After Spencer’s family saw the musical in Chicago, his dad suggested that Spencer write a kids’ book about Hamilton. The Arlington 9-year-old thought it was “a pretty cool idea.” The result is “District of Hamilton,” a colorful, 50-page guide co-authored with Spencer’s buddy Alden Humphrey, 8. The book is available now as the musical begins its three-month run at the Kennedy Center on June 12. “District of Hamilton” isn’t limited to his life, or even the District of Columbia.

Trying to stay calm, Goff pulled over, jumped out of the SUV and dialed 911. A man from animal control responded, but he couldn’t find the snake when he tried to catch it. So Goff drove her car — with the snake in it — back to her office and later drove it home from work.

What if an intruder enters a D.C. school?

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY

White House contractor arrested as a fugitive

Almost half of buildings have classrooms that don’t lock, official says

In the District, spring gets shortchanged

THINKSTOCK

THE DISTRICT When a lockdown happens in the District’s public schools, teachers and administrators are supposed to “close and secure (lock, if possible)” classroom doors and windows. But in a substantial number of the city’s public and charter schools, locking classroom doors is not possible. The locks don’t work or don’t exist. At a budget hearing last month before the D.C. Council’s Education Committee, Michael Gaal, the school system’s deputy chancellor in charge of systemic improvement, told council members that more than 50 of the District’s 115 schools have classroom doors that can’t be locked. And despite repeated requests by some schools to have working locks installed in their classrooms, the city’s Department of General Services has not made those fixes. Gaal told the committee the work would cost $15 million. Questions about school security have been heightened following school shootings this year, most notably at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February, where a shooter took the lives of 17 students and staff members, and last month’s shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, where eight students

MISSING SEASON

More than 50 of the District’s 115 schools have classrooms doors that can’t be locked, raising concerns about safety preparedness.

and two teachers were killed. Following these attacks, school districts have been re-examining security procedures to make their buildings less susceptible to intrusions. For some districts, that has meant locking all classroom doors while school is in session. In Washington, where teachers and parents have long complained about the lack of locks, the shootings made addressing the issue more urgent. Since Jan. 1, there have been 20 lockdowns in the District’s public and public charter schools, according to D.C. police. The lockdowns have been for a range of events including bomb scares, shootings near schools and false alarms. There has not been a shooting inside a D.C. school this year. “It has definitely become a big

concern for some of the folks in our community,” said Markus Batchelor, a representative on the D.C. State Board of Education. The inability to lock classrooms exists in schools in all quadrants of the city, including recently renovated schools. At a renovated elementary school in Northwest, the head of the PTA says more than 50 rooms can’t be locked. The school system says it is coordinating with the Department of General Services to gather information on how many classrooms can’t be properly locked. The analysis “will be complete later this spring, and we will have a more informed sense of costs and a timeline for moving forward,” school system spokesman Shayne Wells said. JOE HEIM (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Finally, D.C. is enjoying a few beautiful spring days, with highs in the 70s, low humidity and no threat of rain. Until this week, such days had been scarce. Spring was essentially skipped this year. March and April, both of which were colder than normal, felt more like winter. Then we had our third-warmest and sixth-wettest May on record, which felt more like summer. Since 2000, D.C. has averaged 25 days per spring with highs in the 70s from March to early June. This year, we’ve seen 17, which ranks second-fewest. In other words, we’ve missed more than a week of days in the 70s. Of D.C.’s 17 days in the 70s so far this spring, it has rained on five, reducing the count of truly nice days to 12. But it gets worse: Only three of those 12 nice days have coincided with the weekend. (TWP)

Police in Virginia said they arrested a soldier for taking a personnel carrier.

Armored vehicle stolen off Va. base RICHMOND A soldier accused of stealing an armored personnel carrier from a National Guard base and leading police on a more than 60-mile chase was driving under the influence of drugs, Virginia State Police said Wednesday. Joshua Philip Yabut, 29, of Richmond, was charged with eluding police and unauthorized use of a vehicle, the Virginia National Guard said in a news release. The vehicle, which drives on tracks like a tank, was stolen Tuesday evening from Fort Pickett in Blackstone. Police chased it for about two hours at speeds as high as 40 mph before the driver surrendered near Richmond City Hall, state police said. The Guard said the personnel carrier was stolen during routine training at Fort Pickett and has been returned to the base in Blackstone. The vehicle wasn’t

equipped with any weapons, but Yabut had his personal weapon with him without ammunition, the Guard said. Police said the investigation is ongoing and declined to comment on a motive for stealing the vehicle, but said Yabut was under the influence of drugs when arrested. He seemed to foreshadow the theft and chase in Twitter posts Tuesday. Hours before the vehicle drove off the base, an account confirmed by the Guard as Yabut’s tweeted a Wikipedia entry about the M113 armored personnel carrier, which is similar to the M577 vehicle police chased, and a screenshot of a map around the area where the vehicle eventually stopped. Minutes after police began their pursuit shortly before 8 p.m., Yabut posted a photo and video of himself in what appears to be the stolen vehicle. DENISE LAVOIE (AP)

We Are Committed to Recycling

TRANSPORTATION Metro has secured a permit to install a temporary cooling tower outside Farragut North station, resolving a dispute over the placement of the noisy contraption and ensuring that chilled air will flow to two Red Line stations by next week, the agency said Tuesday. Agency officials said they’ve found a permanent solution for the problem they’ve been trying to fix for over three years. Metro stations don’t have conventional air conditioning, but there is a mechanical air-cooling system that can make the stations about 6 degrees cooler than the air outside. Farragut North and Dupont Circle stations have not had a reliable chiller for more than three years, when a set of 500foot pipes under Connecticut Avenue sprang leaks and prevented water from flowing to a cooling tower 13 stories above.

Metro installed a temporary cooling tower on the thoroughfare last year, providing relief to the stations’ estimated 39,000 daily users. But the dumpstersize machine was so disruptive that local businesses petitioned to have it moved, delaying the tower’s installation this year as Metro worked to secure permits.

