‘Think about being better Americans’
Jason White was visiting D.C. from Texas for Trump’s inauguration when he left a note and $450 tip.
Harris admits that White was right. She did prejudge them, by instantly assuming they were in town for President Trump’s inauguration by appearance alone, even though by that point the signature red baseball cap had been tucked away. When the men finished their meals, White decided to leave Harris, a 25-year-old AfricanAmerican woman, a message on
the receipt. Then, after he wrote it, he left a $450 tip on their $72.60 bill, a 620 percent tip. “We may come from different cultures and may disagree on certain issues, but if everyone would share their smile and kindness like your beautiful smile, our country will come together as one people,” the note reads. “Not race. Not gender. Just American.” Being in D.C. for Trump’s inauguration and then witnessing the Women’s March the next day, White, 37, felt both events represented the very foundation of what it means to be an American. “We have to think about being better Americans, we have to look into ourselves and how we treat one another,” he said. The men were gone before Harris saw the receipt. She read White’s words before she saw the tip, and the words alone were enough to overwhelm her. “This definitely reshaped my perspective. Republican, Democrat, liberal are all subcategories to what we are experiencing,” she said. “It instills a lot of hope.” COLBY ITKOWITZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The three white Texan men knew they stuck out in a place where African-American art and images cover the walls. And White said he could sense when his waitress greeted them that she knew they did too. But Rosalynd Harris had arrived at work that morning still high off the energy from the Women’s March. Her customers Saturday had been abuzz with an optimism that was contagious. So she was especially cheery when she greeted White and his friends. They chatted. They told her they were from West Texas. White is a dentist and he complimented her on her smile.

Greenpeace activists unfurled a giant banner downtown that was visible from the White House on Wednesday.
Protesters scale crane with banner for Trump Greenpeace activists air their gripes over environmental rules THE DISTRICT The morning after President Trump issued orders to delay environmental rules and restart pipeline projects, seven Greenpeace protesters climbed a 270-foot-tall construction crane blocks from the White House and unfurled a massive banner with the word “RESIST.” The banner encouraging opposition to Trump’s agenda was clearly visible from the grounds of the White House for several hours Wednesday. Protesters hoped it would get under his skin.
“There’s nothing that irritates him more than to know he’s not popular and we don’t like him,” one of the protesters, Karen Topakian, said in an interview over FaceTime from up on the crane. D.C. police took a hands-off approach while the protesters suspended themselves from harnesses and ropes below the crane’s huge arm. Police closed three city blocks to traffic and appeared content to wait until they climbed down to be arrested. The protesters scaled the crane before dawn. They revealed the banner after 9 a.m. and remained atop the crane into the afternoon before beginning a slow descent. John Evans, 46, a carpenter who works on the site, said the
protesters were clearly experienced climbers, noting that they were moving their legs and shifting positions to maintain their blood circulation. “Look how organized they are. They have the same equipment that I use every day,” he said. “They’re professionals. Amateurs couldn’t stay up there that long.” The protest comes a day after Trump signed orders intended to restart construction of two oil pipelines, the Dakota Access and the Keystone XL. Former president Barack Obama halted the Keystone XL pipeline in 2015 and the Army Corps of Engineers blocked the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline in December. BEN NUCKOLS (AP)
PROTESTS
Are scientists the next to march on D.C.? The next big march on Washington could flood the Mall with scientists. It’s an idea spawned on Reddit, where several scientists — concerned about the new president’s policies on climate change and other issues — were discussing the best way to respond to what they feared would be an administration hostile to science. University of Texas Health Science Center postdoctoral fellow Jonathan Berman, took the conversation to heart. In short order, the march had a Facebook page (whose followers swelled from 200 people on Tuesday night to more than 300,000 by Wednesday evening), a website and two co-chairs. The group tweeted Wednesday that the date of the march will be announced next week. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

D.C. defiant in face of Trump’s threats City could lose billions in funds in crackdown on ‘sanctuary cities’
THE DISTRICT D.C. officials warned that the nation’s capital could lose millions — or even billions — in federal assistance annually after President Trump signed a vaguely worded order to crack down on communities that resist the deportation of illegal immigrants. Speaking at the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday, Trump singled out so-called “sanctuary cities” like D.C., Chicago and Los Angeles as causing “immeasurable harm” to national security by refusing to help the federal government identify and deport undocumented residents. Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security to examine ways to limit “federal funds, except as mandated by law” to sanctuary cities — wording that puzzled elected officials and municipal attorneys. Budget officials in D.C. said the use of the word “funds” could include a wide range of federal assistance to D.C., including $2.5 billion in annual Medicaid contributions — or roughly 20 percent of the city’s total annual spending. “This is a federal issue and the administration should not

be dumping it on the cities,” said D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, who said he was worried by the initial assessment of city budget officials. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a news conference Wednesday that she is still reviewing the executive order, but affirmed that D.C. was a sanctuary city. D.C. is the only jurisdiction in the region that has embraced the label “sanctuary city.” Other communities, including Montgomery County and Baltimore, walked a careful line Wednesday, seeming not to classify themselves as strictly sanctuary jurisdictions, even as they are widely considered such.
During the evening rush hour, more than 400 protesters marched down the block from the White House chanting in favor of immigrants. Among the undocumented immigrants who showed up was Catalina Velasquez, a trans woman who has lived in the country for 15 years and received legal protections under the Obama administration for people brought to the country illegally as a minor. “If I am deported, I am deported to a death sentence. I am a trans woman; it’s not safe for me anywhere I go,” said Velasquez, 29. “But this is the safest.” A ARON C. DAVIS, PETER JAMISON AND FENIT NIRAPPIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Will protesters stay or go? CANNON BALL, N.D. Most of the demonstrators who gathered on the North Dakota plains to oppose the Dakota Access oil pipeline declared victory and departed their protest camp last month after the Army announced it would halt the project. Now that President Donald Trump’s administration is pushing to complete the pipeline, the few hundred protesters still living on the wind-whipped prairie must decide what to do — accept the likely defeat and leave, or stay and keep fighting. Some vow to stay, but Trump’s

