Hurara Hassan learned a lesson on New Year’s Eve: Don’t store 600 fireworks in your open car trunk. Hassan was at a Houston strip mall where celebrants were setting off fireworks when a wayward device ignited the fireworks in his Dodge Charger.

Homeless and in love in D.C. Documentary shows how housing insecurity can affect relationships

LALITA CLOZEL AND ARIANE MOHSENI

CULTURE To make their relationship work, Alyssa Robinson and Marvin Wilson spent time sleeping in parks and on streets around the District. They worked hard to raise their toddlers, and some days were tougher than others. Eventually, they moved into a family shelter inside a motel. But the stress and instability of their living situation began to spill over into their relationship, and the ties between them started to fray. Theirs is a story of love amid the struggles of housing instability in a city with the highest per capita rate of homelessness in the country, according to a 2016 survey by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Their story, along with that of three others, is told in a documentary titled “Homelessly in Love,” directed by Ariane Mohseni and Lalita Clozel, first-time filmmakers who wanted to tell the stories of men and women finding love while dealing with the challenges

of homelessness. Over the past two and a half years, Mohseni and Clozel have followed the lives of their subjects, all of whom are homeless or formerly homeless. Street Sense, the organization behind the biweekly newspaper about homelessness and poverty in the District, provided initial funding for video equipment and connected the two with people in the homelessness-focused community. The documentary, which has

not been publicly released, follows the stories of five main characters: Alyssa and Marvin, Lorraine and Freddie, and Michelle. For Robinson, who is working toward her high school diploma and holding a job at a Chipotle in downtown Washington, being part of the documentary has meant sharing her story about homelessness, showing others how to get through it and pushing back against stereotypical depictions of the homeless. Expressing herself in front of a camera also helped her get perspective on her relationship with Wilson. “It taught me that you don’t have to struggle to be in love,” said Robinson, 23. “But if you have to struggle to be in love, you have to struggle together.” And ultimately, she and Wilson were on different pages. Mohseni and Clozel are running an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to finance postproduction costs. They have raised a little over half of their $20,000 goal. If they reach their goal, they also want to make donations to the documentary’s five protagonists, as well as other collaborators. MARY HUI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Sheriff puts out alert for an ‘elusive bovine’ A Virginia sheriff’s office has issued a lookout alert for a wily cow loose in the woods. The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office tweeted Monday that an “elusive bovine” was roaming a wooded area. Animal control devised a plan to catch the cow and deliver it to a rescue facility. The sheriff’s office put out bales of hay where the heifer has been bedding down, and asked anyone who sees the cow to call emergency dispatch. It’s unclear for how long the rogue cow has been at large, and as of Tuesday evening there were no updates on whether the cow had been captured. (AP) RICHMOND

Hogan under fire for campaign funds

HARFORD COUNTY, MD.

Suspect in fatal, 2-state shooting spree indicted

Democrats accusing governor of impropriety over $250K donation

More snow, frigid temps may be ahead PATRICK SEMANSKY (AP)

MARYLAND Maryland chicken farmers were watching the 2014 governor’s race closely when one of the nation’s largest poultry suppliers steered $250,000 to a group funding an ad campaign to support Republican candidate Larry Hogan. Hogan, a longtime critic of what he saw as overly burdensome regulations, campaigned against rules for reducing pollution associated with chicken manure, which he believed would decimate the poultry industry. After he won, he halted strict limits introduced by his Democratic predecessor, then rolled out his own regulations, which restricted use of chicken manure while providing some farms extra time to adjust. The donation from poultry producer Mountaire, reported last week by The Wall Street Journal, has Maryland Democrats accusing Hogan of impropriety as he vies to become the first Republican governor re-elected in the state since 1954. Hogan’s potential Democratic challengers are using the article to criticize him, even though the Journal article focused on a loophole that has benefited candidates from both parties. It allows corporate donors to write large donations to governors associations,