Ryan: ‘No evidence’ that the FBI spied on Trump

TO YOUR HEALTH

Moderate drinkers take fewer sick days

POLITICS House Speaker Paul D. Ryan has joined those disputing President Trump’s assertion that federal law enforcement planted a spy inside his campaign, telling reporters Wednesday that he has seen “no evidence” to support such claims. Ryan, R-Wis., described as “accurate” an initial assessment offered by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, who told Fox News last week that “the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do” in investigating information alleging Trump campaign advisers had suspicious ties to Russia. “I think Chairman Gowdy’s initial assessment is accurate,” Ryan said, adding that “we have some more digging to do.” Ryan continued: “But I have seen no evidence to the contrary of the initial assessment that Chairman Gowdy has made. But I want to make sure that we run every lead down and make sure we get final answers to these questions.” Trump branded the controversy “Spygate” after one of his top allies in Congress, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, RCalif., demanded a briefing last month from top FBI and Justice

House Speaker Paul Ryan broke with President Trump on Wednesday, rejecting Trump’s assertion that the FBI spied on his 2016 campaign.

Department officials about a confidential source, Stefan A. Halper, who made contact with members of Trump’s campaign. Trump and Nunes have attacked both agencies over their handling of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. After much squabbling, the intelligence panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Adam B. Schiff, Calif., also attended the briefing about Halper. The Gang of Eight — which includes the top Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate and on the Intelligence committees — was given the same briefing later that afternoon. Ryan and Gowdy attended the first briefing with

Nunes and Schiff. Following Ryan’s comments Wednesday, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., told CNN that he also endorses Gowdy’s take on the evidence: “I think that Trey Gowdy’s description of the process was correct,” Burr said. Ryan also shot a careful retort at Trump’s assertion this week that, as president, he is entitled to pardon himself should special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe unearth evidence of crimes. “I don’t know the technical answer to that question,” said Ryan. “But I think obviously the answer is, he shouldn’t and no one is above the law.” KAROUN DEMIRJIAN

A new study has found a correlation between drinking and taking sick days from work — but not what might be expected. Published in the journal Addiction, it found that heavy drinkers and nondrinkers are more likely to use sick days than moderate drinkers, ABC News reports. Researchers surveyed about 47,500 people in France, Finland and the U.K., and looked at employer registries to corroborate sick days. Women who drank moderately had between one and 11 servings a week and men classified as moderate drinkers had one to 34 servings, based on European and U.K. sizes. (EXPRESS)

ACLU sues over plans to ask about citizenship on census

Israel was in an uproar Wednesday over Argentina’s abrupt cancellation of a World Cup warmup match following pro-Palestinian protests.

But after a fierce Palestinian campaign, which included images of Argentina’s striped jersey stained with red paint and threats to burn Messi posters, Argentina’s football federation announced it was skipping the event.

President Trump is fighting a bipartisan plan to fund the muchtouted expansion of veterans health care he signed into law Wednesday; the White House opposes an increase in federal spending to pay for it. The VA Mission Act authorizes initiatives aimed at expanding veterans’ access to private health care, but does not reserve federal money to fund it. A bipartisan group in the Senate aims to remedy that by advancing a separate measure for the new $50 billion law. But the White House has been lobbying to pay for veterans programs by cutting spending elsewhere.

Civil rights lawyers sued the U.S. Commerce Department on Wednesday to try to stop plans to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, calling it an unconstitutional attempt to discriminate against immigrants. The lawsuit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and others, blames racial animus for the recent announcement that the census will include a citizenship question for the first time since 1950. The lawsuit alleges that the question was added with the intent to diminish the political power and influence of Latinos, Asian-Americans, Arab-Americans and immigrant communities of color. (AP)

May smashes long-standing U.S. heat record DONALD TRUMP VIA TWITTER

WASHINGTON President Trump on Wednesday commuted the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a woman serving a life term for a nonviolent crime, after meeting with reality television star Kim Kardashian West last week to discuss the case. The action was the latest in a recent string of pardons and other acts of clemency from Trump, and aides haves suggested that more could soon be on the way. Johnson, 63, was convicted in Tennessee in 1996 and sentenced to life in prison on federal drug possession and money laundering charges. She was denied clemency by the Obama administration in January 2017 in one of the administration’s last batches of clemency denials. In a statement Wednesday, the White House noted that Johnson is a great-grandmother who had served almost 22 years for a first-time offense. “Ms. Johnson has accepted responsibility for her past behavior and has been a model prisoner over the past two decades,” the White House said. “While this Administration will always be very tough on crime, it believes

that those who have paid their debt to society and worked hard to better themselves while in prison deserve a second chance.” Kardashian West welcomed Trump’s action on Twitter, writing: “BEST NEWS EVER!!!!” Trump’s acts of clemency have been scattershot, driven by television segments and the urging of celebrities, friends and White House advisers. Among those cleared have been controversial former sheriff Joe Arpaio, conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza and Lewis “Scooter” Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.

WEATHER Record heat returned to the U.S. with a vengeance in May. May warmed to a record average 65.4 degrees in the Lower 48 states, breaking the high of 64.7 set in 1934, according to federal weather figures released Wednesday. May was 5.2 degrees above the 20th century’s average for the month. Weather stations broke or tied nearly 8,600 daily heat records in May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported. The temperature hit 100 in Minneapolis on May 28, the earliest the city has seen triple digits. “The warmth was coast-tocoast,” said climate scientist Jake Crouch at NOAA’s Centers for Environmental Information. It was especially warm at night in the U.S. during May. The overnight low temperature averaged 52.5 degrees nationwide. That broke the record by 2 degrees, which “is unheard of” at this time of year, Crouch said. Partly to blame, he said, is the overall warming trend from manmade climate change. “Nature is dealing cards from a very different deck now compared to the 20th century,” Pennsylvania State University climate scientist David Titley said in an email. U.S. temperature reports go back to 1895. With the new May record, six of the U.S. monthly record highs have been set since 2006. SETH BORENSTEIN (AP)

WASHINGTONPOST.COM | THE FIX

Primary winners and losers

Tuesday was one of the biggest primary nights of the year — a pivotal moment for Democrats trying to nominate the right candidates to retake the majority in the House of Representatives. Here are the winners and losers from eight states that had primaries. AMBER PHILLIPS

WINNERS

LOSERS

California Democrats

Sen. Dianne Feinstein

Sen. Robert Menendez

Republican turnout

With results mostly in, it appears Democrats avoided a disaster by finishing second in three Orange County-area House races that are critical for their path to taking back the House. Democrats risked falling victim to their own base’s enthusiasm by dividing the vote among too many candidates. In California’s primary system, the top two vote-getters move on to the general election regardless of party.

The well-known Democratic senator faced a primary challenger from the left, state Senate President Kevin de Leon, after she urged patience with Trump. But Feinstein pivoted to the left, pitching herself as a leader of the Trump resistance and switching her position on issues ranging from the death penalty to marijuana legalization without taking much heat from the base. She ended up winning Tuesday by a wide margin.