An immigration blitz Trump signs directives to start border wall with Mexico, target ‘sanctuary cities’ Funding for President Trump’s border wall remains up in the air.
‘Sanctuary’ status comes to restaurants
GUILLERMO ARIAS (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)
POLITICS President Trump signed a pair of executive actions Wednesday to begin ramping up immigration enforcement, including a new border wall with Mexico, vowing that construction on his chief campaign pledge would begin in months. In an appearance at the Department of Homeland Security, Trump kicked off the rollout of a series of directives aimed at clamping down on the estimated 11 million immigrants living illegally in the U.S. Aides said more directives could come later this week, including new restrictions on refugees and immigrants from Muslim-majority countries. The presidential directives signed Wednesday aim to create more detention centers, add more federal border control agents and withhold federal funds to cities that do not comply with federal immigration laws. One order calls for “immediate construction of a physical wall.” “We are going to restore the rule of law in the United States,” Trump told DHS employees after signing the directives. “Beginning today the United States gets control of its borders.” The construction of a wall along the southern U.S. border was Trump’s chief campaign promise as he blamed illegal immigration for constricting the U.S. job market and adding to national security concerns. But it remained unclear how Trump’s directive would accelerate construction of the wall, the funds for which would have to be appropriated by Congress, or pay for the added 10,000 immigration officers and 5,000 border control agents. Analysts have said the total costs of Trump’s border wall
could approach $20 billion. Administration officials have said they are discussing funding options with GOP lawmakers. While Trump has repeatedly promised that Mexico will pay for the wall, U.S. taxpayers are expected to cover the initial costs and the new administration has said nothing about how it will compel Mexico to reimburse the money. One of the executive actions Trump signed Wednesday appears to signal that he could restrict aid to Mexico. In an interview with ABC News earlier Wednesday, Trump said, “There will be a payment; it will be in a form, perhaps a complicated form.” Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who has insisted his country will not pay for a wall, is expected to meet with Trump at the White House next week. White House officials said Trump’s appearance at DHS was meant as the first step in a rollout of a series of executive actions
Spicer: No DACA change White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday that President Trump would not sign any orders overturning the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that has allowed more than 700,000 younger immigrants brought to the country illegally as children to apply for two-year work visas. Trump has promised to overturn DACA, which has been enormously popular among the immigrant rights community. “The president understands the magnitude of this problem,” Spicer said of DACA. “He’s a family man. He has a huge heart.” (TWP)

Francisco — that do not report undocumented immigrants to federal authorities. Another action leaked Wednesday calls for an immediate 30day halt to all immigrant and non-immigrant entry of travelers from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Somalia, all Muslim-majority countries whose citizens “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.” Once signed, it would allow even those with visas to be turned away at U.S. airports and entry points. Additionally, all refugee admission and resettlement would be halted for 120 days — and until further notice, from Syria — while reviews of vetting procedures are conducted. Once restarted, annual refugee admissions from all countries would be cut from 100,000 to 50,000. During his campaign, Trump controversially called for halting entry to the U.S. from Muslim countries. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)
BUSINESS The national debate over immigration policy could be coming to a diner near you. Dozens of restaurants nationwide are seeking “sanctuary” status, a designation owners hope will help protect employees in an immigrantheavy industry. Roughly 80 restaurants are participating, in locations including New York, Minneapolis, Detroit and Oakland, California. The restaurants agree to antidiscrimination policies, put up signs that pronounce their status and receive know-your-rights training, such as webinars on how to ask federal immigration agents for proper paperwork if there’s an attempted raid. But the National Restaurant Association, which represents roughly 500,000 businesses, is instead pushing for an immigration overhaul, including an updated verification system that confirms that employees can work in the country legally. An estimated 1.3 million in the restaurant industry are immigrants living in the country without legal permission, according to Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, which launched the campaign. “This is not about a restaurant harboring people in a closet. This is about creating a safe space,” said Saru Jayaraman, a co-founder of ROC United. “Employers have a responsibility to protect their workers.” SOPHIA TAREEN (AP)

Trump’s packed docket
Wednesday was another busy day in President Trump’s first full week in office, and a pair of executive actions to begin ramping up immigration enforcement dominated the news cycle. Here are five other significant developments that didn’t attract quite as much attention as the president’s signature border wall with Mexico. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)
Potentially lifting ban on ‘black site’ prisons
‘Send Feds’ to Chicago A day after Trump declared he was ready to “send in the Feds” if Chicago can’t reduce its homicides, Mayor Rahm Emanuel warned against deploying the National Guard. Trump offered no details on what kind of federal intervention he was suggesting, but the mayor cautioned that using the military could make matters worse.“We’re going through a process of reinvigorating community policing, building trust between the community and law enforcement,” the mayor said. Sending troops “is antithetical to the spirit of community policing.”
A draft of an executive order, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post, calls for a policy review that could authorize the CIA to reopen “black site” prisons overseas and potentially restart an interrogation program that was dismantled in 2009 after using methods widely condemned as torture. If signed, this could return the CIA to a role that ended in a swirl of criminal investigations, strained relationships with allies and laws banning the use of waterboarding and other brutal interrogation tactics.
‘Major investigation’ into voter fraud claims Trump plans to ask for a “major investigation” into allegations of widespread voter fraud as he continues to claim, without evidence, that he lost the popular vote because millions of illegal votes were cast, according to tweets posted Wednesday. Trump did not indicate who would lead such an investigation or what ground it would cover. Press secretary Sean Spicer didn’t use the word “investigation” during a briefing, instead saying the president wants a “study” or “task force” to study the issue of fraud, especially in “bigger states.”
Silencing agencies
Scientific shutdown
The White House says certain agencies are taking action to address the “inappropriate” use of social media. Spicer addressed an incident at the National Park Service in which tweets about climate change disappeared shortly after they were sent. He said an “unauthorized user” tweeted “inappropriate things that were in violation of their policy.” Emails sent to Environmental Protection Agency staff detailed prohibitions banning press releases, blog updates or posts to the agency’s social media accounts as part of a push to institute a media blackout.
The Trump administration is mandating that any studies or data from scientists at the EPA undergo review by political appointees before they can be released to the public. The communications director for Trump’s transition team at the EPA, Doug Ericksen, said Wednesday the review also extends to content on the federal agency’s website, including details of scientific evidence showing that the Earth’s climate is warming and man-made carbon emissions are to blame. Former EPA staffers said the restrictions far exceed the practices of past administrations.

