German city’s ongoing existential crisis finally comes to a head

Sure, he’s a little young to drive, but at least he knows his limits
A German city that’s the subject of a long-running lighthearted conspiracy theory that it doesn’t exist is offering big bucks for proof. Officials in Bielefeld said Wednesday they’ll give $1.1 million to whoever proves its nonexistence. There are “no limits to creativity,” but only incontrovertible evidence will do. Even Chancellor Angela Merkel once jokingly cast doubt on the existence of Bielefeld, which is allegedly located 205 miles west of Berlin. (AP)
A young girl discovered something slithery at a New Jersey airport security checkpoint: a 15-inch snake. TSA officials at Newark airport said it appears the thin, black snake with a yellow ring around its neck was forgotten by a traveler Monday night. The girl alerted an officer, and a gray checkpoint bin was placed over the snake, which was harmless. Officials temporarily closed the security lane and Port Authority police took the snake away.

Soest police said the boy’s mother called early Wednesday after she noticed her son and her VW Golf had disappeared. They eventually found the boy at a highway service area where he’d parked the car and turned on the hazard lights. According to police, the boy said he started feeling “uncomfortable” once he hit 87 mph on the highway. (AP)

Give back for back to school As summer comes to an end and students across the D.C. area head back to school this month, local nonprofits are working to make sure every student is equipped with the backpacks, notebooks and pencils that they need for a successful year. These four local organizations — A Wider Circle, Horton’s Kids, So Others Might Eat and Everyone Home DC — help meet that need for low-income students. Here’s how you can help.

Horton’s Kids
So Others Might Eat
Everyone Home DC
A Wider Circle’s annual school drive is currently underway, and founder Mark Bergel says backpacks are one of the most needed items. However, Bergel asks donors to be mindful of all age groups when picking out backpacks, especially high school students. “A nice backpack can give someone more of a hop in their step,” Bergel says. “So ... we like to have a wide range of ageappropriate supplies.”
The traditional school supply drive for Horton’s Kids has ended, but Billy Fettweis, the organization’s development director, says kids need other types of resources, too. Horton’s Kids provides children who come to the organization with items that may not look like traditional school supplies — such as Visa gift cards to help parents purchase school uniforms, and toiletries to help kids feel fresh and ready for school. “We never turn away a child,” Fettweis says.
So Others Might Eat helps the 370 students living in its affordable housing for families get ready for the school year through a fundraiser on its website, some.org. The donations help families purchase uniforms and backpacks. SOME has raised more than $16,500, close to its $18,500 goal. Kate Wiley, director of marketing and communications, says the organization is also always looking for new notebooks, pencils and calculators as the school year progresses.

Drop-off: 71 O St. NW on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on weekends from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Everyone Home DC knows how important a sturdy backpack can be. “I’m a mom myself,” says Kate Akalonu, director of strategic initiatives. “If the backpacks aren’t decent quality, they won’t last through the year.” The organization, which works with families experiencing homelessness, asks that backpacks are filled with items off the D.C. Public Schools supply list, including notebooks, crayons and disinfectant wipes. The organization accepts donations throughout the year, too.

D.C.’s Metro rep scrutinized Resignation calls grow for member accused of shielding Evans
The co-owner of the popular D.C. concert venues 9:30 Club and The Anthem was arrested Wednesday on charges of soliciting prostitution from a licensed massage therapist at her place of business, according to Montgomery County police.

POLITICS Pressure is mounting on the District’s second voting Metro board representative to resign after allegations that he leaned on the agency’s staff and took other steps to conceal an ethics violation by D.C. Council member and former board member Jack Evans, D-Ward 2. Corbett Price, a health care executive and political donor to Mayor Muriel Bowser, D, was appointed by Bowser to one of two principal spots representing the District on the powerful regional transit board. The second was occupied until recently by Evans, who stepped down as board chairman in June. Evans’ resignation followed an agency investigation that found that he failed to disclose a conflict of interest arising from his private consulting work for the District’s largest parking company. Records of the probe obtained by The Washington Post last week show that both Evans and Price — in addition to falsely stating that Evans was cleared of wrongdoing — badgered Metro’s general counsel and maneuvered in other ways to prevent the findings from becoming public. Those allegations may have been a tipping point for some council members.

“It’s beyond unprofessional and improper. I think it’s disgraceful,” said council member Mary M. Cheh, D-Ward 3, who chairs the committee on transportation and the environment. “There’s one thing I really dislike, and that’s a person who’s a bully to staff and to people below them. I think that’s cowardly.” Cheh, who voted against removing Price from the board in July, said she is now convinced he should step down, and that she may reintroduce a resolution to force him off the board in September, when the council returns. Cheh said there is “growing disquiet” among council

Hate crimes rise but prosecutions drop D.C.’s bias incident rate surpasses other cities’, but charges are rare THE DISTRICT Hate crimes are surging across the country, with racist slurs on schools and houses of worship, assaults on gay and transgender people, and white gunmen targeting Jews and Latinos. In D.C., the number of attacks investigated by police as biasmotivated reached an all-time high of 204 last year. D.C. had the highest per capita hate crime
rate of any major city in the country, according to Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University at San Bernardino. Yet hate crime prosecutions in the nation’s capital have plummeted, even as the number of arrests on those charges has soared. Last year, police made arrests in a record 59 hate crime cases involving adults. But the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, which handles most criminal cases in D.C., prosecuted only three as hate crimes,
and one was quickly dropped. Of the 178 suspected hate crimes in 2017, police closed 54 cases involving adults by arrest. Prosecutors charged two cases as hate crimes, and both were later dropped as part of plea deals. The Post’s months-long analysis of more than 200,000 D.C. police and court records found that hate crime prosecutions and convictions are at their lowest point in at least a decade. Jessie Liu, the U.S. attorney for the District, took office two years ago promising that “as a woman of color” she took hate crimes

Staffers knew, ignored directive on Epstein
REPLACING THE RIAL?
Iran revamps currency hit by sanctions
NATIONAL SECURITY At least eight Bureau of Prisons staffers knew that strict instructions had been given not to leave multimillionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein alone in his cell, yet the order was apparently ignored in the 24 hours leading up to his death, according to people familiar with the matter. The fact that so many prison officials were aware of the directive — not just low-level correctional officers, but supervisors and managers — has alarmed investigators assessing what so far appears to be a stunning failure to follow instructions, these people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing investigations. They did not identify the eight. Investigators suspect that at least some of these individuals also knew Epstein had been left alone in a cell before he died, and they are working to determine the extent of such knowledge, these people said, cautioning that the disregard for the instruction does not necessarily mean there was criminal conduct. The explanation, they said, could be simpler and sadder — bureaucratic incompetence spanning multiple individuals and ranks within the organization. T he Bu r e au of P r i s o n s

