Md. teen girls smash misogyny BETHESDA Yasmin Behbehani had just walked into her third-period health class when her friend asked her if she had seen the list. “There’s a list of the girls’ names,” said her friend Nicky Schmidt, a fellow senior at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland. “And we’re ranked.” Behbehani didn’t want to see the list. She had spent the past four years recovering from an eating disorder, working hard to avoid comparing herself with others, she said. But by her sixthperiod class on that Monday earlier this month, a text message appeared on her phone with a screenshot of the list. It included the names of 18 girls in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School’s International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, ranked and rated on the basis of their looks. A group of male students in their program created the list more than a year ago, but it resurfaced earlier this month. One male classmate, seeing the
name of his good friend Nicky Schmidt on the list, told her about it, and Schmidt told her female classmates. Lists like this one had silently circulated for generations, and it has happened in more recent years at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, too, the students said. But it was happening now, in the era of the #MeToo movement. Dozens of senior girls decided to speak up to the school administration and to their male classmates, demanding not only disciplinary action in response to the list but a schoolwide reckoning about the toxic culture that allowed it to happen. That same day, a group of girls reported the list to an administrator, who encouraged the students not to talk about it around school, Schmidt said. The next day, the girls learned that school officials decided to discipline one male student with in-school detention for one day. Unsatisfied, Schmidt gathered a group of girls to push back. The next day, about 40 senior girls packed into an assistant

Teen boys rated their female classmates based on looks. The girls fought back.
Bethesda-Chevy Chase seniors Lee Schwartz, 18, Jane Corcoran, 17, and Nicky Schmidt, 17, pushed back after their male classmates ranked them.
“It was the last straw, for us girls, of this ‘boys will be boys’ culture. We’re the generation that is going to make a change.” YASMIN BEHBEHANI, a student at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High school in Maryland, who was ranked for her looks on a list circulated at school
principal’s office as Schmidt read a statement she had written. “We should be able to learn in an environment without the constant presence of objectification and misogyny,” Schmidt said. The girls and administrators agreed that they should have a large meeting with the male students in the program, including the boys who created and circulated the list. That Friday, on International Women’s Day, almost all of the students in the IB program — about 80 students
— met for 2½ hours. Several girls delivered personal speeches describing their experiences with sexual abuse, harassment and objectification. “I feel it when walking home from school, I get catcalled by a man in a truck who repeatedly asks me to get in his car, and follows me home when I don’t,” said Rose Frank, one of the senior girls on the list, reading from a letter. The male student credited with creating the list, an 18-year-old senior in the IB program, apologized at the meeting. Since then, a co-ed group of senior students — including the boy who created the list — have been gathering on an almost weekly basis to discuss how to prevent incidents like this one. The students are planning a program to talk to younger students about toxic masculinity, and some are even organizing a pop-up museum focused on the theme of cultural toxicity. “I wasn’t surprised by the list,” senior Gabriella Capizzi said. “The kids like the kid who made the list aren’t the outliers. It’s the people who speak up about it that are. And that culture needs to change.” SAMANTHA SCHMIDT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Fields pleads guilty to hate crimes in car attack CHARLOTTESVILLE A man convicted on state murder charges in a deadly car attack at a white nationalist rally in Virginia pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal hate crime charges. James Alex Fields Jr., of Maumee, Ohio, pleaded guilty to 29 of 30 federal charges stemming from the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017. He did not plead guilty to one count that carried a potential death penalty. Fields, an vowed neo-Nazi, appeared stoic, with hands folded in front of him for much of the
hearing. He did not speak, except to repeatedly respond, “Yes, sir,” when U.S. District Judge MiFields chael Urbanski asked him if he was pleading guilty knowingly and voluntarily. Urbanski set sentencing for July 3. Fields faces a life sentence. Fields, 21, was convicted in December of first-degree murder and other state charges for killing anti-racism activist Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of others. A jury found that Fields

intentionally plowed his car into a crowd of people protesting against the white nationalists. The “Unite the Right” rally drew hundreds of white nationalists to Charlottesville to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Hundreds more turned out to protest against the white nationalists. Jurors in Fields’ state trial recommended a life sentence plus 419 years, although a judge still has to decide on the punishment. Sentencing is scheduled for July 15. DENISE LAVOIE (AP)

The National Park Service will begin emergency pothole patches on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway on Friday evening, the agency said Wednesday, weeks after part of the road’s speed limit was lowered for safety reasons and commuters complained about a flurry of flat tires and traffic backups. The road also will be repaved, starting in mid-April, the agency said. As part of the pothole work beginning Friday, parts of the road will be closed in both directions overnight during the weekend. Southbound lanes between Routes 198 and 197 will be closed from Friday at 7:30 p.m. to Saturday at 5 a.m. Northbound lanes in the same section will be closed from Saturday at 7:30 p.m. to Sunday at 5 a.m. That schedule could change depending on the weather, the agency said.

PM May offers to resign if her Brexit deal passes Leader’s concession comes as Parliament rejects 8 other plans
NEW BOOK
Barbara Bush suffered ‘angst’ over Trump
LONDON British Prime Minister Theresa May offered up her job in exchange for her Brexit deal Wednesday, telling colleagues she would quit within weeks if the agreement was passed and Britain left the European Union. May’s dramatic concession that “there is a desire for a new approach — and new leadership” was a last-ditch effort to bring enough reluctant colleagues on board to push her twice-rejected EU divorce deal over the line. It looked like it might not be enough, as a key Northern Ireland party said it would not be supporting the deal. May’s announcement came as lawmakers held an inconclusive series of votes on alternatives to her unpopular deal. It was the first step in an attempt by Parliament to break the Brexit deadlock and stop the country from tumbling out of the bloc within weeks with no exit plan in place. May has been under mounting pressure from pro-Brexit members of her Conservative Party to quit. Many Brexiteers accuse her of negotiating a bad divorce deal that leaves Britain too closely tied to the bloc after it leaves. In a packed meeting of Conservative legislators described by participants as “somber,” May

Theresa May made a last-ditch effort for her twice-rejected EU divorce deal.
finally conceded she would have to go, although she did not set a departure date. “I am prepared to leave this job earlier than I intended in order to do what is right for our country and our party,” she said, according to a transcript released by her office. With May clinging to her Plan A — getting her deal approved — lawmakers this week seized control of the parliamentary timetable for debate and voted Wednesday on a range of Brexit alternatives. The results underscored the divisions in Parliament, and the country, over Brexit. None of the eight plans received a majority
of votes. The most popular were a proposal to remain in a customs union with the bloc, which was defeated 272-264, and a call to hold a public referendum on any divorce deal, which fell by 295 votes to 268. Both ideas got more support than the 242 votes secured by May’s deal earlier this month. A call to leave the EU without a deal was supported by 160 lawmakers and opposed by 400. The plan is for the most popular ideas to move to a second vote Monday to find an option that can command a majority. Parliament would then instruct the government to negotiate it with the EU.
Barbara Bush posthumously criticizes President Trump in a new biography of the former first lady. Susan Page, the Washington bureau chief of USA Today, detailed Bush’s thoughts on Trump in her book, “The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty.” Page used interviews and notes from Bush’s journals in writing the book. According to excerpts, Bush, who died in April at age 92, blamed Trump for her heart failure in 2016. “The tumultuous presidential campaign in general and Trump’s ridicule of son Jeb Bush in particular had riled her. ‘Angst,’ she told me,” Page writes.

