The list of dockless options in the District keeps getting longer

UNCONVENTIONAL

Container to become a library space LUZ LAZO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

TRANSPORTATION The electric scooter is the latest addition to the array of app-based transportation in D.C. — and more dockless scooters are hitting the District’s streets this week.

Electric scooters arrived in the District last month, when California-based Waybots launched. Now LimeBike, which was the first in the dockless bike market in the city last fall, is adding 50 scooters to its fleet this week.

Scooter operations are allowed in the city as part of the District’s exploration of new mobility services like dockless bikes. In September, the city opened its doors to five dockless bike-share systems.

The new motorized scooters work similarly to the dockless bike systems. They rent for as little as $1 plus 15 cents per minute. Users track down a scooter via an app and can drop it off just about anywhere after their trip is completed.

The new transportation product is touted as another option for commuters to make first- and last-mile trips in complement

This week, LimeBike is adding 50 scooters to D.C.’s dockless options.

to traditional transit.

But the scooter systems have not been without controversy, having already raised concerns about people riding on sidewalks and without helmets.

The scooters are allowed in bike lanes but prohibited on sidewalks downtown, per city law.

Users are not required to wear a helmet in the District, but scooter companies encourage users to take precautions and avoid using headphones. The Lime scooters

can go nearly 15 mph and have a 37-mile maximum range.

In cities where residents are still coping with the arrival of thousands of free-standing rental bicycles, the scooter services add another layer of complexity to city grids. It’s a situation that will likely ignite conflict among road users as concerns about safety increase and cities struggle to come up with a regulatory framework.

D.C. aiming to lower maternity death rate

Master of Arts in Liberal Studies A values-based, part-time evening program that fosters a broader perspective of the modern world scs.georgetown.edu/inspire

THE DISTRICT D.C. mothers are twice as likely to die because of pregnancy than the average American woman.

The city’s maternal mortality rate — among the nation’s highest — has captured the attention of local leaders and those in Congress, who say avoidable deaths of mothers are unacceptable in the nation’s capital.

Mayor Muriel Bowser plans to sign legislation passed last week by the D.C. Council to form a commission to investigate deaths related to childbirth and recommend ways to address the root causes.

Meanwhile, the chairs of congressional subcommittees overseeing Medicaid spending have asked the District’s health department and its only public hospital to explain what they’re doing to prevent these deaths.

About 41 women in the District die for every 100,000 live births, according to an analysis of 2010-2014 federal health data by United Health Foundation. That compares to about 20 deaths for every 100,000 births in the U.S., which has the highest maternal mortality rate of any developed country.

“There’s no question we are in a maternal health crisis,” said

JABIN BOTSFORD (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Pregnancy twice as likely to kill D.C. women than in the U.S. overall

Mayor Muriel Bowser plans to sign a bill forming a commission to investigate the high rate of deaths related to childbirth in the District.

D.C. Council member Charles Allen, D-Ward 6, who authored the bill to create a maternal mortality review committee.

What is in question is what’s driving maternal deaths.

Suspected factors include women entering pregnancy with a variety of other health problems, mothers starting prenatal care too late and even the stress of racism faced by black residents.

City health officials caution that the maternal mortality rate alone doesn’t tell the full picture.

Fewer than 10 women a year are dying, a relatively small number that makes it hard to spot patterns, they said.

“We know that a woman’s health before pregnancy is

$2.7M

critical for the health of moms and babies,” Anjali Talwalkar of the city’s health department said in a statement. “That’s why we target the leading causes of poor birth outcomes in the District with programs that, for instance, help women stop smoking, control weight, treat diabetes and hypertension, etc.”

Health advocates say maternal deaths, even if they are low in number, demand attention.

“It will always be urgent when we are at risk of losing moms,” said Ruqiyyah Abu-Anbar, an early childhood policy fellow at the research and advocacy group DC Action for Children.

“Maternal mortality is a reflection of how we care for women.”

Seth Rich’s family suing Fox News

is one smart move

NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Inova names new CEO for health care network

THE DISTRICT The parents of Seth Rich — the Democratic National Committee staffer police believe was murdered during a botched robbery in 2016 — have sued Fox News over a retracted story that peddled a conspiracy theory about his murder, claiming the network “intentionally exploited” the tragedy for political purposes.

The May 2017 story stated, falsely, that investigators had evidence showing Rich leaked thousands of DNC emails to WikiLeaks in the midst of the 2016 presidential election, just weeks before he was shot to death in Washington. That story line — popular among conspiracy theorists and in far-right online groups — contradicts U.S. intelligence that Russia was behind the WikiLeaks email dump that damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Fox News’ story fell apart quickly after the FBI pointed out that a “federal investigator” and “FBI report” referenced in the story as sources did not exist. The second core source in the story, private investigator and Fox News contributor Rod Wheeler, claimed the reporter fabricated his quote saying he had evidence of emails between Rich and WikiLeaks. He has since sued the network for defamation. (Fox News has denied all his claims.)

Parents say company pushed fake conspiracy in DNC staffer’s killing

Come discover why and we’ll waive your application fee.

D.C. police say Seth Rich, a DNC staffer, was killed during a botched robbery attempt in 2016.

Fox News retracted the story six days after it was published, saying the story “was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require.”