Dow pushes past 20,000 for first time FINANCE The Dow Jones industrial average crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time Wednesday, the latest milestone in a record-setting drive for the stock market. Strong earnings from Boeing and other companies helped push the Dow past the threshold early on. U.S. stocks closed solidly higher, lifting the Standard & Poor’s 500 index and Nasdaq composite to record highs of their own for the second day in a row. “It’s a psychological event to get through that big hurdle, that big round number,” said Jeff Kravetz, investment strategist at U.S. Bank’s Private Client Reserve. “It’s really symbolic of what’s going on with investor sentiment becoming much more positive, and that’s going to drive stock prices higher.” The Dow, which tracks 30 major industrial companies, gained 155.80 points to 20,068.51. The S&P 500 index rose 18.30 points to 2,298.37. The Nasdaq added 55.38 points to 5,656.34. The market has been marching steadily higher since bottoming out in March 2009 in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The rally continued after the Nov. 8 election of Donald Trump. Wednesday’s rally came amid optimism on Wall Street that actions and policy goals announced by the Trump administration this week on trade, manufacturing and business deregulation will help corporate America.

nation+world High-level defector says he didn’t want his sons to live in dictatorship SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA The highest-level North Korean diplomat to defect to South Korea said Wednesday he decided to flee last year because he didn’t want his children to live “miserable” lives in the North. Thae Yong Ho, a former minister at the North Korean Embassy in London, told reporters at a news conference that he was lucky to have been able to bring both of his sons to London, unlike other North Korean diplomats who are forced to leave some of their children at home as “hostages.” After his sons, now 20 and 27, learned about life in Britain, they began asking him questions, such
as why North Korea barred use of the internet and executed people without proper legal procedures, Thae he said. Their British friends at school made fun of them over the nature of their homeland, he said. For instance, when they grew long hair, their friends laughed and asked whether they could be arrested in North Korea because they had heard all young men were required to have short haircuts. “These kinds of questions bombarded my sons,” said Thae, who was released into society last month following months of custody by South Korea’s intelligence agency. Thae said he talked frankly with his sons about North Korea and
concluded that they would have “miserable” lives if they returned home because they had come to know the truth about the country. Before their defection to South Korea, Thae said he told his sons that he was going to “cut the chains of slavery and you are free men.” He said they are happy and “feeling a true sense of freedom” in South Korea. Thae said his disappointment with autocratic North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was another reason he defected. “I’ve known that there was no future for North Korea for a long time,” Thae told The Washington Post. Thae, reportedly under police protection, said he doesn’t worry about possible attempts by North Korean agents to kill him. (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

John Wall and the Wizards enjoyed their seventh win in nine games Tuesday against the Celtics.
REDSKINS CHATTER
Intentions for Cousins
Contender construction The Wizards have won more games since Dec. 1 than any other team in the East NBA LeBron James howled for reinforcements after the Cavaliers lost five of seven games. The Raptors entered Wednesday with losses in six of their past 10. The Celtics sputtered to their third straight loss when they fell to the Wizards this week. The Hawks could start mortgaging talent by the trade deadline. All of this uncertainty in the top half the Eastern Conference playoff picture has cracked the door for another team to push in, and Washington is on the verge of doing so. Yes, the Wizards, who looked so lost at the season’s start, who lost eight of their first 10 games and nine of their first 12, including clunkers against the Magic, 76ers and Heat — three of the East’s four worst teams. Washington appeared primed to swiftly dash dreams of significant improvement from a playoffless 2016 after luring coach Scott Brooks to the nation’s capital and sinking bags of cash into a bench
upgrade this past offseason. But these aren’t the same Wizards. Following that slow start, the Wizards have not only stabilized, but significantly improved. After backing up some tough talk and a decision to wear all black to Verizon Center with a comprehensive 123-108 victory in their “rivalry” game against the Celtics on Tuesday, Washington has won seven out of nine overall, holds an NBA-best 14game home winning streak and sits in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. As of Wednesday morning, the Wizards were just three games behind the Raptors for second. For a franchise and a fan base accustomed to the bottom falling out, this has been a pleasantly surprising reversal of fortune. But can it continue? And is the improvement under Brooks legitimate? The evidence suggests the answer to both questions is yes. The biggest reason for the team’s surge is the backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal.
WARM WINTER
19-9
The Wizards’ record since Dec. 1, which is the best in the Eastern Conference. Through Tuesday, only the Warriors (22-5), Spurs (21-5) and Rockets (23-7) were better in that time. Since Dec. 1, the Wizards had the sixth-best offensive rating in the NBA — behind only Toronto in the East — with 110.1 points per 100 possessions. They ranked 13th in defensive rating by giving up 106.4 points per 100 possessions. T.B.
When the pair admitted this summer to disliking each other at times on the court, it became the perfect offseason storyline. Since the year began, it’s been easy to forget about those comments, mainly because of the immense production they’re giving the Wizards on a nightly basis.
Redskins WR Josh Doctson (Achilles) still not cleared to run without restrictions
Wall is unquestionably having his best season, posting career highs in virtually every category. He’s scoring 23 points per game and has never finished a season averaging more than 20. He’s averaging 10 assists for the third straight season and currently surpassing career bests in field goal percentage, free throw percentage and steals. Beal (21.9 ppg) is having his best season and has sat out just four games. Through Tuesday, Otto Porter Jr. was leading the league in 3-point percentage (45.6). A starting lineup including Markieff Morris and Marcin Gortat has mitigated poor production from the bench, one of the team’s significant weaknesses. A dismal road record of 6-14 is the other. But a top-four seed and the chance to advance past the first round of the playoffs for a third time in four years — which hasn’t happened in nearly 40 years — are very much in play. The past two months show it’s possible. TIM BONTEMPS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“We totally anticipate Kirk coming back to the Washington Redskins, and we’re very excited about parlaying two very good years as the starting quarterback into a third year and watching him grow,” Gruden told The Washington Post on Tuesday at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
Bruce Allen Redskins team president
“Kirk’s our quarterback. He played well the last two years, and I know there’s other speculation, but it doesn’t come from the Redskins,” he said Tuesday on SiriusXM NFL Radio. Allen told the same interviewers last year he thought a longterm deal would be worked out with Cousins. It wasn’t.

