page three ‘That’s it for the Lucketts Fair’ LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA. When the Hillbilly Gypsies wrapped up a spirited rendition of “Bile ’em Cabbage Down” last weekend to the applause of a small but appreciative gathering of bluegrass diehards, announcer Bob Veatch walked in front of the Lucketts Community Center’s gazebo stage and proclaimed, “That’s it for the Lucketts Fair forever.” With that, its run as one of the most popular country fairs in Loudoun County ended. Over the decades, thousands flocked to the event every summer to soak up the familyfriendly atmosphere and enjoy the fair’s hayrides, petting zoo, fruit pie contests, cakewalks, barbecues, hand-scooped ice cream, quilt raffles, juried crafts and first-rate bluegrass music. Several organizers said the fair had fallen victim to competition, development and dwindling attendance. In recent years, the fair has attracted about one-third of the attendance of its heyday, when it drew as many as 18,000

It may not be limited to bluegrass music, which has been a mainstay of the community center and the fair for decades, she said. Webb, 76, and Dick Snooks, 80, were among a group of 10 Lucketts-area residents who launched the fair in 1973 as a fundraiser to save the old Lucketts schoolhouse from demolition after a new elementary school was constructed next door. Their efforts paid off. The county eventually reclaimed the building as part of a program to convert old school buildings into community centers, and it reopened as the Lucketts Community Center in 1981. “I hate to give it up,” Snooks said. “I don’t like it. But there’s nothing I can do about it.” JIM BARNES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Oft-delayed rail line will connect Maryland’s two largest counties OLIVER CONTRERAS (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)
TRANSPORTATION U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao signed a funding agreement Monday with Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan to build a 16-mile light-rail project in the traffic-congested suburbs of the nation’s capital, and she praised the use of public-private partnerships to build large infrastructure projects like this one. Chao said the department is focused on making it easier for states to use such partnerships to pay for expensive and needed infrastructure in the United States. “We also want to encourage them to leverage resources to make taxpayers’ dollars go further to support sound projects around the country,” Chao said at a groundbreaking ceremony with federal, state and local officials. “The administration’s comprehensive infrastructure plan seeks this creative approach not just for transit, but for highways, rail, aviation and port projects as well, and the Purple Line is a great example of what can be accomplished when the federal, state, local and private partners work together.” The agreement will free up $325 million in federal funds already appropriated and a

total federal contribution of $900 million for the oft-delayed project. The Purple Line, connecting to Metro, MARC and Amtrak, will run through Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, providing rail transportation between the state’s two largest counties, with a combined population of more than 1.8 million. The total construction cost is about $2 billion. The cost to design, build and operate the line is estimated at about $5.6 billion. Hogan, a Republican, said it represents the nation’s largest public-private partnership so far. “This multibillion-dollar infrastructure project is a big win for the state of Maryland, and it will be a major benefit to the national
capital region,” Hogan said. “It’s the largest P3, public-private partnership, ever undertaken in the United States of America. It’s a shining example of what can be accomplished when our federal, state, county and private-sector partners all work together.” U.S. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat, said the project will put more than 6,000 people to work on the construction project and create more than 400 ongoing jobs. “It’s going to be a great benefit for the citizens of this entire region in terms of economic development, in terms of less congestion on the roads as more people take transit and, of course, in terms of cleaner air because this is an electric-run train,” Van Hollen said.

