The fight to save a ‘witness’ NATIONAL MALL One day around 1890, the seed of a white mulberry tree, perhaps borne in the droppings of a passing bird, fell on the grounds of the newly dedicated Washington Monument.

It germinated, grew and sank thick roots into the earth. And 129 years of history unfolded beneath its boughs. Over the years, it bent with age. Its roots were exposed by runoff, trampled by human feet and compromised.

On Sunday afternoon, battered by wind and rain, its main buttress root snapped and the tree fell.

The National Park Service is now trying to figure out a way to save it, saying the 55-foot tree is a witness to history, and perhaps the only naturally occurring vegetation on the site.

“The weed turned into an asset,” Jason Gillis, a Park Service arborist, said Tuesday.

He said experts are trying to find a way to prop up the tree off the ground and prune it so it survives. It would still be a fixture

on the landscape, although more horizontal than vertical.

A mulberry is often a “volunteer” tree, Gillis said Tuesday as he stood near the fallen tree.

“It sprouts up in places where you don’t want it,” he said. “A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to get rid of them. . . . They can take over a landscape.”

He believes the tree was a volunteer because there are none else like it. “That would also make it the only natural growing tree here that wasn’t somehow

man-managed or planted,” he said.

The tree was probably not on the grounds before 1887-88, when the final grading around the base of the Washington Monument was done, according to a National Park Service study.

But it appears well grown in an aerial photograph from 1919, and Gillis theorizes that it was “preestablished in the landscape” by then and may date to around 1890.

If that is true, then the tree would have been witness to events such as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, Vietnam War protests, Fourth of July celebrations, presidential inaugurations, kite festivals, music concerts, Frisbee events, and at least one earthquake.

The tree rested on its side Tuesday, its exposed roots covered with cloth to keep them from drying out. The tree bark was moist and the grounds were still saturated with water. A park service worker hosed the roots down to keep them wet.

Gillis said he hopes to have a plan to preserve the tree within a few days. MICHAEL E. RUANE AND DANA HEDGPETH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Some Metro rules in limbo TRANSPORTATION Metro has temporarily stopped issuing citations in D.C. for fare evasion, eating in the transit system and other offenses because of a problem with the language in a new D.C. law that decriminalizes those violations, officials said.

In an effort to clarify how the new law should work, the D.C. Council last week unanimously passed emergency legislation that is awaiting the signature of Mayor Muriel Bowser. Once the legislation takes effect, the transit agency said, it will lift the enforcement suspension imposed

by Metro Police Chief Ron Pavlik.

Pavlik’s order applies only to violations that occur inside the city limits. Tickets will still be issued in the Metro system in Virginia and Maryland.

Bowser’s office did not immediately respond to an inquiry about whether, or when, she plans to sign the emergency legislation.

Officials said the problem involves a D.C. law that changed the legal classifications of fare evasion and such offenses as eating, drinking, spitting and playing loud music without headphones on buses and trains and at stations within the District.

Previously, violators were subject to criminal citations. Under the new law, the offenses are civil violations akin to littering or jaywalking and punishable by

lesser fines.

The decriminalization bill, enacted after the council overrode a veto by Bowser, did not set up payment or appeals processes for citations, according to Metro. Erik Salmi, a spokesman for council member Charles Allen, D-Ward 6, who championed decriminalization, said the emergency bill rectifies the problem.

“It lays out an appeals procedure and establishes that fines should be paid to the [city’s] office of administrative hearings,” Salmi said.

He said the original bill “left it unspecified, because [the mayor’s office] can set up these things if it’s not specified in the

actual law.” But after decriminalization took effect this month, Salmi said, “there was some question about whether [Bowser]

had the authority to do that. So we moved the emergency legislation just to clarify it.”

Council members who backed decriminalization argued that a vast majority of criminal citations for fare evasion and other offenses were issued in the District, compared with Maryland and Virginia, and disproportionately impacted African Americans. Bowser sided with Metro officials and Metro’s largest union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689, which said decriminalization would encourage scofflaws and cost Metro millions of dollars in lost revenue.

The issue of subway snacking and the law against it arose last weekend after a rider photographed an African American Metro worker eating on a train and tweeted the image, tagging Metro and the Twitter account of a vocal critic of the agency with her complaint. The backlash on social media was swift, with people accusing the woman, who is Jordanian American, of publicly shaming a black woman.

In defending the worker, ATU Local 689 chief of staff Barry Hobson said the woman is a bus operator whose schedule that day required her to travel by train from one bus to another during her meal break. Hobson also cited Pavlik’s nonenforcement order, issued a few days earlier.

“Our union’s position on that is, if he put out that memo, then why is it not okay for our operator to eat?” Hobson said. PAUL DUGGAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT Enjoy those free Circulator rides while you can.

The D.C. Council on Tuesday cut Mayor Muriel Bowser’s request for $3.1 million from the fiscal 2020 budget, killing her plan to keep Circulator rides free indefinitely.

While the free-ride funding was eliminated from the $15.5 billion spending plan, the budget does include money for a scooter parking program and a congestion-pricing study. It also increases residential parking fees. The budget, for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, will get a second and final vote May 28.

John Falcicchio, Bowser’s chief of staff, said the mayor hopes the council will reconsider the Circulator fare decision before the second vote.

“We really do hope that between this first reading and second reading the council will find a way to fund this widely popular program,” Falcicchio said, noting an increase in ridership since rides became free in February. “It is a priority for the mayor and a priority for the folks who ride it.”

But critics cited concerns about the financial impact on households that own multiple vehicles.

Residents now pay $35 per vehicle for an annual permit.

Under the new budget, the cost will increase to $50 for the first vehicle, $75 for a second vehicle, $100 for a third vehicle and $150 for a fourth. That means a household with four cars would pay $375 annually instead of $140.

“Too many Americans have seen their accounts suspended, banned, or fraudulently reported for unclear ‘violations’ of user policies,” the survey claims.

In seeking supporters’ contact information, the White House also asked for permission to send email newsletters about “President Trump’s fight for free speech.”

PARIS The White House isn’t endorsing a global pledge to step up efforts to keep internet platforms from being used to spread hate, organize extremist groups and broadcast attacks, citing respect for “freedom of expression and freedom of the press.”

The statement came Wednesday after world leaders led by French President Emmanuel Macron, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and executives from Facebook, Google, Twitter and other tech companies gathered in Paris to compile a set of guidelines dubbed the “Christchurch Call,” named after the New Zealand city where 51 people were killed in a March attack on mosques.

