‘Giving up wasn’t an option’ THE DISTRICT When Johnathon Carrington graduated as valedictorian of Dunbar High School, he barely paused to take in his success. Even as he wrote his commencement speech, he worried about whether the D.C. public school system had prepared him for what would come at Georgetown University — a few miles and a world away from his subsidized apartment complex and the open-air drug market that thrived outside.

“I don’t think I’m going to fail everything,” Carrington said in 2013. “But I think I’m going to be a bit behind.”

Over the next four years, he would experience serious academic challenges for the first time. He would struggle to find his place on a campus where most students were white and far wealthier. He would even consider transferring to someplace a little more comfortable, where he felt he belonged.

But he would persist. And — unlike so many others from neighborhoods like his — he

would make it.

Carrington, now 21, graduated in the spring from Georgetown’s business school with a double major in management and finance. After struggling with math classes and time management in his freshman year, he had abandoned his plans to study finance.

But by his junior year, he had reversed that decision, realizing he could rise to the challenge.

“Given where I come from, giving up wasn’t an option,” he said. “I wasn’t going to stop.”

VALERIE CARRINGTON, on her son Johnathon Carrington, who rose from poverty to graduate from Georgetown University this spring

Just 9 percent of the nation’s poorest young people — those whose family income puts them in the bottom quartile — earn a four-year degree by age 24, compared with 77 percent of those in the top, according to census data.

Carrington hopes to start in private wealth management — a job that would give him enough money to live comfortably and help his mom, Valerie. He has been told that it can take six months for new graduates to find a job, but he is hoping to move more quickly.

Like many other recent grads, he is living at home for now and itching for independence.

“I love my mom to death, but I want to have my own place, my own things going on,” he said.

As challenging as Georgetown was, he said that he is grateful to the school for forcing him to grow. He thinks he will appreciate it even more as time passes. “ My grades weren’t the best, but it prepared me for the world,” he said. “The last four years, it was a lot to grasp.

I wasn’t perfect at it, but you know, I finished. I finished on time. I was a double major. It’s not like I took an easy route.”

Fairfax board to vote on changing moniker of J.E.B. Stuart High FAIRFAX COUNTY A year-long debate over changing the name of a high school in Northern Virginia that is named after a Confederate general may come down to simply removing three initials.

The Fairfax County School Board is poised to vote on a measure tonight that would rebrand J.E.B. Stuart High after a divisive inquiry into the history of the school and the legacy of its namesake. One option under consideration is to remove the initials J.E.B. and call the school Stuart High.

verbatim

J.E.B. Stuart High appears to be one of at least three public schools in Virginia named after the rebel officer, according to state records. Two others are in Petersburg and Richmond.

The name-change discussions in Fairfax come amid a polarizing debate about the way the Confederacy is commemorated in public spaces across the South.

In South Carolina, lawmakers voted in 2015 for the Confederate flag to be removed from the statehouse grounds. In Louisiana, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu led a movement this year to take down statutes honoring Confederate leaders.

In Fairfax, the campaign to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High began in 2015, when

the most diverse in the county.

More than three-quarters of the school’s 2,130 students are Hispanic, black, Asian or multiracial. Whites make up 22 percent of enrollment.

The board first proposed examining the legacy of J.E.B. Stuart High after determining that the school was originally named in 1958 as part of the county’s “massive resistance” against the U.S. Supreme Court’s order to end racial segregation of public schools.

“The School Board finds there is a compelling need to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High School to one that better reflects Fairfax County values and diversity,” Evans wrote in a proposal this week to change the name.

Shanna H. Swan, one of the authors of the new study published in the Human Reproduction Update, said that the new meta-analysis is so broad and comprehensive that she hopes it will put to rest some of the debate about the decline in male fertility.

The analysis found drops only for men in Europe, North America and Australia and not for those in South America, Asia and Africa. It is possible that there just isn’t enough data yet

to draw firm conclusions about the rest of the world.

The most important data points in the new study involved sperm concentrations for what are known as “unselected” men — men who haven’t yet proven they are fertile. Researchers estimated that such men had an average sperm concentration of 99 million per milliliter in 1973 but that that had dropped to an average of 47 million per milliliter in 2011.

Senate rejects measure to repeal Obamacare

PUNK’D, RUSSIAN-STYLE

Pranksters’ latest victim is Rick Perry

POLITICS The Senate rejected a proposal Wednesday that would have repealed major parts of the Affordable Care Act and provided a two-year delay for lawmakers to develop a substitute, indicating that in the immediate future Republicans can only muster a majority for modest changes to the current law.

In two separate votes in less than 24 hours, lawmakers rejected different approaches to rewriting the landmark 2010 law known as Obamacare.

But many Republicans have expressed an openness to passing a minimalist measure that abolishes two of the ACA’s insurance mandates and a single tax on medical devices, which is being dubbed “skinny repeal.”

GOP leaders have emphasized it is a way for the Senate to start negotiations with the House.

Several lawmakers acknowledged Wednesday that they did not embrace the content of the proposal, but suggested they could possibly back it anyway.

“It’s a vehicle to get us into conference,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “That is not a solution to the problem.”

Republicans remain deeply divided over how to revamp the

GOP may try new tack: A minimalist measure to cut ACA mandates

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was not able to secure the support of his fellow Republicans to repeal major parts of Obamacare.

nation’s health care system. They have little margin for error since just three defections within their ranks will deprive them of the 50 votes they need to pass legislation with the assistance of Vice President Pence, who can cast a tiebreaking vote.