But Joel and Mary Rich say the story has followed them ever since, wreaking damage on them and their son, whose legacy has become entangled in a conspiracy theory Fox News elevated “from the fringe to the front pages and screens of the mainstream media,” the lawsuit says. The couple are seeking unspecified damages for emotional distress.

“No parent should ever have to live through what we have been forced to endure,” Joel and Mary Rich said in a statement released through their media representative. “The pain and anguish that comes from seeing your murdered son’s life and legacy treated as a mere political football is beyond comprehension.”

Theoretical physicist Hawking dies at age 76

Theranos’ founder yields control, pays $500K fine

Scientist and author continued space, time research despite ALS WHAT A DOWNER

UN report: U.S. drops to 18th in happiness

ANDREW COWIE (AFP/GETTY IMAGES

1942-2018 Stephen Hawking, whose brilliant mind ranged across time and space though his body was paralyzed, died Wednesday at 76 in Cambridge, England.

Hawking wrote so lucidly of space, time and black holes that his book “A Brief History of Time” became an international best-seller.

“He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years,” his children Lucy, Robert and Timothy said.

He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at 21, and stunned doctors by living with the normally fatal illness for over 50 years. Severe pneumonia in 1985 left him breathing through a tube, forcing him to communicate through an electronic voice synthesizer that gave him his robotic monotone.

As one of Isaac Newton’s successors as Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, Hawking was involved in the search for a “unified theory” of physics, to resolve the contradictions between Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and the quantum mechanics theory.

Hawking first earned prominence for his theoretical work

Stephen Hawking was best known for his book “A Brief History of Time” and his discovery that black holes leak light and “Hawking radiation.”

on black holes, showing that they leak light and other radiation now known as “Hawking radiation.”

Hawking was born Jan. 8, 1942, in Oxford. In 1959, he entered Oxford University and then went on to graduate work at Cambridge.

He was inducted into the Royal Society in 1974 and received the Albert Einstein Award in 1978.

In 1989, Queen Elizabeth II made

him a Companion of Honor, one of her highest distinctions. He retired as Lucasian Professor in 2009 and took up a research position with the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario, Canada.

“I accept that there are some things I can’t do,” Hawking told the AP in 1997. “But they are mostly things I don’t particularly want to do anyway.” ROBERT BARR (AP)

For the second year in a row, the U.S. dropped in the U.N.-sponsored World Happiness Report’s annual ranking. The 2018 report was published Wednesday and has the U.S. ranked 18th out of 156 nations, down four spots from 2017. The report cites obesity, substance abuse and depression as the main factors for unhappiness in the U.S. They contributed to a drop in life expectancy at birth “nearly unprecedented for a high-income country in peacetime,” the report said. Finland ranked first, followed by 2017 champ Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.

The bottom three were Burundi, the Central African Republic and South Sudan. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

LONDON British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday ordered the immediate expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats believed to be involved in espionage, in the first reprisals against Moscow for a chemical attack on a former double agent.

May, speaking to Parliament, outlined other responses, including a halt to high-level meetings with Russian officials and the cancellation of a planned visit to Britain by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

She also said the royal family and government ministers would boycott this summer’s World Cup soccer tournament in Moscow.

May repeated the conclusion of British investigators that Russia had either deployed or lost control of a dangerous nerve agent used in the attack targeting former spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia.

The prime minister said Russia’s defiant response to her request for explanation has “demonstrated complete disdain for the gravity of these events.”

nation+world Republican expected to seek recount after Democrat declares win POLITICS Democrat Conor Lamb clung to a slender lead Wednesday in a closely watched U.S. House race in Pennsylvania, while Republican Rick Saccone eyed a recount in the longtime GOP stronghold.

With the last absentee ballots counted, Lamb, a 33-year-old former prosecutor and firsttime candidate, saw his edge shrink to 627 votes, according

to unofficial results. The district has seven days to count the provisional ballots, and with the margin so close, supporters of either candidate can ask for a recount.

Though The Associated Press has not called the race, Lamb has declared victory. Saccone, a 60-year-old Air Force veteran turned state lawmaker and college instructor, isn’t conceding.

Lamb, a Marine veteran, told supporters Tuesday night that voters had directed him to “do your job” in Washington. “Mission accepted,” he said. Saccone,

A court has thrown out the state’s congressional map in a gerrymandering case, so current districts have been redrawn and the new ones will be used in November.

Pennsylvania’s congressional primaries are May 15, and Saccone’s campaign officials say he is now gathering nominating signatures in that new district. BILL BARROW, MARC LEVY AND STEVE PEOPLES (AP)

In Washington, politicians and administration officials heard Wednesday’s message up close.

Hundreds of high school and middle school students from local districts gathered at the White House carrying signs protesting gun violence and those who oppose gun control measures.

Just before 10 a.m., the crowd fell silent and sat down on Pennsylvania Avenue, their backs to the White House, with fists and signs held high. They sat quietly, one

EDUCATION Everywhere, it seemed, the students had had enough. At thousands of schools across the country, from Alaska to Florida and everywhere in between, students walked out of class Wednesday to protest gun violence and to mark one month since a mass shooting left 17 dead at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. The nationally organized walkouts, which came 10 days before a march on Washington organized

by Stoneman Douglas survivors that could draw hundreds of thousands of students to the nation’s capital, are unprecedented in recent American history.