President Trump did not attend the summit.

Facebook said before the meeting that it was tightening rules for livestream users.

In Wednesday’s agreement, which is not legally binding, the tech companies committed to measures to prevent the spread of terrorist or violent extremist content. They also promised to reduce the risk that such content is livestreamed, including flagging for real-time review.

And they pledged to study how algorithms sometimes promote extremist content.

That could help find ways to intervene more quickly and redirect users to “credible positive alternatives or counternarratives.” SYLVIE CORBET AND KELVIN CHAN (AP)

U.S. orders staff to leave Iraq MIDDLE EAST The State Department has ordered all “non-emergency U.S. government employees” to leave Iraq amid soaring tensions with Iran, which backs proxy forces there.

The department said in a statement Wednesday that the announcement affects both the U.S. Embassy in the capital, Baghdad, and a consulate in the northern city of Irbil.

The Trump administration has accused Iran of supporting “imminent attacks” on U.S. personnel in the region and has used a burst of diplomacy and briefings to try to win support for an increasingly aggressive stance against Tehran.

Officials have spotlighted recent U.S. decisions to deploy an aircraft carrier, strategic bombers and other military assets to reinforce troops across the Middle East. They have also told reporters that further military action is on the table.

But allies have expressed caution in public and alarm in private, challenging U.S. claims of a rising threat level and, at times, raising concerns that

Norbert Röttgen, chair of the foreign affairs committee in the Bundestag, the German parliament, said Wednesday that German security agencies and intelligence services do not share the view that the threat of an Iranian military strike is escalating.

Iran has described growing pressure from the Trump administration as “psychological warfare” aimed at regime change. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, used his Twitter account Tuesday to warn against further escalation.

“We don’t seek a war nor do they,” he said. “They know a war wouldn’t be beneficial for them.”

With tensions in the Middle East rising, Röttgen said he does not believe that either Iran or the U.S. wants war.

But he cautioned that escalation is a dangerous game.

“Accidents happen. Misinterpretation of behavior happens,” Röttgen said. “If there is conflict, it would not be by intention, but by accident.”

San Francisco is first city to ban facial recognition

verbatim

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco supervisors voted Tuesday to ban the use of facial recognition software by police and other city departments, becoming the first U.S. city to outlaw a rapidly developing technology that has alarmed privacy and civil liberties advocates.

The ban is part of broader legislation that requires city departments to establish use policies and obtain board approval for surveillance technology they want to purchase or are using at present. Several other local governments require departments to disclose and seek approval for surveillance technology.

“This is ... about saying: ‘We can have security without being a security state. We can have good policing without being a police state.’ And part of that is building trust with the community based on good community information, not on Big Brother technology,” said Supervisor Aaron Peskin, who championed the legislation.

The ban applies to San Francisco police and other municipal departments. It does not affect use of the technology by the federal government at airports and ports, nor does it limit personal or business use.

The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a nonprofit think tank, issued a

ERIC RISBERG (AP)

Use of the technology by police raised serious civil liberty questions

San Francisco’s facial recognition ban applies only to city departments.

Uncharted territory No federal laws govern the use of facial recognition nationwide, and more than 50 state or local police agencies across the country have at some point used facial recognition systems in attempts to identify criminal suspects or verify identities. A bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. Senate in March would ban companies, but not governments, from collecting facial recognition data without consent. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

statement chiding San Francisco for considering the facial recognition ban. It said advanced technology makes it cheaper and faster for police to find suspects and identify missing people.

Critics were silly to compare

surveillance usage in the U.S. with China, given that one country has strong constitutional protections and the other does not, said Daniel Castro, the foundation’s vice president.

It’s unclear how many San Francisco departments are using surveillance, said Peskin. There are valid reasons for licenseplate readers, body cameras and security cameras, he said, but the public should know how the tools are being used or abused.

Those who support the ban say the technology is flawed and they worry people will one day not be able to go out without being identified and tracked. But critics say police need all the help they can get, especially in a city that hosts high-profile events and has high rates of property crime. JANIE HAR (AP)

FCC proposes easing ability to block robocalls TECHNOLOGY The Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday proposed granting AT&T, Verizon and other telecom carriers clearer powers to block suspected spam calls from ringing consumers’ phones, a move that comes after robocallers dialed Americans nearly 5 billion times in April alone, according to one industry estimate.

The idea put forward by FCC Chairman Ajit Pai — and pending approval from the agency’s commissioners — encourages carriers to enable their antirobocall technology by default.

Currently, consumers often must elect to use carriers’ robocall-blocking tools, some of them costing a monthly fee, which means “fewer people are using these services,” Pai said.

The FCC said the order could help telecom carriers and their customers fight back against robocall fraudsters that use a tactic known as spoofing, which makes it appear as if they’re calling from a legitimate number that’s similar to the one they’re trying to target.

The agency also plans to use the order to encourage carriers to develop tools that limit the calls a consumer can receive to only the contacts in their phones, a technical restriction that could help smartphone owners, such as the elderly, who are most at risk of fraud.

The agency will vote June 6 on new anti-robocall efforts.

A rush to get rid of Roe

Alabama state senators prepare Tuesday to vote on a bill to ban abortions.

MICKEY WELSH (THE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER VIA AP)

ANALYSIS For years, antiabortion advocates have tried to chip away at the Roe v. Wade decision incrementally.

They have pressed legislatures to pass restrictive laws that shortened the window for abortion procedures and/or made it very difficult for abortion clinics to operate within their borders.

But state lawmakers didn’t attempt to outlaw the practice altogether — until now.

The Alabama legislature passed a bill Tuesday effectively outlawing abortion except in the case of serious health risks to the mother. They rejected exceptions for rape and incest.

Alabama’s bill is one that even supporters admit is tactical rather than an attempt to legislate.

Now that Brett Kavanaugh is a justice on the Supreme Court, effectively tilting it 5 to 4 in favor of conservatives, antiabortion advocates hope the court will overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide and established a woman’s right to have an abortion, though with the provision that the government can regulate abortions on the basis of protecting women’s health and prenatal life.

Overturning Roe could open the door to a national abortion ban. Justice Stephen Breyer seemed to worry about that prospect this week, after the Supreme Court voided another of its precedents. “Today’s decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the Court will overrule next,” Breyer wrote in his dissent.

