INFAMOUS ISLAND

A total solar eclipse late Tuesday afternoon turned day into night in a large swath of Latin America’s southern cone, including much of Chile and Argentina. Here is the eclipse as seen from La Silla Observatory in La Higuera, Chile.

Police in Spring Hill, Tenn., have been searching for the owner of a large cow spotted wandering in a suburban neighborhood. In video posted to Twitter by the Spring Hill Police Department early Tuesday, the cow is seen wandering placidly down the sidewalk past homes and parked cars. “Does anybody know what type of dog this is?” the department tweeted. “It went for a walk … if this is your dog, give us a call.” (EXPRESS)

Powers found the book in a storage box last year. He’d borrowed it while living in Hawaii, and it came with him when he left. Powers handed the book over along with a letter. He’d expected to pay a hefty fine, but there was no penalty. (AP)

An island made famous by the ill-fated Fyre Festival is for sale, Forbes reported Sunday. For just $11.8 million, the lucky buyer will get Saddleback Cay, a beautiful 35-acre private island located in the Exumas, a 365-island chain in the Bahamas. Forbes notes that while Saddleback Cay was prominently featured in the promo video for Fyre Festival, the “festival” itself happened on another island, Great Exuma. Close enough? (EXPRESS)

A simpler way to get hitched CULTURE When he spotted the small white fountain in downtown D.C., Scott Bovarnick knew it was where he wanted to marry Lucille Convery. “This is pretty,” he said, turning to Convery, 27. She knew what he was really asking. “Yes, let’s get married here,” she said. Five minutes later — after Bovarnick, 26, gave a short speech thanking a half-dozen guests, signed a piece of paper and kissed Convery twice — the two were married. Well, almost: They still had to walk back to the nearby H. Carl Moultrie Courthouse to file the paperwork. Bride, groom, loving onlookers, vows of devotion — all there. But on a recent sunny Monday morning by the Andrew M. Mellon Memorial Fountain, there was no minister, priest, rabbi, judge or third-party officiant. Bovarnick and Convery, who live in the District, opted for a “self-uniting marriage,” in which one member of the couple getting married acts as the officiant.

In D.C., some couples are choosing to officiate their own weddings

Scott Bovarnick, 26, right, officiated his own wedding ceremony with Lucille Convery, 27. The couple wed last month outdoors in the District.

In their case, it was Bovarnick, meaning he signed the light-blue piece of paper provided by D.C. Superior Court. This kind of wedding is legal in a handful of states, and the marriages are legally recognized everywhere. The District began allowing self-uniting marriages in 2014. Although the D.C. Marriage Bureau said it does not track the number of self-uniting marriages performed in the District, wedding planner Starlene Joyner

Burns said they have risen in popularity. “I am seeing a change in how people are getting married,” she said. “And I see people come from all over.” Scott Stanley, a professor at the University of Denver who studies marriage and commitment, said the trend “gives an angle to people who are less religiously inclined.” He also said it offers an affordable alternative, when the national average price tag of a wedding last year clocked in at $33,931, according to The Knot’s 2018 Real Weddings Study. Bovarnick and Convery, who are Jewish and Catholic, respectively, did not choose a selfuniting wedding because they wanted to avoid religion. The two had planned to marry in Croatia, but didn’t realize that obtaining a marriage license outside the U.S. was complicated. On the morning they were slated to leave for Croatia, they headed to the courthouse to marry before a judge. They switched their plans when a clerk told them about self-uniting weddings. “I love the adventure of it,” Bovarnick said. HANNAH NATANSON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A guide to July 4 in D.C. Expect street closures, packed Metro trains, lavish fireworks, protests and more WASHINGTON Thousands of people are expected to be in the nation’s capital Thursday for Fourth of July celebrations and protests, events that will present travel challenges for visitors and residents. Drivers should expect daylong street closures. If you’re planning to use Metro — and you should — plan for long waits at stations and crowded platforms and trains. Have a plan, be ready to walk and have lots of patience. Here’s what you need to know.

President Trump pushed for a display of military tanks to complement his July 4 “Salute to America.”

‘Baby Trump’ gets permit, but not to fly

The events

Metro Trains will run from 7 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Parts of the Yellow and Blue lines will continue to be closed for scheduled track work. Some stations may be entryonly and exit-only to move people through the system. Be prepared to walk to another station in the event this happens. The Smithsonian station is the closest Metro station to the Mall, but it gets very crowded during big events. To avoid the

expressline

Fireworks affect flights Air traffic to and from National Airport will be grounded for more than two hours Thursday, from 6:15 to 7:45 p.m., for the flyover of military jets, and again, from 9 to 9:45 p.m., to accommodate the extended fireworks show. Airport officials say they anticipate flight delays during the late afternoon and evening. Officials at the Federal Aviation Administration said roughly 87 flights will be affected. (TWP)

The National Independence Day Parade will travel on Constitution Avenue N W from Seventh to 17th streets NW from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. President Trump will address the nation from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Gates open at 3:30 p.m. The annual “A Capital Fourth” concert on the U.S. Capitol West Lawn, from 8 to 9:30 p.m., includes performances from Carole King, the National Symphony Orchestra and the Muppets. Fireworks will launch at 9:07 p.m. from behind the Lincoln Memorial and at 9:22 from West Potomac Park. (The display will be canceled in case of heavy rain or storms, the Park Service says.)

Load or buy SmarTrip cards ahead of time to avoid long lines. Off-peak fares will be in effect. Parking at Metro lots and garages will be free all day. The bus system will operate on a Saturday schedule. Road closures near the Mall will affect service on nearby routes

Mall. The Ninth Street and 12th Street tunnels will also close.

Road closures D.C. police and the National Park Service have a long list of road closures that will begin at about 4 a.m. Thursday. A few highlights: The Arlington Memorial Bridge will close not only to vehicular traffic this year but also pedestrian traffic, which would complicate travel for visitors arriving from Northern Virginia who would have walked from Arlington to the

Precedent No president has been part of a Fourth of July celebration on the Mall in recent memory.

Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax resigns from law firm, which found no misconduct during his tenure

WASHINGTON The surly, flying orange balloon known as “Baby Trump” has received an invitation to the Fourth of July celebration in Washington, thanks to a permit from the National Park Service. Activist group Code Pink will station the imported balloon near the Washington Monument for 15 hours during the day’s festivities. But the permit won’t allow Baby Trump to fly. The Park Service indicated protesters can’t use helium to fill the blimp, which has soared above London when Trump visited. Instead, the agency said, air could be used. The balloon will bob along the ground, tethered west of the Washington Monument. “It is ironic that it is right here, in the ‘land of the free,’ the balloon is being grounded,” Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin said in a statement. Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst cited downtown D.C.’s no-fly zone for keeping the balloon grounded. “We can’t have a balloon that, if it were to come untethered, would take flight,” Litterst said. Protesters don’t typically gather during the July 4 festivities. As many as 500 people are expected to attend Code Pink’s protest. More than a dozen other groups and individuals have requested Mall space for activities like making cards for troops, leading meditations, and preaching. MARISSA J. LANG (TWP)

Lawmaker probed over ethics still likely to lose role as committee chair POLITICS D.C. Council member Jack Evans on Tuesday tried to save his committee chairmanship and dispel his colleagues’ concerns about a blistering ethics probe. But lawmakers stood by plans to discipline him, and some said Evans made matters worse.

Evans, D-Ward 2, said the council should not punish him before ongoing investigations end. The FBI recently searched his home, and Evans resigned from the Metro board after an investigative report that accused him of multiple ethics violations. “I simply ask for a pause to slow this rush to judgment until all the facts are known and my side is heard,” said Evans, the District’s longest-serving council member. “When all is reviewed

prominent companies with interests before the D.C. government. But none of his colleagues appeared swayed by his arguments Tuesday. Some skipped the meeting because Evans was not under

oath, while others objected to his refusal to answer questions about potential conflicts of interest he had as a council member. “I did not see answers that calmed the members, and I understand why there were answers that were not provided, but that’s certainly not calming,” Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, D, said after the meeting. “What’s most troubling to me is the distrust has grown.” Mendelson still plans to hold a vote next week to remove Evans as chairman of the Committee on Finance and Revenue and to hire an outside law firm to investigate Evans.

Police are investigating the Washington Hebrew Congregation school.

Violations found at D.C. preschool

State office says children weren’t properly supervised amid sex abuse accusations EDUCATION D.C. education officials have ordered Washington Hebrew Congregation to address multiple policy violations by staff and administrators at its preschool following allegations that a staff member sexually abused children at the school last year. In a letter to the Northwest D.C. school last month, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) said the school failed to ensure the safety of its children, failed to properly supervise children and failed to comply with reporting requirements. It said the school’s director “failed to properly supervise staff and manage the operations of the facility, and as a result, failed to properly supervise children.” The temple informed parents and its community that it learned of the alleged sexual abuse of young children at the school Aug. 15, 2018. OSSE began its investigation that month. A D.C. Police investigation of the staff member is ongoing. The congregation is facing a lawsuit by eight families of children who attended the preschool, alleging that reports of potential

abuse of at least seven toddlers by the teacher had been ignored. In its letter, OSSE, the agency that oversees early-childhood development centers, said the school violated rules that children must not be left alone with just one adult. And, the agency wrote, the school’s director dismissed staff complaints about their colleague disappearing with children. OSSE said the school’s actions “constitute a substantial failure to comply with the applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, based on the investigation, OSSE has determined that these violations present an imminent threat to the health, safety, and welfare of children previously and currently enrolled in WHC.” In a statement, Washington Hebrew Congregation said that immediately after contacting police about abuse allegations, it engaged a law firm and the Baltimore Child Abuse Center “to independently evaluate our policies, practices and procedures and advise us on how to achieve best practices in child safety. We have already implemented most of their recommendations.” JOE HEIM (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Florida’s reptile ‘menace’ State urges residents to kill iguanas as warming climate increases population ENVIRONMENT The first time he saw iguanas on his roof last winter, Bob Lugari was enchanted. He had recently moved from California to South Florida, and the bright green lizards seemed to fit right into the subtropical vibe of his new home. “I thought, how adorable, how cute, how Floridian,” Lugari said. “They looked so tropical. I never had iguanas in California, and I thought, this is part of the Florida experience.” But the Fort Lauderdale resident soon found his carefully cultivated ornamental plants defoliated. He started finding messy brown piles of iguana droppings on his pool deck. “They aren’t cute anymore,” he recently said of the animals, which are not native to Florida. “They’re a menace.” The state of Florida agrees. After a warm winter and now with record-breaking summer heat — the kind of weather iguanas

thrive in — the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has declared open season on the exotic reptile. “The FWC encourages homeowners to kill green iguanas on their own property whenever possible,” the commission recently wrote on its website. “Iguanas can also be killed yearround and without a permit on 22 public lands in south Florida.” Agency biologists say they don’t know how many iguanas there are in Florida, but they know the kinds of problems they’re causing. These include “erosion, degradation of infrastructure such as water control structures, canal banks, sea walls and building foundations,” state biologist Dan Quinn said in an email. Along with doing damage by digging, iguanas destroy landscaping and ornamental plants, including some that are endangered. They can also carry salmonella. Green iguanas have been

spotted in Florida since the 1960s, but their numbers have soared in recent years. They’re native to Central America, parts of South America and some islands in the Caribbean. Climate change is helping them spread quickly in South Florida, said Joseph Wasilewski, who has studied green iguanas for 40 years. Climate change is “warming things up and allowing them to go further north,” he said. Florida needs to get a handle on the green iguana invasion before it gets worse, Wasilewski said. He said he saw Grand Cayman island go from having no green iguanas in 2000 to having an estimated 1.6 million in 2018. The island launched a large-scale cull last fall, and nearly 800,000 iguanas have been killed so far. He said he’s seen the iguana population “explode” in Florida in the last five or 10 years.”

The Lewis Chessmen are intricate pieces in the form of Norse warriors, carved from walrus ivory in the 12th century. A hoard of dozens of pieces was discovered in 1831 on Scotland’s Isle of Lewis — but five were missing. The Sotheby’s piece, the equivalent of a rook, is the first missing chessman to be identified.

