A rush to reschedule

RICHMOND

Starting Saturday, the ballfields will be off-limits. Leagues won’t have access to the West Potomac fields again until July 7 — three days after the fireworks.

The recently announced change is sending leagues scrambling to reschedule games for as many as 600 softball and Ultimate Frisbee players displaced from eight softball fields and nine multiuse fields.

For Capital Alumni Network, Coogan’s league, the change means figuring out what to do for about 400 players who were set to play Saturday. Add DC Fray, one of the biggest organizers of intramural sports in the District, and that means several hundred

Sports leagues must alter game schedules to accommodate Fourth of July changes

RECREATION Jack Coogan, 26, loves his weekly softball games on the grassy fields of West Potomac Park.

He loves the chance to run after working all day as an accountant, and the camaraderie of his team.

But Coogan and some 600 other after-work athletes won’t be playing next week, thanks to President Trump.

The president’s decision to change the nation’s Fourth of July celebration — by relocating a fireworks display, adding a second fireworks show and addressing the nation from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial — means a lengthy shutdown of the ballfields on Ohio Drive SW.

National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said in an email that users were informed of blackout dates in April and May when permits for the fields were issued.

Coogan said he does not appreciate Trump rearranging the Fourth of July celebration.

“It’s going against the grain of a city that has people with those long-standing traditions,” Coogan said. “I think it’s pretty shortsighted of the administration to just close a significant portion of a grassy area because he wants to … speak on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.” CORTLYNN STARK (THE WASHINGTON POST)

At a time when journalists are being vilified as “the enemy of the people,” staffers at the Capital Gazette newspaper are feeling the embrace of a grateful community, one year after a gunman in the newsroom killed five of their colleagues.

Reporters who survived the worst attack on journalists in U.S. history say the trauma has not faded, but connections with readers offers comfort and inspiration.

“They’ll say that they read our work, and then they’ll be really nice to us, which is nice, even if they disagree with whatever we’re reporting,” said reporter Selene San Felice, who hid under a desk during the shooting.

Senate passes measure for $4.6B in border aid WASHINGTON The GOP-held Senate on Wednesday passed a bipartisan $4.6 billion measure to deliver aid to the southern border before the government runs out of money to care for thousands of migrant families and unaccompanied children.

The sweeping 84-8 vote came less than 24 hours after the Democratic-controlled House approved a companion measure backed by party liberals that was weighed down by a White House veto threat and bipartisan rejection by the Senate.

Republicans and the White House far prefer the Senate measure, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pressing for

quick negotiations to merge the bills — promising that Democrats won’t buckle to demands to send the Senate bill directly to President Trump without changes.

Pelosi c a l led T r ump on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the measure.

“There’s some improvements that we think can be reconciled,” Pelosi told reporters.

Trump said passing the legislation was urgent as he left the White House for Japan, and he appeared to leave the door open for negotiations.

Congress plans to leave Washington in a few days for a weeklong July 4 recess, and pressure is intense to wrap up the

SURVEY ON N. KOREA

Many in U.S. would back a nuke strike More than a third of Americans would support a preemptive nuclear strike on North Korea if that country tested a longrange missile capable of reaching the United States, new research has found, even if that preemptive strike killed a million civilians. The survey of 3,000 Americans was conducted by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and British research firm YouGov, and asked people to consider a scenario in which North Korea had tested a long-range missile and the U.S. government was considering how to respond. Most did not want their government to launch a preemptive strike, but a large minority supported such a strike, whether by conventional or nuclear weapons — even if the death toll in North Korea were devastating.

legislation before then.

Both the House and Senate measures contain more than $1 billion to shelter and feed migrants detained by the border patrol and almost $3 billion to care for unaccompanied migrant children who are turned over the Department of Health and Human Services.

Both bills also ensure funding could not be shifted to Trump’s border wall and would block information on sponsors of immigrant children from being used to deport them.

Workers protest Wayfair sale to migrant camps BOSTON Employees at online retailer Wayfair walked out Wednesday to protest the company’s decision to sell $200,000 worth of furniture to a government contractor that runs a detention center for migrant children in Texas.

The protest triggered a broader backlash against the company, with some customers calling for a boycott. Several hundred people joined the protest at a plaza near the company’s Boston headquarters, a mix of employees and people from outside the company.

More than 500 employees at the company’s Boston headquarters signed a protest letter to executives when they found out about the contract.

Wayfair refused to back out of the contract but told employees Wednesday that it would donate $100,000 to the Red Cross.

“Last week, we found out about the sale and that we are profiting from this. And we are not comfortable with that,” said Tom Brown, 33, a Wayfair engineer. “For me personally, there is more to life than profit.”

The protest comes amid a new uproar over revelations of terrible conditions at a Border Patrol facility in Clint, Texas, including inadequate food, lack of medical care, no soap, and older children trying to care for toddlers.

A MESSAGE FROM METRO GM/CEO

PAUL J. WIEDEFELD Starting Monday, July 1, Metro will reduce fare prices on several pass products and add more frequent rush-hour service at three Red Line stations. These changes are part of the new budget approved earlier this year by Metro’s Board of Directors.

