Mystery in Jamestown, Va. JAMESTOWN, VA. The skeleton was beautifully laid out in a formal English-style burial, hands at the sides, palms down, the body probably pinned up in a shroud. The arms, legs and ribs were largely intact. But the skull, which was crucial, was gone. So when Mary Anna Hartley, picking at the dirt in the bottom of the 400-year-old grave, stumbled on the next best thing, she yelled, “Teeth!” David M. Givens, director of archaeology at Jamestown Rediscovery, exulted, “Teeth.” That was last Sunday, and it was a breakthrough in the excavation of a grave believed to be that of Sir George Yeardley, who oversaw the first representative government assembly in English America, and was also one of the first slaveholders in what would become the United States. A team of archaeologists from Jamestown Rediscovery, aided by experts from the Smithsonian, has been gradually uncovering the skeleton, which was buried

in a prominent spot in one of the first churches here. The scientists are trying to determine: Is the person in the grave George Yeardley? The story of Yeardley, whom most people have never heard of,

has risen in importance recently because next summer marks the 400th anniversary of the first representative assembly in English America, which Yeardley convened, under instructions from the Virginia Company,

which controlled the colony. It also marks the 400th anniversary of the arrival on U.S. soil of the first enslaved Africans, some of whom he purchased, according to historians. Thus, he is tied to two of the chief veins in American history — representative government and slavery, which took root in the same summer, in the same place. Yeardley was the colony’s governor when he died, and would have gotten a special burial place in the church. According to a forthcoming book, “1619: Jamestown and the Forging of American Democracy,” by James Horn, president of Jamestown Rediscovery, Yeardley was a knight. A mysterious tomb slab bearing the imprint of decorations typical of a knight’s tomb was found at the site in the early 1900s. Horn believes the black limestone tomb slab was probably Yeardley’s. It’s in the middle aisle of the church, just before the altar — “a pretty prime spot to be buried,” said archaeologist Hartley, a perfect spot for “a state burial.” As research continues, the final answer may be months in coming.

Vessel honors slain war hero ALEXANDRIA A military band played, flags snapped in the breeze, 24 members of the new ship’s crew stood at attention and Coast Guard brass, including the commandant, filled an Alexandria dock Wednesday morning to commission a new ship named after the first Coast Guardsman killed in action since the Vietnam War. Nathan Bruckenthal, a Herndon High School graduate who died during the Iraq War in 2004, would have been proud — and embarrassed — by the hoopla surrounding the commissioning of the USCG Nathan Bruckenthal, his older sister said. “Nobody could entertain like Nathan. Nobody could light up a room, make you feel loved and laugh like him,” said his sister, Noabeth Bruckenthal. “His pride [in the Coast Guard] was tremendous … but he’d be completely humbled by this.” Bruckenthal, a 25-year-old

petty officer third class, was killed in the Persian Gulf when he and six sailors from the USS Firebolt sought to board and investigate a “dhow,” or small sailboat, that was drawing too close to an Iraqi oil terminal. As Bruckenthal’s team pulled alongside, a suicide bomber aboard the dhow detonated, killing Bruckenthal and two Navy sailors, Michael Pernaselli of Monroe, N.Y., and Christopher Watts of Knoxville, Tenn. His Bronze Star citation said that because of Bruckenthal’s and his team’s actions, nearby security forces were alerted to a larger coordinated attack and were able to stop two similar explosive-laden vessels before they detonated. Bruckenthal is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The ship’s new commanding officer, Lt. Bryan Kilcoin, said Bruckenthal was on his second deployment to the Persian Gulf and had volunteered for a second watch on the day he was killed. He called Bruckenthal the embodiment of honor, respect and devotion to duty. Kilcoin said the ship’s crew

D.C.’s fight against HIV stalls THE DISTRICT The District’s efforts to curb the spread of HIV stalled last year, while diagnoses of other sexually transmitted diseases surged to record highs, according to a new public health report. About 400 people received HIV diagnoses during Mayor Muriel Bowser’s first year in office in 2015. As part of a broader strategy to end the spread of the

disease in the nation’s capital, Bowser set a goal of cutting that number in half by 2020. The latest city data show the challenges ahead. In 2017, 368 District residents received HIV diagnoses — just one fewer diagnosis than the previous year. Health officials say long-term trends still show a stable decline in new infections. “I describe this sort of as a pause when you had so many years of continual decreases,” said Michael Kharfen, who leads STD prevention at the D.C. Department of Health. “But this

does raise a flag for us that what we’ve been doing has been working, but now we have to step it up.” Although HIV infections are leveling out, curable STDs are on the rise. The city reported 10,157 cases of chlamydia last year, a 35 percent increase since 2013. And there were 5,070 cases of gonorrhea, marking a 56 percent spike in the same period. Those figures mirror national studies that found sexually transmitted diseases have hit record highs as local STD clinics have closed. FENIT NIRAPPIL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Officer held without bail after drug trafficking arrest

$625K settlement reached in suit over inmate’s death

Metro Transit Police said they seized dozens of stolen cellphones along with cash and SmartTrip cards while investigating three juveniles in connection with robberies. In a statement issued Tuesday, the transit police said they had arrested the three in connection with “multiple robberies.” However, police indicated that they had not charged any of the youths in more than two robberies. A photograph posted on a transit police Twitter feed showed what appeared to be at least two dozen phones. Police said they were continuing to investigate and were sharing information with D.C. police. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

A Baltimore police officer is facing drug trafficking charges in a neighboring county. Baltimore County police said Wednesday that officers spotted a drug transaction in Woodlawn on Tuesday and detained two men. Police said officers learned one man, 34-yearold Spencer Moore, was a Baltimore police officer. Police said they found more than 100 Oxycodone pills in the car Moore was driving. Moore is facing drug trafficking charges and is being held without bail. County police say city police worked with them during the investigation. Officials said Moore has been suspended without pay.

A MESSAGE FROM METRO GM/CEO

PAUL J. WIEDEFELD Next month, Metro crews will work around the clock for 10 commuting days to completely rebuild the decades old track infrastructure at the tightest and most heavily traveled curve in the Metrorail system. The work will improve safety and reliability by installing new rail and new fasteners and repairing the concrete pads that support the rails. We have taken every possible effort to minimize customer inconvenience, provide alternatives where possible, and schedule these projects for late summer when ridership is generally lighter. We know this project – combined with the work on the Red Line – will be greatly disruptive for our customers, but the reality is that these projects are necessary to keep Metro on its current path of improved safety and reliability. Thank you for your understanding as we continue the hard work of rebuilding, reforming and improving transit for the region.

Metro and the District Department of Transportation established a temporary dedicated bus lane to help shuttle customers to and from downtown DC during the Red Line shutdown. The bus lane helps move up to 60 buses per hour and serves as an example of innovative projects that can help commuters.

