A river safe to swim in?

The Potomac’s remarkable recovery makes that a possibility, annual report says

ENVIRONMENT The Potomac River is healthier than it’s been in decades, according to an annual state-of-theriver report that notes steady improvements across a range of environmental indicators, from water quality to wildlife growth to recreational uses.

The river report card, issued Tuesday by the Potomac Conservancy, awarded the waterway its first B, a grade based on declining pollution levels, the return of bald eagles and other native species, and the expansion of protected forests up and down a watershed stretching across more than 14,000 square miles.

It was the advocacy group’s highest rating in its 10 years of

monitoring river conditions, up from a B-minus last year and a D in 2011.

One biologist working with the group declared a new “golden age” of eagles, osprey and other waterfowl thriving within the tidal reach of the Chesapeake Bay, which includes the Potomac up to Washington.

“The comeback from where the river was just 10 years ago has been tremendous,” Potomac Conservancy President Hedrick Belin said in an interview. He cited decades of recovery initiatives including waste-treatment upgrades and agriculturalpollution controls for the success.

The Potomac is now on the verge of being one of the nation’s

“The speed at which Mother Nature, once given the space, has rebounded is remarkable.”

HEDRICK BELIN, president of the Potomac Conservancy, commenting on how the river has recovered faster than was expected

great river recovery stories, Belin said, putting it in the ranks of Boston’s Charles River and Portland’s Willamette as formerly no-go rivers that now invite residents into the water.

Overcoming obstacles XX0164 4x3

“In the next 10 years, the Potomac is poised to be the next urban river where you can go swimming,” Belin said. Conditions are already OK for a dip on many days, but not when rains flush more pollution off the banks.

Not all the news in the report is good. Pollution runoff rates continue to grow, as well as invasive species, such as flathead and blue catfish. Most worrying, the report said, are threats to the federal funding that have driven many of the improvements.

“We’ve made great progress,” Belin said, “but it’s certainly frightening how the progress could be undone.” STEVE HENDRIX (THE WASHINGTON POST)

never agree on the issue.

“However much you think is too much, this case is too much,” Kagan said.

She continued: “People were very upfront about what they were trying to do here, which was to create another Democratic district.”

But the same was true in the Wisconsin case, as the Republican-controlled legislature and Republican governor saw a chance to redraw the lines to

their party’s advantage.

The court has not issued a decision in that case.

Justice Stephen G. Breyer, who has favored a role for courts in deciding when political bias violates the Constitution, suggested combining the cases from Wisconsin and Maryland and a pending North Carolina case for a future hearing. It is unlikely he would propose such a course if he was confident about how the Wisconsin ruling would come down.

Breyer said it was important for the court to act — if it were going to — before the 2020 Census, when a new round of redistricting would begin. Technological innovations have made it easier for one-party-rule states to draw districts that will entrench them in power, he said.

“If you think what’s happened now is something, wait until you see those computers really working,” Breyer said. ROBERT BARNES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WASHINGTONPOST.COM GRADE POINT

JACQUELYN MARTIN (AP)

SUPREME COURT The Supreme Court has never struck down a state redistricting plan because of extreme partisan gerrymandering, and the justices’ deliberations Wednesday during their second look at the issue this term only underscored why.

At least one justice thinks the courts have no business secondguessing the political decisions of elected representatives. Others worry about being drawn into every redistricting dispute between Democrats and Republicans. And even the justices who see gerrymandering as an evil are torn about the constitutional test that should be applied.

After justices considered during the first week of their term a Republican-drawn plan from Wisconsin that hurt Democrats and, now, a Democratic-drawn plan in Maryland that undermined a Republican congressman, there was a sense the conversation was moving in circles.

Justice Elena Kagan suggested that if the court couldn’t find a constitutional problem in the Maryland redistricting, it might

Teen charged in sexual assault of woman who was then chased into Anacostia River

Six employees of Howard University were fired for “gross misconduct and neglect of duties” after school officials discovered that financial aid money had been misappropriated, school leaders confirmed Wednesday.

A university investigation discovered that for nine years — from 2007 to 2016 — some employees who received tuition benefits to cover the cost of taking classes were also receiving university grants.

That double dipping exceeded the actual cost of attendance, signaling that the workers appeared to be embezzling.

The news of misappropriated university funds marks the latest blow to Howard’s reputation. The school’s president, Wayne A. I. Frederick, came under fire earlier this month when he criticized a student for her tone when she expressed concern about whether she would get housing.

And six women have accused the school of mishandling sexual assault allegations.

Frederick released a statement Wednesday about the financial aid misdeeds and promised that measures had been instituted to prevent a recurrence of the misappropriation.

University officials did not immediately reveal how much money was involved in the matter. SARAH LARIMER AND DANIELLE DOUGLAS-GABRIEL

local Federal judge decides D.C., Maryland have standing to sue Trump POLITICS A federal judge ruled that the District of Columbia and Maryland may proceed with an unprecedented lawsuit against President Trump alleging that Trump’s business dealings have violated the Constitution’s ban on receiving improper “emoluments,” or payments, from individual states and foreign governments.

The ruling, by U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte in Maryland, marks the first time that a lawsuit of this kind has cleared the initial legal hurdle — that the plaintiffs have legal standing to sue the president.

In this case, Messitte found that D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, D, and Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh, D, have legal standing to sue Trump over the business of the Trump International Hotel in downtown Washington.

Messitte said he rejected an argument previously made by

The Justice Department, representing the president, did not say whether it would appeal.

Dowd floated pardon idea for Manafort, Flynn

FIT FOR A KING

Makeover of Tut’s tomb almost done

POLITICS President Trump’s lawyer told attorneys representing Paul Manafort last summer that the president might be willing to pardon his former campaign chairman if he was charged with a crime stemming from the investigation into Russian election interference, according to people familiar with the discussions.

John Dowd, then Trump’s lead lawyer, was described as floating the idea of a pardon for Manafort during the time he was under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, but had not yet been charged, these people said.

D owd , who resig ned as Trump’s lawyer last week, also floated the offer of a pardon last summer to attorneys for former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to a report Wednesday by The New York Times.

Mueller indicted Manafort on multiple charges of financial fraud in October. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to investigators and agreed to cooperate with the Mueller probe in December.

Dowd insisted Wednesday that he did not raise the idea of pardons with lawyers representing the two men.

“I had no such discussion with them,” Dowd said in a phone

Move was discussed before Mueller brought charges, sources say

Then-Trump lawyer John Dowd allegedly told lawyers for Paul Manafort, left, and Michael Flynn, right, that the president was considering pardons.

interview. “We never talked about pardons. There was no reason to talk about pardons.”

A spokesman for Manafort, Jason Maloni, declined to comment.

Robert Kelner, an attorney for Flynn, also declined to comment.

Legal experts said prosecutors could view the dangle of a presidential pardon to people under investigation as a criminal effort to obstruct justice.

Raising such a possibility could be viewed as an incentive for witnesses not to cooperate with investigators.

What Dowd precisely offered — and whether Trump was involved — could now become part of Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 election and whether there was any coordination with the

Trump campaign. The inquiry has included examining whether the president has taken steps to obstruct or stop the probe.

