Four kittens rescued after birth in utility truck

D.C. parks lead the U.S. Washington and nearby Arlington stand out for their recreation areas RECREATION When it’s not being criticized as a swamp that must be drained, Washington is occasionally praised for its arboreal charms.

Now, it is official: The District took the top spot in a national survey of large U.S. cities with the best parks, closely trailed by Arlington at No. 4.

The survey, released Wednesday by the San Franciscobased nonprofit the Trust for Public Land, ranked the nation’s 100 largest cities on park

access, acreage, investment and amenities.

The District came in at No. 1, with a “ParkScore� of 83.8 out of 100. The report noted that 98% of D.C. residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park, and 21% of the city is parkland.

Arlington, meanwhile, scored an 81.3, earning top marks for its large number of basketball hoops — 7.8 per 10,000 residents — and dog parks, with 3.5 per 100,000 residents. (Arlington is a county but is treated as a city for the purposes of the report.)

The District leaped into first place after besting Minneapolis, which led the survey last year, and St. Paul, Minn.

BONNIE JO MOUNT (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Meridian Hill Park is one of the green spaces that account for 21 percent of D.C.’s land.

ANIMALS

Zoo watches, waits for signs of panda cub

Charlie McCabe, director at the Center for City Park Excellence at the Trust for Public Land, credited the District’s gain to an increase in amenities like basketball hoops and splash pads.

Money is the key to better parks, McCabe said, and some cities at the bottom of list that still are recovering from the Great Recession don’t have it.

D.C. spends $270.40 per resident on parks, the survey found, while Arlington spends $267.23.

While the District has many federally funded parks, the city earned points for amenities largely found in its neighborhood parks, McCabe said.

Zoo officials are patiently waiting to see if Mei Xiang is pregnant, after artificially inseminating the giant panda on March 28. As expected, no indications have yet emerged regarding the result of the procedure.

Caretakers are waiting and preparing Mei Xiang for tests to determine whether a new cub is forthcoming. The zoo’s male panda, Tian Tian, however, is still in his mating season until June, and he often peers in the windows between his yard and Mei Xiang’s.

Photo inquiry inconclusive Investigators could not determine if Va. Gov. Northam is in racist yearbook picture

AP AND GETTY IMAGES

VIRGINIA The mystery of whether Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam was in the racist yearbook photo that nearly destroyed his career remains unsolved.

A months-long investigation ordered up by Eastern Virginia Medical School failed to determine whether Northam is in the picture published in 1984 of a man in blackface next to someone in a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe.

Investigators with a law firm hired by the school said Wednesday they couldn’t conclusively establish the identities of either person in the 35-year-old photo that was on Northam’s yearbook page alongside pictures of him.

They also said they couldn’t determine how the photo ended up on Northam’s page, but found no evidence it was put there by mistake or as a prank.

When the picture came to light in February, the Democrat initially acknowledged he was in it and apologized without saying which costume he was in, then reversed course the next day, saying he was not in the photo.

But he acknowledged he once wore blackface decades ago to look like Michael Jackson for a dance contest.

“No individual that we interviewed has told us from personal knowledge that the governor is in the photograph, and no individual with knowledge has come forward to us to report that the governor is in the photograph,” the

law firm, McGuireWoods, said.

In a statement Wednesday, Northam, a 59-year-old pediatric neurologist who went into politics late in life, repeated that he is not in the photo and apologized again to the people of Virginia, admitting his handling of the episode “deepened pain and confusion.”

The findings are unlikely to

have a major effect on Virginia politics or Northam, who managed to fend off demands for his resignation and survive the uproar.

Northam has also been striving to make amends with black leaders, winning their praise for such moves as ending the suspension of driver’s licenses for unpaid fines and ordering a

review of how schools teach the nation’s racial history.

Del. Lamont Bagby, chairman of the Virginia Legislature’s black caucus, said the inconclusive report “doesn’t change a thing as it relates to the challenges that we have to do,” adding: “We’ve got 400 years of stuff to clean up.”

Virginia politics was turned upside down in a matter of hours last winter after a conservative website posted the picture.

The picture started a wave of scandals that quickly enveloped Northam’s two potential successors, both Democrats.

Two women publicly accused Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault, which he denied. And just days after calling on Northam to resign, Attorney General Mark Herring announced that he, too, had worn blackface in the 1980s when he was in college.

Both Fairfax and Herring also rejected calls to resign.

GOP House Majority Leader Todd Gilbert panned the investigation, saying the report didn’t prove Northam isn’t in the picture. He also noted that according to the report, the medical school’s leaders knew about the picture before it became public and said nothing.

“It certainly appears that there was an effort to avoid public disclosure of such a racist photograph on the yearbook page of the most prominent alumni in school history,” Gilbert said.

Senate employee died Sunday after altercation outside restaurant in Navy Yard

Dock stations for e-scooters coming to D.C. TRANSPORTATION Electric scooters have posed a problem outside storefronts and heavily trafficked buildings since they began appearing in dozens of cities across the U.S. last year.

Unevenly parked and prone to tipping over, the devices clutter entrances, turn off potential customers and give off a general whiff of unnecessary chaos.

Now, D.C. and Ann Arbor, Mich., have agreed to move forward with a 60-day pilot program that is being billed as a way to bring order to that chaos.

The evolving plan — being launched by the electric scooter company Spin and a California startup called Swiftmile — involves installing dozens of electric docking stations on sidewalks as a way to charge e-scooters, give riders a designated place to park their devices and draw more foot traffic to particular locations.

Benjamin Fong, Spin’s director of business development, said 40 docking stations built by Swiftmile will be placed in D.C. over the summer and 10 will be placed in Ann Arbor. For now, he said, the solar-powered stations will be compatible only with scooters from Spin.

D.C. has about 650 Spin scooters on its streets, Fong said.

“It’s also a win for cities because it helps reduce the clutter of scooters on the street and it’s a win for customers because it helps them find a scooter,” he added. PETER HOLLEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Md. adopts new clean energy bill MARYLAND Maryland must get 50% of its electricity from renewable energy sources like wind and solar by 2030 under a bill that will become law without Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s signature.

Only D.C. and nine states, including California, New Jersey and Hawaii, have renewable standards at 50% or higher, according to the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. The Maryland bill allows subsidies for producers of green energy, including some that generate pollutants, like trash incinerators and paper mills.

“This is the strongest bill ever passed in Maryland to fight global warming and now stands as a national example,” said Mike Tidwell, director of the network.

Hogan announced Wednesday that he would allow the legislation to move forward “despite serious concerns” over the cost of the bill and whether it will preserve jobs in the state and have the impact legislators are expecting.

While rejecting the General Assembly’s effort, Hogan said he remains committed to addressing

climate change. He pledged to push legislation next year for 100% clean energy by 2040.

“This bill is not clean enough, not smart enough, nor does it create the intended jobs within Maryland,” Hogan wrote in a letter to Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, D-Calvert.

In his letter to Miller, Hogan said his plan would include increasing the use of zero- and lowcarbon clean and renewable energy, “recognizing the clean and safe aspects of nuclear energy,” and supporting hydropower.

