What’s the etiquette of Googling a name? TELEVISION During Sunday night’s riveting episode of “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” the central conflict among the ladies of the DMV was an unforgivable faux pas that most millennials do in their sleep: Googling. More specifically, Googling the names of women you don’t already know. This, according to “real housewife” and self-appointed etiquette expert Karen Huger, is just simply not done in Potomac. Oh really? Ashley Darby, the young cub in the close-knit circle of women, made the mistake of not only Googling her fellow cast mates, but then admitting it. “I Google everybody,” said Darby, who spilled the details of her covert Internet searching to co-star Katie Rost, who then, of course, told the rest of the gals. “I feel like you have to do a background check in today’s society.”

‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ asks if looking people up is a faux pas
Around the Beltway, more of us probably Google someone before meeting them than anywhere else.
Makes sense, but not to Huger, who declared during a subsequent champagne summit at Charrisse Jackson-Jordan’s home: “Googling everyone and then talking about it is a huge faux pas.” The problem here seems to hinge more on the nastier results of said Google search (Darby discovered that cast mate Robyn Dixon filed for bankruptcy in 2013) than the itching, typing
fingers themselves. But throughout the episode, the ladies spat out the verb “Google” as if it were verboten on this side of the Mason-Dixon Line. It’s not. One Washington insider said, “I Google the crap out of everybody. Why wouldn’t you?” If anything, in D.C., which another source described as a “nosier town,” Googling beforehand the names of people you might meet is even more common than in other major cities. “Google has become a résumé of sorts, and if you’re attending local society events, chances are you’ll turn up on the Web,” said publicist Dannia Hakki, principal of MoKi Media. The real issue with Darby’s snooping was that she showed her cards too early. In this town, the goal is to get the juicy info and then hold onto it for future use, not to be the town crier. “The tricky part is when you start gossiping about what came up in your digging,” Hakki said. “It’s fine to Google, just don’t be the first one to dish.” HELENA ANDREWS-DYER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

In Va., a generational divide among GOP Younger Republicans are splitting with the party on gay rights
ENVIRONMENT
States at odds over coal ash in the Potomac STEVE HELBER (AP)
VIRGINIA Del. Mark Sickles’ hands shook and tears filled his eyes as he pleaded for fairness from colleagues, who shifted nervously in their seats. “Your kids will be looking back on what you do today and how you vote on this bill,” the gay Democrat from Fairfax told them as he stood on the floor of the House of Delegates. After an intense debate, the Republican-controlled House passed a bill on Tuesday that would prevent the government from punishing discrimination against married same-sex couples, transgender individuals and people who have sex without being married. But the vote hinted at a generation gap within the Republican Party on gay rights issues. In Virginia, all except one of the nine Republican lawmakers who voted “no” or sat out a vote on the so-called “Government Nondiscrimination Act” are younger than 53, the median age in the House. “There’s a generational divide in terms of acceptance of the LGBT community being part of the norm. I understand that’s maybe changing quickly for people but that’s the society we live in,” said Del. Scott Taylor,

R-Virginia Beach, 36. Among the Republican lawmakers who voted on the side of gay rights, most represent the Virginia Beach area, which relies heavily on tourism dollars. Polling data supports the view that younger Republicans have generally been more supportive of gay marriage than their elders. After the Supreme Court affirmed gay marriage in all 50 states last summer, 55 percent of Republicans and Republicanleaning independents under age 40 approved of the ruling, a national Washington Post-ABC News survey found. But as the age of those surveyed increased, support for the ruling decreased: 31 percent of those ages 40 to 64 and 25 percent of those ages 65 and older did not approve of legalizing gay marriage.
“On issues such as gay rights, the demographic trends are pointing in a direction decidedly against the conservative positions, yet the older-generation leadership of the party is still wedded to the former consensus,” said Mark J. Rozell, dean of the School of Policy at George Mason University. “The Republicans frankly haven’t figured it out yet.” At least one Republican delegate who voted “no” said he was prepared to vote for the bill but said Sickles’ floor speech changed his mind. “When you look at some of the folks who voted ‘no,’ we view this as what the ’60s and ’70s went through with civil rights, it’s almost the same thing,” said Ronald A. Villanueva, R-Virginia Beach, who is 45. JENNA PORTNOY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Missiles on disputed land ASIA Suspected surface-to-air missile batteries have been deployed by China on a disputed island in the South China Sea, officials said Wednesday, heightening concern in the U.S. and Asia about Beijing’s expanding ambitions in the region.

The reported Chinese move followed a U.S. naval operation in which a missile destroyer sailed close to another island in the Paracels last month. The South China Sea, bordered by China and a number of Southeast Asian nations, has been the center of rising tensions since Beijing began expanding its foothold in the region last year. Secretary of State John Kerry said the increasing militarization contradicted an assurance from Chinese President Xi Jinping when he visited the White House last September. (AP/THE WASHINGTON POST)

From left, the bed Justice Antonin Scalia died in, a sign at the entrance of Cibolo Creek Ranch in West Texas, where Scalia was visiting, and a common area at the ranch where Scalia spent time the night before his death.
After Scalia’s death, many questions linger Why was the Supreme Court justice staying for free at a Texas resort?
SUPREME COURT Justice Antonin Scalia’s sudden death over the weekend at a Texas ranch has raised myriad questions, including how he died and who paid for his trip. The gauziness quickly developed into a full-fledged conspiracy theory over the cause of Scalia’s death, jumping from the expected vector of universal conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to conservative talk radio to the Republican front-runner for the party’s presidential nomination. Asked about Scalia on Monday, Donald Trump replied that “they say they found a pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow.” The pillow appears to stem from a quote from the resort’s owner reported by the San Antonio Express-News. “We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head,” resort owner John Poindexter told the paper. “His bed clothes were unwrinkled.” The sheriff of Presidio County, Danny Dominguez, clarified in
an interview with the Daily Mail. “[Scalia] was just lying on the bed with a pillow above his head,” Dominguez said. “Everything seemed normal and he was just there lying down. There was no sign of a struggle, no wrinkles in the cover or on the pillow either.” Doctors also suggested that finding a heavyset 79-year-old man dead in bed in the early morning hours was hardly abnormal, even if there were a pillow over his head. Dr. Euhan John Lee of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center agreed that the timing of Scalia’s death was “fairly common.” He also noted that finding someone asleep with a pillow over

his head would also not be particularly abnormal. “People sleep in all sort of positions,” Lee said. Other questions that emerged after Scalia’s death include who paid for the trip to the 30,000acre getaway. Poindexter, a decorated Vietnam veteran who owns Houston-based J.B. Poindexter & Co., a manufacturing firm, said Scalia was not charged for his stay, something he described as a 22-year policy at his ranch. “He was an invited guest, along with a friend, just like 35 others,” Poindexter wrote in an email Tuesday. However, Poindexter said he did not pay for Scalia’s charter flight to Texas. He also would not identify Scalia’s friend. Poindexter’s company has seven subsidiaries. One of his companies was involved in a case the Supreme Court declined to hear last year, involving an age discrimination suit filed against the company, court records show. The details, of course, lead to more questions: What was the nature of Poindexter’s relationship with Scalia? Who paid for Scalia’s chartered flight? And who else was at the ranch?
Would you like any wood pulp on your pasta? Nowhere in the FDA’s official definition of parmesan cheese is there the suggestion that “wood pulp” would be an appropriate ingredient. A new report by Bloomberg News found that some brands advertised as 100 percent parmesan weren’t that. The FDA’s guidelines are vague about the permitted level of cellulose, an approved additive made from wood pulp, which stops the cheese from clustering. Per industry standard, around 2 percent is all that’s needed. But some products contain more than four times that amount, according to Bloomberg. “The tipping point was grated cheese, where less than 40 percent of the product was actually a cheese product,” Neil Schuman, who owns Arthur Schuman Inc., which controls a third of the hard Italian cheese market in the U.S., told Bloomberg.

The war on encryption Apple vows to resist FBI demand to help crack iPhone tied to San Bernardino attacks Apple CEO Tim Cook said granting the FBI’s request to bypass an iPhone security feature would set a “dangerous precedent.”

Why even the FBI can’t hack the iPhone
LUCA BRUNO (AP)
TECHNOLOGY A U.S. magistrate’s order for Apple Inc. to help the FBI hack into an iPhone used by the gunman in the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., sets up an extraordinary legal fight with implications for ordinary consumers and digital privacy. The clash brings to a head a long-simmering debate between technology companies insistent on protecting digital privacy and law enforcement agencies concerned about becoming unable to recover evidence or eavesdrop on the communications of terrorists or criminals. On Wednesday, the White House began disputing the contention by Apple’s chief executive officer, Tim Cook, that the Obama administration is seeking to force the software company to build a “backdoor” to bypass digital locks protecting consumer information on Apple’s popular iPhones. The early arguments set the stage for what will likely be a protracted policy and public relations fight in the courts, on Capitol Hill, on the Internet and elsewhere. “They are not asking Apple to redesign its product or to create a new backdoor to one of their products,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. “They’re simply asking for something that would have an impact on this one device.” Within hours of the judge’s order on Tuesday telling Apple to aid the FBI with special software in the case, Cook promised a court challenge. He said the software the FBI would need to unlock the gunman’s work-issued iPhone 5C is “undeniably” a backdoor. Cook compared it to a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks, and said there was no way to keep the technique secret once it’s developed.
“Once the information is known, or a way to bypass the code is revealed, the encryption can be defeated by anyone with that knowledge,” Cook said. At the center of the debate are the private data on nearly 900 million iPhones sold worldwide: photographs, videos, messages, health records and more. The ruling by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym represents a significant victory for the Justice Department, which last year decided not to pursue a legislative fix to address encryption. Federal officials until now have struggled to identify a highprofile case to make its concerns resonate. But in siding with the government, Pym was persuaded that agents investigating the worst terror attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11 had been hobbled by their inability to unlock the county-owned phone used by Syed Farook, who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people in December before
“The U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create.” APPLE CEO TIM COOK, in a strongly worded open letter posted late Tuesday on the company’s website
dying in a police shootout. Apple has provided default encryption on its iPhones since 2014, allowing any device’s contents to be accessed only by the user who knows the phone’s passcode. The phone Farook was using was configured to erase data after 10 consecutive, unsuccessful unlocking attempts. The magistrate ordered Apple to create special software the FBI could load onto the phone to