avoiding contribution limits and disclosure requirements that would be triggered by donations to candidates themselves. A small-government conservative, Hogan had criticized his Democratic predecessor Martin O’Malley for what he saw as an overly punitive approach to environmental regulation. That included O’Malley’s attempts to crack down on runoff from chicken manure used as fertilizers on Eastern Shore farms, a leading cause of pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. But Hogan won the support of environmentalists and Democratic legislators when he negotiated a revamped set of regulations during his first months in office. The plan phased in stricter restrictions over a

number of years, and allowed extensions for some farmers if major problems arise. Douglass Mayer, a spokesman for Hogan, said the governor was unaware of any interactions between Mountaire and the Republican Governors Association. Mayer also said the accusations of “quid pro quo” don’t make sense. “The governor had an established position over a year before he was elected. He took office, and he put in very tough regulations that represented a compromise between the environmental and agricultural communities,” Mayer said. “It was a very big win and a major environmental accomplishment.” Mountaire did not respond to a request for comment.

Unforgiving cold has punished the eastern third of the United States for the past 10 days. But the most severe winter weather conditions will assault the area tonight and later this week. From Norfolk to the Maryland and Delaware beaches, including much of the southern half of the Delmarva Peninsula, 3 to 6 inches of heavy snow are predicted this evening to Thursday afternoon. Current computer models suggest most if not at all snowfall will occur east of D.C. and Baltimore tonight into early Thursday. Temperatures are forecast to be 20 to 40 degrees below normal, the coldest of the winter so far. Most locations in the MidAtlantic and Northeast are predicted to set record cold high temperatures on Friday with highs in the single digits and teens. (TWP)

local Annapolis bank works with the state’s new medical pot industry MARYLAND Most banks refuse to open accounts for cannabis-related businesses even in states where pot is legal, citing federal laws that outlaw the drug. In Maryland, however, at least one community bank is working with the state’s newly launched medical marijuana industry, offering growers and stores a way to avoid the security concerns

and costs of a cash-only approach. Two marijuana dispensaries and two growers said they have opened business accounts with Severn Savings Bank, an Annapolis-based community bank. The account-holders must pay hefty fees to Severn and can’t write checks or seek loans from the bank, because doing so might trigger scrutiny from federal regulators. The businesses say they go to extraordinary lengths to prove they aren’t violating the state’s strict medical pot rules. But the ability to pay employees through an automatic debit

A miserable yet safe 2017

Hatch to retire, opening door for Romney

TRANSPORTATION Your legroom and your patience for bag fees shrank in 2017, but there was one historic positive outcome for air travelers: Not one person died in an accident on a commercial passenger jet the entire year, the safest year ever, according to two airline safety groups. That does not mean 2017 was a year without aircraft crashes that killed passengers. Dutch aviation consulting group To70 and the Aviation Safety Network found no fatalities due to accidents involving large commercial jets most popular with civilian passengers. Those important distinctions exclude deaths involving military and cargo airline crashes and accidents involving smaller, propeller-powered aircraft, like the 12 passengers killed in a Cessna crash in Costa Rica on

7.1M

Sunday in the closing hours of the year, and the 16 U.S. troops killed in a cargo plane crash in July. Two crashes involving turboprop planes were recorded by To70, in which 13 people died. The Aviation Safety Network estimated there were nearly 37 million flights in 2017, more than any year in history, meaning that aircraft mishaps are declining even as the number of flights continues to rise. The ASN, which tracks crashes using different metrics from those To70 uses, showed 10 recorded crashes involving small propeller planes and cargo aircraft, which killed 44 passengers and 35 people on the ground in 2017. In 2016, the group counted 16 accidents with 303 dead. The decline is a remarkable outcome for commercial airliners that managed to evade airborne disasters but racked up numerous

GETTY IMAGES

Airlines logged plenty of complaints, but no one died in a commercial jet crash fiascoes involving testy passengers and hostile crew. The combination of more flights, social media, rising fees and diminishing personal space has sparked a renaissance of airpassenger outrage. United Airlines stock plunged after video of a bloodied man dragged off a flight went viral; a Japanese airline apologized after a man who used a wheelchair had to climb a staircase on his hands; and a jolt of turbulence injured 10 on an international American Airlines flight, sending coffee into the overhead cabin lights. Adrian Young, To70’s senior aviation consultant, told The Washington Post that newer technology and enhanced air crew training have contributed to the improved safety record. Planes are crashing less often, and when they do, passengers are surviving at higher rates.