The governor said he will propose a bill next session that aims to “get us to zero carbon emissions, rather than just increasing the quotas for dirty energy and outdated technologies.”

‘American Taliban’ Lindh set to walk free

JAKARTA, INDONESIA

6 dead in riots stemming from election results

THERE BE DRAGONS

J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE (AP)

NATIONAL SECURITY John Walker Lindh, the young Californian who became known as the “American Taliban” after he was captured by U.S. forces in the invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, is set to go free after nearly two decades in prison.

But conditions imposed recently on Lindh’s release, slated for today, make clear that authorities remain concerned about the threat he could pose once free.

Lindh, now 38, converted to Islam as a teen after seeing the film “Malcolm X” and went overseas to study Arabic and the Koran.

In November 2000, he went to Pakistan and from there made his way to Afghanistan. He joined the Taliban and was with them on Sept. 11, 2001, when al-Qaeda terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The U.S. attacked Afghanistan after the country failed to turn over al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Lindh was captured in a battle with Northern Alliance fighters in late 2001. He was present when a group of Taliban prisoners launched an attack that killed Johnny Micheal “Mike” Spann, a CIA officer who had been interrogating Lindh and other Taliban prisoners.

Release terms suggest the Californian may still be considered a threat

John Walker Lindh, right, heads to his first court appearance in Alexandria on Jan. 24, 2002. He is being released today after about 17 years in prison.

captured among Taliban fighters created an international sensation, and he was brought to the U.S. to face charges of conspiring to kill Spann and providing support to terrorists. Eventually, he struck a plea bargain in which he admitted illegally providing support to the Taliban but denied a role in Spann’s death.

Lindh received a 20-year prison sentence. He served roughly 17 years and five months, including two months when he was in military detention. Federal inmates who exhibit good behavior typically serve 85% of their sentence.

His probation officer asked the court to impose additional

restrictions on Lindh while he remains on supervised release for the next three years. Lindh initially opposed but eventually acquiesced to the restrictions, which include monitoring software on his internet devices; requiring that his online communications be conducted in English and that he undergo mental health counseling; and forbidding him from possessing or viewing extremist material, holding a passport of any kind or leaving the U.S. Authorities never specified their rationale for seeking such restrictions. A hearing on the issue was canceled after Lindh agreed to them. MATTHEW BARAKAT (AP)

Officer says cases have ‘similarities the public needs to be aware of’ DALLAS The shooting deaths of two transgender women and the stabbing of a third are being investigated to determine whether they are connected, police in Dallas said Tuesday.

No arrests have been made.

Weddington, in pointing out the similarities, said two of the victims had gotten into a vehicle with someone prior to their deaths, while the third had allowed someone inside her car to pick up a passenger. He declined to specify which victims did what, citing the investigation.

Meeting goes bust in a flash

DOJ to turn over more files from Mueller report

previous presidents.

“He just took a pass,” Pelosi said. “And it just makes me wonder why he did that. In any event, I pray for the president of the United States and I pray for the United States of America.”

Prospects for the meeting’s success were never high: Neither side wanted to unveil its plan to pay for the ambitious program, while the term “Infrastructure Week” drew snickers from White House aides and reporters alike who recalled how other efforts at the initiative inevitably were overshadowed by chaos.

That happened again Wednesday, and as Washington reeled from the Rose Garden spectacle, Trump turned to Twitter to make his sarcastic retort: “Nancy, thank you so much for your prayers, I know you truly mean it!” JONATHAN

POLITICS Easing some of the escalating tension between Congress and the White House, the House intelligence committee postponed efforts to enforce a subpoena against the Justice Department on Wednesday after officials agreed to hand over a cache of documents related to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia report.

The agreement came a day after the department said it would be willing to provide documents from Mueller’s investigation but only if the committee didn’t take action against Attorney General William Barr. The panel had been expected to vote at Wednesday’s meeting — now postponed — on an unspecified “enforcement action” against Barr or the department after they refused to hand over an unredacted version of Mueller’s report and other Russia probe documents.

Democrats have accused President Trump and Barr of trying to stonewall and block their constitutional oversight duties. A separate House panel voted this month to hold Barr in contempt after he failed to comply with a similar subpoena.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the Justice Department will begin turning over 12 categories of “counterintelligence and foreign intelligence materials as part of an initial rolling production,” and that process should be completed by the end of next week. MARY CLARE JALONICK AND

POLITICS The curtains in the Cabinet Room were drawn. The Democrats were waiting. And President Trump came and went in three minutes, never stopping to sit down or shake hands.

Trump’s angry walkout on Wednesday left behind a shattered bipartisan infrastructure effort and an escalation of tension between the president and the congressional Democrats investigating him. He barked at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for earlier suggesting he was involved in a “cover-up” and headed to the Rose Garden for an impromptu news conference in which he declared that he would not work with Democrats if they continue with their probes.

“I don’t do cover-ups,” Trump said. “You can’t do it under these circumstances. So get these phony investigations over with.”

Trump’s anger had been building well before he stepped into the Cabinet Room for a follow-up meeting with Democrats about an infrastructure deal that both parties already suspected was on life support.

Long upset by the wave of Democratic investigations into his administration, Trump was incensed by reports Tuesday that some of his closest former aides, including ex-communications director Hope Hicks, for whom the president has long had a soft

The president reached a boiling point just a few hours before the meeting, when he saw media coverage of Pelosi’s remark. She told reporters after a private meeting with House Democrats that Trump was “engaged in a cover-up” even as she tried to temper impeachment talk in her own party. Trump told aides that he would refuse to work with Democrats and, over some advisers’ objections, called for the Rose Garden news conference.

After the president left the Cabinet Room, Pelosi looked across the table at Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and others around the room and described how Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt brought people to the White House to solve infrastructure problems, but this president chose to walk out.

White House reporters were summoned for an unscheduled news conference in the Rose Garden. A printed sign that read “No Collusion” and “No Obstruction” was hastily posted on the president’s lectern. And Trump held up a printed version of an

Judge denies Trump request In a blow to president, banks are cleared to share financial records COURTS A federal judge on Wednesday rejected a request by President Trump to block congressional subpoenas for his banking records, dealing the latest blow to the president in his bid to battle Democratic investigations into his personal finances.

The decision in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York could clear the way for Deutsche Bank and Capital One to hand over the president’s financial records to Democrats in the House.

Trump’s attorneys could appeal

the decision.

Attorneys for Trump, his family and the Trump Organization filed for a preliminary injunction earlier this month as part of a lawsuit seeking to block the two institutions from handing over documents to the House Financial Services and Intelligence committees.

“There will be no way to unring the bell once the Banks give Congress the requested information,” William S. Consovoy, Patrick Strawbridge and Marc Mukasey wrote. “The Committees will have reviewed confidential documents that this Court may later determine were illegally subpoenaed.”

But U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos said Wednesday

Tax returns next?