local Left-leaning think tanks say proposed increase would hurt the poor TRANSPORTATION A regionwide one-cent sales tax to fund Metro would have a disproportionate impact on poor families, taking five times the share of income from the bottom 20 percent of earners when compared with those in the top 1 percent, according to a new analysis from a trio of leftleaning think tanks representing D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
Calling recent service cuts, fare hikes and a potential sales tax a “triple whammy” on the region’s low-income residents, the groups are pressing local officials to ditch the sales tax proposal in favor of flexible, jurisdictional financial commitments, with each government finding its own way to pay for Metro’s long-term needs. “It’s not right to ask the families who are least well-off to shoulder the biggest responsibility for fixing Metro, while leaving businesses and high-income families off the hook,” said Ed
Lazere, executive director of the DC Fiscal Policy Institute, one of the three think tanks. The other two organizations are the Maryland Center on Economic Policy and the Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis. Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld has called for $15.5 billion over 10 years to support the system’s capital needs — including $500 million in new, annual dedicated funding — and a slew of concessions from Metro’s unions to keep finances healthy and infrastructure in good repair.

local THE DISTRICT Low-income D.C. residents are not getting the help they need to buy groceries because of widespread problems with the city’s food stamp program that serves needy families, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court Monday. Brought by four individuals and the nonprofit safety net organization Bread for the City, the court filing details delays in processing applications and the elimination of benefits without warning, in violation of federal law. The “ongoing failures mean
that households are deprived of desperately needed assistance to help them feed their families and suffer hunger as a result,” according to the lawsuit, filed by the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia and the National Center for Law and Economic Justice. Each month, thousands of D.C. residents apply for benefits from the federally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program program — also known as food stamps. As of May, about 120,000 people in roughly 70,000 households participated in the program run by the city’s Department of

POLITICS A top executive from Donald Trump’s real estate company emailed Vladimir Putin’s personal spokesman during the U.S. presidential campaign last year to ask for help advancing a stalled Trump Tower project in Moscow, according to documents submitted to Congress on Monday. Michael Cohen, a Trump attorney and executive vice president for the Trump Organization, sent the email in January 2016 to Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin’s top press aide. “Over the past few months I have been working with a company based in Russia regarding the development of a Trump Tower-Moscow project in Moscow City,” Cohen wrote Peskov, according to a person familiar with the email. “Without getting into lengthy specifics the communication between our two sides has stalled. “As this project is too important, I am hereby requesting your assistance. I respectfully request someone, preferably you, contact me so that I might discuss the specifics as well as arranging meetings with the appropriate individuals.” The email is the most direct interaction yet documented of a top Trump aide and a similarly

The email shows the Trump business official directly seeking Kremlin assistance in advancing Trump’s business interests, in the same months when Trump was distinguishing himself on the campaign trail with his warm rhetoric about Putin. In a statement Cohen gave congressional investigators, he said he wrote the email at the recommendation of Felix Sater, a Russian-American businessman who was serving as a broker on the deal. In the statement, obtained by The Washington Post, Cohen said Sater suggested the outreach because a massive
Trump development in Moscow would require Russian government approval. Cohen said he did not recall receiving a response from Peskov and the project was abandoned two weeks later. Cohen said in a statement to The Post that the project “was simply one of many development opportunities that the Trump Organization considered and ultimately rejected.” Cohen said he dropped the project because he lost confidence that the Moscow developer would be able to obtain land, financing and government approvals.

Ugly female moths have developed a way to boost their odds of snagging a mate. They hang out with more attractive moths, according to new research, Science magazine reports. Moths judge attractiveness based on scent, so researchers bred two strains of tobacco budworm moth in a lab, one of sexy smellers and one of stinkers. Then they split them off into pairs. Pairs of attractive females nearly always snagged mates; pairs of unattractive females never did. But when paired with attractive females, “ugly” ones were able to mate 17 percent of the time, because males would rush toward the appealing scent but often miss their target. (EXPRESS)