bypass the self-destruct feature. The FBI wants to be able to try different combinations in rapid sequence until it finds the right one. The judge said the software should include a “unique identifier” so that it can’t be used to unlock other iPhones. It was unclear how readily the software could be modified to work on other iPhones. “If a court can legally compel Apple to do that, then it likely could legally compel any other software provider to do the same thing,” said Kevin Bankston, director of the Open Technology Institute at New America. The next step wasn’t immediately clear. The judge gave Apple five days to contest the order as unreasonably burdensome. A magistrate judge on the lowest rung of the federal judiciary almost certainly could not establish meaningful precedent without affirmation from a higher-court judge, which means the fight is likely to proceed up the chain. ERIC TUCKER AND TAMI ABDOLLAH (AP)
Apple has significantly beefed up security on the iPhone in recent years, which is why it says they cannot just unlock the phone for the FBI. Only the phone knows what the passcode is, and there’s no way to get around that, according to Apple’s security whitepaper. You just have to try over and over. Here’s the problem. When you enter a passcode into your iPhone, the processor has to make a calculation to check if your code is correct. But Apple has made the math so complicated that it takes about 80 milliseconds — roughly 1⁄12 of a second — for the phone to crunch the numbers. “This means it would take more than 5 ½ years to try all combinations of a six-character alphanumeric passcode with lowercase letters and numbers,” Apple security guide says. If the San Bernardino shooters picked a six-letter passcode that only uses numbers or lowercase letters, there are over 2.1 billion possibilities. At about 12 tries a second, that’s about 5 ½ years to go through them all (assuming you don’t fry the iPhone’s processor by then). But when using only six numerical digits and no letters, which is the default setting, the arrangement can only be made in 1 million ways. Given Apple’s help, the FBI could crack such a six-number passcode in about 22 hours. JEFF GUO

Testosterone gel has modest perks A rigorous study finds that the hormone isn’t a fountain of youth HEALTH A landmark study published in today’s New England Journal of Medicine suggests that testosterone treatment is no fountain of youth, finding mostly modest improvement in the sex lives, walking strength and mood of a select group of older men. The results from the government-funded study are the first solid evidence of whether these supplements, which have become a multibillion-dollar industry feeding on aging men’s desire to remain youthful, can help treat low sex drive and lack of energy sometimes blamed on aging. The researchers emphasized that the findings pertain only to use of testosterone gel by men 65 and older with low hormone levels and related symptoms; whether similar benefits would occur in younger men or with pills, patches or shots is unknown. Also, the research was not extensive enough to determine whether long-term use raises the risk of heart attacks and prostate cancer, as some studies have suggested. The study involved almost 800 men 65 and older. All had low blood levels of testosterone, the main male sex hormone. They

Improvement in sex lives was modest among the testosterone group, and the benefits in erectile function were less that what has been seen with Viagra and similar drugs. The men on testosterone had slightly greater improvement in mood and walking strength than the other men, but there was no difference in energy boost between the two groups. Lead author Dr. Peter Snyder said the findings suggest but don’t prove that the hormone builds muscles and increases strength and energy. LINDSEY TANNER (AP)

The battle then is for second and third, with Ted Cruz likely to occupy one of those slots and the “establishment” three — Rubio, Jeb Bush and John Kasich — battling for the other. The key for Rubio on Saturday is not to beat Trump; it’s to beat the other establishment candidates. Haley’s endorsement should help for these reasons. 1. She is immensely popular among Republicans in the state. A Winthrop University poll conducted in December 2015 showed her with an 81 percent approval rating among likely Republican primary voters. 2. You can be certain that every newspaper in South Carolina will have this news on its front page. And add to that the massive amount of news coverage nationally that the endorsement will draw. 3. Having someone as popular in the state as Haley (and Sen. Tim Scott and Rep. Trey Gowdy) behind Rubio will make him look like the “hot” candidate in the race. CHRIS CILLIZZA

THREE POINTERS
Meet the new boss
In need of a spark The Wizards have been lackluster but still aren’t far from a playoff berth
WIZARDS The first half of the season couldn’t have been much more disappointing for the Wizards, who entered the year as a playoff contender and have seen just about everything go wrong, from injuries to ineffective play. But in part because of the weakness of the Eastern Conference, the Wizards (23-28) remain in the mix for a playoff spot with 31 games to go, beginning tonight against Utah at Verizon Center. Washington is just three games out of the No. 8 seed, which sets up an intriguing stretch run. “It’s not a lot of games [left] when you think of how fast the NBA season goes,” point guard John Wall said during All-Star weekend. “We’ve just got to go out and compete. We know what it takes to win.” Here are some things to keep an eye on during the final eight weeks of the regular season.
1. Wall’s will At 25, he is having arguably his best season, averaging a career-high 20 points with 9.9 assists. But so far that effort hasn’t been rewarded with team success. Can he keep it up? It would be more likely with more help, and the best possibility is

backcourt mate Bradley Beal. He is averaging 18.7 points but because of injuries missed 21 of the first 51 games. If he can stay on the court, Wall’s burden will be easier to bear.
3 His coaching mentor When Baker was manager of the Giants, the 49ers’ Bill Walsh shared his plan for building an organization and his philosophy of life (“always be open to new ideas”).
2. Standing pat? With the NBA trade deadline at 3 p.m. today, the Wizards have been linked to several potential deals — including one for Pelicans stretch four Ryan Anderson — but it’s hard to imagine them jeopardizing their pursuit of Kevin Durant this summer by adding salary or personnel. The Wizards have expiring contracts, but those don’t have their usual allure in trades because of the upcoming salary-cap increase.
3. Advantageous schedule The Wizards could get a lift from having the NBA’s second-easiest schedule in the second half. They play the 76ers three times, the Nets and Timberwolves twice each and the Suns. But to take advantage, the Wizards — 11-16 at Verizon Center this season — will have to play better in their 14 remaining home games. And they will have to survive playing three games in the next three nights.
4. Full arsenal The Wizards have been crippled by injuries, with an NBA-high 221 games lost. But Washington
2 Living large Baker’s offseason home is in the Sacramento, Calif., area, where he grew up. The compound has a vineyard, basketball court, batting cage and solar power system.
Back-to-back-to-back Thanks to the snowstorm in D.C. last month — when the Wizards postponed a game against the Jazz — Washington now faces a scheduling quirk in which it plays three games in three nights coming out of the All-Star break, an intense run that could set the tone for the second half. The last time NBA teams played games back-to-back-to-back was in 2011-12, a result of the lockout, when a 66-game schedule didn’t begin until Christmas Day. After the Wizards host Utah tonight, they play Detroit on Friday before flying to Miami to play the Heat on Saturday. (E.S.)

is finally starting to get healthy. The expected return of swingman Alan Anderson this week will give coach Randy Wittman his greatest flexibility in a while.
5. Defense first It’s hard to imagine the Wizards being worse on defense in the second half than they were in the first, when they allowed opponents to make 47.1 percent of their field-goal attempts, tied for the highest percentage in the league. Fixing the defense might be Wittman’s most difficult — but crucial — challenge in the race for the playoffs.

No fear of heavy hitters Capitals don’t mind facing physical teams in consecutive games WASHINGTONPOST.COM NATIONALS JOURNAL
Strasburg gets a shot to fulfill sky-high hopes JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)
CAPITALS Two nights after a heavyweight bout against the Kings, the Capitals expect another hard-hitting affair tonight when they visit the Islanders (7, CSN). “There were definitely a few extra ice bags in here,” T.J. Oshie said after practice Wednesday, “but hopefully [the Kings] had even more, and maybe the Islanders will, too.” The Capitals (41-10 - 4; 86 points) find themselves playing consecutive games against the NHL’s top-hitting teams in the Kings and Islanders. It’s a challenge the Capitals say they are equipped to handle. “You need to play the game that’s presented to you,” said Jason Chimera, who scored his 16th goal of the season in Tuesday’s 3-1 win. “You can’t try to play run-and-gun hockey against those guys — you’ve got to play a physical type of game and we’ve got the guys in here to do it. “We’re not a small team by any means, so I think we’re pretty set on playing any game.” The physical brand of hockey

the Kings and Islanders present this week is a good reminder of what likely awaits the first-place Capitals in the postseason. The Capitals saw firsthand in the playoffs last year that they can grind out wins and beat the Islanders at their own game. “One of the most physical series I’ve ever been in,” coach Barry Trotz said of Washington’s victory in the first-round series,

which went seven games. “It was vicious, it was hard — it was a man’s game. “We’ve had to learn how to play and do well like that, and I think we’ve made strides in that the last year and a half.” The Capitals also are confident that the return of defenseman Brooks Orpik will strengthen their physical presence. Orpik missed 40 games because of

a lower-body bone injury but had five hits in 16:43 of ice time Tuesday. “It’s huge,” Trotz said of the impact Orpik can have on the Capitals’ desire to play a heavy game. “Late in games around our net, on the penalty kill, he’s a big, strong body. Against the Kings, Brooks had a real big effect; he killed plays and shut things off real quickly.” BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS)

