Obamas plan to stick around D.C. for a bit THE DISTRICT Republicans hoping to be rid of President Barack Obama early next year will be disappointed when they hear what he told a lunch companion in Milwaukee. Obama said he’ll stick around the Washington area for a couple of years after he leaves office in January so daughter Sasha can finish high school. Sasha, 14, is a freshman at Sidwell Friends, an exclusive school in the nation’s capital that for years has educated the children of Washington’s elites. Her sister, Malia, 17, is a senior at Sidwell. She is expected to be settling in at college when her father’s term ends. One of the women at lunch with Obama dared to ask the burning question: Where will he live after he’s done being president? “We haven’t figured that out yet,” he said. “We’re going to have to stay a couple of years so

Sasha can finish” school. He added: “Transferring someone in the middle of high school. Tough.” Obama’s comment wasn’t at all surprising. He hinted at that likelihood during a television interview with Barbara Walters in late 2013 when he said Sasha “will have a big say” in where the family ends up. But the president sounded more definitive last week. The president had lunch with five people who had sent him letters describing how they

His comments came during a portion of the meeting that was open to the news media and were picked up by microphones. Obama is also expected to spend time in Chicago after leaving the White House.

‘They came in like Rambo’ THE DISTRICT Sallie Taylor was sitting in her apartment in Northeast Washington one evening in January 2015 watching “Bible Talk” when her clock fell off the wall and broke. She turned and looked up. Nine D.C. police officers smashed through her door, a shotgun was pointed at her face and she was ordered to the floor. “They came in like Rambo,” said Taylor, a soft-spoken 63-year-old grandmother who was dressed in a white nightgown and said she has never had even a speeding ticket. The heavily armed squad thought it was searching the residence of a woman arrested 2 miles away the previous night for carrying a half-ounce vial of PCP. Taylor, who did not know the woman, was terrified. Trembling, she told police that the woman did not live there. Officers spent 30 minutes searching the house anyway. They found no drugs and left without making an arrest. The search warrant executed at Taylor’s apartment cited no evidence of criminal activity there. Instead, in an affidavit to a judge, police argued that they should be able to search for drugs there based on their “training and experience” investigating the drug trade. They relied on an address they found in a courtrecords system for the woman arrested with PCP. A Washington Post review of 2,000 warrants served by D.C. police from January 2013 to January 2015 found that 284 — about 14 percent — shared the characteristics of the one executed at Taylor’s apartment. In every case, after arresting

someone on the street for possession of drugs or a weapon, police invoked their training and experience to justify a search of a residence without observing criminal activity there. The language of the warrants gave officers broad leeway to search for drugs and guns. In about 60 percent of the 284 cases, police executing the warrants found illegal items, ranging from drug paraphernalia to guns, The Post found. The amounts of drugs recovered were usually small, ranging from residue to rocks of cocaine. About 40 percent of the time, police left empty-handed. In a dozen instances, The Post found, officers acted on incorrect or outdated address information, subjecting such people as Taylor to the fright of their lives. Almost all of the 284 raids occurred in black communities. In 276 warrants in which The Post could determine a suspect’s race, three originated with arrests of white suspects. The remaining 99 percent involved black suspects.
“It’s a mass-produced, search-andrecovery operation. It’s an assembly line. … It imperils police and people alike.” EUGENE O’DONNELL, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City who is also a former prosecutor and NYPD officer
In the District, 94 percent of people arrested in 2013 for gun or drug charges were black, according to FBI crime data. The 284 warrants reviewed by The Post differ from the usual pattern of police warrants. D.C. police have said at public hearings that the typical raid happens only after undercover officers or confidential informants have purchased drugs or guns from inside a home or police have conducted surveillance there. Attorney Alec Karakatsanis, of the D.C.-based nonprofit group Equal Justice Under Law, said warrants that rely on training and experience as justification for a search subject the black community to police intrusion based on flimsy investigative work. In the

past two years, he has filed seven civil rights suits in federal court challenging D.C. police’s practice of seeking search warrants based solely on an officer’s training and experience. “They have turned any arrest anywhere in the city into an automatic search of a home, and that simply cannot be,” said Karakatsanis, who spent three years studying the issue. “It would work a fundamental change in the balance of power in our society between government agents and individual rights.” D.C. police, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the D.C. Attorney General’s Office defend the use of warrants based on police training and experience. In a written statement to The