N. Korea fires 3 missiles Japan alerts Hokkaido residents to take cover after 1 flies over island ASIA AND PACIFIC North Korea launched three ballistic missiles Tuesday morning and at least one of them flew over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, public broadcaster NHK of Japan reported. The government issued an alert for residents in some prefectures to take cover. Although North Korea sent a missile over Japan once before
— in 1998 — this launch comes at a time of heightened tensions. Pyongyang has been threatening to fire a missile over Japan and into the waters around the American territory of Guam. “We’ll make the utmost effort to protect the public,” Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters Tuesday morning. The missiles were launched at 5:58 a.m. Japan time; one flew over Hokkaido at 6:06 a.m. South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff also confirmed that the missile had passed over Japan. The missile flew 733 miles to
land in the Pacific Ocean east of Hokkaido’s Cape Erimo, NHK reported. Kim Jong Un has defied international calls to desist and has instead been making strides in his weapons program, last month launching two intercontinental ballistic missiles theoretically capable of reaching the mainland United States. Tuesday’s launch, on the heels of three short-range missiles fired Saturday, comes amid ongoing joint exercises between the U.S. and South Korean militaries. ANNA FIFIELD (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the program to roaring applause Monday at a national convention in Washington of the Fraternal Order of Police. The plan will “send a strong message that we will not allow criminal activity, violence and lawlessness to become a new normal,” Sessions said.

limited police agencies’ access to camouflage uniforms, bulletproof vests, riot shields and other items. It also prohibited the government from providing grenade launchers, bayonets and tracked
armored vehicles to police. “Those restrictions went too far,” Sessions said. “We will not put superficial concerns above public safety.” Groups across the political spectrum have expressed concern about the militarization of police, arguing that the equipment encourages and escalates confrontations with officers. But many law enforcement agencies and policing organizations see it as needed to ensure officers aren’t put in danger when responding to activeshooter calls and terrorist attacks.

At least 8 dead from Harvey More fatalities likely as rain continues to slam the Gulf Coast
FUNDRAISING
Region braces for economic impact of storm JOE RAEDLE (GETTY IMAGES)
HARVEY Rain pelted Houston anew Monday as emergency teams — aided by a growing contingent of citizen-rescuers — plunged into waist-deep water seeking people stranded by devastating, historic flooding in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. Officials in Texas said Monday afternoon that at least eight people appear to have died as a result of the storm battering the state. That toll includes six people in Harris County, home to Houston; one person in Rockport, near where Harvey made landfall; and another person in La Marque, near Galveston. Authorities expect the toll to rise as rescue efforts continue and more rain, rising rivers and surging floodwaters pummel the Gulf Coast. Forecasters say up to 20 inches of additional rain could fall on parts of Texas and Louisiana by Thursday, with as much as 50 inches of overall rainfall in some parts of Texas. About 2,000 people had been brought to safety with more still in need of help. Yet even with several deaths attributed to the storm, the full toll of Harvey’s

destruction remained unclear in Houston and across Texas and Louisiana, with officials warning that the flooding would linger and saying more than 30,000 people would be forced from their homes. “We are not out of the woods yet,” Elaine Duke, the acting Homeland Security secretary, said Monday. “Harvey is still a dangerous and historic storm.” Fears also grew beyond Texas, where the floodwater was measured in feet, not inches. President Trump on Monday declared “emergency conditions”
in Louisiana, where forecasts have called for as much as 2 feet of rainfall in some areas. During a news conference Monday, Trump said he expects Congress to take “very rapid action” to help the storm-ravaged areas. Trump, who is visiting Texas today, also said he may return to Texas on Saturday and, depending on the storm’s movements, could also visit Louisiana. “I look very much forward to it,” Trump said. “Things are being handled really well. The spirit is incredible, of the people.” The immediate focus remained
on Houston, which faced National Weather Service forecasts warning of more heavy rainfall. Two reservoirs were opened Monday to release water. Parts of Harris County, which encompasses Houston, were pelted with 30 inches of rain in the previous 72 hours, the Weather Service reported early Monday. “You could not draw this forecast up. You could not dream this forecast up,” said William “Brock” Long, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. KEVIN SULLIVAN AND MARK BERMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

