When well-meaning people interfere with natural selection

This is what you get for doing anything dubbed a ‘life hack’

If you can skip the mayo, onions, and cheese, why not the dough?

A woman who lives in a seven-story Manhattan apartment building called 911 on Tuesday when she heard a man shouting for help from inside the wall of her first-floor unit. “I heard someone panting ... like they were in obvious pain,” she told the New York Daily News. Firefighters soon freed the man, who wore only his underwear. He said he had tried to get from the roof to his fourth-floor apartment through the ventilation system. (EXPRESS)

Ross Lebeau of Harris County, Texas, has been cleared of drug charges, UPI reported, after the substance found in his car Dec. 5 was retested and found to be ... kitty litter. The substance, which field tests indicated was almost half a pound of methamphetamine, had been stuffed in a sock to prevent the windows in Harris’ car from fogging up — a “life hack” suggested by his dad. Lebeau said of his arrest, “I would like an apology.” (EXPRESS)

State health inspectors on Tuesday visited a Jimmy John’s sandwich shop in Jacksonville, Fla., after a video posted on Snapchat showed employees using bread dough as a jump rope.

The inspectors said they cited the store for 17 violations, all but one of them minor. (EXPRESS)

he’s referring to the west front of the U.S. Capitol. And by “soft sensuality,” well, we really have no idea what he means by that. Barrack said the inauguration will be “amazing” and that planners are “trying to orient it toward the greatest tribute to America.” The day will have a “much more poetic cadence than having a circus-like celebration that’s a coronation. That’s the way this president-elect wanted it.” Amid earlier reports that bigname musicians didn’t want to perform on his big day, Trump got defensive, claiming that “socalled” A-listers all want tickets but they did little to help Hillary

Clinton, who had major backing from the celebrity world. Trump tweeted, “I want the people!” But he also later claimed that singer Jackie Evancho, who will sing the national anthem at his inauguration, received a “Trump bump” in album sales. (Though that may have more to do with Christmas.) And on Tuesday, his inauguration committee chairman seemed to signal that big stars wouldn’t be around. “The focus for this president, since he is a celebrity, is really on the place, on the people,” Barrack said.

At 60 feet, the yacht seats 20 people. Granted, it needs a new paint job and some internal repairs, but it is a bit of Hollywood nostalgia, according to Dick Phillips, the yacht broker selling it. In one scene in the movie, the boat is driving crazily around a bay, cutting off other boats and almost crashing into another. The boat, Phillips said, hasn’t been used much lately but still has “good electronics on it.” (TWP)

D.C. gets poor marks for Snowzilla cleanup

VIRGINIA

verbatim

THE DISTRICT D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s administration spent more than $40 million on snow removal for a single major storm last year, hiring contractors at whatever price they named and paying nearly $700,000 for hotel rooms and meals for workers in violation of federal procurement law, according to a new audit. In addition, more than $93,000 of the cost came from bank fees, because officials charged tens of millions of dollars for snow removal on city credit cards, sending the balance on the government’s account soaring to roughly 20 times its usual level. J.P. Morgan took the unprecedented step of shutting off the District’s line of credit until some of the card balances could be paid, as The Washington Post reported last year. In a letter to D.C. Council member Mary M. Cheh, D-Ward 3, who requested the audit released Wednesday, auditor Kathleen Patterson wrote that the costs, combined with the violation of federal rules, raise doubts about how much the federal government might reimburse D.C. under a federal disaster declaration that had been issued by President Barack Obama. As the Jan. 22, 2016 storm,

Audit: City spent over $40M to remove snow, including $93K in fees

A Jan. 22, 2016, storm dumped as much as 22 inches of snow on parts of D.C.

nicknamed Snowzilla, dumped as much as 22 inches of snow on the city, D.C. officials signed deals with dozens of private construction companies, the auditor wrote. The hourly rates paid for dump trucks, loaders, drivers and other support were often far in excess of past practice. In some cases, they were inconsistent — some contractors were paid as much as 77 percent more than others, for using the same type of equipment and providing the same services. Officials at the city’s Department of Public Works “indicated that they did not seek to negotiate costs at all, and merely engaged independent contractors at the price they offered,” the audit said. “It appears likely that the

District paid substantially more than was necessary for snow removal services and the failure to set maximum prices or engage in negotiations raises the possibility that such overpayment will occur in the future,” the report concluded. Asked about the audit, Bowser said she had not yet seen it, even though her administration had submitted a detailed written response to the auditor two weeks ago. At a Wednesday news conference on a different matter, the mayor said her administration was committed to fiscally sound decisions and had already identified areas for improvement. She also said she was proud the city was able to recover fully from the storm within a couple days.

VIOLENT CRIME

The decrease in violent crime in D.C. from 2015, Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Peter Newsham announced Wednesday, including a 17 percent reduction in homicides and a 13 percent reduction in robberies. In 2015, crime in both categories was up over the previous year. Nonetheless, the District still had its second-highest homicide total of the decade last year, with 135 slayings. The mayor also announced a new patrolling strategy for city officers that allows police to focus on smaller geographic areas. (AP)

