Man makes the most of his time in the (police helicopter) spotlight

Unclear how it works as revenge, but his pettiness is commendable

Burn the house down and move to another state. It’s the only way.

A suspect pursued by the California Highway Patrol near Los Angeles surrendered Tuesday night, but performed a 10-second breakdance before being cuffed. The chase began near Calabasas and headed east into Los Angeles, then north to the San Fernando Valley. A CHP cruiser finally bumped the car and spun it out. The driver got out with hands up. As the scene was illuminated by a helicopter’s spotlight, the driver suddenly busted a move. (AP)

A Santa Rosa, Calif., man forced to lower his fence responded by displaying startlingly lifelike nude mannequins in his yard, The Press-Democrat reported Tuesday. Jason Windus got a 6-foot fence so his dogs could run free. After a neighbor complained, the city made him reduce it to 3 feet.

So Windus got out the immodest mannequins and posed them in an unusual garden party that can easily be seen over his new, lower fence. (EXPRESS)

page three A more swim-friendly Potomac REGION Denis Crean swims in the Potomac River two times a week.

He takes others in, too, to teach them techniques for traversing the open water.

The most common response when he tells people, he says, is shock: “You go swimming where?!”

But those who monitor and patrol the river say getting people back into the water has always been the goal. To that end, the Potomac Riverkeeper Network announced Tuesday it will monitor water quality weekly from six points along the river using a floating lab built into a 42-foot boat called the Sea Dog. The data will be publicly released and uploaded to Swim Guide, a website and app that tracks weather and water quality for about 7,000 beaches around the world. Swim Guide relies on data from water samples to issue color-coded ratings for waterways. Green means good.

Red means bad.

donated boat, the Potomac River was rated red for no-go — based on a September 2018 water sample.

In the District, the Department of Health bars swimming in the river. It’s not outlawed in Virginia or Maryland.

But, as Potomac riverkeeper Dean Naujoks says, no one knows what the river quality is day-today or even week-to-week.

“They do a weekly swim out of here, and we start getting calls

“We found really no better utility for this boat ... than to contribute it to the riverkeepers.”

RETIRED NAVY ADM. J. PAUL REASON,

a four-star admiral who served for more than 30 years. He designed the Sea Dog more than a decade ago and donated the boat to the Potomac Riverkeeper Network.

from people, like, ‘How safe is the river out here?’ And the truth is, there is no data. There’s no bacteria monitoring here,” Naujoks says. “We just felt it was really important that the public know when they’re getting on tubes and water skis and paddle boards and falling in.”

That’s where the Sea Dog comes in. Using a mobile laboratory given to the organization by an anonymous donor, the riverkeepers and a band of volunteers will test the water for a variety of things, including temperature, pH level and turbidity. The most important metric, Naujoks says, will be bacteria readings.

The organization will monitor water quality at six sites — two in Virginia, one in Maryland and three in the District — and the riverkeepers hope that number will grow over time.

With the help of the boat, the lab and regular water readings, advocates hope to turn the Potomac’s image around.

Instead of hearing shock and disgust when he tells people he goes swimming in the Potomac, Crean says, he looks forward to the day when no one will have to think twice about getting in the water. MARISSA J. LANG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Bowser unveils 2020 budget District spending plan calls for more money to help shore up city’s affordable housing Mayor Muriel Bowser said in her annual address on Monday that affordable housing will be a top priority.

BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday proposed a fiscal 2020 budget that would pump additional dollars into affordable housing while cutting spending in other areas, a balancing act officials said is needed because of revenue growth that is slower than expected.

The mayor is proposing a $15.5 billion spending plan for the fiscal year that starts June 1, a 7 percent increase over the current $14.5 billion budget.

The D.C. Council must pass a budget by the end of May. Revenue growth is less than expected, in part due to a cooling economy and the 35-day federal shutdown that hurt retail, hotels, restaurants and other businesses across the city.

The mayor is including about $129 million in spending cuts in her budget proposal but city officials declined to specify them before the budget’s release. They said there would be no mass layoffs or elimination of major programs.

“It was a very difficult budget season for us, one of the harder ones in the five budgets that we’ve worked on here in this administration,” said City Administrator Rashad Young, citing a $47 million revenue loss from the federal shutdown that ended in January.

“We think this is a responsible and prudent budget, given the revenue circumstances.”

Many of the major changes are meant to shore up affordable

housing in an increasingly expensive city that had the highest intensity of gentrification in the nation, according to a study released this week.

As she already announced in her State of the District address Monday evening, Bowser wants to spend an additional $55 million in programs to create or preserve affordable housing.

“We are very focused on housing,” Bowser told the council during a budget presentation.

“What we heard from residents across the city is that is the most significant pinch point.”

To pay for this and other priorities, the mayor wants to increase the deed recordation and transfer taxes from 1.45 percent to 2.5 percent on commercial properties worth more than $2 million. Officials estimate that would raise $79 million next year.

Taxes on residential real estate would not be affected. Her budget also declines to implement a $25 million commercial property tax cut authorized last year by the D.C. Council.

Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, D, said he was “very disappointed” by the plan to increase commercial property taxes.

“It’s a too-easy way to fund popular programs. We have had an opportunity to excel in the region given our stable tax rates, and I think that this move is counterproductive,” Mendelson said. “The reason why the District is booming is our revenues from commercial property have increased phenomenally and that’s because of the stability in our tax structure.”

Bowser is also calling for funding to hire more law enforcement as the city grapples with a spike in homicides. The budget includes increases of $3.5 million to hire 45 paramedics and others to staff new ambulances, $3 million to hire 70 police officers and $2.5 million in grants for violence prevention programs.

local General Assembly OKs minimum pay measure with veto-proof vote MARYLAND The Maryland General Assembly gave final approval Wednesday to raising the state’s minimum wage from $10.10 to $15 an hour by 2025.

Democrats who control the legislature agreed to compromise legislation and voted to send the measure to Gov. Larry Hogan.

The Republican governor strongly criticized the measure Monday,

saying it would “cost us jobs, make us incapable of competing with other states in the region and which would devastate our state’s economy,� but the House and Senate passed the bill with enough votes to override a veto.

The minimum wage would increase to $11 in January. It would then go up 75 cents a year to $14 in 2024, and then reach $15 the following year. “This bill is not perfect,� said Sen. James Rosapepe, a Democrat, adding that the measure doesn’t raise incomes as much, as quickly or for as many people

The bill gives companies with fewer than 15 employees more time to phase in the increase.