HARVEY Flood damage from Harvey is likely to reach into the tens of billions of dollars and the storm is expected to cause the Houston region’s economy to shrink, at least in the near term. Harvey will likely affect the South Texas economy for months. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, predicted that the region’s economic output will be cut about 1 percent, or $7 billion to $8 billion. Property damage from Harvey will likely be counted in the tens of billions of dollars. Damage from flooding will far outstrip wind damage, said analysts for Risk Management Solutions, which makes forecasts for insurance companies. Oil prices are expected to spike over the next week as about 10 refineries representing more than 15 percent of the nation’s refining capacity are shut down. Nearly 3 billion barrels of the 18 billion U.S. daily capacity have been knocked out. In the shipping industry, all major ports in the Houston and Corpus Christi areas remained closed Monday and might not open for days. Several large container ships that were headed to Houston anchored off Mexico or Louisiana to wait out the storm. The ports can’t reopen until the U.S. Coast Guard and ship pilots are confident that shipping channels are not obstructed by silt washed into bays. DAVID KOENIG (AP)

Social media help line Stranded Houston residents are turning to Facebook and Twitter to get rescued Overload of 911 calls
TRUDY LAMPSON (VIA AP)
HARVEY Desperate messages and horrifying photos moved across social media this weekend. There was the mother trapped on her roof with five children who were “running out of time,” and the pregnant woman who was in labor and unable to reach police. Miles away, on Houston’s northeast side, a photo emerged showing four children asleep on a counter in a flooded kitchen, including a little girl reportedly on a ventilator. “Still trying to get a water rescue,” the message said. “Please send some help quick.” Each heartbreaking story — shared widely on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as floodwaters swelled — offered some variation of the same message as Tropical Storm Harvey unleashed chaos across Houston: “Here’s my address — Please send help!” When social media was in its infancy, Americans watched in horror as Hurricane Katrina

First responders in Texas have been overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster. “Please don’t give up on us. None of us are going to give up,” Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said Monday. The head of Houston’s 911 emergency system, Joe Laud, said the average number of callers on hold hoping to speak to an operator had dropped to 10 Monday morning after hitting 250 during the height of Sunday’s flooding. He said the system had handled 75,000 calls. Don’t hang up, he implored residents — stay on the line. “We are processing the calls and hopefully help will be on the way,” Laud said. (TWP)

role that social media can play in large-scale disasters. Between Saturday night and Sunday morning, Twitter accounts normally reserved for photos of kids, dinner recipes and celebrity gossip were suddenly transformed into lifelines capturing people’s efforts to stay alive. “I have 2 children with me and the water is swallowing us up,” Maritza Ritz Willis tweeted in the early morning hours Sunday, along with her address. “911 is not responding!!!!!!” A little over an hour later, she had been saved. “The children and I are safe,” she tweeted. “Thank you everyone and thank you Facebook!!!!!! The miracles of social media. Forever grateful!!!” Many of the city’s local celebrities with hundreds of thousands of followers — such as rappers Paul Wall and Kirko Bangz — tried reposting pleas for help on their social media feeds in hopes of drawing rescuers’ attention, a tactic known as a “signal boost.” Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo instructed residents to continue using official channels to ask for help, but many social media users complained they couldn’t get through. The Facebook group “Hurricane Harvey Helping Hands” has multiple examples of homegrown rescuers posting photos of their boats and trucks along with their phone numbers. Police have also asked boat owners to use social media to help authorities with rescues. “The government can only do so much for a city of 7 million people,” said John Nova Lomax, a Houston resident and senior editor at Texas Monthly. “We have … a lot of people with boats and lifted trucks and there’s a Texas machismo here that says, ‘I’m not going to wait, I’m going to get out there and help people myself!’ “The difference with social media this time around is that it allows someone to pinpoint where the victims are,” Lomax added. “It’s actually helping.” PETER HOLLEY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