D.C. police sometimes raid wrong homes — terrifying residents — in pursuit of guns, drugs
Post, D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier did not distinguish between warrants based primarily on training and experience and those based on more extensive investigation. She said that all of the warrants the department executed last year were constitutionally sound and that each warrant was reviewed by a police lieutenant as well as prosecutors and ultimately approved by a judge. “In the vast majority of those warrants, contraband and evidence was recovered in furtherance of criminal prosecutions, and gave MPD [the Metropolitan Police Department] the ability to bring closure to multiple victims of crimes in our city,” she said. “During that same time frame, MPD received very few complaints regarding the execution of those warrants.” Lanier said residents who are dissatisfied with police should speak with a supervisor at the department or the Office of Police Complaints. “We remain committed to unbiased constitutional policing,” she said. After the raid on Taylor’s home, a repairman used a thin piece of plywood and drywall screws to patch the door. Taylor and her daughters went to the 6th District police station, filed a complaint and requested that the door be repaired. “It made me sad. I had respect for the police, but it was like they didn’t have any rules,” she said. When a search based on erroneous information occurs, police rules require the department to provide an explanation and “repair the damage as soon as possible.” A year later, Sallie Taylor is still waiting to hear from them.

Wiedefeld suggested that despite the litany of service, reliability and financial issues facing the beleaguered transit system, the core mission of Metro remains unchanged. “What’s equally clear 90 days in,” said Wiedefeld, who took over Nov. 30, “is that turning Metro around requires us to confront some hard truths.”
And then he gave a candid assessment of the system and how to fix it. Metro’s safety culture isn’t felt throughout the rungs of the system, he said. Unpredictable maintenance schedules have frustrated riders. Moreover, he said on-time rail performance fell by 7 percent in a single year, “and the experience for many customers was even worse as rail car mechanical failures have doubled the number of late trains.” Wiedefeld outlined a plan with a number of initiatives aimed

Gray launches political comeback Ex-D.C. mayor seeking council seat as well as personal redemption THE DISTRICT Former D.C. mayor Vincent Gray on Saturday officially launched his comeback campaign to rejoin the D.C. Council, telling an audience east of the Anacostia that with a federal investigation behind him, he was running to right “injustice” in the nation’s capital. Gray said residents in Ward 7 are being unjustly denied safe neighborhoods, improving schools and health care options available to others across more prosperous, western stretches of the city and that he would fight to bring a fairer share of those resources to his home ward. But Gray also left little doubt that the campaign would be a platform for him to make a personal pitch for political redemption and to denounce a now-fizzled federal investigation into the funding of his first mayoral campaign. That investigation dragged on for five years, and weeks before he sought the nomination for a second term, a federal prosecutor alleged that Gray had direct knowledge of illegal fundraising on his behalf. The allegation was widely seen as costing Gray the 2014 election, but prosecutors

