Is panda diplomacy at risk? ANIMALS In light of the U.S.-China trade war, the giant pandas could take on a high political profile. The National Zoo’s beloved black-and-white bears, which have delighted Washingtonians for generations, often have been on the world stage. But next year, the extended 20-year Chinese lease of the two adults — Mei Xiang, a female, and Tian Tian, a male — will be up Dec. 7. The zoo said it has not started discussions with the Chinese about the lease and could not speculate on an outcome. And the U.S. political landscape by late 2020 is a mystery. “Our agreements are based on science surrounding the giant pandas,” zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson said. “We’ve accomplished a lot over the last 40-plus years. Now both sides have to take a look at what the future science goals should be, and they go from there.” Chinese and American giant panda experts get on “exceptionally well,” she said.

U.S.-China trade war may imperil the animals’ future in Washington
Giant panda Mei Xiang was sent from China to the National Zoo in 2000.
The zoo’s only other giant panda, Bei Bei, who turned 4 on Aug. 22, is slated to be gone within the next few months. By prior agreement with the Chinese, all giant panda cubs born in U.S. zoos must be sent to a breeding program in China once they turn 4. Should giant pandas be caught up in relations between China and the United States, it would not be the first time. During World War II, China gave New York’s Bronx Zoo two

pandas in gratitude for American war relief. Then in February 1972, at a dinner in Beijing, first lady Patricia Nixon told Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai how fond she was of giant pandas, and Zhou said he would give the U.S. some. The offer of the pandas was part of a historic thaw in U.S.-China relations. That April, China gifted the United States two young giant pandas: Ling-Ling, a female, and Hsing-Hsing, a male. The pandas were a delight for more than two decades, drawing millions of visitors and putting the animal on par with cherry blossoms as a symbol of Washington. Ling-Ling died in 1992, and Hsing-Hsing died in 1999. In 2000, China sent the zoo Mei Xiang and Tian Tian on a 10-year, $10 million lease. In 2011 and 2015, additional deals were reached to keep the pandas in Washington. Mei Xiang has birthed three surviving cubs: the males Tai Shan and Bei Bei, and the female Bao Bao. Tai Shan was born July 9, 2005, and now lives in China. Bao Bao was born Aug. 23, 2013, and was moved to China in 2017. MICHAEL E. RUANE (THE WASHINGTON POST)

D.C. unveils safe bike lanes on Florida Ave. SALWAN GEORGES (THE WASHINGTON POST)
THE DISTRICT A D.C. police officer notified two city agencies that a rowhouse appeared to be illegally rented months before two tenants died in a fire, but his warnings of “life safety violations” went largely unheeded, city administrator Rashad Young said Tuesday. Young said an inspector with the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs visited 708 Kennedy St. NW three times after getting the complaint in March but could not enter. Young said the inspector sent a letter to the owner but took no further action. He said fire department inspectors failed to act on complaints about the rowhouse, which lacked a permit for rentals. Fitsum Kebede, 40, who came to the United States from Ethiopia more than a decade ago, and his son Yafet Solomon, 9, described as one of the “brightest stars” at Barnard Elementary School, died after being pulled from the burning house on Aug. 18. “It is clear that our agencies should have done more to better protect our residents,” Young said. An independent audit is being conducted to uncover flaws and fix them, officials said, and a total of four employees from both agencies have been put on leave. The officer had responded to

the house for a landlord-tenant dispute. He wrote in a report that the building appeared to be an unlicensed rooming house and had potential fire code violations. Sunday’s fire started in the basement of the house in Brightwood Park. Kebede died the same day as the fire; Yafet died two days later. Investigators have not determined the fire’s cause. Officials said the U.S. attorney’s office has launched a criminal investigation. DCRA officials had initially said inspectors had never gone to the property because no complaints were filed. But officials said on Tuesday that they subsequently searched for emails
and records listing that address and found several from the police officer. D.C. Mayor MuSolomon riel Bowser, D, on Wednesday expressed confidence in DCRA. Asked if she was satisfied with her government’s handling of the matter, she replied “no” but showed support for agency director Ernest Chrappah. “I think [he] has already put in some better management practices so that the employees and communications among our agencies have backstops and checks,” Bowser said.

The D.C. Department of Transportation on Wednesday morning unveiled safety improvements to nine blocks of Florida Avenue in Northeast, according to a WTOP report. The upgrades include two adjacent protected bike lanes on the street’s south side, as well as new signals and signs, and rubber parking stops to prevent vehicles from crossing into bike lanes. The D.C. Council pushed the city to urgently address safety on the street, near Gallaudet University, after a cyclist died there in April. A pedestrian also died on Florida Avenue in 2013. The city is working on permanent improvements to the corridor, which are currently in the design phase, according to WTOP. Construction is set to start in spring 2021. (EXPRESS)

health and human services to help the city’s 25 libraries better serve the city’s roughly 6,500 homeless residents. Early last year, she pulled three “peer specialists,” including Hines, from D.C.’s Department of Behavioral Health, which hires people who have dealt with homelessness and other challenges to apply those experiences to supporting others. Badalamenti estimates the library system’s specialists have helped between 10 and 15 homeless residents secure transitional or permanent housing, and 30 more clients have gone to shelters. Hines can rattle off her personal tally with pride: one in permanent housing, two in rapid rehousing, two in transitional housing, three in shelters and three in drug treatment programs. She and her colleagues also help clients secure or renew their ID cards, access substance abuse and mental health services, and

get around with the help of preloaded SmarTrip cards. “My first day it was like, Wow, I can give them something to look forward to,” Hines said. According to a city report in May, 6,521 adults and 815 families lack housing. The peer program aims to serve those groups, but its scope is limited. Northwest One, for instance, doesn’t have a private office for the specialists, so they meet with clients in the open. Funding is tight too. The program this year got $91,000 from the city — enough to pay specialists $570 per week for 30 hours of work. Badalamenti hopes the D.C.
Man, 50, charged with being a peeping Tom at Macy’s department store in Springfield, Va.
Council will allot funds to expand the team and make Hines and colleagues full-time employees. Badalamenti has seen indications of the program’s growth. Libraries’ public safety employees have begun referring patrons to Hines and her colleagues. Badalamenti has fielded requests from other libraries for visits from the peer specialists. Last Wednesday, Hines met with Leonard, a frequent visitor. He’s been homeless for a year, and has recently taken to scouting Craigslist and walking the streets looking for housing. Hines started seeing Leonard last year, when he saw a flyer about her at the Shaw Library. He said he’s been keeping busy with volunteering and computer classes. “I don’t want to be sitting around watching closedcaptioned TV,” he said. Hines reminded him of one of their early conversations: “Like I told you at the beginning: It’s a process.” MARK LIEBERMAN (EXPRESS)