Investigators alarmed by scope of the failure to follow instructions
Financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead Aug. 10 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, above. He was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Epstein’s will and trust Estate lawyers and other experts say the will that Jeffrey Epstein signed just two days before his jailhouse suicide could make it more difficult for his accusers to collect damages. By putting more than $577 million in assets into a trust, Epstein shrouded the identities of the beneficiaries from public view. “This is the last act of Epstein’s manipulation of the system,” said attorney Jennifer Freeman. (AP)
declined to comment. Epstein, 66, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City during the early morning of Aug. 10. He had been held at the facility for more than a month
on sex trafficking charges. He had pleaded not guilty, and the case was due to go to trial next year. Epstein N e w Yo r k ’s medical examiner ruled the death a suicide, but Epstein’s lawyers have not accepted the finding. The circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death are being investigated by the FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general. Speaking Wednesday at an unrelated event in Dallas, Attorney General William Barr said that the investigation is “well along,” adding, “I think I’ll soon be in a position to report to Congress and the public.” DEVLIN BARRETT
Iran’s president sent a bill to parliament Wednesday that would cut four zeroes from the value of the Islamic Republic’s sanctionsbattered currency, the rial, as tensions remain high between Tehran and Washington. By sending the bill to lawmakers, President Hassan Rouhani’s government shows it is serious about an idea mulled for some time in Iran, where people discuss monetary transactions in both rials and — informally but more commonly — in tomans. A toman is worth 10 rials. If the bill is approved by lawmakers, Iran’s Central Bank would in effect devalue the rial and rename it the toman. (AP)

Rebuffed Trump lashes out
Trump quotes host calling him ‘King of Israel’
relations between Copenhagen and Washington “are not in any crisis in my opinion” despite Trump’s canceled plans. Others in Denmark were not as gracious. Martin Lidegaard, a former Danish foreign minister, told broadcaster TV2 that it was “a diplomatic farce” and Trump’s behavior was “grotesque.” Trump’s cancellation was “deeply insulting to the people of Greenland and Denmark,” former Prime Minister Helle ThorningSchmidt wrote on Twitter. Ordinary Danes shook their heads at the news, with many calling Trump immature. “He thinks he can just buy Greenland. He acts like an elephant in a china shop,” said Pernille Iversen, a 41-year-old shopkeeper in Copenhagen. JAN M. OLSEN
POLITICS President Trump went on Twitter on Wednesday to quote a conservative radio host and known conspiracy theorist who praised him as “the greatest President for Jews” and claimed that Israelis “love him like he is the second coming of God.” In his tweets, Trump thanked Wayne Allyn Root for “the very nice words.” Root has been leading an effort to persuade Jews to leave the Democratic Party and support Trump, whom he has previously called the first Jewish president in the same sense the Bill Clinton was sometimes called the first black president. Trump’s tweets quoting Root came a day after Trump prompted an outcry by contending that Jewish people who vote for Democrats are showing “either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.” In his Wednesday morning tweets, Trump quoted Root saying, “President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world . . . and the Jewish people in Israel love him like he’s the King of Israel.” “They love him like he is the second coming of God,” Trump quoted Root as saying. Jews do not believe in a second coming. In his own words, Trump added: “Wow!” JOHN WAGNER

(THE WASHINGTON POST)
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK Escalating an international spat, President Trump said Wednesday he scrapped his trip to Denmark because the prime minister made a “nasty” statement when she rejected his idea to buy Greenland as an absurdity. “You don’t talk to the United States that way, at least under me,” Trump told reporters in Washington. “I thought it was not a nice statement, the way she blew me off.” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the whole thing “an absurd discussion” and said she was “disappointed and surprised” that Trump had canceled his visit. Trump said Frederiksen’s comment labeling his idea as absurd “was nasty. I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to say was say, ‘No, we wouldn’t be interested.’ ” Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of the U.S. ally, and Frederiksen said the U.S. remains one of Denmark’s close allies. The political brouhaha over the world’s largest island comes from its strategic location in the Arctic. Global warming is making Greenland more accessible to potential oil and mineral resources. Russia, China, the U.S., Canada and other countries are racing to stake as strong a claim as they can to Arctic lands, hoping they will yield future riches.
Trump was scheduled to visit Denmark on Sept. 2-3 as part of a European tour. But late Tuesday afternoon, he tweeted his decision to indefinitely postpone the trip. The move stunned Danes and blindsided the Danish royal palace. Spokeswoman Lene Balleby told The Associated Press that it came as “a surprise” to the royal household, which had formally invited Trump. “Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time,” Trump said. The vast island of Greenland sits between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and has a population of 56,000. Some 80% of its land mass is covered by an ice sheet of 660,000 square miles. For all of Greenland’s appeal, scientists consider it the canary in the coal mine for climate change and say its massive ice sheet has seen one of its biggest melts on record this summer, contributing to a global rise in sea levels. Frederiksen said she is standing behind the government of Greenland. “A discussion about a potential sale of Greenland has been put