By passing a law that is blatantly at odds with Roe, even more so than previous ones, supporters are begging the Supreme Court to take up the case.

But there is a reason this tactic wasn’t attempted before, and plenty of potential downsides

Ditching a gradual approach, GOP makes a plea to high court with Ala. abortion ban

Protesters rally outside of the Alabama State House on Tuesday.

— both in courts of law and the court of public opinion.

Historically, Americans have strongly supported modest increases in abortion restrictions. Roe effectively legalized abortions up to around the 24th week of pregnancy. But when the Republican-led U.S. House in 2013 voted to ban virtually all abortions after 20 weeks, it was met with broad approval. A Quinnipiac University poll in 2014 showed that 60% of Americans

Ala. governor signs bill Alabama’s Republican governor signed the most stringent abortion legislation in the nation Wednesday, making performing an abortion a felony in nearly all cases. “To the bill’s many supporters, this legislation stands as a powerful testament to Alabamians’ deeply held belief that every life is precious and that every life is a sacred gift from God,” Gov. Kay Ivey said in a statement. (AP)

North Korea says it’s suffering worst drought in decades amid reports of severe food shortages

were in favor of the legislation, while 33% opposed it.

Polls have also shown Americans favor laws requiring parental consent for minors who seek abortions, requiring married women to inform their husbands before getting abortions, forcing providers to inform patients about abortion alternatives and mandating 24-hour waiting periods.

But there’s a lot of room between limiting abortion and outlawing it entirely. And what people overwhelmingly oppose is the kind of bill Alabama lawmakers passed. Quinnipiac polling last year showed just 10% want abortion outlawed in all cases, while another 19% wanted it made illegal in most cases. It also showed Americans opposed overturning Roe 66% to 23%.

And Quinnipiac in 2015 showed that just 17% thought abortions should be made illegal in cases of rape and incest, which Alabama’s bill would.

There was an argument that the incremental approach could be met with public approval. This approach is far from doing that, and Democrats are already moving to make the Alabama GOP’s effort an issue nationally.

Assuming the law is struck down or frozen by lower courts (probably a safe bet since it’s clearly at odds with Roe), it would be up to the Supreme Court to take the case and then actually overturn Roe. Four justices need to agree to hear the case, and five would be needed to overturn.

There’s a chance the court will never take up the law. And by tempting a final ruling on Roe now, it seems at least possible that Republicans could be spoiling what could have been a more fruitful, incremental approach that actually had plenty of support.

REACTIONS

Democratic candidates condemn ban Democratic contenders for the 2020 presidential nomination criticized Alabama’s passage of the country’s strictest abortion ban, casting it as a blow to women’s rights. (TWP) Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.: Alabama legislators are “the same kind of people who also stand in the way of what women need in terms of a ban on preexisting conditions, to have access to issues like prenatal care.”

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.: “Rolling back the clock on basic women’s human rights and civil rights, I think, has to be fought with every tooth and nail.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.: “We see this for what it is: a direct attack on Roe v. Wade and on women all across this country.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden: “Roe v Wade is settled law and should not be overturned. This choice should remain between a woman and her doctor.”

NBA DRAFT | ANALYSIS

Lottery’s domino effect

There somehow seems to be even more questions now than before the ping-pong balls bounced in the Pelicans’ favor. What will New

Orleans do with disgruntled star Anthony Davis? Will the Knicks or Lakers use their top-four picks to trade for the six-time All-Star?

And how will the draft affect free agency? Nothing in sports compares to the NBA offseason, and Tuesday night’s draft lottery set the table for a fun summer. Here are the best- and worst-case scenarios for each team that was awarded a top-four pick. JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

NO. 1 PICK

NO. 2 PICK

NO. 3 PICK

NO. 4 PICK

New Orleans Pelicans

Memphis Grizzlies

New York Knicks

Los Angeles Lakers

When Anthony Davis, who is signed through next season, demanded a trade, it made for an awkward few months for the Pelicans. But no one is feeling sorry for them now.

Murray State’s Ja Morant is the No. 2 player on most draft boards, but he plays the same position (point guard) as the Grizzlies’ best player: Mike Conley Jr. So will they put their 31-year-old leader on the trading block?

Just breathe, Knicks fans, breathe.

New York had only a 14% chance to get the No. 1 pick, so it was a bit premature for fans to start dreaming of Zion doing 360 dunks in Madison Square Garden. And while the Knicks lost the lottery, they still have tons of cap space.

The Lakers’ front office is a mess, but whoever is in charge has a lot to work with: LeBron James, a group of promising young players, cap space and now the No. 4 pick.

Best-case scenario: The Pelicans will have plenty of suitors for Davis if Zion Williamson, the once-in-a-generation player who was the prize of Tuesday’s lottery, doesn’t entice him to stick around.

As a small-market team, New Orleans isn’t a top destination for free agents, so it’s probably best for it to build through the draft anyway. Trading Davis would allow the Pelicans to build around Williamson, Jrue Holiday and the haul of assets they get for Davis.

Worst-case scenario: It’s hard to screw up this situation, but if the Pelicans keep Davis around to see if they can persuade him to stay long-term and he ends up leaving in free agency anyway, that would be a colossal misread.

Best-case scenario: Conley is due to make $32.5 million next season. It’s in the best interest of the Grizzlies — and Conley — for Memphis to move him to a contender and fully embrace the rebuild with a core of Morant, last year’s No. 4 pick Jaren Jackson Jr., and whatever it can get in return for Conley (maybe a mid-first rounder?).

Worst-case scenario: If the Grizzlies convince themselves that Duke forward RJ Barrett is a better fit for the way this team is currently constructed and decide that Conley is going to retire in Memphis, then expect them to be in the lottery again.

Best-case scenario: The Knicks could acquire Davis with a package that includes the No. 3 pick, Kevin Knox and a future first-round Mavericks pick from the Kristaps Porzingis trade. And then they could pair Davis with an elite free agent (maybe Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving?). But the dream scenario is to keep the pick, draft RJ Barrett and still get two big-name free agents.

Worst-case scenario: If Knicks fans think not getting Zion was bad, imagine if no big-name free agents want to come to New York, and they waste their cap space on second-tier players like Julius Randle and Bojan Bogdanovic.

UCF’s Tacko Fall among 11 players added to NBA draft combine; at 7-foot-6, he’ll be tallest player there

Best-case scenario: By getting the No. 4 pick in the lottery, as opposed to the 11th as expected, the Lakers can sweeten their offer to the Pelicans to acquire Davis. While the Knicks have a higher draft pick to offer New Orleans, the Lakers have much better young players who they can include in the trade. With LeBron, L.A. is in win-now mode and trading for Davis would instantly make it a contender.

