PARENT-TEACHER CONFRONTATION
School Assumes All Parents Are Used to Being Ripped Off A Manhattan couple is suing a private school, claiming it tricked them into bidding $50,000 for a finger painting, the New York Post reports. Michelle-Marie and Jon Heinemann say they instructed the Cathedral School of St. John the Divine to bid on their behalf at a school auction until they won the art. They claim it should have sold for no more than $3,000 but instead went for $50,000. Their son no longer attends the school. (EXPRESS) CATCH OF THE CENTURY

Snowden’s Father Praises Son’s Actions NSA leaker is a modern-day Paul Revere, his dad says McLean, Va. The father of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, frustrated by his inability to reach out directly to his son, on Tuesday wrote him an open letter, extolling him for “summoning the Ameri-
can people to confront the growing danger of tyranny.” The letter was written jointly by Lon Snowden and his lawyer, Bruce Fein. It comes a day after Edward Snowden issued a statement through WikiLeaks ripping the Obama administration for leaving him “stateless” and revoking his passport. Snowden is in Russia and has applied for asylum in Venezuela, Bolivia and 18 other countries, according to WikiLeaks.
Snowden’s father has expressed concern that WikiLeaks supporters who have been helping his son seek asylum may not have his best interests at heart, adding he’d like his son to be able to return to the U.S. under the right circumstances. In the letter, Fein and the father tell Snowden that he is “a modern day Paul Revere: summoning the American people to confront the growing danger of tyranny and one branch government.”

Major Requirement of Health-Care Law Delayed
Justice Dept.: Hospitals To Pay $34M Settlement
The Obama administration says it’s delaying a major part of the president’s health-care overhaul law, the requirement that medium and large companies offer coverage. In an announcement late Tuesday from the Treasury Department, the administration said it has heard requests from business groups for additional time to comply and will grant another year. The health law requires companies with 50 or more workers to offer affordable coverage to their employees or face potentially large fines if just one worker ends up getting taxpayer-subsidized insurance.

Lon Snowden said Friday that his son had technically broken the law but was not a traitor and was motivated by legitimate concerns. Fein said he hopes the letter can help focus the public on the debate that Snowden initially hoped to foster when he leaked details about surveillance programs. That debate over the proper role of surveillance in American society “is being obscured by the debate on where to seek asylum.” MAT THEW BAR AK AT (AP)