Huge lake of salty water lies under ice on Mars

APRIL THE GIRAFFE

YouTube’s tallest star is pregnant

SCIENCE A huge lake of salty water appears to be buried deep in Mars, raising the possibility of finding life on the red planet, scientists reported Wednesday. The discovery, based on observations by a European spacecraft, generated excitement from experts. Water is essential to life as we know it, and scientists have long sought to prove that the liquid is present on Mars. “If these researchers are right, this is the first time we’ve found evidence of a large water body on Mars,” said Cassie Stuurman, a geophysicist at the University of Texas who found signs of an enormous Martian ice deposit in 2016. “Our mantra back then was, ‘follow the water,’” Scott Hubbard, a professor of astronautics at Stanford University who served as NASA’s first Mars program director in 2000, said. “So this discovery, if it stands, is just thrilling because it’s the culmination of that philosophy.” The study, published in the journal Science, does not determine how deep the reservoir actually is. This means that scientists can’t specify whether it’s an underground pool, an aquiferlike body or just a layer of sludge. To find the water, Italian

Study based on years of radar signals raises possibility of life

researchers analyzed radar signals collected over three years by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express spacecraft. Their results suggest that a 12-milewide reservoir lies below a mile of ice near the planet’s south pole. They spent at least two years examining the data to make sure they’d detected water, not ice or another substance. “I really have no other explanation,” said astrophysicist Roberto Orosei of Italy’s National Institute of Astrophysics in Bologna, the lead author of the study. Mars is very cold, but the water might have been kept from freezing by dissolved salts. It’s the same as when you put salt on a

road, said Kirsten Siebach, a planetary geologist at Rice University who wasn’t part of the study. “This water would be extremely cold, right at the point where it’s about to freeze. And it would be salty. Those are not ideal conditions for life to form,” Siebach said. Still, she said, there are microbes on Earth that have been able to adapt to environments like that. Orosei said, “It’s tempting to think that this is the first candidate place where life could persist” on Mars. He suspects Mars may contain other hidden bodies of water, waiting to be discovered.

Victim: Perfume turned out to be deadly poison AMESBURY, ENGLAND When Charlie Rowley found a sealed box containing a bottle of perfume on the ground in the English town of Amesbury, he figured it would make a great gift for his girlfriend of two years, Dawn Sturgess. He gave it to her on June 30, never imagining the bottle was filled with a poisonous nerve agent called Novichok, a Russian-made chemical weapon. Rowley, one of only four people in the world known to have survived Novichok poisoning, spoke with Britain’s ITV on Tuesday. He said he removed the bottle from a cellophane wrapper to put a pump dispenser on it, and got some liquid on his hands. “I washed it off, and I didn’t think anything of it,” he said. Then, Rowley said his girlfriend sprayed some of the liquid on her wrists. Within 15 minutes, she told Rowley she had a headache, and then went to draw a bath. Rowley said he found her clothed in the bath in a “very ill state.” Sturgess died just over a week later, on July 8. The incident came four months after former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were hospitalized because of Novichok exposure in Salisbury, a city 8 miles away from Amesbury. British police don’t believe Rowley and Sturgess were directly targeted. Officials are trying to figure out if the same batch of Novichok was used in both poisonings, The Guardian reported.

Scores die as Pakistan votes PAKISTAN After an election campaign overshadowed by violence and allegations of fraud, Pakistanis voted Wednesday for a new government that will face challenges of a crumbling economy and ongoing bloodshed by militants whose latest attack saw a suicide bomber kill 31 people outside a polling station. Official results declaring an outright winner were not expected before this morning. However, unofficial early results gave cricket star Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Party a commanding lead over his main rival, Shahbaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League. Jubilant Khan supporters danced to the beat of drums at his party headquarters in Islamabad, sensing a victory. The sound of fire crackers echoed in the sky. Sharif, the younger brother of disgraced Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has been jailed on corruption charges, disputed the election results even before they

were announced. He charged fraud and vowed not to accept the results, generating fears that disgruntled losers could delay the formation of the next government. The parliamentary balloting marked only the second time in Pakistan’s 71-year history that one civilian government has handed power to another in the

country of 200 million people. There also have been widespread concerns during the election campaign about manipulation by the military, which has directly or indirectly ruled the country for most of its existence. “We will sweep the elections,” said Abdul Basit, a supporter of Khan’s, who watched the results

on a large TV screen. Hours after polls opened, a suicide bomber on a motorcycle detonated his explosives in a crowd waiting to vote in the southwestern city of Quetta. In addition to the 31 dead, the attack wounded 35 people, said Dr. Jaffar Kakar, a hospital official. No one immediately claimed responsibility, but local officials were quick to blame the Islamic State. The attack in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, underscored the difficulties the majority-Muslim nation faces on its wobbly journey toward sustained democracy. Baluchistan also saw the worst violence during campaigning earlier this month, when a suicide bomber struck at a political rally, killing 149 people, including a candidate, Siraj Raisani. Another 400 were wounded. ISIS claimed responsibility for that attack. The military deployed 350,000 troops at polling stations. More than 11,0 0 0 candidates are vying for 270 seats in Pakistan’s lawmaking National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, and 577 seats in four provincial assemblies.

Fallout over the release of Trump-Cohen tape Two months before the 2016 election, Donald Trump and his former lawyer Michael Cohen discussed plans to pay for a former Playboy model’s story of an alleged affair, according to a secretly recorded tape provided to CNN on Tuesday. Here are takeaways from the fallout. (AP/TWP) Talking about the campaign

Did Trump want to pay cash?

Trump rips Cohen on Twitter

Two other instances show Trump and Cohen discussing burying negative stories to aid the campaign. First, they talk about how the campaign can’t use Pastor Mark Burns as a surrogate after he had been caught falsifying details of his biography. Then, Cohen raised a lawsuit by The New York Times aimed at unsealing documents related to Trump’s divorce from his first wife, Ivana.

The audio is muffled, but Trump can be heard saying, “pay with cash,” though it isn’t clear if he is suggesting to pay with cash or not to pay with cash. Cohen immediately says, “No, no, no,” and Trump can then be heard saying, “check.” If Trump did want a cash payment, that might have been to conceal evidence — at the time — of what may have been a violation of campaign finance law.

On Wednesday, Trump vented on Twitter: “What kind of a lawyer would tape a client? So sad! Is this a first, never heard of it before? Why was the tape so abruptly terminated (cut) while I was presumably saying positive things?” Cohen’s attorney, Lanny Davis, said Cohen released the tape in response to an “intense campaign of disparagement” from the president’s team.

U.S. postpones Trump-Putin meeting to 2019 POLITICS The White House on Wednesday pushed to next year President Trump’s planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, amid criticism of Trump’s conflicting statements on Russian interference in U.S. elections. “The President believes that the next bilateral meeting with President Putin should take place after the Russia witch hunt is over, so we’ve agreed that it will be after the first of the year,” national security adviser John Bolton said in a statement, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. The White House also issued a declaration on Wednesday ruling out the possibility of the United States recognizing Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea. The statement follows reports that Putin raised the issue of a referendum on Ukraine in his meeting with Trump last week. In addition, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo testified Wednesday afternoon before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he sought to reassure lawmakers that Trump accepts the intelligence community’s conclusion on Russian election interference. “He has a complete and proper understanding of what happened. I know. I briefed him on it for over a year,” Pompeo said. FELICIA SONMEZ, KAREN D EYOUNG AND SEUNG MIN KIM (THE WASHINGTON POST)

U.S., EU reach trade deal Leaders announce plan to ease tensions, work toward ‘zero tariffs’ on certain goods

Emoluments case against Trump OK’d

country get ripped off?” Several months after Trump first imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, the U.S. is now in economic skirmishes with China, Japan, the EU, Canada, Mexico and Turkey. Trump has also recently complained about what he views as unfair trade practices from India, suggesting he could turn his attention there. Disharmony within the White House over the trade strategy has been spilling into public view. On Wednesday, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said at a CNBC event that he and National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow were at odds with others on how to proceed on trade, but that Trump made the ultimate decisions on his own. “The president hears all the arguments, but he makes the final decision,” Mulvaney said.