In December, after Flynn pleaded guilty, Trump was asked by reporters if he would be willing to pardon Flynn. Trump replied he wasn’t ready to discuss it — “yet.”

“When you look at what’s gone on with the FBI and the Justice Department, people are very, very angry,” Trump said.

The possibility of a pardon raises new questions about why Manafort has repeatedly refused to cooperate with Mueller’s team. Manafort faces a raft of felony charges and, if convicted, faces decades in prison.

After nearly a decade, the makeover of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, an important Egyptian tourist attraction and archaeological site, is close to completion, the Getty Conservation Institute of Los Angeles announced Tuesday. The updates to the boy king’s resting place include a filtration system to expel dust, humidity and carbon dioxide, and a barrier to separate visitors from the tomb’s elaborate wall paintings. Tut ruled over 3,000 years ago and died at 19. His tomb went undiscovered and protected from raiders by flood debris until 1922. Tut himself remains on display in an oxygen-free case. (AP)

Women stress gender in pitch to 2018 voters POLITICS The record number of women expected to run for office this year are already breaking barriers, upending traditional campaigning by emphasizing their gender to an electorate they hope is eager for change.

Experts are predicting a historic wave of female candidates this year, driven in part

by Democrats frustrated over the election of President Trump, his actions and the actions of Congress, the Women’s March and the #MeToo movement.

Maryland Democratic candidate Krish Vignarajah, above, said the 2016 presidential election was a “rude awakening of what happens when we become complacent,” and that a campaign video in which she breastfeeds her child was designed to show the everyday life of many moms.

The candidates say their message to voters is that electing more women to office is not merely about representation.

It’s about a change in priorities so that more emphasis is placed on issues such as education, health care, early childhood development, workplace equality and paid family leave.

“For women, the expectations of gender and candidacies have often conflicted,” said Kelly Dittmar, a professor at Rutgers.

“They spent a lot of time talking about … how qualified they are.” But female candidates have grown more comfortable branching out, Dittmar said.

A strategic trip for Kim Analysts: Visit to China sends message to U.S. that moves on N. Korea must go through Xi

AFP/GETTY IMAGES/KCNA VIA KNS

ASIA A secretive meeting between North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and China’s Xi Jinping this week showcased enduring bonds between the two countries, highlighting the diplomatic challenge facing President Trump.

Kim, making what was believed to be his first foreign trip as leader, arrived in Beijing aboard a slow armored train Monday and met with Xi and other senior Chinese officials, according to North Korean and Chinese media.

The “unofficial” visit, which was not announced until after Kim left China, came just weeks before the North Korean leader is scheduled to see President Moon Jae-in of South Korea, followed by a planned summit with Trump.

The Beijing meeting, analysts said, was staged to show that North Korea-China ties are back on track, as underscored by photographs of energetic handshakes and an account of a heartfelt toast from Kim. The message to the United States: Any moves on North Korea must go through Xi. “Beijing is reasserting itself and looking to shape the agenda for the upcoming summits,” said Adam Mount, a senior fellow and director of the Defense Posture Project at the Federation of American Scientists.

“Divisions between Beijing and Pyongyang were a major asset to Trump’s pressure campaign,” Mount said. Reinforcing their ties would weaken “Trump’s hand in negotiations and diminish further the effectiveness of U.S. military threats,” Mount added.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, left, made a surprise trip to China on Tuesday and met with President Xi Jinping.

Political Science and Law, said Kim was using conflict between China and the United States to “obtain benefits from both sides.”

In international press coverage, Kim is often portrayed as an irrational madman, more of a punchline than a person, let alone a leader. Trump has referred to him as “little rocket man” in tweets.

Kim’s diplomatic debut will make it harder to dismiss him outright, experts said.

“We’re seeing a carefully crafted North Korean strategy on diplomacy unfold on the world stage, starting with Beijing,” Jean H. Lee, a North Korea expert and fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington, said in an email.

“Shutting China out and ramping up the rhetoric with the United States gave [Kim] the space and justification he needed to expedite the building of nuclear bombs and ballistic

Trump gets info from Xi President Trump said Wednesday there’s “a good chance” that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will “do what is right for his people and for humanity” and make moves toward peace.

missiles,” she wrote. “Now, with a program he feels confident is a proven threat, he feels emboldened to force the region’s leaders to treat him as an equal, not as the young son of a dictator who inherited power.”

China’s Xi may take issue with “equal.” There have been few signs that Xi is fond of Kim. Only two years into his reign,

Mega Millions estimated jackpot climbs to $502M, 10th-largest ever in U.S.

Kim had his uncle, who was North Korea’s main liaison with China, executed for building his own power base.

Then, in 2016, as Xi was hosting a Group of 20 summit on his home turf, Kim presided over the launch of three medium-range ballistic missiles, stealing the spotlight. The South Korean military called the move an act of “armed protest” against Xi. When Xi sent a top official to Pyongyang last year, Kim did not even see him.

Successive American administrations have called on China to use its economic leverage over North Korea to exert control.

But analysts say that China’s main priority has always been stability, and it does not want to do anything that could cause the collapse of the Kim regime, which could bring millions of hungry refugees — and, it fears, U.S. troops — to its door. EMILY RAUHALA AND ANNA FIFIELD (THE WASHINGTON POST)

VA head Shulkin fired by Trump POLITICS President Trump on Wednesday fired Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin in the wake of a bruising ethics scandal and a mounting rebellion within the agency, and nominated White House doctor Ronny Jackson to lead the agency.

A Navy rear admiral, Jackson is a surprise choice to succeed Shulkin, a former Obama administration official and the first non-veteran ever to head the VA. Jackson has served since 2013 as the Physician to the President, and gained a national profile earlier this year for holding a press conference on Trump’s health.

A White House official said Shulkin was informed of his dismissal by chief of staff John Kelly before the president announced the move on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.

Shulkin had continued to insist he had the full confidence of the White House amid continuing investigations over his travel and leadership of the department.

He had agreed to reimburse the government more than $4,000 after the VA’s internal watchdog concluded last month that he had improperly accepted Wimbledon

Trump has selected Robert Wilkie, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, to serve as the acting head of the VA. The selection of Wilkie bypasses VA Deputy Secretary Tom Bowman, who has come under criticism for being too moderate to push Trump’s agenda of fixing veterans’ care.

Utah adopts first ‘free-range parenting’ law TRENDS It all started when Lenore Skenazy let her 9-year-old ride the subway home alone. It was all his idea, and he made it home.

Her story, which she wrote about in the New York Sun in 2008, went viral, as parents across the country wondered whether she was “America’s Worst Mom” or one who valued her kid’s independence. She called her parenting style “free-range.”

And now it’s the basis of a new law in Utah. Gov. Gary R. Herbert, R, signed a “free-range parenting” bill into law earlier this month after it passed unanimously in both chambers of Utah’s legislature. It’s believed to be the first such law in the U.S. The measure exempts from the definition of child neglect various activities children can do without supervision, permitting “a child, whose basic needs are met and who is of sufficient age and maturity to avoid harm or unreasonable risk of harm, to engage in independent activities.”

Those activities include letting children “walk, run or bike to and from school, travel to commercial or recreational facilities, play outside and remain at home unattended.”