David Farber, a history professor at the University of Kansas who has studied social change movements, said it is too soon to know what effect the protests will have. But he said Wednesday’s walkouts were without a doubt the largest protest led by high school students in the history of the U.S. “Young people are that social media generation, and it’s easy to mobilize them in a way that it probably hadn’t been even 10 years ago,” Farber said.

Many of the participants said the focus on gun control was not an expression of party preference. What they are demanding from Republicans and Democrats alike is action on an issue they believe has been shuffled aside by lawmakers for too long.

“We want our Congress to know that some of us will be old enough to vote in the midterm elections, and the rest of us are going to be able to vote in 2020 or 2022, and they’re going to

The protests took place at schools from the elementary level through college, including some that have witnessed their own mass shootings: About 300 students gathered on a soccer field at Colorado’s Columbine High, while students who survived the Sandy Hook Elementary School attack in 2012 marched out of Newtown High School in Connecticut.

At Eagle Rock High in Los Angeles, teenagers took a moment of silence as they gathered around a circle of 17 chairs labeled with the names of the Florida victims.

Stoneman Douglas High senior David Hogg, who has emerged as one of the movement’s leading student activists, livestreamed the walkout at the tragedy-stricken school on his YouTube channel. He said students couldn’t be expected to stay in class while there was work to do to prevent gun violence.

“Every one of these individuals could have died that day,” he said. “I could have died that day.”

BUSINESS Toy store chain Toys R Us is planning to sell or close all 800 of its U.S. stores, affecting as many as 33,000 jobs as the company winds down its operations after six decades, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The news comes six months after the retailer filed for bankruptcy. The company has struggled to pay down nearly $8 billion in debt and has had trouble finding a buyer.

There were reports earlier this week that Toys R Us had stopped paying its suppliers, which include the country’s largest toymakers. Wednesday, the company announced it would close all 100 of its U.K. stores. In the U.S., the company told employees closures would likely occur over time, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Once the country’s preeminent toy retailer, Toys R Us has been unable to keep up with big-box and online competitors.

In January, Toys R Us announced it would close 182 U.S. stores.

A group of toymakers led by MGA Entertainment submitted a bid Wednesday to buy the Canadian arm of Toys R Us, according to Isaac Larian, MGA’s chief executive. Larian is also looking into buying as many as 400 U.S. stores, which he would seek to operate under the Toys R Us name. “There is no toy business without Toys R Us,” Larian said.

NFL FREE AGENCY

Moving day After a hectic Tuesday full of news about where players intended to sign, NFL free agency opened Wednesday.

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

Not a quick fix: Richardson won’t have starring role year with a mysterious Achilles ailment, was a playmaker.

Doctson played in 14 games and showed bursts of talent with six touchdown catches, but if he doesn’t prove to be a consistent threat this fall, he’ll risk being considered a bust.

Other top options could be slot specialist Jamison Crowder or tight end Jordan Reed, if he can ever stay healthy. Incoming quarterback Alex Smith, whom the team could finally welcome to Washington on Wednesday, will have a few choices, even if none are consistent Pro Bowlers. Who knows? Maybe Washington will even draft a running back who can average more than 3 yards per carry.

Richardson doesn’t need to catch 60 passes this fall to help the offense. Jackson caught 56 and topped 1,000 yards in each of his two healthy seasons in Washington. The Redskins didn’t have anyone to stretch the field last year, and quarterback Kirk Cousins found himself throwing to safer, shorter options.

Browns pick up Hyde: NFL Network reported that former 49ers running back Carlos Hyde will get a threeyear deal worth $15 million.

OTTO GREULE JR/GETTY IMAGES)

Paul Richardson can’t be the savior of the Redskins’ passing game. The former Seahawks receiver is only a single piece — and not the centerpiece — needed to revive the offense.

Washington will need to make major changes to overcome last year’s malaise in the red zone. By agreeing with Richardson on a five-year contract worth $40 million, the Redskins get the type of speedy receiver they missed last season following the departure of DeSean Jackson — and they might get a kick returner, too.

But Richardson, the only external free agent signing linked to Washington as of Wednesday evening, won’t be a No. 1 receiver — at least the Redskins hope not. That role is reserved for 2016 first-round pick Josh Doctson. Last year, coach Jay Gruden seemed determined to prove that Doctson, who missed nearly all of his rookie

GABE HIATT (EXPRESS)

Wide receiver Paul Richardson has agreed to a five-year deal worth $40 million with the Redskins, who still don’t have a reliable No. 1 option.

Richardson averaged 16 yards per catch last season and posted career highs with 703 yard and six touchdowns. That he caught just 44 of 80 targets is a red flag. In the best case, the speedster can help move the offense in big chunks and develop a relationship with Smith that mimics how the Chiefs used Tyreek Hill last year.

Individually, the Redskins’ receiving game won’t scare opponents. Adding Richardson doesn’t preclude the team from drafting or signing another wideout, but Washington probably will wait until 2019

before deciding if it needs to move on from Doctson and find a true No. 1 threat in the draft. It’s not easy to find college standouts who dominate the NFL — at least, not if you’re the Redskins.