Some of New Jersey’s best-known Democrats could not persuade voters there to enthusiastically renominate Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, who survived a corruption trial last year after the jury deadlocked. Menendez, who has proclaimed his innocence, still won his primary, but a low-profile Democratic challenger who did not even file the correct paperwork won nearly 40 percent of the vote.

Senate Republicans

Women running for governor

Anti-Trump Republicans

In Montana, Republicans nominated their strongest candidate — State Auditor Matt Rosendale — over three others to try to unseat wellknown Democrat Sen. Jon Tester this fall. Tester could be one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats running for re-election in a state that Trump won in 2016.

Republican voters in South Dakota, Alabama and Iowa and Democratic voters in New Mexico all nominated women to lead their state next year — and they all have a solid chance of winning. With South Dakota being fairly Republican, GOP Rep. Kristi L. Noem has a good chance to be the first woman to lead the state.

Rep. Martha Roby, R, was forced into a runoff Tuesday with a former Democrat (former congressman Bobby Bright) in her conservative southeastern Alabama district. Operatives say it was because she said she wouldn’t vote for Trump after the “Access Hollywood” tape was released nearly two years ago.

While they might be vulnerable to losing seats in California, Republicans expected to have the upper hand this November in a handful of House races in New Jersey and one in New Mexico. But it was Democrats who came out Tuesday in a position of strength in many of those battles. Republicans picked two little-known, barely funded Republican candidates for an open seat in New Jersey and a Democratic-held one they would like to flip. In two other GOP-held New Jersey districts, Democrats got a couple thousand more voters to turn out over Republicans. In an open border district in New Mexico, which Democrats think they have their best chance in a decade to flip, nearly 10,000 more voters showed up for the Democratic nominee, Xochitl Torres Small, than for the Republican nominee, Yvette Herrell.

New Polish museum celebrates vodka

Polish vodka has been drunk by kings and peasants, used as medicine and given as a bribe to Nazi forces in World War II. Now a museum is opening in Warsaw devoted to the 500-year history of the Polish national alcoholic beverage. The Polish Vodka Museum will open to the public Tuesday in a former 19th-century factory. The museum will be adults-only and includes a display on responsible drinking. (AP)

Judge recalled after Stanford sex assault case CALIFORNIA The beginning of the end for the first California judge recalled since 1932 began almost exactly two years ago, when Santa Clara County Judge Aaron Persky sentenced a former Stanford swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman to just six months in jail instead of a long prison term. A statement from the victim captured the national spotlight. “You took away my worth, my privacy, my energy, my time, my intimacy, my confidence, my own voice, until today,” she said in a statement read in court before the June 2016 sentencing of Brock Turner. Within days, Michele Dauber, a Stanford law professor, launched a campaign to recall the judge. On Tuesday, Santa Clara County voters agreed and recalled him from office after his nearly 15-year career on the bench. “The broader message of this victory is that violence against women is now a voting issue,” said Dauber. She said the local vote will resonate nationally and underscores the staying power of the #MeToo movement. Persky declined to comment. But he has previously said that he was adopting the probation department’s recommendation to spare Turner prison for several reasons, including Turner’s age, clean criminal record and the fact that both Turner and the victim were intoxicated. The sentencing was deemed legal. PAUL ELIAS (AP)

SOCCER Former midfielder Earnie Stewart was hired Wednesday as general manager of the U.S. men’s national soccer team, likely delaying the search for a new coach. Stewart has been sporting director of the Philadelphia Union in the MLS since October 2015 and will start his new job Aug. 1, the U.S. Soccer Federation said Wednesday. Stewart does not plan to attend the World Cup, a shopping center for federations and clubs seeking coaches. Bruce Arena quit as coach after a loss at Trinidad and Tobago

last October ended the Americans’ streak of consecutive World Cup berths at seven. Dave Sarachan, Arena’s top assistant, is the team’s interim coach. After Saturday’s exhibition at France, the U.S. is off until September, when it likely will play a friendly against Brazil on Sept. 7 followed by an already-announced game against Mexico four days later. “Making the right choice is the most important thing,” Stewart said Wednesday in a conference call. “It’s process over speed.” After the World Cup failure, Carlos Cordeiro succeeded Sunil Gulati as USSF president in February, and the USSF board created GM positions for the men’s and women’s national teams. Stewart will recommend a coach

to Cordeiro and USSF chief executive Dan Flynn. The choice must be ratified by the board. Stewart is the Dutch-born son of a U.S. Air Force airman. His

mother is from the Netherlands. He is the first person with the GM title since Bill Nuttall from Aug. 15, 1991, to Aug. 15, 1994. Nuttall handled many of the team’s administrative tasks in the run-up to the 1994 World Cup. Stewart scored 17 goals in 101 matches for the U.S. men’s team from 1990-2004. He played at the 1994, 1998 and 2002 World Cups. He also spent two years with D.C. United, helping the club win the 2004 MLS Cup. He worked in the Dutch league as NAC Breda’s technical director and AZ Alkmaar’s director of football affairs before moving to the Philadelphia Union. Flynn said the search for a GM of the women’s team will start by mid-July. RONALD BLUM (AP)

Halep defeats Kerber, faces Muguruza in semis Top-seeded Simona Halep rallied to defeat No. 12 seed Angelique Kerber 6-7 (2), 6-3, 6-2 on Wednesday in Paris to reach the French Open semifinals for the third time. “It was really about the mental,” Halep said. “So I think that’s why I won today. My head won it.” Halep is still chasing her first Grand Slam title. A two-time French Open runner-up, Halep led Jelena Ostapenko by a set and 3-0 before falling apart in last year’s final. Halep next faces 2016 French Open champion Garbine Muguruza, who beat Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-1. (AP)

Washington scored five runs in the first inning and collected 15 hits. Rendon went 4 for 5 with two doubles and three RBIs.

