Good morning ONLY to this miraculous baby albino porcupine spotted in Maine

Man extremely lucky to be unharmed after extremely unlucky accident

Can’t speak for Illinois, but by D.C. mail standards this counts as timely delivery

A curious visitor to a Maine train museum that resembled a white throw pillow or perhaps a lost toupee turned out to be a rare albino porcupine. The animal turned up Tuesday at Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, perplexing the staff, who sought help identifying it via social media. The Portland Press Herald reports the porcupine appeared to be a baby because its quills had not yet hardened. A spokeswoman for the museum said Wednesday that it hadn’t been seen again, but it was assumed to be lurking in the area. (AP)

Fire officials say they’re amazed a driver wasn’t seriously hurt when his vehicle slid under a tractor-trailer. The car was on Route 146 in Uxbridge, Mass., on Tuesday when it hit something in the road and went airborne. The car crossed a grassy area onto a highway ramp where it became wedged under the truck and was dragged “a good distance.” The roof was crushed, but driver Ricki Artruc, 61, was able to climb out. He told NBC Boston he’s “just glad to be alive.” Artruc was taken to a hospital and is recovering from minor injuries. (AP)

A Springfield, Ill., woman who recently got a 1993 postcard in her mailbox has tracked down the man who sent it to his children decades ago. Kim Draper’s story about the mysterious postcard was published in The State Journal-Register. Masrour Kizilbash sent the postcard to his family while in Hong Kong in 1993. He told the paper he was “fascinated with the area” and wanted to share his experiences. Kizilbash’s family was living in Springfield at the time. He always thought they’d received the postcard.

MATTHEW STAVER (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

His career was ready to take off ART Ed Dwight never reached the moon as an astronaut, but his use of negative space in sculptures made him an international star. As NASA celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing on Friday, the nation’s first African American trainee in the Apollo space program is surprised his story is suddenly being remembered. An aeronautical engineer and Air Force test pilot, Dwight was picked by President John F. Kennedy to join Apollo training in 1962. But in 1963, when NASA chose its next group of astronauts, Dwight was not among them, and all 14 men chosen were

white. Dwight left the military a few years later. “America has a fascinating interest in forgetting things, [but reaching the moon] is one that people haven’t,” he said. “I’m getting invitations to speak all around the country.” Yet, the 85-year-old Denverbased artist is better known for his 18,000 sculptures, including several prominent ones in the Washington area. Dwight’s statue of civil rights leader A. Philip Randolph sits in Union Station, and his work adorns the Our Mother of Africa Chapel in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. In 1974, Dwight was operating

a construction company and restaurant when Colorado Lt. Gov. George Brown, the state’s first African American lieutenant governor, asked Dwight to create a statue of him. “I was welding art from my house, making abstract figures out of metal,” Dwight said. “I said, ‘I don’t do that kind of work.’ He said, ‘I want you to go to the library for a book to teach you how to do this because you’re going to do this.’ ” Dwight’s big break came in 1978, when the National Park Service commissioned him to create a statue of Frederick Douglass for the abolitionist’s historic Anacostia home. “[NPS was] the one that really lit the spark of what possibilities existed,” Dwight said. “They saw some quality in my exhibitions and I managed to make people look like themselves. ... I was just trying to tell the African American story.” Dwight said his outdoor works, such as his Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Memorial by the Annapolis docks, are often his most noticed. “The scale of these things is critically important,” Dwight said. “It gets more attention and curiosity. I tell stories. I need room to tell the stories.” Like the one of a prospective astronaut who found fame not in the heavens, but Earth. RICK SNIDER (FOR EXPRESS)

Two offices will shed 250 staffers who don’t want to move west WASHINGTON Two research agencies at the Agriculture Department will uproot from Washington, D.C., to Kansas City this fall. But many staffers have decided to give up their jobs rather than move, prompting concerns of offices unable to adequately fund or inform agricultural science. About two-thirds of the USDA employees declined their reassignments, according to a tally the department released Tuesday. Ninety-nine of 171 employees at the Economic Research Service, an influential federal

statistical agency, will not move. At the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, which manages a $1.7 billion portfolio in scientific funding, 151 of 224 employees declined to relocate. Jack Payne, vice president for agriculture and natural resources at the University of Florida, warned that the hemorrhage of employees will devastate the agencies. “This is the brain drain we all feared, possibly a destruction of the agencies,” Payne said. Workers who agreed to move must do so by Sept. 30, although USDA has not established permanent office space and has not said whether agencies will be located on the Missouri or Kansas side of Kansas City. Workers who were asked to move but declined “will

USDA agencies see exodus which advocated for the relocation, said in a statement that “just over 36% of those given the option to relocate have accepted, which is very strong for any HQ relocation. We remain committed to working with all USDA employees interested in relocating to KC.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., told The Washington Post the staff departures “will completely gut the ERS and NIFA, and will ultimately prevent the USDA from conducting critical research that helps grow the food our families eat.” The agencies were understaffed even before Tuesday. In June, vacancy rates at the agencies were around 20 to 25%.