The changes going into effect next week focus on making rail and bus passes a better value for customers. For example, we’re adding unlimited bus trips to all Metrorail passes, including the unlimited monthly ride pass. And for those who ride Metrobus only, we’re dropping the price of the 7-Day Unlimited Regional Bus Pass almost 15 percent – from $17.50 to $15. If you ride Metrobus twice a day, that’s like getting all your Friday, Saturday and Sunday rides for free.

Metro’s Platform Improvement Project is fully underway as crews reconstruct the platforms at several Blue and Yellow Line stations.

To learn more about the process and follow along throughout the summer, visit wmata.com/platformsprogress.

In addition to lowering the price of passes, the new budget also increases service for Yellow and Red line customers. While the Yellow Line extension to Greenbelt began last month at the start of the Platform Improvement Project, the Red Line service improvement will begin on Monday. All Red Line trains will run to Glenmont, doubling rush-hour service levels at Glenmont, Wheaton and Forest Glen.

Combined with the elimination of the “Grosvenor turnback” last December, this means that Red Line trains will now operate between Shady Grove and Glenmont, rather than ending early at Grosvenor or Silver Spring.

Compared with Apollo-era tech, today’s science instruments are much more sensitive. “So it was really good planning on their part to wait,” said NASA’s Apollo sample curator, Ryan Zeigler.

By studying the Apollo moon rocks, Zeigler said, scientists have determined the ages of the surfaces of Mars and Mercury, and established that Jupiter and the solar system’s other big outer planets likely formed closer to the sun and later migrated outward.

Especially tricky will be extracting the gases that were trapped in the vacuum-sealed sample tubes. The lab hasn’t opened one since the 1970s.

With ex-special counsel due to testify, president accuses him of a crime WASHINGTON President Trump lashed out Wednesday at former special counsel Robert Mueller, accusing him without evidence of committing a crime by deleting text messages exchanged by two former FBI officials who had expressed disdain for the president.

“Robert Mueller terminated their text messages. He terminated them. They’re gone,” Trump said. “That’s a crime.”

His comments during a wideranging interview with Fox Business Network came a day after Democratic House leaders announced that Mueller had been subpoenaed to testify publicly July 17 about his investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential campaign and possible obstruction of justice

New problem found with Boeing 737 Max jet

Reddit said Wednesday that the forum that serves as a gathering place for supporters of President Trump — “r/The_Donald” — has been “quarantined” following months of incitements to violence and other offensive behavior. Reddit officials specifically mentioned that the “r/ The_Donald” board had encouraged violence toward police officers and public officials in Oregon. The quarantine will effectively demote the forum on Reddit, removing key features and restricting how its content is shared across the site, including blocking it from appearing in searches or recommendations.

A House committee voted Wednesday to authorize a subpoena for White House counselor Kellyanne Conway after she failed to show for a hearing on a government watchdog’s findings that she broke the law dozens of times. The House Oversight Committee voted 25 to 16 for the subpoena after special counsel Henry Kerner said she blatantly violated the Hatch Act, which bars federal employees from engaging in politics during work. It is unclear, however, what Democrats will do if Conway ignores the subpoena. She could be held in criminal contempt of Congress. (TWP)

Where’s the outrage?

Politicians essentially shrugged at the latest sexual assault allegations against Trump Recent political losses

E. Jean Carroll has accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her more than two decades ago.

Democrats threw out everything they had to stop Kavanaugh, and they lost that battle. Couple that with losing the 2016 presidential election, and they have some powerful data points to argue that going after Trump’s alleged sexual misconduct history is not the way to beat him.

“On the Democratic side,” Dittmar says, “the shrug is: ‘Well, everybody knows this and they still aren’t reacting, so what can we do about it?’ ” (Though she argues a bully pulpit can be a powerful tool even if it doesn’t get Trump out of office.)

EVA DEITCH (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

ANALYSIS A woman accused President Trump of forcefully sexually assaulting her, and powerful politicians on both sides of the aisle aren’t really that outraged.

In fact, many of them don’t seem focused on E. Jean Carroll’s accusations at all. But why?

The muted reaction to the claim by Carroll, who said Trump attacked her in a dressing room more than two decades ago, reflected a sense among resigned Democrats that the president will never face serious political damage from accusations of sexual misconduct, which 16 women have now made.

Here are some theories on why Washington politicians are shrugging at this, developed with the help of Kelly Dittmar, an expert in gender politics at the Center for American Women and Politics.

Women must show proof The burden of proof often rests on the victim and not the accused assailant. That’s less a reflection of politics than it is of society, Dittmar says.

But it still gives politicians a reason to avoid commenting on politically inconvenient allegations — they can say they’ll take these seriously if the accuser gives more to the story.

“I don’t know, have any of the specifics and it’s just important any types of allegations like this are taken seriously, but they do have to be properly vetted,” said Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who has talked about being raped when she was in college.

But as we learned with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, even an FBI investigation into someone’s accusations can fail to provide definitive proof one way or the other.

There’s numbness Carroll is the 16th woman to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct and provide witnesses she told at the time about the incident. (That’s a key way to corroborate these claims.)

From Democrats’ point of view, if voters knew Trump was accused of being a serial sexual harasser and still elected him president, what’s going to change now by making a fuss about Carroll’s accusations?

