violently assaulted with a ham-

break-in Friday at the couple9s
San Francisco home, a chilling
escalation in a string of violence
and threats directed at political
leaders across the country.
The suspect, identified by po-

An oil refinery in the U.S.
Virgin Islands that the Environ-

down in spring 2021 now poses
the risk of a fire, explosion or
other <catastrophic= releases of
<extremely hazardous substanc-

released this week.
The idled plant on St. Croix,
formerly known as the Limetree
Bay refinery, experienced a series
of accidents over the course of
last year that spewed noxious
fumes and showered oil droplets
onto nearby homes, sending
some residents to emergency
rooms. Now deteriorating condi-
tions at the massive facility,
which was sold in a bankruptcy
auction in December, pose a ma-

A federal judge in Arizona will

these civilian monitors, who are

Colo. man convicted in
border-wall fraud case
A Colorado businessman was
convicted Friday of charges that
he and others siphoned hundreds
of thousands of dollars from an
online fundraiser to build a wall
along the U.S. southern border
despite a promise to donors that
every cent would go toward
building the wall.
Timothy Shea was convicted in
Manhattan federal court of two
conspiracy counts and an
obstruction of justice charge by a
jury that deliberated about six
hours after a one-week retrial.
Sentencing was set for Jan. 31.
Another jury deadlocked on
charges in the spring after 11
jurors wrote a note to the judge to
say one juror had accused the
others of being politically biased
and suggesting the trial should be
held in the South.
Shea, of Castle Rock, Colo., was
charged two years ago along with
three others, including Stephen
K. Bannon, the former top adviser
to President Donald Trump.
Bannon, who is now being
prosecuted in state court, was
pardoned by Trump just before he
left office last year. Two others
have pleaded guilty.
The <We Build The Wall=
fundraiser attracted $25 million
in donations from hundreds of
thousands of people across the
country. Only a few miles of wall
were built.
Shea owns an energy drink
company, Winning Energy, whose
cans have featured a cartoon
superhero image of Trump.
Bannon, 68, last month
pleaded not guilty to New York
state charges alleging that he
cheated investors to the
campaign. Presidential pardons

Vallejo said her campaign has
been boosted by voters9 worries
about abortion rights, but she
faces some setbacks. Vallejo got a
later start to her campaign than
her opponent, having to battle
her way through a close primary,
a runoff and a recount before she
could begin competing in the
general election, while De La
Cruz soared from her 2020 cam-

Republicans also have out-

House Majority PAC cut planned
ads in the nearby city of Corpus

district races; state Democrats
have scrambled to make up the
difference.
Standing outside a barbecue

is that Vallejo is not just any

Since the 2020 presidential
election, when the GOP made
significant inroads in this part of
South Texas, both parties have
been fighting for ownership 4 or
the perception of ownership 4

Lawsuits become more common during election season

Experts worry increased
litigation could cause
voter confusion
BY P ATRICK M ARLEY
madison, wis. 4 In the United
States, election season has turned
into lawsuit season.
One legal challenge in Michi-
gan seeks to remove thousands
from the voter rolls. Two lawsuits
in Wisconsin seek to have more
absentee ballots counted, even if
they are missing some informa-
tion. In Arizona, a judge is review-
ing a new law requiring voters to
provide proof of citizenship to
register to vote. And in Pennsyl-
vania, lawsuits challenge the
state9s no-excuse absentee voting
law, as well as the policy to count
undated mail-in ballots.
Disputes over redistricting,
voter IDs, voting hours, recounts
and other election-related pol-
icies have long run parallel to
political campaigns, but the num-
bers are rising.
The increase began after the
Supreme Court decided the 2000
presidential election, and the
trend reached a high in 2020,
when the coronavirus pandemic
prompted a host of new voting
rules. The pace quickened after
that election, when Donald
Trump and his allies brought a
slew of lawsuits that unsuccess-
fully sought to deliver him a
second term as president.
Those battles appear to have
established a new baseline for
election litigation. Election ex-
perts say courts have the power to
clarify vague laws or policies and
resolve key questions before bal-
lots are cast, but many also con-
tend that the barrage of lawsuits
increases the chances of last-min-
ute rulings that can spur voter
confusion.
Dozens of disputes are under-
way and could explode after this
fall9s midterm elections because
recounts are certain in close races
and some Republican candidates
have left open the possibility that
they won9t accept the results if
they lose even by sizable margins.
And lawyers are already gearing
up for the 2024 presidential elec-
tion.
<Planning for litigation is now
a key part of campaign strategy,=
said Joshua Douglas, a professor
of law at the University of Ken-
tucky. <You can9t run a campaign
without also having your litiga-
tion strategy set up as well.=
Over the past 20 years, the rate
of election litigation has nearly
tripled, according to a tally by law
professor Richard L. Hasen of the
University of California at Los
Angeles. For the 2020 cycle, elec-
tion litigation increased by more
than 25 percent from the previous
presidential cycle.
In 2020, political parties spent
$66 million on election lawsuits,
more than quadrupling the $15
million they spent in 2016, ac-
Over the past 20 years, the rate of election litigation has nearly tripled, says Richard L. Hasen, a law professor at the University of
California at Los Angeles. In the 2020 cycle, election litigation increased by more than 25 percent from the previous presidential cycle.
cording to a review by University
of Iowa law professor Derek
Muller. And in the 18 months
after the 2020 presidential elec-
tion, the parties raised a record
$121 million for litigation, he
found.
In a recent law review article,
Muller called for reducing litiga-
tion by making election laws
more uniform and ending a pol-
icy that allows donors to give far
more money to political parties if
they earmark the funds for litiga-
tion.
<The notion that it9s really the
lawyers rather than the voters
who are sort of dictating the rules
of the game, I think, is just a
negative,= Muller said in an inter-
view.
Some lawsuits brought by
Trump allies have been based on
far-fetched claims that have gone
nowhere in court, but most cases
have had at least some merit,
Muller said. Democrats and vot-
ing rights groups are bringing
lawsuits seeking to expand access
to voting. Republicans and con-
servative organizations are filing
cases that they say are intended to
make sure voters and election
officials strictly follow election
laws.
While serving as counsel for
the Republican National Com-
mittee last year, Justin Riemer
described election litigation as a
now-constant feature of cam-
paigns.
<What we decided was it makes
no sense to just set up an opera-
tion every two or four years. It
needs to be permanent,= Riemer
told the right-wing website Breit-
bart. <That9s why we have perma-
nent staff now working on this
stuff, and it9s why we have perma-
nent litigation.=
Since the last midterm elec-
tions, in 2018, nearly every state
has changed its election laws in
some way, some restricting voting
access and others expanding it.
Those changes are driving some
of the latest lawsuits. Republi-
cans have a shot at taking control
of the legislatures and governor-
ships in some battleground
states, which could lead to more
legislation 4 and litigation.
More litigation is not necessar-
ily bad, particularly if it is filed
well before voting occurs, said
Rebecca Green, an associate pro-
fessor of law at William & Mary.
<I actually think that the more
litigation before elections, the
better in the sense that everybody
can bring out their concerns
about laws or policies or practic-
es,= she said. <The more that that
can happen before elections, the
better. Let9s resolve all of those
problems in the lead-up to 2024
so that we all know what the rules
are and those conflicts are re-
solved prior to the election.=
One case could have far-reach-
ing effects. The U.S. Supreme
Court will hear arguments in De-
cember over the independent
state legislature theory 4 the idea
that state lawmakers have broad
authority to set voting rules and
cannot be stopped by governors
or state courts. The Supreme
Court9s decision in the case could
drastically change how election
policies are set.
Many of the recent cases focus
on policies that previously drew
little attention; one such case in
Wisconsin concerns absentee bal-
lots that are returned to election
clerks without the full addresses
of witnesses. Under Wisconsin
law, an absentee voter must find a
witness 4 usually a spouse, rela-
tive or friend 4 to attest that the
voter legally completed the ballot.
The witness must sign the ballot
envelope and provide an address.
Wisconsin election clerks can-
not count ballots without those
addresses. In 2016, the state elec-
tion commission approved allow-
ing clerks to fill in a witness
address if the proper address
could be determined. Often, the
change was as simple as adding a
Zip code or city name.
The 2016 policy for filling in
addresses was put forward by
Republican commissioners and
adopted unanimously, but Re-
publican lawmakers turned
against it after Trump lost the
state in 2020. This summer, a
chapter of the Republican Party
sued to block it.
A judge last month ordered the
state election commission to re-
scind its guidance on the issue
because he concluded that voters
are responsible for providing the
witness addresses. The ruling left
it to the state9s nearly 1,900 elec-
tion clerks to determine what
rules to follow in their individual
jurisdictions. As a result, ballots
that are missing witness Zip
codes are being treated different-
ly from one community to an-
other, with some clerks sending
those ballots back to voters and
others allowing them to be count-
ed.
The situation sparked two
more lawsuits 4 this time from
groups that argued that clerks
should count absentee ballots
when witnesses omit parts of
MATT MCCLAIN/THE WASHINGTON POST
their addresses. Decisions in
those cases could change the
rules just weeks before the Nov. 8
election.
How many ballots could be
affected remains unclear, but
even a small number could be
pivotal in a state where elections
often are decided narrowly. A
review by legislative auditors of
about 15,000 ballots from 2020
found 7 percent were missing at
least part of the witness address-
es, with the vast majority of those
missing the state name or Zip
code.
The dispute over witness ad-
dresses could make its way to the
state Supreme Court. The court
has been unpredictable on elec-
tion cases but won praise this
summer from Republicans after
it ruled 4-3 that absentee ballot
drop boxes are not allowed under
state law. A spring election for a
seat on the court gives liberals
their first shot at control of the
court in years.
Meanwhile, in Arizona, litiga-
tion is proceeding over recent
laws that require people to pro-
vide proof of citizenship to regis-
ter to vote. A judge has blocked
enforcement of that policy for
this fall, and the case will deter-
mine what the rules are for 2024.
In Pennsylvania, the state Su-
preme Court in August ruled
against Republicans who sought
to throw out a 2019 law allowing
no-excuse absentee voting. A low-
er court is considering another
challenge to the law, brought un-
der a different legal theory.
Gregory Teufel, a lawyer who
brought the ongoing challenge,
said that how courts decide cases
helps determine whether the
public views election rules as fair.
<If the courts are viewed as
politicized, favoring one party
over another because of political
concerns, that obviously would
lead to more anger over elec-
tions,= he said. <If you get a court
to settle various questions in a
way that people accept was not
politicized, then I9m expecting
more confidence in the whole
election system.=
That case is unlikely to affect
voting this fall, but Teufel said he
hopes to get the absentee voting
law thrown out before the general
election in 2024. Another lawsuit
in Pennsylvania seeks to prevent
the counting of undated absentee
ballots.
Democratic election lawyer
Marc Elias said courts will be
tested in the years ahead because
Republicans are increasingly
raising the prospect of challeng-
ing which ballots can be counted
in races they lose narrowly.
<It9s basically a post-election
strategy of removal of ballots. It is
culling through people whose
ballots were counted and saying
they shouldn9t have been count-
ed. It is casting doubt on the
accuracy of who was allowed to
vote,= he said. <We haven9t seen
the courts in recent times grapple
with what do you do if those kinds
of claims are brought.=
Democratic campaigns in sev-
eral states also are preparing for
the possibility that their Republi-
can opponents will follow
Trump9s strategy and reject the
results of the election. A dozen
Republican candidates in com-
petitive races for governor and
Senate declined last month to say
whether they would accept the
results of their contests, and a
Washington Post analysis this
month found that 291 Republi-
cans in key races have denied or
questioned the 2020 election re-
sults. Republicans often noted
that Georgia gubernatorial candi-
date Stacey Abrams (D) did not
concede after losing her bid for
the office four years ago, although
she did not try to overturn the
certified result.
Michigan Secretary of State
Jocelyn Benson (D) faces a chal-
lenge this fall from Kristina Kara-
mo (R), who has falsely claimed
that Trump won Michigan and
has continued to repeat de-
bunked theories that the election
was not fair. Karamo has said she
witnessed irregularities in absen-
tee ballot processing in Detroit in
2020.
Benson, a former election law
attorney, said she has lawyers at
the ready to assist if Karamo
doesn9t accept the election re-
sults. Karamo9s campaign did not
respond to questions.
<The people who are investing
in our effort and our campaign
understand that in this moment,
post-election work and protec-
tion of the results sometimes is
part of the campaign itself,= Ben-
son said. <And so we9ll be pre-
pared if we need to, to raise funds
for litigation or anything else that
happens after the election.=

Flu season thus far is most severe U.S. has seen since 2009, data shows
Arriving six weeks early,
the highly active virus is
linked to 360 deaths
BY L ENA H . S UN
Influenza is hitting the United
States unusually early and hard,
resulting in the most hospitaliza-
tions at this point in the season in
more than a decade and under-
scoring the potential for a peril-
ous winter of respiratory viruses,
according to federal health data
released Friday.
While flu season is usually be-
tween October and May, peaking
in December and January, it9s
arrived about six weeks earlier
this year with uncharacteristical-
ly high levels of illness. There
have already been at least
880,000 cases of influenza illness,
6,900 hospitalizations and 360
flu-related deaths nationally, in-
cluding one child, according to
estimates released Friday by the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Not since the 2009 H1N1 swine
flu pandemic has there been such
a high burden of flu, a metric the
CDC uses to estimate a season9s
severity based on laboratory-con-
firmed cases, doctor visits, hospi-
talizations and deaths.
<It9s unusual, but we9re coming
out of an unusual covid pandemic
that has really affected influenza
and other respiratory viruses that
are circulating,= said Lynnette
Brammer, an epidemiologist who
heads the CDC9s domestic influ-
enza surveillance team.
Activity is high in the U.S. south
and southeast, and is starting to

States is behind where it usually is at this point in the season.
move up the Atlantic coast.
The CDC uses a variety of mea-
sures to track the flu, including
estimating the percentage of doc-
tor visits for flu-like illness. But
given the similar symptoms that
could include people seeking care
for covid-19 or RSV, another respi-
ratory virus with similar symp-
toms, the laboratory data leaves
no doubt.
<The data are ominous,= said
William Schaffner, medical direc-
tor for the nonprofit National
Foundation for Infectious Diseas-
es and a professor of infectious
diseases at the Vanderbilt Univer-
sity School of Medicine. <Not only
is flu early, it also looks very
severe. This is not just a preview
of coming attractions. We9re al-
ready starting to see this movie. I
would call it a scary movie.=
Adding to his concern, he said,
is that influenza vaccination is
lagging behind where it usually is
at this point in the season. About
128 million doses of flu vaccine
BLOOMBERG NEWS
have been distributed so far, com-
pared with 139 million at this
point last year and 154 million the
year before, according to the CDC.
<That makes me doubly wor-
ried,= Schaffner said. The high
burden of the flu <certainly looks
like the start of what could be the
worst flu season in 13 years.=
The number of flu cases this
season is already one-eighth of
last season9s total estimate of 8
million to 13 million cases.
The latest flu data comes as the
nation9s strained public health
system is grappling with multiple
virus threats. Coronavirus cases
are expected to increase as the
country heads into colder weath-
er and more people gather in-
doors. New covid-19 subvariants
with greater ability to dodge im-
mune defenses now account for
27 percent of cases, up from 17
percent a week ago. Children9s
hospitals are filling up with a
record number of kids infected
with RSV.
The flu vaccine9s effectiveness
in preventing a doctor visit, hos-
pitalization or death is uneven
from year to year, and in years
past, has hovered between 40 and
60 percent, according to the CDC.
But Brammer and others say this
season9s vaccine is well matched
against circulating strains. That
offers a <little ray of sunshine= for
what could be a bleak winter,
Schaffner said.
Nationally, the predominant
virus 4 a particularly nasty
strain, H3N2 4 causes the worst
outbreaks of the two types of
influenza A viruses and two influ-
enza B viruses that circulate
among people. Seasons where
H3N2 dominate typically result in
the most complications, especial-
ly for the very young, the elderly
and people with certain chronic
health conditions, experts say.
What many people don9t real-
ize is that even after someone
recovers from the flu, the inflam-
matory response generated by the
virus continues to wreak havoc
for another four to six weeks in
those who are middle-aged and
older, increasing the rate of heart
attacks and strokes, Schaffner
said.
Influenza has not been a seri-
ous problem the last two years,
experts and health officials have
said, because of the masking, so-
cial distancing and other mea-
sures people took to protect
themselves against covid-19.
Health officials tend to consid-
er a flu season to be officially
underway after consecutive
weeks of flu activity from several
surveillance systems, including a
significant percentage of doctor9s
office visits for flu-like illnesses.
Those doctor visits have in-
creased for three weeks in a row
as of Oct. 22, more than a month
earlier than previous seasons, the
CDC9s Brammer said.
The flu is famously difficult to
predict. It9s hard to know how
long the season will last, how
severe it might be, and if different
parts of the country will experi-
ence different levels of respirato-
ry disease at different times. Last
season, flu activity peaked in Jan-
uary, <then dropped like a stone,
then smoldered just under the
epidemic threshold beyond
March into April, May and June,=
said Schaffner. That <long smol-
dering tail was very unusual.=
<An early start doesn9t always
mean severe,= Brammer said.
In the Southern Hemisphere,
influenza season has also been far
different, Brammer said. In Aus-
tralia, there was a <really sharp,
very fast uptake then very quick
drop,= she said. In Argentina, the
peak flu activity occurred at what
would have been that country9s
summer.
<Things have not settled back
into a normal pattern,= Brammer
said.
Chile got ahead of its bad flu
season, which began months ear-
lier than a typical season, by rap-
idly vaccinating 88 percent of its
high-risk population before peak
influenza activity, according to a
CDC report this week. The flu
vaccine used in Chile, which in-
cluded a match for the dominant
H3N2 virus, was about 50 percent
effective in preventing hospital-
ization. The shot used in the
Northern Hemisphere includes
the same virus makeup as the
Southern Hemisphere vaccine, so
experts hope the formulation
might be similarly effective in
preventing severe influenza ill-
nesses.
The latest CDC data shows
overall respiratory illness activity
is <very high= in South Carolina
and D.C., and <high= in 11 states:
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, New Jer-
sey, New York City, North Caro-
lina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir-
ginia.
Texas was among the earliest
states to see flu activity in late
September. At the Houston Meth-
odist hospital system, laboratory-
confirmed influenza cases have
risen to 975 as of Oct. 20, up from
561 the week before, officials said.
Officials had been bracing for a
more robust flu season this fall
and winter because so many peo-
ple have dropped covid protec-
tion measures and are reluctant
to get vaccinated.
<This was something that we
were expecting because we are a
hub, and a lot of people are travel-
ing here,= said Cesar Arias, the
hospital system9s chief of infec-
tious diseases. But, he said, <I
didn9t expect to see that much
[flu] that early.=
Arias said conversations
around flu vaccinations have be-
come tied to the hesitancy around
coronavirus vaccines. The conver-
sations in Texas, <as you can imag-
ine, [are] stronger and at least
more vocal,= he said. <We are
struggling with that, trying to put
the message out to get vaccinat-
ed.=
People need to get a new flu
vaccine every year to be protect-
ed, and it takes up to two weeks
for protection to kick in and for
the vaccine to work. Flu is conta-
gious before symptoms start. The
CDC recommends that everyone
age 6 months and older get a flu

Pelosi9s husband attacked at home; suspect in custody
PELOSI FROM A1
The Pelosi assailant9s exclama-
tion of <Where is Nancy?= was a
striking echo of the Jan. 6 attack
when a pro-Trump mob could be
heard chanting, <Nancy, Nancy=
and <All we want is Pelosi= as they
ransacked the building, over-
whelmed police and sought to
stop the counting of electoral col-
lege votes in Joe Biden9s win.
A law enforcement official fa-
miliar with the investigation said
it is still too early to determine a
motive for the attack, but the offi-
cial said investigators are examin-
ing all indicators of a potential
motive, including the suspect9s so-
cial media accounts.
The official spoke on the condi-
tion of anonymity to talk frankly
about the probe.
Blog had antisemitic writings
The Washington Post con-
firmed that a voluminous blog
written under DePape9s name and
filled with deeply antisemitic writ-
ings 4 as well as pro-Trump and
anti-Democratic posts 4 was reg-
istered to a house in Richmond,
Calif., where DePape lives, accord-
ing to neighbors.
In a single day earlier this
month, the blog had seven new
posts.
The titles included: <Balcks
Nda jEwS,= <Were the Germans so
Stupid?= <Who FINANCED Hit-
ler9s rise to Power= <Gas chamber
doors= and <I guess this is as good a
time as any.=
The latter implored Trump to
pick Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as his
running mate for 2024.
On Oct. 19, the blog included
writings about Kanye West: <Ya I
remember the backlash and in-
sults when you came out in sup-
port of Trump.=
In five additional posts that day,
the blog published antisemitic
videos, demeaning caricatures of
Jews and expressed disbelief in
the Holocaust.

