‘Ashes to go’ — with sparkle RELIGION Smearing her thumb across 6-year-old Genevieve Dalton’s forehead, the Rev. Robin Anderson repeated the solemn words of Ash Wednesday: “From dust you came. To dust you shall return.” Then Genevieve whirled away from the pastor, her forehead twinkling. “I really like glitter,” she proclaimed. Genevieve, like thousands of other Christians nationwide, got her ashes on this Ash Wednesday with a side of sparkles. The Glitter Ash project, created by New York nonprofit Parity, encouraged clergy to mix glitter into the ashes this year, to represent the inclusion of LGBT people in Christian life. “People are responding with such joy that they can show their faith and show that they are LGBT,” said the Rev. Marian Edmonds-Allen, executive director of Parity. “LGBT people are people of faith, too. … On the day, Ash Wednesday, when Christians are publicly Christian, we are going to be publicly queer.”

Glitter in the ashes, Anderson wrote on a whiteboard, is “a symbol of the gritty, glittery, scandalous hope that exists within all of us.” She propped the board up in front of the Braddock Road Metro station entrance, and offered sparkly ash to a stream of morning commuters.

Metro entrance were looking only for ashes, not glitter. “I won’t have time to go to Mass today,” quite a few of them muttered. Christians of numerous denominations typically mark Ash Wednesday — the beginning of a 40-day period of repentance, known as Lent, that leads up to the celebration of Easter — by having a minister mark a cross on their foreheads with ash, a remembrance of mortality. The practice is most common among Catholics, but is observed in many Protestant denominations as well. Those who wanted just ashes, no glitter, at Braddock Road went to the Rev. Jeanette Leisk of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, who was doling out plain ashes. But over the course of the morning rush, more than a dozen people opted for the glitter ash. “This is to be affirming for those who are LGBT and allies,” Anderson explained to those who were interested. And for those in a hurry, she said simply, “These ashes have glitter in them.” “ T h at ’s fi ne ,” one m a n said, crossing himself after he got his glitter ash and then sprinting to catch a train.

7 officers indicted in racketeering cases

VIRGINIA

Supreme Court revives challenge by black voters

Accusations range from stealing while on duty to faking police reports

Blossoms could peak in two weeks PATRICK SEMANSKY (AP)

BALTIMORE Seven officers assigned to a guntracing task force stole money from victims they falsely detained, wrote fake police reports, lied to investigators and filed for overtime they didn’t work, according to a damning federal indictment that comes as the troubled Baltimore Police Department struggles with reforms. Federal prosecutors announced the indictment Wednesday in the city, where the police department entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Justice Department in the final days of the Obama administration, promising to stop abusive tactics and discriminatory practices that included unlawful stops of drivers and pedestrians. The officers were assigned to the Gun Trace Task Force, a squad formed to reduce violent crime by tracking and removing illegal guns from the streets. U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said the investigation began about a year ago, and that as a result, his office “quietly dropped” five federal cases brought by one or more of the officers. Rosenstein said Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby wasn’t notified about the investigation until charges

were filed. Rosenstein expects Mosby’s office to also review its cases involving the officers. He called the officers’ conduct “a pernicious conspiracy scheme that included abuse of power.” The officers charged with racketeering are detectives Momodu Gondo, Evodio Hendrix, Daniel Hersl, Wayne Jenkins, Jemell Rayam, Marcus Taylor and Maurice Ward. Gondo also is charged with participating in a drug conspiracy. The indictment reads more like a Hollywood movie script than a routine charging document, as the feds followed what they described as a squad of renegade officers committing brazen robberies of innocent residents. “These officers are 1930sstyle gangsters,” said Police

Commissioner Kevin Davis. In one instance, three of the officers stopped a man on the street, searched his car without a warrant, took him home and stole $1,500 he had earned working as a maintenance supervisor at a nursing home. Rayam then allegedly wrote a false incident report, not mentioning the stolen money, and Jenkins approved it. In another alleged instance, four of the officers arrested a man during a traffic stop and confiscated drugs and $21,500, but turned only $15,000 over as evidence. Then they went to the man’s home and stole $200,000 from a safe deposit box. “This is not about aggressive policing, it is about criminal conspiracy,” Rosenstein said. JULIET LINDERMAN (AP)

A mild winter could mean the earliest bloom on record for D.C.’s famous cherry trees, officials said Wednesday. National Mall and Memorial Parks Superintendent Gay Vietzke said the peak bloom is expected between March 14 and March 17. The National Park Service says the earliest recorded peak bloom for the trees is March 15. Peak bloom is defined as the day when 70 percent of the Yoshino cherry trees around the Tidal Basin are blossoming. Once peak bloom is reached, the blossoms can remain on the trees from four to 10 days. Vietzke said the bloom is “very early” but not unheard of. “Spring is springing. Flowering trees are starting to do their thing,” he said. (AP)

Hogan raises drug response $50M more committed in state to fight opioid ‘state of emergency’