The draft lottery went about as bad as it could have for the Wizards, who had a 9% shot at the No. 1 pick and just a 3.8% chance at No. 9 — where they fell. Here’s who they could target with that selection. J.T.

3 Rui Hachimura Forward, Gonzaga

The 6-foot-8 junior is a strong rebounder who can defend and is comfortable on the perimeter, but he needs to develop his shot.

2 PJ Washington Forward, Kentucky

The 6-foot-8 sophomore is a good passer with a solid midrange game and soft touch around the rim. His shooting range is limited, though.

1 Cam Reddish Guard/forward, Duke

The 6-foot-8 freshman’s draft stock plummeted after a poor NCAA Tournament. But he has a nice shooting stroke and the skill set is there.

Worst-case scenario: There’s a big drop-off after the top three prospects, so if the Lakers are unable to trade this pick, they’ll be adding a young project to a roster full of them. And if big-name free agents don’t want to play with LeBron, expect a 2018-19 reboot.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP | FIRST ROUND: 1-7 P.M. TODAY, TNT

PGA Championship’s co-favorites might build golf’s next great rivalry FARMINGDALE, N.Y. When Tiger Woods finished his pre-tournament interview Tuesday at the PGA Championship, more than half the hundred or so reporters in the Bethpage Black media tent left with him. A smattering stayed for Brooks Koepka,

the tournament’s defending champion and a golfer on a hot streak in the majors. Woods is the main event, and Koepka’s the guy who wins a lot more than he smiles.

“I think I’m very stone-faced, very focused,” Koepka told the half-empty room at his news conference. “I think a lot of times it’s more not to let anybody know what’s going on in my head, keep it kind of a mystery.”

Woods was asked if Koepka

reminded him of a young Tiger.

At 43, Woods is 14 years older.

“No, I wish,” Woods said. “I was never that big. I was 130 pounds.

But we’re both able to generate [club-head] speed. I did it differently; I didn’t have muscle. I

did it through whip and timing.

Brooksy has just got pure power.”

When Koepka won last year’s PGA, Woods was two strokes behind in second. When Woods was first at the Masters last month, Koepka finished one shot back.

Koepka has won three of the last seven majors and finished 13th or better in 11 of 13 majors.

“We might be on the brink of the next great golf rivalry, the golf rivalry we’ve wanted forever,” CBS announcer Jim Nantz said of Koepka and Woods.

According to GolfOdds.com, Woods, Koepka, and Dustin Johnson are co-favorites to win at Bethpage, each at 10-1.

“I think one of the big things that I’ve learned over the last few years is you don’t need to try to go win it,” Koepka said. “Just hang around. If you hang around, good things are going to happen.”

He has learned to linger in the shadows, and clearly it’s a comfortable place to be. (LOS ANGELES TIMES)

League hires Deloitte CEO for new commissioner’s job

The Jets have fired general manager Mike Maccagnan and named coach Adam Gase the acting GM. Team chairman and CEO Christopher Johnson announced the decision Wednesday on the team’s Twitter account. Maccagnan, who was hired as general manager in 2015, oversaw the Jets’ draft less than three weeks ago. He and Gase had denied rumors that there was tension between them. When the Jets fired Todd Bowles last year, Maccagnan was involved in hiring Gase. Maccagnan was also active in free agency in March, spending big bucks to land running back Le’Veon Bell and linebacker C.J. Mosely. (AP)

Maximum Security’s owners have sued the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and racing stewards, seeking to reverse the horse’s Kentucky Derby disqualification for interference. The lawsuit filed by Gary and Mary West on Tuesday says that stewards relied on insubstantial evidence and questions the process before and after the disqualification.

The lawsuit says that due process was denied along with the $1.86 million winner’s share of the $3 million purse. (AP)

Sirius Company wants more audiences to see what the genre’s about MUSIC If you love go-go, you know the story by now. A MetroPCS vendor in Shaw had been pumping hyper-rhythmic go-go music from its storefront for years — until last month, when a resident of a neighboring luxury apartment building demanded silence.

For go-go’s faithful, it felt like a punch in the gut. But then, in the

words of go-go mainstay Frank “Scooby” Sirius, it started to feel like “a shot in the arm.”

The community has since rallied around the #DontMuteDC hashtag on social media, and it’s working — the music is playing in Shaw again and the public discussion about gentrification’s harmful effects on go-go has continued to spread.

“I think it’s good for us to speak up and stand up for our music,” Sirius says. “It brings new attention to the music and to what D.C. has been about for

the past four decades.”

In addition to speaking up, Sirius is bringing his current band, Sirius Company, into new venues.

The group, which also features

go-go vocalist Kimberly “Ms. Kim” Michelle, is currently preparing for a weekly residency at City Winery in Ivy City next month (1350 Okie St. NE; Wednesdays starting June

5, 9:30 p.m., $22). Next week, Sirius Company will kick off a new weekly go-go series at Hill Country Live in Penn Quarter — a venue traditionally associated with country singers and folk acts (410 Seventh St. NW; Tue. 9 p.m., $20-$25). Other bands booked for the Tuesday night go-go series include Suttle, Team Familiar, Black Alley, Be’la Dona and Secret Society.

In addition to inviting loyal crowds into new rooms, Sirius also sees these upcoming shows as a chance to familiarize the uninitiated with the District’s proudest musical tradition.

“We try to give them a sense of, ‘This is what we do, and you should get with it because you’re here now,’ ” he says.

URBAN FARMER

As a kid growing up in D.C., Kathleen O’Keefe didn’t know much about gardening. “My mom grew aloe and that was pretty much it,” she says. But when she saw her first rooftop farm in Brooklyn, during a 2013 trip to New York, something clicked. “I took a picture and put it on Instagram and tagged my friend Kris [Grina] and was like, ‘You want to do this?’” she recalls. Thus was born Up Top Acres, which now has about 2 acres of farmland spread across 10 D.C.-area rooftops. The business’s produce never travels far — most is carried by hand or bike to its final destination: nearby restaurants and regular folks with farm-share subscriptions. It was a great feat of imagination for O’Keefe, 28, to picture having an entire day off from work — but once she got going on her dream day, she came up with plenty of ways to get off the farm.

