A statue of the Virgin Mary stolen from a Vermont nativity scene more than two years ago has been located. The statue, stolen in January 2016, was found in a storage area and returned to the Lyndon Ecumenical Council. The Caledonian Record wrote that a municipal administrator recognized the missing statue in photos taken by the town health officer during an inspection. A statue of the baby Jesus stolen at the same time remains missing. (AP)

South Carolina’s most talented escape artist may be a kangaroo. News outlets reported the McCormick County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday that a mischievous marsupial was roaming the county for the second time in three days. Maj. Robert Christie said authorities have yet to discern how it escaped, but it may have found a weak spot in a fence. The sheriff’s office said the owners are licensed to keep the kangaroo in South Carolina. (AP)

A woman in Sweden changed her son’s name after getting a tattoo that misspelled it, NPR reported Thursday. As a result of an error by the artist, the tattoo read “Kelvin” instead of “Kevin.” As time passed, the woman decided she preferred the name Kelvin, so she decided to rename her son rather than alter or remove her tattoo. Kelvin, being just 2 years old, may not even notice the difference. (EXPRESS)

It’s never too late to graduate EDUCATION Dressed in a black cap and gown with a velvet-trimmed stole and surrounded by family, Carlos Manuel Sera watched the live stream in his son’s house in Houston on Friday and waited.

First came the valedictorian.

Then the salutatorian. Then the senior associate dean for the undergraduate program at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business read out Sera’s name.

His children and grandchildren cheered. He rose shakily to his feet. At age 81, he was officially a graduate. His shoulders heaved and he began to weep.

Sera grew up in D.C. in the 1940s and ’50s, the son of a diplomat in the Cuban embassy.

In 1955, he was accepted as an undergraduate at Georgetown University, a dream come true.

Sera matriculated at the university and loved it. He played on the basketball team and joined the Hispano-Americano club.

Ahead of graduation time, Sera had already been offered a

Carlos Manuel Sera got an A in his final course, “Federal Income Taxation.”

job with Sears, Roebuck and Co., and he started in the new position without finishing the tax class that would have completed the final four credits of his degree.

He went on to become a successful international businessman, working in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East and finally settling in Houston with his wife and four children. Wherever he went, he ran into Georgetown graduates, but he knew he wasn’t quite one of them. “Not finishing was always there,” he said.

“I stood up. This was the way to do it. So I stood up and I said thank you to the Big Boss for everything.”

CARLOS MANUEL SERA, said of watching his Georgetown graduation ceremony at home in Houston with family on Friday.

Sera’s family encouraged him to complete his degree work.

It wasn’t until this January, when his granddaughter Vanessa Weitzman, 18, visited Georgetown on a college tour, that the truth surfaced. She asked: Why had she never seen photos of his graduation? Sera confessed that he had come close to graduating, but had not quite made it.

His daughter (and Vanessa’s mother) Mayte Sera Weitzman snapped into action. She sent a letter to the university explaining the situation. “It landed on someone’s desk who cared,” she said. The university found that he had only one class to take, and arranged for him to take it remotely, throwing in a scholarship that covered the expenses.

This month Sera finished the class “Federal Income Taxation” — with an A — and his college education was complete.

He had hoped to attend the ceremony in person, but a recent stroke left him unable to travel.

“Carlos, we know you’re watching from Houston,” said Paul Almeida, Dean and William R. Berkley Chair at McDonough from the stage. “We are tremendously proud of you. ... And, while you have always been a Hoya, today we make it official.”

Portrait of Henrietta Lacks goes on display Henrietta Lacks is the subject of a portrait newly on display at the National Portrait Gallery. Lacks was the source of an “immortal” line of human cells involved in some of medicine’s greatest breakthroughs.

Her cells were taken without her permission or knowledge from a biopsied tumor before she died of cervical cancer in 1951.

Lacks’s significance and the moral questions raised by her story are subtly woven into the artistic details of the portrait, which was commissioned by HBO and painted by Kadir Nelson.

It is on display through Nov. 4. (TWP)

5 GWU students allege ‘nightmare’ atmosphere THE DISTRICT Five students are suing George Washington University, alleging that a man who worked at an institute at the school raped female student-employees and bragged in the workplace about sexual encounters.

In the lawsuit, the women describe the institute’s workplace as a “nightmare, prisonlike environment.”

The women are identified as Jane Does 1 through 5 in a complaint filed in D.C. Superior Court this month. In the

documents, they allege the university knew of their concerns and allegations but did not act to protect the women.