Rule may prolong detentions Trump moves to end legal limits on keeping immigrant children held
French tourists face jail in Italy over sand theft
The Trump administration is moving to end an agreement that limits how long migrant children can be kept in detention.
Trump defended the decision, saying: “I’m the one that kept the families together.” But immigrant advocates decried it, and said prolonged detention would traumatize immigrant children. “The government should not be jailing kids, and certainly shouldn’t be seeking to put more kids in jail for longer,” said Madhuri Grewal, policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. Peter Schey, a lawyer for the immigrant children in the Flores case and president of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law, said if the regulations don’t match the settlement in that case, “they would be in immediate material breach, if not contempt of court.”
ERIC GAY (AP)
IMMIGRATION The Trump administration is moving to end a federal agreement that limits how long migrant children can be kept in detention. A court fight will almost certainly follow over the government’s desire to hold migrant families until their cases are decided. The current settlement overseen by the federal courts now requires the government to keep children in the least restrictive setting and to release them as quickly as possible, generally after 20 days in detention. Homeland Security officials say they are adopting their own regulations that reflect the “Flores agreement,” which has been in effect since 1997, and that there is no longer a need for court involvement, which was only meant to be temporary. But the new rules would allow the government to hold families in detention much longer than 20 days. It is the latest effort by the administration to tighten immigration, President Trump’s signature issue, and is aimed at restricting the movement of asylum seekers in the country and deterring more migrants from crossing the border. The news immediately generated fresh outrage, following reports of dire conditions in detention facilities, and it is questionable whether courts will let the administration move forward with the policy.
Migrant family influx There has been a drastic increase in the number of families crossing the border — about 475,000 so far this budget year, nearly three times the previous full-year record for families. Most are released into the U.S. while their asylum requests wind through the courts — a practice Trump has derided as “catch and release.” (AP)
“I think all these things are now part of the 2020 campaign,” Schey said. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Wednesday the regulations create higher standards to govern family detention facilities. The regulations are expected
to be formally published Friday and go into effect in 60 days, absent legal challenges. The Flores agreement has been in effect since 1997 but mostly was applied to children who came to the country alone. In 2015, U.S. District Court Judge Dolly Gee ruled the requirements were applicable to children who crossed the border with families, after the Obama administration built family detention centers and started detaining families until their cases were completed. Homeland Security did not say how long it expects families to be kept, but McAleenan said under the previous administration it was about 50 days. COLLEEN LONG AND AMY TAXIN (AP)

According to local media, two French tourists were charged last week with stealing nearly 90 pounds of sand from Chia beach, on the southern coast of Sardinia. The visitors reportedly filled 14 bottles with sand and tried to drive onto a Francebound ferry in Porto Torres when they were discovered by Italy’s Guardia di Finanza. The Corriere Della Sera newspaper said the tourists claimed they were just trying to take back a vacation souvenir and didn’t realize they were breaking a law on the Mediterranean island. They face one to six years in prison, media reports said. A law that went into effect in August 2017 made it illegal to take sand, pebbles or seashells from Sardinian beaches, the BBC reported at the time, noting that some of the sand was being sold on eBay. Offenders could face incarceration or fines of up to 3,000 euros, or $3,330 at today’s exchange rate. Last year, authorities slapped a tourist visiting from the United Kingdom with a fine of more than 1,000 euros for taking sand. While the French tourists apparently said they were not aware of the rule against taking sand, The Guardian said signs warn that it is forbidden and that “vigilantes” keep watch at beaches.

CBO: Deficit to top $1 trillion Nonpartisan analysis is the first to account for recent budget deal ECONOMY The federal budget deficit is expected to balloon to more than $1 trillion in the next fiscal year under the first projections taking into account the big budget deal that President Trump and Congress reached this summer, the Congressional Budget Office reported Wednesday. The return of $1 trillion annual deficits comes despite Trump’s vow when running for office that he would not just balance the budget but pay down the entire national debt. “The nation’s fiscal outlook is
challenging,” said Phillip Swagel, director of the nonpartisan CBO. “Federal debt, which is already high by historical standards, is on an unsustainable course.” The office upped this year’s deficit projection by $63 billion and the cumulative deficit projection for the next decade by $809 billion. The higher deficit projections come even as the CBO reduced its estimate for interest rates, which lowers borrowing costs, and as it raised projections for economic growth in the near term. The number crunchers at CBO projected that the deficit for the current fiscal year will come to $960 billion. In the next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, it will exceed $1 trillion.
“The recent budget deal was a budget buster, and now we have further proof.” MAYA MacGUINEAS, president
of the private Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, saying lawmakers should ensure the legislation they enact is paid for
The CBO said the budget deal signed into law earlier this month, which took away the prospect of a government shutdown in October and the threat of deep automatic spending cuts, would boost deficits by $1.7 trillion over
the coming decade. Increased spending on disaster relief and border security would add $255 billion. Downward revisions to the forecast for interest rates will help the picture, trimming $1.4 trillion. Swagel said the federal debt will rise even higher after the coming decade because of the nation’s aging population and higher spending on health care. To put the country on sustainable footing, Swagel said, lawmakers will have to increase taxes, cut spending or combine the two approaches. The CBO’s estimate is the first to reflect the hard-won budget and debt deal signed into law earlier this month.

POLITICS The student activists who crashed the political arena after the mass shooting last year at their high school in Parkland, Fla., are throwing their weight behind a new and ambitious gun control program they hope will set the tone for the debate following the most recent mass shootings and heading into the 2020 elections. The students are speaking out for the first time since 31 people were killed in one weekend in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. They hope their plan — unveiled Wednesday — will be considered by President Trump as well as his Democratic presidential rivals and will serve as a catalyst for a surge of youth voters next year. “Political parties believe they have all this power, but in reality the power in the U.S. resides in the culture and what we choose to prioritize,” said 19-year-old David Hogg, above, a co-founder of March for Our Lives and a survivor of the shooting in February 2018 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The plan would create a national licensing and gun registry, long a nonstarter with gun rights advocates; ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines; implement a mandatory gun buyback program; and install a “national director of gun violence prevention,” who would coordinate the response to what advocates call a national public health emergency.