After reaching $11 next year, the minimum wage would go up 60 cents a year for small businesses, rising to $14.50 in 2024 before reaching $15 in July 2026.

Opponents said the measure would reduce jobs, especially for young people, who need a first job to help build a rĂŠsumĂŠ. “The unemployment rate will go up. Businesses and mom-andpop shops will leave our state,â€? said Sen. Johnny Ray Salling, a Republican. BRIAN WITTE (AP)

U.K.’s May asks a wary EU to delay Brexit until June

PUP-ULARITY CONTEST

Top dogs list shuffles, but Labs still rule

GREAT BRITAIN Exactly 1,000 days after Britain voted to leave the European Union, and nine days before it is scheduled to walk out the door, Prime Minister Theresa May hit the pause button Wednesday, asking the bloc to postpone the U.K.’s departure until June 30.

EU leaders, who are exasperated by Britain’s Brexit melodrama, will only grant the extension if May can win the U.K. Parliament’s approval next week for her twice-rejected Brexit deal. Otherwise, the U.K. is facing a chaotic “no-deal” departure, or a much longer delay that May says she will not allow while she is in power.

May said it was “a matter of great personal regret” that she had to seek a delay to Brexit.

In a televised statement from 10 Downing St., May said she shared the frustration felt by many Britons who have “had enough” of endless Brexit debates and infighting. She blamed Parliament for the deadlock, and warned that if lawmakers did not back her deal it would cause “irreparable damage to public trust.”

In a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk, May acknowledged that the Brexit process “clearly will not be

Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May spoke in the House of Commons on Wednesday, telling lawmakers she will not accept a longer delay of Brexit.

completed before 29 March, 2019” — the date fixed in law two years ago for Britain’s departure.

May asked to delay Britain’s withdrawal until June 30, and said she would set out her reasons to EU leaders at a summit in Brussels today.

Her long-shot plan is to hold a third vote in Parliament on her deal next week, then use the EUgranted extension to pass the legislation needed for an orderly departure from the EU. “As prime minister I am not prepared to delay Brexit any further than June 30,” May told the House of Commons — a hint she could quit if Britain is forced to accept a longer pause.

Tusk said he thought a short delay to Brexit is possible, but “conditional on positive vote on the withdrawal agreement in the House of Commons.”

May’s request — and Tusk’s response — leaves Britain and the bloc facing Brexit uncertainty right up to the deadline for departure. Tusk made clear what other EU leaders have long hinted: The EU is unwilling to give Britain more time unless the government can find a way out of the Brexit impasse. But he did not say whether the EU would be willing to grant a long delay to Brexit if Britain changed course and abandoned May’s deal.

nation+world Judge says oil and gas plans violate law by ignoring climate impact COURTS A federal judge ruled late Tuesday that the Interior Department violated federal law by failing to take into account the climate impact of its oil and gas leasing in the West.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras of Washington marks the first time the Trump administration has been held to account for the

climate impact of its energydominance agenda, and it could have sweeping implications for the president’s plan to boost fossil fuel production. Contreras concluded that Interior’s Bureau of Land Management “did not sufficiently consider climate change� when making decisions to auction off federal land in Wyoming to oil and gas drilling in 2015 and 2016. The judge temporarily blocked drilling on roughly 300,000 acres of land in the state.

In the decision, Contreras — an Obama appointee — faulted the

agency’s environmental assessments as inadequate because it did not detail how individual drilling projects contributed to the nation’s overall carbon output.

Since greenhouse gas emissions are driving climate change, the judge wrote, these analyses did not provide policymakers and the public with a sufficient understanding of drilling’s impact, as required under the National Environmental Policy Act. Contreras did not void the leases, but instead ordered BLM to redo its analysis of hundreds of projects.

Wholesale devastation Hundreds dead and missing across Zimbabwe, Mozambique in Cyclone Idai’s wake

Families conduct traditional rituals Wednesday at a mass grave for cyclone victims in Chimanimani, Zimbabwe.

CHIMANIMANI, ZIMBABWE When the mudslide struck, students at the St. Charles Lwanga School had nowhere to go. So they waited for days with their classmates’ corpses, hoping for rescue.

The survivors huddled together in dining halls and classrooms at their boarding school, waiting out the aftermath of the devastation wrought by Cyclone Idai in Mozambique and neighboring countries — and waiting for help as they mourned two students and a security guard who were crushed to death on Friday evening.

Two days passed before a group of students finally braved the treacherous conditions and walked for miles, taking turns carrying the dead in makeshift coffins until they reached safety.

More than 200 people in Mozambique, 98 in Zimbabwe and 120 in Malawi have been declared dead since Idai came ashore near the central Mozambican port city of Beira on Friday, destroying infrastructure across the city of half a million.

The storm brought severe rain and winds exceeding 100 mph, and road and weather conditions slowed the disaster response.

Although aid is now trickling in, boulders from mudslides are still blocking some roads.

Floods washed away bridges that connect a number of the most affected areas, forcing military and aid workers to move by foot.

Many did not evacuate before the storm came ashore. Houses are destroyed, and survivors had to scramble to their roofs and hope to be rescued.

Nyevero Sinyabuwe survived the storm’s arrival in Zimbabwe, but two of her children were killed when a boulder rolled on top of their hut in Ngangu township. She called for help, she said, “but it was too late.”

Stranded residents gather Wednesday on the stands of a stadium in a flooded area of Buzi in central Mozambique.

Hundreds of people are missing and the death count is expected to rise in all the countries affected, as rescue workers gain access to remote areas cut off by rain, flooding and damaged roads.

Aerial photos of the affected regions show total devastation, with survivors restricted to the few “islands” of high ground, their homes submerged around them.

“We understand there are bodies which are floating,” local government minister July Moyo

No relief from rains Torrential rains were expected to continue today, and floodwaters were still rising across a region already devastated by Cyclone Idai, according to aid groups trying to get food, water and clothing to desperate survivors. It will be days before Mozambique’s inundated plains drain toward the Indian Ocean and even longer before the full scale of the devastation is known. (AP)

POLITICS In refusing to release his tax returns, President Trump bucked decades of tradition and set off a Democrat hunt to obtain them.

Now a number of statehouses are looking at making their release a condition of the 2020 presidential election: Show us your tax returns, or you can’t be on the ballot.