The fact that some Republicans have joined with Democrats on each of the votes so far underscores the challenge Senate leaders face in building consensus in the coming days.

In the earlier vote, 57 senators — including nine Republicans — opposed the updated version of the measure known as the Better Care Reconciliation Act, while 43 supported it. The nine dissenters included hard-line conservatives as well as centrists.

A subsequent move to abolish much of the ACA outright

appealed to conservatives, but lost the backing of several moderates and also more establishment figures, such as GOP Sens.

John McCain of Arizona and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.

Seven Republicans voted against that proposal, which failed 55-45.

Republicans are focused on passing narrower changes to current law by the end of the week, known as “skinny repeal,” in hopes of keeping the debate alive in a House-Senate conference.

The “skinny repeal” option would repeal the ACA’s mandates that individuals buy plans and that employers with 50 or more employees provide coverage, said lobbyists and Senate aides, as well as eliminate the law’s tax on medical device manufacturers.

On one end of a phone call July 19 about coal, natural gas and the potential use of pig manure as a power source was U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry. On the other end were Russian comedians Vladimir “Vovan” Kuznetsov and Alexei “Lexus” Stolyarov, who had just added Perry to their list of high-profile hoax victims. The Energy Department confirmed that Perry thought he was talking to Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman and an interpreter. The pranksters say their previous victims include Elton John and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. (TWP)

Trump blasted for ban LGBT community and lawmakers condemn barring of transgender people in U.S. military

Trump pillories Sessions in new tweet session

in the military, said thousands have been serving in the U.S. armed forces without causing any issues. He threatened legal action if Wednesday’s decision is not reversed.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi pointed out that Trump’s decision came on the same date that President Harry S. Truman signed the executive order desegregating the military in 1948, adding that the president “has chosen this day to unleash a vile and hateful agenda.”

Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the tweet was “another example of why major policy announcements should not be made via Twitter.” McCain, a former Navy pilot and Vietnam prisoner of war, said “there is no reason to force service members who are able to fight, train and deploy to leave the military regardless of their gender identity.”

President Trump renewed his attacks on Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday, questioning on Twitter why the top U.S. law enforcement official had not replaced the acting FBI director — a move that Trump himself has the authority to do.

In two morning tweets, Trump wrote: “Why didn’t A.G. Sessions replace Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a Comey friend who was in charge of Clinton investigation but got big dollars ($700,000) for his wife’s political run from Hillary Clinton and her representatives. Drain the Swamp!”

Trump has for days been attacking Sessions. But the latest attack is curious, since the president himself could remove McCabe. Beyond that, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved Christopher Wray to replace James Comey as FBI director, and the full Senate is expected to confirm Wray soon.

A person familiar with internal White House discussions about Sessions said Trump’s attacks are a public airing of what the president has been saying for months privately — that he blames Sessions’ recusal for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate possible campaign ties to Russia.

MILITARY President Trump said Wednesday he wants transgender people barred from serving in the U.S. military “in any capacity,” citing “tremendous medical costs and disruption.”

Trump’s announcement on Twitter would reverse the effort under former President Obama to open the armed services to transgender people. He did not say what would happen to transgender troops already in the military.

The president tweeted that he was making his announcement after consulting with “generals and military experts,” but he did not name any. He said the military “must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders offered little clarity about the policy at a press briefing. Asked what will happen to transgender troops currently serving, she said the Department of Defense and the White House will work together “as implementation takes place and is done so lawfully.”

At the Pentagon, members of the staff of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis appeared to have been caught unaware by Trump’s tweets. A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, referred questions to the White House.

In a brief written statement, Davis said the Pentagon is working with the White House to “address” what he called “the new guidance” from the president.

Transgender service members have been able to serve openly

WASHINGTONPOST.COM NATIONAL SECURITY

Protesters gather in Times Square to demonstrate against Trump’s ban on transgender service members.

in the military since last year, when former Defense Secretary Ash Carter ended the ban. Since last Oct. 1, they have been able to receive medical care and start formally changing their gender identifications in the Pentagon’s personnel system.

Carter also gave the services until July 1 to develop policies to allow people already identifying as transgender to newly join the military. Mattis announced earlier this month that he was giving military chiefs another six months to conduct a review to determine if allowing transgender individuals to enlist in the armed services would affect the “readiness or lethality” of the force.

Already, there are as many as 250 service members in the process of transitioning to their preferred gender or who have been approved to formally change gender within the Pentagon’s personnel system, according to several defense officials.

A Rand Corp. study last year

Too costly?

President Trump cited “medical costs” as a reason for his decision to ban transgender people from serving in the military. A Defense Department-commissioned study published last year by the Rand Corp. estimated that gender-transitionrelated treatments would cost the military between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually (a 0.04 percent to 0.13 percent increase in spending on active military). In contrast, total military spending on erectile dysfunction medicines amounts to $84 million annually, according to an analysis by the Military Times. (TWP)

estimated about 2,450 transgender people in active military, out of about 1.3 million troops.

Trump’s decision drew swift outrage from LGBT groups and lawmakers from both parties.

This unit has struggled, and the Redskins aimed for improvement by firing defensive coordinator Joe Barry and promoting outside linebackers coach Greg Manusky in his place.