Cabins are more flame resistant and are built to evacuate more effectively than in the past. Passengers and their high-tech devices may provide the greatest risk to flights moving forward, Young said. Lithium batteries common in laptops, smartphones and tablets can overheat and ignite, and their proliferation may lead to disaster in the air. The credit for 2017’s safety record does not belong to one person, said John Cox, chief executive of Safety Operating Systems, an airline safety consulting group. “It was the work of thousands of people over decades. It’s not a one-year phenomenon,” Cox, a retired pilot, told The Post. When asked what the most dangerous part of flying can be, Cox often says it’s driving to the airport.

POLITICS Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said Tuesday he will not seek re-election after serving more than 40 years in the Senate, opening the door for former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney to run for his seat. Hatch, 83, said he’s always been a fighter, “but every good fighter knows when to hang up the gloves.” Hatch is the longestserving Republican in the Senate. He chairs the powerful Senate Finance Committee and was a major force in getting a tax overhaul through Congress. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who now lives in Utah, has been eyeing a Senate run, but President Trump had encouraged Hatch to seek re-election. Trump called Hatch “a special friend of mine” and thanked him for his vocal support when “it wasn’t exactly the easiest thing to do.” Romney has a far more tortured relationship with the president, having been a vocal critic of Trump’s during the 2016 campaign, including delivering a broadside address in March 2016 condemning Trump. But after the election, Romney submitted himself as a candidate to be secretary of state in a painfully public interview process. Since Trump’s election, Romney has been a frequent detractor, particularly after Trump equivocated on condemning white supremacists in Charlottesville last summer. MATTHEW DALY, KEVIN FREKING (AP)

nation+world SOUTH KOREA South Korea welcomed on Tuesday an offer of talks from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ahead of next month’s Winter Olympics, and suggested the two sides meet as early as next week. The offer of talks could lead to a temporary easing of tensions on the Korean peninsula. But experts reacted cautiously to the initiative, warning that North Korea was most likely borrowing from a well-worn playbook, hoping to win relief from sanctions and buy time to improve its nuclear program without offering any real concessions. In a New Year’s Day speech, Kim said he wanted to ease tensions with the South, was willing to send a delegation to the

Olympics and suggested the sides meet to discuss the idea. The Olympics will be Feb. 9-25 in PyeongChang, South Korea. Seoul’s Unification Minister responded Tuesday with an

offer to meet as soon as Jan. 9 at the shared border village of Panmunjom to discuss cooperation over the Olympics and how to improve overall ties. Talks, if they take place, would be the first in more than two years. Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon said the offer of talks had been discussed with the U.S. He said a decision had not yet been reached on whether to postpone South Korea’s next round of joint military drills with the U.S. until after the Olympics. North Korea sees those drills as preparations for war, and South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in said last month he had asked the U.S. military to postpone the joint drills until after the Olympics.

Iran’s leader blames protests on ‘enemies’ Ayatollah’s comments follow at least 10 deaths during a violent night IRAN Breaking his silence over nationwide protests that have included calls for his ouster, Iran’s supreme leader on Tuesday blamed the demonstrations on “enemies of Iran,” saying they were meddling in its internal affairs. The remarks by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on the demonstrations — the largest seen in Iran since its disputed 2009 presidential election — came after a bloody night that saw protesters try to storm a police station and the first deaths among its security forces. The unrest has killed at least 21 people in the past six days. The protests began Thursday in Mashhad over the stagnant economy, despite the lifting of international sanctions under the nuclear deal. The protests have since expanded across the country. Hundreds have been arrested, and a judge warned that some could face the death penalty. The 78-year-old Khamenei warned of an enemy “waiting for an opportunity, for a crack through which it can infiltrate.” “Look at the recent days’ incidents,” he said. “All those who are at odds with the Islamic Republic have utilized various

