starting to antici-
pate a slowdown in the U.S. econ-
omy and a slowdown in related
technology spending,” said Scott
Kessler, an industry analyst with
S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Still, with consumer spending
and job growth remaining healthy,
the market continues to give spe-
cial consideration to consumer-fo-
cused companies that are making
their numbers.
Facebook shares are down 5
percent this year, much better
than the overall market, while Al-
phabet shares are down 11 percent,
just a little more than the S&P 500.
Then there is Amazon, which
has suffered from outsize expecta-
tions: The company had a strong
holiday season and fourth-quarter
revenue was up 22 percent, but
that was less than Wall Street had
expected, and the stock fell from
record highs.
Netflix also disappointed Wall
Street with American subscriber
growth that was lower than
investors had hoped. The stock is
down about 25 percent this year.
What is not yet clear is how the
decline in public company shares
will affect the herd of tech “uni-
corns,” or private companies
worth more than $1 billion, like the
ride-hailing service Uber. What-
ever the result, it is unlikely to be
good.
“That whole thing that you’re
going to hide out from the volatili-
ty in the public market — this is
where they are going to find out
that’s not true,” said Roger Mc-

US Foods
Plans I.P.O.,
Revving Up
A Slow Year
By MICHAEL J. de la MERCED
In its first six weeks, 2016 has
largely been devoid of big initial
public offerings. But a major food
distributor is planning to change
that.
US Foods disclosed on Tuesday
that it intended to go public, less
than a year after its planned
merger with a rival, Sysco, col-
lapsed because of opposition from
government regulators.
US Foods, which is owned by
the private equity firms Clayton,
Dubilier & Rice and Kohlberg
Kravis Roberts & Company, is the
biggest company to file for an of-
fering so far this year.
The pace of companies entering
the public markets has been slow
in the new year, as economic tur-
bulence has made would-be
debutants wary. Just a handful of
businesses have gone public in
2016, including two small biophar-
maceutical companies.
An initial public offering of US
Foods was presumably not the
first choice of its owners, who
bought the business from the
Dutch supermarket operator
Royal Ahold in 2007 for $7.1 billion.
In late 2013, Clayton Dubilier and
K.K.R. agreed to sell US Foods to
Sysco for $3.5 billion.
But the Federal Trade Commis-
sion sued to block the deal, argu-
ing that combining the country’s
two biggest food distributors
could harm schools, hospitals and
other customers.
Even after Sysco and US Foods
proposed compromises like sell-
ing some divisions, a federal judge
sided with the F.T.C. in believing
that the merger would be bad for
competition.
Private equity firms often tend
to prefer an outright sale of a com-
pany they have acquired instead
of an initial public offering, since
such a move is quick and decisive.
In an initial offering, these firms
must often wait several years to
fully sell their stakes.
Tuesday’s filing listed a $100
million preliminary target to de-
termine the registration fee but
otherwise did not disclose fund-
raising ambitions.
According to the filing, US
Foods has had sales rise modestly
almost every year since 2010. But

revenues in the first three quar-
ters of 2015 were essentially flat
from the previous year, at $17.2 bil-
lion. The company reported a $177
million profit last year, swinging
from a $121 million loss in 2014.
US Foods operates under a sig-

nificant debt load. The company
reported $4.7 billion in total debt
as of Sept. 26, or roughly 6.5 times
its earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization.
The company plans to trade on
the New York Stock Exchange un-
der the ticker symbol USFD.
Other information about the offer-
ing, including which banks will
lead the stock sale, was not dis-
closed.

Entrepreneurs Pull Back
Curtain on Drug Prices
From First Business Page
sharply raising prices on a little-
known drug. “Why isn’t it possi-
ble,” he asked, “to just have a price
where anybody who wants to
know what that price is can go to a
website and see?”
Drug pricing practices have fur-
thermore become a populist issue
on the presidential campaign trail.
And many Americans are strug-
gling with insurance plans that
demand ever higher out-of-pocket
costs.
The spotlight on drug prices
could not come at a better time for
at least two online ventures. One
company, GoodRx, collects drug
prices at pharmacies around the
country and connects consumers
to coupons to help them pay. An-
other, Blink Health, takes the
process a step further by allowing
customers to pay for their drugs
online, then pick up the prescrip-
tion at nearly any pharmacy.
“This is the first time the con-
sumer knows what the price of the
item is before they get to the regis-
ter,” said Geoffrey Chaiken, one of
Blink Health’s founders. “We
cracked the code.”
GoodRx and Blink Health often
quote prices for generic drugs
that are far lower than the prices
that pharmacies typically charge
customers paying out of pocket in-
stead of through insurance. In-
stead, the sites and their apps are
offering customers prices that are
closer to the rate that is typically
available — or even visible — only
to insurers.
Ten of the country’s 15 most
commonly prescribed drugs, for
example, cost less than $10 on
Blink Health, including generic
versions of drugs like Lipitor,
which manages cholesterol, and
the diabetes drug metformin.
The sites cannot help much
with brand-name drugs, which
are made by a single manufactur-
er and carry prices that can be as
high as hundreds of thousands of

In Japan, Bond Yield Slides Below Zero
And Stocks Fall More Than 5 Percent
From First Business Page
cating the effort.
Like savers depositing money
at a local bank, banks keep their
own unused cash at the central
bank. The interest they earn on
those reserves — or do not earn,
as the case may be — helps deter-
mine the cost of other kinds of bor-
rowing and lending.
The Bank of Japan’s new policy
is intended to stimulate the econ-
omy, which narrowly avoided fall-
ing into recession last quarter. By
making it unprofitable for banks
to hold cash, Mr. Kuroda hopes to
encourage them to lend more
freely and get businesses and
households to spend. He also
wants to give a lift to consumer
prices, which have been sagging
after a welcome but short-lived
bout of inflation.
In other countries that have in-
troduced negative interest rates,
like Sweden and Switzerland, gov-
ernment bond yields have also
been pushed below zero.
Masamichi Adachi, a former
central bank official who is now an
analyst at JPMorgan Chase, said
that the reversal in bond yields
was bound to happen eventually,
given the negative interest rate
policy, but it occurred more
quickly than many expected. The
imposition of negative rates on
bank reserves will not even take
effect until next week.
The speed, he said, was because
of a factor that is complicating Mr.
Kuroda’s stimulus program: a
rush by global investors to buy the
yen, which is seen as a safe cur-
rency at a time of economic uncer-

dollars. The purchases also often
do not count toward a consumer’s
insurance deductible, which could
be a problem for seriously ill pa-
tients with high medical costs.
However, nearly 90 percent of
the prescriptions dispensed in the
United States are for generic
drugs, according to IMS Health, a
consulting firm.
Edward A. Kaplan, the national
health practice leader at Segal
Consulting, a benefits consulting
firm, said the prices he surveyed
on Blink Health were comparable
to prices he negotiated on behalf
of large employers. “It’s about as
good as you’d see it,” he said.
Several health care experts and
consumer advocates said the pre-
scription drug market desper-
ately needed more transparency,
which they hoped would lead to
lower costs. While more Ameri-
cans are gaining coverage
through the new health insurance
law, a number of plans are de-
manding that consumers pay for
more of their own drug costs, ei-
ther through higher co-payments
or deductibles, which can add up
to thousands of dollars a year.
In addition, many uninsured
consumers do not know that the
price pharmacies charge them is
far higher than the rate that
insurers pay the pharmacies for
the same drug, health care ex-
perts said. And even insured
customers are not always getting
the best deal. Many people have
insurance plans that require them
to pay a flat rate of $10 or higher
for generic drugs, even though the
rate the insurers pay the phar-
macy is often less.
The listed price for a 30-day
supply of the generic version of
Lipitor, for example, is $196 at
Kmart, according to GoodRx, and
$61 at Kroger. With a coupon ob-
tained through GoodRx, the drug
is about $12. Blink Health is offer-
ing Lipitor for $9.94.
“People should be rioting,” Mr.
Chaiken said, “but it’s just that
tainty. The resulting rise in the
yen’s exchange rate has hurt the
Japanese stock market and
darkened the outlook for inflation,
canceling out much of the efforts
of the Bank of Japan, or B.O.J.
“The China slowdown, falling
oil prices, fears about a U.S. reces-
sion — the headwinds facing the
B.O.J. are very strong,” Mr.
Adachi said.
One goal of negative interest
rates is to redirect investors’
money from bonds into more theo-
retically productive assets like
property and stocks. But in at
least one sector, finance, the pol-

rout. Banks are reluctant to pass
the costs of negative rates on to
depositors, for fear they will pull
their money out of their accounts
en masse. Instead, the banks are
absorbing the penalties them-
selves, cutting into profits.
This week the yen has
strengthened to a little over 114 to
the dollar, about 10 percent strong-
er than its most recent low. That is
bad news for the many Japanese
companies that earn revenues
outside Japan: the stronger the
yen, the less their foreign-cur-
rency earnings contribute to
profits.

He said 10,000 consumers had
used the service since the site
opened five weeks ago, even
though the company has barely
promoted itself. He said he hoped
to have millions of customers by
the end of the year, which he said
would further lower prices using
economies of scale.

business since 2011, gets about
four million visitors a month, said
Doug Hirsch, a founder. “I still
think 99 percent of the world does-

up a price,” he said, noting, “I

potential blow to corporate earn-
ings. It was down a further 0.7 per-
cent in early trading Wednesday
morning.
Easy money from the central
bank had kept the yen relatively
weak since 2013, but a reversal ap-
pears to be gathering pace despite
the central bank’s latest move.
Japan’s status as a haven for
investors can seem puzzling. It is
carrying the heaviest government
debt load in the world, at the
equivalent of about two and a half
years’ economic output. But most
experts are sanguine about the
risks. The debt is still amply
funded by local savings. And
taking the private sector into ac-
count, Japan as a whole is a major
net creditor, not a borrower. That
greatly reduces the risk of insta-
bility.
For now, the bigger danger ap-
pears to be that efforts to get its
economy growing again will stall.
Stimulus by the Bank of Japan has
played an outsize role in Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe’s economic
policy, known as Abenomics. One
concern for government and cen-
tral bank officials is that compa-
nies will resist demands to in-
crease workers’ pay as the strong-
er yen eats into profits. That
would block what the bank and
many economists see as a crucial
means of promoting spending and
inflation.
“Corporate management now
has many excuses for not raising
wages,” Mr. Adachi said. He added
that the Bank of Japan would
likely impose even steeper nega-
tive rates, something Mr. Kuroda
hinted was possible in a policy
speech last week.
“One purpose of the B.O.J.’s
move was to dispel the idea that it
lacks ammunition,” he said.
“Kuroda will continue to try and
surprise the market.”

Energy companies led the de-

crude oil sank nearly 6 percent to
about $28 a barrel.
The market’s bumpy ride fol-
lowed a slide in European stock in-
dexes and steep losses in Japan,
reflecting rising anxiety among
investors that the global economy
is slowing.
“The market continues to price

said Jeffrey A. Carbone, manag-

The Nasdaq composite index lost
14.99 points, or 0.4 percent, to

The latest losses pulled the
three indexes further down for the
year. The Dow is off 8.1 percent,
while the S.&P. 500 is down 9.4 per-
cent. The Nasdaq is off 14.8 per-

Investors have fretted over sev-

price of oil, a slowdown in China
and whether many parts of the
global economy will fall into reces-
sion.
The market veered lower early
on Tuesday after a wave of selling
in Europe and Japan, where the
Nikkei index closed 5.4 percent
lower. The interest rate on Japan’s
benchmark bond also dropped
into negative territory for the first
time.
Major American stock indexes
rebounded early as oil prices
briefly rose, but the rally did not
last. A late-afternoon rebound also
did not hold as oil prices settled

For the Knicks, the Situation Is Normal:
Anthony Is Hurting, and the Team Is Losing
Carmelo Anthony said he was caught by
surprise Monday morning when he learned
that Phil Jackson, the president of the Knicks,
had fired Derek Fisher as the team’s coach.