The Nationals’ Stephen Strasburg enters his walk season in an ideal position — coming off arguably the best stretch of his career. His 1.90 ERA and 92 strikeouts to eight walks over his final 10 starts was the closest he has come to reaching the skyhigh expectations set for him. Strasburg, who will turn 28 in July, was throwing harder last summer than he had since 2012. He threw more strikes. He induced weak contact and popups at the highest rates of his career. In those final weeks, he was on par with baseball’s elite. And after minor surgery on his back this winter, he has enjoyed a healthy offseason. If he can carry his late-season form into this year — pitchers and catchers report to spring training today in Viera, Fla. — the rotation will more easily be able to cope with the loss of Jordan Zimmermann and Doug Fister. Strasburg has a lot on the line personally, too. The Nationals and his agent, Scott Boras, don’t appear to be working on an extension, which is not surprising. Strasburg appeared likely to test free agency given Boras’ belief in the power of the open market and the Nationals’ belief in the limited lifespan of a rebuilt elbow. Playing to earn a multi-year contract means Strasburg’s mental fortitude will be tested, too. JAMES WAGNER

EXHIBITS They are bits of space graffiti that have been hidden from the public for decades: a crude calendar, scrawled lunar coordinates and markings warning of a locker containing “smelly waste.” Apollo 11 astronauts left those scribbles inside the spacecraft that took them on their historic mission to the moon in 1969, and now the public will get to see them for the first time. National Air and Space Museum officials presented a preview last week of a virtual 3-D model that will give the public a look inside the car-size Apollo 11
command module. No longer will museum visitors have to try to peer inside through one of the capsule’s small windows or hatch. The model, expected to be available to download and view online in June, will allow anyone to examine the craft’s controls and see writing left by its astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. (People with 3-D printers will be able to reproduce the model at home.) The Apollo 11 command module, called Columbia, has been a star attraction at the museum since its opening in 1976.

A virtual-reality experience that integrates the newly obtained data and lets visitors feel like they’re inside Columbia is expected to open in 2020 as part of an exhibit called “Destination Moon.” One piece of graffiti curators found on a wall is the crude calendar for July 1969. There’s nothing special written on July 20 — the day Armstrong became the first man on the moon. On the capsule’s calendar, it’s just another day that’s crossed out. JESSICA GRESKO (AP)

EXHIBITS Landscape-painting enthusiast Paul Allen has decided to share his art collection with the world. And seeing as how he’s the gazillionaire co-founder of Microsoft, you can imagine it’s pretty impressive. “Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection” arrived at the Phillips Collection from the Portland Art Museum earlier this month. Featuring 39 of Allen’s favorite landscapes, the exhibition provides a kind of history lesson on European and American landscape painting, from the 17th century to the present day.
Klaus Ottmann, the Phillips’ deputy director for curatorial and academic affairs, theorizes that Allen’s love for landscapes stems from his interest in brain research (he founded the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle in 2003). “Certain neural activity in the brain leads to the perception of space and landscape,” Ottmann says. “The connection between landscape and the brain goes back to the idea of the sublime.” Or it could just be that Allen likes them because they’re pretty to look at. ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS) Phillips Collection, 1600 21st St. NW; through May 8, $12.
PAUL G. ALLEN FAMILY COLLECTION PHOTOS
Enjoy the view at the Phillips ‘The Five Senses: Smell’ Jan Brueghel the Younger, c. 1625
“Seeing Nature” begins with Brueghel’s series of allegorical paintings on the senses of sight, touch, smell, sound and taste. “The emphasis on the five senses makes for a very intimate experience,” Ottmann says. Although Brueghel’s paintings incorporate nature, they don’t necessarily look like landscapes in the traditional sense. “ ’Landscape’ is a 19th-century term. There wasn’t much consideration for it before,” Ottmann says. “For Brueghel, landscape was just used as a decorative background, a symbol of the sublime.”
‘View in Venice — The Grand Canal’ Edouard Manet, 1874
‘Birch Forest’ Gustav Klimt, 1903
This Klimt painting is one of Allen’s and Ottmann’s favorites in the exhibition. “It’s stunning,” Ottmann says. “It’s incredible how it was painted with hundreds and hundreds of brushstrokes.” This is one of a number of works Klimt painted during a summer retreat in Litzlberg, Austria, where he spent so much time in the woods that locals started calling him “the forest demon.” This particular painting belonged to Ferdinand and Adele BlochBauer, a well-to-do Jewish couple in Vienna, before it was confiscated by the Nazis. Finally restituted to the Bloch-Bauer family in 2006, “Birch Forest” was sold at auction for $40.3 million later that year (presumably to Allen).
“Venice is one of Allen’s favorite places,” Ottmann says, explaining why the Italian city features in many of Allen’s acquisitions. Manet painted “View in Venice” on his second trip there, and it’s one of only two paintings he made of the famed Grand Canal. The other is at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont. At “Seeing Nature,” you’ll also find Venice as rendered by Canaletto and J.M.W. Turner, among others.
‘Grand Canyon of Arizona at Sunset’ Thomas Moran, 1909
After Venice, the Grand Canyon seems to be Allen’s other favorite setting, represented by several paintings at the exhibition. “Moran’s ‘Grand Canyon’ is just so magnificent,” Ottmann says. “There’s something about being confronted with this scale of nature.” Moran himself was so enamored of the Grand Canyon that he went back to experience it almost every year and encouraged fellow artists to do the same. Another piece in the collection, a wall-spanning 1998 painting by David Hockney, presents a contemporary take on America’s most famed natural wonder.

‘Collaborators’ doesn’t let truth dictate the story KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY FILM RIFFS
Games on! “Race,” out Friday, is based on the true story of Jesse Owens, who ran a RACE (races, actually) in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, where the leader had some pretty messed-up ideas about RACE. The Olympics often make for a compelling movie background. TONY HITCHCOCK
STAGE Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and famed Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov are collaborators in “Collaborators.” They didn’t conspire in real life, but Spooky Action Theater’s latest production asks the audience to imagine a 1938 Moscow where just about anything is possible. “Adjust your imagination constantly,” says Richard Henrich, the theater’s artistic director. “The creative imagination of the audience helps to make it possible.” In the satire, written by “Trainspotting” screenwriter John Hodge, a series of unusual circumstances leads to the dictator writing a play about himself in Bulgakov’s name and the writer signing official decrees in Stalin’s name in return. Although Bulgakov, author of the acclaimed novel “The Master and Margarita,” and Stalin never had such a relationship in real life, “Collaborators” references many actual events. For example, although the government eventually censored much of Bulgakov’s work, one of his early plays, “The White Guard,” was one of Stalin’s favorites (he saw it 15 times). It’s also true that after all of Bulgakov’s work was banned in 1929, Stalin personally called Bulgakov and gave the writer a chance to continue working at
Joseph Stalin (Joe Duquette) and Mikhail Bulgakov (Paul Reisman) unite in “Collaborators.”
“The play is ... about the conflict of imagination and the restrictions we impose upon ourselves.” RICHARD HENRICH, director of “Collaborators” and artistic director of Spooky Action Theater
the Moscow Art Theatre, likely in an effort to keep him from defecting. “The most interesting historical fact is that Bulgakov actually
MIGHTY COCONUT
in dies + a r t i es
did write a play about Stalin’s youth to celebrate Stalin’s 60th birthday, just like in ‘Collaborators,’ ” says Henrich, who is also the play’s director. Bulgakov was on his way to start rehearsals in Batumi, Georgia, the city where the dictator got his start as a revolutionary, when “he got a telegram, saying, ‘Forget it. The trip’s not worth it; come back to Moscow.’ The play was never finalized or performed,” Henrich says. As much as “Collaborators” focuses on themes of freedom of expression and artistic integrity, it also creates a dreamlike atmosphere, similar to the ones
the real Bulgakov constructed in his writing. “My take on the play is that it’s about the conflict of imagination and the restrictions we impose upon ourselves,” Henrich says. “It gives us the opportunity to play with reality,” by putting an artist in power, for example, or showing the character of Stalin as somewhat affable — at least on the surface. “It feels like you’re dreami ng wh i le you’re awa ke.” ELENA GOUKASSIAN (FOR EXPRESS)

It’s easy to think of film festivals as buffets, where you can sample everything at once. That’s not really how festivals work, though — you have to stick with what you’ve chosen till the lights come up. DC Shorts WINS is kind of a second helping of the hits of last year’s DC Shorts fest; for two nights they show the most popular and successful films (like “The OceanMaker,” left), including some that have received Oscar nominations. The two 90-minute slates can be viewed on separate days or, for $5 cheaper, as a three-hour, one-night double-header. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)
‘OLYMPIA’: This film about the 1936 games was the first documentary on the Olympics. When Jesse Owens wins the long jump, though, director Leni Riefenstahl doesn’t show Hitler’s reaction. Weird. ‘THE CUTTING EDGE’: The figure-skating team of Doug (D.B. Sweeney) and Kate (Moira Kelly) proves that opposites attract — both each other and gold medals. Now say, “toe pick!” YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. ‘FOXCATCHER’: Steve Carell’s unsettling performance as a man who strove to get wrestlers to the 1988 games (Greco-Roman, not WWF) anchored this 2014 film, assuming you don’t count Channing Tatum’s arms. ‘COOL RUNNINGS’: Here’s the problem with basing sports movies on real-life events, like this story of the Jamaican bobsledding team that competed in 1988: Underdog movies are better when the underdog wins. Which isn’t the case here. ‘UNBROKEN’: Angelina Jolie directed the true story of distance runner Louis Zamperini, who didn’t kick much butt in the 1936 games (he finished eighth) but found plenty to kick later as a WWII hero.