The man accused of rape is not named as a defendant. Another institute employee who is listed as a defendant pushed back against the allegations and said the complaint was “inaccurate in a number of respects.”

Brendan Klaproth, the attorney for the women, said in an email: “These women complained to GW, but their complaints were ignored. At GW, it seems as if the

rights of the assailant trumped the rights of the women who had been assaulted and harassed.”

Maralee Csellar, a George Washington spokeswoman, said the university takes sexual misconduct and sexual violence issues seriously. It is university policy not to comment on cases while they are pending, she said.

“The university is committed to fully supporting any survivors and providing an equitable process for those who are accused,” she said. SARAH LARIMER

In what will surely be seen as a sign of the times, Uber will fund an extra hour of Metro service for fans attending the Washington Capitals Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Capital One Arena tonight, officials said Sunday. “The more fans we have out the better, and the more transportation options the better,” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said. The ride-hailing firm stepped up after Game 4’s late-night service was funded by DowntownDC Business Improvement District, via a donation from the nation of Qatar. “It’s obviously a much easier deal than Qatar,” Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans said.

Metro does not sponsor late-night service, costs $100,000 per hour and must be funded by an outside party. (TWP)

MUSSEL RESTORATION IN MD.

The number of baby mussels scientists hope to plant in the Patapsco River, which might not have hosted a mussel in about 100 years. The mussel is prized for its ability to filter water in freshwater streams, much as oysters do in brackish waters like the Chesapeake Bay, but they have vanished from some rivers due to damming, pollution, runoff and the loss of some fish. Mussels also provide a food supply for other species. Biologists with Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources are hoping for a 25 percent survival rate. (THE BALTIMORE SUN)

Ballot issues unresolved in Md. governor’s race Valerie Ervin’s name will not appear on the ballot as a gubernatorial candidate in Maryland’s Democratic primary despite her decision to seek the office after the unexpected death of her running mate.

Maryland’s top elections official said in a court affidavit Friday that officials are still figuring out how to count votes for Ervin in the June 26 primary. She said it’s too late to change ballots because they’re already being printed.

Ervin was initially a candidate for lieutenant governor on a ticket with Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. (AP) FAIRFAX COUNTY

Eight days of rain drench the region REGION Rain, such as we’ve had in D.C., has consequences, and among them on Saturday was the delivery by one speaker of two commencement addresses, first to one half of the graduates of Georgetown College, and then to the other.

It rained Saturday morning, and rather than hold its college commencement outdoors on the campus lawn, Georgetown went with Plan B, and moved indoors.

But not a l l c ou ld fit i n McDonough arena simultaneously. So one ceremony was held for grads in the first half of the alphabet, and then for the others.

And Susan Hockfield, neuroscientist and holder of a Georgetown Ph.D., seemingly undaunted, gave an identical address to both ceremonies.

It was but one of the many accommodations and adjustments

required by such rain as has been our lot.

Since it began on May 12, rain fell on each of the eight days through Saturday.

In Washington it amounted to more than 6 inches at Reagan National Airport, where official measurements are made.

Saturday’s rainfall alone amounted to more than three quarters of an inch.

On Saturday afternoon, the Nationals played their first full game in six days, under dispiritingly gray if not rainy skies.

At the foot of Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown, the mudbrown waters of the Potomac River reached moderate flood stage of 7 feet, according to National Weather Service data.

The Weather Service did not expect it to rise much higher.

Trump demands probe of surveillance by FBI

HISTORIC DOCUMENTS

Arrest records of Parks, MLK to be archived

WASHINGTON President Trump said Sunday that he would demand that the Justice Department explore whether it or the FBI “infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes” — escalating a battle over federal law enforcement’s use of a confidential source to aid its probe into whether the Trump campaign and Russia coordinated to influence the 2016 election.

Trump wrote on Twitter, “I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes — and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!”

The tweet seemed to be a response to recent reports about the FBI using a longtime intelligence asset to advance its investigation into Russian election meddling.

Trump and his allies have seized on the use of the asset to claim the FBI has spied on his campaign.

The president’s impending demand is significant in its own right: the nation’s chief executive ordering an investigation into the investigation of his campaign.

But it also could presage more important developments.

House Intelligence Committee

ANDREW HARRER-POOL (GETTY IMAGES)

Wants to know if use of source inside his 2016 campaign was ‘political’

President Trump said Sunday he will call on the Justice Department to investigate whether the FBI surveilled his campaign for “political purposes.”

Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., has sought documents on the FBI’s use of the asset and, so far, has been rebuffed by Justice Department leaders, who worry that exposing the source could put him in danger.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced in March that he would explore controversial applications to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, along with the department’s relationship with a former British intelligence officer who provided information cited for those requests. That review, which will assess whether the FBI and the Justice Department complied with the law and their own policies in

requesting and carrying out the surveillance, might already cover at least part of what the president is requesting.

It is possible that Horowitz’s work might have naturally led him to look at the FBI’s use of the confidential source. What would be more explosive would be for the president to order the Justice Department to turn over documents on the source to Congress — which department leaders have said they are unwilling to do. The president could order the department to produce the materials, but that would spark significant backlash in the department and the broader intelligence community. MATT ZAPOTOSKY, DAVID NAKAMURA

In addition to familiar names such as Parks, below, and King, he said, the records include the names of lesserknown people: witnesses who saw Parks’ arrest; bus boycott participants; and those who put up bond to free people from jail.

Mexico probing safety complaints against company in Cuba wreck HAVANA The Mexican charter company whose 39-year-old plane crashed in Havana had been the subject of two serious complaints about its crews’ performance over the last decade, according to authorities in Guyana and a retired pilot for Cuba’s national airline.

Mexico’s government said late Saturday that its National Civil Aviation Authority will carry out an operational audit of Damojh airlines to see if its “current operating conditions

continue meeting regulations” and to help collect information for the investigation into Friday’s crash in Cuba that left 110 dead.

The Boeing 737 was barred from Guyanese airspace last year after authorities discovered that its crew had been allowing dangerous overloading of luggage on flights to Cuba, Guyana’s civil aviation director said Saturday.

The plane and crew were being rented from Mexico City-based Damojh by EasySky, a Hondurasbased low-cost airline, and by Cubana de Aviacion.

Cuban Transportation Minister Adel Yzquierdo Rodriguez said that Cubana had been

renting the plane for less than a month and that Damojh was responsible for plane maintenance.

Yzquierdo also said the jet’s “black box” voice recorder had

been recovered and that Cuban officials had granted a U.S. request for investigators from Boeing to travel to the island.

Ovidio Martinez Lopez, a former pilot for Cubana, wrote on Facebook that a plane rented from the Mexican company by Cubana briefly dropped off radar while over the city of Santa Clara in 2010 or 2011. As a result, Cuban officials suspended a captain and co-pilot for “serious technical knowledge issues,” and Cuba’s Aviation Security authority recommended that Cubana stop renting planes and crews from Damojh, Martinez wrote.

Official: ‘We were prepared’

School leaders say procedures worked as intended, but a gunman was still able to enter facility and kill 10

Officials weigh in on what’s wrong After a 17-year-old opened fire in his Texas high school, killing 10 people, several officials made comments or posted messages on social media about what they believe needs to be done to keep shooters away from students. (TWP/AP)

Lucretia Martinez, 7, attends a candlelight vigil for the shooting victims Friday in Santa Fe, Texas.

AFP/GETTY IMAGES

SANTA FE, TEXAS They, like so many others, thought they had taken the steps to avoid this.

The school district had an active-shooter plan, and two armed police officers walked the halls of the high school. School district leaders had even agreed last fall to eventually arm teachers and staff under the state’s school marshal program, one of the country’s most aggressive and controversial policies intended to get more guns into classrooms.

They thought they were a hardened target, part of what’s expected today of the American public high school in an age when school shootings occur with alarming frequency. And so a death toll of 10 was a tragic sign of failure and needing to do more, but also a sign, to some, that it could have been much worse.

“My first indication is that our policies and procedures worked,” J.R. “Rusty” Norman, president of the school district’s board of trustees, said Saturday, standing exhausted at his front door. “Having said that, the way things are, if someone wants to get into a school to create havoc, they can do it.”

Friday’s mass shooting again highlighted the despairing challenge at the center of the ongoing debate over how to make

schools safer.

The gunman in Santa Fe used a pistol and a shotgun, firearms common in many Texas homes, firearms he took from his father, police said. So there were no echoes of the calls to ban assault rifles or raise the minimum age for gun purchases that came after the shooting three months ago in Parkland, Fla. Most Texans didn’t blame any gun for the tragedy. Instead, many pointed to a lack of religion in schools.

“It’s not the guns. It’s the people. It’s a heart problem,” said Sarah Tassin, 61. “We need to bring God back into the schools.”

Texas politicians are pushing to focus on school security — the hardening of targets.

The gunman shot a school police officer who approached him, then talked with other officers, offering to surrender. The entire episode lasted a terrifying 30 minutes, according to witnesses and court records.

