71 percent of those who fought a moving violation in 2015 won TRANSPORTATION There were nearly 2.5 million crestfallen moments last year in D.C. when a ticket appeared under the windshield wiper blade, in the hand of a police officer or came by mail as the handiwork of a heartless camera beside the road. Tickets for illegal parking, moving violations and those generated by automatic red light and speed cameras make all of their recipients unhappy, but most people mutter a few impolite comments and pay the fine. Most, but not everybody. Some people who felt they’d been done an injustice challenged their ticket, and often they won, according to an analysis by AAA Mid-Atlantic. “These are the true believers. These are people who have photos to back up their claims,” said

who contested a moving violation last year, 71 percent got their ticket dismissed. One reason for that may be that in 6,596 cases, the officer who wrote the ticket wasn’t able to make the hearing. Tickets for illegal parking make up 70 percent of all tickets issued in the District. About 9 percent of the people who receive one file an appeal, and more than half of them succeed in getting them dismissed. The ticket people are least likely to beat is the one generated by a camera catching drivers who run red lights or speed. Only 6 percent of the people who received tickets in the mail challenged the cameras, and 80 percent of those drivers were ordered to pay the fine, according to the AAA analysis. The number of tickets contested by drivers has dropped in each of the past three years, with 114,516 fewer appeals filed in 2015. ASHLEY HALSEY III (THE WASHINGTON POST)

local THE DISTRICT D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday called for increasing the city’s minimum wage to $15 by 2020, dedicating her second citywide address to a “bold” plan to make good on her motto to create “pathways to the middle class.” In her State of the District address, Bowser said the city would assume all operations at the D.C. Jail next year, allowing the District to bring back prisoners more quickly from federal prisons and provide more support to inmates when they are released. The mayor also pledged to make
“the largest investment in public education” in the city’s history and promised to modernize every school that has not yet received a renovation since the city began that campaign a decade ago. Calling affordable child care a problem from Cleveland Park to Anacostia, Bowser said she had directed city officials to study ways to lower costs. Together, Bowser’s proposals offered her a chance to retake the agenda after a year in which she acknowledged events overtook some of her initial plans. Bower spent the past year

nation+world Study: Birds from the city are smarter
Obama calls for change in live address in Cuba The president outlined his vision of the future to ordinary Cubans HAVANA Capping his remarkable visit to Cuba, President Barack Obama on Tuesday declared an end to the “last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas” and openly urged the Cuban people to pursue a more democratic future for this longtime communist U.S. neighbor. With Cuban President Raul Castro watching from a balcony, Obama said the government should not fear citizens who speak freely and vote for their own leaders. And with Cubans watching live on state television — a rare opportunity to speak directly to the country’s citizens — Obama
said they would be the ones to determine their country’s future, not the U.S. “Many suggested that I come here and ask the people of Cuba to tear something down,” Obama said. “But I’m appealing to the young people of Cuba who will … build something new.” The address sparked rare public discussions about democracy, and some anger with Cuba’s leaders. Cubans rarely speak publicly about any desire for political change, particularly in conversations with foreign journalists. Juan Francisco Ugarte, Oliva, a 71-year-old retired refrigeration technician, said the American president “dared to say in the presence of the leaders, of Raul Castro, that (Cubans) had the right to protest peacefully without
2,500
being beaten or arrested.” Omardy Isaac, a 43-year-old who works in a gift shop, said that “Cubans need all of their rights, and I am in favor of democracy.” How quickly political change comes to Cuba, if at all, is uncertain. But the response was certain to be seen by Obama as validation of his belief that restoring ties between Cuba and the U.S. is more likely than continued estrangement to spur democracy. “What the United States was doing was not working,” Obama said. He reiterated his call for Congress to lift the economic embargo on Cuba, calling it an “outdated burden on the Cuban people” — a condemnation that the crowd at Havana’s Grand Theater cheered.