“It’s not particular new news, so I don’t know,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

Democrats are focused on propping up their vision of the country for the 2020 election and actively not trying to get into battles with Trump that could make him look like a victim. It sounds cynical, but politics can be very cynical.

Reactions Here were some reactions since E. Jean Carroll became the 16th woman to publicly accuse Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. (TWP) President Trump: “I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.: “I don’t have any comments about that.”

Sen. Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill.: “I wouldn’t dismiss it, but let’s be honest, he’s going to deny it and little is going to come of it.”

David Axelrod, former adviser to President Barack Obama: “I would hate to think that we are inured to such things. But there is a dismal familiarity to these stories by now, as well as the president’s denials.”

South Korea’s president says the U.S. and North Korea are in talks to set up a third Trump-Kim summit

Partisanship is a motivator During those Kavanaugh hearings, one Republican senator crossed party lines briefly to give the FBI a chance to investigate the allegations. Now-retired Jeff Flake of Arizona later said he received death threats and had people protest at his home for doing that.

“There’s no value to reaching across the aisle,” he said.

Republicans feel this pull to be loyal to their party most acutely right now. High-profile GOP candidates for Congress who criticized Trump for bragging about sexual assault in an “Access Hollywood” video lost their races or nearly lost their primaries, even years afterward.

The 2020 election is right around the corner, and Trump is still incredibly popular among base voters. So Republican candidates can’t risk being seen as disloyal to him now.

“If you’re a Republican,” Dittmar says, “you’re going to say: ‘Well, in this environment, everybody’s just out to get him, and it must be false.” AMBER PHILLIPS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

HPV vaccine recommended through age 45 HEALTH A federal public health advisory panel said Wednesday that people through age 45 could benefit from getting an HPV vaccine and should discuss the possibility with their doctors.

The recommendation, which came during a two-day meeting of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, could expand the pool of people whose insurance providers may cover the HPV vaccine.

It was developed to prevent cancer caused by the human papillomavirus, which is typically transmitted through oral, anal or vaginal sex. The vaccine is recommended for preteen girls and boys to protect them before exposure to the virus, with catch-up vaccinations through age 26. But in a 10-to-4 vote, the panel agreed to recommend HPV vaccination for women and men ages 27 to 45 who are not adequately vaccinated, through “shared clinical decision-making.”

Those who voted against the change cited concerns about potential disparities in access to the vaccine, the global vaccine supply and a potential for a decline in immunization rates among teens and young adults, which is the preferred age group.

Each year in the U.S., about 17,500 women and 9,300 men get HPV-related cancer that in many instances could be prevented by vaccination, the CDC says. LINDSEY BEVER (TWP)

40-YEAR RUN

Former Virginia Tech point guard Justin Robinson signed with the Wizards as a free agent.

Guard leans on intuition Dubbed the ‘61st pick,’ undrafted Robinson believes D.C. is exactly where he should be WIZARDS Like any good point guard, Wizards incoming rookie Justin Robinson has foresight. He saw plays develop faster than other point guards, leaving Virginia Tech as the school’s leader in assists. And his uncanny intuition seems to go beyond the court.

After Robinson landed awkwardly during a Jan. 30 game against the Miami Hurricanes, he lay on the hardwood and offered up a prescient diagnosis

when the team’s trainer ran over.

“I have no idea how I knew but I told him I felt my fifth metatarsal had broke,” said Robinson, whose foot injury interrupted his breakout senior season. “He looked at me like I was crazy and he’s like, what are you talking about? I said, ‘I promise you I just broke my fifth metatarsal.’ ” Weeks before the NBA draft, Robinson came across a clip that documented the moment in 2016 when Fred VanVleet,

now a Raptors guard and newly crowned NBA champion, addressed his crowd of supporters after going undrafted. Robinson retweeted the video with the message: “wow, perspective.”

Perhaps due to his late-season injury, Robinson didn’t hear his name called on draft night. He said his camp discouraged some teams from taking him in the lower part of the 60-pick draft.

“The ultimate goal was to get drafted. We had some phone calls around the 40s area that we turned down to be in the best possible fit,” Robinson said, “which we thought was here.”

Following the draft, he signed a multiyear, partially guaranteed contract with Washington as a free agent. Tommy Sheppard, who has led the team’s basketball operations since April 2, referred to him as the “61st pick.” Robinson believes he landed in an ideal situation for his career.

“The main question was: Is the

goal to hear your name called?

[Or] is your goal to stick around and have a long career in the NBA and be in the best fit to make a roster?” Robinson said, recalling a conversation he had with his agent.

Robinson, a 6-foot-2 native of Manassas, Va., whose family had Wizards season tickets during the Gilbert Arenas era, played only three games after his injury. The last came inside Capital One Arena, as Wizards personnel watched him rack up 14 points and five assists against Duke in the Sweet 16.

Robinson is expected to spend time with the franchise’s G League team, the Capital City Go-Go. But with the Wizards lacking point guard depth, he can envision an opportunity to compete for an NBA roster spot.

“Not saying I’m going to make the roster, but I think it has a good feel for me,” Robinson said.