Trump? Cruz? … Ugh! The GOP establishment finds it is stuck between two options it dislikes
Report cites 104 classified emails on Clinton server GEOFF ROBINS (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)
ANALYSIS Nineteen states have voted in the Republican presidential primary process. And it’s hard to imagine a more nightmarish scenario for the party’s establishment. “We’re left with a bully and a zealot,” Republican media consultant Kim Alfano said. At present, Donald Trump — the foul-mouthed billionaire — is the favorite for the party’s nomination. The alternative is Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who may be the least popular politician in Washington. The only two realistic options for how the race plays out from here are (1) Trump gets the 1,237 delegates he needs to formally become the GOP nominee or (2) he falls short of the requisite delegates but enters the national convention in mid-July in Cleveland with the most delegates (with Cruz in second). So with an unsavory choice between the unpredictable Trump and the disliked Cruz, how does the GOP political class fare? “The difference between Cruz as the nominee and Trump being the nominee is the difference between pain you know you’re going to have and pain you can’t yet predict” but know is coming, said Neil Newhouse, a partner at the GOP polling firm of Public
Donald Trump, left, won Saturday in Kentucky and Louisiana while Ted Cruz triumphed in Kansas and Maine.
Opinion Strategies. The general-election race, Newhouse noted, would be markedly different depending on the Republican nominee. If it’s Cruz vs. Hillary Clinton, “the fight comes down to its essence — an ideological battle, with both sides campaigning to energize their bases while appealing to the moderate middle,” he said. Trump vs. Clinton, on the other hand, becomes “a personality-character contest,” Newhouse said. But neither Cruz nor Trump is what Republicans hoped for at the start of the 2016 cycle, an election widely touted as one in which some of the GOP’s supposed stars — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and former Florida governor Jeb Bush — were in the running. The problem for the GOP

establishment was that voters didn’t like any of those options. Of the states or territories that have voted as of Sunday, an establishment candidate has won a grand total of two: Rubio, in the Minnesota caucuses and Puerto Rico primary. (Trump has won 12 contests, and Cruz has six.) But when most professional political Republicans are confronted with the choice between Cruz and Trump, there is an increasing tendency to side with the senator — a remarkable thing and a testament to just how much concern Trump’s wildness as a candidate has occasioned. “At the end of the day, I know what I’m getting with Ted Cruz,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a vocal Cruz critic, said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” CHRIS CILLIZZA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

POLITICS Hillary Clinton wrote 104 emails that she sent using her private server while secretary of state that the government has since said contain classified information, according to a new Washington Post analysis of Clinton’s publicly released email correspondence. The finding is the first accounting of Clinton’s role in placing sensitive information into insecure email during her State Department tenure. In roughly three-quarters of those cases, officials have said material Clinton herself wrote in the body of emails is classified. Clinton sometimes initiated the conversations but more often replied to aides or other officials with reactions to discussions. The analysis also showed that the practice of using non-secure email systems to send sensitive information was widespread. Clinton’s publicly released correspondence also includes classified emails written by about 300 other people inside and outside the government. The senders included longtime diplomats, top administration officials and foreigners who held no U.S. security clearance. In those cases, Clinton was typically not among the initial recipients of the classified emails; the emails were forwarded to her by an aide. For federal employees other than Clinton, nearly all of the sensitive email was sent using their less secure, day-to-day accounts. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NATO boosts migrant mission in Aegean Sea TURKISH COAST GUARD COMMAND /ANADOLU AGENCY/GETTY IMAGES
BRUSSELS NATO announced Sunday that it was expanding its mission to help choke off the smuggling of migrants into Europe by deploying warships in Greek and Turkish waters, reinforcing its flotilla and deepening cooperation with the European Union’s Frontex border agency. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg made the remarks a day before a summit of EU and Turkish leaders in Brussels about the migration crisis. “We will do reconnaissance, we will do surveillance, we will collect information, and share this information in real time with the Turkish coast guard, the Greek coast guard and with Frontex, helping them with managing the migrant and refugee crisis, and also to cut the lines of the illegal trafficking and smugglers,” Stoltenberg said. The widened mission comes after defense ministers of the 28-nation alliance on Feb. 11 ordered the immediate deployment of the three vessels in NATO’s Standing Maritime Group 2 to