Morsi Stands Firm as Egypt Roils
In Brief
Leader rejects calls to resign as army’s interim plan surfaces
VATICAN CITY
Report: Pope John Paul II Poised to Become Saint Pope John Paul II has cleared the final obstacle to becoming a saint, awaiting just the final approval from Pope Francis and a John Paul II date for the ceremony, which could come as soon as Dec. 8, a Vatican official and news reports said Tuesday. The ANSA news agency reported that a commission met Tuesday to consider John Paul’s case and signed off on it. (AP) KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Brazen Bombing Kills 7 Near NATO Supplier Taliban attackers set off a truck bomb early Tuesday and killed five security guards and two nearby truck drivers at a NATO supplier’s compound in Kabul, the latest in a series of bold attacks on high-profile targets in the Afghan capital. The attacks have driven home that the Taliban have no intention of ending the violence, though they have indicated they are willing to talk peace. (AP) BAGHDAD
Wave of Attacks Kills 53 Insurgents unleashed a new wave of attacks on Tuesday in Iraq, killing at least 53 people, officials said, the latest in a surge in violence that has raised concerns over a return to sectarian bloodshed. Also, seven militants were killed. There was no claim of responsibility for the attacks, mostly in Shiite areas. (AP)
Cairo With the clock ticking, besieged Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said Tuesday that he will not step down as state media reported that the military plans to overturn his Islamist-dominated government if the elected leader doesn’t meet the demands of the millions of protesters calling for his ouster. Morsi’s defiant statement sets up a major confrontation between supporters of the president and Egyptians angry over what they see as his efforts to impose con-
trol by his Muslim Brotherhood as well as his failure to introduce reforms more than two years after the revolution that ousted his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak. On his official Twitter account, Morsi said he “asserts his adherence to constitutional legitimacy and rejects any attempt to breach it.” The leaking of the military’s socalled political road map appeared aimed at adding pressure on Morsi by showing that the military has a plan that does not involve a coup. The army has insisted it has no intention to take power. But its reported road map showed it was ready to make a sweeping change. At least seven people were killed Tuesday in three separate clashes
Ireland Advances Abortion Bill Dublin Ireland appeared on course to legalize abortion in extremely restricted circumstances as lawmakers voted Tuesday to support a bill that would permit pregnancies to be terminated when deemed necessary to save the woman’s life. Catholic leaders warned that the proposed law, which faces a final vote next week, would become a “Trojan horse” leading eventually to widespread abortion access in Ireland. But Prime Minister Enda Kenny insisted Ireland’s constitutional ban on abortion would remain unaf-
U.S. Weighs In Fearing an implosion that could throw Egypt into chaos, U.S. officials said Washington has suggested to Mohammed Morsi that he call early elections, though they underlined they were not demanding specific steps — and they said they had stressed to Egypt’s military that a coup would have consequences for U.S. aid. But a Morsi adviser denied that Washington asked Morsi to call for early presidential elections. (AP)
between Morsi’s supporters and opponents in Cairo, according to hospital officials. The violence raised the death toll to 23 since Sunday, when a mass protest marked the
anniversary of Morsi’s inauguration. Protesters on Tuesday turned to a new target, massing outside Cairo’s Qasr el-Qobba presidential palace, where Morsi has been working, in addition to filling avenues outside another palace, Tahrir Square and squares in cities nationwide. Mo r s i ’s s u p p o r t e r s a l s o increased their presence, after his Muslim Brotherhood and hardline Islamist leaders urged them to defend what they say is the legitimacy of Egypt’s first freely elected president. Tens of thousands held marches in Cairo and other cities. With the clock ticking on the military’s ultimatum, many in the anti-Morsi and pro-Morsi camps were vowing to fight to the end.

Thanksgiving Lite? Folks escaping town for the 4th likely won’t face fearsome traffic Washington With the Independence Day holiday falling on a Thursday, many people will be making a four-day weekend of it. But it’s unlikely this will result in a Thanksgiving-style getaway today. One of the factors that makes t he T hank sgiv ing escape so dramatic is that many families wait until the kids get out of school or the workday ends before they leave the D.C. region. This week,
most students already have begun their summer vacations, and many of their parents will be taking the entire week off. During my online discussion last Monday, several t r ave ler s joi ne d me in speculating about this coming Friday’s traffic. I think Friday will be a better-than-normal travel day for both commuters and weekenders, because so many people will already have gotten where they’re going. Today’s afternoon traffic should be heavy, but not as fearsome as

would replace Ellerbe should he be elected mayor. In an April WAMU-FM interview, Ellerbe acknowledged the controversies that have plagued his tenure and said he expected to be held accountable: “I don’t believe that if my performance fails that I will still have a job,” Ellerbe said. Mayor Vincent Gray’s administration continues to back the chief. Deputy Mayor Paul Quander said in a statement Tuesday that the department “is in a much better position” than it was when Ellerbe took over.

Cover Story
Conceal and Carry-Ons? More passengers are trying to bring guns onto flights, TSA says Washington Several times every day, at airports across the country, passengers are trying to walk through security with loaded guns in their carry-on bags, purses or pockets, even in a boot. And, nearly a dozen years after 9/11, it’s happening a lot more often. In the first six months of this year, Transportation Security Administration screeners found 894 guns on passengers or in their carry-on bags, a 30 percent increase over the same period last year. The TSA set a record in May for the most guns seized in one week — 65 in all, 45 of them loaded and 15 with bullets in the chamber. That was 30 percent more than the previous record of 50 guns, set just two weeks earlier. Last year, TSA found 1,549 firearms on passengers attempting to go through screening, up 17 percent from the year before. TSA didn’t keep statistics on guns intercepted before 2011, but officials have noticed an upward trend in recent years, said spokesman David Castelveter. Some of the details make officials shake their heads. Take, for example, the instance of one passenger who took off his jacket to go through screening in Sacramento, Calif., last year. TSA officers noticed he was wearing a shoulder holster, and in it was a loaded 9 mm pistol. The same passenger was found to have three more loaded pistols, 192 rounds of ammunition, two magazines and three knives. Or how about the passenger in Allentown, Pa., who was carrying

