D.C. about to get a little busy More than 30 events are converging on the Mall — on a single day THE DISTRICT The National Park Service is preparing for one of its busiest days of the year in the nation’s capital next month — a day when more than 30 events are expected to coincide, including a pro-Trump rally and a demonstration of Insane Clown Posse fans who have dubbed themselves Juggalos. Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said the agency is sifting through applications to determine where best to situate each group on Sept. 16. Permit applicants for that date include protests, a half-marathon, charity events and weddings. While some applicants have already secured their permits, many are usually finalized and issued in the days before the event. The two most prominent events of the day will be the Juggalo march and a pro-Trump “free-speech” rally dubbed the Mother of All Rallies. Joining them will also be a left-leaning protest at the White House called the March to Protect American Democracy, which intends to call

attention to Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to its website. Jason Webber, an organizer of the Insane Clown Posse rally, said the purpose of his group’s march is to protest the FBI’s 2011 classification of the group as a gang after a series of crimes committed by people who identified as Juggalos. Webber said the group is apolitical, adding many of their songs decry racism and bigotry. Webber said the 3,000 or so Juggalos expected to attend the

As Patrick Swayze said in ‘Dirty Dancing,’ ‘This is my dance space. This is your dance space.’ ” The Mother of All Rallies website says its event is aimed at uniting Americans and is open to all political affiliations, although it is working to promote Trump’s “America First” agenda. The website says the group doesn’t want to be divisive and asks participants only to bring American flags to the rally, with no Confederate flags allowed. Litterst said the Park Service is equipped to deal with the large volume of events and potential clashes, adding that weekends during the fall are typically the Mall’s busy times. “Dealing with a lot of events is fortunately an area that D.C. has more experience in dealing with than many other areas,” he said.

Family speaks out after priest’s KKK confession THE DISTRICT A Catholic priest who placed a burning cross in the yard of an African-American couple four decades ago as a Ku Klux Klan member has never apologized or paid a court-ordered restitution, the couple said Wednesday. Barbara and Phillip Butler said they never got closure after the 1977 cross burning on their lawn in Prince George’s County — a home they had lived in for six months as newlyweds. While the Maryland couple has never forgotten that day, they only became aware in recent days that the man who pleaded guilty in the cross burning was a clergy member in Virginia. In an essay titled “Moving From Hate to Love With God’s Grace,” the Rev. William Aitcheson, 62, confessed he had been a leader of a KKK lodge in Maryland in his early 20s until his life was transformed, and he became a priest. He was charged

with making bomb threats, manufacturing pipe bombs and threatening to kill Coretta Scott Aitcheson King in a letter. During a news conference Wednesday in D.C., Phillip Butler said he took Aitcheson’s essay to mean he had repented through the church for his past sins, even though he never directly apologized. Barbara Butler then recited the Bible verse “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do,” and continued speaking as if talking to Aitcheson, “but you did know what you did.”

Phillip Butler said he would need a sincere effort from Aitcheson to apologize before getting closure, but Barbara Butler shook her head. “It was a lot of trauma. It really, really was,” she said. “I will never, ever forget. We didn’t deserve this. No one deserved this.” The Butlers said Aitcheson’s failure to pay his court-ordered restitution of about $20,000 wasn’t what bothered them most. Even if he were to pay, the couple said they will never forget the horror of that night. “It’s been 40 years and it came back again,” Phillip Butler said.

local CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. Workers in Charlottesville, Va., draped giant black covers over two statues of Confederate generals Wednesday to symbolize the city’s mourning for a woman killed while protesting a white nationalist rally. The work began around 1 p.m. in Emancipation Park, where a towering monument of Gen. Robert E. Lee on horseback stands. “It’s great. It’s a good start,” said Jamie Dyer, who spoke a little later from nearby Justice Park, where workers covered a statue of Gen. Thomas “Stonewall”

Jackson. “They do have to go, but it is a start, and I’m glad the city has finally recognized it has to happen on some level.” The city council voted early Tuesday to shroud the statues. The vote came at the end of an hours-long meeting packed with residents who screamed and cursed at councilors over the city’s response to the Aug. 12 rally. The event, dubbed “Unite the Right,” is believed to have been the largest gathering of white nationalists in a decade. In other developments Wednesday, Christopher Cantwell, a

nation+world 7th Fleet leader Aucoin relieved of duties after fourth incident in 2017 MILITARY The U.S. Navy dismissed the commander of the Asia-based 7th Fleet on Wednesday after a series of warship incidents raised questions about its operations in the Pacific. A two-sentence statement said Adm. Scott Swift, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, had relieved Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.” The move follows four Navy accidents in the Pacific since late January, including two collisions that left sailors dead and missing.

“While each of these four incidents is unique, they cannot be viewed in isolation,” Swift said earlier. He said the Navy will carry out a “deliberate reset” of all its ships in the Pacific, focused on navigation, mechanical systems and bridge resource management. It will include training and an assessment of each ship. The Navy said that Rear Adm. Phillip Sawyer, who had already been named as Aucoin’s successor, would assume command immediately. On Monday, the destroyer USS John S. McCain and an oil tanker collided off Singapore, injuring five sailors and leaving 10 missing. Seven sailors died in June when the destroyer USS

Civil War lessons vary depending on the state Schools put different emphasis on slavery as a cause of the war

Mars mission could rely on astronaut pee

Debates over Confederate monuments, like this one in Austin, Texas, call attention to how the Civil War is taught in schools.

ERIC GAY (AP)

EDUCATION The Civil War lessons taught to American students often depend on where the classroom is, with schools presenting accounts of the conflict that vary from state to state. Some schools emphasize states’ rights in addition to slavery and stress how economic and cultural differences stoked tensions between North and South. Others highlight the battlefield acumen of Confederate commanders alongside their Union counterparts. The differences don’t always break down neatly along geographic lines. “You don’t know, as you speak to folks around the country, what kind of assumptions they have about things like the Civil War,” said Dustin Kidd, a sociology professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. The effect of such lessons, which usually begin between fifth and eighth grade, may not be obvious until a related issue is thrust into the spotlight, like this month’s violence in Charlottesville, Va. Growing up in Charlottesville, Kidd said, he was taught that “folks from the North” had put forward the “misconception” that slavery was the cause of the war. The real origin, he was

told, could be traced to groups of colonists from England who despised each other long before the rebellion began in 1861. Confederate sympathizers have long promoted the “Lost Cause” theory, and that slavery was not the driving force behind the war. A 2011 Pew Research Center poll found that 48 percent of Americans said the Civil War was mainly about states’ rights, compared with 38 percent who said its main cause was slavery. Nine percent said the factors were equal. In Texas, eighth-graders compare ideas from Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural address with those from Confederate President Jefferson Davis’ inaugural address. The eighth-grade curriculum also lists Confederate Gen.

Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson alongside Frederick Douglass, a 19th-century abolitionist, as examples of “the importance of effective leadership in a constitutional republic.” Virginia’s standards include “describing the cultural, economic and constitutional issues that divided the nation” and “explaining how the issues of states’ rights and slavery increased sectional tensions.” Contrast that with Delaware, where school districts set their own curriculum but a syllabus for the eighth grade suggesting what might be covered says that abolition meant that the American people could for the first time “seriously claim to be living up to their commitment to the principle of liberty.”

NASA is funding new research to determine whether human urine and the carbon dioxide people exhale can be used to produce nutritional supplements, plastic parts and tools to help astronauts survive a Mars mission. The science centers on yeast strains. One byproduct is omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish and leafy greens and can help fend off heart disease. Another strain could be engineered to make polymers, which a 3-D printer can fashion into durable materials. Early findings were presented Tuesday by Clemson University’s Mark Blenner, who said Mars-bound astronauts could come to rely on yeast that grows when mingled with nitrogen in their pee and carbon in their breath.

Boy Scouts eye a major change: Recruiting girls Long plagued by declining membership, the Boy Scouts are considering a campaign to recruit in a previously untapped market — girls. The Girl Scouts aren’t having it. A feud between the scouting organizations broke into the open Tuesday, when the president of Girl Scouts of the USA called the Boy Scouts’ “covert campaign” to recruit girls “reckless” and “unsettling” in a letter obtained by BuzzFeed News. A Girl Scouts spokesman confirmed the letter in an email to The Washington Post. “[I]t is inherently dishonest to claim to be a single gender organization while simultaneously endeavoring upon a co-ed model,” Girl Scouts President Kathy Hopinkah Hannan wrote in the letter. The Boy Scouts — whose membership has dwindled by a third since 2000, to just more than 2 million as of 2016 — told The Post that they are considering including girls in response to requests from families who want their daughters to be a part of the same organization as their sons. No final decision on whether to include girls has been made, a spokeswoman for the Boy Scouts said. Girl Scouts’ membership has also taken a hit in recent years, falling from its peak of more than 3.8 million in 2003 to 2.8 million in 2014. RACHEL CHASON

Trump follows wild rally with calls for ‘unity’ POLITICS President Trump called for unity Wednesday in a speech at the American Legion’s 99th National Convention in Reno, Nev., just hours after a raucous campaignstyle rally in which he lambasted the media and his political rivals and reignited the controversy over his response to a whitesupremacist rally this month in Charlottesville, Va. “It is time to heal the wounds that have divided us, and to seek a new unity based on the common values that unite us,” Trump said, speaking before more than 5,000 members of the largest veterans group. Trump argued that “shared humanity,” “citizenship” and patriotism could heal the nation’s political and racial divides, and he heralded the work of the Legion in promoting American values. Trump’s remarks come at a time when he is facing continued pressure to stem the divisions exposed by a deadly rally in Charlottesville this month, which was organized by hate groups including the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi sympathizers. The comments were a sea

change from Trump’s posture hours earlier at a rally in Phoenix on Tuesday night, at which he angrily railed against the “dishonest” media for its coverage of his remarks on the Charlottesville gathering. Initially, he had blamed “many sides” for the conflict, rather than criticizing the hate groups that planned the event. His first statement was widely condemned, prompting Trump to issue new scripted comments that named the hate groups. But even after correcting his initial remarks, Trump reverted back to his original stance, claiming at a news conference later that week that there were “fine people” among the hate groups that had gathered to protest the removal of a Confederate statue. In his rally Tuesday, the president reread his Charlottesville remarks, but omitted the words “many sides.” But in Reno, Trump appeared to stick to a carefully crafted script, focusing on his administration’s efforts to improve services for veterans. After his speech Wednesday, he signed into law the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act, which reforms the process by which veterans can appeal their claims for disability benefits with Veterans Affairs. “I promised you that I would

make it my priority to fix the broken VA and to deliver to our veterans the care they so richly deserve,” Trump said. “And you see what’s been happening. But his response to racial divisions hung over his appearance in Reno before a group of veterans that included some who fought against Nazism and fascism in World War II. The day before Trump’s appearance, the Legion voted to reaffirm a nearly 100-year-old resolution condemning hate groups. Despite the controversy,

veterans have long been supportive of Trump generally. Among those at the convention, some were sympathetic to his approach to the Charlottesville events. “He never says things in a very delicate way,” said Ed Riley, a retired Navy fighter pilot who began serving in 1970. “I never heard him ever endorse any of the far right. It always upsets me when the news says this was a white supremacist thing. It was not; it was nationalist — a white nationalist [thing].” ABBY PHILLIP (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Clinton calls Trump a ‘creep’ in new book

Hillary Clinton said her “skin crawled” as Donald Trump loomed behind her at a presidential debate in St. Louis. The remarks are from her new book, “What Happened.” Some of the moments during the campaign, she said, “baffled” her. In recounting the October incident, she referred to Trump as a “creep.” The book comes out Sept. 12, but audio excerpts read by Clinton were played Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” (TWP)

TECHNOLOGY Safety systems to prevent cars from drifting into another lane or that warn drivers of vehicles in their blind spots are beginning to live up to their potential to reduce crashes significantly, according to two studies released Wednesday by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The two studies found that lane-keeping systems, some of which even nudge the vehicle back into its lane, and blind-spot monitoring systems had lower crash rates than the same vehicles without the systems. The lane-keeping study looked at police crash data from 25 states from 2009 to 2015 for vehicles in which the systems were optional. Lane-keeping systems lowered rates of single-vehicle, sideswipe and head-on crashes of all severities by 11 percent, and crashes of those types in which there were injuries by 21 percent. A second institute study of blind-spot detection systems found the systems lower the rate of all lane-change crashes by 14 percent and the rate of such crashes with injuries by 23 percent. If all passenger vehicles were equipped with the systems, about 50,000 policereported crashes a year could be prevented. Greg Brannon, of the Automobile Association of America, called the studies “encouraging” but said drivers need to know the limitations of the technology. JOAN LOWY (AP)

Journalist’s torso found in Denmark Woman died aboard submarine of inventor she was writing about

Florida plans an unprecedented execution today TOM WALL VIA AP

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK Swedish journalist Kim Wall had reported on conflicts, crises and natural disasters around the world. Earlier this month, she set out to sea from laid-back Copenhagen for a story about an eccentric Danish inventor and his homemade submarine. She never retur ned. On Wednesday, police confirmed that Wall’s headless torso had been found on a beach near the Danish capital. The inventor, Peter Madsen, has been arrested on suspicion of killing her. Wall, 30, was last seen alive on the evening of Aug. 10 on Madsen’s submarine, UC3 Nautilus, off Denmark’s eastern coast. Her family says the freelance journalist was working on a story about Madsen, a celebrity entrepreneur and engineer who dreamed of launching a manned space mission. Early the next day, Wall’s boyfriend reported her missing. Hours later, Madsen, 46, was rescued from his sinking vessel south of Copenhagen. Wall was nowhere to be found. Madsen, who remains in police

custody on suspicion of manslaughter, initially told police he had let Wall off on an island several hours into the trip. Later, he said she had died accidentally and he had “buried” her at sea. On Monday, a cyclist discovered a torso on a beach on Copenhagen’s southern Amager island, near where Wall was believed to have died. Copenhagen police said Tuesday that the body’s head, arms and legs had “deliberately been cut off.” Madsen’s defense lawyer said her client still maintains that Wall died accidentally, and that the discovery of her torso doesn’t mean he’s guilty of killing her.