FAA to revamp oversight after 2 Boeing disasters Aircraft makers’ role in certifying own planes draws renewed scrutiny WASHINGTON The Federal Aviation Administration plans to revamp oversight of airplane development after the two deadly crashes of Boeing’s new 737 Max raised questions of whether the FAA has gone too far in letting companies regulate themselves, a Transportation Department official said Wednesday. For decades, the FAA has delegated some authority for certifying new aircraft to the manufacturers themselves, reducing government costs and, defenders say, speeding the rollout of new models. But in the wake of the air
disasters in Ethiopia and Indonesia over less than five months, that practice has been seized on as evidence of an overly cozy relationship between the FAA and the industry. The self-certifying practice, called Organization Designation Authorization, came under scrutiny Wednesday at a Senate subcommittee hearing that featured testimony by the acting FAA administrator, the Transportation Department inspector general and the chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. Inspector General Calvin Scovel III said the FAA plans to significantly revamp its oversight of aircraft development by July. He gave few details in his opening statement but said the changes would include new ways

He cast the mission as part of a new space race against superpowers such as Russia and China, which landed a spacecraft on the far side of the moon earlier this year. Pence said NASA has been stifled by a crippling bureaucracy that prevented it from moving more boldly in space exploration. “It’s not just competition against our adversaries,” Pence said. “We’re also racing against our worst enemy: complacency.” (TWP)

Facebook banning white nationalism TECHNOLOGY Facebook said Wednesday that it will begin banning posts, photos and other content that references white nationalism and white separatism, revising its rules in response to criticism that a loophole had allowed racism to thrive on its platform. Previously, Facebook had prohibited users from sharing messages that glorified white supremacy — a rhetorical discrepancy in the eyes of civil rights advocates who argued that white nationalism, supremacy and separatism are indistinguishable. Facebook now agrees. In a blog post announcing the ban on “praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism. It’s clear that these concepts are deeply linked to organized hate groups and have no place on our services.” The new policy also applies to Instagram. Facebook’s decision comes a week after the company announced it will prohibit advertisers from excluding minorities and other protected groups from ads for housing, employment and credit. To help enforce its policies, Facebook has developed and deployed artificial-intelligence tools that can spot and remove content even before users see it. But the company removes only about 50 percent of such posts at the moment they are uploaded. TONY ROMM AND ELIZABETH DWOSKIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A ‘breaking point’ at border NATIONAL SECURITY Along the Rio Grande in El Paso, Texas, where the Border Patrol station is overflowing with Central American families, the top U.S. border security official made an urgent appeal to lawmakers Wednesday for more resources and authorities, warning of an unprecedented migration surge that has pushed his agency to “the breaking point.” Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, gathered reporters and television cameras near an improvised holding pen beneath an overpass where U.S. agents have been processing hundreds of parents and children in a dusty parking lot. He said he has warned Congress of the unfolding chaos and called for immediate action to “address this broken framework.” “That breaking point has arrived this week at our border,” he said. “CBP is facing an unprecedented humanitarian and border security crisis all along our southwest border, and nowhere has that crisis manifested more acutely than here in El Paso.” Just before the commissioner began speaking, a group of nine parents and children from El Salvador and Panama traversed the Rio Grande, and agents led them to the processing center on foot. McAleenan’s statements reflect the growing desperation

Citing a humanitarian crisis, security official calls for more resources
Migrants gather Wednesday inside a makeshift detention center in El Paso, Texas. Border Protection says it has been overwhelmed by asylum-seekers.
among Homeland Security officials faced with a border influx that is on pace to be the largest in more than a decade, led by Guatemalan and Honduran asylum-seekers who arrive with children and surrender to
U.S. agents. McAleenan said his agency currently has more than 13,000 migrants in its custody. “A high number is 4,000,” he said. “Six thousand is crisis level. Thirteen thousand is unprecedented.”
McAleenan said Border Patrol holding stations are so dangerously overcrowded that CBP is releasing migrants directly into the U.S. for the first time in more than a decade. Some have been seriously ill, while others have lice, the flu and chicken pox. “We are doing everything we can to simply avoid a tragedy in a CBP facility,” McAleenan said. “But with these numbers, with the types of illnesses we’re seeing at the border, I fear that it’s just a matter of time.” He blamed the surge on smugglers and U.S. laws that he said encourage illegal migration because migrants are virtually guaranteed to be released in the U.S. “There’s no questioning why this is happening,” he said. Though Border Patrol apprehensions remain below their annual peak of 1.6 million in 2000, the nature of the increasing migration flows has shifted dramatically, and that shift is driving the alarm. In prior eras, most of the migrants were adult men who could be easily deported to Mexico; now, many of those attempting to cross the border are asylum-seeking Central American families and, to a lesser degree, minors traveling on their own. Because those seeking asylum have a legal right to have their cases evaluated, most families are released into the U.S. to await hearings in clogged immigration courts, a process that can take months or years.

‘Unbelievable’: DeVos defends unpopular cut WASHINGTON The Trump administration faced withering attacks and bipartisan pushback as it scrambled Wednesday to defend its proposal to kill federal funding for the Special Olympics. The issue came up at a House hearing on Tuesday, and by Wednesday afternoon, prominent GOP senators were vowing to protect the $17.6 million for the Special Olympics, which gives people with intellectual disabilities the chance to compete in a range of athletic contests. Trump’s proposed 2020 budget marked the third year that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has proposed the cut. She has defended the proposal, saying the Special Olympics benefits from private philanthropic support. But that did little to calm the storm. “Trump and DeVos want to slash education spending and defund the Special Olympics after giving tax breaks to the top 1%. Unbelievable,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, wrote on Twitter. Congress has repeatedly rejected Trump’s request to kill the funding, and the proposal appeared dead again this year. Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, the top Republican on the Senate panel that oversees appropriations for the Education Department, said in a statement that his chamber’s bill will not cut the funding.

Without extensive research, scientists cannot directly link a single weather event like Cyclone Idai to the changing climate, but global warming understood to be responsible for more intense and more frequent extreme weather events, as well as droughts, floods and fires. On Tuesday, U.N.

In Beira, it is too early to calculate the cyclone’s toll, whether in economic losses or even in lives.
NEW DELHI Joining the select space club of the United States, Russia and China, India became the fourth country in the world to shoot down a low-orbit satellite with a missile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Wednesday. The Shakti (which means “power” in Hindi) mission lasted just three minutes, and the target was blown up in its low orbit 186 miles from Earth, he said, describing it as a “proud moment” for India. The satellite shot down in the test was one of the country’s existing satellites. Modi, above, said India developed this capability for defensive purposes. “We are not just capable to defend on land, water and air, but now also in space,” said Modi, noting the technology was developed “indigenously.” The successful test comes amid broader concerns about the readiness of India’s armed forces for modern battles. It recently engaged Pakistan in its first aerial dogfight in decades. Pakistan shot down an Indian jet and took an Indian pilot into custody. The latest feat demonstrates India’s growing ambitions and footprint in space, where its neighbor China is seen as dominant. Last year, India’s government set aside a budget of $1.43 billion to carry out the country’s first manned mission to space by 2022. The space research organization aims to send a three-member team to space for a week. NIHA MASIH

