If golf always included bull roping, it’d be much more fun to watch Police in Rapid City, S.D., turned to the experts — a pair of rodeo cowboys performing nearby — when they needed back-up to capture a runaway bull. The 800-pounder got loose Sunday while being loaded into a trailer at the Central States Fairgrounds. After it fled through town to a golf course, police called the cowboys to lasso it, UPI reported. No one was hurt, but the bull left some big divots. (EXPRESS) CONSIDERATE

THE DISTRICT The District is testing a new weapon in the fight to end street harassment: public art. “The Walkway,” an art installation on the corner of 14th and U streets Northwest, lets those who walk through it experience the sounds and feelings of street harassment. The goal is for pedestrians to reflect on the different types of interactions strangers have in public spaces — from flattering to harmless to threatening. You can visit it from now through March 1. It’s part of D.C.’s Vision Zero plan, a program from the District Department of Transportation and Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office to make the city’s streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists. The 32-foot-long structure, designed by D.C. architecture firm Marshall Moya Design, looks like a covered walkway and a greenhouse had a baby, and that baby got really into the rave scene. Bright pink steps lead visitors to the entrance of the tunnel. The walls are made of translucent

THE DISTRICT The National Zoo said Wednesday that it has its missing bobcat back two days after the 7-yearold animal disappeared from its enclosure. Ollie was found on zoo property about 4 p.m., a zoo spokeswoman said. She said the cat showed up near the zoo’s bird house. The zoo released a photo of the bobcat sitting in an
outdoor crate. Ollie’s return came hours after the zoo suspended its search for the 25-pound bobcat. For two days, a team of zookeepers, police officers at the zoo and rescue experts from the D.C. Humane Rescue Alliance had searched for her, but to no avail. At a news conference earlier Wednesday, zoo officials said they were ending the active search for Ollie because she remained elusive.

local THE DISTRICT Workers at President Trump’s Washington hotel have voted to join one of America’s leading labor unions, setting the stage for potentially tense labor negotiations at one of his most highprofile businesses a few blocks from the White House. About 40 housekeepers and guest-room workers at the Trump International Hotel Washington voted last week to join Unite Here Local 25, a chapter that represents 6,500 hospitality workers across the Washington area, a union executive said.
The vote, the first major unionization effort of Trump company workers following his inauguration, again highlights the thorny entanglements facing the businessman-president, who has given corporate management responsibilities to his children but has refused to divest his business interests. The president will be able to appoint the top members of the National Labor Relations Board, which rules on labor disputes, including the months-long battle last year between Trump and workers at his Las Vegas hotel.

nation+world Dakota project getting easement, Republican says; tribe vows fight ENERGY The acting secretary of the Army has ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to allow construction of the Dakota Access pipeline under a Missouri River reservoir, a North Dakota senator said, the latest twist in the months-long legal battle over the $3.8 billion project. The Standing Rock Sioux, whose opposition to the project drew the support of thousands of protesters from around the country to North Dakota, immediately vowed to return to court to stop it.
Sen. John Hoeven, a Republican, announced late Tuesday that Robert Speer directed the Army Corps of Engineers to “proceed” with an easement necessary to complete the pipeline. President Donald Trump signed an executive order signaling his support for the project a week ago. On Wednesday, Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Malcolm Frost said the Army has begun its review. “These initial steps do not mean the easement has been approved,” Frost said. Hoeven spokesman Don Canton said Speer’s move means the easement “isn’t quite issued yet, but they plan to approve it” within days.