Ley was ESPN’s longest-tenured anchor, joining “SportsCenter” on the channel’s third day of operation Sept. 9, 1979.

He hosted “Outside The Lines,” an investigative news program, from its launch in 1990 until he took a sabbatical last September. The 64-year-old tweeted Wednesday that he’s enjoying the “best of health” and that the decision to retire was “entirely” his own. Ley, who won 11 Sports Emmy Awards, hosted the first NCAA selection show and the inaugural live broadcast of the NFL draft in 1980.

President taunts U.S. star who said she would skip a White House visit WORLD CUP President Trump has a message for U.S. national team co-captain Megan Rapinoe, tweeting Wednesday that “Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job!” and inviting the team “win or lose” to the White House after the World Cup. On Tuesday, a video clip surfaced of Rapinoe saying, “I’m not going to the f------ White House.”

The video was recorded in May for Eight by Eight magazine.

Rapinoe, 33, does not sing during the playing of the national anthem, and Trump added that “Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!” Defender Ali Krieger, 34, backed Rapinoe on Wednesday, tweeting that she “will sit this one out as well.

I’d then go for an afterdinner drink at another place that’s impossible to get into these days — Maydan. There would be no line when I get there. Maydan always has really good cocktails.

SMITHSONIAN

weekendpass

Every year, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival celebrates contemporary cultural traditions. For the 2019 edition, the focus is on the social power of music.

The music that moves FESTIVALS T he t heme of t h is ye a r ’s Smithsonian Folklife Festival, the social power of music, conjures thoughts of politically charged protest songs such as “We Shall Overcome” or “Spirits of the Revolution.” These are the songs people sing as they’re fighting for their rights or standing up for what they believe in. And certainly they’re one example of the way music can influence society, says festival director Sabrina Motley, but there are far more dimensions to the festival theme.

“It could be anything from a lullaby, because families are part of the social fabric, to a song that touches your heart when you’re at a funeral — songs that heal you,” Motley says. “We’re really thinking about the ways in which music connects us to each other, and that’s where the social power lies. There are songs of protest and outrage and all of those things, as there should be, but there are also moments of quiet

engagement and connection.”

Due to scheduling delays, this year brings a truncated version of the annual festival on the National Mall — two days, Saturday and Sunday, instead of the standard 10 days. But don’t expect the volume to be turned down on programming.

Saturday will focus on preserving D.C.’s music legacy through a pop-up in front of the Freer Gallery of Art, featuring plenty of hands-on activities and demonstrations. Participants include the DC Public Library, the Anacostia Community Museum, #DontMuteDC hashtag creator Julien Broomfield and the DC Office of Cable Television, Film, Music and Entertainment.

Visitors can bring audio tapes and learn how to digitize them, for example, or make their own punk- and go-go-inspired zines, journals and buttons. There will also be a local record label market, where visitors can interact with the people behind homegrown businesses

such as Crooked Beat Records, Electric Cowbell Records and Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.

“We’re partnering with people who are working really hard to ensure that the legacy of recorded sound and live sound in D.C. is both acknowledged and preserved,” Motley says. “It’s thinking about D.C.’s musical ecosystem in a full way.”

At 2 p.m. Saturday, the DC Bluegrass Union will host an open jam, and the public is

invited to bring their instruments. The day will close with a concert featuring the Los Angeles-based Chicano rock band Quetzal and its guests Alice Bag and La Marisoul, followed by a performance from local hip-hop artist and educator Kokayi.

Sunday is family day, kicking off with a concert honoring folk singer and social activist Pete Seeger, who would have turned 100 in May. Throughout the next six hours, prepare to get handson: Percussion educator Jonathan

Murray will lead a drum circle (instruments provided) for all ages, and there’s a maracas-making workshop, complemented by a lesson about the maraca’s role in Latin America. Make your own zine with Smithsonian illustrator and comic artist Evan Keeling, or learn about the music people listened to thousands of years ago — and then create your own innovative music-makers.

If you’re into showing off your pipes or letting loose in public, stop by the community singalongs led by the Rev. Nolan Williams Jr., a local musicologist, songwriter and producer.

“We’ll close out the day with music from Grandmaster Flash, who’s one of the pioneers of hiphop,” Motley says of the 5:00 performance on the main stage.

“He’s going to do a visual history of hip-hop for families, so people can come out and dance.”

The 2019 Folklife Festival is part of the Smithsonian’s “Year of Music” — 365 days of music or sound events, all hosted by the institution. In addition to the activities on the Mall on Saturday and Sunday, the festival is co-presenting five free concerts on the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, running Saturday through July 3. Motley recommends checking out the marimba supergroup Río Mira on Monday and “exquisite gospel singer and folklorist” Mary D. Williams on Wednesday.

The festival is also organizing — or simply recommending — events and exhibitions around D.C. throughout the summer, like the “Sound Scene XII: Amplify” interactive audio installation at the Hirshhorn Museum on Saturday and Sunday, and the permanent “Musical Crossroads” exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. “ We wa nt people on the Mall for those two days, without a doubt,” Motley says. “It’s going to be the place to be.”

You never know what’ll pop up

EXHIBITS Where other people see desolation, artist Ginny Ruffner sees hope. That was true in 1991, when she was in a car accident and told she’d never walk or talk again, and it’s true today when she hears dire warnings about impending environmental calamities.