$2M grant to help clear untested rape kits Attorney General Mark Herring said Wednesday that Virginia will use a $2 million federal grant to continue clearing out a backlog of untested rape kits and improve the way the state handles sexual assault cases. Last year, Virginia received a grant to analyze nearly 2,000 rape kits that were untested as of June 30, 2014. Some were decades old. While a change in state law ensures that kits completed on or after July 1, 2016, are properly submitted, the new money will cover testing of kits collected in the gap. (AP) MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Delegate resigns ahead of session Move comes as latest blow to Md. Democrats facing bribery scandal MARYLAND Longtime state Del. Michael Vaughn, D-Prince George’s, resigned Wednesday morning, less than an hour before the official start of the 2017 legislative session, citing health reasons. His departure is the latest blow to Maryland Democrats, who have become embroiled in a long-running bribery and corruption investigation that U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein says involves “more than one” current lawmaker. On Tuesday, Rosenstein announced that, as part of the investigation, former Prince George’s council member and state delegate William A. Campos had pleaded guilty to accepting bribes in exchange for official favors. Last week, federal authorities reported the arrests of a Prince George’s County liquor board commissioner, the executive director of that board and two liquor store owners, who are accused of paying bribes to influence state legislation and secure grant money and favorable regulatory decisions. Vaughn’s two-sentence resig-

Families of slain confront Roof Loved ones express anger, compassion for killer sentenced to die CHARLESTON, S.C. One by one, family members of nine slain black parishioners addressed Dylann Roof for the last time Wednesday, shouting at him, offering forgiveness and even offering to visit him in prison as he awaits execution. The 22-year-old avowed white supremacist refused to meet their gaze and stared ahead, his head tilted down slightly as it had been for much of his trial.

U.S. indicts six executives in Volkswagen scandal

“Dylann,” Janet Scott said quietly as she started speaking. “Dylann! DYLANN!” she said, her voice rising. Toward the end of her remarks, she said, “I wish you would look at me, boy.” Scott, an aunt of 26-year-old Tywanza Sanders, the youngest victim killed in the massacre, talked about her nephew’s “great big heart,” which could not be donated because of the police investigation. The final statements came a day after jurors sentenced an unrepentant Roof to death. The gunman had one last chance to ask for mercy but told jurors

he still “felt like I had to do it.” O n We d ne s day, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel formally Roof confirmed the sentence. “This hate, this viciousness, this moral depravity will not go unanswered,” he said. Although family members testified at Roof’s trial, the formal sentencing hearing gave them a chance to speak directly to him, without prosecutors or the judge interrupting or asking questions. Roof had an opportunity to speak but did not say anything.

Sheila Capers, the sister-in-law of Cynthia Hurd, said she prayed for Roof’s soul to be saved. “If at any point before you are sentenced and you’re in prison and you want me to come and pray with you, I will do that,” Capers said. Roof, who is the first person ordered executed for a federal hate crime, plans to appeal the federal case. He also faces murder charges in state court. Prosecutors said he will remain jailed in Charleston until the state charges are resolved. No trial date has been set. JEFFREY COLLINS (AP)

BEAUTY CONTEST

Study: Politicos on the right are better looking Conservative politicians will be happy to learn that they generally are better-looking than their liberal counterparts. A recently published study in the Journal of Public Economics concludes that candidates’ attractiveness correlates with their politics. The study finds that politicians on the right are more attractive in Europe, the United States and Australia. The study shows correlation, not causation, but the researchers float a simple economic explanation: Numerous studies have demonstrated that goodlooking people are likely to earn more money, and that people who earn more are typically more opposed to redistributive policies, such as the progressive taxes and welfare programs often favored by the left.

Trump concedes on Russian meddling

community of leaking the information to get in “one last shot at me,” saying, “Are we living in Nazi Germany?” At the news conference, Trump and his aides took particular aim at CNN, which broke the story that intelligence officials had included the information in their briefings, and BuzzFeed News, which published a copy of the dossier in full. Trump refused to allow a CNN reporter to ask a question.

Conflicts of interest

POLITICS President-elect Donald Trump acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that he believes Russian operatives hacked the Democratic Party during the election, but he continued to dispute intelligence reports that Moscow acted to help him win. “I think it was Russia,” Trump said at a news conference in New York, when asked who was responsible for the public leaks of Democratic emails during the campaign. But Trump emphasized that he believes the Russians also would have released damaging information about him had they obtained such information. He angrily denounced news reports that U.S. officials had obtained an unsubstantiated dossier of potentially compromising personal information Russia has allegedly gathered about him, citing denials from the Kremlin that it has any such intelligence. U.S. officials reportedly included a two-page summary of the dossier in classified briefings on Russia’s meddling in the election given last week to President Barack Obama and, separately, to Trump. He and his aides, including Vice President-elect Mike Pence, called the leaks of the

information a smear campaign that aimed to damage Trump politically. “It’s a disgrace that that information would be let out,” Trump said. “I saw the information; I read the information outside that meeting. It’s all fake news — phony stuff. It didn’t happen.” Trump also addressed questions about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom he has expressed a desire to improve bilateral relations. “If Putin likes Donald Trump, guess what, folks, that’s an asset, not a liability,” Trump said. “I don’t know if I’ll get along with Vladimir Putin … but even if I don’t, does anyone in this room think Hillary Clinton would be tougher on Putin than me? Give me a break.” Trump made his remarks in his first news conference as president-elect, ending a period of 167 days since he had fielded questions from a full media contingent. Past winners of the presidency have traditionally faced the media much earlier. Earlier in the day, Trump had charged via Twitter that his “crooked opponents” are trying to undermine his electoral victory. He accused the intelligence

But president-elect denounces reports that Moscow has damaging info on him

Highlights from Trump’s news conference An estimated 250 journalists were at Trump Tower in New York to attend Donald Trump’s first news conference as president-elect. (AP/TWP) TAX RETURNS: He again resisted the belief that he should release his tax returns, saying, “The only ones that care about my tax returns are the reporters,” and suggesting the public does not care about the issue. IMMIGRATION: He insisted he will build a wall — not a fence — along the southern U.S. border with Mexico, reiterating that Mexico will “reimburse” the United States for the cost after it is initially funded by taxpayers. OBAMACARE: He said a replacement for the health-care overhaul would be offered “essentially simultaneously” with the repeal — something that would be virtually impossible to pass quickly given the complexity of the policy changes. SUPREME COURT: He said he would probably name his choice to fill the Supreme Court vacancy about two weeks after the inauguration. VETERANS AFFAIRS PICK: He said he tapped David Shulkin, a physician who is in the Obama administration as VA undersecretary, to lead the department.