Anthony spoke Tuesday night be-
fore the Knicks lost, 111-108, to the Washing-
ton Wizards at Madison Square Garden. With
Kurt Rambis making his debut as interim
coach, an even brighter spotlight found Antho-
ny, the longtime face of the franchise. He ad-
dressed his relationship with Jackson.
“You have to continue to put your trust

and Kansas in 1957.

and North Carolina (Duke) did it.
“It’s rare for all of us to all play
the No. 1 team in the country the
same year, let alone beat them,”
Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said.
“A lot of times, the reason you
don’t beat No. 1 is because you
don’t get to play No. 1. In our
league, it’s a possibility. In Iowa
State’s league, it’s a possibility.
It’s harder for Northern Iowa to
have that opportunity.”
Iowa, Iowa State and Northern
Iowa all rely heavily on seniors,
none more than the No. 4 Hawk-
eyes (19-4 over all, 10-1 Big Ten),
who start four. Iowa has won 12 of
13 since the defeat by Iowa State,
losing only at Maryland, and it
overtook the No. 2 Terrapins (21-3,
10-2) for the Big Ten lead with
Sunday’s 77-65 win at Illinois.
Iowa, which last won the Big
Ten in 2006, is led by the dynamic
6-foot-9 forward Jarrod Uthoff,
who ranks third in the Big Ten in
scoring (18.4 points) and first in
blocks (2.9). But McCaffery also
credits a demanding nonconfer-
ence schedule for preparing his
team. McCaffery caught flak for a
76-74 exhibition loss to Augustana
(S.D.), the top-ranked team in Di-
vision II, in early November, but
he says it served a purpose, along
with subsequent games against
Notre Dame, Wichita State, Flor-
ida State and Marquette. Iowa
has seven victories over teams in
the top 50 in the Ratings Percent-
age Index, which should help its
seeding on selection Sunday even
if it fails to win the Big Ten.
“If I feel like we have a good
team and have some experienced
guys, you’ve got to challenge
them in every way possible,”
McCaffery said. “We had four
starters back. I was a little con-
cerned because the guys we had
coming off the bench are all new.
I just felt like the only way we
were going to get that group
ready is to play this kind of
schedule.”
Iowa State, now No. 14 after
ranking as high as No. 2, reached
a university-record four consecu-
tive N.C.A.A. tournaments under
Fred Hoiberg, the revered Ames
product known as the Mayor who
left after last season to coach the
Chicago Bulls. Unwilling to mess
with a winning formula, his suc-
cessor, Steve Prohm, consulted
with Hoiberg extensively last
summer and kept about 80 per-
cent of his sets and plays. Led by
the senior forward Georges
Niang and the junior point guard
Monte Morris, the Cyclones (17-6,

Hip-Hop Moves Add Some Spice to a Floor Routine
By VICTOR MATHER
The floor exercise in gymnas-
tics is all about the tumbling,
right? Sure, in between the runs
the gymnast shows off her bal-
ance or does balletlike moves,
but that’s just a moment for ath-
letes and fans to catch their
breath.
Sophina DeJesus of the
U.C.L.A. gymnastics team may
have upset the floor exercise par-
adigm over the weekend, howev-
er. Her tumbling runs were spot
on, but the moments in between
are the main reason a Facebook
video of her routine has been
shared more than 400,000 times.
DeJesus set aside those nor-
mally staid moments in between
the tumbling to whip, nae nae, hit
the quan and perform other hip-
hop dance steps.
The unexpected moves, com-
bined with the enthusiastic re-
action from fans and DeJesus’s
teammates on Saturday, made
the video a must-watch for hun-
dreds of thousands and brought
an outpouring of positive com-
ments on social media.
“I love dancing,” DeJesus said
of her decision to try the unortho-
dox routine. “I wanted to end my
senior year with a bang.”
She added: “My sister Savan-
nah is an awesome dancer. She
helped me with the choreo and
made it more fun.”
The floor exercise is not even
DeJesus’s best event; she was an
all-American on bars, and she
has made only limited floor ap-
pearances over her U.C.L.A. ca-
reer. Saturday’s performance,
which was widely shared on so-
cial media, was her first floor ex-
ercise of the season.
It was a good day in general for
the U.C.L.A. team, currently
ranked in the top 10 in N.C.A.A.
Division I, as it beat its Pacific-12
rival, No. 7 Utah, by only 0.025 of
a point.
Unsurprisingly, DeJesus, a 21-
year-old sociology major from
Temecula, Calif., has a dance and
acting background. At 12, she
performed on the TV show “Hip
Hop Harry.” “He was like Bar-
ney, but a hip-hop bear,” DeJesus
said. “We’d teach kids about the
importance of drinking water,
and stuff like that.”

the overall No. 1 seed, Kansas. Af-
ter that year’s tournament, he
ran into Roy Williams, the North
Carolina coach and an acquaint-
ance from the recruiting trail, at
the Portsmouth Invitational, the
renowned postseason camp for
draftable seniors.
Williams’s advice, according to
Jacobson: Don’t change jobs pri-
marily for money. Think about
your family and what’s important
GYMNASTICS
DeJesus said, she would throw in
some gymnastics moves.
DeJesus’s score for Saturday’s
routine, a 9.925, tied for third on
her team at the meet, trailing two
excellent — if less popular online
— performances and raising the
question of how much colorful
moves help or hinder scoring
from traditional judges.
Dance moves in the floor exer-
cises are often overlooked. “Com-
mentators mostly talk about tum-
bling because it seems to be more
impressive to an audience and
it’s easier to spot the deductions
in landings, height and form,”
to you. Stick with those, and
Northern Iowa will take care of
you.
Jacobson took the advice and
stayed put. In 2014, Northern
Iowa completed a $1 million reno-
vation of its McLeod Center facil-
ities. And last year the university
extended Jacobson’s contract 10
years, through 2024-25, at an av-
erage salary of $900,000.
“I don’t want to age him, but it
was like talking to my dad, or sit-
ting down and having a conversa-
tion like I’ve done 100 times with
my grandfather,” Jacobson, who
is married with two young sons,
said of Williams. “It stuck with
me, and it’s proved to be exactly
right.”
KATIE MEYERS/U.C.L.A. ATHLETICS
said Samantha Peszek, an Olym-
pic silver medalist and a former
U.C.L.A. teammate of DeJesus’s.
DeJesus’s innovation may not
lead to perfect 10s, but “it is a
subjective sport with human
judges, so it doesn’t hurt,” Peszek
said.
“The great thing about rou-
tines like Sophina’s is that they
bring energy and life not only to
the audience, but the rest of the
team watching,” she added.
Would such crowd-pleasing
moves actually hurt with more
conservative judges? “The only

matic bid to join the Hawkeyes
and the Cyclones in the N.C.A.A.
tournament.
Peterson said Cyclones and
Hawkeyes fans were talking
about a rematch.
“Iowa State is hosting the re-
gional in Des Moines, so they
can’t play there,” Peterson said.
“If Iowa goes to Des Moines and
Iowa State advances, maybe
they’ll meet in the Midwest Re-

Probably not, Peszek said.

The Knicks Get a New Coach, but the Result Stays the Same
By ANDREW KEH
On Tuesday afternoon, the day
after dismissing Coach Derek
Fisher, Phil Jackson logged on to
Twitter and posted a picture of
his iPad screen.
On the de-
WIZARDS 111 vice’s word
processor,
KNICKS 108
Jackson had
typed out a meandering essay in
which he reiterated his coaching
philosophy, explained the con-
cept of self-actualization and elu-
cidated the differences between
“transactional” and “transforma-
tional” leadership styles.
Jackson, the Knicks’ president,
said that he preferred a trans-
formational style, which he said
involved moving an organization
toward what he called a higher
nature. He invited readers to pick
up his book “Eleven Rings: The
Soul of Success.” Such concepts,
Jackson hinted, would inform his
coaching search.
Hours later, Kurt Rambis, the
Knicks’ interim coach, listened
intently as a reporter recounted
Jackson’s words at length. The
room then broke into laughter
when the reporter asked, “Do
you know anything about what
he’s talking about?”
When everyone had quieted

his left knee.
When he met with members of
the news media on Monday, Jack-
son praised Anthony.
“Carmelo’s a leader,” Jackson
said. “We understand that. He’s
on board. He’s going to move for-
ward with this basketball club.
He’s been struggling with an in-
jury. We need to balance all that
out with his playing time, getting
therapy, staying off, practicing,
not practicing.”
At the same time, Jackson
made a couple of curious com-
ments, veering far from the boil-
erplate script. After Jackson said
that a couple of players would be
“off the table for discussion”
ahead of the Feb. 18 trade dead-
line, he was asked whether An-
thony was one of those players.
Jackson prefaced his response
with an uncomfortable pause.
“I think it’s a known fact,” he fi-
nally said, “that Carmelo has a
no-trade clause.”
It was not exactly the same as
saying that Anthony was un-
touchable, that he was an irre-
placeable member of the team.
Also, Anthony could waive the
no-trade clause in his contract,
which runs through the 2018-19
season. On Tuesday, Anthony
said that he remained committed
to the Knicks.
“I done been through worse,
man,” said Anthony, who added
that he still had the now-outsize
goal of guiding the Knicks to the
playoffs. “I don’t think that’s
even a question for me, as far as
the playoffs. My goal every sea-
son is try to get to the playoffs
and try to win a championship.”
Anthony has missed seven
down, Rambis said, “I’ve just got
to be me.”
Once again, the Knicks are en-
gaged in existential self-exami-
nation. The state of the team feels
in flux.
These anxieties were corrob-
orated on the court Tuesday
night at Madison Square Garden,
where the Knicks fell to the
Washington Wizards, 111-108. The
Knicks’ record fell to 23-32 as
they lost their sixth game in a
row and their 10th in 11.
The Knicks, who trailed by 16
points in the first half, fought all
the way back and took a brief
lead in the third quarter.
With 8.5 seconds left in the
game, Langston Galloway sank a
3-pointer to cut the Knicks’ def-
icit to 1 point. On the ensuing in-
bounds play, the Knicks fouled
John Wall (28 points, 17 assists),
and he made both free throws.
Carmelo Anthony was then
fouled and made two free throws
of his own with 5.1 seconds left,
and Wall made two more at the
other end.
Finally, the Knicks, trailing by
3 with no timeouts remaining, in-
bounded the ball with 4.3 seconds
on the clock. The Wizards elected
not to foul them, and Galloway
found himself with a wide-open
PRO BASKETBALL
look from 3-point range. But his
shot clanged off the front of the
rim at the buzzer, and he col-
lapsed forward onto the court in
anguish.
“It felt good, a good look,” Gal-
loway said. “I hit that shot, and
we go into overtime, and we
might be able to salvage a win.
But it’s definitely a tough loss
right there.”
The Knicks will reconvene next
week after the All-Star break and
look for a clean start.
Before the game, Rambis said
he was not trying to forge a new
path for the Knicks, only to get
them back on track.
“At one point in time, we were
headed in the right direction: We
were playing with some energy,
some intensity, and we were
learning,” Rambis said. “We’ve
taken a major step back. So
we’ve got to correct that.”
The Knicks fell behind early,
15-6, forcing Rambis to call a
timeout. Later in the first quarter,
fans began to boo when the
Knicks allowed the Wizards to
cross the entire court with a sin-
gle pass, producing an uncontest-
ed layup for Marcin Gortat.
Fans and players alike will be
curious to see how Rambis man-
ages his rotation. Anthony, who
ABOVE, SETH WENIG/ASSOCIATED PRESS; ERIK S. LESSER/EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY
finished with 33 points and 13 re-
bounds, played 19 minutes 18 sec-
onds in the first half.
Anthony held the ball for the fi-
nal shot of the half, tried to beat
Gortat to the rim and ended up
crashing into a row of photog-
raphers as his shot was rejected.
The Knicks staggered into the
locker room trailing, 63-50.
Slow starts have become a
Knicks trademark this season. So
have late comebacks that ulti-
mately fall short.
Kristaps Porzingis, who fin-
ished with 20 points, led the
Knicks’ charge out of halftime,
scoring 14 points in the third
quarter while displaying his im-
mense toolbox of skills. In quick
succession, he made a rim-shak-
ing dunk, a nifty turnaround
bank shot and a running left-
handed hook. He shot 6 for 8 from
the field in the quarter, and when
it was over, the score was tied at
83-83.
About an hour before the
game, Fisher, who had not made
any public comments since his
dismissal Monday, released a
statement through his Twitter ac-
count. Fisher thanked the team’s
ownership, front office, players,
staff and fans.
“This is a very talented team

games with injuries, and that top-
ic kept surfacing during Jack-
son’s news conference. He noted
how impressed he had been with
the team’s performance in Antho-
ny’s absence — forget the fact
that the Knicks had lost all seven
of those games.
“We played very well without
Carmelo in a number of games
KATHY WILLENS/ASSOCIATED PRESS
with strong character and I am
confident they will succeed,”
Fisher’s statement read. “Obvi-
ously, I’m disappointed, but have
learned an immense amount
from this experience and hope to
grow from it.”
His replacement, Rambis, said
he relished the challenge ahead
of him, noting that the Knicks had
drafted him out of Santa Clara
University in 1980. (He never
played for the team, heading to
Greece before catching on with
the Los Angeles Lakers.)
Rambis, who coached the Lak-
ers as an interim coach in 1999
and the Minnesota Timberwolves
from 2009 to 2011, said it was al-
ways his goal to be a head coach.
He said serving in that role for
the Knicks, at Madison Square
Garden, made it even better.
“From a basketball perspec-
tive, it doesn’t get any better than
that,” Rambis said. “It’s a tre-
mendous challenge. The players
know that. I’d already let them
know that we’ve got to figure out
a way to get in the playoffs.”
They could be setting them-
selves up for disappointment. Be-
fore Tuesday’s game, according
to ESPN, the Knicks had a 0.7
percent chance of making the
postseason.
this year,” Jackson said, “which
made it obvious that the team’s
pretty well-balanced.”
Jackson did say that the Knicks
clearly missed having Anthony
on the court in critical, late-game
situations.
The All-Star Game has become
another thorny issue for Antho-
ny. Last season, even though it
had become obvious that his
balky left knee was causing him
all sorts of problems, he insisted
on playing in the All-Star Game,
which was held at the Garden.
Four days later, he had season-
ending surgery.
In recent weeks, he has dealt
with persistent soreness in the
knee — a residual and expected
side effect of surgery, Anthony
said. Fisher, in one of his final
public appearances as coach,
said last week that tests had re-
vealed no structural damage.
Still, Anthony has been hindered
by injury.
On Monday, Jackson acknowl-
edged that Anthony probably
needed some rest. The problem:
Anthony wants to play in the All-
Star Game, scheduled for Sunday
night in Toronto. Last week, Jack-
son said, he advised Anthony to
limit his activity over the course
of the week — and in the game it-
self.
For now, Anthony said he
wanted to help shepherd his
teammates through this latest
bout of organizational dysfunc-
tion.
“Nobody wants to lose their
coach,” he said. “Especially for
some of the young guys, this is an
experience they have to go
through. So for me, it’s about
keeping those guys intact, in line,
and let them know it happens.
It’s unfortunate.”