Only in

nation + world

XX1232_2x.5

MARYLAND Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on Wednesday escalated his administration’s response to the opioid-addiction crisis, declaring a “state of emergency” and committing an additional $50 million over the next five years to beef up enforcement, prevention and treatment services. The Republican governor signed an executive order calling

for the state of emergency, an instrument used by many jurisdictions to coordinate anti-opioid Hogan and heroin strategies. The action fulfills a campaign promise he made in 2014, but temporarily shelved after taking office in favor of other legislative and executive initiatives. Hogan, who lost a cousin to addiction years ago, said the declaration underscores what he described as “an all-hands-on deck approach” to growing rates

of heroin, opioid and fentanyl use. “The reality is that this threat is rapidly escalating,” Hogan said, appearing with Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford and a large contingent of state officials. Heroin and fentanyl, the powerful synthetic opioid, killed 1,468 Maryland residents in the first nine months of 2016, up 62 percent from the same period in 2015, according to state data. Many of those who overdosed initially abused prescription painkillers and other opioids. The trends are part of a nationwide epidemic. BILL TURQUE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Scientists say these tubular structures could be remnants of the earliest life on Earth.

‘Microfossils’ may be new sign of earliest life Specimens uncovered in Canada are said to be at least 3.77B years old SCIENCE Tiny, tubular structures uncovered in ancient rocks in northeastern Canada could be remnants of some of the earliest life on Earth. The straw-shaped “microfossils,” narrower than the width of a human hair and invisible to the naked eye, are believed to come from ancient microbes, according to a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Scientists debate the age of the specimens, but the authors’ youngest estimate — 3.77 billion years — would make these fossils the oldest ever found.

The oldest universally accepted evidence of life on Earth is dated to 3.4 billion to 3.5 billion years ago. Claims of ancient fossils are always contentious. Rocks as old as the ones in the new study rarely survive the weathering, erosion, subduction and deformation of our geologically active Earth. Any signs of life in the rocks that do survive are difficult to distinguish, let alone prove. Other researchers in the field expressed skepticism about whether the structures were really fossils, and whether the rocks that contain them are as old as the study authors say. But the scientists behind the new finding believe their analysis should withstand scrutiny. In addition to structures that look like

fossil microbes, the rocks contain a cocktail of chemical compounds they say is almost certainly the result of biological processes. If their results are confirmed, they will boost a belief that organisms arose very early in the history of Earth — and may find it just as easy to evolve on worlds beyond our own. “The process to kick-start life may not need a significant length of time or special chemistry, but could actually be a relatively simple process to get started,” said Matthew Dodd, a biogeochemist at University College London and the lead author of the paper. “It has big implications for whether life is abundant or not in the universe.”

Aid in danger amid famine Trump threatens to cut foreign aid funds while four nations near crisis POLITICS President Trump has proposed large cuts to foreign aid at a time of acute need across Africa and the Middle East, with four countries approaching famine and 20 million nearing starvation, according to the United Nations. It is the first time in recent memory that so many large-scale hunger crises have occurred simultaneously. The U.N. has

requested $4.4 billion this month to “avert a catastrophe,” Secretary General Antonio Guterres said last week. It has received only a fraction of that request. The famines or near-famines in parts of Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria and Yemen underscore the reliance on U.S. assistance. In 2016, the United States contributed about 28 percent of the foreign aid in those four countries, according to the U.N. “Nobody can replace the U.S. in terms of funding,” said Yves Daccord, director general of the International Committee of the

Red Cross, who said of the current crises: “I don’t remember ever seeing such a mix of conflict, drought and extreme hunger.” The details of Trump’s budget proposal have not been released, but early reports said Trump planned to propose 37 percent cuts to the budgets of the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development. Large cuts to foreign assistance will face stiff opposition from Congress. Foreign aid is typically around 1 percent of the government’s budget.

Oprah for president? The media mogul didn’t shoot down the possibility of a 2020 run when David Rubenstein asked her about it recently on Bloomberg TV. Winfrey responded that she had never considered it “even a possibility,” thinking she didn’t have enough experience or know enough, but that recent events — presumably the election of reality TV star Donald Trump — changed her perspective. “And now I’m thinking, ‘Oh …,’ “ she said.

Trump’s toned-down approach plays well after earlier stumbles with his messaging

White House proposal would slash EPA staff

JIM LO SCALZO (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS Playing the role of president is a crucial skill that doesn’t always come easily to Oval Office occupants. The theater of the presidency can’t fully mask policy fumbles or awkward disputes, but it can shape the way in which a commander in chief is perceived by the public and can help keep anxious political allies in line. That was particularly evident Tuesday night, when President Trump delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress. The new president stepped into the House chamber with historically low public approval ratings after a turbulent start to his administration. Some Republicans are growing weary of his refusal to stop hurling personal insults and his seeming unwillingness to focus on the GOP’s domestic policy agenda. Trump responded by embracing both the traditional pomp and decorum of a presidential address. He delivered a restrained and largely optimistic speech, rarely veering off script. In an emotional high point, he singled out the widow of a fallen Navy SEAL who was sitting in the guest box and joined lawmakers in sustained applause for her husband’s sacrifice. Republicans swooned. “You saw an outsider last night sort of hit his stride,” declared Sen. David Perdue of Georgia. To the president’s critics, it was a frustrating reminder that Trump is often judged by a different standard and praised for stylistic shifts that rarely stick. “For all the past talk of pivots that never happened, the reality