Under the law, state child welfare authorities can no longer take children away from their parents if their kids are caught doing those various activities alone, as long as they are adequately fed, clothed and cared for. MEAGAN FLYNN (TWP)

nation+world Under proposal, using almost any U.S. benefit could jeopardize status POLITICS Immigrants who accept almost any form of welfare or public benefit, even popular tax deductions, could be denied legal U.S. residency under a proposal awaiting approval by the Trump administration, which is seeking to reduce the number of foreigners living in the United States.

According to a draft of the proposal obtained by The Washington Post, immigration caseworkers would be required to consider a much broader range of factors when determining whether immigrants or their U.S.-citizen

children are using public benefits or may be likely to do so.

Current rules penalize immigrants who receive cash welfare payments, considering them a “public charge.” But the proposed changes from the Department of Homeland Security would widen the government’s definition of benefits to include the widely used Earned Income Tax Credit as well as health insurance subsidies and other “non-cash public benefits.”

The changes would apply to those seeking immigration visas, or legal permanent residency, such as a foreigner with an expiring work visa. While it would make little difference to those living illegally in the shadows, it could affect immigrants

Immigrants and their families facing a short-term crisis could potentially have to forgo help to avoid jeopardizing their U.S. residency status.

The proposal would also require more immigrants to post cash bonds if they have a higher probability of needing or accepting public benefits. The minimum bond amount would be $10,000, according to the DHS proposal, but the amount could be higher if an applicant is deemed at greater risk of neediness.

THREE POINTERS

Contenders in the NL

Chill boss.

Tense job.

According to betting website Bovada, the Nationals have 9/1 odds to win the World Series, sixth-best in baseball, despite never getting out of the first round.

Here’s a look at their competitors. (AP/EXPRESS)

In his first season as a major league manager, Martinez emphasizes health and relaxation SEASON PREVIEW Inside the manager’s office at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, Dave Martinez keeps a stress ball available for his many visitors at the desk where he answers eight fan letters a day.

The room is rather sparsely adorned, and Martinez’s ratio of laptops on his desk to art on his walls favors the former.

“Soon I’ll have a laptop for every player,” Martinez joked on a recent day in West Palm Beach, Fla. While he is not exactly analytics-obsessed, he is open-minded enough that you could believe his math.

The most prominent feature of the office this spring was a large motorized scooter gifted to him

by Gio Gonzalez. It has a Bluetooth speaker so loud Martinez felt he simply had to demonstrate it. Music was always wafting out of that office, even during games, in large part because the door was never shut to block the tones.

Many managers say they have an open-door policy. Martinez’s might as well be an edict.

“He’s been super genuine, really good with all of us,” Bryce Harper said. “That door’s wide open.”

Many of the inevitable questions about a rookie manager can’t be answered in March. How will he handle adversity? How will he handle the unexpected?

How will he handle October — and can he get there? But what can be answered now is whether Martinez can get a veteran team to buy into his unorthodox, laidback, don’t-take-it-too-seriously approach.

Max Scherzer ended up in the middle of a circle of his teammates doing something that resembled dancing when Martinez brought a DJ to practice last week. Ryan Zimmerman seems as happy as can be because his manager let him orchestrate his own spring training workload.

“His communication with the players, myself included, has been awesome,” Daniel Murphy said.

From the outside, the antics stand as the most memorable parts of camp. Everyone will remember the camels Martinez brought in for “Hump Day.” But to players, the general takeaway is that less is more — and fun does not preclude focus.

“Do we feel that all the extra stuff helps you win or lose games on the field? Probably not,” catcher Matt Wieters said. “But as far as making spring training not feel like it’s Groundhog Day ... it’s definitely welcome.”

At least once a week in spring training, Martinez set a late arrival time to give players time to sleep in or spend with family.

“He’s all about our family. He’s always asking us about that. He really cares about how we’re

feeling,” Harper said. “He’s done a great job talking to us.”

Martinez works competition into almost everything. When he

Nationals opener at Cincinnati postponed from today to Friday (4:10 p.m., MASN2) due to rainy forecast

had his players practice walk-off celebrations to wrap up a base running drill, Martinez’s reasoning was simple.

“We want to win,” he said. He wants his players to expect to win and to prepare to do so — celebrations included.

Relaxed vibes didn’t translate to an impeccable spring training.

The Nationals hovered around .500 in the Grapefruit League, which means as much as anyone wants to allow.

Nobody wins or loses anything on the field in spring training.

New managers can win over a clubhouse. Martinez is doing that, though this particular clubhouse is wise enough to know that the real tests come later.

Attention magnet

Bryce Harper tries to crack a smile, something the perfectionist rarely does on the job.

SEASON PREVIEW Bryce Harper’s grandmother used to tell him there were two things he should never talk about — politics and his salary. The Nationals’ resident superstar avoids the former with ease. Others talk about the latter for him.

This season might be the most scrutinized of Harper’s career.

He’s poised to be a free agent when it ends, a Hall of Fame-type player available to the highest bidder. A season on par with his 2015 campaign, in which he won NL MVP, could garner a record contract. A down year could lead to a disappointing deal, or at least not the history-making contract he was expected to get before this winter’s market freeze.

Harper has asked that no reporters inquire about his intentions for the future, hoping to limit exposure to those stresses.

For years, his fans have analyzed every word for insight into where he might go. All winter, most of the teams that might invest in his future eschewed spending, For all the bravado some see in him, Harper is only human.

This season, and all that comes with it, will test him.

“I think the thing that surprises you is that while he embraces the spotlight he gets, it may not be what he wants. He just wants to play baseball,” catcher Matt Wieters said. “From the outside, he looks like a guy who wants all the attention and wants everything. He deals with it because he has to, because he has that kind of talent.”

Harper rarely smiles in the clubhouse, more businesslike than boyish, but no lazier for the wear and success of six seasons.

“He is not even close in his own mind to a finished product,” bench coach Chip Hale said.

“A lot of times, players, you watch them and they’re happy ... with their performance. This guy’s never happy. You’re not sure, when guys are that talented. He’s always listening and he’s been very humble.”

As he’s matured, Harper has grown less willing to deal with the unnecessary attention of stardom.

Some stars flash fake smiles, but he seems unwilling to pander. If

JOHN MCDONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Everyone in the game will be watching Harper as he tries to maximize his value in his final season before free agency

Nats, Phillies in the lead As part of an annual survey, ESPN asked 43 personnel executives and scouts where they thought Bryce Harper will play next season. Of the 38 votes counted — including half votes for split answers — 15.5 think Harper will re-sign with Washington and 10.5 think he’ll defect to Philadelphia. The Cubs (3.5), Dodgers (3), Yankees (2.5), Angels (2) and Padres (1) also got votes. (TWP)

he speaks to reporters at all, he repeats canned phrases.

He is not a vocal leader. He leads with his bat. He has done more as a player by age 25 than almost anyone in MLB history.

Only 17 players have hit 150 home runs, driven in at least 400 runs and played in at least 750 games by 25, as Harper has. Only four of those players have walked more often — three Hall of Famers and Mike Trout. Harper has

The Wins Above Replacement (WAR), according to FanGraphs, for the Nats’ third baseman in 2017. That was the best in the NL and third among position players behind Aaron Judge (8.2) and Jose Altuve (7.5).