that’s rare in a batter on pace for 28 homers and 100 RBIs. The issue is not who is exactly best or in what order but that Rendon is seldom mentioned in discussions of the greatest in the game. But he is. Even though Rendon would hide in another room before he would admit that his five-tool talents have brought him to the top tier of his sport, that doesn’t mean his friends can’t make his case for him. That same “Anthony is my favorite player” T-shirt might be worn by any Nats player or several in the same game. With the media, Rendon deflects attention and often runs the risk of appearing rude with one- or two-word answers to basic questions — especially if they are about him. As part of that bargain with non-fame, Rendon allows himself to find joy in the game. In a sport that talks constantly about grinding, he seems to float unbothered, stress-free, smiling. Where other players would love to brand themselves in our minds for the sake of their wallets, Rendon seems to think of being branded as something you might do to cattle in his native Texas. “I’m the same person as you are.

The Nationals are trying to send a message, and they barely try to disguise the code. In fact, they often wear it on their chests. Michael A. Taylor wore a T-shirt under his uniform Sunday that said, “Anthony Is My Favorite Player,” with a big picture of third baseman Anthony Rendon’s face in the middle. Why? “He’s everybody’s favorite player, isn’t he?” Taylor said, straightfaced but with a sly smile. Wake up and watch Rendon. That’s what the T-shirt really means. He wasn’t one of the five players Washington sent to the All-Star Game, but there’s no better player on the Nats, not Max Scherzer or Bryce Harper. There may be no better player in the National League this year, not Paul Goldschmidt or Kris Bryant, not Anthony Rizzo, Joey Votto or Buster Posey. The extra factor with Rendon is that his game has only strengths, while almost all of his competitors have gaps. Rendon ranks among the 10 best fielders at any position in the league and is also a plus base runner. He walks as often as he strikes out, a gift for contact and situational hitting

Don’t treat me different.” Perhaps this view frees Rendon from some of the pressure that many pro athletes feel. Just look at how Rendon stands motionless in the batter’s box, bat on shoulder until the last moment, before assuming a stance so relaxed that it almost seems like a mere precursor to a real stance.

Burfict gets five-game ban NFL Linebacker Vontaze Burfict missed the first three games last season because of his hit to Antonio Brown’s head in the playoffs. Burfict will miss the first five this season because of another rattling hit, this time during a preseason game. The NFL has suspended the Bengals’ defensive leader for leveling a Chiefs running back in violation of player safety rules, the latest in Burfict’s history of egregious hits that have drawn fines and suspensions.

incomplete pass during a firstround playoff game in the 2015 season. The resulting personal foul moved the Steelers into field goal range in the closing seconds in an 18-16 victory. The Bengals released a statement Monday defending Burfict: “The film shows that the hit was legal, that Vontaze engaged his opponent from the front, and that contact was shoulder-to-chest.� A player doesn’t have to draw a penalty to be fined or suspended by the league. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy pointed out in an email to AP that the rulebook bans “unnecessary contact� against players who aren’t in position to defend themselves.