An internal opposition Support groups
Some federal workers are exploring options to express resistance to Trump’s policies
THINKSTOCK/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION
POLITICS The signs of popular dissent from President Trump’s opening volley of actions have been plain to see on the nation’s streets. But there’s another level of resistance that is less visible and potentially more troublesome to the administration: a growing wave of opposition from the federal workers charged with implementing any new president’s agenda. Less than two weeks into Trump’s administration, federal workers are in regular consultation with recently departed Obama-era political appointees about what they can do to push back against the new president’s initiatives. Some federal employees have set up social media accounts to anonymously leak word of changes that Trump appointees are trying to make. And a few government workers are pushing back more openly, incurring the wrath of a White House that, as press secretary Sean Spicer said this week about dissenters at the State Department, sends a clear message that they “should either get with the program, or they can go.” The resistance is so early, so widespread and so deeply felt that it has officials worrying about paralysis and overt refusals by workers to do their jobs. For years, conservatives have argued that the federal bureaucracy is stacked against them, making it harder for them to get things done even when they control the White House, Congress or both. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., a Trump adviser, said the pushback against
Dozens of federal workers attended a support group at a church in Columbia Heights last weekend for civil servants seeking a forum to discuss their opposition to the Trump administration. Meanwhile, 180 federal employees have signed up for a workshop next weekend, where experts will offer advice on workers’ rights and how they can express civil disobedience. (TWP)
the new administration reveals how firmly entrenched liberals are and how threatened they feel by the new regime. “This is essentially the opposition in waiting,” Gingrich said. “He may have to clean out the Justice Department because there are so many left-wingers
James Mattis leaves for Asia on first overseas trip as Pentagon chief
there. State is even worse.” Gingrich said Trump might push for civil service revisions to make it easier to fire federal workers. He predicted that the public would back the president over federal employees. T he State Depa r tment has emerged as the nexus of
opposition to Trump’s refugee policy, in part because it has an official dissent channel where Foreign Service employees can register opposition without fear of reprisals. The channel, formed in 1971, has been used to raise policy objections to the Vietnam War and other conflicts. About About 900 employees signed the dissent cable objecting to Trump’s refugee policy, CNN reported. But the level of worry is particularly high at places such as the Environmental Protection Agency. The union representing scientists and other EPA employees is exploring the formation of a fundraising arm to “defend federal scientists we anticipate will be disciplined … for defending scientific facts,” particularly about climate change, said Nicole Cantello, vice president of Local 704 of the American Federation of Government Employees. John O’Grady, a career EPA employee who heads a national council of EPA unions, said Trump’s firing of acting attorney general Sally Yates after she refused to implement Trump’s refugee ban “sends kind of a chilling effect through the agency. I’m afraid at this point that many federal employees are just fearful for their jobs, and they want to keep their heads down.” JULIET EILPERIN, LISA REIN AND MARC FISHER (THE WASHINGTON POST)
U.S. puts Iran ‘on notice’ after missile test NATIONAL SECURITY The U.S. put Iran “on notice” Wednesday after the Iranian military tested a ballistic missile and allied rebels in Yemen attacked a Saudi naval vessel in the Red Sea, an early manifestation of President Donald Trump’s promise of a tougher American approach to the Islamic republic. “Iran is now feeling emboldened,” Michael Flynn, the president’s national security adviser, told reporters. Delivering his first public remarks since Trump took office, Flynn, above, did not elaborate on what actions the U.S. might take in response to Iran’s missile test earlier this week. Asked to clarify what Flynn meant by putting Iran “on notice,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer said, “We felt as though their actions were both provocative and in violation.” The statement makes “sure that they understood that we weren’t going to sit by and not act on those actions,” he added. Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Hossein Dehghan on Wednesday acknowledged the test and said “we will not let any foreigner meddle with our defense issues.” He did not say when the test was carried out or specify the type of missile but insisted it wasn’t a violation of U.N. resolutions or the 2015 nuclear accord. The test ended with a “failed” re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, a U.S. defense official said. VIVIAN SALAMA (AP)

Nominees inch ahead
POLITICS Senate Republicans moved aggressively Wednesday to push through several of Trump’s Cabinet nominees, the latest round in an escalating showdown with Democrats trying to thwart President Trump’s administration. Republicans lashed out angrily at Democrats trying to stall the president’s nominees at the committee level, suspending the rules in order to approve two nominees, Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., for secretary of Health and Human Services and Steven T. Mnuchin to lead the Treasury. Republicans also advanced the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., for attorney general, and they finalized confirmation of former Exxon Mobil chief executive Rex Tillerson for secretary of state by a vote of 56 to 43. The day was not without its setbacks for Republicans, however. Two GOP senators, Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, and Susan Collins, Maine, signaled they do not plan to support the president’s nominee for education secretary, Betsy DeVos — leaving Democrats one vote shy of the number needed to block her nomination. Both senators cited their uncertainty about whether DeVos, an avid supporter of charter schools and school vouchers, is committed to helping public schools. The drama on Capitol Hill unfolded at a time when Democrats, under intense pressure from activists, have become emboldened

to try to block Trump’s agenda and appointees. Several Democrats sided with Republicans, however, to approve Tillerson, including senators from states that Trump won during the election: Sens. Heidi Heitkamp, N.D., and Joe Manchin III, W.Va. Maine Sen. Angus King, I, and Sen. Mark R. Warner, Va., also supported Tillerson. There is little Democrats can

Cabinet picks advance despite Democratic roadblocks; DeVos faces GOP defections
do to prevent final confirmation of any of Trump’s picks because the GOP needs only 51 votes to approve them in the full Senate and there are 52 Republican senators. With Tillerson, six high-ranking Trump nominees have been approved by the full Senate: Elaine Chao as transportation secretary; retired generals John Kelly and James Mattis at the Department of Homeland Security
and the Pentagon; Mike Pompeo to lead the CIA; and Nikki Haley to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. In the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republicans secured Sessions’ approval on a partyline vote, 11 to 9, with Democrats present. But a committee hearing to approve Trump’s pick for the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, was delayed after Democrats failed to show up. “Democrats are going to keep fighting back,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., “We are going to stand with people across the country. And we will keep pushing Republicans to put country above party and stand with us.” At Senate Finance on Wednesday, Chair Orrin G. Hatch, Utah, rammed through Mnuchin and Price after Democrats did not show up. Their nominations now head to the Senate floor for an up-or-down vote, although it is unclear when that will occur. Committee staffers scoured the panel’s rulebook and discovered it permits the majority party to temporarily suspend the rules and meet without Democrats. “Republicans on this committee showed up to do our jobs. Yesterday, rather than accept anything less than their desired outcome, our Democrat colleagues chose to cower in the hallway and hold a press conference,” Hatch said.