Two days ago, it was back at
politics. A video was posted about
the Steele dossier, and comments
were made when the video was
removed by YouTube.
The site was registered to an
address in Richmond, Calif., about
16 miles from Pelosi9s home.
Neighbors there said they knew
DePape, and a recent post con-
tained contact information for
someone close to DePape.
Reached using a phone number
published on the blog, the person
declined to comment.
San Francisco Police Chief Wil-
liam Scott said at a news confer-
ence that police responded at 2:27
a.m. Friday to a break-in at the
Pelosi home.
They found the assailant, who
grabbed a hammer from Pelosi
and attacked him in front of po-
lice. Police arrested DePape and he
will be charged with attempted
homicide, assault with a deadly
weapon, elder abuse and burglary,
according to Scott.
DePape also was taken to a hos-
pital.
Scott said the 911 dispatcher
who responded to Pelosi9s call
sensed the situation was serious
and gave it higher priority.
<This was a well-being check,

Election experts say hand counts sow distrust
NEVADA FROM A1
harbinger of the country9s future
should election deniers take
charge.
Leading the push in Nevada is
Jim Marchant, the GOP nominee
for secretary of state 4 a position
with authority over the battle-
ground state9s elections. If March-
ant is elected 4 a strong possibili-
ty in Nevada, where races for
governor, attorney general, U.S.
Senate and secretary of state are
all neck-and-neck, according to
polls and campaign operatives
from both parties 4 he would
wield broad power to implement
his agenda across the state.
In addition to championing
hand counts, Marchant has prom-
ised if elected to <decertify= the
2020 Nevada result because he
believes Trump won. Marchant
could also attempt to thwart cer-
tification of the popular vote in
the 2024 presidential race 4
something he has said he would
have done had he been in office in
2020. And he plans to spread his
gospel across the nation. <Some of
you may have heard that I con-
vinced a county here in Nevada to
implement a new prototype for
the election system that we9re
going to deploy all around the
country, with your help,= he prom-
ised from the stage of a Trump
rally this month in Minden, Nev.
It was Marchant who gave a
lengthy presentation to the Nye
County Board of Commissioners
last March that used debunked
2020 claims to argue for getting
rid of the machines. Marchant9s
presentation worked: The board9s
five Republican members voted
unanimously that day to seek a
hand count in the Nov. 8 general
election, although the county lat-
er decided to use electronic tabu-
lators as well, to verify the hand
count.
That process now faces its mo-
ment of truth. The hand count,
which began this week with tabu-
lation of early votes, could deepen
distrust in elections, experts say,
by opening up the possibility of
lengthy delays or serious mis-
takes.
<In a jurisdiction that9s larger,
and I already think Nye is pretty
big for this kind of thing, it be-
comes really challenging,= said
Pamela Smith, president of Veri-
fied Voting, a nonprofit that pro-
motes secure election practices
such as post-election audits.
Among other things, hand counts
invite mass human error and de-
lay results, she said, and they
reflect a lack of understanding of
the safeguards already in place to
ensure the accuracy of machine
counts.
If Marchant gets his way, Nye
could be a hand-counting model
for all of Nevada 4 and perhaps
the nation. His platform as secre-
tary of state would give him a
louder voice, and perhaps a big-
ger stick, to encourage other
counties to embrace hand count-
ing. He could try to block the use
of electronic machines, a move
that most election experts say
would make it all but impossible
for the state9s largest population
centers, Las Vegas and Reno, to
deliver timely results. And he
plans to seek legislation ending
early voting and mail voting 4
limiting access to the polls for
millions of Nevadans, many of
whom work in the 24-hour casino
economy in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Marchant has all
but promised that if he loses on
Nov. 8 he will contest the result.
<The same people that were in
charge in 2020 are in charge in
this election, and what9s going to
be different?= Marchant asked at
a recent poll-watcher training in
the lobby of a downtown Las
Vegas hotel.
Neither Marchant nor his cam-
paign manager responded to in-
terview requests from The Wash-
ington Post.
Marchant9s unfounded claims
of election fraud began not with
the 2020 presidential election but
with his own bid for Congress that
year, in which he lost by just
under 5 percentage points, or
16,000 votes. Like the Trump
campaign and several other Re-
publicans who lost, Marchant
sued unsuccessfully, claiming
that election officials in Clark
County, home to Las Vegas, had
sent thousands of absentee bal-
lots to ineligible voters. Marchant
provided no evidence that illegal
ballots had been cast, according
to court records.
Like the others, the case was
dismissed. But Marchant had
found an issue that resonated
with both the outgoing president
and his supporters. In February
2021, he announced his plan to
run for secretary of state. In
March, he led a rally in front of the
state Capitol in Carson City before
delivering boxes he claimed were
filled with credible complaints
about the 2020 contest. The next
month, he successfully pressed
the state GOP to censure the
term-limited secretary of state,

Republican Barbara Cegavske,
claiming she failed to investigate
those claims.
Along the way, Marchant
founded a new political organiza-
tion, the America First Secretary
of State Coalition, inviting elec-
tion-denying candidates from
around the country to join him:
Mark Finchem of Arizona, Kris-
tina Karamo from Michigan and
Audrey Trujillo from New Mexico,
among others.
A year ago, Marchant spoke at
<For God & Country: Patriot Dou-
ble-Down,= a gathering in Las
Vegas of adherents of QAnon, an
extremist movement promoting
election conspiracies as well as
the baseless claim that Trump is
secretly fighting a cabal of Satan-
worshiping pedophiles. At the
event, Marchant told the audi-
ence that QAnon influencer Juan
O Savin had persuaded him to
launch the coalition.
<We need to take back the sec-
retaries of state offices around the
country. So not only did they ask
me to run, they asked me to put
together a coalition,= Marchant
claimed, according to news re-
ports at the time.
Marchant also began teaming
up with like-minded election con-
spiracists from around the coun-
try, hosting an <election integrity=
conference funded in part by Pat-
rick Byrne, the election-denying
former CEO of Overstock.com,
and making presentations to gov-
ernment officials.
<Dispose of electronic voting
and tabulation machines and do
not use them in any elections
going forward,= Marchant told
Nye County commissioners at the
March presentation, where he
was joined by retired Army Col.
Phil Waldron and businessman
Russell J. Ramsland Jr., who had
worked with Trump9s legal team
to raise doubts about the ma-
chines in 2020.
Around the country, only a
handful of jurisdictions count
ballots by hand, mostly counties
and towns with tiny populations
concentrated in New England
and Wisconsin, according to data
provided by Verified Voting. To-
gether, voters living in these com-
munities represent just 0.2 per-
cent of registered voters nation-
wide.
But so far this year, communi-
ties in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas,
Louisiana, Nevada and New
Hampshire have discussed
switching to hand-counting of
ballots. Just last week, the clerk of
Elko County, Nev. 4 about the
same size as Nye, with roughly
53,000 residents 4 announced
plans to conduct a hand-counted
audit after the Nov. 8 election.
Experts say that if hand count-
ing is adopted on a broad scale,
election results could be thrown
into chaos by errors and delays.
That could give bad actors more
time to sow doubts and to slow or
even block certification. Time
and again, post-election audits
have confirmed that machine
counts are accurate. No proof has
emerged that the machines were
hacked in 2020.
<If the whole point of this is to
engender more trust in the cor-
rectness of the election outcome,
then I think the first thing is to
understand the existing process
and what is already in place to
make for a trustworthy election,=
Smith said. She noted that juris-
dictions in Nevada already audit
results by hand-counting a sam-
ple of ballots. They do so after
unofficial results have been re-
ported, encouraging confidence
EZ RE
Acting Nye County Clerk Mark Kampf, left, will oversee the hand-counting of ballots, but it will be
supplemented with a count from the county9s Dominion Voting Systems machines.

in the result without gumming up
counting on election night.
But the proposals hold appeal
for many Trump supporters, re-
flecting widespread belief that
the 2020 election was illegitimate
and boosting fundraising for con-
servative candidates and groups.
Among the backers of a hand
count at the Nye commissioners9
meeting last March was a man
named Mark F. Kampf, a candi-
date for Nye County clerk.
Kampf, a Republican, is on the
ballot Nov. 8 4 but he9s also the
acting clerk overseeing the hand
count. The previous clerk, Sandra
Merlino, resigned after pushing
back against commissioners9 re-
quest that she consider adopting
a hand count.
Kampf said during the public
comment period at the March
commissioners meeting that he
<fully= supports Marchant9s pro-
posal for the hand count, citing
what he described as widespread
doubts that the last election was
fair.
PHOTOS BY DAVID BECKER FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
<Through my process of meet-
ing people in this county, one of
the biggest concerns was whether
or not they should even vote,= he
said. <When I hear that, it brings
me great concern.=
Sitting in his bare office in the
desert-toned Pahrump court-
house, Kampf said in an inter-
view this month that he wants to
restore public faith in elections
with a well-run count that proves
the results are valid.
<My goal is to have the most
transparent election process that
I can have,= he said. <My goal is to
have the public be able to see
what9s going on.=
He conceded that has not been
easy. In August, the secretary of
state9s office, in response to the
growing interest in hand-count-
ing in some counties, issued tem-
porary regulations requiring that
all counties planning to hand-
count their results must do so
within seven days of Election Day
4 a near-impossibility for all but
the tiniest counties in Nevada.
THE WASHINGTON POST
As a result, Kampf opted to
continue using Nye9s Dominion-
made tabulators in addition to
the hand count, exempting the
county from the new rules. When
Nye publishes unofficial results
on election night, as well as its
official, canvassed results 10 days
later, they will come from the
electronic tabulators, not the
hand count.
Critics of Marchant say one of
their greatest fears is that if he
wins, he will roll back the new
hand-counting regulation 4
making it easier for more coun-
ties to opt for the process.
These critics also fear that
Marchant could, with the stroke
of a pen, decertify electronic vot-
ing machines in Nevada. State law
requires Nevada counties to use
only certified machines, so such a
move would effectively block
their use, even in giant popula-
tion centers such as Clark and
Washoe counties, where Demo-
cratic leaders have no interest in
hand counting.
. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29 , 2022
Such a move probably would
face an immediate legal challenge
from those counties, several ex-
perts said.
Kampf predicted that his hand
count will go well. He has recruit-
ed and trained more than 100
volunteers. He has promised that
each of at least eight counting
teams per day will include at least
one Republican and one Demo-
crat 4 not an easy feat in a county
where 69 percent of voters chose
Trump in 2020.
With two shifts per day, the
counting is scheduled to run
through Nov. 12 <but we will con-
tinue until finished,= Kampf said.
On Thursday, the second day of
the count, Kampf conceded that it
has gone more slowly than he
expected. The five-person teams,
made up primarily of retirees,
have huddled diligently for hours
in small offices in a low-slung
government building, sifting
through the ballots, reading
aloud the results and marking
their tally sheets, he said. But they
have not yet reached the goal of
completing five batches of 50 bal-
lots per shift.
<It9s not what I expected,= he
said. <But it9s still early in the
process. Today was almost double
what we did yesterday.=
Marchant9s critics see the can-
didate as an acute threat to de-
mocracy, but some of them con-
cede that the issue is not necessar-
ily a top motivator in Nevada. At a
recent Sunday morning kickoff
for a Democratic door-knocking
blitz partly sponsored by NARAL,
the abortion rights advocacy
group, Marchant9s opponent took
pains to link voting rights to all
the other issues motivating Dem-
ocrats to cast ballots this year.
<Unfortunately, my opponent
wants to take away our mail bal-
lots, our early voting, our same-
day voter registration, our auto-
matic voter registration,= Demo-
crat Cisco Aguilar told the group.
<We will fight to protect your
rights as females, and we will
fight to protect the right to the
ballot box because we know all of
these issues run directly through
the ballot box.=
Karen Caraway, 52, a retiree
who has been canvassing for the
Democratic ticket for several
weeks, said she thinks the candi-
dates9 message linking abortion
advocacy and access to the vote is
a strong one.
<It9s part of the GOP9s plan 4 to
take voting rights and women9s
rights away,= she said. <We can9t
let anything slide.=
Liberal groups are taking the
race seriously. The Democratic
Association of Secretaries of State
(DASS) raised a total of $2.5 mil-
lion nationwide in 2018, and had
no full-time staff. This year the
committee employs eight full-
time workers and is spending at
least $11 million 4 including $6
million in Nevada. Other top pri-
orities include Michigan and
Minnesota, with their own tight
races for secretary of state.
<There is a real urgency to
preserve our democracy, and sec-
retaries of state are one of the last
lines of defense,= said DASS exec-
utive director Kim Rogers.
There is no known comparable
spending for Marchant. His own
campaign has raised just
$355,000 to date, compared with
Aguilar9s $1.5 million. An inde-
pendent committee called Con-
servatives for Election Integrity
that lists Marchant as its contact
has raised a total this cycle of
about $400,000.
Meanwhile, the Republican
State Leadership Committee, a
sibling of the Republican Nation-
al Committee that makes inde-
pendent expenditures on behalf
of a variety of state-level cam-
paigns, has announced just
$200,000 in spending on secre-
tary of state races this year 4 and
the buys are in Georgia and Colo-
rado, where neither Republican
candidate is an election denier.
Some of what Marchant has
pledged to do 4 eliminate early
voting and universal mail voting,
for instance 4 would require new
laws that would be possible only if
Republicans take control of the
state legislature and governor9s
mansion.
And any effort to thwart a
presidential outcome would be
quickly met with a lawsuit, with
the Nevada Supreme Court ex-
pected to order Marchant to fulfill
his duty to certify the result of the
popular vote.
Those who are still uncon-
vinced that the 2020 vote was
decided fairly, meanwhile, say
they would welcome a closer look
at the outcome of the coming
election. They say a hand count
makes sense to tamp down per-
ceptions that the process is not
transparent enough 4 and to be
sure the final tally accurately re-
flects the wishes of voters.
<We want to get it right,= said
Goldberg, the volunteer counter.
<I may not be happy that you won.
But if you won fair and square,
that9s all we can do.=

Accomplished terrorism prosecutor takes on Trump probe
TRUMP FROM A1
Africa. Ghailani was acquitted of
most counts but found guilty of
conspiracy to destroy govern-
ment buildings and property. He
is the only Guantánamo Bay de-
tainee to be brought to a U.S.
court and tried and convicted.
Both Moussaoui and Ghailani re-
ceived life sentences.
Justice Department officials
initially contacted Raskin to con-
sult on the criminal investigation
into the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on
the U.S. Capitol. But his role has
shifted over time to focus more
on the investigation involving the
former president9s possession
and potential mishandling of
classified documents, the people
familiar with the matter said.
The addition of Raskin to the
team handling the Mar-a-Lago
probe is another indication of the
seriousness with which Justice
Department officials view the
case and underscores the high
stakes for both Trump and those
tasked with investigating him.
Raskin did not respond to mes-
sages from The Post. A Justice
Department spokesman declined
to comment. A spokesman for
Trump did not respond to re-
quests for comment Friday.
Just two weeks ago, Raskin
won a guilty plea in a case with
parallels to the Trump case 4 a
former FBI analyst in Kansas City
who authorities say took more
than 300 classified files or docu-
ments to her home, including
highly sensitive material about
al-Qaeda and an associate of Osa-
ma bin Laden.
In court papers, federal pros-
ecutors say they have recovered a
similar number of documents
with a variety of classified mark-
ings from Mar-a-Lago, all appar-
ently taken from the White
House. The Post has previously
reported that some of that classi-
fied material was highly sensitive
and restricted intelligence that
included at least one document
about Iran9s missile program and
others about intelligence-gather-
ing work aimed at China, accord-
ing to people familiar with the
matter.
Eyeing Trump9s intent
When deciding whether to file
charges in an investigation, Jus-
tice Department officials often
use past cases as a guide. In 2015,
authorities won a misdemeanor
guilty plea from retired general
and former CIA director David H.
Petraeus. Ten years earlier, for-
mer national security adviser
Samuel <Sandy= R. Berger plead-
ed guilty to a misdemeanor for
removing classified documents
from the National Archives and
Records Administration.
But past cases only count for so
much when investigating Trump.
<There is no other case in
history like this,= said Mary Mc-
Cord, who served as acting assis-
tant attorney general for national
security during the Obama ad-
ministration. <This is the former
president of the United States.
This is someone who was the
commander in chief, someone
who spent four years being
briefed every single day on na-
tional security issues. It isn9t like
any other case, so the steps pros-
ecutors take aren9t going to look
the same as any other case.=
Government employees with
security clearances have to sign
documents acknowledging they
know the rules of how to handle
such secrets, and follow them.
When they leave the government,
they also sign paperwork saying
they do not possess any classified
material, and prosecutors often
use that paperwork as evidence
that the defendants understood
what they did was illegal.
Presidents, however, do not
have security clearances and do
not sign such paperwork.
For that reason and others, any
potential criminal charge would
rely heavily on prosecutors9 abili-
ty to show Trump9s intent 4 that
he didn9t just unwittingly take
classified materials from the
White House and store them at
his residence at the private club
in Florida without knowing it was
a crime.
McCord said the timeline of
events 4 from requests for docu-
ments from the National Ar-
chives, to subpoena demands by
the Justice Department, to a co-
urt-authorized search of the
property on Aug. 8 4 could be
critical to meeting that require-
ment.
<The evidence of the many
months-long back-and-forth be-
tween the president and his law-
yers with the National Archives
about documents that were be-
lieved to be classified that they
wanted returned= suggests that
Trump was aware of the legal
ramifications of the situation, she
said.
Aggravating factors
Since the Aug. 8 search, many
key pieces of evidence have been
described by people close to the

Former president Donald Trump takes the stage at a rally last week in Robstown, Tex. One of the Justice Department9s most experienced national security prosecutors has
joined the team overseeing the intensifying investigation of classified documents at Trump9s Mar-a-Lago home and private club in Florida.
matter, and they offer a rough
sense of how prosecutors may
weigh the <aggravating factors=
in Trump9s case 4 circumstances
surrounding an alleged crime
that could increase its severity
and convince prosecutors to seek
charges.
<Classic aggravating factors in
a case involving the willful reten-
tion of classified documents
would include the number of
classified documents kept in a
place they are not authorized to
be,= said David Laufman, a former
senior Justice Department na-
tional security official. Like the
FBI analyst in Kansas City, Trump
allegedly had a large volume of
classified documents on his prop-
erty 4 though 184 of the more
than 300 were turned over volun-
tarily in January in boxes given to
Archives officials.
Other potential aggravating
factors include the sensitivity of
the classified information and
whether there was an effort to
conceal documents from investi-
gators, or obstruct the probe.
People familiar with the investi-
gation have said a Trump aide
told the FBI the former president
instructed him to remove boxes
from a storage room where classi-
fied documents were kept 4 and
that was done after Trump re-
ceived a subpoena in May for any
classified material in his posses-
sion. That witness account, from
former White House valet Walt
Nauta, is buttressed by security-
camera footage from Mar-a-Lago
that shows boxes being moved
after the subpoena, according to
these people familiar with the
matter.
Witness credibility
Federal investigators have in-
terviewed a range of low-level
Trump aides in the probe to
understand how the boxes got to
Mar-a-Lago, how they were
packed at the White House and
why they were moved, according
to two people familiar with the
matter.
In addition to Nauta, those
questioned include Molly Mi-
chael, Trump9s longtime personal
assistant, who sat just outside his
office and handled all his calls
and appointments in both Flori-
da and at his residence and golf
course in Bedminster, N.J., these
people said. Michael, who also
worked in the same role in the
Trump White House, departed
her job late this summer after
being questioned by federal au-
thorities, but she and Trump re-
main on good terms, these people
said. It is unclear what Michael
has told investigators.
Nauta still works for Trump
and recently traveled with him to
a rally, two Trump advisers said.
People close to Nauta said his
lawyers have conveyed to others
that he is likely to face difficult
choices in the weeks ahead be-
cause of the investigation. He has
conveyed to others that he did not
seek to be interviewed by the FBI
but had to answer their ques-
tions, these people said.
Prosecutors have also asked
Trump advisers and Archives offi-
cials about all the chances Trump
was given to return the docu-
ments, and why he expressed
anger at being asked to do so,
according to a person who has
heard accounts from some of
those who have been questioned.

There are important questions
that have to be answered before
prosecutors can make such a
determination, such as whether
key witnesses9 accounts of what
happened at Mar-a-Lago are
credible. Prosecutors are also try-
ing to determine whether claims
made by one Trump ally and
adviser, a former federal prosecu-
tor named Kash Patel, could pro-
vide Trump a defense that the
documents were no longer classi-
fied.
Patel has publicly claimed that
Trump declassified material.
While Trump has made similar
claims in public interviews, his
lawyers have yet to argue in court
papers that he did declassify the
documents. In recent weeks,
prosecutors called Patel to an-
swer questions before a grand
jury about any alleged declassifi-
cation decisions by Trump, ac-
cording to people familiar with
the matter. Patel has asserted his
Fifth Amendment right to refuse
to answer questions, and the two
sides appear to be at a stalemate.
Patel9s grand jury appearance was
first reported by CNN.
Prosecutors have also asked
Trump aides if they ever saw or
heard Trump give any kind of
blanket declassification order, ac-
cording to a person with direct
knowledge of the matter.

Xi9s new term in China brings forth new priorities
Under the leader whose ambitions reflect the traditions of Mao Zedong, the country will focus on Taiwan, missiles and spying
Chinese President Xi Jinping, center, leads members of the Chinese Communist Party9s Politburo at an exhibition Thursday on the revolutionary base in Yan'an. After securing what could be a lifetime tenure,
Xi has emphasized advancing military and technological capabilities to counter pressures from the West. One analyst says Xi9s policy agenda implies a desire to bring China back to the center of the world stage.
BY C HRISTIAN S HEPHERD
AND P EI- L IN W U
Fresh from securing another
term 4 if not life tenure 4 as
China9s paramount leader, Xi Jin-
ping on Thursday led a symbolic
field trip of his newly appointed
top lieutenants to the revolution-
ary base of Yan9an, the cradle of
Mao Zedong9s Communist Party
takeover of the nation.
Standing in the cave from
which Mao led his Red Army
troops, China9s most powerful
leader in decades delivered a
warning about the need for loyal-
ty, hard work and sacrifice. The
party, Xi told the assembled lead-
ers, must carry forward the Yan9an
spirit, which he described as pri-
marily one of <pioneering self-reli-
ance and arduous struggle.=
According to Xi, that wartime
ethos is needed today as much as
in the 1940s, when the Commu-
nists fought first the Japanese in-
vasion and then a civil war with
the ruling Nationalist Party.
The nature of the battle for
which Xi is preparing can be di-
vined from the backgrounds of the
country9s two dozen most senior
leaders, selected at the twi-
ce-a-decade political meeting that
just concluded. His choices reflect
a focus on developing advanced
military and technological capa-
bilities so that Beijing can with-
stand any pressure from the Unit-

2 protesters reported
fatally shot by troops
Iranian security forces fired on
demonstrators Friday in a
southeastern city that has seen
weeks of unrest amid nationwide
protests, activists said. They said
the shooting in Zahedan killed at
least two people, threatening to
ignite further tensions.
Zahedan has seen the deadliest
violence so far in the weeks of
protests that have gripped Iran.
The demonstrations in the city
erupted in part over a rape
allegation against a senior police
officer, dovetailing the protests
over the September death of
22-year-old Mahsa Amini that
have inflamed most of the
country.

ly when it comes to enforcing ter-
ritorial claims over Taiwan, the

<Xi is emphasizing that he suc-
ceeds the tradition of Mao,= said
Guoguang Wu, a senior research
scholar at the Stanford Center on
China9s Economy and Institu-
tions. <Under his leadership, just
like under Mao9s leadership in the
1940s, the party will be able to
gain whatever they would like to.=
Despite China9s growing global
clout, Xi still worries that slowing
growth and deep links with West-
ern industrialized economies will
weaken the party9s hold on power,
said Wu, who worked as an adviser
to reformist Chinese leader Zhao
Ziyang in the 1980s until he was
deposed during the 1989 Tianan-
men protests. <Xi has huge ambi-
tion. In his own words, he would
like to bring China back to the
center of the world stage. For that
purpose, China is not strong
enough.=
During the meeting, Xi under-
scored the severe challenges fac-
ing China. He elevated security
concerns alongside economic con-
cerns and he called for the country

come hardships.

advanced technologies, security
and military power.

Group.
Xi talks often about how offi-
cials must re-create the hard-won
breakthroughs in satellite and nu-
clear weapon technologies from
the early days of the People9s Re-
public, which were essential to
keeping China from being pushed
around by other nuclear-armed
nations.
The other major issue that
looms over the Politburo appoint-
ments is Taiwan, with 15 of the two
dozen members having some kind
of links to the island, either
through managing cross-straits
business ties 4 the carrots of Bei-
jing9s effort to compel unification
4 or as part of the army that may
one day be charged with bringing
it back into the fold should it ever
formally declare independence.
Cai Qi, one of the more surpris-
ing additions to the elite seven-
member Politburo Standing Com-
mittee, visited Taiwan in 2012
when he was working under Xi as
a local official in Zhejiang and
called for China to engage and
shift political allegiances in the
independence-leaning south of
the island.

two provinces helped him skip
stages of promotion to become

from the more China-friendly
Kuomintang party that ruled Tai-
wan at the time.
Much of this experience with
Taiwan could merely reflect Xi9s
own career path: He spent many
years in Fujian and Zhejiang, two
coastal provinces with deep busi-
ness ties to Taiwan. An exception,
however, is He Weidong, leader of
the Taiwan-focused Eastern Thea-
ter Command. The 65-year-old
general9s rise from not even being
among the 370-odd members of
the Central Committee to a seat on
the Politburo represents the more
menacing side of Xi9s Taiwan
agenda.
Shen Ming-Shih, the director of
national security research at the
Institute for National Defense and
Security Research, a think tank in
Taiwan, said the personnel chang-
es appear to show that Xi is <losing
patience= over Taiwan and is push-
ing a <tough Taiwan strategy that
does not care about the deteriora-
tion of cross-strait relations.=
The decision to retain Zhang
Youxia, 72, despite an informal age
limit of 68, is probably driven by
Xi9s desire for combat experience
at the top of the PLA. Zhang, the
oldest Politburo member, fought
in China9s 1979 war with Vietnam.
Another norm-breaking deci-
sion was to make Chen Wenqing,
China9s current spy master, a Polit-
buro member for the first time

Stanford scholar. <Now it seems
that Xi Jinping really wants to use
the system to control not only
social forces, but also to play a role
in the surveillance of the political
elite and in foreign relations,= he
said.
Hung Yao-nan, a China studies
scholar at Tamkang University in
Taiwan, said that Xi9s emphasis on
security reflects a dilemma of his
highly centralized rule. Hung calls
it the <Mao Zedong trap,= whereby
Xi will either need to make inter-
nal control ever more stringent,
like Stalin, or pursue rampant na-
tionalism and aggression.
<With Xi Jinping at the center
of an ever-smaller decision-mak-
ing circle, it is becoming easier to
make the bad decisions,= he said.
In his speeches, Xi often warns
that the whole world must fight
against divisions and entering a

Europe9s gas crisis eases, with prices down, supplies up
Experts warn that is
likely to change once
colder weather sets in
BY L OVEDAY M ORRIS
AND E VAN H ALPER
berlin 4 Not long ago, German
officials were locked in agonizing
debates over which industries
should be cut off if the country
found itself running out of natural
gas. Today, with storage facilities
almost full to the brim and prices
dropping sharply, Europe9s energy
crisis is feeling somewhat less
urgent.
<If you look back three to four
months, nobody expected us to be
where we are today,= said Jens
Südekum, professor of interna-
tional economics at the Düssel-
dorf Institute for Competition
Economics. <Things can still go
the wrong way, mostly because of
temperature or something unex-
pected like an act of sabotage, but
at least for the moment things
look better than expected.=
After having to give up its reli-
ance on Russian gas and find alter-
native suppliers to help prepare
for winter, Germany9s gas storage
was 97.7 percent full on Thursday.
European stocks are at 93.8
percent, well above the goal to
reach 80 percent capacity before
November.
The flush storage facilities have
caused short-term spot prices in
Europe to plummet: Europe9s nat-
ural gas benchmark price fell to 93
euros per megawatt-hour on Tues-
day, a drop of more than 70
percent drop from its peak.
At one point, the hourly Dutch
price slipped into the negative,
meaning that, with so little space
left to store purchased gas, traders
were briefly willing to pay some-
one to take gas off their hands. It
marked an extraordinary moment
for a continent whose energy mar-
ket has been upended by Russia9s
war in Ukraine.
But there is still plenty of cause
for caution, experts say, pointing
out that the sharp spot-market
declines are essentially a seasonal
blip that won9t bring much re-
prieve for consumers. Prices are
still expected to be about seven
times normal levels this winter.
And some experts say particularly
brutal weather could still lead to
supply shortages.
Heating is the main use for nat-
ural gas in European households.