A new study in the journal Behavioral Ecology found city birds were different from their rural counterparts in several ways. “We found that not only were birds from urbanized areas better at innovative problem-solving tasks than bullfinches from rural environments, but that surprisingly urban birds also had a better immunity than rural birds,” said first author Jean-Nicolas Audet. McGill University researchers tested 53 bullfinches from different parts of Barbados — something Audet was inspired to do after being terrorized by bold city birds at a restaurant.

nation+world SPACE For three decades, Bob Ebeling, a former rocket engineer, had been swamped by his own grief over the catastrophe he’d failed to stop. In the days before the space shuttle Challenger exploded, Ebeling and four other engineers had pleaded with NASA to delay the launch because of concerns about if the rubber O-rings on the shuttle’s booster rockets would seal properly in the frigid temperatures. But the engineers were overruled. On Jan. 28, 1986, he and his colleagues watched as the
shuttle burned up in mid-air, killing all seven astronauts on board. “I think that was one of the Ebeling mistakes that God made,” Ebeling told NPR this year. “He shouldn’t have picked me for that job. I don’t know.” But hundreds of people who listened to that interview, which aired on the 30th anniversary of the Challenger explosion in January, disagreed. They included Allan McDonald, Ebeling’s boss on the day of the launch.

McDonald told NPR a month later. “I said, ‘You did something, and you really cared. That’s the definition of a winner.’ ” Ebeling died Monday in Brigham City, Utah, at age 89, his family said. But, thanks in part to the assurances from McDonald and untold others, he died unburdened by the question that haunted him for the past 30 years. “It was as if he got permission from the world,” his daughter Leslie Ebeling Serna told NPR. “He was able to let that part of his life go.” SARAH KAPLAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Though people in Western Europe have dealt with the threat of violence from Muslim extremists as well as homegrown nationalist and revolutionary movements for decades, the idea that a “war” is playing out in their streets is hard to imagine. But the recent frequency and scale of attacks have made some Europeans feel that it’s just something they have to get used to. “It could happen tomorrow or in a year or in five years,” said Dani Amouri, a 23-yearold Stockholm resident who left Lebanon five years ago. “In Sweden, Denmark, Germany, everywhere. There is no peace in the world anymore. Not even in Europe.” In Moscow, security has been tightened notably at everyday locations in the wake of a series of attacks over the past 15 years.

BRUSSELS Islamic extremists struck Tuesday in the heart of Europe, killing at least 34 people and wounding scores of others in back-to-back bombings of the Brussels airport and subway that again laid bare the continent’s vulnerability to suicide squads. Within hours of Tuesday’s assault, the Islamic State asserted responsibility for the attacks, according to a statement posted on the Amaq Agency, a website believed to be close to the extremist group. In addition to the dead, some 250 people were injured, Belgian officials said. The day’s violence represented the worst on Belgian soil since World War II. Paris, Copenhagen and now Brussels. In just over a year, three European capitals have been ravaged by bombs and gunfire. “With each atrocity that occurs we change,” said Ian Duncan, a Scottish member of the European Parliament in Brussels. “We become less open. We pull down barriers and close doors. But it is a direction we are following now.” The carnage in Brussels on Tuesday came as Europe was still reeling from the November attacks by Islamic militants in Paris that killed 130 people. “These were attacks in Belgium. They could just as well be attacks in Britain or France or Germany or elsewhere in Europe,” British Prime Minister David Cameron told the BBC on Tuesday. He said Britain’s threat level remains “severe,” meaning an attack is considered highly likely. French President Francois Hollande said the attacks targeted all of Europe and he warned of a long “war” ahead.
centers have metal detectors and glowering guards. Airports do luggage scans at the entrance. In Western Europe, people are more reluctant to trade civil liberties and an open society for more security. But after each attack that equation changes, at least temporarily, said Catherine Muller, of the Institute of Development Studies in Brighton, England. “Terrorism is one of the risks people normally overestimate because it is very scary and has a strong emotional effect,” said Muller. While those fears are perfectly understandable, she said, it’s important to remember that “no matter what policies or laws are in place, there’s not going to be 100 percent security.” Duncan, who represents the Scottish Conservatives in the European Parliament, said the violence made him think about what, if anything, one can do to be more vigilant when moving in public places without overreacting. “It’s not like a film where you can see the villain approaching,” Duncan said. “Is it someone carrying a backpack? Is it someone who doesn’t look like me? I can’t tell you what I should try to avoid.” (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)
Obama orders all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff through Saturday
NATIONAL SECURITY The apparently coordinated bombings in Belgium are unlikely to be duplicated in the U.S., which is separated by an ocean from Islamic extremists fighting in Syria and Iraq and has seen far fewer of its people traveling there, former intelligence and counterterrorism officials said. America is not immune from terrorist attacks, as December’s Islamic State-inspired mass shooting in San Bernardino demonstrated, and its transit systems, particularly city subways, are vulnerable. But the U.S. is not grappling with the same volume of ISIS recruits as Europe, and sophisticated plots are far more likely to be ferreted out by law enforcement or neighbors, the officials said. “In the U.S., for the most part, communities don’t radicalize; individuals do,” said Seamus Hughes, an ex-National Counterterrorism Center staffer. A report from The Soufan Group, a research service, found 470 people from Belgium had traveled to Syria as of October 2015. That figure, officials said, represents the highest per capita number of foreign fighters for any country. The U.S. has had 250 Americans who have tried to travel, with not all making it. “I think it’s fair to say … Belgium authorities are overwhelmed with the numbers,” Hughes said. “They have twice the number of foreign fighters than we have people who have attempted to travel.” (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A critical climate warning 19 scientists: Sea levels will likely rise faster and higher than forecasted ENVIRONMENT A group of scientists led by James Hansen, the former NASA scientist credited with having drawn the first major attention to climate change in 1988, has published a dire climate study that suggests the impact of global warming will be quicker and more catastrophic we thought. The research, published Tuesday in Atmospheric Chemistry
and Physics, looks at ancient climate change data, climate experiments using computer models and modern observations to determine what would happen if global temperatures rose 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. The results? The melting of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets will happen faster than we thought, leading to as much as several meters of sea level rise in the space of a century. The sweeping paper, 52 pages in length and with 19 authors, invokes violent megastorms and even the hurling