The estimated 4,400 miles traveled by this tiny species smashes the previous record for insect migration of 2,500 miles, held by monarch butterflies. Researchers came to their conclusion by looking at the insect’s genes.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan, at right with President Obama in 2009, will be buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library next to her husband. She died Sunday of congestive heart failure.
A president’s caring partner Nancy Reagan, who died at 94, was her husband’s protector and closest adviser 1921–2016 Nancy Reagan, the helpmate, backstage adviser and fierce protector of Ronald Reagan in his journey from actor to president — and finally during his 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease — has died. She was 94. The former first lady died Sunday at her home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles of congestive heart failure. Her best-known project as first lady was the “Just Say No” campaign to help kids and teens stay off drugs. When she swept into the White House in 1981, the former Hollywood actress partial to designer gowns and pricey china was widely dismissed as a prefeminist throwback, concerned only with fashion, decorating and entertaining. By the time she moved out eight years later, Mrs. Reagan was fending off
accusations that she was a behindthe-scenes “dragon lady” wielding unchecked power over the Reagan administration — and doing it based on astrology to boot. All along she maintained that her only mission was to back her “Ronnie” and strengthen his presidency. Mrs. Reagan carried that charge through the rest of her days. She served as a full-time caretaker as Alzheimer’s melted her husband’s memory. After his death in June 2004 she dedicated herself to tending his legacy. She also championed Alzheimer’s patients, raising millions of dollars for research and breaking with fellow conservative Republicans to advocate for stem cell studies. Her dignity and perseverance in these postWhite House roles helped smooth over the public’s perceptions of the former first lady.
The reactions “She became a voice on behalf of millions of families going through the depleting, aching reality of Alzheimer’s.” —The Obamas “Nancy Reagan lived a remarkable life and will be remembered for her strength and grace.” —California Gov. Jerry Brown
“She was quiet and mild, but you could tell she had steel on the inside.” —William J. Bennett, education secretary in the Reagan administration
“Nancy is where she has always wanted to be with her Ronnie. Now she is at peace.” —Michael Reagan, Nancy Reagan’s stepson
The Reagans’ mutual devotion over 52 years of marriage was legendary. They were forever holding hands. She watched his political speeches with a look of such steady adoration it was dubbed “the gaze.” He called her “Mommy,” and penned a lifetime of gushing love notes. She saved
these letters, published them as a book, and found them a comfort when he could no longer remember her. She met Ronald Reagan in 1950, when he was president of the Screen Actors Guild. They wed two years later, on March 4, 1952. She was thrust into the political life when her husband ran for California governor in 1966 and won. She found it a surprisingly rough business. “The movies were custard compared to politics,” Mrs. Reagan said. After Reagan was shot by John Hinckley just three months into his presidency, he was said to have famously wisecracked to her, “Honey, I forgot to duck.” In announcing his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 1994, Reagan wrote, “I only wish there was some way I could spare Nancy from this painful experience.” Ten years later, as his body lay in state in the U.S. Capitol, Mrs. Reagan caressed and gently kissed the flag-draped casket.

As the newly arrived first lady, Mrs. Reagan raised more than $800,000 from private donors to redo the White House family quarters and to buy a $200,000 set of china bordered in red, her signature color. She was criticized for financing these pet projects with donations from millionaires who might seek influence with the government, and for accepting gifts and loans of dresses worth thousands of dollars from top designers. Her lavish lifestyle — in the midst of a recession and with her husband’s administration cutting spending on the needy — inspired the mocking moniker “Queen Nancy.” But her admirers credited Mrs. Reagan with restoring grace and elegance to the White House after the austerity of the Carter years. In her final years, Mrs. Reagan lived quietly in California. Survivors include her daughter, Patti Davis; her son, Ron Reagan; and her stepson, Michael Reagan. CHRISTOPHER WEBER (AP)

A breakthrough Zika study HEALTH U.S. researchers have announced that they believe they have discovered how the Zika virus can cause the rare birth defect known as microcephaly, in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and underdeveloped brains. Working with lab-grown human stem cells, scientists found that the virus selectively infected cells forming the brain’s cortex, the thin outer layer of folded gray matter. Its assault made those
cells more likely to die and less likely to divide normally and make new brain cells. The finding by researchers from Johns Hopkins University, Florida State University and Emory University offers the strongest evidence yet of how Zika is harming fetuses. Health authorities are increasingly convinced that the mosquito-borne virus has caused microcephaly in hundreds of babies in Brazil, the epicenter of the Zika outbreak that is sweeping through the Americas.