China supports Hong Kong chief amid protests HONK KONG China’s government strongly backed Hong Kong’s embattled administration Tuesday, saying pro-democracy protesters who occupied and vandalized the city’s legislature committed “serious illegal acts” that endangered the social order. Chinese state media on Tuesday broadcast video of police in Hong Kong clearing protesters from the streets. That broadcast was a change in tack for China, which had been silent about days of demonstrations that have challenged Beijing’s authority over the semiautonomous Chinese territory. Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Beijing condemned the acts of hundreds of demonstrators who smashed through glass and steel barriers to enter the legislature Monday night, defacing lawmakers’ portraits and spraypainting pro-democracy slogans. China’s central government voiced support for Hong Kong’s chief executive, Carrie Lam, and the city’s police force in dealing with the incident, Geng said. Veteran opposition figure Joshua Wong acknowledged that the damage to the legislative offices has drawn criticism from some sectors in Hong Kong. But he said huge marches and rallies in previous weeks showed there was a groundswell of support for the demonstrators’ goals of demanding more accountability from Lam’s administration.

TEHRAN While opinions differ across Tehran’s Grand Bazaar about the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran over its unraveling nuclear deal, those in the heart of Iran’s capital city agree that American sanctions hurt the average person, not those in charge. From an English-language teacher to an appliance salesman, all said they suffered from the economic hardships sparked by reimposed and newly created American sanctions. On Monday, authorities acknowledged the country had broken through the limit placed on its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by the 2015 nuclear deal. President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal a year ago. Tensions between Tehran and Washington have seen the U.S. rush an aircraft carrier, nuclear-capable B-52 bombers, F-22 fighters and thousands of additional troops to the Middle East. While Iran says it doesn’t seek war, it recently shot down a U.S. military surveillance drone. Some Iranians, like Sajjad Nazary, a 23-year-old university student in Tehran, question Iran challenging the West over the country’s nuclear program. “Instead of the nuclear program, the Iranian people need bread,” Nazary said. “They want their economic situation to get better. The point is with nuclear

who knows what he’s doing and doesn’t want others to know what he’s doing.” Asked about the economy, which has seen the rial go from 32,000 to $1 to now nearly 130,000, Hamzeh Nia blamed not just the sanctions but local mismanagement as well. Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran’s government has careened between economic crises involving poor planning and embezzlement, which U.S. sanctions have exacerbated. “I think 50% is related to sanctions and 50% is domestic,” he said. “Even if the foreign 50% is resolved, and the domestic 50% is not fixed, our situation will still get worse.” That fall in the rial has hit retirees particularly hard. Yussuf, a retired banking official, said things remained extremely difficult for those on fixed incomes like himself. He said he took on odd jobs to help make ends meet. Nazary and Hamzeh Nia, both younger men, said they thought about leaving Iran, given the stress. Hamzeh Nia said he worried about how to support his family, including his 5-year-old son. “We would love to leave, if the situation remains like this,” Hamzeh Nia said. “There is no future for you here.” But the most pressing concern for Nahroba Alirezei, a 35-yearold English-language teacher, is the need to ease tensions. Asked what she hoped for, she responded in English: “Peace, just peace.” JON GAMBRELL (AP)

Warning issued on parasite that can live in pools HEALTH Federal public health officials are urging people to take precautions to protect themselves against a microscopic parasite that can live for days in swimming pools and water playgrounds and cause severe intestinal problems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a report last week about the increased number of outbreaks caused by the fecal parasite cryptosporidium, more commonly known as “crypto.” The parasite causes cryptosporidiosis, a disease characterized by nausea, vomiting and diarrhea that can last for weeks, according to the CDC. Although most cases do not require medical treatment, public health experts warn that the parasite may pose a greater risk to people who are especially young or old. The warning came from the CDC’s recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which highlighted an average 13% increase in cryptosporidiosis outbreaks each year from 2009 to 2017. Bobbi Pritt, a physician and co-director of Vector-Borne Diseases Lab Services at the Mayo Clinic, said the parasite can infect people in swimming pools because it can survive even in treated water with its resistance to chlorine and some chemicals. She said people with diarrhea should not go in pools, and those in pools should avoid swallowing water. LINDSEY BEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

House Dems sue for Trump returns Court action follows months of feuding over presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxes POLITICS House Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court seeking access to President Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax returns, accusing the administration of an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extraordinary attackâ&#x20AC;? on Congress in preventing the disclosure of the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal financial records. Rep. Richard Neal of Massachusetts, a Democrat who is chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, filed the lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department after months of feuding with the administration over the returns. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig, who have denied Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demands for the returns, are named as defendants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defendants have mounted an extraordinary attack on the authority of Congress to obtain information needed to conduct oversight of Treasury, the IRS, and the tax laws on behalf of the American people,â&#x20AC;? the 49-page lawsuit states.

European leaders on Tuesday proposed awarding the powerful presidency of the European Commission to German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen, putting an advocate of transAtlantic ties into the job. The European Parliament needs to give final approval — not a sure bet — but, if confirmed, von der Leyen would be the first woman to fill the European Union’s top post. Leaders also nominated International Monetary Fund Director Christine Lagarde to helm the European Central Bank, a decision that would give that institution its first female head, too.

A Sudanese opposition group said Tuesday that two of its leaders were arrested amid a weeks-long standoff between the ruling military council and a protest coalition that held mass marches this week. The Sudanese Professionals’ Association, which has spearheaded protests since December, said security forces arrested Yassin Abdel-Karim, head of the Sudanese Teachers’ Committee, in the capital, Khartoum. The association said security forces also arrested lawyer Abdel-Majed Aidrous in the northern city of Atbara, the birthplace of the uprising that led to the military overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir in April.

A fire broke out on one of the Russian navy’s deep-sea research submersibles, and toxic fumes from the blaze killed 14 sailors aboard, Russia’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday, although it released few details about the disaster or the vessel involved.