POLITICS A federal judge on Wednesday rejected President Trump’s latest effort to stop a lawsuit that alleges Trump is violating the Constitution by continuing to do business with foreign governments. The ruling, from U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte in Greenbelt, Md., will allow the plaintiffs — the attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia — to proceed with their case, which says Trump has violated little-used anti-corruption clauses in the Constitution known as the emoluments clauses. This ruling appeared to mark the first time a judge had interpreted those provisions and applied their restrictions to a sitting president. The ruling could bring unprecedented scrutiny to Trump’s businesses — which have sought to keep their transactions with foreign states private, even as Trump sits in the Oval Office. Messitte’s opinion said the Constitution’s ban on “emoluments” could apply to Trump — that it could cover any business transactions with foreign governments where he derived a “profit, gain or advantage.” In the last year, the Trump Organization has hosted several events paid for by foreign governments and reported $150,000 in “foreign profits.” ANN E.

ECONOMY The U.S. and the European Union have reached a deal to ease trade tensions and avoid further tariffs, President Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Wednesday. The deal calls for both sides to “work together toward zero tariffs” on industrial goods, Trump said at a joint appearance in the Rose Garden after meeting with Juncker. The European Union will also import more U.S. soybeans and liquefied natural gas, or LNG, both leaders said. And both sides will work together to reform the World Trade Organization, they said. While Washington and Brussels pursue these aims, the leaders agreed, “we hold off further tariffs and reassess existing tariffs on steel and aluminum,” Juncker said. Trump imposed global tariffs on aluminum and steel earlier this year as part of his escalating trade confrontation, and he is currently weighing the imposition of auto tariffs. “While we are working on this, we will not go against the spirit of this agreement unless either party terminates the negotiation,” Trump said. “We also will resolve the steel and aluminum tariff issues and we will resolve retaliatory tariffs.” Juncker said the EU would build more terminals to import LNG as part of the deal. The statements, at an unexpected news conference, could temporarily ease fears that Trump’s trade war could escalate further. Markets jumped in the closing minutes of the day when word of a potential deal began to circulate. However, Trump has backed off trade confrontations in the past, only to resume hostilities.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and President Trump reached a deal Wednesday on tariffs.

In addition to tariffs on aluminum and steel, Trump has imposed tariffs on washing machines, solar panels and a wide range of Chinese products. The de-escalation came after an uproar among businesses and Republican lawmakers about the potential impact of Trump’s strategy on the economy. Ahead of Wednesday’s announcement, several of Trump’s senior economic advisers believed he was planning to push forward with 25 percent tariffs on close to $200 billion in foreign-made automobiles later this year, three people briefed on internal discussions said. Trump has become increasingly defiant in his trade strategy, following his own instincts and intuition and eschewing advice from his inner circle. He has told advisers and Republicans to simply trust his business acumen, a point he tried to reinforce Wednesday in a Twitter post.

Farmers not satisfied Many farmers are critical of President Trump’s tariffs and the damage done to commodity prices and markets. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a $12 billion three-part plan that would borrow money from the U.S. Treasury to pay producers of soybeans, sorghum, corn, wheat, cotton, dairy and hogs. Farmers said they would rather have Trump settle the trade disputes with China, Mexico, Canada and the European Union and get free trade flowing again. “A Band-Aid doesn’t cure an illness, but it might make it temporarily better,” said Dave Struthers, a Collins, Iowa, farmer. (AP)

“Every time I see a weak politician asking to stop Trade talks or the use of Tariffs to counter unfair Tariffs, I wonder, what can they be thinking?” Trump said. “Are we just going to continue and let our farmers and

THREE POINTERS

Patriots parallels

JOHN McDONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Suited to lead

After being doubted and discarded his whole career, Redskins QB Smith brings unshakable confidence to D.C. NFL Alex Smith was exhausted, but he refused to show it. A line of selfie-seekers snaked around the Redskins’ locker room at FedEx Field. One by one, 200 fans stepped forward, offering a handshake and even an occasional hug. On that night in April, they came to see the new face of the franchise, the new quarterback in Jay Gruden’s offense. To them, he is the future — and potentially Washington’s football savior. The man whom so many saw as expendable is again wanted. The former No. 1 overall NFL draft pick has overcome being written off as a potential bust. He’s been discarded for younger quarterbacks twice. But Smith no longer is burdened by insecurity or in need of affirmation. After everything he has endured in San Francisco and Kansas City, the three-time Pro Bowl selection knows who he is. It took years for Smith, 34, to put aside resentments and achieve an inner peace. His path to overcoming outside perception of his worth over a 13-year journey in the NFL is vital to understanding why members of

the Redskins’ staff are “tickled to death” to have him. Since he was a child, Smith has been stubborn. He never will accept being outworked, be it in the classroom or on the field. That trait motivated him to sneak into coach Urban Meyer’s late-night game-planning meetings during Smith’s time at Utah. “I turn on the lights, and Alex Smith is just sitting in there with us,” said Meyer, who led the Utes to wins at the 2003 Liberty Bowl and the 2004 Fiesta Bowl with Smith starting. “Not many players have I had that would do that.” Smith’s photographic memory (according to Meyer) and his high IQ earned him the nickname “Doogie Howser” — the child prodigy in a 1990s sitcom — after he earned his degree in two years. At age 20, Smith became the No. 1 pick in the 2005 draft. But nothing came easy once he arrived in the NFL. In seven seasons in San Francisco, he had seven offensive coordinators and three head coaches. He had an 11-19 record as a starter in his first three seasons before he missed all of 2009 with a shoulder injury.

“I don’t feel like I have to prove myself to anybody any longer.” ALEX SMITH, talking about how he’s grown out of the insecurity that plagued him after being drafted No. 1 overall by the 49ers in 2005

“I was on some bad teams, and I played bad as a young player, certainly, at times. And that all mounts,” Smith said. “To change perception, it can be difficult. It’s a tall task. And it takes a long time.” The 2011 arrival of Jim Harbaugh as coach signaled a dramatic shift. Smith went 13-3 and threw for more than 3,000 yards for the first time. The 49ers reached the NFC title game, losing 20-17 in overtime to the eventual Super Bowl champion Giants. The following season, Smith led the 49ers to a 6-2 start before suffering a concussion that paved the way for Colin Kaepernick to take the job. Smith was traded to Kansas City in 2013. He took a team that

Browns GM: With Josh Gordon’s status uncertain, club is considering signing WR Dez Bryant

had tied for the NFL’s worst record the year before he arrived to four playoff appearances in five years. In 2017, he posted a career-best 104.7 passer rating that led the NFL. History repeated itself, however, when the Chiefs drafted QB Patrick Mahomes in 2017 following a pair of disappointing division-round playoff losses. With a 2-5 career playoff record, Smith was on borrowed time. That played right into Bruce Allen’s hands. Eager to move on from Kirk Cousins, the Redskins team president targeted Smith. On Jan. 30, the Chiefs agreed to a trade, and Washington promised Smith a new contract, a four-year, $94 million deal that includes $71 million guaranteed. Just like that, Smith was back to being The Guy. “He’s a quiet leader, but there’s just something about him that makes you want to step your game up even that much more,” Redskins running back Chris Thompson said. “I can’t even pinpoint it. It’s just that it’s Alex Smith. You can’t help but to get excited.” KIMBERLEY A. MARTIN

The Redskins begin training camp today with a set of offensive weapons that has one expert likening them to the Patriots. Here’s how NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly justifies the comparison. (TWP)

3 Pass-catching back Chris Thompson “is one of the top third-down backs in football,” Casserly said, pointing out that Pats’ title teams always had receiving options in the backfield.