Trump honors Navy SEAL lost in Yemen raid MILITARY Assuming the somber duties of commander in chief, President Donald Trump made an unannounced trip Wednesday to honor the returning remains of a U.S. Navy SEAL killed in a weekend raid in Yemen. Chief Special Warfare Operator William “Ryan” Owens, a 36-year-old from Peoria, Ill., was the first known U.S. combat casualty since Trump took office. Three other U.S. service members were wounded in the raid. Trump’s trip to Delaware’s Dover Air Base was not on the president’s daily schedule. A small group of journalists traveled with Trump but the visit was not reported until his arrival. He was joined by his daughter Ivanka. Owens’ family is said to have asked that his return be kept private. Owens was a recipient of two bronze stars, a Joint Service Commendation and an Afghanistan Campaign Medal, among others. Sunday’s pre-dawn raid — which a defense official said was planned by the Obama administration but authorized by Trump — could signal a new escalation against extremist groups in Yemen. More than half a dozen militant suspects were among the 30 killed. The operation also took the life of the 8-year-old daughter of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical cleric and U.S. citizen who was targeted and killed by a drone strike in 2011. JULIE PACE (AP)

‘Go nuclear,’ Trump urges POLITICS President Trump urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday to change the rules of the Senate if necessary to swiftly push through Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. Trump’s words immediately escalated what is shaping up as a feverish partisan battle over the vacancy on the Supreme Court. Trump’s endorsement of a scenario known on Capitol Hill as the “nuclear option” came the morning after he announced Gorsuch’s nomination. “I would say, if you can, Mitch, go nuclear because that would be an absolute shame if a man

of this quality was caught up in the web,” Trump said. McCon nel l has not sa id whether he might invoke the option if minority Democrats block Gorsuch’s confirmation, as several already are threatening.
The “nuclear option” would mean unilaterally lowering the threshold needed to approve Gorsuch from 60 to 50 votes, so that Republicans could use their 52-vote majority to confirm him without any Democrat’s consent. Republican leaders have been agonizing over whether to change long-standing Senate rules to break Democratic resistance, should it reach that point. McConnell last year refused to allow even a hearing for Merrick Garland, former President Barack Obama’s pick to replace Justice Antonin Scalia. Instead, the seat has remained empty for 10 months and the court has operated with eight justices. Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley voiced the feelings of some fellow Democrats when he said, “this is a stolen seat.” (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

THREE POINTERS
Signing day winners
RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
Why Atlanta will win
On Wednesday, top college football prospects engaged in the annual ritual of selecting their schools. Here are three of the biggest winners from National Signing Day.
PICKING THE FALCONS TO WIN SUPER BOWL LI IS A SCARY PROPOSITION. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is arguably the
greatest passer ever. A fifth Super Bowl ring would give him one more than Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana. New England coach Bill Belichick is a genius who fools everybody. But Brady and Belichick have lost two championships together. As the Giants proved twice, the Patriots are beatable. Here are five reasons why Atlanta, powered by the

coaching talents of Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, will win. Let’s call it a 32-30 victory.

Jones could be MVP
Special perspective
Freeman can catch
Brady will get hit
Losing toss is a win
Think Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler can stop Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones? Butler may have caught “The Pick” to clinch Super Bowl XLIX, but Jones is better than anyone the corner has covered. Despite being hampered by a toe injury, Jones had 180 yards receiving and two touchdowns in the NFC championship. Surely, the Patriots’ game plan is to neutralize him. That’s fine because Atlanta didn’t score the NFL’s most points behind just one player. If they need to win the game in the final minute, the Falcons will look for Jones to beat Butler at the goal line.
Maybe it isn’t possible to outsmart Bill Belichick, but Falcons coach Dan Quinn has the benefit of some special perspective. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff and assistant GM Scott Pioli worked with Belichick in New England. Pioli was especially involved during the first three Super Bowl titles. The personnel men might know how Belichick will counter Atlanta’s strengths. Quinn could surprise Belichick by relying on the running game while the Patriots’ defenders flock to receivers. If former Giants coach Tom Coughlin can outsmart Belichick twice, Quinn can do it once.
It’s time for Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to show his coaching chops by countering Belichick’s frequent blitzes. Falcons tailback Devonta Freeman is a suspect blocker, which means the Patriots will target him with the rush. But Freeman can fake being a blocker and go out for screen passes to take advantage of New England’s aggressive scheme. Freeman rushed for 1,079 yards this season with 11 touchdowns. His 54 catches were third-most on the team. If Freeman exposes the Patriots’ pass rush, he could top 100 combined yards rushing and receiving.
The Falcons must hit Tom Brady early and often. If they play defense as usual, Belichick will have them figured out before kickoff, and Brady will abuse the young secondary. New England will bring extra help to stop Atlanta linebacker Vic Beasley from reaching Brady. That means the Falcons should focus pressure on the interior line or have a second rusher ready to follow Beasley into the backfield. Knocking down the quarterback is a major key for Atlanta, which kept Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers off balance in the NFC championship. The Falcons need to find creative ways to bother Brady.
The AFC is the designated away conference this year, so New England will call the coin flip. The Patriots typically take heads, which has won in five of the last eight Super Bowls. However, New England lost every toss in its four Super Bowl victories, so the Patriots would feel fine if the coin lands on tails. NFC teams have won 17 of the last 19 flips, but quarterback Matt Ryan and Atlanta might not mind losing the toss, either. The Patriots like to defer, and the Falcons’ prolific offense could get the ball first, ensuring an opportunity to take an early lead and dictate the pace of play.