President Trump stuck to the script during his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.

is he’s going to benefit like last night from the trappings of the presidency,” said Brian Fallon, a former top communications aide to Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The White House moved swiftly Wednesday to keep a good moment going. Plans to follow Trump’s speech with the signing of a revamped, yet still controversial, executive order for a travel ban were delayed, so the administration avoided trampling on the highlight reel on cable television of Trump’s speech. Press secretary Sean Spicer’s daily briefing, which has become a must-watch television event, was switched to an off-camera gaggle. One of the surprising paradoxes of Trump’s stunning political rise is that the former reality television star hasn’t always succeeded on the biggest stages. He promised a high-wattage show at the Republican National Convention, but it was often disjointed and lacked star power. Trump gave uneven performances in

Dueling influences The voices of a few of President Trump’s top aides could be heard in his Tuesday speech, especially those of chief strategist Stephen Bannon and Ivanka Trump.

his three debates against Clinton and stepped on his own inaugural message by complaining that the crowd size wasn’t being accurately covered. In an interview with Fox News before Tuesday night’s address, Trump gave himself a grade of “C’’ or “C+” for his messaging

— while awarding himself an “A’’ for his achievements so far. The White House has tried to cast Trump as a president in perpetual motion, filling his days with back-to-back meetings and showcasing relatively minor bill signings and executive actions. The steady, camera-friendly imagery of Trump signing executive actions calls to mind some of the same tactics used by past New York City mayors such as Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani, who were a constant presence on local television in the city. Like boardroom scenes in “The Apprentice,” the photo ops put Trump in a favorable light, showing him as an alpha male in command. “He’s playing who he is, being the guy who is calling the CEOs together or the insurance executives together,” said Curt Anderson, a GOP strategist who advises Florida Gov.

The plan to slash the EPA’s staff from its current level of 15,000 to 12,000 is one of several changes for which the new administration has asked agency staff for comment. Multiple individuals briefed on the plan confirmed the request. The proposal also dictates cutting the agency’s grants to states, including its air and water programs, by 30 percent, and eliminating 38 separate programs in their entirety. Those programs include grants to clean up brownfields, environmental justice programs, climate-change initiatives and funding for Alaskan native villages. The agency’s research office could also face a cutback of up to 42 percent. Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, said he did not think Congress would approve such steep funding cuts. “There’s not that much in the EPA, for crying out loud,” he said. Nonetheless, the instructions serve as a blueprint for how the administration plans to delegate responsibilities to states, even as it cuts the money they will receive from the federal government.

SYRIA A Russian airstrike in northern Syria hit U.S.-backed Syrian Arab forces who are part of the fight against the Islamic State, a U.S. general said Wednesday. Russia denied responsibility, saying in a statement that it had adhered to U.S. guidance on avoiding friendly forces in that area. A r my Lt. G en .

advisers were a few miles away from the bombed site, out of immediate danger but close enough to see their Syrian partners get hit. He declined to say how many of the U.S.-backed Syrian fighters were killed or wounded. Townsend said the Americans sent word that quickly reached Russian officials, who acknowledged the problem and stopped the bombing. Townsend said he believes the Russians thought they were striking ISIS positions. But ISIS fighters had withdrawn before the bombing,

and members of the Syrian Arab Coalition had moved in, he said. In Moscow, the Russian Ministry of Defense issued a statement contradicting Townsend’s version of the events. It said that in communications prior to the airstrike, a U.S. officer had expressed concern about the possibility of U.S.-backed Syrian fighters being struck inadvertently. The incident happened southeast of the city of al-Bab, which Townsend said has been fully “liberated” by Turkish forces. ROBERT BURNS (AP)

THREE POINTERS

Brutal March will threaten Wizards’ run NBA As the Wizards have climbed out of the early-season hole they created for themselves, they’ve had to repeatedly prove they’re for real. A gigantic test came Tuesday night, when the Warriors arrived at Verizon Center. Golden State’s Kevin Durant returned to his hometown and faced a Washington team he declined to even give an audience during free agency last summer. Make no mistake: Durant leaving with a sprained left knee 93 seconds into play did nothing to diminish the biggest win of Washington’s season thus far, a 112-108 victory in front of a rare sellout crowd. The victory pushed the Wizards to 29-12 since Dec. 1 — the best record in the East and fourthbest in the NBA in that span.

During that time, they were one of three teams, including Golden State and San Antonio, that ranked in the top 10 in offensive and defensive efficiency according to ESPN’s metric. Tuesday’s win was a thrilling capper to a brilliant three-month stretch of basketball, one in which the Wizards played at a 58-win pace — a total the franchise has reached just once in its 56 years of existence. But things get tougher for the Wizards this month, which features 18 games — nine against playoff teams. The schedule also includes 12 games on the road, and six of those on the second half of a back-to-back. It’s an unforgiving 31 days, beginning with a Wednesday game at Toronto that ended after Express’ deadline. The month will send the Wizards down one of two paths. If they become a battle-hardened team and secure home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs, they’ll have the

course, they’ll scramble to avoid losing home court by falling out of the top four in the East. A daunting slate includes a five-game West Coast trip, followed by a shorter one later on. There are road games against the Warriors, Cavs, Clippers and Celtics. The Wizards beat three of those teams at home — and would have beaten Cleveland if not for a 3-pointer from LeBron James that forced overtime — but they have to prove they can win on the road. For the past three months, the Wizards proved they’re for real. To make the most of their run, They need to do it in March. TIM BONTEMPS

MESSING WITH TRADITION

Jay Gruden, right, believes Washington will work out a deal with Kirk Cousins before July 15.