“I’ve found that many young people are really nihilistic, really believe in that dystopian future. That’s just not me,” says Ruffner, 67, who managed to reclaim her abilities to walk and talk and — most important — to create art. “I wanted to put out that, in every kind of trauma or

horrible incident, there’s always some hope, there’s always something good.

So I thought, ‘How Ruffner can I roll this all together into something visual?’ ” What she came up with is an art installation that combines glasswork, painting, drawing and augmented reality. The piece, “Reforestation of the Imagination,” debuts at the Renwick Gallery on Friday and will be on view through Jan. 5.

At first glance, Ruffner’s installation looks like a barren

wasteland — an archipelago of brown islands rising from the floor, each landmass studded with a few glass stumps. But if you download the “Reforestation of the Imagination” app and then hold your phone or tablet up to any of the stumps, a fantastical plant springs to life on your device. This magic happens by way of hand-painted QR codes that looks like tree rings.

To learn more about the flora, visitors can consult a field guide.

The booklet, written and illustrated by Ruffner, explains the origins of the strange plants she’s dreamed up, complete with

scientific names. For instance, the flapping tulip (Liriodendrum plausus) is a pink flower with fish for leaves — the unintended but lovely result of a 21st-century gene-splicing experiment meant to increase stem flexibility.

Other imaginary plants have adapted to the Anthropocene by beguiling “human pollinators” with their beauty. The double art flower (Digitalis artherium), for instance, looks like a foxglove with modern art painted on its petals. The field guide explains that it blooms once a month, for only one evening — a gentle ribbing of the practice of having art

The ambassadors menu In D.C., everyone handles the hunger of homesickness differently. Most of us have our take-me-home go-tos, whether we’re transplants from Texas or Thailand, Ohio or Oman. That’s true even of Washington’s international ambassadors; here, 12 of them share what they eat when they get a taste for home. RICHARD MORGAN (THE WASHINGTON POST) Sweden

“Every day in Stockholm for lunch I had sushi, so I eat that a lot,” Olofsdotter says. “As part of fredagsmys [cozy Fridays] in Sweden, we have tacoskväll [taco night], so I go to Cactus Cantina often on Fridays, even though I get chicken fajitas, not tacos.

And do you know about the candy wall at Ikea? Swedes have lördagsgodis [Saturday candy].

In my house, we eat 2 pounds of candy every Saturday. I will say American Swedish Fish are better than in Sweden, but I eat mormors löständer, like gummy jelly teeth.

Sometimes people say you have to choose candy or healthy foods. This or that. No. I am a both person.”

“My staff gives me a hard time about it, but I’m a freak for Taco Bell,” Santos says. “I go to the one in Union Station because it’s near the embassy. I chow down. I get Combo No. 1: a burrito supreme and hard-shell taco with Diet Pepsi and the red packet of salsa — fire, obviously. I went to college at the University of Texas at Austin and began eating Taco Bell there. Now it reminds me of when my life was beginning and everything was new and full of ideas, for days when I have more memories than ideas. I also eat the best beef fajitas in the world at Cactus Cantina because it reminds me of a place, Jorge’s, from Austin.”

“For us, tea is almost a religion, an article of faith,” Suleymanov says.

“But it’s hard to find whole-leaf, loose-leaf tea in D.C. I go to the Blue Duck Tavern in the Park Hyatt, where the tea is excellent, and I get a kettle. I always bring someone. Even though it’s a chain, I like the lentil soup at Lebanese Taverna. They make it with spinach and lemon, exactly like in Azerbaijan. I got the whole embassy into it, and they tell me they love it, which I hope is true and not just because I am the ambassador.”

“Eating Saturday brunch with family and friends at Supra is as close as you’ll get to the experience of a traditional Georgian meal at a restaurant in D.C.,” Bakradze says. “When I miss the cooking back home, I order khachapuri, a breaded cheese boat, to share with my kids. It’s delicious and far too difficult to cook at home. And my personal all-time favorite is the appetizer plate of pkhali, which contains a variety of chopped and minced vegetables like eggplant, spinach, green beans and beets mixed with walnut sauce.”

When I was a child, people feared polio, and so my mother fed me lots of liver to keep me strong. I know liver is not for everyone, but for me it reminds me of my mother’s love.”

“For a taste of home, I like white rice with spinach stew and fried plantains,” Adjei-Barwuah says.

“Growing up, we used to call it Black Stars. It’s a dish we didn’t joke with. We really enjoyed it.

“On days when I would like to enjoy personal time with a relaxed atmosphere away from my daily busy life, I ask the embassy’s chefs to make simple and classic Japanese meals like onigiri, yakisoba and Japanese beef curry,” says Sugiyama, whose aides report that the ambassador often requests catered sushi from Sushi Ogawa, Tako Grill or Yosaku when hosting a reception. “I feel relieved when I can eat these foods that I have been familiar with since my childhood.”