The team signed potential starters in linemen Stacy McGee and Terrell McClain, linebacker Zach Brown and safety D.J. Swearinger. Four of Washington’s first five picks were defensive players, including first-round lineman Jonathan Allen. Coaches also moved 2016 second-rounder Su’a Cravens from inside linebacker to strong safety. Washington has to do better against the run after yielding 119 yards per game, and on third downs (the team allowed a league-high 46.6 percent success rate). There could be seven new starters, so expect some growing pains.

THE WASHINGTON POST

2 Receiving corps has been overhauled Two of Cousins’ favorite targets return in wide receiver Jamison Crowder and tight end Jordan Reed. The team announced Wednesday that Reed will start camp on the physically unable to perform list with a toe sprain. Reliable veterans Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson are gone, so Crowder will start outside and move to the slot in three-receiver sets. Terrelle Pryor, a free agent who signed a one-year deal after a 1,000-yard season with the Browns, seems like a lock to start on the other side. Josh Doctson — finally healthy after a rookie season lost to Achilles injuries — will vie for the third spot. Pryor and Doctson should help in the red zone, where last season the Redskins managed just 14 TDs on 83 pass attempts. Coaches are also high on Ryan Grant.

Redskins players and coaches take the field in Richmond today for their first practice of training camp. After another offseason marked by firings — notably general manager Scot McCloughan — internal hirings and a failed contract negotiation with quarterback Kirk Cousins, the team welcomes the chance to shift the focus back to the game.

5 things to watch as camp begins

Rookies could earn significant roles

Key players are recovering from injury

More contract scrutiny for Cousins

Top draft picks Jonathan Allen and Ryan Anderson have a chance to earn key roles on defense.

Allen should land a starting job on the line, and Anderson (second-rounder) will compete for the starting outside linebacker job opposite Ryan Kerrigan. It remains to be seen how quickly third-round cornerback Fabian Moreau (torn pectoral muscle) and fourth-round safety Montae Nicholson (shoulder surgery) can get healthy enough to contribute. Fourth-rounder Samaje Perine could push starter Rob Kelley for playing time at running back. Fifth-round tight end Jeremy Sprinkle and sixth-rounders Chase Roullier (center) and Robert Davis (wide receiver) could push veterans for roster spots.

The Redskins have a number of veterans returning from injury who have a chance to make an impact. Junior Galette signed with Washington two years ago with the intention of upgrading the team’s pass rush. But two straight seasons lost to Achilles tendon tears have kept the linebacker from playing in a single game. He could make a lot of noise if he regains his double-digit sack form from 2013 and 2014. Niles Paul missed a chunk of last season with shoulder surgery, and he will contribute as a blocking and receiving tight end and as a fullback and special teams ace. DeAngelo Hall aims to return to the secondary after missing 13 games with a torn ACL last season.

Kirk Cousins has dealt with the pressure of playing at a high level without a long-term contract in each of the last two seasons, and he expects to do well again this year. Still, everything he says and does will be scrutinized.

Team president Bruce Allen’s decision to publicize the numbers Cousins rejected during contract negotiations proved curious. Allen was trying to make the franchise look better while lowering public perception of Cousins. The quarterback shrugged off Allen’s attempt — at least publicly — but it’s hard to imagine the move having a positive impact, at least on future negotiations. Will the events of this offseason affect Cousins mentally on the field?

RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU

TENNIS

Job isn’t all smiles: Extension or not, Gruden isn’t safe duties after delegating them to coordinator Sean McVay after Washington went 4-12 in the coach’s first season at the helm. Gruden felt he needed more time to oversee the entire team. But McVay’s departure to become the Rams’ coach will force Gruden to spend time scripting the game plan.

Kirk Cousins will surely surpass his 606 pass attempts, the sixth-most in the NFL last year, under a coach who frequently ignores running plays at his disposal.

Gruden has a contract extension through 2020, but that doesn’t mean his job is safe. If he makes it to next season, he’d be the first coach in owner Dan Snyder’s 18 years to reach a fifth year. Joe Gibbs and Mike Shanahan only coached four, although Gibbs retired from his second stint with Washington after reaching the playoffs in 2007.

Frankly, Gruden becoming the coach who finally outlasts Snyder’s penchant for change would be surprising. Gruden wasn’t a big name when he was signed by an owner who loved marquee hires like Steve Spurrier, Marty Schottenheimer, Gibbs and Shanahan. Aside from hiring Jim Zorn out of desperation, Gruden was Snyder’s first low-key move.

For more than a year, Novak Djokovic’s right elbow hurt when he hit serves or forehands. The pain kept getting worse, so he’s going to give his arm a chance to heal by sitting out the rest of 2017, he announced Wednesday.

Garrett ‘totally healthy’ for start of Browns camp JOHN McDONNELL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Redskins coach Jay Gruden is always quick with a smile.

He tells selfdeprecating jokes in news conferences, constantly praises players and seldom reveals the pressure cooker that makes up life in the NFL. But Gruden’s good humor, as well as his future, will be heavily tested this season.

Amid offseason organizational changes that claimed two coordinators and general manager Scot McCloughan, who had a positive working relationship with Gruden, the head coach has no scapegoats left in his fourth season.

After two modest seasons of 9-7 and 8-7-1, just building for the future isn’t good enough anymore. The team is looking for a breakout despite being picked to finish third or fourth in the NFC East in many media polls.

Lofty expectations may be a bit unfair. With plenty of turnover on both sides of the ball, chemistry could be the Redskins’ greatest challenge, and an unforgiving schedule won’t give the team time to jell.

Gruden is making a significant change, too, returning to offensive play-calling

Djokovic shuts down his season to let elbow heal

Coach Jay Gruden has navigated the pitfalls of working for impatient owner Dan Snyder but will shoulder more responsibilities this season.