means, including money, weapons, politics and [the] intelligence apparatus, to create problems.” Khamenei avoided identifying any countries, although he promised to elaborate. The U.S. is undoubtedly high on his list. President Trump has tweeted his support for the protests. On Tuesday, he wrote that “the people of Iran are finally acting against the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime.” Analysts suggest that the protests were propelled by conservatives as a way to challenge President Hassan Rouhani, a relatively moderate cleric whose administration struck the nuclear deal. The apparently leaderless protests, fanned in part by a

messaging app called Telegram, then grew beyond their control, analysts say. The government has since shut down access to Telegram and Instagram, which join Facebook and Twitter in being banned. Early Tuesday, state TV reported rioters tried to break into a police station in the town of Qahdarijan, leading to clashes that killed six. Two more were killed in Khomeinishahr, while a member of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and a police officer were killed in Najafabad. In Tehran alone, 450 protesters have been arrested in the last three days, the semiofficial ILNA news agency said Tuesday. NASSER KARIMI AND JON GAMBRELL (AP)

Diabetes drug may treat Alzheimer’s A drug that was originally developed to treat diabetes has shown promise in treating Alzheimer’s disease, the New York Daily News reports. The drug “significantly reversed memory loss” in mice, according to a study published in the journal Brain Research. Mice given the drug showed reduced plaque buildup in the brain, a major sign of Alzheimer’s.

An about-face at EPA POLITICS For seven years, the Environmental Protection Agency had been embroiled in an enforcement battle with a Michiganbased company accused of modifying the state’s largest coal-fired power plant without getting federal permits for a projected rise in pollution. On Dec. 7, as the Supreme Court was considering whether to hear the case, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt issued a memo that single-handedly reversed the agency’s position. No longer would the EPA be “second-guessing” DTE Energy’s emission projections. Rather, it would accept the firm’s “intent” to manage its pollution without requiring an enforceable agreement — part of President Trump’s broader push to reduce the “burden” on companies, Pruitt wrote. The little-noticed episode offers a glimpse into how Pruitt has spent his first year running the EPA. In legal maneuvers and executive actions, in public speeches and closed-door meetings with industry groups, he has moved to shrink the agency’s reach, alter its focus and pause or reverse numerous environmental rules. The effect has been to steer the EPA in the direction sought by those being regulated. Pruitt has thus begun to dismantle Barack Obama’s environmental legacy, halting the agency’s efforts to combat climate change and to shift the nation away from its reliance on fossil fuels. Such aggressiveness on issues from coal waste to vehicle emissions has made Pruitt one of Trump’s most important Cabinet members — and one of

EPA chief Scott Pruitt has aggressively moved to shrink the agency’s reach.

YouTuber sorry for posting vlog of dead body

B R A DY D EN N I S A N D J U L I E T EI L P ER I N

Logan Paul, one of YouTube’s biggest stars, uploaded a nowdeleted video over the weekend titled “We found a dead body in the Japanese Suicide Forest . . .,” which showed extended footage of the body of an apparent suicide victim. In a short intro, Paul called it “the most real vlog I have ever posted on this channel” and “a moment in YouTube history.” Before posting, Paul demonetized the video so that he would not earn advertising money off its views. Paul has 15 million subscribers on YouTube, and his daily videos routinely get more than 5 million views. On Monday, amid outrage, the video disappeared from Paul’s YouTube channel, but not before it got more than 6 million views. The social media superstar tweeted out an apology, saying of his clout, “For the first time in my life I’m regretful to say I handled that power incorrectly.” Tuesday, he put out a second apology in a video, saying he now realizes he “should have put the cameras down.” A moment like this was perhaps inevitable in Paul’s world, where everything is content before it is anything else. The only wrong decision in this universe is to turn the camera off. Experiences that don’t become content are, in Paul’s world, money and influence left on the table.