Spain Santiago Cabanas, ambassador since 2018

Mongolia Otgonbayar Yondon, ambassador since 2018

“The Mongolian barbecue you know is not the same in Mongolia. So not that,” Yondon says. “Thai Eatery, which is owned by Mongolians, has a menu just for Mongolians. It’s weird. They have buuz, Mongolian steamed dumplings. We have these at Lunar New Year. They’re great especially on rainy days or cold days. But you can eat them anytime in Washington, because a cold day in Washington is not that cold for Mongolians.”

“My country’s age-old marine traditions are why I like José Andrés’ Jaleo, and Del Mar, because they prepare fish dishes brought from Spain every day, the way we enjoy it back at home,” Cabanas says. “I also like Taberna del Alabardero, the oldest Spanish restaurant in the city, a true institution. They prepare delicious rice dishes and paella, though my personal favorite is their arroz negro.”

Getting their ship together

Two years ago, Eric Schaeffer embarked on his journey to direct Signature Theatre’s world-premiere musical “Blackbeard” with a modest vision. But when he heard the tunes written for the show by composer Dana P. Rowe and lyricist John Dempsey, he set a new course. “The original idea was very minimalist,” Schaeffer says. “But the more you actually listened to the songs that they wrote — they were so epic in scope, I was like, ‘I think we need to blow this up.’ ” Signature ultimately spun a globetrotting tale about Blackbeard’s quest to raise an undead pirate army, complete with special effects, elaborate sword fights and puppetry, and an immersive pirate ship set. Schaeffer, costume designer Erik Teague and scenic designer Paul Tate dePoo III walked Express through the show’s ambitious aesthetic. THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

A sea change

A manifestation of the sea, La Mer (Maria Egler) watches from above as she encourages Blackbeard to continue his quest. “Early on she was a little bit of a mermaid, and then she became more of a sea goddess,” Teague says.

“She has multiple layers of custom-dyed silks that are cartridge-pleated to her skirt, so it looks like undulating water when she moves.”

Blending into the background

The backdrop — a wall conveying the ship’s plundering past — is engulfed in bones, pearls and fragments of gold, which were blended to create a subtly unsettling melange. “We didn’t want to just say, ‘Oh, look, there’s a skeleton,’ ” says dePoo, who tried to capture the “haunting feeling” he felt from his past experiences diving to explore shipwrecks near his hometown of Key West, Fla. “How do you pay homage to the legend of Blackbeard, the battles that were lost, the battles that were won and the treasures that were stolen? How do you do all of that scenically and not make it an eye roll?”

Bursting onto the scene

Roger, a stowaway on Blackbeard’s ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, at one point comes popping up out of a trapdoor. Because the deck is only 18 inches above the ground, actor Rory Boyd must lie flat on a mechanism that wheels him about 20 feet from backstage to the door. “Thank God he’s tiny,” Schaeffer says.

Reef madness

Cursed to existence as a living coral reef, the sea witch Dominique (Nova Y. Payton) wears a dress adorned with marine life, creating the “sense that everything is growing on her,” Schaeffer says. “Her first line is, ‘Come closer so I can see you,’ ” Teague adds. “That made me think that maybe the coral and some of her sea life has crept up her face.”

Caesar (Kevin McAllister) is based on the real West African pirate of that name. In this iteration, he’s Blackbeard’s imposing first mate, whom Schaeffer gleefully deems “a badass.” “He has very functional, fightable pirate clothing,” Teague says. “It still has a sweeping gesture to it, it’s very full, but it’s very distressed. He lives in it, he works in it, he fights in it.”

Setting sights high

The ceiling is packed with haze machines, pirate sails, ropes that the actors swing on and an array of lights (including lanterns that drop down). Those elements prove crucial to establishing each setting, as the story sails to India, Japan and even Valhalla. “The space constantly morphs,” dePoo says.

Signature Theatre, 4200 Campbell Ave., Arlington; through July 14, $40-$98.

When it came to shaping the look of Blackbeard (Chris Hoch), Teague drew from a woodcut of the real-life swashbuckler, then added flourishes of his own. “How would he have come by these clothes?” Teague asks. “I decided he would get it the way he gets anything — he steals it. So at one time, this was probably a really lavish coat that he nicked off of somebody, and has worn it into the dirt — or the sea, as it were.“

The machinations of theater

The trapdoor isn’t the set’s only hidden trick: An automated table rises from the stage, part of the deck spins as a turntable, and fog bursts out of grating in the stage. “Not only is [the set] this big piece of sculpture,” dePoo says, “it has to be this operating piece of automation.”

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

PRE R EX I ( FO EN II ASS CLA

valve when crowds get thick.)

However, I suspect the layout of the NMAAHC is the biggest culprit in its continuing congestion.

Visits to NMAAHC begin with bottleneck after bottleneck: There’s just one escalator to get to the one glass elevator to get to the beginning of the history exhibit. Then, you’re funneled into a series of narrow rooms that cover the origins of slavery and its transition from being a temporary condition to one that was lifelong and linked to another poisonous construct: race. The bottom floor’s claustrophobic spaces are perhaps meant to echo the nightmarish experience of slave ships, but they also make it tough to take in the thoughtfully presented and succinctly explained history on offer.