Terps off to best start since Steve Francis era Through 20 games, Maryland (18-2) boasts best mark in 18 years COLLEGE BASKETBALL Mark Turgeon could not see this coming eight months ago, when he was scrambling to assimilate his freshman class and mining the graduate transfer wire after losing four starters. In May, the Maryland coach might have laughed if you said his team would be 18-2 and tied for first in the Big Ten by late January. But there he was Tuesday night, trying to make sense of a 67-55 home win over Rutgers. His team had committed 18 turnovers and allowed 22 offensive
5
rebounds against the worst team in the league. But junior Melo Trimble stomached an illness and scored a game-high 17. Freshman Kevin Huerter had 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds. Maryland gutted out another league win, and afterward, a team official told Turgeon that the 18-2 start was the team’s best through 20 games since 1998-99. For all of Maryland’s warts — it struggled with ball security and on the boards Tuesday — Turgeon is an early candidate to win Big Ten coach of the year. Trimble has rebounded from a difficult sophomore year. Senior Damonte Dodd has improved on offense and is now a two-way player. Junior Jaylen Brantley has
been a revelation off the bench. Maryland brings a 4-0 road record into Saturday’s game at Minnesota but will have to travel to Northwestern and Wisconsin during one week in February. Trimble didn’t want to look ahead at everything in front of his young team Tuesday. He instead looked back and was almost floored by the history. The 1998-99 team was led by three-time NBA All-Star Steve Francis, and Trimble was asked what that meant to him. “Uh, Steve Francis. I don’t really remember that year,” he said with a laugh. “It’s a good start. Our biggest thing is just keep getting better.”

Carter ran the opening leg, and Bolt took the baton third in a team that also included Michael Frater and Asafa Powell.

A new dim sum spot has got beef COMING SOON A native of Peru, Irvin van Oordt grew up eating beef not only from famed Argentine cattle but also from old dairy cows, those bovine beasts of burden that in the United States produce mostly milk, not meat. Van Oordt is betting diners at Tiger Fork, the chef-driven dim sum stop opening next month in Blagden Alley, will enjoy old dairy cow beef just as much as he does.
THREELOCKHARTS PR
Tiger Fork’s top chef swears you’ll love beef from old dairy cows
Chef Irvin van Oordt wants to share with diners at Tiger Fork the dairy cow beef he grew up eating.
As the restaurant’s executive chef, van Oordt plans to use old dairy cow meat in a number of dishes, including beef tongue with XO sauce. The meat “has so much flavor and intense umami-ness, you know?” says van Oordt, who will lead the kitchen with chef Nathan Beauchamp, one of the Fainting Goat principals behind the new project. “I think [people are] going to fall in love with that.” Tiger Fork is scheduled to open in early February at 922 N St. NW, in the former Rogue 24 space. Aside from the flavor, the chef believes the meat is simply “more responsible and
more sustainable” than other sources of beef. Since taking the gig at Tiger Fork, van Oordt has been furthering his education in Hong Kong cooking. He’s returned to the dim sum restaurants along Rockville Pike, near where his family moved when he was young. He’s also made trips to New York to study the art and science of dough making for Hong Kong buns, dumplings and other dim sum dishes. (The Tiger Fork team has been working with Lumos, a Manhattan bar specializing in cocktails made with the high-proof Chinese spirit baijiu,
“DEEPLY THOUGHT-PROVOKING ... SURPRISINGLY FUNNY.”
and a certified Chinese medicine specialist to develop a drinks menu that provides medicinal benefits.) Van Oordt says Tiger Fork won’t be a dim sum house with a slavish devotion to tradition. It will draw from numerous Chinese provincial cuisines, including Sichuan. It may even borrow from the traditions of Muslim Chinese cooking, found in many major Chinese cities. “Dim sum is small Chinese plates,” van Oordt says. “If you think about that concept, you can do a lot of things.” TIM CARMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER
The Newseum, a seven-story building with the First Amendment chiseled onto its stone facade, is a grand monument to some of my favorite freedoms: speech, press, religion and, um, the other two. And yet I rarely visit the place. The steep ticket price — $24.95, as compared to $0 for all the nearby Smithsonians — is part of the reason, but it’s also because the flashy building seems to run counter to the gritty profession it purports to represent. I don’t trust it, just like I wouldn’t trust a beat reporter with a penchant for bespoke suits and luxury cars. “Who paid for that?” is the question that comes to mind. When I visited the Newseum last week, the answer was both clear and obfuscated. I found plenty of discreet plaques paying homage to corporations like Comcast (sponsor of the 9/11 Gallery) and Bloomberg (sponsor of the Internet, TV and Radio Gallery), plus one screen outside the News History Gallery playing a lengthy commercial for News Corp. The Newseum claims curatorial independence, but when I came across a display case heralding the advent of Fox News as an important milestone in the history of journalism, I couldn’t
help but feel suspicious. In many ways, the Newseum reminded me of the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, a building-shaped commercial for its namesake corporation — though a more perfect analogy would be a World of Soft Drinks erected by all of the major soda manufacturers. Like the World of Coca-Cola, a visit to the Newseum begins with a “4-D” movie. I joined a group of teens in the mostly empty theater and donned my 3-D glasses. We were whisked into the Revolutionary War as reported by newspaper publisher (and combatant — a clear conflict of interest) Isaiah Thomas. As troops rushed into battle, I felt what I assumed was someone kicking the back of my seat. Then I realized the seat was motorized, and it jiggled around vaguely in time with events in the movie — lurching forward, for instance, as a ship pitched in the sea. That is, apparently, the fourth dimension. The movie then jumped to the story of Nellie Bly, who got herself committed at a New York insane asylum to write an exposé of the inhumane conditions there. Then we fast-forwarded to Edward R. Murrow’s live broadcast of the London bombings during WWII. All three stories are played for maximum drama, with whizzing musket balls and