Warehouse proposed for Prince George’s draws neighbors’ ire

UPPER MARLBORO, MD. Amazon has not yet confirmed that it plans to build a logistics center in Prince George’s County, but the message from nearly 200 residents who attended a Wednesday night community meeting was clear: They don’t want it. Frustration was palpable at the standing-room-only session in Upper Marlboro with developers of Westphalia Town Center, a mixed-use neighborhood whose owners have struggled to attract retail and office tenants since breaking ground in 2013. Residents questioned the proposal to put an industrial facility in their mostly white-collar, African American neighborhood, saying they had moved there expecting the town center to include offices, not a massive warehouse. “Did you all talk about the environmental impacts?” Gabrielle Brown, who recently bought a house in Westphalia with her husband, asked developers. “What I have noticed — it’s not singling out Amazon — is that businesses tend to put their industrial locations in black communities. They tend to put their corporate facilities in other locations that don’t look like this room right here.” Two government officials,

night that the proposed logistics center would be five stories tall, come with nearly 2,000 parking spaces and employ up to 1,500 people, providing a steady stream of daytime customers for restaurants and stores in the town center. No representatives from Amazon attended Wednesday night’s meeting. (Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post and Express.) Chinonye Whitley, who works at the National Science Foundation, said during the meeting that she’s concerned about conditions for workers in Amazon facilities elsewhere and whether there would be a safety risk. “The community is not gaining anything,” she said.

KERY MURAKAMI (EXPRESS)

Yellow Cab Co. has partnered with D.C. to give cheaper rides east of the Anacostia, but few are taking them.

DC RIDER | KERY MURAKAMI

The fare market: Subsidized taxis not drawing riders Every other weekend, it was the same routine for Lisa Smith, who shares custody of her two teenage sons with their father. She also has two baby girls. But she has no one to watch them when she takes the boys to their father’s home near New Carrollton from her own near Congress Heights. So she would take the boys — with the babies in a stroller — and ride two buses to get to their father. “I’m a single mother trying to get back on my feet,” she said. “It’s been a tough road. I have my good days and bad days,” said Smith, 36. Those weekends when the buses were late and the trip could take two hours each way were bad. But for the past couple of

months, she’s been one of the few who have taken advantage of one of D.C.’s latest experiments in partnering with private companies to fill the gaps where Metro doesn’t serve. People going to and from one of eight Metro stations east of the Anacostia River have only had to pay $3 to take a D.C. Yellow Cab, as long as they were coming from or going to another place east of the river. The city’s Department of ForHire Vehicles, which runs the program, picks up the rest. It’s been a rare relief in Smith’s life. She and her kids have been taking cabs 15 minutes to the Deanwood Metro station, where they take a 10-minute Orange Line ride to New Carrollton. “The other day it felt like 105 degrees, it was so handy being able to call a cab,” she said. But for reasons that are unclear — possibly because $3

is too much in lower-income communities, or because not many know about it — hardly anyone has been using the program. There were only about 40 subsidized rides in May and June, said David Do, director of D.C’s Department of For-Hire Vehicles. So the city is going further. Now it is subsidizing the first $10 of every ride, making most trips essentially free. The idea comes as the city and even Metro are trying out several partnerships as the popularity of ride-hailing services like Lyft and Uber increase expectations of doorto-door service. At the same time it started the Taxi-to-Rail program in May, Do’s department began partnering with another taxi company, Transco, to run a free shuttle van service within an area straddling parts of Northeast and Northwest. Some, however, question subsidizing private companies with public dollars that could be used to improve transit. “The better path, in my opinion, would be to put this money and effort into making transit better and work for more people more often,” said James Pizzurro, lead developer of the real-time transit

app MetroHero. But Do said the taxi program is aimed at increasing Metro ridership in an area where 80% of residents live more than a 15-minute walk to a station and spend a large share of their income on transportation. He noted the subsidized trips have to begin or end at one of eight rail stations: Deanwood, Minnesota Ave, Capitol Heights, Benning Road, Anacostia, Congress Heights, Southern Ave and Naylor Road. Do said he’s evaluating the shuttle and taxi experiments, which will both run until at least Sept. 30. With the free shuttle program getting far more ridership thus far, he said that could replace the taxis east of the Anacostia. Meanwhile, the program’s bid to attract more riders by changing the subsidy from a flat rate might make it harder for people like Smith, whose trips tend to be longer and cost $20. Instead of paying $3, she’s responsible for the remaining $10 after the city picks up the first $10. “It’s hard on a strict [budget],” she said. Reach Kery Murakami at kery.murakami@washpost.com.

Region braces for a scorcher of a weekend WEATHER The Great Washington Heat Wave headed toward its crescendo Thursday, the eighth consecutive day with temperatures over 90 degrees in the Washington region. At least four even hotter days are expected to follow. The Washington Post’s Capital Weather Gang said temperatures could reach 100 degrees for the first time since 2016, with heat index values up to 115. An”excessive heat warning” was issued through Sunday. Local governments have activated heat emergency plans and are spreading the word about places that are open to the public where people can cool off. In D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser extended hours at some pools and splash parks until 9 p.m. through Sunday night and said that low-barrier shelters for the homeless will be open 24 hours a day. Cooling centers are open in publicly accessible government facilities, homeless shelters and senior citizen wellness centers until 6 p.m. or until it has been deemed safe to be outdoors. Arlington County reminded residents that MedStar Iceplex, where the Washington Capitals practice, was open. Fairfax County warned residents not to leave children, pets or the elderly alone in parked vehicles. Montgomery County urged the public to avoid strenuous activities.