BEIRA, MOZAMBIQUE Long before Cyclone Idai roared in and tore apart Mozambique’s seaside city of Beira, the mayor dreamed of protecting his people from climate change. It would be a huge challenge. Large parts of the city of 500,000 residents are below sea level on a coastline that experts warn is one of the world’s most vulnerable to global warming’s rising waters. With the World Bank’s support, a $120 million project was approved in 2012 to help spare the city’s fading Art Deco center and makeshift slums from rising waters. A 7-mile system of drainage canals and water retention basins now snakes from the beach deep into boggy neighborhoods. It meant “the end of suffering of a whole population,” Mayor Daviz Simango declared as the project’s first phase was completed last year. Then “God changed his plan and brought a cyclone,” Simango now says. The storm that struck on March 14 brought a whole new level of pain to Beira, with images of destruction to chill any seaside nation already fearing for its survival. “We were really well prepared for disasters like flooding,” Simango said. The new system worked perfectly when there was flooding two months ago, said the mayor, a civil engineer who at times personally oversaw its construction. Residents told him they no longer needed to sleep on their tables. The cyclone was a different story. Packing winds of some 150 miles an hour, the storm ripped apart structures built to withstand less than half that intensity. “This cyclone destroyed

everything we built for more than 100 years,” Simango said. Mozambique is on the front line of fighting climate change in Africa, where most nations have little infrastructure and funding to cope. Rapidly growing coastal cities like Beira are especially at risk. The mayor called it unjust that African nations face some of the toughest challenges while contributing little to global warming. People in rich, industrialized nations produce much of the carbon dioxide and other gases that are warming the planet by burning the most coal, diesel, gasoline and jet fuel. Ordinary Mozambicans may not be familiar with the science behind climate change. But the Beira residents who pick their way through inundated streets, and the longtime fishermen who keenly watch the sea and sky, have noticed changes. They note that local

Va. Tech’s Outlaw faces pot charges
GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION
Ovechkin eyes 50 again Caps star is a goal away from reaching the milestone for an eighth time in his career CAPITALS It happens so often, it’s practically become a rite of spring. As the Capitals pursue another Metropolitan Division title, Alex Ovechkin is again on target for a 50-goal season. On Tuesday at Capital One Arena, Ovechkin snapped a rare four-game goalless drought with his 49th of the season — the eventual game-winner as the Capitals beat Carolina 4-1. Chants of “We Want 50!” filled the arena late in the third period and although it didn’t happen at home, Ovechkin is confident he’ll hit the mark soon. “Yeah,” he predicted. “Next game.” Ovechkin has now matched his goal total from last season when he finished painfully short of 50.
Ovechkin scored twice in Washington’s regular-season finale last year when a hat trick was needed. This season, Ovechkin will have ample opportunity to hit the magic number with five games remaining before the playoffs. “It would be nice to get it,” Ovechkin said. “But we still have five games. I have lots of chances to score [Tuesday] and finally I get one. I think last couple games I didn’t use my chances. It was important goal, and I’m happy with the win.” The Capitals have won two straight and are 11-3-1 in their past 15 games. They begin a three-game road trip Friday in Carolina (7 p.m.; NBCSW), three points clear of the Islanders and Penguins atop the Metropolitan Division. With a win, Washington
will clinch a playoff berth for the 11th time in 12 seasons. “That’s important,” Ovechkin said. “That’s why we play 82 games — to clinch the playoffs. And then in the playoffs, you never know.” Ovechkin has spent much of the season atop the goal-scoring leaderboard, although Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl (46) and Toronto’s John Tavares (45) have recently narrowed the gap. Ovechkin is seeking a league-record eighth career goal-scoring title and an eighth career 50-goal campaign. Only Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy (nine each) have had more 50-goal seasons. “We know what’s going on and we’re rooting for him,” said defenseman Matt Niskanen. “First and foremost we need to win and
get better as a team. But if he’s scoring, that usually means good things for us. … It’s fun watching Ovi when he gets super competitive. He’s so driven to win and to put up numbers when [a milestone] is there in front of him.” Now in his 14th NHL season and with more than 1,000 games on his hockey odometer, Ovechkin, 33, could become the thirdoldest 50-goal scorer in league history, behind only Johnny Bucyk and Jaromir Jagr. “It’s such a tough thing to talk about because 50 goals is an amazing, amazing year,” Capitals coach Todd Reirden said earlier this month. “And he just continues to do it despite getting a year older and despite having a long season the year before. He’s pretty remarkable.” BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS)
Virginia Tech forward Ty Outlaw was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana earlier this month, according to Virginia court records. Outlaw is scheduled for a court appearance April 11. Outlaw established himself as the Hokies’ top perimeter threat, leading the team in 3-point field goals (78) and 3-point shooting percentage (.456) during his final season in Blacksburg. He averages 8.7 points and 5.4 rebounds for Virginia Tech, which will meet top-seeded Duke in an East Region semifinal at Capital One Arena in Washington on Friday night. As of Wednesday afternoon, Virginia Tech had not publicly addressed the charge or Outlaw’s playing status for this weekend. (TWP)

Last year, Florida State upset a fourth-seeded Gonzaga team as a No. 9 seed in the Sweet 16, and the Seminoles are better this year. Their adjusted efficiency margins on both sides of the ball have improved — their offense is ranked 28th compared to 43rd in 2018 and their defense has risen from the 33rd to the 10th-best in the country — and their depth will be tough to handle.
Purdue’s defense has gone from good during the regular season and Big Ten Tournament (63rd percentile combined) to great in the NCAA Tournament (97th percentile), holding opponents to 0.72 points per possession and 37 percent shooting over two games. Spot-up shooters, a staple of Tennessee’s offense, are only 10-for-38 against Purdue through the first two rounds.
Expect Texas Tech to force Michigan to beat them off the dribble or from the perimeter. The Wolverines have already proven it is difficult for them to beat defenses one-on-one: fourfifths of their starting lineup rank in the 49th percentile or worse for scoring efficiency in isolation during the entire 2018-19 campaign. And Michigan shoots just 32 percent on jump shots off the dribble.
Fueled by its matchup zone, Oregon held its first two opponents — No. 5 Wisconsin and No. 13 UC Irvine — to 54 points each. However, Virginia and coach Tony Bennett are no stranger to the zone defense. The Cavaliers scored one point per possession vs. man defenses and were slightly more efficient vs. zone (1.04 points per possession).

NATIONALS VS. METS | 1:05 P.M. TODAY, MASN
Staff goals are set high NATIONALS Mike Rizzo has the Nationals’ blueprint broken into one-year, three-year and five-year plans, all laid out in his office at the team’s ballpark by the Navy Yard waterfront. Those plans are never public, but Rizzo can’t hide the Nationals’ preferred identity. It is tethered to starting pitching, for the past seven years and the coming one, which is why Rizzo built around Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg this winter. The general manager signed Patrick Corbin to a six-year, $140 million deal in December. He signed two veterans, Anibal Sanchez and Jeremy Hellickson, to round out the staff and added two veteran catchers to strengthen the group. Washington, which opens its season this afternoon at Nationals Park, will spend around $96 million on those five arms this season — more than five teams may pay their entire rosters. “The expectations are huge for this staff,” Nationals pitching coach Derek Lilliquist said. “Any team needs their starting

horses to be horses, and we are really going to need that.” Wil Crowe showed up for his first major league camp looking to learn as much as he could. Crowe, a 24-year-old starter and one of the Nationals’ top pitching prospects, has spent most of his career hearing about spin. The spin rate of his breaking pitches. The spin rate of his fastball. It was “spin, spin, spin” — as he repeated at his locker in early March. That’s why he was surprised at his first pitching meeting this spring. The pitchers were all talking about their fastball command. Crowe got a peek at where everything starts. “It was all about the fastball, when to use it, how to use it, how to spot it, how to command it better and build off it,” said Crowe, as he recalled the conversations. “I mean, being around those guys is like getting a Ph.D. in pitching.” Their fastballs function in different ways, but play a prominent role in each arsenal. Scherzer, who turns 35 in July, still throws in the mid-90s and pairs a cutter with his four-seam fastball.
THE WASHINGTON POST AND GETTY IMAGES
Nats will pay their rotation around $96M in 2019. But will the investment pay off?
Led by starters Max Scherzer, from top, Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin, the Nationals have one of the most vaunted staffs in baseball.
Strasburg’s velocity has dipped in recent years, from the high 90s to between 91 and 94 mph last summer and this spring, and he uses a four-seam fastball and a sinker to pound the bottom of the zone.

