Lost memorial flag returned with honor Ceremony marks the safe return of an Army vet’s family heirloom

WHAT A CATCH! MICHAEL ROBINSON CHAVEZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY William Holley, 79, was driving down Central Avenue in Prince George’s County on July 17, in the process of moving to a new apartment, when someone at a red light leaned over. “Hey, something fell out of the back of your truck!” Holley pulled over, scanned his belongings and realized what was missing: a folded American flag, given to Holley’s wife after the death of her uncle Marcellus Herod, a World War I Army veteran, in the 1980s. Holley couldn’t find the heirloom, so he drove off, assuming someone had taken it. He couldn’t have predicted that Tom Ja r rett, a Nav y veteran, would be on the same avenue that morning. Jarrett spotted the folded flag — the type usually handed to families at burial services — and picked it up, realizing how much

that flag must mean to someone. He took it to Prince George’s police and the department put out a video appeal for help locating the owner. Holley’s daughter saw the public notice about the flag and called her father, who then called detectives. At a small ceremony Tuesday, Holley stood next to a picture of his wife’s uncle and received the flag in front of about 40 members of the police department, including 12 veterans and one officer who is still active military.

A resident of the county since 1978, Holley is an Army veteran himself. He served 20 years during the Vietnam War era. “When we go overseas, one of the first things we look for is the colors,” Holley said. “We know we have friends amongst others. Thank you very much for bringing this back.” And as for where Holley will be keeping the flag from now on, he said: “Where I can best watch it.” LAUREL DEMKOVICH (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Orchestra could stay open National Philharmonic raises needed funds after budget shortfall BETHESDA Two weeks ago, the Marylandbased National Philharmonic announced that it was planning to close because it had run out of money. On Monday night, a local musician and businessman presented to the board a concrete proposal to save the year-round regional orchestra — which performs at Strathmore in Montgomery County — and on Tuesday, the orchestra administration said that it had raised the funds needed to stay open. “We certainly are thrilled beyond belief that the community has come together to support this organization,” said Leanne Ferfolia, the orchestra’s president, who had been working overtime to raise the $150,000 needed by Wednesday. Meanwhile, James Kelly, a violist who co-owns Potter Violins in Silver Spring, said he had pledges from 12 donors, including himself, amounting to $275,000 — if the orchestra boots its leadership and allows him to take over as interim president. Now the orchestra’s board has to decide what to do so its season

The National Philharmonic last month announced plans to close but has since raised $150,000 to cover a shortfall.

can start as announced Sept. 21. Kelly has played with the orchestra for six seasons and worked as its personnel manager for the past two. Before his meeting with the board Monday, the orchestra’s musicians — whose contract expired June 30 — voted unanimously to support him. Kelly also said he wants the president’s job only for a year, without pay. “This is not a power trip for me at all,” Kelly, 42, said Tuesday. “… Executive management has

worked really, really hard, and tirelessly. But direction from the board has not been great guidance.” Some of the underlying problems, Ferfolia said, are the large debt the orchestra had accumulated and a small endowment. She reported to the council last fall that the orchestra had no cushion should a season underperform — as last season did. The National Philharmonic, founded 36 years ago, is among the largest regional orchestras

COLUMBIA, MD. Woodstock 50 organizers announced on Wednesday that the beleaguered music festival, which was supposed to take place Aug. 16 through Aug. 18, is officially canceled. “We are saddened that a series of unforeseen setbacks has made it impossible to put on the Festival we imagined with the great line-up we had booked,” organizer Michael Lang, co-founder of the 1969 festival, said in a statement. Organizers had been forced to relocate the commemorative festival last week to Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md., after failing to secure permits for venues in both Watkins Glen and Vernon, N.Y. Artists announced in March as part of the festival lineup — which included JAY-Z and Miley Cyrus, as well as 1969 performers Dead and Company, Santana and John Fogerty — were released from their contracts after the move to Merriweather. While Woodstock 50 is no longer happening, a separate, smaller gathering is set to take place in Bethel, N.Y., from Aug. 15 through Aug. 18, the dates of the original festival.

Some Democrats balk as Fairfax lawmaker stirs GOP outrage POLITICS One moment of defiance of President Trump launched Virginia Republicans and Democrats into a frenzy of accusations and fundraising this week. The catalyst was Del. Ibraheem Samirah, D-Fairfax, who interrupted Trump’s speech

Tuesday at an historical commemoration in Jamestown by shouting, “Virginia is our home! You can’t send me back!” He was escorted out by police, then boasted of his protest online. The actions by Samirah, a dentist who has only been in office for five months, sparked internal dissent among Democrats and put party leaders in an uncomfortable spot.

He also encouraged donations in a pivotal election year when every legislature seat will be on the ballot. The state GOP got just as much mileage out of it. Jack Wilson, the party chairman, sent a fundraising email in which he called Samirah “a proven anti-Semite” and accused Democrats of hating America.

Iran’s foreign minister $2.45M hit with U.S. sanctions MICHIGAN STATE BUYOUT

TEHRAN, IRAN The Trump administration imposed sanctions on Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Wednesday in a dramatic step bound to further escalate tensions with Tehran. The move to punish Iran’s top diplomat had been anticipated after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in June that President Trump had directed him to do so. But the sanctions were delayed after State Department officials argued that would close the door to diplomacy. Trump has frequently expressed a desire to talk with Iranian leaders, even as his administration deepens a maximum pressure campaign that has devastated the Iranian economy. A Treasury Department statement said Zarif was sanctioned because he “acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly” Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, who himself was sanctioned in late June. At that time, Mnuchin said measures would also be taken against Zarif, although action was subsequently postponed amid statements by Trump that he was willing to negotiate with Iran “without preconditions.” “Javad Zarif implements the reckless agenda of Iran’s

Supreme Leader and is the regime’s primary spokesperson around the world. The United States is sending a clear message to the Iranian regime that its recent behavior is completely unacceptable,” Mnuchin said. The sanctions freeze all U.S. assets and prohibit any U.S. person or entity from dealings with Zarif, and threatens sanctions against those in other countries who deal with him. Zarif, 59, was educated in the U.S. and has spent about onethird of his life in this country. He has said he has no U.S. assets. The sanctions also prohibit travel to the U.S., which is already banned for Iranian officials.