Astros at Rangers (3:35, ESPN)

accumulated 27.7 Wins Above Replacement (FanGraphs) since 2012, the 10th most in the majors in that span. Because of injuries, he has played in 45 fewer games than anyone ahead of him.

He is younger than all nine players ahead of him on that list which, combined with his marketability as an edgy star, is the reason so many have projected him to earn a deal exceeding the 13-year, $325 million contract the Marlins gave Giancarlo Stanton in 2014. Nothing seems certain now, but with a strong season, Harper should have no trouble finding an average annual value well above $30 million.

The Nationals will clear $80 million in payroll this winter, dipping their committed money to somewhere around $140 million. They do not want to commit a quarter or fifth of their payroll to one star.

They do not want to exceed the luxury tax threshold — $206 million next year — for a third straight year. Given how much payroll they clear in soonto-be free agents such as Harper, Daniel Murphy and Gio Gonzalez, signing Harper wouldn’t have to push them over that threshold.

And Washington — as represented by general manager Mike Rizzo — loves Harper the player.

Rizzo would defend Harper to the end. Those who have watched him grow feel similarly.

“I tell him every couple of weeks or so,” said third base coach Bob Henley, who has been present since Harper’s first day, “I sure enjoy watching you play baseball.”

Deep as ever but still imperfect

AP, WASHINGTON POST AND GETTY IMAGES

With four NL East titles in the past six years, regular-season competence isn’t among the dominant questions hovering over the Nationals this season. Two of the usual are present and obvious: Can they win a playoff series? Can they convince Bryce Harper to stay?

The following concerns, slightly smaller in scope, have the potential to trip up a talent-laden team before October. GABE HIATT (EXPRESS)

Can Eaton, Murphy return to form?

Can Zimmerman replicate last year?

Will Rizzo’s status be a distraction?

Will a fifth starter claim the job?

Will the bench have the same pop?

Adam Eaton put forth a dynamic 23 games in 2017, batting .297 as the leadoff hitter for the most prolific offense in the majors in April. After tearing his ACL in his left knee April 28, Eaton recovered in time to play in seven spring games, homering in his first game back. He is expected to be an upgrade over Jayson Werth in left field. All-Star second baseman Daniel Murphy, who has a .331 average and 197 RBIs in two seasons with Washington, begins the season on the 10-day disabled list amid a cautious recovery from microfracture surgery.

For Ryan Zimmerman, the 2017 season crystallized into one six-month-long “I told you so” moment.

He had maintained that, if healthy, he would produce again. Foot and rib injuries had limited the infielder to 271 games over three years, and he hit a sickly .218 in 2016. But a defiant Zimmerman then hit .303 last year — .330 in the first half — with a career-high 36 homers. This spring, the Nationals indulged the 33-year-old by letting him sit out all but one Grapefruit League game.

If he slumps early on, the organization will have to take the heat.

A paradox that plagues the Nationals could have its most dire effect yet.

The Lerner family has no problem paying for elite players — as Max Scherzer’s seven-year, $210 million deal proves — but often tightens up when it comes to paying a fair wage to members of the front office. Mike Rizzo, the architect of the roster whose contract expires in October, still doesn’t have a new deal. Uncertainty over the future of a topflight general manager could diminish players’ faith in the franchise and also affect Bryce Harper’s looming free agency.

Joe Ross underwent Tommy John surgery in July and won’t be ready to return until at least August.

His absence opens the fifth spot in the Nationals’ rotation. That job was thought to belong to A.J. Cole, who pitched to a 3.81 ERA in 11 appearances — eight of them starts — in 2017. But that changed March 16, when the Nats signed Jeremy Hellickson to a minor league deal.

Hellickson, 30, pitched for the Phillies and Orioles last year, posting a 6.97 ERA over 10 starts for Baltimore, but has started at least 27 games in six different seasons.

The leadership void left by Jayson Werth’s departure will be a popular topic of discussion this year, but a bigger loss might have come when the Nats let Adam Lind leave after one year in D.C. He tied for the major league lead in pinchhit homers (4) last year and hit .356 when coming off the bench. Washington elected to replace Lind with Matt Adams (6 feet 3, 260 pounds), another burly left-handed hitter.

Outfielder Brian Goodwin and infielder Wilmer Difo — who hit .373 with three homers in July — are back after excelling in backup duty last year.

268 MAX SCHERZER

The number of strikeouts for Scherzer, the most in the NL last year. Only Chris Sale had more (308) in the majors. After going 16-6 with a 2.51 ERA, Scherzer won his second straight NL Cy Young Award.

14.14 STEPHEN STRASBURG

The number of strikeouts per nine innings for Strasburg in the postseason last year, the most in the NL. He allowed no earned runs over 14 playoff innings, fanning 12 in Game 4 of the NLDS to extend the Nats’ season.

Bullpen finally in a solid place on opening day SEASON PREVIEW Remember last year, when the Nationals waited until the last day of spring training, to name Blake Treinen the closer? Within a month, three men had cycled through the role. By mid-July, Washington had the highest bullpen ERA in baseball. Players felt like they had to win games twice.

That sense of panic feels like it was forever ago, and that uncertainty doesn’t exist in 2018, at least not to the extent of last year’s club at this point.

There was no closer competition in spring training.

The roles are clearly defined.

Sean Doolittle will shut the door.

Ryan Madson and Brandon Kintzler will set him up. The three, all acquired before last July’s nonwaiver trade deadline, have given Washington a bullpen backbone perhaps unlike any other in its history.

Yet questions about the bullpen remain, even among those pillars. Doolittle is the team’s best left-hander, but he’s never been a closer for an entire season and has been on the disabled list with shoulder problems four times since the start of 2015. Madson is a 37-year-old flamethrower with his own extensive injury history.

Still, after Kintzler’s debut last year, the Nats ranked fourth in the majors with a 3.13 bullpen ERA. What’s certain is the group is in a significantly better place than a year ago. JORGE CASTILLO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Pot of Gold: The Origin of Japanese Bidet

Wall might return tonight at Detroit WIZARDS For two months, John Wall has been listed on the official Wizards lineups as “inactive” — the label given to players who won’t appear in games. However, in the most significant sign of his impending return, Wall’s status will be elevated to “questionable” when the Wizards face the Pistons tonight in Detroit (7, NBCSWA).

Coach Scott Brooks said Wednesday that Wall would travel with the team for the onegame trip and take part in the team’s morning shootaround.

Brooks would not say for certain if Wall will play against the Pistons in his first game since Jan. 25. But by listing Wall as “questionable,” his eight-week rehabilitation from left knee surgery appears to be ending.

“The next thing is game

[action],” Brooks said. “I know everybody’s excited. He’s definitely excited. He wants to get out there. He knows he has to continue to put the work in and we will all make the final decision.”

Brooks had previously indicated that Wall, the team and its medical staff would confer with Wall’s surgeon before finalizing the decision to let him play. After practice Wednesday, Brooks said that meeting has yet to happen — at least with his involvement.

When Brooks was asked if Wall’s performance in this morning’s shootaround would determine his availability for the game, Brooks said, “We’ll see.”