Airports in PHX the South and the West, where 54 American gun culture is strongest, Roswell, N.M. had the greatest number of guns intercepted, according to TSA data. When expressed as a proportion of airport traffic volume, small airports in the West and South led the way.

What Are the Rules? Passengers are allowed to take guns with them when they fly, but only as checked baggage. They are required to fill out a form declaring the weapons and carry them in a hard-sided bag with a lock. (AP)
What Are the Repercussions? Many passengers found to have guns by screeners are arrested, but not all. It depends on the gun laws where the airport is located. If the state or jurisdiction where the airport is located has tolerant gun laws, TSA screeners will frequently hand the gun back to the passenger and recommend locking it in a car or finding some other safe place for it. The government doesn’t track what happens to the people who are arrested. (AP)
a pistol designed to look like a pen. The passenger later acknowledged it was a gun, according to TSA. TSA doesn’t believe these guntoting passengers are terrorists, but the agency can’t explain why so many passengers try to board planes with guns, Castelveter said. The most common excuse? “I forgot it was there.” Occa siona l ly, pa ssengers stopped by TSA are people who
are used to carrying guns because they work in law enforcement, security or the military, but that doesn’t appear to be the case most of the time. “We don’t analyze the behavioral traits of people who carry weapons. We’re looking for terrorists,” Castelveter said. “But sometimes you have to scratch your head and say, ‘Why?’ ” Is it plausible that some people

are so used to carrying guns that they simply forget that they have them, even when they’re at an airport about to walk through a scanner? Or do some people try to bring their guns with them because they think they won’t get caught? Jimmy Taylor, a sociology professor at Ohio University-Zanesville, said some gun owners are so used to carrying concealed weapons that it’s no different to them
than carrying a wallet. Even so, Taylor said he finds it hard to believe airline passengers forget they’re carrying guns. “My wife and I check on things like eye drops and Chapstick to see if we’re allowed to take them on a plane, so it’s a little difficult to imagine that you aren’t checking the policies about your loaded firearm before you get to the airport,” he said.

Offense Could Use a Lift
ALASTAIR GRANT (AP)
It took only two pitches for Bryce Harper to get back to his normal self. In his first game off the disabled list, the 20-year-old outfielder crushed the second pitch he saw over the left-field wall in Monday’s 10-5 win over the Brewers. Harper missed 31 games with bursitis in his left knee. “You never want to sit out and not be a part of [the team],” Harper said on Monday. Washington’s offense has struggled all year, but here are five reasons Harper’s return will kick-start the Nationals. JASON BUTT (FOR EXPRESS)

Brings Energy
Adds Consistency
Produces Wins
Shifts Momentum
The young phenom brings a certain excitement each time he steps up to the plate. Harper’s done a much better job staying patient this season, waiting to get the pitch he sees fit to take a crack at. When Harper gets a hold of a pitch, the Nationals and fans feed off of that energy, unlike with any other player on the roster.
Harper has been hitless in only 17 of the 45 games he’s played. Among Nationals players with at least 35 games played, Harper has the highest batting average (.286) and on-base percentage (.387). In addition, his bat should help an offense that has struggled to provide run support for its talented rotation.
Stabilizes the Lineup
Washington could have used Harper over the previous month. Excluding Sunday’s 13-run outburst, the Nats averaged 3.56 runs a game in June. Entering Tuesday’s game, the Nationals were 26-18 when Harper starts and 16-22 when he doesn’t. When the rest of the team is down, the young slugger can pick them up.
Fans inside Nationals Park were wondering what would happen in Harper’s first at-bat back from the DL. And like he did on opening day, when he hit two home runs, Harper didn’t disappoint on Monday. He showed again that it takes only one swing for him to get the momentum rolling for this young Nationals team.