Richardson, 25, tore his ACL at the end of his rookie season and later struggled with a hamstring problem. He’s shown what he can do when healthy.

Maybe he could be playmaker — just not the leading one.

Packers add Wilkerson: Former Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson visited with the Redskins but opted for a one-year deal with the Packers worth $5 million with $3 million in incentives.

Peppers stays put: Defensive end Julius Peppers re-signed with Carolina, where he returned last year after a seven-year absence and posted 11 sacks, for one year and $5 million. He is 38.

Giants pay up for Solder: New York paid a premium to shore up its problematic offensive line, agreeing to give former Patriots left tackle Nate Solder, 29, a four-year, $62 million deal .

49ers value McKinnon: Former Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon, 25, will replace Hyde in San Francisco on a deal worth up to $30 million over four years, ESPN reports.

GYMNASTICS Gold medalist Aly Raisman, above, is suing the USOC and USA Gymnastics, alleging the organizations “willfully” refused to “implement appropriate safeguards” at the Karolyi Ranch in Texas — a designated national training center for 16 years — and enabled the sex crimes of team physician Larry Nassar.

At the Karolyi Ranch, Raisman said, showers were moldy and the food was so bad that it seemed calculated to give athletes eating disorders. A former trainer unconnected to Raisman described meals full of frozen vegetables and powdered eggs. The lack of a training room, the trainer said, forced athletes to receive treatment from Nassar in their rooms at night.

“The fact that Nassar was fine working on us on our beds without a table, that … should’ve been a red flag,” Raisman said.

Old bunk beds, Raisman said, were covered with stained blankets and crawling with bugs.

She said athletes weren’t even provided with bottled water, and bathrooms lacked soap. When they ran out, they were terrified to ask for more because U.S. coaches and officials made them believe complainers would be left off the team, Raisman said.

USA Gymnastics said it could not respond to Raisman’s allegations “due to pending litigation.”The USOC and USA Gymnastics severed ties with the Karolyi Ranch in January.

CAPITALS To celebrate Philipp Grubauer’s shutout in San Jose on Saturday — his first this season — Braden Holtby skated over and kissed Grubauer on the mask, a show of support from one goalie to another.

They’re teammates first and foremost, but internal competition exists. After three-plus years without any mystery in the Capitals’ cage, there are some questions now as to who will be the team’s top goaltender.

Since coach Barry Trotz handed the net over to Grubauer in a supposed “reset” period for Holtby, Grubauer has allowed four goals in three games. He saved 76 of the 80 shots he faced as Washington recorded wins over San Jose and Winnipeg, two postseason-bound Western Conference teams.

I’m really bad after my workouts and I’ll go to Starbucks.

My go-to drink is an iced green tea latte with coconut milk.

The coconut milk adds this tropical feel that’s so nice, it’s a little booster. Then I usually do the bacon gouda sandwich, my favorite.

I want to go to The Amazing Comic Shop. I’m a huge comic book nerd; I have a ton. I love a lot of Dark Horse Comics and

They just opened up this store called Earth Fare, which is essentially a Whole Foods — there’s equal hipster vibes, but it’s more approachable.

I will go through every aisle just to look. So that’s like a two-hour grocery store trip.

A lot of the stuff I would get is typical cake stuff. They have a pretty awesome pastry case with these gigantic cupcakes.

I haven’t tasted them but they look really good, so I would get a cupcake.

There is a place I once went like three days in a row called Bebop in Fairfax. It’s a KoreanMexican fusion place. You can get a bowl of kimchi-bacon fried rice, which is out of this world. Then I’d just chill with my friends. We’ll watch “Inuyasha” or we’ll do “Another Period” — I love that show.

At 11 at night, we’d probably do a Taco Bell run. If someone was like, “Name a place that’s consistent in your life,” it’d be Taco Bell. Their new nacho fries, I have a love-hate relationship with them. Every time I get them they’re not fresh.

And you can’t have fries that aren’t fresh! So I’ll get them when it’s super late because they have to make them fresh.

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

Two kinds of people visit the Drug Enforcement Administration Museum and Visitors Center: those who could pass a DEA background check, and those who could not and become increasingly paranoid that they are about to be unmasked and arrested, perhaps by the gift shop cashier.

Both kinds of people were evident on my recent visit to the small, free museum, which is tucked into the lobby of the agency’s headquarters in Pentagon City.

“Who says ‘grass’ anymore?” asked a 20-something guy holding a “Keep Off the Grass” bumper sticker adorned with a crossed-out pot leaf icon, available for a buck at the gift shop.

“Shhh!” replied his anxiouslooking companion.

As for the other kind of people, I ran into two of them inside the museum. Notebooks in hand, they told me they were there to complete an assignment for their college “Drugs and Society” class.

“Do you think all the information in here is accurate?” I asked.

“I should hope so!” one of them replied.

I asked because we were, at that moment, standing in front of a re-creation of a 1990s-era

crack house that, to my admittedly inexpert eye, seemed a little conspicuous. For instance, it has a shiny metal door that practically screams, “Attention DEA agents! Crack house here!” Though if you wanted to put your crack house on a block of S&M dungeons, this one would have blended in perfectly.