Raul Castro and Barack Obama greet fans before the Rays played the Cuban national team.
THREE POINTERS
A true king of Twitter
REBECCA BLACKWELL (AP)
nation+world
Baseball diplomacy Barack Obama and Raul Castro sit side by side to watch a landmark game in Cuba HAVANA In a landmark game attended by presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro, the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cuban national team 4-1 Tuesday in the first visit by a major league team to the communist island since 1999. James Loney homered and drove in three runs, and Matt Moore and the Tampa Bay pitchers shut out the Cubans until Rudy Reyes homered in the ninth. But the game won’t be remembered for the score. It will be recalled for the two men in the front row at Estadio Latinoamericano. The crowd of some 50,000 roared as Obama and Castro walked toward their seats behind home plate, waving to fans and greeting other dignitaries.
Chants of “Raul! Raul!” broke out. As the two countries try to heal more than 50 years of Cold War animosity, Obama and Castro sitting side by side was a remarkable sight. Obama wore a white shirt and sunglasses, Castro more formal in a blazer. The presidents took part when the fans tried to get “the wave” going early. Obama later signaled safe when Kevin Kiermaier slid home for the first run. Obama then shook hands with Castro. This was the first time since the Baltimore Orioles came 17 years ago during spring training that a big league club played in Cuba. There was no shortage of VIPs, including Secretary of State John
Other notables on hand Aside from the leaders of the U.S. and Cuba, fans at Tuesday’s game, broadcast on ESPN, included Rachel Robinson, the 92-year-old wife of the late Jackie Robinson; former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter; Joe Torre, the chief baseball officer for MLB; and former major leaguer Jose Cardenal, 72, who was born in Matanzas, Cuba. (TWP)
Kerry and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. Of more interest to the fans were the men who threw out the first pitches: Luis Tiant, a three-time MLB All-Star, and Pedro Luis Lazo, who had a long career with Cuban club Pinar del
Rio and the national team. The trip was a homecoming for Rays outfielder Dayron Varona, who was born in Havana and spent seven years playing in Cuba before hopping a boat to Haiti in 2013. He saw some relatives for the first time since then. “This is something I didn’t believe until I hugged my niece,” Varona said Monday. “Because it’s been three years that I don’t see them, and it’s something very thrilling but also very painful.” For most, the game was purely a thrill. Both Obama and Castro were gone by the third inning — with Obama heading to the airport to fly south for a state visit to Argentina — but the stands remained packed until the final out.