These are flashy and inspiring examples of journalism, for sure, but what about the work of modern investigative reporters? Newseum, I want to see a movie where the Post’s David Fahrenthold is imperiled by towering, 3-D stacks of Trump Foundation tax filings. I rode a glass elevator up to the Newseum’s top floor and landed at “Louder Than Words: Rock, Power and Politics,” a temporary exhibit created in collaboration with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A pair of 50-something men — the exhibit’s target demographic, I suspect — stopped to marvel at things like Jimi Hendrix’s guitar and Bob Dylan’s harmonica.
I was so impressed with Lady Gaga’s meat dress that I almost didn’t notice that this exhibit has no clear link to journalism. Another popular exhibit with a strained connection to the museum’s mission is “Inside Today’s FBI.” It features charismatic objects on loan from the agency, including an assault rifle used by the D.C. snipers and a car abandoned at Dulles Airport by Sept. 11 hijackers. I and my fellow tourists were transfixed by these objects, staring at them as if looking for any residue of evil left behind by their former owners. I noticed that the exhibit spotlighted mostly straightforward stories of FBI ingenuity and success — and that, once again, activated my journalistic skepticism. I later did a little Googling and found a 2016 Washingtonian article about how the FBI got to review the exhibit and offer editorial commentary before it opened. Perhaps it’s naive to expect a journalism museum to abide by journalistic ethics — lord
knows it’s tough to stay afloat by telling the unvarnished truth about things. But perhaps the Newseum is missing a teachable moment. At the end of the FBI exhibit, for instance, the Newseum could acknowledge the agency’s role and note why source review and accepting gifts are both forbidden at respectable newspapers. Instead, the FBI exhibit ends with a whiteboard that poses a question: “What would you give up to feel safer?” I watched as visitors wrote a variety of answers, including “my hair” and “my home.” “Really?” I asked a college freshman who had just written “my phone.” on the board. “You’d give up your phone for a sense of security?” “If I had to,” she replied. “What about the freedom of the press?” I asked, sassily. “Sure,” her friend answered before taking the marker and adding “press” to the already lengthy list.

The roughly 750-square-foot exhibit, which is targeted to children 18 months to 8 years old, was produced in partnership with the Explore! Children’s Museum of Washington, D.C., a museum slated to open in the Fort Totten neighborhood in 2019. One goal of the Portrait Gallery’s new children’s exhibit — which will run for at least a year — is to give parents a taste of what’s to come, says Rhonda BuckleyBishop, the Explore! Children’s Museum’s president and CEO. “The exhibits at the Portrait Gallery give a preview of what we will have at the Explore! Children’s Museum — play-based learning, with instructions in English and Spanish, for children with different developmental needs,” Buckley-Bishop says. Buckley-Bishop wanted to host the children’s museum’s preview exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery rather than another of D.C.’s many museums because portraiture is a particularly accessible art form, and also because of the museum’s location. “The location of the National

EXHIBITS While many children’s museums are painted in primary colors and festooned with oversized nuts and bolts, a child-focused space that opens Saturday at the National Portrait Gallery has taken a more subtle approach. The exhibit, “Explore! With the National Portrait Gallery,” aims to be a seamless extension of the larger museum, says Rebecca Kasemeyer, the gallery’s associate director of education and visitor experience. In a wood-floored gallery space, interactive activities presented on elegant pedestals inspire children to think of themselves as real artists. “The goal is for children to begin to think critically about the choices artists make and take what they’ve learned into the rest of the museum,” Kasemeyer says. One of the activities invites children to draw their caretaker’s silhouette with the aid of a light box and tracing paper. As the young artists negotiate with their subjects’ preferences — deciding, for instance, whether the model should tilt his or her head up to get rid of a double chin — they get a feel for the minefield of vanity that artists like John Singer Sargent navigated when depicting the rich and famous. Another exhibit, called “Strike a Pose,” lets children create self-portraits in the form of fivesecond videos. Twenty-five of the videos then appear in a square grid projected on a wall in this installation designed by New York-based artist Amanda Long. The activity gets kids to think broadly about portraiture, which can include moving and interactive images as well as traditional oil paintings, Kasemeyer says. “I think it ties in nicely to the

‘Leave a Little’ Eric Krasno
This is the first song Krasno has written for an upcoming concept album about the residents of a Brooklyn brownstone. It follows a woman in her early 20s having a rough night out. “There’s a lot of vocal psychedelia,” Krasno says. “This album is kind of my ‘Electric Ladyland.’ ”

The number of musicians in the orchestra, seated in a loft slightly above the stage. “If you’re going to invest in an orchestra, you’d better make sure people can see it,” director Matthew Gardiner says. “Otherwise, people are going to think it’s a recording.” Gardiner likes to think of the instruments, which play a score that incorporates traditional klezmer with gospel and soul music, as additional characters. Much like “Peter and the Wolf,” “Caroline” personifies several instruments. The clarinet, for example, is the struggling patriarch of the Gellman family, while the solemn bassoon represents Noah’s mother, who has recently passed away.