New York lawmakers passed legislation Wednesday that would allow President Trump’s state tax returns to be released to congressional committees. A spokesman said that Gov. Andrew Cuomo supports the principle behind the legislation but will review the bill carefully. If Cuomo signs the bill, it could be delayed by a court challenge. (AP)

that Trump’s lawsuit was unlikely to succeed. In his ruling from the bench, Ramos said he would not halt enforcement of the subpoena.

The ruling comes two days after a federal judge in Washington

rejected the Trump legal team’s argument in a separate case seeking to block the House Oversight Committee’s demands for records from Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA. Trump’s attorneys notified the judge on Tuesday that they have appealed “all aspects” of that ruling.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., welcomed Wednesday’s ruling. “Two in one week: Mazar Monday, Deutsche Bank today,” she said.

Deutsche Bank has been a major lender to both the Trump Organization and Kushner Companies, which previously was run

by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is a presidential adviser. RENAE MERLE, MICHAEL KRANISH AND

Jewish leaders criticized Belarusian officials for rushing to bury the remains and continue construction instead of running DNA tests to identify the deceased.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has moved to have truckloads of garbage that Filipino officials say were illegally shipped to the Philippines years ago forcibly shipped back to Canada, Duterte’s spokesman said Wednesday.

“The president’s stance is as principled as it is uncompromising: The Philippines as an independent sovereign nation must not be treated as trash by other foreign nations,” Salvador Panelo said.

Canadian Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said later that the trash will be back on Canadian soil before the end of June. McKenna said the government has awarded a contract to a shipping company that will return 69 containers filled with household waste and electronic garbage.

The Philippine government recalled its ambassador and consuls in Canada last week over Ottawa’s failure to comply with a May 15 deadline to take back the garbage.

At least 103 containers of household trash were shipped in batches from Canada to the Philippines from 2013 to 2014.

Most of the shipping containers remain in two ports in Manila and northern Subic Freeport, sparking protests. Philippine officials say they were falsely declared by a private firm as recyclable plastic scraps and that they’ve been asking Canada to take back the garbage. JIM GOMEZ (AP)

In his second season as Nationals manager, Dave Martinez is already on the hot seat.

HIGH HOPES

Mystics top preseason WNBA poll

THOMAS BOSWELL | THE WASHINGTON POST

Every day Dave Martinez meets the media before the Nationals game. The Nats manager joshes with reporters as naturally as any manager you’ll find — never pitching or promoting himself. In a job where “guile” is almost always a necessary trait, Martinez seems to have little.

Martinez never says, or even implies, that he’s a good in-game manager. He was a player — with 1,599 hits and $15.5 million in salary — so to him, the sport is all about the players. The manager’s job is to do his homework, study his men and their foes, so he can put them in spots where they have the best chance to do well.

The idea that Martinez would not be able to manage people seems bizarre. Who couldn’t work for him? You can talk to him honestly about your sore hamstring or your life. You could say, “I disagree with how you’re handling me” and he’d listen, maybe even admit a mistake and change his method.

Not often. But he would.

It is difficult to believe that, after 37 years in pro ball, including 10 years as a bench coach, any of the basic strategies or decisions of a ballgame would flummox him.

And yet, right now, if I were asked if the Nats should fire Martinez, I would, unhappily, and with a sincere desire to be proved wrong, say, “Probably.”

The Martinez Problem — and it seems to increase exponentially with each week, forcing decisions near Memorial Day rather than the more sensible Fourth of July — is specific to this Nationals team. What they need — someone who can build a decent bullpen out of scrap and someone who can put the fear of a wrathful deity into anyone who screws up fundamentals — isn’t what he’s got.

The Nats still can’t defend a safety squeeze bunt, or remember that the cutoff man is not 20 feet tall, or grasp that a base runner’s first responsibility is to avoid getting picked off. The Nats still regard turning double plays as optional; they need a manager who

JOHN McDONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Good guy, bad fit: It’s probably time to let Martinez go

regards it as a prerequisite to remaining in the lineup tomorrow. Pitchers, including Max Scherzer, don’t seem to grasp that giving up a gopher ball on an 0-2 pitch is about the dumbest thing you can do.

Martinez addresses all these issues. But after more than 200 games, they haven’t changed.

Until he hit D.C., Martinez had done everything imaginable, except be responsible for handling pitchers and deciding, in real time, what to do in the crucial, close late innings of games — which means about half of all games.

Last May, Nats relievers were concerned that Martinez was managing “like it’s September in May.” This year, it has been more of the same, but with the added twist that it sure looks like Martinez,

whether he knows it or not, wants desperately to win every game — for the standings, but also to preserve his job.

I have worked my way back from “Have Patience” to “Wait ’Til Mid-Season” to “It’ll Get Better” as the roster gets healthy and relievers pitch like the backs of their semi-decent baseball cards. But every brutal loss changes the picture.

When you’re just one more bad skid from a dozen-game deficit, then it’s probably time to get Joe Girardi, Buck Showalter, Mike Scioscia or “other” on the horn.

Watching bad things happen to nice people is sad. But so is watching these Nats under Martinez.

The Mystics sit atop the preseason Associated Press poll for the first time in the four-year history of the poll. The Mystics, runners-up in last season’s WNBA Finals, received five first-place votes from the 14-person national media panel Wednesday.

Washington is led by Elena Delle Donne, below, who was the panel’s preseason player of the year. She is receiving treatment for a leg injury and may miss the start of the season. The WNBA tips off its 23rd season Friday, with Washington playing at Connecticut at 7:30 that night. Delle Donne was joined on the AP preseason all-WNBA team by Liz Cambage, A’ja Wilson, Tiffany Hayes and Brittney Griner. (AP)

REDSKINS

RAPTORS AT BUCKS | GAME 5: 8:30 TONIGHT, TNT

On cruise control, Bucks hit roadblock in Toronto ANALYSIS The Raptors have been in this spot before: as the East’s No. 2 seed, knotting up the conference finals against a favored No. 1 seed with a Game 4 victory.

Three years ago, Toronto pulled level with the Cavaliers at 2-2 in a 105-99 home victory.

Cavaliers star LeBron James was unimpressed. After leading a Game 5 blowout win back in Cleveland, the four-time MVP famously said: “I’ve been a part of some really adverse situations and I just didn’t believe that this was one of them.”

Toronto’s 120-102 victory over the Bucks on Tuesday was a statement game that should shake Giannis Antetokounmpo and company.

After narrowly escaping a double-overtime thriller in Game 3, Toronto responded by running Milwaukee off the court two nights later. The Bucks, having lived a charmed existence until now, suddenly find themselves in what James would call an “adverse situation.”

Milwaukee’s team defense, the league’s best during the regular season, crumbled Tuesday.

Six Raptors players finished in double figures, feasting on

With series tied up 2-2, Giannis and company finally face a challenge

Foster to miss entire season with torn ACL

poor rotations and flat-footed reactions.

Kyle Lowry led the way with 25 points as the Raptors registered more assists, hit more 3-pointers, won the rebounding battle and got better bench production. Kawhi Leonard, on an injured leg for the second game, only needed to score 19 points in 34 minutes.

“We’ve got to guard better,” said Khris Middleton, who led Milwaukee with 30 points.