Eighteen states have considered legislation this year that would require presidential and vice presidential candidates to post their tax returns to appear on the ballot during a primary or general election, according to data from the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Proponents of the bills, such as the one passed by the Washington state Senate this week, say they are aimed at increasing transparency and returning to the “norm” of candidates releasing their financial records. But Democratic lawmakers behind some of the legislation have admitted they are also very much about Trump, which raises legal and political questions about how far states can — or should — go in regulating who appears on their ballots.

While Democrats appear to be driving these bills, Dan Weiner, a senior counsel for the Brennan Center for Justice’s Democracy Program, said there is bipartisan support more generally for increasing transparency around presidential candidates’ finances. KAYLA EPSTEIN (TWP)

EU, Canada to break with U.S. air safety regulators and do own review of Boeing 737 Max

THURSDAY | 03.21.2019 | EXPRESS | 13

nation+world Trump’s relentless attacks on McCain draw GOP backlash WASHINGTON President Trump continued Wednesday to attack the late Sen. John McCain, even as a growing number of Republican senators rose to McCain’s defense, calling him a war hero and a patriot — although most were careful not to criticize the president directly.

During a White House event at a manufacturing facility in Lima, Ohio, on Wednesday, Trump lashed out at McCain, saying, “I endorsed him at his request, and I gave him the kind of funeral he wanted, which as president I had to approve.”

“I don’t care about this,” Trump continued. “I didn’t get a thank-you. That’s OK. We sent him on the way. But I wasn’t a fan of John McCain.”

Comments like Wednesday’s and those that have preceded it are too much for Sen. Johnny Isakson to take. The Georgia Republican took to the airwaves in a rare moment for his party: a stinging rebuke of Trump.

“It’s deplorable what he said,” Isakson said Wednesday on Georgia Public Broadcasting, as he decried the public teardown of McCain, a former Navy pilot who spent years in brutal captivity in Vietnam. His comments followed an interview with the Bulwark, a conservative news website.

“I just want to lay it on the line,

President Trump has repeatedly criticized the late Sen. John McCain.

that the country deserves better, the McCain family deserves better,” he said. “Nothing is more important than the integrity of the country and those who fought

and risked their lives for all of us.”

Trump unloaded on the legacy of McCain, who died of brain cancer last year, in several tweets this week. On Tuesday, he attacked McCain’s vote against repealing Obamacare.

“I think that’s a disgrace, plus there are other things,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “I was never a fan of John McCain, and I never will be.”

Trump’s attacks appear to have unleashed trolls targeting the McCain family. Soon after the president’s Oval Office remarks, Cindy McCain posted a profanitylaced message she received on Facebook in which a woman called her late husband “traitorous” and celebrated his death. ALEX HORTON

CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND | Mourners carry a coffin containing the body of a victim of Friday’s mosque shootings for burial at Memorial Park Cemetery on Wednesday. Six victims were buried Wednesday, and police have formally identified and released the remains of 21 of the 50 killed. Also Wednesday, police said they believe the gunman was on his way to a third attack when officers ran him off the road and arrested him.

HEALTH The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday approved the first drug specifically developed for severe depression after childbirth, Sage Therapeutics’ Zulresso, an IV drug given over 2½ days.

Sage said Zulresso will cost $34,000 without insurance, plus costs for staying in a hospital or infusion center. Whether the treatment gets covered by insurance is determined by each insurance company, which also sets the out-of-pocket costs, depending on the plan.

In a company-funded study of new mothers with moderate or severe postpartum depression, half the women given Zulresso saw depression end within 2½ days, about double the rate of those in a comparison group given dummy treatments.

Postpartum depression affects about 400,000 American women a year. It often ends on its own within a couple of weeks, but it can continue for months or even years. It can be treated with antidepressants, which can take six to eight weeks to work and don’t help everyone, or with counseling.

Zulresso’s active ingredient, brexanolone, mimics a derivative of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone, levels of which can plunge after childbirth. The infusion helps restore normal levels and emotions, according to Sage Chief Executive Dr. Jeff Jonas.

The pressure on coach Mark Turgeon rose with last week’s early loss in the Big Ten tournament.

ROAD TRIP TO D.C.

Philly fans will be here with Harper

MARYLAND VS. BELMONT | 3:10 P.M. TODAY, TRUTV

Terrapins hope to end long drought NCAA TOURNAMENT After graduating from St. John’s in the District, Anthony Cowan Jr. arrived at Maryland, made the starting lineup as a freshman and got to take part in the event he grew up watching.

In March 2017, Cowan was excited simply to be at the NCAA Tournament, as his team faced Xavier in the first round. Two years later, when Cowan looks back on that game, he sighs.

He remembers Xavier switching to a zone defense that Maryland couldn’t figure out. He remembers the grim locker room after the 76-65 loss. And he remembers thinking, “The next time I get here [I’m] going to try to leave my mark.”

Since that day, Cowan has started 64 games at guard and scored 1,000-plus points. But he hasn’t won a postseason game.

Now that he’s back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time

since his freshman year, he and the sixth-seeded Terps — who face No. 11 Belmont today in an East Region game in Jacksonville, Fla. — can grab a postseason win for the first time since 2016, ending a losing streak in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments that fuels criticism of the program and coach Mark Turgeon.

“It is what it is,” Turgeon said Wednesday. “You hate that you didn’t take care of that in Chicago [at the Big Ten tournament last week] to get everybody to quit talking about it, but we didn’t. So hopefully we’ll do it Thursday.”

Only the two seniors on the roster, former walk-on Andrew Terrell and forward Ivan Bender, were part of the Sweet 16 team in 2016, but neither had considerable roles on the court then or now.

Cowan is the only member of this year’s eight-man rotation who has played in an NCAA Tournament

“Unfortunately, it gets pointed out.

It’s today’s world.

It’s only been two seasons.”

MARK TURGEON, Maryland’s coach, on the team’s losing streak in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments

game, the loss against Xavier.

Last year, Maryland missed the NCAA Tournament after a 19-win campaign. Cowan didn’t watch the games, but he saw students tuned in on their phones during class.

“I just went back to taking notes,” Cowan said. “I couldn’t

watch. It’s terrible.”

Last week in the Big Ten tournament, Maryland lost its first game to Nebraska, the No. 13 seed and a team that finished the regular season with six conference wins and only six scholarship players.

Maryland freshman guard Aaron Wiggins said the loss showed the players not to “look at a team and judge them based off a number of players or the size or the athleticism or the skill.”