I used to row for Woodrow Wilson High School, and I miss being on the river. So I would get some of my old high school rowing friends and my mom, who is also a rower, and we’d go to Thompson Boat Center and go for a nice row. It’s so peaceful out on the water at sunrise. I’ve rowed on a lot of rivers, and the Potomac is by far my favorite.

We’d work up an appetite rowing, so we’d go to Ellē in Mount Pleasant. It’s really cute. They have really good breakfast sandwiches. I’d also get whatever the scone of the day is and a black coffee.

Afterwards, I’d grab my 2-year-old nephew and go for a hike in Rock Creek Park on the

For lunch, I’d go to Little Sesame. It’s hummus fastcasual, and so good. They have all these seasonal fresh toppings. Their cauliflower one is my favorite, but I might try whatever they have going for spring, like ramps or spring peas. It’s owned by another Wilson grad, Nick Wiseman, and he was a great mentor to us when we were starting up.

I’d drop by the Farm Friday Happy Hour, which is the third Friday of the month at Up Top Acres Farm at 55 M St. SE, by the Navy Yard Metro. We always have a bluegrass band and it’s a great place to watch the sun set behind the Washington Monument. I love those happy hours. I get to take a step back and say, “Wow, this is cool.

This is something we’ve built and people are enjoying it.”

For dinner, I’d meet up with José Andrés, who helped us get our first farm on the rooftop at Oyamel. He’s always full of ideas. Hopefully he wouldn’t mind going to another restaurant, because I’ve been wanting to try Tail Up Goat.

Afterwards, I’d go to The Anthem and see Maggie Rogers, who is actually coming in October. The Anthem is so well-designed. It’s big, but it feels intimate. It’s never crowded, and there’s always a place you can go and dance.

Composers Michael Stein, left, and Kyle Dixon are key to the unique world of “Stranger Things.”

Q&A | KYLE DIXON AND MICHAEL STEIN

Perfect ‘Stranger’ partners On a recent Tuesday afternoon, Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein were holed up inside a Los Angeles recording studio, surrounded by mixers and stacks of keyboards. You would have found them in the same place the day before, and the day before that.

Dixon and Stein are the composers for Netflix’s cult hit series “Stranger Things” — the guys who created the opening theme and synth-driven score that play a key role in creating the show’s spellbinding vibe. And they were up against a tight deadline, with less than a week to finish the music for the final episode of the third season, which arrives in July. The session was going well, Dixon said. “Like ‘Stranger Things’ on energy drinks,” Stein chimed in, crunching a just-guzzled can. Dixon and Stein (who are also one half of Austin-based electronic band S U R V I V E) took a breather to talk about their work and their upcoming performance at the Kennedy Center. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Let’s go back to the beginning: How did you two meet?

Dixon: We met when we were 13, at the skateboard park. The first time we made music together was probably about 10 years later.

How did the Duffer brothers, the creators of “Stranger Things,”

approach you about scoring the show?

Dixon: We got an email one day and they said, “Hey, we’re working on a sci-fi/horror series for Netflix.” That was all we needed to hear.

Stein: It came out of left field.

They had just gotten greenlighted to do this thing, and we

were like, it seems too real to be fake. But why are they emailing us?

Dixon: [In a stage whisper] Nobody really knows …

What was it like when the show blew up?

Dixon: Nobody knew what to expect. We didn’t tell anybody we were working on it.

Stein: I told my boss so I could explain why I was leaving.

Dixon: We both had to quit long before the show came out.

Stein: We definitely had to take a risk and be unpaid for a while.

We had to put all our energy into learning how to [compose] properly. We were 100% into this thing.

Dixon: I was fully ready for them to fire us up until it was out — not that I didn’t think it was going well, but you always see these stories, like the artist shows up to the premiere and his music isn’t in it.

Stein: Then it comes out and everybody’s like, “Oh, my god, the music,” and I was like, “All right, I guess it went well.”

What was your directive when you started writing for Season 1?

Dixon: They were like, “We know you can do epic. We know you can do dark, scary stuff. And we know you can make other music.

We just haven’t heard it yet.”

Stein: Like the more lighthearted stuff — they needed to make sure we could do that. It was also important to them that the music for “Stranger Things” wasn’t too retro or nostalgic. They didn’t want it to be super-cheesy synth music; they wanted it to be more modern and fresh.

Unlike in Season 1, you now write to picture — but it’s not finished yet, and the scenes you see are poor quality. Does that mean you watch the show when everyone else does, when it debuts on

LEE KIRBY AND NETFLIX/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

weekendpass Netflix?

Dixon: I’ve never watched it. I don’t see a reason to; I know exactly what’s going to happen.

Though I might watch the new season because I want to see how some stuff ended up looking.

Stein: I think the experience is better if you watch it with other people. My grandmother and her cousin are both fans of the show, and to see their experience or expression — that helps me understand the show a little better.

Dixon: I don’t know, I’m never going to put a song on and say, “Hey, you want to listen to my new song?” and watch how you react. That’s what it feels like to me. You guys enjoy it on your own; I don’t need to be there for it.

What appeals to you about writing music for TV? Stein: Sonically, we’ve always tried to create new and interesting sounds, atmospheric stuff that’s more dense or layered.

And that stuff just tends to work better to picture.

Dixon: We also don’t have aspirations to become singers, so making instrumental music generally comes with that.

Stein: It’s awesome now just getting to write — waking up and spending all day making music, and just having this puzzle to unlock. It’s like, here’s this scene, and I gotta figure out something I’m happy with to tell the story.

At the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, you’ll perform a tribute to the late Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson with the Spektral Quartet, and then play selections from the “Stranger Things” score. Do you enjoy performing live?

Stein: Some people are like, “I’m a performer, I want to perform,” and I’m like, “I like being alone in this room all day to make music.” But it’s also really great to go play that music for people.

Dixon: Especially in a place like that. We played D.C. with our band one time, but nowhere near as storied as the Kennedy Center.

Conquering our fears with curry

INSTANT THREEPLAY

Jim James 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW, Fri., 8 p.m., sold out, Sat., 6 p.m., $41.

Can you explain the title of the piece?

The title itself is bouncing off from Barnett Newman’s painting “Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue.” But, of course, there’s a relationship to Thai politics. In Thailand, the party colors are red and yellow — red being more grassroots farmers and the yellow shirts being more royalist.