The Wizards have gone 15-11 without Wall. With a win in Detroit, the team could clinch its second straight playoff berth.

Redskins deal Cravens to Denver Washington will swap two picks and receive additional fifth-rounder

BRIAN BLANCO (GETTY IMAGES)

NFL No one knew if Su’a Cravens would ever wear a Redskins jersey again after he abruptly walked away from the team before last season began. Washington answered that question Wednesday when it traded the safety to the Broncos, ending an odd two-year relationship with the former second-round pick.

The trade includes a swap of fourth- and fifth-round picks, with the Broncos sending the Redskins an additional fifthrounder. The Redskins would also get the Broncos’ sixth-round pick in 2020 if Cravens plays in one playoff game for Denver.

Su’a Cravens looked like a playmaker as a rookie but left the Redskins before last season began.

The Redskins will get picks No. 109, 142 and 163 this year.

Denver gets Cravens as well as picks No. 113 and 149. In effect, the Redskins move up four spots in the fourth round and seven spots in the fifth round, and add the 163rd pick while potentially getting the 2020 sixth-rounder.

organization seemed to take wild swings. There were reports in late February that the Redskins and Broncos were discussing a trade. Then at the NFL combine, Washington coach Jay Gruden said, “We’re not trading him.”

Reached by phone Wednesday, Cravens’ new agent, Peter Schaffer, stressed his client’s desire

to continue playing and said Cravens is “appreciative” of the Broncos for believing in him.

The Redskins’ senior vice president of player personnel, Doug Williams, told The Post on Sunday that while Cravens remained on the roster, “everybody is tradable if the price is right.”

Cravens, 22, sat out in 2017 after announcing his retirement roughly a week before the season began, citing personal and health matters. The Redskins placed him on the reserve/left squad list, which preserved the three years remaining on his rookie contract.

As a rookie in 2016, Cravens thrived in a safety/linebacker hybrid role with three starts, 34 tackles, one sack, one interception and five passes defended.

Rundown: Wine lovers know the trepidation of going to happy hour and finding a menu that offers house red or a discounted pinot grigio with no details of vineyard or vintage. At the decade-old Vinoteca, the daily happy hour menu offers a selection of 10 to 15 wines from France, Chile, Italy and Spain and lists the vintages (primarily 2015 and 2016 on a recent visit) and grapes used. When the weather warms up, the deals are available in the private courtyard, next to the bocce court.

Rundown: Although the strippeddown tasting room at D.C. Brau doesn’t quite have the atmosphere of your favorite bar, it does have a deal that’s better than most: Every Friday, all beers are half-price from open to close. That means $2.50 for a pint of Public Pale Ale, Brau Pils or even the vaunted On the Wings of Armageddon double IPA — perhaps the cheapest it’s ever been. Although there’s no food available, you can bring your own, or have pizza delivered. Plus, you can purchase growlers or six-packs on your way home. What bar offers that kind of convenience?

Alisha Ramos CEO AND HOMEBODY

For someone who founded a newsletter and brand called Girls’ Night In, Alisha Ramos sure has a lot of places she wants to head out to on her dream day. But the D.C. resident of four years stresses that the ethos of her company, which shares and creates stories on the benefits of self-care, can accommodate time spent wearing real pants. Take GNI’s latest project: a series of book clubs that have spread across the U.S., gathering women once a month to discuss a shared book. “We keep book clubs on the smaller side to not overwhelm; it’s not meant to be a networking kind of event,” says Ramos, 28. “It’s more of an event to encourage real connection and conversation with other women you probably never would have met.” A perfect day for Ramos is similarly chill: “I think the theme of this whole thing will be that I love quiet spaces. Imagine that!”

Missed yesterday’s paper?

I love savoring the quietness of the morning. I would walk to this new spot I recently discovered called Seylou Bakery on Ninth and N streets, and I would get a coffee and a kale and cheddar scone. It’s a really serene, beautiful space. Their baked goods are so amazing.

I’d walk over to my other

favorite coffee shop that I basically live at, called Slipstream.

I’d meet up with a friend and share tea and catch up. I’ve found that the environment is really great for me to focus.

It’s less quiet than Seylou, but I kind of like that because having the buzz around me helps.

I would go down to Dupont

One spot around that neighborhood that I think is a hidden gem is Dumbarton Oaks: It’s a museum and a research library.

My minor was in medieval history and they have a really great Byzantine library and research collection. And they have a beautiful garden with amazing cherry blossom trees.

It’s just a really peaceful and beautiful spot to walk around.

I love shopping, so I would probably pop down to M Street for some window-shopping. I love this newish store called & Other Stories. They have the best retail displays. I love that they have a mix of beauty and home goods in there too — I’m also a big beauty and skin care junkie. That would be dreamy.

Thinking about dinner, I have so many places that I love, it’s so hard to pick one.

I’ve been meaning to check out Pineapple and Pearls. I would take my boyfriend with me and have a lovely romantic dinner.

Then maybe a nightcap at Harold Black in Eastern Market.

It’s a speakeasy, so it’s upstairs from an Italian restaurant, and you have to do the whole “knock on this empty wall” thing and then it opens. It’s really dark and cozy and very small, but they have really amazing cocktails. (AS TOLD TO LORI MCCUE)

Brent, himself and his friends

Country artist Cobb hits a stride by staying authentic — and connected MUSIC Brent Cobb is the type of person who doesn’t ask for help.

“I don’t ever like to bug people,” the rising country singer says. “I don’t like to call them too much.

If it’s meant to happen, it will.

I’ll walk to the door but it’s up to someone else to invite me in.”

Lucky for Cobb, he’s had a few key people open doors for him — in especially serendipitous ways. Cobb, 31, grew up in the small town of Ellaville, Ga., in a musical family: His dad used to open shows for Chubby Checker and George Jones, and his uncles on both sides played in bands.

“It was in the blood,” says Cobb, who performs with his band Them at DC9 on Saturday before opening big venues for Chris Stapleton this summer and fall. “It was always treated as a trade like anything else, like going to school for heating and air.

I always thought that maybe I’d pursue it but I didn’t know how.”

When Cobb was 17, his greataunt died. A distant cousin who happened to be a record producer in Los Angeles flew in for the funeral, and the two met for the first time.

“Being the skeptical Southerners that we are … I asked him what he had produced and he said Shooter Jennings’ ‘Put the O Back in Country,’ and it floored me, man,” Cobb recalls. “To this day, it’s one of my most favorite records. When he said that, I just couldn’t believe it and I wound up giving him a six-song acoustic demo. A couple days later, he called me up and he had Shooter on the phone and I flew to L.A. to do a record.”

Produced by his cousin Dave — who has since helmed Grammywinning and critically acclaimed albums by Sturgill Simpson,

“I don’t know what the problem is but I just can’t wrap my mind around something that doesn’t come from myself.”

BRENT COBB, who has co-written several songs for other country acts

Jason Isbell and Stapleton — Cobb’s debut, 2006’s “No Place Left to Leave,” didn’t kick-start his career in the way he hoped, but that era was still fruitful. After spending time living in L.A., he moved back home and played in a band called Mile Marker 5.