Turgeon, who is 8-11 in the postseason at Maryland, surely will remind his players of that today before they face Belmont, a low-profile school that had to win a “First Four” game to make the field. EMILY GIAMBALVO

When Bryce Harper returns to D.C. in a Phillies uniform April 2, he’ll get lusty cheers from at least one section of Nationals Park. The operator of Phans of Philly, a company that organizes travel packages to away games for Philadelphia fans, bought 500 lower-level tickets in right field for Harper’s first visit. “We’re almost sold out,” Joe DiBiaggio said. “We have 10 buses already filled.” DiBiaggio last year organized road trips for Eagles fans, including the regularseason finale at FedEx Field, where Philly fans made up more than half of the crowd. That type of scene was common at Nationals Park when the Phillies visited the District a decade ago, before the NL East’s balance of power moved down I-95. (TWP)

VIRGINIA’S CHANCE TO WIN IT ALL

The likelihood of Virginia winning the NCAA Tournament, according to college basketball analyst Ken Pomeroy (kenpom.com). That makes the Cavaliers (29-3) his favorite in the men’s tournament. They open in Columbia, S.C., against 16th seed Gardner-Webb University on Friday (3:10 p.m., truTV). Gardner-Webb (23-11) of Boiling Springs, N.C., won the Big South tournament. Pomeroy gives Gonzaga (15.5 percent) the second-best chance to win it all, followed by Duke (12.9) and Michigan State (10.3).

The D.C. organization’s revival gives a boost to the local jazz scene MUSIC In late 2017, journalist Giovanni Russonello and bassist Luke Stewart met at a cafe for a serious conversation. CapitalBop, their grassroots D.C. jazz advocacy organization, was in an alarming slowdown.

“It was an existential crisis,” Russonello says.

The pair had founded the

nonprofit in 2010 as a one-stop shop for jazz in the District. Its website (of which Russonello is the editor) offers a calendar of gigs around town, concert and album reviews and interviews with local artists. CapitalBop also presents concerts (Stewart’s end of the business), bringing in artists from New York and elsewhere. However, its real focus is on local musicians, offering them paying gigs and opportunities to build an audience.

Then I would do a quick walk through Anacostia, which is my heart. There’s Mahogany Books, We Act Radio, Check It and then I could get a smoothie from Turning Natural.

After that, I would jump into the future. I would love to see the 11th Street Bridge Park fully formed. I would fly over on Falkor [the luckdragon] from “The Neverending Story.” I would see the amphitheater, the park, how people interact with the space.

D.C.’s comedy insider

Reese Waters explores the art of laughs for his Kennedy Center series COMEDY Not long after graduating from Columbia University in 2002, Reese Waters told his parents he wanted to pursue a career in comedy. They were less than enthusiastic.

“My parents said, ‘You literally could have dropped out of the eighth grade and done comedy,’ and they’re not wrong about that,” Waters says. “But I think my education has really helped. Being a comedian, and having these insights and telling people about them, it’s like being an armchair sociologist.”

It wasn’t until Waters started getting on television — including 2011 appearances on the “Late Show With David Letterman” and “The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson” — that the D.C. native’s parents got on board.

Then, in 2018, he became the host of WUSA9’s new morning show, “Get Up DC!” But it’s Waters’ latest gig, a Kennedy Center residency that launched in January, that really sealed the deal.

“The Kennedy Center — you can’t beat that prestige factor,” Waters, 38, says.

“Say What?! Friday Night With Reese Waters,” which takes place on the fourth Friday of every month, isn’t a typical comedy show. It kicks off with a roughly 40-minute set by a guest comic followed by an onstage interview with Waters. (The featured comedian this Friday is Nore Davis, whose TV credits include “Inside Amy Schumer” and “Conan.”)

“We talk about their career.

We talk about whether comedy was something they always wanted to do, and we talk about what people always want to know: how much of their set is actually true,” Waters says.

You might think that discussing how jokes are made would

“We talk about what people always want to know: how much of their set is actually true.”

REESE WATERS, whose monthly series at the Kennedy Center includes chats with the featured comedians after they perform

rob them of their humor, but Waters says it actually makes them funnier.

“The jokes that you hear in a comedian’s act are the finished versions,” he says. “They are simplified, efficient versions of a larger, more complicated idea.

When we have the conversations afterwards, we get into some of the material that was cut for whatever reason. So it provides context and even more comedy.”

Recalling a joke’s inspiration often uncovers funny insights or

anecdotes that were lost along the way, Waters says. These explorations can give comedians fresh perspectives on well-worn bits — and they can even inspire new ones.

“I know a lot of my material comes from conversations I have with other comedians, including the ones I have onstage,” Waters says.

Waters’ comedic version of “Inside the Actors Studio” has been a hit, particularly with a demographic he’s not used to seeing at his shows.

“There are definitely a good amount of middle-aged people and retirement-aged people,” he says. “In fact, a lot of the people who have become devoted fans of the show have been in that age group. I don’t know why — maybe I would have been really big in the ’70s.”

weekendpass A family’s fortunes rise and fall in Theater J’s production of “The Jewish Queen Lear.”

Yiddish theater’s mother of a role STAGE Last year, Theater J launched the Yiddish Theater Lab, aiming to revive important — though neglected — Yiddish works.

Now Theater J is mounting the project’s first fully staged production: the English-language world premiere of “The Jewish Queen Lear.”

Jacob Gordin’s play, originally titled “Mirele Efros” when it was written in 1898, is about Mirele, a wealthy businesswoman. After her children turn against her, Mirele hands over the business she made great as well as the family home, leaving her wealth behind to live on her own. The title role was performed by nearly every noted actress working in Yiddish theater in the early 20th century, and the newly translated

play gives viewers a good idea of the depth and breadth of Yiddish theater.

“What most people think of as traditional Yiddish theater is probably a far cry from what the Yiddish theater was,” says Adam Immerwahr, who is directing Theater J’s production and led the launch of the Yiddish Theater Lab. “Yiddish theater was a dominant cultural art form for about 40 years in America, from 1880 or so until 1920, and it was different kinds of theaters: vaudeville, musicals, serious dramas.”

What bound the productions together wasn’t genre or topic, but simply the language. Yiddish was commonly spoken among European Jews in the early 20th century; when immigrants arrived to the U.S., they brought it with them.

“You had this series of intellectuals who fled Europe and said, ‘I want to write plays and help shape the world around

‘The Jewish Queen Lear’ delivers more than just a bissel of Shakespeare

me,’ ” Immerwahr says. “And they quickly realized, ‘Well, if I make a play in Russian or Polish or Ukrainian or German, it can only be available to the other Jews who speak that language.