N.B.A. ROUNDUP
With 7 Points
In One Trip
Down Court,
Spurs Prevail
By The Associated Press
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 28
points, Kawhi Leonard added 23,
and the San Antonio Spurs got 7
points on one possession in the
fourth quarter to help them beat
the host Miami Heat, 119-101, on
Tuesday night.
Dwyane Wade scored 20
points, shooting 9 for 12, for Mi-
ami, which goes into the All-Star
break on a two-game slide. Chris
Bosh scored 18, and Hassan Whi-
teside added 14 points and 6 re-
bounds before being ejected dur-
ing that pivotal possession in the
fourth.
With the Spurs leading, 87-80,
Patty Mills made a 3-pointer
while being fouled by the Heat’s
Beno Udrih. Mills made the free
throw while Whiteside and
Boban Marjanovic tangled for the
rebound. Whiteside, the Heat’s
center, led with his elbow while
spinning back toward Marjanov-
ic, a Spurs rookie. The flagrant
foul was called, Marjanovic made
one free throw, and Leonard hit a
jumper to complete the posses-
sion and give the Spurs a 94-80
lead to ice the game.
BUCKS 112, CELTICS 111 Khris
Middleton made one of two free
throws with 0.6 of a second left,
and host Milwaukee edged Bos-
ton in an improbable fashion.
Middleton drew a foul on
Avery Bradley to get to the line.
The Celtics had tied the game
when Kelly Olynyk made two
free throws with one second re-
maining.
Greg Monroe had 29 points and
12 rebounds as the Bucks ended a
five-game losing streak. Middle-
ton had 20 points, and Michael
Carter-Williams added 16.
JAZZ 121, MAVERICKS 119 Gor-
don Hayward hit a fadeaway
jumper at the buzzer in overtime,
and Utah extended its season-
best winning streak to seven
games in Dallas.
Rodney Hood finished with 29
points, and Hayward had 20.

The team announced the pun-

Brodeur’s No. 30 Is Raised to Rafters as Devils Honor Three-Time Cup Champion
By DAVE CALDWELL
NEWARK — Lou Lamoriello
was in the front row Tuesday
night for the retirement ceremo-
ny of the No. 30 jersey worn by
the former
DEVILS 2 Devils goal-
OILERS 1 tender Martin
Brodeur. Bro-
deur thought that was fitting be-
cause Lamoriello not only draft-
ed him in 1990, but assigned him
the number.
Lamoriello decided to give No.
30 to Brodeur because, as the
team’s general manager for 28
years, he made pretty much ev-
ery decision for the team. As Bro-
deur remembered, he was thank-
ful for an N.H.L. jersey with any
number on it.
“If he wouldn’t be here, there’d
be something missing,” Brodeur
said as he sat in a lounge at Pru-
dential Center before the cere-
mony, which preceded the Dev-
ils’ 2-1 victory over the Edmon-
ton Oilers.
With current and former play-
ers and Brodeur’s family seated
on the ice, Lamoriello was among
several people, including Com-
missioner Gary Bettman, who
addressed the sellout crowd dur-
ing the one-hour ceremony.
Lamoriello, 73, was serenaded
with “Lou!” by the fans as he
walked to the podium. They
sounded like the boos that greet-
ed Bettman, but Lamoriello drew
a roar when he smiled and said,
“Commissioner, that’s not the
same reaction you got.”
Later, Brodeur saluted Lamo-
riello in a speech, saying, “You
made me a champion.”
Brodeur wore No. 29 for the
first five games of his N.H.L. ca-
Islanders Win Shootout in Columbus; Panthers Top Sabres
By The Associated Press
Cal Clutterbuck scored the win-
ning goal in a shootout, lifting the
Islanders to a 3-2 comeback vic-
tory on the road against the Co-
lumbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday
night.
Frans Nielsen also scored in
the shootout and Jaroslav Halak
stopped three of four attempts by
Columbus. Anders Lee had the
tying goal early in the third peri-
od.
Ryan Strome had a goal in reg-
ulation for the Islanders, who
earned their second win in a row
and avoided their first three-
game road losing streak in two
seasons. The Islanders complet-
ed a four-game season series
sweep of the Blue Jackets.
Alexander Wennerg had Co-
lumbus’s lone shootout goal.
Cam Atkinson and Brandon
Dubinsky each had a goal and an
assist for the Blue Jackets in reg-
ulation. Joonas Korpisalo made a
career-high 44 saves in his eighth
straight start filling in for injured
Sergei Bobrovksy (groin) and
Curtis McElhinney (ankle).
After a scoreless second period
she said.
“I get asked about it a lot,” Mu-
hammad added. “People ask
Muslim women about it — not
just athletes — all the time. Like,
aren’t you hot? On a hot day,
you’d still wear a shirt and pants.
I would not leave the house with-
out it.”
Muhammad will fence in Rio
de Janeiro in the individual and
team saber events. (The team
will be formally announced in
April.)
The fencing team events rotate
in and out of the Olympics; there
reer after the Devils called him
up at the end of the 1991-92 sea-
son because No. 30 had been as-
signed to another rookie goal-
tender, Chad Erickson, who end-
ed up playing only two N.H.L.
games. Brodeur said he lost track
of Erickson, who ended his ca-
reer with Tulsa of the C.H.L. in
2000.
Brodeur played 1,266 regular-
season games and 205 in the
playoffs, winning 691 regular-sea-
son games, 125 by shutout, and
leading the Devils to three Stan-
ley Cups.
A larger-than-life bronze stat-
ue of Brodeur was unveiled Mon-
day. With a smile, Brodeur said
N.H.L. ROUNDUP
and with Columbus holding a 2-1
lead, Lee scored on a power play
at 3 minutes 5 seconds of the
third period. Kyle Okposo sent
the puck down low and Lee
worked a nice forehand-to-back-
hand move before sliding the
puck between Korpisalo’s legs.
The Islanders outshot the Blue
Jackets, 15-5, in the third period.
Korpisalo had to make the tough-
er saves toward the end of reg-
ulation. He kicked aside Mikhail
Grabovski’s backhander with
five minutes left and stopped
Strome from the slot with a
minute to go. The teams traded
chances in an exciting overtime.
Strome opened the scoring just
56 seconds into the first period.
John Tavares won a left-circle
face-off to Strome, who ended a
shot past Korpisalo on the second
shot of the game.
The Dubinsky-Atkinson combi-
nation pushed Columbus ahead
with goals four minutes apart lat-
er in the period.
Atkinson pounded home a re-
bound off a shot by Dubinsky for
his 18th at 7:45. Dubinsky then
made it 2-1, netting a one-timer

was no team event for women’s

to the Americans, who had won
the bronze medal in the event at
the world championships in 2011
with Muhammad on the team.
Olympic rules permitted a maxi-
mum of two Americans in the in-
dividual event, leaving Muham-
mad out.
The Americans have continued
to shine in women’s saber in the
years since and have now won

he thought the statue was terrific
because, like Yankees fans meet-
ing at the big bat outside the old
Stadium, Devils fans could meet
at what he called the Marty stat-
ue before home games.
The 43-year-old Brodeur, who
has seen pretty much everything
in hockey, later said: “The whole
weekend has been surreal a little
bit. I’m in a little bit of a daze.”
For now, Brodeur, the assistant
general manager of the St. Louis
Blues, is following in the foot-
steps of Lamoriello, who stepped
down as the Devils’ general man-
ager last May 4, but decided less
than three months later to take
the same position with the Toron-
past Halak — who finished with
29 saves — after Atkinson won a
puck battle creating an odd-man
break that Dubinsky finished
with his 12th.
PANTHERS 7, SABRES 4 Defense-
man Alex Petrovic scored in the
opening minute of the second pe-
riod to cap Florida’s four-goal
opening surge, and the Panthers
coasted past host Buffalo.
Reilly Smith scored twice, in-
cluding an empty-netter, and
added an assist. Petrovic, Jussi
Jokinen and Brian Campbell had
a goal and assist apiece for the
Atlantic Division leaders.
The rookie Sam Reinhart
scored two second-period power-
play goals for Buffalo. Evander
Kane and Mike Weber scored
goals in the final 10 minutes of the
third period.
Jaromir Jagr and Brandon Pir-
ri also scored in helping Florida
improve to 6-1-1 in its past eight.

to Maple Leafs.
On Tuesday, Lamoriello swung
a nine-player trade between the
Leafs, in next-to-last place in the
Eastern Conference, and the Ot-
tawa Senators. Brodeur joked
that Lamoriello was trying to
show him up on his special day.
He might not have become one of
the game’s best goaltenders with-
out Lamoriello providing him
with a defense-first system.
Brodeur became the fourth
Devils player to have a banner
with his sweater number hoisted
to the arena rafters, following
three defensemen: Scott Stevens
(No. 4, retired in 2006), Ken
Daneyko (No. 3, also in 2006) and
scorers in a rout of the Bruins.
Marian Gaborik added a goal
and an assist for Los Angeles,
which had lost four of six. Dough-
ty also had an assist.
Jeff Carter, Andy Andreoff,
Dwight King, Trevor Lewis, Luke
Schenn and Dustin Brown also
scored for the Kings, who chased
Boston’s starting goalie, Tuukka
Rask, during the second period
on the way to setting a season
high for goals. Los Angeles also
had a season-best 57 shots on net.
DUCKS 4, FLYERS 1 Rickard
Rakell had two goals and Chris
Stewart and Andrew Cogliano
also scored to lead visiting Ana-
heim over Philadelphia.
Anaheim improved to 14-4-1
since Christmas while getting the
victory in the second game of a
seven-game trip that will cover
7,300 miles in 13 days.
Wayne Simmonds scored for
the Flyers, who dropped their
third straight over all and fifth in
the last six home games, further
damaging their playoff hopes.
Philadelphia began the day 5
points out of a playoff spot, but
behind five teams.

Muhammad was among the
prominent American Muslims in-
vited to a round-table discussion
with the president before his
speech.
The subject was “the varying
concerns that people have within
the Muslim community, like Is-
lamophobia, mass incarceration,
anti-Muslim rhetoric,” Muham-
mad said. “I talked about my ex-
periences as a minority member
of Team U.S.A.”
Muhammad is glad her mother
noticed the fencers in the cafete-
ria that day.
Martin Brodeur with family members as the banner with his
No. 30 Devils jersey was retired during a ceremony on Tuesday
night at Prudential Center. “I’m in a little bit of a daze,” he said.
Scott Niedermayer (No. 27, 2011).
It was Lamoriello who assem-
bled the draft-day deal in June
2013 that brought goaltender
Cory Schneider (Brodeur’s heir
apparent) from Vancouver, and
Lamoriello who allowed Brodeur
to leave when he became a free
agent a year later.
But Brodeur said the two still
talk all the time. Brodeur said he
was sent recently by Blues Gen-
eral Manager Doug Armstrong to
a game in Sunrise, Fla. The Flor-
ida Panthers happened to be
playing the Leafs. Brodeur and
Lamoriello chatted for more than
an hour.
Brodeur said it is far too early
to know if he wants to pursue a
career in management. He said,
“Right now, I don’t know enough
to say I know exactly what to do.”
This week, Brodeur has simply

enjoyed being the center of atten-
tion, again. Asked about the
speech he would give, Brodeur
said, “I was thinking what I could
surprise them with, and I came
up with nothing.”
It was a shutout of a new kind
for the goaltender who became
synonymous with No. 30. He said
his friends still refer to him as
“Thirty” or “Number 30” some-
times, and even though he start-
ed as No. 29, he was glad to end
as No. 30 in seven games last
year with the Blues.
“I was glad when I went to St.
Louis and No. 30 was available
there, too,” Brodeur said, chuck-
ling. “I think that would have
thrown me a big curveball.”
After the ceremony, Brodeur
admitted, “It was probably the
first time I was nervous on that
ice.”