Trump also announced Wednesday during the news conference that he will shift his assets into a trust managed by his sons and give up management of his private company, a step that will help the businessman move closer to resolving potential conflicts of interest. The move will target some of his most visible ethical vulnerabilities and push back against early criticism from Congressional Democrats who say his financial entanglements could improperly steer his presidential decision-making. The announcement included a pledge from Trump lawyer Sheri Dillon that the company would make “no new foreign deals whatsoever” during his presidency, and that any new domestic deals would undergo vigorous review. Dillon, a tax adviser at Morgan Lewis, said his company will also add an ethics adviser to its management team who would vet deals that could raise concerns about conflicts. And the company plans to donate money spent by foreign governments at his hotels to the U.S. Treasury, she added. But Trump’s commitment will not resolve what federal officials and ethics advisers say is his most key conflict: his continuing ownership of his business, the Trump Organization. That will ensure Trump will still have a vested financial interest in a global private company when he takes office next week. (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

Instead, Rex Tillerson suggested the outgoing Obama administration responded too softly to Moscow’s takeover of Ukrainian territory. The surprising shift in tone by Tillerson, a former Exxon Mobil CEO and Russian “Order of Friendship” recipient, reflected the difficulty Trump will have in persuading Democrats and Republicans to broach a broad rapprochement with President Vladimir Putin’s government. Calling Russia a “danger” to the United States, Tillerson said he would keep U.S. sanctions in place and consider new penalties related to Russian meddling in the presidential election. Although he said he hadn’t read last week’s classified assessment by the U.S. intelligence community, Tillerson said it was a “fair assumption” that Putin would have ordered the operation that purportedly included hacking, propaganda and internet trolls to harm Hillary Clinton’s candidacy and advance Trump’s. But in a puzzling revelation, Tillerson conceded he hadn’t yet talked with Trump about a Russia policy. “Russia today poses a danger, but it is not unpredictable in

advancing its own interests,” Tillerson told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He added that Trump’s administration would be committed to the defense of America’s NATO partners, an obligation the president-elect called into question during the campaign. While his statement reflected some of Trump’s desire for improved ties, Tillerson quickly pivoted under pressure from both sides of the aisle. On Russia’s 2014 annexation of the Crimea region, he said, “That was a taking of territory that was not theirs.” Still, he criticized President Barack Obama’s sanctions on Russia, which ended up costing Exxon hundreds of millions of

dollars. And he declared that he would have responded by urging Ukraine to send all available military units to its border with Russia and recommending U.S. and allied support through defensive weapons and air surveillance. Sen. Marco Rubio, a former Trump rival who has expressed skepticism about Tillerson’s ties to Russia, came out swinging. He is the only Republican on the committee who suggested he might oppose Tillerson. Rubio asked whether Tillerson would label Putin as a war criminal, but he refused do so. Rubio responded by describing the behavior of the Russian military in Aleppo, Syria, where they are

accused of targeting civilians and causing mass casualties in that country’s civil war. “Those are very, very serious charges to make, and I’d want to have much more information before reaching that conclusion,” Tillerson said. Rubio said he found that comment “discouraging.” If all 10 Democrats on the committee vote against Tillerson, and Rubio or any other Republican joins them, the nomination would then be referred to the full Senate with “no recommendation.” That would be an embarrassment for such a high-profile Cabinet nominee and could signal a larger battle.

SESSIONS CONFIRMATION HEARING

Booker testifies against Senate colleague

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., broke precedent Wednesday by testifying against the nomination of fellow Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., to be attorney general. Booker, who said Sessions, left, would not protect the rights of women and minorities, became the first sitting senator to testify against a colleague’s Cabinet nomination. Booker said he would always follow “what my conscience tells me what is best for my country.” (TWP) Trump Treasury pick Steven Mnuchin to sell 43 assets to avoid conflicts of interest

President Obama’s farewell address in Chicago on Tuesday night was less a recitation of accomplishments than a reassurance of future stability — a vote of confidence and calm. “I leave this stage tonight even more optimistic than when I started,” Obama said. “You changed the world. You did.” That relentless optimism — that everything he, his administration and his supporters fought for meant something — was suffused throughout the speech. “Our democracy is threatened whenever we take it for granted,” Obama said, in his best line of the night. He urged people to volunteer. To organize. To run for office. To swap social media fights for in-person conversations. What Obama offered was the same solution he did in 2007: True democracy isn’t about the leaders, it’s about the people. “Yes we can,” he said near the end of Tuesday’s speech. “Yes we did.” No one could have foreseen the arc of that message. The country’s first black president elected and re-elected. Then the election of a man whose entire existence runs counter to Obama’s legacy. What Obama seemed to be saying is that if I can hand the baton to Donald Trump, then you sure as hell can do your part to ensure the continued vibrancy of our political system. CHRIS CILLIZZA

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

The next few months could prove whether Scot McCloughan can elevate the Redskins into true Super Bowl contenders. The first two years for Washington’s general manager were marked by two average drafts and too many failed free agents. Now he has to decide who to keep between two 1,000-yard receivers — Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson are among the team’s 16 free agents — and search for an impact player with the 17th overall pick in the draft. And that pesky Kirk Cousins decision still lingers. Upon his arrival in January 2015, McCloughan was treated as a savior for a club that lacked a true general manager since Charley Casserly resigned in 1999. In two years, McCloughan has turned a franchise that was a sideshow into a football operation. Building teams that went 9-7 and 8-7-1 seemed Lombardi-like.