Under international agreement, the United States must admit those traveling to the United Nations in their official capacity. Zarif visited the United Nations in July, although the State Department limited him to U.N. headquarters and the Iranian diplomatic mission in New York. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Zarif has been “complicit” in Tehran’s support for terrorism, torture and foreign adventurism. “Iran’s Foreign Ministry is not merely the diplomatic arm of the Islamic Republic but also a means of advancing many of the Supreme Leader’s destabilizing policies,” he said.

Trump says weakening import ban will lower costs for prescriptions

HEALTH The Trump administration said Wednesday it will create a way for Americans to legally and safely import lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada for the first time, reversing years of refusals by health authorities amid a public outcry over high prices for life-sustaining medications. The move is a step toward fulfilling a 2016 campaign promise by President Trump, and it weakens an import ban that has stood as a symbol of the political clout of the pharmaceutical industry. It’s unclear how soon consumers will see benefits, as the plan has to go through regulatory approval and later could face court challenges from drugmakers. It comes as the industry is facing a crescendo of consumer complaints over prices, as well as legislation from both parties in Congress to rein in costs, along with a sheaf of proposals from the Democratic presidential contenders. Ahead of the 2020 election, Trump feels pressure to deliver on years of harsh rhetoric about the pharmaceutical industry.

Night 1 debate’s takeaways The Democrats’ raucous presidential debate Tuesday highlighted a fundamental choice facing the party in 2020: whether to pick a nominee who calls for big, ambitious policies or one with a more centrist, pragmatic approach. The exchanges exposed intraparty divisions about policy, ideology and strategy that pitted two leading progressive voices, Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, against an array of rivals. Here are a few takeaways from Tuesday. (Wednesday’s second Democratic debate happened after Express’ deadline.) (AP)

Evolution vs. Revolution

Trump plays big role

‘Medicare for All’ under fire

United against racism

The battle lines were clear in Tuesday’s debate from the opening remarks. This was the pragmatists against the front-runners seeking transformational change. Over and over, moderate candidates like Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland argued that Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ plans — from “Medicare for All” to the Green New Deal — are unrealistic and would scare off voters. Bullock bemoaned the candidates’ “wish-list economics.” Sanders argued his health plan is “not radical” and is achievable. Warren said the country’s problems can’t be solved with “small ideas and spinelessness.”

President Trump loomed large over the Democratic debate stage. Repeatedly, the candidates mixed their policy plans with political strategy, arguing over whether their party’s leftward push will only open them up to Republican criticism. On topics from Medicare for All to immigration, Warren and Sanders found themselves under attack as their more moderate competitors told them their policies only played into Trump’s hands. ”You might as well FedEx the election to Donald Trump,” Hickenlooper said. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg tried to end the unusually public display of anxiety, declaring that “it is time to stop worrying about what the Republicans will say. ... Let’s just stand up for the right policy,”

If the fight was between centrists and progressives, Medicare for All was the weapon. The early moments of the debate were dominated by a fight over whether Sanders’ plan to eliminate private insurance in favor of a universal government health plan is possible, practical or political suicide. At times, with Medicare for All supporters Sanders and Warren outnumbered, the centrists piled on, raising doubts about the quality of care it could offer, the costs and the disruption to the health care system. Sanders grew agitated as he defended the plan. The coverage would actually be better, he argued. “You don’t know that, Bernie,” Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan interjected. “I do know,” Sanders fired back. “I wrote the damn bill!”

For all the divisions onstage Tuesday, the candidates were unified in rebuking Trump’s racist comments and use of race as a campaign theme for 2020. Trump in recent weeks has told four congresswomen of color to “go back” to the countries they came from, although they’re all U.S. citizens, and has criticized Rep. Elijah Cummings’ Baltimore-area district as a “rat and rodent infested mess.” Sanders said Trump exploited racism. Warren said, “The president is advancing environmental racism, economic racism, criminal justice racism, health care racism.” Warren won strong applause from the Detroit audience when she declared her administration would treat white supremacy as a form of domestic terrorism.

North conducts second missile test in a week WONSAN, NORTH KOREA South Korea’s military said North Korea conducted its second weapons test in less than a week Wednesday, firing two shortrange ballistic missiles off its east coast in a move observers said could be aimed at boosting pressure on the United States as the rivals struggle to set up fresh nuclear talks. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the missiles were launched from Wonsan, a city the North pushes as a vacation destination but that it also uses as a launch site. It said both missiles were believed to have flown about 155 miles at a maximum altitude of 19 miles, and that the South Korean and U.S. militaries were trying to gather more details. The test, which would be yet another North Korean violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, comes as the country’s negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear weapons program are at a stalemate and as Pyongyang has expressed anger over planned U.S.-South Korean military drills. “The North’s repeated missile launches are not helpful to efforts to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and we urge [North Korea] to stop this kind of behavior,” the South Korean statement said. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters that the launches were “no threat to Japanese national security.” HYUNG-JIN KIM (AP)

Fed cuts interest rates

Announcing first reduction since 2008, chair sends mixed signals about what’s next Fed Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday’s move was not “the beginning of a lengthy cutting cycle.”

WASHINGTONPOST.COM RETROPOLIS

Tape from 1971 reveals Reagan using racist slur

the U.S. economy was deep in the financial crisis. The stock market had shed a third of its value in a matter of weeks, and unemployment was over 7%. Today the economy is widely viewed as healthy, with unemployment at a half-century low, stocks at record highs and inflation remaining modest. The Fed is supposed to make the best decisions for the economy’s long-term health and ignore political pressure. While some scholars and business leaders say there is concern the Fed might be caving to Trump’s demands, former Fed leaders say the president’s tweets and criticism are not swaying Powell and his colleagues. “I know Jay Powell very well,” said former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan. “The chance he would buckle to what the president of the United States said about policy above his knowledge of how it works just seems inconceivable.”