When Earth stood still

NEIL ARMSTRONG (NASA VIA AP)

Buzz Aldrin gazes toward the American flag planted on the moon on July 20, 1969.

SPACE A half-century ago, in the middle of a mean year of war, famine, violence in the streets and the widening of the generation gap, men from planet Earth stepped onto another world for the first time, uniting people around the globe in a way not seen before or since. Hundreds of millions tuned in to radios or watched the grainy black-and-white images on TV as Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, in one of humanity’s most glorious technological achievements. Police around the world reported crime came to a near halt that midsummer Sunday night. Astronaut Michael Collins, who orbited the moon alone in the mother ship while Armstrong proclaimed for the ages, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” was struck by the banding together of Earth’s

inhabitants. “How often can you get people around our globe to agree on anything? Hardly ever,” Collins, now 88, told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “And yet briefly at the time of the first landing on the moon, people were united. They felt they were participants.” That sense of unity did not last long. But 50 years later, Apollo 11 — the culmination of eight years of breakneck labor involving a workforce of 400,000 and a price tag in the billions, all aimed at winning the space race and beating the Soviet Union to the moon — continues to thrill. A vast majority of Earth’s 7.7 billion inhabitants were born after Apollo ended, including NASA’s current administrator, 44-year-old Jim Bridenstine, who is overseeing the effort to send humans back to the moon by 2024. Back in 1961, NASA had barely 15 minutes of human suborbital flight under its belt — Alan

What Neil really said While millions of people on Earth heard Neil Armstrong say, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” as he stepped onto the moon, he insisted throughout his life that that’s not quite what he said. Armstrong, who died in 2012, maintained that he actually said, “That’s one small step for ‘a’ man,” but that a radio glitch caused the “a” to drop out. NASA research later backed him up. He also said he thought up the line only after landing on the moon. (AP)

Shepard’s history-making flight — when President John F. Kennedy issued the Cold War-era challenge of landing a man on the moon by decade’s end and returning him safely. At the time, the Soviets were beating America at every turn in the space race, with the first satellite, Sputnik, the first spaceman, Yuri Gagarin, and the first lunar probes. JFK’s challenge struck John Tribe, one of Cape Canaveral’s original rocket scientists, as impossible. Colleague Bill Waldron remembers working “seven days

a week, 12 hours a day, six months at a clip” on the lunar modules. “You know how we got to the moon as fast as we did is because we burned people out,” said Homer Hickam, a retired NASA engineer whose autobiography, “Rocket Boys,” became the 1999 movie “October Sky.” Hickam recalled the stress in the Alabama town where moon rockets were born. “Come to Huntsville, go to the cemetery, look at all those young men who are dead down there. They worked themselves to death,” he said. “Or better yet, go to the courthouse and look at all the divorce records. They abandoned their families.” The pressure was so intense leading up to the flight that Collins developed tics in both eyes. He privately gave the mission 50-50 odds of total success. Ultimately, the moonwalk lasted 2½ hours. The Eagle later reunited with the command module, Columbia, and the three astronauts headed home, splashing down July 24 in the Pacific. After spending 2½ weeks in quarantine in case they brought back deadly moon germs, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were given a parade in New York, followed by a frenzied world tour. Five more missions took men to the surface of the moon before Project Apollo came to a premature end, the last three flights on the schedule scrapped. NASA put the entire Apollo tab at $25 billion, equivalent to more than $150 billion in today’s dollars. The first lunar landing, at least, lifted America’s spirits — indeed, the planet’s — when it needed it. “The Vietnam War, civil strife, racial strife, all kinds of stuff going on that was bad, which I wasn’t paying much attention to because I was working so hard in the space world ...” said JoAnn Morgan, Apollo 11’s lone female launch controller. “It was such a demonstration of the power and the passion of our country.” She added: “I mean, literally, we did exactly what JFK said we would do.” MARCIA DUNN (AP)

Memories of watching Apollo 11

Millions watched live TV coverage in 1969 as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon.

When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their first steps on the moon in 1969, the world was watching. Live TV coverage allowed millions to witness history. Even now, 50 years later, that day is still deeply etched in memories of many. The National Air and Space Museum, NASA and others have gathered their stories for this week’s golden anniversary. Here are a few. (AP)

Frank Schramm

Peter Cowin

June Dorricott

Montclair, N.J.

Cheltenham, England

Brisbane, Australia

Frank Schramm was 12 years old and away at summer camp for four weeks in Hawley, Pa. The only problem was that they didn’t have a television there. At his suggestion, the camp rented a small, 15-inch TV: “It was set up that Sunday, July 20th, and there were only two chairs in the pingpong room. I staked out my place the whole day. I will never forget that evening of all 175 campers and I sitting in the chair, watching this small blackand-white TV with Neil Armstrong coming out of the lunar module in that very blurry image from the moon. The room was in total awe, you could hear a pin drop. I will never forget this day!”