THE DISTRICT On a recent Wednesday, Renee Hines sat in D.C.’s Northwest One Library near Mount Vernon Triangle, ready to greet people experiencing homelessness who had lined up to see her. Their challenges are familiar to Hines. She started abusing alcohol and drugs, including cocaine and heroin, at 14. She was arrested a handful of times for drug possession and theft. After her most recent arrest in 1999, a judge sent her to a drug treatment program, where she got clean. She stayed that way until 2006, when she broke her leg in a car accident and got addicted to pain medications. She was homeless for more than a year, sleeping in her car for much of 2012 to 2014. Today, thanks to substance abuse and mental health counseling, Hines is clean and living in an apartment in Southeast D.C.’s Marshall Heights neighborhood. “I’m 56 years old,” Hines said. “I started getting my life together at 52.” To her clients, she repeats often, “If I can do it, so can you.” Hines is one of three peer outreach specialists who fan out across 11 D.C. libraries each week to connect the city’s most vulnerable residents to programs and services, and to lend a friendly face and sympathetic ear. Some homeless visitors to the library, or outdoor spaces nearby, regularly seek her counsel and refer her to their friends. Others are more reticent, or don’t realize they could use help. Hines simply greets them until they open up — however long it takes. “I’m just trying to have a conversation,” Hines said. In 2014, the D.C. Public Library system hired Jean Badalamenti as assistant manager of
MARYLAND Montgomery County has expressed interest in a massive Amazon warehouse after the tech giant announced last week that it would not be located in Prince George’s County, officials said Wednesday. Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, D, revealed at a virtual town hall with residents on Monday that he was reaching out to Amazon about its plans to relocate the fulfillment center. Ohene Gyapong, Elrich’s spokesperson, added that the executive is “interested in understanding Amazon’s needs to see if there’s a match.” Amazon declined to confirm or deny Elrich’s comments. Officials in Prince George’s County first indicated in July that Amazon was planning to build a giant logistics and supply center in Upper Marlboro, not far away from its new headquarters planned for Northern Virginia. But last week, following public meetings where residents expressed their opposition, Amazon announced that it was no longer considering the Prince George’s Westphalia subdivision. (Amazon founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post and Express.)

Johnson’s suspension of Parliament cuts time for debate, drawing fury

Government forces push into key port city of Aden
MATT DUNHAM (AP)
LONDON British Prime Minister Boris Johnson maneuvered Wednesday to give his political opponents even less time to block a chaotic no-deal Brexit before the Oct. 31 withdrawal deadline, winning Queen Elizabeth II’s approval to suspend Parliament. His critics were outraged. Though Johnson previously had refused to rule out such a move, the timing of the decision took lawmakers — many of whom are on vacation — by surprise. Johnson insisted he was taking the step so he could outline his domestic agenda, and he shot down the notion that he was curbing debate, saying there would be “ample time” to discuss Brexit. Lawmakers reacted with fury, including John Bercow, speaker of the lower House of Commons, who was not told in advance of Johnson’s plan. “Shutting down Parliament would be an offense against the democratic process and the rights of parliamentarians as the people’s elected representatives,” Bercow said. “Surely at this early stage in his premiership, the prime minister should be seeking to establish rather than undermine his democratic credentials and indeed his commitment to parliamentary democracy.” The main opposition Labour
Protesters gather outside Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s home Wednesday after he moved to suspend Parliament.
Party leader Jeremy Corbyn wrote to the queen to protest “in the strongest possible terms on behalf of my party, and I believe all the other opposition parties are going to join in with this.” The monarch, however, kept with her steadfast refusal to get involved in politics. The House of Commons will convene from Sept. 3-10 and then was scheduled to go on a break until Oct. 9 — though lawmakers had suggested they might cancel that break and stay in session because of the Brexit crisis. Johnson said he decided to ask the queen to give her speech that outlines the government’s legislative agenda on Oct. 14, and she approved suspending Parliament for a total of 32 days
between Sept. 12 and Oct. 14. That makes it unlikely t he l aw m a kers would have enough time to Johnson pass laws blocking the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union without a negotiated divorce deal by Oct. 31. The EU is adamant it will not renegotiate the agreement struck with former Prime Minister Theresa May on the terms of Britain’s departure and the framework of future relations. Without such a deal, Britain faces a chaotic Brexit that economists warn would disrupt trade by imposing tariffs and customs checks between Britain and the
bloc, send the value of the pound plummeting and plunge the U.K. into recession. Hundreds of people packed College Green outside Parliament on Wednesday, waving EU flags and placards to express their anger. A petition on a government website demanding that Parliament not be suspended has gotten more than 100,000 signatures — guaranteeing that it will be considered for debate. Lawmakers already are asking a Scottish court to rule that suspending Parliament is illegal. If that fails, pro-EU legislators are also planning to try to pass a law banning a no-deal Brexit, although the government has now sharply limited their time to do that. DANICA KIRKA (AP)

Fiery attack kills 26 in Mexico bar
COATZACOALCOS, MEXICO An attack on a bar in Mexico’s Gulf Coast city of Coatzacoalcos killed 26 people and injured about a dozen, officials said Wednesday, and they said it was apparently overseen by a man who had been recently arrested but released. “The criminals went in, closed the doors, the emergency exits, and set fire to the place,” President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said at his daily morning news conference. Veracruz state police said the Tuesday night attack targeted the Bar Caballo Blanco, or White Horse Bar. It advertised “quality, security and service,” private rooms for $7.50 “all night,” and “sexy girls.” It is located just off a busy commercial street in Coatzacoalcos,
a city whose main industry has long been oil and oil refining. “This is the most inhuman thing possible,” López Obrador said. “It is regrettable that organized crime acts in this manner,” he said, adding, “It is more regrettable that there may be collusion with authorities.” Local prosecutors, he said, should be investigated because “the alleged perpetrators had been arrested, but they were freed.” Gov. Cuitláhuac García identified the chief suspect as a man known as “La Loca” and gave his name as Ricardo “N,’’ because officials no longer give the full names of suspects. Anti-crime activist and businessman Raul Ojeda said the attack had all the hallmarks of an unmet demand for extortion payments. MARK STEVENSON (AP)

It’s not just an eye on your porch
Epstein accuser: Prince Andrew must speak up
TECHNOLOGY The doorbell-camera company Ring has quietly forged videosharing partnerships with more than 400 police forces across the United States, granting them access to homeowners’ camera footage and a powerful role in what the company calls the nation’s “new neighborhood watch.” The partnerships let police automatically request the video recorded by homeowners’ cameras within a specific time and area, helping officers see footage from the company’s millions of internet-connected cameras installed nationwide, the company said. Officers don’t receive ongoing or live-video access, and homeowners can decline the requests, which Ring sends via email thanking them for “making your neighborhood a safer place.” The number of police deals, which has not previously been reported, is likely to fuel broader questions about privacy, surveillance and the reach of tech giants and local police. The rapid growth of the program, which began in spring 2018, surprised some civil liberties advocates. Ring is owned by Amazon, which bought the firm last year for more than $800 million, financial filings show. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post and Express. Ring officials and law enforcement partners portray the vast
camera network as an irrepressible shield for neighborhoods, saying it can assist police investigators and protect homes from criminals, intruders and thieves. “The mission has always been making the neighborhood safer,” said Eric Kuhn, the general manager of Neighbors, Ring’s crime-focused companion app. “We’ve had a lot of success in terms of deterring crime and solving crimes that would otherwise not be solved as quickly.” But legal experts and privacy advocates have voiced alarm about the company’s eyeseverywhere ambitions and increasingly close relationship with police, saying the program could threaten civil liberties, turn residents into informants, and subject innocent people to greater surveillance and potential risk. “If the police demanded every citizen put a camera at their door and give officers access to it, we might all recoil,” said Andrew Guthrie Ferguson, a law professor and author of “The Rise of Big Data Policing.” By tapping into “a perceived need for more self-surveillance and by playing on consumer fears about crime and security,” he added, Ring has found “a clever workaround for the development of a wholly new surveillance network, without the kind of scrutiny that would happen if it was coming from the