It was October 1971, and the U.N. had just voted to recognize the People’s Republic of China. Then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan was furious that delegations from Africa did not back the U.S. position — that the U.N. should recognize Taiwan as an independent state — and called President Nixon to vent. Reagan was upset after watching delegates from Tanzania celebrate the U.N. decision to support Chinese sovereignty over Taiwan. “To see those, those monkeys from those African countries — damn them, they’re still uncomfortable wearing shoes!” Reagan said. Nixon replied with a big laugh. The conversation between Reagan and Nixon was published in The Atlantic this week. Tim Naftali, former director of the Nixon Presidential Library, worked to get the tape released. “It was worse than I expected,” he said. Reagan historians are still reconciling the newly revealed audio with his record. As Naftali noted in The Atlantic, Nixon’s racist views were well known, but Reagan’s diaries are free of such rhetoric. Some of Reagan’s most divisive policies — like embracing the apartheid government of South Africa and popularizing the trope of the “welfare queen” — may take on a different light now. MORGAN

HEATHER LONG (THE WASHINGTON POST)

KRAKOW AND TIM ELFRINK (TWP)

MANUEL BALCE CENETA (AP)

ECONOMY The Federal Reserve reduced the benchmark interest rate Wednesday by a quarter-point to about 2.25%, a modest and widely expected move that is meant to keep the economy healthy in the face of headwinds from President Trump’s trade war and slower growth overseas. The move was the first interest-rate reduction since December 2008, when the nation was in the midst of the Great Recession. Fed Chair Jerome Powell, a frequent target of Trump’s ire, said the Fed took this action to keep the economy growing for as long as possible. Stocks fell sharply during Powell’s news conference shortly after the rate-cut announcement. The Dow Jones industrial average shed over 300 points after Powell said this was not “the beginning of a lengthy cutting cycle,” suggesting there would be only another cut or two after this. “Let me be clear. It’s not the beginning of a long series of rate cuts. I didn’t say it’s just one [cut] or anything like that,” Powell said. “It’s appropriate to adjust monetary policy to a somewhat more accommodative stance.” Wall Street has been pricing in at least three rate cuts this year. Trump has bashed the Fed repeatedly in the past year and called for a “large” cut in interest rates. Historically, the Fed has hardly ever cut rates just once, and Fed leaders appeared to keep the door open to additional easing later this year. The market’s message to Powell is “not enough,” tweeted Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at the Janney financial firm. In addition to the rate reduction, the Fed announced that it would stop selling off its $3.8 trillion assets in August, two months

earlier than expected, in another easing move. The Fed bought a large amount of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities in the aftermath of the financial crisis to keep interest rates low. The central bank started to sell some of its holdings in recent months because it did not think that extra stimulus was necessary anymore. Now the Fed is putting this on hold. “Weak global growth, trade policy and muted inflation” prompted the Fed’s actions Wednesday, Powell said. He characterized the U.S. economy as “positive” and said most of the problems are coming from overseas. He specifically mentioned Europe and China. Some economists have questioned why the Fed is stimulating growth at a time when the economy looks solid, if not strong. Two out of 10 members of the Fed’s rate-setting committee dissented Wednesday. The last time the Fed cut rates,

Why take action now? Top Federal Reserve leaders see three key reasons to cut rates. (TWP) Trump’s trade war: Manufacturing was in a “technical recession” the first half of the year, the housing market remains sluggish, and business investment tanked in the spring as corporate leaders grew more wary over ongoing trade tensions. The Fed needs to act sooner rather than later: New York Fed President John Williams said in a speech earlier this month: “When you only have so much stimulus at your disposal, it pays to act quickly to lower rates at the first sign of economic distress.” Inflation is too low: The Fed wants to see inflation of about 2% a year. For the past several years, it’s been running below that threshold and is currently hovering around 1.6%. Some Fed leaders see great risk in not getting inflation back to that target, because business leaders will stop believing 2% is the true target if it is never achieved.

Astros add ace Greinke

For bullpen, help’s finally on the way

Hunter Strickland has a career 2.98 ERA with 214 strikeouts in 229 ⅓ innings.

Nats acquire three much-needed pitchers in final hours before MLB’s trade deadline

The Astros acquired Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke, below, in exchange for four minor leaguers, adding a six-time All-Star to a rotation that includes Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole.

Roenis Elias has a 4.40 ERA with 14 saves and 45 strikeouts in 47 innings this year.

Because Hudson, Elias and Strickland were not among the high-profile relievers available — not Greene, not Ken Giles of the Blue Jays, not Will Smith of the Giants — the Nationals didn’t have to squeeze an already thin system dry. They sent Class A pitcher Kyle Johnston to Toronto for Hudson. They dealt two minor league arms, lefty Taylor Guilbeau and righty Elvis Alvarado, for Elias. They used left-handed pitcher Aaron Fletcher to net Strickland, and didn’t have to touch any of their top 20 prospects to improve. But that raises the question of how the Nationals’ deadline stacked up to the Braves’. Washington was interested in Greene, if a bit wary of his standout season, and had discussions with the Tigers into Wednesday. But Detroit never stopped asking for top prospect Carter Kieboom, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations, and Washington was unwilling to trade him. The Braves, on the other hand, parted with three of their top 30 prospects to get Greene, Melancon and Martin, all of whom have closing experience. The Braves will take on the $18 million still owed to Melancon, according to reports.

NATIONALS While the Nationals and Braves battled for 10 innings Wednesday afternoon, a bigger competition was happening off the field. The league was closing in on its 4 p.m. trade deadline. Both the Nationals and Braves, wrestling atop the National League East, needed bullpen help. So the Nationals, in a span of 40 minutes, dealt for Daniel Hudson from the Blue Jays, and Roenis Elias and Hunter Strickland from the Mariners. And the Braves, having added Chris Martin from the Rangers on Tuesday, got Shane Greene from the Tigers and Mark Melancon from the Giants. That totaled six new relievers in 24 hours between the two clubs. The Braves took the contest and series, winning the finale 5-4 in 10 innings, restoring a 61/2 -game lead over Washington. Now the next two months, and a pennant race, will decide who wins the arms race. “It was a busy, productive day for us, I think we’ve upgraded our bullpen,” Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said once the deadline passed. “These aren’t the sexiest names in the trade market but we think we got good quality, reliable guys with some moxie and some experience.”