The suspect A junior at Santa Fe High, Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, hid a shotgun and a handgun under his trenchcoat before opening fire in a first-period art class on Friday, according to an affidavit filed by police. Though Pagourtzis allegedly wrote about his intention to carry out the attack, authorities have not indicated a motive. (AP)

Gov. Greg Abbott, R, said he planned to hold roundtable discussions starting Tuesday on how to make schools even more secure. One idea he and other state officials mentioned was limiting the number of entrances to the facilities. Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, said Congress eventually would consider legislation focused on “hardening targets and adding more school metal detectors and school police officers.”

And the school district had some practice. In February, two weeks after the Parkland shooting, Santa Fe High went into lockdown after a false alarm of an active-shooter situation, resulting in a huge emergency response.

The school won a statewide award for its safety program.

“We can never be overprepared,” Norman said. “But we were prepared.”

His school board approved a plan in November to allow some school staff members to carry guns, joining more than 170 school districts in Texas that have made similar plans. But Santa Fe was still working on it, Norman said.

All of these efforts, Norman said, are “only a way to mitigate what is happening.” TODD C. FRANKEL, BRITTNEY MARTIN, TIM CRAIG AND CHRISTIAN DAVENPORT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

North said on “Fox New Sunday” that students “shouldn’t have to be afraid” to go to school and blamed the problem on “youngsters who are steeped in a culture of violence” in which many young boys have “been on Ritalin” since early childhood.

Duncan pushed a radical idea on Twitter: Parents should pull their children out of school until elected officials pass stricter gun control laws. He later said the idea was intended to be provocative but that an aggressive approach is needed for change.

Patrick called for a “hardening” of the nation’s school buildings and suggested restricting school entrances and arming teachers.

“Had there been one single entrance possibly for every student, maybe he would have been stopped,” he said.

‘I was not one bit surprised’

The lives lost Here are the stories of the 10 victims — eight students, two teachers — of Friday’s mass shooting at Santa Fe High School. (TWP/AP) Jared Black, 17 Black turned 17 Wednesday and was looking forward to a party at his family’s just-purchased above-ground swimming pool.

Shana Fisher, 16 Sadie Rodriguez, Fisher’s mother, described her daughter as “shy and sweet” with a passion for video games.

EDUCATION Daniel Gelillo glanced at his phone between taking Advanced Placement exams Friday morning when he saw that there was a shooting at a high school in Texas. His sadness quickly gave way to frustration — another school day in America, another school shooting.

“I was not one bit surprised that it happened,” said Gelillo, a 17-year-old senior at Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville, Md. “I feel ... if we lived in a country where this wasn’t the norm, time would stop.

We would all be just in like a state of absolute and utter confusion and despair. But life goes on.

That’s just how it is here.”

High school students have spent their entire educational lives participating in lockdown drills and walking into schoolhouse doors fortified with bulletproof glass.

After absorbing school shooting after school shooting, there is a pervasive sense of numbness.

The 10 people killed in Santa Fe High School on Friday are, tragically, just another entry on the growing list of massacres that keep happening in schools.

While school shootings remain rare, it is no longer a matter of whether there will be another one in America; it is a matter of when and where. The reality has led to students sitting in class

plotting how they would get out should someone start shooting, parents afraid to send their children to school and a resignation that nothing is likely to change any time soon.

“It’s been happening everywhere,” said Paige Curry, a student at Santa Fe High School who was asked by a reporter if she ever thought that a shooting could happen at her school. “I’ve always kind of felt like eventually it was going to happen here, too.”

Since 13 people were killed in a massacre at Columbine High School in 1999, more than 214,000 students have been exposed to a school shooting at 216 schools nationwide, according to a Washington Post analysis. This year alone, there have been 16 school shootings, with 31 people dead.

This includes the shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., where 17 people were killed in February. Students started a wave of activism in its wake, marching in Washington for safer schools and gun control and starting the #NeverAgain movement to stop school shootings.

“It’s so difficult to shout #NeverAgain with as much conviction when I am constantly losing hope for our country and our government,” tweeted Carly Novell, who survived the Parkland shooting.

“I can only say the same phrase so many times, but it keeps happening again and again and again

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI (AFP/GETTY IMAGES)

For students across the country, shock over school shootings has turned to numbness

A makeshift memorial is left near Santa Fe High School in Texas, where a gunman on Friday opened fire, killing eight students and two teachers.

Grim statistic The Texas school shooting on Friday bolstered a stunning statistic: More people have been killed at schools this year than have been killed while serving in the military. There have been 31 deaths in 16 school shooting incidents this year. According to Defense Department news releases, there have been 13 service member fatalities in seven incidents in 2018.