CRIME An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein who claims she was also delivered to Britain’s Prince Andrew for paid sex as a teenager has challenged the British royal to speak up, saying: “He knows exactly what he’s done and I hope he comes clean about it.” The jet-setting middle son of Queen Elizabeth II was a longtime friend of the financier, who killed himself while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. But the prince strenuously denies any knowledge of criminal behavior by Epstein and has described himself as “appalled” by allegations from many women who accused Epstein of sexual abuse. Among them is Virginia Roberts Giuffre. She has said she was a 15-year-old working at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club when she was recruited to perform sex acts on Epstein. Giuffre said in a sworn affidavit that she was flown on Epstein’s private planes to his properties in New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Paris and New York, and said meetings were also arranged for sex in London and elsewhere with Prince Andrew. Buckingham Palace officials previously denied Andrew had any sexual involvement with Giuffre. The palace said Wednesday it had no comment. A photo in court records shows Andrew with his arm around Giuffre’s waist. She claims she first met the prince when she was 17. (AP)

Purdue, Sacklers could pay $12B, create public trust for opioid victims COURTS Purdue Pharma and the thousands of state and local governments suing the maker of OxyContin over the nation’s deadly opioid crisis are negotiating a $10 billion to $12 billion settlement under which the Sackler family would give up ownership of the company, according to published reports. Under the proposal now on the table, the Sacklers would contribute $3 billion of their own money toward the total, and the company would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and transform itself into a “public beneficiary trust,” with all profits from drug sales going to the plaintiffs, The New York Times reported Wednesday. It said a document outlining the tentative agreement was described to the newspaper. Also, Purdue Pharma would supply its addiction treatment drugs free to the public, and the Sacklers would sell another pharmaceutical company, Mundipharma, which would add $1.5 billion to the settlement, The Times said.

A rush to finish the wall By any means, Trump wants hundreds of miles of border fence built by Election Day
Dorian hits U.S. Virgin Islands as a hurricane
CAROLYN VAN HOUTEN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
IMMIGRATION President Trump is so eager to complete hundreds of miles of border fence ahead of the 2020 presidential election that he has directed aides to fast-track billions of dollars’ worth of construction contracts, aggressively seize private land and disregard environmental rules, according to current and former officials involved with the project. He also has told worried subordinates that he will pardon them of any potential wrongdoing should they have to break laws to get the barriers built quickly, those officials said. Trump has repeatedly promised to complete 500 miles of fencing by the time voters go to the polls in November 2020. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has completed just about 60 miles of “replacement” barrier during the first 2½ years of Trump’s presidency, all of it in areas that previously had border infrastructure. The president has told senior aides that a failure to deliver on the signature promise of his 2016 campaign would be a letdown to his supporters and an embarrassing defeat. With the election 14 months away and hundreds of miles of fencing plans still in blueprint form, Trump has held regular White House meetings for progress updates and to hasten the pace, according to several people involved in the discussions. When aides have suggested that some orders are illegal or unworkable, Trump has suggested he would pardon the officials if they would just go ahead, aides said. He has waved off worries about contracting procedures and the use of eminent domain, saying, “take the land,” according to officials who attended the meetings.
Construction begins this month along the U.S.-Mexico border, where the new border wall will replace old fencing.
Asked for comment, a White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Trump is joking when he makes such statements about pardons. Deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said Tuesday that the president is protecting the country with the addition of new border barriers. “Donald Trump promised to secure our border with sane, rational immigration policies to make American communities safer, and that’s happening everywhere the wall is being built,” Gidley said. Trump’s determination to build the barriers as quickly as possible has not diminished his interest in the aesthetic aspects of the project, particularly the requirement that the looming steel barriers be painted black and topped with sharpened tips. In a meeting at the White House on May 23, Trump ordered the Army Corps and the Department of Homeland Security to paint the
Diverting funds to wall Defense Secretary Mark Esper is expected to approve a White House request to divert $3.6 billion in Pentagon funds to the barrier project in coming weeks, money that Trump sought after lawmakers refused to allocate $5 billion. The funds will be pulled from Defense Department projects in 26 states, according to administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the matter. (TWP)
structure black, according to internal communications reviewed by The Washington Post. According to the internal analysis, painting or coating 175 miles of barriers “will add between $70 million and $133 million in cost,” trimming the amount of fencing the Army Corps will be able to install by 4 to 7 miles. Trump conceded last year in an immigration meeting with
Thousands of Palestinians take part in funerals for three Hamas policemen killed in rare Gaza City attacks
lawmakers that a wall or barrier is not the most effective mechanism to curb illegal immigration, recognizing it would accomplish less than a major expansion of U.S. enforcement powers and deportation authority. But he told lawmakers that his supporters want a wall and that he has to deliver it. The companies building the fencing and access roads have been taking heavy earth-moving equipment into environmentally sensitive border areas adjacent to U.S. national parks and wildlife preserves, but the administration has waived procedural safeguards and impact studies, citing national security concerns. “They don’t care how much money is spent, whether landowners’ rights are violated, whether the environment is damaged, the law, the regs or even prudent business practices,” the senior official said.

WEATHER Dorian became a Category 1 hurricane on Wednesday as it struck the U.S. Virgin Islands, with forecasters saying it could grow to Category 3 status as it nears the U.S. mainland as early as the weekend. The British Virgin Islands and the Puerto Rican islands of Vieques and Culebra were also in Dorian’s path, the first major test of emergency preparedness for the U.S. territory since the 2017 devastation of Hurricane Maria, though the main island appeared to have been spared the brunt of the storm. At 2 p.m. EDT, Dorian was located over St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said it had maximum sustained winds of 75 mph while moving northwest at 13 mph. The Hurricane Center said the storm could grow into a dangerous Category 3 storm as it pushes northwest in the general direction of Florida. Dennis Feltgen, a National Hurricane Center meteorologist in Miami, said Dorian may grow in size and could land anywhere from South Florida to South Carolina on Sunday or Monday. People in Florida were starting to get ready for a possible Labor Day strike, with county governments along Florida’s east-central coast distributing sandbags and many residents rushing to warehouse retailers to load up on water, canned food and supplies.