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? ‘Suspended Animation’ blurs zeros and ones with flesh and blood
EXHIBITS Imagine a future where we’ve lost the ability to feel sad. It was beaten out of us by a relentless stream of advertisements immersing us in increasingly realistic fantasy worlds, free of sorrow and strife. To put us back in touch with our tears, a progressive government agency launches a public service campaign using the very tools that alienated us from our feelings in the first place. That’s the premise for a new installation called “The Pleasure of Being Sad” by French artist Antoine Catala — one of six artists exploring humanity’s relationship with the digital world in a new Hirshhorn exhibit, “Suspended Animation,” which opened last week. “I thought it would be funny to make an advertisement, but instead of trying to sell happiness like we usually do, trying to sell sadness,” Catala says. His futuristic ad, about the size of one you’d see at a train station or bus stop, features videos of attractive, tear-streaked models projected onto a flexible plastic screen. Every so often, a puff of air causes a grid of tear shapes to push the screen from behind,
embossing the main image. “Here we have a screen that has humanlike qualities,” says Gianni Jetzer, the show’s curator and the Hirshhorn’s new curatorat-large. “It’s almost living, because it’s breathing. It mimics an organism that is alive.” Exploring how we flesh-andblood humans respond to artificial life is the theme of “Suspended Animation,” Jetzer says, and some of the life forms on view are rather sexy. For instance, a naked avatar reminiscent of a young Jude Law stars in a video by British artist Ed Adkins called “Warm, Warm, Warm Spring Mouths.” Stranded in his digital world, the avatar taps on the screen and expresses frustration at his inability to connect with the real world. Borrowing lines from poet Gilbert Sorrentino, the avatar says, among other things, “I don’t want to hear any news on the radio about the weather on the weekend” — getting at the idea that the representation of weather (hearing about it) is not nearly as satisfying as going outdoors and feeling the rain on your face. “On one hand, he is kind of human, but on the emotional level he’s not really able to relate to what he is speaking about,” Jetzer says. The avatar’s frustration reminds us humans that we, too, live in a world that isn’t

altogether real. Take, for instance, images of celebrities and politicians, which are so realistic and pervasive that we forget we’ve never seen these people in the flesh. American artist Josh Kline explores that illusion with his video piece “Hope and Change.” In it, an alternate-universe Barack Obama delivers a fiery 2009 inauguration address, which
includes a rousing indictment against “the Washington, D.C., gun mafia, [which] keeps blackmailing Congress and blocking the passage of sensible gun laws,” “rogue bankers” and “corporations who duck out on taxes and ship jobs overseas and then expect us to bail them out.” This liberal fever dream comes courtesy of face-mapping software, which allowed Kline to digitally
paste features of Obama’s face onto an impersonator. The effect is uncanny — sometimes you see traces of the impersonator’s eyes above Obama’s — and intentionally so, Jetzer says. “It’s like this strange double persona, a digital Frankenstein, and it shows, on one hand, all the many manipulations that can be done, and on the other hand, the failure of impersonators and the
ED ATKINS
W/ SAM QUINN filter of software to make a true facsimile,” he says. As technology improves, it will be increasingly difficult to tell the difference between real and virtual worlds, Jetzer says, which makes this exhibit all the more thought-provoking. “For me, what is really important is to show how we relate to electronic characters and how the carnal body gets replaced by the electronic body,” Jetzer says.

Totally bowled over
It’s raining ramen, hallelujah. In D.C., fans of the Japanese noodle-and-broth bowl now have their choice of cheap ramen, expensive ramen, chef-made ramen and only-inthe-District ramen. They can get ramen in the styles of Kyoto, Tokyo, Sapporo and Taipei, or a fusion. There are bowls topped with butter, bacon, mustard greens and even cheese. Last year, David Chang’s Momofuku CCDC arrived in the District and Jonah Kim began slinging bowls of broth at Yona in Ballston. It won’t be long before Daikaya unleashes two more ramen-centric restaurants: Haikan in Shaw and Bantam King in Chinatown. It’s enough to overwhelm even the most fervent ramen followers. Which is why a field guide to some of Washington’s most interesting bowls may come in handy. TEXT BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND EXPRESS; PHOTOS BY EMMA MCALARY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

which combines miso with barley (mugi) and sansho, a Japanese seasoning you may know as Sichuan pepper. TOPPINGS: Chashu, ground pork, bean sprouts, onions, garlic, nori, scallions.
The Daikaya team first came across mugi-miso while doing research and development in Japan for several months. Although Sapporo (the birthplace of white miso ramen) is in the northern reaches of the country, mugi-miso comes from southern Kyushu, co-owner Daisuke Utagawa says. Even so, he says, “You don’t really see mugi-miso ramen in Japan,” making this Daikaya bowl — bright and slightly more acidic than its brethren — a local anomaly as well as an international one. BECKY KRYSTAL
TOPPINGS: Chashu, menma, bean sprouts, pickled ginger, scallions, toasted nori.
The name is custom-made for confusion. The pork shio ramen at Kizuna features a broth developed without a single piece of porcine anatomy — it’s built from chicken bones and whole birds, gizzards and all. For those pork-ramen chauvinists out there — guilty! — Kizuna chef and partner Scott Han proves that bird-based bowls can have as much depth as their milky, porky tonkotsu counterparts. The chef’s misdirection begins with his base, or tare, which is not a classic shio (or salty) mixture at the bottom of the bowl. Instead, Han cooks down ginger, garlic and apples in oil as a base, then pours the long-simmered chicken broth on top, creating one of the most distinctive and complex ramens anywhere, no matter what creature donated its bones to the cause. Not that it needs anything more, but you can juice the noodle soup with a few pinches of karashi takana, an extra condiment made with pickled mustard greens, garlic and chilies. The flavor booster releases deep charges of heat and acidity in this rich ocean of ramen topped with braised pork belly. TIM CARMAN CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

scallions.
BROTH: Chicken stock seasoned with lemongrass, chili, garlic, onion and fish sauce.
Ren’s Ramen can be intimidating. A sign at the door to this strip mall gem demands that you sign in. Another plastered inside warns that your car will be towed if you park in the wrong spot. Then there are the rules: no credit cards, no strollers, no changing of tables and no seats until your whole party has arrived. But once you dive into the ramen, those demands devolve from nuisances to quirks. The tonkotsu — a rich, creamy broth that requires at least 18 hours to make — can take most of the credit for that. The broth, slick with tiny globules of pork fat and pungent with garlic, is a welcome indulgence, especially when clouded with miso and topped with slabs of roast pork. Sourced from a supplier in Hokkaido, Japan, the wavy, medium-thick noodles hide beneath a pile of bean sprouts, scallions, ground pork and fermented bamboo shoots called menma. Ren’s offers diners the option of a pat of butter, but this ramen has more than enough goodness all on its own. EMILY CODIK
This cuisine-defying ramen shop in Dupont Circle draws inspiration from around the world, including Thailand, the homeland of owner Metinee “May” Lieppert. The tom yum ramen is nearly identical to a soup of the same name found on almost every supper table in Thailand. “The only difference is we serve it with noodles here instead of rice,” Lieppert says. “The only thing Japanese about this dish is the noodles.” Unlike Lieppert’s other ramens — which are precooked in bulk — the tom yum is made to order to keep the shrimp paste from clumping, which can occur when it’s sitting on heat all day. The broth is made with chili paste and chicken stock, lemongrass, lime juice and whole milk. The dish is served with a deep-fried, head-on jumbo prawn bobbing in the broth. “I want to give people a new experience,” Lieppert says of the showstopper. “It would be really easy to give people a peeled piece of shrimp, but it won’t wow them.” HOLLEY SIMMONS
TOPPINGS: Chashu, ground pork, bean sprouts, menma,
TOPPINGS: Whole fried jumbo prawn, cilantro.
You probably wouldn’t be reading this guide if it weren’t for Momofuku. This is the bowl that elevated ramen to the American mainstream and led to a ramen joint in every upscale-urban-millennial-creative neighborhood in the country. David Chang opened Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York’s East Village in 2004. “It wasn’t cool to eat ramen back then,” Chang wrote in “Lucky Peach” last year. The Momofuku broth is slightly oily and a little smoky, enriched by the pop of a poached egg. For those who have grown accustomed to the incredible varieties of ramen out there — each shouting for your attention with more miso and layers of spice — it will seem a little spartan in comparison. But in the U.S., this ramen is just as much a part of the dish’s past as its present, and to try it is to consider both, simultaneously. “Momofuku ramen is our own story and no one else’s. We borrowed but made it our own narrative,” Chang wrote. And for that, we say: Thank goodness for Momofuku. MAURA JUDKIS

40th Anniversary!
Walter Matthau is Morris Buttermaker, a drunken pool cleaner and onetime minor league prospect recruited to coach a Los Angeles Little League team of hapless misfits. Buttermaker adds two ringers: his ex-girlfriend’s baseball-loving daughter, Amanda Wurlitzer (Tatum O’Neal), and the athletically gifted but precociously criminal Kelly Leak (Jackie Earle Haley), while the players learn to set their differences aside, pool their talents and rally around an us-against-the-world mentality to challenge the league’s top team, the Yankees. Gloriously un-P.C. but surprisingly progressive beneath its crude exterior, this is an only-in-the-1970s version of a “kids’ movie.“ “An unblinking, scathing look at competition in American society.“ –Roger Ebert. DIR Michael Ritchie; SCR Bill Lancaster; PROD Stanley R. Jaffe. U.S., 1976, color, 102 min. RATED PG
Oscar Micheaux’s powerful drama is the oldest known surviving film by an African-American filmmaker. A black schoolteacher, Sylvia Landry (Evelyn Preer), leaves her Southern home for the North in an effort to raise funds for her school. On her journey, she experiences hardships, duplicity and amazing reversals of fortune. A new romance blooms with Dr. Vivian, who, hearing about Sylvia’s family life in the segregated South, is reminded of the murder and injustice whites have inflicted on blacks there for generations. Micheaux intended this film to be a riposte to D. W. Griffith’s race-baiting THE BIRTH OF A NATION, a blockbuster hit in 1915. DIR/SCR/PROD Oscar Micheaux. U.S., 1920, b&w, 79 min.