Myles Garrett, the defensive end taken No. 1 overall by the Browns in the NFL draft, has recovered from a foot sprain suffered in June that put him in a walking boot and left his status questionable. Coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday that Garrett is “totally healthy” and will be on the field today when Cleveland opens camp following a 1-15 season. (AP) COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Maybe Gruden has survived by being laid-back and staying under the radar. After saying Robert Griffin III was “not even close to good enough” after a loss to the Buccaneers in 2014, Gruden has learned not to criticize players publicly.

Unlike so many of his predecessors, Gruden has never made the team’s success all about him. Players love Gruden because he doesn’t overwork them in practice or berate them when they make mistakes.

Reaching the playoffs might be a reach for this team after a

chaotic offseason, but Gruden will need to win at least half his games again to avoid Snyder’s wanderlust.

If Gruden doesn’t make the playoffs, he can’t hide behind his old accomplishments.

Snyder wants a coach who can make a good team great.

Gruden might be that man after making a bad team good.

This season may very well dictate his future.

Head through the back door of this moody neighborhood bar and you’ll find a lot filled with picnic tables and decorated with colorful doors painted by local artists. There’s

also a foosball table, though you may have to nudge it to make it sit flat before game time. There’s no service outside, so order drinks at the bar and bring them outside.

Why waste a warm summer day standing in line outside Dacha or waiting to go up to the Brixton’s rooftop when you could be actually enjoying a cold drink in the sun?

Here are a few favorite bars with patios that aren’t as well known — and might actually have open seats at happy hour.

Hill Prince

Union Drinkery’s back lot has plenty of picnic-table seating, plus foosball.

The Betsy 514 Eighth St. SE

The rooftop gin bar above Belga Cafe can’t be seen by passers-by: It’s entered via the alley next to the Barracks Row restaurant. Once there, you’ll find a menu with almost

two dozen variations on the gin and tonic: Think Bluecoat gin paired with Fever-Tree Bitter Lemon tonic, lavender and blocks of lemon peelflecked ice. Happy hour runs from 4 to 6:30 p.m. daily (and until 8 p.m. on Sundays).

The courtyard between Hill Prince’s living room-esque lounge and the rear carriage house is just as attractive as the rest of the place, with strings of lights crossing the space between the two buildings.

On Friday and Saturday nights, a small bar pops up selling classic cocktails, rosé and beer.

Five to One 903 U St. NW

Those sitting at the bar of this new cocktail lounge from Trevor Frye (formerly of Dram & Grain) might not notice the cool, industrial deck off the back of the second floor. There’s nothing more than a handful of metal bar stools, but it’s a secluded sunsetwatching spot. The second-floor bar offers beer, wine and basic cocktails.

weekendpass hard after all these years. I wish I could have figured out a way to be an artistic multitasker but I’m not. When I do something, I turn my attention to it fully. So are the vinyl reissues to blame?

Yes, certainly partially, but is it worth doing? I hope so. I know if I went to my grave without putting out a phonograph record, it would be a sad thing.

Gillian Welch is performing 2011’s “The Harrow & The Harvest” on tour to celebrate its vinyl release.

Q+A | GILLIAN WELCH

At last, she’s going on the record

Will we see more vinyl releases?

We’re kind of working our way backwards [through Welch and Rawlings’ discographies], so you can figure it out. … We have to see how the world embraces the stuff.

It’s admirable that you’re doing it yourself.

Well, you could say that. You could call us crazy.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AMERICANA ARTIST GILLIAN WELCH and

musical partner David Rawlings got hold of an early vinyl copy of Van Morrison’s 1968 album “Astral Weeks.” As soon as Welch dropped the needle, she was taken aback. “It was an astounding experience because this is a record I would have told you I knew intimately,” she says. “For the first time, I could actually see Van singing into the microphone, I could visualize what he was doing.

I could see all of it. And just after that moment of revelation, we were both instantaneously furious — just furious that this sonic HENRY DILTZ

information had been eradicated by the CD.” That led the duo to pursue putting their music (made under each of their names) on vinyl for the first time. Frustrated by the inferior quality of many modern-day pressings, they spent $100,000 on a record lathe in 2013 so they could cut LPs and release them on their label, Acony Records. On Friday, the pair releases a vinyl edition of Welch’s 2011 album “The Harrow & The Harvest,” which they’ll perform in full Monday at the Kennedy Center.

When you heard “The Harrow & The Harvest” on vinyl, what did it bring out in the music?

I can hear how we’re playing what we’re playing more clearly on a phonograph record than on any other format on earth. … Also, I have this interesting thing now. I look around my living room and I see all my records stacked against the baseboards. It’s always made me feel weird that the music we make was never a part of that and so I feel like now, if people actually buy this thing and take it home, then we might actually be part of that pile of records.

What do you hope that you — and

your fans — get out of these shows where you’re performing the album in full?

I don’t know. It will be a curious thing for them and for us. We’ve never done a full album performance before.

Will you be doing the album as a set, then a set of other songs?

That seems like a solid plan. The album is a bit introspective. We wouldn’t end the entire show with it so I think the natural thing is to play it as an uninterrupted first set, take an intermission and then come back and play something that balances it out. I’m hoping people will be able to sit back and

enjoy something that they know in a live performance. There’s no other instrumentation on that record — we are the people that are making every sound on that record. And that’s how we tour.