NO. 2 TREA TURNER
The number of stolen bases Turner had in 2018 — second most in MLB. Manager Dave Martinez said he wants Turner to attempt 75-80 steals this year. Since 2000, 13 players have attempted at least 75 steals in a season.
Sports Illustrated predicts Nats will miss playoffs, Bryce Harper’s Phillies will lose World Series to Astros
Corbin doesn’t have overpowering heat but uses two fastballs to set up a dominant slider and slow-looping curve. One of them cuts a bit. The other sinks. Everything moves. Sanchez turned 35 in February
and is a softer-throwing veteran. He once threw harder, but now uses three fastballs (a four-seam, sinker and cutter) to set up four other options: a curveball, a slider and two different change-ups. Hellickson’s fastball hovers in the high 80s, and when he is going well it induces soft contact and sets up his plus change-up. It’s a lot for opponents to chew on as they prepare to face two, three or four of these pitchers, depending on the series. It’s also a lot for the team’s two new catchers to keep straight; the five starters can throw about 28 different pitches. “This is an established group, so it’s not like I’m going to come in here and teach them all new pitches,” said veteran catcher Yan Gomes, who joined the team with Kurt Suzuki this offseason. “It’s such a great staff that you just want to fit in in a way that works best for them.” Health will be the biggest factor for this staff, and health is why building around starters is always a risk. Joe Ross, Erick Fedde, Jefry Rodriguez, Tommy Milone, Kyle McGowin, Austin Voth and A.J. Cole combined to make 31 replacement starts last year. They had a collective 6.07 ERA and the Nationals went 1219 in those games, contributing to an 82-80 record that kept them well outside the playoff picture. “We need 200 innings out of a few of our starters,” said Lilliquist, though he didn’t specify which ones. “The bottom line is, bell-to-bell, we have to make every start. That’s what it comes down to with this group because we know how good they can be.” JESSE DOUGHERTY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

NO. 3 JUAN SOTO
The number of walks Juan Soto, 20, had last season — the most for a teenager since 1900. He hit 18 of his 22 home runs off fastballs and slugged .696 against the pitch, according to FanGraphs.

AROUND THE DIAMOND
New faces aim to fill a few holes
After two straight NL East titles, the Nationals missed the playoffs in 2018 — the first season with manager Dave Martinez at the helm. In the offseason, Washington identified some of its biggest problem areas and made moves in an attempt to fill those holes. Here are the new faces and why they could help the Nationals return to the postseason. JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

Infield

Starting rotation
Bullpen
What’s new: Kurt Suzuki and Yan Gomes, above, will rotate at catcher, and Brian Dozier will replace Daniel Murphy as the starting second baseman.
What’s new: Center fielder Victor Robles, above, was called up late last season and played in 21 games in September. He’ll assume a much larger role this year with Bryce Harper in Philly and Michael A. Taylor opening the year on the injury list.
What’s new: Left-hander Patrick Corbin signed a six-year, $140 million contract, and right-hander Anibal Sanchez, above, signed a two-year, $19 million deal.
What’s new: Former Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal, above, signed a one-year deal after missing all of 2018 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Veteran left-hander Tony Sipp, 35, and righty Kyle Barraclough were also added to the bullpen.
Reason to be optimistic: Dozier adds power to a middle infield that was without Murphy for more than 100 games last year. As a team, the Nats’ second basemen had just 15 home runs and 67 RBIs in 2018. Over the past five seasons, Dozier has averaged 32 homers and 87 RBIs per 162 games. At catcher, Matt Wieters struggled mightily at the plate the past two seasons, so Suzuki and Gomes, who was an AllStar last year in Cleveland, should be major upgrades.
Reason to be optimistic: Robles, 21, won’t have to fill Harper’s big shoes on his own. Left fielder Juan Soto, 20, is expected to continue to develop after one of the most productive teenage seasons in MLB history. And veteran right fielder Adam Eaton looks healthy after playing in 118 games over two seasons with Washington.
Reason to be optimistic: Gio Gonzalez and Tanner Roark had 354 starts for the Nats from 2012 through 2018, winning 150 games. But both struggled last season. The ERAs that Gonzalez (4.57) and Roark (4.34) had with the Nats last year were more than a run higher than Corbin (3.15) and Sanchez (2.83) had in 2018. Stephen Strasburg, Max Scherzer and Corbin have each finished in the top five in NL Cy Young voting at least once in the past two seasons.

NO. 5 RYAN ZIMMERMAN
GETTY IMAGES
NO. 4 ANTHONY RENDON
The number of doubles Rendon hit in 2018 — tied with the Braves’ Freddie Freeman for the most in the NL. He has received at least one top-10 NL MVP vote in three of the past five season, finishing 11th last year.
Reason to be optimistic: Rosenthal, who once had 93 saves in a two-year span (2014-15), was hitting triple-digits this spring and will likely be the set-up man for closer Sean Doolittle. Sipp is a much-needed left-handed specialist, and Barraclough will be able to eat up some innings; he had at least 60 appearances each of the past three seasons for Miami.
The number of games Zimmerman played last season. Over the past five years, the only season he has played in more than 115 games was in 2017, when he was an All-Star and had 36 homers and 108 RBIs.
MANAGER Among the notes tacked to Dave Martinez’s bulletin board at spring training was one entitled Face Fear Like Bison. He came across the passage in the offseason, after the Nationals (82-80) missed the playoffs in his first season as manager. The note said: “When a storm brews on the horizon, most animals run away from it. But bison instinctively run directly toward storms to minimize the amount of time they’re exposed to the elements. So face adversity head-on …” Martinez believes injuries were a big part of last season’s problems, but said he and the team also needed to improve. That meant extra defensive drills this spring, for example, rather than a light-hearted stunt like last year’s visit from “get over the hump” camels. Martinez prepared for spring training by staying in Washington over the winter and watching videos of games from 2018. “Were there some things he would change that he did last year? That he learned from? Yes, 100 percent,” first baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. Closer Sean Doolittle said the players have picked up on Martinez’s sense of urgency. “That has an effect on guys here,” Doolittle said. “Like: We’re not going to wait. We can’t dig ourselves a hole in the division. We’ve got to go from Day One — and go right at that storm.” HOWARD FENDRICH (AP)