Teinosuke Kinugasa’s 1926 film is a landmark of avant-garde cinema, employing freewheeling montage, double-exposed images and famously forgoing the use of any intertitles to convey its moody, impressionistic tale of love and madness.

After a mishap in the ring, American boxing champ John Wayne returns to his native Ireland and falls for the charms of fiery redhead Maureen O’Hara. Her shifty brother Victor McLaglen is eager to marry her off, but when McLaglen fails to deliver the dowry, O’Hara informs Wayne there’ll be no peace until he gets it for her — setting off much comic mayhem.

A critical and commercial hit voted the best Irish film of all time in a 2005 poll, THE COMMITMENTS has been little seen in the U.S. since its 1991 release. Based on the Roddy Doyle novel about the rise and fall of a rough-and-tumble white Irish soul band, the film launched the careers of several members of its cast of young unknowns, including Glen Hansard (ONCE) and the four members of The Corrs. The film’s soundtrack charted around the world, featuring cast band versions of “Mustang Sally,“ “Take Me to the River,“ “Chain of Fools“ and “Try a Little Tenderness.“ DIR Alan Parker; SCR Dick Clement, Ian La Frenais, Roddy Doyle, from his novel; PROD Lynda Myles, Roger Randall-Cutler.

“The sword is the soul. Study the soul to know the sword. Evil mind, evil sword.“ Edgy, intense and finally unhinged, Tatsuya Nakadai (RAN, HARAKIRI) gives one of his greatest performances in this cult classic samurai spectacular. Nakadai plays Ryunosuke Tsukue, a master swordsman during Japan’s Edo period, possessed of great skill but strangely soulless and lacking a moral compass. In exile after his affair with a colleague’s wife leads to a fatal duel, the rónin Ryunosuke falls in with a murderous militia of the Tokugawa shogunate. But for Ryunosuke, there’s no escaping his demons, or his own thirst for combat..

Amid the bustle of final preparations, an unexpected tragedy (to reveal it in advance would blunt the impact of this carefully constructed narrative) forces the couple to debate decisions with serious moral implications and no easy answers.

An old woman who has lived through Iran’s tumultuous recent history recalls the events of her life and her nation through the shoes she and those close to her wore over the years. Haghadi’s images, composed almost entirely of footwear, bring the woman’s recollections to life in ways that are both playful and moving. DIR/SCR/PROD Payman Haghadi; SCR Hamid-Reza Keshani.

“You’ve never seen an Iranian movie like this,“ wrote Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News, “nor probably any movie quite like it, either.“ In this surreal Tehran nocturne, two drunk party girls get into a car accident and receive help from a mysterious stranger (played by Mohammad Reza Golzar, an unnervingly dead ringer for George Clooney). He pays off the other driver and enlists the girls in an errand involving a supposedly dead dictator, whose weapons of mass destruction are hidden in another dimension. With its apocalyptic and supernatural overtones — and surprising pop culture references ranging from an obscure Pink Floyd album to Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky“ — Ali Ahmadzadeh’s film paints a picture of contemporary Iran like no other.

In a futuristic Japan, the Sibyl System is charged with keeping the peace. Using extensive surveillance and biological monitoring to gauge the likelihood that individuals will commit a crime, the police are able to remove potential criminals from the population before they become a problem. Confident with the success of the Sybil System, the Japanese government begins exporting the technology to other countries. But when foreign terrorists begin slipping through the System’s security and attacking from within, Inspector Akane Tsunemori is sent overseas to investigate. Now forced into a standoff with an old ally, will Tsunemori be able to pull the trigger? DIR

The winner of the top award at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival, this is the third film Jafar Panahi (THE WHITE BALLOON, OFFSIDE) has made in defiance of a 20-year ban on filmmaking imposed on him by the Iranian government in 2010. In it, the affable director crisscrosses Tehran behind the wheel of a taxi, giving rides to a variety of its denizens. While the tone of TAXI is lighter than that of his previous violations of the ban, THIS IS NOT A FILM and CLOSED CURTAIN, like them it wittily challenges the very notion of banning cinema in a time when everyone carries a camera.

Leading Golden Age Age Leading Men Men of Hollywood’s Hollywood’s Golden The Great Profile. The Man of a Thousand Faces. The Great Lover — and the Latin Lover. The King of Hollywood. Bogie, Coop and The Duke. The men who rose to stardom during Hollywood’s Golden Age had larger-than-life personalities, recognizable qualities that they brought to each screen role, a certain style and recognizable shading even at their most chameleonic. Many were most at home playing urban sophisticates in romantic comedies; others were raw-boned, rangy men of action who specialized in adventure; some habitually disappeared into disguise to shock or surprise the audience, the performer plumbing, too, the depths of his own identity. The 1950s would bring new stars and the Method, the New Hollywood era made possible careers previously unthinkable, but the stars of the Golden Age shine brighter today than many who have ascended since. This selection of signature films featuring more than 20 Golden Age actors follows 2015’s Leading Ladies of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Don’t see your favorite star here, or the great silent comedians like Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd? Fear not — further plans to screen films from this era are in store for this year and beyond.

Broadway impresario Oscar Jaffe (Barrymore) recasts lingerie model Mildred Plotka (Lombard) as “Lily Garland,“ making her the star in a hit play and soon his love interest. But the tempestuous relationship between svengali and star leads to an acrimonious split, with Garland cashing in out in Hollywood while Jaffe suffers a string of expensive flops minus his leading lady.

Though it features a record five dance numbers between the two, one of the real stars of this film is the original score, composed by Irving Berlin. Rogers insisted on wearing an elaborately feathered gown for their “Cheek to Cheek“ dance, which Astaire hated (it shed profusely), and, in a rare instance, the two fought.

The job goes smoothly, but the getaway is another story.

Looking to recapture the Bogie-Bacall magic of TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, Howard Hawks selected this Raymond Chandler whodunit as a vehicle to showcase more of the pair’s smart talk. Hired to investigate the blackmailing of society wild child Carmen Sternwood (Martha Vickers), private dick Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) falls for her classy, sassy older sister Vivian (Lauren Bacall). The famously byzantine plot — murders proliferate, solutions do not — and the lurid hint of drug use and pornography behind Carmen’s blackmailing provide ample intrigue, but it’s all a backdrop for the stars’ racy, innuendo-laced repartee.

James Cagney plays the tenement-dwelling hood, clever and ruthless, who rises through the ranks to become a big-shot bootlegger during Prohibition.

This milestone gangster movie suggests “the world has changed“ as a riposte to SCARFACE’s “the world is yours“ from the decade’s dawning. Walsh’s dynamic direction finds its apotheosis in the energetic Cagney, further intensified by Ernest Haller’s fluid, sweeping camerawork.

Reworking a number of motifs from Josef von Sternberg’s silent UNDERWORLD, which both Ben Hecht and Howard Hawks had also worked on, Hawks’ film is notable for its visual style, energetic storytelling and early mastery of sound technique. Paul Muni is riveting as the unpredictable, dangerously childlike Tony, overly possessive of his sister Ann Dvorak, to the vexation of both his vinegary moll, Karen Morley, and loyal lieutenant George Raft.

This classic Warner Bros. social problem film is based on a ripped-from-the headlines true story, with a galvanizing performance by Paul Muni. At loose ends following his service in the Great War, Muni leaves a boring office job to pursue his dream of becoming an engineer. But times are tough during the Depression, and Muni drifts into itinerant poverty. Caught up in a restaurant holdup, the innocent Muni is thrown in jail along with the perpetrators and sentenced to 10 years’ hard labor. Muni escapes and flees to Chicago, where he starts a new life under an assumed name. But a fugitive is never really free of his past. DIR Mervyn LeRoy; SCR Howard J.

Dizzy socialite Carole Lombard discovers a vagrant — played with insouciant verve by William Powell — who stands for every “forgotten man“ of the Great Depression who harbored dreams of bringing the rich to their knees before setting them on a path of moral righteousness. A cruel streak runs through the film’s madcap zaniness; never before — or since — has America’s privileged set been portrayed as such shrill, alcoholic nitwits.

MAN’S CASTLE Down-on-her-luck Loretta Young gets a lift from footloose Spencer Tracy in this romantic Depression-era delight. Tracy lives by his wits, but not by conventional codes of behavior, as he romances showgirl Glenda Farrell while shacking up with Young (literally shacking, in a Hooverville on the shores of the Hudson River). There’s plenty of pre-Code naughtiness, but director Frank Borzage goes to such extremes for exploration, not exploitation, lending “an aura to his characters, not merely through soft focus and a fluid camera, but through a genuine concern with the wondrous inner life of lovers in the midst of adversity.“ –Andrew Sarris.

William Cameron Menzies: Inventing Production Design February 19 - April 24
ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1933)
“We never talk enough about art directors in films. Critics have finally got around to talking about the authors of the script, but I haven’t noticed any big movement in favor of the art director. He’s an unsung hero. Underpaid, undervalued and in the case of William Cameron Menzies, a man impossible to over-praise.“ –Orson Welles.
Sat, Mar 5, 11:00 a.m.; Mon, Mar 7, 5:15
William Cameron Menzies originally trained as an illustrator, and his designs for the 1933 ALICE IN WONDERLAND strongly drew upon John Tenniel’s celebrated illustrations for the original editions of the novel “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.“ Paramount’s all-star production of the Lewis Carroll classic includes Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Edward Everett Horton, Charles Ruggles, Edna May Oliver and W. C. Fields. Teenager Charlotte Henry, in her first starring role, plays Alice. DIR Norman Z. McLeod; SCR William Cameron Menzies, Joseph L.