While the study detailed Friday doesn’t definitively prove that the disease causes microcephaly, it strengthens the link between the two by showing cells from the brain’s cortex are vulnerable to attack from the virus, according to Johns Hopkins neurologist Guoli Ming, one of the lead authors. The study, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, shows that if the virus is in the brain, it “can do a lot of damage,” Hengli Tang another lead author, said. LENA H. SUN

Almost 22 years after O.J. Simpson’s ex-wife and a friend were fatally stabbed, police said Friday they are examining a knife that was reportedly found at the Los Angeles house where he lived.

The knife is being analyzed for any possible link to the killings, for which Simpson was acquitted. (AP)

THREE POINTERS
Milestones here to stay Peyton Manning ends his 18-year career with plenty of records. Here are three that will be tough to break.
Peyton Manning will retire as the NFL’s all-time leading passer and winningest starting quarterback.
WASHINGTONPOST.COM | ON THE NFL
Right call for Manning Coming off a Super Bowl win, the Broncos QB will announce his retirement today ANALYSIS It’s been a month since the Broncos beat the Panthers to give Peyton Manning his second Super Bowl triumph. That was long enough for some to begin wondering if maybe the quarterback would attempt to continue his legendary NFL career. But that won’t be the case. Manning, 39, will announce his retirement today, the Broncos confirmed Sunday. He made the right choice. A convincing case can be made that he is the greatest regularseason quarterback in NFL history. A somewhat less convincing case can be made, with two Super Bowl victories and the portions of the NFL record book that belong to him, that he’s the greatest quarterback ever, without any disclaimers. Ma nni ng could not stay healthy this past season. He was not a very good quarterback. His defense handed him one of
the most generous parting gifts in NFL history. He is right to accept it gratefully and make his exit. The clock was ticking for the Broncos, who would have had to release him this week to avoid paying him a guaranteed $19 million for next season. That would have left quarterbackdeprived teams like the Los Angeles Rams and Houston Texans free to attempt to lure Manning to play another season, if they had wanted to do so. But Manning, at this stage in his career, would not have been the answer for them. His post-Super Bowl celebration has been marred by unrelenting scrutiny. Allegations about an incident involving a female university employee while he was in college at Tennessee have been exhaustively re-examined. There was a report during the season, denied vehemently by Manning, linking him
“Peyton was a player that guys wanted to play with. That made us better as a team and I’m thrilled that we were able to win a championship in his final year.” JOHN ELWAY, Broncos GM and Hall of Fame QB, who also retired after winning the Super Bowl for Denver
to human growth hormone being sent to his wife. Maybe those issues will taint his NFL legacy. Maybe they won’t. Until those issues arose, Manning had been regarded as one of the NFL’s classiest acts and finest ambassadors. He was born with football’s version
Nate Diaz beats Conor McGregor, and Miesha Tate takes title from Holly Holm at UFC 196 on Saturday night
of a silver spoon, as a member of quarterbacking’s first family. But his achievements were uniquely his. His on-field productivity is unquestioned. The one knock on him, his lack of a postseason record to rival that of Tom Brady, was mitigated this past season when the Broncos beat Brady and the Patriots in the AFC title game and then won the Super Bowl. The desire to keep playing undoubtedly was there. Only Manning can say how strong it was. What he needed over the past few weeks was someone he trusts to say to him, “Look, you have been great. You’re not great any more. Your body won’t allow it. It’s time to go gracefully.” Maybe that happened. Or maybe Manning simply realized it himself. The great ones love to try to prove everyone wrong. In this case, it was right for Manning not to try. MARK MASKE
PATRICK SMITH (GETTY IMAGES)
JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)
3 55 TD passes in a year A QB has had 40 TDs in a season seven times in the past 10 years, but even in this passing era it will be tough to top 55. In Manning’s record 2013, he had nine games with at least four TD passes.
2 539 career passing TDs Tom Brady, 38, and Drew Brees, 37, are now tied for the active lead with 428 TDs. Both had more than 30 TDs last season, but they would have to play into their 40s and average 37 TDs a year to reach Manning in three seasons.
1 Five NFL MVPs Only nine players in NFL history have won multiple MVPs and Manning has five — two more than any one else. Brady and Aaron Rodgers are the only active players with two.