The Nationals’ offense has been inconsistent all season, but it might be starting to heat up: The team scored 10 runs in Harper’s first game back. With Harper batting third, Jayson Werth can hit second, giving the club power from spots two through six in the lineup.
Combined runs scored by the Nationals on Sunday and Monday. It was the first time all season that Washington had double-digit runs in back-to-back games, and the 13-2 win over the Mets on Sunday was the Nats’ largest margin of victory all year. Washington entered Tuesday averaging 3.7 runs a game this season — 26th best in the majors. (E XPRESS)
Showing no drop-off after her dramatic victory over Serena Williams, the 23rd-seeded Sabine Lisicki returned Tuesday and made quick work of a much less intimidating opponent, 46th-ranked Kaia Kanepi, dispatching her 6-3, 6-3 in 65 minutes to advance to her second career Wimbledon semifinal. Also on Tuesday, No. 15 Marion Bartoli eliminated the last remaining American singles player, beating Sloane Stephens 6-4, 7-5 in a match halted with Stephens serving, down 5-4 at deuce. After the delay, Bartoli came out and won two points to secure the first set. Soon after, she was showered with boos because she had asked the umpire to stop the match in the first set when it started sprinkling on Court 1. EDDIE PELLS (AP)

Despite coming off another D.C. United loss, manager Ben Olsen was impressed with his team’s effort during a stretch of three games in seven days. D.C. United (2-12-3) had a season-high 22 shots in a 1-0 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday. But effort can go only so far when chances aren’t winding up in the back of the net. In the run of play (excluding penalty kicks), United has not scored a league goal since Kyle Porter’s tally in a May 19 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City — a span of six games. “I had a group of men that fought their tails off, and they’re gutted,” Olsen said after Saturday’s loss. “I asked them to give me everything this week. I pushed

guys to the limit with three games, [including] an Open Cup [game], and they gave it to me today. They gave me everything they had.” Now United faces two matches across the country in a five-day span. It takes on a rested and vaunted Seattle Sounders side tonight before heading to Colorado for a weekend clash with the Rapids on Sunday night. United will be considerably shorthanded, at least for the clash with the Sounders. The attack will be limited with the injured Nick DeLeon (ankle) and Dwayne De Rosario (hip flexor) being ruled out for the match. Goalkeeper Bill Hamid is off on U.S. national team duty and could be out the remainder of the month, as the CONCACAF Gold Cup extends through July 28. AVI CREDITOR (FOR E XPRESS)

One of the best things about “the New U” is U Street Music Hall, a small, DJ-run club that has become a magnet for incredible hip-hop and DJ acts you never thought you’d see.

The guy turned a NYC street gang into a worldwide hip-hop ambassadorship program spreading the genre around the world through his Universal Zulu Nation. His last record came out in 2006, but his skills and his legacy are more than enough to encourage your attendance.

The legendary hip-hop group the Furious 5 will perform early classics “The Message, “White Lines” and “Scorpio” at the Howard Theatre, but fans should note that there will be one major omission from the show. Grandmaster Flash, the DJ whose name is synonymous with the group of emcees, is not part of this reunion tour, which celebrates the band’s 35th anniversary. Fans will, however, get to hear rhymes from the four surviving Furious 5 rappers: Grandmaster Mele Mel, Scorpio, The Kidd Creole and Rahiem. (Robert Keith “Cowboy” Wiggins passed away in 1989.)