But Russian media reported that it was the country’s most secret submersible, a nuclear-powered vessel designed for sensitive missions at great depths. (AP)

predicament to two consecutive years of drought. In response, the city plans to open two new plants to desalinate seawater within the next five years, according to T. Prabhushankar, executive director of the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board. It has also commissioned two plants to convert wastewater for industrial use, he said. Chennai is the only major city in India where rainwater harvesting is already mandated by law in buildings. But the legislation has not been rigorously implemented or monitored, Raghavan said. Now he says he gets more than a dozen calls a day from ordinary citizens wanting to know how they can set up their own structures to store rainwater. The water shortage has hit businesses, schools, hotels and hospitals. Restaurants are struggling to stay open. R. Selvam has run an eatery in Royapettah, a neighborhood of small, congested alleys, for more than 40 years. This month, for the first time, he started closing for most of the day, serving only breakfast. “I cannot afford to buy water, and the prices are rising,” he said. NIHA MASIH AND JOANNA SLATER

POLITICS The Trump administration is dropping plans to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, the Justice Department confirmed Tuesday just days after the Supreme Court described the rationale for the question as “contrived.” The decision to back away from the controversial question was a victory for civil rights advocates concerned that the query would lead to an undercount of millions of people in immigrant communities who would be afraid to return the form. Critics of the question, including some inside the Census Bureau, said it could lead to an inaccurate count that could skew representation and apportionment in favor of Republican areas. The fate of the question has been the subject of legal and political wrangling since March 2018, when Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross announced he planned to add it to the decennial survey, sparking a half-dozen lawsuits from states, cities, civil rights groups and others. Data from the census, which every U.S. household is required to fill out, is used by businesses and the government to allocate billions of dollars in federal spending per year; it is also used to determine congressional apportionment and redistricting. The form that goes to all households has not included a question related to citizenship since 1950. ANN E. MARIMOW AND

TARA BAHRAMPOUR (TWP)

These satellite images taken in June 2018, left, and June 2019 show the startling effects of a two-year drought on a reservoir in Chennai, India.

City of 9M running dry CHENNAI, INDIA The wait for water begins in the dark at 4 a.m. By the time A. Vani reaches the public pump, a dozen women are already in line. The taps in Vani’s home in a working-class suburb of the south Indian city of Chennai ran dry a month ago. Now her entire morning is spent chasing water, then carefully rationing it for washing, bathing and cooking. She used to open her beauty parlor at 10 a.m., but now she is lucky if she gets there by early afternoon. As the sun rises, so, too, does the heat, heading toward a high of 109 degrees. Finally, at 8 a.m., water spills from the pump. But the flow is erratic, requiring a 10-minute wait before the next vessel can be filled. A sharp argument erupts between neighbors over whose turn is next. Last month, a woman in the area was stabbed when a fight over water turned violent. The situation is “mental torture,” said Vani, 44, hoisting a neon-colored plastic pot full of water to her waist before starting the walk home. But, she added, “whatever lengths we have to go to get water, we will do it. There

is no other way.” A severe water shortage is stalking Chennai, whose metropolitan area is home to 9 million people. The city’s reservoirs and lakes are parched and its wells have run dry after two years of scanty rains. Local authorities are trucking in water and desalinating seawater, but the supply is less than half the city’s basic requirement. The daily travails of millions of people in Chennai are a harbinger of things to come for the country, warn experts, who say India faces a looming water crisis as its population grows, urbanization intensifies and global temperatures rise. “This year it is Chennai,” said Samrat Basak, a water expert at the World Resources Institute in India. But “Bangalore, Hyderabad and Delhi are all facing similar water scarcity.” Together, the four cities are home to about 60 million people, the United Nations estimates. India is the world’s largest user of groundwater — an underground resource that excludes lakes and reservoirs. Twelve

major urban areas have been using groundwater at an unsustainable rate since at least 2013, according to data provided by the planning arm of the Indian government. “This is a man-made crisis,” said Sekhar Raghavan, director of the Rain Center in Chennai and a longtime expert on the city’s water issues. As Chennai has grown, natural water bodies have been squeezed and polluted by the expanding metropolis. Like much of India, the city relies on yearly monsoon rains for its water needs. If the rains fail again this year, “Chennai will be unlivable,” Raghavan said. Local officials attribute the

LINEUP CHANGE

American excellence UNITED STATES 2, ENGLAND 1 An evening that began with intrigue concerning Megan Rapinoe’s absence ended in high drama and full glory for the U.S. national soccer team Tuesday as it defeated England, 2-1, and advanced to the World Cup final for the third consecutive time. The reigning champions rallied around Rapinoe’s replacement, Christen Press; received a go-ahead goal by Alex Morgan; and turned to Alyssa Naeher to stop a penalty kick in the waning moments in Lyon, France. On Sunday, they will play the Netherlands or Sweden in a quest for a fourth world title. Press scored in the 10th minute — the sixth straight time the United States had gone ahead before a dozen minutes had expired. Ellen White equalized for England moments later, but Morgan, on her 30th birthday, provided the go-ahead header in the 31st for her sixth goal of the tournament. The Americans have not lost since January and haven’t been

beaten in regulation time of World Cup play in a record 16 matches. England, a semifinalist four years ago in Canada, was seeking its first trip to a World Cup final. Press started for the second time in the tournament. She had entered as a sub in the other four matches. While Rapinoe’s production would be missed, Press is a dynamic, unpredictable attacker who would start for most teams in the world. Press was not the only change.

Championship match The United States will face the winner of the Sweden-Netherlands semifinal (3 p.m. Wednesday, Fox) in the World Cup final at 11 a.m. Sunday on Fox.

Lindsey Horan returned to the midfield lineup, in place of Samantha Mewis. England also made a major change: Carly Telford started in place of injured goalkeeper Karen Bardsley.

Serena Williams, Andy Murray to play Wimbledon mixed doubles; draw announced Wednesday

America’s Rose Lavelle provided the first highlight, pushing the ball between Jill Scott’s legs — a nutmeg of the tallest order — inside the penalty area. Lavelle tested Telford with a rising bid. The pressure continued without much pause, and in the 10th minute, Tobin Heath played the ball forward toward Lavelle. Instead of taking possession, Lavelle dummied it, allowing it to roll behind her and through to the overlapping Kelley O’Hara. The right back lofted a cross to the back side. Lucy Bronze, England’s celebrated defender, had lost track of Press, who, with perfect placement, headed the ball into the near top corner for her first goal of the tournament. In the 69th minute, White appeared to score another equalizer, splitting Abby Dahlkemper and Becky Sauerbrunn again and breaking in alone before beating Naeher with a low finish. But White appeared to have been a whisker offside and a VAR ruling erased the goal.