Tonight could be rookie Dwayne Haskins’ last game for a while.
ALEX BRANDON (AP)
U.S. OPEN
RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
A finale worth watching Preseason finales are normally a complete waste of time, but Redskins rookie Dwayne Haskins will give fans something worth watching when Washington hosts the Ravens at 7:30 tonight on NBCSW. The first-round draft pick will play his last game for maybe a while, since Case Keenum was named the starter for next week’s regular-season opener. Look for signs of improvement in Haskins’ footwork, eyes downfield and ability to throw into passing lanes. Otherwise, it’ll be a long night for long-shot dreams. Here are five things we learned from the preseason.
Offense sputters
Haskins is close
Special teams woes
Youth awaits
More small crowds
Remember how boring quarterback Alex Smith’s offense was last year? It cranked out long drives, hogged time of possession and started 6-3 before he got injured. Fans hated that offense without appreciating its value. Well, the sequel is here with Case Keenum. Washington should run the ball better with two prime backs and third-down specialist Chris Thompson. It has a handful of good receivers. The passer is experienced and can handle short-range throws. But the offense has sputtered with the left side of the line uncertain and tight end Jordan Reed injured.
Everyone talked about patience with Haskins, but he’s not a long-term project. Sure, he showed up with two left feet and a blindness to defenders lurking in passing lanes, but every week the firstrounder has improved. Another few weeks working as the scout team passer and observing Keenum should have the Ohio State product ready for the league. When the Redskins are likely out of playoff contention after an expected poor start, Haskins will be the reason to keep watching. He has the arm and legs to make any play. All he needs now is experience.
The Redskins have rare continuity with punter Tress Way, kicker Dustin Hopkins and long snapper Nick Sundberg together for the fifth straight season. Hopkins is the first Redskins kicker to reach a half decade since Chip Lohmiller departed in 1994. The extremely consistent Way enters his sixth season with the team, and Sundberg is an ironman, starting his 10th year. They’re not the problem. The coverage units are suspect, allowing two punt returns for touchdowns in preseason play. Meanwhile, the team seems lost for a punt and kick returner.
This could be a tale of two seasons, but coach Jay Gruden is relying on veterans and hoping for a successful start. If it fails badly, a youth movement should arrive around the sixth game against Miami on Oct. 13. Until then, Gruden won’t be putting his job in the hands of rookies. He recently said, “We’re never going to cut a guy that’s a better player than a young guy with potential. Potential gets you cut. It gets you beat. So we’ve got to play guys that are good now.” Thus, a handful of young players must wait their turn.
Last year was the Redskins’ worst attendance in a half century. Most times, it seemed like there were only 30,000 home fans and the rest were visitors. By season’s end, it was 60,000 Eagles fans and 10,000 Redskins backers. With maybe about 10,000 people at the preseason home opener and another lackluster season brewing, there probably won’t be much of a home crowd. The only home games where Washington supporters will likely be the majority could be versus the Lions and Jets. The Redskins badly need a series of good years to set up their next stadium in 2027.
Kyrgios calls ATP corrupt after victory Nick Kyrgios got a code violation Tuesday night at the U.S. Open for swearing and confronting an umpire during his straight-sets win over Steve Johnson. In the post-match news conference, he was asked about whether the $113,000 fine he incurred over his antics at the Cincinnati Masters affected his performance. “Not at all. ATP’s pretty corrupt, anyway, so I’m not fussed about it at all,” Kyrgios said. Now the ATP is considering whether Kyrgios has committed a “major offense,” punishable by a fine and a suspension of up to a year. Kyrgios tweeted Wednesday that he didn’t mean to use the word “corrupt” but that he still has a problem with the way the ATP doles out punishment. (TWP)

NFL Sundays are for watching the world’s best players at their peak, executing the closest thing there is to perfect football. But Saturdays are where the real fun lies: turnover chains, inexplicable upsets, septuple overtime. Before my career took me to land-grant meccas like College Station, Texas, and Iowa City, Iowa, my early life in Lawrence, Kan., also revolved around a university. Now I’m bringing my love for NCAA sports (and my dislike of the NCAA) to D.C. My column celebrates the delightfully unpolished, hilariously chaotic world of college football. Look for it every Thursday.

Late-night football
Quarterbacks, including some familiar faces, dominate the race this year. Jalen Hurts transferred to Oklahoma for more playing time, a tactic that worked for the past two Heisman winners, Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield. Bovada has him with the fourth-best odds to win. Last year, Hurts lost his starting job at Alabama to Tua Tagovailoa, who finished with the most points of any runner-up in Heisman history. He begins this season atop the odds. Trevor Lawrence, who led Clemson to a national title last season, is second. Third is Justin Fields, named Ohio State’s starter this month.
Nebraska opens the season ranked No. 24 after a 4-8 season, making it the only ranked team coming off a sub-.500 record. The Huskers hadn’t appeared in the preseason top 25 since 2014. So what makes this year different? Nebraska’s young talent. Sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez is poised for a breakout season. It also manages to avoid Penn State, Michigan and Michigan State in the regular season. Watch second-year coach Scott Frost try to return his alma mater to its 1990s glory, starting with an easy game against South Alabama (noon Saturday, ESPN).
Week 0 did not go well for Arizona (0-1). Sure, it’s not easy to travel nearly 3,000 miles to play Hawaii in a game that ended after 2 a.m. EST and 11 p.m. Arizona time. And sure, Khalil Tate was less than a yard short of tying up the game on the final play. But the Wildcats were sloppy at times and failed to capitalize on six Hawaii turnovers. With the likes of No. 13 Washington, No. 25 Stanford, No. 11 Oregon and No. 14 Utah on the schedule, this team would be lucky to end the season with five wins. Second-year coach Kevin Sumlin, above, has one of the hottest seats in college football.
While No. 11 Oregon will travel much farther to Other Arlington (in Texas) than No. 16 Auburn will, it’s still a true neutral-site game (7:30 p.m. Saturday, ABC) that could reveal which team is ready to compete on a national level. Oregon has one of the nation’s best quarterbacks in Justin Herbert, above, and a win would likely bolster the Ducks’ strength of schedule — given how weak the Pac-12 usually is compared to other conferences. The Tigers have never lost to a Pac-12 opponent. (When they lost to USC in 2003 the conference was still called the Pac-10.)
A uniquely East Coast joy is watching West Coast college teams well into the night. An extremely online contingent of fans have dubbed #Pac12AfterDark, and this week it starts on a school night. BYU hosts No. 14 Utah at 10:15 tonight on ESPN, a matchup still called the Holy War years after the Red River Shootout became a “rivalry” and the Kansas-Missouri Border War was downgraded to a “showdown.” The Utes are favored to win the Pac-12, and return their entire two-deep defensive line, including projected earlyround NFL draft pick Leki Fotu, above.