Starting point guard Eric Bledsoe has been dreadful this series.

He’s shooting 24.4% overall and 13.8% from outside five feet.

“We’re going to need Bled,” Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer

said. “Eric has been great for us.

His defense. His ability to attack.

We need him to play better.”

Game 4’s ugliness puts the Bucks in their toughest spot all year: For just the second time all season, they responded to a loss with another loss.

“There’s no pressure,” Antetokounmpo insisted after Game 4.“There’s no pressure. We have to take care of home. That’s our job. I don’t think there’s pressure.”

When James claimed the Raptors didn’t represent true adversity, it was easy to believe him. Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, has his hands full.

Redskins linebacker Reuben Foster tore his ACL and will miss the coming season, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed. The team initially feared Foster had torn his ACL in a freak fall during Monday’s offseason practice but was waiting for him to see a specialist Tuesday for confirmation of a diagnosis. Doctors worry that Foster might have nerve damage as well, but they won’t know until he has surgery. He is expected to have surgery once the swelling in the knee goes down. Foster injured his left knee Monday on his first play in the initial drill of the team’s first practice.

WIZARDS’ GM SEARCH

Ex-Hoyas coach Thompson defends Ferry

Former Georgetown coach John Thompson Jr. on Tuesday defended Danny Ferry, a candidate for the Wizards’ general manager job. “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of what I’m hearing people refer to Danny Ferry as if he’s a racist,” Thompson told The Team 980. “Not only would he be a hell of a general manager, but he’s a local guy who knows this area and this community.” Ferry, left, was dismissed as GM of the Hawks in 2015 after he read a scout’s racist comments about Luol Deng on a call with team executives.

Overtime rules won’t change, despite request NFL MEETINGS A proposal by the Chiefs to guarantee each team at least one possession in overtime was not ratified by NFL team owners during their one-day meeting Wednesday at a Florida resort.

The Chiefs’ proposal came back up for consideration after being discussed and tabled at the annual league meeting in March.

No vote was taken by the owners Wednesday on the proposal due to a lack of support. It was clear that the measure would not generate the 24 votes among the 32 teams necessary for ratification.

The Chiefs made their proposal after losing last season’s AFC championship game on a Patriots touchdown in the opening possession of overtime.

That is the lone scenario by which an overtime game can end after one possession.

Chiefs officials said they made their proposal out of a sense of fairness, not merely in reaction to the AFC title game.

Supporters contended that this approach to OT is more important than ever in an age of high-powered NFL offenses, given the increased likelihood that the team that wins the coin flip will be able to drive to a firstpossession touchdown.

Others are wary of extending games any further and argue that a team has no legitimate gripe if its defense fails to stop an opponent from getting an opening-drive touchdown in overtime. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

There were complaints at the time. The East Building devotes much of its space to its atrium, with the galleries pushed to the sides. Isn’t that a waste of space?

In 2006, the atrium was filled with 16 grand pianos and a battery of percussion instruments, linked to a computer set to play a 1926 piece by George Antheil called “Le Ballet Mécanique.”

It was a noisy, raucous affair, and when the piece was playing, people emerged from the galleries and listened in wonder to the noise bouncing off every surface of Pei’s giant atrium. It made clear the hidden logic of the National Gallery: All paths lead to Pei’s building, and it never fails to delight when you get there.

The next part of my day would be getting some historical stuff.

In Adams Morgan are some good vintage shops, Mercedes Bien and Meeps. Two things I love are vintage blazers and glasses frames. I would timetravel to the previous locations of Ruff & Ready Furnishings.

I got a whole bunch of old D.C. political pins there. It’s fun to research old stuff, but it’s also fun to have old stuff.

Josh Gibson is the man behind the goofy Council of DC Twitter account, which delivers council updates with ample sides of humor and history. Gibson also hosts a podcast called “Hearing the Council,” in which he interviews council members. One of the benefits of Gibson’s job is that it lets him pursue his passion for local history. For example, he hopes to locate a replica of the Liberty Bell that sat in front of the Wilson Building but vanished during renovations to Pennsylvania Avenue in the early ‘80s. “It’s one of my history quests to find the actual, literal, missing Liberty Bell,” says Gibson, 46, who has spent more than 40 years in the area and has lived in Adams Morgan for the past 20. On his dream day, he’d take a break from representing the city council to hang out at his favorite spots from the past, present and future.

Next, I’d meet up with my wife and my mom and my daughter for dinner. Jack Rose Dining Saloon is opening The Imperial a couple of doors down — it isn’t open yet, so there would be a little future time travel. Both of those spots have a big whisky selection of Scotch and other liquors — aged, vintage, from around the world. It just goes to show you can even drink history.

Being an Adams Morgan guy, one of my favorite breakfast places is an Eritrean place called Keren. They have a really good dish with, like, Ethiopian sourdough bread in silsi, a spicy sauce. It’s just a little hole-in-the-wall place that is super authentic.

We’d end the night with more time travel and a nightcap at Cashion’s Eat Place, which was our favorite bar that closed a few years ago. It was a super comfortable, cozy neighborhood place where they knew our name. We wouldn’t order off a menu — they would just invent a cocktail to our tastes the second we sat down.

In recent months, downtown Silver Spring has become a legitimate craft beer destination. Denizens Brewing planted the seed in 2014, but the October opening of Astro Lab and the recent arrival of Silver Branch have given the neighborhood momentum. The breweries are all within walking distance of each other, so you can experience an afternoon brewery crawl with no designated driver needed. FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Why you’re going: You’re going for the beer, not for the modest taproom, which is sparsely decorated with long tables and a TV. (Music fans may remember this building as the previous home of Joe’s Record Paradise.)

Why you’re going: The brewery (which is opening a second location in Riverdale Park, Md., on Saturday) has the most popular beer garden in Montgomery County: a kid-friendly, dog-friendly space that’s home to beer festivals, birthday parties and lazy days spent hanging out and playing cornhole.

Why you’re going: Silver Branch is a bright and spacious young brewery set in the Silver Spring Metro Plaza, across from the Metro and MARC stations. Climb up a flight of stairs to a paved patio and you’ll find a spacious, airy bar full of picnic-style tables, plus foosball and indoor cornhole sets.

What to drink: Brewer Christian Layke spent eight years at the Gordon Biersch brewpub in Rockville, and he knows his way around many styles of beer. Glass Castle is a note-perfect Czech-style Pilsner with a bready body and a nose of floral hops. There’s also a chocolaty stout, a crisp Belgian wit and an IPA. What to eat: The menu doesn’t go much beyond bar snacks: popcorn fresh from the popper and dusted with Old Bay, a loop of the dried German sausage known as Landjäger, or bags of chips. But they’re perfect when you’re sipping Pilsner in the sun on the patio.

What to drink: Although it was founded by natives of New Zealand (head brewer Matt Cronin) and England (co-owner Emma Whelan), Astro Lab excels at a truly American style of beer: juicy, fruity IPAs. Sure, the brewery makes a Pilsner (with New Zealand hops, of course), lager and saison. But the beers that rate most highly are IPAs and DIPAs. Order 4-ounce taster pours to try them next to one another.