KenCen expands its reach The performing arts center previews its massive new space ARTS The Kennedy Center’s expansion project will open Sept. 7, 2019 — more than two years late and $100 million over its original cost. Arts center officials offered the first glimpse of the building Tuesday at a hard-hat tour for commu nit y members. Under construction on 4.6 acres south of the original facility, the building will encourage interaction between artists and

audiences with glass-walled classrooms and studios, Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter says. “There is no backstage space,” Rutter says. “It’s, ‘We’re all in this together.’ ” Called The Reach, a name meant to inspire connection and to evoke President John F. Kennedy’s aspirational leadership, the building is mostly underground but marked by three white concrete pavilions that dot the hill that slopes away from Edward Durell Stone’s 1971 building. Two levels of studios, rehearsal rooms and lobby spaces can be used for

multiple purposes, including intimate performances, exhibitions, master classes and parties, Rutter says. An arts camp is expected to launch in the summer of 2020. Architect Steven Holl says the landscape has been shaped around the building to increase natural light and to provide views of the Potomac River and other landmarks. “These are Kennedy-like dimensions,” he says. “Unlike the Lincoln or the Jefferson memorials, this is a living memorial. It’s all about the change and the future.” PEGGY M C GLONE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

weekendpass tacos I’ve ever had. I love to eat them for breakfast. They’re not breakfast tacos — it’s like chicken, pork, beef — and they make homemade tortillas. I don’t even think they have a business or anything — I’ve never seen signs. It’s just these two people making tacos. I would probably go to my favorite butcher shop in Virginia, which is The Organic Butcher of McLean. They’re so knowledgeable; they’ll answer any questions you have. I buy all my meat from there. I usually go with a boneless rib-eye — that’s my favorite steak.

My D.C. dream day

Kandis Smith BAKER

In the great Cake vs. Pie wars, Little Red Fox’s Kandis Smith has always been reliably Team Pie, crafting delicate floral and lattice crust designs for the Van Ness bakery (and sharing them on her mouthwatering Instagram account). But lately, even she is curious about what’s cooking on the other side of the divide. “I’ve been experimenting with cake a bit, just to switch it up,” she confesses. Smith, 30, and her fellow bakers will have more room to experiment this fall with the opening of the bakery’s new production space a few doors down, where they’ll continue to whip up cakes, pies and sweets for Little Red Fox and its sister shops, Fox Loves Taco in Brookland and The Den inside Politics and Prose’s flagship store. But when she’s off the clock on her fantasy day, Smith is taking a break from dessert altogether. It would start with me going to Greenheart Juice Shop in Great Falls [Va.]. I’m obsessed with their green smoothie — it’s literally the best green smoothie I’ve ever had in my whole life. They call it the Green Machine: It’s so cold and refreshing. I’d get one of those and head to Great Falls Park. It’s such a great park to

hike, because it feels a little more skillful than it really is. There’s rocks and stuff everywhere, so you can feel like you’re a great rock climber, when really you’re just kinda walking over some rocks. I’d love to go to the Reston Farmers Market. There’s a stand there where they sell the best

I’ll meet up with my husband, Nathan, and we’d go to Sakuramen in Adams Morgan. That’s my favorite ramen spot in the city. They know me and my husband every time we go in there. They know exactly what we’re gonna order. I’d get a Shoki bowl with a side of kimchi. I really love beer, and sour beers are my favorite. I love to go beer shopping at Odd Provisions; they have lots of really hard-to-find things. I also love Cordial Fine Wine and Spirits at Union Market. Right Proper Brewing Company and Bluejacket always have some really cool sour beers on tap. So me and Nathan will seek out some good beers and bop around between bottle shops and bars. Because it is my dream day, I would really like to go to A Rake’s Progress or Maydan, because it’s really impossible to get reservations there right now. So I’d have a nice 7:30 p.m. reservation. I’m obsessed with [The Washington Post’s] Capital Weather Gang. I want to know them and be friends with them, so my dream is to have a drink with them and talk about weather, because I low-key wish I was a meteorologist. I was thinking maybe The Dabney Cellar. I have so many questions for them! (AS TOLD TO LORI McCUE/FOR EXPRESS)

“The Liberation,” screening next week at AFI Docs, follows students in D.C. Central Kitchen’s training program.

AFI Docs VR Showcase

Go inside a kitchen that’s changing lives FILM Documentarians Christoph Green and Brendan Canty wanted to make a film about D.C. Central Kitchen’s culinary training program. The only problem was D.C. Central Kitchen wasn’t interested. “It took me a year,” says Green, a Maryland resident who grew up in Columbia and now lives in Chevy Chase. “I must have had, like, 20 meetings trying to make them feel comfortable that we were just trying to tell a story.” That story turned out to be “The Liberation,” a documentary co-directed by Green and Canty that will have its East Coast premiere June 15 at the AFI Docs festival, which begins Wednesday and runs through June 17. The culinary training program aims to prepare adults who face employment barriers — such as jail time, addiction and homelessness — for careers in food service. While the filmmakers faced several challenges, such as filming in the tiny kitchen (“It’s tight enough in there” without cameras, Green says), the real stumbling block was the intense, emotional work the program’s students do in other rooms. “It’s group therapy, basically,”

This daily showcase features 11 short films that use virtual reality and cover a variety of topics, including economic, legal and environmental concerns. The showcase is open only to pass-holders. AFI Docs Festival Hub, 421 Seventh St. NW; June 14-17, 3:30-5:30 p.m., $50-$450 (cost of pass).

‘Love, Gilda’ Without “Saturday Night Live’s” Gilda Radner, below, there would be no Kristen Wiig. Or Melissa McCarthy. Or Maya Rudolph. This 2018 film uses photos, clips and Radner’s own voice to examine the comedy star’s too-short life. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; June 14, 4:10 p.m., $12. Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW; June 17, 12:15 p.m., $15. K.P.K.

Students celebrate after graduating from the culinary training program.

Green says. “That’s the only way that process works. So there was a big fear that if there was a camera in their faces, people would just clam up.” So Green and Canty thought small — very small, as the two of them made up the entirety of the film’s crew. “When you really need people to trust you, the less extra people you have standing around, the more you can mix [yourself] into whatever you’re trying to document,” Green says. “What at first was this weird situation of having these two guys with cameras walking around suddenly just became part of the backdrop.” It turned out the backdrop was exactly where Canty and Green

wanted to be as they filmed the students during their transformations from jobless addicts and dealers to prep and line cooks. “When you have that initial judgment of something and then it transforms,” Green says, “to me, that’s the whole game. I love that.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

“The Liberation”: Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW; June 15, 1 p.m., $15. AFI Silver, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; June 15, 8:30 p.m., sold out (rush tickets may be available for $15).

Do summer right — the Bei Bei way As we learned in 2013 when he made a daring escape from the National Zoo, Rusty the red panda is a scofflaw, a rogue, a loose cannon. On the other hand, Bei Bei, the zoo’s adorable giant panda cub, is clearly a good citizen, the kind of panda you could take home to your mother. We enlisted these two D.C. icons to illustrate how you can do D.C. summer right — or, if you’re anything like Rusty, what you’re probably doing wrong.