The group opened some gigs for Luke Bryan, then a singer still making a name for himself on

DON VAN CLEAVE

Brent Cobb will release his third album, “Providence Canyon,” in May.

his way to superstardom.

One morning, Cobb and his dad were drinking coffee before work when Bryan’s video for “All My Friends Say” came on TV. “My daddy was like, ‘You oughta hit him up. He really acted like he was interested in working with you and helping you somehow,’ and I kinda shrugged it off: ‘He’s probably too busy now; I don’t wanna bug him,’ ” Cobb recalls.

His unobtrusive nature nearly got the best of him. But as fate would have it, Cobb says, “the next morning he had called and left me a message: ‘Brent, this is Luke Bryan. You need to call me and come up here and write.’ ” Cobb spent a week at Bryan’s Nashville home, writing and meeting industry people. A few months later, he made the move to Music City, where … he took a job at Walgreens for a year.

Finally, he worked up the nerve to call a publisher, got a deal with Carnival Music and started working on Music Row, co-writing material for Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Kellie Pickler and more. “I was finally getting paid to write songs,” Cobb says.

On Music Row, Cobb worked regular hours and wrote as much as he could — some songs on his third album, “Providence Canyon,” due May 11, even date back to those days.

As a songwriter, Cobb is direct and plain-spoken, mostly writing about himself, even when the material is for someone else. “I don’t know what the problem is but I just can’t wrap my mind around something that doesn’t come from myself,” he says.

Having experienced both sides of Nashville — the poppier, radio-friendly tunes from Music Row, and the musicians who are bringing country back to its roots — Cobb prides himself on writing songs that mean something to him rather than just aiming for hits.

“You can tell the difference between a song that’s written for money and a song that’s written for emotion,” he says.

As a comedian, Rory Scovel — who will star opposite Amy Schumer in next month’s “I Feel Pretty” — is used to coming up with things off the top of his head. So we asked the former D.C. resident and onetime comedy recording artist at Jack White’s Third Man Records to name the first three songs that popped into his head.

RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

1

‘Keep It Real’ The Winter Sounds

Scovel grew up in South Carolina with singer Patrick Keenan. “It’s got one of those very catchy choruses that I’m just addicted to,” Scovel says. He included two other songs by the electro-pop band in Netflix’s “Rory Scovel Tries Stand-Up for the First Time.”

2

‘Aenema’ Tool

“It seems like a very apocalyptic, doomsday song for Los Angeles — sort of a hate song for L.A.,” says Scovel, who lives there.

“Tool is a band that I got into in high school and has become my favorite band of all time.”

3

‘Die Young’ Sylvan Esso

A friend told Scovel to check out indie-pop duo Sylvan Esso, and then he ended up sharing the stage with them in New Orleans for Chris Thile’s “Live From Here” radio show. “It was just cool to then unexpectedly get to meet them, watch them live and then get even more into them.”

Frank Linn, head chef and owner of Frankly…Pizza!, readies a pie in the documentary “New Chefs on the Block.”

They’re hungry for restaurant success A D.C. filmmaker dug into the city’s dining scene for ‘New Chefs’ FILM “The crazy thing about the food world is hard work does not necessarily pay off,” says Dustin HarrisonHarrison-Atlas Atlas, director of the documentary “New Chefs on the Block,” which chronicles the birth of two local restaurants.

“You can be the hardest worker on the planet and have great food, but you can get off to a really rough start and it can kill you in a matter of months.”

On the other hand, sometimes restaurants survive — and thrive.

For his film, the D.C.-area resident spent more than 3½ years following brother-in-law Frank Linn, the owner of the wildly popular Frankly…Pizza! in Kensington, Md., and Aaron Silverman, the owner of Capitol

So, you’ve got a casual pizza place and a fine-dining establishment. Why those two restaurants?

When Frank tested his pizza at home, it was unbelievable.

I said, “If you ever open a restaurant, we need to make this film.” [Then] I said, “Why don’t I find another chef who’s thinking even bigger for their first restaurant?” I went online and Googled “new chefs in D.C. opening their first restaurant” and the first thing that popped up was Aaron Silverman’s Kickstarter campaign.

How did the direction of the film change during shooting?

My goal was to only film them through their first year of business, but when Aaron became so successful I was like, “This is a really neat opportunity to see what it’s like to become a celebrity chef,” and I wanted to watch the impact of the weight of the crown. So I was like, “Well, guess I’m not done filming.”

So, what was going to be a year project took 3½ years, which I did not plan on.

That’s similar to how these guys built their restaurants.

The parallels were just unbelievable. I was never home. My wife just had our first child and I would be coming home at 2 in the morning. That final summer, for five months I didn’t take a day off and it was brutal for everyone.

The parallels for me producing, directing, shooting, editing my first film and these guys opening their first restaurants was really an interesting part of the process and helped me to connect to their stories even more.

Aaron Silverman, left, and his team sample items for Rose’s Luxury’s menu.

Hill’s Rose’s Luxury, which in 2014 was named the country’s best new restaurant by Bon Appetit magazine. The film proves that opening a restaurant is more blood, sweat and tears than it is mozzarella, lobster and caviar.

The first non-festival screenings of “New Chefs on the Block”

next week will feature post-show discussions with local chefs, restaurant owners and food writers; starting the week of April 17, the movie will be available on iTunes, VOD and DVD. Making the movie almost killed Harrison-Atlas, but he lived to take our questions.

The most important question: Do you have to stand in Rose’s Luxury’s notorious line?

No. I get to skip. I’m one of the few people on the planet who gets to call and say, “Hey, can I jump in?” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

Marco Cochrane’s 18-foot, steel mesh sculpture of dancer Deja Solis is a highlight of the Renwick’s exhibit. A group was denied a permit to construct a 45-foot-tall version of the same model on the National Mall last fall.

Scribble, meditate and climb on the immersive Burning Man exhibit MUSEUMS If the Renwick Gallery’s eyepopping 2016 exhibit “Wonder” was all about taking Instagram selfies with the art, its latest exhibit, “No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man,” wants you to put down the cellphone and connect.

The exhibit, dedicated to the 32-year-old late-summer gathering of anarchic spirits in the Nevada desert, is filled with items that can be handled, sat on and otherwise interacted with and/ or entered. Along with the more traditional look-but-don’t-touch displays of costuming and jewelry, digital paintings and archival material about the history of Burning Man, “No Spectators” boasts several immersive and

interactive installations. Candy Chang’s “Before I Die,” for example, features chalkboards and chalk, inviting visitors to complete this sentence: “Before I die I want to [blank].” There’s also a bus — assembled on-site, but minus an engine — that has been converted into a miniature working movie theater by the arts collective Five Ton Crane — complete with fake concessionstand candy, a parody newspaper

blaring an “Art Heist” headline and film canisters with treasures inside.

The heart of “No Spectators” is a massive installation called “Temple,” which has transformed the cavernous Grand Salon on the second floor into a sacred, celebratory space lined with intricately cut wooden panels. It comes courtesy of David Best, a San Francisco sculptor who, since 2000, has been

building similar structures at Burning Man, where attendees — or “burners,” as they’re known — gather as a place of mourning and remembrance.