STAGE The musical “Caroline, or Change” is not exactly a grand, sweeping epic. The show, written by Tony Kushner and nominated for a Tony Award for best musical in 2004, tells the story of a black maid in the home of a Jewish family in 1963 Louisiana. And yet when the curtain rises on Round House Theatre’s new production Thursday, it will be the largest musical — in terms of cast, orchestra and production budget — in the company’s history. Director Matthew Gardiner
insists the show is deserving of the extra resources. He may be biased, but he’s also been a fan of “Caroline” since he saw it during its original Broadway run in 2003. “It was one of the first pieces of musical theater I saw that unapologetically took itself so seriously,” says Gardiner, who directed “La Cage aux Folles” and “West Side Story” for Signature Theatre over the past couple of years. “It was the first time I had viewed a musical as an art form that could make a statement. It wasn’t just entertainment for
entertainment’s sake.” The play explores the relationship between maid Caroline Thibodeaux (Nova Y. Payton) and the Gellmans, the family she works for — especially their 8-year-old son, Noah (Griffin McCahill) — as a case study of bubbling racial and economic tensions in the 1960s South. For Gardiner, producing this musical just a few months after an extraordinarily divisive election “changed [his] perception of the need to tell this story.” LORI MCCUE (EXPRESS)

The number of cast members in the show. Characters include people — like Caroline and the Gellman family — and objects that come to life in Caroline’s mind, like the washing machine, the dryer and the radio, who join voices in song while our hero folds laundry in the basement. “To get into Caroline’s head, [playwright Tony] Kushner and [composer Jeanine] Tesori created all these inanimate objects that allow us to understand the many sides of her,” Gardiner says.

The number of stories in the main set piece, one of Round House Theatre’s biggest ever, designed by Jason Sherwood. The skeletal house revolves to reveal different rooms in the Gellman home, where most of the show takes place.

A pop-up in Alexandria combines locally made bagels and pickles
HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
COURTESY BAGEL UPRISING; APRIL GREER (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
RESTAURANTS Bagels and pickles don’t really go together like peanut butter and jelly, but a new pop-up in Alexandria is trying to change that. It started when local food businesses Bagel Uprising and Number 1 Sons became friendly while selling alongside each other at a farmers market. That’s where they also became acquainted with Liz Davis, the owner of frozen custard shop Dairy Godmother. Davis offered them the use of her storefront on Mount Vernon Avenue during her winter hiatus, and the pop-up was born. (Davis has since announced she’s selling Dairy Godmother after 17 years in business. She posted a message Tuesday saying she expects the business to reopen in March with a new owner.) At the newly opened Salt | Bagel, which will run through Feb. 26, home baker turned Bagel Uprising owner Chad Breckinridge offers his full roster of five bagel flavors: plain, poppy, sesame, salt and everything. On market days, he’d been hand-forming, boiling and baking about 500 bagels, but he’s scaled that up by several times for the pop-up, with the help of a recently purchased 1,400-pound mixer. Breckinridge is continuing to balance bagels with his federal day job, but he’s using the pop-up to test the waters should he want to set up shop permanently in the

future. “My litmus test is, ‘Is it still fun?’ ” he says. “And can we make it work?” The bagels are used to make a variety of sandwiches with spreads developed by Number 1 Sons, the fermented food business that specializes in the likes of kimchi, krauts and pickled vegetables. Expect such cream cheese flavors as District Dill (fermented garlic and pickle spice blend), sweet potato pecan and apricot marmalade. Sandwiches include the Beet and Bleat, made with a poppy
seed bagel, goat cream cheese, pepitas, arugula and a spread featuring Number 1 Sons’ cider masala beets. The Dill Ray combines smoked salmon and dill cream cheese on an everything bagel with sprouts and pickled onions (a vegan version features smoked tofu salad). The full lineup of Number 1 Sons products is also available for purchase, which is especially nice, co-founder Caitlin Roberts says, because it will be the only place this season where they’ll be selling indoors.
So yes, it’s an unconventional pairing, but diners don’t seem to mind. Roberts says the bagels sold out within an hour of Salt | Bagel’s opening on Saturday and Sunday. If you want your breakfast in a hurry, she recommends visiting the pop-up on a weekday, when there’s less competition from weekend strollers.