REDSKINS INJURIES
Moreau, Quinn won’t play tonight
RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
Time to make some calls Redskins coach Jay Gruden leaves things loose until he is forced to make decisions. Well, it’s about that time as Washington plays the Falcons tonight (7:30, NBC-4). The second-to-last preseason game is a bit of a dress rehearsal, and starters will play the first half or more while several positions remain uncertain. Tonight’s questions are the same ones that have lingered since training camp began. The team’s overall depth has greatly improved, but will left tackle
Case Keenum
Geron Christian
Ereck Flowers
Ryan Anderson
Quarterback
Left tackle
Left guard
Outside linebacker
Receivers
It’s Case Keenum. Come on, we’ve all known since OTAs that Keenum would be the starter come September, while rookie Dwayne Haskins probably would take over near midseason. And Colt McCoy? He never recovered well enough from offseason surgeries to have a chance. But if Haskins lights up the scoreboard and Keenum stinks against Atlanta, would Gruden face pressure to start the rookie with a hot hand and scrap the plan to have Keenum be an interim starter? Perhaps, but for now, count on Keenum to be under center for the opener Sept. 8 at Philadelphia.
This game could be the tiebreaker between Geron Christian and Donald Penn. It’s Christian’s job to lose, and a bad outing against the Falcons probably makes Penn the Week 1 starter. Christian has greatly improved after a disappointing rookie season. His speed and agility are better, but there are plays when defenders just whiz by him, and the Redskins can’t afford to lose quarterbacks to blindside hits. Penn, 36, offers veteran stability, but is slower than Christian and less able to deliver downfield blocks. Youth gets first call, but not a lengthy leash. Oh, Trent Williams, come home soon!
Ereck Flowers has found a home at guard after repeatedly looking lost at left tackle. The free agent signee was a 2015 first-round bust with the Giants as a left tackle. The Redskins signed Flowers as a left guard, but needed to try him at tackle when Trent Williams didn’t report. It went badly. Flowers looks much better at guard, where his lack of lateral speed isn’t such a big deal. He’s even looking good when pulling for downfield blocks. But rookie Wes Martin was impressive in his early stint with the Redskins’ first-teamers and is the left guard of the future. Is the future now?
The Redskins will certainly rotate veteran Ryan Anderson and rookie Montez Sweat at one of the outside linebacker spots, but who plays first might be decided tonight. The Redskins know Sweat can be awesome. His speed and size are shockingly good, but the first-round draft pick needs some reps. That lets Anderson, a 2017 second-rounder, continue his redemption tour after two lackluster seasons. Anderson is a better run stopper and Sweat is a potentially elite pass rusher, so down and distance may dictate who’s in. But nobody likes to see a first-rounder sitting on the bench.
Injuries have kept the unit from working together. Slot receiver Trey Quinn remains out with a sprained thumb, giving Steven Sims a puncher’s chance to make the team as a reserve if he outplays Darvin Kidsy. Sims screams across the field while Kidsy makes tough catches. Maybe the Redskins will keep both and cut Josh Doctson if Cam Sims plays well against Atlanta. Rookie Terry McLaurin makes his preseason debut tonight after an injury; Paul Richardson Jr. is a question mark. Kelvin Harmon’s solid preseason gives him a chance to start over McLaurin and Richardson. The unit’s deep, but needs a breakout star.

WASHINGTON POST, AP AND GETTY IMAGES
Trent Williams’ ongoing holdout create a domino effect that damages the offense? Here are five positions to watch.
The Redskins will be without CB Fabian Moreau (ankle) and slot receiver Trey Quinn (thumb) at Atlanta tonight, and running back Derrius Guice’s availability was uncertain. Moreau didn’t practice this week, which likely means more playing time for Greg Stroman and Jimmy Moreland. Guice, below, has not been medically cleared following last year’s ACL injury, but coach Jay Gruden said he’s “pretty confident that he has a chance to go.” Gruden didn’t rule out playing Guice in the final preseason game Aug. 29 if he can’t play tonight. “It’s important for him to get a couple carries, just get the feel of getting tackled again,” Gruden said. Tight end Jordan Reed will be a game-time decision, and receiver Paul Richardson Jr. “probably” won’t play, Gruden said. (TWP)

Terps look for OL depth
WALKING IT BACK
Mayfield tries to clear the air with Giants QB
MARYLAND When Maryland’s offense trots onto the field for the first snap of the Michael Locksley era, five linemen will begin a season-long marathon that will test their fortitude. How well can they protect the quarterback, and to what extent will they allow the talented running backs to shine? Jaelyn Duncan, a redshirt freshman from Owings Mills, Md., will settle into his spot at left tackle, tasked with fending off top defenses during his team’s gantlet of a Big Ten East slate. Yet he has never played a college game. So throughout preseason camp, Duncan said, his inexperience “challenged me to push myself a lot more because I know that I’m stepping up to a big role.” The offensive line Locksley will call upon when the season opens Aug. 31 against Howard combines youth such as Duncan’s with a few established starters. But the greater concern lies not in this crew but in the players standing behind it on the depth chart, waiting for the inevitable need to plug holes if injuries or other circumstances keep first-string players off the field. Heading into the season, Locksley said, his team has seven offensive linemen who “we feel really good about,

that we can count on. “We’ve got to obviously have at least 10 to be able to have a two-deep throughout the season,” Locksley said, “which means some of these young guys are going to have to be forced into development.” To begin the year, Maryland will presumably rely on two starters from last year, left guard Sean Christie and right guard Terrance Davis. Center Johnny Jordan also received significant playing time in 2018. The two tackles, Duncan and Marcus Minor, have far less game experience. “We’ve got a lot of guys that

can play multiple positions,” Jordan said. “We’re just building depth, rotating guys in at different spots, getting a lot of guys reps that haven’t gotten reps in the past and seeing what they’ve got against our really good defense.” Christie, a sixth-year senior, has played in nearly every game the past three years and can pass along beneficial expertise to Duncan. On the right, Davis and Minor, former high school teammates at DeMatha, team up, and Jordan said there is obvious chemistry between those two.

Carli Lloyd drills 55-yard FG after Eagles’ practice FOOTBALL As far as Carli Lloyd was concerned, she was on just another field, doing what she does best. The difference Tuesday was that she was on an NFL field when she pulled back her right leg and sent a ball straight and true for 55 yards, stirring up all sorts of buzz with a viral video. Lloyd, a two-time World Cup winner, twice an Olympic gold medalist and twice FIFA Player of the Year, made football look as easy as futbol while the Ravens’ Sam Koch held for her field goal attempt after a joint practice with the Eagles at the NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia. Her kick was money. So much so that it got one veteran NFL observer musing about whether the time was approaching when a woman might kick in the NFL. “Honestly, I don’t think it will be long before we see a woman break through this NFL barrier,” Gil Brandt, the Cowboys’ vice president of player personnel from 1960 to 1988, tweeted. Lloyd, the 37-year-old who plays for the NWSL’s Sky Blue franchise in New Jersey, wasn’t facing pressure from defenders and was taking too many approach steps. All of which was pointed out to Brandt, who countered, “I heard the same kind of things when I was bringing in track athletes and soccer players back in the ’60s.” “I’d give her an honest tryout,” he added on Twitter, “if I were, say, the Bears.” CINDY BOREN (TWP)

The killer roles of ‘Assassins’
Finding empathy for one’s character is a fundamental step in the acting process. But for the cast of the musical “Assassins,” that step is more like a leap of faith. A comedic, nonlinear fantasia about nine people who tried to kill U.S. presidents — four of them successfully — “Assassins” imagines a reality in which these villains of history not only cross paths but even push one another to commit their unspeakable deeds, which are depicted with varying degrees of artistic license. Featuring music and lyrics by legendary composer Stephen Sondheim and a book by John Weidman, the subversive show premiered off-Broadway in 1990, then won five Tonys for its 2004 Broadway revival. Last week, an Eric Schaeffer-helmed production of “Assassins” kicked off at Signature Theatre. So how do the actors go about understanding such notorious real-life figures? “Everybody wants to be seen, and I think that’s something that’s uber-relatable,” actor Tracy Lynn Olivera says. “We all just want to be noticed and heard, and for better and for worse — mostly worse — all of these people just wanted somebody to listen to them.” As the time-hopping characters bond over drinks, drugs and disdain, “Assassins” explores the motivations that pushed each one to the edge. Here’s a look at five of the show’s infamous characters and how the actors portraying them tapped into their troubled minds.