Del Florida migrates from across the pond with an eclectic sound MUSIC Leela Dawson was 4 years old when she first wanted piano lessons, but there was one problem: The teacher told her parents that she had to learn the alphabet before she could be taught. Undaunted, the young Dawson went home and learned her ABCs that week. She started writing songs at 10
and taught herself guitar at 13, but when she wanted to form a band, she hit another wall. “I asked everybody if they wanted to be in a band, but nobody would, because I was a girl, because I wasn’t cool enough,” Dawson remembers. That’s not a problem for the singer-songwriter these days. The 25-year-old D.C. native fronts soul-pop band Del Florida, which will open for New York rock act Kindo on Thursday at DC9.

The Beatles, Queen, Yes and the Beach Boys. Those vanguards have influenced her approach to music-making. Alongside her bandmates in the now D.C.-based Del Florida (a
new incarnation, since her Liverpudlian bandmates didn’t make the trip to the United States), Dawson delivers rich, soulful vocals over productions that are at times funky, effervescent or gentle. Debut album “Mister Above,” released this year, showcases the band’s anything-goes sound. Dawson even borrowed a technique from Queen, singing harmonies with a pair of vocal partners and layering them until there were as many as 30 tracks of background vocals on a single song. “I know we’re not the ‘Queen sound’,” she says, “[but] I wanted it to be really big.” CHRIS KELLY (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

In recent years, Massachusetts native Garrett Gleason, 29, has built a reputation as one of D.C.’s most versatile guitarists, playing experimental, jazzy music throughout the city. But in September, he’ll hit the road for 11 months to play guitar in the national tour of Broadway’s surf rock-inspired “The SpongeBob Musical.” He also just dropped two works of instrumental music: an album-length collaboration with Japanese drummer Tetsuya Ueda, “The Joy of Melting,” and a solo EP, “Guitar Songs.” Gleason will celebrate both — and say farewell, for now, to D.C. — with a show at Gypsy Sally’s (3401 K St. NW; Sun., 8:30 p.m., $12-$14). Music fills Gleason’s ideal D.C. day as he heads down from his home in Wheaton, Md. “I would perform some music of my own or do improvisational stuff with people because it’s just the best feeling,” he says. I’d start by improvising for a bit on the guitar to get some juices flowing. I would stop at Donut King for my favorite breakfast sandwich, BELTCH, which is a BLT, add egg and cheese. It’s just bonkers. I’ll get that and an Americano and then hop on the Red Line. I’d stop at the Takoma Park
Farmers Market and get fruit and veggies to snack on for the day. Recently, the nectarines there were so mind-blowing — those and the cherry tomatoes and the blueberries. I’ll eat those as a meal for a week. I won’t get sick of them.
I’d probably go to Rock Creek Park and walk around. For most
I’d grab a coffee at Songbyrd Music House and see if there’s any music happening. They also have a killing record selection, a lot of deep cuts of D.C. music that you can’t find anywhere else. A place I discovered this year through playing duet shows there with [trombonist] Shannon Gunn is Spaceycloud. It’s this vegetarian restaurant/ bar that’s also a skate shop that has a room inside that people skateboard in. It’s nuts. The M.O. isn’t a music venue but they have music there. I would head back up the street to Madam’s Organ to hang with [guitarist] Rico Amero Sr., who would either be playing with his group, running sound or running an open mic. And I’d have the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and the avocado salad. I would abandon Adams Morgan and head to Georgetown to go to Gypsy Sally’s for the [biweekly] open jam.

Film critic J. Hoberman imparts the lessons of his trip back to the ’80s BOOKS “Ghostbusters,” “Fatal Attraction,” “Back to the Future” and “Scarface” might not be universally recognized as the best movies of the 1980s. But to film critic J. Hoberman, renowned for his writing in the Village Voice, they’re among the films that most clearly tell the story of that decade. His new book “Make My Day: Movie Culture in the Age of Reagan” is the third in a series of esHoberman say collections in which Hoberman explores a crucial period in American history, using popular movies of the day as reference points. The first book tackled the ’60s via movies like “The Wild Bunch” and “Bonnie and Clyde,” and the second examined the post-World War II period that laid the groundwork for the Cold War. This volume is different for Hoberman, who will discuss the book Thursday at Politics and Prose. Hoberman, 70, started his career as a professional film critic in the 1980s, reviewing many of the films covered in the new book as they were released in theaters. Now he’s looking back at that period with fresh eyes. “I was a young person then,” Hoberman says. “These were my movies. It was a lot of fun to revisit them.” Here’s wh at Hober m a n learned in the process of excavating cinema’s past — and his own.
Political beliefs grow more complex with age Hoberman was an avowed skeptic of Reagan the movie star as well as Reagan the politician. His ideological opposition hasn’t softened, but research for this book

gave h i m new insight i nto wh at Reagan accomplished rhetorically with his “incredibly reassuring and folksy tone.” “In a certain sense, he’s Hollywood’s greatest triumph. He’s a guy who had completely internalized the overwhelming ideology of American entertainment,” Hoberman says. “He was the movies, in a way.”
6biXe\aZ cb_\g\Vf TaW entertainment together wasn’t always fashionable Hoberman recalls his Village Voice colleagues chastising him for a series of essays he wrote drawing connections between Reagan’s comfort in front of cameras with his political achievements. “They really thought what I was doing was self-indulgent,” he says. “I really didn’t care.”
Hoberman had the last laugh, he says. By the late ’80s and early ’90s, entertainment journalists like Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich had begun contributing to political coverage, and the divide between the two worlds narrowed. “What I was doing became a more accepted and mainstream approach,” he says.
@bi\X fgTef Wba·g WXiX_bc in a vacuum To Hoberman, it’s no coincidence that the leading movie stars during Reagan’s presidency were Sylvester Stallone, Clint Eastwood and Arnold Schwarzenegger. “They were all men’s men, with a tiny bit of irony — no counterculture nonsense such as you might find in [Robert] Redford, [Paul] Newman or especially [Warren] Beatty.” They had more tangible connections as well: Eastwood has said Reagan inspired him to run for mayor of Carmel, Calif., and Stallone once tried unsuccessfully to present Reagan with a Rambo poster during one of the

Asked what movies he might write about for a 21st-century complement to his books, Hoberman named these works. M.L.

Hoberman decided to focus on Reagan for his book on ’80s cinema because the movies on their own, from his view, weren’t as thematically rich as the ones covered in his previous books, which examined the entertainment industry’s experimental phases in the ’60s and ’70s. He attributes the decline in part to studios’ increasing focus on marketing to teenage boys. Hoberman thinks movies today have become “a minority taste,” like opera — many people still go see them, but they’re no longer a consistent draw for a mass audience, thanks to the accessibility of cultural content on streaming platforms. “I don’t see how movies can compete with that,” he says.