Rapinoe sits entire game with injury American co-captain Megan Rapinoe spent Tuesday’s World Cup semifinal on the bench. She said after the 2-1 victory over England that she had a minor hamstring injury and should be ready for Sunday’s final against Sweden or the Netherlands. Rapinoe had absorbed several hard challenges in the team’s quarterfinal win over France, though she ended up playing 87 minutes and scoring two goals, and was named the player of the match. In the 10th minute Tuesday, Christen Press, her replacement, headed a long cross from Kelley O’Hara past the outstretched arms of English goalkeeper Carly Telford and into the top left corner of the net to give the U.S. a 1-0 lead.

Rendon relaxed in uncertainty Anthony Rendon is an All-Star for the first time in his seven-year career.

PATRICK SMITH (GETTY IMAGES)

NATIONALS Here’s a secret about Anthony Rendon: He does care. The Nationals third baseman cares about being an All-Star. He cares about being respected by his peers. He cares about his future and being paid every dollar he is worth. He just shows it differently than most people. “I definitely think about those types of things,” Rendon said in Miami last week. “I just try not to too much, try not to get too caught up in what’s next, because it’s all going to happen either way.” In the short term, like next week, Rendon will be an All-Star for the first time in his sevenyear career. He has repeatedly said that he’d rather not go to Cleveland for the game. He said Sunday there’s a chance he’ll skip it to heal up for the second half. He’s half-joking and almost certainly serious. That’s Rendon. The long term is anyone’s guess at the moment. Rendon will be a free agent after this season if he doesn’t sign an extension in the next four months. Both sides expressed interest before the season, but there has been little progress since, according to multiple people with knowledge of the negotiations. On the possibility of hitting the open market, the 29-year-old leaned far back in a chair. Negotiations are “out of my hands,” he said, appearing content. That’s Rendon, too. “I’m not going to be the one

going out and trying to pursue it,” he said last week. “At this point, if they present something and both sides are happy, then cool. If not and it doesn’t happen, then no hard feelings.” Before the Nationals began spring training in February — and well before Rendon tore up the first half with a .311 average, 19 home runs and 58 RBIs — negotiations had a clear starting point. Second baseman Jose

Corbin honors Skaggs Nationals pitcher Patrick Corbin wore No. 45 in honor of his former teammate and friend Tyler Skaggs in Tuesday’s game, which ended after Express’ deadline. The Angels’ pitcher was found dead Monday at the team hotel in Southlake, Texas. Corbin and Skaggs were both drafted in 2009 by the Angels, traded to Arizona together in 2010 and made their MLB debuts in 2012. (AP)

Altuve and the Astros agreed to a five-year, $151 million extension in 2018. Rendon’s representation believed that was a good benchmark for premier infielders. But the Nationals didn’t value Rendon like Altuve, according to a person with knowledge of their thinking. Then Nolan Arenado signed an eight-year, $260 million extension in February with the Rockies, and Rendon’s situation got a lot more complicated. Mike Trout, Chris Sale and Paul Goldschmidt locked up long-term futures with their current teams. But Rendon didn’t. Arenado is having a slightly better year. But an argument for Rendon is Arenado’s career numbers away from the Rockies’ hitter-friendly Coors Field. Rendon, the logic goes, has shown consistency in all parks. Now the Nationals have to decide how they value Rendon, as a pillar of their franchise and as a player they drafted and helped develop into a star. When first asked about being an All-Star last week, Rendon stuck to the same script. An extra game, and all the media obligations, will only tire him out. It wouldn’t change anything. As long as other players respect him and he’s helping Washington win, that’s the only recognition he needs. But then he relented and noted that there’s a part of him, however small, that likes the validation. “It’s about being respected, really. That’s all.” JESSE DOUGHERTY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WIZARDS The Wizards are bringing twotime All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas to Washington on a oneyear deal worth the veteran’s minimum of approximately $2.3 million. He’s the presumed starting point guard for the 2019-20 season; John Wall is expected to miss most of the campaign rehabilitating an Achilles tendon injury. Although a hip injury has forced Thomas, 30, out of the upper echelon of NBA guards — he has played for three teams over the past two seasons and appeared in only 12 games with the Nuggets last season — it was just a little more than two years ago that he ranked third in the NBA in scoring at 28.9 points per game. During that 2016-17 season, in which Thomas made his second consecutive All-Star appearance, he led the Celtics to the Eastern Conference finals by defeating the Wizards in a seven-game, second-round series. The addition of Thomas — and Ish Smith, who is expected to sign a guaranteed two-year deal for $12 million — will help blunt

Yes, that’s the gist of the National Building Museum’s newest installation, “Lawn,” where you can revel in all your favorite summer activities minus the pesky

mosquitoes and sweltering heat. From Thursday through Labor Day, the museum’s Great Hall will transform into a sprawling yard complete with faux grass, lawn chairs and space to play croquet, bocce and other outdoor games. It’s an exhibition that might live on forever, as nearly every part of it is recyclable. “There is almost nothing in this exhibition that will not be used again after we shut this down, which has always been a part of the plan,” says Cathy Frankel, the museum’s vice president for

from the hall’s 100-foot-high ceiling grid. Each one features speakers so visitors can listen to Whoopi Goldberg, Venus Williams, Bette Midler and other celebrities share summertime

memories via recordings. The installation also has a wide slate of special programming. There will be extended, late-night hours on Wednesdays (6-9 p.m.) with music from D.C. DJ Henrietta Stack$ and food and drinks for purchase. Movie nights will take place on Thursdays beginning sometime in August, with a film lineup to be announced. But the setting raises a question: Can these activities be just as fun as experiencing the real deal outdoors? “What’s better than doing [something like] Screen on the Green where it’s air-conditioned and there are no bugs?” Frankel says.

George Washington — who led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolution and later, as president, chose the exact location of the federal city — has a unique appreciation for both the Fourth of July and the District of Columbia. Yet on his dream day, Washington would prefer to remain at his Virginia home, Mount Vernon, and participate in its annual Fourth of July celebration. At least that’s the take of Dean Malissa, 66, above, who has been Mount Vernon’s official George Washington for nearly 15 years. One thing Washington would not do on his dream day is time-travel to see the monument built in his honor, according to Malissa, who says Washington would think a monument is “a little bit too monarchical.” Here, Malissa gets into character for Washington’s perfect day. There is no place that I have ever wanted to be throughout the entirety of my adult life, rather than sitting under my own vine and sitting under my own fig tree at Mount Vernon. Quite frankly, I believe it is the most beautifully situated property in United America. And truth be told, it is where I am happiest.