Peter Cowin stayed up until the middle of the night to watch the moon landing. “I was something of a space junkie at the time,” he said. The 13-year-old was the only one awake at home. But for him, it was worth missing sleep: “At first the picture was upside down and horribly grainy, but it improved as time went on so I could see two ghostly figures — raising the flag, setting up experiments, and taking that ‘giant leap for mankind.’ The day after, it seemed as if the whole world was celebrating and uplifted at the thought of what ‘we’ had achieved. The moon landings showed us that mankind could achieve absolutely anything it set its mind to.”

While others were watching in the wee hours, June Dorricott was spending the afternoon home on an unofficial day off from school: “I was seven years old and waiting at the bus stop in a little town called Toowoomba, Australia, when my mother came up to get me. She told me I didn’t have to go to school because a man was going to walk on the moon. Little Judy Wakefield … started to cry, and mum told her she had the day off too, so she could go home. I found out much later in life that we didn’t actually have off school. I really think she thought it was important that we witness a man make history live on TV.”

Attack on anime studio kills at least 33 in Japan

HUMAN RECORD SMASHED

AI can solve Rubik’s Cube in 1.2 seconds

TOKYO Employees at a building owned by Kyoto Animation, one of Japan’s premier anime production houses, were in the middle of the work morning Thursday in their sleepy suburb when a man entered the building. He began to spray a flammable liquid around the office, police said. As he did so, he screamed: “Die!” Then came the inferno. The workers made a frantic — and futile — attempt to escape. Firefighters wrestled for hours with the blaze. In the end, at least 33 people were confirmed dead in the apparent arson attack, according to the Kyoto City fire department, with another 36 injured and hospitalized. It was the worst death toll in Japan from fire since a Tokyo office building blaze claimed 44 lives in 2001. Though a 41-year-old suspect is now in police custody, the motive behind the startling attack on an animation house remains unclear and largely incomprehensible. The incident has shaken Japan, a country where mass violence remains relatively rare and animated production is a national obsession. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe described it as an

Dozens more injured after man shouting ‘Die!’ ignites inferno

Smoke billows from a studio owned by Kyoto Animation on Thursday after a man burst in and set fire to the building, killing at least 33 people.

“arson and murder case” in a message on Twitter. “It’s so tragic that I am at a loss for words,” he wrote. Founded in 1981, Kyoto Animation is one of the country’s most important producers of anime, a Japanese style of animated art that often features vibrant graphics and fantastical storytelling. Though the company initially worked in support of more famous studios like Tokyo’s Studio Ghibli, in recent years Kyoto Animation’s own productions have garnered international acclaim. For those in the anime world, the fire brought shock and despair. Kyoto Animation had been known not just for the quality of

its work but also the kindness with which it treated its staff — a rarity in an industry where long hours and low pay are the norm. The company employed more women than most anime production houses. Mikihide Daikoku of the Kyoto City fire department said that 20 of the 33 people who died in the blaze were women. Hideaki Hatta, co-founder and president of the company, said the studio had been receiving threats. “We have received protests against our company — not a few of them, if not on a daily basis, ” he told broadcaster NHK.

Few things reveal the limits of someone’s problem-solving skills faster than a Rubik’s Cube. Although the cube has furrowed countless human brows since the 1970s, it’s not much of a challenge for an emerging group of hyper-intelligent machines. This week, the University of California at Irvine announced that an artificial intelligence system known as DeepCubeA solved the puzzle in just 1.2 seconds, besting the current human world record by more than two seconds. DeepCubeA was able to solve the puzzle without prior knowledge of the game, the university said. (TWP)

G-7 is alarmed by Facebook’s cryptocurrency CHANTILLY, FRANCE Finance chiefs from seven leading industrial nations issued a stark warning Thursday that cryptocurrencies like the Libra digital money recently unveiled by Facebook should not be allowed before “serious regulatory and systemic concerns” are addressed. France, which this year chairs the Group of Seven gatherings on topics such as the economy and security, said it fears that encrypted digital currency could spiral out of control. France’s concluding summary from this week’s meeting said the finance officials agreed that while cryptocurrencies could help make payments cheaper and more efficient around the world, they could also be used for money laundering and terrorism financing and could even endanger the stability of global currencies. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire, above, likened the creation of Libra to the development of a new state: “We won’t allow private states to emerge that would have the same privileges of a state but without the controls that go with it.” Facebook might peg Libra to existing currencies to make it more stable than the likes of Bitcoin. Governments are rushing to assess how that would affect or destabilize the economy if, for instance, the cryptocurrency decided to weigh in favor of the dollar or the euro. THOMAS ADAMSON (AP)

Trump tries to disavow chant N.C. rally crowd yelled ‘Send her back!’ about Somali-born lawmaker

Files contradict Trump on bid to quiet Daniels

ZACH GIBSON (GETTY IMAGES)

POLITICS President Trump said Thursday that he disagreed with a chant at his campaign rally of “Send her back!” directed at a Somali-born lawmaker whom he targeted in recent days with almost identical language. His comments in the Oval Office came after House Republicans questioned Vice President Pence about the episode in a private meeting and asked Trump to distance himself from the racially charged rhetoric. “I wasn’t happy with that message that they gave last night,” Trump said of the crowd at his rally in Greenville, N.C., on Wednesday night. “I was not happy when I heard that chant.” Pressed by a reporter why he did not try to stop the chant directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar, DMinn., Trump said he thought he had done so by starting to speak again “very quickly.” “I started very quickly, and I think you know that,” he said. In fact, the president did not start speaking immediately, but paused for about 13 seconds as the chants were heard. On Sunday, Trump suggested that Omar and three other congresswomen “go back” to “the crime infested places from which they came.” Three of those lawmakers — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y., Ayanna

President Trump speaks in Greenville, N.C., where the crowd chanted “Send her back!” about a Somali-born lawmaker.