These devices counted for a lot Would Apple have invented the iPad if it weren’t for the WorkSlate, a tablet computer launched by Convergent Technologies in 1983 that assisted with spreadsheets but also functioned as an answering machine, calculator, alarm and more? Well, yeah, it would have, because the WorkSlate failed to catch on and vanished. But it was still a step forward and signaled the gadgets to come. ¶ “My Computing Devices,” an exhibit that opened Wednesday at the National Museum of American History, features a WorkSlate and 35 or so other mechanical and electric objects from the Smithsonian’s collection to not only show how they helped launch the digital age, but also to explain
1878
how our relationship with them evolved. ¶ “Often when people think of what’s historic, they think of
Verea Calculating Machine (Patent Office model)
something that’s associated with a political campaign or a famous person,” says Peggy A. Kidwell, a curator in the museum’s division of medicine and science. “But the things people use in their ordinary lives are also part of history.” ¶ The exhibit’s objects range from an 1840 teaching abacus to a 2013 pair of Google Glasses, primarily delivering an overview of the devices Americans have used to crunch numbers. Some offered calculating functions, like an early-20th-century slide rule and a Little Professor children’s calculator from the late 1970s. Others are games, like Simon, which tests your memory by having you repeat a steadily increasing sequence of tones and lights. ¶ Here is a closer look at five objects at the heart of the exhibition.

This was the only invention of Ramón Verea, a man born and educated in Spain before he moved to Cuba, then to New York City, where he published a Spanish newspaper. This machine, for which Verea received a U.S. patent in 1878, was one of the first that could multiply two numbers directly. Older machines used repeated addition to do the math, so if the user wanted to multiply 3 by 2, he or she would set the machine to 3 and turn the crank twice. With Verea’s machine, that equation required only one turn of the crank. While his creation never made it into production, it marked an important advance in computing and popularized direct multiplication machines. “He was trying to invent a machine that would show that a Spaniard could invent as well as an American,” Kidwell says.

Nannie Helen Burroughs’ cash register From 1909 until her death in 1961, Nannie Helen Burroughs served as president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, which she founded for black women around the world. Burroughs used this elegant 1904 cash register (emblazoned with her name) to train students at her Northeast D.C. school, which paired vocational training with junior high and high school academics. Burroughs’ customized machine was made by the National Cash Register Company of Dayton, Ohio. The daughter of formerly enslaved people, Burroughs was born in Virginia in 1879 and graduated from what’s now Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in the District. The training school, no longer in operation, was renamed in Burroughs’ honor three years after she died, and D.C. has recognized her in another way. “There’s a Burroughs Avenue on the northeast side of D.C.,” Kidwell says, adding that Burroughs’ register represents “a little subtle thing that’s in the exhibit.”

Copy of BASIC for the Altair This roll of paper tape may not look like much, but it’s BASIC programming language software that was ubiquitous in personal microcomputers during the 1970s. BASIC stands for Beginners’ All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, and this software powered the Altair 8800, an early microcomputer from the now defunct Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems — the first such personal computer to sell in large numbers. “This [software] was one of the first products of a company called Micro-Soft,” Kidwell says, using the future tech giant’s original name. “This very humble object is the beginning of a transformation and a corporation.”

Xerox Star information system monitor In 1981, Xerox started selling systems of linked microprocessors for office use. While these devices were a “total flop,” according to Kidwell, they were among the first to use icons and offered applications for entering text, sending and receiving electronic mail, retrieving information, solving math equations, and more. And Xerox was one of the first companies to link workstations together. “It was only used within Xerox, but it had an influence on other people in Silicon Valley,” Kidwell says. “The people at Apple went to see it and were very, very impressed and decided that an iconbased interface would be the way to go.” Cheaper machines produced by competitors eventually took over the market, rendering the Star obsolete.

First-edition iPad This first-generation iPad belonged to a former museum intern who donated the tablet to the museum after she got a new iPad. Owners of Apple devices often replace their devices with newer models every year or two, unlike, say, mathematician R.C. Archibald, who bought a slide rule in the early 1900s and kept it for the rest of his career. “People throw out millions of computing devices every year and … I think that is more true now than it certainly was 50 years ago,” Kidwell says. “Mr. Archibald could have owned his slide rule for 20 years and it never did anything more or anything less.”

weekendpass SADIE DINGFELDER | THE STAYCATIONER
The other day, a tourist asked me for directions to the Smithsonian Castle. “Why?
Read my tips: Here’s how to see D.C. my way
There’s nothing there, except a nice bathroom,” I said. “It’s got one of the few working tampon machines on the entire Mall.” At the word “tampon,” this man looked distinctly uncomfortable. So I transitioned to a more innocuous topic: corpses. “If you do go to the Castle, be sure to check out the crypt where they’ve sealed up James Smithson. That’s the Smithsonian founder. He didn’t set foot in America when he was alive but Alexander Graham Bell dragged his coffin here in the early 1900s …” My new friend thanked me and sprinted away before I could finish. Clearly, the past three years I’ve spent as your Staycationer columnist have caused my brain to become so packed with D.C. travel tips, I can’t help but spew them at innocent passersby. To relieve the pressure, I’ve compiled my most urgent advice below — tips I hope will be of some use to both tourists and locals.
Just say no to tour buses. You know what else you can hop on and hop off of? The DC Circulator, which takes a more scenic loop around the Mall than the tour buses, and for approximately ¼0th the price. Want narration? Download Slate’s free “D.C. Memorials” audio tour.
Rent an e-scooter.
THE WASHINGTON POST PHOTOS
Menace though they may be on city sidewalks, electric scooters are actually ideal for sailing down the broad, paved, car-free surfaces that abound around the Mall. Seriously, you haven’t lived until you’ve slalomed through an eighth-grade tour group on one of these sweet rides.
Don’t be a herd animal. Sheeple form lines for no apparent reason. Make sure there’s a point to a queue before joining it.
Go to the Library of Congress.
Exhibit A: There’s often a line in front of the Barack Obama portrait at the National Portrait Gallery, above. If you don’t need a selfie with the painting (and you don’t), stand beside the line and take in the artwork from a slightly oblique angle.
The interior of the Jefferson Building is one of the most beautiful and colorful spaces in the city. No surface goes unadorned in this Italianate monument to the liberal arts. Plus, they have a Gutenberg Bible on display, one of only three perfect vellum copies left in the world!
Exhibit B: At the National Archives, you do have to stand in line to get into the atrium that holds the Constitution. But once you’re in there, don’t stay in line. Most people follow a slow-moving queue around a bunch of glass cases filled with replicas instead of walking directly to the original document, which is at the center along the back wall.
THURSDAY | 08.29.2019 | EXPRESS | 25
weekendpass Breeze through the Mount Vernon orientation center. There’s nothing notable in the first building you’ll enter at George Washington’s country estate — just some statues and a scale model of the president’s home. Save your steps for the sprawling plantation, and leave some time to browse the expansive museum near the farm’s exit.
Avoid the infotainment at Ford’s Theatre. The building’s small basement museum is filled with aging multimedia exhibits. Instead, spend your limited time with the actual artifacts — macabre objects including John Wilkes Booth’s pistol — you’ll find near the exit.
Take a free guided tour. Stop and smell the flowers. Expertly tended gardens flank nearly every Smithsonian building. My favorite is the Enid A. Haupt Garden, with its geometrical grids of plants and shrubbery, flanked by saucer magnolias that blossom extravagantly in the spring. Even in this well-peopled space, you can usually find solitude in the Moongate Garden, which is framed by stone arches that look like portals to another world.
Worth the wait: The Washington Monument and the National Museum of African American History and Culture, above. (You can get tickets online for both these venues, and you should aim to go early in the day, before things get backed up.)
Not worth the wait: Georgetown Cupcake (below left). (Baked & Wired, below right, is better.)
Worth the money: The Air and Space Museum’s interactive fighter airplane simulators ($10), Smithsonian sleepovers ($120), DC Ducks duck boat tours ($33-$45, above).
Not worth the money: All of the Smithsonian’s non-interactive simulators ($7-$12), Madame Tussauds ($22), the National Law Enforcement Museum ($21.95).
Free tours are offered at most major D.C. tourist sites, but few people take advantage of them. Don’t worry about getting stuck with a dud of a docent — if you get bored, thank your guide and peel off. Wandering on your own is allowed at most sites, though there are some notable exceptions. For instance, on tours of Congress, the Pentagon and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, you’re expected to stick with your group. Incidentally, these locked-down destinations are eminently skippable: The congressional tour focuses mostly on undistinguished statuary, the Pentagon is just an overgrown cubicle farm, and paper money is so last-century.
How to get a White House tour: Know someone who works there or request a tour through your congressional representative. If you don’t have a representative because you live in D.C., you may be out of luck. I tried for two years to get a tour through Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, to no avail. Do you have a workaround? Let me know!