You jump into Dave Rawlings Machine’s tour after this (and release his new album, “Poor David’s Almanack,” on Aug. 11), then go back to “Harvest” shows.

We’ve never done this much pingponging before.

With each project, you trade off who has the leading role. Is it strange to go back and forth?

It’s not that strange. We just need to kind of readjust. Our jobs are a little different in both iterations and it takes us just a few hours of playing, honestly, to kind of recalibrate but I guess we find it enjoyable or we wouldn’t do

You’ve been looking back of late, first with last year’s demos album, “Boots No. 1: The Official Revival Bootleg,” and now the vinyl releases. You haven’t put out a new record since 2011. Where’s the next Gillian Welch album?

Short of Jack White, musicians don’t cut their own vinyl records.

I hate to tell you this but I think we’re crazier than Jack because we actually cut this. If you look at the scribe — those are the initials of the cutting engineer scribed into the inner ring — the initials on “Harrow” are Brent Bishop, who’s an assistant engineer of ours, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings and [mastering engineer] Stephen Marcussen. We are the cutting engineers on “Harrow.”

I don’t know if Jack has ever scribed his name onto the lacquer.

Did you stick the records into the sleeves, too?

I would if I had to. The sad truth is we only do the things we have to.

We bought the lathe because we had to. We’re cutting engineers because we had to be. We formed our own label because we had to. I remember reading a quote from Sam Phillips, who started Sun Records, and I’ve never felt such kinship. He basically said, “I didn’t want to start a record label — I had to.” And that’s exactly how I feel. I had no desire to start a record label — I had to. That’s always what we do: Whatever we have to so no one can stop us.

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

The National Mall is often called “America’s front yard,” but did you know it also used to be America’s toilet? In the 1800s, a canal that ran along what’s now Constitution Avenue was “the grand receptacle of nearly all the filth of this city,” and emitted “70 distinct stinks,” according to the historical writings of two observers at the time.

The number of distinct stinks on the Mall is just a fraction of that today, but they are still out there. Trust me, I know. Over the past few months, I visited every single public women’s room on the Mall — 59 restrooms in total.

That includes facilities from the Supreme Court and Capitol Visitor Center on the east end of the Mall to the freestanding National Park Service kiosks on the west side, and bathrooms at all of the (currently open) museums and monuments in between.

To my surprise, I found a veritable paradise for the peeshy. If you’re willing to poke around the basements and forgotten corners of the less popular Smithsonians, you can find secret bathrooms that are

as deserted as government offices after rumors of snow.

What you will not find are so-called feminine products.

Of the 36 tampon machines I found on the National Mall, only seven delivered the goods. Most of the rest ate my quarters. Is this evidence of a conspiracy to steal change from desperate women, one that goes all the way to the very highest levels of our federal government? All I can say is that if men needed tampons, they would be readily available in all bathrooms, and they would be free.

The restrooms of the National Mall may seem to be a trivial matter, especially when compared to the notable buildings and historical treasures that surround them. But if I’ve learned anything from my expedition, it’s that some bathrooms are worth going out of your way for. To quote a tourist from Fort Collins, Colo., who was impressed with the National Gallery of Art’s broad toilet seats, “I’d walk a long distance to park my cookies there.”

Here are reviews of 10 noteworthy facilities I found on my travels. For reviews, photos and a map of all 59 restrooms, go to wapo.st/bathrooms.

This freestanding kiosk harbors at least two species of spiders and emits a mildewy smell reminiscent of summer camp. One stall door lacks locks but instead offers an innovative “swing through” feature, which allows people to push the door into you while you’re using the toilet. This feature also allows you to whack unsuspecting bathroom patrons with the door on your way out.

National Museum of African American History and Culture

With marble walls, golden garbage cans and handsome cherry cabinetry, the Library of Congress’ bathroom on the lowest level invites you to poop like a turn-of-the-20th-century railroad tycoon. Babies may also enjoy the building’s belle epoque opulence, as this bathroom features a freestanding, sleigh-style changing table — no cheap plastic wallmounted tables for your little scion of industry. On your way out, be sure to check out the library’s collection of area phone books from the early 2000s.

Be warned: While all four bathrooms in this museum have paper towel dispensers, not one of them actually dispenses paper towels. Instead, they dispense shame: “Help reduce paper waste and conserve natural resources,” read laminated signs that urge you to use the hand dryers. A word of advice: Skip the smelly, busy bathroom on the first floor and go to the second-floor bathroom instead. In addition to being quiet and roomy, the bathroom has lots of comfy seating nearby.

1400 Constitution Ave. NW

Why wait 30 minutes in the firstfloor bathroom line when you can have two huge bathrooms on the basement levels nearly all to yourself? Actually, those bathrooms are probably empty because there’s a 20-minute wait to get to that part of the museum.

Your best bet might be the second- or third-floor restrooms, which have nearby benches with a nice view of the Mall. But plan ahead: All five of the tampon machines in this less-than-a-yearold museum failed to deliver.

This Smithsonian building doesn’t have much by way of exhibits, but it makes up for that with its palatial public bathroom. An antechamber dappled with natural light leads to a grand, white-tiled bathroom with black and red accents. Adding to the overall sense of avuncular civility is a faux-leather bench where Smithsonian scientists probably gather to discuss their research findings. And, in addition to a Purell dispenser and toilet seat covers, this bathroom offers the very rarest of amenities: a working tampon machine.