The two students and I continued to the main part of the museum, which chronicles the history of drug use in America — apparently as written by the world’s squarest 1950s dad. “ ‘Hipsters’ — black and white — had little interest in the traditional American Dream, pursuing instead creativity, spontaneous pleasure, freedom and excitement,” proclaims one photo caption, as if that was a bad trade-off. A nearby caption throws subtle shade at musicians of the mid20th century. “The jazzmen who smoked marijuana felt it improved their music. Nonusers felt just the opposite.”

As you would expect, the DEA museum attributes many social ills to drug use, but it’s most convincing when making the case that drugs cause crimes of the fashion variety.

Consider, for instance, cases containing green platform boots and a floor-length fur coat worn by undercover agents in the ’70s and ’80s, respectively. Also on display:

BEN CLAASSEN III (FOR EXPRESS)

Quite a trip: This is my brain on the DEA Museum

a metallic-silver shirt worn by an undercover officer involved in something called Operation Rave Review. I’m embarrassed to say that it is nearly identical to a shirt I bought circa 1998.

(I was not on drugs when I made this purchase, but the people who talked me into it probably were.)

Perhaps the most thrilling displays — especially to those of us who have never seen them in real life — are the actual drugs. One case contains a smudge of opium from 1923 that was tested and still found to be psychoactive 75 years later, exhibit text says. The evidence bags of desiccated marijuana probably haven’t held up as well, and the exhibit is perhaps purposely mum

Pro tip: Don’t expect a nuanced history of drug use in America. on whether the crack vials on display contain actual crack.

Another museum highlight is the diamond-encrusted gun of an international drug smuggler — an object simultaneously so attractive and repulsive, it’s a decent metaphor for the glamour and destruction of the drug underworld itself.

Interestingly, the museum used to have more firearms on exhibit — including a Glock 17 pistol, a MAC 11 machine gun and a Beretta M9 — but they’ve been removed from display for “safety reasons,” a

museum guard told me.

You’d have to be pretty brazen to try to steal things from a museum with a roughly 1-to-1 ratio of armed guards to visitors (at least when I was there). And if you did try, why would you grab old guns when there are diamonds and drugs to be had? I opted not to bring these points up.

Finishing up back at the gift shop, I perused a wide variety of DEA-themed polo shirts, windbreakers and other apparel — all of which answer the question “Are you a narc?” with a resounding, enthusiastic “Yes!” I considered making several ironic purchases, but then I took another look at all those armed guards and decided I’d better not.

No one can say the first secretary of the Treasury couldn’t party. After the Society of the Cincinnati’s meeting at which Hamilton was elected the group’s vice president, he, Pierre L’Enfant, Revolutionary War hero Baron von Steuben and others went out for dinner. And what’s dinner without drinks?

“It’s a list of port and brandy and grog and punch,” Parsons says. “It’s a really fascinating look at what their social lives were like.” Their social lives on that night in 1789 amounted to 78 pounds and 4 shillings, which in today’s money is a lot.

This list of candidates for officer positions in the Army includes Hamilton’s remarks, in which he sums up each man with a blunt appraisal like “unknown ... probably bad.” “It’s really candid, really eye-opening and entertaining to read,” Parsons says. Hamilton dismissed some as drunkards or undisciplined — and disdained others for being members of the opposing party.

Who is the target audience of Mallory Ortberg’s new collection of short stories, “The Merry Spinster”? Ortberg, 31, [who since this interview has announced their transition to Daniel] is glad you asked.

“I want everyone to read this book because I want to sell a lot of copies and make a lot of money so I can keep writing books,” Ortberg says matter-of-factly. The co-founder of the defunct humor site The Toast who now offers advice as Slate’s Dear Prudence columnist, Ortberg Ortberg indulged a deep love of fairy tales, fables and classic texts for “Spinster.” Some of the fantastical stories, which Ortberg will discuss at Politics and Prose at The Wharf on Tuesday, take beloved characters like the Little Mermaid and the hero of “The Frog Prince” and swap their gender or give them deeply feminist attitudes. The biggest surprise? All of the stories turned out to be far more personal than Ortberg expected. LORI McCUE (EXPRESS)

What were the pieces or documents that informed your comic sensibility?

The way that Shirley Jackson wrote both humor and horror has always really appealed to me. She did that memoir about raising her children, “Life Among the Savages,” and “The Haunting of Hill House,” “We Have Always Lived in the Castle.” It felt like interesting, smart, funny, capable people were experiencing absolute panic and terror, and I loved that.

The book reads as though it’s the work of someone who admires fairy tales, but also finds them troubling. Can you remember the first classic tale that you read and realized was pretty screwed up?

That always seemed very clear to me. There was always tons of panic and anxiety and obsession in things like gender roles, gender restrictions, where pain comes from in a family dynamic or what’s safe and what’s not safe.

Like, of course the stories that we tell children, that children tell each other or that children tell themselves are full of panic and anxiety and uncertainty. That’s what being a child is like. Being a child is very upsetting.

The throughline in these stories seems to be body autonomy and what we owe to society and our loved ones, especially when it comes to bodies being mutilated or transformed. Is that something you knew you wanted to study?