What to eat: In British and Kiwi fashion, the pub snacks are pies — flaky pastries filled with minced ground beef and cheddar, chicken curry, or roasted lamb and veggies — and a sausage roll stuffed with beef and pork. There are also meat-and-cheese plates and, for kids, a “half-pint platter” with crackers, cheese and applesauce.

What to drink: Denizens makes beer for every taste — Pilsners, Belgian tripels, rye IPAs — but sours and wild ales are specialties. The sour ChiChi gets its thirst-quenching grassy funk from aging in tequila barrels. Backyard Boogie saison picks up earthy white wine notes after lying in oak wine barrels. And Homegrown farmhouse saison uses a local yeast to bring out its complex citrus flavors.

What to eat: Denizens mixes pub-grub staples (soft pretzels with ESB beer cheese, Buffalo wings, hand-cut fries) with more adventurous fare (grilled octopus with smoked paprika aioli, crispy Brussels sprouts with blue cheese).

Some enchanted weekend FESTIVALS Over Memorial Day weekend, Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods will become a playground for people with overactive imaginations. As you explore the forest, you’ll come upon all kinds of fantastical creatures — fairies and unicorns, of course, but also a crew of stranded space aliens and a giant sock monster who wants you to tell him a joke.

It’s all part of the first FantasyWood Festival, which is being produced by a trio of organizations: the Inner Arbor Trust, which manages Merriweather Park; the Circus Siren Pod mermaid performance group; and ManneqArt, a Laurel, Md.-based arts nonprofit run by fashion

designer Lee Andersen.

“Our mission is to inspire creativity,” Andersen says. “And the Symphony Woods is such a beautiful environment to grow a fantasy festival, which is something that’s unusual for this area.”

Fantasy festivals — which are like Renaissance fairs minus the historical elements — have been popping up around the country, and the 51-acre Merriweather Park, in Columbia, Md., seemed like a perfect place for one, Andersen says. It was, after all, where the famous Maryland Renaissance Festival debuted in 1977 and lived for eight years before moving to its current home in Crownsville, Md. The Maryland Ren Fest is now the secondlargest event of its kind in the country — proving that folks in the greater D.C. area have vivid imaginations and love dressing up, Andersen says. She hopes the

Unicorns (ponies in costume, actually) will be on hand for you to pet.

On The Quest, you’ll solve puzzles posed by fairies, witches and monsters.

FantasyWood Festival provides just such an opportunity.

“We are really encouraging people to come in costume and as characters of their own invention,” she says.

At the heart of the festival will be The Quest, a competition in which teams of two will journey around the woods looking for opportunities to complete up to 26 missions. One such mission is to join a werewolf pack and learn the beasts’ special howls. Another involves writing a secret message in invisible ink and, later, making it appear by warming the paper in the steamy snores of a 40-foot (mechanical) dragon.

There will also be missions involving fairies and unicorns, but The Quest isn’t all sweetness and light. At a witches’ cottage, you’ll need to find a key to free a little girl (actually a grown man in a tutu) being held captive. You can

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

When George Washington designed Mount Vernon, he strategically placed walls, gardens and rows of trees to keep visitors from encountering the enslaved people who toiled behind the scenes to support his luxurious lifestyle. On two recent visits to the historic plantation, I found that approach is, unfortunately, still alive today. During the mansion tour and in the exhibits, slavery is barely mentioned.

It wasn’t until I ferreted out a special exhibit and paid $10 extra for the “Enslaved People of Mount Vernon” tour — open to a maximum of only 50 people a day — that I got a full picture of what life was like on the estate.

On my first visit to Mount Vernon, I followed the route that most tourists seemed to take, via outdoor pathways to the president’s mansion. Along the way, I perused signs trumpeting Washington’s lesserknown accomplishments — as an architect, an entrepreneur and an experimental farmer.

I’m sure he was a talented guy, but it was all a bit much — especially when we got to an outhouse that was also presented as evidence of his genius.

There was a long line to get into the mansion, so I had plenty of time to admire

Washington’s rolling lawn.

“There’s no way he could have kept it looking this good, in a world before lawn mowers,” I said to a guide. “They did have lawn mowers,” she replied.

“They were called goats.”

On my second trip to Mount Vernon, I got a much more convincing explanation. “This is imported grass from England, and it took the work of many slaves to keep it trimmed and to give it the rolling look of an English country estate,” explained the guide leading the slavery tour. Skilled gardeners cut the grass by hand with a scythe, and rolled the lawn at night to keep it flat, she said.

Seeing George Washington’s beautifully preserved mansion was a highlight of both my trips to Mount Vernon. “It’s all here, Washington’s blueprint for the country,” a tour guide in the front parlor said, after pointing out the decorative pattern of wheat sheaths pressed into the room’s plaster ceiling. Washington believed that America’s future lay not in tobacco, but in becoming the breadbasket for the world, he explained.

On the slavery tour, I got a fuller picture of the motivation behind Washington’s grain obsession. “He begins to understand that tobacco is not sustainable because it depletes the soil, and … when that’s gone, what does the [British]

empire really need from America?” she asked.

Washington moved toward producing a variety of crops and processing them into value-added goods, such as whiskey and flour. These activities required a more skilled workforce, which led him to begin to see enslaved workers as smart, competent human beings, our guide said. And as slaves became more skilled, they gained more leverage to demand better working conditions, she added. “You don’t get better performance out of [skilled tradesman] by terror, by whipping. You get better performance by adding or removing privileges,” she said.

After my tours, I spent a long time wandering the vast grounds and learning about farming, blacksmithing, aquaculture and livestock on Washington’s estate. I’m betting these activities all involved slave labor, yet none of the re-enactors I chatted with mentioned enslaved workers.

I did find my way to a slave

Pro tip: To get the big picture, pay the extra $10 for Mount Vernon’s “Enslaved People” tour. cabin, but there was very little information about the people who might have lived there.

For that, I had to seek out a temporary exhibit in Mount Vernon’s museum and education center, a building that most tourists don’t find till the very end of their long trip.

“Lives Bound Together: Slavery at George Washington’s Mount Vernon” does a wonderful job reconstructing the experiences of people who left little by way of written records — people like Ona Judge, a skilled seamstress who escaped a relatively comfortable life in the Washington household to live as a fugitive in New Hampshire. I had the place to myself because most of my fellow tourists opted to visit a permanent exhibit

called “Discovering the Real George Washington” instead.

In that exhibit, I did find a small section addressing slavery, but more space is devoted to George Washington’s teeth.

It takes pains to dispel the myth that his dentures were made of wood, but fails to mention that they, most likely, contained healthy teeth extracted from the mouths of slaves.

This is just one place where Mount Vernon could integrate the nightmarish reality of slavery into its main exhibits.

Until that happens, many of Mount Vernon’s roughly 1 million annual visitors probably come away with an impression of the estate as a luxurious, bucolic place where our foremost founding father spent his golden years. That’s no doubt true, but it’s also a Southern plantation where hundreds of people lived in servitude and abject poverty, and their stories deserve to be heard, too.