ABBY OHLHEISER

MELINA MARA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

New boss Scott Pruitt uses his broad powers to single-handedly undo years of policy

the most controversial. “We’ve spent 40 years putting together an apparatus to protect public health and the environment from a lot of different pollutants,” said William Ruckelshaus, the EPA’s first administrator, who led the agency under Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. “He’s pulling that whole apparatus down.” But allies praise Pruitt for returning more power to individual states while scaling back what they see as the previous administration’s regulatory excesses. “It is a stark change, the way they solicit input from the industry that they’re seeking to regulate,” said Karen Harbert, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Energy Institute, who welcomes the shift. In an interview, Pruitt defended himself against critics. He said one of his priorities has been listening to “stakeholders that actually live under the

Does he eye bigger job? Scott Pruitt has been running the EPA for less than a year, but some people already are speculating about what the future holds for him. As Oklahoma attorney general, he was widely seen as a potential gubernatorial candidate there. Since he joined the Trump administration, rumors have swirled about whether he might pursue a Senate seat. He regularly heads to the White House Mess for lunch, which provides opportunities to run in to key Trump aides. Privately, Pruitt is said to have mused about whether he could occupy other Cabinet spots. (TWP)

regulations that we adopt. . . . I don’t understand how that’s not what I should be doing.” From the moment Pruitt arrived in February, he began using his broad executive authority to halt existing regulations and shift the bureaucracy. For example,

New York City to install 1,500 protective barriers in Times Square, other locations after vehicle attacks

within days of taking office, he canceled the EPA’s request that nearly 20,000 oil and gas companies gauge their emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The next month, he withdrew a proposed ban on a commonly used pesticide, chlorpyrifos, that the EPA’s own scientists had argued posed risks to human health. Pruitt didn’t wait to get to Washington to try to change the EPA. During the Obama administration, Pruitt sued the EPA 14 times as Oklahoma attorney general, challenging the agency’s authority to regulate toxic mercury pollution, smog, carbon emissions from power plants and wetlands and other waters. That litigation helped him learn how to change the EPA as the new boss. “All that suing he did for years,” Ruckelshaus said, “steeped him in the knowledge of the agency and how it works.”

THREE POINTERS

RUSTY COSTANZA (AP)

High points for Young

Defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne, who had an interception and a touchdown catch, said Alabama felt disrespected ahead of its semifinal win over Clemson.

BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST

Crimson complex: Mind games give Alabama an edge Here is how college football went totally topsy-turvy in the past month. Alabama lost one game. One. Its coach, Nick Saban, took that result and turned the Crimson Tide into a full-blown underdog. “We lost one game in a dogfight in a tough place to play,” said sophomore linebacker Terrell Lewis, “and it just went to, ‘Oh, ’Bama’s dynasty is over.’ ” Senior safety Tony Brown said: “I don’t feel like [Clemson] gave us the respect.” Oh, brother. This is Microsoft

as a feisty start-up, Walmart as a corner drugstore, Exxon Mobil as the local fill-up station. A loss at Auburn on Nov. 25 gave Saban a month to dissect Clemson before Monday night’s 24-6 dismantling of Clemson in the Sugar Bowl. A lot will be made of the coach’s preparation. But what of the voodoo he did on his own players’ minds, creating a scenario in which Alabama — winner of four of the last eight national titles, the only team to make all four versions of the College Football Playoff — believed the world doubted Alabama, which now faces Georgia on Monday.

“We definitely heard the world,” defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne said. What, exactly, the world was saying doesn’t matter. It’s what the players thought that does. The players were the characters who executed Saban’s plan. It was a defensive masterpiece, from Payne’s interception — which set him up for one of the only touchdown passes you’ll ever see a 308-pound man catch — to Mack Wilson’s pick-six to all but seal it in the third quarter. Clemson went without a TD for the first time since 2014. The Tigers averaged just shy of 450 yards for 13 games and were held to 188. So we got to hear the tales of how the Tide was told it stunk, when it actually didn’t. “People were saying we don’t belong [here], the SEC is weak,” Lewis said. “This is real personal.” That “personal” bit? It came straight from Saban, who