William Cameron Menzies’ more than one hundred screen credits include a multiplicity of roles, from art director (winning the very first Oscar® for Best Art Direction, awarded jointly for 1927’s THE DOVE and 1928’s TEMPEST) to special effects to screenwriter to producer and director. But his contribution to the movies is immeasurable. A trained artist, talented draftsman, visionary designer and tireless innovator, Menzies transformed the way movies were conceived and produced. His practice of not merely sketching set concepts but storyboarding entire sequences has with time become standard industry practice. Menzies’ combination of creative vision and practical planning played a crucial role in helping the studios navigate the difficult transition from silent to sound filmmaking, and over the years he lent his gifts to both low-budget larks and the biggest of blockbusters — including the one that birthed the title “production designer,“ now standard industry terminology: This series follows the recent publication of this influential filmmaker’s first-ever biography, “William Cameron Menzies: The Shape of Films to Come“ by James Curtis. 80th Anniversary!

Wells despised Fritz Lang’s METROPOLIS (1927) and wanted the adaptation of his own book “The Shape of Things to Come“ to stand apart. The resulting film’s politics were certainly different, but the striking visuals created by Menzies and artist/art director Vincent Korda were equally impressive and influential — particularly the visionary future world of Everytown, 2036.

A triumph of set design; William Cameron Menzies was awarded the very first Oscar® for Best Art Direction, awarded jointly for his work on this film and 1927’s THE DOVE. DIR Sam Taylor; SCR C.

Douglas Fairbanks’ magnum opus! As a wily thief in the bazaar, Fairbanks contents himself with taking what he wants, but after infiltrating the palace and meeting the Princess, he’s inspired to earn her hand and his happiness by competing with her other princely suitors in a fantastic scavenger hunt. The extravagant art nouveau sets were designed and built by William Cameron Menzies, making his legendary screen debut. The special effects still amaze; memorable set pieces include the magic rope, flying carpet, caverns of fire, a menagerie of monsters and a flying horse. Anna May Wong steals her scenes as a slave girl sent to spy by Mongol prince Sôjin Kamiyama. DIR/SCR/PROD Raoul Walsh; SCR Achmed Abdullah, Lotta Woods, adapted from “One Thousand and One Nights.“ U.S., 1924, tinted b&w, 149 min. Silent with recorded musical score. NOT RATED

“Where’s the rest of me?“ Ronald Reagan famously asks, waking from a railroad accident and surgery by small-town, secretly mad doctor Charles Coburn. Reagan recalled this turn-of-the-20th-century Midwestern melodrama, combining class snobbery, forbidden romance, family madness and medical malpractice, as a “slightly sordid but moving yarn.“ The cast includes Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings, Betty Field, Claude Rains and Judith Anderson. James Wong Howe’s deep focus black-and-white cinematography and William Cameron Menzies’ meticulously designed sets make the film a wonder for the eye.

“Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.“ Gary Cooper lends his customary dignity to the story of Yankee Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig, “The Iron Man of Baseball,“ whose brilliant career — 17 seasons and a streak of 2,130 consecutive games played — only came to an end after he fell ill and was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the disease now commonly known by his name. This screening marks the 75th anniversary of Gehrig’s famous farewell speech, delivered on July 4, 1939. DIR Sam Wood; SCR Jo Swerling, Herman J.

Bernard Herrmann: Stage, Screen and Radio April 1-26
THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS
A towering figure in 20th-century American music, Bernard Herrmann (1911–1975) has long been pigeon-holed as a “Hollywood composer.“ Though he is often considered the supreme American composer for film (CITIZEN KANE, VERTIGO, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, etc.), his concert output remains virtually unknown. Working closely with the young Orson Welles and later with the influential radio- and screenwriter Norman Corwin, he was also America’s foremost radio composer, and conductor of a radio orchestra — William Paley’s visionary CBS Symphony — that boldly promoted new and unfamiliar music.
Sat, Apr 2, 5:05; Sun, Apr 3, 11:05 a.m.
Orson Welles’ follow-up to CITIZEN KANE was this adaptation of Booth Tarkington’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, chronicling a prominent Midwestern family and their declining fortunes at the onset of the Industrial Age. For many, it ranks right behind KANE as Welles’ greatest achievement, with its bravura set pieces (such as the lavish Christmas ball that introduces the ensemble cast, including Joseph Cotten, Agnes Moorehead and Ray Collins). For others, it marks the beginning of the end: unsatisfied with test screenings, RKO ordered the 131-minute director’s cut abbreviated to its present length. The excised footage has never been found and remains a Holy Grail to Welles fans. “Even in this truncated form, it’s amazing and memorable.“ –Pauline Kael. DIR/SCR/PROD Orson Welles, SCR from the novel by Booth Tarkington. U.S., 1942, b&w, 88 min. NOT RATED
Produced by PostClassical Ensemble in collaboration with the AFI Silver Theatre, National Gallery of Art and Georgetown University, “Bernard Herrmann: Stage, Screen and Radio“ is the first festival ever to celebrate Herrmann “in the round“ as one of the most important and influential American musical personalities of his generation. Herrmann’s music for film, television, radio and the concert hall will be featured in a large and varied selection of screenings and performances. These programs have been made possible through the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; the National Endowment for the Arts; Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne; and the Estate of Norman Corwin. WAMU is the media sponsor.

SISTERS (1973) Mon, Apr 4, 9:45; Tue, Apr 5, 9:45
Brian De Palma’s first thriller combines multiple Hitchcockian homages with a knack for horrifically creative screen homicide — a template to which he would return again and again. Margot Kidder plays Danielle, a model-actress who was separated as an adult from her conjoined twin, Dominique. But sibling bonds die hard. Journalist Jennifer Salt sees Danielle — or was it Dominique? — murdering her date in the window across from hers; failing to convince the police, she and private eye Charles Durning begin their own investigation. De Palma makes distinctive use of split screens during several tense action scenes, enhanced by Bernard Herrmann’s pulsating score. DIR/ SCR Brian De Palma; SCR Louisa Rose; PROD Edward R. Pressman.

A crowning moment for all of the film’s then on-the-rise creative talents, including director Martin Scorsese, screenwriter Paul Schrader and star De Niro, the film also features the final score by the great Bernard Herrmann, who died just a day after recording it.

This adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s sci-fi novel was a passion project François Truffaut spent years developing, famously turning down an offer to direct BONNIE AND CLYDE because he wanted this film to be his English language debut. Set in a future society where the printed word and reading are forbidden, Oskar Werner is employed as a “fireman“ charged with bookburning. But when he encounters an underground organization known as the Bookmen — dedicated to preserving the great works, each member memorizing a book — his loyalties shift. Julie Christie stars in a dual role as both Werner’s complacent wife and a member of the underground. DIR/SCR François Truffaut; SCR Jean-Louis Richard, from the novel by Ray Bradbury; PROD Lewis M.

Already a sensation on stage with his Mercury Theatre and on the radio with THE SHADOW and his infamous THE WAR OF THE WORLDS broadcast, Orson Welles’ 1941 screen debut confirmed his genius and, ironically, sealed his fate — none of his other dozen or so feature films, as wonderful as they are, would equal KANE’s glory. The story of newspaper mogul Charles Foster Kane’s rise and fall is a marvel on every level, #1 on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies list and the perennial holder of the top spot on most lists of the greatest films of all time. “More fun than any great movie I can think of.“ –Pauline Kael.

Martin Scorsese’s 1991 remake of CAPE FEAR may have improved on some aspects of J. Lee Thompson’s 1962 original, but (with all due respect to Robert De Niro) not Robert Mitchum’s performance as the ex-con Max Cady. Mitchum uses his natural cool and subtle insolence to create a unique screen villain, one possessing a laid-back menace. His unhurried, I-don’t-givea-damn attitude makes him the perfect foil to upright — and uptight — Gregory Peck, the DA who sent him to jail. When Cady finally makes his move for revenge, it’s violent in the extreme, but until then he makes rooting for the bad guy fun. DIR J. Lee Thompson; SCR James R.

Tippi Hedren’s secretarial skills are exceeded only by her knack for safecracking; she’s pulled off a string of job-thenrob scams. But nothing could have prepared her for new boss Sean Connery — he catches her red-handed, and instead of handing her over to the cops, he asks for her hand in marriage! He finds a challenge in his new wife, whose compulsive criminality, sexual frigidity and phobias stem from a mysterious childhood incident, which Connery is determined to help her confront and resolve. A critical and box office disappointment upon release, the film’s reputation has improved over the years as new viewers discover and appreciate its complex psychology.