But the Redskins need more. After firing defensive coordinator Joe Barry last week, the team pledged to increase free-agent spending on that side of the ball. A day after the season-ending loss to the New York Giants, coach Jay Gruden took a jab at McCloughan by saying the team has to do more with its first-round picks than drafting someone who barely played and a guard. Receiver Josh Doctson, Washington’s top pick in 2016, was plagued by Achilles problems and played only 31 snaps. Guard Brandon Scherff was the first pick of the McCloughan era. Most importantly, the personnel man’s work all starts with Cousins. Maybe ownership kept McCloughan from signing the quarterback to a long-term deal last year, but it’s time to commit to Cousins or look elsewhere. Using the franchise tag last year was bad enough. Using it again would only continue to cloud the future. Make a deal with Cousins now or start looking to the draft. March 1 is the deadline

Scot McCloughan has to decide how to deal with free-agent QB Kirk Cousins.

to apply franchise or transition tags. It’s too early to judge the past two drafts, but so far they’ve been underwhelming. McCloughan claims to prioritize taking the best players available, but he drafted for need when he took Scherff fifth overall in 2015. The Redskins coveted line help, but Scherff was quickly exposed when he played tackle and moved inside. He made the Pro Bowl in his second season, but topfive picks should be better than even a standout guard. Second-round linebacker Preston Smith has underperformed, and third-round running back Matt Jones was benched halfway through the 2016 season. McCloughan

did score with fourth-round receiver Jamison Crowder, and second-round safety Su’a Cravens looks promising. Otherwise, McCloughan’s drafts have been marginal. Aside from Josh Norman, McCloughan’s free-agent signings have largely reflected minimal investments. They’re short-term placeholders. McCloughan needs a splashy move. Chiefs safety Eric Berry and nose tackle Dontari Poe, both under 30, are unrestricted free agents at positions of need. This offseason, it’s time for McCloughan to shine — or else he’ll lose some luster. Rick Snider has covered sports in Washington since 1978. Follow him on Twitter @Snide_Remarks

Hail Mary masters Packers perfect slow-developing play to the chagrin of defenses Randall Cobb hauls in a 42-yard TD pass from Aaron Rodgers to end the first half against the Giants.

STACY REVERE (GETTY IMAGES)

NFL The other evening a man stopped in a Lambeau Field corridor, where a television was replaying Aaron Rodgers’ latest Hail Mary touchdown pass. The man watched as the Packers’ quarterback dropped back and fired the ball on such a high arc it was as if he were simulating a punt. Befuddled Giants defenders ran into each other and mistimed their jumps as the ball landed in the hands of Green Bay’s Randall Cobb. The man was understandably impressed — with his team, his luck and with himself. “That’s how you draw it up,” Rodgers would say, moments after standing in that corridor to watch himself execute the most exciting play in sports for the third time in about 13 months. In many ways a successful Hail Mary — which most NFL teams practice, mostly as a refresher on how to defend the play — is a series of little miracles. Converting a Hail Mary is exhilarating; surrendering one is a psychological kill shot. Just look what it did to the Giants on Sunday in a first-round playoff game: After two mostly mistakefree quarters, the Giants were outscored by Rodgers and the Packers 24-7 after halftime and outgained 259-162. Rodgers’ 42-yard touchdown as the first half expired was enough to deflate the Giants; Green Bay therefore advanced to

play top-seeded Dallas on Sunday in the second round, and New York’s brief postseason ended. The most amazing thing about Rodgers’ Hail Mary was that he keeps doing this. Green Bay stunned Detroit with a similar play in December 2015, then did it again during a playoff game against Arizona last January. “It’s fun. Every single time, it’s fun,” Rodgers said Sunday. There’s an art to it, and the Packers seem to have mastered it. Coach Mike McCarthy said his team practices the play each Saturday, though like other teams, it’s not quite a live simulation. Rodgers said he hasn’t actually

thrown a Hail Mary pass since early in the season; often players simply run toward the end zone and take their places, pretending a ball is bearing down. The risk of injury is too great, the odds of completing the pass too long, to actually throw it. In games, the height Rodgers puts on his pass makes it like a missile coming down, and as the seconds pass and the pressure builds, defenders forget their assignments and just react. “It’s an anxious five or six seconds,” former NFL defensive back Fred Smoot said. “You need a Xanax just to get through [it].”

A group of organizers with deep NFL ties plans to launch a new professional football league that will offer an alternative to college football while providing a salary and the instruction they feel is lacking in the college game. Pacific Pro Football aims to start in 2018 with four teams in southern California playing six to eight games in July and August. Its talent pool will be limited to athletes who are less than four years removed from high school. Don Yee, the agent for Patriots QB Tom Brady, is the league’s CEO. Former NFL coach Mike Shanahan, below, and Adam Schefter of ESPN are part of its advisory board. (TWP)

“I guess my favorite thing about a Reuben is it’s one of those super-balanced dishes,” says chef Marjorie MeekBradley. She likes its contrasting flavors (fatty meat and acidic sauerkraut) and textures (gooey cheese and crunchy bread). Meek-Bradley developed her own riff on the Reuben at her recently opened sandwich shop: It’s called the Messy. Rather than boiled corned beef, Meek-Bradley uses a smoked pastrami

(she intends to start making corned beef soon to satisfy traditionalists), and Comte stands in for the similar Swiss cheese. For vegetarians? Smoked portobellos. Meek-Bradley says she thinks part of the rising interest in Reubens can be attributed to chefs’ adherence to the DIY mentality, from smoking their own meat to fermenting their own sauerkraut and baking their own bread. But, really, it may come down to one fact: “Everyone loves a Reuben,” she says.