Pressley, Mass., and Rashida Tlaib, Mich. — are from the United States. Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000. A sked wh at he t hought prompted the chant, Trump told reporters that they should go to North Carolina and ask the people there. And he said that if such a chant took place again, he would try to stop it. Upon returning to the White House on Wednesday, Trump tweeted about the energy at the rally, writing, “What a crowd, and what great people.” His comments Thursday came during an event with members of the U.S. team in the Special Olympics. Just hours earlier, House

Republican leaders asked Pence in a private meeting at his residence to convey to Trump their unease about the language. During the meeting, Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C., a former pastor who had been at the rally, told Pence that “we have to be defined by our policies, not by offensive chants,” according to a person familiar with the discussion who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private conversations. Trump restated his disagreement with the chants during a later meeting in the Oval Office but said the four lawmakers “have a big obligation — and the obligation is to love your country.” E a rl i e r T h u r s d a y,

congressional Republicans sought to walk a fine line between condemning the chant and continuing to stand by Trump’s efforts to turn the four lawmakers into the face of the Democratic Party. Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., chairman of the campaign committee for House Republicans, told reporters that there was “no place for that kind of talk.” But Emmer also defended Trump for his tweets that suggested Omar and the three other minority lawmakers should “go back” to their ancestral countries. Emmer said “there’s not a racist bone in Trump’s body” and “what he was trying to say, he said wrong.” J O H N WA G N E R , R A C H A E L B A D E A N D MIKE DEBONIS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

WASHINGTON Newly unsealed court documents show that thencandidate Donald Trump communicated repeatedly with his lawyer Michael Cohen amid the election year scramble to keep quiet allegations that Trump previously had an affair with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels. The documents were released Thursday at the direction of a federal judge in New York, who disclosed a day before that an investigation into suspected campaign finance violations had ended. Trump and those close to him long said they were unaware that Cohen had bought the women’s silence, but phone calls and text messages documented by the FBI suggest they were closely involved. The new details about the investigation are unlikely to have legal consequences for the president or those close to him because the hush-money investigation has concluded. However, the documents could further erode their credibility. Cohen, who is serving a three-year prison sentence, issued a statement saying: “I and members of The Trump Organization were directed by Mr. Trump to handle the Stormy Daniels matter; including making the hush money payment.” The president’s lawyer, Jay Sekulow, offered a terse comment: “Case closed.” DEVLIN BARRETT, ROSALIND S.

nation+world Gulf incident follows seizure of oil tanker by Revolutionary Guard NATIONAL SECURITY A U.S. warship on Thursday destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz after it threatened the ship, President Trump said. The incident marked a new escalation of tensions between the countries less than one month after Iran downed an American drone in the same waterway and Trump came close to retaliating with a military strike. In remarks at the White House, Trump blamed Iran for a “provocative and hostile” action and said the U.S. responded in selfdefense. Iran’s foreign minister,

Mohammad Javad Zarif, told reporters as he arrived for a meeting at the United Nations that “we have no information about losing a drone today.” The clash in one of the busiest waterways for international oil traffic highlighted the risk of war between two countries at odds over a wide range of issues. After Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal last year and imposed additional economic sanctions, the Iranians have pushed back on the military front, allegedly sabotaging Saudi and other oil tankers in the Gulf, shooting down a U.S. drone on June 20 and stepping up support for Houthi rebels in Yemen. Adding to the economic pressure on Tehran, the Treasury

Trump said the Navy’s USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, took defensive action after the Iranian aircraft closed to within 1,000 yards of the ship and ignored multiple calls to stand down. Earlier Thursday, Iran said its Revolutionary Guard seized a foreign oil tanker and its crew of 12 for smuggling fuel out of the country, and hours later released video showing the vessel to be a United Arab Emirates-based ship that had vanished in Iranian waters over the weekend.

MAKING MOVES

Wizards will shuffle staff, sources say

Rookie Love isn’t dwelling on bad luck REDSKINS Nobody would blame Redskins running back Bryce Love for being angry. Just 18 months ago he was the top running back in college football with 2,118 yards and 19 touchdowns his junior year at Stanford, had nearly won the Heisman Trophy and appeared ready to make millions in the NFL as a possible first-round pick. All he had to do was leave a year early for the draft. But Love didn’t take a heavy course load of biology classes during his junior season to leave college without a degree. He wants to be a doctor someday. The diploma mattered, as did the team he didn’t want to abandon. In the end, he said no to the NFL, betting on his senior season. Then everything went wrong. The yards that so easily disappeared beneath his cleats in the fall of 2017 did not come as easy in 2018, falling below 1,000. And he tore the ACL in his right knee

during the season’s final game. Any hope of the first round was gone. When the Redskins finally picked him in April’s draft, he had plummeted to the fourth round. And yet he smiles as he sits in a restaurant during a recent day of apartment shopping with his parents. There are no regrets, he says. “I don’t play football for the money,” he says. “I genuinely love the game from when I was a kid playing around in the backyard.” Love won’t practice when the Redskins begin training camp next week. He might not play this season, given Washington’s glut of running backs. There is no schedule for Love to return. “This kid does not see cloudy skies,” Stanford coach David Shaw says. “He only sees where he has to go.” Love has what he calls a “10-minute rule.” He allows himself to dwell on something for 10 minutes and then moves