But if I make plays in Yiddish, it can be available to any Jew.’ ” Another defining quality of

Yiddish theater — as evidenced in “The Jewish Queen Lear” — is that the characters are, well, simply Jewish. “Their Judaism is not at stake, it’s not under threat,” Immerwahr says. “It’s not like they’re Jewish but the Russians are coming to kill them.

Or the Germans are coming to

kill them. Or the Spanish are coming to kill them.”

That means the stories become more universal, with an emphasis on themes rather than cultural or religious identity, Immerwahr says. “[‘The Jewish Queen Lear’] has these elements of what makes a story universal, classic and lasting,” he says. “They make this play sing the way all great classics sing to us now.”

“The Jewish Queen Lear” breaks the borscht belt mold that many people think shaped Yiddish theater. “What’s coolest about it is that [the play] blows your idea of what the Yiddish theater might be,” Immerwahr says. “You might say, ‘This looks a lot more like Shakespeare than I thought it might.’ ” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Ready for a jolt of Direct Current?

The Kennedy Center is letting its hair down for the second season of Direct Current, a two-week celebration of contemporary culture that begins Sunday. “We hope that people will embrace the weird with us and hold our hand and take an adventure with all this new work, this new art,” says Jamie Broumas, the center’s director of classical and new music programming. “It’s not that the Kennedy Center has never done avant-garde or new work before, but the idea of the festival is to put a spotlight on it. It’s part of the vision to be a vibrant, creative space that’s a catalyst, that’s inspiring to artists.” The 2019 edition of Direct Current, running through April 7, takes place at the center (2700 F St. NW) and across the city at partner venues, including the Phillips Collection and Dupont Underground. For starters, Broumas recommends these five events. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) 1

Hugar

Millennium Stage, Kennedy Center; Sun., 6 p.m., free.

Each night during Direct Current, a free performance will occur on the Millennium Stage. First up: Icelandic post-rock duo Hugar — Bergur Þórisson and Pétur Jónsson, who began writing music together in 2013. They’ve worked with a slew of popular Icelandic artists, including Björk and Ólafur Arnalds, and their music is frequently inspired by their country’s terrain (and its forwardthinking approach to the arts). “The Icelandic music scene is on the

forefront of the avant-garde scene,” Broumas says. Other performers hitting the Millennium Stage include Liberated Muse (Wednesday) — an all-female, multidisciplinary arts collective founded by District native Khadijah Ali-Coleman — and J Hoard (April 4), who performs protest and freedom songs.

Brooklyn Youth Chorus: ‘Lovestate’ Concert Hall, Kennedy Center; April 1, 7:30 p.m., $25-$59.

One of Broumas’ goals for the festival was to curate events that

local audiences might otherwise not have a chance to see. As an example, she points to the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, a collective of culturally and socioeconomically diverse 12- to 18-year-old New Yorkers — young musicians from the poorest to the richest neighborhoods — who are given the opportunity to collaborate with classical composers. “Lovestate” is the third installment in the chorus’ “Silent Voices” trilogy, which examines issues like race, gender and gentrification. “I love this piece, because it gives voice to children’s concerns and helps empower them,” Broumas says. “It’s mixed media, very visual, with the children narrating and singing.”

3 Phantom Limb Company: ‘Falling Out’ Terrace Theater, Kennedy Center; April 4 & 5, 7:30 p.m., $29.

Butoh — a theatrical Japanese dance form that developed in the wake of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings — inspired this piece by the New York-based Phantom Limb Company. “Butoh is an artistic response to both the

physical and emotional anguish of the bombings,” Broumas says. “It’s a very unique dance style — people sort of shaking uncontrollably.”

She describes “Falling Out,” which explores the suffering caused by the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011, as breathtaking and heartfelt.

The performance was created in collaboration with butoh master Dai Matsuoka, who will travel to the District from Japan to attend the event.

4 Caroline Shaw and Friends Terrace Gallery, Kennedy Center; April 5, 9 p.m., $25-$39.

While planning the festival, Broumas asked Caroline Shaw — a New Yorkbased musician and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music — what she would do if she had an intimate event space for an evening. The Kennedy Center was prepared to help her achieve whatever vision she conjured. The result is … well, it’s still unclear. “We’re not quite sure what it’s going to look like,” Broumas says. “Sometimes it’s like riding a bronco — you unleash the creative force, and then you’re along

for the ride.” Shaw will be joined by a handful of her bandmates from Roomful of Teeth, an edgy vocal ensemble that experiments with techniques like Tuvan throat singing, whispered speech and Appalachian yodeling.

5

Du Yun with OK Miss

Terrace Gallery, Kennedy Center; April 6, 9 p.m., $25-$39.

If you’re unfamiliar with Du Yun, know this: “On the creative spectrum, she’s out of her mind,” Broumas says. “She’s just a risktaker like no other, an untethered force of nature. And I’m assured that she’s going to wear something equally outrageous to this concert.” Du Yun, a Chinese-born composer and performer, won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Music for “Angel’s Bone,” an opera about human trafficking. She’s lauded for continually reinventing herself, fusing orchestral music, theater and electronics, in addition to other styles and mediums. “She speaks English as a second language, and likes to say that music is her voice,” Broumas says. “It’s a language that she feels transcends language.”

Mahogany Books coowner Derrick Young, left, keeps his store heavily stocked with children’s books.

These stores are on the same page For decades, experts have been predicting the death of small, independent bookstores.

millennium saw the rise of online bookselling, which offers far more titles and lower prices

After a decade of operating Mahogany Books as an online bookstore selling titles “for, by or about people of the African diaspora,” Derrick Young and wife Ramunda Lark Young opened a shop inside the Anacostia Arts Center in November 2017. The first bookstore east of the Anacostia River to open in more than two decades, it’s heavily stocked with materials targeted at children, which is important in a neighborhood considered a book desert. Young readers aren’t the only ones who benefit: Mahogany features a schedule of author events and networking socials. In October,

than neighborhood shops. (You know who we’re talking about, and the founder of that company also owns this newspaper.) Then came e-books, which further cut into sales. ¶ Against all odds, these stores appear to be thriving, especially in the District. Over the past three years, Washingtonians have welcomed new bookstores in every quadrant of the city. ¶ What’s fueling this growth, sellers say, is a connection with the community instead of fighting Amazon for every dime. “There’s no universe in which I can compete with online retailers,” says Ally Kirkpatrick, who opened Old Town Books in a 200-year-old building near the Potomac River in November. “Our competitive edge is events,” she says. “I feel like everybody I meet in the shop is the right kind of customer. They want to hang out and meet other book lovers.” ¶ And what distinguishes this wave of bookstores is that their individual personalities shine through what they share in common. Any bookstore is going to be eager to sell you a copy of Michelle Obama’s “Becoming,” as well as notecards or a pair of literary-themed socks. But each of these shops fills a distinct and different niche that brings its audience together. Here’s a rundown on some of the best independent bookstores in the region, both old and new.