740 Sixth St. NW

Ilyse Fishman Lerner grew up on the Reuben in Boca Raton, Fla., consuming more than her fair share at the deli across the street from her high school. Now that she has her own sandwich shop, she’s paying homage to her memories with several types of Reubens. Her key to keeping them all tasting like her beloved sandwich, she says, is maintaining “that right ratio” of flavors. Her most traditional take still includes corned beef,

but she has upgraded the meat to lean brisket made from wagyu, the high-end Japanese beef. She also offers a wagyu pastrami Reuben, and another version made with turkey. The most radical departure for Lerner: vegetable Reubens, which “have been very popular,” she says. She makes two meat-free options, one with roasted beets that swaps Gouda for the Swiss and another with portobello mushrooms and broccoli. “There’s a lot of ways to play with them,” Lerner says.

Joselito’s black-and-white palette is meant to echo the style of restaurants in early-20th-century Spain.

It’s not all tapas in Spain — or at Joselito RESTAURANTS Joselito is Javier and Christiana Candon’s second restaurant, and in some ways it’s the opposite of their first. The couple opened SER in Ballston, Va., in 2015, serving traditional Spanish food in a modern setting. Joselito, on Capitol Hill near Eastern Market, will serve modern takes on Spanish food in a more traditional setting. Joselito, which opened this week in the old Sona Creamery space, isn’t a tapas restaurant, chef David Sierra says. The menu, featuring about two dozen items divided between hot and cold dishes, will draw inspiration from all over Spain, with contemporary flourishes. Sierra doesn’t plan to go all El Bulli — the famed modernist restaurant in Spain that served the likes of flowers pressed in cotton candy — but diners can expect creative techniques, including an olive oil dust used as

a garnish on smoked cod. Other dishes include a mussel and octopus salad, wagyu with chimichurri, and habas con chocos (lima beans with cuttlefish), the favorite dish of Javier’s father, for whom the restaurant is named. Most dishes will be available in three sizes: small (tapa), entree (media racion) and family-size (racion). Diners can also opt for a family-style tasting menu of $50 per person. “We’re not trying to innovate,” Javier said of the dish sizes, “because that’s the way it is” in Spain, his home country.

“In Spain, they make it easy for you to eat.” CHRISTIANA CANDON, co-owner of Joselito, explaining that the new restaurant’s dishes will come in three sizes, as at many places in Spain

“In Spain, they make it easy for you to eat,” Christiana says. Joselito’s beverage program is another nod to Spain, featuring Spanish beers on tap, sherry, cava and a variety of other Spanish wines. Javier crafted the cocktail list and will offer his own liqueurs, including spirits infused with huckleberries or herbs. Starting Sunday, Joselito will host a daily happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. Rather than a limited menu, it will feature a 20 percent discount on all food and drinks. Lunch service begins Thursday. As for the traditional setting? It’s meant to echo the early-20thcentury cafes of Spain, with a black-and-white palette of Spanish floor tiles and marble tables. For a cozy, lived-in touch, the walls are covered with old photos of Javier’s family. BECKY KRYSTAL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

I’ve frequently staggered past Ollie’s Trolley parched and starving without even thinking of stopping in. I’d always assumed it was a trap for nostalgia-loving tourists. An old-timey diner with kitschy decor just seems out of step given D.C.’s trend of sleek, modern restaurants — places like BGR and GRK, where even vowels are shunned as needlessly decorative. However, getting to more modern fast-casual spots requires a long, steep hike from the National Mall. Could Ollie’s Trolley, at 12th and E Street NW, provide a more convenient, equally tasty option? Last week, my husband, Steve, and I decided to find out. It was a sleepy, rainy Monday, but the place was hopping. Among our fellow diners: a municipal worker reading a romance novel, businessmen tapping on their phones and a half-dozen Australian tourists. Steve and I stood next to a porcelain cow that stretched from ceiling to floor and was secured to the counter with a web of plastic wrap and wire. Stepping past a sign that read, “Don’t touch the valuable antiques,” we placed our order: an Ollie Burger for Steve, a veggie burger for me, and fries and drinks for us both. The total cost, $25.94, seemed pricey but not out of the ordinary for downtown D.C.

“Would you like Ollie Sauce with that?” the cashier asked me. “What’s Ollie Sauce?” I said. “Thousand Island dressing,” she replied, apparently unconcerned about giving up the trade secret. A remnant of a defunct burger chain that was also called Ollie’s Trolley, the restaurant is owned by Boris Galitzin of Potomac, Md. When I called Galitzin to hear more about the restaurant’s history, he explained that his family bought several Ollie’s Trolley locations when the chain folded in the late 1970s. “A lot of the other restaurants were actually shaped like trollies,” he recalls. One of those trolleyshaped restaurants still stands on Columbia Pike, where it serves as a Pedro and Vinny’s burrito stand. (The two other surviving Ollie’s Trolleys, in Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati, are also independently owned.) What accounts for the longevity of D.C.’s Ollie’s Trolley? Galitzin says the location — which the current incarnation of the restaurant has occupied since 1988 — is convenient for tourists and locals. He also credits the improvements he’s made since taking over in 2007, including a switch to 100 percent Angus beef from Roseda Farm in nearby Monkton, Md., which the staff grinds fresh several times a day. He also installed a modern charbroiler, which imparts a flame-grilled taste,

Other than that, Galitzin has stuck to the chain’s original recipes, which were invented by the restaurant’s namesake, Ollie Gleichenhaus, at his Miami diner in the 1930s. That includes a 32-spice blend for the burgers and a special burger sauce, which does begin with a Thousand Island dressing base, Galitzin admits. “Ollie was an eccentric guy. If you tried to order your burger well done, he would literally tell people to get the F-word out of his restaurant,” Galitzin says. “Our standard is medium rare, but we’ll cook burgers however people want.”