Prolific Stanford running back went from Heisman hopeful to fourth-round selection

“This kid does not see cloudy skies. He only sees where he has to go.” DAVID SHAW, who coached Bryce Love at Stanford. After a phenomenal junior year, Love chose to play one more season and finish his education — but tore his ACL and watched his draft stock plummet.

on. It’s a policy that he says he developed during his time at Stanford, where he decided that it was useless to obsess over mistakes or bad plays or even injuries. Better to move forward. The $3.3 million Love will make over four seasons in

Washington is not insignificant but seems puny when compared to the $11.6 million the Redskins will pay linebacker Montez Sweat, their second first-round pick. To an outsider, last season must look like a disaster for Love. But he sees it differently. He says he matured and became a better leader while also developing his on-field skill set as a blocker and pass-catcher. “I believe in myself,” he says. Someday soon he’ll finish his recovery and return to the field. And when he is done with football, he is sure he will become a doctor — hopefully with his own practice. W ho could have a ny re gret about that? LES CARPENTER

The Wizards are in the preliminary stages of a shift that would promote Jarell Christian from the G League to an NBA assistant coach role and have Ryan Richman take over head coaching duties with the Capital City Go-Go, according to several people with knowledge of the plans. Christian, below, coached the minor league team last season in its inaugural campaign, while Richman was one of the Wizards’ five assistant coaches. Christian, who turns 33 on Friday, spent four seasons (2014-18) as an assistant with the Thunder’s G League affiliate, overlapping with Wizards head coach Scott Brooks’ time as the Thunder’s head coach. Richman, who graduated from Maryland in 2011, has been with the Wizards for four seasons. CANDACE BUCKNER (TWP)

Lowry flies under the radar Irishman’s 4-under 67 lands him in 2nd place after first day of Open

GOLF The buzz among the locals at Royal Portrush has been all about Northern Ireland natives Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell this week, so Shane Lowry felt like he came into his “home” British Open a little under the radar. “Obviously not now,” he said. The man from across the Irish border was in second place Thursday after the first round of the first British Open in Northern Ireland since 1951. He quelled early jitters to shoot a 4-under 67 that could easily have been better. Lowry, 32, quickly felt at ease on the Dunluce Links. He saw familiar faces in the crowd, and knew much of the course having won the North of Ireland title there as an amateur in 2008. Indeed, Lowry was so confident about his game and the surroundings that he was happy to roll into Portrush late Monday. Three days later, Lowry was hitting his best opening round at a major and only behind J.B. Holmes (66) on the leaderboard.

Lowry last made a splash at a major in 2016, when he took a four-shot lead into the final round of the U.S. Open. He closed with a 76 to finish tied for second behind Dustin Johnson but was still being talked about as the latest big thing to come out of the island of Ireland, especially since he’d won the World Golf Championship at Firestone a year earlier.

The NHL isn’t hosting preseason games in China this fall but is sending Alex Ovechkin to grow hockey’s footprint in the country of 1.3 billion.

He had an eighth place at the PGA Championship and now the firstround lead at the British Open. “I was probably as nervous as I’ve been in quite a while on the first tee, almost ever,” Lowry said. “Look, nerves are a good thing, aren’t they? It’s where you want to be. I just hope I’m nervous on Sunday afternoon out there. It’s right where you want to be, and

you have to tell yourself that when you’re there.” Lowry, from Clara, Ireland, has missed the cut in his last four appearances at the British Open but says his head is in a better place than in recent years.

BOXING Teofimo Lopez promises a celebration Friday night, although the undefeated lightweight is not revealing how exactly he plans to delight boxing fans at The Theater at MGM National Harbor following his first appearance in the D.C. area since turning professional. Among the triumphant highlights over the first 13 bouts of his career, including 11 by knockout, are the “Take the L” dance from the wildly popular video game Fortnite as well as the Heisman Trophy pose. “He does it out of entertaining the crowd,” said trainer and father, Teofimo Lopez Sr. “That’s what people don’t understand. All these boxers are taking the fights too serious. They’re forgetting their surroundings. … Make sure the people leave with a smile on their face.” The younger Lopez has done so with power, technical precision and flair in his ascension to world title contender, with an eye toward a unification bout against Vasiliy Lomachenko, whom ESPN and The Ring rate as the top poundfor-pound fighter in the world. But first, Lopez needs to win a major belt. He’ll get that title shot if he defeats Japan’s Masayoshi Nakatani (18-0, 12 KOs) in a 12-round eliminator (Friday, 10 p.m., ESPN+) for the right to face Richard Commey, the International Boxing Federation’s 135-pound champion.

Zazu (John Oliver) subscribes to a “don’t eat the messenger” mantra.