The Cavaliers’ LeBron James, or @KingJames as he is known to his 29 million followers on Twitter, loves to stoke cyber drama, although sometimes his topics are serious ones. DAVE TEPPS (EXPRESS)
3 Unfollowing his team James unfollowed the Cavaliers on Monday. One source said it was an online “spring cleaning.” But then he said he might join Snapchat. #Disenchanted?
2 Sending a message He dogged teammate Kevin Love last year by tweeting: “Stop trying to find a way to FIT-OUT and just FIT-IN.” The King said he was merely trying to inspire his pal.
1 Taking a public stance James was praised in 2012 when, while with the Heat, he tweeted a photo of himself and teammates solemnly honoring slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
REDSKINS
A homecoming for Vernon Davis?
Free agent tight end Vernon Davis, a D.C. native who played at Maryland, might find a new home with the Redskins. GM Scot McCloughan was in the 49ers’ front office when they drafted him in 2006 and still likes him. Davis, 32, played in 2015 for the 49ers and Broncos and had only 38 catches (no TDS), but McCloughan said the added weapon could confuse defenses. The Redskins already have tight ends Jordan Reed, Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

His productivity dipped while splitting carries in final year with Redskins REDSKINS After four years as the Redskins’ featured back, Alfred Morris signed Tuesday with one of their top rivals. Morris, the fifth-leading rusher in team history, signed a two-year deal with the Cowboys, said his agent, Sean Stellato. Morris’ contract is for base pay of $3.5 million for the two years with incentives that could grow it to $5.5 million, The Dallas Morning News reported.
The Cowboys’ other top back is Darren McFadden. In eight games against Dallas, Morris rushed for 710 yards on 152 carries for a 4.7-yard average with seven touchdowns. He closed the 2015 season with 19 carries for 100 yards against Dallas. But it was a trying year for Morris, who split carries with rookie Matt Jones. Morris had 202 carries for 751 yards (a 3.7-yard average) with one touchdown — all career lows. Morris, a sixth-round pick out of Florida Atlantic in 2012, burst onto the scene as a rookie as he and Robert Griffin III led Washington to the NFC East title.

Healthy Volunteers Needed Healthy volunteers are needed for an investigational HIV vaccine study testing a new vaccine to see if it is safe and effective. It is not possible to get HIV through participating in the study. You may be eligible if you: • Are between 18 and 49 years old and in good health • Do not have HIV • Do not live with or care for anyone younger than 18 years old Study participants will receive 4 doses of the vaccine over 8 months. The first 3 vaccines will be in the form of a nasal spray and the last vaccine will be an injection. Participants will receive the first dose of the vaccine in the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center and will remain hospitalized for about 1 week. If a participant’s immune system does not respond to the first vaccine, he or she may be hospitalized when receiving the second and/or third vaccines. The study will last for 14 months. All volunteers will be compensated.

Owners vote to outlaw all forms of chop block NFL owners Tuesday voted to entirely outlaw chop blocks and made permanent the one-year experiment in which the snap for an extra point is made from the 15-yard line instead of the 5. The chop block, in which a player blocks an opponent low while the opponent is engaged high by another player, already had become limited in the league by various rule changes. Now, all forms are banned, subject to a 15-yard penalty. (AP) NFL

Morris put up career numbers with 335 carries and 1,613 yards with 13 touchdowns. He topped the 1,000-yard mark in each of the next two seasons as well. Last season, Morris, 27, saw some of his carries go to Jones, a third-round pick out of Florida. The Redskins didn’t try to resign Morris. His 4,713 rushing yards for Washington trail only John Riggins, Clinton Portis, Larry Brown and Stephen Davis.

The decision by the Eagles last year to give then-coach Chip Kelly full control of the roster was a bust, but owner Jeffrey Lurie said Tuesday he does not regret the experiment. Lurie, speaking at the NFL meetings, told ESPN: “I’ll put it this way: I think it was a necessary way to go to find out if Chip was the right guy. ... The expense of the lesson is just time. ... We’re all in, as you know. It’s really about winning championships for Philadelphia. So we lost some time.” (EXPRESS)
Harbaugh helps team cope with Walker’s death RAVENS Coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday he is doing his best to guide his players through the shock and grief of losing teammate Tray Walker, who died Friday at 23 from injuries sustained in a dirt bike accident one day earlier in Miami. “Our players, they probably are counseling me through it as much as I’m counseling them through it,” he said at the NFL meetings in Boca Raton, Fla. “Everybody loved Tray. It’s all about him. Everybody just really loved him and everybody was stunned.” Harbaugh said he was optimistic that Walker would recover after surgery Friday. “And then he was gone,” Harbaugh said. “It was like just a punch in the gut.” Harbaugh said he received advice from Rams coach Jeff Fisher, who dealt with last year’s shooting of one of his players, receiver Stedman Bailey. He survived being shot in the head in November in Miami Gardens, Fla. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti will charter a jet to take players to the funeral Saturday in Miami. Harbaugh said the team also will try to help players with the healing process when they return to work. That is an aspect of coaching, Harbaugh said, for which he has not prepared. “The grief management part ... That’s not something I have any expertise in or any understanding of, really,” he said.