Kempsk i came into “Assassins” k nowi ng the broad strokes of Booth’s story — Ford’s Theatre, “sic semper tyrannis” and so on. As Kempski further explored the bitter actor and Southern sympathizer who murdered Abraham Lincoln in 1865, he found more nuance than his high school history books had let on. “Booth was surprisingly a family man,” Kempski says. “He was really loyal to his friends. He was like a prankster — everyone loved him. A lot of people really didn’t believe that he did it. They couldn’t fathom it.” Unearthing that humanity helped Kempski better understand Booth, whose distress over the Civil War’s death toll — illustrated in the show via “The Ballad of Booth” — gives the character an emotional core. “He was doing it for the betterment of the country, but he had a personal stake in it,” Kempski says. “I think he was incredibly driven because of loss in his life. Yeah, he was on the wrong side of history. But to him, it wasn’t that. … I try to approach it as feeling justified that Booth was doing what was right, at least in his mind.”
If Booth forever etched his name into the American consciousness, it’s with a fitting sense of irony that the needy writer Guiteau — the man who fatally shot James Garfield at a D.C. train station in 1881 — has seemingly seen his legacy erased. “I don’t think anybody knows who Charles Guiteau is, which is great, and I didn’t either,” Smith says. “I went down the rabbit hole, whether it was helpful or not.” The first thi ng Smith learned: “He couldn’t get laid.” In fact, Guiteau had so little luck during his five-plus years living at the Oneida Community, a New York religious commune that practiced group marriage, that the women there nicknamed him “Charles Git-out.” While Smith says he first honors the script, having a broader understanding of Guiteau’s eccentric persona helps him deliver a more grounded performance. “ ‘Crazy’ is such a strange buzzword these days, and you can’t play that as an objective anyway,” Smith says. “The idea of the authenticity, of what you get from reading about [the real-life person], marries into the text. It’s fun. It’s hard, but fun.”
Zangara has a uniquely tragic backstory: The 5 -foot-1 Italian immigrant suffered from chronic abdominal pains, which he said started when his father forced him into manual labor as a child. In 1933, Zangara channeled his misery into a frenzied attempt to shoot then-President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt — but instead struck five bystanders, including Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, who died a few weeks later. “I have not experienced searing fire in my stomach from the age of 6,” McEuen says. “So I really had to try and find things in my life or the world today that I could sort of place in my mind as substitutions for the things that [Zangara] went through.” Specifically, McEuen draws on a personal ordeal from 2014, when he found himself coping with constant pain due to torn cartilage in his hips. A year passed before the condition was diagnosed and surgically repaired. “I was a different person back then,” McEuen says. “It didn’t drive me crazy, and I didn’t try to kill a president, but … I could use that to inhabit this person who is so very different from me.”
In September 1975, 17 days after Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme (played in this production by Rachel Zampelli) was thwarted by Secret Service agents as she aimed a pistol at Gerald Ford, Moore launched an assassination attempt of her own — missing Ford with a revolver from 40 feet away. “Even in, like, A P history, you don’t learn about the woman that shot at Gerald Ford and missed,” Olivera says. “Literally nobody cares.” Moore is now 89, having been released from prison in 2007. That gave Olivera an unusual resource: actual footage of her character. As Olivera watched interviews with Moore from the past decade, she was struck by how the would-be assassin came across as “down-to-earth and really not batty at all” — in sharp contrast to her frantic portrayal onstage. “I have to go with what the text says,” Olivera says. “But knowing what I know about her has made it a little bit tricky for me. Does she deserve anything from us? No. But she is a person that’s still alive, so I feel one percent obligated to honor the person that she actually is.”
Ludwig pulls double dut y in “Assassins” as the show’s narrator, the Balladeer, and as Oswald. The actor says he was surprised to learn he shared certain political views with the man who killed John F. Kennedy in 1963 — albeit, of course, on a much less radical scale. “He is obviously presented [with] a humanist portrayal in this show,” Ludwig says. “But even just thinking about him in the larger geopolitical context, I find him very easy to empathize with.” Although the show opens at a fairground shooting gallery as the assassins are handed their firearms, Oswald is nowhere to be found. When the character finally does make his entrance, “Assassins” uses his story to comment on the corruption of the American dream with the sobering number “Something Just Broke.” “The show is always trying to highlight something rotten at the core of certain American values,” Ludwig says. “Sometimes it gets presented as the assassins are twisting them, and sometimes it’s more like, ‘Well, maybe the whole thing is a little bit questionable.’ ”

Getting his head back in the game WHY?’s Yoni Wolf took a fresh approach for the band’s offbeat new LP MUSIC Yoni Wolf had just wrapped a tour with WHY? celebrating the 10th anniversary of his band’s breakout album “Alopecia” last winter when he realized he needed to hit the reset button. “I was just like, ‘OK, I need to start fresh,’ ” says Wolf, who had paused work on WHY?’s next album to tour. “I didn’t like every night singing that whole album. It just didn’t feel right. I mean, it was fun. But I’m not a nostalgia guy.” Wolf’s solution? Shave his head. Before he went through with it, he told filmmaker Miles JorisPeyrafitte, who was working on a visual component for WHY?’s next album. The director, a Sundance special jury award winner who had randomly messaged Wolf on Instagram offering to collaborate, suggested that he film Wolf shaving his head for the project. Wolf’s self-shaving is now immortalized in the experimental full-length visual version of WHY?’s just-released album “AOKOHIO.” (The title is a cheeky reference to Wolf’s home state of Ohio as well as his mental state.) Like the film, which juxtaposes footage of Wolf singing to the camera with home movies and scenes featuring “Orphan Black’s” Tatiana Maslany, the record is a bit all over the place. Which is just as Wolf intended. Rather than work on the 19-track album as a whole, Wolf wrote “AOKOHIO” as six multisong “movements,” inspired by the structure of Frank Zappa’s