Major League Baseball’s trade deadline was Wednesday afternoon, and this year there’s no waiver period to fall back on. Here are some of the day’s most notable moves. (AP)

BRAVES 5, NATIONALS 4 (10)

Nats fall in extra innings Juan Soto hit a leadoff home run, his 20th homer of the season, at Nationals Park on Wednesday and Washington cobbled together a tworun, ninth-inning rally to force extra innings against the Braves — but it wasn’t enough. In the 10th, Josh Donaldson, above, hit a solo home run off Nats closer Sean Doolittle. Unable to capitalize on a two-on, one-out rally in the bottom of the inning, the Nats lost 5-4. (TWP)

Rizzo had a significantly tighter budget, with Washington planning all season to stay beneath the $206 million competitive balance tax threshold. That left about $5 million to spend at the deadline, and Rizzo said that the team is still under it after the three deals. How the new bullpen stacks up — against the Braves in the seven remaining matchups between the clubs and in the other 47 games — will decide the Nationals’ fate. “The biggest thing is the message that it sends from the front office to the guys in here in this clubhouse,” Nats closer Sean Doolittle said Wednesday. “That they got our backs and they’re going to try to give us a little bit extra pieces to keep this momentum going and help us down the stretch run.” JESSE DOUGHERTY

The Giants traded closer Mark Melancon to the Braves for reliever Daniel Winkler and a minor league pitcher. They also sent reliever Sam Dyson to the Twins and kept 2014 World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner. The Cubs acquired outfielder Nicholas Castellanos from the Tigers for two minor league pitchers. The 27-year-old hit .273 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs this season.

Comeback tour makes D.C. stop

CITI OPEN Andy Murray’s closing act at last year’s Citi Open left him in tears. After a marathon thirdround match ended just past 3 a.m., Murray draped himself in a towel and sobbed. Murray won the match, but withdrew from the tournament soon after. The former world No. 1 was spent. His surgically repaired hip was barking. “I couldn’t walk,” Murray recalled this week. In January, he said the Australian Open might be the last tournament of his career. A year after that agonizing late-night win and just six months removed from a second hip surgery, he is hopeful. Murray returned to the Citi Open this week for a rare chance to play doubles with his brother Jamie. They topped Édouard RogerVasselin and Nicolas Mahut 6-4, 6-7(7), 10-5, in their first match Wednesday, scoring eight straight points after being down 2-5 in a match tiebreaker. Jamie, who specializes in doubles, won last year’s competition with his partner Bruno Soares. Murray, 32, is also using the week at Rock Creek Park Tennis Center to prepare for a return to singles.

Murray, a three-time Grand Slam champ, is playing doubles with his brother at Citi Open

Andy Murray, who had hip surgery in January, returned to the Citi Open in the District on Wednesday to play doubles with his brother Jamie.

The three-time Grand Slam champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist hasn’t played a singles match since January. He’s not far off, though. “Just not being in pain, it’s amazing what that will do to you,”

Pro Football Hall of Fame middle linebacker Nick Buoniconti, an undersized overachiever who helped lead the Dolphins to the NFL’s only perfect season and became a leader in the effort to cure paralysis, died Tuesday at 78. He was bypassed in the NFL draft but captained the Dolphins’ back-to-back Super Bowl champions in the 1970s. He raised millions to fight paralysis after his son was paralyzed playing football. (AP)

Russell Canouse, a starting defensive midfielder for D.C. United, will miss three to six weeks after suffering a collapsed lung during a 0-0 draw against Chicago on Saturday. Canouse, 24, was injured when he collided with C.J. Sapong. He was hospitalized for two days in the Chicago area. The timetable sidelines Canouse for at least four of United’s 10 remaining matches. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

he said. “Like just how I feel every single day when I wake up, it’s amazing. I couldn’t remember what that was like. So, these last few months have been brilliant.” Having only played doubles since returning to competition

in June, Murray acknowledged that his conditioning still needs improvement. Other than that, he said, he’s ready for one more lasting comeback. “I’m really happy with where I’m at,” he said. “There are things I can do on the court now that when I played here last year, I was winning tough matches against good players, [but] I can do way better than I did last year.” Murray said the best-case scenario would be a return to singles at the Cincinnati Masters, which will open Aug. 10. A more realistic return, he said, would be after the U.S. Open in September. Murray said he did not want his first tournament back to be a major. But whether he returns next month or in three months, it’s worth asking: Will Murray ever be the same player he was before his hip started acting up in 2017? His last full year on tour was 2016. It was arguably the best year of his career, complete with an appearance atop the world rankings. “The question I sort of ask more recently is ‘Why not?’ ” he explained. “What’s the reason for why I shouldn’t be able to get back to where I was? There’s no good reason for why I shouldn’t be able to.” BEN RABY (FOR EXPRESS)

THOMAS’ CONTRACT

$100M

The amount Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will earn over five years with his new contract extension, announced Wednesday. His average annual pay of $20 million is a new high for receivers, eclipsing Browns wideout Odell Beckham Jr.’s $18 million per year. Last season, Thomas, 26, led in catches with 125, ranked sixth in yards receiving with 1,405 and tied for 10th with nine TD catches. (AP)

Expectations for Quinn build in training camp REDSKINS Trey Quinn motioned from left to right Tuesday, just before Case Keenum got the snap. Quinn ran a drag route across the field and was left uncovered as Keenum made the throw. The second-year receiver turned upfield and ran, the sound of him screaming, “Woo! Woo! Woo!” audible from the sideline until he was stopped just shy of the end zone. Teammates paused to watch Quinn power-spike the ball in celebration. Expectations are high for the final pick of the 2018 draft out of SMU. Though Quinn played just three games and spent most of last season on injured reserve, the team did not sign a veteran to replace Jamison Crowder, who signed a $28.5 million free agent deal with the Jets in the spring. “Trey Quinn’s got the inside spot pretty much locked down,” coach Jay Gruden said. “He’s a very versatile player, but we just have to get him the ball and see how he does. … When it’s time to catch the ball, he’s going to make the play and get separation.” Last season Quinn shadowed Crowder and looked to learn for the future. Sooner than expected, the future is now. “It’s still playing ball for me,” Quinn said. “I know a bigger role is expected out of me and that’s what I’ve prepared my whole life for. … Luckily for me, besides my family and my faith, it’s my biggest love in the world.” KAREEM COPELAND (TWP)