BONNIE JO MOUNT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

As it approaches 35 years in business, Politics and Prose has become a Washington landmark.

Over that time,the store has organized a staggering number of readings, from local authors with a few dozen fans on upper Connecticut Avenue to Kamala D. Harris at a sold-out Lisner Auditorium. (J.K. Rowling signed books at the shop back in 1999.)

Several book clubs are sponsored by P&P, with themes including graphic novels, lesbian writers, travelogues and horror. Its basement cafe, The Den, is a gathering place with coffee, pastries and wine. Not content to rest on these laurels, however, Politics and Prose opened two branches, at The Wharf and Union Market, in the fall of 2017, looking beyond leafy Northwest to growing retail areas. “We were motivated by the shifting of the center of gravity from Northwest to Northeast and Southwest D.C.,” co-owner Bradley Graham says.

CALLA KESSLER (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Jake Cumsky-Whitlock and Scott Abel met while working together at Kramerbooks & Afterwords Cafe. They’ve gone out on their own with the introduction of Solid State, an open and welcoming shop that sits alongside Whole Foods on the vibrant H Street NE corridor.

Books are not necessarily arranged by topic — don’t be surprised to see “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” next to Ron Chernow’s biography of Ulysses S. Grant or the locally focused “Chocolate City” on display tables — but that only encourages shoppers to spend more time browsing. Prime seats in the front windows or at long tables encourage lingering with a cup of coffee or a craft beer. (Happy hour runs from 4 to 7 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and from 9 p.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays.)

Book clubs cover the spectrum: foreign policy, poetry and works related to Rorschach Theatre’s current season.

“I never wanted a traditional store,” says founder Angela Maria Spring.

“I wanted to play with the model.”

That’s why the New Mexico native is curating pop-up offerings of books by and about people of color at a changing variety of unexpected spaces. She has filled two large bookcases at Walls of Books, a used bookstore in Park View; curated a selection inside the bookshop at the National Museum of Women in the Arts; and chosen books for kids and adults at Toli Moli, a bodega inside Union Market. “We can take it anywhere, into any community,” she says. “It’s as big or small as you want it, but you can get a rich amount of books in there.” Most recently, she stocked a waist-high book rack inside Dio, a woman-owned wine bar on H Street NE. “For me, it’s important that the business is serving a very specific part of the community that isn’t being tapped.”

H Street NE’s Solid State Books doesn’t arrange books by topic and has a happy hour that encourages lingering.

Hooray for Books 1555 King St. Alexandria

No recommendation algorithm can beat the booksellers at Alexandria’s children’s-focused Hooray for Books. Owner Ellen Klein opened the shop in 2008 and saw it double in size in 2015. Now, “because we’re 11 years old, we’ve seen children

grow up from being in strollers to being taller than I am,” she says. “We know their names — we can say, ‘Hey, Patrick, here’s a great book for you!’ They trust us, and we make them feel vested.” Years ago, Klein started the Youth Advisory Council, which provides advance copies of books to students from elementary

school age through high school.

They read and serve as a focus group, Klein says: “They tell us, ‘Buy a lot of this one,’ or ‘Don’t buy this, no one’s going to like it.’ ”Hooray for Books has popular weekday and weekend story times, which bring in 20 to 30 kids and give parents a chance to socialize, as well as author

The line of strollers begins building well before story time in the mornings on Tuesdays and Fridays, stretching up and down the passageway outside East City Bookshop’s front doors. Inside, parents and caregivers watch as small children climb the shop’s wide stairs or settle onto the floor with a book. It’s evidence of how much East City, which opened in April 2016, has become part of the Capitol Hill community. It’s a place where residents drop in to pick up the latest best-seller or grab a cute gift, such as journals or enamel pins. A variety of book clubs include those for readers in their 20s and 30s, a social justice club, and groups just for teens and tweens. The W(h)ine & Angst Book Club is for those over 21 who want to discuss books for or about teenagers with a glass of red or white in hand.

One More Page Books 2200 N. Westmoreland St., Arlington

Independent booksellers know that authenticity will help them stand out in a crowded field. At One More Page, an 8-year-old bookstore in East Falls Church, “We’re not shy about expressing our personalities,” says store book buyer Lelia Nebeker. This comes through in a variety of ways: its Boozy Booksellers YouTube series, which finds Nebeker and store events coordinator Rebecca Speas acting silly and enjoying drinks while chatting with authors on camera; its in-store book recommendations, such as Lyndsay Faye’s “Jane Steele,” which reimagines Jane Eyre as a serial killer (“murder and feminism — that covers us,” Nebeker says); and its book clubs, including the Romance Roundtables, which pair wine tastings and Q&As with contemporary romance authors.

One More Page is also supporting the next generation of readers: It’s a co-founder and sponsor of the NoVa Teen Book Festival, a 6-year-old

Loyalty Bookstore 827 Upshur St. NW

CALLA KESSLER (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Ally Kirkpatrick never thought she’d own a bookstore, even though, she says, “I’m one of those people who’ve always been obsessed with independent bookstores.” In November, Old Town Books opened in a cozy, light-filled space near the Torpedo Factory, and it’s technically a pop-up, on a short-term lease while Kirkpatrick hunts for a permanent location, which she says she’s close to securing. Old Town Books stocks many of the generalinterest titles that appear on best-seller lists, though Kirkpatrick hopes customers stumble across titles they didn’t know they needed.

“I’ve always been surprised by what I found in small indie bookstores.

They’re so different from what I would usually read.” Regardless of the location, Kirkpatrick has big plans for Old Town Books, including a literary festival in August. She is also scheduling events that are “more than just coming and doing a reading,” such as a series called Read Write Now, which includes a discussion with an author about writing, group writing prompts and a Q&A session.

Loyalty Bookstore took over Petworth’s Upshur Street Books last month after a successful run as a pop-up shop in Silver Spring late last year.