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WOMEN IN THE ARTS
In the early 1960s, when New York galleries were fighting over Warhol’s soup cans and Lichtenstein’s comic panels, Harlem artist Faith Ringgold was quietly making some of the most revolutionary art around. Though she was snubbed by galleries at the time, her early paintings, which depict the personal side of the civil rights movement, are now on display at the National Museum of Women in the Arts exhibit “American People, Black Light.” “I wanted to tell my story, being an African-American woman living in America at this time,” says Ringgold. “I was determined to do it, not realizing what it would cost me.” That included being overlooked by critics, snubbed by dealers and running afoul of the police. In 1970, Ringgold and two fellow artists were arrested and charged with desecrating the American flag by putting on a show featuring a variety of flag art — including Ringgold’s painting of a flag with the words “Die N----r” hidden in the stars and stripes. She lost the case but raised about $60,000 to help other artists and protesters with their legal fees. “We … were able to contribute that money to young people all over the country who were fighting for their freedom of speech,” Ringgold says. Ringgold eventually found critical acclaim with her “story quilts” — grids of fabric sewn to canvas, painted and sometimes captioned. With this exhibit, however, the 82-yearold artist’s early work finally gets its due. SADIE DINGFELDER (E XPRESS)

‘American People #17: The Artist and His Model’
‘American People #1: Between Friends’
Ringgold’s daughter Michele Wallace calls this 1966 painting “an uncanny self-portrait in disguise” in the exhibit’s catalog. The absence of a black woman in the painting highlights the fact that, at the time, many people expected artists to be male and models white, Wallace writes. Ringgold remembers being discouraged from depicting black people at all. “When I painted my first black face in college, my teacher said, ‘What is this exotic painting you are doing?’ And I said, ‘What’s exotic about painting a black face? I have them at home, in my house, on my mother, my father.’ ”
Inspiration for this 1963 work struck Ringgold as she watched interracial crowds gather for card games at her neighbor’s house. In this painting, Ringgold illustrates the intangible divide between apparent friends by separating them with beams of wood. “They were friends, but there was a cross between them. They went to separate churches … they could only get so close,” Ringgold says.
“I wanted to tell my story, being an AfricanAmerican woman living in America at this time.”
ON THE COVER ‘American People #18: The Flag Is Bleeding’ It “felt creepy” to depict blood on the American flag in this 1967 painting, but she had to do it, Ringgold says. After all, civil rights protesters were being beaten on the streets and blown away by fire hoses. “We didn’t get to see the violence that was going on in the cities. We didn’t get to see it in the newspapers, they didn’t make photographs of it, and we weren’t getting the true story of how much blood was being shed.”

The D.C. Hip-Hop Theater Festival, now in its 12th year, is still a festival, and it still includes hip-hop. The theater part is debatable: Of the 11 events on this year’s slate, none is a traditional theater piece. “Theater is performance, and there’s performance throughout every single event,” says artistic director Kamilah Forbes, a Howard University alum who got involved with D.C.’s hip-hop community while working as an actress. “I want to redefine the language: What is theater? What is storytelling?” To that end, she’s arranged a diverse group of events (Sunday through July 14; go to hi-artsnyc.org for the schedule). FIONA ZUBLIN (E XPRESS) Wall-Encompassing “When we talk about the main elements of hip-hop culture, we’re talking about DJing, MCing, break dancing and graffiti,” Forbes says. “Art in public spaces is a social and political statement, and when hip-hop was a burgeoning culture, art was taken out of the schools and kids were left to create art wherever they could.” “The Walls Belong to Us” pairs muralists (such as Chilean artist Cekis, whose work is heavily inspired by the graffiti culture of New York and by socially conscious street art) with local graffiti artists to create public art throughout the city that’s on view all month. Various locations; throughout July, free; hi-artsnyc.org.