David Bowie Tribute 40th Anniversary!
THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH Sat, Feb 20, 9:00
In Nicolas Roeg’s quirky sci-fi allegory, space alien David Bowie arrives in America seeking resources to save his dying planet. Patenting and peddling his world’s advanced technology, he becomes a high-tech entrepreneur. But he’s driven to distraction by success, not to mention TV, sex and booze. “Science fiction drama, Western, love story, metaphysical mystery, satire of modern America…Roeg is more interested in showing how life on Earth is stranger and more disconcerting than anything in outer space…Bowie made his exquisite film debut in a role that chimed iconographically with his androgynous, futuristic pop persona of the early seventies.” –Graham Fuller. DIR Nicolas Roeg; SCR Paul Mayersberg, from the novel by Walter Tevis; PROD Michael Deeley, Barry Spikings. UK, 1976, color, 139 min. RATED R

ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS Planned for Apr 23, 9:15; not confirmed as of press time. See AFI.com/Silver for updates.
This landmark film from 1973 captures rock legend David Bowie’s final electrifying performance in his Ziggy Stardust persona at London’s Hammersmith Odeon Theater. Little did Bowie’s fans realize at the time that Ziggy Stardust would be one of many characters that the chameleon-like musician would assume over the course of his remarkable 50+ year career. The film pulses with the raw energy of early glam rock, with Bowie one of its founding pioneers. Performance include Bowie’s songs “Moonage Daydream,” “Changes” and “Space Oddity,” as well as a cover of the Velvet Underground’s “White Light/White Heat.” DIR D. A. Pennebaker; PROD Tony Defries. UK, 1973, color, 90 min. RATED PG
“Dance, magic dance!” Jim Henson’s visionary fairy tale, the last feature film he would direct, now enjoys a devoted cult following among viewers who grew up on it. Resentful of having to babysit her brother Toby, teenager Jennifer Connelly inadvertently casts him into the hands of Jareth the Goblin King, played with haughty relish by rock icon David Bowie. To rescue Toby before he is permanently transformed into a goblin, Connelly must navigate the many obstacles — and dangerous puppetry — of the Goblin King’s labyrinth.

Veggie ramen Yona, 4000 Wilson Blvd., Arlington; $14. BROTH: Shio vegetable broth with garlic, carrots, onions and
kombu. TOPPINGS: Snap peas, bean sprouts, pea shoots, royal trumpet mushrooms, nori.
Curry chicken ramen Gaijin Ramen Shop, 3800 Lee Hwy., Arlington; $11. BROTH: Chicken stock seasoned with curry powder and coconut milk. TOPPINGS: Barbecue chicken or fried chicken, scallions, fried garlic, sesame seeds.
The broths at Gaijin don’t rush at you with flavor. For that, you can thank the tiny restaurant’s commitment to slinging fromscratch Kyoto-style ramen without the umami hit of MSG. Owners Nicole Mazkour and Tuvan Pham use only hints of bonito flakes in their stocks, instead relying on the notes coaxed from kombu, roasted pork and chicken bones. In the case of the curry chicken ramen, a poultry stock simmers in a pot for six hours and morphs into a fragrant liquid spiked with coconut milk and Japanese and Vietnamese curry powder. Wavy, egg-free noodles, made in-house, snake throughout the brownish stock. Those accustomed to Sapporo-style ramen’s richness or Hakata-style ramen’s porkiness may be surprised by the bowl’s subtlety, but as Mazkour wisely points out, one Japanese definition of gaijin, which also means “foreigner,” is actually “different.” EMILY CODIK
When asked if veggie ramen is native to a particular part of Japan, chef Jonah Kim laughs. “They don’t accommodate for vegetarians in ramen, come on!” But this is the United States. His near-vegan dish (you can thank the egg noodles for blowing it) is built from the bottom up, starting with a pool of black garlic that’s been steeped in oil and pureed. “Think of it as extra umami,” Kim says. “The oil mimics pork or chicken fat.” On top of that he pours a vegetable broth and goes heavy on the soy milk to re-create the richness of pork broth. Among the toppings are roasted royal trumpet mushrooms. “They’re pretty meaty,” Kim says of the fungi. “They’re meant to be like chashu.” When the bowl arrives, mix it up to disperse the pool of black garlic at the bottom. Though there’s no way you’ll ever confuse the trumpet mushrooms for chashu, you’ll bet your left chopstick there’s meat in the broth. HOLLEY SIMMONS
Kimchi ramen
Don’t know your menma from your miso?
Toki Underground, 1234 H St. NE; $14.75. BROTH: Tonkotsu seasoned with kimchi puree and hot sauce.
Here’s a glossary of ingredients you’ll find throughout these bowls of ramen:
Kombu: Dried sea kelp, and a key component in dashi.
TOPPINGS: Pulled pork, pickled ginger, scallions, nori, a soft egg, kimchi.
Alkaline noodles: Springy, yellowhued noodles common to ramen.
Menma: Braised or fermented bamboo shoots.
Chashu: Pork belly, usually braised or roasted and served in slabs atop a bowl of ramen.
Miso: A ramen broth seasoned primarily with fermented soybean paste. One of the three primary types of ramen tare.
Before Toki Underground opened, owner Erik Bruner-Yang traveled around Asia sampling ramen. “I had a ton of ramen topped with kimchi,” especially in Japan and Taiwan, he says. Instead of using the traditional fermented Korean cabbage as a finishing accent, Bruner-Yang’s kimchi ramen “kicks it up a notch”: His kimchi infusion finds funky, sour kimchi as a puree in the broth, as a spicy hot sauce and again atop the assembled bowl. The sharp, fragrant kimchi pops out, even when it arrives in the same bite as mellow pulled pork, bitter greens or soft, curly noodles. “I don’t think Toki does anything balanced,” the chef says. “It’s not our style. Our version has always been aggressive.” FRITZ HAHN
Chintan: A broth made from meat and bones — often pork and chicken — that is skimmed of fat before serving, resulting in a clear appearance. Dashi: A stock or broth base that contains dried sea kelp (kombu) and dried fish. A signature flavor component of most ramen broths.
Mugi: Barley.
CONTINUED ON PAGE 26
Nori: Paperlike sheets of dried seaweed that add an earthy, mineral note to the broth. Shio: A ramen broth seasoned primarily with sea salt. One of the three primary types of ramen tare. Shoyu: A ramen broth seasoned primarily with soy sauce. One of the three primary types of ramen tare.
Naruto: Cured, steamed fish cakes. They often look like little white discs with a pink squiggle.
Tare: Ramen’s primary seasoning.
Nitamago: A soft-boiled egg marinated in oils and seasonings that can include soy sauce, sake, mirin and sesame oil.
Tsukemen: A style of ramen in which a dish of cold noodles is paired with a bowl of concentrated broth for dipping.
Tonkotsu: A rich, milky broth made with pork bones.

cheese.
Tsukemen is not traditional ramen. The noodles tend to be thicker, chewier and served cold on the side, rather than submerged in broth, to preserve their springiness. An accompanying bowl is filled not with a standard broth but with a scalding, concentrated “dipping sauce” that would be a sucker punch to the palate if slurped on its own. Use chopsticks to dip a mouthful of noodles into the sauce, creating this perfect yin-yang of hot and cold extremes, soupy and springy textures. That’s the theory at least. At Marumen, the theory becomes complicated when the special noodles, for instance, are served with a bowl of lukewarm spicy miso dipping sauce (below). Even if the blood orangecolored Godzilla sauce dips too low in temperature, its heat index soars. TIM CARMAN
Look closely at the ingredient list for Sakuramen’s DC Miso ramen (above) and you’ll spot the outlier: cheese. You won’t be surprised to learn that cheese on ramen is an American innovation, continuing our great nation’s proud tradition of putting it in places where it doesn’t belong (e.g., aerosol cans). The dish was popularized by American soldiers stationed in Asia, and Sakuramen put it on the menu as a tribute to veterans. Curly noodles swim in a broth of chicken stock and miso, with rafts of chashu and bamboo shoots, a pink swirl of naruto and a sail of nori. In the middle is a tidy mound of shredded Monterey Jack. Like all ramen ingredients, it is used with precision. It’s not a French onion soup-style blanketing of cheese — just enough to give it an added richness and tang. MAURA JUDKIS
EVENTS What if you could cross a few of the area’s best ramens off your list in one place and in one afternoon? Consider Ramen World 2. The sequel to last year’s inaugural event is scheduled for Feb. 28 at culinary incubator Mess Hall. Ramen royalty and event co-founder Erik Bruner-Yang (Toki Underground, Maketto) is participating. So is Daikaya chef and co-owner Katsuya Fukushima, who will be offering the very first taste of Bantam King, the chicken ramen and Japanese fried-chicken joint he and partners Yama Jewayni and Daisuke Utagawa plan to open this spring. Myo Htun of Chaplin’s and Jonah Kim and Mike Isabella of Yona will also be at Ramen World 2. While there’s bound to be plenty of ramen, expect other savory fare from PhoWheels (Vietnam), Purple Patch (Philippines) and Thip Khao (Laos). For dessert, there will be Burmese falooda (a shake-like concoction often featuring basil seeds, noodles and rose syrup) from the new Toli Moli and Taiwanese-style shave ice from Snocream Company. Tickets (available through Eventbrite) include unlimited food, beer and cocktails. VIP tickets for $105 include lessons with Daikaya’s Fukushima and True Syrups, which is helping with the day’s cocktails, and other goodies. BECKY KRYSTAL

METRO WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU
As Metro develops next year’s budget, we want your opinion. Next fiscal year’s budget that begins July 1 is comprised of both the operating budget and the capital budget which funds the purchase of new trains and buses, station upgrades and other important improvements. And while it doesn’t include a fare increase or service cuts, there are some proposed changes that you may want to comment on. For example, the proposal would ask Metro’s Board of Directors to consider the following changes: • • • •
Eliminating the ability to add value to a SmarTrip® card on Metrobus. Including a free bus pass with a rail pass. Creating a discounted student pass for participating universities. Providing a 15-minute grace period to exit for free from the station you entered.

“For the Record: The Art of Lily Spandorf,” this exhibition explores the artwork of Austrian-born watercolorist and journalist Lily Spandorf (1914-2000). Working with pen, ink, watercolor and gouache, Spandorf became known for the news illustrations she created for the Washington Star, the Christian Science Monitor and The Washington Post.