A Headlong
Immersion
Into Italian
Jhumpa Lahiri is one of literature’s
linguistic nomads. Born in London to
Indian immigrants, her first language
was Bengali. She learned English
while young (she was raised in Rhode
Island) and in it has

tive works of fiction,

Maladies” (1999), for

er Prize.
“In Other Words” is Ms. Lahiri’s
first nonfiction book. It’s a slim mem-
oir that examines her long sense of
lexical displacement. Bravely, it does
so from an outpost of further exile. She
has written it in a third and only re-
cently mastered language, Italian, and
has had it ren-

way home.
Learning to read and write in Italian
has clearly been an invigorating expe-
rience for Ms. Lahiri; she speaks of it
as one speaks of an intense sexual
affair. “When you’re in love, you want
to live forever,” she writes. “You want
the emotion, the excitement you feel to
last. Reading in Italian arouses a simi-
lar longing in me. I don’t want to die,
because my death would mean the end
of my discovery of the language. Be-
cause every day there will be a new
word to learn. Thus true love can
represent eternity.”

If the setup was that people were obsessed with
Ms. Bee being the lone female host in late-night (or,
at 10:30 p.m. Eastern, almost-late-night) TV, the
punch line was that she was glad to embrace the role
and to be fearsome in it. There was no uptalking or
shy self-deprecation; she swaggered forward in the
title sequence, to the grind of “Boys Wanna Be Her”
by Peaches. It was go time.
The 2016 presidential campaign has yet to produce
a distinctive comedy voice, but Ms. Bee made a bold
early case that it could be hers. She took the stage
standing — no desk for her — and moved into a
caustic, basic-cable profanity-laced set on the presi-

The Science
And Craft
Of Mixology
In Music
By ALEC M. PRIESTER
Mike Silver, the musician known as
CFCF, was shaken awake by his girl-
friend in December to receive surprising
news: He had been nominated for a
Grammy. Specifically, he was up for best
remixed recording, for his version of
Max Richter’s violin composition “Berlin
by Overnight,” performed by Daniel
Hope on his album “Spheres.” “Basically
everyone knew before I did, and I was
flabbergasted,” Mr. Silver said.
His surprise is understandable. Mr.
Silver, a Canadian musician who has
fewer than 4,000 Twitter followers, isn’t a
household name. He records subdued,
idiosyncratic electronic music that
eludes easy description. The other no-
minees in the category had all put their
spin on towering pop and dance tracks,
from Bruno Mars’s “Uptown Funk” to
Galantis’s “Runaway (You & I).” In con-
trast, “Berlin by Overnight” is restrained
and atmospheric, with one muted kick
drum threaded through a swirl of
chopped-up violin and balmy electric pi-
ano chords.
Since it was first awarded in 1998, best
remixed recording has tracked consis-
tently with popular dance music. The
first winner was the Chicago house pio-
neer Frankie Knuckles. In 2003, it was
the D.J. Roger Sanchez, for his remix of
No Doubt’s “Hella Good.” Justice won in
2009 for its remix of MGMT’s single
“Electric Feel,” and last year Tiesto took
the trophy for his remix of John Legend’s
ballad “All of Me.”
The award reflects the cultural mo-
ment, and as dance music has shifted
from dark clubs to massive outdoor festi-
vals, the type of nominee has changed.
So why honor a tricky, undanceable re-
mix of a violin composition now?
Best remixed recording is one of the
“craft categories” designated by the Na-
tional Academy of Recording Arts and
Sciences. Bill Freimuth, a senior vice
president at the Recording Academy,
said these awards include work that falls
outside songwriting and performance —
everything from engineering to package
design — and are adjudicated based on a
separate system.
Generally, members of the academy
submit entries, which are whittled down
“He’s the most interesting mess we
have this year,” Carl says to Alan Hoff-
man (Robert Sean Leonard, doing his
best with a contradictory part), Jim’s
English teacher. Alan, who has an affin-
ity for sensitive youths, tells Jim:
“You’re strong, maybe too damn strong.
You’re an extraordinary person.”
Carl’s wife, Louise (Annika Boras),
remarks of Jim in admiration, “He’s
using poetry like a ladder to climb out
of some terrible place.” And even Jim’s
roommate, Austin (David Potters), has
to admit that the guy is deep.
Such approbation is taxed by Jim’s
renegade behavior, which includes
serial theft, drinking, lying and beating
up younger schoolmates. He also has
an abrasive way of making it clear to
his elders that they are always letting
him down. Carl has no right to teach
him religion, he says, “when I’ve never

through a series of ballot votes to the top
15 in a category; then a nominations re-
view committee selects the five final no-
minees. Mr. Freimuth said that member-
ship numbers vary over time, but the
academy consistently has between 11,000
and 13,000 voting members who must be
“creatively involved” in music in roles
like performing or producing.
To sit on a craft committee, a member
must have demonstrated expertise in the
category. So a group of Mr. Silver’s peers
voted “Berlin by Overnight” into the top
five. “What they’re listening for on this
committee is innovation,” Mr. Freimuth
said. “They just really loved what CFCF
did with this.”
Mr. Silver didn’t seek out “Berlin by
Overnight” on his own. “Deutsche Gram-
mophon approached me because they
were putting together a remix package
around it,” he said referring to the Ger-
man classical music label founded in
1898. It originally appeared on Mr.
Richter’s album “24 Postcards in Full
Colour.” The tracks on that record, all un-
der three minutes long, were intended to
be ringtones.
seen your soul.”
The adult characters are given prob-
lems and secrets of their own, with
which Mr. Shanley deals rather per-
functorily and inconsistently, as if shar-
ing Jim’s impatience with them. And
the supporting cast members, while
perfectly fine, don’t find many sur-
prises in their roles.
The more subtle probing of mixed
motives and shaky certainty that char-
acterizes Mr. Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize-
winning “Doubt” is seldom in evidence.
In “Prodigal Son,” the main function of
the other characters is as a hall of mir-
rors to Jim’s astonishing self.
That particular self brings to mind
the literature-besotted college-bound
hero of Eugene O’Neill’s “Ah, Wilder-
ness!” crossed with the terminally
misunderstood title character played by
James Dean in the ultimate angry
Remixing “Berlin by Overnight”
posed unusual challenges. Mr. Silver
said he added percussion, but wanted the
remix to be somewhat abstract and ac-
centuate the percussive parts of the vio-
lin playing. “There’s a lot of hand move-
ment and a lot of squeaking of strings
and little sounds of the bow, so I EQ’d it so
a lot of the kind of accidental sounds be-
came more in the forefront,” he said of
the mixing process.
Mr. Silver’s own records are stun-
ningly variegated. He writes minimalist
piano and keyboard compositions, ambi-
ent soundscapes and dance and elec-
tronic tracks. His influences are both es-
oteric (the Durutti Column, the Blue
Nile, the Japanese composer Seigen
Ono, Indonesian gamelan) and familiar
(Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Windham Hill
Records). Unlike most popular remixes,
his are not designed to add danceability
and bombast, but arranged to coax out
emotional qualities that were sub-
merged in the original recording.

Brothers and Daft Punk, Mr. Silver be-

The reedy Mr. Chalamet, who has
appeared on television in “Homeland”
and in films including “Interstellar,”
never seems physically menacing. But
otherwise, he fills a tall order of a char-
acter with enough easy charisma to
confirm his status as a rising star.
He is delightful when Jim pronounces
the names of other people that he
would like to have as his own: Rafael
Sabatini (author of the swashbuckling
“Scaramouche”), the poet Siegfried
Sassoon or the gunman Elfego Baca.
Savoring the grandeur of such no-
menclature, Mr. Chalamet’s Jim grows
into a fleeting, flamboyant assurance.
Otherwise, he’s flailing. “The only
way I know anything about what I am
is what I see in other people’s eyes,” he
says. Jim is a character in search of an
author to explain him to himself.
Strangely enough, the man that Jim
would become seemingly has yet to
achieve the distance to make this strug-
gling artist-in-the-making worthy of a
play of his own.
A Grammy category born
of the electronic age.
“The Colours of Life,” was conceived
as an exercise in making tracks flow into
one another, unified by an uncommon set
of instrument sounds.
“A lot of it comes from samples from a
Fairlight CMI, which is one of the first
sample-based synthesizers, used on a lot
of Peter Gabriel and Prince, a ton of stuff
from the early to mid-’80s,” he said. The
pan flutes, choral pads and melodic per-
cussion intentionally evoke rain forests
and the ocean. “Partly the goal was to
make something that would essentially
be reminiscent of hold music. It’s like
what in Japan they call BGM, it’s back-
ground music,” he said.
On “Radiance and Submission,” Mr.
Silver said he was exploring an organic
approach in the vein of Pat Metheny’s
performances of Steve Reich, in which “a
lot of different guitar melodies or har-
monies were being played at the same
time.”
His newest recording, “On Vacation,”
will be released on Feb. 19 by Interna-
tional Feel. Many of its tracks were
originally intended for a project he had
envisioned inspired by the German di-
rector Wim Wenders’s treatment of the
American West in “Paris, Texas,” and the
Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski’s
synthesis of American film and Euro-
pean romanticism in “Three Colors:
Red.” The songs are both breezy and cin-
ematic, featuring saxophone, accordion,
fretless bass, breathy synth pads and
chimes; baroque arrangements stitched
together by elegant melodies.
Mr. Silver’s coming recording is like-
wise not aimed at the club crowd.
“The theme that I’m going toward is
something involving the electronic mu-
sic and alternative music from the late
’90s,” he said, citing the Smashing Pump-
kins, Goldie, late-’90s David Bowie and

diversity in the mix in the future.”

Brash Radio Duo Rev Up for Reunion

By VINCENT M. MALLOZZI
Sports comebacks have always
made for great theater, but next
month at Radio City Music Hall, a
great theater will make for a
rather unusual sports comeback.
Mike Francesa and Christopher
Russo, former sports-talk radio
partners who ruled the format for
nearly 20 years on WFAN in New
York before parting for solo ca-
reers in 2008, are reuniting to host
a live-broadcast one-night per-
formance on March 30.
The event sold out within 24
hours after tickets went on sale in
December. “The idea that we sold
out nearly 6,000 seats in such an
incredibly famous venue is over-
whelming,” said Mr. Francesa, sit-
ting with Mr. Russo, better known
as Mad Dog, at a recent Rangers
game at Madison Square Garden.
“There has always been a very
large reaction to everything that
Dog and I have done, and there’s
always been a clamor for us to get
back together,” said Mr. Francesa,
who has hosted his own show on
WFAN since the breakup and is
known to many of his fans as the
Sports Pope for his brash, know-it-
all-style. “People like the idea of
reunions, especially if it involves
entertainers who have influenced
their lives.”
The “Mike and the Mad Dog Re-
union Show” will benefit the Gar-
den of Dreams Foundation, which
coordinates events to grant the
wishes of New York-area children
facing obstacles. That it sold out
quickly indicates that Tony from
Queens, Larry from Brooklyn and
a legion of other surname-less
fans still had Mr. Francesa and Mr.
Russo on speed dial.
Always eager to add their two
cents to a sports conversation,
those callers contributed to the
debating, ranting, venting, joking,
analyzing and predicting radio-
fest that helped make “Mike and
the Mad Dog” a cultural phenom-
enon. The show turned Mr.
Francesa and Mr. Russo into ce-
lebrities who sometimes seemed
as well known as many of the ath-
letes they were covering.
“Right up until the time they
went off the air, Mike and Chris
were first in our demographic of
males, ages 25 to 54, and that’s
what made their breakup so
heartbreaking,” said Mark Cher-
noff, vice president for program-
ming at WFAN and CBS Radio in
New York. At their peak —
thought to be from the late 1990s
through 2000, the year the Mets
met the Yankees in the World Se-
ries — the pair’s weekly cumula-
tive audience was two million, he
said. “They set the tone and
Returning for the