John Cleese enjoys an inquisition Even if you’ve never seen anything from Monty Python, you know someone who has. In fact, you know someone who can recite the entire “Dead Parrot” sketch, who can do all the “silly walks” and who will ask whether a swallow is African or European. Much of the pioneering British comedy troupe’s absurdity came from the mind of member John Cleese, whose current stage show, “John Cleese Live,” combines a screening of 1975’s “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” with a post-movie Q&A session — with the polite disclaimer that there should be “absurd and/or ridiculous questions only.” Cleese took time out to answer our questions. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) I’m assuming you didn’t expect “Holy Grail” to be the success it ended up being. You never know when something is going to catch on. Sometimes you can be fairly confident that this is the sort of thing people want at the moment, and it’s met with apathy. Other times you do something off-the-wall and everyone loves it. None of us had any idea at all it was going to take off in this way, particularly in America, because it seemed to us when we were doing it that it was a very British [film]. Why do you think it did catch on here? The lucky thing was [the troupe’s British TV series, “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”] started coming out on PBS right before we released “Holy Grail.” So people had certainly latched on to Python, and then suddenly found there was a movie. So when you set out to make the movie, what would have defined success for you? I think if we made our money
back, and if we had made a little bit more. I think we got paid £4,000 each — £2,000 as actors and £2,000 as writers. Four thousand pounds is not a great deal for a movie. I don’t think you’d get Brad Pitt interested for £4,000. Did you make your money back? We did get our money back, and it’s been playing ever since. I’m surprised because I don’t think it’s as good of a film as “Life of Brian,” but Americans by and large do prefer “Holy Grail.” I don’t know if it’s because “Life of Brian” is about religion and that’s sort of a touchy subject here. I assume that the audiences for these live shows are pretty friendly. Does that take the pressure off you? When you get to my age, people sort of have heard of you and seen you once or twice, and they don’t think “I can’t stand him, he’s never made me laugh, so let’s buy six tickets.” It’s rather reassuring. Once in New York, [fellow Python member] Michael Palin — who is a very naughty
THINKSTOCK AND GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION
man — made me laugh by adlibbing something, and I laughed so much that by the time I sobered up I had totally forgotten where we were. I was so relaxed I turned to the audience and said, “What’s the next line?” and about 30 people shouted it out. Do you find that limiting, that people are so familiar with your work they can recite along with it? You know, I went to a concert of a very famous American singer at the Royal Albert Hall and in the second half he started singing some new songs — and the audience started booing. That
was when I realized that a lot of the time fans would rather hear the old stuff. And that’s a problem when someone in the arts wants to do something new — it’s always harder to get financial backing. It’s harder to do new things, but you have to because otherwise it’ll cause you to just wither away. Do the questions from the audience help you avoid that withering, since they make the show different every night? The critical questions are always the most fun, when people say, “Why can’t you stay married to one woman?” What you dread
is when people get up and say, “Your work has meant so much to me when I was in university and lost both of my parents” and you want to say, “Yes, darling, but this is not that interesting to the rest of the audience.” I love hearing that, but to the audience it doesn’t matter. I [prefer] talking to audiences about things like money and death and your [at the time] president-elect. If I have to earn money, there really isn’t a nicer way to do it.

John Hughes forever! Jason Diamond tells all about the films that got him through dark days
LUCASFILM
Back to the ’80s A celebrity is in the Oval Office. Relations with Russia are tense. The threat of nuclear warfare hangs over everything. Apparently, it’s the ’80s! Let’s go back to some of the movies from that simpler time. Unfortunately, no one is screening “Red Dawn,” which is a bummer because we might have been able to glean some tips. ‘Dirty Dancing’
ELYSSA GOODMAN
BOOKS If you grew up in the 1980s and ’90s, chances are you were obsessed with at least one movie written or directed by John Hughes. In films like “Sixteen Candles,” “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” Hughes fans saw teens who talked, dressed and related to the world like they themselves did. But few fans went to the lengths that Jason Diamond did to honor the writer-director-producer. Diamond, now 36 and the sports editor at Rolling Stone, spent a large part of his 20s attempting to write the ultimate Hughes biography — without any qualifications, a publisher or access to the people who actually knew the late filmmaker. Needless to say, it didn’t work out, but Diamond still got a book out of it. In “Searchi ng for Joh n Hughes: Or Everything I Thought I Needed to Know About Life I Learned From Watching ’80s Movies,” Diamond traces his Hughes obsession, from his troubled childhood in the suburbs of Chicago — the same suburbs where Hughes grew up and filmed many of his movies — and on to New York and his doomed quest to write the biography that never was. Peppered throughout the new memoir are references to and details about all the movies that meant so much to Diamond and helped him through some hard times. The first John Hughes movie Diamond saw was 1986’s “Pretty in Pink”; his teenage baby sitter showed it to him when he was a kid. “I was so taken by Molly Ringwald’s character,” Diamond says. “She was like my first idol. She’s so cool.” Diamond was hooked, and he found himself relating to

more and more characters that Hughes had created. He was like weirdo Allison in “The Breakfast Club,” while the jocks at his school reminded him of Jake Ryan from “Sixteen Candles.” Diamond began watching “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” every Thanksgiving — a tradition he still keeps. These were the movies that got Diamond through childhood abuse, his parents abandoning him when he was a teenager, and years of depression. Then there was the Hughes biography. “I had no idea what I wanted to do with that biography,” Diamond says. “I wanted to put the whole kitchen sink in there, plus
“I wanted to put the whole kitchen sink in there, plus the cabinet, and the fridge, all into one book.” JASON DIAMOND, author of “Searching for John Hughes,” on the biography he intended to write
the cabinet, and the fridge, all into one book.” Diamond still loves Hughes — who died in 2009 at the age of 59 — and the man’s movies, of course, but in a
healthier way. (He’s not secretly stalking any actors anymore.) Diamond now lives in Brooklyn, but he likes to go back to the Chicago suburbs every now and again and drive to Cameron’s glass house from “Bueller” or the church where Samantha’s sister got married in “Sixteen Candles.” “I find excuses to go back there,” Diamond says, adding that he took his wife last year to show her where he grew up … with a stop at the “Home Alone” house.