Nose tackle Taylor out for the season REDSKINS Washington’s defense suffered a blow Monday when the team learned that nose tackle Phil Taylor will miss the season after tearing his left quadriceps in Sunday’s third preseason game, two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed. Taylor will require surgery. A first-round pick out of Baylor in 2011, Taylor (6 feet 3, 343 pounds) hadn’t played a game since 2014. He spent the first four seasons of his career with the Browns. But he missed much of the 2014 season with a right knee injury that required surgery. After setbacks in 2015 and 2016, Taylor signed a non-guaranteed deal with the Redskins. After entering spring practices as the third nose tackle, behind Joey Mbu and A.J. Francis,
Taylor climbed the depth chart and appeared poised to lock up that starting job. He had displayed impressive quickness and strength as he rounded back into form. With Taylor done for the season, Redskins coaches now must settle on their next-best option. Ninth-year veteran Ziggy Hood has seen time at nose tackle and end. He’s the most experienced of the remaining candidates. Francis and Mbu, who both spent time on Washington’s practice squad last season, saw action at nose tackle when Taylor got hurt on his second play Sunday. Stacy McGee, a free agent addition this spring, played nose tackle for Oakland, but the Redskins have used him primarily as an end, believing he’s a better fit there. MIKE JONES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Make mornings count There are a few steps you can take to make that early workout routine a reality WELLNESS You’d probably love to be one of those people who consistently exercise after work. But life gets in the way, and your daily fitness routine goes out the window. A morning workout routine seem like an obvious answer, but how do you actually do it?
Sleep is your friend Yes, you can turn yourself into an early riser. But not overnight. “You have to adjust gradually,” says Dianne Augelli, a fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “The body can take an hour or less of [sleep schedule] change,” Augelli says. If you normally go to sleep at midnight and get up at 8 a.m., you will not feel rested if you suddenly switch your bedtime to 9 p.m. and get up at 5 a.m. (The American Sleep Association recommends seven to nine hours of sleep per night.) You probably won’t be able to
make yourself go to sleep that early anyway, Augelli says. Instead, change your sleep schedule by 30 minutes at a time, Augelli says. Start going to sleep at 11:30 p.m. and getting up at 7:30 a.m. Do that for about a week and then roll back another 30 minutes. Repeat until you land at your desired wake-up time without needing an afternoon nap.
Remove any obstacles
Do something fun
Look for extra motivations
Even if you wake up rested, how do you get motivated to go to a class or out for a run? Do something you enjoy. Melissa Westman-Cherry, 46, a D.C. resident and daily gymgoer, says that when she started working out a little over a decade ago, she chose Zumba classes: She needed a class that felt playful in addition to being physically strenuous. “It was a really fun class, and it got me into a routine,” she says.
Accountability and peer support can also help, says Leslie Swift, 48, a daily exerciser in the D.C. area. “If other people can get themselves out of bed, then so can I,” she says. Her other motivators: that first energizing cup of coffee, with just enough milk to give her fuel for the workout, and the high she feels during and after a workout. Becky Schechter, a 38-year-old D.C. resident and working mom with two young children, says
Westman-Cherry, for example, doesn’t consider herself a morning person, but getting her workout done early is the only way to fit it in. She makes sure she sets out her clothes, water and car keys the night before. “Plus, there’s a sense of pride in having accomplished so much so early in the morning,” she says.

she does best when someone else designs her strength-training routine, which is why she does a morning bootcamp twice a week when she’s not running.
Make consistency a priority “Exercise has to become a part of your lifestyle the same way that brushing your teeth is a daily routine,” says Art Weltman, chair of the department of kinesiology at the University of Virginia. Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise per day ay five times a week.

THINKSTOCK
Know your labels Reliable labels include “USDA Organic” and “Certified Organic.” Don’t be fooled by “natural” or “made with organic ingredients.” The latter means a product only has to be 70 percent organic.
2 Try a regular store You don’t have to go to a specialty store. Conventional grocery chains like Safeway and Giant sell organic foods, and their prices are often close to regular prices.
1 Use coupons Yes, coupons for organic foods do exist. In fact, most coupons offered for things like spaghetti sauce are also good for the organic version.