This Mall walk sounds different ETC ... The experience of striding the National Mall and gazing at its monuments can inspire a variety of adjectives: “splendid,” “patriotic,” “striking.” But “silent”? Among crowds of tourists? It can be, thanks to Murray Hidary, a composer and pianist based in L.A. and New York who

travels the world leading groups of all ages on his MindTravel SilentWalk program. On Thursday, he’ll lead a two-hour stroll from the Albert Einstein Memorial to the Washington Monument and the Tidal Basin before wrapping up at the Lincoln Memorial. The twist: Hikers will spend the entire two hours wearing wireless headphones, listening to a mixture of Hidary’s original musical compositions and his meditative monologues. “We’re walking through the landscape as a silent experience

effect, Hidary says. The kinetic experience of walking — sometimes, at Hidary’s request, in slow motion — mingles with the soundtrack and the external surroundings. “There’s something

about that physical movement which gets the whole system integrated,” he says. At the end, each person shares a word or phrase to sum up their experience. After 18 months of leading these walks, Hidary says the reactions have a similar tone. “Overwhelmingly, it’s about connection with the universe, with each other and a deep feeling of love and openness,” he says. After the walk, Hidary sends an email with a link to his recordings and an invitation to replicate the ritual. “They can do it anytime they want,” he says. MARK LIEBERMAN (EXPRESS)

FESTIVALS This weekend, you can get a tarot card reading, watch karaoke and find your way out of an escape room — all at a book event. Those are just some of the offbeat ways you can learn about new writers and their works at this year’s Asian American Literature Festival, hosted by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, the Library of Congress and the Poetry Foundation. And no, you don’t have to be well-versed in Asian lit to appreciate this free event, but going in with an open mind helps. “Part of the spirit [of the festival] is to stage different kinds of experiential encounters with literature that maybe aren’t possible in a standard bookstore space,” says Lawrence-Minh Bùi Davis, lead organizer of the festival and curator of Asian Pacific American studies at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center. “We have a number of programs that ask people to think about literature in a new way.”

The fest’s Literary Lounge is a book fair reimagined as an interactive space.

This year’s edition of the biennial festival, which debuted in 2017, features roughly 100 authors, artists and other creatives from the D.C. area and beyond. Events will be held at three locations: the Eaton DC hotel, the Library of Congress and the Freer | Sackler galleries. Name any subject and chances are it’s highlighted somewhere on the schedule, which includes poetry, fiction and queer stories in Asian literature. “One of our featured festival

performers, Franny Choi, recently wrote an essay with a line that’s stuck with me: The future is femme and queer,” Davis says. “She was writing specifically about Asian American arts and literature and pointing to the fact that so many important, emerging voices are queer-identifying.” Choi, a queer-identifying Michigan-based poet, is one of about a dozen writers taking part in the festival’s Queer Literaoke event on Saturday. Participants will read their works and sing

a verse of their favorite song. “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born,” “Hello” by Adele and “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion are some of the picks. “It allows us to see writers and poets that we may know in one capacity or know for certain kinds of work singing as well,” Davis says. “It’s a different look into their personalities.” In addition to the experiential events are more traditional offerings, including readings by Ocean Vuong, who will discuss his recent New York Times bestseller, “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous,” and Sally Wen Mao, who will deliver a poetry reading under her moniker Anime Wong. There are also panel discussions and writing workshops where festival-goers can fine-tune their skills. Davis hopes attendees walk away with new ideas, and maybe a new book or two. “We’ll have a station set up [at the Eaton] where people can bring an [Asian American literary] book and we’ll invite them to inscribe it with a note to say, ‘That was my favorite part’ or, ‘This was a part that was very moving to me,’ and [they can] leave it there,” Davis says. “In return, they’ll receive a book that somebody else anonymously donated. We like to think about this as a sharing opportunity and a way to guide one another into literature through the things that move us.” STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be the Change,â&#x20AC;? Mark G. Meadowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; EP released last month, honors the past with two Stevie Wonder covers and a reimagined Charlie Chaplin tune. But the recordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larger message is all about looking ahead. One new song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go,â&#x20AC;? encourages decisiveness in the face of daunting choices. The title track, meanwhile, converts Meadowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distress following the 2016 election into an optimistic anthem about taking progress into oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because this administration is in office doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t still have the ability to be the change that we wish to see in the world,â&#x20AC;? the D.C.-based jazz composer, pianist and vocalist says. His band, Mark G. Meadows & The Movement, will celebrate â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be the Changeâ&#x20AC;? with a release show at AMP by Strathmore (11810 Grand Park Ave., North Bethesda, Md.; Aug. 16, 8 p.m., $18-$32). On his perfect day in the District, Meadows would hit some old haunts and, naturally, jam with a few friends. The first thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do is go to Little Red Fox, which is an awesome coffee shop on Connecticut Avenue, right by where I live. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get a breakfast burrito and an iced coffee, and then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make my way down to Bread Furst. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing bakery, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get some very unhealthy pastry.

After that, if I had the energy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d jog through Rock Creek Park and just marvel at the amazing beauty that we have right here in the heart of this city. It makes you feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outside of the city in, like, two minutes. Glenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden Market might be

If my dream location, Bohemian Caverns, were still open â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a venue that closed down a few years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I would have dinner and drinks there with Duke Ellington, who in my dream life is still very much alive and thriving. I would throw back a few with Duke, and get some wisdom on his career and life. Or, in the reality where Bohemian Caverns isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open, I might go to Sotto D.C., right off of 14th Street. I would listen to some live music from some of the best artists in D.C. and have some dinner, probably getting their beef ragu. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d head down to Marvin, which is another great venue right at 14th and U, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d listen to some more local talent. Once the music shuts down, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go upstairs to the second floor and hang out with friends at the rooftop bar. Then, if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still feeling up for it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go to Columbia Station on 18th Street. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to play with all of my friends: Rochelle Rice, Akua Allrich, Elijah Jamal Balbed, Brent Birckhead, Deacon Izzy, Deborah Bond, Micah Robinson, Danteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pope, Jack Kilby, Christie Dashiell. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all just be onstage together, jamming until 1 a.m. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be the dream. AS TOLD TO THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

Bishop’s Garden, on the grounds of Washington National Cathedral, is a tranquil spot for a picnic or a nap.

Park your picnic basket right here In the summer, the world is your table — and dining alfresco means spreading a blanket over the plush green grass and producing a buffet of delicacies from your charming wicker basket. (Or pulling premade sandwiches out of a plastic bag, and commandeering the best-shaded picnic table from those kids who just ran off to chase a Frisbee.) Here are six spots throughout the region where you can partake in picnic season. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Piscataway Park

Netherlands Carillon Park

National Arboretum

3400 Bryan Point Road, Accokeek, Md.; open daily, free.

North Meade Street, Arlington; open daily, free.