brought sports-talk radio to a
whole new level,” he said. “So
many other duos began emulating
them.”
But very few talk hosts have
come close, including Mr.
Francesa and Mr. Russo after
their split.
“Since we broke up, neither of
us has been able to find a replace-
ment for the other— what does
that tell you?” said Mr. Russo, who
now hosts “Mad Dog Sports Ra-
dio” on Sirius XM.
“It tells me that we had a once-
in-a-lifetime chemistry.”
That rapport was evident when
the two met before the Rangers
game to discuss a potential format
for the reunion, which will be
broadcast live on MSG Plus televi-
sion and on WFAN and Sirius XM.
Mr. Russo, wearing a grin that
widened with each step he took to-
ward Mr. Francesa, began fulmi-
nating before he was close enough
to say hello: “Hey Michael, I don’t
know about you, but I thought that
Panthers-Cardinals playoff game
really stunk,” Mad Dog barked, re-
ferring to the N.F.C. Champi-
onship face-off on Jan. 24. “What a
waste of time.”
They were soon discussing
their reunion with Barry Watkins,
executive vice president for ad-
ministration and communications
at the Madison Square Garden
Company, which owns the Knicks,
Rangers and Liberty, as well as
Radio City Music Hall and the
Beacon Theater. Mr. Watkins is
also chairman of the Garden of
Dreams Foundation, MSG’s chari-
table arm. ESPN, the radio broad-
caster of Knicks and Rangers
games, signed off on the reunion
show even though its rivals —
MSG and WFAN — would be car-
rying it. That earned a big thank
you from Mr. Watkins. “It was an
amazing gesture,” he said.
Mr. Francesa hinted at what the
audience might hear on March 30.
“We’re going to morph back
into our old selves and do the stuff
that made our show great and
kept us on top all of those years,”
he said. “When people go to see a
favorite group perform, they don’t
want to hear anything new, they
want to hear the greatest hits.”
At one point in their meeting,
Mr. Russo, whose contract with
Sirius XM expires in August,
raised the subject of getting back
together on a regular basis with
Mr. Francesa, whose contract ex-
pires at the end of 2017: “Hey Mi-
chael, is this reunion show a final
farewell to Mike and the Mad Dog,
or the start of our resurgence to-
gether?”
Mr. Francesa put his old partner
on hold.
“You know me better than any-
one, Dog,” he said. “I always keep
my options open.”

An Artist Who Drew Deeply on His Heritage

By RODERICK CONWAY MORRIS
CHICHESTER, England — The
British artist, poet and critic Da-
vid Jones was something of a
prodigy. In 1909, at the age of 14, he
won a place at Camberwell
College of Arts and Crafts in Lon-
don, where his first teacher held
his work up as an example to older
students, saying, “Look at that,
you see, Jones leaves everything
out except the magic.”
His art, especially his
watercolors, continued to win him
acclaim as he grew older. In 1936,
the critic Kenneth Clark, then di-
rector of the National Gallery in
London, wrote that Jones was “in
many ways the most gifted of all
the young British painters.”
The next year, Jones’s first sig-
nificant foray into verse, the long
poem “In Parenthesis,” inspired
by his experiences as an infantry-
PERFORMANCES BEGIN TONIGHT!
man in World War I, was de-
scribed by T. S. Eliot as “a work of
genius.”
Yet his choice of genres worked
against his long-term popularity.
He wrote few short poems suit-
able for anthologies. And most of
his painted works are
watercolors, which are too deli-
cate for permanent display, and
their subtle colors make them dif-
ficult to reproduce.
The centenary of World War I
brought renewed interest in
Jones’s poetry. Now, an exhibition,
“David Jones: Vision and Memo-
ry,” offers a stimulating ret-
rospective of his paintings, draw-
ings, engravings and calligraphic
works. Curated by Paul Hills, who
knew Jones during his last years
before his death in 1974, and
Ariane Bankes, the show is at Pal-
lant House Gallery here until Feb.
21 and then at the University of
Nottingham’s Djanogly Gallery
from March 12 to June 5.
Jones was born on the edge of
southeast London to a Welsh-
speaking printer father and a
mother of English and Italian de-
scent. “From about the age of 6,”
the artist later recalled, “I felt I be-
longed to my father’s people and
their land.” But he also drew
deeply on his English and Italian
heritages, as the artworks
throughout this exhibition reveal.
From his childhood, Jones was
enthralled by Arthurian and Celtic
legends, and his knowledge of
English literature expanded dur-
ing his time at Camberwell, where
the subject was required. The rare
self-portrait “Human Being” that
opens the first of the exhibition’s
five sections, though painted in
1931, is of a slightly shambolic
youth, yet seems surprisingly
true to life, to judge by a photo-
graph of the artist taken four
years earlier.
Also on display is Jones’s por-
trait of the sculptor Eric Gill,
Testament patriarch a shipbuild-
ing blueprint with diagrams and,
at the foot of the sheet, a ruled
scale (in cubits, no doubt).
In 1924, the Gills and their en-
tourage moved to a former mon-
astery, Capel-y-ffin, in South
Wales, giving Jones the opportu-
nity to return to what was for him
the dream-bright land of his
forefathers. Here, his interest in
landscape began to blossom, as he
set about doing watercolors and
gouaches of the Black Mountains.
He also made regular painting
trips to the Benedictine monas-
tery on Caldy Island. Some of the
finest of these works — “Hill Pas-
tures, Capel-y-ffin,” “Tenby From
Caldy Island” and “Surf,” from
1926-29 — are on display.
An excursion to southwest
France in the spring of 1928 en-
abled Jones to extend his horizons
and palette into more exotic, sun-
lit pastures, giving rise to images
like “Roman Lands,” “Montes et
Omnes Colles” (whose title comes

him from making a memorable
image of the town that recalls El
Greco’s backdrops of Toledo.
In 1928, he began writing “In Pa-
renthesis,” based on his years on
the Western Front with the Royal
Welch Fusiliers. His painting
continued unabated, as his travels
took him to the Gills’ new home at
Pigotts Farm in Bucking-
hamshire; to Northumberland; to
his parents’ seaside house at Port-
slade, near Brighton; and to
Wales.
“The folk tradition of the insular
Celts seems to present to the mind
a half-aquatic world,” he later
wrote. “It introduces a feeling of
transparency and interpenetra-
tion of one element with another,
of transposition and metamorpho-

hardly be found of some of his pic-
tures in this period, with their

ecstatic experience for you and
me. It’s a soft, repetitive, self-
dramatic and self-hobbled book,
packed with watercolor observa-
tions like: “There is pain in ev-
ery joy. In every violent passion
a dark side.” That someone gets
a lot out of writing something
does not necessarily mean any-
one else will get a similar
amount from reading that thing.
If only literature worked that
way.
This book, which is presented
in a dual-language format (Ital-
ian on the left-hand pages, Eng-
lish on the right), chronicles a
long obsession. Ms. Lahiri first
traveled to Italy in 1994, as a
college student. She returned
frequently over the years, often

The author Jhumpa Lahiri.
on trips to promote her books.
She began to study Italian and,
living in Brooklyn, hired a series
of language tutors. Eventually
she moved with her husband and
children to Rome for what she
calls a “trial by fire.” She stopped
reading and speaking in English
almost entirely; she also stopped
writing in it. She achieved near-
total immersion.
“In Other Words” is an account
of this process, and there are
vivid things in it. Ms. Lahiri
captures how, for example, the
sounds other cultures make can
tweak our synapses and linger in
the mind.
“From the start my relation-
ship with Italy is as auditory as it
is visual,” she writes about an
early trip to Florence. “Although
there aren’t many cars, the city is
humming. I’m aware of a sound
that I like, of conversations,
phrases, words that I hear wher-
language and achieved a brilliant
sort of estrangement. Ms. Lahiri,
writing in Italian, at this point
seems only a lesser version of
herself, a full orchestra reduced
to tentative woodwinds.
Ms. Lahiri is humbly aware
that she has turned homework
exercises loose on the world. “I
know that my writing in Italian is
something premature, reckless,
always approximate,” she says.
She poses a question that has
already formed in the reader’s
mind: “What does it mean, for a
writer, to write without her own
authority?”
It can mean many things. In
the case of “In Other Words” it
means that Ms. Lahiri delivers
sentences she never would in her
mostly sure-footed fiction, clichés
teased out at great length. Here
she is, for example, on time’s
passage:
“The journey of every individ-
ual, every country, every histori-
cal epoch, of the entire universe
and all it contains, is nothing but
a series of changes, at times
subtle, at times deep, without
which we would stand still.” This
belongs in a book of anti-quota-
tions.
The author’s writing about
Venice is the windiest since the
lesser moments in Erica Jong’s
novel “Serenissima” (1987). Ms.
Lahiri writes about this city: “Its
devastating beauty pierces me,
I’m overwhelmed by the fragility
of life. I’m enveloped in a pas-
sionate dream that always seems
about to dissolve.”

Late Night
Gets a Shot
Of Fierce
Feminism
From First Arts Page
tone, and Ms. Bee’s was fiery and
fierce — the acid delivery, cut
with a touch of Canadian syrup,
she honed as a correspondent on
“The Daily Show.”
There were some jabs at
Democrats — Bernie Sanders
was old, “Hermione Clinton” was
ambitious — but she saved her
sharpest jibes for the Republi-
cans, whose most recent debate,
she said, “was a cascade of fail.”
Donald J. Trump was “an
oddly tinted compilation of psy-
chiatric symptoms” and a “sen-
tient ‘caps lock’ button.” And
Marco Rubio’s assertion that
Hillary Clinton supported abor-
tion until a pregnant woman’s
due date was “the stupidest thing
I’ve ever heard.” Mr. Rubio, Ms.
Bee joked, was implying that
Mrs. Clinton wanted to deliver
babies “directly into a Vitamix so
that Planned Parenthood can sell
it to Whole Foods.”
The political topics in the first
“Full Frontal” might have been
on any late-night show. But Ms.
Bee’s feminist perspective
showed in the angles that she
took — a reel of past election
moments included Barack
Obama in a 2008 debate, telling
Mrs. Clinton she was “likable
enough” — and in the stories she
highlighted, like a Kansas state
senator who established a dress
code for women testifying before
his committee.
Would another late-night show
have made these points? Sure,
maybe, eventually. On “Full
Frontal,” though, “eventually”
was now.
Ms. Bee’s first half-hour was
fast-paced and tightly packed. It
wisely dispensed with in-studio
interviews, instead featuring a
field segment — this week, a
TBS
Samantha Bee, taking on
Senator Ted Cruz and the rest
of the presidential field.
Werner Herzog-like documenta-
ry on Jeb Bush’s New Hampshire
campaign, styled as an ex-
istential tragedy of ennui. (Asked
“If Jeb were a drink, what drink
would he be?” a supporter an-
swered, “Milk.”)
“Full Frontal” is TV’s latest
answer to the multiple-choice
question: Who, if anyone, will be
the next Jon Stewart? Ms. Bee is
one of many “Daily Show”
alumni on the nighttime circuit:
Stephen Colbert on CBS, John
Oliver on HBO, Trevor Noah and
Larry Wilmore on Comedy Cen-
tral. (Even Seth Meyers, with his
“A Closer Look” desk segments
on NBC’s “Late Night,” is doing a
version of “Daily Show” deep
dives into the news, by way of
his old “Saturday Night Live”
Weekend Update segments.)
Yet although you would think
the 2016 election should be a
slam-dunk for these comics, it’s
been more like a jump ball.
They’ve seemed especially
stumped about how to turn Mr.
Trump into memorable humor.
Late-night comedy is trained to
spoof conventional, self-serious
campaigns. How do you parody
someone who brags that he could
“shoot somebody” but not lose
votes? When reality makes the
jokes, all comics can do is supply
a rimshot.
Ms. Bee might have room to
stand out in a few ways. A
weekly show — like Mr. Oliver’s
“Last Week Tonight,” which
returns from hiatus on Sunday —
could free her from chasing the
24-hour news cycle. And for a
female comic in the boys’ club,
the Democratic campaign, with
its controversies over gender
double standards and Bernie
Bros, could practically count as
stealth marketing.
At 46, Ms. Bee is also genera-
tionally between the many mil-
lennial women who support Mr.
Sanders and second-wave femi-
nists like Gloria Steinem, who
are urging solidarity with Mrs.
Clinton. Ms. Bee referred to that
divide, too, imagining Mrs. Clin-
ton telling young women to “en-
joy the breast-pump rooms and
maiden names that I won them
with my pain.”
There’s another woman jump-
ing into this fray. But if the first
episode of “Full Frontal” is any
indication, Samantha Bee won’t
be feeling the pain, she’ll be
bringing it.