NBA Through the early weeks of the season, the Wizards stumbled and lost games because they could not defend. They didn’t help each other enough on the floor, and their individual effort was often lacking. Players failed to close out hard or fast enough, allowing 3-point shooters to reach their spots. Even as the Wizards began their unexpected rise in the Eastern Conference, their defensive effort still had not matured. But in 16 games in January, it became abundantly clear:
The Wizards (28-20) are soaring and winning games because they’re now defending. On Tuesday night, the Wizards defeated the Knicks 117101 and earned their seasonhigh fifth straight win along with their 15th straight at home. The Wizards held the Knicks to 36.6 percent shooting from the field and 5-for-24 from 3, punctuating Washington’s finest month on the defensive end. In January, the Wizards went 12-4 and shackled opponents to 43.4 percent shooting — ranking No. 1 in the NBA in defensive

field-goal percentage for the month. In December, the team allowed opponents to hit 3s with 36.6 percent accuracy. In January, Washington allowed 33.9 percent, fifth overall for the month. Washington’s defense relies on individuals handling their roles, something power forward Markieff Morris has taken to heart. When asked for the reason behind his improved defensive rebounding in January (6.7 per game), Morris gave a cheeky response: He woke up one day and decided to rebound.

FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST) If you’re a Patriots fan Capitol Lounge (229 Pennsylvania Ave. SE) is the best option for thrifty and thirsty Patriots fans: For 60 minutes prior to kickoff, there’s an open bar on some draft beers for fans decked out in Patriots swag.

A fine dining alliance Honeysuckle combines Southern and Nordic cuisines — often on the same plate The best tacos come sweaty at Mezcalero
BECKY KRYSTAL (THE WASHINGTON POST)
RESTAURANTS Nordic cuisine and that of the American South haven’t had much opportunity to crosspollinate — the regions are separated by at least one ocean, after all. Chef Hamilton Johnson wants to bring the two together in a sort of edible diplomacy. This week, Johnson debuted this unconventional combination of cuisines at Honeysuckle, his first solo restaurant and a concept he tested as a pop-up at Prequel in Penn Quarter. Honeysuckle takes over the subterranean space near Dupont Circle that was occupied for more than 20 years by Jeff Buben’s Vidalia, where Johnson spent eight years as chef de cuisine. Johnson grew up in South Carolina and spent years cooking Southern food professionally at Vidalia and elsewhere. The Nordic part? That’s inspired by his visits to Finland and Iceland as a participant in cooking competitions. Some ingredients hail from that region. Pork tenderloin, for example, is coated in Icelandic seaweed that Johnson toasts and grinds to a powder. The seaweed is milder than nori but still has that “salty ocean thing going on,” he said. In the panna cotta dessert, butterscotch teams up with skyr (an Icelandic cultured dairy product similar to yogurt), along with oats, rum raisins and toffee meringue. Still, the overriding accent of the menu (appetizers $14 to $21, mains $29 to $42) is Southern.
At Honeysuckle, rib-eye from Roseda Farm in Maryland is served with buttered crab, turnips and black truffle.
So don’t be surprised when you see chicken cracklings show up on a number of plates, including the Champagne-poached oysters and slow-roasted hake (similar to cod). Sides lean Southern too, with such dishes as creamed collards and a riff on mashed potatoes made with rutabaga. Johnson is already pegging his buttered veal sweetbreads, served with bearnaise custard, sweet onions, black truffle and a veal reduction, as a likely contender for his signature dish, along with the rib-eye that’s adorned with Maryland crab cooked in cream and butter and also topped with black truffle. In addition to the full menu
Dining in style Like the food, Honeysuckle’s design by Ron Saleh is an eclectic mashup, where rock ‘n’ roll (portraits of David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and others) meets succulents and votives, with antiques thrown in for good measure. Oh, and those colorful murals you’ll spot near the entrance and in the dining room? They’re inspired by chef Hamilton Johnson’s many tattoos. B.K.
of entrees, Honeysuckle will offer a limited bar menu ($10 to $16). Options include a burger, sweet-and-sour wings (doublefried similar to Korean ones),
veal tongue bruschetta and a Carolina shrimp salad served with Ritz crackers. The cocktail list pays homage to the world of music, with selections including the White Wedding (vodka, lime juice, Cointreau, white cranberry juice) and Under Pressure (moonshine, cherry, pomegranate, brut rosé). Expect a modest selection of regional and national beers on draft and in bottles and cans, along with about 70 wines by the bottle and around two dozen by the glass.