3501 New York Ave. NE; open daily, free.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, snorts and grunts led the way to the picnic area at Piscataway Park’s National Colonial Farm, home to dozens of rare breeds of livestock, such as Hog Island sheep. A handful of shaded picnic tables are arranged amid the fenced-in fields, offering the chance to dine in the company of massive pigs lolling in the mud, sheep, vocally talented roosters and even a few escaped piglets. In addition to the tables in the farm area, there are some next to the visitor center and by the ruins of Marshall Hall, a mid-1700s mansion. (Leave your alcohol at home and bring fully prepared food — this isn’t a grilling destination.)

If you like your turkey sandwich with a side of striking view, head to this sprawling park in Rosslyn that’s adjacent to the Marine Corps War Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The Netherlands Carillon — gifted to the United States by the Dutch in 1954 — stands 127 feet high and is adorned with 50 ringing bells. The grassy area that surrounds it offers a panoramic view of the city’s greatest hits: the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the curved top of the Jefferson Memorial. There aren’t any picnic tables at the park, so bring a nice blanket (and plan to carry out your trash).

There are a few designated picnic spots at the colorful, sprawling National Arboretum, a 446-acre property that feels like the District’s answer to Central Park. Head to the shaded tables that are just a short walk from the National Capitol Columns — wandering around is encouraged, but there’s a parking lot next to the picnic area for quick access, too. There are also a few tables behind the Arbor House, says Scott Aker, head of horticulture and education. Aker notes that guests can’t barbecue or bring alcohol, and there’s no way to reserve space in advance. After feasting, spread a blanket underneath, say, a pink dogwood tree for a post-lunch nap.

Fletcher’s Cove

Hillwood Estate

4940 Canal Road NW; open daily, free.

4155 Linnean Ave. NW; open Tuesdays-Sundays, suggested donation: $18 for adults.

You want to picnic, but you don’t want to prepare a picnic. Makeit-easy crowd, this one’s for you. While you’re welcome to bring your own food and (nonalcoholic) drinks, you can also borrow a blanket from the visitor center and take advantage of the on-site Merriweather Cafe’s to-go options. Same goes for the cafe’s selections of beer, wine and the particularly popular frosé, says Lynn Rossotti, director of marketing and visitor experience. Heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post bought Hillwood in 1955 and spent years renovating the mansion and grounds in a way she hoped people would enjoy for generations.

Bishop’s Garden 3101 Wisconsin Ave. NW; open daily, free.

Around 100 years ago, landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. designed the gardens that would light up the 59 acres surrounding Washington National Cathedral. The most rigorously cultivated is tranquil Bishop’s Garden. “It’s a really special, unique place, designed within the model of a medieval garden, so there are aspects that have been incorporated from some of the great cathedrals and estates of Europe,” says Carrie Tydings, a member of All Hallows Guild, the group responsible for maintaining the cathedral’s gardens and grounds. Tydings recommends exploring Bishop’s Garden’s nooks and crannies before setting up shop. “There are little tucked-away places where you can escape, if you want some R&R or time to clear your mind,” she says.

Hop off Canal Road onto a one-lane road that curves through an 1800s stone tunnel, underneath the C&O Canal. Roll down the windows and listen for the babbling brook. Emerge from the tunnel and you’ll find a secluded park along the Potomac River that feels like it’s all yours. There are a dozen picnic tables scattered across the riverbanks, mostly shaded by large, thick trees. There’s a charcoal grill at nearly every table, so you can cook on-site. Plan to spend the day: Fletcher’s Boathouse rents kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, rowboats and hydro bikes. And if you didn’t pack enough food, there’s a snack bar with simple fare.

Social media feeds illuminate the “Dear Evan Hansen” set behind star Ben Levi Ross, center.

It’s not easy being an Evan Hansen

Ben Levi Ross wrestles with the role as the show returns to D.C.

STAGE Ben Levi Ross wakes up most mornings saddled with an “emotional hangover,” an affliction he typically shakes through meditation and a good stretch. Physically, he recuperates with the help of a personal steamer, plus a soothing ginger and manuka honey beverage of his own making. Then, after a few hours of resting in solitude, the 21-yearold steps back onstage as the title character in “Dear Evan

Hansen,” taxing his mind and body with a 2½-hour binge of anxiety, panic, grief and guilt. “It has been really hard,” Ross says. “Your body doesn’t know the difference, in terms of the emotional turmoil you’re experiencing on a night-to-night basis. And your outlook on the world may be a little bit affected by the experience that you had the night before.” “Dear Evan Hansen,” the 2017 Tony winner for best musical, focuses on a high school senior

with a broken arm who’s yearning for connection. Since September, Ross has shed his upbeat persona night after night while introducing audiences to the troubled teen on the show’s North American tour. “He has this remarkable ability to step into this role and lose himself in the most beautiful and raw ways,” says Jessica Phillips, who plays Evan’s overworked single mother, Heidi. “He’s not thinking — he’s feeling.” The darkly comic musical

returns to D.C. on Tuesday for a monthlong stint at the Kennedy Center, having launched with a pre-Broadway run at Arena Stage in 2015. With a book by Steven Levenson (TV’s “Fosse/ Verdon”) and a pop-rock-infused score from Oscar winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (“La La Land”), “Dear Evan Hansen” follows Ross’ character as he gets tangled in a well-meaning lie following a classmate’s suicide. The show poses challenging moral questions and, with the help of towering screens that illuminate the set with social media feeds, taps into the sense of loneliness that can still permeate in an age of hyperconnectivity. Ross had just completed his freshman year at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh when, while auditioning for a different play, he caught the eye of “Dear Evan Hansen” director Michael Greif. Ross booked a

gig in the summer of 2017 as a Broadway understudy for three roles: Evan, plus the character’s classmates Jared and Connor. He spent the better part of a year waiting in the wings on Broadway, filling in sporadically, before stepping into the spotlight for the hit show’s first tour. The role of Evan, originated in a Tony-winning performance from Ben Platt, is famously grueling. The character carries imperfect posture and nervous ticks while rarely leaving the stage, stretching his voice on 11 of the show’s 14 full-length musical numbers. “When I heard Ben Platt talking about how hard the role was, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, I bet it’s hard, but does he really have to sit quietly every day alone leading up to the show?’ ” Ross says. “And the answer is yes, you do. There’s literally no way to get through the week if you’re living

weekendpass Ben Levi Ross was an understudy on Broadway before taking the title role on the road.