A grown-up ‘Lion King’ Disney’s photorealistic update goes deeper into the savanna — and into ‘Hamlet’ FILM REVIEW There’s something about Disney’s upgraded, virtual-fleshand-blood version of “The Lion King” — which, like the original, has its narrative roots in “Hamlet” — that feels so much more Shakespearean, and so much more tragic than the 1994 feature-length animated film, in which the story’s darker themes were subliminal, not center stage. Here, the death of a beloved character, one whose fur looks so real you could pet it, is that much harder to take. The shadow of mortality is never very far away, even when the action shifts to the lowbrow humor of the flatulent warthog Pumbaa (voice of Seth Rogen) and his catty sidekick, Timon the meerkat (Billy Eichner). They’re a scene-stealing duo whose comic relief goes a long way toward softening some of the movie’s harsher angles and brightening some of its duskier corners. Just as reluctant prince Simba (voiced as a child by JD McCrary and later by Donald Glover) eventually grows up, so, apparently, has the film. The chorus of awws that arose from a recent

preview audience at the first sight of Simba, the adorable heir to Mufasa (James Earl Jones, reprising his role from the first film), eventually gives way to genuine awe, in the true sense of wonder mixed with dread. Mufasa rules the Pride Lands with a combination of benevolence and a strength that instills fear, teaching his son that all living things are connected (most obviously, those that eat each other). Thanks to the photorealistic CGI animation, every strand of Simba’s fur looks cuddle-ably real. But so does everything else in the film too — water, butterflies, teeth — to a degree that is as stunning as it is scary whenever,

‘The Art of Self-Defense’ R, 104 min.

A black comedy about a milquetoast accountant (Jesse Eisenberg) who, after a mugging, signs up for karate lessons from a hyper-macho nut job (Alessandro Nivola), “The Art of Self-Defense” is meant to hold up its portrayal of toxic masculinity to ridicule. But Riley Stearns’ movie struggles to maintain the balance between detachment from and engagement with the thing it’s making fun of. M.O.

younger viewers than the first film was — and it surely is — it’s also more likely to satisfy older ones. There’s real meat to chew on in this “Lion King.” It’s also Disney, so don’t expect a disquisition on death and dishonor. “The Lion King” is hugely entertaining, from the dazzling visuals to the top-notch voice cast, which also includes Beyoncé as Simba’s lioness ladylove Nala and John Oliver as the neurotic hornbill Zazu. Yes, this movie is a safari to the shadowland, a place of death and fear. But it’s just deep enough to give a cat who’s come of age something to sink his teeth into.

Awkwafina, center, plays Billi, the stand-in for “The Farewell” writer-director Lulu Wang.

‘The Farewell’ (PG, 98 min.) DIRECTOR: Lulu Wang STARS: Awkwafina, Tzi Ma, Diana Lin, Zhao Shuzhen, Lu Hong QUICK TAKE: This delightful, insightful film possesses a generous helping of laughs, but never at the expense of the rueful tenderness at its core, a tonal balance skillfully maintained by Wang and a wonderful ensemble of mostly Chinese actors. ANN HORNADAY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MATT MCCLAIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

FILM The making of Lulu Wang’s new movie, “The Farewell,” was very nearly the tale of a filmmaker letting go of her own story. Wang’s film is based on real events from 2013, when her grandmother — known as Nai Nai — was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, but went on unaware after the family decided to shield her from the news. As a character explains in the film, “Chinese people have a saying: When people get cancer, they die. It’s not the cancer that kills them — it’s the fear.” In real life, Nai Nai’s relatives were spread around the globe, with Wang and her parents based in the U.S. after moving from China when she was 6. So the family orchestrated a fake wedding, between Wang’s cousin and his Japanese girlfriend, as an excuse to bring the entire clan back to China to say their goodbyes to Nai Nai without tipping her off to the illness. Wang began writing the script in 2014, the year her debut film, “Posthumous,” came out. But producers had their own ideas about how her story should be told.

“As I was pitching to producers, they were like, ‘It’s obvious — if you’re going to make a wedding movie, then the main character has to be the bride,’ ” Wang says. “ ‘And she doesn’t get along with her boyfriend anymore. And he’s American. He’s a white guy. But somehow she convinces him, and they come and they force this wedding. And they end up falling in love again.’ ” Wang takes a breath and laughs: “Very different movie.” It wasn’t until 2016, when she told her family story on NPR’s “This American Life,” that her vision for the film gained traction. Within two days of the episode airing, Wang was fielding calls from producers who now were offering her creative freedom to write and direct a more

Wang says she got in touch with her feelings while scripting the film.

personal, honest take. “I sort of scrapped the old version of the script,” Wang says. “I had gone through so many of those iterations that I no longer knew what was mine, and what were the compromises.” Ultimately, “The Farewell” strayed only minimally from the real-life narrative. Starring Zhao Shuzhen as Nai Nai and “Crazy Rich Asians” breakout Awkwafina as Billi, the protagonist Wang crafted as a stand-in for herself, the film premiered to acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival in January. It expands to Washington on Friday, having earned 2019’s best per-screen average at the domestic box office in limited

release this past weekend. “The Farewell” delivers a heartstring-tugging parable about family, mortality and the immigrant experience as Billi spars with relatives over the ethical quandary at hand. In returning to Nai Nai’s hometown of Changchun for filming last year, Wang revisited her guilty feelings while introducing the cast and crew to members of her actual family. “When I went through the experience … I had no one to turn to and say, ‘This is crazy. I feel like this is wrong,’ so I had to just spin around in my own head,” Wang says. “It was so great to be back there now with all of these people who not only saw it from my perspective, but were trying to tell the story through that perspective.” In the film, Wang’s conflicted perspective comes spilling out via an achingly heartfelt speech by Awkwafina’s Billi. Although they were words the writer-director never mustered in real life, having an opportunity to tell her story on film provided the catharsis she didn’t know she needed. “I never really had a moment where I actually said how I felt,” Wang says. “Maybe, to me, I didn’t know how I actually felt until I did this script.”