It was something that I went into writing the book on some level aware that I wanted to do, and also like I was playing a horrible trick on myself. One of the things that feels relevant and necessary and important and exciting to talk about is, about halfway through writing this book I started consciously asking myself whether or not I was transgender. Turns out I think the answer is yes, so I’m undergoing transition right now.

I had a lot of anxiety and

Did it feel therapeutic at all?

No, it felt terrible! It was not therapeutic in the sense that “ah, I have exorcised all my demons and everything makes sense now and I’m a legible person with an explicable future.” It just felt like these were the things that were on my mind consciously and unconsciously at the outset, and they are also on my mind now in many more present and conscious ways. I wanted to envision a world in which there was still things like the gendered abuse of power, but gender operated a different way — not in a utopian way or a dystopian way, but simply different from the world that we know and experience right now.

You’ve broken these stories down so much that many of the original tales aren’t familiar anymore.

Why not start from scratch?

Part of it is just that’s never been the type of writing I’ve been especially good at. I just don’t naturally come up with a lot of wholly original plots or

characters or things that I want to have happen. But if you give me a framework, I’ll fill a ton of excitement, energy, momentum.

uncertainty about “Am I going to keep my head down about this?

Will I have to answer questions at public appearances about my changing appearance? Will people ask me questions about the themes in this book where I will feel like there’s more of an answer than I want to give but I’m not ready to?” It’s been anxiety-inducing, but also exciting, especially since this last year I spent so much time in gender therapy and asking these questions and seeking the support and help that I need. So, yes, absolutely, the reason that shifting genders were present in this book is because I started transitioning as I was finishing the darn book.

An Ethiopian restaurant can be an intimidating place: Many meats are served raw, there is no silverware and the proprietor may be resistant to cater to Westerners and their love of flatware. Just accept that an Ethiopian meal is a feast for the hands — tear off a piece of the crepelike injera flatbread and use it to scoop up the stews and salads that cover a communal platter (which itself is covered in injera). Think of the bread as your utensil and just go with it.

THURSDAY | 03.15.2018 | EXPRESS | 27

weekendpass A bread unlike any other

The spice is right Chili peppers are the prime ingredient in two spice blends that dominate Ethiopian cooking: berbere and mitmita. Berbere is a complex, brick-red blend in which chili peppers are cut with other ingredients, including cinnamon and besobela (known as Ethiopian sacred basil), to tamp down the heat. This milder blend is used in a wide variety of dishes. Mitmita is a significantly spicier combination, heavy on peppers such as serrano, and reserved for flame-throwing preparations such as kitfo (a mound of ground beef, often served raw, mixed with mitmita and spiced butter) and dullet (in which tripe is sauteed with mitmita and other ingredients). “The spice level can vary, depending on the chef,” says Zenebech Dessu, the founder and chef behind D.C.’s Zenebech Restaurant. “They can make it more spicy.”

Vegetarians welcome Ethiopia, by necessity, has a deep respect for vegetarian and vegan fare.

More than 40 percent of the African country’s 106 million residents consider themselves Ethiopian Orthodox, a Christian church that observes as many as 250 “fasting” days. During fasting periods, the observant typically eat only once a day, usually around midday or evening, and the meal will not include meat, fats, eggs or dairy. Ethiopian cooks have therefore become expert at developing vegetarian dishes with lots of flavor, such as misir wat (in which red lentils are goosed with berbere) and tikel gomen (in which cabbage, carrots and potatoes are elevated with turmeric, ginger and cumin).

DEB LINDSEY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Teff is a tiny grain that has been cultivated in Ethiopia for nearly 2,000 years. Back in the home country, injera is made from 100 percent teff flour, but the grain has been difficult (and expensive) to source in the United States. So injera-makers such as Meaza Zemedu, owner and chef of Meaza Ethiopian Cuisine in Falls Church, use a mix of teff and wheat flour to prepare their flatbreads — a painstaking process that can take several days. Good injera should be thin and tangy and have a lot of “eyes” — those tiny craters you find in the flatbread, Zemedu says. All-teff injera will be tangier than the hybrid kind found at most Ethiopian restaurants in the United States.

Great Ethiopian food is just minutes away Washington’s Ethiopian food standard-bearer, Zenebech Restaurant, closed in 2016 after selling its Shaw restaurant to developers. It reopened in Adams Morgan last year, only to be shuttered again after a fire in December. (Zenebech expects to reopen this month.) Fortunately, there are plenty of other Ethiopian options you can try in the D.C. area. T.C. Etete 1942 Ninth St. NW Trailblazers invite detractors, and Etete was no different when the institution decided to hire a chef with fine-dining credentials to reimagine Ethiopian cuisine for Shaw’s young-and-hungry set. Chef Christopher Roberson borrows inspiration from other cultures — Japan for the soyglazed derek tibs, Mexico for the berbere chicken tacos wrapped in injera — but the results have shown that Ethiopian cuisine is more open to foreign influence than previously suspected.

Beteseb Restaurant 8201 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring Downtown Silver Spring is a magnet for Ethiopians. The Maryland suburb teems with East African restaurants and cafes, some more welcoming than others to outsiders on a busy Saturday night. The recently renamed Beteseb has carved out a niche as an approachable outpost for all comers.

More important, the food remain vibrantly spiced, not some milquetoast interpretation to entice first-timers.