And then, of course, the green is the military. In Thai cuisine, we also have yellow curry, we have green curry and we have red curry. So those are going to be the three kinds available in the installation. And I was also playing with the idea that there are different colors but we all share them together, we eat them together.

Do you feel like having the experience of eating a meal together can bridge these political differences?

It’s something every person does, to have a meal. It’s a platform

where we understand how to share. Whether we come with very different expectations, with very different backgrounds, with very different experiences, this is a platform we all can approach, because we understand [sharing food] on a basic level. So it can be a platform where we begin to understand each other.

In Bangkok you actually cooked curry yourself, using portable stoves on the gallery floor?

Yes, we actually had open fires and boiling pots of curry, which is impossible to do in any museum in the U.S. So [the Hirshhorn] has found a restaurant to basically cater the food. It’s not the same, but I think it’s more important that the atmosphere is right, the feeling is right, and the content is there. For more people to go to experience [the piece] even with a little bit of a compromise is maybe more important than trying to set up propane burners in that space.

100 TONSON GALLERY, BANGKOK PHOTOS

Does contemporary art make you hungry? Then you’re going to love the Hirshhorn’s new exhibit, “Rirkrit Tiravanija: Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Green.” The installation, which opens Friday, serves up three colors of Thai curry to lunchtime visitors, who can dine while watching area art students sketch images of political protests on the gallery walls. (Visitors can even assist with the drawing if they’d like.) Tiravanija, a Thai artist who grew up in Thailand, Ethiopia and Canada, is known for including communal elements like dining and group drawings in his installations. Often, he even cooks the food himself, as he did for the original 2010 manifestation of this piece in Bangkok. In the Hirshhorn version, the food will be catered by local restaurant Beau Thai, and visitors can try the curries (while supplies last) Thursdays through Sundays, 11:45 a.m.-1:30 p.m., through July 24. We talked to Tiravanija to learn what he hopes people take from the piece, besides a full belly. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Rirkrit Tiravanija, top, often includes communal activities in his works.

Above, the original Bangkok version of his curry-and-drawing installation.

In the original version of the piece, the gallery walls were covered with drawings of Thai protests. Will you be adding drawings of U.S. protests for the D.C. version?

We are going to mix the images up a bit. We’re going to bring some imagery from the protests on the Mall into the work, the Million Man March, The Women’s March.

And the drawings are going to be added to throughout the course of the exhibit?

Yes, the drawings will be drawn on top of each other. So there’s that kind of layering. My intention, which [probably won’t be] quite reached, is that the imagery

is layered to the point where you can’t see any more imagery, where it’s just black.

Is the overarching idea that art can make big political divisions seem a little less scary?

We are living in fear from many things — fear of difference, fear of otherness. These fears are being used ideologically to shift your allegiances, your politics. So [the piece] is asking, “Why should we be afraid of these things we are being told to be afraid of?”

With My Morning Jacket on a semi-hiatus, frontman Jim James released two solo albums of the same material last year: “Uniform Distortion,” the electric rock version, and “Uniform Clarity,” an acoustic take.

“It’s fun to play differently,” says James, who toured behind “Clarity” last year.

Before he brings “Distortion” (and a full band) to D.C. this weekend, he shared three songs that popped into his head. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

1

‘I Can See Clearly Now’

Johnny Nash

James calls this a “supermarket song.” “You hear them at the grocery when you’re a kid,” he says. “I don’t even like the recording that much, but I just love the song. It’s a beautiful sentiment.“

2

‘Tell the Child (About God)’

The Consolers

James has a long-running record night with friends in Louisville, Ky., which is where he recently heard this gospel song. “They sing so passionately and so amazingly,” he says. “That guy almost sounds like Bruce Springsteen.”

3

‘I Told Jesus’ Roberta Flack

“I’m tired of hearing people sing about love [or] heartbreak [or] falling in love,” James says. “I just want to hear somebody sing about God, but I also don’t care about God. But to hear somebody passionately sing about Jesus, to me, is really beautiful.”

MISSION COMPLETE

MUSEUMS The familiar, sleek lines of James Bond’s Aston Martin greet visitors in the glass lobby of the new International Spy Museum, a welcome nod to the entertaining exhibits of the popular Washington attraction’s previous location.

But suspended overhead is an Amber drone, precursor to the CIA’s remotely piloted Predator aircraft and an early clue that the new version of the museum brings a little edge to the fun and games.

The new museum opened last weekend at 700 L’Enfant Plaza SW — halfway between the Mall

and The Wharf — with a similar mix of the interactive adventures and historical artifacts that made the original Penn Quarter site a favorite after it opened in 2002.

The new iteration has plenty of gadgets, games and pop culture references. But it digs into heavier topics, too, with exhibitions focused on the debate over the use of torture in interrogations, the psychology behind the agent-handler relationship and the ethics of mass surveillance.

“A lot has changed in the last 17 years,” says Christopher Costa, the museum’s executive director and a former Army

intelligence officer. “We are able to update the stories, to leverage technologies that weren’t around 17 years ago. If we do our job,

people will be incredibly entertained and not realize they are thinking and learning.”

Closed since January to move across town into a space roughly twice the size of the original, the International Spy Museum is back with two floors of permanent exhibitions — divided into “how we spy” and “why we spy” — and a not-yet-ready gallery for rotating exhibits.

Many displays are rooted in historic events, including the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Cuban missile crisis, the Cold War and the bombing in Oklahoma City. Interactive games — some

multiplayer — include creating disguises, examining unconscious bias and more. An upgraded version of the kid-favorite “Operation Spy” immersive experience will be added in the future.

Visitors could spend hours in the galleries, which are bursting with dozens of videos, interactive stations and almost 1,000 artifacts. Read on for highlights of the museum’s new additions.

The raid on Bin Laden The 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound provides the material for an interactive exercise led by former CIA deputy director Michael Morell. In a video, Morell, who was part of the intelligence team that worked on the case, guides players through a set of questions and theories — a practice known as red-teaming — aimed at testing the assumptions of intelligence officers, finding holes in theories and deciding on a course of action.

What is the significance of the compound’s walled driveway?

What can be inferred from the compound’s burning of all garbage?

These and other issues are analyzed with audio, video and a model of the compound, making for a compelling exhibit.

A yellow caution sign warns visitors of the serious nature of the gallery inside, but even that might not prepare them for the no-holds-barred content. A waterboard kit and a stress box (a wooden structure that confines an individual in a crouching position) are shown, and wall text explores the definition of torture.

The strongest element is a video that attempts to answer the central question: Does it work?