2 Star in the slot Jamison Crowder “has the ability to be [Julian] Edelman” in the Redskins’ offense, Casserly said, referring to both receivers’ ability to get open from the slot.

1 Dominant tight end Jordan Reed, below, is “the best separation tight end in football,” Casserley said, likening Reed’s ability to win one-on-one matchups to that of Rob Gronkowski.

Red Sox get rental Eovaldi from Rays for LHP prospect

Mets’ Cespedes to miss 8-10 months after surgeries

Colts QB Luck will start camp with ‘no restrictions’

Boston acquired right-handed starter Nathan Eovaldi from the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday for minor league lefty Jalen Beeks. Eovaldi had been scheduled to start against the Yankees but was scratched about two hours before game time. Eovaldi, 28, can become a free agent after this season. He returned this year following Tommy John surgery in August 2016, going 3-4 with a 4.26 ERA in 10 starts. He started the year on the disabled list after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on the elbow at the end of spring training. The division-leading Red Sox entered Wednesday five games ahead of the Yankees. (AP)

Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will have surgery on both feet to relieve chronic pain in his heels, the team announced Wednesday. He is likely to need at least eight to 10 months to recover. Tests showed bone calcifications in both the right and left heels. The two-time All-Star had returned from the disabled list Friday after missing two months with a strained right hip flexor. Cespedes, 32, said both heels have bothered him for 15 years and caused the lower-body injuries that have limited him to 119 games in 1½ seasons since he signed a four-year, $110 million contract. Cespedes is expected to have the first surgery this week. (AP)

As the Colts reported to training camp Wednesday, their incumbent quarterback sounded as eager and antsy as he did when he arrived as the highly touted No. 1 overall draft pick in 2012. “I’m nervous,” Andrew Luck said. “It will be interesting to step on the field again.” Today’s opening practice in Westfield, Ind., will be the first time Luck has practiced or played in front of fans since January 2017. Because of a partially torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, Luck played in pain for most of 2015 and 2016 and missed all of last season. “When he practices, he’s full go,” new coach Frank Reich said. “There are no restrictions.” (AP)

Doi Moi’s subterranean cocktail spot is closing at the end of August BARS For the past five years, 2 Birds 1 Stone has been one of the most dependable cocktail destinations in the District. The inventive and flavorful cocktails change weekly, using housemade sodas and tinctures. Choices are highlighted on beverage director Adam Bernbach’s funky hand-drawn menus. The space itself, tucked beneath Doi Moi

but entered through a basement staircase around the corner, feels like a wonderful secret, especially if you find a seat in one of the cozy nooks near the bar. But that will come to an end in late August, days after the award-winning bar celebrates its fifth anniversary. Bernbach, the mastermind behind 2 Birds — and, before that, the man behind the cocktails at sister restaurants Estadio and Proof — will return to work at Estadio, where he recently helped craft a monthlong “Juntonico” celebration of Spanish-style gin and tonics.

EVY MAGES (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

It’s almost last call for 2 Birds 1 Stone Adam Bernbach’s basement cocktail den 2 Birds 1 Stone closes next month.

The 2 Birds space will be “reconceptualized” by the Doi Moi team, with drinks by Lukas B. Smith of Cotton & Reed. “2 Birds is something I’ve been really passionate about for years,

but it requires so much creative focus to do it well,” Bernbach says. “It’s really inflexible. Every week, it requires an extensive amount of focus” to create the cocktails and menus. “There

have been other things I wanted to do but couldn’t.” For most of August, 2 Birds will run a “greatest hits”-style cocktail menu. Customers can vote for their favorite drink, and the winner will be kept on at whatever bar replaces 2 Birds. Bernbach says putting together this last menu has been “pretty emotional,” but “I don’t look back on these cocktails with any amount of regret. I’m pretty psyched about most of them. The drinks at 2 Birds were a little more cartoony, a little more wild than what I did [at other bars], but still refined in how they’re executed.” There’s a lso the matter of the closing party on Aug. 27. “There will definitely be piña coladas,” Bernbach says.

weekendpass My D.C. dream day

GEDIYON KIFLE

As the crowds begin to swell, we all pick up trash bags for a community cleanup. My daughter and I actually do this most Wednesday nights, if anybody wants to stop by BloomBars [3222 11th St. NW] and join us. With the alleys and streets spotless, we head to the fountains at Columbia Heights Civic Plaza, and get completely soaked while we dance and sing along with local musicians.

John Chambers ARTS CURATOR

Ten years ago, when John Chambers started BloomBars, he envisioned it as a studio for arts classes and performances that he could eventually grow to locations around the world. “Soon after doing it a little bit, I realized it was my backyard where I wanted to make a difference,” says Chambers, 44. His notfor-profit space in Columbia Heights has programming for all ages, but it’s become best known for curating art for kids: He’s hosted poetry readings, puppet shows, dance lessons, movie nights and even a monthly open-mic night, where children 12 and younger show off their skills onstage. Much like he might encourage his young patrons to do, Chambers is using his imagination on his dream day. His “future-fantasy” itinerary includes a festival and a march all around D.C. with his 7-yearold daughter, Ava Maya — but really, everyone is invited. As we walk out my back door and into the alley, we’re greeted by D.C.’s first “Alley Mural Walk,” a community celebration and benefit for MuralsDC and their artists, who can be seen putting the finishing touches on garage doors and buildings that line the alleys of Columbia Heights. This is like a festival: All the residents

have agreed to donate their garage doors as canvases, and all these muralists come in and create this mural walk. Vegan food sponsor Khepra’s Raw Food Juice Bar hands me a bag with an avocado plantain pie and a coconut sea moss smoothie. It’s delicious, trust me. So we’re dancing through the streets as all this stuff is happening.