CONTENT FROM MARYLAND’S BEACH AND BEYOND

Meet the tastemakers in Berlin, Md., an inspiring small town just beyond the beach cable local ingredients, and for making a crab cake so good that, when she was working at a restaurant in a different town, someone once broke into their kitchen to steal them.

When Justine Zegna moved to Berlin, Md., she had hardly finished unpacking when her neighbors knocked on her door to introduce themselves. By the time they left, they were all fast friends — one even left behind a gift that said, “Welcome home.”

“He had cooked two crab cakes and eaten them,” says Zegna. “He was cooking four more, and he was preparing to steal the rest.”

“That’s just how it works here,” says Zegna, who is the owner and head chef at Blacksmith, a farm-to-table restaurant in Berlin. “You get along with everyone because that’s just how we do.”

F i v e y e a r s a g o , w h e n Z e g n a wa s deciding where to open up a restaurant, Berlin was the obvious choice. The town’s scenery and atmosphere made it a perfect place to host a business, and being a 15-minute drive from the ocean gave her access to some of the freshest seafood in the world. But it was the people who made her fall in love with Berlin, and it is the people who have made this charming small town one of the most popular destinations on the Maryland coast.

Named the Coolest Small Town in

That particular experience hasn’t been repeated since her move to Berlin— Zegna says the town always feels so safe—but her crab cakes remain criminally good, a symbol of the indescribable feeling that this town engenders in locals and newcomers alike.

America in 2014, Berlin is known for an eclectic mix of artists, craftsmen and small-business owners. Its brick-lined Main Street maintains the atmosphere of a centur y past, while its forwardthinking shops and restaurants redefine what it means to be a small town.

According to Lisa Challenger, director of Worcester County Tourism, the town’s unique sensibility comes from an effort to make its downtown “strip mall-proof” — and irreplaceable.

“You can’t replace downtown Berlin,” she says. “The shops are unique, the retail experience is unique, the dining is unique.”

From the porch of the Atlantic Hotel, which offers electric blankets in winter and personal fans in summer for anyone who wants to relax in its famous rocking chairs, to the Burley Oak Brewery, which Challenger recommends for its excellent selection of IPAs, Berlin is a destination where every block offers something new. A short drive from the beach and from stunning Assateague Island, where wild horses roam the dunes, it is a vacation destination like nowhere else.

And since she moved here, Zegna’s Blacksmith restaurant has become an integral part of that scene. Zegna is known for her thoughtful use of impec-

“You can just feel the energy in this town,” says Andrea Canon, owner of the home furnishings store HOUSE. Like Zegna, Canon is a transplant, a Baltimore native who moved to Berlin after several years of vacationing here.

“We had been visiting Berlin and admiring it for a few years prior to buying a house here,” she says. “We just fell in love with the quaint, small-town vibe.”

Canon and her husband quit their jobs in corporate America to chase their passion for home decor, and she’s found herself a natural fit in a place where artists and small-business owners work side by side. After six years, she has a friend in every shop and on every corner.

“You can’t walk down the street without running into somebody,” she says. “People love to stop and have a conversation.”

Independent book publisher Stephanie Fowler, owner of Salt Water Media, discovered that sense of camaraderie on the first day her business opened, when Robin Tomaselli, proprietor of Baked Desser t Cafe and Galler y, welcomed her to the neighborhood with a platter of cupcakes.

“You know,” Fowler says Tomaselli told her, “what’s good for you is good for me, and what’s good for me is good for you.”

It took Fowler some time to understand that, she says, but now she realizes that in a town this tight-knit, it’s up to every business owner to work their hardest to make sure that customers and tourists

come back again and again. That same can-do spirit is prevalent among the town’s artists and craftsmen, who have made Berlin a haven of creativity.

“I think the artists feel a sense of community,” says Challenger. “Fellow artists help each other out and cross-promote each other.”

That attitude is on display in December, when all of the town’s artists open their studios to visitors, as well as during the regular festivals for which Berlin turns Main Street into an open-air gallery and mall, such as May 10’s Reggae Play Day. Glassblower Jeff Auxer appreciates that community spirit, and he says he takes inspiration from Berlin’s one-of-akind charm—particularly when it comes to food.

“It’s not gonna be your plain-Jane food,” he says. “Everything is well thought-out, and the menus are changing all the time.”

Part of that is thanks to chefs like Zegna, of course, and their constant efforts to innovate and improve upon their menus.

Part of that is the ceaseless efforts by

business people and other locals to make sure that there’s always something new to do in Berlin. But some of it might be due to the town itself—15 minutes from wild horses and the beach, with a classic sense of style that never grows old, Berlin is just a special place.

Or, as Andrea Canon puts it, “It’s just the cutest little town.”

Let them write your summer reading list Forgetting to bring a good book to the beach is right up there with riptides and rainstorms — all of a sudden, things go from beachin’ to boring. Our favorite local authors, aghast at the idea of such a fate, stepped up to share the beach reads they plan to luxuriate over this summer. Grab one or a few of their suggested titles, and then hit that toasty sand. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Brian Jay Jones Probably predictably, Jones says, his reading pile is heavy on nonfiction — and the book sitting on top is Robert A. Caro’s “Working,” a behind-the-scenes look at researching and writing biographies. It’s an appropriate pick for Jones, a Stafford County-based biographer whose “Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination” was released this month. Jones also plans to devour David McCullough’s “The Pioneers,” about the settling of the Northwest Territory, followed by a guilty-pleasure read: “Howard Stern Comes Again,” a collection of some of the (reformed?) shock jock’s most memorable interviews. So if you hear someone shouting, “Baba Booey!” on the beach, well, you might have located Jones.

Katherine Heiny Bethesda-based Heiny loves “Gone With the Wind” so much that her oldest child’s middle name is Mitchell — a nod to author Margaret Mitchell. Heiny used to read the 1930s novel every summer, “but now I try to limit myself to every three years so it doesn’t get stale.” Though it hasn’t been that long, Heiny — whose debut novel, the social satire “Standard Deviation,” was published in 2017 — is considering taking “Wind” to the beach anyway. Another favorite she enjoys pulling out in the summer is “The Silence of the Lambs.” When she recently told someone she was rereading it for comfort, “she told me I sounded like a budding serial killer. But Thomas Harris’ novel is so smart, so elegant — I return to it time and again.”

Julie Langsdorf Langsdorf will be summer lovin’ — that is, returning to authors she loves this summer. She’s counting the days until the June release of Jean Kwok’s “Searching for Sylvie Lee” — she recently read, and adored, Kwok’s debut novel, “Girl in Translation.” And while she’s a serious Kate Atkinson fan, Langsdorf has yet to read “Behind the Scenes at the Museum,” a 1995 Atkinson book she found a copy of at her local Little Free Library and will turn to this summer.