admitted as much afterward. “It was a little bit personal, I think, for us after what happened to us in this game last year,” he said. By “this game,” Saban meant not the semifinal — which Alabama won the past two years — but the national title game against Clemson, which ended in an epic, 35-31 Tigers victory. Saban made sure his players were aware of every slight, real or perceived. Saban made sure the Tide understood that Clemson had erected a tombstone back at its campus commemorating last season’s victory in the national title game. Never mind that it’s a long-standing Clemson tradition to mark significant road victories in this fashion. To Alabama, this became about the Tigers and coach Dabo Swinney mocking them. Was that the truth? Didn’t matter. It’s what they believed.

After Central Florida finished 13-0 on o Monday with a 34-27 win over Auburn in the Peach Bowl, coach Scott Frost said that the College Football Footba Playoff committee intentionally ranked the No. 12 Knights low all season. “It looked like a conscious consci effort to me to make sure that they didn’t have a problem if they put us too high and a couple teams ahead of us lost,” Frost said.

U.S. finals to determine which figure skaters will seek medals in S. Korea NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Imagine working for years, targeting one of the most elusive goals in sports. Then recognizing that all of those practices and competitions lead to four minutes or so when you must be at your best. Or else the dream collapses. That’s how American figure skaters approach this week’s national championships, which begin today in San Jose, Calif.,

and serve as the United States’ qualifier for the Winter Olympics in South Korea this February. Nathan Chen, 18, is coming off a Grand Prix Final victory. With five quadruple jumps in his free skate, he’s raised the technical level for all men. He’ll be a heavy favorite to make the Olympic squad and a strong contender for a medal in PyeongChang. Jason Brown, a 2014 bronze medalist in the team competition, Adam Rippon and Vincent Zhou figure to contend for the other two U.S. spots. There’s no overwhelming

Timberlake heads for the ‘Woods’

Packed with stars and symbolism

VIDEOS The new music video for JAY-Z’s “Family Feud,” off his album “4:44,” isn’t just a music video. The Ava DuVernay-directed film is more like a cinematic short latent with political and social messages. Here is a breakdown of the video, currently watchable only on JAY-Z’s Tidal.

The cast Among the short’s stars are some of DuVernay’s past collaborators: Mindy Kaling and Storm Reid (stars of “A Wrinkle in Time”); Henry G. Sanders (“Queen Sugar”); and David Oyelowo, who starred in “Selma” and was in her film “Middle of Nowhere” with Emayatzy Corinealdi and Omari Hardwick, also featured. The rest of the cast includes Susan Kelechi Watson, Jessica Chastain, Michael B. Jordan, Thandie Newton, Trevante Rhodes, America Ferrera, Brie Larson, Rosario Dawson, Rashida Jones, Constance Wu and Niecy Nash; Irene Bedard (the voice of “Pocahontas”); activist Janet Mock; and JAY-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter and wife, Beyonce (duh), who sings on the track.

The story

“Family Feud” begins in 2444, with two members of the same family in a monarchy fighting for power. Jordan storms into Newton’s bedroom, upset, to find Rhodes in her bed. Rhodes kills Jordan, and Newton then kills Rhodes. “It’s not his, it’s not yours,” she says. “It’s my throne.” “The first scene focuses on errors,” DuVernay wrote on Twitter. “All families hurt each other. Mistakes are made. Expectations unmet. Jealousies fester.” Next up, we see co-presidents (Bedard and Hardwick) explaining to Chastain the history of the nation. “My family has protected the law, striving for justice and dignity,” Hardwick says, narrating the flashbacks that follow. As DuVernay tweeted: “I loved the idea of [there] being CoPresidents of the United States in the future. And that a Native American woman was one of them. One of the first ideas I shared with [JAY-Z]. He was all in. We had fun dreaming this up.” We’re taken back to 2050 and to a room full of diverse women (Dawson, Jones, Wu, Nash, Mock, Larson and Kaling), where Watson, revealed to be playing Hardwick’s ancestor and “one of America’s founding mothers,” as Hardwick puts it, presides. Watson and these women “revised the Constitution over 444

Netflix renews Spike Lee’s series “She’s Gotta Have It” for Season 2

From top: In “Family Feud,” co-presidents Irene Bedard and Omari Hardwick tell the story of the women who rewrote the U.S. Constitution. Later in the video, Beyonce hears JAY-Z confess his sins in church.