We’d have a brief power nap at the oxygen chamber, also known as the United States Botanic Garden. I call it the oxygen chamber because you walk in and go, “Ahhh, oxygen!” It feels so great. This works best when wearing dark sunglasses and carrying a baby, from experience. We’d have lunch delivered from Lapis — we’d have their famous sabzi. It’s a spinach dish, and it’s like magic. We’d continue our secondline-like march down to the Navy Yard, where we’d all get in paddleboats and paddle up the Anacostia River to the National Arboretum. As the sun begins to set, we commence a lantern walk through the Asia [garden]. You just walk through and throughout. There’s a little nook with a bunch of gnomes, and a puppet show, and a little band playing in another corner, so there’s all these little things that happen throughout the walk. And if you’ve never been to those gardens as they meander down to the water of the Anacostia before, it’s just gorgeous. Finally, we’d end up at my Cheers, Room 11. Now just a small group, kids off to bed. I order a habanero-infused strawberry sangria. With the doors locked and the curtains closed, we have a little dance party into the night. Outside on the patio is an air taxi waiting to take us to the University of Maryland Observatory to watch the stars melt into the sunrise. (AS TOLD TO LORI McCUE/FOR EXPRESS)

weekendpass Author Amy Nathan urges adults to get in on the benefits of song BOOKS Maybe some music teacher told you that you were tone-deaf, and you never sang in public again. Perhaps you were such a great musician in your youth that your inner perfectionist shudders at the thought of the sounds you might make today. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to learn an instrument but fear it’s too late. To all the adults out there who are not making music on the regular, you are missing out on one of life’s great pleasures, says Amy Nathan, author of “Making Time for Making Music.” For many adult musicians, playing music is like a mini-vacation, she says. “Once you start playing, a calmness comes over you. You’re

not writing the shopping list, or thinking about the problem at the office. It’s a totally engrossing experience,” Nathan says. “You can’t worry about other things when you’re doing music.” Nathan would know. In the course of writing her book, which came out in May, she interviewed more than 350 amateur adult musicians, from occasional choristers to seriously dedicated violinists, and they pretty much all said that playing music is a deeply meaningful and rewarding part of their lives. “People get so many different things out of it — a sense of community, professional contacts — but most of all, they just enjoy the experience,” she says. If that hasn’t convinced you to play music, do it for your brain: Research shows that musicians — including adults who just started playing — score better

than non-musicians on tests of executive function, an a l l - pu r p o s e cognitive abilit y t h at i n cludes problem- solv i ng and planning. Plus, emerging research suggest that playing music could actually delay the onset of dementia, Nathan notes. So what stops people from playing music? In her book, Nathan covers every possible hang-up and logistical problem. Worried about bothering the neighbors? Try no-noise instruments or gadgets, like a trumpet mute that connects to headphones. Concerned about the cost of lessons? Teach yourself through YouTube videos or consider low-cost group lessons with other adults.

AMY NATHAN

Her book sings the praises of music

Ahead of her book talk at Politics and Prose on Sunday, Nathan tipped us off to one more secret: Amateurs may not be the best musicians around, but they’re

having the most fun. “You can play whatever you want, entirely on your own terms,” she says. You can practice a lot or a little. Explore whatever genre appeals to you or invent your own.

D.C. abounds with opportunities for amateur musicians, no matter the instrument or skill level Levine Jazz and Blues Jam Sessions

Adult Student Music Forum

levinemusic.org

This group provides performance opportunities and workshops for classical musicians of all levels in the D.C. area. Get started doing intimate, student-only recitals and work your way up to big concert halls — or just stick to the living rooms.

Commitment-phobic jazzmen and blues players will love the fact that you don’t have to RSVP for Levine Music’s free monthly jam sessions, which are expertly led by the music education center’s teachers.

Go to a party, meet other musicians and form a temporary band. Then, over the course of a month, write a song or learn a cover, and ultimately perform it at a showcase starring other Flashbands. If this sounds like fun, sign up for the next Flashband event that features a genre you like.

weekendpass Q&A | ALAN CUMMING

He sings, he dances — and it’s all legal

“I want them to go away thinking, ‘Wow, huge things about the very fabric of what this country is are being changed in front of us, and history is being rewritten in front of our eyes.’ ”

Every couple of years, Alan Cumming craves an undertaking so daunting that utter failure is a realistic possibility. “That’s why I do it,” the Tony winner says through nervous laughter. “It’s so weird.” So Cumming decided to perform his new cabaret show, “Legal Immigrant,” twice a night, five nights a week, for two weeks last month in Manhattan. The routine: an 8:45 p.m. performance on the Upper East Side, then a hurried jaunt to the East Village for a midnight show. “That was just too much,” Cumming says. “When we were in the middle of the run, I remember I said to my therapist, ‘Why am I doing this? Why?’ ” The toll is understandable: A nearly two-hour cabaret marking 10 years since the native Scotsman became a U.S. citizen, “Legal Immigrant” is packed with song, dance and emotional stories about the immigrant experience. While the Season 2 renewal of Cumming’s CBS drama “Instinct” will keep the veteran actor busy for the foreseeable future, he’s still touring “Legal Immigrant” — including Saturday night’s stop at the Kennedy Center. THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

How do you find the energy to continue performing so prolifically on stage and screen? Ahem, well, you know, if you had asked me this morning I would not have been in the same state of mind to say what I’m going to say now. It’s about just the work ethic. I do it because I really enjoy it, and when I don’t enjoy it I can just stop — I can do something else. What was the inspiration behind “Legal Immigrant”? The biggest motivation was when I discovered that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services had removed the phrase “nation of immigrants” from their website. I was gobsmacked by that. It was a gamechanger for me. I can’t believe that more people are not taking to the streets about this. I imagine this show evolves as

the news cycle develops. Yes, that’s actually what is quite daunting about doing it. When we first started doing it at the beginning of May, the whole “children being wrenched from their parents’ arms and put in these concentration camps” was not an issue. So that was something that I had to encounter in the show, but actually it’s only a continuation of what I’m saying. I feel that everything that is happening is just actually magnifying what my point is — that this is going to get worse and worse and it’s actually so counterproductive to what the whole ethos of this country is supposed to be. How do you keep the show’s tone upbeat while addressing such heavy subject matter? Yeah, I should point out [the show] is actually hilarious. It’s very funny. I talk about some stories that don’t have anything

to do with immigration, really. I talk about aging a little bit, and I manage to talk about the way we men are changing our perception of how we behave toward women. It’s still an old-fashioned cabaret — I sing songs, I make you cry, I make you laugh. It’s all over the place and eclectic in terms of the tone and the material.

What do you hope audiences take away from “Legal Immigrant”? I want them to feel alive. And mostly, I want them to go away thinking, “Wow, huge things about the very fabric of what this country is are being changed in front of us, and history is being rewritten in front of our eyes.”

The whole notion of immigration, of people who are refugees or would-be immigrants or people who are different to us — the “other” — that’s who we’re being told to fear and to cage and to not let near us. And that’s just racism. That’s just absolutely the definition of racism. So let’s be careful.

Blerdcon grows by leaps and bounds

Cosplay vs. Cultural Appropriation: Cosplay is a way to celebrate nerdiness, but whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference between donning a costume and a culture? This panel will discuss cultural appropriation, why it matters, how to avoid it and how people can educate others about what is and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t OK. Fri., 8:30-10 p.m.