STREET FOOD The most original tacos in D.C. are billed as “tacos de canasta” — or “basket tacos” — on the menu at Mezcalero Cocina Mexicana (3714 14th St. NW). It’s probably a better name for the snack than the one locals use in Mexico: “tacos sudados,” which loosely translates as “sweaty tacos.” Relax — “sweat,” in this case, is a synonym for “steam.” These street tacos, swathed in plastic wrap and towels, steam while layered in a basket. They’re popular among Mexican laborers on lunch break, says Alfredo Solis, owner and chef behind Mezcalero, which opened Jan. 13. Solis first tried to place each pre-made taco in a commercial steamer before serving it, but “when people tried to eat it, it was breaking apart,” he says. Diners resorted to forks to feast on their tacos, which is just wrong, like politicians who cut New York pizza with utensils. Solis found a better way: He takes house-made tortillas and dips them in guajillo sauce, then fries them briefly on a flat-top. From there they go straight into the steamer. Once an order comes in, the kitchen staff takes three tortillas out of the steamer and stuffs them with different fillings: refried black beans in one, chorizo and potatoes in the next and chicharron (fried pork) in the third. They’re then folded and served with tomatilloavocado salsa. The tortillas are soggy in the center and crispy around the edges, creating a silky, complex and fiercely spicy bite.

The family that sculpts together … Italy’s della Robbia clan created vivid clay works that haven’t aged a day EXHIBITS For around 570 years, a nearly life-size sculpture of the Virgin Mary and her cousin Elizabeth graced a dark alcove in a medieval church in the Tuscan countryside. It was made in 1445 by master Renaissance sculptor Luca della Robbia and had scarcely been moved since — that is, until Marietta Cambareri, a curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston charmed and persuaded about a half-dozen church and government officials into lending the sculpture to America’s first large-scale show of works by the della Robbia family. “Della Robbia: Sculpting With Color in Renaissance Florence” debuted in Boston last year and
opens at the National Gallery of Art on Sunday. “It was extremely generous of the Church of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas and the town of Pistoia to lend us one of their most beloved masterpieces,” says National Gallery of Art curator Alison Luchs, who helped coordinate the exhibit. “Marietta had to get permission from so many church authorities, she joked that she might end up talking with the pope himself.” The exhibit includes 40 or so works by three generations of della Robbias — an Italian family that developed groundbreaking techniques for creating sturdy clay sculptures with vibrant glazes. They kept the details of their technique closely guarded, but conservators have found that the clay was made from highcalcium content earth and fired with a glaze that included high
levels of lead and tin, Luchs says. “The lead gave the sculptures their opacity and the tin gave them their shine, which was very important, especially for figures in dark churches, lit only by candlelight,” Luchs says. That gave the della Robbia sculptures an advantage over marble, a material that was considered more prestigious because it was more expensive and difficult to shape. Additionally, the della Robbia works have proven to be even more durable than marble, keeping their shape and colors, even when placed outdoors and exposed to the elements. “The whites are as white and the colors are as vivid as the day they came out of the kiln,” Luchs says. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) National Gallery of Art, Fourth Street and Constitution Avenue NW; Sun. through June 4, free.
Hung up “The Resurrection,” above, a glazed clay lunette depicting the resurrection of Christ, was made by Giovanni della Robbia (Luca’s grandnephew) around 1520–24. It once sat above a garden gate in the countryside near Florence, Italy, but now it’s hanging over a doorway at the National Gallery of Art as part of the first large-scale exhibit of della Robbia works in America. 1
Keep it together
The massive clay sculpture is composed of 46 separate sections, which made it easier to fire and transport back in the della Robbias’ day. Together, the lunette is more than 11 feet across and weighs more than 1,000 pounds. 2
Like a prayer
This praying figure represents a member of the winemaking Antinori family, probably someone who was involved in the commissioning of the piece, curator Alison Luchs says. “I think [the sculpture] was commissioned by Alessandro, to invite the blessings of Christ on his father, Niccolo, who perhaps had just died,” Luchs says. 3
True blue
The della Robbia family was renowned for rendering painterly details with glaze — a difficult task because glaze doesn’t show its true colors until after it’s fired, when it’s too late to make any changes or corrections. Up close, you can see that these tiny brown figures represent the three Marys, on their way to Jesus’ tomb, which, they will discover, is miraculously empty. 4
Dress you up
Jesus’ brown robe was originally painted red, Luchs says. “Red was one color the della Robbia family was unable to produce in glaze,” she says. Over time, the red paint rubbed off, exposing the brown glaze underneath. 5
Borderline
The garland that frames the entire piece includes marvelously detailed leaves, fruits and even animals. Some, like this squirrel, may not have any particular meaning. The crab beneath him probably represents resurrection, Luchs says.