GAINESVILLE, FLA. For the first time in state history, Florida expects to execute a white man today for killing a black person — and it plans to do so with a drug that has never been used in a U.S. execution. Barring a stay, Mark Asay, 53, is scheduled to die by lethal injection after 6 p.m. He was convicted of two racially motivated, premeditated murders in Jacksonville in 1987. The execution — Florida’s first since the U.S. Supreme Court halted the practice in the state in 2016 — is expected to be carried out using etomidate, an anesthetic approved by Florida’s Supreme Court. Asay, who is white, fatally shot Robert Lee Booker, 34, a black man, after making multiple racist comments, prosecutors said. Asay’s second victim was Robert McDowell, 26, who was white and Hispanic. Prosecutors said Asay had hired McDowell, who was dressed as a woman, for sex and shot him six times after discovering his gender. While Asay would be the first white man to be executed by the state for killing a black man, at least 20 black men have been executed for killing white victims since the state reinstated the death penalty in 1976. Asay would be the first Florida inmate executed since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the state’s method of sentencing people to death unconstitutional because it gave judges, not juries, the power to decide.

All-Star point guards Kyrie Irving, left, and Isaiah Thomas are gifted scorers but liabilities on defense.

KEY PART OF TRADE

GETTY IMAGES

Jae Crowder fits Cavs’ love of corner 3s

Major move, minor effect

The swap by Cavs and Celtics of Irving and Thomas has little short-term impact ANALYSIS In a trade that shakes up the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers dealt point guard Kyrie Irving to the Celtics on Tuesday night for a package including point guard Isaiah Thomas and a 2018 first-round draft pick. Irving, 25, had requested a trade last month, and with Lebron James also possibly leaving the team next year, the Cavs made a move aimed at both shortand long-term interests. Irving, who has been with the Cavs since they made him the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft, will be joining the team he helped defeat in May’s conference finals. In addition to Thomas, the Celtics are

sending forward Jae Crowder, center Ante Zizic and the Nets’ 2018 first-rounder. The swap gives the East’s top two teams very different looks, but it could actually have a minor impact on the conference this season. The Cavs still have the best player on either side, if not the entire league, in James, and the deal could actually improve the Cavs — at least for this season. Beyond 2017-18, all bets are off for Cleveland, while Boston is positioned to be an NBA power for the foreseeable future. In Thomas, 28, the Cavs get a player who is remarkably similar to Irving. Both are scoring point

guards, and both are deficient on defense, which was a team-wide issue for Cleveland last season. James will have to adjust to playing with a new All-Star teammate, but by the same token, so will the Celtics, who also have to incorporate free agent acquisition Gordon Hayward. Irving, the 2012 rookie of the year and a four-time All-Star, averaged a career-high 25.2 points to go with 5.8 assists while helping Cleveland reach its third straight NBA Finals. Thomas (5 feet 9) blossomed in his second full season in Boston, following stints in Sacramento, which made him the final pick in the 2011 draft, and Phoenix. He averaged 28.9 points and 5.9 assists, gaining renown for fourthquarter scoring as he earned his second straight All-Star nod.

The Celtics were in a tricky position with Thomas because he’s heading into the final year of his contract and could have demanded an extension worth around $30 million per year. The Cavs may be inclined to let Thomas walk away at the end of the season, especially if James makes it clear that he’s leaving. Irving has three years left on his contract, with an opt-out clause before 2019-20. ESPN reported that Irving was “thrilled” with the trade to Boston and has already indicated that the team will have a “great chance” to sign him to a contract extension. Armed with young talent and a wealth of future first-round picks, the future is bright for the Celtics. But the Cavs did well to restock a squad very much in win-now mode. DES BIELER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Guards Kyrie Irving and Isaiah Thomas made headlines for Tuesday night’s trade between the Cavaliers and the Celtics, but forward Jae Crowder might be the biggest difference maker in the swap, because he fits perfectly with what Cleveland tries to do on offense. Crowder, 26, hit 46.5 percent of his 3-point attempts from the corner last season, helping boost Boston’s offensive rating from 103 to 112.3 points per 100 possessions when he was on the court. Cleveland led the league with 844 corner 3 attempts in 2016-17. If you’re open in the corner, LeBron James will find you. According to NBA.com’s John Schuhmann, James led the NBA last season with a record 162 assists on corner 3s. (TWP)

FANTASY FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Beyond the first few rounds

Fantasy football drafts are usually predictable in the early rounds, so finding value later in the draft could make or break your season. Here’s a look at three potential breakout players ranked outside the top 10 at each position, according to ESPN’s non-PPR (points per reception) cheat sheet. There’s the sleeper stud (a potential top-five player), the system sleeper (a key player in a friendly offensive scheme) and the deep sleeper (a long shot worth last-pick consideration). JEFFREY TOMIK (EXPRESS)

Quarterback

Running back

Wide receiver

Tight end

THE SLEEPER STUD

Jameis Winston, Buccaneers Winston, ESPN’s 11th-ranked QB, threw for more than 4,000 yards in each of his first two years, and the Bucs added speedy DeSean Jackson and drafted tight end O.J. Howard.

Carlos Hyde, 49ers Last season, Hyde averaged 88.5 total yards a game and scored nine TDs in 13 contests. His production should only improve under his new coach, offensive guru Kyle Shanahan.

Dez Bryant, Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott’s six-game ban will put more pressure on the passing game. Bryant, ESPN’s 15th-ranked wideout, should have a better connection with Dak Prescott in the QB’s second year.

Hunter Henry, Chargers Henry had more TDs (8) last season than Travis Kelce (4) and Greg Olsen (3) combined. Antonio Gates, 37, is still around, but the Chargers proved they can utilize both tight ends.

THE SYSTEM SLEEPER

Philip Rivers, Chargers Rivers hasn’t missed a game in 11 seasons and has thrown for at least 4,000 yards in eight of his past nine years. Last year, he had more passing TDs (33) than Andrew Luck (31).

Bilal Powell, Jets The Jets could have the worst passing attack in the NFL, so they’ll rely heavily on starter Matt Forte and Powell, who rushed for 411 yards in the last four games of 2016.

Brandin Cooks, Patriots Tom Brady likes to spread the wealth, but he hasn’t had a deep threat like Cooks since Randy Moss, who had 47 TDs from 2007-09 with the Patriots. This could be a dangerous combo.

Evan Engram, Giants The Giants might just give up on the run, which would be great for the 6-foot-3, 236-pound first-round pick who ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash.

THE DEEP SLEEPER

Carson Palmer, Cardinals Drafted in only about half of leagues so far this year, Palmer has averaged 30 TDs and more than 4,400 yards a season over the past two years.