KATE WARREN

Guests at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Blerdcon get in some video game time.

fandoms were,â&#x20AC;? George says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started wondering if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a convention focused on the underrepresented populations in the fandoms. I was doing some research and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really find any, so I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Someone should create that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put my finger on my nose to keep myself from the task.â&#x20AC;? George stresses that there is no singular blerd experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can be a black nerd but also be disabled. You can be a black nerd and you can also be Latina. You can be a black nerd and a member of the LGBTQ community. You have to speak to the total blerd [community],â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That bridge was not something that had been crossed

before in a large-scale convention community.â&#x20AC;? Starting a new convention is like â&#x20AC;&#x153;walking around a dark room with nothing but corners to stub your toe on,â&#x20AC;? George says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to kind of feel your way around the room until your eyes adjust.â&#x20AC;? With one Blerdcon done and, George hopes, many more to come, the lights are switching on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one blerd at a time. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

The event celebrating black nerddom is back for its second edition CONVENTIONS Hilton George knew what his goal was for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blerdcon. It was the first year of the convention targeting blerds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;black nerdsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he had gotten guidance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was advised to plan for 500. If you get 650, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re golden,â&#x20AC;? says George, the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creator and chair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when we opened our doors [last year], we had 600 full weekend passes that had been pre-purchased and we were like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We did it!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Then the additional 1,200 people showed up.â&#x20AC;? Blerdcon, in a larger form, returns to the Hyatt Regency Crystal City this weekend. Like many conventions, this one has cosplay and gaming (as in a 24hour gaming room that never closes), as well as photo and autograph opportunities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four members of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Pantherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? Dora Milaje will be there to make sure you have a very intimidating profile picture. Still, as the name suggests, the focus is different from that of mainstream sci-fi, fantasy or comic conventions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found myself enjoying all different types of conventions, and I noticed how diverse the

Which D.C. monuments get it right?

curious lawn ornaments: ghostly white temples, monolithic men, giant bronze birds of prey — not to mention acres of pools that, even in the heat of the summer, are reserved for the exclusive use of waterfowl. The neighbors must think we’re crazy! Actually, I don’t have to guess what visitors to D.C. think because, for a few hot days, I joined them. I watched how they moved through memorials, I eavesdropped on their conversations and I chatted up anyone unfortunate enough to make eye contact with me. My goal? To rank our eight major monuments and memorials on their effectiveness. Some of these huge structures, which were built to communicate something to future generations or even future civilizations, get their message across loud and clear, while others’ statements are garbled and vague. If my opinions seem irreverent, please remember I’m critiquing only the statues and buildings, not the people or events they were built to honor. If you disagree, that’s great.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

World War II Memorial

Out of all the tourists I studied, visitors to the MLK memorial seemed the most perplexed. Kids read the engraved quotations in order, trying to make them into a story, while adults puzzled over the main sculpture. “So, what’s the significance of that?” one man asked, pointing to the two hunks of granite behind the statue of King. “It’s the mountain,” a woman explained. “Oh,” the man said, clearly still confused. I’m with him. The memorial is a bizarrely literal rendering of a phrase from King’s “I Have a Dream” speech: “Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope.” The “stone of hope” quote is carved on the memorial’s Stone of Hope because there’s no hope that anyone would figure it out on their own. Even with this clue, the symbolism is confusing: Why are the two blocks that represent the mountain barely any larger than the stone they calved? And what does it mean to have King emerging from that stone? Plus, like many of the monument’s quotes, the central metaphor isn’t among King’s most inspiring utterances — a clear disservice to a leader known for his eloquence.

You know how some pop songs pander to crowds by including litanies of city names or area codes? I think that’s the same impulse behind the WWII memorial’s design — specifically the columns engraved with state names. They’re meant to reflect each state’s contribution to the war effort, but their arrangement in two semicircles — anchored by pavilions labeled “Atlantic” and “Pacific” — is geographically confusing. For instance, the Florida column is right next to the “Pacific” pavilion, and if I didn’t know better, I might think that Florida borders the Pacific, or that all Floridians were sent to fight on the Pacific front. Also perplexing are the bas-relief sculptures that most people walk right past on their way to the giant fountain at the heart of the memorial. Even if you know a lot about WWII, these panels are tough to decode — one, for example, seems to show a woman driving a tractor as several smiling men get in her way. Did chatty guys somehow help the war effort by keeping women from plowing fields? There’s no way to know unless you happen to pick up an explanatory pamphlet. Despite these failings, the fountain is a nice addition to the Mall and a good place to cool your feet (which the National Park Service allows).

Questionable photo pose: I saw some people pushing against the monument stones so it looked like they were moving the mountains. TripAdvisor zinger: “The sculpture looks like white icebergs. For a black man, it is surprising!”

Questionable photo pose: One guy attempted to make a Boomerang video of his friend jumping into the water. (A volunteer quickly put a stop to it.) TripAdvisor zinger: “It’s really sad that [a] world war is seen through a self-centered point of view.”

THE WASHINGTON POST

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Locals love this enormous, sprawling memorial and I think I know why: Its size means it’s never crowded. Consisting of four outdoor “rooms” spread across more than 7 acres of land, it’s a weird hybrid monument-museum that attempts to outline the Great Depression, World War II and the New Deal through water features and a motley assemblage of sculptures. The weirdest of the lot are a group of columns with spooky impressions of elfin faces and giant hands that make you think spirits have been trapped inside and are trying to get out. Those same columns also feature Braille that’s too large to be legible, and the whole memorial can be a long slog for mobility-impaired folks, such as your humble reviewer, who is recovering from a foot injury. Overall, it’s surprisingly inaccessible for a tribute to a disabled president. Still, the rushing water and the natural beauty of the site make for a pleasant experience overall. Questionable photo pose: Kids find it tough to resist joining the Depression-era bread line. TripAdvisor zinger: “He didn’t want a memorial, this is why.”

GETTY IMAGES

Thomas Jefferson Memorial

Korean War Veterans Memorial Though this memorial is popular with tourists, I’m not a fan. My biggest problem is the black granite wall chiseled with the bumper-sticker bromide “Freedom is not free.” What, was “These colors don’t run” already taken? Then there are the statues of military personnel slogging through ... a tidy landscape of living juniper bushes? The men look so tired, you want to tell them that they have just a few more yards to go before they reach some nice shady benches. That said, I do enjoy the precision-trimmed linden trees that circle the memorial’s “pool of remembrance” — and that part of the memorial appears to be a popular spot for quinceanera and wedding photos, too. Questionable photo pose: Some teens pretended to march alongside the soldiers. TripAdvisor zinger: “Derivative, cliched and pathetic.”

The neoclassical design of this memorial actually makes sense: Our third president revered Greek and Roman architecture, and he’s largely responsible for kicking off America’s ongoing love affair with pediments and columns. His statue, however, could use a little more Greek grace — it’s such a stiff depiction of a famously vivacious man. Inside the memorial, you get a different angle on Jefferson, thanks to a new basement exhibit that discusses his record as a slave owner. It’s a little apologetic (“Jefferson prescribed lighter labor for women and children and proper care for those slaves who were sick”), but it’s a good start. Perhaps all our memorials could use a little extra context, or some space for dissenting views. This is all largely beside the point to most visitors, however. I saw lots of people taking in the view or jogging up the steps, but not many reading the engravings or checking out the exhibits. Questionable photo pose: Some Canadians got dangerously close to the mean Canada geese that roost beside the memorial. TripAdvisor zinger: “The Americans have a flaw: They are constantly trying to imitate the Roman Empire’s architectural and expansionist ways, but they’re not very successful.” (Translated from Italian.)