Langsdorf, who lives in Adams Morgan, is the author of “White Elephant,” a witty look at the fallout when a beloved red maple tree is cut down in a suburban town. Other high-priority titles on her summer reading list: Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” (she recently enjoyed the novelist’s “Daisy Jones & The Six”) and Susan Choi’s “Trust Exercise,” which has been compared to another of Langsdorf’s favorites: “The Interestings” by Meg Wolitzer.

weekendpass Kwame Alexander A few summers ago, during a writing fellowship in Tuscany, Alexander read Percival Everett’s “I Am Not Sidney Poitier.” “I laughed so hard and so often that some of the other writers complained” — and then also bought Everett’s comic novel, Alexander recalls. He’s participating in another fellowship this summer, so he’ll read the book again. Alexander — the Herndon-based author of more than two dozen books, including “Solo” and “Rebound” — is known for his efforts to empower young readers and promote literacy. His imprint, Versify, for example, aims to publish books that will help kids strive for a better world.

During a weeklong vacation in Folly Beach, S.C., Alexander will split his time reading manuscripts for Versify and works by the Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.

Abby Maslin Maslin is an elementary school teacher in the District, which means that summer promises long days ripe for reading. First on her list is “On Being Human,” a new memoir by fellow yogi Jennifer Pastiloff. Maslin’s debut memoir, “Love You Hard,” was published in March; in it, she describes what happened after her husband was attacked near Eastern Market, left with a traumatic brain injury that initially rendered him unable to speak or walk. In her first summer since becoming a published author, Maslin will get her YA fix via “With the Fire on High,” local author Elizabeth Acevedo’s latest, and aims to finally read “The Brothers Karamazov” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. She’s also eyeing “City of Girls,” the new novel by “Eat Pray Love” author Elizabeth Gilbert that comes out on June 4.

Louis Bayard Capitol Hill resident Bayard — author of the historical novels “Courting Mr. Lincoln” and “Lucky Strikes” — is, like Brian Jay Jones, impatiently awaiting the final installment of Robert A. Caro’s series on President Lyndon B. Johnson, so he plans to tide himself over with “Working.” He’s also looking forward to Colson Whitehead’s “The Nickel Boys,” a novel set in Jim Crow-era Florida that will hit shelves on July 16. “But really,” he says, “I’ll be spending the whole summer praying for an advance copy of ”The Testaments,” Margaret Atwood’s long-overdue sequel to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ ” The book’s release date is Sept. 10, so if Bayard doesn’t get an early copy, the students in his fiction-writing classes at George Washington University might not see him for a day or two.

Powers, whose novel “First Cosmic Velocity” will be published in August, jokes that he’s particularly qualified to make beach-reading suggestions: He grew up in a beach town — Georgia’s Tybee Island — which means he long ago reached elite reading-while-lounging status.

These days, he lives in Arlington and teaches writing at Northern Virginia Community College. He’s a short-story connoisseur; his debut story collection, “Gravity Changes,” was published in 2017 and won the BOA Short Fiction Prize. This summer, he’s looking forward to the short fiction collection “Orange World and Other Stories” by Karen Russell, whose work he could read over and over: “the conjured prose, the folkloric storytelling, the super-weird conceits.” Also on the list: the debut novels “Mostly Dead Things” by Kristen Arnett (“Just look at the cover.

Flamingo!”) and “A Particular Kind of Black Man” by fellow D.C.-based author Tope Folarin.

Comedy legends The Second City return to the Kennedy Center with an all-new, all-hilarious show that reaches way, way across the aisle for non-stop equal opportunity laughs.

Books in Bloom

National Book Festival

Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Pkwy., Columbia, Md.; June 2, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., free.

Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Mount Vernon Place NW; Aug. 31, 8:30 a.m.-8 p.m., free.

Dozens of popular authors are the rock stars at this third annual event, a mashup of readings and panel discussions, live music and a rosé garden. Highlights include talks on graphic memoirs and POC voices, black feminism today and the birth and rise of hip-hop; another session will feature top chefs sharing their stories. Participants include local author Nicole Chung (“All You Can Ever Know”), Abby Maslin, Angie Kim (“Miracle Creek”) and Bob Yule (“Spirits, Sugar, Water, Bitters: How the Cocktail Conquered the World”).

The annual literary extravaganza — a who’s who of the book world — returns in August, promising dozens of talks by popular authors, poets and historians. Featured speakers at this year’s event include U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, novelists Barbara Kingsolver and Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times columnist David Brooks and graphic novelist Raina Telgemeier. Start planning for the always-overwhelming festival now.

DC Writers’ Homes Lecture

Holiday Inn Rosslyn, 1900 N. Fort Myer Drive, Arlington; Sept. 27, 4-8 p.m., Sept. 28, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., $5-$15.

Brooks Mansion, 901 Newton St. NE; July 20, 10-11:15 a.m., free.

The District has a rich literary history: Hundreds of novelists, poets, playwrights and memoirists lived in the city at some point in their lives. This talk, presented

by Kim Roberts and Dan Vera — co-curators of the DC Writers’ Homes project — will highlight nine of those authors, including Betty Friedan, Sinclair Lewis and Gil ScottHeron. Expect to learn about the writers’ lives, work and connection to D.C.’s architecture.

Washington Antiquarian Book Fair

Have a thing for old books? Peruse thousands of rare first editions, maps, manuscripts, drawings and more at this 44th annual festival, which offers a variety of price points (a couple of years ago, a signed copy of “To Kill a Mockingbird” had a $85,000 price tag). Programming for this year’s event has yet to be announced, but there are typically workshops, lectures and games to complement the browsing.

The Midnite BBQ The Midnite BBQ levels up the usual Memorial Day weekend cookout. This year’s party offers live music (go-go legends Backyard Band and English electronic music duo AlunaGeorge), food (catered

by DCity Smokehouse, Ivy City Smokehouse and more), panel talks and other activities. Gateway

HELEN ZUGHAIB

DC, 2700 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE; Sat., 5 p.m.-1 a.m., $45-$65 (VIP: $125).

OPENS THURSDAY

‘Helen Zughaib: Migrations’ Woodrow Wilson House, 2340 S St. NW; Thu. through July 28, $10.

D.C.-based Arab American artist Helen Zughaib’s “Syrian Migration Series” explores the mass exodus of refugees from Syria’s civil war in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, using her bold, colorful style to portray their plight. The gouache and ink pieces reference Jacob Lawrence’s “Migration Series,” which depicted the Great Migration of African Americans to the North in the early 20th century. The exhibit coincides with the centenary of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, where Western nations drew the problematic borders of the modern Middle East.

Thu. PARTIES

Sound Health: Daybreaker ‘Bloom and Bass’ Daybreaker boasts all the bells and whistles of a dance party — it just starts around sunrise. The outdoor event features kombucha and breakfast bites plus live music from local acts Haile Supreme, Luna Maye and Kennedy Center composer-inresidence Mason Bates. Partygoers are encouraged to wear florals and green, the official color of Mental Health Awareness Month. Come an hour earlier for a yoga session.

Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Thu., 7-9 a.m., $20 ($35 for 6 a.m. entry with yoga session).

WEDNESDAY

Youssou Ndour Music Center at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda, Md.; Wed., 8 p.m., $38-$87.