GROOVIEST

This museum has a vast collection of relics from ancient civilizations, including mummies from Egypt, colossal stone statues from Easter Island, and hand dryers with roughly the same blowing power as a ladybug’s sneeze. You’ll find two of the oldest hand dryer specimens — one held together with duct tape — in a sunny, peach-tiled bathroom near the “African Voices” exhibit.

This bathroom, with its black-andwhite-tiled floor, is more reminiscent of “Twin Peaks” than of Monticello — especially since one of the toilets was covered in a big plastic bag like a homicide victim. You’ll find this sortof-air-conditioned bathroom on the ground floor, near the gift shops.

The National Gallery of Art’s East Building was designed by I.M. Pei, who used geometrical motifs to inform his design throughout the space. In the belowground bathroom, for instance, you’ll find isosceles triangle tiles, which complement the overall trapezoidal shape of the building. But it’s not all pointy angles down there: Curvy door handles provide a pleasing counterbalance to the building’s sharp lines. They also cut down on bathroom traffic. At least one group of tourists, after failing to figure out whether to push or pull the door open to get inside, incorrectly concluded it was locked.

Luckily, the E Street Cinema is showing a 4K digital restoration of the 1992 film that took home four Oscars, including best picture. It’s a Western that not only embraces the genre, but explores it in interesting and innovative ways. Clint Eastwood (who also directed) and Morgan Freeman play gunslingers who head out for one last gig, which goes about as well as one last gigs tend to go in the movies.

NEXT WEEK! ‘The Zodiac Killer’ “The Zodiac Killer” isn’t just a movie — it’s bait. The 1971 film, directed by Tom Hanson, was created specifically to capture a serial killer during his reign of terror in San Francisco. Not only does the movie tell a story about a mass murderer very similar to the reallife — and still-unidentified — Zodiac Killer, but Hanson created in-theater traps to try to catch the guy (Hanson thought he’d show up at a screening?

For some reason?). One was an ice cream freezer with a rent-a-cop inside; another was a raffle with a motorcycle as a prize. Think of it as the plot from “Argo,” except this time they actually made the fake movie and totally failed at the real point of the scheme.

Q+A | CHARLES ESTEN

Back home and singing about it

CHARLES ESTEN — BETTER KNOWN AS the tortured Deacon

Claybourne to fans of CMT’s drama “Nashville” — is no newcomer to the Wolf Trap stage. He’s performed there before. As a clown.

“This is my grand return,” says Alexandria native Esten, who once performed as a clown at the International Children’s Festival at Wolf Trap as a kid. “I will not be in clown face this time, and my shoes will be boots, normal size.” On Tuesday, Esten — whose credits also include stints on “The Office” and “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” — will join “Nashville” co-stars Clare Bowen, Chris Carmack and Jonathan Jackson to deliver a potpourri of songs from the country music soap, plus each artist’s original material.

Esten talked to Express about the traveling show, his TV character and the 52 singles he just released. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) It’s unique for a TV show to get to do a live tour. What’s it like for you and the audience?

It’s completely unusual. Other shows have these incredibly passionate fan bases, but “Grey’s Anatomy” doesn’t get to go do surgery around the country — thank God. We get to play music with the fans who love the show the most. When you’re shooting the show, it’s a dark soundstage,

and it’s quiet on the set. You do a song a bunch of times with different camera angles, and we’re focused on getting it exactly right.

There’s something completely different about [performing live].

Deacon has had a particularly dark run on “Nashville,” given the recent death of his longtime love, Rayna Jaymes, played by Connie Britton. Are brighter days ahead?

How do you move on with that kind of loss? I’ve always thought that Rayna made Deacon a better man and a stronger man. And the question is: Did she only make him strong enough to survive with her? Or did she somehow make him strong enough to even survive without her? That’s the journey we’re going to see.

loved writing so much, and I had a bunch of songs — I was just stalling and never pulling the trigger.

Finally, it occurred to me: Why not release them as singles? For a guy who’s been in this town and wanting to do this my whole life, it was this huge boon to creativity.

It was a deadline machine, and I’ve loved every difficult bit of it.

Over the past year, you released an original song every Friday as part of your #EverySingleFriday series, culminating in a 52nd on July 7. Why? I’ve been writing music my whole life, starting back in Northern Virginia when my mother got me guitar and piano lessons. I was in Fairlington [a neighborhood in Arlington County] banging away on a piano trying to imitate Bruce Springsteen’s albums. But it wasn’t until I came to Nashville [to film the show] that I was able to really dig in. I always felt that I was starting from behind. But I

It must be nice to get to have a homecoming of sorts.

The very first song I sang on “Nashville” is called “Back Home,” and one of the lines is about fireflies dancing in the yard. That definitely struck me as being Northern Virginia — I’ve seen those fireflies at Wolf Trap as well. So to get to come back home — and believe me, I’ll be playing that song — it’s just the best.

Spoon drummer Jim Eno, above, and singer Britt Daniel have been collaborating for nearly 25 years, including on Spoon’s latest, “Hot Thoughts,” which adds electronic textures to their indie rock. On Sunday, the band joins Belle and Sebastian, Andrew Bird and Ex Hex for a mini-festival. But first, Eno shared the first three songs that popped into his head.

RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

1

‘I Want More’ CAN

Spoon is named after a CAN song, but it was this 1976 tune that first got Eno hooked on the experimental German band. “It’s probably their most poppy song but it sounds like evil robot German krautrock,” he says.