Gloria Madison and Richard Wright in the 1951 Argentine film “Native Son,” an adaptation of Wright’s novel. At the time, the movie was not warmly received.
‘Native Son’ On Screen and Without the 1951 Censorship
From First Arts Page
Bigger waking up in the heatless
apartment he shares with his
mother, brother and sister, and
smashing a rat with a skillet —
brutality is his condition. Bigger
subsequently gets a job driving
for a family of wealthy white liber-
als (as well as slumlords), but,
trapped by events in their daugh-
ter Mary’s bedroom, accidentally
smothers her to death.
The narrative is essentially the
same in both the American and in-
ternational versions of the film, al-
though, before its domestic re-
lease in 1951, censors in New York,
Ohio, Illinois and elsewhere
stripped the movie of its
continuous, casual racial slurs.
References to left-wing politics,
already muted, were eliminated;
statements about white American
“race hatred” were cut. The ex-
cruciating sequence in which Big-
ger is compelled to escort Mary
and her Communist lover to a
black nightclub and is subjected to
their demeaning, if well-inten-
tioned, intimacies, was truncated.
Bigger’s murder trial and his con-
versations with his lawyer were
shortened; depictions of police vi-
olence and a white lynch mob
were expunged.
Playing
Defense
For O.J.
On TV
By JEN CHANEY
David Schwimmer and O. J.
Simpson were moving in oppo-
site directions in 1994, with the
actor growing famous as part of
a new hit sitcom, “Friends,” as
the former football star’s life fell
apart on national television.
Now Mr. Schwimmer is revis-
iting the era on FX’s “The People
v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime
Story,” playing Robert Kar-
dashian, a close friend of Mr.
Simpson — and part of his
“dream team” defense — who
died in 2003 and is better known
as the father of Kim, Khloe,
Kourtney and Robert and ex-
husband of Kris Jenner.
Tuesday’s episode presents
the infamous white Bronco
chase from multiple perspec-
tives, including Mr. Kardashi-
an’s. Mr. Schwimmer recently
chatted by telephone about
having followed the trial while
“Friends” was becoming a phe-
nomenon and how his work on
the FX docudrama has broad-
ened his understanding of a case
that, more than 20 years later,
still stirs strong emotion. These
are excerpts from the conversa-
tion.
Q. Did you know immediately
that you wanted to do this se-
ries?
A. I had to think it through, to be
honest. The first thing I needed
to really be reassured about was
THE NEW YORK TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2016
Wright’s novel, written while he
was still an active member of the
Communist Party, was
philosophical tract with tabloid
immediacy; published in March
1940, the book was both a best
seller and, as the Trinidadian cul-
tural critic C. L. R. James, a mem-
ber of an opposing Marxist fac-
tion, then put it, “a political event.”
It was also, then as now, contro-
versial — experienced by some
critics as liberating and by others
as abusive.
“Native Son” became a theatri-
cal event as well, staged on Broad-
way by Orson Welles in March
1941, with Canada Lee as Bigger.
Hollywood was intrigued,
Wright would later say, with the
stipulation that Bigger be recast
as a white character. After World
War II, the Italian Neo-Realist Ro-
berto Rossellini flirted with adapt-
ing the novel; the French director
Marcel Carné and the writer
Jacques Prévert, both of “Chil-
dren of Paradise,” also expressed
interest.
Not until 1949, when Wright was
living in Paris, was a solid offer
made. It came from a Uruguayan
producer, Jaime Pradès, and the
director Pierre Chenal, who like
Carné, was an exponent of “poetic
realism,” including a 1935 adapta-
David Schwimmer, left, and John Travolta in the FX series “The People v. O.J. Simpson.”
just the tone. I just didn’t want it
to be sensationalized because I
was very aware that there are
real victims involved, and I just
wanted it to be handled respect-
fully.
Q. When you were preparing to
play Robert Kardashian, you had
a long conversation with Kris
Jenner. What did you take away
from that conversation?
A. She talked about what a man
of faith he was and how he had a
very strong and personal rela-
tionship to God that influenced
every decision he made. When I
heard that, I suddenly was look-
ing at him in a very different
light. For me, it started to answer
the questions I was having about
tion of Dostoyevsky’s “Crime and
Punishment.” Chenal, as a Belgian
a Jew, had been driven into exile
with the German occupation of
France. By then Canada Lee was
unavailable; Chenal suggested
that Wright play Bigger.

stock shots of Chicago, the movie
had a largely American cast, in-
cluding the former showgirl Jean
Wallace as Mary and Gloria Madi-
son, a University of Chicago stu-
dent, as Bessie. A feature about
the making of the film in The
Times reported that “an entire
block of slums, supposed to be in
Chicago,” had been constructed in
a Buenos Aires suburb, and that
the movie’s budget was “five
times the cost of the usual Argen-
tine film.”
“Native Son” would suffer far
more censorship than the usual

the choices he had made in terms
of taking part in the trial and his
loyalty.
Q. Episode 2 opens with a scene
that shows Robert praying for
O. J. Simpson in his bathroom.
Was that based on something
that actually happened?
A. That scene wasn’t in there
until we started talking about it.
We were filming in the Kardashi-
ans’ actual house. Ryan Murphy
[an executive producer] came
upstairs at one point to talk to
me about the next scene, and he
found me going over lines in the
bathroom. And he said, “Oh my
God, look at this bathroom.” I
said, “I know, right?” He said,
“We have to shoot in here.” He
American film. The movie opened
in June 1951, six weeks after the
much-protested execution of
Willie McGee, a black man from
Mississippi convicted of raping a
white woman. Before its Ameri-
can release, “Native Son” was
“banned or significantly cut by ev-
ery state to which it applied for a
license,” said Ellen C. Scott, a Uni-
versity of California, Los Angeles,
professor who has extensively re-
searched the movie’s reception.
Wright took responsibility for
the film. “I wrote the dialogue. The
producers and director gave me
carte blanche in whatever con-
cerned my role as actor,” he told a
Norwegian journalist in 1950. “If
the film is bad, it’s all my fault.”
His words were prophetic. In
his pioneering history of African-
American film stereotypes, Don-
ald Bogle called Wright the
movie’s “greatest liability”: The
“successful and sophisticated” au-
thor was “thoroughly implausible
in the role of a tortured deprived
youth.” Yet, in the context of the
film as made, this incongruity em-
phasizes the existential horror of
Bigger’s life.
Although Wright’s delivery is
forceful and his looks camera-
friendly, he can’t avoid seeming
inauthentic in a T-shirt and base-

was just inspired by that fantas-
tic bathroom and the idea that
this is possibly where Robert sat
and prayed.
Q. How closely did you pay atten-
tion to the trial and everything
that happened afterward? It was
hard to not pay attention on
some level.
A. Especially living in L.A. It was
unavoidable. I mean the irony is
that was also exactly when we
started the series “Friends.” So I
was having this huge break, my
first real big break as an actor,
professionally, creatively. It was
a huge high that we were all on,
as a cast. It was euphoric to find
such a great writing team and
cast and this show that people

ball cap, playing a man half his
age. (Bigger is 20 in the novel; the
movie gives him five additional
years. It doesn’t help.) At the
same time, Wright’s mature com-
portment pushes the movie to-
ward psychodrama.
Chenal’s visually adroit direc-
tion allows for a few expressionis-
tic passages, including a full-
blown dream sequence, but
Wright’s presence gives “Native
Son” an avant-garde quality.
Where film artists like Maya
Deren and Kenneth Anger en-
acted their fantasies on camera,
Wright lives (or relives) a night-
mare. Like a Brechtian performer,
the author is quoting his lines. The
effect is usefully alienating as well
as didactic. It is one thing to see an
actor playing the part of a bewil-
dered ghetto street kid; it is an-
other to watch a celebrated writer
assume the role.
When Wright enacts subservi-
ence in relation to whites or ex-
presses terror before the police,
his humiliation is shocking — as is
the fearful rage he dramatizes in
the killing of Bessie. The novel is
the portrait of a boy for whom the
world is a prison; the movie is a
documentary of that boy im-
prisoned in a grown man’s black
body.
seemed to be responding to. So
on the one hand, I was trying to
really enjoy and focus on the
work and be as good as possible
in this new opportunity. And of
course on the other hand, I
wanted to stay connected to the
real world.
There were times when we
would all huddle in Courteney’s
[Courteney Cox’s] room —
Courteney seemed to follow the
trial the most of all of us — and
we would all pile into her room
and watch, when we had a little
break from filming or rehearsals.
Q. The Kardashian name means
something different now than it
did in the mid-1990s. When the
audience watches the scenes
that involve Robert or his kids,
there’s a subtext to it. How much
do you think about all of that?
A. I think you have to be aware,
O.K., well, people are going to be
receiving this in a way that is
rather difficult to predict. So let’s
be careful and judicious. And I
think the producers really were.
Q. Has your perspective changed
regarding the case?
A. My opinion of the verdict
being right or not, or his inno-

cence, has not changed. But I
sure learned a hell of a lot in this
process. I really had no idea at
the time how much politics and
gender discrimination and class
and, frankly, hubris played a part
in the outcome of the trial.

Q. You said it hasn’t changed
your mind about the opinion of
the verdict. Can you share what
that opinion is?
A. No. I mean, I would after the
whole series finishes. I just don’t
want to influence viewers one
way or another in terms of when
they’re watching Robert, you
know what I mean? Knowing
what I really think: I don’t want
it to get in the way.

There are two words that make me die in-
side: seasonal and local.
Invoked like a mantra on menus, healthy
living listicles and grocery displays, they’re
well intentioned but have come to represent
eating vegetables as a lifestyle statement
rather than something you do because
they’re delicious. These two words slam the
door on people who don’t have access to lo-
cal produce or who want to enjoy a lime in
Bison Is Back, Stirring Up Talk
Old-school ranchers and
younger counterparts debate
how to treat the animals.
By KIM SEVERSON
ATLANTA — Ted Turner’s office above the bi-
son restaurant here that bears his name is
stuffed with trophies, both earned and ac-
quired. The America’s Cup he won in 1977
sits on a pedestal in the conference room.
The Oscar for “Gone With the Wind,” which
he picked up when he bought the MGM film
library, is on the coffee table.
Mr. Turner just rounded the corner on 77.
The billionaire they used to call the Mouth
of the South is a much quieter version of
himself these days, thinking less about the
24-hour news cycle he invented and more
about his 1.9 million acres of ranch land and
what he did to nudge bison — of which he
owns more than anyone else on the planet
— onto the American plate.
“I used to satisfy people’s hunger for
knowledge — now, I satisfy their hunger for
food,” he said as he headed downstairs with
a reporter and a small entourage to work
through several cuts of bison at Ted’s Mon-
tana Grill. Although he said he eats plenty of
bison, he opted for tortilla chicken soup and
a small salad.
Mr. Turner, a deep lover of nature since

their gin and tonic in February.
This is not the time to be slamming doors.
According to the Agriculture Department,
52 percent of the vegetables Americans eat
are tomatoes and potatoes, mostly in the
form of French fries, potato chips, ketchup
and tomato sauce on pizza. We eat about
half of the daily recommended allowance of
fruits and vegetables, according to govern-
ment estimates. My restaurant, Dirt Candy,
has been serving nothing but vegetables

since 2008, but no matter how many articles
I see about this being the Era of the Vegeta-
ble, most of the people I’ve met in the fine
dining world who actually care about
vegetables are journalists and their editors
looking for fresh headlines.
People will embrace vegetables if they’re
fun and inclusive, not complicated and ex-
clusive. Make broccoli as craveable as fried
chicken, and you’re on your way. And to
make vegetables fun, you must remove the
angst surrounding them, largely embodied
in those two words: seasonal and local.
For the most part, your local grocery is

childhood, bought his first few bison in the
1970s but didn’t touch a bite for a decade.
“They were like my pets,” he said. “I would-
n’t want to eat my dog, either.”
At the time, there were maybe 30,000
American bison left in the world. (Buffalo is
more of a nickname that came from early
French explorers who called the animals
“les boeufs.”)
When he started on his quest to bring bi-
son back, the meat showed up mostly as
supper on private ranches or as a gimmick

in game-centric restaurants that did not
care if they were selling rattlesnake or yak.
By the 1990s, his interest had driven
prices up, and dozens of other ranchers had
joined him. Then a mix of market conditions
and bad weather contributed to a crash. Bi-
son meat began piling up in freezers, and
ranchers went bankrupt.
P r e s s R e a d e r. c o m
So Mr. Turner came upon a concept that
Alice Waters and her Slow Food followers
understand well. To save something special
like the American bison, you have to eat it.
He opened his first Ted’s Montana Grill in
Columbus, Ohio, in 2002 with George Mc-
Kerrow Jr., the Atlanta restaurateur who
founded the LongHorn Steakhouse.