Touring the Capitol

Rusty books a general tour of the Capitol.

Bei Bei contacts his representatives for a personalized tour.

Hitting the zoo

Rusty thinks the best Metro stop for the zoo is the one that says “Zoo.”

Bei Bei knows that Metro signs can be misleading.

You can drop by the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center anytime (during business hours) for a tour of the Capitol building, but these tours are a bit cookie-cutter. You’ll spend most of your time looking at statues in the crypt and paintings in the Rotunda. If you call ahead and schedule a tour with one of your representatives, you’ll get to see the Capitol with an intern, who can personalize the tour to your interests, give you some state-themed swag and perhaps even take you on the nifty old trains that run between the congressional office buildings and the Capitol.

The Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan stop seems to be the most logical choice if you’re visiting the zoo. It is not. Bei Bei knows that getting off there means you’ll be making a long slog uphill to the zoo’s main entrance on Connecticut Avenue — a real problem if you’ve got little cubs and/or a stroller. Instead, get off at Cleveland Park and head downhill and south to the zoo’s main entrance. After you’re finished with your visit, turn south, coast downhill and hop on the train at Woodley Park. If your cubs are still whining, just know in your heart that it could have been worse.

Taking in the Folklife Festival

Working out

Rusty goes to the festival in the heat of the day.

Bei Bei waits for evening to take in the shows.

The Smithsonian Folklife Festival assembles people from around the world to demonstrate their cultures on the National Mall — during the peak of D.C.’s summer heat. (This year’s festival runs June 27-July 1 and July 4-8.) We feel sorry for these international visitors out there in the beating sun, but you don’t have to sweat alongside them. Instead of visiting the festival during the day, drop by for evening performances, which begin daily at 6:30 p.m. In addition to taking place when it’s cooler, these shows often feature the festival’s top musicians and dancers. Visit festival.si.edu for more info.

Rusty sticks with his same old workout routine.

Bei Bei embraces the outdoors and makes new friends.

Once summer starts, you can barely throw a bamboo stick without hitting a free outdoor workout class. Chinatown Park’s options include barre, Zumba and yoga; the Golden Triangle BID’s TriFit series offers yoga on Tuesdays, barre on Wednesdays and Pilates on Thursdays through September (Bei Bei knows he has to register on Eventbrite to sign the waiver). Thanks to the Anacostia Watershed Society, you can hit the river during the summer for a guided canoe tour or an open paddle night. Or you can stay on dry land and tone up throughout June with FlyBarre classes (kind of a weight workout) on Tuesday evenings in the Park at CityCenter.

Lounging at Wolf Trap

Rusty heads to Wolf Trap empty-handed.

Celebrating the Fourth

Bei Bei knows about the Bring Your Own Bamboo policy.

There’s no need to smuggle in your flask if you’ve got lawn seats for a summer concert at the Filene Center: Wolf Trap allows you to bring in food and drinks, including alcohol. The maximum size allowed for coolers on the lawn is 48 quarts (which is really big), but otherwise, anything goes. Lawn chairs also have rules: There’s a special section for them, while the rest of the lawn is limited to cushions with backs. If you’re worried about being able to see the entertainment, fear not: There are two giant screens on either side of the stage to ensure a good view. And never forget that the lawn opens 90 minutes before showtime, so get ready to run for a good spot.

If ad space were real estate, this would be a designer condo on U Street.

Enjoy a matinee performance of Ballet, Chant & Song with an onstage workshop after the show. All other performances at 8:00pm, June 21 - 23.

Bei Bei watches the dress rehearsal on July 3.

Granted, Bei Bei knows there will still be crowds on Fourth of July Eve, but they won’t be as big — and this way he can spend the actual Fourth watching fireworks from one of his eagle buddies’ high perches. All of the featured acts, including standbys the National Symphony Orchestra, the United States Army Band and the Choral Arts Society of Washington, as well as this year’s special guests — including The Beach Boys and Jimmy Buffett — are slated to perform at the rehearsal. There won’t be fireworks, but there will be a boom: the U.S. Army Presidential Salute Battery will attend to fire the cannons. The Third of July fun starts at 8 p.m.; gates usually open at 3 p.m., but that’s subject to change.

It’s music festival season

Erykah Badu

Music just sounds better in the summer (that’s why you never hear anyone discussing the song of the spring). Each year, the season brings more music festivals than you could possibly attend. To help you plan out your summer festival-going, we’ve got the skinny on five events in D.C., Maryland and Virginia — each with its own quirks and perks. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

DC Jazz Festival Various venues in D.C.; Fri. through June 17, various prices, go to dcjazzfest.org for details.

The annual festival takes over the District for 10 days of jazz programming featuring more than 300 musicians from around the world at more than 40 venues. Headliners: The festival’s marquee event on June 16 finds “Hamilton’s” Leslie Odom Jr., Robert Glasper’s new group R+R=NOW and Prince collaborator Maceo Parker teaming up for a triple bill at The Anthem. Local artists: Many participants are based here, including singer Lena Seikaly (Tuesday at The Hamilton; June 16 at The Alex Craft Cocktail Cellar & Speakeasy) and the DuPont Brass ensemble (Monday at Ivy City Smokehouse). Can’t-miss show: Cuban pianists Chucho Valdes and Gonzalo Rubalcaba join forces at the Kennedy Center on June 15 to present “Trance,” which explores how music can act as a spiritual force and a universal language. Free for all: New this year are multiple stages of free music at The Wharf during the festival’s final two nights. Trumpeter Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, pianist Mark G. Meadows, Italy’s Fabrizio Bosso, France’s Ancestral Memories and more will perform sets overlooking

the Southwest Waterfront. Go if you frequent: DC Jazz Jam at The Brixton or shows at Twins Jazz, Blues Alley, Sotto or Marvin. JUNE 9

Kingman Island Bluegrass & Folk Festival

Island fest takes over the normally sleepy green space nestled in the banks of the Anacostia River, with a full day of folk music that benefits Living Classrooms’ educational programs and the park itself.

Songster Revue, a special collaboration led by D.C.-based banjoist Dom Flemons (of California Chocolate Drops fame) with appearances by Amythyst Kiah, Guy Davis, Kamara Thomas and guests.

Headliners: New York-based bluegrass and hip-hop fusion act Gangstagrass, Baltimore rocker Cris Jacobs, Virginia-based Americana artist Dori Freeman.