The “Alternate Takes: Jazz and Film” series at the National Gallery of Art kicks off this weekend. You can see documentaries, narrative films and TV shows, all focused on the one musical tradition that is all-American. The lineup starts Friday with a series of shorts starring Duke Ellington, as well as the 1959 classic “Anatomy of a Murder,” for which Ellington composed the score (that’s him above, at right, with director Otto Preminger, left, and pianist Billy Strayhorn). Saturday brings the D.C. premiere of “I Called Him Morgan,” a doc about legendary trumpeter Lee Morgan. National Gallery of Art, Sixth Street and Constitution Avenue NW; Fri. through March 4, various times, free.
National Theatre’s ‘Amadeus’ Live
‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington’
If you’re into tormented geniuses and skipping out of work early — and, really, who isn’t? — you can see the National Theatre’s production of “Amadeus,” the play that was adapted into the 1984 film. In the British theater’s performance, to be broadcast live in cinemas on Thursday, Lucian Msamati stars as Salieri, a composer who basically goes insane from jealousy when this kid Mozart moves into Vienna. The National Theatre Live series always provides a chance to see great theater without having to dress up. Or fly to London.
Feeling down about the state of democracy? There’s a cure for that. Well, OK, there’s not, but there is a short-term treatment: Frank Capra. In the director’s 1939 film “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” James Stewart heads to the Senate armed with nothing but a belief in the goodness of the American people and the willingness of the government to serve them honestly and honorably. Of course, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Still, even though it’s fiction, there’s just enough real hope in there to keep ours alive.

Toulouse-Lautrec’s posters captured the bohemian nightlife
EXHIBITS If you ever find yourself stopped on a street corner admiring the poster for a DIY house show pasted to a telephone pole, thank Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the 19thcentury Parisian artist who turned poster-making into a legitimate art form. Through April, you can see the original posters that made notorious Parisian nightclubs like the Moulin Rouge famous, in The Phillips Collection’s latest exhibition, “Toulouse-Lautrec Illustrates the Belle Epoque.” Born to an aristocratic family in the small town of Albi in southern France, ToulouseLautrec was beset by health problems, including a genetic condition that led to dwarfism. “He grew up very privileged, but he was the son of first cousins,” curator Renee Maurer says. “To overcome his health issues, he took up drawing.” When Toulouse-Lautrec moved to Paris in 1882 to
study art, he met Vincent van Gogh, who became a good friend and introduced him to fellow bohemian artists and the burgeoning nightlife of the Montmartre district, where they would gather in local nightclubs — like the Moulin Rouge and the Chat Noir — to drink and watch legendarily risque dancers and singers. “Montmartre embraced the bohemian spirit,” Maurer says of the time period that later became known as the Belle Epoque (literally, “beautiful era”). “It was the heart of a burgeoning entertainment industry and had an atmosphere of irreverence.” Toulouse-Lautrec created many of the lithograph posters that advertised the various venues and performers, which were pasted all around town as advertisements. “Toulouse-Lautrec saw that lithography was an impact medium that appealed to the masses,” Maurer says. “And he created a myth by associating himself with local celebrities.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, PRIVATE COLLECTION
Scenes from a Parisian scenester
‘Ambassadeurs, Aristide Bruant,’ 1892 Les Ambassadeurs, one of the venues frequented by bohemian artists, was much more refined than its bawdy counterparts in Montmartre. And even though the poster Toulouse-Lautrec created for the club wasn’t risque like his other works, the manager still didn’t like it — he didn’t care for the style. Aristide Bruant, the featured singer who had commissioned the work, said he would not perform if it were rejected. Ultimately, the manager caved, the poster was pasted all over the city and Bruant’s concert was a huge success.