New to ‘Evan’? Start with these standout songs. Looking to do some homework before heading back to high school for “Dear Evan Hansen” at the Kennedy Center?

T.F. ‘Anybody Have a Map?’

your life like a normal person.” And while four actors have now played the role full time on Broadway, Ross notes that “no one had toured as Evan Hansen — that was my own personal battle to fight.” “His stamina has to be, I think, far beyond what any of the Evans did on Broadway,” Phillips says. “He has had to factor in the changing environments and the traveling and reestablishing a routine at every theater.” In an attempt to preserve his health, Ross decided early on that less is more, performance-wise. By toning down Evan’s restlessness, he saved energy while also developing his character into a more “fully real human being.” “I can definitely think back to things early on where I hate what I was doing,” Ross says. “I was leaving the stage every night and feeling completely wrecked from my head to my toes, in terms of all of the tension that I was carrying — I thought that’s who Evan was, I thought that’s how his anxiety was manifesting. That wasn’t sustainable, so I learned to just strip back.” Although Ross never dissected the script with the Evan actors before him, preferring to learn by observing their performances, he has spoken to one of them about the toll: his boyfriend, Taylor Trensch, who left the Broadway company in January

Jessica Phillips, right, plays Evan’s stressed-out single mom, Heidi.

The opening number introduces the central Hansen and Murphy families via a duet from their loving but exasperated matriarchs. It’s an up-tempo scene-setter that teases the theme of children becoming mysteries to their parents, and establishes the show’s musical aesthetic with a healthy dose of acoustic guitar, percussion and strings.

‘Waving Through a Window’

“There’s literally no way to get through the week if you’re living your life like a normal person.” BEN LEVI ROSS, on the realities of

playing the lead role in “Dear Evan Hansen” six times a week. “It has been really hard,” he adds.

after a year in the lead role. “He did say, the month after he finished the show, that he didn’t realize how much the darkness of the show was weighing down on him until he experienced life without it,” Ross says. Ross will soon experience that existence himself: Following the Kennedy Center run and a brief trip to Nashville,

he will say goodbye to Evan in mid-September. At that point, Ross will pass Evan’s arm cast and blue polo to Stephen Christopher Anthony, who currently performs matinees as the role’s alternate. Ross won’t miss the baggage that comes with unpacking Evan’s complexities six times a week, but he already finds himself lamenting the end of his journey with a show that changed his life. “As an artist, I have never been pushed to the limits that I’ve been pushed to over this past year, just physically and mentally,” Ross says. “I feel like it’s really prepared me to take on anything that comes my way after this.” THOMAS FLOYD (EXPRESS)

Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Tue. through Sept. 8, $79-$175.

Evan voices his search for belonging with this toe-tapping, heart-wrenching solo, as the orchestration crescendoes toward a striking climax. And the hook from songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul is earworm material: “On the outside, always lookin’ in/ Will I ever be more than I’ve always been?/ ‘Cause I’m tap, tap, tappin’ on the glass/ Waving through a window.” In addition to the Ben Platt original, you can find covers of the song by Katy Perry and Owl City.

Do not sleep on these quilts! EXHIBITS If you love traditional American quilts for their simplicity, usefulness and thrift, you are going to hate the National Museum of American History exhibit “Everyday Luxury: Silk Quilts From the National Collection,” which opened Tuesday. The nine 19thcentury quilts on display are not your classic, staid bedspreads made of scraps. Rather, they are exuberant works of art, crafted with flair using the finest fabric available at the time: silk. “These were display pieces. They weren’t meant to be slept on,” says exhibit curator Madelyn Shaw. “These were statements

of taste and status, because you had to be able to afford the materials and also have the leisure time to quilt.” Many of the quilts on display are so-called crazy quilts, which feature asymmetrical patchwork embellished with embroidery, beading and other techniques. Quilting was a rare opportunity for creative expression among Victorian housewives, Shaw says. Women could work on them in stolen moments between their other household duties and also while making social calls. “It was believed that women shouldn’t have idle hands,” Shaw says. “You were supposed to work

while you talked.” The crazy-quilt craze was sparked by two main factors, she says: One was the sudden availability of relatively affordable silk cloth, due to the rise of the American silk-weaving industry. The other was a nationwide fascination with Asian art, including pottery with a cracked or “crazed” glaze. The term “crazed” was also used to describe the cracked-glass pattern of crazy quilts. So while they are wild, these crazy quilts aren’t bonkers. “It’s a visual feast,” Shaw says. “All these pieces are really gorgeous.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) National Museum of American History, 1400 Constitution Ave. NW; through January, free.

The crazy quilt of a lifetime When Aimee Elkington Hodge began this quilt in 1877, at the age of 12, the crazy-quilt fad was just beginning to take off. She worked on the 67-by67-inch piece throughout her life, and only got around to putting the squares together right before her death in 1946. Not much is known about Hodge besides the facts that she was born in Ohio, moved to Florida and married twice, but we can piece together information about her taste, talent and time through this very personal work of art, says National Museum of American History textiles curator Madelyn Shaw. S.D.

Fan of her work

This Japanese-style fan on American flag colors represents stateside fascination with Asian art during Hodge’s lifetime.

Needing stitches

A fancy take on the traditional crossstitch, this challenging embroidery isn’t just decorative — it also holds the pieces of fabric together.

Plush life

These flowers show Hodge’s mastery of plushwork, a technique where loops of silk thread are sewn and cut to create a bushy finish.

Brush with success

Hodge hand-painted the daisy, poppy and wheat on a bit of silk ribbon. “She was a woman of many talents,” Shaw says.

Sunflower power

These simple sunflowers are characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement, which challenged ornate Victorian aesthetics. Hodge, clearly a maximalist, incorporated both styles in her visually busy quilt.

The initial piece

The young Hodge started her quilt by embroidering her initials on a piece of silk ribbon. There’s nothing childish about these sure-handed stitches, Shaw says. “If you were a girl in the late 19th century and you were from the middle class and above, you learn to sew when you were 6. So by the time you were 12, you were accomplished,” Shaw says.