TONI L. SANDYS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Rule changes make golf less complicated

Gruden: Long-term deal with Cousins will come Redskins coach says team has to do better in contract negotiation NFL After placing the exclusive franchise tag on Kirk Cousins on Tuesday, the Redskins for the second year in a row face the challenge of signing the quarterback to a long-term deal. On Wednesday at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, coach Jay Gruden expressed his confidence in the front office to accomplish that goal. While he declined to discuss the reason Washington opted for the exclusive franchise tag — which restricts Cousins from negotiating

with any other team — rather than the non-exclusive franchise tag, Gruden said he believes Cousins is still the long-term solution for Washington. “To have a guy here that’s been developing in the system here for the last two years, we take very seriously,” Gruden said. “We see his progress. We see the progress that he’s gonna make. We’re excited about that..” Under the exclusive franchise tag, Cousins will receive about $24 million this season, but the Redskins have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal with a better salary cap number. The NFL Players Association announced that the salary cap has been set at $167 million.

According to Spotrac, if the franchise tag remains, that gives the Redskins about $40 million in cap space. The question now remains whether Washington will be able to get a deal done before July’s deadline or opt to have Cousins play under on the franchise tag or trade him. “We can offer him the world, and if he doesn’t want to sign it, he doesn’t have to sign it,” Gruden said. “And then we have to do maybe a better job, so I think it’ll happen. I really do. We’ll wait and see. I’m going to coach the players that are here, and I fully anticipate Kirk being the quarterback.” MASTER TESFATSION

Golf’s two governing bodies released a draft of modern rules on Wednesday aimed at simplifying a complicated sport. The Royal & Ancient Golf Club and the U.S. Golf Association spent more than five years working on a the first comprehensive overhaul of the Rules of Golf since the first set was published in 1744. The proposal would be finalized in 2018 and effective in 2019. It reduces the number of rules from 34 to 24, and many penalties, including a one-shot deduction for accidental ball movement, have been rescinded. Irish pro Rory McIlroy likes the changes. “I think golf’s emphasis on the rules can sometimes turn people away from it,” he said. (AP)

Jarome Iginla and Thomas Vanek went from the bottom of the standings to playoff contention after being two of the most notable players dealt at the NHL trade deadline Wednesday. Iginla, a 20-year veteran, was dealt to the Kings by the league-worst Avalanche. On Wednesday the Kings were ninth in the West with 66 points, just one behind St. Louis, which holds the conference’s second and final wild-card playoff spot. The struggling Red Wings dealt Vanek, an 11-time 20-goal-scorer, to the Panthers, who have surged into contention in the East. With 68 points, Florida was tied for ninth with the Islanders, and one behind Toronto, which holds the conference’s second wild-card berth. The Penguins bolstered their injury-ravaged defense by acquiring Mark Streit and Frankie Corrado in deals with Tampa Bay and Toronto. (AP) NBA

The man who hasn’t fallen back to Earth

record “Beyond Now” until April of last year. The result, released in October, plays as both an extension of “Blackstar,” which won five Grammys last month, and an homage. McCaslin’s originals — like “Shake Loose,” “Glory” and the title track — pick up where “Blackstar” left off, with McCaslin’s shrieking sax leading hard-charging, often obtuse compositions that blur the line between jazz, rock and electronica. After Bowie died, McCaslin decided to add two Bowie covers to the mix: 1977’s “Warzsawa” and 1995’s “A Small Plot of Land.” McCaslin also often plays an instrumental version of “Blackstar’s” “Lazarus” in concert, extending the haunting song with improvisation. Still, he doesn’t view the album, which also features leftfield covers of Deadmau5’s “Coelacanth 1” and Mutemath’s “Remain,” as a tribute to Bowie. “That doesn’t feel like the right word to me,” he says. “It felt more like this is inspired by him. This is dedicated to him and all the people who love him.”

Recording with Bowie Beyond ‘Blackstar’ Donny McCaslin plays Blues left a mark on jazz sax When Alley on Monday, he’ll be missing player Donny McCaslin two of his “Blackstar” bandmates. MUSIC Donny McCaslin couldn’t fight it. The ghost of David Bowie lingers over nearly every aspect of the jazz saxophonist’s latest album, “Beyond Now.” “I was thinking a lot about David when we were recording,” McCaslin says. “He was so fearless as an artist and not afraid to reinvent himself and keep pushing musical boundaries, and that’s something I’ve thought about a lot. I wanted to make sure we went all the way with it.” That’s what happens when you work with Bowie on what would become the pop icon’s final album. In early 2015, McCaslin and the rest of his quartet — pianist Jason Lindner, bassist Tim Lefebvre and drummer Mark Guiliana — backed Bowie on “Blackstar.” In July 2015, a few months after finishing the record, McCaslin began writing original music for his “Beyond Now.” Two days after “Blackstar” was released in January 2016, Bowie died. “Making ‘Blackstar’ was a

SAT 11 DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE

“Tell Me Something I Don’t Know” host Stephen J. Dubner and his expert panelists love to be wowed by unexpected bits of trivia.