Kingman and Heritage Islands Park, 575 Oklahoma Ave. NE; Sat., noon-8 p.m., $35-$45 (VIP: $125).

Local artists: You’d have to try hard not to see a local musician here, as most of the performers hail from D.C., Virginia or Maryland.

Can’t-miss set: The American

Beyond the music: Take a break from the music and kayak or hop on a boat tour. AUGUST 4 & 5

Each year, Merriweather’s Summer Spirit Festival fuses the new and old schools of R&B, soul and hip-hop. Headliners: Neo-soul icon Erykah Badu and rap legend Nas bring their joint tour to the festival that Saturday; hip-hop’s venerable house band The Roots headline the next day.

Kingman Island Bluegrass & Folk Festival

Local artists: On the second day, soul singer Raheem DeVaughn, who grew up in the area and has been a fixture here ever since, and Baltimore’s DJ Quicksilva perform.

KINGMAN ISLAND BLUEGRASS & FOLK FESTIVAL

stanley cup final BARRY SVRLUGA | THE WASHINGTON POST

These playoffs have made Capitals fans feel like they’ve been granted access to some alternate universe, one in which two pucks bounce off posts, but it happens to the other team. In this universe, the Capitals shrug. They keep playing, and they step on throats. Because of that, Washington is one win — 60 solid minutes — from hoisting the Stanley Cup. The Caps have a 3-1 series lead over the Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup finals. They demolished Vegas 6-2 in Game 4 on Monday in Washington, where the only thing more astonishing than the Capitals’ absolute undressing of Vegas was the scene in the packed streets outside. What town do we live in again? Apparently, one in which thousands of fans without tickets jam the areas around the arena just so they can experience what it’s like to feel joy and anticipation — not dread. Game 4 was simply an extension of this series — and these playoffs. The Capitals are better than the Golden Knights, just as they were better than Columbus and Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. While the fight’s

Conn Smythe contenders With the Capitals on the cusp of their first title, they’ve got three legitimate candidates to claim the playoff MVP trophy. (TWP)

not over — far from it — it’s a fair assessment. There was a weird Game 1 in which both teams looked shaky. And there have been three games since in which the cumulative score is Washington 12, Vegas 5. And yet, was Monday’s version even their best hockey? “I think we have another level,” said bruising forward Devante Smith-Pelly, one of six different Caps goal scorers. Yes, the Capitals have a franchise that has blown five 3-1 leads in postseasons past. Yes, that’s a staggering number. “There’s been heartbreak here,” veteran T.J. Oshie said. “We know that.” This Capitals team has nothing to do with those Capitals teams. What should actually remove anxiety, though, would be to re-watch Games 3 and 4, the two played at Capital One Arena in front of packed houses that seem to be reevaluating how to handle their fandom in real time. These Capitals get bounces — notably, Knights forward James Neal, staring at an open goal, yet snapping the puck off the post in the first, Vegas’ second pipe of the period. Granted those breaks, these Capitals also take Oshie’s

Ruthless attitude: These Caps know how to get closure

power-play goal to open the scoring, then add Tom Wilson’s goal to pad the lead, then just crush the Knights with SmithPelly’s tally in the waning moments of the first. In the old days — and by old days, I mean, say, 2017 — Oshie’s goal would have been followed by a stupid Caps penalty and a Vegas power-play goal, and all sorts of nerves. Now, the Capitals seem to expect to deliver the next goal. Remember that vibe that used to seep into Capital One Arena at times like these? Every lead felt tenuous. Every break seemed to go against the team in red. Not anymore. Remember even the home struggles to open the playoffs?

Caps lead series 3-1 The schedule and results for the Stanley Cup Final (best of seven): Game 1: Golden Knights 6, Caps 4 Game 2: Caps 3, Golden Knights 2 Game 3: Caps 3, Golden Knights 1 Game 4: Caps 6, Golden Knights 2 Game 5: Tonight in Vegas (8, NBC) *Game 6: Sunday in D.C. (8, NBC) *Game 7: Wednesday in Vegas (8, NBC) *if necessary

Washington dropped the first two games to the Blue Jackets and lost the opener to Pittsburgh. The Caps frittered away Games 3 and 4 to Tampa. Now, they have three straight home wins, and it’s

worth wondering if they even need to return to take the Cup. “We just play,” forward Brett Connolly said. “We’re not thinking too much. We’re just playing for each other. Everyone’s playing to their strengths. It’s been so much fun.” The Caps could lose Game 5 in Las Vegas, and they wouldn’t change. Not to say they wouldn’t analyze a loss. But unlike every other year in the Alex Ovechkin era — this team knows what it is and how it has to play. It is methodical and calm. And it can be, at times, ruthless.

Alex Ovechkin

Braden Holtby

The center is the focal point of the Caps’ offense. He leads all playoff skaters with a franchise-record 31 points, five more than captain Alex Ovechkin. Eleven of his team-high 19 assists have been a primary pass leading to a goal.

The Great Eight isn’t just a sentimental favorite. He has more goals (14), shot attempts and scoring chances than anyone in the finals, and his defensive play dispels any notions that he’s lazy at the other end of the ice.

The former Vezina Trophy winner was benched for the first two games of the playoffs but has been sparkling since his return. With a .919 save percentage in the finals, he’s outplaying veteran Vegas goalkeeper Marc-Andre Fleury (.845).

stanley cup final

Ultimate test of survival Caps learn firsthand why hockey’s playoffs are recognized as the toughest in pro sports

Steady Djoos shows maturity in postseason

JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

STANLEY CUP FINAL In years past, after annual disappointment rendered him a spectator, Capitals defenseman John Carlson would come to a recurring realization. Washington had always been knocked out by the second round of the playoffs, and Carlson would watch the rest of the postseason from his couch. Two or three weeks would pass before the Stanley Cup finals began, and Carlson would have the same notion every year. “Man,” Carlson would think. “I can’t believe these guys are still playing hockey.” In hockey circles, the Stanley Cup is regarded as both the ultimate prize and a survival test. It is called, to the point of cliche, “the hardest trophy to win in professional team sports.” As the Capitals have broken through their second-round hex and stormed to within one victory of hoisting the Cup, they have also discovered a physical and mental toll unique in sports. Tonight in Las Vegas — where Washington can close out the Golden Knights and claim its first championship — the Capitals will play their 24th playoff game in 57 days. All hockey players understand and revere the cost of playing for the Stanley Cup. The Caps can appreciate that now. “The road to get here is so long,” center Lars Eller said. “There’s so many ups and downs during the way and so many things that have to go right that you don’t really have any control over sometimes. I don’t see any other sports where it’s harder to reach this point.”

Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin rests on the wall during a break in play in the Stanley Cup finals against Las Vegas.

The NHL playoffs have the frequency of basketball and the physicality of football. Players launch themselves into one another at terrific speed and use their bodies to block a hunk of frozen rubber hurtling at speeds close to 100 mph. They live and die with every goal, many of which are the products of lucky bounces. “When the mind gets real tired, and you think that you can’t do it, you can’t,” coach Barry Trotz said. “When your mind is strong — we have strong minds on our team — you’re able to go way further than you ever thought.” The playoffs grant more breaks than the regular season, when teams sometimes play

consecutive days and don’t always get days off to travel. But playoff stakes can make one game feel like three packed into one night. In response, the Caps have eliminated weightlifting and cardio workouts to conserve energy.

Coaches allow players to rest for parts of practices and skip some entirely. Trainers work extra, always on-call for players who want to use hot tubs, cold tubs, foam rollers and massage tables. The rest and the adrenaline rush makes the physical strain disappear for some players. “I feel better now than I did at the beginning of the playoffs,” T.J. Oshie said before Game 4. “We’re rolling.” The Capitals, after so many years of letdowns, are finally the ones left standing. They are learning how hard it is to still be playing hockey in early June, but they know for sure it beats watching from the couch. ADAM KILGORE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

INSTANT ‘SELLOUT’

The number of minutes it took Wednesday for all of the tickets to be claimed at Capital One Arena for the Capitals’ watch party of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals, which is tonight in Las Vegas. According to the team, free tickets for the watch party became available online at 1 p.m. and were all taken by 1:20. The watch party is expected to create a wild atmosphere for the Mystics, who host the Minnesota Lynx at 4 p.m. Doors open at 3 p.m., and tickets for the game are free. The watch party is first come, first served, and a ticket doesn’t guarantee a seat. (TWP)

STANLEY CUP FINAL Christian Djoos is going unnoticed in all the right ways. In an impressive rookie year, the 23-year-old Swede has been steady for the Capitals since he replaced Jakub Jerabek on the third defensive pairing in Game 3 of the first round at Columbus. Since the first round, the Capitals kept their defensive pairings the same, with Djoos skating alongside Brooks Orpik. Djoos has been a key reason — not for any flashy plays or game-winning goals, but for his dependable skating — the team has a 3-1 lead in the finals. Over 21 playoff games, Djoos has averaged nearly 11 minutes of ice time with a plus-five rating. “He’s really mature, I think, as a player,” center and fellow Swede Nicklas Backstrom said. An undersized seventh-round pick in the 2012 NHL draft, Djoos (6 feet, 169 pounds) had a standout season in the AHL last year, scoring 13 goals with 45 assists. This season with the Caps, he averaged 14:02 of ice time in 63 games and tallied three goals and 11 assists. During this playoff run, Djoos’ name has really only popped up after practices and morning skates, where he has been at the center of the stretch circle recently. Because the Capitals are on a winning streak and the team has its own superstitions, he has continued to play that part. But his play this postseason is not lost on his teammates. “He sees the game better than probably almost anyone in here in my opinion,” defenseman John Carlson said. SAMANTHA PELL (TWP)

NBC, WASHINGTON POST AND GETTY IMAGES

The GIFs that keep giving It all started with Alex Ovechkin closing his eyes and dropping his head back in an almost tranquil way. He was the picture of relief, finally leading the Capitals through to the conference finals. The moment was so captivating for its honesty. What’s turning into the spring of Ovechkin can be told through a series of clips like that one, the body language and emotion so endearingly transparent. Whether it was that Ovechkin exhalation when Washington finally beat Pittsburgh, or the way he covered his face with both gloves in disbelief after Braden Holtby made “The Save” in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals, Ovechkin has been the GIF that’s kept on giving. The cameras are drawn to him, and Ovechkin has unabashedly displayed his feelings while well aware of the spotlight. “It’s a great study in human emotions,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz said. “He’s gone through them all in the playoffs.” His competency as the Capitals’ captain was questioned for years as Washington repeatedly flamed out in the playoffs, but what Ovechkin brings to the team has been clearly captured in six-second clips this postseason. “I’m enjoying it,” Ovechkin said. “I think the people who play in this to four rounds, you just enjoy the moment. Maybe you’re never going to have a chance to play one more time like that. I think everybody understand it, and we have fun and we enjoy the moment.” ISABELLE KHURSHUDYAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

stanley cup final

Vegas’ silver lining: ‘Pressure’s off’ STANLEY CUP FINAL Never in the Vegas Golden Knights’ single season of existence has a possible outcome carried such significant consequences. Never has their back been all but glued against the wall. Never has a loss threatened to end their magical run with a loud and echoing thud. But that is what will happen if the Golden Knights lose to the Capitals in Game 5 in Las Vegas tonight. Washington would clinch its first title in franchise history with a victory — a result that would also send the Golden Knights back to reality after a team built by an expansion draft charged through the NHL for the past eight months. The Golden Knights know this, and they spoke about the skyrocketing stakes in hushed voices late Monday night, after the Capitals bullied them in a 6-2 win at Capital One Arena. Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant, who does not believe in “puck luck,” knows this as well, but he thinks a 3-1 series deficit has shifted the burden of expectations off his team and onto its opponent.

GREGORY SHAMUS (GETTY IMAGES)

On brink of elimination, Golden Knights looking to play carefree hockey

Vegas forward William Karlsson reacts after a third-period goal by Washington in Monday’s 6-2 Capitals win.

“I think we’ve got to come out and start the way we started last night. We’ve got to be ready to play,” Gallant said on a call with reporters Tuesday. “We’re going to play in our building. The pressure’s off us. We’re going to work hard and have some fun. We’ll see what happens.” Gallant and his team are

drawing hope from the first five minutes of a game that ended in a four-goal defeat. The Golden Knights were humming at the start of Monday’s Game 4, tossing pucks into the zone, racing to reclaim them and peppering Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby with a storm of scoring chances.