Wizards short of time for playoff push WIZARDS With only 12 games left to try to make the playoffs, the Wizards are running out of time to figure out what has been a maddeningly inconsistent season. They are currently on a fivegame winning streak — but that was preceded by a five-game losing streak. Now they have three weeks left to move from 10th in the Eastern Conference to eighth, or miss the postseason party.
“The games are getting numbered, and we got to win games,” guard Ramon Sessions said. Heading into tonight’s home game against Atlanta, the Wizards (35-35) are 11/2 games behind eighth-place Chicago and ninth-place Detroit. One factor working against the Wizards is the schedule. They have five home games left and seven on the road. That includes a five-game Western swing featuring contests against the Warriors and Clippers. W h at a r e t h e W i z a rd s ’ chances? FiveThirtyEight.com has the most bullish forecast, giving the Wizards a 42 percent
chance of qualifying for the playoffs. ESPN gives them a 20.9 percent chance and BasketballReference.com puts the figure at 17.7 percent. One element in their favor is that they began the current winning streak by defeating Detroit and Chicago. That gave them the season series — the playoff tiebreaker — against both teams. “Now we’re in it,” forward Jared Dudley said this week. “Now we’re right in the thick of things. You give yourself a chance. “It might be 1 1 / 2 games, 21 / 2 games, but you have the

With Bradley Beal back in the lineup — he scored 25 against Atlanta — Nene seeming rejuvenated and the team showing a greater commitment to defense, things are looking up (again) for the hot-and-cold Wizards. “It’s late in the season, there are still games left, and we still got some ground to cover,” Sessions said.

The Indian-inspired blend from France is popping up all over D.C.
SPICES Curry powder’s French relative — vadouvan — is making an appearance at a number of Washington restaurants. Like curry, vadouvan is a spice blend with variable ingredients. Ivan Fitzgerald, co-owner of spice shop Bazaar Spices in Union Market and Shaw, said it typically consists of 10 to 12 ingredients, including onion, garlic, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, mustard seed, thyme, coriander, fenugreek and red pepper. Chef Cedric Maupillier, of Convivial in Shaw, grew up in France eating his mom’s lamb curry made with vadouvan. When he moved to London to work, he was surprised to see how trendy French curry was in England. Only then did he realize his home country wasn’t the only place that appreciated a good curry. At Convivial, which Maupillier opened last fall, he serves a squash vadouvan. Spices such as cumin seed, black mustard seed, turmeric, fenugreek, coriander, chipotle, cardamom, cloves and madras curry powder are toasted overnight at a low temperature. The spice mix is combined with jammy shallots and onions, plus
squash trimmings, pineapple, green apples and bananas. The end result is a bright orange sauce plated with a stack of olive cake, acorn squash, mustard greens, coconut and pistachios. Vadouvan is a favorite of George Pagonis, executive chef and partner at Mike Isabella’s three Kapnos restaurants. “It offers a really unique flavor profile,” he says. “I try not to use it everywhere.” At the new Kapnos Kouzina in Bethesda, Pagonis works vadouvan into curry lentils served with a dish of bifteki (Greek beef patties). A vadouvan-spiced sunchoke puree accompanies a salmon mezze at Kapnos Taverna in Arlington. At Westend Bistro, another French-accented eatery, vadouvan enhances a dish of skate wings. On the frequently changing menu at Jeremiah Langhorne’s the Dabney, it was paired with lamb. Robert Wiedmaier’s Belgian Brasserie Beck uses the blend in a Brussels sprouts and squash salad, and Jeffrey Buben’s Vidalia incorporates it into a foie gras appetizer. Chef Jonathan Dearden plans to put vadouvan-spiced olives on the menu at the pending Radiator in the Mason & Rook Hotel. Dearden gets his vadouvan from California purveyor Le Sanctuaire, whose mix includes sun-dried garlic and shallots. The resulting sweetness