STAGE There’s a great way to get to know someone new, Stephen J. Dubner says, after the standard “So what do you do?” question. “You say, ‘That’s interesting. Tell me something I don’t know … about being a porn producer, or an animation artist or a student in Singapore,’ ” suggests Dubner, the journalist best known for his “Freakonomics” empire. “There’s something about the nature of that question that just makes people respond with generosity.” And that’s exactly what Dubner does with his show “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know,” which he records live at theaters and makes available as podcasts. The series, which he’ll bring to Sixth and I on Monday and Tuesday for the series’ first shows in D.C., launched in November and began its second season last month. “I would call it live journalism disguised as a game show,” Dubner says. “It could be a callin show, it could be done much less extravagantly than we do it, but it’s really fun and feels

like a party.” Here’s how it works: Three guest panelists listen as preselected contestants in the audience each try to wow them with a fact that needs to be truly surprising, worth knowing and “demonstrably true,” Dubner says, meaning verifiable by a fact-checker. At the end of the night, panelists will choose a winner, and everyone goes home a little smarter. As the host, Dubner says he’s learned a lot. He shared some of his favorite facts from the show.

Who’s playing?

Cows cannot be tipped.

cows’ preferences — where they want to spend their time — that was done by putting increasing amounts of weight on a door and seeing how much the bovine wanted access to certain places. “Turns out cows really prefer to be out at night and have a social life and sleep outdoors,” which allows them extra space and choice about whom to lie next to, Dubner says. Cows with free choice produce more milk than those forced to slumber indoors,

Zero cattle are injured or killed in the U.S. each year because they were tipped. It’s “almost impossible to do for a variety of reasons, including that cows are really big, really hard to sneak up on and don’t sleep standing up,” says Dubner, who grew up on a small farm in upstate New York.

… and they like the nightlife. One contestant, an animal welfare scientist, shared research on

Librarian of Congress Carla D. Hayden, comedian Rahmein Mostafavi and economics writer Tim Harford will be the panelists for Monday’s “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know” show in D.C., which has the theme of “Wannabes.” At Tuesday’s show, The Washington Post’s Alexandra Petri, former Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook and CBS reporter Major Garrett will be on hand when the theme is “Power and Politics.” (EXPRESS)

which is the norm.

If you need to survive without food, there’s a beer that could keep you alive. Doppelbocks, created in 1634 to sustain German monks during their 46-day Lenten fasts, are rich, malty and packed with carbs, calories and vitamins.

Hands are often conspicuously missing from Renaissance paintings. Turns out they’re the most challenging part of the body to draw or paint, so artists used to charge a separate fee for each hand they painted. If one (or both) is placed behind a bowl of fruit or plunged into a robe, whoever commissioned the painting may not have wanted to spring for the higher cost. “I love that,” Dubner says. “Every museum I’ve gone to since, that’s the first thing I look for.” ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Sixth and I, 600 I St. NW; Mon., 7:30 p.m., sold out, Tue., 7:30 p.m., $22.50-$27.50.

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

What do John Lennon, Ayn Rand and Franklin Delano Roosevelt have in common? They all were stamp collectors. And if that fact doesn’t convince you that stamp collecting is a relaxing, fun activity, an exhibit on famous philatelists at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum probably won’t either. Consider this characteristically lighthearted quote from Rand, tattooed on one of the museum’s walls: “Stamp collecting is a hobby for busy, purposeful, ambitious people … because, in pattern, it has the essential elements of a career, but transposed.” Surprisingly, I found lots of busy, purposeful tourists inside the museum on a recent visit, but few staff members or volunteers. That’s in sharp contrast to the Air and Space Museum, where docents are always giving talks in front of major artifacts. If a moon lander needs a hype man to get people interested, stamps don’t have a chance without one. In fact, I watched several families walk right past the world’s most famous stamps without stopping to look at them. Since there were no docents around, I appointed myself.