‘May Belfort,’ 1895 While many Montmartre cabaret performers were outwardly suggestive, Irish singer May Belfort took a subtler, but equally raunchy, path. She often dressed like a little girl for the stage, singing in a baby voice while holding a black cat in her arms — to match her black hair (get it?). Toulouse-Lautrec liked Belfort so much that he made several prints of her after this one (which Belfort commissioned) at his own expense.
‘The Simpson Chain,’ 1896
‘Moulin Rouge, La Goulue,’ 1891
Toulouse-Lautrec’s posters advertised more than just cabarets. He created this poster to promote a new kind of bicycle chain, the Simpson Chain. His poster shows a competitive cyclist using the chain to win his race. In real life, the chain turned out to be a complete flop. This was the golden age of bicycles, when biking became a phenomenon that touched artists and writers as well as the general population.
This 6-foot-tall poster was the result of Toulouse-Lautrec’s first experiments with lithography. He created it for the opening of the Moulin Rouge, and it launched the artist into instant stardom. The dancer in the print is La Goulue (“The Glutton”), one of the most notorious dancers in Montmartre. “La Goulue was known for wearing decolletage down to her navel, kicking men’s hats off their heads, going on occasion without undergarments, and taking beverages off tables and drinking them while performing,” curator Renee Maurer says. “Her excessive lifestyle eventually got her kicked out of the Moulin Rouge.”

required great balance. “My early career was in sketch comedy, and there’s an attraction to the lampooning of the character,” he says. “But you realize with a play like this, that’s not enough. That’s not the goal at all, in fact.” His job as an actor was to dig into the imagined private life of Prince Charles, an investigation that started with understanding Charles’ public persona. “We’ve all studied the characters we’re playing via YouTube videos and
royals. “There’s lots of footage of [Charles] — let’s put it in quotation marks — ‘hanging out’ and playing games and him as a father with his young kids playing on the lawn, but you realize how it’s all scripted and massaged. It’s hard to get at what might be behind that, and it’s folly to believe that these people might not have the same range of emotions that all the rest of us have.” The play’s audience sees that tug between public and private in the very first scene, which begins with a royal procession. “And then immediately afterwards, you see Charles recoil at how he’s had to present himself,” Joy says. “You say, ‘Here’s this Faberge egg, here’s what we’re about.’ And then right after that you crack the egg open and not only is it a front, but inside there is a very messy yolk.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

‘Miss September’
The album’s laid-back opener contains one of Hoffman’s favorite lyrics ever: “Even in your dreams you know your limits were real.” “It’s something a friend of mine said to me, a chef that I used to work with,” Hoffman says. “It’s dark, man.”
2
‘Past My Prime’
A week before recording, Hoffman dusted off this old song he’d never finished. The upbeat folk rock track “was one of the most fun tunes to record because there was this energy we had, it being new and totally unlearned to everybody — even me, because I was rearranging it,” he says.
3
‘Living Over’
Clocking in at just over seven minutes, the anthemic “Living Over” best captures the band’s improv-heavy live shows. “That middle section is totally studio improvisation, and I think it’s one of the best we’ve ever done,” Hoffman says. “I listened to it a lot after we recorded it.”
Who the heck is...
Sampha?
If you can pull focus from a Knowles sister, you’re doing something right. Sampha did it, blissfully dancing and singing alongside Solange in her recent video for “Don’t Touch My Hair.” His distinct, melodic voice can also be heard on “Valentine,” his 2011 duet with U.K. singer-songwriter Jessie Ware. Sampha, 28, has worked behind the scenes for some of music’s biggest names, including Drake and Kanye West, and he was so heavily involved with the London-based electronic artist SBTRKT’s 2011 album that some fans thought they were the same person. His debut album, “Process,” which drops Friday, and his world tour, which hits the 9:30 Club five days later, will make clear just who Sampha really is. KAY WICKER (FOR EXPRESS)
In demand The soulful singer-songwriter from South London boasts such an impressive and varied history of collaborations that Pitchfork dubbed him “a musicians’ musician.” Sampha (last name: Sisay) played the family piano as a child and briefly attended music production courses in his teens. He dropped out when he landed the collaboration with SBTRKT; his hypnotic vocals grace nearly half of the self-titled 2011 album. Next, he lent his talents to Drake for the 2013 song “Too Much,” and last year he was featured on the closing track of Kanye West’s “The Life of Pablo” and on Frank Ocean’s visual album “Endless.” He managed all of this while taking time to hone his own unique sound, which
can be heard developing on the abstract, mellow slow jams he’s released across two EPs.
edge of my bed,” he sings on the energized song.
Feels for reals Is this the real life? Sampha’s sound, a dynamic mix of electronic, R&B and pop music, is a feast of vivid poetry and polished production. One of his more conceptual songs, the new track “Blood on Me,” was inspired by a projected image of waves crashing that evoked an image in his mind of him running from something dangerous, he told genius.com. That horror plays out in the song as Sampha tries to distinguish between what’s real and what’s not. “I wake up and the sky is blood red/ I’m still heavy breathin’/ Felt so much more than dreamin’/ I get up, they’re at the
Sampha’s a pretty sensitive guy. In the gentle ballad “(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano,” he tenderly croons about “the piano in my mother’s home.” Sampha, who lost his mother in 2015 to cancer, says it isn’t easy to expose true feelings. As he told Pitchfork in 2013, “You have to be quite brave to write about something that you honestly feel and think.” With “Piano” and other poignant new songs like “Timmy’s Prayer,” a co-write with Kanye West about love and regret, it sounds like Sampha hasn’t lost his nerve. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Wed., 7 p.m., sold out.