Kareem Hunt, Chiefs Kansas City didn’t trade up in the third round to grab the rookie out of Toledo just so he could watch Spencer Ware get all the carries.

Kevin White, Bears The No. 7 pick in the 2015 draft played in just four games in his first two seasons because of leg injuries, but he could the Bears’ top target.

Dwayne Allen, Patriots The last time Rob Gronkowski played a full 16-game season was 2011. The Patriots love to use two tight ends, so Allen should still see targets even if Gronkowski stays healthy.

THE TOP 10

1. Antonio Brown Steelers 2. Odell Beckham Jr. Giants 3. Julio Jones Falcons 4. Mike Evans Buccaneers 5. Jordy Nelson Packers 6. A.J. Green Bengals 7. T.Y. Hilton Colts 8. Michael Thomas Saints 9. Terrelle Pryor Sr. Redskins 10. Doug Baldwin Seahawks

1. Rob Gronkowski 2. Jordan Reed 3. Travis Kelce 4. Greg Olsen 5. Tyler Eifert 6. Delanie Walker 7. Jimmy Graham 8. Kyle Rudolph 9. Martellus Bennett 10. Austin Hooper

1. Aaron Rodgers 2. Tom Brady 3. Drew Brees 4. Matt Ryan 5. Andrew Luck 6. Russell Wilson 7. Cam Newton 8. Kirk Cousins 9. Derek Carr 10. Dak Prescott

Packers Patriots Saints Falcons Colts Seahawks Panthers Redskins Raiders Cowboys

1. David Johnson 2. Le’Veon Bell 3. LeSean McCoy 4. Melvin Gordon 5. Devonta Freeman 6. Jordan Howard 7. Leonard Fournette 8. Jay Ajayi 9. DeMarco Murray 10. Todd Gurley

Cardinals Steelers Bills Chargers Falcons Bears Jaguars Dolphins Titans Rams

Browns name rookie 2nd-round pick DeShone Kizer as starting QB over Brock Osweiler, Cody Kessler

The best fantasy picks are made in the lower rounds, but the worst ones can come early. Just ask anyone who took Todd Gurley in the first round last year. Here are five players you should avoid taking too early. (TWP) RB Devonta Freeman First-round pick is too high

The Falcons’ offense is bound to regress, and he has to split carries with Tevin Coleman, who had a higher percent of his rushing yards on runs of 15-plus yards than Freeman last year (40.5 to 37.5).

RB Marshawn Lynch Second-round pick is too high

THE DEEP SLEEPER

Patriots Redskins Chiefs Panthers Bengals Titans Seahawks Vikings Packers Falcons

He’s fresh after a year off but is still 31. In Oakland, Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington will vie for touches, and Lynch won’t catch many passes, either.

WR Terrelle Pryor Sr. Third-round pick is too high

He’s one of everybody’s favorites now that he’s the No. 1 receiver in Washington, but there’s still the risk that Jordan Reed or Josh Doctson could take over as the top threat.

WR Tyreek Hill Fourth-round pick is too high

About a third of his production for the Chiefs last year was on the ground — 267 yards and three TDs, compared with 599 and six TDs as a receiver. Gadget player or not, that sort of production isn’t often repeated.

RB Adrian Peterson Fifth-round pick is too high

Mark Ingram is still No. 1 in the Saints’ backfield, and even if he isn’t, Peterson has never been a pass-catching option. At 32 years old, he is too risky to be an RB2 or a high-end flex option.

An American tradition at risk HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL The nationwide forces that are beginning to uproot football have converged at a place called High School North. Demographic shifts, concussions, single-sport specialization and cost — the same issues that have caused youth football numbers to plummet around the country in recent years — have led the school in West Windsor Township, N.J., to drop varsity football this season. The Knights, with a roster of 37 players, will play a junior varsity schedule. Five other high schools in the area might have to do the same next year, West Windsor-Plainsboro Schools Superintendent David Aderhold said. The moves reflect a crisis for football all over the country, one that has accelerated in this New York City commuter town. “We’re the leading edge of a much larger iceberg when it comes to what’s coming in youth athletics,” Aderhold said. High school football enrollment is down 4.5 percent over the past decade, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. More schools are fielding football teams nationwide, albeit with fewer players, led by surges in such states as Oklahoma, Florida and Arkansas, which together have added 150 teams in the past five years. But other regions — namely the Midwest and Northeast — are shedding high school football programs at a significant rate. Michigan has seen a net loss of 57 teams in the past five years. Missouri has lost 24. Pennsylvania has lost 12. Meanwhile, the District has added 13 teams in the past five years, which is indicative of a push by D.C. government to pour more resources

that high schools lean on as feeder systems, saw a nearly 30 percent drop in participation from 2008 to 2013, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. Fairfax County Youth Football League saw a 25 percent drop in enrollment heading into the 2015 season, and another 5 percent drop in 2016. Annandale Boys’ and Girls’ Club had 93 football players in 2016. The program used to regularly enroll 150 children, club officials said. The forces fueling those declines have come to the fore in West Windsor. Demographic changes have drawn families who are less familiar with football. Sixty-one percent of High School North’s 1,500-some students are Indian-American and Asian-American. “We didn’t grow up with football being part of the culture,” High School North booster club president Sandy Johnson said. Johnson is Chinese-American and married to Olin Johnson, who

is white and coaches one of West Windsor’s youth football teams. Concerns over football-related head injuries have driven some parents to lead their children away from the sport, although recent academic studies have presented varying conclusions about the risk of long-term brain damage resulting from high school football. State budget cuts meant New Jersey eliminated a slew of middle school and subvarsity sports. The technology boom and high-skill jobs in biotechnology, medicine, finance and academia attracted a new class of migrants to these suburbs, where the median annual household income is $161,750. Those parents aren’t signing kids up for football at the same rate as the rest of the nation. Windsor boosters say losing football would disrupt so much more than a sports team. It would affect the recruiting and college options for student-athletes; the Friday night atmosphere; and the main stage for cheerleaders and an acclaimed marching band. Two years ago, Aderhold, the superintendant, introduced a new curriculum with a larger focus on the arts and extracurricular activities. The “whole child” approach included no-homework nights and ended high school midterms and final exams, but it also raised tensions over the balance between academics and well-roundedness. One Asian-American father told The New York Times that the reforms were “anti-intellectual.” A white mother said her son in fourth grade complained he had nothing to put on his résumé. Those tensions have simmered again as the school district pours more resources into a football program in decline. JACOB BOGAGE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Cans — they’re not just for beer anymore. Last year, canned wine sales totaled $14.5 million, a substantial increase from $6.4 million in 2015, according to Nielsen figures. Cans give drinkers a bit more flexibility and tend to be more affordable. There’s no shortage of places to try wine in a can around D.C., including at these restaurants and bars.

Recommendations on what to see—and skip.

I do this thing called CorePower Yoga. You definitely have no toxins left when you’re done, ’cause it’s such a hot room. It’s yoga, weights and heat. You have to be a bit of a glutton for punishment. It’s horrible but it’s awesome. I’m trying to do it five days a week, but I’d be lying if I said I don’t skip days here or there. Most of what I’d do all day

Read this before you go to 1527

Everything olde is new again at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.