“Check this out,” I said to a family of three who were about to miss seeing the 1856 British Guiana One-Cent Magenta, the most valuable stamp in the world. “This ugly little stamp is worth $9.5 million!” “Ooooh,” the family murmured. They weren’t just being polite — I know because one of the kids tried to pose for a selfie with the stamp. I moved on to the next room, home to a temporary exhibit called “Trailblazing: 100 Years of Our National Parks.” The very first sign in the exhibit piqued my interest. It says, “Did you know that a village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon eats most of its mail?” No, I did not, and now I’m a little concerned. Are they trapped down there? Do they read their mail before they eat it? Or has their town been overtaken by goats? I spent the next 20 minutes reading every scrap of wall text in the exhibit and couldn’t find the answer. I was also wondering about the connection between the National Park Service and the U.S. Postal Service. That answer was easier to find: People mail things to national parks, including things they stole from the parks and later felt guilty about. On display are some of those objects,

The mail gaze: Let’s address the Postal Museum …

Postal Museum pro tip | Don’t accidentally pass by the world’s most valuable stamps. including rocks of various sizes, a sign and one very large pinecone. Also on display, for no apparent reason: the cross section of a large tree. “This tree was very large” is the general message conveyed by that display. (If you’re wondering whether the tree slice is among the things people absconded with and later returned by U.S. mail, don’t be silly. Everyone knows that contrite timber thieves prefer UPS.) I headed down a steep escalator to the museum’s other floor and found a sunlit atrium where I had expected to find a dank basement. Several airmail planes hang from

the ceiling, the kind of early 20th-century aircraft that seem to be made of parchment paper and bound together with leather shoelaces. Apparently, they are just as dangerous as they look. A display, labeled “Suicide Club,” explains, “Of over 200 pilots hired between 1918 and 1926, 34 died flying the mail,” and then adds, “With such odds against them, it is remarkable that more pilots did not die in the service.” That sign struck me as sort of self-congratulatory. Good job on the occupational safety, early-20th-century postal service! Also on display is a Mailster, a three-wheeled car that the postal service used in the 1950s and ’60s, despite many obvious design flaws. For instance, these oversized scooters topped out at 35 mph and tended to topple over when taking sharp turns. Even overenthusiastic dogs (which

is to say, most dogs) could spell trouble for these tipsy golf carts. If I had to choose between driving a Mailster or flying those flimsy old airplanes, I’d go with the airplanes. I might not make it to the end of my route alive, but at least I’d have my dignity. I ended my visit with an exhibit about the U.S. Postal Service’s present-day challenges, specifically the fact that mail volume (and therefore, revenue) is decreasing while the number of places where it’s legally required to deliver mail is on the rise. Looking to the future, a final display table asks for money-saving ideas, and one came to me immediately: Stop delivering mail to the goats at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. They can use email like the rest of us. Next, The Staycationer visits the Anacostia Community Museum.

weekendpass DIXIE D. VEREEN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Let’s get mild

When all you want is some peace and quiet (and a drink), get comfy at these tame bars

Left Door keeps the atmosphere cozy — not crammed — by never allowing in more patrons than there are seats.

Sometimes you go to a bar expecting a raucous night that will end with dancing on the table. And then there are times you just want comfy seats without Drake drowning out your conversation. Fortunately, there are a few drink dens where you can make yourself comfortable and catch up with an old friend or get to know your date. At these D.C. bars, conversation and cocktails make a good mix. LAVANYA RAMANATHAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Barmini, 501 Ninth St. NW

You have to make a reservation to imbibe at Jose Andres’ cocktail lab, and the result is that you’ll often find yourself seated next to only a handful of fellow cocktail geeks. This is the place to marvel over creations that change color or arrive at your table bubbling with a smoky hibiscus “cloud,” to talk with the bartenders, to chat up your date or to entertain a business partner for a night. But it feels like a luxury in part because there’s no fighting here for the bartender’s attention. And when your bill arrives in a pill-shaped check presenter (it’s a “bitter pill,” get it?), it never really feels that hard to swallow.

You want: Just one Friday night without fighting to get to the bar Left Door, 1345 S St. NW

How does a bar in the District remain blissfully pleasant even

on weekend nights? The ethos at Left Door is simple, owner Tom Brown says: “There should be no more people in the bar than there are seats.” So, before you can belly up to this marble bar top for a brandy- or scotch-laced cocktail, surrounded by vintage wood and dim lighting, you might have to leave your number with the door guy. In most instances, you’ll be inside in under an hour, and the wait won’t matter much once you can see yourself staying for two or three hours more.

You want: A classy hideaway, preferably with a fireplace Le Bar a Vin, 1035 31st St. NW

Tucked next to sister restaurant Chez Billy Sud on a relatively quiet Georgetown street, Le Bar a Vin feels as if someone intentionally hid it where the party-seeking college set would look right past. Particularly on weekdays, a mature crowd of neighborhood residents

the crowds are sparse, and you can order drinks from the same menu offered indoors while relaxing on the wooded, enclosed deck under newly installed heaters. The garden differs from the Tasting Room and Spirits Library in that no music is piped in; plus, because the Columbia Room is on Blagden Alley, even the outdoor space feels just far away enough from the world to make it an ideal escape.

The Columbia Room’s Punch Garden is a quiet escape on Blagden Alley.

mingles against a French-inspired backdrop of flocked wallpaper, a fireplace and cozy nooks. Even on Friday nights the vibe can be subdued, but for a true respite from the noisy scene, executive chef Brendan L’Etoile recommends booking your just-drinks date here on a Sunday night, when this winefocused bar is at peak calm.

Petworth, it can be easy to miss, but that’s what makes it ideal for a first date, particularly on weeknights: It’s bustling without being loud and attractive without being pretentious. And happy hour, with $5 punch and $5 oldfashioneds until 8 p.m. Tuesdays to Fridays, makes it easy to pick up the check.