They’re rewriting our story Trailblazers are coming to this year’s National Book Festival: More than 100 authors will appear at the Library of Congress’ 19th annual event Saturday, a lineup curated around the theme “Explore America’s Changemakers.” “It turns your head a little and makes you think, ‘Who are the people who have changed the landscape of the country or who have changed your mind?’ ” says Marie Arana, the festival’s literary director. “It makes for great conversations and a review of what you think is important.” Plenty of big names will appear during the daylong extravaganza to talk books — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and D.C. chef and humanitarian José Andrés are slated to appear on the main stage, for example. In the spirit of discovering new stories and inspiration, consider veering off the main-stage path and checking out these four changemakers. ANGELA HAUPT (FOR EXPRESS) Walter E.

Julia Alvarez
Richard Powers
3-3:45 p.m.; book signing 4:30-5:30 p.m.
4-4:45 p.m.; book signing 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Poet, fiction writer and essayist Alvarez is appearing at the festival to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her 1994 novel “In the Time of the Butterflies.” It’s a fictionalized account of four sisters’ lives during the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo, who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961. “It [provided a glimpse of] what it was like to live in a brutal dictatorship in Latin America,” Arana says. “It almost reads like science fiction, like George Orwell or something.” Alvarez, who was born in New York City but raised in the Dominican Republic during Trujillo’s rule, focuses much of her writing on explaining what it’s like for immigrants to come to America — with a particular emphasis on where they’ve come from. “She’s such a terrific spokesperson for the Hispanic experience, for the Hispanic presence in this country,” Arana says. “She’s very special.”
Powers is a tree guy: In his 2018 novel “The Overstory,” trees loom large as characters that help the human protagonists explore their relationship with the environment while raising awareness of threatened forests. “This is not our world with trees in it,” he writes in the book. “It’s a world of trees, where humans have just arrived.” “The Overstory,” Powers’ 12th novel, won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and has been lauded as a masterful work of activism. “There are novelists who have become so passionate about using their talents and their skills to talk about something as important as the environment, and that’s really quite a tremendous shift,” Arana says. “Richard Powers is extraordinary in the way he has taken the subject, which to many people is too big and will make their eyes glaze over, and brought it down to earth.”
Barbara Kingsolver
Parag Khanna
6-6:45 p.m.; book signing 4:30-5:30 p.m.
12:30-1:15 p.m.; book signing 2:30-3:30 p.m.
The Virginia-based author has changed the way we think about work, communities and our lifestyles, Arana says. Kingsolver’s fiction is often political, with plots that revolve around the fight for social equality by marginalized groups; her debut novel, 1988’s “The Bean Trees,” for example, centers on a Southern woman who adopts an abandoned Cherokee girl named Turtle. At the festival, Kingsolver will discuss her most recent novel, 2018’s “Unsheltered,” a story about two families that alternates between two centuries and examines what happens when long-held assumptions about the world are challenged. “It’s been a long time since an American novelist has taken on [this type of social commentary],” Arana says. “You go back to Sinclair Lewis or Upton Sinclair, and they were all about work and the way that we lived at the time, and the very human struggle of just getting by. But Barbara Kingsolver has revived that, all in a brand-new way.”
In “The Future Is Asian,” Khanna, who specializes in international relations, argues that the 21st century is “the time of Asianization,” and that the U.S. can’t afford to continue misunderstanding the region. The book, Khanna’s sixth, was published in February. “It’s basically, [the U.S. economy is] done, and the Asian economy is the next big thing,” Arana says, summarizing its thesis. Khanna has an impressive résumé: He’s the founder and managing partner of FutureMap, a strategic advisory firm, and he has degrees from the London School of Economics and the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. At the festival, Khanna is participating in a panel discussion called “The Future of Western Capitalism and the Rise of Asia” with Steven Pearlstein, a business and economics columnist for The Washington Post. The talk will be moderated by financier and philanthropist David M. Rubenstein.

Dark Side of the Rainbow
Oshun
Every classic rock fan knows this one: If you start playing Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” while watching “The Wizard of Oz,” the music seems to sync up to the film. “The Great Gig in the Sky” begins just as the tornado arrives, for example, and it can’t just be a coincidence, can it? Decide for yourself during this special movie night at Denizens, where the film and album will play simultaneously. Denizens
Oshun’s songs are rooted in R&B and soul but feel as if they came from another cosmic universe. The duo, who released debut album “Bittersweet Vol. 1” last year, use otherworldly electronic sounds to forge a unique sonic path that is distinctively their own. In a live setting, those futuristic songs are enhanced with space-themed visuals and props. Now based in New York, the D.C. natives will travel to Union Stage to play a homecoming show Saturday.
The Kennedy Center’s annual Page-to-Stage festival, now in its 18th year, can be overwhelming: More than 60 regional theater companies are staging readings and open rehearsals of works in development over three days — all free and open to the public. This year, you can check out Dance & Bmore’s musical take on the opera “Carmen” set in a high school and called “Voices of Carmen”; Adventure Theatre MTC’s familyfriendly “The Velveteen Rabbit”; or Synetic Theater’s dialogue-free take on “The Tempest,” the latest in the troupe’s Wordless Shakespeare series.

Jill Scott is a pivotal voice in the world of R&B, not just for her string of hit records, but also because of her outspokenness on womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights and issues.