A Personal Touch for Valentine’s Day

Preparing a citrus salad,
scallops, sweet potatoes, bok
choy and a chocolate dessert.
THE VELVETY red hearts. The single long-
stemmed rose.
I fear I will reveal myself to be a true
Valentine’s curmudgeon, but there’s some-
thing kind of maudlin about it all, down to
the dutiful line at the corner florist. And who
really wants to go out for dinner in a restau-
rant on Valentine’s Day? Not me. A sea of
two-tops in a dining room has as much ap-
peal for me as the senior prom.
You could do something truly special for
your sweetheart: Stay home and make a
meal, even if you’re a rusty cook. That
you’re cooking at all makes an impression.
It can be deeply personal. Knowing your
valentine’s tastes will guide you in the com-
position of the menu, whether it is beans

There’s no need to panic. In the
Valentine’s situation I prescribe, the cook is
never frazzled or overworked. It’s perfectly
relaxed, a menu that is very straightfor-
ward but tastes luxurious, with clean, clear
and bright flavors. It doesn’t cost an arm
and a leg or leave an unwieldy mess. Simply
put, it’s simple to make.
Jump right in with an opulent yet elemen-
tal citrus salad. Because late winter is the
time when all citrus fruits are at their best,
it’s a good choice. The salad is as colorful as
it is uncomplicated to prepare, with bright
slices of blood orange, cara cara orange and
ruby red grapefruit surrounding crisp
leaves of Belgian endive. A spoonful of vin-
aigrette made with good fruity olive oil and
some of the fruits’ juices finishes the salad,
along with a few grains of crunchy sea salt.
The mingled flavors are beyond refreshing.

I chose sea scallops for the main course
for a few reasons, their glamorous reputa-
tion notwithstanding. The flavor of freshly
harvested cold-water sea scallops is ex-
traordinary. And they’re not difficult to cook

A Cool Breeze for Dessert
The minty filling and chocolate
coating atop cocoa-laced
shortbread go beyond candy.
WE ARE A family of mint lovers, from the
herbs on the deck to the tea in the cabinet to
an entire drawer full of Altoids and Tic Tacs.
Given this predilection, it makes perfect
sense that homemade peppermint patties
are an entrenched part of my candy-making
repertoire.
They are actually a cinch to do. The white
creamy filling is mostly confectioners’ sug-
ar — similar to buttercream frosting but
with a higher percentage of sugar to butter,
and spiked with a heady dose of peppermint
extract.
Once the filling is mixed, you roll it out be-
tween pieces of parchment paper, then cut
round patties. It does take time to dip the
creamy patties in melted chocolate to coat
them, but it’s not so much difficult as it is
slow going.
As good as classic peppermint patties
are, the basic recipe lends itself to variation.
In this version, I plop the minty filling and
chocolate coating on top of cocoa-laced
shortbread. You end up with something
that’s a little more like a dessert and less
strictly candyish, with a divine textural con-
trast from the crumbly, buttery, ever-so-
slightly salty cookie crust.
To get the most deeply flavored bars, you
do need to use excellent extra-bittersweet
chocolate that’s at least 60 percent cocoa
solids (and preferably closer to 70 percent).
The extra cocoa solids mitigate the
chocolate’s sweetness, which offsets the
sugar overload from the peppermint cream.
Each mouthful is delightfully balanced. And
because these bars are less cloying than
commercial peppermint patties, I can eat
more of them before my teeth start to ache
— an added bonus.
Another ingredient tip: Take care to use a
natural peppermint extract here. Anything
artificial tastes vaguely of chemicals. And
although purists may be tempted to experi-
ment with infusing fresh mint leaves into
the cream, I’ve found the flavor to be herbal
rather than cooling, without that familiar,
icy sharpness of high-quality peppermint
extract.
Like regular peppermint patties, these
bars keep well, so you can bake them up to a
week ahead. They also freeze perfectly, and
are in fact just as good eaten while still
frozen. It is a nice change of pace should you
be the kind of person who keeps a stash of
mini peppermint patties in the freezer, say,
hidden behind the suet.
Not that I can relate to that kind of behav-
ior one bit.

Setting the Mood
For Romance
Meaghan Dorman
creates bars with a
special lure for couples.
By ROBERT SIMONSON
The Raines Law Room, a well-up-
holstered, low-lit underground
speakeasy in the Flatiron district,
seems engineered for intimacy.
Cushioned alcoves can be
shielded from prying eyes by
floor-to-ceiling curtains. Call but-
tons, a common fixture in taverns
a century ago, are at every booth
and table, allowing a guest to sum-
mon service without breaking the
mood.
Then there’s the wallpaper: Up
close, its frilly squiggles reveal
themselves to be silhouetted cou-
ples in various states of coitus.
Patrons may be getting some
ideas from that wallpaper. On any
given night, Raines is filled with
couples locking eyes over cock-
tails. The same is true, to a lesser
extent, at the second Raines in
Midtown, at Dear Irving in Gram-
ercy and at the Bennett, newly
opened in TriBeCa.
All four bars, decorated in
dreamy fashion by the Belgian in-
terior designer Delphine Mauroit,
are the work of the partners Yves
Jadot, Alberto Benenati and
Meaghan Dorman, who as bar di-
rector sets the tone.
Some New York cocktail bars
boast of having the most cutting-
edge drinks list; others, the most
extensive selection of spirits. Ms.
Dorman’s are arguably the city’s
most romantic.
“Every time I go to these bars,
there’s always people on dates,”
said Joseph Sherinsky, a regular
at the original Raines Law Room
since it opened in 2009.
Tom Richter, a bartender at
Dear Irving, said: “They’re totally
romantic. Very couple oriented.”
Ms. Dorman, 34, who is less
keen to pigeonhole the appeal of
her bars, chose the word “in-
timate” but added, “All of them are
places where you come with

whom you intended to come.”
She also allowed that her bars
“have a good track record.” People
have proposed there. Other cou-
ples have dropped by after a pro-
posal is accepted, or gone on to
marry after a first date there.
Brad and Margot, regulars at
both Raines and Lantern’s Keep —
a Midtown hotel bar where Ms.
Dorman worked as a consultant —
are two of those fortunates. In
2011, after becoming engaged,
they retired to Lantern’s Keep for
Champagne and cocktails and
closed the place down.
“The bars all do have that simi-
lar, inviting feel,” said Brad, who
did not want give his last name, to
protect the couple’s privacy. Ms.
Dorman, he added, “is very fo-
cused on making sure everyone is
having a good time.”
Ms. Dorman can be found at one
of her bars on most nights. She is
easy to spot. She has alabaster
skin set off by a red bob, and is
usually wearing a dress. Unlike
many cocktail bartenders today,
she is not ostentatious. Rather,
she is something like a colleague’s
recent description of a Bloody
Mary recipe Ms. Dorman was try-
ing to nail down: “perfectly bal-
anced, understated and elegant.”
(The description didn’t please Ms.
Dorman. Nobody wants an under-
stated Bloody Mary.)
Almost by stealth, Ms. Dorman
has swiftly amassed a cocktail-bar
empire as big as any in New York.
She grew up in Branford, Conn.,
and after several years of beer-
slinging there, became head bar-
tender at the Raines Law Room
not long after it opened.
For years, that was the only
place you would find her, aside
from Lantern’s Keep, which still
bears her elegant stamp. Then, in
2013, she and her partners opened
Dear Irving, where each of four
rooms evokes a different era: the
reign of Louis XVI and Marie An-
toinette, the Victorian period, the
Jazz Age and the “Mad Men”
years. The other two bars followed
quickly.
Most mixologists would trum-
pet such achievements from the
bar top. That’s not Ms. Dorman’s
style.
“My dad, his whole model is,
‘Put your head down and do your
work,’ ” she said. “When I got a job
at a sports bar in 1999, I didn’t
think, ‘One day I’m going to get to
go to Peru because I’m doing this.’
My focus has always been on the
bars and being there. I’m very of
the opinion that it’s your regulars
and your neighborhood that keep
you in business. It’s nice to be rec-
ognized, but I’m very conscious of
who’s actually coming in.”
The amorous aura of Ms. Dor-
man’s bars has even worked its
magic on her. She met her beau,
Frank Mazzarella, a director at
Bank of America, at Lantern’s
Keep. On the Bennett’s cocktail
menu is a drink named in his hon-
or: Frank of America, a strong,
stirred rye drink.
“I had the idea for the drink
there before we started dating,”
Ms. Dorman said, “but I never
made anything worthy of the
name until this most recent at-
tempt.”
Romantic, right?
WINES OF THE TIMES ERIC ASIMOV
No Longer Hiding in the Hills
Valtellinas from Lombardy
are experiencing a rebirth.
WAY UP in the foothills of the Alps, about as
far north as you can go in the Lombardy re-
gion of Italy without hitting Switzerland, a
series of terraced vineyards hugs the hill-
sides overlooking the river Adda. With the
majestic snowcapped massif to the north,
the narrow river valley to the south and
centuries-old castles crowning hilltops for
good measure, this wine zone, Valtellina, is
strikingly beautiful.
For years, the wines, made almost en-
tirely of the nebbiolo grape, were little
known in the United States and, indeed, in
the rest of Italy. Most of the production went
to Switzerland, which naturally has a taste
for good Alpine wine.
Perhaps this was as it should have been.

Under the B.Q.E., Peru Beckons
Llama Inn in Williamsburg
offers a welcome experience.
A WEDGE OF LIGHT burns in the night on one
of Williamsburg’s less picturesque intersec-
tions, just below the dark rumble of the
Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Down the
block is an old-school Brooklyn-Italian din-
ing room serving linguine, veal parm and
clams casino. All around, there’s hipster
bait: fried chicken, pedigreed pizza, cans of
Narragansett, tacos from a truck in a bar’s
backyard.
Behind the windows on this triangular
lot, the Llama Inn is something different.
There are skewered beef hearts under a
red mash of salsa that rattles with the heat
of rocoto peppers.
Bites of goat neck, thickly seared and
braised until tender, are dark under a glaze
that gets its mouthwatering tang from
chicha, a beer brewed from Andean corn.
Together with a fresh cilantro sauce, it
makes the goat so compulsively good that
we were all clamoring for the last forkful.
Chilly and firm pieces of fluke ceviche,
starting to go opaque in the acid of a smoky
dashi, are wonderful to eat with soft bits of
fried sweet plantain and crisp chips of green
plantain.
Ripe persimmon flesh and strips of raw
sea bream under frizzled yuzu threads sit in
an instant marinade. The liquid is pale or-
ange, tart, a little fruity, spicy at the edges
and generally delicious. You pick up a spoon
reflexively to slurp the sauce, even if you
don’t know this is the way Peruvians eat
tiradito.
What’s been happening inside Llama Inn
since it opened in November is not just dif-
ferent but very welcome. A careful kitchen
is interpreting the cuisine of Peru, whose
vast catalog of ingredients and wild juxta-
positions of influences have not been espe-
cially well displayed in New York, beyond a
few ceviches and a lot of roast chicken.
Llama Inn does both, with excellent raw
materials, a free hand and a conviction that
all of this should be fun. The restaurant’s
logo, a debonair llama dressed in black tie,
sets the tone.
The heart of the dining room, which is un-
cluttered and geometric in a loosely mid-
century way, is occupied by a bar island. In-
side it, bartenders mix drinks that are
worth starting with and often sticking with.
A kind of sangria made with pisco and
kept on tap made me smile three times:
when I saw three frozen grapes on a tooth-
pick serving as a garnish, when I tasted the
cloves and cinnamon in the red wine, and
when I asked for the drink by name: the
Llama Del Rey. The cocktail called El Chapo
combines tequila and vermouth in case you
want to know why they’re not combined
more often. But the tall, icy, honey- and gin-
ger-flavored Matador Swizzle has to be the
nicest thing that’s happened to amontillado
in this part of Brooklyn.
It and a good number of other sherries
are served by the glass, well chilled. “Our
Peruvian clientele likes it that way,” my