TIDAL

JAY-Z’s ‘Family Feud’ video tells a futuristic, intergenerational story

Justin Timberlake on Tuesday teased the release of his forthcoming album, “Man of the Woods,” with a cryptic video. In the short film, shot mostly outdoors, Timberlake observes a group of horses in a field, touches snow on the ground, walks through a cornfield, sinks into a body of water and embraces his wife, actress Jessica Biel. “This album is really inspired by my son, my wife, my family — but more so than any other album I’ve ever written, where I’m from,” Timberlake says in voice-over. “And it’s personal.” “Man of the Woods” — Timberlake’s fifth studio album — is set for release Feb. 2, just two days before he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show. (EXPRESS)

years ago, at a time, mind you, when some thought making America great meant making us afraid of each other,” Hardwick says, with a not-so-veiled Trump campaign-slogan reference. “America is a family and the whole family should be free,” Watson says. Finally, we see JAY-Z in 2018 walking with Blue Ivy in an empty church. “It’s like I remember my father saying when I was a little girl,” Watson says. “Nobody wins when the family feuds.” Hardwick’s voice-over

concludes, “I have hope that we can shine again. We just have to remember from which we came. Family first, and always.” The film’s score then gives way to the actual song, “Family Feud.” JAY-Z raps in the church and in a confessional booth to Beyonce, referencing infidelity and shortcomings. “I’ll let the final scene just stay where it is. In the film, with that family,” DuVernay wrote. “May we all fortify our families. Our communities. Our society.” ELAHE IZADI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

JUSTIN SUTCLIFFE

BOOK REVIEW Cue up Kool & the Gang’s “Celebration,” because Rachel Joyce has a new novel out now, which means there’s a party goin’ on right here. “The Music Shop” is an unabashedly sentimental tribute to the healing power of great songs, and Joyce is hip to greatness in any key. The story’s hero is “a gentle bear of a man” named Frank, who owns a run-down music shop in England. His establishment is something between record store and walk-in therapy clinic. The year is 1988, and CDs are pushing vinyl into oblivion, but Frank won’t abide the antiseptic sound of those shiny little disks. “CDs aren’t music,” Frank says. “They’re toys.” His attitude is not just aggressive nostalgia, it’s a determination to hold onto a way of life, a way of engaging with objects and people. Frank’s specialty is finding just the right song to lift your spirits or quell your anxiety. But there’s a bass line of unhappiness running deep in Frank’s spirit. His boundless empathy, his devotion to helping everyone else, allows him to ignore his own festering grief and loneliness. “Frank was very y much a single

man,” Joyce w r ites. T he shop is all he needs. “It was safer to stay uninvolved.” One day a young woman faints outside Frank’s shop. She recovers quickly and darts away, but not before inspiring a number of questions among Frank’s friends. She was wearing a green coat; is she a doctor? Her coat had no holes in it; is she a movie star? And what about that German accent? The B side follows the pauses and swells of the improbable relationship between two people who had assumed they were done with love. Both Frank and

his mystery woman harbor disappointments too agonizing to face, but if vinyl can make a comeback, so can they. If you’ve read Joyce’s bestselling debut novel, “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry,” you already know her irresistible tone. There’s suffering here, too, and a searching journey, but this is a lighter book than “Harold Fry.” It’s a story that captures the sheer, transformative joy of romance — “a ballooning of happiness.” Joyce has a kind of sweetness that’s never saccharine, a kind of simplicity that’s never simplistic. Yes, the ending is wildly improbable and hilariously predictable, but Rachel Joyce, if music be the food of love, write on! RON CHARLES (THE WASHINGTON POST)