1 Washington Monument

GETTY IMAGES

“What does this have to do with George Washington?” is the question I heard tourists ask again and again. Rangers and volunteers answered by explaining that it’s an obelisk, an ancient Egyptian form that served as a popular shape for 19th-century memorials and gravestones. OK, sure, but that’s skirting the larger point: The Washington Monument is a 555-foot-tall phallic symbol. George Washington is the father of our country, and the Washington Monument is America’s, um, you know. It’s a totem of power, whether realized or aspirational. And, as the monument’s history shows, Americans’ ambitions sometimes outstrip our means. Even after plans for a colonnade at the bottom were scrapped, the monument still took 36 years to complete. Starting something so huge that you don’t know quite how to finish is a bold move and an apt metaphor for the whole American experiment. That’s why the Washington Monument is my favorite structure on the Mall. Future civilizations will know exactly what it means — though they might not be comfortable saying it out loud.

Lincoln Memorial I can’t help but love the Lincoln Memorial, even though it doesn’t make much sense to put the great American president in an ancient Greek temple. (We got the ancient Greeks all wrong, by the way. Their structures and sculptures weren’t bone white — they were a riot of bright colors that faded over time.) Also, have you tried to read the engravings on the walls? Most people take one look at those blocks of full-justified, all-caps lettering and immediately give up. And then there are the weird murals at the top; they’re hard to make out, and that’s probably for the best. One, for instance, shows a white female angel freeing black slaves, and many of the women are topless, for some reason. What has stood the test of time is the sculpture — even though Lincoln is a giant, the worry and exhaustion written on his face forge an intimate connection with the viewer. And though a copy of the Parthenon isn’t a logical choice for Mr. Log Cabin, it fits beautifully into the rest of the Mall’s neoclassical architecture and offers spectacular views of the whole expanse. Questionable photo pose: Daredevil tourists walked way out on the east-facing ledges to pose with some urns, apparently unconcerned about the sheer drop to skull-cracking stone stairs.

Questionable photo pose: One tourist lay down and lined up the monument so it seemed to be erupting from his shorts.

TripAdvisor zinger: “I was saddened to learn that the elevator was not in service. I am handicapped and cannot climb all those stairs. My family went to see Abe but I was left to sit on a wall near the reflecting pool. My heart was breaking. Our government is so wonderful ... not.”

TripAdvisor zinger: “Ironically, of all the memorials, this is the most pointless.”

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Questionable photo pose: A few visitors tried to photograph the engraved names but were thwarted by the glare of the sun. A volunteer helped them make rubbings instead. TripAdvisor zinger: “Yale design is inferior!” (Translated from Mandarin.)

GETTY IMAGES

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is exactly what it looks like: a huge gravestone. Some people feel this so acutely, they attempt to leave human remains there. I didn’t see anyone scattering ashes during my visits (something the National Park Service explicitly forbids), but I did watch as people searched for their loved ones’ names. “Hi, Shelby. I miss you,” one man said quietly. You’d have to be made of stone to be unmoved by this memorial, which was designed by Maya Lin when she was an architecture student at Yale. Even small children picked up on the solemnity of this memorial, if not its specific meaning, and stopped begging for ice cream while looking at their own reflections in the polished black stone.

‘Generation Wealth’ Lauren Greenfield’s 2012 documentary “The Queen of Versailles” covered the construction of what was going to be the largest privately owned home in the U.S. Now she’s back among the uber-rich with “Generation Wealth,” a documentary about people who love money. REALLY love money. And they have a LOT of it. It’s not just “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” though there are elements of that. This is about what happens to societies who prize extravagance above everything else. And what happens to them? Usually nothing good. Just ask Marie Antoinette.

You’ve got zombies in “Zombiology: Enjoy Yourself Tonight,” screening Friday. Historical drama with “Our Time Will Come” on Sunday. Even classics like 1979’s “The Secret,” the debut feature of Ann Hui, who went on to become one of the most important directors out of Hong Kong.

For “Victoria,” director Sebastian Schipper avoided the screwups. The 2015 crime drama, about a Spanish woman and her four new German “friends” who spend some very early-morning hours running around Berlin, was shot in one take during some very early-morning hours spent running around Berlin. Schipper got the film he wanted on the third attempt. It might be a stunt, but sometimes stunts pay off in a big way. Goethe-Institut, 1990 K St. NW; Fri., 6:30 p.m., free.

In this free showcase at the Hirshhorn — part of the museum’s new live performance exhibition/series “Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body?” — Rawls examines the computer cursor as a sort of human form through dance, writing, voice and objects. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Independence Avenue and Seventh Street SW; Thu. & Fri., 3 p.m., free.

D.C. Field Day

FRIDAY & SATURDAY

Beyonce and JAY-Z FedEx Field, 1600 Fedex Way, Landover, Md.; Fri. & Sat., 7:30 p.m., $49-$350.

Pop music’s reigning powers are back “On the Run” with their second co-headlining tour. The difference this time is that the tour comes after Beyonce’s dirty-laundry-airing “Lemonade,” JAY-Z’s apologetic “4:44” and the pair’s surprise release of their long-rumored collaborative album “Everything Is Love.” The album sets a lovey-dovey, self-congratulatory tone for the tour. Expect three dozen or so of the Carters’ hits, along with a handful of duets and his-andhers mashups.

Fri. MUSEUMS

Camp Newseum Nights Knotting friendship bracelets, scarfing down sloppy Joes and telling scary stories around a campfire: These are the things that make lifelong memories at summer camp. The Newseum’s latest late-night event puts a grown-up spin on camp traditions with craftmaking, a karaoke talent show, a campfire with tales from Story District’s storytellers, archery, live music, makeovers, an open bar and gourmet s’mores and pigs in a blanket. Newseum, 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; Fri., 8-10:30 p.m., $60.

STARTS SATURDAY

Citi Open Rock Creek Park Tennis Center, 5220 16th St. NW; Sat. through Aug. 5, various times and prices.

A deep field of pros will head to Rock Creek Park Tennis Center to sweat it out for the Citi Open championship, a D.C. tradition that’s celebrating its 50th anniversary. Ekaterina Makarova, right, Sloane Stephens, Andy Murray and Nick Kyrgios are among the stars slated to play this year — but it’s also fun catching rising players on the side courts, where you can sit close by and see just how fast those blistering aces really are.

Go back to elementary school with D.C. Field Day, which re-creates classic games for day-drinking young professionals. The second annual competition at RFK Stadium will include food trucks and a bar along with such activities as two-legged hula hoop relay races. Register eight or more friends to start a team, or join an existing team to compete for prizes and glory. RFK Stadium Festival Grounds, 401 Oklahoma Ave. NE; Sat., 10 a.m.-6 p.m., $45. MUSIC

David Byrne If you missed former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne’s show at The Anthem in May, you won’t wanna miss your second chance to see the ambitious tour. Culled from his new album “American Utopia,” his solo work and Talking Heads hits, the setlist finds Byrne and a big band of musicians and dancers moving freely about the stage — with no wires or amps in their way — and plenty of choreography. Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, Md.; Sat., 8 p.m., $60-$130.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES

That icy stare is just one of the weapons Rebecca Ferguson gets to wield in “Mission: Impossible — Fallout.”