Separate data compiled by the Navy, including the Marines, adds another seven casualties to the total, excluding motor vehicle accidents.

In May, an Air National Guard plane crashed in Georgia, killing nine and bringing the military total to 29. (TWP)

and again . . . ” Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo, who believes some gun control measures should be put in place to prevent such shootings, said he hit “rock bottom” after

Taiwan “angry” over not being invited to World Health Organization assembly due to tension with China

the most recent attack.

“When you start hearing young people that go through this say ‘I knew it could happen here, I’m not surprised it could happen here, I expect it could happen here,’ it tells me that we failed,” Acevedo said in an interview. “We failed as a nation, we failed as policymakers.”

Maryam Kia-Keating, an associate professor of psychology at the University of California at Santa Barbara who studies childhood trauma, said in addition to the news of school shootings, children as young as 3 and 4 are now participating in lockdown drills.

“It’s really shattering our beliefs in a safe and just world,” she said. “In some ways, we’re just surviving by becoming a little bit numb, but it’s not a desirable outcome. It’s going to have a very bad ripple effect down the line and even right now.” KATIE ZEZIMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Christian Riley Garcia, 15 Garcia’s cousin, Ashley Fonseca, 21, said her fondest memories were with Riley at family trips to Crosby, Texas, where they would fish, water ski and Jet Ski. Aaron Kyle McLeod, 15 McLeod could always be counted on to make light of any situation, said close friend Kali Reeves.

Glenda Ann Perkins Perkins for years had been a substitute teacher at Santa Fe High School, where her grandchildren are students.

Angelique Ramirez, 15 Pastor Brad Drake described Ramirez as “sweet” with “a style all of her own.” She “almost always had a new hairstyle,” he said.

Sabika Sheikh, 18 Abdul Aziz Sheikh said his daughter, a Pakistani foreign exchange student, aspired to work in civil service, hoping one day to join Pakistan’s Foreign Office.

Christopher Jake Stone, 17 Stone was outgoing, “really funny” and had a lot of friends, said junior Branden Auzston, 17.

Cynthia Tisdale, 63 Leia Olinde said of Tisdale, her aunt and a substitute teacher, “I’ve never met a woman who loved her family so much.”

Kimberly Vaughan Kandi Hart, a member of Vaughan’s family, told the Antelope County News that “Kim is now in heaven with her Lord.”

ECONOMY Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the administration is putting its trade war with China “on hold” after two days of talks in Washington that he said had produced agreement on increased Chinese purchases of American products and measures to make it easier for U.S. companies to operate in China.

President Trump had threatened to impose tariffs on $150 billion in Chinese imports unless China made widespread changes in industrial policies that he said required U.S. companies to surrender technology secrets to do business in China. Mnuchin said the two sides have agreed on a “framework” to avoid the sanctions that requires China to lower tariffs on unspecified American goods, protect U.S. technology and buy more madein-the-USA items.

“Right now we have agreed to put the tariffs on hold while we try to execute the framework,” Mnuchin said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will be dispatched to Beijing “immediately” to work out the details of accelerated Chinese purchases, Mnuchin said. He would not comment on reports that China had balked at agreeing to a U.S. request for $200 billion in increased annual purchases, a figure that many economists regard as impossible. Instead, he said the two sides had agreed on specific targets for individual sectors. DAVID J. LYNCH (TWP)

position that he does not trust the North Koreans, a different person familiar with his views said.

Aides emphasized that Trump remains committed to meeting with Kim, but that time is short to nail down an agenda and finalize several issues. The senior U.S. official said Pyongyang appears to be trying to extract more concessions from the U.S. before the summit, or to be building a narrative to blame Trump if things go poorly in Singapore.

“People need to get real here after the euphoria of the peace summit” between Moon and Kim, the U.S. official said.

Mnuchin: U.S. trade war with China ‘on hold’

On thin ice NHL PLAYOFFS Alex Ovechkin has 13 NHL seasons under his belt, a heap of gleaming silver in his trophy case and spatters of gray in his hair. He is accomplished beyond what most hockey players can dream. And yet this spring, Ovechkin discovered a fluorescent new reality. The time of year that once brought torment provided a nightly, blissful awakening. He was 32 years old, and he was a child on his first trip to Disneyland.