Poké Reaches the Shores of Manhattan
A raw fish salad from Hawaii
is finding a home in New York.
IN THE LATE 1990S, the only place in New
York City where I could find Hawaiian-style
poké (poh-kay) was a fishmonger, now
shuttered, on the Upper West Side.
The guy behind the counter had a girl-
friend who worked the Continental Airlines
route from Newark to Honolulu. This
blessed woman, whose name I never
learned, brought back inamona, a paste
made from the roasted, crushed hearts of
kukui nuts, and poké mix: careful propor-
tions of alaea salt (stained red by volcanic
clay), dried limu (seaweed native to the is-
lands) and chile.
A tip of the ingredients over cubes of raw
ahi, and time for the flavors to relax into
each other: This was all that was required.
The fishmonger offered the poké in plastic
tubs, without ceremony, just as I had always
known it in Honolulu, where I grew up and
where some of the best poké is sold at a liq-
uor store, Tamura’s.
Then, a few years back, poké started ap-
pearing on stray restaurant menus, some-
times identified as Hawaiian crudo or cevi-
che. (In Hawaiian, poké means “to cut
crosswise in pieces.”) Now, almost all at
once, Manhattan is home to three restau-
rants devoted to poké, in addition to a chef
dealing poké out of a coffee shop that dou-
bles as a karaoke bar.
The first to open, in October, was Sons of
Thunder in Murray Hill. It is also the best.
The fish (ahi or salmon) is beautifully
fresh and well cut, in hunks large enough to
give a sense of plushness on the tongue.
These may arrive under a gloss of shoyu
(Japanese soy sauce) and sesame oil, with
tracks of alaea salt and hijiki (seaweed),
subtle and as essential as ligatures. Or a
chile aioli whose slow-burn heat hums in the
mouth without igniting it.
Elsewhere in town, poké is typically
heaped on a stark bed of rice. Here, each
bowl ($7.50 to $10.75) is a terrarium of
mesclun greens and seaweed salad, offset-
ting the richness of the fish, with a humbler
cushion of rice half-hidden below. Else-
where, I also found the white rice too
clumpy, the brown rice too dry; at Sons of
Thunder, both are commendably fluffy. Ex-
tras like crispy shards of garlic or a tinsel of
nori add textural interest, but you don’t
need them.
There is tako (octopus) poké, too, tender
with just a touch of chewiness, as well as

server said when he caught me warming
the glass in my palms to help the flavors un-
coil.
Past some low-lying booths and ban-
quettes is a long counter behind which the
16 items on the menu are prepared. The
chef, Erik Ramirez, worked at Eleven Madi-
son Park before running the kitchen at
Raymi in Manhattan. His parents took him
on trips from New Jersey, where he grew
up, to Lima, where they had. But as an adult,
he fell out of touch with Peruvian food. He
had been cooking professionally for several
years when an employer suggested it was
time to pull up his memories of ceviche.
Sometimes Mr. Ramirez borrows an in-
gredient or two from Peru. For his surpris-
ingly good beet and goat cheese salad, he
takes a minty herb called muña and tart yel-
low gooseberries, native to the Andes.
The most unusual thing about the fluffy
drift of quinoa tossed with avocado, bacon,
cashews and caramelized bananas is that

ad that isn’t depressing. It’s actually kind of

versions made with tofu or golden beets,
which I thought sacrilegious until I tasted
them. I still do not understand the miracle.
Then again, James Kim, who shares du-
ties in the kitchen with his younger brother,
John, was once a pastor. (The restaurant’s
name comes from the troublemaker apos-
tles James and John, whom Jesus called
“sons of thunder.”) The Kims are from
Queens but have roots in Hawaii; their
grandparents emigrated there from South
Korea.
The surfboard on the wall is James’s, on
leave from Lido Beach on Long Island. In
the back is a dining room with a pretty sky-
light and little adornment beyond two large
prints by the surf photographer Brian Biel-
mann, of tow-in boats at Teahupoo, in Tahiti,
one of the world’s great breaks, and of tiny
riders in a long peel of blue.
Pokéworks, which opened in January
near Herald Square, is the first of a planned
chain. (Another outlet is set to open in
March in Mountain View, Calif., not far from
Google headquarters.) The Manhattan lo-
cation follows the assembly-line model,
which occasionally results in skewed ratios,
like an overdose of alaea salt in an other-
wise appealing bowl of ahi with rust-red
frills of ogo (seaweed).
The menu ($10.50 to $12.95) is divided be-
tween house-composed “signature works”
and a vertiginous list of build-it-yourself op-
tions, not all self-explanatory. This may ex-
acerbate the discouraging line, which at
peak lunch hour coils inside the narrow
space and tumbles outside, almost rivaling

Mr. Ramirez starts selling it in smaller por-

Llama Inn’s chicken is another symptom of
the sickness plaguing restaurant menus un-
der the heading “large format.” Sized and
priced for more than one person, large-for-
mat dishes attract eyeballs online and in the
flesh.
They can look cynical, though, when they
could be scaled down to smaller, cheaper
portions as easily as Llama Inn’s chicken or
its take on lomo saltado. This jumble of
onions, tomatoes, cilantro, French fries and
thick, soy-marinated beef tenderloin slices
makes a voluptuously good taco when
pinched inside a thin, crisp-edge scallion
crepe. But it’s sold in a regal $48 platter that
takes two or three people to handle.
The simplest dessert is hard to argue
with, three hot bracelets of fried dough
called picarones soaked in a raw-sugar syr-
up. My server lobbied for a different one

Bison Is Back, Stirring Up Talk

CONTINUED FROM PAGE D1
After some stumbles (the company had
to close nine of its 57 outlets in 2010), Mr.
Turner’s restaurant business is back on a
path of expansion, and so is bison. The aver-
age American eats about 55 pounds of beef
a year, while per capita bison consumption
barely adds up to a couple of burgers. But a
side of bison can bring in twice as much
money as beef these days, and processors
say they can’t keep up with demand.
At Whole Foods, ground bison is a tiny
but fast-growing segment that commands a
handsome $10.99 a pound. Strip steaks sell
for $25.99 a pound. Sam’s Club and main-
stream supermarkets offer bison in the
form of steaks, hot dogs and ground chuck.
Bison burgers are almost as common as
chicken wings at pubs in California and Col-
orado.
Bison also is picking up new fans among
high-end chefs, bone broth enthusiasts and
the paleo crowd, as well as less dogmatic
eaters who prefer meat with a healthier pro-
file and a more environmentally sound back
story. Bison is leaner than chicken or fish
and, if it is raised on grass, has a significant
amount of omega-3 fatty acids.
This emerging school of eaters is creating
something of a generational range war. On
one side are Mr. Turner’s brand of old-
school ranchers who finish their bison on
grain and slaughter them like conventional
cattle. On the other are people looking for
America’s original red meat, raised as wild
as possible and slaughtered as humanely as
possible. They see bison as a special protein
source unto itself that should be raised as

“These are the same people who are say-
ing, ‘Where is my coconut water?’” said
Sean Lenihan, a marketing expert and
CrossFit aficionado from Los Angeles who
has turned his attention from selling elec-
tric cars and Beats headphones to grass-fed
bison, which he said is “bulletproof in its au-
thority and its health profile.”
His brand, the Honest Bison, sells meat
online and to the millennial-friendly meat
snack maker Epic Provisions. Two former
vegans from Austin, Tex., Taylor Collins and
Katie Forrest, started Epic in 2013 with a
grass-fed meat and fruit bar. In January,
they sold it to General Mills in a deal re-
ported to be worth about $100 million.
Their bison and bacon bar, which was in-
spired by a bison-bacon burger they ate in a
small town in Texas, sells almost as well as a
category of Kind bars. The company’s bison
jerky made OK magazine’s December
“What’s Hot” list, on the same page with dry
shampoo from the Olsen twins.
“Bison is this iconic beautiful symbol of
Americana that represents strength and
power,” Ms. Forrest said. And her company
is not interested in buying bison that have
been fed grain.
“It seems like a shortcut,” she said. “We
don’t want animals from ranches using a
feedlot model.”
They are not the first to catch the bison
bar wave. The early adopter was the Tanka
bison and cranberry bar, created about a
decade ago on the Pine Ridge Reservation
of the Lakota Sioux. It’s now sold at natural
food stores and Whole Foods around the
country.
Even Patagonia, the clothing company, is
getting in on bison. The company’s motiva-
tion is largely environmental. Last fall it in-

Ranch in South Dakota. Ms.
O’Brien prepared the dish of

“We want people to taste the purity and
the sweetness,” he said. “We want to high-
light its preciousness.”
Trying to look at bison as a substitute for
beef is a mistake, he said. It’s like trying to
make rabbit perform like chicken.
“They are similar but at the same time
very, very different,” he said.
Not everyone sees bison within that
frame. Recently in Denver, where the theme
of the annual meeting of the bison associa-
tion was “Bet on Bison,” Mr. Turner was
honored, and tomahawk bison rib-eyes
were served. They came from Bob Dineen’s
Rocky Mountain Natural Meats, a company
that processes 200,000 pounds of bison a
year, almost all of it finished on grain and
processed like beef.
Bison, Mr. Dineen said, will never be-
come a commodity. The people who raise
them don’t want it and the numbers are just
too small. “There is no chance we are going
to turn them into meat wagons,” he said.
“They’re bison. We haven’t really messed
with them like we have cattle.”
Still, to keep up with demand and provide
a consistent supply of uniform bison meat
for the shoppers at Publix or Kroger, some
herd management and supplemental feed-
ing are essential.
“There’s a lot of criticism of large-animal
agriculture from people who don’t know

Ranch,” chronicled his effort to convert his
land from beef to bison.
His animals eat only what grows on his
land and are slaughtered there, too. Last
year, he killed and processed about 800 an-
imals, some of which were from his own
herd and others from animals owned by
nearby Native Americans and celebrity
ranchers.
Some of the meat goes to his processing
plant in Rapid City and is turned into sau-
because the supply is so small.
“The only way to get those numbers is to
perpetualize the industrialization of buffalo,
which would ruin the romance,” he said.
Mr. O’Brien would love to see Mr. Turner
abandon the feedlot model. “He is the one
guy who could change it,” he said.
For the record, Mr. Turner has no inten-
tion of changing. And bison shows no sign of
overtaking beef. There are about 90 million
cattle in the United States, and only about
500,000 bison, according to the Department

Deliciously Out of Season
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D1
not selling local produce. Don’t panic. Eat-
ing local is great, and it’s wonderful to sup-
port your local farmers, but I think you do
that by creating demand for vegetables
rather than by location-shaming shoppers.
Worried about how your groceries affect
your carbon footprint? Me too, but I don’t
have the money to move. No matter what
time of year it is, if you live outside of
Florida or Southern California, every single
lemon, orange or nectarine you’ve ever eat-
en in your entire life has probably taken an
airplane trip to your mouth. Want a local
lime? Move to Mexico. Do you like olive oil?
That’s mostly coming from Spain (via Italy)
on ships. How about broccoli in the dead of
winter? Or garlic? Grapes? Celery? Live
outside California, and that’s coming to you
via thousands of miles of asphalt.
Your local grocery is also probably not
selling seasonal produce. Walk into a Pub-
lix, or Ralph’s, or Whole Foods, or even your
corner deli in winter, and you’ll see pretty
much the same display of produce you see
in the middle of summer. If you’re like me,
you’re haunted by the idea that somehow
they’re inferior, and then you feel insecure
and wind up buying cereal instead.
The fact is, we live in a post-seasonal
world. The vast majority of our fruits and
vegetables comes to us on trucks and
planes from faraway farms, and everything
is always in season somewhere. Make your
peace with it. Technology has birthed an
endless stream of horrors, like 24-hour ca-
ble news and people crossing the street
while texting, but it’s also given us the abil-
ity to live in Queens and enjoy an orange
any time of the year, and that’s a beautiful
thing.
All too often, the phrase “seasonal and lo-
cal” has become co-opted by the forces of
snobbery, and while farmers’ markets are
wonderful things, there’s no good reason to
ignore the piles of grapes at your grocery in
February just because someone once told
you they’re inferior to the amazing grapes
they get at a little farm stand on Nantucket.
If there’s one vegetable that people feel
most passionate about eating only in sea-
son, it’s tomatoes. I even take my tomato
dish off the menu when the weather turns
cold. But the fact is, even tomatoes don’t
have to be eaten in season to taste good. You
just have to approach them the right way.
When I crave tomatoes between Novem-
ber and March, I know it’s time to make to-
mato confit, or as I like to call it, A Big Mess
of Winter Tomatoes. I buy a couple of
pounds of tomatoes, cover them in olive oil,
then roast them until they have golden
spots and have collapsed a bit. Not only do I
wind up with tomato-flavored olive oil that’s
absolutely delicious, but I’ve also got quarts
of flavorful tomatoes that I can serve on
pasta, on toast with whipped feta, on bagels
with cream cheese. I can turn them into a
delicious tomato soup, or into a coconut
curry sauce for fish, tofu or rice.
So forget what you’ve been told about
what vegetables to eat when. Winter to-
matoes exist, and if you approach them dif-
ferently than you’d approach summer to-
matoes, they can blast even the strongest
seasonal affective disorder to shards.