WIZARDS Saturday was supposed to be a step in the right direction for Bradley Beal. He ditched the mask that he had to wear after breaking his nose Jan. 25 and was finally back in the Wizards’ starting lineup for their bout with the Pacers after playing a reserve role the previous 10 games because the team believed it was the best way to utilize him while he’s on a minutes limit. He helped the Wizards record 64 first-half points in the crucial matchup between teams vying for one of the final playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. Then the evening went askew. The fourth-year sharpshooter exited in third quarter of the Wizards’ 100-99 loss after falling hard on his right hip when he met Pacers big man Myles Turner at the basket mid-air. Beal remained on the floor in agony for a couple of minutes and needed assistance walking to the locker room. Beal, 22, was diagnosed with a sprained pelvis and didn’t return, finishing with 12 points in 24 minutes. He declined to speak to the media after the game and the team didn’t have an update on

his status Sunday. A restricted free agent this summer who will seek a max contract projected to pay approximately $21 million next season, Beal has missed 21 games this season because of a shoulder injury, a stress reaction in his right fibula and a concussion. “It’s tough,” Wizards point guard John Wall said. “I know he’s frustrated, he’s been coming off the bench most of the time he’s been back and putting a lot of work in to come back and be healthy and help this team make a final playoff push.” Washington’s second-leading
scorer, Beal is expected to travel with the team to Portland today for Washington’s three-game road trip, but whether he will play Tuesday against the Trail Blazers is uncertain. “I always think positive, not negative,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. “He’s going to be with us.” Garrett Temple would likely return to the starting lineup if Beal is ruled out. Gary Neal, another option at the two-guard slot, missed his 12th straight game Saturday with a right leg injury that he described as neurological. JORGE CASTILLO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

CAPITALS With the Capitals’ postseason place secure so soon, it was natural for them to have some complacency. Washington’s 2-1 overtime win against the Bruins on Saturday was the team’s best overall game in more than a week, and its fourth game in five nights. Not surprisingly, this spirited effort came on the road, where the Capitals are an Eastern Conferencebest 22-7-2 this season. For a team that’s had some stumbles lately, the four-game road trip comes at a perfect time.
“I think it’s great for us to get on the road a little bit,” coach Barry Trotz said. “We’ve been home for a long time and maybe are a little stale, too, being home for so long. Get on the road and see if we can pull our game a little bit back together.” That process started Saturday night in Boston, in what defenseman Matt Niskanen called a “heck of a hockey game.” It had the pace of a playoff game, and after flashing a strong penalty kill in the second period, the Capitals allowed just four shots on goal in the third period.