Meaza Ethiopian Cuisine 5700 Columbia Pike, Falls Church Owner Meaza Zemedu and her team prepare their injera multiple times a day, to ensure that this focal point of the Ethiopian table is always light, airy and fresh. Wrap that tangy flatbread around almost anything on the menu — especially the Meaza Tibs, tender morsels of beef that you can immolate with the accompanying awaze sauce — and you’ll immediately understand the importance of good injera.

Nazret Ethiopia Restaurant 3821-D S. George Mason Drive, Falls Church

Chef Zewdu Mekonnen has been trained in the classical cuisines of Europe, but his specialty is the food of his native Ethiopia. He’s not trying to refine Ethiopian cooking as much as he’s honoring it with quality ingredients.

His buttery tibs, his ropy kitfo and his well-salted gomen greens are all the efforts of a master cook.

‘The Quiet Man’

John Wayne heads to the west — Western Europe — and romances Maureen O’Hara in “The Quiet Man,” which screens this weekend at the AFI Silver.

If you’ve got a friend who whines about not liking Westerns, you should seriously consider not being that person’s friend anymore.

Second, if you’ve got a friend who doesn’t like John Wayne because “he only does Westerns,” have we got a treat for you! This weekend the AFI Silver is showing “The Quiet Man,” a very funny comedy starring the Duke himself. Wayne plays a boxer (not a cowboy!) who moves back to Ireland and eventually falls in love with Maureen O’Hara, but not until after much mayhem. This Technicolor feast for the eyes was nominated for best picture in 1953, and John Ford took home the best director Oscar. So see the movie and then go out for a big honkin’ steak lunch, pilgrim.

The event kicks off Thursday with “The Last Animals,” about people who are working to protect elephants and rhinos from extinction. The opening-night lineup also includes “The Protectors: Walk in the Ranger’s Shoes,” a virtual reality short that guests can watch on headsets during the reception if they don’t want to talk to anyone.

Over the following 10 days, expect a cavalcade of shorts, documentaries, features and Q&As with directors, experts and subjects.

In Alabama in 1944, Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old African-American woman, was raped by six white men. Taylor accused the men and the NAACP sent its chief rape investigator — Rosa Parks. Parks was unsuccessful at even getting a trial, as two all-white, all-male juries refused to indict. “The Rape of Recy Taylor,” a new documentary that connects the crime against Taylor (who died last year at age 97) to the beginnings of the civil rights movement, is getting a free showing at the National Museum of African American History and Culture; a discussion will follow.

MUSIC

Lee Ann Womack Texan Lee Ann Womack started her career in the Dolly Parton mold before going pop with the massive ballad “I Hope You Dance.” Then she went traditional for a few albums, and when she emerged from a six-year hiatus in 2014, there was a rootsy rawness to her lived-in tales. Last fall she released an album perfect for the neo-traditionalist moment, “The Lonely, the Lonesome & the Gone,” which finds her once-delicate birdsong taking on a weathered, worn quality. Rams

TUESDAY

Billie Eilish Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW; Tue., 7:30 p.m., sold out.

Wed.

Billie Eilish’s 2016 ballad “Ocean Eyes,” produced by her older brother, was seemingly an overnight smash.

Its ethereal synth lines combined with the airy gentleness of Eilish’s vocals to create a sound like something out of a dream. The 16-year-old Los Angeles native approaches her music with a flippant self-awareness only a teenager could have. With just a single EP to her name, she has been heralded as the future of pop and the genre’s next “it” girl.

Justin Timberlake

D.C.; Wed. through March 24, various times and prices, go to undergroundcomedyfest.com for details.

Capital One Arena, 601 F St. NW; Sun., 7:30 p.m., $55-$275.

Justin Timberlake’s first self-reinvention was from boy-band heartthrob to solo pop star. This year, he decided to write a new chapter of his life that would ostensibly trade Hollywood glitz for his humble Tennessean beginnings. The result was his “Man of the Woods” album.

Described by Timberlake as “Americana with 808s,” his fusion of arena pop and funk with down-home lyrics was met with lukewarm reviews. Still, Timberlake is nothing if not a well-oiled machine of infinite star power.

STAGE

‘Translations’ What’s in a name? In the play “Translations,” a British effort to translate addresses in a fictional rural Irish village to the King’s English in 1833 incites centuries-old tensions — along with existential questions about politics, the place we call home and language. Matt Torney, Studio Theatre’s Belfast-born associate artistic director, directs this play from acclaimed Irish playwright Brian Friel. Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; Wed. through April 22, $52-$85.

GETTY IMAGES

Here are just some of the ways Anders Osborne has performed in the D.C. area in the past couple of years: with his regular touring band; backed by North Mississippi Allstars; as part of songwriters collective Southern Soul Assembly; and as a duo with Jackie Greene.

This time around, the Swedishborn, New Orleans-based singersongwriter will perform solo. That means acoustic tunes from across his 20-plus years of recording, new ones he’s still working on and some witty, self-deprecating banter. The Hamilton, 600 14th

He’s still a good boy

Netflix’s earnest ‘Benji’ reboot is here to save family movie night STREAMING It’s been a mere 14 years since the last “Benji” movie. But in dog years, that’s an eternity.