She’s home all day. Can’t she clean?
Q. My wife stays home with our preschooler and has no professional responsibilities, though she was an attorney before. Now she wants to get a cleaning person. I feel that since she is home, this is something she could do and we should not be paying someone else to maintain the home. This is a loaded topic, so I have just said we shouldn’t spend the money. NOT ENTHUSED Here’s the rub: There is no black-and-white delineation of what “maintaining the home” means. The only right answer is one that’s jointly agreed upon. Are you willing to help with these tasks, or just leave them to your wife? Listen to what’s going on for her now compared to before, and exactly what she’s hoping for. A monthly scrubdown? A weekly hand with
laundry? A more professionallooking “clean”? Child care can be a full job in its own right. It doesn’t make her a slacker that she can’t push your child on a swing set, answer an email and mop the floor simultaneously. Bottom line: Your spouse is asking for a reassessment of the delineation of household duties, and she knows them best. That’s always worth listening to.
are in the midst of a nasty separation: infidelity on both sides, my sister’s compulsive shopping, and their son has serious behavior issues. I have always liked my brotherin-law more than my sister. I also think their marriage not working is mostly her fault. She wants to complain constantly and turn him into the bad guy. She expects that as her sister, I will support her “woe is me” attitude and bash him. How do I handle this? WANT TO BE SUPPORTIVE, BUT …
Since they have a child, especially one who’s struggling, it’s critical for her to develop a functional relationship with her husband, and you can piggyback on this. Be honest that although you understand her need to vent about him, she’ll have to look elsewhere for that, because your focus is on your nephew and how his mother and father will co-parent as partners. Validate her feelings (“I can imagine this is really hard for you; I’m sure it’s beyond sad to go through, and you feel let down by him”) without pointing fingers (“The best thing for little Sammy is that you can find a way forward for him. How can I help you do that?”). Send questions to Dr. Andrea Bonior at baggage@wpost .com.

Hollywood confronts the Trump times MOVIES Movies take years to make, but many of this fall’s films may feel preternaturally programmed for the Trump era. While some have been in development for more than a decade, others have been fast-tracked since the election. Soon, moviegoers will have no shortage of films offering timely reflections on America. Writer-director Peter Landesman found himself making a film about the FBI battling White House interference while a curiously similar conflict played out between President Trump, the FBI and its former director James Comey. “Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House,” out Sept. 29, tells the story of Felt (Liam Neeson), the legendary Watergate source known as Deep Throat, who was the No. 2 official at the FBI during the scandal. It’s been in the works since 2005. “This movie could have been made 10 years ago or five years ago,” says Landesman. “The fact that it’s coming out this year has a supernatural rel relevance.” ellev evan a ce.
Similar parallels may also follow Steven Spielberg’s keenly awaited “The Post” (Dec. 22), about The Washington Post’s 1971 publishing of the classified Pentagon Papers, which revealed many of the government’s lies about the Vietnam War. The film, starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, was shot this summer. Several other films are coming that explore the intersection of patriotism and politics. Just as Trump revealed plans to send troops to the war in Afghanistan, films like Richard Linklater’s “Last Flag Flying” (Nov. 3) will contemplate the human cost of battle. The movie, a loosely connected bookend to Hal Ashby’s 1973 film “The Last Detail,” stars Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell and Laurence Fishburne as Marines reunited to bury a dead son killed in Iraq. There’s also “Thank You for Your Service” (Oct. 27), starring Miles Teller and Haley Bennett, about three soldiers returning from Iraq, fighting post-traumatic stress disorder. Other movies will recall civil rights icons. “Marshall,” bowing Oct. 13, stars Chadwick Boseman as a young Thurgood Marshall defending a black chauffeur in 1941 against his wealthy socialite employer in a sexu sexual assault and

For real escapism Fall’s movie season has more than politics on its mind. A string of big releases, including “Blade Runner 2049” (Oct. 6), “Thor: Ragnarok” (Nov. 3), “Justice League” (Nov. 17) and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (Dec. 15), could reverse this summer’s box office slide.