My husband was unaware of this backstory when he bit into his medium-rare Ollie burger and declared it “very good.” When pressed for more detail, Steve said the burger “is better than Five Guys and on par with Shake Shack, though not as good as In-N-Out.” The veggie burger was also tasty if a bit dry — I had unwisely opted against the Ollie Sauce. We both agreed the shoestring fries had a nice peppery flavor and tasted quite fresh. The antiques sprinkled around the dining room are another innovation of Galitzin, who added them when he bought the place from his niece. “We have peanut and popcorn machines that are over 100 years old and a coffee grinder from the 1890s,” he says. “Since it’s an old-timey restaurant, I figured we should

have old-timey things.” Other aspects of Ollie Trolley’s decor, like the black and pink confetti-patterned carpet and mismatched laminate tables, appear to hark back to a more recent past — the late ’80s or early ’90s, I’d guess. By the time we finished our lunch, I no longer saw the hodgepodge decor as a jarring departure from sleek, modern D.C. eateries. A fast-casual spot with high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, Ollie’s Trolley is right on trend, as far as its food goes. I suggested to Galitzin that they get with the vowel-free program and change the name to “Ll’s Trll.” “No thanks,” he said. “Our history is what makes us special.” In two weeks, The Staycationer visits the Newseum.

‘Julieta’

“Akira,” a 1988 anime film from Katsuhiro Otomo, is set in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo where motorcycle gangs run rampant and a telepathic force makes life pretty miserable. At the time of its release, “Akira” was the most expensive animated film ever produced in Japan, and it was money well spent — almost three decades later, the sweeping, innovative visuals still hold up. Night owls can take it in, and then walk out feeling very jumpy every time a motorcycle goes by.

Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s latest, “Julieta,” opens in the area on Friday. Julieta (played at different ages by Emma Suarez and Adriana Ugarte) and her daughter Antia haven’t spoken in 12 years; in the hopes that Antia will decide to contact her, Julieta returns to their old apartment. While there, she begins to write a journal, attempting to understand why the relationship collapsed. In doing so, she begins to examine her own youth and how her choices led to the shattering of her family.

‘Roe’ and the great divide STAGE The very last line of “Roe” has changed since the play premiered at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival last April. “Right now, with the Supreme Court behind us, well, as of this moment, Roe still stands.” That’s the line right now, as of this moment. Playwright Lisa Loomer added “with the Supreme Court behind us” last summer, after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down abortion restrictions in Texas. She added “as of this moment” after the presidential election. Loomer figured the changes were necessary, considering that her play is about the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion and that the political party that has long vowed to overturn that decision is coming into power. Now, just eight days before Republican, anti-abortion President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in to office, and one week after House Speaker Paul Ryan announced plans to defund Planned Parenthood, “Roe” opens Thursday at D.C.’s Arena Stage. “I remember thinking that our play was going to be part of Hillary Clinton’s history, that we were a part of that story with our play, showing up [in D.C.] at the same time,” says Sara Bruner, one of the two lead actresses in “Roe.” “I don’t know how it will feel doing the play now. I don’t

know how people will respond.” In the fact-based play, Bruner plays the real-life Norma McCorvey, the young, impoverished pregnant woman who sought an abortion in 1960s Texas and was given the alias “Jane Roe” in legal documents to protect her identity. Sarah Jane Agnew plays Sarah Weddington, the novice lawyer who took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that laws restricting abortion in the United States violated a woman’s right to privacy. Leading a cast of 12, McCorvey and Weddington tell the story of the trial and their relationship in the past tense, speaking as narrators in the present day. Despite their victory, the play doesn’t end with “My Body, My Choice” signs hoisted high, or with “girl power!” on any character’s lips. “[The play] is not pro-choice,” Agnew says. “It’s about the divisive issue of reproductive rights. And it presents both sides very respectfully. It reminds us to be compassionate and look at another side and be considerate in a room with 500 other people for two hours — two-fifteen maybe, with pauses for laughter.” That’s the other surprising thing about “Roe” — it’s really funny. Weddington and McCorvey often address the audience directly, whining over the ways the other has changed the story to make herself look better. And at one point, Weddington introduces the audience to her husband, only to awkwardly reveal that they will be divorced shortly after Roe v. Wade is decided.

Norma McCorvey (Sara Bruner), left, and lawyer Sarah Weddington (Sarah Jane Agnew), center, make history together in “Roe.”

McCorvey (Bruner), left, and Weddington (Agnew) tell it like it was.