Malcolm Nance, a retired Navy specialist, forcefully denounces waterboarding in a video interview. Countering him is Jose A. Rodriguez, former director of the National Clandestine Service of the CIA, who unequivocally states that the practice has resulted in intelligence that saved lives.

“Much like intelligence agents, we don’t take sides — we deliver facts,” Costa says of the museum’s approach to hot-button issues.

The cases of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Edward Snowden are used to examine government engagement in secret activities and what happens when the secrets are revealed. “It’s a direct departure from the old museum,” curator Vince Houghton says of the new displays. “These are controversial, and we have to present them in the most apolitical way possible.”

A critical part of a joint American-British mission, the tunnel provided access from West Berlin to East Berlin to tap into Soviet communication lines. The Soviets knew about the operation from an agent embedded in British intelligence, but they allowed it to continue to avoid compromising him.

A peach of an Apple Store The company wants to make its new home at Carnegie Library a destination ETC …

Carnegie Library in Mount Vernon Square is one of the most striking sites in the District. But for such a stunning building, it’s gone through an awkward transition — for years, it sat largely lifeless as the city shrugged over how to best use it. Now, it’s the home of Apple’s flagship D.C. store (801 K St. NW), but you’ll probably end up there more often for something other than

getting your cracked iPhone screen fixed.

“With [the store] being a former library, we really wanted to pay homage to that,” says Ashley Middleton, head of programming for Today at Apple, an initiative offering free educational sessions at select company stores (Carnegie being one).

“We want to treat it as a new center for learning and creative experiences.”

At the store, which opened last weekend, visitors can take lessons on coding, photography, design and more creative topics that integrate Apple devices.

Apple’s community-focused agenda isn’t anything revolutionary in the tech industry. What is, though, is how the company overhauled the 116-year-old building it’s now leasing.

Carnegie Library is one of 13 Apple Store locations in the world featuring a “town square” concept, designed to accommodate classes and other public gatherings. The library renovation took

two years and reportedly cost $30 million (though Apple has not released specific figures).

Some of the library’s hallmark decor was restored to its original state, including the Guastavino tile ceiling in the basement, where a gallery of historic Carnegie Library photos and documents is located. Wait — there’s a gallery at the Apple store? Yup. Three, actually. Aside from the basement gallery, there are two more at the Historical Society of Washington, D.C.’s new DC History Center inside the library: the DC Hall of History, with local

artifacts from various eras, and another gallery housing “The Big Picture,” a sweeping collection of panoramic photos of Washington from the past century (for more, see page 28). There’s also a research library, slated to open in July, where anyone can access the nonprofit historical society’s massive archive, in addition to a gift shop with local goods. All of it is open to the public for free.

“We’re trying to connect our collections back to the local community, so they can find themselves within it,” says John Suau, executive director of the

drawing event Sunday during which she will showcase portraits she designed on an iPad and draw portraits of visitors. “If the store gets more people into the building, checking out the DC History Center, and can support local artists and get people involved in something creative, then I think that’s a positive thing.”

After the festival, the store will continue to host free creative workshops led by staff and outside local talent, Middleton says. It’s all part of the master plan to build Apple’s reputation beyond the tech space.

“As a team, the most important thing for us is to stay as authentic to D.C. as possible,” she says. “To celebrate the space as a center for learning, but to also give the community a platform to share their stories.”

Of course, if you’re interested in checking out the latest Apple gadgets or fixing the ones you already own, you can do that at the new store too. But the DC History Center is one way Apple hopes to sell its new home to the public as a cultural destination rather than a glorified showroom.

Another way is through its six-week StoryMakers Festival, which begins Saturday and will feature 40 artists leading workshops on topics including photography, design and music using Apple products. The festival will conclude with No Kings Collective’s three-day block party June 27-29.

Among the 1954 graduates of D.C.’s now-defunct Randall Junior High School is Motown pioneer-to-be Marvin Gaye. The District native sharpened his singing skills in the school’s glee club before embarking on a storied music career.

The sheer number of artifacts in the Historical Society of Washington, D.C.’s archive is mind-blowing. There are over 100,000 cataloged photographs alone, in addition to thousands of manuscripts, maps and books centered on local history. Most of these items were donated by private collectors, businesses, local organizations and other historical repositories, and date as far back as 1640.

The 1975: The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, above, can be a little too grandiose at times, but his candor and lofty ambitions are what make the band one of pop’s most interesting acts. The 1975’s latest album, “A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships,” is a disjointed effort — abruptly swerving from a shrilling guitar track (“Give Yourself a Try”) to dancehall (“TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME”) to downtempo (“How to Draw/Petrichor”) — but each song shines in its own right. On Tuesday, the band headlines at The Anthem.

Ghost Light: After a year of touring, Ghost Light dropped debut album “Best Kept Secrets” in March. The resulting songs sound like the jam band version of Fleetwood Mac: catchy hooks, dueling vocals from singers Tom Hamilton and Raina Mullen, and an exploratory edge the group will showcase in concert at The Hamilton on Saturday.

‘Dawson’s Fall’ is a timely look at a dark past

The “Big Bang Theory” cast members relish one of their final opportunities to film the show together — until we get the inevitable revival in 10 years.

After the ‘Big Bang’ goes off The sitcom comes to an end tonight. Is it the last of a dying breed?

TELEVISION In 2006, TV critics swooned over “30 Rock,” part of a new breed of comedy that dared to fly without a laugh track and whose ranks included “Arrested Development,” “The Office” and “Everybody Hates Chris.”

Then a misfit nerd crashed the party. “The Big Bang Theory” was crafted in the multi-camera style of 1950s hit “I Love Lucy,” with the requisite studio audience tapings and recorded guffaws intact. Even some of those making the CBS comedy that debuted in 2007 questioned its chances, says star Jim Parsons. “ ‘We’re making the last great

buggy wagon in the age of the Model T, but the Model T is here.

So how long does this go?’ ” was how one writer framed the contrast between old-school and 21st-century TV comedies, Parsons recalls.

As the enduringly popular series bows out at 8 p.m. tonight with an hourlong finale, the question is raised anew: Will viewers accept another traditional sitcom?

Who better to ask than Chuck Lorre, who created “The Big Bang Theory” with Bill Prady and whose mastery of the genre has produced winners including “Two and a Half Men” and “Mom.” Lorre, however, also makes Netflix’s contemporarystyle comedy “The Kominsky Method.”