George Clooney’s “Suburbicon” (Oct. 27), which he directed from a script by Joel and Ethan Coen, is about a bucolic 1950s suburb with a violent and racist underbelly. Clooney says it’s about outof-control white male paranoia. “Trump got elected while we were shooting it,” he says. “A bunch of crew members came up to me and said, ‘It’s too bad it’s not coming out today.’ And I said, ‘Unfortunately these issues never get old.’ So, yes, it’s timely, but unfortunately it’s always timely.” JAKE COYLE (AP)

The powerful story behind Logic’s ‘1-800’ MUSIC At Sunday’s VMAs, rapper Logic shared the stage with suicide attempt survivors as he gave an emotional performance of “1-800-273-8255,” named after the suicide prevention hotline. Logic’s anthem, featuring Khalid and Alessia Cara, delivers a message of hope. “1-800-273-8255” is featured on “Everybody,” Logic’s third studio album, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 200 in May and explores a number of serious themes, including racism, politics and Logic’s own biracial identity. Logic explained the origins of the track in a video produced by Genius. “I think it was just a record that was years in the making,” the Gaithersburg, Md., native said. “Who really wants to write a song about suicide, you know? But I was like f--- it, I’m gonna do it.” Right after the song’s release in April, Logic addressed his intentions in several tweets, writing that “over the years so many of you guys have told me that my music has helped you through so many tough times.” Logic’s team coordinated with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline ahead of its release, and the organization’s director, John Draper, praised “1-800-2738255” in a statement earlier this year: “It’s an honor for us to be working alongside Logic to help people in despair find hope and meaning.” BETHONIE BUTLER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

trending “Mmm, nothing better than a farm fresh Amazon Echo at Whole Foods.” @JORDAN327, tweeting a picture of the “Farm Fresh” Amazon Echo
displays that showed up at Whole Foods stores across the country Monday. The tech displays looked out of place at the organic grocery chain, but they are part of Amazon’s strategy after buying the company. In addition, Amazon rolled out lower prices on groceries at Whole Foods on Monday. Bloomberg reported reductions of as much as 43 percent: For example, the price per pound of farmed Atlantic salmon fillets dropped from $14.99 to $9.99 — a roughly 33 percent decrease.

It was a break in style for the show, which often shows gratuitous sex scenes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A test of wills may develop, though you are not in the mood for any sort of rivalry. Try seeking a compromise.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll be asking all the right questions, but the answers may be slow in coming until you ask the right people.
TODAY: Low pressure intensifies off the Carolina coast, and as it tracks northward, we’ll see a pretty good chance of light to moderate showers. The best chance of steadier rain is south of D.C. Any showers should tend to diminish by this evening. We’ll stay breezy as well, with lows back down to the low to mid-60s.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll want to investigate a certain occurrence on your own in order to arrive at an objective conclusion. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your instincts will tell you to keep your distance from major events, but a part of you is going to want to become more directly involved.

“Drake & Josh” co-stars Drake Bell and Josh Peck appear to have reconciled their feud that began when Peck neglected to invite Bell to his June wedding. (Bell publicly shared his frustration on social media.) On Sunday, Bell and Peck shared on Instagram the same photo of themselves at the VMAs, in what seems like an emotional embrace. Both captioned the photo “Hug Hug me...” me..... .. ((EXPRESS)
COURT
Judge throws out suit over Vergara’s embryos A Louisiana judge dismissed the lawsuit brought by Sofia Vergara’s ex fiance, Nick Loeb, over their frozen embryos. Loeb and Vergara have been in a legal war over the embryos since they split in 2014. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the judge threw out the case because the embryos were conceived in California and neither star has ties to Louisiana. (EXPRESS)

“Baby girl, we don’t change. … We help other people to change so that they can see more kinds of beauty.”
Some celebrities aired disputes with one another at Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards. Taylor Swift debuted her “Look What You Made Me Do” music video, which was clad with references to her public feuds and bits of gossip about her. Fifth Harmony used its performance to diss former member Camila Cabello. When the foursome took the stage, a fifth person stood amid the group, but was thrown backward off the platform. Some also suspect host Katy Perry called out Swift: When recapping the show for viewers tuning in midway, Perry said, “Kendrick Lamar: on fire. Ed Sheeran’s friends: dead,” which might have been a nod to a Swift lyric that proclaims the “old Taylor” is “dead.” (EXPRESS)