‘Years and Years’ — a moving family drama with a dystopian slant

Broadway icon Harold Prince dies at age 91

HBO

TELEVISION As our planet cooks, so do our TV shows about social upheaval, modern ruin and other dystopian nightmares. Zombies beget handmaids, making for some gripping end-of-everything depictions of doom, if you can stand the stress of watching. None, however, hurts as deeply as creator Russell T Davies’ eerily plausible “Years and Years,” a six-episode British drama that concluded Monday on HBO. Sorely underwatched (between 250,000 and 300,000 cable viewers stuck with it each week, not counting those who streamed it), “Years and Years” is about the Lyons family from Manchester: a relatively happy brood of adult siblings and their stalwart nonagenarian grandmother, Muriel (Anne Reid), who each endure a range of emotional setbacks and collateral damage as Britain succumbs to a populist wave. All of this doesn’t happen overnight — the episodes begin in 2019 and end in 2032. The Lyonses, who keep in touch via group calls on their Alexa-like personal assistants (dubbed “Signor”), are at first merely befuddled by the rise of Vivienne Rook (Emma Thompson), an entrepreneur turned politician who is celebrated for her brash and even profanely nationalistic and xenophobic opinions. The Lyonses are a wired,

The Lyonses would rather stare at a screen than enjoy a meal together — just like most families nowadays.

well-informed family of citizen/ consumers with mostly moderate to left-leaning views. They nevertheless get incrementally swept up in the insidious revolution of Rook’s Four Star Party and her rise to prime minister, replete with a swastika-esque logo. One of the ingenious aspects of “Years and Years” is how it taps into today’s alarming lack of expected consequences, particularly where political leadership is involved. Davies turns our everyday anxieties into a telescoped haiku poem of galling new realities, where outrages tend to pile up instead of leading to retribution. The show is unsparing in its message that we all share blame

for the state of the world. As the situation worsens, Muriel reminds her grandchildren and great-grandchildren that they all took part in the global economy that brought them, for example, that nice T-shirt that only cost a pound, disregarding the environmental resources and human labor it cost to make. “We can sit here all day blaming other people,” Muriel says. “It’s our fault. This is the world we built. Congratulations.” The show is not without faults, as Davies stumbled greatly with Monday’s series finale. But “Years and Years” is still one of the best shows of 2019 so far — worth going back and experiencing it in your own way.

While remaining a deeply absorbing family story, as good or better than any season of “This Is Us,” “Years and Years” is depressing on top of depressing, which may explain why so many viewers took a pass. It’s hard enough to cope with the daily news cycle we have in 2019, much less imagine how much worse it could get. HBO also erred slightly with an ad campaign that made “Years and Years” seem darkly comedic, perhaps about a family that’s embarrassed to be associated with Thompson’s slimy politician character. It turned out so much better, and more affecting, than that. HANK STUEVER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

verbatim

“I am in no way rebellious. I am in no way contrarian. I just want people to like me.” KRISTEN STEWART, in an interview with Vanity Fair. “I used to be really frustrated that because I didn’t leap willingly

into being at the center of a certain amount of attention, that it seemed like I was an a--hole,” the actor said.

1928-2019 Harold Prince, a Broadway director and producer who pushed the boundaries of musical theater with such groundbreaking shows as “The Phantom of the Opera,” ‘’Cabaret,” “Company” and “Sweeney Todd” and won a staggering 21 Tony Awards, has died. Prince was 91. His publicist said Prince died Wednesday after a brief illness in Reykjavik, Iceland. Prince was unpredictable and uncompromising in his choice of stage material. He helped create some of Broadway’s most enduring musical hits, first as a producer of such shows as “The Pajama Game,” “Damn Yankees,” “West Side Story,” ‘’A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” He later became a director, overseeing such landmark musicals as “Cabaret,” “Company,” “Follies,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Evita” and “The Phantom of the Opera.” He received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1994. “All of modern musical theater owes practically everything to him,” Andrew Lloyd Webber said. Prince also worked with composers and lyricists including Leonard Bernstein, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, John Kander and Fred Ebb, and, most notably, Stephen Sondheim. “I don’t do a lot of analyzing of why I do something,” Prince once said. “It’s all instinct.” MARK KENNEDY (AP)

@RAQUELWILLIS_, blasting Mario Lopez

for comments he made in June on rightwing commentator Candace Owen’s YouTube show. Lopez said it was “dangerous” for parents to encourage their children to explore gender identity. Lopez and Owen maintained that younger children don’t have the “mental authority” to make such decisions. The LGBTQ community was outraged by Lopez’s comments, citing his history as an ally. Lopez apologized for his comments Wednesday.

“I don’t think I’ve ever rooted so hard for two people to be together so damn bad in my life.” @CARTERSULLY, tweeting about the ending to Tuesday

night’s finale of “The Bachelorette.” Viewers watched Hannah Brown, left, dump fan-favorite Tyler Cameron, right, and become engaged to Jed Wyatt. Cameras then cut to a few weeks after the proposal, as Brown learned through a June People magazine article that Wyatt had a girlfriend up until the day he left to film “The Bachelorette.” On the live after-show, Brown confirmed she’d ended her engagement. Cameron was then brought out and Brown admitted she still had feelings for him and asked if he’d like to get a drink and possibly start over. “I would love to,” Cameron responded.

“I can’t believe you wrote ‘YOU DON’T HAVE TO YELL’ in all caps.” @RJCITY1, joking about presidential candidate Rep. Tim Ryan’s new bumper sticker. After the Ohio Democrat clashed with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., over cars and fossil fuels during Tuesday night’s Democratic debate, Ryan told Sanders, “You don’t have to yell.” Ryan announced the stickers Wednesday with a tweet that read, “If we truly care about lifting up every voice ... let’s start by making our conversations civil and productive.” Twitter users roasted Ryan’s stickers and urged him to drop out of the race.

“LeBron is clearly being the father he wished he had and his son, along with his son’s teammates, obviously love it.” @GETNICKWRIGHT, defending the L.A. Lakers forward against criticism that his celebrations were too excessive during his son’s youth league basketball tournament in Las Vegas over the weekend. Videos show James running onto the court after a few dunks by his son, LeBron James Jr., and his teammates. Many Twitter users expressed that while they didn’t think his proud dunk celebrations were too much, they did think James joining the team’s warmup to execute a few dunks of his own appeared slightly attention-seeking.