Dan Kolko SPORTS BROADCASTER
You’ve seen Dan Kolko on the Nationals’ field, though not as a player. For the past five years, Kolko has been covering the Nats as the on-field reporter for regional network MASN, handling interviews as well as occasionally dodging Gatorade (or, as in 2014’s locker room celebration after the Nationals clinched the NL East, beer). Starting with the season opener Thursday, Kolko is moving into the studio for his new job: hosting the pre- and post-game shows. Covering the hometown team comes naturally for Kolko, 33, who grew up in Silver Spring and now lives a short walk from the stadium in Navy Yard. Before he ventures out on his D.C. dream day, Kolko would like to work out one small detail. “When is The Washington Post going to pay for me to do all these things?” he says. “I think that’s a reasonable request.” I really enjoy sleep, especially during baseball season when our nights can be long. Once I eventually roll out of bed, I’ll make my way to Philz Coffee. They’ve got a nice little patio area and there are seemingly billions of dogs on their morning walks with their owners. So I’ll just grab a coffee and sit outside and pet all the
pups that are walking by. Then I’ll make my way over to the water area and do some kayaking on the Potomac. I love being out on the water in general and doing something active with friends. I love tacos, and my favorite taco place is Taqueria Habanero.
Then maybe I’d make my way to Pearl Dive Oyster Palace. They’ve got a little patio area, and I’d maybe have some oysters and a happy hour drink and just enjoy the weather. I try to try new restaurants all the time, but one of my favorites — if not my absolute favorite — is RPM Italian. It’s a really good vibe in there. Every time I look at that menu, I seriously struggle because I could eat everything on it. And usually want to. In 2017, Dave Chappelle, who’s my favorite comedian, did a show at the Warner Theatre that I saw and it was just fantastic. So maybe Dave has some new material he wants to test out, or he’s got a new set that he’s going around touring on. Another Dave Chappelle show would be a lot of fun. To wrap up the night, I really like POV at the W hotel. The room is so nice; you can see out over the entire city. I’d wrap the active and somewhat alcohol- and food-fueled day with a drink or two. I have in the last couple of years become a big bourbon guy, so I’ll typically just get a bourbon over a couple ice cubes and sip on that for a little bit. AS TOLD TO KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

“It’s easier to dismiss or forget a number than it is a human being in a story. Numbers feel mechanical, but story is human and art goes directly to the heart.” LIZA JESSIE PETERSON, on why her one-woman show “The Peculiar Patriot” doesn’t just focus on prison statistics
‘Peculiar Patriot’ takes an unflinching look at mass incarceration STAGE Liza Jessie Peterson had just started teaching poetry workshops at Rikers Island in 1998 when a correctional officer asked if she knew where she was. “I said, ‘Yes, I’m at Rikers Island,’” Peterson recalls. “He said, ‘No, you’re on the modernday plantation.’” Then the officer pointed toward the adolescent boys Peterson was there to teach. “That,” he said, “is the new cotton.” Peterson was the one who left her class with homework that night: The officer asked her to look up the term “prisonindustrial complex” so she could better orient herself in her new surroundings. “It was at that moment, back in ’98, that I was boot-kicked, for a lack of a better term, down the
rabbit hole,” Peterson says. That plunge led her to create “The Peculiar Patriot,” a one-woman show that begins a three-week run Monday at Woolly Mammoth Theatre. Written and performed by Peterson, the play takes place on the visitors’ floor of a correctional facility in upstate New York as the titular character, Betsy LaQuanda Ross, sits down with her unseen friend, an inmate named Joann. It’s a conversation packed with humor, neighborhood gossip and sobering conclusions about mass incarceration. When Peterson began researching the topic, she found herself engulfed in a “massive abyss of information and statistics” regarding the expansion of the prison population, and the corresponding economic gains made by the government and private companies at the expense of minority populations. While the show makes use of the staggering numbers related to the prison-industrial complex
— including the fact that the 2.3 million people behind bars in the United States marks an increase of 1.9 million since 1972 — Peterson aimed to write a show that was first and foremost anchored in story and character. “It’s easier to dismiss or forget a number than it is a human being in a story,” Peterson says. “Numbers feel mechanical, but story is human and art goes directly to the heart.” Peterson began writing “The Peculiar Patriot” in 2001 and first put on the play two years later. From 2003 to 2008, she performed the show for audiences of inmates at more than 30 prisons across the country. It wasn’t until 2017 that “The Peculiar Patriot” made its formal premiere, running off-Broadway at the National Black Theatre. “The reason I was actually performing in prisons for so long is traditional theaters were not interested in the subject matter at that time,” says Peterson, who
took a full-time teaching role at Rikers Island in 2008. “This is before social justice was cachet.” Since then, the topic has evolved into more of a hot-button issue. In December, for example, a sweeping criminal justice bill — called the First Step Act — was signed into law to bipartisan support. For Peterson, a Georgetown alumna, “The Peculiar Patriot’s” D.C. run represents both a homecoming and a unique opportunity to spread her play’s topical message to an audience on the footsteps of Capitol Hill. “I hope that people are paying more attention to the prisonindustrial complex and mass incarceration,” Peterson says. “I hope that people are galvanizing to not even reform it — because how do you reform slavery? — but abolish it.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS) Woolly Mammoth Theatre, 641 D St. NW; Mon. through April 20, $20-$69.

A prisoner of the system
Maggie Rogers lives out her dreams at 9:30 MUSIC Maggie Rogers is living her dreams. The 24-year-old pop singer clearly relished her two sold-out shows this week at 9:30 Club, about 90 minutes from her childhood home in Easton, Md. “I grew up checking the listings for this venue religiously,” Rogers told Tuesday’s crowd. “It’s very special to be here.” Monday and Tuesday’s shows were Rogers’ first in D.C. since releasing her major-label debut, January’s “Heard It in a Past Life,” which debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s albums chart. Rogers has a knack for writing personal pop songs about love and life that feel universal. She can also craft a big hook, best evident on breakout singalongs “Alaska” and “Light On.” Rogers’ stage presence suggested that she may have outgrown 9:30 before she even got there. She kind of did: The club had a truck out front selling tickets to her just-announced Oct. 8 show at sister venue The Anthem (officially on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketfly). “This record is about change happening very quickly and being scared,” she said. “The thing that kept me coming back every night was knowing that this is what I wanted to do with my life.” During “Overnight,” Rogers got animated, vamping on the line “lie to me” as she danced around the stage. It wasn’t hard to imagine her back in her childhood bedroom, dreaming of headlining at 9:30. Only this time, it wasn’t a dream. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

Faces of a movement Portraits tell the story of American women’s long road to voting
EXHIBITS American women gained the right to vote in 1920. So why does “Votes for Women: A Portrait of Persistence,” opening Friday at the National Portrait Gallery, start in 1832 and go all the way up to 1965? “The 19th Amendment didn’t wrap things up in a pretty bow,” says Kate Clarke Lemay, who curated the exhibit, which is being mounted as part of the Smithsonian’s American Women’s History Initiative “Because of Her Story.” “It didn’t resolve the disenfranchisement of women for everybody. Black women, Native American women — any minority woman — still had all of these impediments to their voting

rights until 1965,” when the Voting Rights Act was passed. The irony of that lies in the fact that black women were instrumental in the beginning of the women’s suffrage movement. Many of the early leaders
— black and white — were abolitionists, who often used the strategy of humanizing enslaved people to call attention to the inhumanity of slavery. “So I started in 1832, which was when The Liberator, an
abolitionist newspaper, published an illustration of [an enslaved woman] asking, ‘Am I not a woman and a sister?’ ” Lemay says. “It’s basically pointing out her humanity. [Early suffragettes] were radicalized by the abolitionist movement.” While the exhibition does showcase related artifacts, it’s the portraits of the suffragettes (examples are above) that make up the bulk of what visitors will see. “Portraits are powerful because they give a feeling of a relationship, or a bridge through time,” Lemay says. “You can see these beautiful dresses they’re wearing; they cared about the dignity of sitting for a portrait. They wanted to make sure they looked dignified because they were being accused left and right of not being dignified.” The exhibition includes examples of those accusations.