I will arise before the sun, dress and shave and do some correspondence. As the sun rises across the Potomac River, I will pace back and forth on the piazza and do some of my thinking. I cannot speak highly enough of the view. Mrs. Washington [and I] will

I will make a circumnavigation of the farms and see how things progress in each of the areas — if we are engaged in farming business, or grist mill business, or fishing or any manner of commerce. We are upon the anniversary of our independence from Great Britain. At Mount Vernon, we celebrate. I will put on my uniform yet again — it still fits, I want you to know. Everybody will get a piece of cake for the birthday of America and there will be musical celebrations [and] military drills. It will be a day full of joyous celebration and also pausing to remember those 81/2 years and the miracle of that story. Mrs. Washington and I, we have not dined alone for 20 years. She and I, and our family and a few friends, will perhaps raise a glass of Madeira wine. It is a fortified wine. It has had sugar added to it by the winemakers. Mrs. Washington will plate one of her Virginia smoked hams. I think they are the finest smoked hams in all of Virginia, perhaps all of these United States. She will set what we refer to as a groaning board, a heavily set table of two or three other types of meats and fresh vegetables that we have grown here at Mount Vernon. We will build to a sweet turn at the end of the meal. There is a relatively new sweet that has reached these shores called iced cream. We have sweetened iced cream, but we also have savory iced cream. While you would not have it for dessert, my favorite is fresh oyster iced cream. Absolutely freezing cold, wonderful to the palate.

Leesburg’s long-running Independence Day Parade emphasizes patriotic floats.

Five places to enjoy the Fourth The Palisades A word of advice if you’re planning to participate in the Palisades’ 53rd annual Independence Day parade (self-billed as “the best small-town parade in D.C.”): Don’t make a boring float. The festive event specializes in spontaneous, wholesome fun: “It’s not really as organized as it could be, but it’s probably as organized as it ought to be,” chair Spence Spencer says of the parade, which his grown children travel back for each year.

“There’s a Norman Rockwell quality to the entire thing; it’s completely homespun. We have bagpipes, we have marching bands, we have the mayor, we have beauty queens, there’s candy being thrown onto the streets.” The Palisades isn’t technically a small town, but a quiet neighborhood on the District’s northwest edge with a secluded, residential feel. Neighbors tend to band together to participate — such as the Millwood Mob, residents of Millwood Lane who crown a Miss Millwood

There are plenty of reasons to trade downtown D.C. for a smalltown Fourth of July — reasons far exceeding the metaphorical fireworks that have exploded around President Trump moving this year’s national celebration.

to greet attendees from atop a convertible. Following the hourlong parade, there will be 4,000 hot dogs and 90 watermelons served during a free picnic at the Palisades Recreation Center. Though the Palisades doesn’t put on its own fireworks display, you can catch the downtown offering from the Key Bridge. There’s plenty of street parking, Spencer says, though he also recommends biking the Capital Crescent Trail along the bluffs overlooking the Potomac, which will deposit you near the parade route.

Parade starts at 11 a.m. Thursday at Whitehaven Parkway, and is followed by a picnic at the Palisades Recreation Center, 5200 Sherier Place NW.

Parade starts at 10 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of Carroll and Ethan Allen avenues. Evening events start at 7 p.m. in front of the Takoma Park Community Center, 7500 Maple Ave.

Laurel There’s a gap in Laurel’s annual Independence Day Parade, after a set of finely preserved antique cars pass by and before the rest of the participants — flag twirlers and drummers, veteran bikers, and balloon-covered floats — start marching. And that little break is chair Carreen Koubek’s favorite part of the day. “We’ve got a great DJ playing music, and we get out there on the street and dance,” Koubek says. “The

It’s very wellattended and a real tradition.” For a blast of fun afterward, check out the firefighters’ competition, which involves shooting powerful water hoses at targets. Revelers who wish to cool down are invited to stand a safe distance behind the spray. Later, gather at Fairfax High School — and spread out on the football field, or in the bleachers — for face painting, balloon artists and ’70s and ’80s tunes, as well as a fireworks display. Parade starts at 10 a.m. Thursday on Armstrong Street. Evening gathering kicks off at 6:30 p.m. at Fairfax High School, 3501 Rebel Run, with fireworks at 9:30 p.m.

First, you hear the joyous bagpipes, unmistakable even when they’re still around the corner. Then, a dozen or so members of the Scottish Reels drill team rush by, pushing lawn mowers as they shimmy about, executing what appears spontaneous but is actually a choreographed routine. “I’ve been in Takoma Park for as many years as I’ve been alive, and they’re always there,” coordinator Tara Egan says of the drill team and the parade. “It’s really unique — it has all the traditional, patriotic elements, like bands and firetrucks. But we also have some really esoteric groups — we had a group of people dressed up as squid last year.” In a nod to Takoma Park’s reputation — the Maryland suburb is known for its liberal politics and hippie-ish vibe — there are a variety of awards for participants, including the Wacky Tacky Takoma Award, which goes to a particularly outrageous entrant. In the evening after the parade — part of the town’s 130th Independence Day celebration — head to the Takoma Park Community Center for live music, an acrobatics troupe, food trucks and activities for kids.

kids are dancing with us, we’re having fun, and then the parade comes and everybody’s all happy and cheering.” The Maryland town’s Fourth of July celebration is held on a Saturday each year, a daylong affair that often keeps the merriment alive beyond the actual holiday. Post-parade, the vintage cars that jump-started the parade will be on display at Granville Gude Park, part of the Laurel Lakes community, in addition to a packed lineup of field games: cornhole, a giant rainbow parachute and minute-to-win-it-style activities. In the evening, recover from

all that activity with a concert featuring local band Oracle and a lakeside fireworks display. Get there early: By 7:30 p.m., when the music starts, there’s typically not a spot to be found on the lawn, Koubek says. Parade starts at 11 a.m. Saturday at Sixth and Montgomery streets. The car show begins at noon at Granville Gude Park, 8300 Mulberry St., and festivities conclude there with fireworks at 9:15 p.m.