The history exhibits become roomier after the timeline reaches the American Revolution — a welcome respite, though it doesn’t make thematic sense. After all, while many white folks probably breathed a sigh of relief when the British retreated, the situation was as bad as ever for most enslaved people. The American Revolution exhibit also represents a rare bit of muddled storytelling in the mostly clear-eyed museum, as it never addresses the obvious question: If the British had

BEN

If you’re among the many who saw the craziness around the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture and thought, “Maybe I’ll wait until the crowds are a little thinner,” I have good news and bad. The good: As the museum approaches its third birthday, it’s not the sardine can it was during its first year. The bad: It’s still insanely crowded, especially during prime hours.

I’m a little surprised the museum still feels so packed.

Don’t get me wrong — it’s a fantastic museum, more than worthy of all the buzz. But it’s also a big museum, with 105,000 square feet of exhibit space and 517,198 visitors during the first four months of this year. Compare that with the National Portrait Gallery, which has considerably less exhibit space (57,000 square feet) and more visitors (553,116 in the same four months) — and no timed tickets or long lines.

You might argue (correctly) that portraits tend to be flat, while the NMAAHC displays some enormous, three-dimensional pieces of history, including an entire prison guard tower. (Also, the Portrait Gallery’s interior courtyard probably acts as a pressure

SS)

Move on up: A bit less crowded, still full of meaning

won, might slavery have ended sooner in America? Scholars generally hate counterfactuals, but I, for one, would love to hear what NMAAHC historians have to say about this one.

When I visited the NMAAHC a few times during its first year, crowds remained dense all the way through the history levels, and only thinned out around the cultural exhibits — which showcase African Americans’ achievements in music, sports and the visual arts, among other areas. The visual arts part of the museum is particularly nice, with high ceilings and views of the Mall. The art also provides a breath of fresh air. It’s a shame so many people stop short and end up missing showstoppers like BK Adams’ “Blue Horse,” a joyous assemblage of a sculpture, or “Grand Dame Queenie,” a characteristically vivid portrait by Baltimore’s Amy Sherald.

On a recent Friday morning, crowding wasn’t a problem.

For the first time, I was able to check out the history displays

Pro tip: Visit NMAAHC on a weekday morning, when the crowds are a bit less formidable. without having to read over my fellow visitors’ shoulders.

Perhaps that’s how I found a surprising quote from Thomas Jefferson that I had never noticed before: “Nature has given to our black brethren, talents equal to those of the other colors of men, and that the appearance of a want of them is owing merely to the degraded condition.” If Jefferson understood that, how on God’s green earth did he justify slavery? As it turns out, the museum left out the beginning (and the end) of the sentence, which was taken from a letter Jefferson wrote to the black intellectual Benjamin Banneker.

“No body wishes more than I do to see such proofs as you exhibit, that ...,” the sentence begins (and then ends with “of

their existence”). It seems that Jefferson was admitting that Banneker was a smart guy while also implying that he was the exception to the rule.

Now that’s the equivocating, flattering Jefferson I know and don’t particularly love.

Despite the crowds, and the occasional truncated quote, the NMAAHC always manages to get across its overarching view of American history as a long slog that ultimately bends toward freedom and equality. This is a hopeful storyline, one that allows us to rejoice in America’s promise even in the face of glaring failures. But as we celebrate the Fourth of July once again, I can’t help but wonder when we will extend the idea of inalienable rights to a huge group of people who have been largely left out of the discussion since Jefferson put quill to parchment: namely, those not lucky enough to have been born here.

Jawbox Jawbox was one of the most electric groups to emerge from D.C.’s prolific punk rock scene in the 1990s. The quartet reached a creative peak with its majorlabel debut “For Your Own Special Sweetheart” in 1994 (even as some fans claimed that the band sold out). Now the band’s post-hardcore sound seems as vital as it did 25 years ago — making this reunion a welcome dose of nostalgia.

The New York-based singer, who records as Helado Negro, followed up his ear-catching singles “Young, Latin and Proud” and “It’s My Brown Skin” with his sixth album, “This Is How You Smile.” The record, which dropped in March, was inspired in part by his childhood in Miami as the son of Ecuadorian immigrants.

‘Free Solo’s’ Honnold is staying grounded FILM In the aftermath of the Academy Award-winning documentary “Free Solo,” rock climber Alex Honnold is trying to get a grip on his sudden fame (he’s recognized everywhere), his image (he’s not really that aloof) and, most of all, what exactly he does next to top that spine-tingling feat.

The realization: His 2017 ropeless climb of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park that’s chronicled in the 2018 film just might be the summit of his career.

If so, he’s at peace. These days, he’s content taking a less treacherous path inside climbing gyms.

“Everybody already thinks I’ve done the best thing I’ll ever do,” Honnold says. “So I don’t feel any obligation to top that.

Even if I did top it, there would never be a better film about it.

It will never be documented in a better way. It’s just not possible to make a better film than that.

So it’s like, ‘Cool — a once-in-alifetime kind of thing.’ It’s like, ‘Let’s move on.’ ” Move on to what? That’s his hang-up. There’s no new endeavor he’s eyeing. Perhaps, at 33, he’s proceeding through life with a little more caution. He’s

The celebrated climber is still grappling with his rapid ascent to stardom

Alex Honnold, the subject of the documentary “Free Solo,” has largely stuck to climbing gyms since completing his famed ascent of El Capitan.

dating the same person he was in the film — Sanni McCandless — and has a house in Las Vegas.