Effort to call up more

BY M ARY I LYUSHINA
Russia9s controversial mobili-
zation to send reinforcements to
fight in Ukraine is now complete,
Russian Defense Minister Sergei
Shoigu reported to President
Vladimir Putin in a televised
meeting Friday, with 300,000
summoned for duty 4 the pre-
cise number Putin requested.
<We have stopped sending no-
tices to people, and the task you
set, 300,000 people, has been
completed,= Shoigu told Putin in
the meeting, which was clearly
scripted. <No further measures
are planned.=
According to Shoigu, 82,000
soldiers have been sent to the
conflict zone in Ukraine, with
half of those assigned to active-
duty units, and others continu-
ing to do combat training. <Over
1,300 government representa-
tives, 27,000 entrepreneurs, and
13,000 volunteers were called up
and joined the ranks; the average
age of those mobilized is 35
years,= Shoigu added.
Officially, mobilization in Rus-
sia ends only once the president
issues a decree, but such a docu-
ment was not immediately pub-
lished on official government
websites Friday evening.
Russians are paying careful
attention to the details because
little about the so-called <partial

planned, at least until Shoigu9s
announcement that Putin9s exact
target had been reached.

she said, adding that consumers

The unpopular move was seen
as an admission that the war in
Ukraine was not going as
planned and triggered a mass
exodus of fighting-age men, with
hundreds of thousands fleeing
the country, primarily to neigh-
ready struggling. German chemi-
cal manufacturing giant BASF 4
whose plant on the Rhine River
uses more gas than Switzerland 4
said this week that it would be

<In the first nine months of
2022, the additional costs for nat-
ural gas at BASF9s European sites

compared with the same period in

The usage reductions initiated
by industry in reaction to prices

it, the price you pay is higher gas

ments across Europe have been
doing.=
Although Europe was able to
top up its supplies without Russia,
it doesn9t yet have the infrastruc-
ture in place to fully replace Rus-
sian gas.
<Even though storage is higher
than it was in the last five years,
Europe will likely rely more heavi-
ly on pulling gas from storage than
they would in a normal winter,=
Meyer said. <Losing that pipeline
gas from Russia is still a funda-
mental challenge. And that prob-
lem is still a ways away from being
solved.=
Halper reported from Washington.
The public outcry prompted
regional officials to admit the
mistakes and allow several thou-
sand wrongly drafted men to
return home.
Responding to Shoigu on Fri-
day, Putin acknowledged that the
process had been problematic.
<It9s necessary to draw the neces-
sary conclusions and modernize
the entire system of work of
military registration and enlist-
ment offices,= he said.
Putin also conceded that the
war in Ukraine had shown a need
for an overall change in the
Russian military.
<Based on the experience of
conducting a special military op-
eration, we need to think over
and make adjustments to the
way we build all components of
the armed forces, including the
ground forces,= Putin said.
Both the Russian leader and
military officials vowed that all
mobilized men would undergo
training and get proper equip-
ment, but dozens of reports and
video clips have emerged on
social media over the past weeks
showing the recruits lacking ba-
sic things like protective gear or
food rations.

Nadia Melmuchuk, who fled the Russian-occupied Kherson region in Ukraine with her husband and children, sits in an underground shelter in Zaporizhzhia after her arrival this week.
Amid impossible choices of war, they would choose home, despite risk

perate to return home despite the
danger and uncertainty of life
under Russian occupation and
the acute risk of being trapped in
heavy fighting.
The seemingly crazy decision
to go back, by Anton, Nastya and
others like them, highlights the
impossible choices that war
throws at ordinary people who
are caught in a conflicting swirl of
allegiances and emotions. Is it
better to be safe while friends and
relatives remain in harm9s way?
Or should all be together in the
line of fire?
In Zaporizhzhia, an industrial
city now known for the nearby
nuclear power plant and for being
the capital of a region that Russia
claims to have annexed but does
not fully control, countless people
who fled Kherson or surrounding
towns and villages are queuing to
return for their relatives.
Their mission is growing more
desperate, and also more danger-
ous, as Ukrainian forces prepare
an expected assault to retake
Kherson, the first key city seized
by Russia after the start of the
invasion on Feb. 24. Ukrainian
troops have been advancing on
the city from the north and west,
and the Russians have been in
retreat, consolidating positions
on the east bank of the Dnieper
River, which splits the city.
Last week, Ukrainian Presi-
dent Volodymyr Zelensky said
<Russian terrorists= were plan-
ning to blow up the dam at the
nearby Kakhovka Hydroelectric
Power Plant to flood Kherson and
the surrounding area. Russia
claims that Ukraine is planning
to sabotage the dam, and over the
weekend, occupation officials an-
nounced they were relocating as
many as 60,000 people 4 roughly
one-fifth of Kherson9s prewar
population.
For months, people fleeing
Kherson and nearby towns have
arrived in Zaporizhzhia, often af-
ter harrowing, multiday journeys
through dozens of checkpoints
and across contested territory.
They are welcomed at a converted
big-box store and then housed at
a former hotel complex. Theoreti-
cally, they are supposed to stay for
a few days before moving on.
Some, however, remain for weeks
4 not because they can9t find
other accommodations but be-
cause they are waiting for permis-
sion to go back.
Konstantyn Buhlyai, a 38-year-
old potato farmer from the town
of Chaplynka, roughly a two-hour
drive from Kherson, had just
marked a month in Zaporizhzhia.
Buhlyai had previously sent his
wife and two children to live in
Utah via a religious group his wife
found online. But as a man of
military age, he cannot leave
Ukraine. Nor can he return to his

town to retrieve his parents.
Ihor Samoylychenko, 45, also
has spent the past month waiting
to return, in his case to Kherson,
where a neighbor had been tak-
ing care of his two children, ages 8
and 10. He has put his name into
an electronic queue for permis-
sion to return but has no clue how
long it will take.
Samoylychenko, a truck driver,
had used his 4.5-ton vehicle to
take three families out of Kherson
before returning with humanitar-
ian aid. But when he tried to ferry
a second batch of families, he was
stopped in Zaporizhzhia. Region-
al Ukrainian officials would not
let him return to Russian-
occupied territory.
Samoylychenko wrote a letter
to the Zaporizhzhia governor and
to a local official at the crossing
point, asking to be allowed to go
home to his children and ailing
mother. But the local official de-
nied his request, citing martial
law that restricts the movement
of civilians.
Regional officials blamed the
travel restrictions on the national
guard, which did not respond to a
request for comment. It was un-
clear whether the restrictions
were in place to prevent people
from willingly or unwittingly
providing the Russian authorities
with information, were a result of
safety concerns or were merely a
feature of wartime bureaucracy.
As the fighting around Kher-
son has intensified, Samoyly-
chenko has grown more desper-
ate.

ous. Last month, a convoy of cars
waiting to return to Russian-
occupied territory was hit by a
suspected Russian missile, killing
more than two dozen people and
injuring scores.
Yet life in Zaporizhzhia has its
own risks. There have been explo-
sions near the welcome center.
Consequently, internally dis-
placed people are no longer al-
lowed to gather there, volunteers
said. And just a week ago, a
suspected Iranian drone was shot
down above the hotel serving as a
shelter. The explosion shattered
some windows, and glass still
littered the parking lot outside.
<We are kind of safe here, but our
families back home are not,=
Samoylychenko said. <We9re liv-
ing on the edge.=
Without word from his preg-
nant wife, Anton was at risk of
going over that edge. The couple
had met about a year earlier at
their job building small air-
planes. Nastya worked on design-
ing the planes, and Anton built
them. They began flirting, then
dating, and on New Year9s Day
this year, he proposed.
<What, are you an idiot?= she
said before hugging him and say-
ing yes.
Russia invaded less than two
months later, sweeping into
southern Ukraine from occupied
Crimea. Within a few days, the
Russians had taken Kherson.
Anton and Nastya fled to the
capital, where they found an
apartment and he found a job.
Soon, they learned she was preg-
nant.
But Nastya worried about her
mother and wanted to get her out
of Kherson. <She was saying: 8I
want to go home. I want to go
home,9 = Anton recalled. He
thought it was such a bad idea
that he took her to Bucha, Irpin
and Hostomel 4 suburbs near
Kyiv where Russian soldiers were
accused of committing atrocities.

<I showed her the mass graves,=
he said. <And I told her it could be
repeated.=
Nastya was undeterred. So last
month, the couple traveled to
Zaporizhzhia by train. But they
could not go home together; An-
ton was told he could not accom-
pany her. When he said goodbye,
he thought he would quickly win
permission and rejoin his preg-
nant wife. But it has now been
almost a month, and he is living
and volunteering at the hotel
turned shelter: 200 miles from
his wife and soon-to-be first child.
On Saturday, she sent him a
photo of her baby belly.
<Oh my god,= he replied.
<Amazing.=
And then the photos stopped.
Anton called her once, twice,
nine times, but there was only
silence.
<My sunshine I love you end-
lessly,= he texted. <Please you and
mom be careful, when you read
my message please call me im-
mediately and write.=
He tried not to think of all the
things that could have happened.
And then, on Sunday, a text.
<Bunny, hello,= she wrote.
<Everything okay???= he re-
plied. <I was worried. Almost
didn9t sleep.=
As with many in Kherson, her
internet service had been cut.
Anton scrambled to find a way to
call her, but neither cellphones
nor Facebook nor other apps
worked. Finally, he remembered
using Skype years ago and gave it
a try. Suddenly, her phone began
to ring and Anton could feel his
heart leap.
<Hello?= he said. <Are you
alive?=
Nastya9s reply was the same
one as 10 months earlier, before
the war and their separation and
the baby he prayed he would one
day get to see.
<What, are you an idiot?= she
said, and burst into tears.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off last week from the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Fla., carrying Starlink satellites into orbit.
Warfare edges toward next frontier
Pentagon sees commercial satellites as big part of future. Russia says they could be military targets.
BY C HRISTIAN D AVENPORT
Thursday evening, SpaceX
launched yet another of its Falcon
9 rockets to space, the 49th in
2022, a record as it continues to
launch a rocket about once every
six days. This one carried 53 Star-
link satellites to orbit, adding to a
constellation that now has more
than 3,000 in operation 4 more
satellites than the rest of the world
combined, according to analysts.
On Tuesday, SpaceX is sched-
uled to launch a much more pow-
erful rocket, the Falcon Heavy.
This time, the customer is the U.S.
Space Force and the payload is
strictly classified.
The launches come as tensions
between the United States and
Russia are high amid Russia9s in-
vasion of Ukraine and just days
after Russia threatened to target
the commercial satellites, which
have proved a boon to Ukraine
and its allies during the war.
The launches are yet another
sign of the Pentagon9s increasing
reliance on the commercial space
sector, which has become more
capable at the same time that
space has become an increasingly
contested domain. That partner-
ship was even codified in the Na-
tional Defense Strategy released
by the Defense Department earli-
er this week: <We will increase
collaboration with the private sec-
tor in priority areas, especially
with the commercial space indus-
try, leveraging its technological
advancements and entrepreneur-

A few days later, a senior Rus-
sian official proved him prophetic,
threatening commercial satellites
during a meeting at the United
Nations.
In a speech, Konstantin
Vorontsov, deputy director of the
Russian Foreign Ministry9s de-
partment for nonproliferation

privately operated satellites is <an

U.S. crops struggle

Drought is rapidly expanding

Almost three-quarters of U.S.
farmland for winter wheat is in

highest since at least 2000,
according to government data.

The Pentagon and U.S. intelli-
gence agencies have taken a keen
interest in Virgin Orbit, the small
launch company founded by Rich-
ard Branson. Instead of launching
its rockets from a vertical launch-
pad on the ground, the company
tucks its boosters under the wing
of a 747 airplane that carries it
aloft. It then drops the rocket,
which fires its engines and flies off
to space. That allows the company
to launch from any runway that
can accommodate a plane the size
of a 747.
Russia is adept at disrupting
satellites and has repeatedly tried
to jam the Starlink system, though
it has remained online, U.S. offi-
cials have said. Last year, Russia
fired a missile that destroyed a
dead satellite in a test that demon-
strated its ability to target sensi-
tive spacecraft.
That is why the Pentagon in-
creasingly is relying on constella-
tions of small satellites. Knock one
or two out and there are dozens
more to pick up the slack. And
since they are relatively inexpen-
sive, more can take their place.
An embrace of that technology
was also noted in the Pentagon9s

Democrats increasingly
concerned by rate hikes
Pair of senators urged
Fed this week to slow its
effort to cool economy
BY R ACHEL S IEGEL
Less than two weeks before the
midterms, a growing number of
Democrats in Congress are put-
ting more pressure on the Federal
Reserve, calling on officials to
slow their fight to cool the econo-
my before it harms the labor mar-
ket and causes more economic
pain.
On Thursday, Sen. John Hick-
enlooper (D-Colo.) sent a letter to
Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell, urg-
ing the central bank to ease up on
its back-to-back interest-rate
hikes until it9s clear how drastical-
ly those decisions affect the econo-
my this year and next. And earlier
this week, Senate Banking Com-
mittee Chair Sherrod Brown (D-
Ohio) cautioned the Fed against
triggering unnecessary conse-
quences for the labor market,
which reliably weakens in a slow-
ing or contracting economy.
Those calls, which echo earlier
concerns from Sen. Elizabeth
Warren (D-Mass.), reflect growing
criticism among left-leaning econ-
omists and Fed watchers who say
the central bank is going too far
and risks overcorrecting and
pushing the economy into a reces-
sion.
The Fed has raised its policy
rate five times since the spring,
and plans to hike rates two more
times before the end of the year.
But those moves operate with a
lag, and it will be months before
officials fully understand the
scope 4 and toll 4 of such action.
<High inflation necessitates a
response. But the concern is the
Fed is doing too much, too quick-
ly,= Hickenlooper wrote in his let-
ter to Powell. <It has already taken
drastic action by raising rates by
so much in a short period of time.
We should wait to see the effects
on the economy and how those
changes are absorbed.=
Inflation is the economy9s big-
gest problem, with prices climb-
ing 8.2 percent in September, com-
pared with the year before. So far,
Fed policy has done little to bring
consumer prices back down to
normal levels, and officials are
showing no signs of backing

down. Next week, the Fed is widely
expected to announce its fourth
consecutive hike of 0.75 percent-
age points.
Rate hikes target demand in the
economy by making a range of
lending more expensive. But they
do nothing to address supply-side
issues keeping inflation high 4
from Russia9s invasion of Ukraine
to persistent labor shortages.
That9s why a growing number of
Democrats worry that rate hikes
alone won9t solve the inflation
problem and will cause economic
pain and harm the labor market
by causing businesses to pull back
on hiring or lay people off.
So far, the economy hasn9t been
swamped by widespread layoffs,
but certain sectors 4 like housing
and tech 4 are showing signs of
softening. Even at the Fed, policy-
makers expect the unemployment
rate could rise to 4.4 percent next
year, up from the current 3.5 per-
cent. (Generally, a rise of half a
percentage point or more in the
unemployment rate has signaled a
recession.)
<While, for now, the labor mar-
ket remains relatively stable, we
are starting to see job openings
decrease and unemployment
claims rise,= Brown wrote in his
letter. <We must stay focused on
addressing the root causes of infla-
tion without putting workers9 live-
lihoods at risk.=
The Fed closely guards a rare
independence from politics, but it
is not immune to Washington, es-
pecially when the economy is top
of mind for voters headed to the
polls. The Biden White House reg-
ularly declines to comment on Fed
policy. But members of Congress
operate under different norms.
(Neither Hickenlooper nor Brown
is up for reelection this year.)
Over the last year, Democrats
and Republicans have shifted
their arguments for what the cen-
tral bank should be doing for the
economy. For much of 2021, Dem-
ocrats applauded the Fed 4 and
Powell 4 for waiting to raise rates,
since the delay allowed the labor
market to keep growing, even as
inflation climbed.
Republicans, meanwhile,
sharply criticized the central
bank, saying the Fed was letting
inflation climb out of control. But
lately, Republicans have been
largely silent on the Fed9s rate
hikes and, if anything, say the Fed
has a long way to go before easing
up.

U.S. may
further rein
in tech sales
to China
Additional restrictions
could include quantum
computing and AI

BY J EANNE W HALEN

Weeks after enacting the

strictest curbs yet on technology
exports to China, the U.S. official
overseeing the measures suggest-
ed they could soon get tougher, as
his team pursues support from
allies and considers restrictions
on other types of technology.
The remarks from Alan Este-
vez, Commerce Department un-
dersecretary for industry and
security, come as semiconductor
companies from the United
States and other Western nations
continue cutting or suspending
lucrative trade with China 4
often their biggest export market
4 to comply with new restric-
tions aimed at depriving Beijing
of computer chips for its military.
The U.S. goal is not to bring
about the <economic destruction
of China= or a full decoupling of
trade, Estevez said at a briefing at
the Center for a New American
Security. But he said the Biden QILAI SHEN/BLOOMBERG NEWS

administration is <not done= con-
sidering additional technology
exports to regulate.
<I also keep getting asked
8When will that China review be
done?9 And that China review
will be done when the Chinese
change their behavior,= Estevez
said. <So we are going to continue
to look at not just what we did
with semiconductors, but other
areas that the Chinese are using
to threaten the United States and
its allies.=
Areas <on my radar= for possi-
ble additional export controls,
Estevez said, include quantum
computing, biotechnology and
artificial intelligence.
<We9re not done,= he said.
<There9s other things to be done
with other technologies. & As
technology moves, we9re going to
stay with it.=
The latest rules, enacted Oct. 7,
restrict sales to China of ad-
vanced computer chips and the
equipment needed to manufac-
ture them. Estevez said the ad-
ministration is close to getting
allies to join the restrictions,
which would further cut China9s
access to Western technology.
A worker inspects circuit boards at a factory in Suzhou, China. The latest U.S. rules restrict sales to China of advanced computer chips and equipment needed to make them.
<It9s not just me, it9s the nation-
al security adviser, the secretary
of commerce are all on the phone
working this,= he said. <So we
expect to have a deal done in the
near term.=
The restrictions are causing a
major hit to U.S. tech companies,
which have come to rely on China
as a large export market.
KLA Corp., a California-based
company that sells chip-manu-
facturing equipment, this week
said the restrictions could de-
prive it of $600 million to $900
million in sales next year, equal
to as much as 10 percent of the
company9s revenue in its fiscal
year that ended in June. China is
the company9s largest market,
representing 31 percent of sales,
while North America makes up
only 9 percent.
In recent days, another big
equipment supplier, the Dutch
company ASML, told its U.S.
employees to stop installing or
servicing equipment at any Chi-
nese chip factory while it sorts
through the new rules. And Cali-
fornia-based Applied Materials
said the export restrictions will
prevent it from completing sales
of roughly $400 million in the
fourth quarter.
Estevez said his job is to pro-
tect national security <regardless
of the impact= on trade. U.S. tech
executives have not complained,
he said.
<That China review will be done when the Chinese
change their behavior. So we are going to continue
to look at not just what we did with
semiconductors, but other areas that the Chinese
are using to threaten the United States.=
Alan Estevez, Commerce Department undersecretary for industry and security
<No one has come to me and
said, 8This is going to ruin my
business. How could you do that
in the name of national secu-
rity?9 = he said. <In fact, most of
them come and say, you know,
8We9re good Americans. We un-
derstand.9 =
But the Information Technol-
ogy Industry Council, a trade
association for tech companies,
said it hoped the administration
would <work with industry= on
any new restrictions. Rob Stray-
er, executive vice president of
policy at the group, said this
would <ensure that any proposed
export controls are targeted and
tailored to the security threat at
issue, agreed to at the multilater-
al level and do not undermine
U.S. leadership on innovative
technologies.=
The export controls enacted so
far aim to slow China9s ability to
produce high-end semiconduc-
tors that have dual uses in com-
mercial and military technology
4 and even some applications in
weapons of mass destruction, the
Biden administration said. For
now, China lags behind Taiwan,
South Korea and the United
States in manufacturing the most
advanced chips.
Even as the United States asks
allies to adopt similar controls,
the U.S. restrictions already place
curbs on their trade with China.
The rules bar <U.S. persons= 4
including American citizens and
U.S. green-card holders 4 from
supporting the production of ad-
vanced chips in China, unless
they receive a U.S. government
license. That applies to the many
U.S. employees who work for
European and Asian companies.
The Biden administration is
also barring any factory world-
wide from supplying China with
certain chips if that factory uses
U.S. technology in its manufac-
turing process, as most chip fac-
tories do. Taiwan, the world9s
biggest manufacturer of chips
and a major supplier to China,
has said it will abide by the U.S.
rules.
The Chinese Embassy in
Washington called the restric-
tions <sci-tech hegemony= and
accused the United States of
seeking <to hobble and suppress
the development of emerging
markets and developing coun-
tries.=
Industry experts have ex-
pressed concern that the restric-
tions will only spur other coun-
tries to engineer U.S. technology
out of their systems, and encour-
age China to develop its own
semiconductor industry faster.
Estevez said he would never
<discount Chinese ingenuity and
capability= but believes that the
restrictions are broad enough to
slow China down.
<And of course we need to
ensure that we, the United States
and our allies, advance the tech-
nology to stay ahead,= he said.
<There9s an offense and a defense
game to this.=