Leslie Jones set to host ‘Supermarket Sweep’

STREAMING Among the most intriguing elements of “Mindhunter” is the way it interrogates the very reason some viewers watch it in the first place. Based on the real experiences of an FBI agent who initiated the bureau’s profiling of serial killers, the Netflix drama undoubtedly benefits from the American public’s fascination with true crime. And yet it also questions the soundness of that fascination from time to time. This becomes especially apparent in the second season, which premiered earlier this month. Special agent Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) has harbored a quiet obsession with Charles Manson since the pilot. A season and some change later, Ford and his partner, Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), finally get the chance to explore Manson’s motivations for themselves when they visit him in prison. That’s a lot of buildup to a single scene, in which Australian actor Damon Herriman (perhaps known most for FX’s “Justified”) plays the maniacal man. For viewers who can see past all the prosthetic makeup, recognition might set in: Herriman is, in fact, the same man who plays Manson in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood,” released last month. “It’s really just a crazy coincidence,” Herriman says. “There were two projects where they had the character of Charles Manson

shooting this year, and I’m guessing a lot of people auditioned for both, especially because he has a certain physicality in his look and height that narrows down the pool a bit. … Bizarrely, they ended up filming within a few weeks of each other.” Herriman only briefly appears in Tarantino’s film, when Manson scopes out Sharon Tate’s Cielo Drive residence in February 1969. The scene in “Mindhunter,” set more than a decade later, carries more heft, as Ford and Tench aim to understand the psyche of each criminal they interview. In the months between booking and shooting “Mindhunter,” which he did before “Once Upon

a Time,” Herriman got his hands on all the Manson material he could find. To embody the cult leader, he closely studied Manson’s vocal patterns and tics from videos of him in prison. “Most of it was something that
I’d seen him do, or that we’d been told he did,” Herriman says. “I didn’t want to be too inventive with a character like that.” The overall process of researching and playing Manson back-to-back was “equal parts fascinating and horrifying,” says Herriman, who would like to take a break from inhabiting disturbing characters, given that, in addition to the Manson projects, he recently played a rapist in the film “The Nightingale.” “Most actors will say playing villains is more fun, especially when they’re well-written,” he says. “But I also think there are only so many you want to be playing.” SONIA RAO (THE WASHINGTON POST)

trending “How does a chicken restaurant run out of chicken? I’m taking my money & talent back to Chick-fil-A. They would never.” @YOYOTRAV, criticizing Popeyes after it announced Tuesday afternoon
that it was completely sold out of its chicken sandwich. The sandwich last week sparked a Twitter war between Popeyes, Chick-fil-A and their respective sandwich supporters. Twitter was dumbfounded by Popeyes’ announcement, with many users wondering how the chain — known for its chicken — ran out of fried fowl. Popeyes said anyone wanting to know when the sandwiches are back in stock can download the Popeyes app.
@RYANKOHOUT, blasting the agency for its ban on the soda bottles fans can get from the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge park. The cans for Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite are designed to replicate the series’ “thermal detonators” — and happen to look like modern explosives. Fans were annoyed by the ban since lightsabers and droids are allowed on flights. Others praised the TSA for ensuring flyers’ safety.

“Thank god we have the TSA to protect us from ‘Star Wars’ memorabilia.”
“I will see ‘The King’ for Timothée Chalamet’s bowl cut & Robert Pattinson’s wig alone.” @LIZARDHAVENS, joking about the trailer for the Netflix film, which

stars Chalamet as King Henry V and Pattinson as the dauphin of France. Though many fans were excited for the movie itself, even more were distracted by the brief glimpse of Pattinson and his long hair, saying it would be the sole reason they watched the period film.

@AGENTTINSLEY, joking about Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian’s subtle troll of Maria Sharapova on Monday. Ohanian showed up to wife Serena Williams’ U.S. Open win against Sharapova sporting a T-shirt for D.A.R.E., an anti-drug program from the ’90s. Ohanian’s shirt appeared to be a dig at Sharapova’s two-year ban from tennis for using performance-enhancing drugs.
“Already 10x better than that tragic thing Jared Leto did.” @STANSROSEANNE, praising the
second trailer for “Joker,” which dropped Wednesday morning. Fans are getting excited for the Joaquin Phoenix-led film, citing Phoenix’s acting chops as well as the movie’s score and cinematography. Jared Leto starred as a much-ridiculed grill-wearing Joker in 2016’s “Suicide Squad.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) After discovering some common ground, you’ll forge an alliance today with someone whose principles are diametrically opposed to your own. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may receive news from a family member that has you making plans very quickly today — or changing those that you have already made. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Travel is in the picture, but you may want to consider taking a different route from that recommended by those who have taken the trip before. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may not fully understand just how your behavior of late has affected others. Today is a good day to consider making changes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to do things out of order today and you’re not likely to get them done at all. You must be able to follow a certain established protocol. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You don’t want anyone else to speak for you, and yet you don’t feel ready to speak on your own behalf. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll be able to work well with those who do not think the way you do, but only for a short time. Efficiency is the key.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ve
been avoiding reaching out to someone who seems to be critical of your current methods — but he or she can help you immensely.
TODAY: Mostly sunny skies prevail as high pressure builds in from the west. Meanwhile, light winds from the northwest and west keep the humidity down with comfortable dew points in the 50s. Skies remain mostly clear tonight, and with the drier air and light winds, temperatures cool off nicely. Most of us bottom out in the upper 50s.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are likely to be remembered not for what you do today, but for what you don’t do — and this is not at all a bad thing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - There are those who have a major decision to make, and they can’t do it before hearing what you have to say. Don’t make them wait too long.

RANTS
Pete leans into mean young man persona
NYC landlord outed as alien Former Soho House executive David Aldea said he didn’t know who Taylor Swift was before he rented out his townhouse on Cornelia Street in New York to the singer in 2016. “I really didn’t know her,” Aldea told Vulture. “I even said to someone, ‘I’m meeting a person named Taylor Swift who wants to rent my home.’ ” Swift kept Aldea’s furnishings and decor in the home while she rented it. The home is the subject of “Cornelia Street” on her new album.
Pete Davidson went on a rant about cellphones while performing on Monday at the University of Central Florida, Page Six reported. The 25-year-old comedian got upset when students broke his nocellphone rule. “That’s what’s f---ed up,” Davidson said. “That’s why the world is going to end in 25 years because you’re all f---ing retarded. I meant it that way, idiots.” He continued, “Where’s the next generation? Don’t you want adults to respect us? Don’t you want your parents to be proud of you?” In a statement, the university condemned Davidson’s use of a derogatory slur and said that his rant “spoiled” the event. (EXPRESS)

Kelly Clarkson said that dropping her kids off at school in the morning was non-negotiable when it came to scheduling for the “Kelly Clarkson Show” on NBC. “I was like, ‘I have to drop my kids off at school,’ ” Clarkson said. “You just have to prioritize and juggle and make people know it’s an important thing. And don’t feel guilty about it.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their son, Archie, to a local pub on Sunday, British tabloid The Sun reported.

John Stamos said in an interview with GQ magazine published Wednesday that he “can’t process” his “Full House” co-star Lori Loughlin’s role in the college admissions scandal. “Honestly, I can’t figure it out,” Stamos said. “Whatever happened,” he added, “I’m pretty sure that the punishment is not equal to the crime, if there was a crime.” (EXPRESS)