“We’re Only in It for the Money” and early Guided by Voices albums. “I liked the idea of being able to sort of wrap up a section with a nice pretty bow and then move on,” says Wolf, who tried to finish one movement before starting on the next. Though, he admits, some bits date back as far as five years. A handful of songs are over in 30 seconds, while others are more fully formed. Musically, they run the gamut: There’s shades of indie pop, hip-hop and glitchy electronica. Wolf sings, raps, talks and distorts his voice beyond recognition. Each movement has a centerpiece — such as the lumbering “Peel Free” or the infectious “Rock Candy” — and
somehow, the disparate pieces manage to jell. “I’ve always loved the way that songs go up against each other and finding a good way to assemble songs together,” Wolf says. Like shaving his head, the approach — and the visual album, now streaming for free on YouTube — allowed Wolf to rethink his mindset toward writing and recording. “I don’t want to work in the old way,” he says. “I want to have a new style of process to keep everything fresh.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

Six female photographers who challenge stereotypes are featured at the Sackler EXHIBITS Forty years after the Iranian Revolution, U.S. media coverage of Iran is still so overwhelmingly focused on the country’s fraught relationship with America that certain images have become tropes. Stock photographs of chador-clad women, shown in profile as they walk past anti-American street
murals, are published with ludicrous frequency. A new exhibit at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, “My Iran: Six Women Photographers,” aims to challenge the stereotype of voiceless Iranian women, presenting a more nuanced view of the country. Almost all the works in “My Iran” are drawn

from the Sackler’s permanent collection, and most have been acquired since 2011, when the museum began a push to add works by modern and contemporary Iranian photographers, complementing the Smithsonian’s extensive holdings of 19thcentury photos from Iran under the Qajar dynasty (1789-1925). “My Iran” begins with an arresting 5½-minute video (the only video on view) by Newsha Tavakolian, one of the show’s six artists. The clip, “Somayeh,” shows a woman in richly hued attire

— black dress, sienna overcoat, turquoise headscarf, brown purse and shoes — standing against a large tree that has a few clear plastic bags caught in its naked gray branches. As the camera slowly zooms in, the woman’s headscarf and the plastic bags sway slightly in the breeze, but she herself is immobile, her expression somber but resolute. The real-life story of Somayeh — a teacher at a girls’ school who waited seven years for permission to divorce her husband — is told in greater detail in an
accordion-style album of about a dozen candid photos, part of Tavakolian’s series “Blank Pages of an Iranian Photo Album.” Tavakolian’s reportorial style reflects her background as a photojournalist for the Magnum photo agency and The New York Times, before she branched out. In a reminder of the challenges faced by artists and journalists in Iran, The Times revealed in June that Tavakolian and its Tehran correspondent Thomas Erdbrink — Tavakolian’s husband — had been denied press

responded to cultural and societal restrictions after the Islamic revolution
permits to work in Iran since February. The other artists featured in “My Iran” are Gohar Dashti, Shadi Ghadirian, Hengameh
Golestan, Malekeh Nayiny and Mitra Tabrizian. The exhibit includes only one set of purely documentary photographs: eight blackand-white shots by Golestan,
showing women protesting the post-revolution introduction of Iran’s hijab law on March 8, 1979 — which ended up being the last day that women went out uncovered. The photos capture the women’s anger and defiance, as well as the euphoria of their spontaneous mass demonstration. Since the Islamic revolution, female Iranian photographers have largely turned away from such a documentary approach, in favor of styles that offer greater creative possibilities and space for social commentary.
As curator Massumeh Farhad noted at a press preview, “The subsequent restrictions on Iranian society and culture [after the revolution] meant that many of the photographers turned to carefully staged, cinematic style, largely inspired by Iran’s newwave photography of the ’90s.” Some of the most compelling works of that nature come from three series by Dashti, who uses varied genres to stage sometimes mysterious narratives. The hyperrealistic photos in “Home,” for instance — featuring abandoned buildings overflowing with plants placed there by the artist — can be read in one of two ways: as hopeful signs of nature’s rebirth, or as eerily post-apocalyptic. Dashti’s “Iran, Untitled” series is more absurdist. One image shows 20 or so men and women with suitcases, all lined up behind traffic cones and craning their heads as if expecting a plane to appear any minute — in the middle of the steppe. The setting — an apparent Nowhereland — seems

an apt metaphor for Iranians’ uncertainty about the future. Tabrizian, a London-based photographer and filmmaker, employs a more cinematic realism in her “Border” series, capturing Iranian exiles and revealing a palpable sense of displacement and loss. In one photo, a wearylooking elderly woman is seated by a suitcase, against a bluish wall with a closed door; in another, an older man stares out blankly from a dingy auto shop containing a wrecked car and a black cat. There’s something universal about Tabrizian’s large yet intimate portraits: They could have been taken just about anywhere. More than any other images in this show, perhaps, they evoke a feeling of empathy with their subjects — an awareness that, in many U.S. narratives about Iran, is sorely lacking.