Fairfax There’s all the standard parade fare at the city of Fairfax’s

annual two-hour event, which travels through the historic Old Town district: marching bands, motorcycles, those tiny cars the Shriners squeeze into. And then there’s the Virginia city’s beloved precision-marching librarians, who push patriotic book carts down the street while doing tricks such as spinning in unison to the command of a whistle. “Our book cart drill team was actually the first in the country,” says Laura Raymond, branch manager of the City of Fairfax Regional Library. “People shout all sorts of lovely things, like ‘We love the library!’ or ‘Books

Extravagant red, white and blue is encouraged here — each year, the most patriotic float in Leesburg’s annual Independence Day Parade is presented with the Patriot Cup, a trophy that’s engraved with the winner’s name and displayed at Leesburg Town Hall. “It’s a fun day with a nice hometown feel,” says Barb Smith, the Virginia town’s events coordinator. “Just come and bring your patriotic spirit.” Arrive early to catch the American Originals Fife & Drum Corps, a crowd favorite that will perform at the intersection of King and Market streets at 9:45 a.m. Following the parade, many attendees hang out in charming downtown Leesburg, perusing the mix of historic homes, shops and restaurants. It’s a pleasant way to kill time until the evening celebration, when 20,000 people are expected to pour into sprawling Ida Lee Park for festival food — funnel cakes, ice cream, burgers, hot dogs — and live party music. Cap off the holiday with a fireworks display that’s choreographed to patriotic tunes. Parade starts at 10 a.m. Thursday at Ida Lee Park, 60 Ida Lee Drive NW; gates for the evening event there open at 6 p.m.; fireworks start at 9:30 p.m.

After all, many watch the annual fireworks display from rooftop decks and other high ground, not the Mall.

EXHIBITS Contralto Marian Anderson famously delivered a soaring performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1939 — after the Daughters of the American Revolution blocked her from singing at Constitution Hall because she was black. A cultural milestone, Anderson’s concert turned her into a reluctant symbol of the push for civil rights. While this year marks the 80th anniversary of the performance, the National Portrait Gallery is using the occasion to explore Anderson’s life beyond that watershed moment. The museum’s new “One Life: Marian Anderson” exhibition, on view through May 17, features 26 items including photographs, paintings and archival materials. A kiosk plays seven video and audio clips of various

highlights, including Anderson’s performance at the 1963 March on Washington and life on her Connecticut farm, where she lived until one year before her death in 1993 at the age of 96 in Portland, Ore. Anderson, already an international superstar used to selling out opera houses around the world, performed a 25-minute concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, singing “America (My Country ’Tis of Thee),” an aria called “O Mio Fernando” from the opera “La Favorita,” “Ave Maria,” and three spirituals: “The Gospel Train,” “Trampin’ ” and “My Soul’s Been Anchored in the Lord.” Three years later, the DAR relented and invited Anderson to sing at Constitution Hall for a 1943 charity concert series supporting the war effort. Anderson

accepted the invitation, and would go on to perform at Constitution Hall at least four more times. One of the audio clips in the exhibit comes from Anderson’s stop there on her 1964-65 farewell tour. “Eventually, they did get rid of that clause and they did allow performers to be African American and to perform, so by 1942 when they [first] invited her, they had changed the policy,” says Leslie Ureña, the museum’s associate curator of photographs. “She just didn’t really want to talk about it that much.” Here are three of the most significant images amplifying aspects of Anderson’s life.

‘Marian Anderson’ by William Henry Johnson (c. 1945)

‘Marian Anderson’ by Beauford Delaney (1965)

Like Anderson, Johnson, a noted African American painter, enjoyed an extensive career abroad, and his painting depicts Anderson’s worldwide appeal while recognizing some of her critical milestones at home. The mosaic features several foreign flags, the Eiffel Tower, the White House and Anderson receiving the NAACP’s Spingarn Medal from first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. “It gives you a combination of different places where she performed and the international nature of her career and also the important moments like the medal, the Lincoln Memorial performance and other aspects of it,” Ureña says.

Anderson acted as a muse for Delaney, an important painter who launched his career during the Harlem Renaissance. For Delaney, Anderson symbolized the civil rights movement while embodying a relentless pursuit of musical perfection, Ureña says. Delaney went with James Baldwin to see Anderson perform, met her once, wrote letters to her and painted this portrait of her from memory. “Whenever he saw her, he was very touched by her, so the idea of him trying to capture her, it’s real interesting because she’s not singing,” Ureña says, noting that Delaney painted the portrait the year Anderson retired.

‘Marian Anderson’ by Brian Lanker (1989) The pioneering songbird was in her early 90s when Lanker photographed and interviewed her for his book “I Dream a World,” which featured 75 groundbreaking black women. Lanker took Anderson’s picture at Carnegie Hall, where she served on its board and enjoyed a lengthy career that began with her 1928 recital debut. In the interview, Anderson confessed that she didn’t see herself as a trailblazer, Ureña says. “She talks about how she’s never been a mover and a shaker, but she is, and so this is the tension … that is really part and parcel of the way that she lived her life.”

Fringe unbuttoned

Are you sitting down? You might want to. This summer’s Capital Fringe Festival is instituting a huge change, one that festival president Julianne Brienza worries is going to cause much confusion and angst among fans of Washington’s annual theater extravaganza: In the past, you had to purchase both a Fringe button and a ticket to get into a play. Now, all you need is the ticket. Button collectors, don’t fret: You can still buy a Fringe Festival medallion for $5, which you can flash for discounts around the Southwest Waterfront neighborhood. (Or you can buy a Fringe ticket package, which includes a button in the deal.) “We didn’t want to get rid of the buttons entirely, since they’ve become such an iconic part of the festival,” Brienza says. “We’ve been doing the buttons since 2008,” Capital Fringe’s second year. Outside of the button policy change, this year’s festival is a lot like last year’s: It’s largely taking place in and around the Southwest Waterfront, and most of the stages are in neighborhood churches. As always, the (mostly) unjuried theater festival is open to anyone with about $1,000 and a dream. Here are some likely standouts from this year’s grab bag of performances.

The late Howard Zinn’s 1980 book “A People’s History of the United States” provides the foundation for each monologue, with Daisey referring to his 1980s-era high school history textbook to highlight disparities. The first monologue, “The Golden Earring,” looks at a crucial object Christopher Columbus found that kicked off, for better and worse, the American colonial experiment. M.L.