He is still in maiden territory, the Eastern Conference finals, but all of a sudden it is pouring rain, the lines are long and all the rides are broken. A week ago, it was finally the spring of Alex Ovechkin. After a fruitless two games in Washington and a mostly miserable Saturday night in Tampa, it is now teeteringly close to the spring of Alex

Ovechkin captaining another Caps playoff collapse, except a little closer to Memorial Day than usual.

“We just have to win two games,” Ovechkin said just past 10 p.m. Saturday, as if that is a simple task. The Capitals’ season — and therefore Ovechkin’s chance at a career-validating Stanley Cup — is on the brink after Tampa Bay held off Washington, 3-2, in Game 5.

Game 6 is 8 tonight (NBCSN) at Capital One Arena. Game 7, if necessary, would be Wednesday night in Tampa.

On Saturday night, Ovechkin blasted a puck past goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy with less than two minutes left, and he played a starring role in the Capitals’ stirring, six-on-five onslaught to end the game. But he made his impact only after an offensive disappearance. For the first 50

minutes, Ovechkin, the franchise pillar, did not put a shot on net.

If you want to know how the Capitals fared, it’s usually safe to start with Ovechkin’s stats.

He scored 18.9 percent of Washington’s goals this season; the Capitals require his scoring.

In Washington’s two victories in Tampa to start the series, Ovechkin scored two goals and recorded two assists. In the three losses since, he has managed only the goal he scored with 1:36 left in Game 5 and one assist.

In perhaps the most important game of his career, Ovechkin did not put a shot on goal until 3:38 remained in the third period.

Power plays tend to activate Ovechkin, not only giving him the chance to camp on the left circle and fire lethal shots but also providing energy to the rest of his game. With the Capitals unable to draw a single penalty,

Ovechkin never asserted himself offensively.

Ovechkin landed nine shots on net in Game 3. In Game 4, only three attempts forced a save, but he whistled 13 shot attempts. On Saturday night, he attempted just one shot in the first two periods.

“I don’t think they do something special,” Ovechkin said.

“I tried to play a different way.

I tried to use my body, tried to get a hit.”

Despite the frustration of losing a third consecutive playoff game, Ovechkin remained outwardly buoyant Saturday night.

Past 10:30 p.m., he had dressed in a gray suit and red tie, a cowlick springing from his head.

He waved to a roomful of reporters and grinned. He walked down the concrete hall, toward a waiting bus, toward the next biggest game of his career.

Justify keeps showing something new each time he races. In the Kentucky Derby, he showed he could run in the mud in a 20-horse field. In the Preakness in Baltimore on Saturday, he showed he could withstand the challenge of a top rival pressing him early and hold off others before the finish line — also in the mud.

For his next trick, he’ll need to show he can endure the grueling 1½-mile Belmont Stakes in New York at 6:30 p.m. on June 9. If he does that, Justify will be horse racing’s second Triple Crown winner in four years (after American Pharoah in 2015). The odds are against it: Twelve out of the past 13 times a horse won the Derby and Preakness, they lost the Belmont. (AP)

He seeks advice from S. Korea’s president on recent shift in tone NATIONAL SECURITY President Trump spoke late Saturday to South Korean President Moon Jae-in amid increasing concerns in the White House that North Korea is not serious about striking a deal on denuclearization, which has complicated planning for the Singapore summit.

On the call, Trump sought Moon’s interpretation of Pyongyang’s shift last week to a harderline position, a sharp contrast to the more positive and constructive tone after Moon met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un last month, according to a senior U.S. official.

North Korea’s recent actions, including its cancellation of a working-level meeting with South Korean officials and a threat to call off Kim’s summit with Trump on June 12, have alarmed the Trump administration and created new complications in the preparations with just over three weeks left.

Soto’s arrival brightens Nats’ dismal weekend

WNBA

Toliver and Delle Donne help Mystics win opener

NBA PLAYOFFS PATRICK McDERMOTT (GETTY IMAGES)

NATIONALS The Nationals had a dismal weekend — losing three games at home to the Dodgers and adding to their injury list.

But there was one enjoyable storyline for Nationals fans: the promotion from the minors Sunday of super-prospect Juan Soto, 19, who became the youngest active player in the majors.

The Dodgers’ Enrique Hernandez and Yasiel Puig each hit two-run homers Sunday to help beat the Nationals 7-2.

Hernandez’s blast off Stephen Strasburg in the fifth inning put the Dodgers up 3-2. Yasmani Grandal also homered off Strasburg (5-4), who allowed three runs and five hits over 6 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts.

The loss capped a weird stretch for Washington, which swept Arizona last weekend and then went five days without playing a full game because of rain.

Los Angeles, after losing six consecutive games, has now won four straight overall and five of six over Washington this season.