Hannah Oliver Depp created a buzz over the holidays, launching Loyalty Bookstore as a pop-up in Silver Spring at a former barbecue restaurant, filling it with books, and a variety of giftable items from local makers, including prints and stationery. Depp, who previously worked at Politics and Prose, took on a bigger task last month: rebooting Petworth’s Upshur Street Books as Loyalty. “Communitybuilding through bookselling is my passion,” she says. “I want Loyalty to look more like Petworth. I want there to be a really diverse selection of books, but reflect the full scope of what people in Petworth love.”

On Saturdays, Depp says, a lot of the sales are what she calls “shower

A fixture in Dupont Circle for more than four decades, Kramerbooks remains one of the most important bookstores for both sides of D.C.: The political cognoscenti lined up here for the midnight release of Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury” — “It’s like Harry Potter for adults,” observed one late-night customer — while generations of Washingtonians have spent first or second dates browsing the shelves and getting to know each other over drinks and snacks at the in-house cafe. Under new owner Steven Salis, a co-founder of &pizza, Kramerbooks expanded into a neighboring storefront in 2016.

Guide to the galaxy

1 The circa 1575 painting depicts a myth about the creation of our galaxy that the ancient Romans adapted from the ancient Greeks.

The god Jupiter, flying in on the upper right, wanted to give his half-human son Hercules the gift of immortality, which could only be conferred by the breast milk of a goddess. So, while his wife Juno was sleeping, Jupiter placed baby Hercules on her breast. Juno woke up and flung the baby off of her.

In the commotion, the milk she sprayed toward the heavens became the Milky Way. “Unlike Tintoretto’s serious religious paintings, this one is humorous and joyful,” Ilchman says. “Jupiter — what an idiot. He thought he could do this to his wife and get away with it.”

With his high-concept, action-packed canvases, Jacopo Tintoretto was perhaps the Steven Spiel-

1

berg of late Renaissance painters, says Frederick Ilchman, co-curator of “Tintoretto: Artist of Renaissance Venice,” which opens Sunday at the National Gallery of Art. “His are really vigorous paintings with a lot of tumult and energy

2 To impress the international client who commissioned this painting — probably Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II — Tintoretto used expensive, vivid pigments, such as lapis lazuli for Juno’s blue blanket, Echols says. He also may have chosen the subject matter to flatter the painting’s viewers, Echols notes. “Tintoretto made this for a well-educated audience that was sophisticated about mythology, so the painting is full of abstruse references for them to get,” he says.

and surprise in them,” says Ilchman, a curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Well known during his lifetime, Tintoretto has been somewhat forgotten since — probably because his paintings tended to be enormous and nearly impossible to move, says the exhibit’s other curator, Robert Echols, an independent scholar. In

3

celebration of Tintoretto’s 500th birthday, many of his greatest works have undergone extensive restoration and will be traveling to America for the first time for this show. “We hope this exhibit will give Tintoretto the high profile he deserves with the general public,” Echols says.

3 Ancient worshippers believed the eagle served as Jupiter’s personal messenger, and this one is carrying thunderbolts, the god’s weapon of choice, Echols says. “The peacocks are there because they are Juno’s sacred animal,” he adds.

Here, these Tintoretto experts explain what’s going on in a typically dense tableau, “The Origin of the Milky Way.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) National Gallery of Art, West Building, Sixth Street and Constitution Avenue NW; Sun. through July 7, free.

In the late Renaissance, Jacopo Tintoretto became famous for his enormous, cinematic paintings.

4 The bottom third of the painting was cut off at some point, Ilchman says. “What’s missing, which we can see in an early copy, is a figure of Mother Earth with white lilies sprouting from her fingers and limbs” — flowers that were seeded by the droplets of Juno’s milk that sprayed down, Ilchman says. Poking up in the lower-right corner are fragments of foliage from the missing section of the painting. “It’s possible that someone in the royal household simply wanted a smaller painting, or wanted to fit it into a particular frame,” Ilchman says. What’s left is about 5 ½ feet by 5 feet — a mediumsize painting for Tintoretto.

to understand it.”

Among the exhibit’s profiled subjects is Balbarmaa Sukhee, who emigrated from Mongolia with her family in the late ’90s. Sukhee found work at a local sandwich shop but was determined to find greater success. She wound up graduating from George Mason University’s School of Nursing in 2008 and now works for the public health division of Arlington County’s human services department.

“Every family reflects American history in some way,” Rebhan says. “I want people to understand this commonality about this country, that everybody came from some country of origin at some point in their family history.”

In “Immigration/Assimilation,” which will have an opening ceremony at the Bozman Government Center on Thursday (5:30-7:30 p.m., free), Rebhan explores similar stories from local residents.

“Immigration/Assimilation” is the 23rd exhibit to be featured in Arlington’s Art on the ART Bus program. The bus rotates throughout the routes of Arlington’s transit system to give the exhibit the greatest exposure.

“Sometimes people feel that art goes over their head and they don’t want to go to a museum,” says Cynthia Connolly, the special projects curator who runs the program. “Since the art is on a bus, I hope [‘Immigration/Assimilation’] speaks more closely to them and they take more time

EXHIBITS Public transit commuters rarely interact with those around them, much less take the time to dig deep into their personal lives.

But aboard a bus in Arlington, passengers will be introduced to six complete strangers and get to know their entire family histories through a new exhibit.

Local artist Gail Rebhan’s “Immigration/Assimilation” presents the migration stories of six Arlington families spanning several generations through a collage of historical documents, portraits and other artifacts. Displayed simultaneously on an Arlington transit bus through summer 2020 and in the lobby of the Bozman Government Center indefinitely, the imagery is enhanced with stories written by Rebhan that trace each family’s history.

“Except for Native Americans, this country is made up of immigrants,” Rebhan says. “I really liked the idea of doing this as a public art piece and to foster empathy and understanding.”

Some of this year’s highlights include the Blossom Kite Festival (March 30), the Cherry Blast concert featuring CeeLo Green (March 30) and the annual parade down Constitution Avenue (April 13).

Matador! Soul Sounds was born in 2017 as an outlet for guitarist Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds) and drummer Alan Evans (Soulive) to blend their love of soul, funk and jazz. The band released the James Brown-esque single “We Got What You Need” ahead of this week’s tour. Union Stage, 740 Water St. SW; Sun., 8:30 p.m., $20-$30.