Some users hail Musk9s Twitter takeover with racist posts
TWITTER FROM A1
er its views would be binding on
the company.
Musk9s social media rival Mark
Zuckerberg, chief of Facebook9s
parent company, Meta, also turned
to an outside group 4 known as the
Oversight Board 4 to pass judg-
ment on Facebook9s social media
moderation actions after years of
public criticism of its decisions. But
whether Musk has a similar ar-
rangement in mind was unknown.
Paul M. Barrett, the deputy direc-
tor of New York University9s Center
for Business and Human Rights,
said such a council under Musk
would face even more skepticism
because of Musk9s <notoriously er-
ratic and imperious personality.=
<To make an advisory body
work, he would have to give it
some degree of independence and
make it very transparent,= Barrett
said. <Frankly, I am not that opti-
mistic, but as the whole Musk-
Twitter saga has illustrated, he is
full of surprises.=
Musk also did not meet with
Twitter9s employees, something
that had been widely expected 4 or,
in some cases, dreaded. Rumors of
widespread layoffs have roiled
Twitter9s workforce since The
Washington Post revealed last week
that Musk had told potential inves-
tors that he foresaw cutting Twit-
ter9s staff by nearly 75 percent. No
layoffs were announced Friday, and
Twitter workers at its headquarters
in downtown San Francisco report-
ed that they heard nothing from
senior managers during the day.
Twitter did hear from one major
advertiser, however, the auto man-
ufacturer General Motors, which
told CNBC that it was temporarily
suspending advertising on the
platform until the direction of the
company under Musk becomes
clearer. On Thursday, Musk tried
to assuage advertiser worries in a
tweeted letter in which he prom-
ised that the site would not become
a <hellscape= or a <free-for-all= and
pledged that the app would remain
<warm and welcoming to all.=
The reality of those worries be-
came clear after Musk closed the
$44 billion deal, however, becom-
ing Twitter9s owner and firing the
chief executive officer, chief finan-
cial officer, chief policy officer and
general counsel.
Within hours, Musk9s portrayal
Biden to replace IRS commissioner as Democrats seek to retool tax agency
Charles Rettig9s rocky
four-year tenure will
come to an end Nov. 12
J ACOB B OGAGE
BY
The Biden administration will
replace Internal Revenue Service
Commissioner Charles Rettig at
the conclusion of his term in
November, Treasury Secretary
Janet L. Yellen announced Friday.
Douglas O9Donnell, a deputy
commissioner and longtime IRS
official, will lead the agency on
an interim basis beginning Nov.
12.
Rettig, a former Beverly Hills
tax attorney, has had a rocky
tenure since assuming the IRS
role in 2018. Nominated by Presi-
dent Donald Trump, he rebuffed

of himself as a <free speech abso-
lutist= and his fierce criticism of
the company9s previous leaders as
overly rigid and suppressive
seemed to have encouraged a wide
range of anonymous Twitter ac-
counts to act as if his takeover
meant the old rules against bigot-
ry no longer applied.
<Elon now controls twitter. Un-
leash the racial slurs. K---S AND
N-----S,= said one account, using
slurs for Jews and Black people. <I
can freely express how much I
hate n-----s & now, thank you
elon,= another said.
Racial slurs were posted ram-
pantly. One single-word tweet,
showing a single racial slur in all
capital letters, was retweeted more
than 700 times and liked more
than 5,000 times. It was tweeted
Thursday night and remained on-
line more than 16 hours later.
One account, created this
month, included a Nazi swastika
as its profile picture and retweet-
ed quotes from Musk alongside
antisemitic memes. Another
tweet, showing a video montage
glorifying Nazi Germany with the
comment, <I hear that there have
been some changes around here,=
was liked more than 400 times.
The Network Contagion Re-
search Institute (NCRI), a group
that analyzes hundreds of millions
of messages across social media,
said use of the n-word on the app
spiked nearly 500 percent over the
12 hours after Musk9s deal was
finalized.
By Friday afternoon, misogy-
nistic and anti-LGBTQ messages
had become increasingly promi-
nent, including from accounts
calling for the harassment and
misnaming of transgender people
or the use of certain terms, like
<groomer,= to insinuate that they
sexually recruit children.
<Almost immediately I noticed
an increase in anti-trans harass-
ment, it9s very visible,= said Erin
Reed, a trans activist and legisla-
tive researcher. <I9m seeing more
people in comments with explicit
threats, more misgendering, more
harmful slurs. I9ve gotten pictures
of me getting shot by a shotgun.
It9s a pretty scary environment on
Twitter right now.=
Some anti-LGBTQ Twitter us-
ers began running <tests= of Twit-
ter9s new rules by posting the pre-
vious names, known as <dead
subpoenas from Congress to turn
over Trump9s tax records. When
President Biden took office, nu-
merous congressional Demo-
crats called for Rettig9s firing.
Instead, Biden left him in
place to complete the post9s
five-year term. Rettig9s reputa-
tion improved among liberal law-
makers as the IRS worked fever-
ishly to distribute coronavirus
stimulus payments and adminis-
ter a tax code made more com-
plex by pandemic-related eco-
nomic upheaval.
The IRS in March deployed
surge teams of employees and
embarked on a hiring spree to
sort through a backlog of 24
million tax returns, a quantity of
paperwork that officials said it
likely would not be able to sur-
mount until the end of 2022.
Democrats later pushed
through legislation to strengthen

names,= of prominent trans media
figures and by misgendering high-
profile trans women.
Some accounts, including that
of conservative commentator Matt
Walsh, celebrated Musk9s takeover
as helping supercharge opposition
to <the trans agenda.= The <libera-
tion of Twitter couldn9t have come
at a more opportune time,= Walsh
tweeted to his more than 1 million
followers. <Now we can ramp up
our efforts even more.=
The Human Rights Campaign,
an LGBTQ civil rights group, said in
a statement Friday that it was <very
concerned= about Musk9s owner-
ship. <Twitter has a right, and a
responsibility, to keep its platform
from being exploited to fuel a dan-
gerous media environment,= the
group said. <This isn9t about cen-
sorship or discrimination of ideas
4 it is about what kind of company
they want to be and what kind of
world they want to shape.=
Some of the Twitter influx was
organized on other platforms, in-
cluding on the anything-goes mes-
sage board 4chan and the pro-
Trump forum TheDonald, where
its top posts Friday showed tweets
celebrating lies about Trump9s
2020 election loss and memes crit-
icizing transgender people under
the headline <When you can9t get
billion to invest in better enforce-
ment capabilities, more staff, up-
graded IT systems and improved
taxpayer services.
<I want to thank Commissioner Rettig for his
tireless service to the American people . . . I am

<Cold Meme War, [Twitter] De-

poster said, attaching an image of
a soldier with a rifle and a <Make

Alex Goldenberg, NCRI9s lead
intelligence analyst, said the
swarm of racial slurs organized on
anonymous forums such as 4chan
was intended <to make as big a
mess as possible for Twitter9s new
management.=
<Online trolls regularly test the
limits of moderation,= Goldenberg
said. Rather than a <paradigm
change= at the company, he said,
the spike could show that these
groups <are seeking to give Elon
Musk all he can handle.=
Musk9s acquisition and almost-
instant firing of Twitter9s top exec-
utives was also widely celebrated
in Telegram groups devoted to
QAnon, the jumble of pro-Trump
extremist ideologies and baseless
theories. <Sometimes it takes a
while, but the good guys win,= one
QAnon influencer wrote.
Some rules, however, still ap-
peared to apply. Stew Peters, a
far-right conspiracy theorist and
radio host who was banned from
Twitter, created a new account
Thursday night and posted, <I9m

crease in threats toward IRS
employees, Rettig and union
leaders told The Washington
Post. Rettig ordered a security

morning, however, the account
had been suspended.
But Musk9s takeover is still
fresh. After a right-wing influenc-
er tweeted that he continued to be
<shadowbanned, ghostbanned
[and] searchbanned= on the plat-
form, Musk tweeted Friday morn-
ing that he would <be digging in
more today.= (After Musk9s reply,
the account tweeted about <liberal
tears= and celebrated gaining
more than 40,000 followers.)
Musk9s takeover also led some
prominent Twitter users associat-
ed with Russian and Chinese
state-backed media outlets to call
for Twitter to remove labels identi-
fying their accounts as propa-
ganda.
Twitter and other social net-
works have used the labels since
the 2016 election to defend against
foreign election interference and
misinformation.
Margarita Simonyan, the editor
in chief of the Russian govern-
ment-backed broadcaster RT,
called for Musk to remove the
<shadow ban= from her account
and appealed to his stated com-
mitments to <free speech.=
But European regulators re-
minded Musk on Friday that they9d
be closely scrutinizing any changes
he made to the platform, 75 per-
review of the agency9s offices
nationwide in response.
In some quarters, the new
funding was seen as a vote of
confidence in Rettig from the
Biden administration, especially
as Rettig9s forceful response on
employee safety endeared him to
staffers. But Biden appears
poised to nominate a permanent
successor in the coming weeks,
likely before a new Congress is
installed in 2023.
<I want to thank Commission-
er Rettig for his tireless service to
the American people across two
administrations, and his leader-
ship of the IRS during the diffi-
cult and unique challenges posed
by covid-19,= Yellen said in a
statement. <I am grateful to him
for his partnership and efforts to
ensure taxpayers had the re-
sources they needed to make it

She added that O9Donnell, the

cent of whose users live outside the
United States. A sweeping new law
set to come into force in the Euro-
pean Union would force Twitter
and other tech companies to fight
misinformation and limit the
spread of illegal content. E.U. offi-
cials said during a news confer-
ence Friday that they will be watch-
ing to make sure Twitter complies
with these new regulations, known
as the Digital Services Act.
<In Europe, the bird will fly by
our rules,= Thierry Breton, an E.U.
commissioner who has helped
oversee tech policy, tweeted Fri-
day, a reference to Twitter9s bird
logo. Musk earlier had tweeted
that <the bird= had been uncaged.
Alex Stamos, a former Facebook
chief security officer who now
leads the Stanford Internet Ob-
servatory, said the pitfalls and
complexities of online content
moderation will quickly become
apparent to Musk, whose other
business ventures, such as Tesla
and SpaceX, could require inter-
action with foreign governments
seeking to gain influence over
Twitter9s reach.
With so much <at stake in Chi-
na,= Stamos tweeted, <what is
Musk going to do with these public
requests to lift labeling on state
propagandists and private asks to
stop looking for covert influence
campaigns?=
One person who remained no-
ticeably absent from Twitter on
Friday was Trump, whose account
was indefinitely suspended be-
cause of fears of violent incite-
ment after a crowd of his support-
ers stormed the U.S. Capitol on
Jan. 6, 2021.
Musk has said he would end
lifetime bans, including Trump9s,
on the basis that they weaken
Twitter9s role as a platform for free
expression. Trump, however, told
Fox News on Friday that he would
stay on his own company9s smaller
Twitter clone, Truth Social, even if
he was invited back, adding, <I
don9t think Twitter can be success-
ful without me.=
Trump9s Truth Social account
has roughly 4 million followers, a
small fraction of the 88 million
followers he had at his Twitter peak.

obituary for Angela Lansbury, < 8Murder, She Wrote9
star slew viewers on TV, film, stage,= wrecked the
experience of viewing Lansbury9s perhaps greatest
performance for those who have not yet enjoyed the
exquisite pleasure of watching the original, 1962
version of <The Manchurian Candidate.=
To give away the subtle, intricate and dazzlingly
original plot of one of the very best political
thrillers, with its sharp acting, brilliant cinematog-
raphy, witty writing, deeply disturbing premise and
almost unbearably taut pacing was both unkind and
unnecessary.
By the way, a major reason the film fell from view
was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy
the following year. But it remains a model of
filmmaking 4 and of Lansbury9s superlative skills 4
that has unnerving relevance to our own times.

Getting The Post in the post? No thanks.
It has come at last. After 54 years, I can no longer
get the print edition of The Post delivered to my
doorstep. I received the email announcing that
home delivery in Frederick will now be handled by
the increasingly unreliable U.S. Postal Service.
Worse, the Sunday paper will come on Monday 4
along with the late mail. The premium digital
edition will be a sorry substitute for newsprint,
which brought me through Watergate, 9/11 and the
Trump disaster.
All good things come to an end.

Wentz deserves better treatment
The Oct. 10 Sports article <Wentz, Commanders
can9t convert in closing seconds against Titans= laid
the blame for Washington9s sad loss to Tennessee on
the shoulders of beleaguered quarterback Carson
Wentz, even referencing the irrelevant, end-of-game
interception in the headline.
After leading the offense on a heroic drive to the
2-yard line in the closing minutes, Wentz faced a very
difficult situation. Time constraints dictated not only
that passing was his only option but also that, to have
any chance, his target had to be in the end zone, both
of which the Titans9 defense surely knew. On the final
play, Wentz fired a dart right at the only spot that had
a chance of success. Only a defender9s lightning
reaction stymied this last-ditch effort.
To that point, Wentz had thrown for more yards
that day than all but one other quarterback, including
two touchdown tosses that had to be perfect to
succeed. His performance deserved better treatment.

such streak in
MLB history, with only the partly overlapping
10-year period of 1978 to 1987 exceeding it.
Comparing the pro sports leagues regarding the
likelihood of seeing either dynasties, on the one hand,
or different winners over time, on the other, makes for
great discussions. The different rules regarding salary
caps, drafts, free agency and playoff structures all play
a role. MLB certainly has its consistently good and
bad teams: As the article noted, the Astros have
reached six consecutive league championship series,
and we have seen a lot of the Dodgers, Braves and
Yankees in recent postseasons. But for the variety of
its ultimate World Series winners over time, perhaps
baseball is on a historic run.

At first, I thought the Russian players on my

Benjamin Dreyer, in the opening sentence of his
Oct. 16 Sunday Opinion essay, hoisted himself on
his own petard.
By writing, <I suppose, as a child, I learned . . .=
he placed <as a child= in apposition to <I,= and, in
so doing, he informed the reader that he is
currently a child. But the reader will be rightly
skeptical of that assertion. If Dreyer had not been
so spare with words, he might have added the
conjunction <that= after <I suppose,= thus joining
<I suppose= to <I learned= and leaving the reader
with the correct impression that <as a child= is
actually a clause modifying <I learned.= (Yes, I
wrote <actually,= and I don9t think it is a very wan

#MeToo article should not have
cast Ansari as similar to Weinstein
It was sad to see Aziz Ansari9s photo next to rapist
and abuser Harvey Weinstein on the front of the
Oct. 17 Style section [<Where are the men of
#MeToo?=]. As the writers acknowledged deep in
the article, Ansari was accused of nothing more
than an uncomfortable date. The article described
the incident as blurry, and noted that upon
reflection of the woman involved, it might have
been a misunderstanding. He did nothing to
deserve this prominent equivalency with the jailed
Weinstein.
Painting everyone who ever had a #MeToo
associated with them, however vaguely, with the
same brush is disgraceful.

The attack on Ms. Pelosi9s husband renews questions about politicians9 safety.
HERE IS much we still don9t
T know about the Friday attack on
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi9s
house. But the facts that have
emerged so far are horrifying and raise a
question Americans have had to ask too
often in recent years: Can the most
powerful country in the world protect its
leaders and their families?
In the early hours of Friday morning,
an assailant broke into Ms. Pelosi9s San
Francisco home and attacked her hus-
band, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer.
Mr. Pelosi was admitted into the hospital
with <significant= injuries but is expected

popular online news outlet Ezhednevnik
and he was fearless in exposing corrup-
tion, showing how fat cats and officials
had ripped off medical supplies meant
for the public during the pandemic. Now
he is paying a terrible price.
On Oct. 26, Judge Svetlana Bondaren-
ko of the Minsk City Court sentenced
Mr. Satsuk to eight years in prison. He has
been in pretrial detention since he was
detained Dec. 8. The authorities shut-
tered his website. According to the Belar-
usian Association of Journalists, he is
formally charged with <incitement of

thority= and <taking a bribe.= Those
charges are a sham. He is being punished
by the Belarus regime strongman Alexan-
der Lukashenko because he dared chal-
lenge the country9s kleptocratic power
structure.
According to the Belarus human rights
group Viasna, Mr. Satsuk9s reporting
touched a sensitive nerve. He unearthed
corruption that included kickbacks for
the supply of medical equipment; exam-
ined <the purchase of an unregistered
vaccine, which was actually tested on

cation of data, with the approval of the
Ministry of Health, on the spread of the
coronavirus in Belarus.
Moreover, Ezhednevnik gave extensive
coverage to Belarus9s stolen 2020 elec-
tion. That year, one of the prominent
candidates for president was Sergei Tikh-
anovsky, a popular YouTuber, who ran on
an anticorruption slogan of <Stop the

His wife, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, and

The biggest problem for Democrats? They9re bad at PR.
Regarding the Oct. 24 front-page article <Democrats fear
ground is shifting under midterm map=:
The Post notes the gains that Republicans have made by
attacking Democrats on issues such as the economy and
crime. The biggest problem Democrats face, however, is
themselves.
President Biden has had a strong start to his presidency.
Among the many highlights are getting funding to attack
climate change, passing a massive bill to repair our
infrastructure, enacting the Chips Act to boost the manufac-
ture of semiconductors in the United States, reducing the
unemployment rate from 6.4 percent to 3.5 percent, restoring
our relations with our allies while strengthening NATO, and
enabling Ukraine to defend itself against Russia.
Democrats rarely mention these achievements, apparently
because of concerns about issues such as inflation. It is
amazing that they don9t understand that inflation is an issue
on which they can attack Republicans, especially former
president Donald Trump.
Excessive government spending and a shortage of goods,
both of which happened under Mr. Trump, fueled inflation.
He added $7.8 trillion to the deficit. When covid-19 caused
people to stay home for months, it led to a drop in consumer
demand for goods. When consumer demand increased as
covid ebbed, production could not keep up because of a lack of

former president Donald Trump and right-wing
politics as part of the Second Coming, West
luxuriates in two $14 million ranches in Wyo-
ming and houses a car collection reportedly
worth $3.8 million.
But his financial empire is now coming down
on his head. He set his mouth in motion before
putting in gear whatever he has left of his
humanity and good sense, letting fly with
enough virulent antisemitism to warm the
cockles of a Nazi9s heart.
So corporate America is cutting West loose.
And so are American celebrities. Wrote author
Jessica Seinfeld on Instagram following his
rantings, <I support my Jewish friends and the
Jewish people.= I, too, have had my say about
antisemites like West.
But I can9t help but wonder where was the
world of commerce and the entertainment
industry when West was working his way up the
financial ladder by pushing sexual misconduct
and violence against Black women? I9ll tell you
where.
They were right there with him, reaping the
financial rewards from shows and songs that
celebrated the n-word galore. How could they
forget his song <N----- in Paris=? And every
fashion house executive, Hollywood mogul and
corporate headquarters financing enterprises
like West9s knows it.
But that also includes those who buy his
music, wear his clothing apparel and envy his
wealth 4 however he gained it.
West9s mental health has been a source of
questions and reporting for several years.
During a recent interview, he was asked wheth-
er he suffered from any form of mental illness.
He said in reference to his hospitalization in
2016 for a psychiatric emergency, <I believe that
I suffered from exhaustion. I suffered from
being lied to constantly by the people around
me, by my management, by my ex-wife, and I
believe those things can drive anyone to a point
of maximum exhaustion.= He added, <But I also
believe that I9m extremely brilliant, and I9m here
to make the world a better place. And I9m tired
of the left media trying to pick on me.=
In an op-ed this week for the Financial Times,
Ari Emanuel, chief executive of the Endeavor
media company, wrote: <Some of West9s behav-
iour has been dismissed over time, citing mental
illness. . . . However, mental illness is not an
excuse for racism, hatred or anti-Semitism.=
A few years ago, I stepped out of the shadows
of my depression. Mental illness is, I well know,
a hard battle to wage alone. I also know that
hate and bigotry are no excuse. If it9s true that
West has mental health challenges, he needs
help, not enabling. Which is what those who
have sponsored (and those who have bought)
what he has served up have been doing.
West, damnably and sadly, didn9t get here on
his own. He had help.

DeSantis unleashes
his voter-fraud squad.
Perplexity ensues.
ony Patterson was in his front yard in Tampa when
T state police arrested him and walked him to their
squad car, accusing him of voter fraud and practical-
ly apologizing as they did.
<What is voter fraud?= a bewildered Patterson wondered
in a scene captured by the officers9 bodycams. <I didn9t do
nothing to nobody.=
With his hands in cuffs, Patterson, an ex-felon, asked the
obvious: <Why would you all let me vote, if I wasn9t able to
vote?= An officer, seemingly perplexed, replied, <I don9t know,
buddy.=
Patterson added, <And why y9all doing this now?=
That9s no mystery. It9s high season for Florida9s craven
brand of politics, played out cynically for that portion of
America still convinced the 2020 presidential election was
rigged.
Patterson was one of 20 former felons who served as the
opening act for Florida9s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis,
BY CLAY JONES
and his newly created Office of Election Crimes and Security.
Election cheats will <pay the price,= DeSantis declared at
an August news conference, announcing the arrests. The
governor hedged his bets, though, putting the cases of these
befuddled defendants in the hands of state prosecutors,
rather than less malleable county ones.
Now, with the arrests drawing fresh attention after the
Tampa Bay Times obtained bodycam footage last week of
three people being arrested, the state9s handful of cases
appears to be collapsing on two separate fronts.
Why? Because the ex-felons were allowed to register to
vote ahead of the 2020 election and received either voter
cards or mail-in ballots. The three shown on video appear
genuinely confused over accusations that they voted illegally.
Nobody told them, it seems, that as convicted murderers
or sex offenders they were the exception to the 2018 state
constitutional amendment that returned voting rights to
ex-felons. Most of the other defendants shared similar
stories, similarly baffled.
This poses a major problem for DeSantis and his voter-
fraud-sleuthing officials because the statute is clear. To
succeed, prosecutors must prove that suspected cheats
intended to con the government by willfully submitting false
voter registration forms.
But if you apply for a voting card under your own name
and the government sends it to you, the clear implication is
BY DAVID HORSEY FOR THE SEATTLE TIMES
that you have the right to vote. Some of those arrested
ultimately received a letter telling them they couldn9t vote.
But the letters didn9t arrive until long after the 2020 election.
<They were told they could apply, and they were given
voter registration applications,= Mark Rankin, a lawyer
representing Romona Oliver, one of the defendants, told me.
<Then they got voter registration cards and they thought
they could vote. We don9t prosecute people for honest
mistakes.=
Hard to fault people for not knowing the ins-and-outs of
the state9s voter laws. In Florida, Republican lawmakers like
to tinker with election rules, seemingly to make it harder to
vote 4 especially harder, critics say, for Black people.
Did I mention that most of the 20 arrested on fraud
charges were Black?
But there9s more. Another reason the charges will likely
fizzle emerged last week, when a Miami judge tossed out the
first case for lack of jurisdiction. Because the defendant,
Robert Lee Wood, voted only in Miami-Dade County and not
two different counties, the state has zero claim to the case,
the judge said.
This was good news for Wood because voter fraud carries a
sentence of up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of
$5,000.
Who is to blame for this mess? The state. The Florida
secretary of state, who is in charge of elections, has no easy
way to check whether a felon is allowed to vote, Neil Volz, the
BY JEFF DANZIGER FOR THE RUTLAND HERALD
deputy director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition,
told me.
Advocates are demanding that the state invest in a speedy
voter verification system like those used in many other
states, Volz said. It would provide to election officials, and in
turn voters and county election supervisors, accurate and
timely information about who is registered and eligible to
vote.
<The system is broken in fundamental ways, and by
criminalizing voting we are making a broken system worse,=
Volz said.
None of this is new. When Republican Jeb Bush was
Florida9s governor, he drew criticism when his effort to purge
the voter rolls of ex-felons and dead people ahead of the 2000
election turned up non-felons and felons from other states.
When Sen. Rick Scott (R) was governor, he tried in 2012 to
weed noncitizens from the voting rolls. Again, it failed
miserably. A World War II vet and naturalized citizens
received you-can9t-vote letters.
Voter fraud, while rare, does exist. And yet, most of the
scant examples of voter fraud since the GOP turned it into a
rallying cry almost invariably involve Republicans, though
you wouldn9t know that from the party9s talking points.
This is true in Florida. Before DeSantis created his fraud
squad, local Florida officials had charged four residents of
the Villages, the mega-retirement community and Donald
Trump stronghold in Sumter County, with voting twice in
2020 4 in Florida and in other states. None of them were
Democrats.