“So far, I haven’t been taking the same kind of risks in climbing, but it has more to do with opportunity,” Honnold says. “I’ve been promoting the film and not out climbing crazy mountains all the time. We’ll see.”

To promote the film, directed

by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, Honnold traveled around for months. He’s now constantly recognized on subways, in grocery stores and, of course, anywhere he climbs.

He recently went back to Yosemite but didn’t dare venture out too much in public. While hiking, Honnold overheard a group in front of him discussing the movie. Then, he sped right by them.

“They’re like, ‘That’s the guy!’ ” Honnold says. “As I’m hiking by, they’re like, ‘Did you get him on the GoPro?” So is there any chance of another free solo ascent of El Capitan?

“If I had a reason to. If I was excited,” Honnold says. “Because I know I can now.” PAT GRAHAM (AP)

entertainment Critic Linda Holmes’ debut novel revels in summery escapism BOOK REVIEW “Go now, or you’ll never go,” the title character steels herself in the opening pages of “Evvie Drake Starts Over.” Evvie has a suitcase in the car and an envelope of cash in the glove compartment. She is about to leave her husband.

Then, the phone rings. Her husband, Tim, whom she’s been with “half her life,” is dead

— killed in a car accident.

So begins NPR pop culture critic Linda Holmes’ debut novel, released Tuesday.

The book paints a portrait of a 30-something widow who didn’t want to be married and asks the question: How do you grieve someone you didn’t like? Is she the monster? Or is her husband?

The doctor she married emerges only in snippets from the past and in dreams, where

‘Evvie Drake’ is a breezy new beginning

NPR pop culture critic Linda Holmes has made the jump from analyzing storytelling to creating it.

CBS renews “Blood & Treasure” for Season 2

he is manipulative and mean.

There is much to mine here, but Holmes dances around the subtext of emotional abuse.

Instead, a second (and far less compelling) lead character emerges. Dean Tenney is a Major League Baseball pitcher who can’t throw a strike anymore, and can’t figure out why. He comes to Maine to visit an old friend, moving into the empty apartment in Evvie’s house. The two become fast friends, but under strict conditions: Dean won’t ask about Evvie’s husband and Evvie won’t ask about Dean’s

baseball career.

Predictably, it doesn’t last.

The novel, set in Maine, seems destined to be read in summertime. Perhaps it’s better that the darker material never overwhelms the story. Instead, this is escapism at its finest, focused on two people who have had an abrupt change in plans and must forge a path forward.

And, inevitably, it’s a love story. The kind you can slip in and out of reading, as you would a pool, and still find yourself totally immersed. JULIE DEPENBROCK (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

@NOTLIKEYOKOONO, criticizing

Kimono Solutionwear, the name of Kim Kardashian West’s new line of shapewear. Though many people of Japanese heritage acknowledged the product’s title was a play on the reality star’s name, they lamented that a historical staple of their culture was appropriated to make money.

Kardashian West has not responded.

“I’m old enough to remember when this would have killed a politician’s career.” @WILL_BUNCH, tweeting about comments President Trump

made Wednesday that implied he was glad the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was dead. Speaking to the Faith and Freedom Coalition presumably about the failed repeal of the Affordable Care Act in the summer of 2017, Trump said “we had a little hard time” getting a couple Republicans’ support. “Fortunately, they’re gone now,” Trump said. “They’ve gone on to greener pastures — or perhaps far less green pastures.” Though some thought he could have been referring to retired GOP Sens. Jeff Flake and Bob Corker, others noted that those two voted for the repeal. McCain — whom Trump has repeatedly mocked since his August 2018 death — famously voted against it.

“My friend Travis interned at NBC 10 or eleven years ago, I’ll email him and see if he can do something.” @IAMCHRISSCOTT, joking about Tuesday’s news that beloved comedy show “The Office” will be leaving Netflix and moving to NBCUniversal’s upcoming streaming service. Netflix’s announcement that the series would be leaving the platform in January 2021 set off a chain of Twitter users tweeting gifs from the show in the replies. Even more lamented that too many streaming services could push viewers back to using piracy to watch shows.

“It’s not about visiting the White House, it’s about visiting the man in the White House. Megan Rapinoe loves this country.” @DGCOMEDY, defending the U.S. soccer star after she said in a May interview that she wasn’t “going to the f------ White House” if asked by President Trump. Trump on Wednesday tweeted that Rapinoe should “finish the job” before she talks, and then invited the team “win or lose.” She’s also faced backlash for not singing the national anthem during the World Cup, though she hasn’t done so since 2016.

Rapper Cardi B was arraigned Tuesday on new felony charges in connection with a fight last year at a New York City strip club. “Not guilty, sir, honor,” she said. The rapper was dressed in a dark blue and light pink pantsuit with her hair tinted blue as she pleaded in state court to two counts of attempted assault and various misdemeanor charges, including harassment, criminal solicitation, conspiracy and reckless endangerment. Cardi B had originally been charged only with misdemeanors, but prosecutors presented the case to a grand jury after she rejected a plea deal (AP)