“Benji,” which lands on Netflix on Friday, is an earnest attempt to rekindle the most earnest of film franchises, which dried up with “Benji: Off the Leash!” in 2004. In an entertainment world more cacophonous than a kennel, bringing back such an exceedingly wholesome creature is a kind of a test: Can the humble, wordless tricks of a mongrel born and bred in the ’70s still charm young viewers?

“Benji” is a remake of Joe Camp’s 1974 original, an independently released film (all the studios passed) made as scrappily as its mangy mutt star, played by the then-veteran pup Higgins, co-star of “Petticoat

17

Junction.” Yet “Benji” became a bona fide pop culture sensation and the year’s 10th-biggest box office hit, ranking among the likes of “Blazing Saddles,” “Young Frankenstein” and “The Godfather Part II.” But the appeal of a heroic pooch is, of course, eternal.

There remains no better way to separate the wheat from the chaff of humanity than the moral calculus offered up by dog movies: The good are those who are kind to canines; the bad are those who aren’t. Simple as that. Unlike that prissy Lassie or that showpony terrier from “The Artist,” Benji is beloved because he’s a flea bag off the streets. Benji is Every Dog, with just a touch more training.

“Benji” is written and directed

by Brandon Camp, son of Joe Camp, and he’s aimed to preserve much of his father’s template. The location has been switched from Texas to New Orleans. The single parent skeptical of adopting a

stray is now an EMT mom (Kiele Sanchez) instead of a dad. But the basic formula is much the same, down to even the inclusion of Charlie Rich’s original theme, “I Feel Love.” A brother and sister pair (Gabriel Bateman and Darby Camp, unrelated to the director) get caught in a pickle and Benji comes to the rescue.

This is a movie about a dog that not only thoroughly understands English but also grasps the importance of forensic evidence in a police investigation. And yet “Benji” is less believable when the superdog isn’t around.

There’s an implausible kidnapping plot, some rather grating and overacted family dramatics and villains who appear to be going for a record in cliche ne’er-do-welling.

But the dog is, as ever, irresistibly winning. For those looking for the most benign family-friendly entertainment, the nostalgic and corny “Benji” will do the trick. JAKE COYLE (AP)

“Because those who forget the pasta are condemned to reheat it?” @AEDWARDSLEVY, puzzling out what

Frank Bruni meant in his latest New York Times column, “Why Pasta Is the Answer to Trump.” Some really didn’t get what Bruni meant. ”I have read this article 4 times and I still for the life of me cannot figure out how the f--- pasta is the answer to Trump, but as someone who enjoys spaghetti I guess I support this?” @dominicknero tweeted.

“Somebody at the NY Post has been waiting for months to do this and I am excited for that person.” @SASKIAHENN, tweeting about the New York Post’s Wednesday cover headline, “Worst Rex He Ever Had,” after President Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. The cover was a cheeky reference to a 1990 cover that featured the headline “Best Sex I’ve Ever Had,” a quote attributed to Marla Maples, who was rumored to be Trump’s mistress at the time and later became his second wife.

“HELLO MEN: PLEASE KINDLY STOP EXPLAINING TO ME WHY MATT SMITH WAS PAID MORE. SHE WAS THE CROWN. GOODBYE.” @ALANNABENNETT, tweeting after Netflix producers acknowledged this week that Claire Foy, who played Queen Elizabeth II — the titular character — in Netflix’s “The Crown,” was paid less than Matt Smith, who played her husband.

“Do you wanna build a snowman? Or push a truck out of a drift?” @ANNIE_PARKER, tweeting a play on the lyrics of the “Frozen” song “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” in reaction to the viral video clip of a drag queen dressed as Princess Elsa pushing a Boston police wagon out of a snow bank Tuesday night. @chadgarland tweeted what Boston’s Elsa might have been thinking: “The cold nevah bothahd me anyway.”

CAREFUL

Media-trained person avoids possible offense

Ugh, and he left without settling the tab Justin Timberlake celebrated the beginning of his “Man of the Woods” tour by handing out shots at the end of his show on Tuesday in Toronto.

According to TMZ, the singer concluded the show by passing out shots to his band and to some audience members, toasting to the crowd, to someone who had a baby on the way and to “motherf---ing Drake,” a Toronto native. (EXPRESS)

In an interview for Vogue’s April issue, Kendall Jenner addressed long-standing rumors that she is gay. “I think it’s because I’m not like all my other sisters, who are like, ‘Here’s me and my boyfriend!’ ” she said, speculating on why the rumors persist.

“I don’t think I have a bisexual or gay bone in my body, but I don’t know! Who knows?! I’m all down for experience — not against it whatsoever — but I’ve never been there before. Also, I know I have kind of a … male energy? But I don’t want to say that wrong, because I’m not transgender or anything. But I have a tough energy. I move differently. But to answer your question: I’m not gay.” (EXPRESS)

Three months after Prince George reportedly asked Santa Claus for a police car, the young British royal is still “obsessed” with police.

According to Vanity Fair, George’s father, Prince William, spoke at a reception Tuesday to a British police commissioner, who joked, “We are recruiting, actually, so if George and Charlotte are keen?” William replied, “[George] is obsessed, actually, by the police — cars, toys, everything.”