Hiles was arrested. In speaking
with the FBI, Hiles mentioned
something that caught the atten-

court records: <following the riot

The FBI then took a look at
Hiles9s phone, and found a screen-
shot of a Facebook message sent to
Hiles by U.S. Capitol Police Officer
Michael A. Riley on Jan. 7. <Hey

Riley and Hiles continued to
message until Hiles9s arrest, court
records show. Then Riley deleted
all of his messages with his Face-
book friend, whom he9d never met
in person. In August 2021, Riley
was indicted on two felony counts
of obstructing a federal grand jury,
for his original message to Hiles
and the deletion of their conversa-
tions.
After hearing five days of evi-
dence, and then deliberating for
parts of four days, a federal jury
convicted Riley on Friday after-
noon on one of the obstruction
counts, for deleting his Facebook
messages with Hiles, and failed to
reach a verdict on the issue of his
initial message to Hiles. Two ju-
rors, who declined to give their
names, said the jury was dead-
locked 11-1 in favor of conviction
on the message count.
Riley, 51, was not in the court-
room for the verdict because of a
previously scheduled medical ap-
pointment. His attorney, Christo-
pher Macchiaroli, declined to
comment. U.S. District Judge Amy
Berman Jackson declared a mis-
trial on the unresolved count, and
she still must rule on Macchiaroli9s
motion for acquittal filed at the
close of evidence.
Some Capitol Police officers
were criticized for their actions on
Jan. 6, accused of taking selfies

wrongdoing by 20 of them, and
disciplined six for conduct unbe-

New Saddleback pastor9s vision for a global church 4 and female clergy
BY D EEPA B HARATH
lake forest, calif. 4 On a
recent Sunday morning, in the
sanctuary of Saddleback Church,
lead Pastor Andy Wood opened
with a shout-out to the congrega-
tion9s newest female teaching
pastor: his wife, Stacie Wood.
It has been about a month
since Andy Wood, 41, succeeded
Pastor Rick Warren, author of the
blockbuster bestseller <The Pur-
pose Driven Life= and one of the
most renowned figures in evan-
gelical Christianity, who founded
Saddleback in California9s Or-
ange County nearly 43 years ago
4 before Wood was born. Today,
it9s a multisite ministry reaching
about 40,000 people worldwide.
Despite the difference in age and
experience, what Warren and
Wood have in common is their
commitment to a global church
and nurturing female pastors.
In an interview, Wood out-
lined his grand vision to build on
Warren9s legacy and take Saddle-
back to the biggest cities in the
United States and the world. He
said he9ll encourage men and
women to preach 4 an approach
at odds with the male-leadership
policies of the Southern Baptist
Convention, the largest Protes-
tant denomination in the coun-
try, with which Saddleback has
been aligned since its inception.
Wood also has had to deal with
allegations of authoritarian lead-
ership and hostile church merg-
ers in the San Francisco Bay area,
where he led Echo Church, a
3,000-strong multisite congrega-
tion, for the past 14 years. He has
denied those allegations and was
cleared by the search firm that
Saddleback retained for the hir-
ing process.
The SBC was one of Echo
Church9s supporters, which now
adds to the awkwardness of Sad-
dleback9s position on female pas-
tors.
Last year, Warren ordained
three women as pastors, prompt-
ing the denomination to consider
expelling the megachurch, the
second-largest in its fold. Warren

and a denial of our basic civil
rights.=
Caste is a social hierarchy to
which people are assigned at
birth. Dalits, sometimes pejora-
tively called <untouchables,= face
prejudice and violence in South
Asian countries despite laws
against caste discrimination. In
India, the caste system originally
applied to Hindus but now ap-
plies to people of various reli-
gions.
California State, the nation9s
largest four-year public univer-
sity system, announced in Janu-
ary that it had added caste to its
anti-discrimination policy after
years of activism from Dalits. The
policy now identifies caste as a
subcategory of race and ethnicity.
That university system fol-
lowed the lead of several other
colleges, including Brandeis Uni-
versity and Colby College, that

debated the issue, <We have to
decide if we will treat each other
as allies or adversaries.=
Wood told the Associated
Press that the Bible <teaches that
men and women were given
spiritual gifts by God.=
<The church should be a place
where both men and women can
exercise those spiritual gifts,= he
said. <My wife has the spiritual
gift of teaching, and she is really
good. People often tell me she9s
better than me when it comes to
preaching, and I9m really glad to
hear that.=
Wood expressed gratitude for
the SBC9s partnership at Saddle-
back and Echo and hopes that it
will continue. He wants to ensure
that on his watch, Saddleback <is
empowered for men and women
to lead.=
<I9m not looking to engage in
denominational battles,= he said.
<I9d really like to be a unifier of
people 4 to help, love and sup-
port pastors in the SBC.=
Wood9s interest in honoring
Warren9s legacy is a positive sign,
said Scott Thumma, professor of
the sociology of religion at Hart-
ford International University for
Religion and Peace, who has
studied megachurches.
<Following some of the pat-
terns at other megachurches, like
having multiple sites and em-
bracing diversity, are good steps,=
Thumma said. <The key here is to
probably not make too many
waves right away but allow the
people of Saddleback to know
him as a human being.=
He said Saddleback9s relation-
ship with the SBC has been
<tenuous at best= because War-
ren didn9t take an active role in
denominational politics.
<I don9t see that changing
under the new pastor,= Thumma
said. <If anything, SBC needs
Saddleback, because the denomi-
nation has been recording de-
clines for the last 12 years.=
Wood9s easy, welcoming man-
ner and bright smile during ser-
mons are reminiscent of War-
ren9s iconic preaching style. The
new pastor typically sports a
goatee, casual clothes and sneak-
ers as he takes the stage. During a
recent 40-minute sermon about

like this to get people to be paying
much more attention and to put

Opinions on naming caste as a
protected characteristic tend to
diverge along the lines of age and
immigration status, Sundaram
said, with immigrants less likely
to support such a move than
Hindus whose families have lived
in the United States for genera-
tions. Nearly 9 in 10 U.S. Hindus
are immigrants, according to the
Pew Research Center. But Sun-

Sundaram, who supports mak-
ing caste a protected characteris-
tic, said critiquing Hinduism 4
even in a country where Hindus
are a minority 4 is not akin to
promoting Hinduphobia. She
said most discrimination against
Hindus is based on the fact that
many are South Asian, rather
than on their religion, and that
Hinduphobia is not a widespread
problem.
Most importantly, she said, she
disagrees with the Hindu Ameri-

But Lance Hough, whose

Hough was a creative arts pastor

original videos into its worship.
<When Echo took over, they
made it clear there was no desire
to do any of that,= Hough said,
asserting that the merger de-
stroyed what made his church
special. He resigned from Echo in
September 2020, citing an un-
healthy work environment.
Lori Adams-Brown, a former
associate pastor at Echo Church9s
Sunnyvale campus, said she felt
<belittled, bullied and intimidat-
ed= by Wood. She said she and
her husband, Jason Adams-
Brown, a missions and church

tried to portray he is confident

goal has been to ensure commu-

THE DISTRICT
City lags on but a>rms
goal to end tra>c deaths
BY L UZ L AZO
The District on Thursday is-
sued a report laying out measures
to improve road safety, while also
acknowledging it has <fallen
short= in its work to end traffic
deaths by 2024, a goal Mayor Mu-
riel E. Bowser set seven years ago.
<Our original target of achiev-
ing zero deaths by 2024 was ambi-
tious and has not been without its
challenges,= Bowser (D) said in an
update of her Vision Zero safety
initiative, which aims to reduce
traffic-related fatalities and severe
injuries.
Fatal crashes have been trend-
ing up since Bowser made the
pledge in 2015. The increase has
come alongside the administra-
tion9s push for stricter traffic rules,
including reduced speed limits,
more speed cameras and higher
fines for traffic violators.
The city recorded 40 traffic
deaths last year, a 14-year high, up
from 26 deaths in the year Bowser
launched Vision Zero. So far this
year, 26 people have been killed in
traffic crashes in the city, down
from 36 at the same time last year,
D.C. police records show.
The Vision Zero report, issued
by the District Department of
Transportation, promises actions
and resources over the next two
years with a focus on high-crash
corridors. The plan calls for more
traffic cameras, a reevaluation of
speed limits in more corridors, an
expansion of the DDOT traffic-pa-
trol program, and the deployment
of more police to school zones dur-
ing arrival and dismissal times.
The Bowser administration
said the city also will shift more
resources and attention to address
equity concerns, noting that more
traffic fatalities occur in Wards 7
and 8 4 areas that also have the
city9s highest rates of poverty.
A Washington Post analysis earli-
er this year found that nearly half of
traffic deaths last year were in those
two wards, which contain less than
one-quarter of the city9s population.
The Vision Zero report indicates
that the annual rate of fatal crashes
in Wards 7 and 8 are 8.2 and 9.6,
respectively, per 100,000 residents.
In Wards 1 and 3, the rates are 1.9
and 0.9, respectively.
The report noted progress in re-
ducing fatal crashes in the past two
decades after the number of traffic
fatalities peaked at 69 in 2003. The
city9s rate is <on par or better than
other large U.S. cities,= the report
said, while adding that <our prog-
ress has fallen short of our goal to
achieve zero deaths by 2024, as
originally planned in 2015.=
Residents and advocates for
traffic safety for years have criti-
cized the city9s commitment to the
program, citing perceived short-
comings in the speed at which the

As we near mid-autumn, Friday,
perhaps appropriately, seemed a

sitional season, neither warm nor

bright moments.
In a city where we often talk of

Schrader, then the health de-
partment9s chief operating officer,
said his agency had done <a lot of
due diligence on this.= He said
Optum not only was the low bid-
der, but its proposal had been eval-
uated as best on technical aspects.
The audit said the state9s evalu-
ation of the proposals did not in-
clude an adequate review of Op-
tum9s prior experience, qualifica-
tions and subcontractors. Audi-
tors found state officials also failed
to adequately scrutinize a key sub-
contractor, InfoMC, that would be
responsible for the most critical
aspect of the contract, the claims
processing system. In 2018, a
county mental health board in
Ohio withdrew from its contract
with InfoMC for failing to process
claims satisfactorily. The audit re-
port said health departments in
California and Washington also
faced serious issues with InfoMC.

city is embracing safety changes.
Some critics say the efforts have
been too focused on adding auto-
mated enforcement and fines, and
in making driving conditions
more difficult while yielding few
benefits to pedestrians and other
non-drivers. Others say the city
has been too slow to target aggres-
sive drivers or redesign streets
prone to speeding.
Conor Shaw, a Northeast D.C.
resident and advocate for safer
streets, praised Bowser9s plan
Thursday for its focus on arterial
roads and for adding transparen-
cy about crash data. Shaw said
that while the report acknowledg-
es the challenges in reducing traf-
fic deaths and injuries, he is en-
couraged the city continues to em-
brace the goal of eliminating them
<and sets out a robust and compre-
hensive strategy to get there.=
<The proof is in the product 4
not the plan,= he said. <The actual
street-design changes, improved
enforcement and investments in
transit are what will make the
difference.=
The District last month reduced
speed limits from 30 mph to 25
mph on some major commuter cor-
ridors, including New York Avenue
NE and Connecticut Avenue NW.
Two years ago, Bowser set the de-
fault speed limit on D.C. streets at
20 mph, down from 25 mph, citing
concerns about speeding and other
dangerous driving behaviors.
Bowser is also pushing a mod-
ernization and expansion of the
city9s automated enforcement
program, promising to more than
triple the number of traffic camer-
as by the end of next year. The
cameras would target speeding,
drivers who run red lights and
stop signs, and those who illegally
use bike and bus lanes or pass
school buses.
The D.C. Council last month
approved banning right turns on
red lights at all intersections be-
ginning in 2025, expanding
DDOT9s actions in recent years to
ban such turns at more than 100
intersections in school zones,
within downtown or near bike
lanes, where risks to pedestrians
are highest.
The District9s renewed ap-
proach comes with a new Vision
Zero website, which provides in-
formation on traffic safety proj-
ects as well as crash data. While
this year9s update sets strategies
over the next two years, Bowser
said in the report that <a compre-
hensive refresh= of the program is
expected in 2024.
In a statement, DDOT Director
Everett Lott said, <We know our
efforts must ever-evolve by apply-
ing lessons-learned and data-driv-
en solutions, especially to our
most vulnerable street users and
populations.=
But with a high of 60, those
without windbreakers were re-
warded. The afternoon felt com-
fortable enough for many. That
seemed so, even though the aver-
age high was five degrees warmer.
As for the sky, it may have
seemed more cloudy than not, yet
rewarding moments were avail-
able for the patient.
Possibly sunset symbolized the
day. A pale blue sky bore a tint
suggesting a slightly faded, newly
found depiction of a day in the
Renaissance featuring a delicacy
of color that escaped extremes.
State officials did not ensure the
claims processing system worked
before its January 2020 launch,
the audit said. The system couldn9t
process health-care service autho-
rizations, improperly denied valid
claims and was unable to generate
payment information using
health-care industry standard re-
porting forms, auditors said.
The deficiencies led Optum to
make $1.06 billion in payments
during 2020 based on estimates
from the prior year. Since then,
doctors, counselors and hospitals
have had to reconcile estimated
payments with actual claims and
settle the difference.
Lori Doyle, public policy direc-
tor for the Community Behavioral
Health Association of Maryland,
which represents 105 organiza-
tions, said the audit confirms
alarms service providers have
been sounding for two years. At
every turn, she said, the state and
Optum blamed providers who
have decades of experience filing
electronic claims.

PROUD BOYS FROM B1
charged with conspiring to ob-
struct an official proceeding of
Congress, according to the rec-
ords 4 initially posted publicly
by the court but removed from
public view. The charge is the
same crime admitted to by Mat-
thew Greene, of Syracuse, N.Y.,
and Charles Donohoe, of Kern-
ersville, N.C., two other cooperat-
ing Proud Boys who were previ-
ously charged with Tarrio or one
of his co-defendants. An attorney
listed in the record for the un-
named defendant did not re-
spond to requests for comment.
Federal charges of conspiracy
to obstruct Congress and to en-
gage in sedition carry the same
20-year maximum penalty. The
sedition charge is rarely used and
carries more symbolic weight.
Stewart has been identified as
an <upper tier= Proud Boys lead-
ership member in government
court filings, and his home was
searched in March on the same
day that Tarrio was arrested on
charges that he and at least the
four others <directed, mobilized
and led= a crowd of 200 to 300
supporters onto Capitol grounds,
LancasterOnline earlier report-
ed.
The same government filing
that disclosed the search at the
time Tarrio was charged also
revealed a search of the home of
Jeremy Bertino, 43, of Belmont,
N.C. Bertino 4 previously identi-
fied as <Individual A= or <Person
One= in Tarrio9s charging papers
4 this month became the group9s
first member to plead guilty to
seditious conspiracy, seeking le-
niency in exchange for <substan-
tial cooperation.=
In court on Friday, Assistant
U.S. Attorney Jason McCullough
specified that prosecutors have
issued a plea offer to all five
defendants. But his request to
describe the offer in general
terms drew objections from at-
torneys for co-defendants Rehl
and Ethan Nordean, of the Seat-
tle area, and was denied by the
judge.
<It9s a proposed plea, which
isn9t even complete,= lacking for
example a summary of admitted
facts, Rehl attorney Carmen Her-
nandez said.
The U.S. push to secure pleas
came as Tarrio attorney Jauregui
accused prosecutors of deliber-
ately timing the public an-
nouncement of Bertino and
Stewart9s pleas. Jauregui, who is
seeking to move Tarrio9s trial out
of Washington, argued that the
drumbeat of cooperator agree-
ments is magnifying already <un-

Providers hired office workers
to navigate Optum9s faulty sys-
tems using money that otherwise
would have been spent on clinical
staff, she said. The providers serve
low-income adults and children
who receive Medicaid and don9t
have many options for mental ill-
ness and substance abuse treat-
ment; clients often endure pover-
ty and food insecurity.
Doyle said the problems with
Optum hit just as the pandemic
began, shutting down many pro-
viders and making it impossible
for many patients to access ser-
vices.
<It was a one-two punch: the
pandemic and Optum,= she said.
Sondra Tranen, executive vice
president at Partnership Develop-
ment Group Rehabilitation Ser-
vices, a community behavioral
health-care company serving Bal-
timore city and county and Mont-
gomery and Prince George9s coun-
ties, said in an interview Friday

making it impossible for them to
receive a fair trial.
< 8Enrique Tarrio lieutenants
have pleaded guilty to seditious
conspiracy.9 It9s all over the place,
it9s nonstop, and it9s so close to
the trial,= Jauregui said. <These
plea agreements by Bertino and
by Stewart, they were back in
June, and they were just released
now.=
In plea papers, Bertino said
Proud Boys leaders used an en-
crypted messaging service to cre-
ate a chat group titled <Ministry
of Self Defense= (M.O.S.D) and
used it to assemble their plans for
blocking Congress9 certification
of President Biden9s win in the
electoral college.
Bertino said he and others
<agreed that the election had
been stolen, that the purpose of
traveling to Washington, D.C., on
Jan. 6, 2021, was to stop the
certification of the electoral col-
lege vote, and that M.O.S.D. lead-
ers were willing to do whatever it
would take, including using force
against police and others, to
achieve that objective.=
Tarrio, of Miami, and co-
defendants Rehl, Nordean, Joe
Biggs, of Ormond Beach, Fla.,
and Dominic Pezzola, of Roches-
ter, N.Y., have pleaded not guilty
to all charges.
Tarrio, who was not in Wash-
ington that day, has denied
wrongdoing and denied that his
group planned to commit vio-
lence that day.
Jauregui argued Friday that no
other Jan. 6 defendant has re-
ceived the negative publicity that
Tarrio has, and that he would be
singled out for punishment as a
political <surrogate= for Presi-
dent Donald Trump by jurors
selected from the District, which
voted 95 percent in favor of his
2020 opponent.
<I would submit there are resi-
dents in D.C. dying to get on this
jury, dying to lie, dying to say they
would be fair and impartial, dy-
ing to seek some retribution
against 8white supremacists9 or
8insurrectionists,9 because that9s
what they9ve been told for
months and months by leaders
and people they admire,= Jau-
regui said. <People are going to go
in there, say they can be fair and
impartial, all the while going in
with a hidden agenda.=
Kelly said he would take under
advisement Tarrio9s motion to
move the trial, while saying the
defense faced <an uphill climb=
given the legal precedent that
judges cannot move trials before
jury selection for alleged political
bias. The judge said President
Richard M. Nixon9s chief of staff,
that delayed reimbursements
made it impossible for clinicians
to assume the financial risk of
taking on new patients.
PDG serves about 1,200 people
a year for psychiatric rehabilita-
tion, targeted case management
and therapy. Many are adults with
serious mental illness who have
often been in the public mental
health system for their entire lives
and are at high risk for hospital-
ization.
As Optum has failed to live up to
the contract, auditors said, the
state has not collected the full
damages it9s entitled to because
officials have feared it would trig-
ger litigation or cause Optum9s
performance to further suffer.
In late 2020, state health offi-
cials informed Optum that it still
had not provided a functional sys-
tem, auditors said. The contract
allows the state to collect $25,000
per day for Optum9s failure to be
operational. These and other dam-
ages would add up to $20.5 mil-
lion, but the state declined to col-
lect it, the audit said.
EVELYN HOCKSTEIN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST
H.R. Haldeman, went to trial for
the Watergate coverup in Wash-
ington, despite pretrial polling
indicating that 61 percent of local
residents thought he was guilty.
The question isn9t about hav-
ing opinions but whether poten-
tial jurors can put aside their
views and render a verdict fairly
and impartially based on the
facts and law as presented at trial
against individual defendants
charged, prosecutors said.
Among those called to serve in
the ongoing seditious conspiracy
trial of a second group charged
with seditious conspiracy in the
Jan. 6 Capitol breach, the Oath
Keepers, only 5 percent an-
swered 8no9 to that question, Kelly
noted.
<As much as I hear your argu-
ment that, 8Jeez, judge, if we don9t
get [a trial moved] in this case,
we9re never going to get it in any
other case,9 I think that on the
other hand, . . . it9s going to be a
very unusual case that warrants
this,= Kelly said.

Teen shot on train at
Petworth Metro station
A 15-year-old boy was shot and
wounded aboard a train at the
Petworth Metro station Friday,
authorities said.
The shooting occurred about
8:40 a.m. on a Green Line train
after an <altercation between a
group of juveniles aboard,=
according to Metro Transit Police.
The teenage victim was taken to a
hospital with a gunshot wound to
one leg. The injury is not life-
threatening, police said.
Transit police said they are
searching for the assailant. The
shooting briefly resulted in rail
service being suspended between
the Fort Totten and U Street
stations.
Crime on Metro and other
subway systems has risen during
the pandemic. Aggravated
assaults through September on
Metro were up 25 percent over
the first nine months of last year,
according to transit police.

A 19-year-old struck on his
bicycle by a hit-and-run driver in
Montgomery County has died as a
result of his injuries, officials said
Friday. The victim, William
Villavicencio, was struck Sunday.
<William was a happy young
man, searching to find his way,
like most 19-year-olds,= said a
family friend, Pastor Paula
Moutsos from Pathways Baptist
Church. <This was the son of a
single mom who has raised three

Speaking at a news conference
Friday, Montgomery County
Assistant Police Chief Marc
Yamada said Villavicencio was
crossing Georgia Avenue on his
bike about 11 p.m. Sunday near
Janet Road when he was struck
by a southbound car, described as
dark red or maroon.
The car, which left the scene,
was possibly a 2003-2007 Honda
Accord, Yamada said, and it
probably has damage to the right
front bumper and is missing its
right-side mirror.
Villavicencio was hospitalized
with critical injuries. He died
Friday, police said.
Police asked anyone with
information about the hit-and-
run to call 240-773-6620 or 866-

Quadriplegic mom hopes documentary shatters stigmas, empowers others

TWINS FROM B1
<It took me two or three years to
get back to a place of harmony and
acceptance,= she said.
Then she fell in love with a
man.
She met Rudy Izzie in 2015 on a
dating app, and after their first
meetup, they were both smitten.
<For our first date, we went to a
restaurant in Old Town Alexan-
dria, then visited the National
Portrait Gallery,= she said. <It was
an instant attraction.=
<Her disability was not a deal-
breaker 4 we didn9t even talk
about it for the first couple of
dates,= added Rudy Izzie, 38. <We
really connected. And of course, I
thought she was very beautiful.=
The pair found they had a lot in
common: they both grew up in
Virginia and loved the outdoors,
and Dani worked in digital mar-
keting while Rudy was in digital
sales.
<He loved me for who I am,=
Dani said. <I9d been rejected a lot
in the past. But he had no qualms
about me having a disability.=
They married in 2018 and
moved into a home in Culpeper
County, Va.
Soon, the couple was facing a
predicament. They had always
wanted a family. Could she as a
quadriplegic provide her children
with the care they needed?
<I had some insecurity and
doubt, wondering, 8How am I go-
ing to take care of a baby if I can
barely take care of myself?9 = she
said. <Everyday life was already
challenging.=
But as she thought deeper
about it, she decided that while
her husband helps her put on her
pants and shoes in the morning,
she does a lot to take care of
herself 4 and her husband, as
well.
<I came to realize, 8Well, I do
take care of myself 4 I9m healthy,
I9m happy and I9m alive, and I9ve
learned to do things in different
ways,9 = she said. <Even though I
had a profound disability, I was
actually pretty competent.=
Rudy was just as excited as she
was to have a baby, but they didn9t
know if it was a good idea medi-
cally.
Their fears were put to rest by
her doctor, who told her that a
spinal cord injury would not pre-
vent her from having children, she
said.
When she became pregnant in
2019, she received the shocking
news at her first ultrasound that
she was having twins.
<I said, 8You have to be [kid-
ding] me,9 = Izzie recalled. <I had
developed a plan on how to take
care of one baby. And now there
were two?=
<It was definitely a surprise, but
it was also magical,= Rudy added.
<I9d always wanted to have two
kids.=
The Izzies consulted with a
team of doctors led by Robert
Fuller, a maternal-fetal medicine
specialist at UVA Health. They
reassured Dani that she could
have a healthy pregnancy with
careful monitoring.
<I9ve taken care of a variety of
people with mobility issues over
the years, and it9s quite rare to
have a quadriplegic mom with
twins,= Fuller said. <In fact, there
are only a handful in the world.=
Fuller said he told Dani the
determination that brought her to
his office was a good indication
she was going to be fine.
Spinal cord injuries often cause
a fluctuation in blood pressure,
Fuller said, noting that high blood
pressure could have put Dani at
risk for a heart attack or stroke,
and low blood pressure could
have deprived the twins of oxygen.
As it turned out, Dani had an-
other stressful challenge.
<The pandemic came along and
my lungs only work at 30 percent
of normal,= she said. <So I had to
stay really isolated to avoid get-
ting sick.=
When she went into labor six
weeks early, <I could feel some-
thing similar to contractions,= she
said. <Even with paralysis, I do
have some sensation in my body.=
Then, on April 24, 2020 4 at the
height of the coronavirus pan-
demic 4 Izzie became one of the
rare quadriplegic women in the
world to give birth to twins 4
Lavinia and Giorgiana Izzie.
Her daughters were delivered
via an emergency Caesarean sec-
tion and placed next to her face for
a moment before they were
whisked away to the neonatal in-
tensive care unit, she said.
<They weighed four pounds
each, and it was really emotional
and joyful to see them,= Izzie said.
The girls are now healthy and
talkative 21/2-year-olds who love to
climb all over their mom on the
floor and read storybooks, Rudy
noted.
<They go to day care while we
work, then we all enjoy quality
time together,= he said. <We9re
cherishing these days because we
know it goes fast.=
Their story is the subject of
<Dani9s Twins,= a 39-minute docu-
mentary that will be shown Nov. 3
at the Virginia Film Festival in
Charlottesville. The <Dani9s
Twins= website says it.s <a one-in-
a-billion story of disabled preg-
nancy and parenting.=
<I9m hoping that the film will
have an impact on how people
view parents with disabilities,=
said Dani, who writes a blog about
her life as a disabled mom and was
one of the documentary9s pro-
ducers.
<The most disabling thing is
not my medical diagnosis, but
stigma and social attitudes,= she
said. <People rarely see disabled
people represented in caregiving
roles. I want them to see me and
realize that disability is just a
normal part of life.=
Lavinia and Giorgiana enjoy
snuggling in her lap, reading sto-
ries and going for wheelchair
rides, she said. The family makes
frequent trips to the playground,
and dinner at home is always a
noisy affair.
<The girls are pure joy,= she
said. <Yes, there are challenges.
But I accept there are things that I

says she has learned to use her hands in some ways to take has partial use of her arms, she

<It9s really about how I set up
things in my home and how I
coordinate care,= she said. <Rudy
dresses the girls, and I pick out the
clothes and I9m the stylist. And I
also put the girls to bed.=
<We split up tasks in ways that
work for us,= she said.
Dani said she doesn9t like to
discuss what happened the day of
her accident because <then my
injury becomes the focus. I9m try-
ing to get people to see my disabil-
ity in a new way.=
<I want to make a point that
[disabled people] don9t owe an-
swers about our disabilities to
anyone, unless we feel like shar-
ing that,= she said.
<The whole reason I did this
film was to encourage other wom-
en with disabilities and give them
an example they rarely get to see,=
she added. <I want them to feel
empowered, whether it involves
becoming a parent or anything
else they9d like to do.=
She said she sometimes worries
about how her girls will deal with
her disability as they grow older.
Since she got pregnant, she9s
heard comments from strangers
saying she9s selfish, she can9t pos-
sibly be able to take care of her
daughters, and worse.
Izzie made a YouTube video
addressing these comments, say-
ing there9s a common sentiment
of <the moral policing of disabled
people and the belief that they do
not have autonomy over their own
bodies.=
Her beautiful babies are the
antidote to that, she said.
<The painful reality is that
there are stigmas out there about
disabled parents,= she said. <But if
[my girls] have a personality like
mine, they9ll be able to stand up to
that.=
<Everybody has their challeng-
es, whether they have a disability
or not,= Dani added. <I have high
hopes that my film will show we
all have universal experiences
that bring us together.=
<We need to be more support-
ive and inclusive of each other,=
she said.