Guide to all things Oscars The good news for those trying to catch up on Oscar-nominated flicks: A little more than half are available for streaming online. The bad news: Nearly half aren’t. In all, you can watch 30 of the 57 nominated full-length movies and shorts. An additional two, including best-picture nominee “Brooklyn,” are due out before the Feb. 28 awards show. Here’s your viewing guide. ANICK JESDANUN (AP)
Best picture and directing
Acting categories
Screenplay nominees
“Mad Max: Fury Road” is the only best-picture nominee available through a subscription service, HBO Now. If you have a cable subscription with HBO, you can catch it on HBO Go. You can buy, but not rent, “Mad Max” through iTunes, Google Play or Amazon.
Except for “Mad Max,” the bestpicture nominees have contenders for one or more acting categories as well.
“Ex Machina” is available with an Amazon Prime subscription and for rent or purchase through most leading services.
None of the eight remaining movies with acting nominees are available through a subscription service.
“Spotlight” and “Room” are available only as a purchase for now, though iTunes says you can start renting them Tuesday. “Bridge of Spies” and “The Martian” are available to buy or rent. “Brooklyn” is coming Tuesday, though a rental option might not be available right away. For “The Big Short” and “The Revenant,” you still need to head to the theater. Although major services are taking advance orders, none say when they will become available.
“Creed” and “The Danish Girl” are available for purchase; iTunes says “The Danish Girl” can also be rented starting Tuesday. “Trumbo” is available to buy or rent — get the 2015 drama starring Bryan Cranston, not the 2007 documentary. “Steve Jobs” is also available to buy or rent through several leading services, including iTunes. “Carol” will be released online on March 4 — too late for your Oscar pools. You can advance-order “Joy” and “The Hateful Eight,” but there’s no firm release date listed. You’ll also need to find “45 Years” in theaters.
“Room” and “Spotlight” require a purchase, at least until next week, while “Bridges of Spies,” ‘’Inside Out,” ‘’Straight Outta Compton” and “The Martian” can be rented or bought (to rent “Inside Out,” go to Amazon). “Brooklyn” is coming next Tuesday. That means theatrical visits for “Carol” and “The Big Short.”
Foreign language “Theeb” is expected online Friday, at least for buying. Advance orders are being taken for the remaining four nominees, but there are no firm dates yet. All four have limited theatrical releases.
Full-length documentaries All five nominees are up online. “Amy” is available to Amazon Prime subscribers, while “Cartel Land,” ‘’What Happened, Miss Simone?” and “Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom” are available on Netflix. “Amy” and “Cartel Land” are also available for rent or purchase. The other two were produced by Netflix, so you won’t find them elsewhere. “The Look of Silence” is available to rent or buy through leading services.
The 15 shorts Netflix — and only Netflix — has “World of Tomorrow,” nominated for animated short, and “Chau, Beyond The Lines” and “Last Day of Freedom,” both nominated for documentary short. “Ave Maria,” nominated for live action short, is available for purchase on iTunes. The rest aren’t available online yet.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is suing a firm over its independent distribution of Oscars gift bags, Variety reported.

The swag bags contain items such as vapes, vibrators and $275 Swiss-made toilet paper. (EXPRESS)

entertainment MUSIC REVIEW Kanye West’s seventh solo album, “The Life of Pablo,” isn’t as instantly catchy or cohesive as his earlier work. But it’s consistently interesting and full of feeling, with off-kilter hip-hop soundscapes and lyrics that pivot suddenly from generous spirituality to crass insults. This 18-track collection feels impressively personal and warm, compared to the aggressively glitchy “Yeezus,” West’s prefatherhood primal scream of an album from three years ago. He repeatedly references his family
and reveals wryly humorous self-awareness. “I guess I get what I deserve, don’t I?” he laments about an absence of “Real Friends.” On “Feedback,” he acknowledges, “I’ve been out of my mind a long time.” Rhyming as a fan at the album’s halfway point, West raps, “I miss the old Kanye. ... I hate the new Kanye.” West’s calling card is smartly utilizing such unexpected samples, from Arthur Russell’s soulful murmurs on the sublime “30 Hours” to the album-opening snippet of a 4-year-old girl’s boisterous prayer, pulled from
GOOD MUSIC/DEF JAM RECORDINGS
On latest album, Kanye evolves again
With “The Life of Pablo,” Kanye West proves that he refuses to sell what’s already been sold.
an Instagram post. A bassline then gurgles abruptly under a soaring gospel choir and praisefilled contributions from Chance, Kelly Price and Kirk Franklin, while West declares, “This is a God dream.” That song, “Ultralight Beam,” sets a high bar that the rest of the album doesn’t quite reach. Still, “Pablo” finds our most provocative modern hip-hop star evolving yet again, flexing his nerdy crate-digging bona fides alongside tabloid-ready call-outs and relentless ambition.

“But will it be able to account for the inevitable flipping of the board when one player lands on another player’s Boardwalk hotel for the third time?” DENNIS DiCLAUDIO, at avclub.com, reacts to the newest incarnation of Monopoly. In Monopoly Ultimate Banking, the banking system has been automated. It uses personalized bank cards and a battery-operated ATM, which keeps track of everyone’s cash and property values. Not only does it remove the mental math and allow for curveballs like fluctuating rents, it also eliminates cheating.

DIANE GILLMORE ASHBAUGH,
a commenter at hightimes.com, has some fun with the news that actress/comedian Roseanne Barr is opening a marijuana dispensary in Santa Ana, Calif. The Orange County Register reported that Barr’s dispensary is one of 20 that won a city lottery last year, allowing it to operate. Roseanne’s Joint (get it?) will feature her unique pot strains and products, including a pot-laced, chocolate-covered macadamia nut grown on her Hawaiian farm.
“Westminster Dog Show dogs remind me of Dr Seuss’ drawings of dogs. Like I only know they’re dogs because someone is telling me they are.” @OHNOSHETWITNT comments on the various canines to grace the
stage at the 140th annual Westminster Dog Show, which was held Tuesday at New York’s Madison Square Garden. After the dogs, some of which looked suspiciously like shag rugs (see above) and others like a big ball of wrinkles, were paraded around, one was crowned the coveted Best in Show: C.J., a 3-year-old male German shorthaired pointer.

@ALEXSANTIAGO51 doesn’t understand why the company just released carrot cake-flavored Hershey’s Kisses. The chocolate supposedly tastes just like a carrot cake, with a light cream cheese-like filling in the center. Hershey’s said Tuesday that the flavor is available exclusively at Wal-Mart stores through the Easter season. Reviews, much like for actual carrot cake, have been mixed.
“Only Kanye could tweet ‘textbooks cost too much’ and have everybody nitpick his point.” @DEVINCF thinks Kanye West makes a valid point on the cost of college textbooks, despite the backlash the rapper has received. “Education puts Americans into debt before they even get a chance to get started,” he tweeted Tuesday. But instead of applauding his message, many people said the wealthy rapper, whose clothing line is notoriously pricey, shouldn’t be commenting on the struggle to pay for textbooks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may feel as though your creativity in a certain area has been dormant for a while — but all that is going to change. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You shouldn’t find it very difficult to put your best foot forward, whether in a social or purely professional situation. ARIES (March 21-April 19) A contest is likely to heat up between you and an unofficial rival. He or she certainly knows what buttons to push! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may not be working at peak efficiency, but you can still get everything done if you don’t mind a little sloppiness. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It may be more important to you to be on time rather than thorough, but both matter to the powers that be. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Someone who is watching over you may be critical of your approach. There’s no reason to make any changes just yet, however. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) An influx of stimuli may have you itching to remove yourself from a certain situation or location, but that escape may not yet be possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are feeling things quite deeply right now, and others know it — so take care that you don’t set yourself up to be wounded in any way.

38 | 27 TODAY: Building high pressure brings plenty of sun, but also a continued cool breeze from the northwest at 10-15 mph. Temperatures remain below average. Mostly clear evening skies may turn partly cloudy overnight. Meanwhile, with high pressure centered over the area, winds become light or calm.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Don’t
be tempted to break with tradition; doing what is asked of you in the way that others have done it before is your ticket to success. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pay close attention to the boundaries all around you, both physical and psychological. Gather details carefully. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Progress may have to be measured in very small increments, as you’re not able to move at the pace that you had anticipated.

Rock carved in forest, no one around to see it
She refused to sing after ‘Hamilton’ Though Rihanna blamed the last-minute cancellation of her Grammys performance on illness, sources say the singer had a meltdown that led to her walking off the set. TMZ cited sources “who were not connected but present for the show,” who said Rihanna was “loud” and “upset” during rehearsals before she eventually bailed. Her reps claimed she was forced to cancel her performance because she has bronchitis. (EXPRESS)
Authorities in Arizona are investigating whether Vanessa Hudgens carved a heart into red rock in a national park. Hudgens posted a photo of the carving, bearing the names Vanessa and Austin, for her boyfriend, Austin Butler, on Instagram on Sunday with the hashtag #sedonadreams but later removed it. A spokesman for the Coconino National Forest, which manages land around Sedona, said authorities are trying to locate a heart in the forest that matches the one posted by Hudgens. Damaging a natural feature on U.S. Forest Service land is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a maximum $5,000 fine. (AP)

While on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday, Gwen Stefani admitted that her new single, “Make Me Like You,” is about her new boyfriend, Blake Shelton. “I will admit that that song is about that guy,” she said. She added that her whole album “is about trying to take something that’s awful and healing from it,” referring to her divorce last year. (EXPRESS)

“I really feel alive. If I had to look back on my life, this is the moment that would play out.”
Kylie Jenner is collaborating with beauty brand Sinful Colors on her own line of nail polish. King Kylie SinfulShine colors, which will retail for $2.99 each, will include jewel tones with names like Koko-Nuts, Kafe Latte, True Kolor and Miss Majesty. “I love getting my nails done and nails in general,” Jenner told Women’s Wear Daily, which reported the news. “I wanted to do something innovative and accessible to my young fans.” (EXPRESS)