With Saturday’s win in Boston, the Capitals improved to an Eastern Conference-best 22-7-2 on the road.
Getting a challenge in upcoming California opponents will also help break up the monotony, as the Capitals’ next three games are against the top three teams in the Pacific Division: the Ducks tonight, the Kings on Wednesday and the Sharks on Saturday. “You want to continue to build going into the playoffs, so the best way to do that is to play against playoff teams and teams that are playing great,” Jay Beagle said. “We’ve got tough opponents coming up, but it’s a good test for us.” ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Namath is Baker’s latest special guest
Zimmerman could appear in games in a couple weeks
Ramos rejoins team after having laser eye surgery
Ryan Zimmerman told manager Dusty Baker that his left foot, bothered by plantar fasciitis since early last season, is doing well. But the Nationals are managing the chronic condition, which requires Zimmerman to wear special insoles and try to minimize time spent in metal cleats on hard infields. “He’ll be fine,” said Baker, who hopes to get Zimmerman playing Grapefruit League games “in the next couple weeks.” Before games started, Zimmerman went through all the infield and offensive drills with his teammates, although he did do modified conditioning. (TWP)
Two days after undergoing Lasik laser eye surgery in D.C., catcher Wilson Ramos was back in Viera, Fla., on Sunday and expects to play again Wednesday. “I’m wishing [it helps with] everything,” Ramos said. “Right now I can see the difference. It will probably help me behind the plate, and in front of the plate as well.” Two years ago, Ramos began having some vision trouble, which he corrected with contact lenses. But Ramos found putting them in and taking them out troublesome. When he underwent his annual physical, the doctor suggested Lasik. (TWP)
When Nationals manager Dusty Baker emerged from the gate in the left field corner Sunday morning in Viera, Fla., he did so with an old friend, Jets legend Joe Namath, at his side. They go “way CHELSEA JANES (THE WASHINGTON POST)
back,” so far that Baker could not even say where they first met. They used to hang out in South Florida, where Namath has lived for years. When Michael A. Taylor walked by to retrieve his helmet and batting gloves, Baker asked him: “You know Joe Namath?” (As if there were a perfectly reasonable chance the 24-year-old might know one of the more renowned quarterbacks in NFL history.) “I do not,” said Taylor, half-smiling. Baker told him to go introduce himself. Such is life with Baker’s Nationals. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Fourth time no charm Netflix’s binge-watching format masks the all-too-obvious flaws of ‘House of Cards’ STREAMING Netflix’s “House of Cards” kicked off its fourth season on Friday, and the buzz seems to have noticeably cooled. Last season, despite strong performances from Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, the show featured unnecessarily complex story lines, deadly boring political shenanigans and questionable subplots. Although when you think about it … the first season had similar issues. As did the second season. So we have to ask: Did “House of Cards” sharply decline? Or has it always been this bad? Consider the Binge-Watching Steamroller Theory from Slate TV critic Willa Paskin, who argues that you’re much more likely to heap lavish praise on
a problematic TV show if you watch it really, really fast. “The greatest trick Netflix ever pulled is convincing us that bingewatching is a sign that something is very good and not just a sign that something is immediately available,” Paskin wrote. “House of Cards” made quite a splash when it debuted in February 2013, as Netflix took an unusual step and released all 13 episodes at once — a novelty! Critics immediately pointed out the outrageous nature of the show, and some politicos hated it for its unrealistic view of Washington. Mostly, though, the show got raves. It was nominated for nine Emmy Awards and was welcomed into the “prestige TV drama” club. But as time went on, people
What the critics said If you were hoping for an engrossing fourth season of “House of Cards,” think again. Of the convoluted plotlines, including Claire’s run for office and a surprise KKK connection, Vox writes, “ ‘House of Cards’ seems to have given up on being meaningful or thoughtful, tossing a bunch of ideas at the wall and then waiting see if any of them stick.” (EXPRESS)
started to recognize that while “House of Cards” looked polished, it was ultimately just as ridiculous as any soap opera. Some critics, such as The New Yorker’s Emily Nussbaum, noticed these problems in Season 1: “In the days after I watched
the show, its bewitching spell grew fainter — and if ‘House of Cards’ had been delivered weekly I might have given up earlier,” she wrote. While the first season tried to at least wink and nod at viewers with its outlandish plots, the second season went off the rails and doubled down on the crazy. Then the third season brought Frank’s presidency and got bogged down way too much in specifics. Now that its approval ratings have tanked, it’s hard to remember: Was “Cards” always this self-serious and convoluted? Considering you likely watched them all within a week years ago, it’s easy to forget — that’s the beauty of Netflix.

MARC SILVER | BROADCAST MUSE
Good ol’ boys: ‘Hap and Leonard’ piles on ‘trailer trash charm’ who happens to be gay (but doesn’t talk about it a lot). He’s full of smoldering rage, courtesy of actor Michael Kenneth Williams of “The Wire.” The six-part series, which premiered last week, is set in 1988. Hap and Leonard are careening into middle age without much hope for the future. They just got fired from picking roses on a rose farm — a “whole batch of Mexicans rolled in” to do the work for less, the foreman says. Our hapless heroes can barely afford the staples of the “trailer trash” diet — Dr Pepper and Nilla wafers. Then along comes blowsy Trudy, ex-wife of Hap, played by Christina Hendricks of “Mad Men” fame. Hap still