weekendpass Cathal Armstrong
Eric Ziebold
Co-owner and chef of Kaliwa and Hummingbird
Chef and co-owner of Métier and Kinship
Chef Cathal Armstrong calls himself “a man of simple taste,” despite running two of D.C.’s buzziest restaurants, including Kaliwa at The Wharf. “When my wife and I opened Restaurant Eve [in 2004], we would go to McDonald’s for date night on Fridays and grab a Quarter Pounder,” Armstrong says with a laugh. And while he’s cut back on the Mickey D’s and amped up his workout regimen, exercising six days a week now, he still indulges at his comfort spots, including Duangrat’s Thai Restaurant in Falls Church and, on occasion, Five Guys and Shake Shack. “Five Guys does that double cheeseburger with bacon and goes all out, and at Shake Shack I go for the classic ShackBurger.”
Métier, which sits below restaurant Kinship, takes fine dining seriously — that means men are required to wear jackets, and you’ll need to shell out at least $200 per person for the seven-course tasting menu that includes a sauteed filet of branzino and a pan-seared squab breast. Sure, chef Eric Ziebold owns one of the swankiest spots in town, but he’s also got a soft spot for a cheap Salvadoran carryout joint in Alexandria. “It’s by one of the farmers markets I go to — I stopped on a whim one day and ‘discovered’ it,” he says. “Rosita’s Restaurant and Carryout on Richmond Highway has really good tacos de barbacoa and a decent michelada.”
Teresa Velazquez
Robert Curtis
Head chef and co-owner of La Betty
Executive chef of Hazel
The family empire behind A Baked Joint and Baked & Wire offers some reprieve for diners with food restrictions with its new restaurant, La Betty. “When I design anything, I try to make sure that anybody in any food group or allergens group can eat something on the menu,” says the Mount Vernon Triangle restaurant’s co-owner and head chef Teresa Velazquez. Since Velazquez spends the majority of her time cooking up American dishes, including veggie corn dogs and slow-roasted beef, her tastes outside of work skew toward other nations’ cuisines. “We can get great soup dumplings from Shanghai Lounge,” she says of dining out with her family. “My son lived in China for a while, and when we went to visit, we realized what they’re actually supposed to taste like.”
Before Robert Curtis married Tuğçe Salihoğlu, the couple had a long-distance relationship that involved Curtis making a trip to Istanbul. “I went to my first meyhane [a traditional Turkish restaurant] and saw the style of restaurants and the way people were eating with the small plates,” Curtis says. “It was amazing.” Shaw’s Hazel takes inspiration from his experience abroad, featuring dishes such as the carrot haydari (a Turkish yogurt dip) and bulgur kofte. When he’s craving Turkish food outside of work, Curtis and Salihoğlu swear by downtown casual street-food spot Tempo. “My wife and I would go to it every week if we could,” he says. “It’s one of the closest things I’ve had to authentic Turkish food in the states, and the best kumpir I’ve had outside of Istanbul.”
Yuan Tang
Erin Clarke
Executive chef and co-owner of Rooster & Owl
Executive chef of Sfoglina Van Ness
When you’re digging into the shiitake larb or crispy pig ear at 14th Street NW spot Rooster & Owl, it’s meant to be a communal experience. The sharable, four-course small-plate menu takes its cues from the way Yuan Tang and his wife, Carey, dine out. But when Tang’s not sharing food — or can’t go to his other indulgence spot in Arlington, Quarterdeck — he makes a pit stop after work at 7-Eleven. “This is going to be very embarrassing, but I like 7-Eleven hot dogs,” he says. “There’s a 7-Eleven two blocks away from the restaurant. One of my other guilty pleasures is their iced coffee. It’s cheap and it’s good. And I always get a hot dog with it.”
Pulling off Sfoglina’s extravagant dishes, such as the pappardelle noodles and the BBQ-stuffed spinach tortellini, takes a veteran chef like Erin Clarke who knows how to make pasta from scratch. To perfect her craft, Clarke has traveled far and wide — including to Paris, where she trained under a Michelin-starred chef. After she’s prepared her decadent noodle dishes and checked out for the day, Clarke sometimes heads to one of her favorite go-to cheap eateries, located in an Arlington strip mall. “Hands down, the best Thai food ever is Thai Square. It’s like, if your grandmother was Thai, this is what you’d be eating,” she says of the long-standing eatery’s menu. “Their papaya salad [the somtum] is the best — I always get two orders of it. My friend and I always try to re-create it, but we just end up leaving it up to them.”
Haidar Karoum Head chef and owner of Chloe
When Haidar Karoum opened his first solo venture, Chloe, last year in Navy Yard, he didn’t want to be pigeonholed with the menu. “At an early age I was really lucky enough to experience a lot of different cuisines, and I think that’s where my passion for food came from,” Karoum says. His Michelin-recognized restaurant features Western and Eastern dishes, including crispy soft-shell crab and potato gnocchi. But even with his worldly culinary tastes, Karoum can’t help but rave about the $17 shrimp deal at Woodley Park’s Hot N Juicy Crawfish. “It’s such a great deal for what you pay for a pound of shrimp. It’s fantastic,” he says. “It’s always just super fresh — they serve it shell-on, head-on. When you suck on the head, it’s the best part.”
Matt Baker Executive chef and owner of Gravitas
Gravitas is ideal for indecisive diners who can’t pick just one entree — even if their lives depended on it. The Ivy City restaurant has several tasting menus featuring seasonal American fare that change regularly. Matt Baker’s favorite indulgence spots include Capitol Hill’s Chiko, Union Market’s Stellina Pizzeria — and Cracker Barrel. “I grew up in Texas, so I’m always in the mood for a fried chicken or chicken fried steak or anything that’s going to be stick-to-your-ribs-type cooking,” he says. “I went again to Cracker Barrel maybe three weeks ago and I got the fried chicken. It was phenomenal.”

FINAL WEEKEND! THE CAT IN THE HAT
Reid Shilling’s Mid-Atlantic restaurant in Navy Yard, Shilling Canning Company, pays homage to his family’s former food processing business of the same name. “We work with 30 or 40 different farmers, producers or fishermen that bring their products to us directly from the farm or from the dock,” he says. Shilling admits he spends most of his time eating at the restaurant, but sometimes those $2.75 salteñas at Luzmary Bolivian Restaurant in Falls Church can be too hard to resist. “They’re Bolivia’s version of a pocket pie. They’re filled with chicken or beef, the dough is rich and they’re a little bit sweet and super beautiful,” he says. If he can’t get to Luzmary, another indulgence awaits him in a supermarket aisle: “A $5 chicken from Giant or Costco or whatever is a good, easy grab.”
Jon Sybert Chef and co-owner of Tail Up Goat
Tail Up Goat shot up the ranks in just a few months when it was awarded a Michelin star in 2016. But the folks behind the Mediterranean spot in Adams Morgan aren’t letting the honor go to their heads, says chef and co-owner Jon Sybert. “My wife’s [Jill Tyler, service director and co-owner] constant refrain ‘smart and kind’ is really the cornerstone to our service ethos,” Sybert says. When he’s not crafting Tail Up’s succulent dishes or putting the finishing touches on his soon-to-open casual eatery down the street, Reveler’s Hour, he’s chowing down on a $3.64 beef chili- and cheese-filled tortilla. “Meats & Foods in Bloomingdale has a few of my favorite snacks in D.C., period, and is an amazing, inexpensive and delicious option,” he says. “The Chilito is maybe my favorite single dish in the city.”