All Aboard the Magic Bus The Polyphonic Spree is not a cult. It is merely a giant, large, huge, enormous band Music Everything about The Polyphonic Spree is big. The band is big. The sound is big. Its overwhelming positivity is big. The lull between the band’s previous record and its most recent — six years — was big. Biggest of all is the band’s ambition: The Spree is the size of five bands, with expenses so crushing that frontman Tim DeLaughter and his wife have mortgaged their house twice. The group recorded its newest album without a label. Instead, it used Kickstarter to fund “Yes, It’s True,” out Aug. 6.
On Saturday, 18 be-robed members of The Spree (including five founders) will pile into Sixth and I Synagogue and play a slew of instruments — including guitars, French horns and theremins — presuming there’s room for all of them.
On the band-or-cult debate
“We were having to use tables and chairs to make the stage four times its size using objects around the club.”
“Some of it was sloppy journalism,” says DeLaughter, sighing. “All of a sudden, the band is this cult.” The robes were meant to present The Spree as a unit. “We got a lot of press because of the way we looked,” he says.
no recreation areas. DeLaughter says it’s better than previous buses, which were so cramped some members quit the band.

On ‘Yes, It’s True’ Over the past several years, members of the band have regularly hung out to jam all night. Those jams served as the basis for the new record — filled with electronica, psychedelic sounds and the orchestral pop the band’s known for — which DeLaughter thinks might be The Spree’s most polished yet. “I usually can’t stand listening to my records,” he says. “But this thing, I listened to repeatedly for quite some time.” TR AVIS ANDREWS (FOR E XPRESS)

There’s a weird, Christmas tree-looking thing with legs and a bunny topper haunting the Hirshhorn. Missouriborn artist Nick Cave’s “Soundsuit” is one of the more experimental works in the museum’s “Over, Under, Next: Experiments in Mixed Media, 1913–Present” group show, on view through Sept. 18. The show features artwork from Smithsonian collections that “examine how mixed-media art has evolved since 1913, when French painter and sculptor [Georges] Braque and Picasso first experimented with collage,” says associate curator Evelyn Hankins. The Cave sculpture, from 2009, is one of the most recent mixed-media works added to the museum’s collection.

Cave has been working with suits like this since the late ’80s. They are made to be worn, even danced in. (Cave, 54, trained as a dancer at Alvin Ailey’s school in New York, and he has worked with dancers and choreographers to stage performances featuring his works in galleries.) The piece generates noise via jingling components — including dozens of vintage baskets, each one made of tiny, beaded safety pins. “When it becomes activated, the sound component comes in,” Hankins says. “Imagine each one of those pins and beaded baskets beginning to jangle.” (The suit is not “activated” on display.) It rests on a mannequin wearing a bodysuit festooned with sequins. That — or a human wearer — supports the metal frame.