Soto made his debut in the eighth as a pinch-hitter and struck out against Erik Goeddel.

Soto played for three teams in the minors this season — most recently Class AA Harrisburg

GETTY IMAGES

19-year-old prospect promoted from minors, but Dodgers still sweep

Nationals player to reach the big leagues at 19 was Bryce Harper in 2012.

The Nationals’ outfield has been hit hard by injuries, most recently when Howie Kendrick ruptured his Achilles tendon Saturday. Kendrick’s move to the DL opened up a roster spot for Soto.

“I was in shock,” Soto said before Sunday’s game. “I didn’t think it would happen that quick but I feel pretty good.”

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said he doesn’t want Soto to languish on the bench.

“He’s going to get a chance to play,” Martinez said. “I wa nt to put h i m i n sit ua tions where he can succeed.”

Suddenly, the Boston Celtics’ hot start in the Eastern Conference finals seems like a long time ago.

The Cavaliers rolled the Celtics 116-86 on Saturday night in Cleveland, with Game 4 in the same venue tonight at 8:30 (ESPN).

The Celtics lead the series 2-1, but they are 1-5 in six road games in these playoffs. The Celtics are 15th among 16 teams in field goal percentage in the playoffs and 15th in 3-point percentage on the road.

They could advance to the NBA Finals by winning their two remaining home games, but a Cavs victory tonight would shift the momentum of the series.

Bidding a fond farewell

8 p.m. Tuesday on ABC

With a finale titled “Knee Deep,” the sitcom’s much-discussed revival concludes its first season back after revealing last week that Roseanne Conner (Roseanne Barr) is addicted to opioids.

HBO, 2005

The final minutes of Alan Ball’s intense family drama about a funeral home remain, for many viewers, the gold standard of satisfying finales.

Claire (Lauren Ambrose), the young rebel of the Fisher clan, sets off to start a new life in New York, and her cross-country drive shifts into an expertly conceived and edited montage of flashforwards, building on the show’s signature motif of the moment of death. What could be more conclusive than killing everyone off? We see the deaths of most of the show’s characters until we arrive at Claire’s own peaceful demise, at 102.

‘The Sopranos’

‘Mad Men’

‘Twin Peaks: The Return’

HBO, 2007

AMC, 2015

Showtime, 2017

Still a sore point for many fans and the subject of frame-by-frame analysis, the end to New Jersey mafia man Tony Soprano’s (James Gandolfini) story arrives in abrupt fashion. In the final minutes, we see the Soprano family gather at Holsten’s for dinner. Every time the bells on the restaurant door jangle, Tony’s eyes dart and the viewer’s heart rate spikes. The bell jangles one last time and the screen goes dark. Was Tony shot by the man who had just walked to the restroom?

Yes or no, the message is clear: If not now, Tony will spend the rest of his life waiting for a bullet.

As the 1970s began and Matthew Weiner’s moody drama about advertising exec Don Draper (Jon Hamm) grew more nebulous, fans were ready to entertain just about any theory about its finale. It turns out Don is an itinerant soul to the end, until he seems to have a breakthrough while meditating at a Northern California retreat center.

A grin crosses his face and “Mad Men” plays out to Coca-Cola’s iconic commercial of that era (“I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing”). Interpretations abound: Don found his next million-dollar idea.

Or Don found inner peace. Maybe it’s both?

Ingeniously, David Lynch had it both ways with the finale to the return of his groundbreaking drama. The first hour saw FBI agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) put things as right as they could ever hope to be in a Lynchian universe.

But the second half is a beautifully rendered mindblower, as Cooper and Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) journey back to Twin Peaks, where the last semblance of narrative certainty falls away with a bloodcurdling scream. Whatever it’s supposed to mean, this is the finale for people comfortable living in a permanent state of WTF.

The series finale is a do-or-die moment when a show gets one last chance to say whatever it has to say and do whatever must be done. At this moment, all eyes are on FX’s “The Americans,” which will look to stick the landing May 30.

But what shows already belong to the pantheon of great endings? We’ve ranked the best finales from TV’s current golden age (beginning in 2005).

Perhaps no finale in recent memory has more fully honored the spirit and tone of its own making than the conclusion to the saga of Walter White, an Albuquerque science teacher who becomes a master meth-maker and discovers his own capacity for evil. Before Walt (Bryan Cranston) dies in a finale shootout with a neoNazi drug cartel, he gives everyone what they deserve or require: Skyler gets the truth, Jesse gets freedom and viewers get a moment to consider what it means when a person’s moral compass points so surely in the other direction.