You want: A hole-in-the-wall spot for a first date

You want: A glass of wine and the Wi-Fi password Colony Club, 3118 Georgia Ave. NW

Georgia Avenue has a healthy collection of raucous bars. Then there’s Colony Club, where it’s hard to know whether the word “bar” even applies. Is it a stylish co-working space? A coffee shop? A bohemian, neighborhood-centric place to catch the occasional jazz show from local musicians? Whatever it is, the creative types seated at the midcentury-modern furniture who are hard at work on laptops, even in the evenings, seem to encourage other patrons to use their inside voice, and the very tight selection of craft beers, cocktails and glasses of wine keeps things civilized. An early last call — midnight on weekends — certainly helps.

Placed in a foster home, Zucchini struggles at first but eventually realizes that sometimes loss is the price we pay for loving.

Capital Irish Film Festival

When you get a chance to see Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart together, you take it — whether it’s an X-Men movie or a play in the West End. The problem is, airfare to London is a lot more expensive than a movie ticket. Luckily, a 2016 performance by the duo in a production of Harold Pinter’s “No Man’s Land” at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre was recorded so you can enjoy it right here. The play, about two aging writers who get drunker as the night goes on, will be followed by a recorded Q&A with the cast and director. Landmark

It’s not quite St. Patrick’s Day, but sometimes it’s nice to pay attention to the parts of Irish culture we didn’t totally make up as an excuse to drink more beer than is intelligent. The Capital Irish Film Festival kicks off Thursday with “Born and Reared,” a documentary that follows four men from different generations and their relationships to the conflict that ripped through Northern Ireland for years. The festival runs through Sunday and includes a range of films as well as Q&As with writers, producers and actors. AFI

STAGE

U Street Music Hall, 1115 U St. NW; Sun., 7 p.m., sold out.

‘Intelligence’

Singer-songwriter and bass guitarist Thundercat (real name: Stephen Bruner) comes from a musical family: His father is a jazz drummer who’s performed alongside such acts as the Temptations and Diana Ross, and his brother is a Grammy-winning drummer. In 2015, the jazz fusion artist contributed to Kendrick Lamar’s critically acclaimed album “To Pimp a Butterfly” and released the EP “The Beyond / Where the Giants Roam.” His adventurous new album, “Drunk,” which features Lamar, Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins, among many others, dropped last week.

Arena Stage takes on the Valerie Plame affair in this world-premiere play by Jacqueline E. Lawton. Billed as “historical fiction” but inspired by actual events, “Intelligence” explores what happens when a covert operative’s identity is deliberately blown by her government. The play, which opened last week, features Hannah Yelland as Plame and Lawrence Redmond as Plame’s husband, Joseph Wilson. Arena Stage, 1101 Sixth St. SW; through April 9, $90-$110.

Fri. COMEDY

Patton Oswalt You probably missed Patton Oswalt’s last visit to D.C.: a surprise stand-up set on New Year’s Day at Wonderland Ballroom. He’s won a Grammy award since then, for his album “Talking for Clapping.” He’s also been going after President Trump whenever he’s given a mic or smartphone. This weekend, the Northern Virginia native stages two proper shows in the belly of the beast. Warner Theatre, 513 13th St. NW; Fri., 8 & 10:30 p.m., $37.50-$57.50. COMEDY

Jak Knight Los Angeles-based comic Jak Knight isn’t a household name, but he’s on his way to becoming one, and the DC Improv wants you to get to know him with four intimate shows in the venue’s lounge. Knight, who wrote for FXX’s “Lucas Bros. Moving Co.,” has both a stand-up special and an animated comedy show in the works at Netflix. As a bonus, Virginia comic Chris Alan, who had the honor of opening for Louis C.K. at the Big Hunt last month, is also on the bill. DC Improv, 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW; Fri. & Sat., 7:30 & 9:45 p.m., $17.

Sat. MUSIC

Kronos Quartet Its quest to expand the stringquartet repertoire has taken Kronos Quartet down many paths. The 44-year-old San Francisco ensemble has recorded albums dedicated to particular genres, composers or regions. (The group’s biggest crossover success was 1992’s “Pieces of Africa.”) But this weekend’s concert at Sixth and I is more of a greatest-hits

affair. Works range from a world premiere of a new composition to an arrangement of “Strange Fruit,” the protest song most hauntingly sung by Billie Holiday, to music by composers from Mexico, Poland, Turkey and Azerbaijan. Sixth and I, 600 I St. NW; Sat., 8 p.m., $40.

Shear Madness

Show Boat Folger Theatre presents

As You Like It Directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch

Must Close Sunday!

This wildly popular interactive comedy whodunit keeps the audiences laughing as they try to outwit the suspects and catch the killer. New clues and up to the minute improvisation deliver “shrieks of laughter night after night.” (Washington Post) Hammerstein & Kern’s classic hit, featuring show stopping songs like ‘Old Man River’ and ‘Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man’. The Forest of Arden comes to life in Shakespeare’s seductive comedy. Banished from court, Rosalind flees to the Forest, where she discovers Orlando and a world of passion and possibility.