At the Renwick, visitors are invited to leave a wooden block on which they’ve written the name of a deceased loved one, in thanks for what that person gave them.

“No Spectators” hosts a few more similar oases of peace. At the chill end of the spectrum is an installation of complex, polyhedral forms by Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu, an art duo known as HYBYCOZO. Evoking the cutout brass lanterns of a Middle Eastern inn, HYBYCOZO’s laser-cut steel abstractions, some of which incorporate lights, create an ambiance both exotic and strangely soothing. One of the works, “Deep Thought,” is large enough to sit inside.

On the trippy end is “Nova,”

by Christopher Schardt, a former programmer “who used to do art for fun,” as he puts it, but who now considers himself “an artist who does programming for fun.” On the floor, you’ll find a rug and comfy pillows; overhead is a star-shaped screen featuring a kaleidoscopic LED light show.

Plop down, turn on, tune in — to the sounds of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4.

Situated somewhere in between those extremes is “Shrumen Lumen,” a Lewis Carrollesque installation of giant, multicolored origami mushrooms made out of folded corrugated-plastic boards. Created by the FoldHaus art collective, it playfully evokes the otherworldliness of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Step onto one of several strategically placed pads and these magic mushrooms — which contain hidden motors, but no active hallucinogens — gently fold and unfold above you, like psychedelic umbrellas mimicking the closing and opening of your mind.

The heat is in the streets

At Burning Man, the week-long countercultural festival held every summer in the Nevada desert, 70,000 revelers are either making art or traversing the event’s 5 square miles to check it out. They ride funkily decorated bicycles to eclectic sculptures and large-scale art installations that revolve around themes like “radical ritual.” “Being outside, and being able to move around from piece to piece, is part of the experience,” says Nora Atkinson, who curated the Renwick Gallery’s “No Spectators” exhibits. “You see these things in the distance and then you head toward them, and by the time you’ve reached them, you’ve already been engaging with these works, which is so different than a gallery experience where you just walk in.” The Renwick hopes to replicate that ELLEN COLLER (EXPRESS)

experience with “No Spectators.” In addition to the exhibit inside, Atkinson and the museum have partnered with the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District to display six art installations from past Burning Man festivals in parks and neighborhoods in the District’s Golden Triangle area. “No Spectators: Beyond the Renwick” lasts through December.

‘Golden Spike’

By HYBYCOZO

Burning Man

Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu, the duo known as HYBYCOZO, are the only artists featured in both the indoor and outdoor components of the Renwick’s Burning Man exhibit.

“Golden Spike” is a glowing, threedimensional shape with the kind of laser-cut designs “iconic to Burning Man,” Atkinson says. It pays homage to the first official act of each Burning Man festival: driving a spike into the desert floor. “After dusk, it’s like this piece is constantly changing with the light,” Atkinson says. “All of the cutouts become positive space and the rest become negative space, and I really like the way it has this constant shifting presence. It’s rich.”

The real-life Maya Angelou was an inarguably tall 6 feet. At Burning Man, she looms even taller. Riley’s sculpture features a 20-foot bust of Angelou atop a stack of books that doubles as a staircase visitors can climb. There’s also an audio recording that recites excerpts of her poem “Still I Rise.” The 6,000-pound work debuted at Burning Man last year. Riley, one of the best-known artists at the festival, plans to create a series of monuments that celebrate women like Jane Goodall and Amelia Earhart.

‘Future’s Past’

By Kate Raudenbush MR. AND MRS. FERGUSON

Southeast corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and I Street NW

The 23-foot-tall laser-cut steel sculpture, created in 2010, is a monument to technological progress, self-taught sculpture artist Raudenbush has said — a modern ruin, of sorts. “It’s an aesthetic you see a lot at Burning Man,” Atkinson says. “Future’s Past” shows an ancient Bodhi tree growing out of a black pyramid; inside the temple, an hourglass symbolizes the collapse our reliance on technology might ultimately cause.

‘Ursa Major’

By Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson

Burning Man

Behold: a 14-foot grizzly bear whose sparkling fur is made out of 170,000 pennies. The sculpture was created by a husband-and-wife team who met and later married at Burning Man. “I’ve never seen a more friendly bear,” Atkinson says.

“They use the pennies as a really tactile sensation — they become this wonderful pettable fur, and when you stand underneath, it’s just towering over you. It makes you look up at the stars, which I think is really beautiful.”

The steel sculpture that twinkles with LED lights — a love letter to Black Rock Desert — was a favorite photo op at last year’s Burning Man, says Atkinson, who attended the festival for the first time in 2017. Tiny bird-shaped cutouts line each X and O, an extra dimension noticeable only from up close. “Laura uses such simple words in her work, but they almost always have multiple connotations and meanings you can draw from them,” Atkinson says. “They’re visually stunning but they also make us stop and think.”

Each bird is assembled from 40 pieces of cast bronze, and Champion’s inspiration came in part from an encounter he had with crows at a previous Burning Man. “When you’re out in the desert, your eyes are fooled by the scale of the place, so when you ride up to [the sculpture] you’re expecting these little birds and they turn out to be huge — larger than a person’s size,” Atkinson says. “They’re really playful.”

BRITISH FILM INSTITUTE

March 29 Dead Men’s Hollow

If the world hasn’t ended, you can check out “Donnie Darko” at the AFI Silver this weekend.

‘Donnie Darko’ If you’d like to get totally messed up (mentally, not with drugs or anything), catch the theatrical version of “Donnie Darko.” This 2001 mind-bender, screening as part of AFI Silver’s Cult Classics series, stars Jake “Spellcheck Breaker” Gyllenhaal as a high school student who has a 6-foot-tall rabbit as an imaginary friend, and said bunny has told him the end of the world is nigh.

It gets weirder from there. Saturday’s show is presented by “horror host” Doctor Sarcofiguy, who’ll have trivia, giveaways and Easter-inspired bonus video content. Because the Easter Bunny is, after all, a giant imaginary rabbit. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Sat., 10:30 p.m., Sun., 9 p.m., Tue., 9:15 p.m. & April 5, 9:15 p.m., $13.

St. Francis at National Gallery

‘Lady Snowblood’

This Easter, you can head out of church and right into a series of religious films from the 1950s and ’60s. On Sunday, the National Gallery of Art is presenting a St. Francis movie marathon (all in Italian with subtitles). It kicks off with “Francesco d’Assisi,” about the monk who became a saint. Then comes “The Flowers of Saint Francis,” full of parables from the life of Francis, and “Hawks and Sparrows,” which is partially about two friars commanded by St. Francis to teach the titular birds to love one another, but is really about communism. BYO jelly beans. National Gallery of

In the midst of the #MeToo movement, it’s especially important to have strong female characters.

Enter Shurayuki-hime (Meiko Kaji), who will absolutely slice and dice you into matchstick fries before you hit the ground. Director Toshiya Fujita’s 1973 film — a huge inspiration for the “Kill Bill” saga — follows the young woman as she gets revenge for her parents’ murder by massacring a whole bunch of bad guys. But, you know, it looks really pretty. This is part of the Freer’s Monthly Matinees: Japanese Classics series, which is as good a reason as any to skip work. Freer

MUSIC

Mari Andrew, ‘Am I There Yet?’