MONDAY

Ariana Grande Capital One Arena, 601 F St. NW; Mon., 8 p.m., $234.95-$274.95.

There’s no pop star better suited for the everythingall-the-time era than Ariana Grande, who dropped two chart-topping albums in the span of six months. First up was 2018’s effervescent, lifeaffirming “Sweetener,” animated by the near-future production of Pharrell Williams. Then she returned in February with an even more zeitgeist-friendly album, “thank u, next,” finding herself more empowered and hip-hop-inspired than before.

Wed. FESTIVALS

Underground Comedy Fest Underground Comedy’s annual festival returns with stand-up headliners Todd Barry, Ramy Youssef and Bonnie McFarlane.

Running Wednesday through March 30, it also includes a brunch show (“Bottomless Mimos-ha’s”) and local showcases. Various locations, times and prices, Wed. through March 30; go to undergroundcomedydc.com for details.

Smith explained she was troubled by hateful internet comments about A-listers such as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Rihanna. “I was trying to differentiate cyberbullying from how we attack and ridicule our young stars through media and social networks,” she wrote.

Six years later, famous people continue to raise concerns about bullying — except sometimes, they co-opt the concept as a way to dismiss meaningful, legitimate criticism.

In January, Kevin Hart sat down for an interview on Ellen

DeGeneres’ talk show, and discussed dropping out as Academy Awards host after he declined to apologize for homophobic jokes and tweets from years earlier that had resurfaced. Hart cast the outrage as a “malicious attack” on his character by “trolls.”

DeGeneres agreed. “There are so many haters out there,” she told him. “Whatever is going on in the internet, do not pay attention to them.”

However, plenty of observers were rightfully troubled by Hart’s refusal to apologize for his past tweets, which included him saying that if he saw his son playing with a dollhouse, he would “break it over his head,” and a joke in his stand-up set about how one of his biggest fears was his son being gay.

Celebrities have always craved a scapegoat for negative publicity, such as blaming tabloids or paparazzi, but in an age when the culture is especially sensitive

to bullying, blaming bullies is an effective tactic. In a cover story for Elle earlier this month, Taylor Swift wrote that she was the target of an “online hate campaign” in 2016, when Kim Kardashian West called her a “snake” on Twitter.

On one hand, it makes sense that Swift would feel extremely hurt by the experience, and may want to use that feeling to relate to experiences her fans go through. But doesn’t bullying come down to a power imbalance? Isn’t Swift on the same playing field as Kardashian, and with her millions of loyal fans, certainly more powerful than any other commenter?

In January, billionaire and former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz tweeted a line that resonated with him from a Wall Street Journal editorial about his possible presidential run: “They’re trying to bully Mr. Schultz out of running, but along

the way they’re making the case for why he should.” Of course, this dismisses people with real concerns about his qualifications and ideas.

Examples are all over the map: Megan Fox once equated fame with being “bullied by millions of people constantly.” Kanye West said he was “bullied” backstage at “Saturday Night Live” for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

Cyberbullying is real — but even if a celebrity isn’t technically being bullied in the literal sense, on a public relations level, blaming “haters” is a classic form of “offense is the best defense.” If you attack your attackers, it can spin the news cycle in your favor. However, the real danger is that if bullies are blamed for everything from bad press to an unflattering review, that undermines people who are actually facing true harassment.

Cohen gets a better prize than his ‘mazel of the day’

Bravo’s Andy Cohen will receive the Vito Russo Award at the 30th GLAAD Media Awards on May 4. The award, named for GLAAD’s founder, is given “to an openly LGBTQ media professional who has made a significant difference in accelerating LGBTQ acceptance,” GLAAD said Wednesday. Cohen became the first openly gay host of a U.S. late-night talk show in 2009 when he launched “Watch What Happens Live” on Bravo.

Cinderella and X-Men now live under one roof BUSINESS Disney closed its $71 billion acquisition of Fox’s entertainment business on Wednesday, putting “Cinderella,” “The Simpsons” and “Star Wars” under one corporate roof.

The deal paves the way for Disney to launch its streaming service, Disney Plus, due later this year. It will also likely lead to layoffs in the thousands due to duplicate roles at Fox and Disney.

Disney needs compelling TV shows and movies to persuade viewers to sign up and pay for yet another streaming service. It already has classic Disney cartoons, “Star Wars,” Pixar and some of the Marvel characters. With Fox, Disney could add Marvel’s “X-Men” and “Deadpool,” along with programs shown on such Fox channels as FX networks and National Geographic.

Besides the Disney streaming service, the deal makes it possible for Marvel’s X-Men and the Avengers to reunite in future movies. Though Disney owns Marvel Studios, some characters including the X-Men had already been licensed to Fox. Disney also gets a controlling stake in Hulu, which it plans to keep operating as a home for more general programming.

Family-friendly shows and movies will head to Disney Plus.

Fox Corp. — the parts of 21st Century Fox that are not part of the Disney deal — now includes Fox News, Fox Sports and Fox Broadcasting. MAE ANDERSON (AP)

“Katie, we weren’t one of the first countries, we were one of the last.” @MATTHEWJDOWD, blasting Fox News

contributor Katie Pavlich for asserting that “America came along as the first country to end [slavery] within 150 years.” Historians quickly debunked her claim: Spain banned slavery in 1811, and Sweden in 1813. After Pavlich tweeted later that the U.S. was “one of” the first, users noted that segregation lasted long after slavery’s abolishment in 1865.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) It’s likely to be a busy day for you and those on your team. Someone with whom you naturally clash is more on your side today.

TODAY: Rain is likely through the morning into the early afternoon, becoming more intermittent by mid- to late afternoon. Many locations could see a half-inch to one inch of rain or a little more.

The rain and clouds limit highs to the upper 40s and low 50s. A few showers could linger into the evening.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take care that you don’t let yourself become too tolerant or accepting; there are times when you must insist that others follow the rules.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You understand just how important it is today to support those around you.

Very soon, you’ll likely require their support in return.

Tom Hanks surprised a New Mexico woman celebrating her birthday at an Albuquerque restaurant when he treated her to a special performance of “Happy Birthday.” The Oscar winner surprised Samantha Aragon over the weekend while she was eating with friends at a Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.

Aragon told KRQE-TV in Albuquerque that it was “probably the best 12 seconds of my life.” She says she noticed people taking sneaky selfies with Hanks and kept dropping hints that she would like the actor to sing to her. Hanks, who was in town filming a sci-fi drama, walked over to her table and fulfilled her wish. (AP)