Thomas Nast — the guy who invented our modern idea of Santa Claus — drew a caricature portraying Victoria Woodhull, who ran for president on a third-party ticket in 1872 and promoted ideas like non-monogamy and women’s equality in matters relating to marriage, in a very unflattering light. “Her hair is crazy; she’s got this hairdo that makes her look like she has horns on her head,” Lemay says. “And then, mixed in with these wings — she clearly looks like a demon.” “Votes for Women” is about history, of course, but it also occupies a unique place in today’s world of museum exhibits. “I don’t know how often a major museum has put on an exhibition where you walk through the galleries and the only things you see are women,” Lemay says. “I mean, there’s not a single man in the show — unless it’s a husband.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Forbidden but not forgotten
THE PALACE MUSEUM PHOTOS
A new exhibit uncovers the powerful women behind China’s Qinq dynasty
This painting, likely from the 1760s, depicts the consort of the Qianlong emperor and the future Jiaqing emperor.
EXHIBITS During China’s Qing dynasty, there was a draft of sorts for girls around 15 who were born to high-ranking families. Every three years, the emperor would summon these young women to Beijing, so that he could select the most beautiful, healthy and virtuous ones to be his wives. The chosen girls were married to the emperor in a midnight ceremony, and then they disappeared into a walled palace complex known as the Forbidden City. Cut off from their families and friends, these young women had one all-consuming goal: to get pregnant by the emperor and bear him a son. This may sound like a nightmare scenario, but it does these women a disservice to think of them as victims, says Jan Stuart, co-curator of “Empresses of China’s Forbidden City, 1644–1912,” an exhibit opening Saturday at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. “A lot of us to try to judge these women by today’s standards, but they lived in a totally different time period. And despite the fact they had a lot of what we would consider serious constraints, it’s amazing to see what full and meaningful lives they lived,” Stuart says. “It gives me pride to know that wherever women are, they’ll make the best of it. They’ll figure out what they can do, and they’ll do something.” The women who lived in the Forbidden City were largely left out of China’s official records,

but you can glean a lot about them from their sumptuous belongings, Stuart says. This exhibit, which brings a treasure trove of royal portraits, clothing, jewelry and other objects to D.C., offers an unprecedented look into their cloistered lives. “There’s such beauty, such color, such detail in these objects. There’s not a drop of minimalism — the Qing dynasty is all about bling,” Stuart says. “Some of these objects have never left the Forbidden City before now.” The empress — the formal wife of the emperor — laid claim

to many of the most beautiful things. Often chosen from an important or wealthy family, she was drafted into the Forbidden City as the emperor’s top wife from among his many consorts, and her role included accompanying him at state events and presiding over certain ceremonies. Beneath the empress, the consorts were divided into seven ranks, with each consort provided food, clothes and servants according to her status. Giving birth to a son got you an automatic promotion up a level or two. If your son became the next emperor, you got to be empress dowager, the most powerful woman in China, though you’d generally stay behind the scenes. Since any of the emperor’s wives could raise the next emperor, the system became something of a meritocracy within a dynasty, with the most able and ambitious sons — and mothers — grabbing the reins of power. “The next heir to the throne is chosen by the reigning emperor according to what he thinks are the merits of his son,” Stuart says. “So if he has a low-ranking wife who has a son and an empress who has a son, he will actually be comparing the two boys as equals.” Due to familial ties and the traditional Chinese value of filial piety, the empress dowager
could wield significant political power through her emperor son. In fact, one empress dowager, Cixi, became China’s de facto ruler in 1861 and held on to that power for nearly five decades. “Even though there is an official statement that ‘women shall not rule,’ she does rule. Cixi was the most powerful woman in the Qing dynasty, and one of the most powerful women in Chinese history,” Stuart says. Cixi started as a low-ranking consort, but she gave birth to the emperor’s only male heir. The boy ascended to the throne at the age of 6, so Cixi formed an alliance with her mother-in-law and staged a coup, which allowed her to become her son’s primary adviser. When her son died at the age of 18, Cixi maintained power by installing another young emperor, her 4-year-old nephew. You can glimpse a little of Cixi’s power and influence through her portrait and other belongings on display in the exhibit. Only emperors were allowed to order royal porcelain, but Cixi did it anyway, and one of the pieces she designed — a flower pot with peonies and birds, stamped with Cixi’s seal of ownership — is part of the exhibit. It was also considered unseemly for high-ranking women to have their images displayed CONTINUED ON PAGE 26

in public, but Cixi grasped the importance of promoting her image internationally. She asked American artist Katharine A. Carl to paint her portrait so it could be exhibited at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. The resulting oil painting, part of the exhibit, shows Cixi in imperial yellow, with phoenixes in the background — fantastical creatures that alight upon the earth only at times of great righteousness, per Chinese tradition. “This was a symbol that she really liked because the phoenix
is the ‘king of the birds,’ and all the other birds pay homage to him,” Stuart says. One of Stuart’s favorite pieces in the show is a painting of a phoenix made by Cixi herself. “It’s doubly cool because it’s not just done with a brush. It’s a finger painting, and you can actually find her thumbprint in it,” Stuart says. Cixi is a fantastic example of a woman who, against the odds, managed to put her thumbprint on Chinese history. As for the other power-wielding empresses, they were so good at staying
behind the scenes that we can only glimpse their importance by considering their sumptuous belongings, Stuart says. “One aspect of this exhibit is rediscovering or uncovering some of the significance of these women,” she says. “They were surrounded by exquisite things, with quality and workmanship on par with objects that belonged to the emperor himself.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