Baldwin will pen a satirical Trump book

Nintendo’s Switch wants the best of both worlds The console stakes a claim in both the home and portable markets VIDEO GAMES Nintendo’s new Switch console tries to address that need to play your video games both at home and on the go by letting you play it anywhere. All the user has to do is yank the Switch out of its docking station so it then functions as a tablet with a built-in display. And once you’re back home, just slide it back into the docking station to play games on a big-screen TV. When switching between stationary and portable usage, it picks games up where the user left off.

But the big question, as it so often is with Nintendo, is whether it will be able to deliver enough games. When the console starts selling Friday, for $300, the Switch will have 12 titles, leaning toward familiar franchises such as “Just Dance” and “Skylanders.” By contrast, Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One had about 20 games each at launch. Nintendo says more than 80 games are in development. The console comes with two controllers, known as Joy-Cons. On the go, you can turn the tablet into a handheld game machine by attaching Joy-Cons to each side. Or just prop the tablet on a table with a built-in kickstand and use them as wireless

controllers, just as you would at home. The Joy-Cons are surprisingly comfortable given that they are small, about the size of a candy bar. The tablet, with the Joy-Cons attached, is about as wide as a standard iPad held horizontally. As for internal storage, the console has a puny 32 gigabytes, so you’ll need to buy a memory card if you intend to download plenty of games. Ultimately, the Switch hardware is very impressive, and the ability to easily take a game from the living room to the laundromat scratches an itch you never knew you had. But in bridging two worlds, it sacrifices important pieces of both. LOU KESTEN (AP)

Alec Baldwin, who has the role of “Saturday Night Live’s” chief Donald Trump impersonator, is teaming with novelist and radio host Kurt Andersen on a satirical book about Trump, “You Can’t Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year as President Donald J. Trump,” Penguin Press announced Wednesday. The book, due out Nov. 7, will offer a mix of political commentary and comedy. Baldwin will also lend his voice to the audiobook version. “It will be sharp,” Anderson told The New York Times. “It won’t just be fun-loving.” (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

“The Garfield gender debate is one of my favorite things from this week.” @GATSBYTHEGERBIL tweeting about the controversy surrounding the gender of cartoon cat Garfield. A 2014 interview with cartoonist Jim Davis surfaced in which he called Garfield “universal.” It sparked an editing war on the Garfield Wikipedia page, even leading Wikipedia to temporarily lock down the page. Davis finally clarified to The Washington Post that the fat cat is male.

“Bawling [over] Carryn Owens and her hero husband. God bless her and her family and all military families. Freedom isn’t free.” @CAROLJSROTH reacting to President Trump’s tribute to Carryn Owens, the widow of slain Navy SEAL Ryan Owens, who was killed in the Yemen raid in January. During his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, Trump said to Owens, “Ryan died as he lived, a warrior and a hero, battling against terrorism and securing our nation.”

“This is too adorable. I love that he took time to carefully select the book and everything.” CLAUDIA HERNANDEZ commenting

at buzzfeed.com on an article about University of Tennessee resident assistant Quamir Boddie, who fulfilled a resident’s birthday wish by reading him a bedtime story on his birthday. The resident, freshman Andrew Kochamba, tweeted a photo of Boddie reading “Leo the Late Bloomer.” Twitter users loved the story.

“The future of media is 100% straight men and 4/5 white? Nope.” @CELESTEHEADLEE critiquing the new Hollywood Reporter cover, which features some of CNN’s top digital media talent. CNN senior producer Josiah Daniel Ryan tweeted the cover with the caption, “The future of media looks like this.” Ryan received a lot of criticism for his tone-deaf statement, and THR was also chastised for not including a single woman on the cover.

COMMENTS

Casey up for sharing now that Oscar isn’t at stake

GETTY IMAGES/ EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

Oscar winner Casey Affleck spoke to The Boston Globe about past sexual harassment claims against him, which he kept mum about all awards season. “I believe that any kind of mistreatment of anyone for any reason is unacceptable and abhorrent,” he said. “There’s really nothing I can do about it … other than live my life the way I know I live it.” (EXPRESS)

During Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscars segment that brought Hollywood tourists to the awards as a surprise, Jennifer Aniston handed over her sunglasses when Kimmel encouraged Aniston to give a tourist a gift. Turns out, those were $625 designer shades, the New York Post reported, and she didn’t get them back. “It just kind of happened — and the woman walked off,” a source said. (EXPRESS)

‘Seriously? Tell him at least 63.5 million people on Instagram care.’ NBA player James Harden talked about his past romance with Khloe Kardashian in an interview with Sports Illustrated. “I didn’t like all the attention,” he said. “I feel like it was for no reason. … I don’t need pictures of myself when I’m driving my car. Who cares? What shoes am I wearing? Who cares?” (EXPRESS)

Split makes world feel no strong way Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are “taking a break” from dating after spending more than a year together. “Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time,” said a statement from both of their reps, issued to People magazine. Perry and Bloom appeared at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday night, but onlookers noted that they kept apart from each other save for posing for a few photos. According to People, they spent the last few weeks away from each other while traveling. (EXPRESS)