Mary Tyler Moore, TV sitcom icon and Oscar nominee, dies at 80
CHIP SOMODEVILLA (GETTY IMAGES)
1936-2017 Mary Tyler Moore, whose comic timing and all-American beauty made her a leading TV star before she took on dramatic roles in films, and whose 1970s situation comedy about the life of a professional single woman was considered a cultural and feminist milestone, died Wednesday at a hospital in Greenwich, Conn. She was 80. Mara Buxbaum, a representative of the actress, announced her death in a statement. Moore struggled with diabetes much of her life and underwent brain surgery in 2011 to remove a benign tumor from the lining tissue around her brain. An actress of dynamic range and accomplishment, Moore was primarily considered one of television’s finest comic actresses because of her roles on two of the most popular sitcoms of all time. She received two Emmy Awards for her role as Laura Petrie, the wife of a TV comedy writer, on “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” which aired on CBS from 1961 to 1966. Moore held her own against veteran entertainers such as Van Dyke, Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie. Moore said she always thought of herself as “a new kind of comedian — the funny straight woman.” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” which ran on CBS from
Mary Tyler Moore’s phenomenal comedic abilities made her a trailblazing talent for women in entertainment.
1970 to 1977, was one of the first sitcoms to have a single working woman as the lead character. Its appeal was often attributed to its feminist consciousness, with Moore playing a TV news producer named Mary Richards who navigates a career, friendships and single life. Moore was
nominated for a lead actress Emmy every year during the show’s seven-season run, winning three times. Moore was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Dec. 29, 1936. Her father was a utilities company clerk with frustrated show business aspirations. Her mother was an
alcoholic, which foreshadowed Moore’s struggles with alcoholism and her stay in the 1980s at the Betty Ford alcohol and drug treatment center in California. In 1961, she divorced her first husband, Ocean Spray salesman Richard Meeker. She married Grant Tinker, a TV executive who later became chairman and chief executive of NBC, in 1962. Her second marriage crumbled soon after her only child, Richard Meeker Jr., accidentally shot and killed himself in 1980. Tinker died in November 2016. In 1983, Moore married Robert Levine, a cardiologist whom she met when he was treating Moore’s mother. He survives. After “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” she focused on dramatic roles, most strikingly in 1980’s “Ordinary People,” based on Judith Guest’s novel about a suburban family struck by tragedy. She received an Oscar nomination for best actress for the role. She once told The New York Times that over a long career she was uncomfortable being pigeonholed by her successes in comedy, particularly as a symbol of women’s liberation. “I can’t live with that stuff,” she said. “I can’t carry it around any more than I can be conscious of the fact that those cameras could represent 50 million people. … The only time I think about it is when I try to get a good table in a restaurant, and the maitre d’ just never saw TV or ‘Ordinary People.’ Then I think to myself, ‘But, I’m a symbol!’ ” LAUREN WISEMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
verbatim
“Mary Tyler Moore changed the world for all women.” ELLEN D EGENERES, tweeting a tribute to Moore upon hearing the news of her passing. DeGeneres was among many notable names sharing their condolences; Ed Asner, who starred opposite Moore in her eponymous 1970s show, also tweeted, “Know that I love you and believe in your strength.”

Roxane Gay pulls book from Simon & Schuster over Milo Yiannopoulos Roxane Gay, acclaimed feminist and commentator, pulled her forthcoming book from Simon & Schuster in response to the publisher’s $250,000 book deal with conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. “I can’t in good conscience let them publish it while they also publish Milo,” Gay said in a statement to BuzzFeed. Her book “How to Be Heard” was due out in 2018. Her response came after Simon & Schuster sent a letter assuring authors on Monday that Yiannopoulos’ book would not contain hate speech. (EXPRESS)

“You just earned my respect for speaking out. Sick of Hollywood claiming to be the beacon of progress but protects abusive men.” @ALIPITARGOO tweets in support of “Fresh Off the Boat” actress Constance
Wu, who called Casey Affleck’s nomination for an Oscar for best actor for his role in “Manchester by the Sea” a “nod to Trump’s [win].” Affleck has been accused of sexual harassment in the past, and Wu said his nomination reinforces the “industry’s mistreatment of women.” In a message posted on Twitter, she wrote, “I know it’s just an award, but I guess I’m in this career, not for awards, but because the treatment of human life matters to me.”

TODAY: Shower chances remain with us in the morning as the front passes through. The threat begins to clear out around lunchtime on the way to a partly sunny afternoon. It’s cooler behind the front, with highs in the mid-50s, and also quite breezy, as winds whip up from the west at 15-20 mph with gusts of 30-35 mph.

The two wed in 2014 and have a daughter, 2-yearold Rose. “I’ve been expecting this for some time,” a source close to Dauriac said. “Romain and Scarlett has never made sense to me. They aren’t equals. There’s always been something wrong with this picture.” (EXPRESS)

The Wrap reported that the 18-year-old went to a screening Tuesday of “Beach Rats,” about a teen who has affairs with older men while in a relationship with a young woman. She was overheard telling a staffer the film was “interesting.” However, it was not clear whether she enjoyed the movie or not. (EXPRESS)

Millennial handles issue like a true millennial Kylie Jenner dodged a potential lawsuit from makeup artist Vlada Haggerty — whose lawyer said Kylie Cosmetics took Haggerty’s “dripping lip art” and passed it off as Kylie’s — by sharing Haggerty’s work with her 84 million Instagram followers. As The Fashion Law blog notes, Haggerty made out well, since Kylie charges up to $150,000 for social media promos. (EXPRESS)

‘I’m busy toppling the patriarchy’ Jane Fonda and record producer Richard Perry have split up after eight years together. Perry, 74, told E! News their romance has “temporarily been put on the back burner” because of Fonda’s rededication to activism. He says the pair remain “extremely good friends” and he’s not ruling out the chance of a reconciliation. Fonda, 79, joined marchers in Los Angeles last Saturday as part of a worldwide women’s rights protest. The Los Angeles Times reported that the couple recently put their Beverly Hills home up for sale with an asking price of $13 million. (AP)