Q&A | MIKE DAISEY

It’s his turn at the lectern Monologuist Mike Daisey has a bone (or several) to pick with his grade school history lessons. In his 18-part show “A People’s History,” which begins Friday at Arena Stage as part of the 2019 Capital Fringe Festival, he compares and contrasts two takes on American history: the textbook he used at his rural Maine high school and self-described socialist historian Howard Zinn’s more representative “A People’s History of the United States.” Seeing the vast differences in the two texts helped clarify for Daisey how much nuance is inevitably left out of any retelling of history. “The story of our nation is the story of great men prosecuting a series of wars, and by making the focus be in those areas, you can sculpt a history that tells the story you’d like to tell,” says Daisey, 43, who adds that the goal of his 30-hour narrative is to arrive at a more complex understanding of our nation’s past. MARK LIEBERMAN (EXPRESS) How did you come up with the idea for this show? I had this core idea that I wanted to use [Zinn’s book] but I didn’t want to abridge it. That meant that the show needed to be epic. The secondary text is my U.S. history book from my high school. There’s a third history

that reflects off both, which is the history we experience now. Why do those two texts make sense for comparison? What it mostly reveals is how much of the history we’re taught is a story that we would like to hear us tell to ourselves. Most

of American history as we traditionally teach it eradicates the existence of minorities, people of color, women. As a monologuist, I have an opportunity to create a living reflection on these things. How has reading your high school textbook as an adult helped you reframe your childhood experiences in school? What I discovered is a lot of the questions I had then, I can see now why I had those questions. I remember how they taught the Red Scare. The question I always had was, why was everyone so afraid of communism? When you go into the actual history, the writers have chosen to remove decades of anarchist uprisings and socialist movements. If you omit and minimize those things, then it doesn’t make sense. What would be the ideal textbook for students today to learn from? It would be pretty amazing if they actually drew from texts, plural. A lot of the core problem of any class environment is the idea that there is a book that can teach you the entirety of history.

Journalists have been asking you about your show “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs” while you’re promoting your other work. [Daisey admitted to fabricating personal anecdotes for the theatrical monologue.] What have you learned from reliving that experience? I’ve learned a tremendous amount about myself. None of it has been from journalists writing about it. I’ve already done full-length monologues about this incident. I’ve talked about it more than any public person has ever talked about public shaming. I did that work myself. Have you talked to any of your high school teachers about the new show? I did a number of years ago get in touch with my history teacher Mr. Harville, who appears in the monologue. I like to think he would be appalled at some of the history that I have to tell, but that’s not really my fault. History is, in fact, appalling.

movies The latest installment playfully grapples with ‘Endgame’s’ aftermath FILM REVIEW Words like “goodbye,” “ending” and “closure” are merely notional in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where it seems like just yesterday we were bidding a damp-eyed adieu to some of the MCU’s most beloved characters in “Avengers: Endgame.” Just in time to reassure bereft fans comes “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” which might be the sweetest Iron Man movie the metalsheathed icon never starred in. As “Far From Home” opens, the late Tony Stark is still being mourned at the Queens high school where Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is preparing for an upcoming summer trip to Europe with his science-geek friends. Now it looks like Parker’s alterego, Spider-Man, will take on the savior-of-the-free-world mantle. But Peter has other plans, which center on MJ (Zendaya), an unrequited crush and a dramatic

admission of his feelings atop the Eiffel Tower. Both plotlines — Peter accepting the adult responsibilities that Tony prepared him for and finally getting on MJ’s vibe — unfold and intersect with chipper efficiency in “Far From Home,” which thankfully continues in the same amiable high school comedy vein as 2017’s “SpiderMan: Homecoming.” The best parts of “Far From Home” aren’t the action sequences, which by now can’t help but feel rote and metronomically explosive, but the teasing banter and goofy peer-group dynamics that are injected with life-ordeath stakes thanks to Peter’s still-kinda-secret identity. Jake Gyllenhaal does show up as a cool, cape-wearing strongman who shows a brotherly interest in Peter. But “Far From Home” is still in Tony’s thrall, paying homage to the fallen industrialist in everything from bits of background graffiti to near-constant invocation on the part of Peter, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Tony’s former

right-hand man Happy (Jon Favreau), who still has a thing for Peter’s impossibly hot Aunt May (Marisa Tomei). There are more than a few

caustic nods to real-life politics when characters scoff that these days people will believe anything, and “Far From Home” ends with the usual fantasia of carnage, mayhem and miraculously bloodless destruction. But big-M messages and spectacle aren’t the point in a series that, two movies in, has already distinguished itself in being endearingly sincere, playful and self-effacing. Maybe by the next installment, Peter will be ready to swoop, sail and spin into action all on his own, and Tony can finally rest in peace. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Netflix orders series based on DC comic “The Sandman”

In 1989, the first all-woman crew sailed in the Whitbread Round the World Race, a grueling, nearly yearlong regatta. “Maiden,” a terrific documentary about the historic event, is directed with unfussy directness by Alex Holmes, who benefits from a wealth of visual images to convey this story. The film reminds women — and men — not only how far we’ve come in one generation but how far we’ve yet to go. A.H.

Following ‘Hereditary,’ Ari Aster’s new film is as uneven as his debut FILM REVIEW At long last, “Midsommar” asks the cinematic question we’ve all been waiting for: How, precisely, does one say “completely bonkers” in Swedish? Fans of highfalutin horror have been awaiting “Midsommar” with interest since last

year, when its writer-director, Ari Aster, made a stunning — if ultimately uneven — debut with the creepy dysfunctional domestic drama “Hereditary.” His follow-up is a doozy. As “Midsommar” opens, a young woman named Dani (Florence Pugh) is coping with an unfathomable loss that forces her to rely on her not-always-reliable boyfriend, a grad student named Christian (Jack Reynor). W hen Christia n a nd his

a healthy separation. But soon enough, Christian is inviting Dani along to the village, where their hosts, dressed in white linen, welcome them with equanimity that’s as disquieting as it is serene.

As he did in “Hereditary,” Aster proves to be a master at establishing tension through atmosphere. But, as was the case with that first film, “Midsommar” starts to collapse in on itself. What might have been a chilling modern allegory about betrayal and mistrust instead blurs into something inert, fetishistic and hysterically pitched. Only the most committed Aster-pologists are likely to enjoy “Midsommar” at its fullest; others, meanwhile, may admire its handsome visual design and bravura performances without completely buying in to the alternately diseased and fuzzy fable at its core.