2

‘The Greatest Thing’ Elvis Costello

“I remember hearing this on the radio when I was in high school and I was driving around with a girlfriend,” Eno says of the 1983 track. “It is such an exciting song from a rhythm section standpoint and it has horns and shakers — it’s a very celebratory song.”

3

‘Making Breakfast’ Twin Peaks

Eno produces a series of live recordings for Spotify, and this song from Chicago-based Twin Peaks’ session got him so into the band that he invited them to open for Spoon later this year. Singerguitarist Clay Frankel “has a really great baritone voice,” Eno says.

An expert on NYC delicatessens shows D.C. what it’s missing

are open on Jewish Sabbath and Jewish holidays.”

TALKS To the chagrin of many area sandwich enthusiasts, D.C. has never been a city known for delicatessens. “I would call that generally accepted knowledge,” Ted Merwin says. “Why that’s so, I really don’t know.”

And if anyone would know, it’s Merwin: He’s the author of the 2015 book “Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli.” In it, he insists that to find true pastrami nirvana, you have to head to the Big Apple.

Though delis have been around New York since the turn of the 20th century, their popularity hit a peak during the interwar period, when a second generation of Jewish immigrants flooded the entertainment industry and created a market for sandwiches in Manhattan’s theater district.

Merwin — the executive director of Baltimore’s Beth Am Synagogue and a former Judaic studies professor at Dickinson College who holds a doctorate in theater — will moderate this weekend’s Smithsonian Associates program

“[Delis] started as takeout stores, so they were ‘delicatessen stores’ in the newspapers in the turn of the 20th century,” Merwin says. And at these “delicatessen stores,” gourmet meats were sold. “Sandwiches became popular later, particularly in the 1920s.”

Delis weren’t always all about the sandwiches.

CURT HUDSON

“A TIMELY, ALMOST REVOLUTIONARY WORK.”

Ted Merwin will share his deli knowledge — but not his sandwich.

“Where Harry Met Sally: The Cuisine and Culture of the New York Jewish Deli.” The talk will cover the Jewish deli’s origins and its place in pop culture — with lunch (of course) provided

by D.C.’s DGS Delicatessen.

And if you think you already know everything about Jewish delis, Merwin can set you straight on a few things.

Not all Jewish delis are kosher.

Not all food at Jewish delis follows kosher rules — and some kosher delis even cheat. For example, Merwin says: “You’re not supposed to have business open on the Sabbath. But there are definitely kosher delis that

A famous brand of cream soda was born from celery tonic.

Dr. Brown, the name on the cans of cream soda still sold today, got his start in the 1860s dispensing his celery tonic to children in New York’s Lower East Side suffering from stomach problems, “which makes sense if they’re eating a lot of this kind of food,” Merwin says.

Brown started bottling cream soda, which remains a deli staple today. “The sandwiches were so greasy that you’d need something carbonated,” Merwin says.

Producer Tittsworth, who traded D.C. for L.A. a few years ago, used a variety of sources to create the 13 tracks on Reagan Bombs’ self-titled debut, including new recordings, vintage samples and snippets of interviews with the late Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown. Thursday’s show at Songbyrd serves as the self-titled album’s official release party, and will also feature a separate DJ set by Tittsworth.

Queen with Adam Lambert Coming in second place isn’t always so bad. Adam Lambert, the “American Idol” runner-up (to Kris Allen) in 2009, makes the perfect

frontman for classic rock icons Queen. During time off from his solo career, Lambert has teamed with active Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor for several tours; his soaring range, theatrical delivery and flamboyant personality help him fill Freddie Mercury’s big shoes.

Nite Jewel Rock and Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE; Sat., 8 p.m., $15-$18.

Ramona Gonzalez, the electropop artist who goes by the name Nite Jewel, has been toiling away since 2008, making songs that have evolved from ethereal abstractions to sparkly R&B gems. Her latest album, “Real High,” presents the most self-assured version of Nite Jewel yet. On the album, she borrows laid-back cool from the ’80s and ’90s, channeling her heroes Mary J. Blige, Aaliyah and Janet Jackson.

For the “American Acoustic Tour,” Thile’s other band, the acoustic quintet Punch Brothers, teams with female folk supergroup I’m With Her, with members Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O’Donovan and Thile’s Nickel Creek bandmate Sara Watkins.

Virtuoso jazz guitarist Julian Lage will serve as an artist-in-residence of sorts, sitting in with both acts.

Ronnie James Dio to tour as a hologram

AMAZON STUDIOS

Jenny Slate, left, and Abby Quinn play sisters dealing with their father’s affair in “Landline.”

In ‘Landline,’ even bad connections are good The comedy’s creative team kept it real for this tale of sex and adultery FILM It’s hard enough to wrap your mind around the fact that your parents have had sex. It’s even more mind-blowing to discover one of them is having it with someone else.

That’s the situation at the center of “Landline,” the latest from director Gillian Robespierre (“Obvious Child”), which opens locally Friday. It’s a comedy about how adultery is bad but the results of it can be good.

It’s 1995, and Alan and Pat (John Turturro and Edie Falco) are long-married Manhattanites; their daughters discover he’s having an affair. Jenny Slate plays adult and engaged Dana, and Abby Quinn plays 17-yearold Ali, who is stumbling and fumbling her way into the world of high school sex.

“We wanted to depict what sex looked like for each of these characters,” says Robespierre, who co-wrote the screenplay with

Director Gillian Robespierre says she wanted to portray the upside of a parent’s adultery in “Landline.”

Elisabeth Holm. “We got to be a fly on the wall for each woman’s experience with sex. One being a monogamous long-term relationship, and we wanted to show teenage sex and how awkward it is, and then the sex with John and Edie is so bittersweet and very complicated.”