D.C.-based band Nah. is, from left, Chris Smith, Brendan Ra Tyler, Zack Be, Stephen Rodriguez and Emma Bleker.
With ‘Patchwork,’ D.C.’s Nah. opens a dialogue The band’s debut, out Friday, explores mental health issues head-on MUSIC D.C.-based band Nah. had basically finished debut album “Patchwork” when singer Emma Bleker and bassist Brendan Ra Tyler had an idea for a new song. The two went down to the basement practice space in the Falls Church house they share with drummer Stephen Rodriguez and started roughing out “Fractal,” a sparse, raw song that’s just Bleker on vocals and Tyler on bass. Because the basement doubles as Spaceship Sound Studio, they were able to quickly record the song after Rodriguez, who produced the album in that space, heard them working on it. “Fractal” ended up coming out as a single last week, ahead of Friday’s release of “Patchwork.” “It’s one of my favorites on the album … so it was cool that we had that freedom to add that,” Bleker says. “Because we are all in that space all the time, we get to hear what the others are creating in the house.” Tyler, 25, started Nah. in 2015
with Rodriguez, 26, whom he met at an open jam. Bleker, 23, joined two years ago, and the rest of the lineup — guitarist Chris Smith, 29, and keyboard player Zack Be, 27 — solidified in the past year. Many of the songs on “Patchwork,” which the band will celebrate the release of at Pearl Street Warehouse on Friday, deal directly with mental health, something that’s drawn Tyler, Bleker and Rodriguez together. “I started writing music to deal with my own mental health issues,” Tyler says. “I wasn’t planning on sharing it with anybody … but I started playing and people started hearing it and expressing that they connected with it. I think that’s the core of the band, in my eyes at least: really getting introspective and dealing with things that are going on in our brains.” You can hear Bleker overtly grapple with her issues on the dreamy pop-rock song “Brainsick.” “It’s not a sad thing,” she says. “It’s an opportunity for connection. It’s an opportunity to be like, ‘Hey, all of us have this stuff going on and you shouldn’t feel bad talking about it.’ ” The band’s members hope that
by writing about these topics, they can help destigmatize discussions around mental health. (Fittingly, keyboardist Be is studying to be a therapist at the University of Maryland.) “Making music is a deeply joyous place,” Bleker says. “Even if you’re talking about things that might evoke some sadness, or you’re talking about sadness, there is an inherent joyousness in letting go and being able to talk about it in a place that is joyful and accepting.” The group has tried to cultivate an open space where everyone can be themselves, which comes across in Nah.’s sound, a mix of indie rock, dream pop, psych rock, punk and even funk. “When Emma first joined the band, I remember her coming to us one time with something that she felt like wouldn’t fit,” Rodriguez says. “And we had a really intense conversation about how everything that [she does] would fit because that’s what we are.” “We keep it open,” Tyler adds, “so that we can keep it honest.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

MUSIC
‘Voyagers’
Muse
Each planet has its own personality and unique sound in composer Gustav Holst’s “The Planets.” D.C.-based Company E adds movement to Holst’s orchestral suite with the premiere of “Voyagers: A Dance Among ‘The Planets.’” This show, created for young theatergoers, blasts off for a spin around the solar system, with dancers interpreting Mars and Mercury against a backdrop of images from NASA. Kennedy
On “Simulation Theory,” Muse embraces the past to comment on the present. Everything from the album’s cover art — designed by the artist behind Netflix’s “Stranger Things” art — to the synth-heavy songs take cues from ’80s pop culture. Though more upbeat compared to previous albums, the band still hits on such topics as the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Brexit. Capital One
Sat. FESTIVALS
Trans Visibility Community Festival Organized by local nonprofits Casa Ruby, DC Area Transmasculine Society and Deaf Dawn, this free, all-ages event is a firstof-its kind D.C. festival that explicitly advocates for the trans community.

Ghostface Killah and Raekwon Ghostface Killah and Raekwon will do a joint set ahead of Wu-Tang Clan’s 25th anniversary tour. Both artists have flexed their versatility in recent years, collaborating with a range of contemporary artists and dabbling in film, TV and even video games.

The Fillmore, 8656 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Sat., 8:30 p.m., $29.50.
COHAN MEDIA GROUP
Center, 2700 F St. NW; Fri. through Sun., $20.
SATURDAY
The Women Directors Film Festival: Visionaries, Then and Now Smithsonian American Art Museum, Eighth and F streets NW; Sat., noon-9 p.m., free.
The Smithsonian has beefed up its slate of film screenings over the last year, and on Saturday the American Art Museum will host an all-day festival showcasing works from female directors. Some of the featured movies include the remastered 1991 film “Daughters of the Dust,” above, by Julie Dash, 1989’s “Surname Viet Given Name Nam” by Trinh T. Minh-ha and Tiffany Chung’s 2012 work “The Great Simplicity Thousands of Years Before and After.” The event will also have post-film discussions with media scholars and other experts.
Sun. MUSIC
I’m With Her with Verona Quartet A jam session at a bluegrass festival in 2014 led to singers and multi-instrumentalists Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz and Aoife O’Donovan joining forces as I’m With Her. The Americana trio didn’t release an album until last year’s “See You Around,” which blends the group’s distinct voices and perspectives. For this show during the Kennedy Center’s Direct Current festival, string ensemble Verona Quartet will join the band. Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Sun., 8 p.m., $29-$49.
SUNDAY
Mariah Carey The Theater at MGM National Harbor, 101 MGM National Ave., Oxon Hill, Md.; 8 p.m., sold out.
Pushing 50, Mariah Carey is still every bit the icon she was when she first rose to prominence nearly three decades ago. She’s touring in support of her 2018 album “Caution,” which featured such artists as Ty Dolla $ign and Gunna and reached No. 1 on the R&B/hip-hop charts. But Carey’s set list also runs through a few of her 18 No. 1 records, including “Vision of Love,” “Emotions” and “Always Be My Baby,” while even including a medley from “Glitter.”
Arena, 601 F St. NW; Tue., 7:30 p.m., $43.50-$98.89. STAGE
‘Grand Hotel’ Set in 1920s Berlin, “Grand Hotel” follows the eclectic staff and clientele of a high-class hotel. It’s where debutantes co-exist among blue-collar workers and hopeful starlets looking for their big break. The creative team behind Signature’s popular musical “A Little Night Music” bring the roaring ‘20s back to life in this show with a lively score. Signature Theatre, 4200 Campbell Ave.; Tue. through May 19, $40-$109.
Wed. MUSIC
Patty Griffin “River,” off of Patty Griffin’s new self-titled album, finds the veteran folk artist reflecting on her perseverance after she was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. The life-threatening news informed the writing of her latest effort, which is one of the most introspective works that Griffin — who beat the disease and is back on the road — has put out in her lengthy career. 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Wed., 7 p.m., $40.

Big Wild: Big Wild’s rise can be attributed to his remix collaborations with artists such as Sylvan Esso, Gallant and Odesza. But the producer and engineer’s “Superdream” is a statement of his musical individuality. “City of Sound” deftly fuels the festival sound of EDM with tinges of funk and disco. The album also finds Big Wild using his own vocals. See how it translates Friday at 9:30 Club.

Gary Clark Jr.: A brush with racism was a chief inspiration for “This Land,” guitarist Gary Clark Jr.’s third studio album and most defiant to date. While the singersongwriter’s blues inspiration is apparent throughout the album, Clark infuses a variety of genres — from funk to R&B, hip-hop to metal — with ease. A performer for nearly two decades, the 35-year-old will headline The Anthem on Saturday.