Still deadly, and more mysterious than ever Ferguson’s spy brings murky motivations to ‘Mission: Impossible’ FILM When Ethan Hunt and Ilsa Faust reunite in “Mission: Impossible — Fallout,” he’s surprised. He thought she had gotten out of the spy game. She hasn’t. The former MI6 agent, played by Rebecca Ferguson (“The Greatest Showman”), is back and just as badass as ever. “She is who she is, and that’s why I love her,” Ferguson says. “She has an agenda and a motive that’s changed, [but] it’s not like she’s going through character development per se. She is an equal to Ethan Hunt and stays that way through this film.” “Fallout,” opening tonight, is what you’d expect a “Mission: Impossible” movie to be. Hunt, the superspy played by Tom

Cruise for 22 years now, leads a secret squad to take down some anarchist bad guys who have, unfortunately, gotten ahold of some atomic bombs. Ilsa isn’t part of the team; she has a mysterious ulterior motive that’s best not spoiled. One thing that hasn’t changed from 2015’s “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation,” the film that introduced Ferguson’s character, is that her relationship with Ethan is still complicated. “I think their working relationship finds deeper ground in this one,” Ferguson says. “Ethan, I think, is gradually questioning his agenda; I think that humanizes him in many ways. And also, Ilsa has to sit down and think, ‘Why am I doing this? What am I doing it for, and what are the consequences I’m willing to face?’ ” While Ethan and Ilsa grapple with these issues, they’re often grappling with each other, too. “I love the idea that they’ll run over each other. Literally, they’ll

run over each other to get what they want,” Ferguson says. “They will also protect each other and save each other’s lives without hesitation, so there are these emotions constantly bubbling.” Ilsa may find herself in danger, but she is never a damsel in distress. Neither are any of the other female characters, including ever-suspicious CIA chief Erica Sloan (Angela Bassett) and a femme fatale known as the White Widow (Vanessa Kirby), both of whom play pivotal roles in the story. Ferguson credits returning writer-director Christopher McQuarrie for the movie’s deep bench of vital players. “Chris is very particular with the necessity of a character in a film,” she says. “If you would take out any of the characters — not just the women — there would be a massive hole in the script. And that’s equality, isn’t it?”

FX has ordered an eightpart series starring Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams about the romantic and creative partnership between filmmaker Bob Fosse and famed dancer Gwen Verdon, the network announced Tuesday. An adaptation of “Fosse,” a 2013 biography written by Sam Wasson, the limited series is set to air in 2019. “Dear Evan Hansen” playwright Steven Levenson will serve as the showrunner, with “Hamilton” director Thomas Kail helming the pilot episode and Lin-Manuel Miranda attached as an executive producer. “We are over the moon about this dream team we’ve assembled,” FX Productions copresident Nick Grad said.

Deadline: Kelsey Grammer exploring “Frasier” reboot

Kennedy Center Honors salute ‘Hamilton’ STAGE D.C.’s “Summer of ‘Hamilton’ ” will stretch into December, when the Kennedy Center Honors salute the groundbreaking musical, marking the first time a specific work of art has been spotlighted at the annual celebration of the performing arts. “Hamilton” and its creative team — composer-lyricist LinManuel Miranda, above, director Thomas Kail, music director Alex Lacamoire and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler — will receive a special honor Dec. 2 in a ceremony that also salutes the achievements of composer Philip Glass, singer-actresses Cher and Reba McEntire, and jazz musician Wayne Shorter. Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter acknowledged that the decision to honor a work of art is a dramatic change in the Honors’ four-decade history. And the musical’s four creators will be the youngest to receive a Kennedy Center Honor. Miranda is 38; Kail, 40; Lacamoire, 43; and Blankenbuehler, 48. LL Cool J, one of last year’s winners, and Stevie Wonder were 49 when they were given the award. “Our conversations were about how powerful this work has been, what it has done to the conversation, the coverage it has received and how powerfully it has impacted every single individual,” Rutter said. “How can we acknowledge it now, while it’s happening?” PEGGY M C GLONE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“You can have dragons, superheroes, worlds where our physical laws don’t apply. That’s all fine. But if a black person plays a fictional character who fans think of as white ... all of a sudden, it’s bad and unrealistic.” @_ZEETS, calling out racism among

comic book fans. Anna Diop, above, plays Starfire in the new DC Universe show “Titans.” After the trailer came out last week, Diop received so much hate that she disabled comments on her Instagram, The Root reported.

“This is the dumbest non-scandal. ... Maybe you don’t find it funny, but it was clear satire.” @YASHAR, New York magazine writer Yashar Ali, on the “fake news” video of New York Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Conservative commentator Allie Stuckey, above left, created the “interview” with OcasioCortez, above right, by stitching together clips from her recent interview with PBS. In the video, Ocasio-Cortez appears to be unable to answer basic questions. After the video was viewed more than 2 million times on Facebook, a tag was added to indicate that it is satire. Some accused Stuckey of being deceptive, but she said that was not her intention.

“Happy Birthday Louise Brown! The world’s first IVF baby turns 40 today and is now a mother herself. Here’s to the 8 million plus IVF babies since then.” @TABAPETERSIDE, wishing a happy

birthday to Louise Brown, the first human born thanks to in vitro fertilization. Brown was born July 25, 1978. Since then, IVF has enabled the births of 8 million babies. “[Brown] paved the way and gave hope to my parents who wanted and waited for me for years,” @mollyalisonward tweeted.

“It took Demi Lovato to OD for some of y’all to say anything about addiction/[drugs]. There’s people dying every day from this in your hometown and y’all couldn’t care less.” @JUSTINSPARKS116, tweeting after Demi Lovato was hospitalized Tuesday for an alleged drug overdose. TMZ had reported that the singer overdosed on heroin but has since said it’s unclear what drugs she took. Many social media users viewed Lovato’s overdose in connection with the U.S. opioid epidemic.

Sudoku

DIFFICULT

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are able to see the difference between two outcomes and are therefore able to steer others in the right direction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are ready for something new, something that others have been trying to avoid. It’s a good thing — and you can prove it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may not have any “magic bullet,” but your words of encouragement can help someone who is stuck in a very difficult and stressful situation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Nothing angers you more than not being listened to by someone who has asked you for advice — especially when the advice you give is sound. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You and another are flirting with an attraction that may threaten to change everything very soon.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may not be able to do precisely what you want today because of a situation that is beyond your control. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The more you try to explain yourself, the more you are likely to find it impossible to make sense of what is really going on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) What you can do and what you are willing to do are two very different things; today, you may not have as much of a choice as you think.

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.

POOCH CAFE | PAUL GILLIGAN

87 | 72 TODAY: Higher pressure builds in behind the cold front pushing off to our east. That means a mostly dry day as we finally get into some drier air overhead, although we’re still warm and humid enough for the chance of an isolated shower or storm. It’ll be partly cloudy and muggy tonight, with just an isolated shower or storm possible.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

A “friend” shows his or her true colors and forces you to make a determination about the status of the relationship. Be honest. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Time is passing and there’s nothing you can do about it — but there’s certainly much you can do to fill the hours productively on many fronts.

“I remember being like: Really? More than, like, Chris Brown? Me? Really? Wow.”

Josh Duhamel and Eiza Gonzalez have broken up after a few months of dating, multiple outlets reported Tuesday. The actors split earlier this month because “they just drifted apart,” Us Weekly quoted a source as saying. “Their work schedules were tough on the relationship,” a source told People. According to The Daily Mail, Duhamel confirmed the breakup Monday while leaving a gym in Los Angeles. “If you’re looking for Eiza,” he told photographers, “we’re done.” The relationship was Duhamel’s first since he broke up with Fergie in September after eight years of marriage.