“I still believe that shooting a show in front of an audience is

a wonderful way to tell a story,” L orre says. “I don’t think the audience watches (‘The Big Bang T h e o r y ’ ) a n d Lorre counts cameras. They watch the show because they love the characters and it delivers on the comedy.”

Competition from streaming platforms, along with established basic and premium cable players such as FX, HBO and Showtime, will continue eroding the broadcast networks’ audience, and thus sitcoms’ share of the pie. When “Cheers” left the TV stage in 1993 after an 11-year run, it drew more than 80 million viewers, a number “Big Bang Theory” can’t hope to touch and which now belongs only to the Super Bowl. Sitcoms airing

on the major broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox — also are increasingly elbowed out of the Emmys. (The last multi-cam series to claim the best comedy series trophy was “Everybody Loves Raymond” in 2005).

True enough, says Robert Thompson, a Syracuse University professor of TV and popular culture. But he points out that the popularity of multi-cams remains strong enough to create a financial bonanza from reruns, with shows as unalike as “The Golden Girls” and “Seinfeld” still popular well after their 20th-century heydays.

“There’s a lot of people out there who would like to do be the person who creates the next ‘Big Bang Theory,’ ” he says.

“And, someone’s going to do it.”

CBS shares a look at what’s next

CBS said Wednesday that its fall lineup will include “Bob Hearts Abishola,” a new series from “The Big Bang Theory” creator Chuck Lorre. The show will star “Mike & Molly’s” Billy Gardell and “Transparent’s” Folake Olowofoyeku. Other stars joining CBS’ 2019-20 schedule include Edie Falco in the police drama “Tommy,” former “NCIS” star Pauley Perrette in the sitcom “Broke” and Patricia Heaton in the comedy “Carol’s Second Act.” (AP)

“Rick and Morty” to return in November on Adult Swim

“Madam Secretary” to end with upcoming sixth season on CBS

BOOK REVIEW A newspaper on the brink. Racial tensions that break out into violence. Roxana Robinson’s new novel is ripped from the headlines — but these headlines are from the end of the 19th century.

Based on the lives of Robinson’s great-grandparents, “Dawson’s Fall” is both rooted in its time and speaks directly to ours. The book, which came out Tuesday, also is a moving love story between two people whose morality seems muddied, from the perspective of 2019.

Frank Dawson fought for the Confederacy; his wife Sarah’s family owned slaves. “All Southern families who trace their bloodlines back before the Civil War are affected by that peculiar institution,” Robinson writes.

The novel plunges us into that Southern legacy. (On her family’s other side, Robinson is related to the abolitionist preacher Lyman Beecher and “Uncle Tom’s Cabin“ author Harriet Beecher Stowe.)

Robinson vividly evokes settings in just a few sentences.

Using far-flung sources and excruciating care, she creates the map; her novelist’s skills render it in 3D. Few Americans may have an ancestry as acutely divergent across the MasonDixon Line as Robinson has, but the legacy of slavery and the Civil War is still being felt by our nation. This is a richly envisioned attempt to reconcile with that history. CAROLYN KELLOGG (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

John Lithgow, center, and Laurie Metcalf play the titular roles in the Broadway production “Hillary and Clinton.”

Uncovering empathy in ‘Hillary and Clinton’ Stars John Lithgow and Laurie Metcalf play the political power couple STAGE Before theater critics were invited to “Hillary and Clinton” on Broadway last month, the production made an unusual offer to the two people who above all others might have been expected to rake it over the coals.

“Bill and Hillary should have the chance to see it, but there’s no way they can sit in an audience in a Broadway house and watch this,” says actor John Lithgow, who plays the former president in Lucas Hnath’s new comedydrama. “So we offered to perform it for them in an empty theater, just before we opened.”

The Clintons declined the invitation to come, Lithgow says.

Learning this, one’s curiosity about the life they have led together only intensifies.

“I read the script and I wanted to be in it,” Lithgow adds, “but my immediate anxiety was, ‘What were these two people going to think?’ Because I admire them, I know them, I care about them.”

Like the other actors in the 80-minute play — including Laurie Metcalf as Hillary Clinton — Lithgow decided that the opportunity was too intriguing to pass up, as long as it wasn’t an exercise in character assassination.

“We think, ‘Why are they together?’ And Lucas has the nerve to address it in the play,” Metcalf says. “We all just wanted to make sure that it wasn’t done with a

wink, that it was respectfully portrayed, and with as much empathy as possible. Because we all feel that.”

Under Joe Mantello’s direction, the play is set immediately before and after the 2008 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary. Owing much to the power of Greek drama, “Hillary and Clinton” is an account of two destinies, forever interlocked and yet forever in conflict.

“Laurie and I play these two characters who have two parallel, contradictory, cautionary tales in their lives,” Lithgow says.

“Bill’s tale is: Careful what you wish for — you may get it. And hers is: Careful what you wish for — you may never get it.”

trending “Do NOT pay this billionaire your hard-earned money so you can tear up your precious faces with tiny bits of walnut. DO NOT.” @IMTEDDYBLESS, blasting Kylie Jenner’s inclusion of a walnut face scrub in her

new skin care line, Kylie Skin. The backlash to the announcement was swift and twofold: Many doubted Kylie’s claim in a YouTube video that the walnut scrub was her “secret to a fresh face.” They also pointed out that dermatologists advise against walnut scrubs, since the particles can cause micro-tears in the skin. Some recalled a lawsuit brought against St. Ives in 2016, alleging that its apricot scrub caused inflammation. (That suit was ultimately tossed.)

TODAY: After that chance of a few early morning showers, skies should become partly sunny as highs head for the mid-70s through the day. Winds will be fairly light from the northwest.

Light winds from the south will make for a mild night, with lows holding up in the mid-50s to low60s under partly cloudy skies.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be better off today than you have been in recent days, but you can’t simply sit still and expect improvements.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are fighting with your instincts today, but you’re not sure what the main problem is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Money matters come to the fore today, not because you’ve done anything wrong but because you can do much to avoid a problem in the future.

Mick Jagger tweeted a video Wednesday of himself dancing around a studio in front of a mirror weeks after he underwent medical treatment, reportedly for a heart valve issue.

The treatment forced the Rolling Stones to postpone its “No Filter” tour. The 75-year-old rocker was told by doctors in late March he could not go on tour at the time. Jagger tweeted in March that he was “devastated” that he couldn’t tour.