A shift behind the camera Women of color have made major strides for diversity in Hollywood ENTERTAINMENT In many ways, it has already been a historic year for black women in Hollywood. Ruth E. Carter, the 30-plusyear veteran of film costume design, received her first Oscar win and third nomination for her work on 2018’s “Black Panther.” Hannah Beachler, who also worked on the film, became the first African-American to win an Oscar for production design. Even with their awards, black women have amassed only three wins in non-acting categories in the Academy Awards’ 91-year history. The number of awards for black women behind the camera in television is not much better. In the Emmys’ 70-year history, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has nominated fewer than 75 black women in non-acting categories. These awards aren’t the barometer for black women’s success, but the recognition opens doors. Beyond accolades and praise, it is meaningful that black women are increasingly at the helm of telling stories featuring women of color as fully actualized, flawed, multidimensional characters. Last year, Ava DuVernay became the first woman of color to direct a live-action film with a
budget over $100 million with her vibrant, black-girl-centered “A Wrinkle in Time.” Shonda Rhimes is one of most powerful forces in Hollywood, and she recently inked a nine-figure deal with Netflix. Janet Mock became the first black, transgender woman to write and direct a TV episode, Pose’s “Love Is the Message.” These milestones were individually celebrated, but combined they show the collective progress of black women in Hollywood. Only 28 years ago, Julie Dash became the first black female filmmaker to have a full-length general theatrical release with “Daughters of the Dust.” Many of the barriers Dash faced remain intact, making the accomplishments of black women behind the camera even more astonishing. The stories they have elected to tell explore the fullness of black womanhood. Friendships between black millennials are central to Issa Rae’s “Insecure.” Lena Waithe’s “The Chi” depicts contemporary life in a black neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. Rhimes’ collection of ABC shows remains a juggernaut anchored by black women behind the camera. And, after three seasons, DuVernay’s Southern family drama “Queen Sugar” remains one of the few shows to routinely employ black women as directors and writers. A new generation of artists is also in the mix. Marsai
‘Bird Box’ author ups the ambition with ‘Inspection’
JORDAN PEELE, during a Q&A on Monday in Los Angeles, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Oscar-winning
BOOK REVIEW Josh Malerman is best known for his deeply original novel “Bird Box.” A sequel, “Malorie,” is set to publish in October. In the meantime, we have “Inspection,” a novel released last week whose premise is more ambitious than that of “Bird Box.” A married couple, convinced that “genius is distracted by the opposite sex,” create an elaborate world in the woods of northern Michigan where 26 boys are raised from birth in one tower and 26 girls in another; neither group is allowed to know another sex exists. These children fear something called simply “the corner,” where two boys and one girl have been sent — and from which they never returned. When the novel opens, the “Alphabet Boys” are 12 years old and the “Letter Girls” are 11. Then two especially precocious tweens — a boy named J and a girl named K — figure out something is amiss. “Inspection” is rich with dread and builds to a dramatic climax. The last hundred pages are tense as we watch these young kids make decisions that will lead either to emancipation or the corner. But Malerman reminds us the real horror is not the blood that will splatter the towers. It is not the loss of innocence precisely, but something subtler and more poignant — the malevolence that could see yearning and love as something negative in the first place.

Martin, who plays Diane on ABC’s “Black-ish,” became the youngest person in Hollywood to produce a movie, doing so at age 14. Tracy Oliver, who became the first African-American woman to write a film that grossed over $100 million with “Girls Trip” in 2017, is adapting the novel “The Sun Is Also a Star” for film. Oliver is also behind the TV adaptation of the movie “The First Wives Club,” centering on an African-American cast. In a time of such advancement

and in the midst of Women’s History Month, it is fitting to remember the first known film directed by a black woman. Ninety-one years ago, Zora Neale Hurston captured footage of African-American folklore for “Children’s Games.” In the century since, black women have continued to break barriers behind the camera — though their stories have been somewhat untold and under-celebrated until now.

“Good morning! Go forth and conquer the day! Become someone’s nemesis!” @SAMSANDERS, on the phenomenon
of having an online nemesis. Having a nemesis — an idea popularized in recent years by author Roxane Gay — doesn’t need to mean you have an enemy. They can simply be a secret rival whose existence pushes you to be better in every aspect of life. The term took off this week after Atlantic writer Taylor Lorenz covered it for the magazine.
“I don’t believe that’s even a real hack. It’s a handle. Someone find the cutting board patent.” @QUEERPLATYPUS7, responding to several tweets from news
outlets linking to articles that show someone using the hole in a cutting board to filter chopped food so as not to spill it. Many people responded to the tweets with admiration for the life hack. Others were skeptical, saying the hole is merely a handle. @Queerplatypus7 tracked down a cutting board patent to confirm that it is indeed intended to be a handle.

“We regret to inform you that St. Louis is cancelled.” @BENTEV28, on a tweet from @AlekKrautmann earlier this week that showed a spread of bagels sliced like bread. “Today I introduced my coworkers to the St Louis secret of ordering bagels bread sliced. It was a hit!” he tweeted. Many dragged the method; some even called it a felony. Those who defended it noted that the extra surface area means more space for cream cheese or butter.
“Assemble the army... @stephenasmith’s office is under attack here at HQ.” @JERMAIL, tweeting about a turkey vulture that on Tuesday crashed into the office of television personality Stephen A. Smith at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn. The bird made a massive hole in the office’s glass window. Animal control officers were dispatched to the scene as ESPN employees live-tweeted the standoff. The bird survived and was eventually freed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may have to clean up after someone else who doesn’t even realize they left a mess. Better you than others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will want to be very careful as you schedule the day’s events. You can’t afford any confusion right now. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ve made a promise that you simply must keep today, come what may. Break it, and you risk your own reputation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may not approve of how someone is handling a tricky situation, but it’s not your place to step in. Yet. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Communication is the key to a successful day, and accuracy of information must be maintained. You cannot afford any miscues at this time.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION
Someone you’re used to working with may not be available today, so you’re going to have to work with a substitute — or go it alone for now. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are eager to be reunited with someone who inspires you. Together, you should be able to get started on something very big. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The

rules you set for yourself may not apply to everyone. Only you can live up to your own high standards right now.
TODAY: Another cool morning is followed by a noticeably warmer afternoon, thanks to a milder breeze from the south as high pressure moves offshore. Highs should reach the low- to mid-60s under mostly to partly sunny skies. It’s nice timing for opening day at Nationals Park, although it will be still a bit cool in the shade.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You’ll have the chance to review a recent situation and determine once and for all if you handled it correctly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may not derive much pleasure today from something that you usually enjoy. You have too much else on your mind right now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Local news affects you very little today, but something that happens far from home has an impact that you would never have expected.

EXPLANATIONS
Cardi writes first chapter of her memoir
He just likes to be alone, OK? In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Evans said he “fears being enveloped” in relationships. “I was always a really autonomous guy my whole life,” said the actor, who added that going camping solo is one of his favorite activities. “If I’m with someone who just kind of adopts my life, that can feel a bit suffocating.” Evans often keeps his relationships private, but he was most recently linked with Jenny Slate.
Cardi B is trying to clarify herself after a video resurfaced online where the rapper said she drugged and robbed men for money. The Grammy winner posted a long statement Tuesday on Instagram that she had “very limited options” and needed to do anything to “survive.” The former stripper says she hasn’t talked about those things in her music because “I’m not proud of it and feel a responsibility not to glorify it.” Cardi is facing backlash from the video, which she says is from three years ago. Cardi says the men she spoke about in the video were ones she dated and they were “conscious, willing and aware.” (AP)

Diana throws biggest birthday party of all time
Alanis Morissette is expecting her third child. The Canadian singer shared a picture of her bump on Instagram on Monday. “So much NEWness,” she wrote. ET Online reported that her comment may also refer to her upcoming musical, “Jagged Little Pill,” based off her 1995 album. Morissette and her husband, Mario “Souleye” Treadway, have a daughter and a son. (EXPRESS)
For her 75th birthday, Diana Ross had a two-part party on Tuesday that started with a star-studded pre-party and ended with a concert sung by the birthday girl herself. People reported that Beyonce sang “Happy Birthday” at the Los Angeles pre-party. Then the crowd moved to the Hollywood Palladium, where Ross gave a concert that involved five outfit changes and performances by Stevie Wonder and Diddy. (EXPRESS)

Regina Hall said that marijuana almost landed her mother in the hospital. On Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Hall said that she and her mom used some medical marijuana that was intended for Hall’s late dog, and her mom thought she was having a stroke. The actress nearly took her mom to the hospital, but a friend talked them down by saying: “You b----es are high!” (EXPRESS)