Though “Roe” ends with the women on opposite sides of the abortion issue (McCorvey converted to Christianity in the 1990s and began speaking out against the Roe decision), the play does not demonize either. Loomer, who also co-wrote the screenplay for 1999’s “Girl, Interrupted,” takes pains in the script to humanize every character, be it the pastor who leads protests against Planned Parenthood, or Weddington, who

blatantly uses McCorvey as a poster child to push her interest in reproductive rights. Bruner says Loomer’s goals with “Roe” were that any member of the audience could see his or her views on abortion represented onstage and that everyone will be more understanding of others’ views because of that. This presentation of multiple complex viewpoints “could be described as a bait and switch,” Bruner says. “The lure is, ‘Here,

I’m telling your side, your story.’ And then once you gain the ear and the mind and the heart, you can start challenging that a little bit, which I think the play does really successfully.” Bruner and Agnew are happy that no one will agree with every single line of “Roe.” “I don’t want to be telling the play to people who are just nodding their heads the whole time,” Bruner says. And though Agnew has long wished the real Weddington would attend the show, her dream guest, she admits with a laugh, is Vice President-elect Mike Pence. “I think a lot of people won’t come to the play because it’s called ‘Roe,’ and they’ll think, ‘Oh those liberals in the theater again,’ ” Bruner says. “And that’s not what we’re doing here. You know who I want to see the play? The people who don’t want to see the play. Because they would be surprised.” LORI MCCUE (EXPRESS)

COMMUTE BETTER.

The works

Among the papers are reproductions of handwritten essays that eventually became “The Second Sex” (1949), de Beauvoir’s most significant work. Also included are others’ works that show her impact on feminism through the years, including writings by Kate Millett and an issue of Bust magazine.

STAY INFORMED.

The abundance

De Beauvoir, who died in 1986 at age 78, was no expert at decluttering, especially when it came to her desk. “She literally had removed the drawers to pack in more material,” Osborne Bender says.

PLAN AHEAD.

The vibe

The installation isn’t an exact replica of de Beauvoir’s Paris studio, Osborne Bender says, but is meant to evoke the spirit of the writer’s space. “She was surrounded by all the materials she read and wrote,” she says.

The changing face of bodies Beauty standards are so fickle, we’ve seen major shifts in just the past 30 years — from voluptuous, sporty ’80s supermodels to ’90s waifs and on to impossibly curvy Kim Kardashian types today. If you take an even longer view, to a time when painters and sculptors — rather than photographers — captured and disseminated beauty ideals, taste starts to look even more fickle, says Pace University art history professor Janetta Benton, who will discuss Western artists’ idea of sexiness during Saturday’s day-long Smithsonian Associates class “Changing Ideals of Physical Beauty in Art: The Mystique of the Chic Physique.” “Lucky is the person who was born in the right time in history when they were proclaimed the paradigm of beauty,” Benton says. “If you don’t like what you look like now, you can take consolation in the fact that you would have been considered wonderful at some point in the past or will be in the future.” If you ever get your hands on that time machine, you’ll want to know in which era you’d be worshipped for your looks. These works of art, from Benton’s class, can provide a handy guide. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) S. Dillon Ripley Center, 1100 Jefferson Drive SW; Sat., 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., $140.

It just doesn’t connect up.”

Doryphoros (Spear-Bearer)

Jan van Eyck’s ‘Eve’

Carved from limestone, this figurine was made about 25,000 B.C. by people who lived in a harsh, ice-age environment in what’s now Austria. Food was scarce, so obtaining the Venus’ idealized rolls of fat would have been difficult, if not impossible, Benton says. “It’s a perverse fact of human nature: We always want what we can’t have,” she says.

This Roman copy (from 120-50 B.C.) of a lost Greek sculpture (circa 440 B.C.) represents a young, muscular athlete as the paragon of beauty, Benton says. “Today we would consider him to be quite ideal, with one exception: The roll of fat above his hips was considered a sign of beauty in antiquity, though today we disparagingly call them love handles,” Benton says.

Eve, as painted on one of the panels of the Ghent Altarpiece, isn’t meant to look pregnant, Benton says. In the 15th century, the ideal beauty had a big, round belly and a relatively flat chest — a look that elegant ladies emphasized with padding under their clothes. “It was a sort of pregnant look I know a lot of us would like to see come back into style,” she adds.

Sight Art Museum of the Americas: “Jose Gomez Sicre’s Eye: Works from AMA’s Collection,” a half-century ago, Cubanborn curator Jose Gomez-Sicre took the reins of the Organization of American States’ art program, thrusting himself head-on into the rapidly expanding Latin American art world, bringing young and emerging talent to the OAS’ budding exhibition space. Impassioned by the arts, Gomez-Sicre planted the seeds of what is today considered among world’s finest collections of

modern and contemporary Latin American and Caribbean art. AMA will be celebrating the centennial of GomezSicre’s birth throughout the exhibition, honoring his contribution to the legacy of art of the hemisphere. “The Great Swindle: Works by Santiago Montoya,” Colombian artist Santiago Montoya draws upon political history and uses such materials as banknotes and food coupons to create works that question our collective ideals and aspirations, reflecting upon past dreams of nations and the seeming disconnect of the realities that follow. Embarking upon “The Great Swindle” series before the financial crisis really took hold of the world, Montoya saw banknotes

as ready-made painted surfaces, as snapshots of time, theaters in which political propaganda and historic events play out. Yet these paintings come with their own preassigned commercial value, which forms the basis of all international trade, monetary relations and infrastructure, resulting in artwork saturated with layers of meaning. 201 18th St. NW; 202-370-0147, museum. oas.org.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY

goingoutguide.com

National Museum of American History: “Always Ready: Firefighting in the 19th Century” explores how, before the Civil War, American firefighters were volunteers. art practices and museum spaces, and artistic interventions. Shechet’s ceramic sculptures, some created specifically for the exhibition, are included. “Jake Berthot: From the Collection and Promised Gifts,” an exhibition of works received in 2015 from the artist’s estate. “Jacob Lawrence’s The Life of Toussaint L’Ouverture,” this special exhibition features 15 rarely seen silkscreen prints created by American artist Jacob Lawrence between 1986 and 1997. The series portrays the life of Toussaint L’Ouverture (17421803), the former slave turned leader of Haiti’s independence movement. Lawrence had explored the same subject more than 40 years earlier when he was only 20 years old in a series of paintings of the same title (now in the Amistad Research Center, New Orleans). The celebrated paintings, which were featured prominently at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1939,

laid the groundwork for Lawrence’s lifelong interest in the human quest for freedom and social justice. While he based these later prints on the earlier paintings, Lawrence distilled the story to 15 works from the original 41 panels and significantly expanded their scale. Lawrence worked closely with master printmaker Lou Stovall to translate the specific colors and fluid movement of the original tempera paint to each composition created from hand-cut stencils. 1600 21st St. NW; 202-3872151, phillipscollection.org.

Woodrow Wilson House: “Evolving Elections: The Transformation of Campaigns, Inclusivity, and Festivity, 1916 and 2016,” comparing the recent election with that of 100 years ago, the exhibition features 1916 campaign buttons and Woodrow Wilson’s unique election walking stick. 2340 S St. NW; 202-387-4062, woodrowwilsonhouse. org.

A man of the real people ‘Patriots Day’ director Peter Berg prefers fact over ‘making up stories’

The Force is strong with Los Angeles

KAREN BALLARD

FILM Peter Berg, the director of “Deepwater Horizon,” “Lone Survivor” and “Friday Night Lights,” has a fondness for movies based on real events. His latest, “Patriots Day,” opening locally Friday, tackles the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the subsequent investigation and manhunt. “I like spending the time, doing the research and meeting the real people,” Berg says. “I find it to be more inspiring than making up stories.” Of course, that means you have to get people to talk — in this case, Berg and star/producer Mark Wahlberg spent three months in Boston before shooting even began, talking to witnesses, law enforcement and victims. “I think one of the biggest challenges is getting the people to trust you, to feel you’re a worthy custodian of their story,” Berg says. “It’s about building that relationship with them.” One relationship Berg did not build was with bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev:

Peter Berg directs a scene for his latest fact-based film, “Patriots Day,” about the Boston Marathon bombing.

Tamerlan was killed in a standoff with police, while younger brother Dzhokhar was captured, tried and sentenced to death (he is currently in prison). Still, Berg wanted at least a little of their story included in the film. “I did a lot of research on the Tsarnaev brothers, and I think they are people worth exploring,” Berg says. “These are kids you see every day at Starbucks, or at the movies, and I wanted to show

PAY GAP

Portman says Kutcher was paid three times more

‘Love Connection’ is back with Andy Cohen as host

Natalie Portman told Marie Claire UK magazine that Ashton Kutcher was paid three times as much as she was for co-starring in 2011’s “No Strings Attached.” “I wasn’t as pissed as I should have been,” Portman said. “I mean, we get paid a lot, so it’s hard to complain, but the disparity is crazy.” She added that she doesn’t “think women and men are more or less capable. We just have a clear issue with women not having opportunities.” (AP)

Fox has ordered 15 episodes of a reboot version of the dating show “Love Connection,” the network announced at the TV critics’ winter press tour on Wednesday. Andy Cohen will host the show, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and “The Bachelor” showrunner Mike Fleiss will executive produce. “Love Connection” sends single people on blind dates and they detail the experience in front of a live audience.

a bit of what their life was like. But I wanted to be very careful we didn’t paint them as anything other than narcissistic, sociopathic cowards, because that’s what I think they were.” The character at the center of the story — Wahlberg’s Tommy Saunders — is actually a composite of two real-life Boston police officers involved in the investigation. “It was better to [have a

fictitious character] than to pretend there was this big cop who did all sorts of things he didn’t really do, which would have really angered the entire Boston Police Department,” Berg says. “So when we said we were going to composite up that character, everybody was really OK with it. It made it more real, I think, because there really was no supercop — it was a team effort.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

“I think it will be out this year. (But hey, I thought the same thing last year.)” GEORGE R.R. MARTIN, author of the “Song of Ice and Fire” saga that inspired HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” writing on his blog that fans should expect the longanticipated next book in the series, “The Winds of Winter,” to come out this year

MUSEUMS When a strange complex rises over Los Angeles in the coming years, the silvery structure will be neither moon nor space station but a $1 billion museum devoted to storytelling art. In his dogged quest to construct the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, it seems filmmaker and Star Wars creator George Lucas has finally found a home. The board of directors for the Museum of Narrative Art announced that construction will begin in L.A.’s Exposition Park by the end of 2017. Throughout recent months, the board had entertained the idea of building the museum in either San Francisco or Los Angeles. The City of Angels emerged the victor. Lucas and his wife will provide an investment of $1 billion, which they say will include art Lucas owns and a $400 million endowment. There will be “Star Wars” memorabilia, of course, such as the prop mask worn by David Prowse, who played Darth Vader in the original “Star Wars” trilogy. Lucas, a prolific collector, will donate some 10,000 pieces. The art in his collection is as diverse as MAD magazine covers, a 520 B.C. Greek amphora depicting warriors in battle, R. Crumb illustrations, and paintings by N.C. Wyeth and Maxfield Parrish. As Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told the AP on Jan. 3, “This is the largest civic gift in American history.” BEN GUARINO (THE WASHINGTON POST)