JERRY LEE LEWIS, 87

Early rocker played with abandon 4 onstage and ob

BY T ERENCE M C A RDLE
Jerry Lee Lewis, the influential
singer and pianist whose unbri-
dled performances and scandal-
ous life defined the personal re-
bellion at the heart of rock-and-
roll music, died Oct. 28 at his
home in Southaven, Miss. He was
87.
His death was announced by
his publicist Zach Farnum, who
did not give a cause.
Mr. Lewis, a Louisiana tenant
farmer9s son and the cousin of
televangelist Jimmy Swaggart,
performed with a riveting, mania-
cal quality. On storming 1950s
hits such as <Great Balls of Fire,=
<Breathless= and <High School
Confidential,= he slashed up and
down the keys with his right
hand, deliberately sped up tem-
pos mid-song and often finished
songs onstage by standing on the
piano.
His high-energy music was a
distinctly Southern synthesis of
rhythm and blues, country, gospel
and boogie-woogie, and his barely
contained stage frenzy thrilled
and unnerved audiences. He was
called <The Killer= because of his
ability to completely overshadow
other performers. His Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame biography 4 he
was inducted in 1986 as a member
of the inaugural class 4 describes
him as <the wild man of rock and
roll, embodying its most reckless
and high-spirited impulses.=
<Among the early rock perform-
ers, Jerry Lee stands out as the
transcendent experience that
rock-and-roll can offer,= said rock
historian Albin Zak. <It was new
and scary in the 1950s. But now,
it9s expected, and whether it9s Da-
vid Lee Roth or Mick Jagger,
they9re all channeling Jerry Lee
Lewis.=
Mr. Lewis recorded in 1956 for
producer Sam Phillips at Sun Rec-
ords, an incubator of talent that
also launched the careers of Elvis
Presley, Johnny Cash and Carl
Perkins. The next year, Mr. Lewis
drew national attention and noto-
riety for his performance of his hit
song <Whole Lotta Shakin9 Goin9
On= on NBC9s <The Steve Allen
Show.=
Kicking the piano bench away
as he sang and played 4 host
Allen kicked it right back to him 4
he implored the young women in
the audience to <shake one time
for me,= then pounded the keys,
his heavily pomaded hair dan-
gling over his forehead in a sweaty
Jerry Lee Lewis at Madison Square Garden in New York in 1975. The piano-playing rock-and-roll
pioneer was known for hits including <Great Balls of Fire= and <Whole Lotta Shakin9 Goin9 On.=
mop.
<I love quality, and Jerry Lee
had it,= Allen later told an inter-
viewer. <The response was incred-
ible. We had him back, and he
blew everyone9s rating figures
away including Ed Sullivan9s. Jer-
ry Lee was a star from then on.=
A scandalous revelation soon
cast a shadow over Mr. Lewis9s
burst of success. During his 1958
tour of England, reporters discov-
ered that the 22-year-old enter-
tainer9s bride, Myra Gale Brown,
was also his 13-year-old cousin
and the daughter of his bass gui-
tarist, J.W. Brown. Mr. Lewis had
brought a grown woman to forge
the signature on the marriage
license.
Their marriage was his third.
The English press labeled him a
<cradle snatcher.= His tour of Brit-
ain was canceled, and Mr. Lewis
lost further bookings and nation-
al television appearances in the
United States. After the marital
scandal, Mr. Lewis struggled for
hits and radio airplay and gradu-
ally reestablished himself as a
country performer.
He placed 26 songs in the Bill-
board Top 10 country charts be-
tween 1968 and 1981, including
such honky-tonk weepers as <An-
other Place, Another Time= and
<What9s Made Milwaukee Famous
(Has Made a Loser Out of Me),= a
rocked-up version of <Me and
Bobby McGee= and a rendition of
the standard <Over the Rainbow.=
(Mr. Lewis was inducted into the
Country Music Hall of Fame in
October but did not attend the
ceremony because of poor health.)
In his personal life, Mr. Lewis
grew addicted to pills and alcohol
and was bedeviled by tragedy. Mr.
Lewis and Myra Gale Brown9s first
son, Steve Allen Lewis (named for
the TV host), drowned in the fam-
ily swimming pool at 3. Jerry Lee
Lewis Jr., a son from his second
marriage who was also the drum-
mer in Mr. Lewis9s touring band,
died in a car accident in 1973.
His estranged fourth wife, Jar-
en Gunn Pate, drowned in a swim-
ming pool in 1982. The following
year, Shawn Stephens Lewis, his
fifth wife, died of a methadone
overdose less than three months
after their wedding. Mr. Lewis
maintained that the methadone
had been prescribed to him to
wean him off addictive painkill-
ers.
A story in Rolling Stone maga-
zine highlighted discrepancies in
Mr. Lewis9s accounts of the inci-
dent and the police investigation.
The Stephens family called pub-
RENE PEREZ/ASSOCIATED PRESS
licly for an investigation, but a
grand jury found no evidence of
wrongdoing.
In 1976, Mr. Lewis shot and
wounded his bass player during a
drunken target practice at his 41st
birthday party. That same year, he
was charged with trespassing and
public drunkenness after being
arrested at the gates of Elvis Pres-
ley9s Graceland mansion with a
loaded gun. In 1977, he totaled his
Rolls-Royce while under the influ-
ence of tranquilizers. In 1979, the
IRS confiscated Mr. Lewis9s fleet
of cars in lieu of payment for back
taxes. Two years later, he canceled
a tour while being treated for
stomach cancer.
Raised as a Pentecostal, Mr.
Lewis often expounded on bibli-
cal scriptures, salvation and a be-
lief that performing rock-and-roll
had marked him for eternal dam-
nation. He initially refused to rec-
ord the song <Great Balls of Fire=
(1957), one of his biggest hits,
because he considered the title
blasphemous.
<I9m a sinner, I know it,= he told
writer Nick Tosches in 1979. <Soon
you and me are going to have to
reckon with the chilling hands of
death.=
In fact, Mr. Lewis lived on to
become one of rock-and-roll9s old-
est active performers and re-
ceived a Grammy Award for life-
time achievement in 2005.
Influenced by boogie-woogie
Jerry Lee Lewis was born in
Ferriday, La., on Sept. 29, 1935.
His father, Elmo, a part-time car-
penter, ran a family moonshine
still and farmed land owned by
Mr. Lewis9s wealthier uncle and
namesake, Lee Calhoun. Calhoun
also owned Ferriday9s biggest
business, a paper mill.
Mr. Lewis started playing piano
at 8, alongside two cousins, Mick-
ey Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart, at
the Calhoun house. Swaggart
would later become a singing tel-
evangelist, while Gilley would
emerge as a popular country and
pop performer with a style similar
to Mr. Lewis9s.
After hearing his son plunk out
<Jingle Bells,= Elmo Lewis saw his
promise and mortgaged the fam-
ily house to purchase a second-
hand piano.
As a youngster, Jerry Lee Lewis
hid behind the bar at Haney9s, an
African American juke joint, lis-
tening intently to blues and boo-
gie-woogie. Other early musical
influences included vaudevillian
Al Jolson and country singers
Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Wil-
liams 4 a trio of performers he
referred to as the <three great
song stylists.= Mr. Lewis later
called himself the fourth.
Mr. Lewis briefly enrolled at
Southwestern Bible Institute, a
Pentecostal school near Dallas,
but landed in trouble for playing a
slow, staid hymn in a boogie-woo-
gie style.
He took his first music job at 18,
alternating on drums and piano
at a honky-tonk in Natchez, Miss.
Mr. Lewis and his father sold eggs
to finance trips to Nashville and
Memphis to audition for record
companies. On their third trip to
Memphis, he secured an audition
at Sun Records.
Phillips recalled to writer Peter
Guralnick: <They put that tape on,
and I said, 8Where & did this man
come from?9 I mean he played that
piano with abandon. Between the
stuff he played and didn9t play, I
could hear the spiritual thing, too.
I told [engineer] Jack [Clem-
ent][to] just get him in here as fast
as you can.=
Although Mr. Lewis9s first Sun
single, a cover of the Ray Price
country hit <Crazy Arms,= didn9t
sell, he did tour Canada in support
of Sun artists Perkins and Cash.
Perkins advised the inexperi-
enced pianist to <turn around so
they can see you, make a fuss.=
His second single, <Whole Lot-
ta Shakin9 Goin9 On= (1957), previ-
ously a modest hit for blues singer
Big Maybelle in a slower rendi-
tion, made the pianist a star.
His marriages to Dorothy Bar-
ton, Jane Mitchum, Myra Gale
Brown and Kerrie McCarver end-
ed in divorce. In 2012 he married
Judith Brown. In addition to his
wife, survivors include four chil-
dren, Jerry Lee Lewis III, Ronnie
Lewis, Phoebe Lewis and Lori
Lancaster; a sister, Linda Gail
Lewis, who is also a singer and
pianist; and many grandchildren.
Tosches chronicled Mr. Lewis9s
tumultuous life in the 1982 novel-
istic biography <Hellfire.= A Holly-
wood film, <Great Balls of Fire=
(1989), recounted his Sun Records
years with Dennis Quaid as Mr.
Lewis and Winona Ryder as Myra
Gale Brown.
In later years, a 1956 jam ses-
sion at Sun among Mr. Lewis,
Presley, Cash and Perkins took on
a life of its own. The Memphis
Press-Scimitar proclaimed the
four <A Million Dollar Quartet=
and published a picture of the
four that has since become much
reproduced.
A recording of the session,
though never intended for com-
mercial release, was finally re-
leased in 1981 and later became
the subject of a Broadway tribute
show, <Million Dollar Quartet,= in
2010. Three of the principals 4
Cash, Perkins and Mr. Lewis 4
also recorded with fellow Sun art-
ist Roy Orbison as <The Class of
955= in 1986. A record of interviews
with the participants, <Interviews
With the Class of 955,= won the
Grammy Award for spoken word
recording the following year.
Mr. Lewis continued to per-
form in recent years, although
doctors limited his time onstage.
In 2006 he released the album
<Last Man Standing,= which fea-
tured duets with such performers
as Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, B.B.
King and Willie Nelson. Another
album of duets, <Mean Old Man,=
followed in 2010. Author and
journalist Rick Bragg wrote an <as
told to= biography, <Jerry Lee
Lewis: His Own Story,= in 2014.
Mr. Lewis was not known for
his public expressions of humility.
<There9s very few great talents
left,= he once said. <I9m not saying
I9m one of 9em. I9m saying I9m the
only one.=

JULES BASS, 87
Producer brought
Rudolph, Frosty to TV
life in holiday classics
BY E MILY L ANGER
Jules Bass, who helped make
Rudolph the most famous rein-
deer of all and bring Frosty to life
during a prolific animation ca-
reer that shaped the holiday TV
viewing traditions of generations
of youngsters, died Oct. 25 at a
senior living facility in Rye, N.Y.
He was 87.
A family member, Jennifer
Ruff, confirmed the death but did
not cite a cause.
Mr. Bass was half of the pro-
duction duo Rankin/Bass, an ani-
mation juggernaut he formed
with a partner, Arthur Rankin Jr.,
in 1960. Over the next several
decades, collaborating with ani-
mators and puppet-makers in Ja-
pan, Rankin/Bass produced a raft
of movies that became staples of
American childhood.
Few people have come of age
since the 1960s without watching
and re-watching the stop-motion
puppetry of <Rudolph the Red-
Nosed Reindeer,= which first
aired on NBC in 1964, or the
traditionally animated <Frosty
the Snowman,= which debuted in
1969 on CBS.
The story of Rudolph9s lumi-
nescent nose, his rejection by the
more ordinary members of his
herd and his heroic service to
Santa one foggy Christmas Eve
was based on a popular song
written by Johnny Marks and
recorded by Gene Autry in 1949.
(Marks, Rankin9s neighbor, had
borrowed the idea for the song
from a children9s book by Robert
L. May.)
The Rankin/Bass television
version featured Burl Ives singing
the title song and other Marks
numbers that entered the mod-
ern Christmas canon, among
them <Silver and Gold= and <A
Holly Jolly Christmas.= Writer Ro-
meo Muller expanded upon the
story of Rudolph to introduce
Hermey, the elf who yearns to be a
dentist, and the Island of Misfit
Toys.
The result, rendered in the
halting stop-motion animation
style that Rankin/Bass called An-
imagic, was an instant phenom-
enon 4 a classic in the category of
the later TV movies <A Charlie
Brown Christmas= (1965) and
<How the Grinch Stole Christ-
mas= (1966). Such was the nostal-
gia their production evoked that
when original Rudolph and Santa
puppets were placed for auction
in 2020, the wood, felt and wire
relics were expected to fetch be-
tween $150,000 and $250,000,
according to the New York Times.
Rankin/Bass found a niche
adapting Christmas songs to the
screen and applied the formula
again with success in <Frosty the
Snowman.= In their TV version,
Jackie Vernon voices Frosty with
Jimmy Durante singing an indeli-
ble version of the title song by
Walter <Jack= Rollins and Steve
Nelson.
Working with composer Maury
Laws, Mr. Bass helped write the
music for Rankin/Bass produc-
tions including 19709s <Santa
Claus Is Comin9 to Town,= with
narration by Fred Astaire and
Mickey Rooney as the voice of
Kris Kringle, and 19749s <The Year
Without a Santa Claus,= in which
Rooney reprised his role as Santa.
<The Year Without a Santa Claus=
gave viewers the Heat Miser and
the Snow Miser, with their memo-
rable musical motif.
<Maury usually wrote the mu-
sic and Jules would write the
lyrics, which would typically
move the plot along, but this
wasn9t always the case,= Rick
Goldschmidt, a scholar of the
productions of Rankin/Bass,
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus and an elf were
some of the characters Jules Bass helped bring to the screen.
. THE WASHINGTON POST
wrote on his blog. He cited the
example of the song <One Star in
the Night,= from the 1968 TV
movie <The Little Drummer Boy,=
for which Mr. Bass wrote the
music.
According to Goldschmidt,
Rankin was the chief executive
and primary director of Rankin/
Bass productions, often working
with animators in Japan while
Mr. Bass oversaw voice actors and
musicians in New York.
The Rankin/Bass output was
not limited to Christmas specials.
The team also produced the fea-
ture-length stop-motion film
<Mad Monster Party= (1967), the
TV series <The Smokey Bear
Show= (1969) and the Easter spe-
cial <Here Comes Peter Cotton-
tail= (1971), featuring the voices of
Danny Kaye and Vincent Price.
They received a Peabody
Award for their animated TV
movie <The Hobbit= (1977), based
on J.R.R. Tolkien9s fantasy novel,
and critical acclaim for the full-
length animated movie <The Last
Unicorn= (1982), with voice work
by Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, An-
gela Lansbury and Alan Arkin.
Writing in the Times, movie
critic Janet Maslin described
<The Last Unicorn= as <an unusu-
al children9s film in many re-
spects, the chief one being that it
is unusually good.=
<Children, except perhaps for
very small ones, ought to be
intrigued by it; adults won9t be
bored,= she observed. <And no one
of any age will be immune to the
sentiment of the film9s final mo-
ments, which really are unexpect-
edly touching and memorable.=
Later Rankin/Bass collabora-
tions included the 1980s TV se-
ries <ThunderCats= and the 1987
TV movie <The Wind in the Wil-
lows.=
Julius Bass was born in Phila-
delphia on Sept. 16, 1935. Little
was known about his early life, a
writer recounted in a 2012 Tablet
magazine profile, other than that
he almost died of scarlet fever as a
teenager. He later moved to New
York and studied at New York
University before working in ad-
vertising.
He and Rankin began collabo-
rating on commercials in 1955
before attempting television se-
ries and movies. Their first co-
production as Bass/Rankin was
the 1960 series <The New Adven-
tures of Pinocchio.=
Mr. Bass ventured beyond TV,
writing children9s books includ-
ing <Herb, the Vegetarian Drag-
on= (1999), with illustrations by
Debbie Harter, and the adult
novel <Headhunters= (2001),
which became the 2011 movie
<Monte Carlo= with Selena
Gomez. He aspired to write a
Broadway musical but did not
find success in that genre; his
musical <Month of Sundays,=
based on a play by Muller and
with music by Laws, closed after a
short run in 1968.
Mr. Bass9s marriages to Renee
Fisherman and Sylvia Bass ended
in divorce. A daughter from his
first marriage, Jean Nicole Bass,
died in January. Mr. Bass had no
immediate survivors.
Mr. Bass granted few inter-
views, but Rankin, who died in
2014, once gave an oral history to
the Television Academy Founda-
tion in which he reflected on their
years of collaboration.
<A partnership comes from two
people who support each other
and complement each other,=
Rankin said. <After a while we
were never seen together because
Bass was doing something and I
was doing something. & If we
were together, one of us wasn9t
necessary.=

A more salacious 8White Lotus9

new season, which premieres
Sunday, are the power dynamics
of sexual politics: Who has said
power, how it9s abused, who is
exploited and who is exploiting,
and in the most dire of situations,
who is the hunter and who is the
hunted.
Much like the first season, <The
White Lotus= kicks off with an
unidentified dead body and
quickly seems to forget about it,
making a time jump to a week
prior. It even includes this tanta-
lizing exchange between the hotel
manager and another employee:
<How many dead guests are
there?= <I don9t know. A few.=
Once again, the joke is on the
modern viewer obsessed with
binge-watching streaming, mys-
tery-box shows, ones that always
need a death to get things going.
Yeah, someone died, the show
seems to say, but you9re simple-
minded 4 or maybe just shallow
4 for thinking that9s what9s im-
portant here.
The show9s true focus, again, is
on a cast of wealthy Americans
attempting to escape the rigors of
daily life back home, only to real-
ize they can9t. The big difference,
which is enough to recommend
the new season for fans of the
show, is this time they unwitting-
ly find themselves stuck in some-
thing resembling an erotic satire.
The only returning characters
are Tanya McQuoid-Hunt (Jenni-
fer Coolidge) the impossibly dim-
witted and breathtakingly inse-
cure heiress and her now-hus-
band Greg Hunt (Jon Gries), the
no-longer-terminally-ill man she
met in the first season, who seems
exasperated with his new bride.
With them is a new face, her
beleaguered, depressed assistant
Portia (Haley Lu Richardson),
who yearns for a little bedroom
fun with a hot Italian man but is
ordered by Tanya to remain in her
room at all times.
Also on the boat headed for the
resort are three generations of Di
Grasso men who hope to explore
their Sicilian heritage but spend
most of the trip focusing on their
issues with women. There9s the
grandfather Bert Di Grasso (F.
Murray Abraham), who thinks
his life of (what he erroneously
believes to be discreet) affairs is
the norm; his sex-addicted, Holly-
wood producer son Dominic (Mi-
chael Imperioli) struggling to
change; and his grandson Albie
(Adam DiMarco) who, armed
with progressive talking points,
assures himself that he9s nothing
like the men he9s traveling with.
Rounding out the crew are two
married couples: Cameron (Theo
James) and Daphne Sullivan
(Meghann Fahy), whose constant
PDA and boasts about how they
never fight draw the suspicions of
the cynical Harper Spiller (Au-
brey Plaza) and, increasingly, her
husband and Cameron9s college
roommate Ethan (Will Sharpe),
who recently joined the ranks of
the wealthy after selling his com-
pany.
This time around, though,
rather than juxtapose the guests
with the hotel9s staff 4 with
whom this installment spends
little time 4 it9s two young, local
burgeoning prostitutes, Lucia (Si-
mona Tabasco) and Mia (Beatrice
Grannò) instigating most of the
conflict after Dominic gives them

week-long access to the hotel.
Soon enough, as, erm, every-
one9s relations overlap and be-
come more complicated, it feels
like an anaconda is wrapped
around the entire resort, slowly
tightening, tightening, tighten-

first glance felt like an escape to
gorgeous Hawaii when none of us
could travel turned out to be the
wealthy vacationers9 worst night-
mare. What could be more claus-
trophobic than realizing you can9t
escape yourself, even as you es-
cape to the world9s most beautiful
locales?
This seven-episode season still
retains that central motif 4 our
characters quickly realize how
claustrophobic being stuck with
breathtaking Italian resort 4 but
thanks to the lifting of said re-
strictions, more of the show is
able to spill out onto the streets of
Sicily and its surrounding towns.
The ability to escape the escape,
which naturally only invites more
misery, only serves to reinforce
the theme.
For some viewers, this all
might feel like a slight rehash,
idiosyncratic as it might be. But
though these new episodes (of
which five were made available to
critics) meander at times, Season
2 is more tightly plotted and there
are enough new ideas, with even
the most staid insights height-
ened by White9s razor-sharp writ-
ing, for it to feel fresh.
Let9s just hope that, despite our
franchise-centric entertainment
culture, White will be able to stop
when he runs out of compelling
ideas. The new season works, but
the idea of spending a third vaca-
tion at a White Lotus resort (with
yet another red herring of a dead
body) already feels a bit tiring. As
any good bellhop knows, it9s im-
portant not to overstay your wel-
come.
The White Lotus (one hour) returns
at 9 p.m. Sunday on HBO.