AWARDS “Sesame Street” will make history in December at the Kennedy Center Honors as the first television program to receive the distinguished performing arts award. Actress Sally Field, singer Linda Ronstadt and R&B band Earth Wind & Fire will also be recognized for their lifetime achievements. Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas is the fifth honoree, a nod to the fine arts. The Dec. 8 production in the Opera House will be broadcast Dec. 15 on CBS. The unusual selection of “Sesame Street” comes during its 50th-anniversary year, a great moment to celebrate the groundbreaking show, Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter said in Thursday’s announcement. “They’re so universally loved,” Rutter said. “When we raised the possibility of it, there was such an overwhelming enthusiasm.” Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, co-founders of the Sesame Workshop, will accept the award. The selection comes a year after the Kennedy Center gave a special honor to “Hamilton,” the first time a work of art had been honored. “We are celebrating the output of the group of people, not the people [themselves],” Rutter said. “In the case of ‘Hamilton,’ it was early in its lifetime. This is a lifetime achievement moment at 50.” PEGGY MCGLONE

SUMMARY: Strippers swindle Wall Street bankers in this movie based on a 2015 New York magazine article. Constance Wu is the mastermind behind the scam, and the trailer also has a lot of Jennifer Lopez as her no-nonsense mentor. Less present: Cardi B and Lizzo, in their live-action film debuts. Stop holding out on us, “Hustlers”! THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

SUMMARY: “For 27 years, I dreamt of you,” says Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård), in a line that could come across as sweet, were it not being rasped by a psychotic demon clown. Our final look at the horror sequel connects the first film’s child cast with this movie’s adults, raising the question: Is Finn Wolfhard going to look like Bill Hader when he grows up? T.F.

@BEDIER, supporting Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., after President Trump’s supporters chanted “Send her back!” at a Wednesday rally. The chants came after Trump tweeted earlier this week that Omar — who was born in Somalia — and three American-born congresswomen should “go back” to where they came from. #IStandWithIlhan was trending Wednesday and Thursday after video of the rally surfaced. On Thursday, Trump said he was “not happy” with the chants and tried to stop them, though video shows him standing silently.

“How many times do we have to ask for chronological order back?” @JENNACOCORULLO, slamming

Instagram’s newest change: hiding the number of likes on posts. The test is being run in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Italy and New Zealand to encourage users to focus on the quality of their content. But many users simply want their feeds to be in chronological order, a format ditched in 2016.

“Definitely thought this was a new FaceApp feature. Still not sure. Is this really from ‘Cats’?” @QUINTABRUNSON, joking about the first trailer for “Cats,” which dropped Thursday evening. Fans and critics alike were taken aback by the actors’ transformation into cats. Though a Wednesday featurette briefly detailed the “digital fur technology” used, many compared it to a filter on FaceApp, which allows users to change their appearance.

“He probably yelled ‘Thug life!’ and emptied the stapler clip on the way out.” @DON_WON_23, tweeting about the forced resignation of Jerry Foxhoven, left, the director of Iowa’s Department of Human Services. According to an Associated Press report, Foxhoven resigned the day after he sent an agency-wide email marking his two-year anniversary as director and the birthday of late rapper Tupac Shakur. Foxhoven was a known Tupac fan: He sent employees inspirational lyrics from songs and was gifted Tupac-themed cookies on his birthday. Gov. Kim Reynolds says she did not ask Foxhoven to resign over the emails.

DIFFICULT

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may experience something of a rough ride today, as you stop and start quite suddenly to address the unexpected. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’re likely to receive the support you expect — and, by all accounts, deserve. But take care that you don’t become complacent. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’re getting used to something that is in no way advantageous, but you should continue working toward its eradication. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Tension rises today, and you’re in a position to ease it when you can. No one else is likely to have quite the right touch. THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Overindulgence today is sure to win you more than physical ills; the criticism you receive may be harder to deal with than anything else.

THURSDAY’S SOLUTION

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are creeping closer, ever closer, to a precipice. It’s a personal situation, but one you may want to share with a friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Everything makes a difference today, and that which you ignore or overlook is likely to do more to slow you down than anything else. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

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

may have to do something in a very strange way today in order for it to have the effect you desire. Use your imagination. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) While trying to maximize your stability, you may encounter someone who threatens to overturn the entire boat. It’s time for you to step in.

Fill in each column, row and 3x3 box with the digits 1 through 9 without repeating any. The twist in Samurai Sudoku is that the digits that appear in the overlapping boxes must work for both puzzles. A piece of advice to get you started: Don’t focus on completing one grid at a time. Keep the whole puzzle in mind as you go, because filling in a number in one grid could give you clues to another.