Owner of Ris
In D.C.’s cutthroat restaurant scene, Ris Lacoste’s West End namesake has held strong for the past decade. And to celebrate this milestone, Ris will soon undergo an extensive interior face-lift that will also add more savory American dishes to the menu. As a longtime D.C. resident, Lacoste has a list of favorite indulgences, one being &pizza’s gluten-free pizza topped with spicy tomato sauce, vegan cheese, spinach, mushrooms, grilled onions, bacon, sausage, black olives, banana peppers and garlic oil. “I rarely change [the toppings],” she says. “I did cheat on the dairy and wheat once and had the buffalo chicken pizza, and it was delicious!”

Local news that’s…well, slightly askew.
If you order carbonara at Nicholas Stefanelli’s Officina at The Wharf, you’ll get cheesy fritters instead of a plate of hearty pasta. The chef isn’t afraid to play with his food, but he doesn’t go completely off the rails either. “We make sure that the heart and soul of what we’re trying to work on stays intact,” he says of his Italian outposts. “If there’s a slight variation on that, or something that we change creates a nuance, you still feel like the dish has some soulfulness to it.” One of his favorite foods to eat during his downtime — besides peanut M&M’s — isn’t quite as nuanced. “I like going to El Rinconcito Cafe on 11th and M for their sopa de res, which is a short-rib beef stew that’s very good.”

He’s 17 and already an inspiration
‘Inland’ revels in Old West mythmaking
STREAMING Asante Blackk woke up at his aunt’s Los Angeles home on July 16, the morning of this year’s Emmy nominations announcement, to a text from Ava DuVernay. The showrunner and director behind the Netflix miniseries “When They See Us” was excited to congratulate one of her youngest ensemble members. Blackk didn’t know why. “She said, ‘Congrats on your nomination’ and some other stuff,” he says. “I was super confused.” Blackk, 17, a D.C.-area native who graduated in May from North Point High School in Waldorf, Md., had expected the four-episode show — which dramatizes the wrenching story of the real-life Central Park Five, a group of Harlem teens who were imprisoned on assault and rape charges and later exonerated — to be nominated for outstanding limited series. He assumed his colleague Jharrel Jerome would get a lead actor nod. But he hadn’t even considered that he might be recognized in the best supporting actor category. “I ran out of my room and told my aunt, ‘I think I just got nominated for an Emmy,’ ” Blackk says. The seeds for Blackk’s Hollywood breakout were planted at Henson Valley Montessori School in Prince George’s County, where he played Mowgli in a secondgrade production of “The Jungle Book.” Blackk took every acting opportunity he got, eventually
realizing he wanted to do it as a career. That moment arrived around eighth grade, when Blackk acted in “How I Learned to Be a Kid,” part of a children’s theater workshop at The Howard Theatre in D.C. “When I did that play, my mom, when she came to see it, said she hadn’t seen me light up like that in a while,” he says. He hooked up with an agent and started going out for auditions. He noticed people struggling to pronounce his given name, Asante Ma’at, so he decided to come up with something easier. He thought to himself, “What sounds cool?” and landed on Asante Black. But that name had already been claimed on Instagram, so he added another K. Blackk traveled with his uncle to New York City for his first audition for “When They See Us.” He initially tried out to play the younger version of Jerome’s character, Korey Wise, before DuVernay decided to cast Jerome as Wise at both ages. “It was the worst audition I’d ever done,” Blackk says. “I came out thinking, ‘It’s another one I didn’t get.’ But they called me back.” Blackk was cast instead as Kevin Richardson, and says he ended up feeling a closer connection to Richardson — who was 14 when he was arrested — than he had with Wise. In 1989, the real-life Richardson and the other four teens were

D.C.-area native Asante Blackk is turning heads with his role in ‘When They See Us’
Asante Blackk, top, thought he’d blown his audition for Netflix’s “When They See Us,” above. Now he’s up for an Emmy for his performance.
“I ran out of my room and told my aunt, ‘I think I just got nominated for an Emmy.’ ” ASANTE BLACKK, on the shock of finding out his work in “When They See Us” earned him a nod
charged in the rape of a female jogger in Central Park. Years later, a serial rapist confessed to the crime, and DNA evidence cleared the five teens. The environment on the set re-created the details of Richardson’s life so thoroughly, Blackk says, he had no trouble relating to Richardson’s fear and desperation. Getting to meet the real-life Central Park Five, who served as consultants, also helped Blackk develop his portrayal.
Hulu renews “Into the Dark” for Season 2
“The real men were saying all the time on set, ‘That’s exactly how it was,’ ” Blackk says. “It felt that way [to me].” The day before the show’s May 31 premiere, Blackk attended his high school graduation. Since his return to Maryland, much of his life is the same. He still hangs out with friends at the St. Charles Towne Center mall and does his “regular teenage things.” That may change soon, though — this summer, he’s relocating to L.A., where he’ll be attending the Emmy Awards on Sept. 22. Another new experience: Fans frequently come up to him for a picture or to share how Richardson’s story resonated with them. “Some people will tell me that I’ve inspired them,” Blackk says. “It’s so crazy to think about because I never thought that this early in life people were going to be looking up to me. That’s kinda weird.” MARK LIEBERMAN (EXPRESS)
BOOK REVIEW It wasn’t just that she was only 25, or that she was writing in a second language. The real miracle was the book itself. When Téa Obreht’s debut novel, “The Tiger’s Wife,” appeared in 2011, we ran out of superlatives. All agreed that her complex tale of life and loss and remembrance in the Balkans marked the arrival of an extraordinary writer. Eight years later, Obreht’s second novel, “Inland,” arrived last week. The book interweaves two distinct storylines that resonate with each other in curious ways. The first is narrated by a man known as Lurie, a notorious outlaw who falls in with a group of camel drivers. The other story, told in alternating chapters, follows Nora, a sharp-tongued woman trying to hold down a home in the Arizona Territory in 1893. On the day we meet her, Nora has run out of water. But other concerns scratch at the edges of her mind. Where has her husband gone? And where are her two older sons? Set in the 19th-century American West, the story may strike U.S. readers as less exotic than Obreht’s dreamy tales of the Balkans in “The Tiger’s Wife,” but surreal elements still infuse these pages. In this country, Obreht has found soil just as fertile for the propagation of myth and the complications of cruelty. RON CHARLES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The hoax said that as of a certain date, all pictures on a user’s account would become public and could be used against you in court. A number of celebrities — including P!nk, Usher and Rob Lowe — fell for the hoax, but Perry faced the most criticism because of the importance of his role. Perry deleted the post Wednesday morning.