Singer and percussionist Youssou Ndour doesn’t just embrace his home country of Senegal — he actively champions it. A former minister of tourism for the African nation, he boasts an impressive track record in social activism that rivals his musical one. Ndour has found success outside of his homeland through his nuanced approach to African music, fusing hiphop, jazz, soul and more for his distinct, eclectic sound.

Mon. STAGE

‘Describe the Night’ What’s real and what’s not? In “Describe the Night,” a play from Pulitzer Prize finalist Rajiv Joseph, it’s hard to tell. The plot takes place over the course of 90 years and follows three stories about Russia that blend real life with fiction.

Woolly Mammoth Theatre, 641 D St. NW; Mon. through June 23, $20-$81.50.

Tue. DANCE

‘Ballet Across America’ with Dance Theatre of Harlem “Dougla” is a term, commonly used in Trinidad, for a person of mixed African and South Asian descent.

It’s also the name of an exuberant ballet that shows the wedding of a couple with one partner of each background. The piece, which borrows moves from both traditions and features a score of live African drumming, closes out a night of performances from Dance Theatre of Harlem. Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Tue. through May 30, 7:30 p.m., $29-$119.

What’s after ‘Endgame’?

Popcorn movie season officially kicked into high gear last month with the release of the box office juggernaut “Avengers: Endgame.”

As Memorial Day weekend looms, what are the other films to watch out for during the hot summer months? Read on for recommen-

This remake about a ragamuffin (Massoud) in love with a sultan’s daughter (Scott) is directed by Guy Ritchie, who has already proved, in adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes canon and Arthurian legend, that he has a sometimes unhealthy disregard for source material. But if Disney’s boldly revisionist “Dumbo” is any indication, fresh thinking might not be a bad thing.

‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ Opening: July 2 Starring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Samuel L. Jackson, Jake Gyllenhaal Spider-Man is back in theaters, just two months after the release of “Avengers: Endgame,” and his movie comes with a real mystery: Is Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio a bad guy or a good guy? A villain in the comics, the character is said to join forces with Spidey in the fight against “elemental” entities representing Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

Opening: June 21 Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Tony Hale

The fourth film in the franchise about alien-hunting secret agents will be lucky if it can replicate the witty repartee between Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith — the partnership that carried the first three films. Here, the jaded veteran is played by Hemsworth, and the fresh face is Thompson, a trainee with a hidden history with the Men in Black.

Cowboy Woody (voice of Hanks) and his toy-box pals take a road trip with Bonnie, the little girl who inherited a carton of secondhand playthings at the end of “Toy Story 3.” But while traveling with her family, Bonnie’s new favorite “toy” — a reluctant craft project named Forky (Hale) — runs away. This leads Woody, ever the champion of children and their tchotchkes, to go after him.

SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

Everything old is new again. Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, the studios behind Gareth Edwards’ 2014 resuscitation of the seemingly undying Japanese creature feature, have teamed up for a sequel. In “King of Monsters,” the titular kaiju (literally, strange creature) faces off against monsters Mothra, Rodan and the three-headed King Ghidorah.

‘Toy Story 4’

Opening: June 14 Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Liam Neeson

‘The Lion King’ Opening: July 19 Starring: Donald Glover, Beyoncé, Chiwetel Ejiofor, James Earl Jones There are no human beings in this remake of Disney’s 1994 animated classic — just a bunch of CGI animals. So it’s a bit strange that people, even Disney executives, are referring to the CGI film as “liveaction.” Well, call it what you like. A better question is whether the story will live up to the charm of the first film, the highest-grossing handdrawn animation film of all time.

Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” adds Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh

‘Once Upon a Time in …

Hollywood’ Opening: July 26 Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Kurt Russell Rumored to be Quentin Tarantino’s penultimate film, this story, set in 1969 L.A., focuses on a cowboy actor (DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Pitt). The film weaves together multiple threads, including the Charles Manson murders and subplots involving movie stars Bruce Lee (Mike Moh) and Steve McQueen (Damian Lewis).

‘Hobbs & Shaw’ Opening: Aug. 2 Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, Idris Elba This ninth “Fast & Furious” film is not a sequel but a spinoff, built on the sturdy backs of two of the series’ recurring characters: Johnson’s lawman Luke Hobbs and Statham’s outlaw Deckard Shaw. The unlikely allies partner with an MI6 agent (Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister, when a genetically enhanced anarchist (Elba) threatens — wait for it — the fate of the world.

“Orange Is the New Black” returns July 26 on Netflix

Hannibal Lecter creator’s latest is lacking bite BOOK REVIEW Gourmand serial killer Hannibal Lecter may be off the menu, but now his creator, Thomas Harris, has added a new dish of terror.

“Cari Mora,” which came out last week, is Harris’ first novel since “Hannibal Rising” appeared 13 years ago. Fans of his earlier books will taste familiar ingredients in “Cari Mora.” But the whole thing would definitely go better with some fava beans.

The story opens in Florida at a mansion once owned by Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. The home now sits unused, and only one person has the nerve to work as a caretaker of this old house of horrors: an immigrant named Cari Mora, who can make a mean rat soup, dispatch a muscled thug and touch up her makeup on the fly.

Aside from passing tourists, the only people still interested in the building are a bunch of dopey gangsters who suspect a safe in the basement holds a thousand pounds of gold. While the novel plods along with a hodgepodge of macabre silliness, the real terror is supposed to be a German named Hans-Peter Schneider, who is determined to get the gold and Cari.

Despite all its ghastly goingson, this creaky thriller constantly slips on banana peels of its own unintentional comedy. Every so often, there’s a passage of lavish, gothic prose. But the novel leaves the reader hungry for much more of that real stylistic richness. RON CHARLES (TWP)

trending “I, too, would stress-eat cookies after being publicly exposed for not knowing the basic ins and outs of my job.” @BELLWAK, tweeting about Ben Carson sending Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif.,

a pack of Oreo cookies after their interaction at a congressional hearing Tuesday. After Porter asked if he knew what an REO — which stands for “real estate owned” and refers to property owned by a bank or lender after foreclosure — was, Carson replied, “An Oreo?” Twitter users and others found Carson’s lack of familiarity with the term disturbing, since he leads the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Over the weekend, comedian and actor Ashley Nicole Black wondered on Twitter if the wonky presidential candidate had “a plan to fix my love life.” Warren replied, telling Black to send her a message. On Tuesday, Black tweeted that she’d just gotten off the phone with Warren, and that she had a “very comprehensive” plan “to get my mom grandkids.” Warren’s campaign confirmed the call took place.

New York Times’ article on the Australian trend of a shoey — drinking from an alcohol-filled shoe.

The Times traced its origins to the ’90s, but noted it reappeared in 2016 with Formula One racer Daniel Ricciardo, above. In recent weeks, Kacey Musgraves refused to do a shoey at a Sydney show, then complied the following night.

“I’m not going to ask if you’ve ever seen something so beautiful, because I know you haven’t.” @LUCYCANTSURF, tweeting about

Seth Rogen’s GQ photoshoot. The images caused shock for some Twitter users who hadn’t previously found the actor attractive, but were no surprise to longtime Rogen fans.

Others were just amused by the sight of Rogen’s Gucci ashtray.