The Golden Knights had scored just three total goals across Games 2 and 3, both losses, and the start seemed to foreshadow a breakthrough. But that never came. James Neal shot toward a wide-open net on a power play and hit the post, the Golden Knights fumbled away the rest of the five-on-four

advantage, and the Capitals scored three times before the first-period horn sounded. That left the Golden Knights on the brink of defeat and wondering when a bounce or two would go their way. It appears that the ice has tilted in the Capitals’ favor in a few critical moments of this series. Holtby’s acrobatic save on Alex Tuch in the waning moments of Game 2 — already coined “The Save” by Capitals fans — is one of those instances. Neal’s point-blank miss in Game 4, surrounded by two other Golden Knights shots that hit posts, provided further evidence of their misfortune. There is no promise that will change, so Gallant is instead leaning on his team’s ability to play loose and carefree. The only thing they have to lose, after all, is the Stanley Cup. “I mean, let’s face it. We started the season, and there was no expectation for our hockey club,” Gallant said. “Did the expectations change going into the playoffs? Sure they did, because we had a great regular season and won the Pacific Division. Again, it was about coming to play and enjoying our time and working hard and giving ourselves a chance to win.” JESSE DOUGHERTY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The race for ‘Hotel Artemis’ Making the action flick put the pressure on its cast and novice director

Apple has ordered a comedydrama series from J.J. Abrams that will feature original music by Sara Bareilles, the company announced Wednesday. Called “Little Voice,” the series is described by Apple as a romantic tale of searching for one’s true voice as a young adult. Apple has not yet revealed the cast or release date for the show, which received a 10-episode order. (AP) GLOBAL ROAD ENTERTAINMENT

FILM Inside Hotel Artemis, time is of the essence. And inside the film “Hotel Artemis,” time was of the essence. “We’re a movie about tension,” writer-director Drew Pearce says. “We’re a movie set in one night, we move quickly as a film, and that’s what we had to do as a production. So the two — though both designed to give me a heart attack — actually kind of helped the DNA of the film.” The hotel at the center of the film, which opens Friday, isn’t a five-star resort. It’s a secret, members-only hospital that caters to patients who would prefer not to leave a paper trail. Running the place is the Nurse (Jodie Foster), who doles out medical care while Everest (Dave Bautista) doles out security. Throughout the night depicted in the film, which is set in a near-future Los Angeles, riots are raging outside and tensions are building inside. Pearce, who co-wrote the screenplay for 2013’s “Iron Man 3,” wrote “Hotel Artemis” knowing he would direct, which meant he also knew he wouldn’t get a big-studio budget because he isn’t a big-studio name (though many of the cast members, including Foster, Jeff Goldblum and Zachary Quinto, have more name recognition). “Making it as an indie was the

only way I could be sure that I could hermetically seal the tone that I wanted and make sure the whole thing was covered in my fingerprints,” Pearce says. “The upside of that is you get all of those things. The downside of that is you have very little money.” That meant some cost-cutting measures — for example, the Hotel Artemis has five bedrooms but the production could afford the space to accommodate only two. So every three days the entire set was torn down and a new one was built, Pearce says. There was also the blisteringly paced,

33-day shoot — a schedule that co-star Sterling K. Brown (TV’s “This Is Us”) found more helpful than exhausting. “Creativity is often inspired by limits placed on time,” says Brown, who plays a patient called Waikiki (patients at the hotel are known only by their room names). “If you’re given too much time to create something, it ultimately leads to a certain kind of procrastination. Put the pressure cooker on and suddenly it’s, ‘OK, we’ve got to make something, we only have this much time, we only have this much money.’ Ultimately it’s the pressure that

creates the diamond.” Pearce wasn’t always so sure the pressure would pay off. “If you asked me at any point in the production if I [was] glad for these constraints, I probably would have said no,” he says. “But now I would definitely say yes. Moviemaking in general — and definitely as a first-time director — is like crossing an incredibly rickety bridge above a canyon, and I think the only way you can do it is not looking down, just looking forward and moving as quickly as you can over that bridge.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

@STAREAGLE, tweeting about Forbes’ 2018 list of the world’s highest-paid athletes, which was released Tuesday. For the first time since 2010, there are no women on the list. At the top of the list is Floyd Mayweather Jr., who competed in a boxing match against UFC star Conor McGregor last August, his only sporting event of the year. In 2017, Serena Williams ranked 51st as the only woman on the list.

“11 dudes and one gal. You know, for a magazine called Variety, your writers panel doesn’t have a lot of ... variety.” magazine released the list of panelists for “A Night in the Writers’ Room,” an event on June 14. Between two panels with six speakers each, there was only one woman. In a tweet Tuesday, Variety apologized for the “egregious oversight,” and said it was working to rectify the mistake.

DIFFICULT

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can put someone in a position to succeed today without damaging your chances in the process. It’ll soon be “share and share alike.” CANCER (June 21-July 22) You mustn’t rest on your laurels at this time. You can parlay a recent success into something new and exciting. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a very important choice to make before the day is out, and it’s sure to affect others as well as yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can make a few small but important changes to the way you and your family do things at home. By day’s end, objections should subside. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You don’t want to be dealing with anything or anyone that is only “ordinary” today. It’s only the extraordinary for you.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Being tidy is very important today — especially when it comes to your workplace. You may want to give it a once-over. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may not be able to discern a difference today between praise and criticism. What you’ve been doing lately warrants complex responses. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

You may be surprised at day’s end to find that you’ve gotten something for nothing. You may be asked to pay up later, however.

TODAY: High pressure stays in control as the air mass becomes noticeably warmer. The humidity should still be comfortable with highs heading for the mid-70s to near 80 under partly to mostly sunny skies. This should be a particularly nice evening to be out and about, as temperatures fall back into the 60s.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your plans may have to change today after you learn of a key player’s whereabouts. Things are not falling into place the way you had hoped. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may have to sever ties with someone who has been part of your inner circle for quite some time because he or she has crossed a line.

J. Law forgets ‘Red Sparrow’ spy training

Prince Louis’ 15 minutes wrapping up Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ready to start a family, Us Weekly reported Wednesday. “Having children is definitely a priority,” a source close to Markle said. “She and Harry want to start a family right away — and she’ll start trying as soon as she can.” The couple have been on their honeymoon at an undisclosed location following the royal wedding May 19 at Windsor Castle. (EXPRESS)

Jennifer Lawrence is dating art gallery director Cooke Maroney, Page Six reported Tuesday. “The relationship has been going on a few weeks,” a source told Page Six. “But they have been very private and careful not to be seen together.” The couple, however, have been spotted “several times” in New York, People reported Wednesday. Lawrence, 27, reportedly was introduced to the 33-year-old art dealer by her friend Laura Simpson. Lawrence, who previously dated Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and “X-Men” co-star Nicholas Hoult, broke up with “Mother!” director Darren Aronofsky in November. (EXPRESS)