1980s nostalgia is the primary source of funds for William Zabka’s retirement plan.

MARC SILVER | BROADCAST MUSE

The rematch is on: ‘Cobra Kai’ catches up with the karate adults There are many questions to ask about the hit show “Cobra Kai.” Let’s try to answer them.

What’s the premise?

It’s a 10-episode sequel to the 1980s movie “The Karate Kid,” revisiting the characters some 30 years later.

Remind me what ‘Karate Kid’ was about.

Mean teen Johnny Lawrence and his fellow students at the Cobra Kai karate school bully nerdy Danny LaRusso. But then Danny learns karate from a Japanese master and defeats a seemingly repentant Johnny.

How are grown-up Johnny and Danny doing?

The characters, portrayed by the actors from the movie, have done a switcheroo. William Zabka’s Johnny is definitely not the cock of the walk. He’s browbeaten by the rich lady for whom he toils as a handyman, drinks beer out of a paper bag while driving and lives in a dump. Ralph Macchio’s Danny, on the other hand, owns an auto dealership, leads a princely life and is annoyingly cocky.

Is it any good?

Like the hard rock music coursing through the show, “Cobra Kai” is not exactly subtle. Johnny is pretty down and out but is inspired to return to karate when he sees a teen

$125M

being — you guessed it — bullied. So he opens a new Cobra Kai school. On the bright side, the show serves up goofy fun because Danny and Johnny irk each other so much.

What role does karate play?

The point is to use it for good.

Then again, the Cobra Kai motto is: “Strike first. Strike hard. No mercy.”

What will you find?

Find the daily quiz questions in the PostPoints column in Metro.

Then, find the answers and enter online for your chance to discover something extraordinary.

Is ‘Cobra Kai’ really a hit?

Yes — the first for YouTube Red ($10 a month, but you get a 30-day free trial). According to Variety, when the show premiered May 2, “Cobra Kai” had 46.9 million “demand expressions” (e.g., mentions on social media, online reviews, etc.) vs. 25.1 million for “The Handmaid’s Tale.” And it’s been renewed for Season 2.

How does Ralph Macchio stay so youthful and shiny?

I read that his secret to eternal youth is eating broccolini.

The photo of Meghan was taken during the procession after Saturday’s ceremony. @Oureric had another popular take on the image: “When you just lit 2 billion people up with social justice preaching,” a reference to the progressive sermon by the American Episcopalian bishop Michael Curry.

Overall, people on the internet gave the royal couple the best gift of all for their nuptials — memes. The wedding inspired a number of them, from how Pippa Middleton’s dress looked like can of Arizona green tea to a photo of Markle’s “Suits” costar Louis Litt looking totally unthrilled at the ceremony. @ShamanSHRLNS summed it up: “The best thing about the royal wedding is the memes.”

people GET BACK TO THE DRESS!

Harry was also there

More than 100,000 people surrounded St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday to see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, formerly Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — but really to catch a glimpse of Markle’s dress. Here are the details. (EXPRESS/THE WASHINGTON POST/AP) AP AND GETTY IMAGES

The dress Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy is the designer behind Markle’s wedding gown, featuring a boat neckline, three-quarter length sleeves and an A-line skirt with a nearly 6-foot long train. According to Kensington Palace, Markle wanted a dress with an “elegant aesthetic, impeccable tailoring, and relaxed demeanor.”

‘SUITS’

Royal weddings: Not just for A-listers anymore The 600 guests Prince Harry and Meghan Markle invited to their wedding ceremony on Saturday included a slew of celebrities. Amal and George Clooney, Serena Williams and husband Alexis Ohanian, David and Victoria Beckham, Priyanka Chopra and Oprah Winfrey were among the famous guests on hand. Several of Markle’s former co-stars on the USA Network paralegal drama “Suits” were invited, including Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, Abigail Spencer and Patrick J. Adams. (AP)

The veil Markle’s cathedral-length veil was embroidered with flowers representing the 53 countries of the British Commonwealth, Kensington Palace and her home state of California. The veil was carried by two pageboys who followed Markle down the aisle.

Markle wore Queen Mary’s diamond and platinum bandeau tiara, which Queen Elizabeth II lent to her. The tiara, created in 1932, carries a central brooch that dates to 1893.

The bridal bouquet included forgetme-nots, the late Princess Diana’s favorite flower. Myrtle sprigs were drawn from a plant grown from myrtle used in Elizabeth’s wedding bouquet in 1947. Other flowers were hand-picked by Harry from the Kensington Palace garden.