INSTANT THREEPLAY

Dawes Jiffy Lube Live, 7800 Cellar Door Drive, Bristow, Va.; Fri., 7 p.m., $27-$140.

Maybe you’ve been to the Maryland Renaissance Festival once or twice before. You wander around, gnaw on a turkey leg, try some ax throwing and call it a day. For many others, though, the weeks-long annual event is much more than a chance to travel back in time (this year, to 1527). Here, three festival experts — a things the casual fairgoer often misses. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS) Maryland Renaissance Festival, 1821 Crownsville Road, Annapolis; Saturdays and Sundays, Aug. 26-Oct. 22, and Sept. 4, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; $8-$25 per day (free for kids younger than 7).

The actor | Stephanie Phelan Stephanie Phelan has come up in the Renaissance world. “I started as a singing barmaid,” she says of her first festival gig. Now she plays Katherine, queen of England and (first) wife of Henry VIII. “There’s a whole rehearsal season that starts at the end of June,” says Phelan, a teacher and performer by day. “The training involves everything from learning the character to learning the different scripts for that year. None of it is just throwing on a costume and walking around.” Visitors should feel comfortable approaching her majesty as the royal court makes its way through the village — even if you’ve got your iPhone out. “We learn — through experience, partly — how to figure out who wants to play and who doesn’t and we adapt to that,” Phelan says. “People do everything from really getting into character and saying, ‘Your majesty, would it be beneath you to come and have your portrait taken?’ And other people just go, ‘Hey, can I do a selfie?’ All you can do is stay in character. I won’t go, ‘Well, we don’t have selfies.’ That’s really obnoxious.”

The merchant | Shane Odom The first thing merchant Shane Odom and his wife have to do when they arrive at the festival each year is shoo away the critters. “[The buildings] sit idle for eight months, and during that time they belong to the mice, they belong to the groundhogs,” says Odom, who, with his wife, owns and runs two shops at the festival: Mythical Masks and Flying Rainbow Bubble Wands. The artistic attention to detail that Odom pays with each mask he makes — “It can be a display piece on your wall, but it’s fully wearable,” he says — carries into the shop in ways that patrons often miss. “Not only do [many merchants] own our structures, most of us designed them,” Odom says. “We paint them, we decorate them.” That includes not only the ground level and interiors, but what lies above. “I always tell people, ‘If you haven’t looked up at the second story, you’re not seeing the whole fair.’ You stand in a courtyard and look around and almost every single sign you see will be hand-painted, and they’re often beautiful pieces of art.”

The fairgoer | Alicia Zebron Even if you’ve seen Alicia Zebron at the festival in years past — she’s been a regular for 10 years — you might not recognize her this time around. Her costumes can be elaborate (it takes her about 90 minutes to get ready) and she doesn’t repeat looks. Zebron’s advice for dressing up? “For ladies, start with a corset,” she says, recommending Moresca Clothing & Costume, a New York-based company that sells period garb online and at the festival. An administrator at a cybersecurity firm in modern times, Zebron also works at the festival with Renaissance Rumble, a pro-wrestling take on Shakespeare’s fight scenes. “Since I work there, I’m allowed in early,” she says. “So I’m able to get to the front of the food line, especially the crepe line. Crepes are super-popular, especially when it gets cold out, so I try to run over there as fast as possible.” When it’s hot, she recommends the iced herbal tea, served near the White Hart Tavern. “You can bring a big wooden mug and they’ll fill it up for you and it’s only $1.50. It’s the best deal the fair has.”

MONICA HAWSE

longtime attendee, an actor and a merchant — give a glimpse into

On 2016’s “We’re All Gonna Die,” Dawes deviated from the SoCal folk rock that defined the band’s first four LPs, opting for a slicker, keyboard-heavy sound. “We’re trying to carve out something that is singular and belongs to us,” says frontman Taylor Goldsmith, above. Ahead of a gig opening for John Mayer, Goldsmith riffed on three songs that popped into his head. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

‘World Where You Live’

Crowded House

Goldsmith says he just got into the Australian band and has had this on repeat: “They’re thrashing through it in a way that helps alleviate the sentimentality in the beautiful, heartbreaking melody.”

‘Small Plane’ Bill Callahan

Goldsmith put this folk song on a mix for girlfriend Mandy Moore. “It’s him likening his relationship with a woman he loves to flying a little plane together,” he says. “He’s talking about GPS systems and things you wouldn’t think of as lyrical and making them poetic.”

‘Cumberland Gap’ David Rawlings

Goldsmith plays organ on this new Neil Young-esque track from Rawlings, who produced Dawes’ “All Your Favorite Bands.” “I’m not really an organ player … so I was like, he must want the scrappy, missing-a-chord-oncein-a while approach that I have.”

Don’t mess with Tex-Mex

El Paso Cafe

El Paso scores major points for atmosphere. My downtime waiting for a dining companion to arrive was made tolerable by live music, attentive service, a baseball game broadcast in Spanish and a 16-ounce beer in a cowboy bootshaped glass. Baskets of chips and bowls of smoky, pureed salsa were frequently refilled. Once we were seated, the food was more of a mixed bag. The grill gave a smoky taste to the subtly marinated steak and chicken fajitas. As for the square block of enchiladas, a congealed hunk of cheese dwarfed a thinly applied gravy that tasted more of tomatoes than chilies. For some reason, the onions were stuffed inside, not placed on top of the corn tortilla wrappers. Thankfully, the refried beans — the most flavorful of any of the Tex-Mex restaurants I visited — did suggest the use of lard. 4235 N. Pershing Drive,

What exactly is Tex-Mex cuisine? Robb Walsh, a partner at El Real Tex-Mex Cafe in Houston and the author of “The Tex-Mex Cookbook,” describes it as a category of American regional cuisine, shaped by Spanish priests, Native Americans and Mexican cowboys. But too often these days, “Tex-Mex” is just a phony advertisement used to get customers through the door for cloying margaritas, salsa out of a jar and overcooked slivers of grilled meat. I set out to find the real deal in Washington, the kind of place that serves the pinnacle of fajitas and enchiladas with chili gravy — two staples of Tex-Mex — that even excessively proud and defensively provincial native Texans like myself would deem up to snuff. GABE HIATT (EXPRESS) Restaurants rated on a scale of one to five tacos

Chuy’s

Started in Austin in 1982, this temple of Texas kitsch, decorated with Elvis shrines and hubcaps, has expanded with locations way east of Texas, including the Springfield Town Center. Though the beef fajitas had a nice black-pepper flavor, the overcooked Shiner Bock-marinated steak had a puzzling, soggy texture. The best part of the Elvis Presley Memorial Combo — a variety of unremarkable enchiladas, a ground sirloin taco and a cheese-dipped tostada — was the crispy tortilla slathered in “boom-boom sauce” (queso with roasted green chiles, tomatillos, green onions, lime and cilantro). The imperfect shape of the flour variety vouched that they were handmade, and they were tasty — but only after a requested warm-up. 6793 Springfield Mall, Springfield, Va. (Additional locations in Sterling, Va., Woodbridge, Va., Fairfax and Rockville.)