Steve Moakler

Sixth and I, 600 I St. NW; Thu., 7 p.m., sold out.

Born in New Jersey, raised in Pittsburgh and based in Nashville, Steve Moakler writes lyrics that are more Rust Belt than Bible Belt, full of platitudes about blue-collar resilience and the lessons learned in a “Steel Town” (the name of his 2017 album). And thanks to his Nashville home, Moakler’s songs — pop-rockers at their core — have taken on the melodies and motifs of country music (and have been helped along by his Pennsyltucky twang). “I’d rather make a living being myself,” he sings on one song, “than a killing being someone else.” Union Stage,

Mari Andrew’s achingly vulnerable and completely relatable watercolor illustrations about relationships, heartbreak and the struggles of urban life have earned her over 750,000 Instagram followers. Andrew lived in the District for years, and her time here inspired her art about the city’s dating scene.

Though she has since moved to New York, she’s coming back to celebrate the launch of her first book, “Am I There Yet?: The Loopde-Loop, Zigzagging Journey to Adulthood.”

Alive” in 2015, it amounted to a 40-minute victory lap for two popular rappers. Superchunk’s new album of the same name, which takes aim at the current political landscape, has a much different vibe. The lyrics are charged and direct (“I hope you die scared of all the kids that know the truth”), but the North Carolina band manages to turn turmoil into a compelling portrait. Protest music has never sounded so fun.

‘John’ If you’re more inclined to think of homey bed-and-breakfasts as creepy rather than relaxing, you might be the target audience for Signature Theatre’s “John.”

Playwright Annie Baker sets her tale in a B&B in Gettysburg, Pa., where a young couple from Brooklyn heads for what’s supposed to be a romantic weekend — until a few eerie occurrences and a strange innkeeper force them to examine the fissures in their relationship.

MUSIC

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong have become a constant presence on the jam-band festival circuit, building a devoted following dubbed (appropriately) the Flock.

The funky rock act, which formed at the University of Maryland in 2009 and is based in Baltimore, self-released the studio album “Pizazz” last year. The record offers a tighter take on the band’s live sound, which is heavy on improvisation and choice covers.

Dashboard Confessional In the early aughts, Dashboard Confessional was like a rite of passage for angsty teenagers drawn to forlorn lyrics and Chris Carrabba’s eternally pained vocals. The band’s debut, “The Swiss Army Romance,” released in 2000, helped pave the way for emo music’s rise to popularity. In the decade that followed, there were five more similar-sounding albums before the band went quiet. After nearly nine years, Dashboard returned last month with “Crooked Shadows,” which traded in the closeness of those first albums for something more pop-adjacent and, perhaps, more grown-up.

A celebration of all kinds of pop culture, Awesome Con is rolling into its sixth year with an impressive roster of celebrities and creators, including John Boyega of the “Star Wars” franchise, Michael Dorn of multiple “Star Trek” series, Cress Williams of “Black Lightning” and Charisma Carpenter of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” If you aren’t much for standing in line for photo ops, hit the massive exhibit hall and get all your cosplay shopping for the year done in one fell swoop.

Wed. DANCE

Nederlands Dans Theater The Nederlands Dans Theater, renowned for its boundarypushing modern dance, makes its Kennedy Center debut. In “Shoot the Moon,” revolving black-andwhite walls form three rooms, each containing its own love story, as dancers perform to music by Philip Glass. Then there’s “Singuliere Odyssee,” a reflection on travel that features music by Max Richter and is set in an art deco train station as dancers stream in and out. Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Wed. through April 6, 7:30 p.m., $19-$69.

BOOK REVIEW What is Sean Penn thinking?

Novels are supposed to be portals into an author’s mind. We are now in our third year of living with Penn’s debut fictional opus, “Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff,� and the picture is not getting any clearer. “Bob Honey� first emerged during the height of the 2016 election season as a potent satire of rising Trumplandia, released as a free audiobook and performed by a cast that included Frances McDormand and Penn himself.

For the novel version, released this week, Penn has filled out the plot, though it is still a slim tale.

Befitting an actor whose IMDb page includes both “Dead Man Walking� and “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,� “Bob Honey� is all over the place in any format, slapdash in style and structure. Bob is a 50-something Southern California man who has had a Zelig-like relationship with South American drug lords, Middle Eastern warlords and the American military-industrial complex. He walks the earth clouting the aged with a mallet

because they cannot get with the zeitgeist and also because EPA research found that the “extermination of high-flatulence populations� would be a social boon. The story makes its way to the Republican National Convention, where the “Mussolini of Mayberry would be fomenting his flock.�

Here, Penn is relegated to being a maker of sentences. Penn delivers prose as if he were gunning for a prize from the American Alliteration Association. “Dreams died like destiny’s deadwood,� he writes. And: “Scottsdale’s dry climate contradicts the clammy calescent of New Guinean condensation.�

If only the book’s satire were funnier. If only the writing were more coherent. And if only the timing were better. In the weeks before the last presidential election, “Bob Honey� reflected the goofiness of the moment’s political theater. Now that we are living with its consequences, the story feels off point and toothless.

The Trump era may yet find its gonzo literary truth-teller who can capture our moment with more comedy and absurdity than reality itself can. It is unquestionably a tough job — and Penn is not up to it. MARK ATHITAKIS (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

MISTY COPELAND, addressing on Instagram a sole Twitter user’s criticism

after she completed 12 of 32 fouettés (turns) during a sequence in “Swan Lake.” Copeland, dancing the lead as the Swan Queen, improvised the rest of the sequence. The ballerina took the criticism head-on in posts to her Facebook and Instagram accounts, writing in part, “I am by no means the best in ballet.” The Twitter user, after receiving swift backlash for labeling Copeland an “embarrassment,” quickly deactivated their account.

TODAY: After a chance of morning showers, the afternoon should be mainly dry as the warm front lifts.

That should allow temperatures to surge into the upper 60s to mid-70s under partly to mostly cloudy skies, with an increasing afternoon breeze. At night, an approaching cold front brings a chance of light showers.

In an interview with People magazine, Tyra Banks criticized the “no-makeup” trend in fashion. “As a model, I needed makeup,” Banks said. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It leveled my playing field. Gisele, you don’t need it? I do! And we’re both modeling for Victoria’s Secret.”

Banks also revealed she had cosmetic surgery on her nose early in her modeling career.

A source close to Angelina Jolie has denied rumors that she is dating a real estate agent. “She isn’t even dating at the moment,” the source told Us Weekly. “Yes, she has hung out with a couple of guys over the last year, but it’s extremely low-key.” Earlier this week, another source told Entertainment Tonight that Jolie is seeing a “handsome, olderlooking ... real estate agent.”

A source has confirmed that Niall Horan and Hailee Steinfeld are dating. “It’s true that Hailee and Niall are dating, but at this point it’s still pretty casual,” the source told E! News. The former One Direction singer and the singer-actress have long been close: In a post for Steinfeld’s birthday in December, Horan called her “the loveliest person on the planet and one of my best friends.” The two later spent President’s Day weekend together partying in Los Angeles. Just this weekend, Steinfeld tweeted a photo of herself wearing one of Horan’s concert T-shirts. (EXPRESS)