An Italian sandwich at the symphony rapturous, Noseda bouncing on

MUSIC REVIEW FROM C1
piece run through Tchaikovsky9s
preternaturally demanding <Vio-
lin Concerto in D major, Op. 35.=
But the highlight of the eve-
ning was Milan-born maestro
Gianandrea Noseda9s canny
sandwiching of the concerto be-
tween two of his favorite compos-
ers and countrymen: Ottorino
Respighi and Alfredo Casella. It
is a programming strategy he has
deployed before to good recep-
tion, as when he filled the same
sandwich of Italian composers
with Rachmaninoff 9s <Rhapsody
on a Theme of Paganini= in 2019.
Respighi, whose short 1906
piece <Burlesca= opened the eve-
ning, is hardly obscure. My ears
are still ringing from hearing the
New York Philharmonic blast his
crowd-pleasing <Pines of Rome=
at David Geffen Hall9s opening
night earlier this month. But vast
amounts of his oeuvre remain
largely undisturbed by orches-
tras.
And though it is a dangerous
game to try to divine precise
historical reflections or revela-
tions from the music of any given
period, in Respighi9s music (espe-
cially early on, following his stud-
ies in Russia with Nicolai Rimsky
Korsakov) you can pick up on a
transitional tension between
eras, and the composer crossing
it like a bridge.
Its opening streaks of horns
and flutes (both beautifully
played throughout) give the sen-
sation of broad brushstrokes,
and as the orchestra emerges to
fill in the colors, it is easy to
situate Respighi9s music in rela-
tion to the postimpressionist vis-
ual art of the time, its soft-and-
hard contrast of colors and tex-
tures here and there hinting at
Fauvism. <Burlesca= was short,
sweet, instantly entrancing.
Rachlin took the stage to excit-
ed applause and instantly set
about earning them. He strolled
through the first movement of
Tchaikovsky9s 1878 concerto 4 a
gantlet for any virtuoso 4 like it
was his own backyard. It was a
familiarity that gave his perform-
ance an airborne ease through-
out, but that also authorized
what was not the cleanest path
through the concerto I have ever
heard.
At times, Rachlin9s balance
between tune and tooth tilted a
bit too hard toward the latter,
and a few of his highest notes
flew off like bottle rockets. To be
honest, I didn9t care much. Rach-
lin is a wonder to watch and a
thrill to hear. His periodic twist-
ing to face the other violins
served a reminder that there
were two conductors onstage,
but his dialogue with the orches-
tra through the first movement
remained crisp and satisfying,
though they came a little un-
screwed from each other in the
third.
He brought electrifying pre-
carity from one acrobatic solo to
the next, the NSO swooping in to
chill-inducing rescue several
times. And his cadenza teased
time itself 4 he played it with a
clawing wit 4 one could hear
anew why it made so many
monocles drop when Adolph
Brodsky premiered it in 1881.
(The intended original soloist
and dedicatee Leopold Auer, ap-
preciative as he was, responded
to the concerto with a resound-
ing nope. <On closer acquain-
tance with the composition, I
regretted that the great compos-
er had not shown it to me before
committing it to print,= he told a
music magazine in 1912. <Much
unpleasantness might then have
been spared us both.=)
Beautiful bassoons and oboes
opened the second movement,
the slow poke of the horn a touch
too insistent, and Rachlin offered
his softer side. His reading, more
of a telling, was lyrical and won-
derfully expressive, wandering
into sublime conversation with
the woodwinds. When the or-
chestra snapped-to for the sud-
den barging in of the finale,
Rachlin really leaned into the
vivacissimo of the Allegro. Here,
a thread of melody must stay
intact while simultaneously
catching fire. Rachlin lit it like a
fuse.
He made its dance passages
the podium, gathering building
currents in his arms. He beauti-
fully navigated its famous high-
wire act (which pitches a folk
melody into the stratosphere)
and the somber pre-departure
solo. But it was his final sprint 4
the frenzy of those last two
minutes 4 where the tempera-
ture of the room went up a couple
of degrees.
After a trio of ovations, Rach-
lin retook the stage to offer a
contemplative reading of the
Sarabande from Bach9s <Partita
No. 2 in D minor.= A fine foil to his
performance a few minutes prior,
he etched each line with atten-
tion and exactitude, the violin
here and there seeming to gasp
for breath in his hands.
Compared with Respighi, Ca-
sella is far less of a household
name, in part because history
shooed him to the side for his
identification with the Italian
fascism as early as 1926, despite
the threat the party posed to his
own Jewish wife and their
daughter. (They would eventual-
ly split up and go into hiding
separately at the homes of
friends.) Casella9s cultural na-
tionalism played a large part in
his fervent revival of Vivaldi9s
music in the 1930s. It even took
him to Washington in the sum-
mer of 1934 to research and
reproduce manuscripts by Vival-
di and other masters of the
Italian Baroque like Luigi Boc-
cherini and Muzio Clementi.
Noseda has played a large part
in restoring Casella9s reputation
and recovering the substantial
amount of his music left un-
heard. He has recorded four vol-
umes of Casella9s orchestral
works with the BBC Philharmon-
ic, as well as the composer9s 1932
opera <La Donna Serpente= with
the Orchestra and Chorus Teatro
Regio Torino. And over the past
eight years (even before he began
as music director) he has intro-
duced Casella9s <Elegia eroica=
and his second symphony into
the NSO repertoire.
Casella9s <Symphony No. 3,=
composed for the Chicago Sym-
phony Orchestra and premiered
in 1941, is a four-movement,
40-minute (or so) symphony that
embraces the scale of Mahler and
the harmonic tensions of Bartok
but, as Noseda put it in his
opening remarks, also has an
<Italian flavor supervising every-
thing.= A shadow relentlessly
stalks the symphony as it moves,
a <bitterness= Noseda suggests
presages World War II.
For a piece they have never
played publicly, the orchestra
sounded comfortable and alert,
but also attuned to the unique
sensibilities of this piece. Where
Respighi channeled the softness
of Impressionism, Casella con-
jures a less-forgiving Futurist
palette: harder edges, steeper
inclines, glass and steel. Special
props go to trombonist Kevin
Carlson, who deftly delivered so-
los with a warm golden glow and
splendid control.
The richness of this symphony
is its both-ness: its pull between
unabashed beauty and encroach-
ing ugliness. Casella spent two
formative decades in Paris
(where he landed at age 13 to
study at the Conservatoire), and
you can hear some of the same
Impressionistic gestures at work.
Its buoyant grandeur could call
to mind Sibelius9s No. 2, pre-
miered four years earlier.
There is also an industrial
churn to the work that introduc-
es itself in the first movement, as
though the symphony wants you
to know it is a machine and we
are all inside of it. The presence
of this <engine= never quite goes
away: Even the softest, most
sentimental-seeming moments
seem urged along by a sinister
momentum. The second move-
ment feels like a brief respite,
gorgeously sculpted by Noseda
from beds of reaching strings and
lurking woodwinds.
A bulldozer of a scherzo inten-
sified what was a lingering men-
ace, and the fourth movement
rondo released it from its cage. It
is a movement so full of surprises
I kind of don9t want to tell you
anything about it, apart from it is
the point in the piece that most
clearly announces its symphonic
scope and psychological depth.
Casella may be an unfamiliar
name, but his music 4 the sound
of a world on the precipice 4 hits
closer to home than you might
guess.

MUTTS PATRICK McDONNELL ZITS JERRY SCOTT & JIM BORGMAN

HOROSCOPE

BIRTHDAY | OCTOBER 29
You are playful and
spontaneous. You
are independent,
innovative and an
excellent strategist. This year
is the last year of a nine-year
cycle for you, which means it9s
time to let go of people, places
and things that have been
holding you back. Free yourself
for new beginnings next year!

DILBERT SCOTT ADAMS JUDGE PARKER FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & MIKE MANLEY Moon Alert: Avoid shopping or
making important decisions
from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
today. After that, the Moon
moves from Sagittarius into
Capricorn.
ARIES
(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).
Stick with the facts today.
Stick with what is real,
because it9s easy to bite off
more than you can chew.
Meanwhile, know that you are
high-viz today. People notice
you more than usual.
TAURUS
FRAZZ JEF MALLETT CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL (APRIL 20-MAY 20).
Be cautious in financial
discussions. Don9t give away
the farm. Make sure you have
your facts before you agree
to anything important. Later
in the day, you will want to
escape somewhere or do
something different.
GEMINI
(MAY 21-JUNE 20).
Don9t be too aggressive when
dealing with friends today,
which you might be tempted
to do. You might want to take
over a situation or run the
GARFIELD JIM DAVIS BARNEY AND CLYDE WEINGARTENS & CLARK show. Make sure that others
have input and that they agree
with what9s going on before
you take over.
CANCER
(JUNE 21-JULY 22).
You will get a lot done
today because you9re
enthusiastic about something.
Nevertheless, go slowly and
don9t expect too much. For
starters, the Moon is opposite
your sign today, which means
you have to go more than
halfway when dealing with
others.
DUSTIN STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & ALEX SAVIUK
LEO
(JULY 23-AUG. 22).
You want to get things done
today! You have a to-do
list, either written down
somewhere or in your head.
(Lists promote productivity.)
Accept the help of others,
but be careful that their input
doesn9t sweep you away.
VIRGO
(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).
You want to have fun today!
This is why you will make an
effort to socialize with others,
see sports events or enjoy
PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS LOOSE PARTS DAVE BLAZEK playful activities with kids. If
you can express your creative
talents, this will please you.
LIBRA
(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).
You might feel better by
keeping a low profile today
and hunkering down at home.
Nevertheless, shopping and
money issues are on your
mind. Ironically, part of you
wants to travel and blow town.
SCORPIO
(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).
This is a powerful time for you
with the Sun, Mercury and
NON SEQUITUR WILEY BABY BLUES RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT Venus in your sign. Not only
are you empowered, you feel
unusually social and eager to
talk to others. Short trips, visits
and errands will be the perfect
stimulation for you.
SAGITTARIUS
(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).
Do not overestimate
something today. Don9t make
promises that you can9t
keep, especially to partners
and close friends. Focus
on financial matters today,
especially how they affect
home and family.
BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE ON THE FASTRACK BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN
(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).
Your feelings might be
heightened today because the
Moon is in your sign. However,
this also means that your good
fortune is slightly improved.
Oh yes, things will tend to go
your way.
AQUARIUS
(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).
You are high-viz, and you
look wonderful in the eyes of
others, especially authority
figures. This means you can
ask for what you want or do
BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER PEARLS BEFORE SWINE STEPHAN PASTIS something to promote your
agenda.
PISCES
(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).
A conversation with a female
acquaintance could be
important to you today. It
might make you think of
new goals or modify your
existing goals, because
you9re interested in learning,
especially through travel.

But on Friday in a 127-117 loss
at Capital One Arena to the
rebuilding Indiana Pacers, the
Wizards9 warning lights came on
earlier than expected 4 such as
during a first half in which the
visitors scored 75 points and took
a 15-point edge into intermis-
sion.
The team9s ongoing defensive
issues continued unabated, but
more than poor rebounding or
shoddy transition defense, Wash-
ington (3-2) was just off. Backup
guard Delon Wright missed the
first game in what Kyle Kuzma
said could be a two-month ab-
sence with a right hamstring
strain, and it threw off Coach
Wes Unseld Jr.9s rotations. More
than a backup ballhandler,
Wright provides a crucial defen-
sive presence in closing games
and quarters. Washington sorely
missed him, and its communica-
tion faltered all game.
<It9s a challenge. Most of the
time out there now we9ve got
wings guarding guards and
guards guarding wings,= Kuzma
said. <Missing Delon is going to
be tough because he9s one of our
best [at the] point of attack; he
guards guards. But it9s just the
next-man-up mentality. We9ve
got to figure it out. We may not
have him for six to eight weeks,
so we have to move swiftly and be
determined on that side of the
ball.=
All five Pacers starters were in
double figures, with center Myles
Turner leading the group with
27 points, five blocks and 10 re-
bounds. The Pacers9 10 three-
pointers in the first half helped
them build a double-digit lead
that was never truly in doubt
after halftime despite Bradley
Beal9s best effort.
Beal hit a three-pointer with
4:55 to play that cut the gap to six
points 4 the smallest deficit
since there was 6:11 remaining in
the first quarter 4 but Buddy
Hield quickly scored five straight
points to nudge the Pacers back
to safety.

PHILLIES 6,
ASTROS 5 (10)
BY C HELSEA J ANES
houston 4 Magic wrestled ped-
igree in Game 1 of the World
Series on Friday night, a clash of
the preternatural Philadelphia
Phillies and grizzled Houston As-
tros. A team loaded with October
experience collided with a team
graced by that mysterious Octo-
ber serendipity that even the data
cannot explain. And for more
than four grueling hours and nine
unpredictable innings, the game
couldn9t seem to decide which
should force should prevail.
Not until the top of the 10th,
when Phillies catcher J.T. Real-
muto sent an opposite-field hom-
er beyond the outreached glove of
early-innings hero Kyle Tucker
did fate seem to make up its
mind. And by the time David
Robertson worked through the
heart of the Astros9 order in the
bottom of the inning, the eve-
ning9s verdict clear: For one night
at least, the Phillies 4 in other
words, the vibes 4 won out, 6-5.
The Astros lost for the first time
this postseason.
The series the Phillies now lead
pits the fearless against the
feared, the unexpected against
the inevitable. The Astros always
find themselves here this time of
year. Until about midsummer, the
Phillies looked like a team des-
tined to find nothing but disap-
pointment. The Astros won 106
games during the regular season.
The Phillies won 87.
That the Phillies were not the
obvious choice to represent the
National League in the World
Series did not mean they lacked
the necessary accoutrements.
They had a homegrown ace, Aar-
on Nola, worthy of the Game 1
matchup with one of the more
decorated pitchers in recent regu-
lar and postseason history, Justin
Verlander. For every familiar As-
tros star, the Phillies had one of
their own: Realmuto, Bryce
Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Rhys
Hoskins and more.
The first star to impose his will
on the series, however, was Astros
outfielder Tucker, a player who
has established himself as an
annual 30-30 candidate at age 25
but is still something of a forgot-

his arrival will be a no-brainer.
Players like that don9t leave the

symbolized their teams left for
more money. Freddie Freeman 4

that dumped on Houston all af-
ternoon. As it happened, it flew
high into the glare of the right
field lights and landed as the
official purveyor of an Astros
lead. An inning later, he hit an-
other one, this time with two men
on, a line drive to right-center. As
soon as he was sure it was gone 4
or approximately two millisec-
onds after he hit it 4 the Astros9
No. 5 hitter smirked, spun and
tossed his bat aside as if to sug-
gest the whole thing was just too
easy. He was the first Astro ever
with a multihomer game in the
World Series. His pitcher had a
perfect game at that point. In
other words, who could blame
him.
No one feels comfortable gush-
ing about the Astros, not after the
sign-stealing scandal that tainted
their most recent title in 2017. But
anyone who has seen the ran-
domness that seems to seize Oc-
tober baseball, the way happen-
stance seems to undermine even
the best regular season teams,
sees in them the clearest example
of what works and what doesn9t.
They have played in four of the
last six World Series. They have
faced four different opponents
there.
But the Phillies have not cared
much about anyone else9s mo-
mentum this month, testing
theirs against all comers and
finding it strong enough to carry
them. And in the fourth, they
were able to drop a few hits in
front of Astros outfielders on
their way to a three-run inning
that seemed to offer early evi-
dence that they will not let Hous-
ton9s pedigree undermine their
sudden serendipity without a
fight.
Verlander, who had looked so
untouchable to that point, re-
quired more pitches to get the
last five outs of his evening, 48,
than it took him to get the first 10.
The Phillies put the first two men

the game was tied. If there were
any doubt that whatever force

swing left very little. Verlander

Houston in Game 1 of the World

and had been cleared by the team

Series since 2009. The Yankees
going 13 years without a World
Series appearance is roughly
equivalent to the Chicago Cubs
going 108 years without winning
one. But, if only because of their
enormous payroll, they contend
just about every year. Since 1995
they have missed the playoffs
four times; their last losing
record came in 1992. Money can9t
buy championships 4 or
happiness 4 but it can buy being
a perennial contender.

they still wear the pinstripes;
there is no more iconic uniform,
with apologies to the Montreal
Canadiens, in all of sports.
Judge is a bright guy. He
understands these things, and he
understands legacy. It probably
explains why he tightened up
when he got to 60 home runs
with 10 days left in the season and
barely surpassed Maris9s single-
season AL record of 61 home runs
down the stretch. And thankfully,
Boras isn9t his agent. Boras would
tell him to sign with the Kansas
gest moment of the World Series
to that point. After blasting each
other9s starters for five runs each,
neither team scored against the
other9s bullpen in the sixth, sev-
enth or eighth. The Phillies didn9t
score in the top of the ninth,
either.
The Astros came close to scor-
ing in the bottom of the ninth

July 2021 while undergoing treat-
ment for the blood cancer.
l MISC.: Grammy-nominated
singer Eric Burton lost track of
the lyrics during <The Star-Span-

Series opener.
With players and staff lined up
on the field for the traditional
pregame ceremony and a giant
American flag unfurled across the
outfield, the Black Pumas band
leader went off track on the sec-
ond line. He sang: <What so
proudly we hail9d at the twilight9s
City Royals or the Arizona
Diamondbacks if they offered
$1 more than the Yankees.
Someone may offer Judge
more than his current employer,
but unless the Yankees don9t
come to the table with some kind
of reasonable offer, he isn9t going
anywhere. The Yankees will do
what has to be done.
Some will bring up the fact
that he grew up in northern
California and might want to
return to the West Coast full time.
He might. Things like that do
happen: Mike Trout was tempted
to sign with the Phillies several
years ago because he had grown
up near Philadelphia. John
Tavares signed four seasons ago
with the Toronto Maple Leafs
after nine years with the New
York Islanders. On the day he
signed, he posted a photo of
himself sleeping in a Maple Leafs
uniform as a boy.
But the Islanders aren9t the
Yankees.
Derek Jeter was 36 when he
became a free agent for the first
time in 2010. His skills were
beginning to slip, and there was
even talk that he might spend the
final years of his career playing
the outfield. Negotiations
between the Yankees and Jeter
and his agent, Casey Close, were
tense. At one point, General
Manager Brian Cashman
suggested Jeter test the free agent
market to understand that what
the Yankees were offering 4
ultimately $51 million for three
seasons 4 was not unfair.
Jeter was never leaving the
Yankees. If someone had offered
him what he was hoping to get 4
four years and more than
$20 million a year 4 New York
owner Hal Steinbrenner would
short center, stole second, then
watched Jeremy Peña follow with
a bloop of his own. But Castella-
nos slid his glove underneath it
just before it hit the grass, saving
the game and sending it into
extra innings. Castellanos is em-
blematic of these Phillies in that
he is more slugger than defender,
in the mildest terms. That catch

have paid it, and Jeter was smart
enough to know that his fame
would diminish if he played
anywhere but with the Yankees.
Jeter missed being a
unanimous choice for the Hall of
Fame by one vote when he was
elected in 2020, the first year he
was eligible. Only Mariano
Rivera, his longtime teammate,
was selected unanimously.
Are they the two best players in
baseball history? No. But they
were great Yankees. That makes a
difference to voters.
There9s another reason Judge
isn9t going anywhere: He is
keenly aware of the fact that he
hasn9t finished the job in New
York. He has been rookie of the
year, he is going to be the MVP
this year, he hit 62 home runs,
and the Yankees have made the
postseason in each of his six full
seasons.
But they haven9t won a World
Series. He might go someplace
else and win one, but it wouldn9t
feel the same as doing it in the
place where he grew up as a
player and where memories of
postseason failures would make a
postseason victory that much
sweeter.
So hunker down for all the
headlines and reports about
Judge9s future. Prepare to see
constant replays of him making
the final out of the AL
Championship Series as a talking
head asks, <Was this the final at-
bat of Aaron Judge9s Yankees
career?=
Don9t believe any of the reports
until you hear one that sounds
something like this: <The Yankees
and Aaron Judge have agreed to a
10-year contract worth more than
$400 million.=
That one will be accurate.

D4 EZ M2 THE WASHINGTON POST . SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29 , 2022

Ten years in, NWSL is growing but facing scrutiny NBA ROUNDUP

NWSL FROM D1
launched by the league and its
players9 association, is expected
to be completed by the end of the
year.
The Yates report 4 which fol-
lowed investigative reporting by
The Washington Post and the
Athletic into sexual coercion and
emotional abuse by coaches, plus
subsequent inaction by team and
league officials 4 shined a light
on problems the players have
confronted for years. Its release
forced players to balance off-field
stress with on-field demands
during the final stretch of the
season.
<It is a balancing act, for sure,=
Kansas City midfielder Desiree
Scott said.
Her teammate and goalkeeper
Adrianna Franch said, <This has
been going on for way too long.
People are calling it distractions,
but it9s what people deal with
every single day. . . . We9ve been
speaking up for a long time. It9s
just finally being heard, and it9s
unacceptable that it9s finally be-
ing heard. But that tells you how
strong these women are that
constantly deal with stuff like
that on a regular basis.=
Portland has been in the center
of the storm. Fallout from man-
agement concealing player abuse
by former coach Paul Riley result-
ed this month in the firing of
general manager Gavin Wilkin-
son and president of business
Mike Golub.
Team owner Merritt Paulson
also was implicated in the scan-
dal and subsequently stepped
down as chief executive. He is
under pressure from fans to sell
both the Thorns and the MLS9s
Portland Timbers.
Fan desire to support the play-
ers collided with wanting to boy-
cott the organization. Days be-
fore the Thorn9s 2-1 semifinal
victory over the San Diego Wave
last weekend before a crowd of
22,035, goalkeeper Bella Bixby
posted a letter asking supporters
to attend the game <because the
club belongs to us.=
Striker Christine Sinclair said
Friday: <The players have been
hurt enough in everything that9s
happened. For our fans to come
and show the support that they
did last week, it was one of the
loudest stadiums I9ve experi-
enced. They supported us when
A crowd of 22,035 saw the Portland Thorns beat visiting San Diego, 2-1, in a semifinal last weekend.
we needed them the most.=
The Yates report also detailed
abusive misbehavior by coaches
in Chicago and Louisville. Sepa-
rately, a few days later, the league
announced it had terminated the
contracts of Orlando Pride coach
Amanda Cromwell and assistant
Sam Greene for retaliatory con-
duct against players. They had
been on administrative leave
since June 6.
The NWSL has yet to an-
nounce the findings of an investi-
gation into James Clarkson,
Houston9s coach and general
manager, who was suspended in
April amid an investigation into
complaints of discrimination, ha-
rassment and abuse.
<In order for this league to heal
4 and these players to trust the
league and the future direction of
the NWSL 4 they have to know
that [uncovering all issues] is the
sole priority of the joint investi-
gation,= Berman said.
While the investigation winds
down, the league continues to
mark gains. Both expansion
teams this year were well re-
ceived. Los Angeles-based Angel
City FC led the league in attend-
ance with a 19,105 average, end-
ing Portland9s eight-year reign.
San Diego began the season at
a 6,000-seat college venue before
moving late in the year into San
Diego State9s Snap Dragon Sta-
dium; for a first-round playoff
match, the Wave set a league
record with a crowd of 26,215.
Kansas City9s owners opened
an $18 million training center
and broke ground on the first
stadium built for a first-division
U.S. women9s pro team. The
11,500-seat riverside complex is
due to open in 2024.
<Ownership is very clear: It9s a

player-led, player-first environ-
ment that we9ve tried to create for
them,= Current Coach Matt Potter
said. <In many ways, we were
lucky the [stadium] ground-
breaking came with the [Yates
report] news, and that got to shed
some light on a dark moment for
everybody. The light has contin-
ued to shine a little bit for the
right reasons with this group.=
Kansas City9s success lends be-
lief that, in the wake of the abuse
scandal, the league is on the right
path.
<This will be a year that every
club and every player can say,
8Hey, we9re in this together and
we want better for the whole
league,9 = Portland star Crystal
Dunn said. <We can look back on
our careers and say, 8Yeah, this
was a tough year, but we were
able to create all the change that
we ever wanted for this league.9 =

LeBron James scored 28 points
for Los Angeles, which was with-
out Anthony Davis because of low

brook came off the bench for the
first time since his rookie season
and chipped in 18 points and
eight rebounds.
With his eighth field goal of the
night, LeBron James recorded his
1,135th career 20-point game,
passing Karl Malone for the most
in NBA history.
l 76ERS 112, RAPTORS 90:
Tyrese Maxey scored a career-
high 44 points, carrying Philadel-
phia to a victory over host Toron-
to without Joel Embiid.
Embiid, the reigning NBA scor-
ing champion, sat out because of
a sore right knee.
They didn9t miss him and
didn9t even need much from
James Harden (11 points) because
of Maxey, who made his first
10 shots, seven of them from long
range. He shot 15 for 20 overall,
going a career-best 9 for 12 from

l MAGIC 113, HORNETS 93:
Pablo Banchero had 21 points,
12 rebounds and seven assists,
and host Orlando beat Charlotte
for its first victory of the season.
Banchero became the sixth
player in NBA history to start his
career with six straight 20-point
games, following Wilt Chamber-
lain (56), Elvin Hayes (10) and
Grant Hill, Dominique Wilkins
and Oscar Robertson (six).
l BUCKS 119, KNICKS 108:
Giannis Antetokounmpo had
30 points, 14 rebounds and nine
assists as host Milwaukee re-
mained unbeaten with a win over
New York.
Antetokounmpo scored nine
points during an 18-0 run that
gave the Bucks a 24-point lead in
the third quarter.
RJ Barrett led New York with
20 points.
l CAVALIERS 132, CELTICS
123 (OT): Donovan Mitchell and
Caris LeVert each scored
41 points, and Cleveland rallied to
beat host Boston in overtime.
Cleveland trailed by 15 in the
first half and overcame a 75-point
first half by the Celtics to earn its
fourth straight win.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen
Brown led Boston with 32 points
apiece. The Celtics shot 51 percent
against the NBA9s second-rated
defense but also had 19 turnovers.
l HAWKS 136, PISTONS 112:
Trae Young had 36 points and
12 assists in just three quarters,
and Atlanta overcame Cade Cun-
ningham9s career-high 35 points
to beat host Detroit Pistons
for the second time in three
nights.
Dejounte Murray had 26 points
for Atlanta, which outscored the
Pistons 67-45 in the second half.
Cunningham added nine re-
bounds and eight assists, but the
Pistons dropped their fifth
straight.
l NUGGETS 117, JAZZ 101:
Bones Hyland made eight three-
pointers and scored 26 points,
DeAndre Jordan hit the second
three of his 15-year NBA career,
and host Denver beat Utah.
Jordan had been 1 for 12 in his
career on threes in 984 previous
NBA games.
Lauri Markkanen had 17 points
and 10 rebounds for the Jazz.
l SPURS 129, BULLS 124:
Keldon Johnson scored 33 points,
spoiling a milestone evening for
former teammate DeMar DeRo-
zan and leading San Antonio past
Chicago.
DeRozan scored 33 points, be-
coming just the 50th player in
NBA history to reach 20,000.
Also, the Spurs waived Josh
Primo, and the second-year guard
told ESPN he has been dealing
with trauma he experienced pre-
viously.
The 6-foot-6 Primo was select-
ed with the No. 12 pick in the 2021