sensible pumps of the longestreigning monarch in British history. How that might play out is the subject of “King Charles III,” Mike Bartlett’s play opening at the Shakespeare Theatre Company on Tuesday. In the speculative drama, Charles must learn how to preside in a modern kingdom where many of the people have known only one queen — and where his son is more popular than he is. The play, largely written in blank verse, echoes many of Shakespeare’s royal plays, with themes of power and family tensions, plus a ghostly cameo. Robert Joy plays the current Prince of Wales, a role that
reading books and articles, and you do pick up mannerisms and sounds and impressions of the physicality of the people,” Joy says. “The responsibility of representing that person honestly and faithfully and respectfully is paramount.” And that’s easy, at least when he’s playing the face the new king shows to the public. Then comes the part YouTube can’t help with, particularly since both the plot and the characters of “King Charles III” are entirely imagined. While Joy is playing a real person, it’s a person whose true reality is almost always hidden. “You realize the limitations of the research because everything that we can see, everything that we can research as actors, are moments where these people are in front of the cameras, there are bright lights shining on them, there’s microphones in their faces.” He learned you can’t even trust the candid scenes of the

After years spent collaborating with her twin sister, Katie (in Bad Banana and P.S. Eliot), and playing in the band Swearin’, Allison Crutchfield is going it alone.

‘Superior Donuts’ is more empty calories CBS’ latest sitcom feels stale, like the rest of the network’s comedy slate

MICHAEL YARISH (CBS)
TV REVIEW CBS deserves some of the flak it gets for loading up its prime-time schedule with sitcoms exclusively about white characters, with minority actors usually playing the good friend or a peripheral stereotype. Yet the network, if it wanted to, could make a solid case for its habits, starting with the three sitcoms it premiered last fall, all of which are centered on white men (“Kevin Can Wait,” “Man With a Plan” and “The Great Outdoors”) and are on track, ratings-wise, to clear the biggest hurdle for any sitcom: a second-season renewal. This fact can’t help but make “Superior Donuts,” premiering at 8:30 p.m. today, seem like a flimsy attempt to diversify. After a lengthy period in development, “Superior Donuts” has come out of the fryer flatter than a tortilla chip, no better or worse than any other CBS sitcom, which isn’t saying much. D.C.-bred comedian Jermaine Fowler plays Franco Hicks, a young Chicago man who bursts into an old doughnut shop owned by Arthur Przybyszewski (Judd Hirsch) and talks himself into a

job by convincing Arthur that he can make the shop appeal to newer, younger residents of the gentrifying neighborhood. Thus the first episode is a setup for a series built on crossgenerational quips and punchlines — think “Chico and the Man,” with a lot more carbs and jokes about Starbucks. Example: “My parents did not smuggle me out of communist Poland in the hold of a cargo ship so that 65 years later I could sell you a damn Cronut,” Arthur declares. The doughnut shop has its usual assembly of regulars (Katey Sagal as Chicago police officer Randy De Luca and Darien SillsEvans as her rookie partner,
James; Maz Jobrani as Fawz, the Iraqi-immigrant owner of a neighboring dry cleaner; and Anna Baryshnikov as a millennial graduate student). The storylines in the first three episodes demonstrate that there’s not much to see here or talk about. Even the jokes about race are sanitized for your protection, though small hints of Fowler’s comic touch seem to have survived the factory process without going stale. To wit: “I can save you!” Franco tells Arthur (and maybe all of CBS). “Save me? Who are you, black Jesus?” Arthur replies. “First of all,” Franco says, “that’s redundant.” HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“Oh, we’re doing the movie. … If HBO paid for two ‘Sex and the City’ ones, they’d better pay for one of ours.” LENA DUNHAM, speculating in The Hollywood Reporter about a “Girls” film, ahead of the show’s final season. “I’d just want to leave enough space so that we are finding them in a super-different place than we left them,” she added.

“This commercial would’ve been financed, [written], and directed way before the immigration ban.” ARCTICNINJA points out that the production timeline of Budweiser’s
new Super Bowl commercial was probably not directly related to Donald Trump’s immigration order. The ad, which tells the company’s own immigrant story, has already drawn cheers and jeers. “Way to go @Budweiser you’ve managed to piss off middle America. You know, the people who used to drink your beer,” @pierce_khh tweeted.

44 | 29 TODAY: Winds pick up from the west-northwest, gusting at times to near 25 mph. That adds a chill to an already cooler day, as highs top out in the mid-40s under partly sunny skies. A cooler day is followed by a colder night, but conditions are still far from frigid. Lows could dip into the 20s with partly cloudy skies.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may
finally have to cough up for something you didn’t pay for long ago. You can do a better job of remembering your debts. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Complicated circumstances may force you to change your plans for the day, but your motives can certainly remain constant. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others are looking for you to mend your ways, but you don’t see where you’ve gone wrong. This may be just a difference of opinion.