Vadouvan is used to flavor many meats, including quail, which can be seasoned with the spice blend, coated with cornstarch and deep-fried.
Vadouvan [pronounced vah-doo-vahn]
Vadouvan originated during the French colonization of Pondicherry (also known as Puducherry) in southeast India, says chef Cedric Maupillier of Convivial in Shaw. The French brought back with them the idea of a curry blend, but one that ended up milder than the Indian version. B.K.
plays well with the salty olives and preserved lemon Dearden also includes. In his former gig at Ardeo + Bardeo, Dearden used vadouvan in a summer snapper dish, and it may reappear at Radiator. He likes that the spice blend might spark a conversation with curious diners. “It is certainly something that looks great on a menu,” he says. BECKY KRYSTAL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

morning-after pill. The show mirrors Carmichael’s stand-up and reflects his often unexpected and occasionally controversial point of view. In his “Love at the Store” comedy special and in the series, for example, he talks about how he can’t wait to become a Republican. “I’m a Democrat now by necessity,” he says in the special. “I need the health care. But, as soon as I am in a different tax bracket, f--- poor people.” In the Cosby-centric episode of “The Carmichael Show,” it’s Jerrod who buys tickets to
see the comedian despite the sexual abuse allegations. What follows is a funny, thoughtprovoking discussion over whether you can (or should) separate an artist’s work from his personal life. And that’s what makes the series stand out. Unlike most sitcoms, which exist so you can turn your brain off for a halfhour, “The Carmichael Show” constantly makes me think hard — and it makes me laugh even harder.

Jeffersons,” “The Carmichael Show” premiered on NBC last year in the dead of summer with back-to-back episodes and became a surprise hit. Earlier this month, the show returned for a second season (Sundays at 9 p.m.) that’s been even funnier — and more successful — than the first. Carmichael stars as a version of himself who, in the pilot, moves in with his girlfriend, Maxine (Amber Stevens West), despite the fact that his more traditional parents might not approve. That decision sets up the template for the series: Jerrod and Maxine visit Mom and Dad (played perfectly by Loretta Devine and David Alan Grier) at their house and engage in a lively discussion, usually in the Carmichael living room and often including Jerrod’s brother Bobby (Lil Rel Howery) and Bobby’s ex-wife Nekeisha (Tiffany Haddish). Where a sitcom like “Broad City” takes the mundane (going to retrieve a package, traveling to a wedding) and turns it into fantastical, absurd adventures, “The Carmichael Show” uses a mundane setting to bring out real, nuanced debates on hot-button issues like gun control, Bill Cosby and the

Jerrod Carmichael has always done things his own way. For his first stand-up special, the comedian didn’t workshop the jokes on latenight television and he didn’t settle for a Comedy Central “Half Hour.” Instead, he went big in 2014 with an hourlong special on HBO — unheard of for a young comic — that was directed by Spike Lee (a fan) at the famed Comedy Store in Los Angeles. Prior to that, Carmichael worked on a pilot for NBC that didn’t pan out, but the network liked him so much, it had him create a new concept with the help of filmmaker Nicholas Stoller, who directed Carmichael in “Neighbors.” Again, Carmichael blazed his own trail. Instead of creating yet another sitcom about 20-somethings dating or another workplace comedy, Carmichael wanted to revive a classic format no one else was attempting: the multi-camera family sitcom that deals with real issues. A throwback to such Norman Lear shows as “All in the Family,” “Good Times” and “The

The company will use the pilot to try to find a buyer to air the show five days a week starting in fall 2017. Bragman says Palin is a natural for the role because she’s telegenic and not afraid to give her opinion. She has no legal training.

Timberg says the creator of the popular Belgian cartoon — Georges Remi, who used the pen name Hergé — had a track record of racist characters in the comic. In addition, the series appeared in a pro-Facist newspaper in the 1930s, and Remi later worked for a Nazi-run newspaper after Germany invaded Belgium.