Guapo’s

A hulking tortilla maker near the back of Guapo’s Tenleytown location shows that the kitchen is serious: These tortillas are pressed thin and delicious, even though they come without the desirable brown pockmarks. Beef and chicken fajitas hissed on a plate so hot that the clarified butter in a ramekin next to the meat was bubbling. The sizzling platter yielded beautifully caramelized onion and pepper slices that soaked up the meats’ juices. The skirt steak took a little effort to chew, but it packed a pleasant Worcestershire punch. Cheese enchiladas were filled with cheese that was a little too solid, but the shredded beef variety encased a tomato-tinged filling that had everyone at the table nodding their head with each bite. 4515 Wisconsin Ave. NW. (Additional locations in Gaithersburg, Md., Bethesda, Arlington and Fair Lakes, Va.)

CYCLONE ANAYA’S

KATE PATTERSON (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Arlington.

Cyclone Anaya’s

I assume the high-end clientele of this Houston-based chain considers sizzling platters gauche, because the mixed fajitas arrived smokeless, in a small tin — a drag, although it does prevent diners from going home perfumed like a grill. The chile con queso — melted cheese dip with chopped peppers — was rich and smooth with a bounty of fresh tomatoes and a surprising addition of green onions. Juanito’s Superior Platter came with a taco al carbon — a pre-rolled taco filled with fajita meat — and an admirable enchilada made up of a bright red tortilla and a rich chili con carne. But garnishes of cotija cheese and purple kale are flourishes that have no place in Tex-Mex. 2911 District Ave., Suite 170, Fairfax.

MI RANCHO

Mi Rancho

DONAVON

Most of the enchiladas I encountered in Washington suffered from too light a ladling of chili gravy. Mi Rancho was the exception. On the Silver Spring restaurant’s Tijuana Platter, two cheese enchiladas floated in enough gravy to reach the rim of the plate. A crunchy beef taco and a moist pork tamale — with a nice ratio of masa to meat — rounded out the combo. From plump and juicy beef and chicken fajitas to the nearly translucent tortilla chips, most everything looks appealing here, including the surroundings. The sprawling front patio is the perfect spot to enjoy a drink. Heavy double doors open into a dimly lit interior, featuring a tortilla machine and a festive border of string lights. 8701 Ramsey Ave., Silver

Cactus Cantina

The scent surrounding Cactus Cantina is the first marker of quality Tex-Mex. It comes from the steam chugging out of the tortilla maker the staff calls “El Machine,” which mass-produces soft, lush flour tortillas. There’s no better local place to participate in the Tex-Mex tradition of filling up on chips and salsa: Brick-red and specked with bits of blackened tomato skins and chile de arbol seeds, the salsa arrived still warm from the grill. The flat shape of the cheese enchiladas proved the corn tortillas had been properly softened, though the gravy was a little darker and sweeter than I like. The beef in the mixed fajitas was tender and pink in the middle. A soy-and-pineapple marinade made the skirt steak sing, and a ramekin of clarified butter was a welcome indulgence for the chicken. Cactus Cantina is my clear favorite Tex-Mex restaurant in Washington — it makes me feel at home. 3300 Wisconsin Ave. NW.

Take it away, Bessie Smith STAGE Ari Roth has something few people have: a story about airport security with a happy ending. It was early March and Roth, the artistic director of Mosaic Theater Company, was waiting in a particularly long security line at the Atlanta airport. Mosaic had just lost the show that was set to open its 2017-18 season (“Nina Simone: Four Women,” which had been snatched up by Arena Stage). On his way home from an unsuccessful trip to find a replacement play, Roth got an

email from Joe Brancato urging him to check out the show he’d been directing for years at theaters across the country, “The Devil’s Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith.” Roth watched a clip of the show while the line crept forward. “By the time I got to security, I knew that we had to do this play,” Roth says. The show sends Mosaic into uncharted territory for its third season, expanding its slate of socially conscious theater to include musicals. It might sound like a more commercial endeavor, but Roth doesn’t see it as such a stretch. “I don’t think this embarking into musicals is going to surprise

Mosaic Theater Company’s bigger-than-ever third season also includes these highlights (to be performed at Atlas Performing Arts Center). L.M. ‘Vicuna’ (Nov. 1-26): This world premiere from Jon Robin Baitz is a satirical story about an unnamed real estate magnate turned presidential candidate who’s “commissioning this magical suit that will allow him to seduce the electorate and enough people for him to become president,” says artistic director Ari Roth. The show is followed by a new epilogue that imagines life during President Trump’s second term. ‘Queens Girl in Africa’ (Jan. 4-Feb. 4): This new show from D.C. playwright Caleen Sinnette Jennings is a sequel to her 2015 solo show “Queens Girl in the World” at Theater J. This time, our heroine, Jacqueline Marie Butler, travels to Nigeria after the assassination of Malcolm X. (See an early reading at the Kennedy Center’s Page to Stage Festival on Sept. 4 at 1:30 p.m.) ‘Paper Dolls’ (March 29-April 22): Based on the 2006 documentary of the same name, the second musical from Mosaic tells the story of Filipino elder care providers in Tel Aviv who moonlight as drag queens. Roth hints at a flashy display for this “karaoke musical” — the costume budget is quadruple Mosaic’s usual spending for a show.

people, because it’s coming very much out of the mission and vision that people already expect from Mosaic,” Roth says. And for those who don’t know that mission of cross-cultural theater, a musical might get them through the door, he adds: “Musicals attract some audience members that would be reluctant to go to a heavy evening of theater.” “The Devil’s Music,” written by Angelo Parra and directed at Mosaic by Brancato, takes place in 1937 on the last night of blues singer Bessie Smith’s life.

play’s fictional plot, she and her three bandmates are refused entry at a whites-only theater in Memphis, Tenn., so she heads to a black theater and performs a show that’s full of fire, bitterness and gin. “The Devil’s Music” weaves Smith’s hit songs in with some self-reflection and dirty jokes. “We’ve always heard that when we die, our lives flash before our eyes,” says Miche Braden, who originated the title role and has been playing the part in “The Devil’s Music” for more than 17

years around the country. “This is her life flashing, in some ways. She’s basically telling her history, and why not? She was upset, and she liked to let people know who she was and what she’d done.” The audience, Braden says, is the fifth character in the show — she speaks directly to the audience as Smith would have to a 1937 crowd. That breaking of the fourth wall is one of the things that sold Roth on the show, and proved to him it was a good fit for Mosaic and its patrons. “They are a welcoming,

diverse, inviting audience, as opposed to the snooty crowd that would have greeted [Smith] at the whites-only bar,” Roth says. “The character we understand the audience to be, that’s the kind of audience Mosaic

SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER

“Are we allowed to walk here?” a man in an American flag T-shirt asked a policeman outside the Supreme Court Building. Even after getting the nod, the tourist hesitated, as if he was afraid of tracking mud across a newly mopped floor. I couldn’t blame him — the blindingly white plaza fronting the building is hardly inviting, and yet I know there’s a small visitor center inside that’s open to the public (weekdays, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.) even when the court isn’t in session. Leaving the guy behind, I passed under the stern gaze of two massive marble statues. The one of a man who appears to be wearing a backward baseball cap is called “Authority of Law.” The other one, “Contemplation of Justice,” is a statue of a woman holding a smaller female statue in her hand. Squinting up at it, I was unable to see if the smaller statue is holding another, smaller woman who is contemplating another, even smaller statue, and onward to infinity. Let’s just assume that’s the case. Once inside, I found myself alone with the man running the metal detector. “Where is everyone?” I asked. “They’re upstairs waiting for the courtroom tour,” he said. Now I was excited. I didn’t

expect I’d get to see the Supreme Court courtroom. Turns out, courtroom lectures are offered every hour on the half-hour except when the court is in session and on holidays. I scampered up the stairs and found my fellow tourists standing in line in a massive room, empty except for columns and marble busts of former chief justices. Two enormous mahogany doors opened and a smartly dressed woman told us to put away our cameras and phones. That’s because photography is strictly prohibited in the courtroom, which makes seeing it in person extra-special. So here’s what it looks like: overdone. There’s dark wood and marble everywhere, not to mention the heavy red drapery, upholstery and carpeting — like the formal dining room of a fussy rich relative. The courtroom is also surprisingly small. If you sat in the first row or two of benches, you could easily hit one of the justices with a balled-up piece of paper. (Not that I’d recommend this, I’m just saying it’s possible.) “The lawyers and the justices are within touching distance,” the tour guide said when I shared my observation with the crowd. “That makes oral arguments a very intimate affair.” “What happens when they are going badly?” I asked. “I’ve seen that happen. It’s

uncomfortable for everyone,” she said. The guide shared other interesting facts, including that there is a basketball court on the fifth floor, and that the famous saying on the building’s westward-facing pediment, “Equal justice under law,” was not taken from some famous legal tome — it was written by the building’s architect. If that sounds like chutzpah, consider this: The architect, Cass Gilbert, put his own likeness on the pediment, which also features a flattering figure of President William Howard Taft as a trim scholar. What a suck-up. At the end of her spiel, our guide encouraged us to come back another day to see oral arguments, which begin at 10 a.m. when the court is in session. All you have to do to get in, she said, is arrive before 5:30 a.m. for most cases. “It’s the best theater in Washington,” she said. Having once put myself to

Pro tip: Take the courtroom tour but skip the C-SPAN video. sleep with the audio recording of the gay marriage case, I question the tour guide’s judgment. Though maybe you have to be there. Perhaps, in a ritual dating back to the early days of the court, the justices lift up their robes and do the cancan every time anyone says “Oyez.” That would be worth waiting in line for. It would also explain the camera ban. The guide also recommended we return to the visitor center and watch a video about the court. Wanting to take at least some of her advice, I headed back downstairs and parked myself in front of a C-SPAN-produced documentary that contained all the action-packed adventure of regular C-SPAN programming, which is to say I woke myself up with my own snoring.

The visitor center’s other exhibits — mostly wall-mounted displays that cover the history of the court — were more interesting. My favorite piece was the huge bronze statue of the most influential chief justice in Supreme Court history, as a nearby placard puts it. “Look, it’s Thurgood Marshall,” one passerby observed, bless his liberal heart. “No, it’s John Marshall,” his companion correctly replied. On my way out, I noticed people clustering around a display with their camera phones out. It was a diorama of the courtroom, and one woman seemed particularly excited to have found a loophole in the ‘no photography’ rule. After glancing around furtively, she aimed her phone at the shoebox-size courtroom and snapped away. “Well, at least we can take a picture of this,” she said. Next time, The Staycationer visits an escape room.

PARKS

National Park Service Birthday On Aug. 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed an act creating the National Park Service. In what has become an annual tradition, the service will celebrate its 101st birthday this year by allowing people to visit any national park for free. The D.C. area is home to many of these sites, so you won’t have to go far to take advantage of this opportunity: Great Falls Park, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and Prince William Forest Park are just a few of the options.

‘The Greatest Generation’ Benjamin Ahr Harrison and Adam Pranica describe themselves as “two guys who are a bit embarrassed to have a ‘Star Trek’ podcast.” “The Greatest Generation” is an auditory ode to all that is good, bad and hilarious about “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Whether your second language is Klingon or you’re a total newbie, all are welcome to stop by for a beer and the live recording.

The four-day festival will feature Latin dance showcases, open ballroom dancing and concerts.

FRIDAY & SATURDAY

Michael Yo DC Improv, 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW; Fri. & Sat., 7:30 & 9:45 p.m., $20.

In conjunction with the DC Improv’s 25th anniversary, the club asked some of its perennial headliners to recommend the next wave of comedy stars. Former “Chelsea Lately” regular Jo Koy suggested his former podcast co-host Michael Yo, who is most recognizable as a host from shows on E! and the syndicated entertainment newsmagazine “The Insider.” Expect his stand-up to delve into the world of pop culture, as well as his half-black, halfKorean heritage.

MUSIC

Dale Watson and His Lone Stars Dale Watson has always had two things going for him: a handsome voice and a deep, abiding love for Texas and California country music, especially honky-tonk and swing. In D.C., he’ll be fronting a crackerjack band, crooning low notes, picking his bright, trebly Telecaster and playing songs from last year’s “Under the Influence.” As the title implies, that record includes covers of songs associated with Lefty Frizzell, Conway Twitty and Mel Tillis. Hill Country Live, 410 Seventh St. NW; Tue., 8:30 p.m., $18-$20.

Wed. MUSEUMS

Hive Late Night It’s highly likely that the National Building Museum’s “Hive” installation, with its undulating towers of more than 2,700 paper tubes, have popped up on your Instagram feed this summer. There’s only a few more chances to see (and selfie) the architectural marvel in person: The exhibit closes Sept. 4. Make an evening of it at the museum’s final after-hours Hive Late Night party, complete with musical performances and food and drinks from Hill Country. National Building Museum, 401 F St. NW; Wed., 6-9 p.m., $16.

What’s she trying to say?