For Quinn, it was pretty easy to get into her character’s tentative sexual exploration, but she didn’t have to draw from life experience.

“It was more like, I was definitely nervous to film a sex

“Wonder Woman 2” gets Dec. 13, 2019, release date

scene,” says Quinn, who has done relatively little feature work.

“When I saw how technical it was, it was so awkward, which totally works for 17-year-olds.

I mean, you wear this huge underwear and then it’s ‘OK, get on top now’ and ‘Oh, wow, I barely know this person.’ I’ve seen [the scene] three times and I’m just cringing watching it.”

Slate and Holm also worked with Robespierre on 2014’s “Obvious Child,” a film that’s usually described as a comedy about abortion. With “Landline,” Robespierre wanted to show that something that’s usually considered a trauma — in this case, adultery — can, in the end, be valuable.

“That divorce brought this family together was something that happened for Liz and myself, and it actually changed the dynamics in our households for the better,” Robespierre says. “Our parents weren’t just these strangers who fed us dinner and told us when to be home. They became vulnerable humans, and it was a scary moment, but ultimately a great moment in our families.”

Late heavy metal icon Ronnie James Dio is set to tour again in hologram form. The “Dio Returns” world tour will kick off Nov. 30 in Helsinki, Finland, before coming to the U.S. in the spring, Rolling Stone reported.

Dio’s widow, Wendy, says the hologram “gives the fans that saw Ronnie perform an opportunity to see him again and new fans that never got to see him a chance to see him for the first time.” In addition to his self-titled band, Dio, who died of stomach cancer in 2010 at age 67, fronted Black Sabbath for a time. Dio is also not the first deceased performer to return to the stage as a hologram. Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur and Eazy-E have all been showcased as holograms in recent years. (AP)

Britt Robertson to star in ABC legal drama “For the People”

Haim plays to the beat of their own drum MUSIC Rock trio Haim remembers filming their first music video for just $200 before they were signed to a record label. It was for their 2013 track “Forever,” and features Alana, Danielle and Este Haim riding bikes and dancing in a hair salon. It is carefree, but meticulous, with the Haim sisters at the creative forefront.

Fast-forward four years to the release of their sophomore album, “Something to Tell You,” and the trio is still in charge.

“We’ve just never known it any other way,” says Danielle, 28. “We don’t do anything unless we are 100 percent invested.”

Since the release of their 2013 debut, “Days Are Gone,” Haim have spent most of their time on tour — headlining their own shows and also opening up for close friend Taylor Swift. When they returned from the road, the studio felt like a playground. The sisters co-wrote each song on the new record, which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 chart this month.

“And we felt kind of on fire as a band,” says Este, 31.

They add that they’ve been inspired by other female musicians, from Kate Bush to Stevie Nicks to Donna Summer, and they hope to the do same for other women.

“We want to inspire girls to pick up instruments and play,” says Alana, 25. “We want to see more girls ... play rock or whatever type music they want.”

a friend may be close to a falling out, but you can preserve the relationship by suggesting a compromise.

TODAY: Winds pick up just a bit to near 10 mph. Highs reach the mid-80s to near 90 under partly sunny skies, with higher humidity as well (dew points in the upper 60s to near 70). Some showers and storms are possible by late afternoon. Showers and storms seem likely during the evening and/or overnight.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You

have more power today than you have had in the recent past, so you must take care that you don’t run roughshod over anyone.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Interact with others carefully and take the time to assess their motives. You know who your friends are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can come up with an idea that others will accept as perfect, but one of your critics may insist that even this plan is impossible.

Kris already has cameras on surrogate

Man endorses death wish Michael Phelps took to Facebook Live to respond to backlash he received when the Discovery Channel revealed that his race against a shark in his Shark Week special on Sunday was actually a simulation. “If somebody actually wants to get in the water and race sideby-side with a great white, go ahead,” he said. “You’re not going to get the shark to swim in a straight line.

And, uh, yeah, it would be interesting to see.” (EXPRESS)

The surrogate whom Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West have reportedly chosen to carry their third child is already three months pregnant with the famous couple’s baby, an insider told Us Weekly.

The woman, who was not identified but is said to be a San Diego native in her late 20s, is expecting around January 2018. Reality show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” has documented Kardashian West’s two high-risk pregnancies and her search to find alternative ways to expand her family. The Hollywood Reporter reached out to Kardashian West’s team for confirmation on the surrogate’s pregnancy but was told “no comment.” (EXPRESS)

Kate Hudson was photographed this week sporting a fully shaved head.

The New York Post reported that the actress changed her look for a new role in a mysterious project from pop star Sia. Hudson had recently shared photos to her Instagram of herself rehearsing in an unspecified project with Sia’s dance star, Maddie Ziegler. Her hair was notably hidden in that Instagram photo.

“I have never actually f---ed a raccoon.

Justin Bieber canceled his tour earlier this week, reportedly to reconvene with his spiritual side.

TMZ reported that Bieber has an “intense” relationship with his church pastor, Carl Lentz, who also influences the pop star’s life decisions. Insiders told People that Bieber is “exhausted” (as his initial statement from Monday alluded to), but is “going to church and has been hanging out with his church crew.” (EXPRESS)

JAMES GUNN, director of “Guardians of the Galaxy,” providing a clarification after he had just said in a directors’ roundtable with GQ magazine, “I love f---in’ raccoons.”