GOLF ROUNDUP

Crane shoots a 62, his lowest score in 10 years, to take the lead in Bermuda
A SSOCIATED P RESS
Ben Crane took advantage of a
rare start on the PGA Tour with
his lowest score in 10 years, a
9-under-par 62 that gave him a
one-shot lead going into the week-
end at the Bermuda Champion-
ship in Southampton.
Crane9s last victory was in 2014
at the St. Jude Championship,
before it was a World Golf Cham-
pionship or a FedEx Cup playoff
event. He hasn9t led after any
round since the summer of 2017.
The 46-year-old Crane was de-
bating whether to show up in the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean as an
alternate when he learned he was
given a sponsor exemption. And
then Friday, he holed out with a
wedge for an eagle and tied his
career low on the PGA Tour.
He finished before the weather
started to turn rough, with a mix-
ture of rain and wind.
<Obviously played the best golf
I9ve played in a long time, and to
be in this tournament is super
encouraging,= Crane said. <I don9t
get in a lot, and then to get in and
the weather starts getting bad
right when I finished. So really
cool to shoot 62. That 29 on the
back, I didn9t see it coming, but it
adds up to 29. Super fun day.=
Crane, who was at 14-under
128, played alongside good friend
Aaron Baddeley, who had a 64 and
was among those one shot out of
the lead.
Also one shot behind were Aus-
tin Smotherman, who was tied
until a late three-putt bogey for a
67; Adam Schenk (66); Robby
Shelton (66); and Ben Griffin (64).
Seamus Power of Ireland, at
No. 48 the highest-ranked player
in the field, had another 65 and
was two shots behind.
l DP WORLD TOUR: Gavin
Green joined Jordan Smith as the
co-leader of the Portugal Masters
after the Malaysian golfer shot a
6-under 65 in the second round.
Green made seven birdies to go
with one bogey at Dom Pedro
Victoria Golf Course in Vilamou-
ra. Smith, the overnight leader,
shot a 67 after leading the field
with a 62 on Thursday despite
feeling sick.
Smith made two bogeys and six
birdies, including on the 17th and
18th holes, to ensure he stayed at
the top of the leader board.
l LIV GOLF: Phil Mickelson9s
long year that led him to being a
central figure in the Saudi-funded
series ended when British Open
champion Cameron Smith holed
a seven-foot birdie putt on the
final hole to beat Mickelson and
eliminate his team.
The LIV Golf Team Champion-
ship-Miami at Trump National
Doral is all match play, with four
teams moving on to Saturday9s
semifinals to face the four teams
that earned byes based on the
previous seven LIV events.
Marc Leishman of the Austral-
ian team <Punch= beat Matthew
Wolff in a singles match. In the
foursomes match, Bernd Wies-
berger and Cameron Tringale of
the <Hy Flyers= won a point. That
left it to the other singles match
between Smith and Mickelson.
In another quarterfinal, Harold
Varner III easily handled four-
time major champion Brooks
Koepka, 4 and 3, for his <Niblicks=
team. But in this case, Koepka9s
brother saved him. Chase Koepka
and Jason Kokrak of <Smash= won
the foursomes match for one
point after Peter Uihlein beat
James Piot.
Ian Poulter and his <Majestiks=
easily advanced with a sweep of
the <Iron Heads= in which none of
the matches went the distance.
Graeme McDowell and Richard
Bland led the <Cleeks= to a victory.
Joaquin Niemann of <Torque=
won his team9s only point, a
5-and-3 singles victory over Sher-
go Al Kurdi of Jordan, a late sub-
stitute when Martin Kaymer
couldn9t play with an injured
wrist.
l ASIA-PACIFIC AMATEUR:
Bo Jin of China had a 3-under 69
for a one-shot lead in the As-
ia-Pacific Amateur Championship
in Chonburi, Thailand, the second
straight year he held the 36-hole
lead as he tries to secure a spot at
the Masters and British Open.

The transfer portal has become
free agency.=
The number of players in the
Football Bowl Subdivision enter-

matically since the NCAA waived
the long-standing penalty of hav-
ing to sit out one year after trans-
ferring. FBS players who entered
the portal increased just over

Virginia is ready for its home stretch deals, that represents another un-
regulated frontier for coaches try-
ing to assemble rosters.
MATTHEW HINTON/ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY G ENE W ANG
Playing on the road has been a
mostly futile endeavor for the
Virginia football team. The Cava-
liers lost their first three such
games, including a pair by
21 points, before they survived
against shorthanded Georgia
Tech last week after ailing Yellow
Jackets quarterback Jeff Sims left
for good in the second quarter.
Still, the atmosphere on the
trip back to Charlottesville on
Oct. 20 was a bit more celebra-
tory than usual considering the
Cavaliers (3-4, 1-3 ACC) not only
ended a three-game skid but also
have their next four opponents,
including Miami (3-4, 1-2) on
Saturday, coming to Scott Sta-
dium.
Virginia is 23-6 in Charlottes-
ville since 2018; the Cavaliers
have the most victories at home
among all Coastal Division
schools during that time. That
total ranked third in the confer-
ence entering the week, behind
fifth-ranked Clemson (30) and
No. 24 North Carolina State (26).
What9s more, the Cavaliers are
not leaving the Commonwealth
for the rest of the regular season.
Their finale is the Common-
wealth Cup showdown with Vir-
ginia Tech, which this year is
being played in Blacksburg on
the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
<It9s just been kind of abnor-
mal,= Virginia Coach Tony Elliott
said of a schedule that included a
game at Duke in the aftermath of
Hurricane Ian and an open week
before facing Georgia Tech. <But
just excited to get on a routine
and be consistent for the next
three or four weeks. Definitely
want to take advantage of the
pride that9s here at U-Va. of play-
ing at home.=
The welcoming environment
at Scott Stadium includes Satur-
day9s family weekend, which is
expected to draw one of the
largest crowds of the season.
Virginia9s previous home game
ended in a loss to Louisville,
34-17, in front of an announced
homecoming crowd of 38,009
that witnessed the Cavaliers open
a 10-0 lead before they surren-
dered 20 straight points. Virginia
drew within three midway
through the third quarter but
never scored again.
The Cavaliers finished with
just six rushing yards, committed
eight penalties for 66 yards and
allowed quarterback Brennan
Armstrong to get sacked seven
times against the Cardinals. In a
season that has fallen well below
expectations, the fifth-year sen-
ior completed 24 of 34 passes for
313 yards and a touchdown with
two interceptions.
Armstrong, Virginia9s career
leader in total offense (9,624
yards), passing yards (8,442) and
touchdowns (57) has 1,618 pass-
ing yards and six touchdowns
this season, completing 136 of
246 attempts. He also has 286
yards and four touchdowns on 81
carries. Last year, Armstrong set
single-season program records
for total offense (4,700) and pass-
ing with 4,449 yards and 31
touchdowns, completing 326 of
500 throws.
<You9ve got to reset every sin-
gle day and understand that you
must respect the process at all
times and challenge yourself
now,= Elliott said. <You9re in
Game 8. The body is starting to
tell you: 8Man, this is a long
season. I9m a little bit tired. I
don9t want to start feeling sorry
for myself.9 As coaches, we have to
do a good job applying the pres-
sure and respond the right way,
go to work and [get players to]
understand if you want to enjoy
the feeling that you felt [against
Georgia Tech], then you9ve got to
pay the price.=
Additional motivation comes
with playing in the mediocre
Coastal Division, which has one
team, North Carolina (3-0), above
.500 in league play. Virginia
draws the No. 21 Tar Heels next
weekend, so despite a rocky open-
ing stretch it remains in the hunt
for the division title and a berth
in the ACC championship game.
The Cavaliers last won the
Coastal in 2019, and claiming the
crown this time would yield a
sixth consecutive year of bowl
eligibility, although Virginia did
not play in a bowl game the past
two seasons amid the coronavi-
rus pandemic.
Last season9s Fenway Bowl be-
tween the Cavaliers and SMU was
scrapped when a rash of positive
tests in the Virginia locker room
compelled school officials to
withdraw. In 2020, the Cavaliers
finished 5-5 but opted out of a
bowl game, citing fatigue from
virus protocols.
<I feel like the weight9s still the
same,= wide receiver Dontayvion
Wicks said. <We9re still 3-4, so
we9ve got to get to a winning
record, play the best we can and
win out.=
So not only has free agency
come to college football, it has
arrived without any restraints on
the money that cash-rich boosters
or collectives can offer potential
recruits 4 at least none that is
being enforced.
Former U.S. congressman Tom
McMillen, president and CEO of
Lead1, which represents athletic
directors of FBS member schools,
likens the present-day landscape
to the <Wild West.=
<The transfer portal in college
sports is pretty much unrestrict-
ed,= McMillen said in a telephone
interview. <It has made raiding
schools, raiding their programs
very much a possibility. And par-
ticularly with NIL benefit to it, it
is unrestricted free agency with
payola.=
Riley9s rebuilding via the trans-
fer portal didn9t stop with a star
quarterback and wide receiver.
He added tackle Bobby Haskins
(Virginia), linebackers Romello
Height (Auburn) and Shane Lee
(Alabama) and defensive end Sol-
omon Byrd (Wyoming, after re-
neging on Georgia Tech).
All the moves were within
NCAA rules. If anything, they
were a case study in how to lever-
age the portal not simply to fine-
tune rosters but overhaul them.
<This is a different football
game now than it was when Matt
[Leinart] and I played,= said Reg-
gie Bush, the former Trojans run-
ning back now reunited with Lei-
nart in the Fox analyst booth.
<The transfer portal is like college
football free agency. We have seen
some teams hit on some of these
players, some teams miss and
some just be passive and not do
anything at all.
Mississippi Coach Lane Kiffin has landed top transfers but likened
unpoliced name, image and likeness deals to <legalized cheating.=
<You want a coach that can
adjust. The game itself is about
adjustments. So who can figure
out how to adjust to what the
current state of college football is
and also be successful in it.=
Mississippi Coach Lane Kiffin
appears to be one such coach. He
pounced on the portal to land
USC quarterback Jaxson Dart, a
former four-star recruit, and tight
end Michael Trigg, as well as TCU
running back Zach Evans in the
offseason. The Rebels are off to a
7-1 start and contending for the
SEC title.
<We filled a lot of holes with
transfer portals,= Kiffin told re-
porters on the eve of the season, at
SEC media day. <That is a good
system when you lose really good
players and you haven9t been
somewhere long enough to devel-
op a lot of classes of depth.=
Oklahoma, on the other hand,
knows all about getting raided
after losing its starting quarter-
back on the heels of losing its
coach to USC.
First-year coach Brent Ven-
ables9s rebuilding challenge was
further complicated by the early-
season injury to Oklahoma9s new
starting quarterback, Dillon Ga-
briel, a transfer from Central Flor-
ida, which exposed the peril of
having little depth. The Sooners
are 4-3, with an ugly 49-0 loss to
rival Texas.
In an April interview with Siri-
usXM Radio, Oklahoma Athletic
Director Joe Castiglione sharply
criticized the effect the transfer
portal and unregulated NIL deals
were having on college football
coaches, making the job of build-
ing rosters untenable. <This is
ridiculous, to be candid,= he said.
Kiffin, who has adapted to the
transfer portal as well as anyone,
also has sounded alarms about
unpoliced NIL, which he likened
to <legalized cheating= in the
amateur arena.
<It9s like a payroll in baseball,=
Kiffin said at SEC media day in
July. <What teams win over a long
period of time? Teams that have
high payrolls and can pay players
a lot. We9re in a situation not any
different than that. I said Day 1:
8You legalize cheating, so get
ready for the people that have the
most money to get players.9 Now
you have it.=
Now that football coaches have
two potentially powerful rebuild-
ing tools 4 the portal and NIL
deals 4 the demand for overnight
success will only escalate, McMil-
len said.
Five FBS coaches already have
been fired this season.
<Now when you hire a coach,
you expect them to succeed no
later than the second year.= Mc-
Millen said. <If they9re not suc-
cessful at using the transfer por-
tal, coupled with the NIL, [univer-
sities] know they9ve got to find a
coach that can do that. You9re
seeing some coaches that are real-
ly great at it, like Riley at USC, and
others who are not so good at it.
<It9s going to impact job secu-
rity, there9s no question about it.
And you9re going to see more
buyouts; the dead money is just
going to go even higher because
you9ve got to be able to maximize
the transfer portal and NIL along
with it.=

Penn State hosts Ohio State in yet another chance for the Nittany Lions
to knock off a top-10 team. The Nittany Lions are 0-10 against the poll elite
since they beat No. 6 Wisconsin in the 2016 Big Ten championship game,
and their first attempt at a big upset this season didn9t go well: Two weeks
ago, No. 5 Michigan steamrolled Penn State, 41-17, rushing for 418 yards
in the process. Ohio State has put up some breathtaking numbers against
a pretty weak schedule this season. The Buckeyes are 36 for 36 on red-
zone scoring opportunities, with touchdowns on 31 of those possessions;
they average a national-best 7.8 yards every time they snap the ball; and
they haven9t allowed a rushing touchdown since a garbage-time score by
Wisconsin on Sept. 24. . . . Syracuse led Clemson for three quarters last
weekend before faltering in the fourth, and now the Orange looks to

worse than the Fighting Irish when it comes to allowing opponents to score
touchdowns on red-zone possessions: Notre Dame9s foes have crossed
the goal line on 14 of 17 trips past its 20-yard line.

Oklahoma State visits Kansas State, and the winner will be able to
keep within shouting distance of unbeaten TCU in the Big 12 standings
(though the Horned Frogs have the tiebreaker over the Cowboys and
Wildcats after beating both over the past two weeks). The loser probably
can forget about playing in the conference championship game. Wildcats
quarterback Adrian Martinez lasted only one drive in last weekend9s loss

Kentucky and Tennessee will meet as ranked opponents for just the
third time and first since 1951. The teams offer deeply contrasting styles
on offense, with the Volunteers ranking seventh nationally in terms of
seconds per play (20.6) and the Wildcats ahead of only Air Force at
30.6 seconds per play. Defensively, Kentucky will look to limit a Tennessee
offense that has had 49 plays from scrimmage go for at least 20 yards this
season (eighth in the country) and 32 plays gain at least 30 yards (No. 1 in
the nation). The Volunteers have accomplished all that mostly without
wide receiver Cedric Tillman, who had 12 touchdown catches last season
but hasn9t played since Sept. 17 because of a high-ankle sprain (he may
return Saturday).

Capitals loan Alexeyev to Hershey on a long-term conditioning assignment
BY S AMANTHA P ELL
The Washington Capitals
loaned defenseman Alex Alex-
eyev to the Hershey Bears of the
American Hockey League on Fri-
day on a long-term conditioning
assignment. Alexeyev underwent
shoulder surgery in June and has
not played this season.
The long-term conditioning
loan lasts up to six days or three
games. In some situations, teams
are allowed to ask for a two-game
extension if more time is needed
to evaluate a player9s status.
When Alexeyev9s conditioning
loan is over, he probably will join
the Capitals9 roster. (He can9t be
formally assigned to the AHL
without clearing waivers.) From
there, Washington will decide
whether it wants to send the
22-year-old blue-liner back down
to Hershey.
Capitals assistant coach Kevin
McCarthy said in late September
that Alexeyev9s injury put him
<on the back burner a bit,= but
once he got healthy, Washington
was excited to see what he could
bring to the table.
<He is a big body that we feel
like can fit in on the left side,=
McCarthy said.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound de-
fenseman recorded a goal and
18 assists for the Bears last sea-
son. Alexeyev made his NHL
debut in December. He was se-
lected by the Capitals in the first
round of the 2018 draft.

BY T RAMEL R AGGS
With the score tied at the half
and his team looking sluggish,
Rock Creek Christian Coach An-
dre Kates stared at one player after
another and implored them to get
something going.
<Can someone make a . . . play
out there?= Kates asked. <Seniors,
y9all only got these next 24 minutes
guaranteed on a football field. Is
this how y9all want to be remem-
bered? As a team that couldn9t
perform when lights came on?
That9s what you want your legacy
to be?=
None of the players offered a
verbal response. But senior quar-
terback Tahj Smith made it clear
he would be the one to make a play,
and he overcame knee and ankle
ailments to throw three second-
half touchdowns as the Eagles
beat Friendship Collegiate, 28-6,
on Friday night in Northeast D.C.
<I think we were a little too
amped up at first with it being our
last game,= Smith said. <In the
second half, we finally just took a
breath and did our jobs. We knew
we couldn9t go out like that, so we
all just tried to step up and make
plays.=
Rock Creek (6-3), an independ-
ent program in Upper Marlboro,
started the season slow against a
rugged schedule that included op-
ponents from Florida, New York
and Ohio. But the Eagles, who
treated their season finale like a
championship game, closed the
year by winning six of their last
seven games.
Beauvillier each had two assists
for New York.
Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin
made 32 saves after making 41 in a
3-0 victory over the New York
Rangers on Wednesday night.
With three more penalty kills,
the Islanders haven9t allowed a

fumble to start the second half
Friday, and then Smith got
straight to work.
With Friendship Collegiate
(5-4) bearing down on him, the
quarterback scrambled for a
21-yard gain. Two plays later, he
connected with senior AJ Myers
for a 46-yard touchdown, giving
the Eagles a 12-6 lead.
Smith hit Jayden Catchings on a
three-yard slant, and the fresh-
man turned it into an 18-yard
score after breaking four tackles
with 9:27 remaining in the fourth.
Later in the fourth, with the
Eagles leading 20-6, Smith put the
game on ice with a 16-yard strike
to Catchings. Members of Rock
Creek9s bench chanted, <He9s a
freshman,= in reference to Catch-
ings.
Smith, the senior who received
his first Division I offer from Jack-
sonville State on Thursday, was
the difference maker this year. He
rushed for 61 yards Friday in addi-
tion to his 236 yards passing and
four total touchdowns.
<I like to think that I know
damn near everything, but when
we first got [Smith], I had no idea
that he was this good,= Kates said.
<All season long he9s carried this
team on his back, but to see him do
it on a cold night like this while
dealing with all the injuries that
he has, it9s like, man, this kid is just
special.=
Friday was the first time Kates
patrolled the sidelines as a visiting
coach at his alma mater. As a

the clock as it hit zero on a 47-6
win Friday over Whitman and
then headed to midfield with his
hands in his pockets. Behind him,
dozens of black-clad Jaguars
formed a line.
The victory itself did not signi-
fy much for Northwest, long con-
sidered one of the better public
school programs in Maryland. Its
opponents on this night have not
won a varsity game since 2019,
and Friday9s outcome was rarely
in doubt.
But the win did mark the end of
a tumultuous regular season for
the Jaguars, and that alone was
something to celebrate.
By all measures, this has not
been a normal season for the
Jaguars. A much-publicized
brawl with Gaithersburg in Sep-
tember knocked the program into
a state of frenzied change: Coach
Travis Hawkins was fired, the
team was forced to forfeit two
games, and the players have been
asked to play amid a swirl of
debate about topics tangential to

On social media, Hawkins re-
ceived support from a range of
football voices, including former
NFL wide receiver Torrey Smith
and former Northwest coach
Mike Neubeiser.
Former Gaithersburg athletic
director William Gant, who was
also involved in the fight, had
brought an assault charge against
Hawkins, but that was dropped
this week.
All the while, Aidoo and the
remaining Jaguars staff have
worked to keep the team afloat.
Instead of asking players to
drown out the noise, Aidoo tried
to give them an outlet for whatev-
er they feel.
<As young men, they9re told to
put their emotions in their back
pocket,= said Aidoo, formerly the
defensive coordinator. <We told
them to let it out. . . . We wanted
them to be able to express their
emotions and deal with any grief
instead of trying to push it away
to play.=
After the game, Aidoo ended
his postgame address by stating
the team9s postseason goal.
<What did we say we want to do
by the end of the season, remem-
ber?= Aidoo asked. <We want to
get that championship trophy
and drop it off on Coach [Haw-
kins9s] front porch.=
With enthusiasm, his team
agreed to the plan.

LIBERTY DISTRICT FOOTBALL
LANGLEY 27,
HERNDON 7
BY S PENCER N USBAUM
Early in the second quarter of
Friday night9s game at Herndon,
Langley quarterback Brendan
Mansinne crumpled to the
ground. After a late hit out of
bounds, the senior felt the weight
of a defender directly on his up-
per body, the same frame that
suffered a broken collarbone in
September 2021.
Most would have forgiven the
senior if he let his running backs
take the next few hits. But in the
Saxons9 27-7 victory, he continued
to run directly at defenders much
larger than him and uncork
touchdown passes with linemen
closing in.
Teammates say few players are
wired like their quarterback, who
returned from last year9s injury
by the end of that fall and has
been impressive this season in
guiding the Saxons (6-3) to their
first winning record in eight
years.
<It started last offseason. That
was our goal, win a district cham-
pionship,= Mansinne said. <We
got to come back and beat
McLean next week. But we9re in
the driver9s seat now.=
The Saxons have inherited
their quarterback9s gritty de-
meanor. Twins Dustin and Daren
Mosleh, among the team9s top
skill players, spent long offseason
hours developing a practice regi-
men to get in sync with their
quarterback. At the lower levels,
underclassmen look up to
Mansinne9s work ethic.

Canucks add two in trade
The struggling Vancouver Ca-
nucks acquired defenseman
Ethan Bear and forward Lane Ped-
erson from Carolina for a fifth-
round draft pick.
The 25-year-old Bear had five
goals and nine assists in 58 games
for the Hurricanes last season but
has yet to appear in an NHL game
this season. He has 13 goals and
34 assists in 190 games with Caro-
lina and the Edmonton Oilers.
The 25-year-old Pederson is
scoreless in four games this season
for the Chicago Wolves in the
American Hockey League.
l RED WINGS: The NHL sus-
pended Detroit forward Michael
Rasmussen for two games without
pay for high-sticking Boston for-
ward David Krejci on Thursday.
Rasmussen was assessed a mi-
nor penalty midway through the
second period. The suspension
will cost him $15,784.

good to be around [the NHL
level] and practice at a certain
level, at a certain pace every
day.=
Malenstyn, who was recalled
last week after Connor Brown
suffered a lower-body injury, ap-
pears to have found his footing
on the fourth line. Washington
could send him down to Her-
shey, but it would need another
player to get up to speed quickly
in his place. Malenstyn can go
back to Hershey without clear-
ing waivers until he plays in 10
games or spends 30 days on an
NHL roster.
Joe Snively also could be an
option. Snively requires waivers
though and could be a hot com-
modity for teams looking to pick
up a speedy, gritty forward with
offensive upside.
Washington already has lost
young talent to waivers this sea-
son. Axel Jonsson-Fjallby was
claimed by the Winnipeg Jets and
Brett Leason by the Anaheim
Ducks when the pair were placed
on waivers at the end of training
camp. Jonsson-Fjallby scored the
game-winner Thursday night for
the Jets.
In the past, Langley saw foot-
ball as a bit of an afterthought. As
long as the players conquered
rival McLean and registered high
test scores in school, they would
be content. This group has found
balance and success between
football and grades.
<We don9t hope anymore,=
Coach Dave Murray said. <We
used to hope to win. Now it9s not
about that. It9s about executing.=
Herndon (6-3) has spent al-
most a decade in a similar spot,
annually toward the bottom of
the Liberty District. The Hornets
haven9t made the playoffs since
2008, and they lost 28 straight
games preceding the six-game
winning streak they entered with
Friday night.
As with Langley, this year has
been different for the Hornets,
with a defense that allowed just
eight points per game during its
winning streak. The unit pres-
sured Mansinne throughout the
game, but it couldn9t break him.
<He9s a tough cookie,= Langley
senior Remhi Chaudhry said of
Mansinne.
The more Mansinne was hit,
the louder the Saxons9 sideline
became. Mansinne led a 50-yard
drive, closed out by Daren Mos-
leh9s two-yard rush, with two min-
utes left in the first half to give the
Saxons a 12-7 lead. Momentum
only built into the second half,
with touchdowns on each of their
next two drives.
Junior Max Kelly9s intercep-
tion with six minutes remaining
allowed Langley to close out the
game. The team celebrated with a
Powerade bath for its coach.
<That was cold,= Murray said.
<But it9s no problem. I don9t mind
being frozen.=