MARK METCALFE (GETTY IMAGES)

A Joker movie might just be worth the risk

Unlike past releases, Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’ is shrouded in mystery MUSIC It was almost three years ago exactly when Taylor Swift sat on a leather sofa, beaming, as she revealed the details of her upcoming album, “1989,” to a select group of fans in New York City. ABC News and Yahoo livestreamed the spectacle worldwide as Swift debuted her single “Shake It Off,” inviting her fans to dance along with her. As she announced that the album would mark a switch from country music to pop, the message was clear: So long Nashville, hello world pop domination. On Wednesday, Swift sent a different missive with the reveal of her sixth album, “Reputation,” out Nov. 10. (The first single drops sometime today.) The album cover art appeared out of nowhere on Instagram and Twitter. The only warnings that something was brewing in Swiftland

were videos of a snake posted to her social media this week, after she wiped the accounts clean last Friday. There was no dancing. Then again, these are different times. Last year, Swift suffered backlash as her ex-boyfriend, Calvin Harris, accused her of trying to “bury” him when she spilled that she wrote his hit “This Is What You Came For.” Then, Kim Kardashian posted an edited recording of a phone call between Swift and Kanye West, who name-checked Swift in his controversial track “Famous.” Though Swift previously made it seem like she was caught off guard by the song, Kardashian’s footage appeared to show Swift joking with West about the lyrics. Though Swift said she was being “falsely painted as a liar,” the

internet declared her a “snake.” With the snake imagery, the title “Reputation,” and the cover art with her name printed all over newspapers, Swift isn’t pretending the controversy didn’t happen. She knows what people are saying about her. And she’s ready to respond. This Swift is a marked difference from when she debuted in 2006 with her self-titled album. After signing with an independent label, Big Machine, she depicted herself as an underdog, telling the story of sitting on the floor of the label, stuffing envelopes with her album to send out. It was her sophomore record, “Fearless,” in 2008 that catapulted Swift to stardom. She leaned into a fairy tale theme, with “Love Story” casting her as Juliet in an epic story, and “You Belong With Me” showcasing her as an outsider looking in. Then, with the

launch of her third album, “Speak Now,” Swift declared in a 2010 livestream that she had written all the songs herself. Translation: She was a serious artist. “Red” in 2012 was an abrupt turnaround, the start of her very lucrative collaboration with Swedish pop maestros Max Martin and Shellback. She announced it on a Google Plus hangout for the world to see. She played the first single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” cheekily dedicating it to a “lovely ex-boyfriend.” Now, following the “1989” livestream in 2014, we have “Reputation” — no fanfare except some creepy snake videos and a no-frills social media announcement. Swift has recently made a concerted effort to stay out of the public eye, but as always, she’ll be along soon to make her message very clear. EMILY YAHR (THE WASHINGTON POST)

PURPLE ALERT

Prince’s rare concert film to air on Showtime next month

Showtime has acquired rights to a rare Prince music film, “Sign O’ the Times,” which will air Sept. 16 on the premium network. Directed by Prince himself, the 84-minute film was created as an intheater companion to his 1987 double album of the same name. It features concert performances, tour footage and other scenes shot at his Minneapolis studio complex, Paisley Park. (AP) Rod Stewart to perform reworked “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” with DNCE at MTV VMAs on Sunday

FILM Deadline and Variety reported Tuesday that “The Hangover” director Todd Phillips is negotiating with Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment to direct and co-write a movie based on the origins of the Joker. Even better, Martin Scorsese is also rumored to be involved. So where does this leave the current Joker, Jared Leto? Deadline reported that while Leto will reprise his role in the sequel to “Suicide Squad” as well as in the David Ayer-directed “Gotham City Sirens,” this Joker will probably be played by a different actor. But can a Joker really carry his own movie? Look at it this way: A Joker film could be the type of move that separates WB/DC from Marvel Studios. “Wonder Woman” proved that DC movies can (finally, post-Christopher Nolan) be just as good as something Marvel produces. And Marvel probably isn’t planning on making a movie about any of its villains anytime soon. If there’s been one gripe with Marvel, it’s that, with the exception of Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and the pending arrival of Josh Brolin’s Thanos in “Avengers: Infinity War,” its villains are rarely show-stealing. Batman’s rogues’ gallery takes command of the screen, and that’s probably why WB and DC feel they can take a chance on a Joker movie. It doesn’t mean it’ll work, but it’s time to roll the dice and try. DAVID BETANCOURT (TWP)

“Nothing but respect for MY queen of pop and her snake.” @IRA, writer Ira Madison III, taking the popular “Nothing but respect for MY president” meme and applying it to Taylor Swift’s album release teases. Swift announced Wednesday that her album will come out Nov. 10 and that the first single drops today. She had teased the announcement on her social media with videos of snakes — and some Twitter users shared the opinion that Swift can’t come close to the hype of Britney Spears’ iconic performance of “I’m a Slave 4 U” with a live python at the 2001 VMAs. “The only snake I recognize and respect is Banana from the Britney Spears performance at the VMAs,” @lotuseatur tweeted.

@ELLIEASHE, sharing a grudge after @Nicole_Cliffe asked Twitter users to send her “your oldest, most cherished grudge.” The people of Twitter let their grudges out, including @SharonLeavy1, who shared: “I loaned a copy of ‘The Babysitters Club: Mary-Anne’s Makeover’ to a ‘friend’ in 1996 and she never returned it.”

Clinton, as a former first child, tweeted: “No child should be talked about in [this] manner in real life or online.”

“My hope for you during this difficult time ... is that you have the courage to stand up for what you know is the truth.”

DIFFICULT

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Look deeper than usual to determine whether you’ve been missing something on a regular basis. What you uncover will make a difference. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may have the opportunity to get a great deal done on your own, without the distractions others often bring. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You must resist the temptation to do more than you are asked, as you’ll want to keep energy and resources in reserve. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You can make a small change in your methodology that will have an enormous impact when all is said and done. Consider all options. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may be fighting against something that cannot be beaten — yet. But as you know, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The gains you score may be questioned by others, but you can prove everything has been on the up and up. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Focus on what has been done before, and you’ll learn what you must try to do now, whether that is familiar or new. ARIES (March 21-April 19)

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

Knowledge is power, as you know, but you may come to the conclusion that you’ve been missing something you very much need!

TODAY: High pressure builds, although an upper-level disturbance could still generate some clouds. We’ll call it partly to mostly sunny, with comfortable humidity (dew points in the 50s) and pleasant highs around 80. Later, it should be nice for a lateAugust night, with partly cloudy skies and lows in the mid-60s.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s a good day to take stock — of ideas, of tools, of teammates. Are you ready for the big push that lies ahead? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your goals are similar to those of a rival, but that doesn’t mean that the time has come for you to try to work together — just yet.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, who dated for nearly four years before breaking up in 2015, might have rekindled their romance, insiders told People magazine. “They never stopped caring about each other,” a source close to Stone said. “Even when they split, Emma and Andrew had great love and respect for each other.” Another friend of Stone’s added that “the feeling between them is still romantic.” However, one more insider insisted “The Amazing Spider-Man” co-stars are just “great friends” who are encouraging of each other’s careers. The same source added that Stone and Garfield might get back together only “if the timing is right.” (EXPRESS)

Rose debuted her new ink last Friday at a Sugar Factory American Brasserie appearance in Miami.

Shailene Woodley told The New York Times that she is considering running for political office in the future. “There was a point last year when I was working for Bernie Sanders where I thought, ‘Huh, maybe I’ll run for Congress in a couple years,’ ” the actress said. “And you know what? I’m not going to rule it out. Who knows? Life is big, and I’m young.” (EXPRESS)