FILM RIFFS DISNEY ENTERPRISES INC.
Johnny Depp rides the rails as Tonto in “The Lone Ranger.”
‘The Lone Ranger’ gallops into theaters today atop Silver, his trusty steed. Heroes get all the credit, but Silver and his four-footed buddies defy the neigh-sayers (GET IT?) with tricks of their own. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)
1 Black Beauty In the 1971 film of the same name, the stallion’s idyllic life turns tough when his first handler dies. Black Beauty has to work in a circus, pull a cab and deal with the fact he has a really uncreative name.
2 Joey In Steven Spielberg’s 2011 war-ishell film “War Horse,” this farm horse travels the world and gets shot at a lot when he’s conscripted into the British Army in WWI. Suddenly, plowing fields back in Britain doesn’t look so bad.
3 Lightning Sonora (Gabrielle Anwar) takes her horse and runs away from home in 1991’s “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken.” Instead of heading for the circus, she joins a horse diving show, which is exactly what it sounds like. We didn’t call the Humane Society for comment, but we can guess what they’d say.
4 Hidalgo In 2004’s “Hidalgo,” Viggo Mortensen plays a cowboy who figures, hey, might as well take my horse and enter an insanely difficult cross-desert horse race. No one, we noticed, asked Hidalgo what he thought of this idea.
DISNEY ENTERPRISES, INC.
Stable Heroes
A Runaway Train Johnny Depp and the ‘Pirates’ team send this ‘Lone Ranger’ reboot spinning off the rails Film Review There’s a limit to how much Johnny Depp and a bucket of makeup can accomplish. In “The Lone Ranger,” Gore Verbinski’s flamboyant re-imagination of the hokey long-running radio show and ’50s cowboy TV series, Depp eagerly attempts to re-create the extravagant magic of his similarly farcical Jack Sparrow of Verbinski’s “Pirates of the Caribbean.” With cracked white and black streaks down his face and a dead crow atop his head, Depp’s Tonto appears more witch doctor than warrior. One would think that a so-costumed Depp careening through the Old West with Buster Keaton aplomb would make “The Lone Ranger,” at worst, entertaining. But Verbinski’s film, stretching hard to both reinvent an out-of-date brand and breathe new life in the Western with a
desperate onslaught of bloated set pieces, is a poor locomotive for Depp’s eccentric theatrics. For 149 minutes, the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced “Lone Ranger” inflates, subverts and distorts the conventions of the Western until, in an interminable climax, the big-budget spectacle finally, exhaustingly collapses in a scrap heap of train wreckage. The film begins with an elderly, leathery Tonto (an unrecognizable Depp) at a 1933 San Francisco fair, where the old Native American regales a young, masked Lone Ranger fan about his adventures with John Reid (Armie Hammer). Tonto plays the starring role in this story, narrating a tall tale of his coming together with Reid, a district attorney who arrives in the frontier town of
‘The Lone Ranger’ (PG-13)
Director: Gore Verbinski Stars: Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, William Fichtner In a Nutshell: Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.
Colby, Texas, with high ideals of justice and a copy of John Locke’s “Treatise on Government” under his arm. The lawman is made a Texas Ranger when the criminal Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) escapes. The pursuit takes on urgency when Cavendish massacres the rest of the Rangers, leaving Reid and Tonto to navigate a familiar mid-19th century Old West — the coming railroad, mining development and Indian warfare — with familiar types including the intrepid tycoon Latham Cole (Tom Wilkinson) and a one-legged madam (Helena Bonham Carter). Unfortunately, Verbinski has already directed Depp in a far better Western: “Rango,” where he played a cartoon lizard. JAKE COYLE (AP)
‘Ranger’ Danger Stepping into Clayton Moore’s boots, the tall, baritone Armie Hammer, left, never looks at ease. While he exudes the Lone Ranger’s earnest wholesomeness, he’s understandably an uncertain straight man alongside Johnny Depp’s slapstick. Having to wear a white Stetson and mask in his first starring role feels like yet another humiliation for the Winklevoss twins Hammer memorably played in “The Social Network.” (AP)

‘Family Tools’ Tony (J.K. Simmons) advises Jack (Kyle Bornheimer) on fighting back against the “bug guys,” but he insists on standing up to their bullying on his own. Aunt Terry (Leah Remini) enters an art show determined to take home first prize. ‘Franklin & Bash’ Rachel (Heather Locklear, right) makes a bet with Peter and Jared on which case will bring the firm better publicity — their “pirate law”based defense of a fisherman or her wrongful termination case involving a self-described psychic.
‘Mystery Diners’ The owner of Buttons Restaurant in Texas asks Charles for help when he starts hearing complaints that his manager, a military veteran, is too strict. Ben, Justin and Nicole go in as customers and learn that the staff is about ready to mutiny. ‘Futurama’ Bender wants to be just like his idol, a folk singer who has been to jail 30 times. But he needs a guitar just like his. After failing to steal the original from a maximum security lockup, he tries to make a copy using a 3-D printer. (TRIBUNE MEDIA)

CANCER (June 21-July 22) A one-way situation suddenly opens up and offers you more options than expected. You and a friend communicate in a new way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll receive news from someone who seems to know better than you what really matters to you at this time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A smile does more for you today than a frown. You may not know where the road is leading, but the view certainly pleases you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The time has come for you to foot the bill for something you should have paid for quite some time ago. It’s a good day to mend your ways.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll understand what is at stake today, but you may feel confined by rules that don’t seem to suit the times. Change them! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll be feeling better than expected today, especially given the complicated circumstances that you are now facing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may not know what to think when an old friend comes to you with a very surprising request. The best thing to do is play along. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Travel plans may have to change as a result of a sudden development on the home front. This requires a postponement, not a cancellation.