“Hap and Leonard” (10 p.m. Wednesdays on Sundance) is a show that serves up a heaping dose of charm — “trailer trash charm,” to quote one of the titular characters. Hap and Leonard are lifelong pals from East Texas who somehow managed to bridge the racial tensions of the 1950s/60s South in their childhood. Hap, the white one, is a college dropout and onetime anti-war protester, imbued with good ol’ boy rough edges by British actor James Purefoy (Marc Antony in HBO’s “Rome”). Leonard, who’s black, is a Vietnam vet
loves Trudy but now she’s hooked up with anti-nukes activist Howard. Trudy and Hap have a tryst; then she tells him why she really came: During a stint in prison, Howard heard about a million stolen dollars in a Cadillac that sank in a creek at the end of a police chase. Trudy promises $200,000 to Hap if he’ll help find the dough. Hap recruits Leonard, who by coincidence was a diver in his military days. The series, based on the novel “Savage Season” by Joe Lansdale, is a pulp fiction tale with plenty of suspense and moments of startling violence. But the series also takes on the issues of our day refracted through a 1980s lens: immigrants and jobs, anti-gay sentiment, racial tensions, the quest for an equitable society. Ponytailed Howard, sounding a bit like Bernie Sanders, asks Leonard, “Where’s your piece of the American pie?” Leonard wryly replies, “I ate mine.”

CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY
Health insurance is not needed to participate and you may receive compensation for time and travel. Eligibility is determined at time of initial visit.
COMEDIAN LOUIS C.K , adding an unexpected — and quite long — postscript to his weekly email about his web series “Horace and Pete.” His funny, angsty rant, published by Variety and others, warns of the perils of electing Donald Trump president. It goes on: “Trump is not your best. He’s the worst of all of us. He’s a symptom to a problem that is very real. But don’t vote for your own cancer.” The comedian doesn’t lobby for a liberal necessarily: “I wish the next president was a conservative only because we had Obama for eight years and we need balance.”
“If you think the online #crossword community is boring and nerdy, may I introduce you to #gridgate?”

We are currently enrolling qualified participants in a clinical research study with a new investigational drug. To qualify, you must be 18 years of age or older with plaque psoriasis; other restrictions may apply.

“As a scientific exercise, the paper titled ‘Tagging Banksy: using geographic profiling to investigate a modern art mystery’ is definitely flawed. If this is truly how we’re confirming people are serial killers, then I’m worried.” KASHMIR HILL, at fusion.net, on a study that analyzes locations of works by anonymous U.K. artist Banksy and “areas associated with one prominent candidate (e.g., his home)” to sort out his identity.
“By dropping a new release that no one knows anything about, producers put audiences behind the proverbial eight ball.“ ELLEN MCCARTHY, at washingtonpost.com, on the surprise tweet of eight new tracks by rapper Kendrick Lamar, a collection dubbed “untitled unmastered.” The tactic, she writes, “ensures that the new release cannot fail to live up to the hype. Because, after all, there is no hype.”
“With bootpants, matching boots to pants is a quandary of the past. Sex appeal is inevitable. And, as with stirrup pants, bootpants solve the boot-related problem of pants that don’t stay properly tucked into boots or bunch at the knee where the boots end.” CHRISTINA CAUTERUCCI, at slate.com, on the leg-high Manolo Blahnik “9 to 5” boots from Rihanna’s collection, out in the March British Vogue. Cauterucci describes them as “a bravura pair of heels attached to chaps” and warns of “the hazards of situations that entail shoe removal.”

Despite both recently sporting suspicious jewelry, Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes did not secretly get married, their reps say. According to the New York Post, Foxx participated in a promotional event last week for JetSmarter, where attendees noted the actor was wearing a gold band on his left ring finger. Holmes has also been seen wearing a ring. The two actors have been dating since 2013, but neither has confirmed the relationship. That hasn’t stopped gossip sites like OK! magazine, which reported last week that Holmes is pregnant with Foxx’s baby (her rep denied it). (EXPRESS)
